SchulMedia: News Reel #1 (News & Short CJ Updates)
Schulmanator posted a City Journal entry in Schulmania
SchulMedia: News Reel #1 (#2) (#3) (#4) These are the odd one or three pictures that aren't enough to make a full update with but I still want to show you. I'll sort of put them here and arrange in reverse chronological order. The most recent ones will be first and we'll work our way backwards. I'll put the date by each. There will be the occasional thing I have just a few pictures of but still want to use. For those, look here! After 20 stories the next newsreel will start. So, [here's] the continuation... Monday 24 February 2014: News Brief #20 Another enterprise in Schulmania is the joint venture with Evean Vansop to build an industrial town along the Fresca River in Mookimia. The town, Cave Canem, is under development. Read more about the plan [here]. Tuesday 18 February 2014: News Brief #19 On Patrol with the Schulmania National Air Force Brought to you by Proud sponsor of the Schulmania National Military and official indoor grill of the Gotham City office of the Bureau of Feline Affairs Today, we join SNAF pilots on patrol over Robinia, largest city in the Southlands and capital of the Regency of Wirdleonia. Stepped up air patrols have reduced Queensferry incursions into our airspace and seem to have deterred missile launches against civilian targets to a large extent. These planes are stationed at Maxis AFB in The Wirdleplex and patrol Wirdleonia and East Atkinos. COL Leaci and LT Fast Eagle have been effective leaders of the two squadrons doing flyovers. In the past week, their forces shot down five enemy craft venturing into Schulminion airspace... with no losses to our forces. Data recovered from the crash sites indicates that Queensferry's military has largely gone into hibernation for the winter. This should provide a great opportunity to seize the offensive and finally rid our land of the evil scourge! Sunday 16 February 2014: News Brief #18 Congratulations to the Chamber of Commerce's Business of the Month... Batman Industries (a division of Wayne Enterprises), the maker of the George Batman Grill. These are made in Robinia, the capital of Wirdleonia. This little blue workshop by the rail yard is small in size but delivers BIG on flavor! Great job, Batman Industries! Sunday 9 February 2014: News Brief #17 Bonus update! Made a little something new and decided to add it in here rather than wait for it to get a mention in a future chapter about the capital's 3rd district... behold: And our curator, Dr. Deoxyrobonucleic, affectionately known as "D" This new museum next to Sardine Square is home to great exhibits on the natural world, fossils and all sorts of cool stuff. And there's a special gallery devoted to our way cool ancestors! Don't mess with this dude! Seriously. The other prehistoric creatures in the forest just gave him their lunch money and skulked away.... And now the museum! Wednesday 5 February 2014: News Brief #16 For the first time ever, Schulmania had more German visitors today than from any other nation. Rock on, Germany!! Saturday 1 February2014: News Brief #15 The National Capital Region has been named OSITM for SC4Devotion this month! Woo hoo! Friday 24 January 2014 (through Tuesday 28 January): News Brief #14 Let me tell you what's gone wrong with my technology and maybe you have a solution. I am not sure what is going on but I cannot get to anything on my computer ATM because it won't respond to the monitor (or vice versa), For the moment Schulmania is in stasis as I cannot see it to get to anything. Here's the chronology: Technology: A few (3 or 4) years old WIn 7 HP PC with a HP monitor... everything was running just fine and incident free until yesterday Yesterday PM: iTunes asked me to update itself so I said yes. It tried and failed. Said I didn't have access (admin level) to make changes, though I do. I went through a few trials and it never would update. So I tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. It got 99.9% through installing and insisted I didn't have access to change the Apple Mobile Control Device (which I do... and I even installed with "run as admin"). Still no luck. So I gave up and moved on to other business, such as Schulmania updates, and figured I would try iTunes Friday again. Before I went to bed I got an error message saying some program (didn't say which, but I assume was iTunes related) was unable to access (or some such thing) Microsoft Visual Basic C++. The error message did not give me any options to do anything... just a notification. When I went to bed, everything was just fine minus the missing iTunes.... everything else seemed to be in good working order and running just fine. This morning: Turned on everything and the PC started just fine. Monitor turned on and then went to sleep, claiming there was no signal. I tried turning every component on and off to no avail. The computer's light turns on, the fan runs and such but the monitor says no input. I check and rechecked every connection between the two and all are fine. I even tried hooking up my old computer monitor to see if it was the monitor's problem but I got the same no signal result. UPDATE 25 JAN 2014: If you are wondering about the "beep code" I get none on startup. I have an integrated graphics card. So.... any thoughts as to what may be going on and how to fix it? Any help would be most gratefully appreciated! And should it be time for a new PC, any thoughts about Windows 8 and SC4? If you have both, how well is it working for you? UPDATE 26 JAN 2014: Successfully installed SC4 on the new computer... tomorrow I attempt to recover the Schulmania files on the disabled HD. Wish me luck! UPDATE 27 JAN 2014: I am currently copying over 46,515 SimCity files*... we may be back and in power soon!!! *And about 195 GB of other stuff... UPDATE 28 JAN 2014: I am pleased to report that the Schulmania restoration has been an overwhelming success! There appears to be little to no data loss and evrything seems to be functioning properly. Other than some minor performance issues of the game itself, Schulmania is now officially back and in power!!!! Wednesday 15 January 2014: News Brief #13 The Feline Realms are pleased to announce that talks are now underway for a high level Schulmania diplomatic mission to Belize and Guatemala in mid 2014. More details about the proposal will come once negotiations are complete. Wednesday 8 January 2014: News Brief #12 The Government of Schulmania Diplomatic Office has announced that a new nation, Teddyland, has established diplomatic relations with the Feline Realms. Teddyland will house a consulate in the Castle of Consulates, shown below, until a permanent embassy site in Friendsville has been selected. The BUreau of Feline Affairs and Schulmania will also open an embassy in Teddyland soon. Wednesday 1 January 2014: News Brief #11 While the feline citizens of Schulmania were ringing in the new year with celebrations and parties, two very different events were taking place... First, news reached our furry friends that Expo 2013, the Feline World's Fair, would be held over until March 31 due to popular demand! Meanwhile, close to the front lines of the war against Queensferry, enemy planes were dropping propaganda across the countryside, offering 'changes' to start the new year... ominous changes...

Monday 9 December 2013: News Brief #7 Llama Party Time! Schulmania Volume 3 hit 300K views today! Woo hoo! (The llamas don't follow the rules or the road; the rules of the road follow them!) Wednesday 4 December 2013: News Brief #6 The Schulmania National Military has decided to take a radical new approach to confronting the of Schulmania's coast and the deprivation it has caused our cute and furry population. Our engineers have designed a new secret facility, the SFR, to help stabilize our natural resources supply. Read about it in Military Briefing #11 on the Schulmania website.

Tuesday 5 November 2013: News Brief #3 Tuesday 29 October 2013: News Brief #2 A large contingent of injured soldiers arrived at Checkpoint 6 at The Wirdleplex border late last night. They report a Queensferry offensive has been launched in the central Devonian Mountains, ostensibly to celebrate their "anniversary" on Simtropolis. At Wirdleplex Naval Base, Admiral Hestorb received the news with alarm. She has an extensive naval campaign ready to execute off the Devonshire coast and this development could very well upend the operation before it gets underway. More data is needed to determine what the enemy is up to... Tactical response Teams will be dispatched to report back. Tuesday 22 October 2013: News Brief #1 Today, we see a few of the newer embassies open in the diplomatic city of Friendsville. There's more of course, but these are the 3 most recently opened ones.
