Treatments help secure funding and provide a framework to structure the documentary.

- A theme is the central idea or message about life that an author conveys through a work of fiction. It transfers from the story to the real world.
- Themes are not stated directly but must be inferred from details and events. Multiple themes may exist in a single story.
- While a plot summarizes events, a theme expresses a deeper insight about people or life that the story illustrates. A topic is the subject matter, but a theme makes a statement about that topic.

Media narration research
This document discusses how documentaries present stories and narrate events. It notes that documentaries about schools or competitions will often focus on a new story or character each episode. When telling individual stories, documentaries commonly use techniques like voiceovers, interviews, and background information to introduce characters and events. They also interweave multiple stories to give context and familiarity. Crime documentaries may reconstruct events through reenactments when real footage is unavailable. Disaster documentaries similarly piece together phone calls, eyewitness accounts and archived footage to narrate large-scale events over multiple episodes or films.

What are you measuring in your life?
As creatives we always are measuring ourselves. Measuring against other churches, against measuring against other creatives and sometimes we get stuck because we feel we don’t measure up. Our lives are shaped by how we choose to spend our time and energy each day. Measuring can help us spend that time in better ways, more consistently. But we must measure the right things. Greatness in any field comes from taking a novel idea and pushing it to its logical conclusion, redefining the medium in the process.

Preparation and organization are emphasized as keys to completing projects on a limited budget.
Filmmaking Rules
The document outlines several filmmaking rules for shooting sequences, including shooting action as it happens from different angles and distances, holding shots for 15 seconds each according to the 4-15 rule to give editors more choices, and never crossing the 180 degree line between subjects during dialogue to maintain clarity for viewers.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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
