The music video uses, develops, and challenges conventions of the genre. It is a cover of Britney Spears' "Toxic" sung slower with more emotion by Yael Naim. The video sticks closely to the indie folk genre. It tells the story of an artist trapped in a toxic love through close-ups showing her emotions. It is entirely black and white to draw attention to her face. The narrative and cinematography portray the lyrics and keep the focus on the artist's emotions to engage the audience. Fast cuts are used throughout to keep time with the beats and draw in viewers, challenging conventions. The magazine advert and digipak cover keep consistent branding to help audiences recognize the artist and album across formats.

Columbus 2020 Investor Update | April 2018 | Tom PetersOne Columbus
Tom Peters, author of The Excellence Dividend: Meeting the Tech Tide with Work That Wows and Jobs That Last, shared insights from his book and how they be applied in the Columbus Region.
The document discusses how big data will impact transportation through the concept of a "Zero Dollar Car". It describes how vehicle connectivity and data collection from sensors could allow car manufacturers to offer vehicles for $0 up front by subsidizing the cost through data monetization and selling packaged sensor data. Two scenarios are presented: 1) Selling sensor packages separately could generate $60,000 in revenue. 2) An ecosystem subsidy of $5,500 per year for 5 years could also offset the $27,500 base price of a vehicle. The document argues this model could make new vehicles affordable through data revenue streams.
