History and Process of Animation
Animation is created through rapidly displaying a sequence of images to create the illusion of movement. The history of animation includes early devices from the 1800s like the phenakistoscope and praxinoscope. Traditional animation begins with storyboards and involves animators drawing sequences of images on sheets of paper called cels, which are layered and photographed to create the animation frame by frame. Stop motion animation makes physically manipulated objects appear to move on their own. Different forms of animation include stop motion using models or clay, and computer animation created with software.
LEGO Stop Motion Animation - BrickCon 2013
Dustin Woodard presents on the history and techniques of stop motion animation. He discusses how stop motion works by stringing together a series of pictures to create the illusion of movement. Some notable early stop motion films include Humpty Dumpty's Circus from 1898 and The Trip to the Moon from 1902. Modern classics like Star Wars and Nightmare Before Christmas used stop motion techniques. Upcoming films like The LEGO Movie will also feature stop motion.

USING E-INFRASTRUCTURES FOR BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION - Module 1
An e-Infrastructure is a distributed network of service nodes, residing on multiple sites and managed by one or more organizations. e-Infrastructures allow scientists residing at distant places to collaborate. They offer a multiplicity of facilities as-a-service, supporting data sharing and usage at different levels of abstraction, e.g. data transfer, data harmonization, data processing workflows etc. e-Infrastructures are gaining an important place in the field of biodiversity conservation. Their computational capabilities help scientists to reuse models, obtain results in shorter time and share these results with other colleagues. They are also used to access several and heterogeneous biodiversity catalogues.
In this course, the D4Science e-Infrastructure will be used to conduct experiments in the field of biodiversity conservation. D4Science hosts models and contributions by several international organizations involved in the biodiversity conservation field. The course will give students an overview of the models, the practices and the methods that large international organizations like FAO and UNESCO apply by means of D4Science. At the same time, the course will introduce students to the basic concepts under e-Infrastructures, Virtual Research Environments, data sharing and experiments reproducibility.

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAU
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away
