Manipulation
The document discusses manipulating photographs for use in a magazine. It describes editing images by flipping them, cropping out backgrounds, removing red eye and marks, adjusting lighting and colors, and adding black and white effects. The goal of manipulating the images was to make the subjects stand out equally, fit layouts, and add variety to the magazine spreads. Final manipulated images were used for the cover, contents page, and double page spreads.
Storyboard
We created a storyboard as a group to organize and plan the shots for our trailer. Nia sketched each individual shot as we generated ideas as a group. The storyboard allowed us to plan our trailer by sketching each shot we intended to capture.
Question 1
The media product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real music magazines. It uses conventions like featuring the main artist prominently on the cover and contents page to attract readers. It develops conventions by adding color and additional side stories. It challenges conventions by using a band instead of a single artist, using unusual destructive imagery rather than typical promotional photos, and constructing images to represent themes like a generation of rock being disregarded in society.
Making bees
We used a design to create bees in a step-by-step process. The document outlines how to make bees but provides no details on the actual design, materials, or steps involved. In just 3 sentences, the summary captures the key information that a design was used and bees were made through a sequential multi-step approach, while acknowledging key information is missing from the original document.
Man recreates places from his dreams using only a few cheap materials
A photographer named Vatsal Kataria recreates places from his dreams in miniature form using basic materials like polystyrene sheets, plaster, and cardboard. He does this because he finds dreams inspiring and wants to bring those fantasy worlds to life. Recreating the dreamscapes is challenging because he has to rely only on his memory after waking. Through his photos, Vatsal shares these dream locations with others and aims to keep the materials affordable so others can try recreating dreams too.
Visions
The document discusses different meanings of the word "vision", including sight, imagination, and religious experiences. It then states that a workshop will observe the city of Lleida, Spain from different visions and points of view using photos modified with the software programs Cartoonist and GIMP. Attendees will find photos of Lleida, install Cartoonist, learn how to modify photos with both it and GIMP, and apply various modifications to the images.
For q 6
The document discusses how the author used various technology tools to create a double page spread for a pop music genre project. They used WordArt in Publisher to create a masthead, added shapes and images in Publisher, edited photos using PicMonkey by adding spray tans and changing eye colors, found fonts related to pop music on Fontspace, and used Fontspace to customize fonts for headlines and pull quotes.

Wekerle CIHR Team - Child Maltreatment and Adolescent Problem Drinking Among ...
This document summarizes two studies on the relationship between child maltreatment and adolescent problem drinking among youth involved with child welfare services. The first study found that emotion symptoms like anxiety and anger partially or fully mediated the relationship between childhood sexual abuse and later problem drinking in a sex-specific manner. The second study found that PTSD symptoms and drinking to cope motives sequentially mediated the relationship between childhood maltreatment and later problem drinking, suggesting maltreatment leads to PTSD which leads to drinking to cope and then problem drinking. The studies imply targeted interventions should address negative affect, PTSD, and high-risk drinking motives to prevent problem drinking among maltreated youth.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-und-domino-lizenzkostenreduzierung-in-der-welt-von-dlau/
DLAU und die Lizenzen nach dem CCB- und CCX-Modell sind für viele in der HCL-Community seit letztem Jahr ein heißes Thema. Als Notes- oder Domino-Kunde haben Sie vielleicht mit unerwartet hohen Benutzerzahlen und Lizenzgebühren zu kämpfen. Sie fragen sich vielleicht, wie diese neue Art der Lizenzierung funktioniert und welchen Nutzen sie Ihnen bringt. Vor allem wollen Sie sicherlich Ihr Budget einhalten und Kosten sparen, wo immer möglich. Das verstehen wir und wir möchten Ihnen dabei helfen!
Wir erklären Ihnen, wie Sie häufige Konfigurationsprobleme lösen können, die dazu führen können, dass mehr Benutzer gezählt werden als nötig, und wie Sie überflüssige oder ungenutzte Konten identifizieren und entfernen können, um Geld zu sparen. Es gibt auch einige Ansätze, die zu unnötigen Ausgaben führen können, z. B. wenn ein Personendokument anstelle eines Mail-Ins für geteilte Mailboxen verwendet wird. Wir zeigen Ihnen solche Fälle und deren Lösungen. Und natürlich erklären wir Ihnen das neue Lizenzmodell.
Nehmen Sie an diesem Webinar teil, bei dem HCL-Ambassador Marc Thomas und Gastredner Franz Walder Ihnen diese neue Welt näherbringen. Es vermittelt Ihnen die Tools und das Know-how, um den Überblick zu bewahren. Sie werden in der Lage sein, Ihre Kosten durch eine optimierte Domino-Konfiguration zu reduzieren und auch in Zukunft gering zu halten.
Diese Themen werden behandelt
- Reduzierung der Lizenzkosten durch Auffinden und Beheben von Fehlkonfigurationen und überflüssigen Konten
