A digipak is better than a jewel case for music packaging because it allows for more graphic content, information surfaces, and collectability. It can hold CDs, posters, and booklets while being more environmentally friendly as it is biodegradable and recyclable unlike jewel cases. Examples provided are a Brit Awards 2012 digipak celebrating British music across 3 CDs and a booklet and a Nine Inch Nails digipak using orange tones across 2 folds holding 2 CDs and a booklet. In contrast, a Nirvana jewel case uses a water theme in blue tones to hold 1 CD and booklet but is made of non-recyclable plastic.
The document provides instructions for students on how to access and navigate their online English course, explaining how to join the class, access various course elements like the content, calendar, and announcements, and detailing how to complete workbook activities and check progress. Students are advised to click on specific options and provided tips on common issues and how to get help if needed.

Patricia Smith is an American poet, teacher, performance artist and author born in 1955. She has published several poetry collections including Teahouse of the Almighty and Close to Death. A selection of her poetry was produced as a one-woman play by a Nobel Prize winner. Her collection Life According to Motown was staged favorably in theaters. In 2006, she was inducted into the International Literary Hall of Fame for Writers of African Descent at Chicago State University. Several of her poems are quoted focusing on themes of remembrance, struggle and survival. The document provides background on Patricia Smith and excerpts from her poetry.
This document outlines the planning for a production called "Spring Fling" and includes sections for storyboarding, a production checklist, shot lists, and three camera plans.
The document contains a questionnaire with multiple choice questions about basic facts like the Earth being a planet that orbits the sun, and examples like throwing away old shoes. It asks the reader to select the correct response for each question, and provides feedback on whether the answer chosen is right or wrong before continuing to the next question.
Opening film sequences typically include the production and distribution company logos. These logos may sometimes be creatively edited to relate to the film's storyline. Opening credits then list the most important people involved in the film's production, including directors, producers, actors, and other roles. The credits are usually displayed over a blank screen or action from the beginning of the film and can include background music or not.
The document provides instructions for accessing and using voice tools on a Cambridge LMS account. It instructs the user to access their account, go to the voice tools section, listen to instructions, record and post a message using various recording, playing, and posting icons and buttons. It also describes how to allow pop-ups and reply to classmates' messages.
Microservices: lessons from the trenchesMehdi Khalili
Microservices are awesome, when they're done right. Teams start with microservices with the best intentions and sometimes end up hurting themselves and the business in doing so. There are many gotchas and oversights that could make the experience a bit painful or in some cases a complete disaster. In this presentation I talk about some of the happy and not so happy lessons I've learnt in implementing microservices over the years.
This document introduces the "Princess Shab method" of pattern making for custom doll clothing. It describes a simplified approach to creating original patterns without complex measurements. Basic building block patterns are provided in PDF format along with video tutorials. These allow artists to design unique outfits for their dolls through draping, fitting and trial and error. The goal is to make pattern making an enjoyable creative process.
This document discusses lessons learned from implementing microservices in production environments. It outlines both the benefits of microservices, such as scalability and fault tolerance, as well as challenges, including loose coupling, greenfield development, and culture. Specific lessons include containing failures, using caching and logging for fault tolerance, building contracts to enable loose coupling, starting with a monolith then extracting services, and ensuring an automated testing and deployment culture. The key takeaway is that microservices are difficult to implement and the challenges must outweigh the benefits for an organization.
Road to a Transplant: A glimpse at the organ transplantation processamylcarey
A brief look at the organ transplantation process. Inspired by Brian Primack, a heart transplant patient with Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA. Listed with UNOS, Nov 2011.
Simulation experiences in nursing education have several advantages according to the document. Simulation allows students to learn in a safe, controlled environment where they can make mistakes without harming patients. It also provides hands-on, lifelike experiences for nursing students. Simulation meets the learning needs of diverse students by appealing to different learning styles through its auditory, visual, and tactile components. The document also notes some disadvantages, such as the initial costs of setting up simulation labs and gaining buy-in from both faculty and students.
Application Lifecycle Management with TFSMehdi Khalili
The document discusses a presentation about application lifecycle management (ALM) using Team Foundation Server 2010. It includes an overview of key ALM concepts like version control, build automation, work item tracking, and team collaboration. It also provides a quick tour of the administration console and components of the virtual environment like SQL Server, SharePoint, and Visual Studio.
The document describes the author's journey as a software developer and how they learned to release high quality software frequently through adopting test-driven development and other practices. It starts with the author developing software without tests, which led to bugs and maintenance issues. They then learned about unit testing and test-first development, which improved code quality and reduced bugs. Later, they added integration, UI, and behavior-driven tests. Adopting continuous integration and continuous delivery allowed for automated testing and frequent releases. This approach helped catch bugs, improve communication, and deliver working software more efficiently.
Automated UI Testing Done Right (QMSDNUG)Mehdi Khalili
This document discusses best practices for automated UI testing. It recommends using page object models to organize tests and break pages into smaller page components. Tests should be strongly typed using view models for pages. Following principles like DRY, SRP and YAGNI can help avoid duplication and keep tests maintainable. Tests should run frequently to catch breaks early. Overall, UI testing is challenging but doing it right by applying these practices can help maximize value and avoid wasted effort.
Live Music Streaming Opportunity ValuationMC[CO] Labs
The document discusses brand investment opportunities in the live music and streaming industry. It notes that the music industry is projected to grow 3% annually, driven by live music and streaming. Live streaming currently accounts for less than 1% of online music but consumer demand is growing. The summary also states that while large brands have invested in live streaming, it has faced challenges achieving scale due to business model issues and audience fragmentation. Finally, it suggests that integrating live streaming with live events and artist partnerships could help brands improve returns on their music investments.

Many teams try Automated UI Testing and many fail. Automated UI Testing is hard: the tests take a lot of time to write and tend to be brittle and hard to maintain. In this session I will provide you with some practical advice on how to and how not to write your tests introducing you to some UI testing ideas, patterns and frameworks that will help you write your tests faster while making them less brittle and easier to maintain.
This is an action packed session for testing enthusiasts.
