- Jude plans to create a magazine for their final project and is considering topics like football, skateboarding, fashion, and hip hop. They feel most confident using these topics as they are part of their daily life.
- Jude created several mind maps and mood boards to help decide the content, color schemes, and logos for the magazine. The mood boards showed repetition of black and white photos and colors being used together.
- The mood boards will influence Jude's magazine by providing ideas for photos like looking away from the camera, brands to advertise, and logos to emulate with basic black and white designs and incorporating the title into the logo.
This is the standard utilized by our photographer all across the world. To achieve this Lifestyle photographer should be able to control these aspects and have a very good understanding of light. Light can play a vital half while photography interiors. Most of your images are leaving to be blasted with a low shutter speed, as the natural light levels are going to be very low, thus a tripod are going to be required.

The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Databasejavier ramirez
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.

Data Centers - Striving Within A Narrow Range - Research Report - MCG - May 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) expects to see demand and the changing evolution of supply, facilitated through institutional investment rotation out of offices and into work from home (“WFH”), while the ever-expanding need for data storage as global internet usage expands, with experts predicting 5.3 billion users by 2023. These market factors will be underpinned by technological changes, such as progressing cloud services and edge sites, allowing the industry to see strong expected annual growth of 13% over the next 4 years.
Whilst competitive headwinds remain, represented through the recent second bankruptcy filing of Sungard, which blames “COVID-19 and other macroeconomic trends including delayed customer spending decisions, insourcing and reductions in IT spending, energy inflation and reduction in demand for certain services”, the industry has seen key adjustments, where MCG believes that engineering cost management and technological innovation will be paramount to success.
MCG reports that the more favorable market conditions expected over the next few years, helped by the winding down of pandemic restrictions and a hybrid working environment will be driving market momentum forward. The continuous injection of capital by alternative investment firms, as well as the growing infrastructural investment from cloud service providers and social media companies, whose revenues are expected to grow over 3.6x larger by value in 2026, will likely help propel center provision and innovation. These factors paint a promising picture for the industry players that offset rising input costs and adapt to new technologies.
According to M Capital Group: “Specifically, the long-term cost-saving opportunities available from the rise of remote managing will likely aid value growth for the industry. Through margin optimization and further availability of capital for reinvestment, strong players will maintain their competitive foothold, while weaker players exit the market to balance supply and demand.”
Adjusting OpenMP PageRank : SHORT REPORT / NOTESSubhajit Sahu
For massive graphs that fit in RAM, but not in GPU memory, it is possible to take
advantage of a shared memory system with multiple CPUs, each with multiple cores, to
accelerate pagerank computation. If the NUMA architecture of the system is properly taken
into account with good vertex partitioning, the speedup can be significant. To take steps in
this direction, experiments are conducted to implement pagerank in OpenMP using two
different approaches, uniform and hybrid. The uniform approach runs all primitives required
for pagerank in OpenMP mode (with multiple threads). On the other hand, the hybrid
approach runs certain primitives in sequential mode (i.e., sumAt, multiply).

2. Initial Reaction
• After taking a brief look at what I need to complete for my final production, I feel very
confident that I will be able to complete my work very successfully.
• There was several different routes I could have taken for my final production and I am
choosing to create a magazine as it gives me some great experiences for future references as
I want to pursue a career in this aspect of media.
• After deciding that I want to create a magazine, I then have to decide what my magazine will
include. I have several ideas that I could use currently, which include football, skateboarding,
fashion and Hip Hop.
• The reason I have decided to consider these ideas is because they are the topics I feel most
confident and comfortable using as they are all part of my day to day life.
• I believe choosing football would be a very smart decision because I have lots of knowledge
on the sport which will help me create a detailed magazine.
• Also, I have lots of experience creating magazines that include football content as I chose this
route in my previous Print rotation where I gained lots of new skills.
• However I could also create a magazine that includes skateboarding, fashion and Hip Hop as
they all fit into a group in society, which would give the option to include lots of information.
• I will decide what my magazine will include after weighing up my options from the use
research and mind maps.
9. Mood Board Analysis
Is there any repetition in the images you have collected? Repeated
colours/images styles/fonts/tone/mood
• The repetition that I notice first is the use of black and white images throughout the mood board. This is very similar to the magazines
and websites that also study in these topics, which makes me believe that it is a trend amongst the people who live in these societies. I
also notice that in some photos such as the Ski Mask, ASAP Rocky and Travis Scott photo they all look away from the camera. This could
be a possible trend when placed in front of camera which seems pretty clear with Ski Mask and ASAP Rocky but I believe Travis Scott is
looking away because he doesn’t want to be publicized.
• In my second mood board I notice that most images include a contrast in colours. The reason why I included these images is because
when using a range of diverse colours it helps everything stand out.
• In my final mood board, I studied logos that are used throughout skateboarding and Hip Hop magazines. The first form of repetition I
notice is that they don’t use any forms of vibrant colours, or colours at all! Most logos are presented in a very basic black and white
form. I believe this reoccurs because many magazine companies have been inspired by the most successful brands such as HypeBeast
and Vans which also use the same techniques.
• How will your mood board influence your final product?
• After collecting a range of different photos throughout my mood board, it has influenced me to use some of the features included. The
first feature that I will be replicating on my magazine is looking away from the camera when a photo is being took. Not only is it a
current trend throughout the society of fashion, but I also don’t like looking directly at the camera so it works entirely in my favour. On
my mood board I also advertised several different brands on the first row, many of these brands will be advertised on my magazine as I
will be showing them off in the photos that we take in the photo shoot. Finally, I will also include photos of myself skateboarding which
will hopefully replicate the photos shown in my mood board.
• My second mood board will also influence my final product as I intend on applying the colour schemes I included in my magazine. This
includes using colours in a diverse manner and also applying peach - like colour layers over my images so that they hopefully look
similar to the images shown in the previous slide. This process can be used on Photoshop to edit my photos.
• My final mood board will influence my product as it has helped make it clear to me on how magazines logos within this genre should be
presented, so I will take lots of inspiration from the photos I included and will apply these features in my final production. An example
which can be seen in the previous slide is heading/title being presented within the logo itself, which I believe works very well.
