This document discusses potential filming locations for a media project and identifies hazards and risks associated with each location:
1. An alleyway is proposed for a kidnapping scene but there is no pavement; the alleyway on the other side of the road could be used instead.
2. A wooded area is suitable for a search scene but there is a risk of tripping or getting lost; hazards will be avoided by sticking to paths.
3. Permission is needed to film in a coffee shop proposed for a discussion scene.
4. A messy bedroom is suitable for a drug use scene but there is a nearby pond risking drowning; people will stay away from the pond.

Flora Gomes is the only filmmaker in Guinea-Bissau, one of the poorest nations in the world. He has directed three films that have been selected for and won awards at international film festivals. His films explore themes of social and cultural change in Guinea-Bissau through stories of individual characters experiencing rejuvenation.
- The document is a mock travel itinerary for a spring break trip to North Korea created by Joey Quigg.
- The itinerary details transportation arrangements, including a $1,000 round trip flight on Air Koryo and $70-200 per night hotels. It also includes a $600 5-day tour with Adventure Korea that will visit cities around the country.
- Activities mentioned include shooting ranges where tourists can shoot at images of Americans or live chickens, as well as using the public pool and ice skating rink on certain days, though there is a warning that if injured, locals will not help due to fear of foreigners.
The main character wakes up hungover outside with a radio and empty beer bottle. He sees photos of himself smashing a bottle over someone's head. He tries to ask a passing person for help but accidentally hits them with the bottle. He realizes he must have been the person in the photos from the night before. The document discusses the mystery thriller genre and provides storyboards and notes on mise-en-scene, sound, and health and safety considerations for the film.
SingularityU Canada is a Canadian nonprofit founded in 2017 to bring the ideas and teachings of Singularity University to Canada. SingularityU Canada creates educational experiences to help people understand and prepare for exponential technologies. It brings together experts from fields like AI, robotics, blockchain, and more to strategize about the future. The faculty includes leaders from Google, Clearpath Robotics, the University of Toronto, and other organizations working on emerging technologies.
The document discusses the shifting landscape of healthcare. It notes that healthcare delivery is highly susceptible to disruption, while the average time from evidence to practice is 17 years. However, exponential technologies like digitization, 3D printing, sensors, and personalized medicine offer opportunities to make healthcare more proactive, predictive, precise and personalized. This represents a shift from today's reactive, institution-centered model to a decentralized, data-driven model focused on outcomes over inputs. The changes may benefit users, employers and new businesses while challenging traditional healthcare providers and structures.
Here are the key points from Dr. Irwin Adam's presentation "Feeding the Future":
- By 2050 we will need to feed 10 billion people, 3 billion more than we are currently feeding. Food produced needs to be nutritious while also protecting the climate.
- Currently we waste 1/3 of all food produced globally, and 1/2 of food produced in Canada is wasted.
- Agriculture contributes to greenhouse gas emissions at levels similar to the energy and transportation sectors.
- Exponential technologies like AI, blockchain, robotics and synthetic biology are transforming the food system and how we produce, distribute and consume food.
- The dinner table is no longer just about eating, but about the

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
