Web applications scalability prolems - eslam mahmoud
This document discusses scalability issues with web applications. It defines scalability as "doing what you do in a bigger way" and advises thinking about scalability from the beginning of a project. The document provides tips for investigating scalability problems, such as analyzing database queries, connections, error logs, CPU usage, and caching. It lists lessons learned that emphasize simplicity, iterative scaling, comprehensive monitoring, and surrounding oneself with advisors.
Music magazine front cover analysis[1]
The document analyzes the front cover design of the music magazine NME. It discusses NME's use of a fixed masthead logo in the top left corner in red font to develop brand identity. The front cover typically features a mid-shot image of an artist not smiling to convey importance, taking up most of the right side. The headline is in big bold letters on the left to catch attention. Color choices of red, gold, and white are used for contrast and to represent success. The document provides guidance on incorporating similar design elements for a school magazine project.
Locations!
This document provides location suggestions for filming scenes in a movie about a boxer whose brother is killed, prompting him to seek vengeance through illegal underground fight clubs. The locations include:
1) A boxing club to show the main character's innocent beginnings in the sport.
2) An abandoned building like a parking garage or basement to portray the dark and corrupt atmosphere of the illegal fight clubs.
3) An alleyway or tunnel where the brother's murder occurs, with the scene possibly in black and white except for the color red to emphasize the blood.
4) The main character's garden where he trains alone at night after quitting the boxing club.
5) Urban streets to depict the typical environment

Media trailer
The trailer begins with quick flashes of production logos to subliminally familiarize viewers. It then shows the two main characters in a tense conversation, demonstrating prior drama through their body language. The trailer incorporates extensive training clips to emphasize the action and show boxing as an escape for the main character. It aims to provoke excitement in male viewers through violence and brief provocative imagery, drawing them into the film's climax.
Media trailer
The trailer for "The Fighter" begins with quick flashes of production logos to subliminally familiarize viewers. It then shows the two main characters in a tense conversation where one promises to never work with the other again, hinting at past drama. The trailer uses medium close-ups to show the characters' contrasting body language and emotions during their talk. It incorporates many clips of the main character training in boxing to emphasize the sports action and show it as his stress relief from arguments with his brother. The trailer aims to appeal to male viewers through the violence and brief provocative image. It uses powerful sound effects of boxing during training scenes that build tension but stop without release, leaving viewers wanting to see the climax in
Plot summarised
Two brothers are amateur boxers who share a close bond. The older brother is murdered by a gang, sending the younger brother into a spiral. He enters an underground fighting tournament to seek revenge on the gang leader responsible for his brother's death. The climactic ending will feature a fight between the main character and the gang leader in the final match of the tournament.
Characters!
The document discusses characters and casting for a boxing film trailer. The filmmaker will play either the main character or older brother and teach boxing basics to the other actor. A voice actor with a deep, masculine voice is needed for the voiceover as the target audience is males ages late teens to early twenties. Extras are also needed to portray members of a boxing club, fight club, gang members, and Karan Kakkar in a vest top.
Part 3 of my media evaluation
The document discusses strategies for attracting an audience to a magazine. It describes using a brightly colored logo, including a competition on the front page to attract fans of a band, and highlighting two provocative quotes from a band interview to intrigue readers. It also discusses briefly summarizing an article on the contents page and highlighting the two main stories to quickly show readers which bands are featured. The document concludes by reflecting on learning that Microsoft Publisher limited creativity while Comic Life and Adobe Fireworks allowed for more experimental designs and advanced image editing.
What have you learnt from your audience feedback
The document discusses feedback the author received on various media products from posting on social media sites. Feedback helped the author improve a magazine cover design by changing the lettering color [1]. Positive feedback on a film trailer reassured the author their vision was coming across well and helped them realize they forgot to include a release date [2]. Getting feedback from audiences is essential to creating successful media texts that people will enjoy, as others may provide ideas you didn't think of [3].
Part 2 to my media evaluation
This document discusses a magazine aimed at teenagers and young adults aged 16-21, primarily males. The magazine represents this target audience through fashion choices shown in photos, such as hoodies and polo shirts. It also features an emotional article about a band member's personal issues to engage readers who may be experiencing similar feelings. The magazine would likely be distributed by Bauer Media Group, as they publish musical magazines like Kerrang and Q targeted at younger audiences, which is important since this magazine aims to reach student Explorers.
Part 1 to my media evaluation
The document discusses how the media product uses conventions from real magazines. Some conventions utilized include cover lines at the top and bottom to attract customers and pique interest. The masthead displays the magazine title, date, and issue number to create brand recognition. Content pages are neatly organized with section titles, borders around images, and page numbers highlighted for easy navigation. Articles follow a three column layout for readability. A quote "run around" entices readers to learn more. While most conventions are followed, the front cover image challenges expectations by depicting the subject in shadows to match a secretive article topic.

