The content that was created by the students was displayed on the HD TV display case and the walls of the school's hallways. And finally, the ability to create with the tools right in the palm of their hands. “The primary successes I can think of include hands-on exposure to tools of the trade, in this case video production, improved awareness of media's ability to influence society and in their role as literate and critical citizens who are more and more consumed by technology. The goal is to create a periodic newscast and incorporate a social good component that builds on the literacy and technical skills students gained in the fall. A school youtube channel and platform will be more closely integrated into the project based learning activities we do as a way for students to communicate with the greater VC community about important events and activities. The spring semester will be focused on advanced workshops, introduction to video editing and the various careers in the world of media. History of Media in the 20th & 21st centuriesīasic Camera Operation (DSLR, iPad/iPhone Video)īasic Framing Basic Sound Recording and Interview Techniques Social Media (youtube, snapchat, facebook live) As the semester advances, students will be able to attain up to Level 3 certificates in each “department.” The goal is to expose them to the rigor of certification and licensing. After completing workshops in producing, camera operation, and sound recording each student will receive Level 1 certificates. The fall semester is focused on assessing their general literacy and media consumption, and providing filmmaking 101 workshops in rotating groups. But even though we will not be able to create VR content, we can certainly explore careers and the creative potential of the medium. Integration of VR and augmented reality will be an essential component of exposure to this new medium. Discussed will be important themes relevant to their career and postsecondary education lives, as well as a review of history and media theory leading up to the present day. Using a combination of professional and amateur equipment students will be able to choose from a variety of mediums and roles to analyze, discuss, and produce content. The class will study various forms of media and will demonstrate their understanding of each unit through the development and completion of group and individual projects. Project Goal(s): Improving the media literacy of graduating 12th graders and exposing them through project-based learning to the creative and technical aspects of content creation.

An accurate ETA helps the customer know whether what you're offering is a good fit for their lifestyle. ETAs give the customer the ability to plan their actions around your service rather than leaving them feeling like they're wasting time with unknowns. In the MTA's situation, the countdown clocks help commuters know whether or not they can expect to get somewhere on time, and gives them the information they need to make any adjustments necessary to their schedule if not. However, a customer without an ETA may decide to eat somewhere else after waiting too long for a seat, meaning that restaurant hasn't just lost a customer, but earned some bad will. When a restaurant gives a customer a wait-time for a seat or ETA for delivery, the customer accepting it means that restaurant is already most of the way towards another sale. Giving your customer an ETA, also gives them the choice to reaffirm their interest in your service. It gives them the information they need in order to continue their transaction with your company with confidence. Providing customers with an ETA shows that you respect their time and agency. The negative effects of waiting times when it comes to food experiences is known to impact not only consumer service satisfaction but also customer loyalty. However, if you tell them at time-of-order to expect a 40-minute wait, then you're essentially giving your cooks and delivery people 10 minutes of extra leeway to do their jobs. In the example of food delivery, without an ETA, a customer may get mad if their food doesn't arrive within a self-determined half-hour of them ordering it. By giving them an ETA rather than letting them come up with their own, you can exert an element of control over their reactions. Meanwhile, your customer would largely base their expectations on what they want, which may or may not be reasonable. The main reason for this, typically, is because you should have the information required to make an accurate assessment. It many cases, it can also serve as a first impression: if you can't ensure timeliness, how could you ensure other aspects of quality?įurthermore, it's always beneficial to set expectations for your customers rather than let them set their own for you. It's a promise you make to your customer that reflects the overall reliability of your company to meet a self-set standard of quality. From online loading bars to package and food-delivery trackers, customers have grown to expect that if they're going to be asked to wait, the service they're waiting on could at least tell them how long.Īs in any other instance where you would provide someone with an ETA, the primary purpose is to set expectations, and give them confidence in your ability to meet them. The MTA's countdown clocks are just one of many examples of companies and organizations using ETA's to manage customers' expectations and anxieties during periods of mandatory waiting. While the MTA still faces massive infrastructure issues resulting in overcrowded trains and delays so frequent as to become the expectation rather than the rule, the countdown clocks have provided a measure of relief for millions of commuters.Įlectronic arrival-time clocks, a convenience long enjoyed by users of mass transit in London, Paris and Washington, started to trickle into New York City’s labyrinthine transportation network only in 2010. With almost 300 stations only receiving coverage in the final year of installation, New York finally joined Chicago, Washington DC, London, Paris, Tokyo, Berlin, and many other cities in letting its subway riders know when the trains are coming. That changed in 2018, when the MTA completed its 11-year mission to install countdown clocks in each of their 472 subway stations. The MTA's estimate that trains run every 5 to 12 minutes couldn't be corroborated by a single resident of the city, and even if it were miraculously proven true on a stopwatch, it didn't feel true to any single soul waiting down there for their next ride. For almost a century, seeing the lights of an upcoming car illuminate the pitch-black tunnels was the only way to know when a train was pulling into your station down in the New York Subway. Looking down the tunnel won't make a train arrive any faster, yet thousands of New Yorkers insist on craning their neck over the platform edge anyway. Setting your customers' expectations is almost always better than relying on their blind patience. So it’s vital to exploit traps to hinder an enemy’s movement or reduce its health, especially when you’re tracking a Machine’s path.
