The document discusses the filming of shots for a teaser trailer for the low-budget British independent slasher film "Curse of the Damned". A Panasonic video camera was used to film both handheld and tripod shots. Natural lighting was used for outdoor filming in the woods, while indoor lighting was used for shots filmed inside. Some outdoor footage required adjustments in post-production to correct unintentionally bright or dark lighting and coloring. Filming outdoors presented challenges like noise pollution and onlookers.
The document discusses how to form comparatives in English using -er and more. It provides rules for adding -er or more to adjectives based on their syllable count and endings. Examples are given for adjectives that take -er versus those that take more, as well as irregular forms like good/better and bad/worse. The document concludes with practice examples applying the comparative rules.
The document discusses stimulus packages implemented by governments around the world to stimulate struggling economies during recessions. It defines a stimulus package as a program organized by governments to stimulate a floundering economy by boosting employment and spending. The document then examines stimulus packages in America and China and discusses the views of John Maynard Keynes, who believed governments should intervene in the short-run to influence aggregate demand. It notes Australia's stimulus package was successful in preventing job losses and avoided a recession, though some question the timing and strategy.
The document discusses automated construction of Bayesian networks from qualitative knowledge. It outlines challenges in generating conditional probability tables (CPTs) from expert knowledge and proposes representing common patterns like concepts, indicators, summaries, and mitigations through qualitative assessments to derive default parameter values for CPTs. Examples demonstrate how qualitative statements can be used to automatically generate a Bayesian network for chest X-ray diagnosis to model relationships between hypotheses of interest and indicating evidence with uncertainty.

- Q4 2016 transaction volume was €3.4 billion, doubling Q3 volume and increasing 26.5% over Q4 2015. Full year 2016 volume was €9.4 billion, a 16.8% increase over 2015.