Individual disability income insurance protects your most valuable asset - your ability to work and earn an income. Approximately 30% of people aged 35 to 65 will suffer a disability lasting 90 days or longer. Having disability insurance is important because it can replace a portion of your income if you become injured or ill and cannot work. Without disability coverage, you may not be able to afford your expenses like your mortgage or tuition payments. Individual disability insurance fills in gaps not covered by employer-provided group long-term disability plans, which typically only provide 40-60% of your income. Contact a Principal Life representative to discuss individual disability income insurance options.
Money Manager Card - Online Presentation - Employees
The document summarizes a Money Manager Card, which is a debit card that provides free access to ATMs, purchases, customer service, and bank teller withdrawals. It offers direct deposit of paychecks, bill pay services, mobile alerts, and companion cards. Key benefits over check cashing include free transactions and deposits without fees. The card can be used to get cash, make purchases, pay bills online or over the phone, and check balances without fees. It also provides security features like purchase protection and zero liability for lost or stolen cards.
FTC Sends Warning Letters to Major Advertisers Re Disclosure
The FTC sent warning letters to over 60 advertisers for failing to adequately disclose material information in their television and print ads. The FTC will now monitor these advertisers and the industry overall to ensure compliance with disclosure requirements. Advertisers are advised to review their ads to make sure any material terms or conditions are clear and conspicuous to consumers. The letters provided tailored feedback to individual advertisers but were not made public. Advertisers should ensure disclosures are in close proximity to related claims, are prominent through easy to read font and sufficient screen time, and are presented understandably rather than through hard to read block text legal jargon.
How to Create Binding Terms/Rules
A new appellate court decision found that merely providing a hyperlink to terms of use near a submit button is insufficient to create binding terms. Companies must provide additional notice or prompt users to take an affirmative action to agree. The document discusses how this applies to terms of use, mobile apps, promotions, and any time binding terms are needed. It provides examples of what agreement language and placement should look like, such as a checkbox to agree or a statement directly above the submit button showing agreement to terms.

E-books, e-texts and e-platforms: a wicked problem for school libraries
E-books, e-texts and e-platforms: a wicked problem for school librariesAustralian School Library Association
ASLA XXIII Biennial Conference - Dr Jill Abell - Print books are bouncing back with the new bookshop experiences whilst school libraries are using a host of diverse e-commerce models, e-platforms and devices in their efforts to offer digital texts to support new curriculum. The common goal is to adopt e-books to encourage reading, or create e-texts as a replacement for costly and heavy printed texts, to secure backlisted fiction, and to maintain curriculum-focussed non-fiction and multiple copies with manageable digital rights and licensing for class use. In this workshop, participants will examine the “wicked problems” and change focus to find solutions. Understanding E-books: A Guide to Current Challenges and Future Possibilities...

Books without-boundaries
This document discusses the potential benefits and issues of multi-platform publishing of course materials. It suggests that electronic books (e-books) offer opportunities for increased interactivity, engagement through comments and revision notes, accessibility across different formats and devices, lower production costs, and greater convenience. However, e-books also need to be made accessible on the devices students prefer, such as mobile phones and tablets, and issues around copyright and licensing would need to be addressed if content is distributed outside of an institution. Wikibooks are proposed as one way to easily create customized, copyright-cleared e-books by combining relevant Wikipedia articles.
Business content publishing Trends and new tendencies
This document summarizes Marcelino Elosua's presentation on trends and new tendencies in management content publication. The presentation covers topics including written communication, the arrival of digital formats, matching messages to audiences and platforms, and new author-publisher relationships. It notes that digital content is becoming more audiovisual and interactive, and will increasingly be read through specialized digital libraries. The document also discusses how the subscription model benefits both publishers and readers, and predicts market share shifts towards digital libraries.

The benefits of using an e-reader go far beyond mere convenience of not having to carry bulky volumes. An e-ink device like the Kindle, a tablet or even just a smartphone, all of these are making a huge difference to many struggling readers. They do it by allowing customisation of the way text is displayed, making it possible to listen while reading or even instead of reading, and not least importantly how much is in front of the reader's eyes at any one moment.
This session will provide a survey of the latest hardware, software as well as the best sources of accessible documents. We will cover the pros and cons of different types of screens, best reading software for the iPad and Android tablets, and best ways of getting your e-books from anywhere onto your device. Finally, we will address ways of making the most out of an e-reading device in the school environment.
Parts of this session were developed for the Load2Learn project and parts during the iLearnRW project.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.