Zello has not reported these account and channels to law enforcement. But other channels with nearly identical names and ISIS imagery have since popped up in their place. Moore says Zello did shut down two of the channels MEMRI flagged after that first report, including one called Vilayat Kavkaz-the name of a branch of ISIS-which had already been flagged 10 times. But WIRED independently searched Zello for accounts and channels with overt terrorist language and imagery, and found results similar to those MEMRI reported. The group has been accused by the Council on American-Islamic Relations of being selectively biased against Islam, and mis-translating Arabic content to bolster its point of view. MEMRI was founded in 1998, and has researched cyber jihad for about a decade. That was a mistake," he says, noting that the company has since asked for MEMRI's assistance in finding problematic content in Arabic. Moore says he didn't seek MEMRI's insight back in 2016 because he wasn't familiar with the organization, and believed the report to be sensationalized. We need to do a better job," Moore says of the strategy’s shortcomings. But anyone can search for terror-related terms and find dozens of public channels in the results. Currently, the company filters words like "jihad" from appearing in the Trending Channels section, which surfaces the most popular channels. Those employees shut down accounts that are flagged by other users, and no one at Zello speaks Arabic. Moore says that among Zello's 25 employees, only “a couple” of part-time staffers are responsible for moderating accounts and channels. "If someone is posting an ISIS avatar or the account is called Islamic State, that should have been picked up right away," Stalinsky says. But MEMRI's Stalinsky says Zello's inaction even in the face of clearly presented evidence is cause for concern. The swarms of terrorist activity on Telegram are by now well documented. That hardly makes it unique among encrypted messaging apps. The company relies entirely on users to flag problems, an action that doesn't always guarantee results. Even as larger tech companies like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter have faced years of congressional interrogation and public pressure over how they filter similar content, Zello has dedicated limited resources to this type of moderation. The list wasn't comprehensive, and didn't reference any specifically troubling conversations it was just a snapshot of accounts and channels MEMRI found easily at the time.ĭespite these signals, the Austin-based company has apparently taken a largely passive stance toward policing terrorist-affiliated public channels and accounts. While MEMRI hadn't collected actual messages, its findings included screenshots of Zello users whose avatars featured photos of ISIS’s iconic black flags, and public channels with names like “Islamic State Channel.” One channel called simply “Jihad.” described itself this way: “For the Brothers who desire to be with Mujahideen & to talk about Jihad and Islam.” Some of the channels had been advertised by ISIS sympathizers on another encrypted app, Telegram. Hours later, MEMRI deputy director Elliot Zweig sent him the report. “Can you share a copy of the report explaining ISIS uses Zello? I'm the CEO of Zello,” the message read, according to emails reviewed by WIRED and confirmed by Moore and MEMRI. Moore had learned about the findings through a Google Alert. He was seeking a copy of a report MEMRI had recently published describing how ISIS members and supporters were using Zello, which allows people to send voice messages to each other in private and also public channels. In the early morning of September 9, 2016, Bill Moore, CEO of the Austin-based walkie-talkie app company Zello, contacted the Middle East Media Research Institute. The Cronen Cheetah Grip, like the rest of our attachments, increases the ADS and Sprint-To-Fire speeds. The sacrifice is well worth it as you don’t fully utilize your entire magazine before reloading, so it’s not a big step down. The 5-Round Mag decreases your magazine capacity from 10 to 5 but also gives an increase to ADS speed and Sprint-To-Fire speed. The FSS OLE-V Laser increases your ADS speed, allowing you to quickly ADS around corners and therefore helping you quick-scope your opponent. However, since the attachment is quite heavy, we add other attachments to speed up the gun as much as possible. This will help you deal far more damage than you dealt initially. However, we’ve discovered that it drastically increases the bullet velocity and range of your gun. The Nilsound 90, due to a bug, doesn’t list any benefits or drawbacks in the weaponsmith menu. The best attachments for the MCPR-300 are as follows: Therefore, it’s best to hold a sightline and finish off any oncoming enemies. Since it’s a starter weapon, you can start leveling it up quite early and create a weapon that fits your playstyle and helps you dominate the playing field however, since it’s a heavy weapon, its bulk prevents you from being very aggressive, and rounding corners for shots. With the right attachments, it’s capable of dropping dozens of players from across the map. Thankfully, it’s an absolute long-range beast.

