The document discusses how marketers are leveraging second screens like smartphones and tablets to engage with viewers watching television. It outlines 10 ways marketers are using the second screen, such as incentivizing ad engagement, gamifying TV ads, enabling real-time interactivity, and creating opportunities for transmedia storytelling across devices. It also provides background on new behaviors like social TV and tools like apps that sync with television content. Experts believe the second screen could improve brand recall and purchase intent when used to extend television campaigns.
The document summarizes a report from conservation groups that warns the planet is headed toward an "ecological credit crunch" as demands on natural resources exceed what the Earth can sustain by almost a third. The report shows the average decline in populations of over 1,000 species from 1970 to 2005 was 30%, and as much as 51% in tropical regions. It concludes that reckless consumption of natural resources is endangering future prosperity and that if demands continue to increase at the same rate, two planets' worth of resources would be needed by 2030s to sustain current lifestyles.

Opposite the Tour Bus by Sophia Walker SAMPLEBurning Eye
Having been advised to 'Always travel in the direction opposite the tourbus' Sophia Walker set out to get away from the big noise, big tourist attraction, tick box bucket list experiences of life and find out what was happening quietly (and sometimes not so quietly) on the other side of the street or the less visited part of town. The poems collected here tell those stories whether that is an eye opening report from a sex education workshop in an everyday British town, or something more harrowing from Irag or Africa. Sophia points out that it is not always the journey but the landing that counts, the coming back. How it is not the specific moment of an experience that tells the full story but also what comes afterwards. How those who seek to damage and harass unwittingly leave strength and resilience in their wake. These are the less-heard stories. Some are Sophia's – told first hand, some she witnessed. All are true.
A document outlines five ideas for film plots:
1) A bullied teenage girl seeks revenge on her high school tormentors.
2) A man discovers a buried body in the woods and becomes a suspect, turning to violence.
3) A man arrested for breaking and entering insists his name is real but may discover his parents gave him a different name.
4) A man camping in the woods hears screaming and a woman appears covered in blood.
5) A man seeks revenge on an ex-girlfriend who broke up with him by going to her house in the middle of the night as she calls for help.
(1) The document discusses the technologies used to create a coursework project, including an Apple Mac computer with software like Pages, iPhoto, Preview, and Safari.
(2) While the technology was initially confusing to use, taking time to learn about the computers and their capabilities through lessons and online searching helped complete the project.
(3) Other technologies discussed include the Kodak camera used to take photos, the Picasa software used to edit photos, and issues that arose from transferring files between Windows and Mac platforms. The overall conclusion is that while technology can be complex initially, understanding it allows the technology to enhance the final product.

This document discusses different types of maps and their key elements. It explains that thematic maps show specific topics like physical features, climate, political boundaries, and population characteristics. The most common elements of maps that allow them to be read are the title, legend, compass rose, and scale. The title indicates what the map shows, the legend explains symbols, the compass rose orients the four cardinal directions, and the scale allows distances on the map to be measured against real distances. Examples are given of how to use a map scale to calculate distances between locations.
The document discusses Tuckman's model of team formation, which outlines 5 stages - forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. It provides tips for leaders at each stage, including establishing clear objectives during forming, building trust and resolving conflicts in storming, allowing independence in norming, delegating tasks in performing, and celebrating achievements in adjourning. Using this model, leaders can help their team progress efficiently through the stages to become high-performing.

Complementary colours that are opposite each other on the colour wheel as well as analogous colours that are adjacent create colour harmony. Nature also provides examples of colour harmony. Understanding colour theory can help one select colours that create a pleasing visual experience.

This document discusses having difficult conversations in the workplace. It outlines that people dislike difficult conversations because they take time, involve emotions, and can cause conflict. However, having the conversations (action) is better than no action, as problems will escalate without action. The document provides a 3-step process for handling difficult conversations: 1) gain clarity on the issue by separating facts from feelings, 2) overcome the instinct to avoid the conversation, and 3) deliver the message in a direct but sensitive way using "I" statements. The goal is to have productive discussions to improve relationships and work productivity.
