Our media product uses and challenges conventions of typical thriller/horror genres in the following ways:
1. We use a clinical font for the titles rather than a red font to create a cold, precise feel for the stalker character rather than signify danger.
2. We use a pan shot to track the main character down a hallway to establish setting rather than create an eerie feeling.
3. We use ECU shots to highlight words from articles and the stalker's actions rather than show facial expressions or body language.
4. We give the audience the stalker's perspective with shots rather than use high angles to prey on victims and low angles to show power over them.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:

But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
