Media evaluation question 3
The document discusses feedback received from the audience for a music video project. It describes collecting feedback through various methods, including emails, online surveys, social media, and interviews to get diverse perspectives. Research found that while the song "Eye of the Tiger" was from the 1980s, it still has fans aged 15-30 due to its popularity. Feedback on poster designs found that the alternative poster was more relevant to the genre and video. An online survey tool captured wider feedback on digital packaging, primarily seeking opinions from youth of the 1980s on accurately capturing that era's culture. Input from a family friend in the music industry from that time was also valuable.
Sparta and Athens by group 3
Athens was an ancient Greek city-state that dominated the Attica region and was one of the oldest cities in the world, with a recorded history spanning 3,400 years. It emerged as a powerful city-state and a center for arts, learning, and philosophy, being the birthplace of Western civilization and democracy. In modern times, Athens is a large cosmopolitan metropolis and an important center for economic, financial, industrial, maritime, political and cultural life in Greece. Sparta was also a prominent city-state in ancient Greece, situated on the banks of the Eurotas River in Laconia. It emerged as a political entity around the 10th century BC and rose to become the dominant military land-

1. The document discusses various shots from a student's music video project set in the 1980s that was meant to resemble power ballads popular at that time. It analyzes several shots that show a boxer training to build narrative and reference genres of the era. Shots include a pre-match conference and examples of camera techniques like pulling focus.
2. Lighting effects using mist and beams were achieved through rented film equipment to further immerse the viewer in 1980s aesthetics. Mise-en-scene elements in training scenes like weights and posters establish the setting.

This document describes a software that converts PNG and GIF image files to JPEG format. It discusses the hardware and software requirements needed to run the program. The problem was that PNG and GIF files are large in size and slow to upload, while JPEG files are smaller and faster to upload. The software provides a solution by allowing users to convert images to the JPEG format in order to reduce file size and upload time while maintaining image quality. Screenshots demonstrate the user interface and conversion process. Advantages include portability, platform independence, reduced file size and faster conversion time. Limitations are that it only runs on Java and uses older Swing components.

The combination of the band's main product (their album) and ancillary texts (music video and promotional materials) is effective in representing the band and connecting various media. The typography, imagery, theme, and representation of the artist are consistent across formats. This consistency creates links between the album, music video, and promotional materials that will help audiences recognize the band and their "under dog" narrative, potentially boosting sales and promotion.

Perspectives on Tornado Recovery in a Small Town: The Wadena Experience
Perspectives on Tornado Recovery in a Small Town: The Wadena ExperienceCommunity Development Society
The document summarizes research on the recovery of the small town of Wadena, Minnesota following an EF4 tornado in 2010. It finds that Wadena was able to successfully leverage its various community capitals (e.g. social, human, financial, cultural) in both the response and long-term recovery process. Strong leadership mobilized volunteers and resources. Shared cultural values of self-help and cooperation helped drive recovery. The experience suggests that communities with engaged leadership and social cohesion may be better positioned to recover from disasters.Emergency Management Research Paper
This document discusses emergency management and responding to natural disasters. It covers three main topics: 1) the types of disasters including natural, accidental human-made, and deliberate human-made, 2) the psychological effects disasters can have on survivors and first responders, and 3) the differences between each type of disaster. Recommendations are made for improving emergency management strategies.
EPIP Webinar - Center for Disaster Philanthropy
Join the Center for Disaster Philanthropy (CDP), Foundation Center, and Emerging Practitioners in Philanthropy for a webinar that explores why--based on current trends and future predictions--foundations will need to improve upon how they respond to disasters to better meet the needs of vulnerable populations globally. Over the course of our webinar, we'll draw on recent research that shows the extent of disaster grantmaking, gaps in the type and nature of funding, and how a better understanding of the "disaster lifecycle" can lead to more effective grantmaking. Vulnerable populations (children, mentally ill, older adults, economically disadvantaged, and others) domestically and internationally suffer the most in times of catastrophe and the private philanthropic community has a unique role in meeting their needs. As part of our hour-long session, we also will explore philanthropic responses to the Global Refugee Crisis and discuss recently released findings from the Measuring the State of Disaster Philanthropy 2015.

1) Eddie Argenal presented on lessons learned from providing prefabricated shelters and settlements assistance following disasters like the 2010 Haiti earthquake.
2) Context is extremely important for shelter interventions, as the conditions in places like Haiti involve high poverty, unemployment, vulnerability to hazards, and limited institutional capacity.
3) Transitional shelter approaches that link relief with longer-term development are preferable to purely temporary or permanent solutions. Considerations like land issues, rubble removal, and urban density must be factored in.

Himss15 Paramedic Disaster Data
This document discusses challenges with data during disasters and provides recommendations. It summarizes key data needs during disasters for the public and responders. It describes data issues during past disasters like Hurricane Katrina where 911 call centers were crippled. Lessons learned include the inability to rapidly share data across different systems and barriers. The document recommends pre-disaster solutions like real-time communication tools and situational awareness technologies. It also provides examples of post-disaster data needs like patient tracking and medical records. Recommendations are provided to plan for interoperability, test disaster scenarios, and establish data sharing agreements.
Haiti Earthquake HADR Scenario
The document outlines a challenge to design a game about relief operations during the 2010 Haiti earthquake. It provides background on the actual humanitarian response, noting the involvement of international organizations, NGOs, and foreign militaries. Key considerations for the game design include accurately representing different actors, operational priorities, coordination challenges, and emphasizing the role of local populations in disaster response. Participants will work in teams to develop game concepts addressing relief efforts in the aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti.

Provincetown, Massachusetts Design & Resiliency Team (DART) Project
This document discusses governance and public participation in Provincetown. It notes that the traditional Town Meeting process is seen as dysfunctional, inefficient, and unpredictable. It recommends reforming the process to be more efficient, collaborative, and informed through facilitated dialogues, community visioning, and establishing a civic organization to guide reform and community projects. The goal is a process that builds common understanding and reinforces community values rather than emphasizing differences. An example from Oregon uses a community information model to engage the public on the front end of decision-making.
