Games involving kicking a ball have been played for centuries worldwide, with modern soccer rules developing in 19th century England from earlier variations. The first official rules were published in 1863 by the Football Association, founding international and regional governing bodies. A standard soccer match consists of two 45-minute halves, with the objective being to score more goals than the opposing team within the time period using mainly the feet, legs and head while following guidelines around equipment, player numbers and prohibited actions.

MongoDB + GeoServer
This presentation will dive into a development team’s use case for choosing MongoDB as their spatially enabled NoSQL solution. The talk will also cover how the integration of GeoServer can expand the accessibility of your data. GeoServer is the open source implementation of Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards and a core component of the Geospatial Web.
Giving MongoDB a Way to Play with the GIS Community
The Geographic Information System (GIS), industry is booming, especially with the continued reliance on online maps and the rise of location-aware mobile devices. GIS tech can be one of the key players in the mobile internet, big data, and the internet of things, and is an essential tool for the next generation of the global IT industry.
Yet, the GIS community is not prepared. With all the data available, GIS experts lack an off-the-shelf solutions to manage the growing volume of spatial data. Relational spatial databases (RSDB) were the leader in this field for decades, but RSDBs have failed to innovate to handle massive volumes of data coming in at high velocity.
Fortunately, MongoDB a useful tool for this challenge, but needs some tooling to create a connector to the GIS tech ecosystem. In order to bridge the gap, we built a pipeline to comply with the architecture of the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL), so that MongoDB can work with most of popular GIS tools such as OpenLayers, Mapserver, GeoServer, QGIS, ArcGIS and others with ease. In this talk, I'll go through this pipeline tool and showcase some examples of how you can use this in your next application.

What is ethics
This document defines ethics and discusses its scope and methods. It provides several definitions of ethics, describing it as the science of customs or habits in society and the study of right and good human conduct. It notes ethics is a normative science that seeks to determine moral standards rather than describe natural phenomena. The document outlines several methods of ethics, including psychological, historical, and metaphysical approaches. It states the true method is both empirical and transcendental, systematically explaining moral judgments. The objective of ethics is defining the highest good for humans or society as a basis for moral reasoning.
Development journalism 1
The document discusses the history and goals of development journalism. It began in the 1960s with a focus on critically analyzing government development projects and their impact. Today, development journalism aims to improve conditions in developing countries by investigating and reporting on issues like poverty, healthcare, education, and sustainability. Journalists uncover overlooked stories and empower citizens by bringing attention to important issues and proposing solutions. The document also discusses different eras in development communication theory, from modernization to participatory models emphasizing local voices.
Collecting, analyzing and interpreting data
This document discusses the process of collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data in research. It involves:
1) Collecting appropriate data through selected methods and tools based on the research question, respondents, objectives, and available resources.
2) Analyzing raw data by coding and tabulating it into categories for further analysis, attempting to classify it into purposeful categories. Software can help with large amounts of data.
3) Interpreting relationships or differences found in the analysis to determine validity of conclusions and explain findings, with the goal of answering the original research questions.
Photographic lighting
Photography relies on light to capture images. There are two categories of light sources - natural (sunlight, moonlight) and artificial (flash, lamps, studio lights). Light has characteristics like direction (overhead, front, back, side), quality (hard or soft) that impact photographs. When taking photos outdoors, the photographer aims to position the subject so light hits from the side to create depth and shadows. Reflectors can bounce light into shadow areas. Indoor lighting uses a main light and fill light(s) to shape shadows. Existing light photos require careful focus in low light and bracketing exposures without a meter.
Basic photography aperture and depth-of-field
The document discusses aperture and depth of field in photography. It explains that aperture refers to the size of the opening in a camera lens, which can be adjusted to control the amount of light passing through. A smaller aperture number means a larger opening size and more light. Adjusting the aperture also impacts depth of field, which is the area of the image that remains in focus. A smaller aperture produces a greater depth of field, while a larger aperture gives a shallower depth of field with less in focus behind and in front of the focused subject. The depth of field effect allows photographers to control which image details are clear.
Basic photography depth of field
Depth of field refers to the area of an image that is in sharp focus versus out of focus or blurred. Controlling depth of field through aperture allows photographers to emphasize subjects by blurring backgrounds. A smaller aperture number (larger opening) produces a shallower depth of field with a blurred background. Choosing lenses with wider maximum apertures allows shooting in lower light and more dramatic blurring of backgrounds. Controlling depth of field through aperture adds impact to photographs.
Basic photography composition techniques
This document discusses basic photography composition techniques. It covers organizing subjects through framing, holding the camera correctly to avoid blur, using auto-focus modes, varying flash settings, experimenting with angles like high and low, applying the rule of thirds for positioning subjects off-center, and tips for photos of people like moving in close and animals like choosing flattering backgrounds. The document provides an overview of fundamental technical and compositional strategies in photography.
