Foreword Art and design education are part of a comprehensive Pre-K-12 education for all students. The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction continues its efforts to support the skill and knowledge development for our students across the state in all content areas. This guide is meant to support this work as well as foster additional reflection on the instructional framework that will most effectively support students’ learning in art and design through creative practices. This document represents a new direction for art education, identifying a more in-depth review of art and design education. The most substantial change involves the definition of art and design education as the study of visual thinking – including design, visual communications, visual culture, and fine/studio art. The guide provides local, statewide, and national examples in each of these areas to the reader. The overall framework offered suggests practice beyond traditional modes and instead promotes a more constructivist approach to learning.

Esports were already the fastest growing subsector of digital entertainment, and Covid-19 has only accelerated this trend. • The Esports audience is very valuable for advertisers because it is young, digital native and affluent. Research has found that esports fans are more likely to be influenced by their favorite team being sponsored by a brand than traditional sports fans are. • Despite the vast amount of eyeballs, Esports remain dramatically under-monetized relative to traditional sports. We believe wagering will play a major role in helping monetization in the space catch up. GAMING ASCENDANCY: MORE PEOPLE ARE PLAYING MORE There are 2.5B gamers globally (with some estimates as high as 3.5B). 2 out of 3 Americans are gamers.

  • Oscar-Winning 'Slumdog Millionaire:' a Boost for India's Global Image?
    ISAS Brief No. 98 – Date: 27 February 2009 469A Bukit Timah Road #07-01, Tower Block, Singapore 259770 Tel: 6516 6179 / 6516 4239 Fax: 6776 7505 / 6314 5447 Email: [email protected] Website: www.isas.nus.edu.sg Oscar-winning ‘Slumdog Millionaire’: A Boost for India’s Global Image? Bibek Debroy∗ Culture is difficult to define. This is more so in a large and heterogeneous country like India, where there is no common language and religion. There are sub-cultures within the country. Joseph Nye’s ‘soft power’ expression draws on a country’s cross-border cultural influences and is one enunciated with the American context in mind. Almost tautologically, soft power implies the existence of a relatively large country and the term is, therefore, now also being used for China and India. In the Indian case, most instances of practice of soft power are linked to language and literature (including Indians writing in English), music, dance, cuisine, fashion, entertainment and even sport, and there is no denying that this kind of cross-border influence has been increasing over time, with some trigger provided by the diaspora. The film and television industry’s influence is no less important. In the last few years, India has produced the largest number of feature films in the world, with 1,164 films produced in 2007. The United States came second with 453, Japan third with 407 and China fourth with 402. Ticket sales are higher for Bollywood than for Hollywood, though revenue figures are much higher for the latter. Indian film production is usually equated with Hindi-language Bollywood, often described as the largest film-producing centre in the world.

  • APPLICATION BULLETIN AAC-ELD Based Audio Communication on Ios a Developer’S Guide V2.3 - 08.08.2012
    F R A U N H O F E R I N S T I T U T E F O R I N T E G R A T E D C I R C U I T S I I S APPLICATION BULLETIN AAC-ELD based Audio Communication on iOS A Developer’s Guide V2.3 - 08.08.2012 ABSTRACT This document is a developer’s guide for accessing the AAC-ELD codec included in iOS from third party audio communication applications. It shows how developers can create their own innovative applications and services using the same high quality codec as in FaceTime. Source code examples are used to illustrate the required processing steps and Application Programming Interface calls. The complete source code is available together with this paper and comprises a working demo application, which reads audio frames from the microphone and plays them back at low delay after encoding and subsequent decoding. The discussed iOS APIs include full-duplex audio Input/Output using the Remote I/O AudioUnit and AAC-ELD encoding/decoding using the AudioConverter API. The initialization of components and underlying concepts, such as the usage of callback functions and object properties are discussed. The scope of the example application is limited for simplicity and does not cover transmission over IP or other advanced features such as error concealment or jitter buffer management. The integration of all these components into a complete Voice over Internet Protocol application is a challenging task but can be simplified through the Fraunhofer Audio Communication Engine, which is described briefly at the end of the document.

  • Argovis: a Web Application for Fast Delivery, Visualization, and Analysis of Argo Data
    MARCH 2020 T U C K E R E T A L . 401 Argovis: A Web Application for Fast Delivery, Visualization, and Analysis of Argo Data TYLER TUCKER Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, Colorado, and Department of Mathematics and Statistics, San Diego State University, San Diego, and Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, California DONATA GIGLIO Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, Colorado MEGAN SCANDERBEG Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, California SAMUEL S. P. SHEN Department of Mathematics and Statistics, San Diego State University, San Diego, California (Manuscript received 18 March 2019, in final form 3 January 2020) ABSTRACT Since the mid-2000s, the Argo oceanographic observational network has provided near-real-time four- dimensional data for the global ocean for the first time in history. Internet (i.e., the ‘‘web’’) applications that handle the more than two million Argo profiles of ocean temperature, salinity, and pressure are an active area of development. This paper introduces a new and efficient interactive Argo data visualization and delivery web application named Argovis that is built on a classic three-tier design consisting of a front end, back end, and database. Together these components allow users to navigate 4D data on a world map of Argo floats, with the option to select a custom region, depth range, and time period. Argovis’s back end sends data to users in a simple format, and the front end quickly renders web-quality figures.

  • A Study of Musical Affect in Howard Shore's Soundtrack to Lord of the Rings
    PROJECTING TOLKIEN'S MUSICAL WORLDS: A STUDY OF MUSICAL AFFECT IN HOWARD SHORE'S SOUNDTRACK TO LORD OF THE RINGS Matthew David Young A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC IN MUSIC THEORY May 2007 Committee: Per F. Broman, Advisor Nora A. Engebretsen © 2007 Matthew David Young All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Per F. Broman, Advisor In their book Ten Little Title Tunes: Towards a Musicology of the Mass Media, Philip Tagg and Bob Clarida build on Tagg’s previous efforts to define the musical affect of popular music. By breaking down a musical example into minimal units of musical meaning (called musemes), and comparing those units to other musical examples possessing sociomusical connotations, Tagg demonstrated a transfer of musical affect from the music possessing sociomusical connotations to the object of analysis. While Tagg’s studies have focused mostly on television music, this document expands his techniques in an attempt to analyze the musical affect of Howard Shore’s score to Peter Jackson’s film adaptation of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. This thesis studies the ability of Shore’s film score not only to accompany the events occurring on-screen, but also to provide the audience with cultural and emotional information pertinent to character and story development. After a brief discussion of J.R.R. Tolkien’s description of the cultures, poetry, and music traits of the inhabitants found in Middle-earth, this document dissects the thematic material of Shore’s film score.
