This article documents the events surrounding the unauthorized use of one of my photographs in a work named Rocky by Oliver Clegg, from the initial discovery through to the current situation.

Charles & Ray Eames Residence,

The Eames House (also known as Case Study House No. 8) is a landmark of mid-20th century modern architecture located at 203 North Chautauqua Boulevard in the Pacific Palissades neighborhood of Los Angeles. 

It was constructed in 1949, by husband-and-wife design pioneers Charles & Ray Eames, to serve as their home and studio. The house was commissioned by Arts & Architecture magazine as part of its Case Study House program, challenging architects to design progressive, but modest, homes in Southern California.

Charles and Ray moved into the home on Christmas Eve in 1949 and never moved out (Charles died in August 1978 and Ray died in August 1988).

Charles's daughter, Lucia Eames, inherited the home and created the non-profit organization, the Eames Foundation, in 2004. Still a historic house museum maintained by the Eames Foundation, it was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2006 and serves as a pilgrimage site for nearly 20,000 visitors a year.

Ah! How very intelligent! The creature has become dexterous. The sigils upon this log are very, very hard to understand and master. This novel is about a very interesting series of shapes and their associated values called numbers, as well as implements. Sometimes the implements attack the shape series. It makes me very sad. But in the end, the shape series is okay, unless touched by a lightning hand.

As some of you may know I do a ridiculous amount of research into writing my fics because it’s what helps me develop new and unique storylines, adds layers to the characters, and adds a sense of place for the reader.

Today I’ve been doing a lot of research for Brett Richard sand the world I’m creating around the sex club he works in as a dom – The Smoke Show.

Case Study - a highly detailed analysis of a particular subject, usually involving multiple sets of quantitative data observed over a period of time that allow researchers to draw conclusions in the context of the real world.

Throughout the years, the results of case study research have given us a greater and more holistic understanding in fields such as medicine, political and social sciences, and economics.

Researchers have used case studies to explore relationships between variables and a central subject, whether that subject be a human's reaction to medication, a country’s reaction to an economic crisis, or the effect of pesticides on crops over a period of time.

This methodology relies heavily on data collection and qualitative research to answer hypotheses in multiple fields.

Types of Case Studies

There are several different kinds of case studies. Here are a few:

Illustrative case study: Researchers use observations on every angle of a specific case, generally resulting in a thorough and deep data analysis.

Exploratory case study: Primarily used to identify research questions and qualitative methods to explore in subsequent studies, this type of case study is frequently in use in the field of political science.

Cumulative case study: This type relies on the analysis of qualitative data gathered over a range of timelines, which can draw new conclusions from old research methodology or studies.

Critical instance case study: Used to answer questions about the cause and effects of a particular event, critical instance case studies are helpful in cases that pose unique perspectives on otherwise established truths.

Marketing case study: This type of case study evaluates the quantifiable results of a marketing strategy, new product, or other business decision.

Examples of Case Studies

Here are a three examples of case studies in different fields:

Content marketing: In the marketing context, case studies typically explain how the business responded to the needs of a certain client, and whether or not the response was effective. Since these types of case studies are a tool to attract new customers rather than to merely share information, they should contain clear headings, attractive fonts, and infographic data that is easy to interpret.

Neuroscience: The tragic case of Phineas Gage allowed researchers to observe the changes in behavior and personality he experienced after surviving a horrific railroad accident that damaged parts of his brain. This led to a better understanding of the relationship between our frontal lobe and emotional functioning. This type of research is an example of a case study that would be impossible to ethically replicate in a laboratory, but nonetheless was a breakthrough in neuroscience and health care.

Psychoanalysis: Modern talk therapy owes much to the individual case of Anna O, otherwise known as Bertha Pappenheim. While living in Vienna in 1880, she began experiencing severe hallucinations and mood swings. Joseph Bruer, a pioneer in psychoanalysis, took Bertha under his care, and after multiple sessions where she discussed her inner emotional state and fears with Bruer, her symptoms waned. This case study is often seen as the first successful example of psychoanalysis.

Benefits of a Case Study

A case study can allow you to:

Collect wide-reaching data: Using a case study is an excellent way to gather large amounts of data on your subject, generally resulting in research that is more grounded in reality. For example, a case study approach focused on business research could have dozens of different data sources such as expense reports, profit and loss statements, and information on customer retention. This collected data provides different angles you can use to draw conclusions in a real-life context.

Conduct studies in an accessible way: You do not need to work in a lab to conduct a case study. In a number of cases, researchers use case study methodology to study things that cannot be replicated in a laboratory setting, such as observing the spending habits of a group of people over a period of months.

Reduce bias: Since case studies can capture a variety of perspectives, researchers’ own preconceptions on a subjects have less of an influence.

See connections more clearly: Through case studies, you can track paths of positive or negative development, which makes specific results repeatable, verifiable, and explainable.

Johanna Mason is a 22-year-old woman born in District 7.

Johanna has always been described as being impulsive and having a knack for masking her true emotions. Lately, she has been engaging in more risky and impulsive behavior with axes, as well as relapsing back into using morphling. Johanna has stated she has intense and usually irrational fears of losing people close to her, predominantly her fellow surviving victors she keeps in contact with.

When talking with Ms. Mason her moods and perception of others and herself tended to change rapidly, she would be shown to have intense anger spells that would last mere minutes before calming down and moving onto a different subject. Sometimes, when speaking about her fellow victors, primarily Annie Cresta and Katniss Everdeen, she had erratic opinions on them, she could go from praising one to saying many disapproving matters right after.

When asked about her childhood and early life she stated "It was about as good as district life could get." She mentioned her father was a head lumberjack while her mother would sell things from their garden in District 7's black market, but they were never really present throughout her childhood, often off working. But it was only when she turned 17 and got reaped into the hunger games did her life really go downhill, Johanna recalled her game's, family's execution and being forced into prostitution shortly after. And she stated she became extremely close with another victor named Finnick Odair who died during the second rebellion, but went through a lot of similar things she did.

After spending time with Ms. Mason and recording her symptoms I diagnosed her with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). As she aligns with many of the symptoms present in this disorder, such as difficulty regulating emotions which can lead to constant and extreme mood swings. As well as her fears of abandonment along with her impulsive and often self-destructive behavior.