An introduction to exposure
Exposure refers to the amount of light that reaches the camera sensor to capture an image. The two primary controls for exposure are shutter speed, which determines how long the sensor is exposed to light, and aperture, which controls the size of the lens opening. Shutter speeds are measured in fractions of a second, while apertures are measured in f-stops. Changing shutter speed and aperture allows photographers to control aspects like freezing or blurring motion, depth of field, and drawing attention to certain subjects.
Interpretative (interpretive) reporting
Interpretative reporting goes beyond basic facts to provide context and analysis. It refreshes news with background materials to make it comprehensive and meaningful. Interpretative reporting uses explanation, analysis and description skills. The journalist gathers facts, makes educated guesses, and draws interpretations from experts. While trying to be objective, the journalist's selection and ordering of information represents a certain viewpoint. Interpretative reporting adds analysis and speculation about causes and significance to objective facts.
Practical journalism
The document provides guidance on writing news stories and what constitutes news. It discusses that news is a timely report of facts, ideas, events or problems that interest people. It also notes several factors that are important for determining what is considered news, such as significance, proximity and unexpectedness. The document also provides tips for journalists on preparing for interviews, covering news conferences, finding story angles, structuring news stories and attributing sources.
Investigative reporting
Investigative journalism involves deeply investigating topics of public interest, such as crime, corruption, or corporate wrongdoing. It requires original research through sources and documents to uncover new information or shed light on an issue in a way that reveals its significance. The core of investigative journalism is to uncover information that is in the public interest. Successful investigative journalists employ strong reporting skills, determination, and ethics to ferret out well-guarded information from hostile sources on issues that matter to readers.
The critical tradition
The critical tradition arose to question the outcomes of communication and analyze power structures in society. The Frankfurt School introduced this approach, analyzing how power imbalances are perpetuated through language, media, and science. Critical scholars aim to expose hidden oppression and stimulate social action. They challenge the control of language, the role of media, and uncritical acceptance of empirical findings. While diverse, critical scholars broadly aim to understand how arrangements enforce certain stakeholders' power in ways that can dominate and oppress others.
The socio cultural tradition
The socio-cultural tradition views communication and language as central to the construction of culture and reality. Pioneered by Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf, this tradition posits that the structure of a culture's language shapes thought and behavior. Through interaction and communication, meanings, norms, and rules are constructed and cultures are established. Reality is seen as an interactive social process rather than an objective fact.
Ethical traditions
Ethics refers to standards of right and wrong that prescribe how humans should act. These standards are based on virtues like honesty and compassion, as well as rights and obligations. Ethics also involves studying and examining one's moral beliefs and actions. There are several approaches to determining ethical standards, including considering the consequences of actions (utilitarianism), respecting individual rights, fairness and justice, the common good of society, and virtues of good character. While these approaches don't always agree, together they provide a framework for ethical decision making.
Seven traditions in the field of communication socio-psychological tradition
The socio-psychological tradition in communication epitomizes the scientific perspective, using systematic observation and experimental methods to study cause-and-effect relationships and behavioral change. Its founding father, Carl Hovland, conducted experimental research on the effects of communication at Yale University. The tradition brought empiricism to communication research by systematically studying relationships between communication stimuli, audience characteristics, and opinion change. It can be divided into behavioral, cognitive, and communi-biological branches.
Law of defamation
This document discusses the law of defamation. It defines defamation as a false statement that lowers someone's reputation, causes them to be avoided, exposes them to hatred/ridicule, or damages their profession. Defamation can be a civil or criminal offense. The purpose of defamation laws is to protect people's reputations from injurious statements. There are various defenses to defamation claims including justification, fair comment, privilege, consent, and innocent dissemination. Remedies for defamation include damages, injunctions, retractions, and published apologies.
Media law 1
The document discusses media laws and regulations in Nigeria, outlining the constitutional guarantees of freedom of expression and the press. It also examines the specific regulatory requirements for establishing newspapers, radio, and television stations in Nigeria, including the need for licensing and meeting certain legal standards. The goals of the regulations are to maintain order in broadcast operations and ensure media are used responsibly and in accordance with the objectives of the state.
Mapping the territory
This document outlines seven traditions or perspectives in the field of communication theory: socio-psychological, cybernetic, rhetorical, semiotic, socio-cultural, critical, and phenomenological. It also discusses three traditions proposed by Alvarado & Boyd-Barrett and six aspects of communication outlined by the British Film Institute. Finally, it summarizes seven traditions of communication proposed by Boyd-Barrett & Newbold, including mass society/functionalism/pluralism, media effects, political economy, public sphere, media occupations, cultural hegemony, and feminism. The document provides an overview of different theoretical frameworks for understanding communication.
Approaches to communication the idea of theory.
The document discusses the idea of theory in communication. It states that theories are used in everyday life and are the academic foundation of every discipline. Theories allow scholars to transform information into knowledge and communicate knowledge. Theories also challenge existing ways of living and generate new ways of living. A theory is an organized set of concepts, explanations, and principles about some aspect of human experience.