I wonder if that would make level creation more sparse as level creation would be a bit more complex? It would make it more authentic, but much more complicated to make, if each theme had its own physics. I'm not 100% sure whether I want it one way or another. There are still the issues with the powerups missing from one theme to the next, so switching from NSB with a required helicopter hat meant switching themes made an unfinishable level. In terms of the same physics engine aspect, I think that might have had more to do with being able to seamlessly swap themes while making a level since jumps in one theme would work the same as jumps in another theme. I think the "slowly unlock" aspect was weird - I hope they ditch that too. And in the event you happen to not want screen wrap for your particular vertical level, you could simply wall it off as we saw in the trailer. Screen wrapping would certainly open up some interesting design possibilities. This got me wondering: if the maker doesn’t put walls on a single screen width vertical segment, might screen wrap work in such segments (either in all styles, or just SMB3)? Both these segments are also a single screen width, and while they are both in SMW style, they both featured walls on the left and right side of the screen. Now in the SMM2 trailer, we see two examples of vertical scrolling, one with the little Tornado guys, and later an auto scrolling segment with para-buzzies. Here’s a clip of 5-2, where you can seen the screen wrap at work at 0:55. This was demonstrated in 7-1 and also in 5-2. To explain, if the player moved all the the way to the left side of the screen, they’d appear on the right, and vice versa. 3, such vertical segments of a single screen width featured screen wrapping. Should you favor having more than one display at a time, don't have a lot of cash to spare on more expensive monitors, and aren't too fussed about the benefits of curved panels, then flat displays will remain a great option.I was thinking about the potential of vertical levels, and I recalled that in Super Mario Bros. In other words, curved monitors take you into "ultrawide" territory.ĭo you often game, have a large budget, and will remain in a single spot? Go curved. It's also worth noting that you'll be moving to a 21:9 ratio as opposed to the standard 16:9 on flat panels. Should you be someone who only does work on the PC and never fires up a game, a flat panel may prove more useful, coupled with a high resolution for improved productivity. With a curved panel, you're going to want to hit at least 30-inches as anything smaller may make benefits harder to spot. First off, while they're more affordable than earlier releases, the latest curved models can still set you back around $1,000. However, for everyone else, it depends on a few factors. Now that we've gone over the positives and drawbacks of curved displays, the question remains: should you buy one? It's not an easy one to answer because you may be someone who believes curved displays to be utterly pointless and so the answer would be a resounding no. There's also the case that you may not see the curvature of the panel to be positive, in which a flat screen will be the better choice. This also means you need to be in the right position to get the most out of a curved display. It'll prove vastly more annoying than on a flat panel. While it's true that curved displays do show fewer reflections, if you somehow manage to position the panel in such a way that light is directed onto it, you'll notice immediately. We noted better protection against glare and reflections, but it can also be viewed as a negative. A flat monitor may prove to be mount-friendly when it comes to walls and stands. It can make someone want to bend the sides, so they sit flush with the wall. Since the monitor is not flat and the wall is, the end result can appear strange to the eye when not viewing what's being displayed on-screen. A somewhat subjective take on curved displays is how they look when mounted to a wall. When a customer uses credit cards or debit cards, the merchant is assured of getting his money immediately after the transaction is approved. So, even if we were to keep RBI regulations aside for a moment, common sense says that having a POS machine is in the best interest of the merchant. Technically, merchants can accept cheques, but they hardly do, because of the fear of these cheques being dishonoured. When a shop let’s their customers pay using cards, it sells more than what it would have with only cash purchases. In this scenario, it works to a merchant’s advantage to have a POS machine installed. Nowadays, with the proliferation of POS machines and ATMs, people do not generally carry a large amount of cash when they go shopping. Why Merchant Is Not Liable To Ask For Credit Card Swiping Charges?
Whereas Drupal’s built-from-scratch approach permits for more noteworthy flexibility, Joomla’s built-in core content sorts allow for quicker and simpler execution. Of the six web hosts on this page, HostGator, GreenGeeks, and Hostinger offer shared Drupal hosting, while Bluehost and InMotion offer VPS Drupal hosting.

It later developed into dedicated web hosting and cheap web hosting, the technology just got better and PHP and ASP hosting services dawned on the web. In the beginning there was just a simple concept, web hosting. In this approach, an organization will own everything: the servers, storage, networking, virtualization technology, configuration and management, monitoring, support you get the picture. VPS hosting is technically still a shared server, but with more resources set aside specifically for your site. Drupal hosting is a new concept in the internet world and has amazed all the human minds. Drupal sites can be hosted in an on-premise data center or private cloud.It’s the best option if you’re running a smaller website or looking to stay on a budget. Shared hosting is when you share a server and its resources with other websites.One added responsibility that comes with a CMS is that you’ll have to host the website yourself – but if you choose a quality hosting provider that works well with Drupal, this doesn’t have to be a source of stress! What Types of Hosting is Drupal For?ĭrupal works well with both shared and VPS hosting.
