Is There a Future for Tablet-Only Periodicals? Is there a future for tablet-only publications? The last few weeks have cast an ominous shadow over this niche industry following substantial staff cuts at News Corp.'s The Daily and a decision by the Huffington Post to give up on charging for its iPad magazine after just five issues. While some media observers are quick to write off the format, many in the industry see recent woes as part of the natural growing pains of an emerging market.

A good part of the backlash stems from how inevitable tablet magazines seemed at their inception two years ago. With magazines and legacy print publications struggling, the iPad offered a flashy and interactive new way for publishers to bring new content to the tech-savvy masses without the burden of printing and distribution costs. Two years later, however, the tablet publishing market isn't the runaway success many envisioned.

Your Dashboard | Glogster. Visual Storytelling: The power of the still image in video. There are some differences of shooting still images and video. Here are some things that I have discovered in my journey. First when you shoot stills you move around the subject looking for different angles, however with video you find a spot and let the action move and capture it. The reason for the differences is with the still image you only need to capture a brief second whereas with the video you are capturing a timeline. You may start wide and zoom in during this time or just stay still and let the action move through the frame. In the same amount of time given to a still shooter and a video shooter the still shooter will end up with more variety of shots. Second difference is that with video you are capturing sound as well as the visuals.

In general you are not capturing sound with stills. Due to the necessity of good sound for video you will spend a lot of time being sure you have the right microphones and levels set so you are capturing the best quality sound. The Package.

Kiki had just let herself into my apartment and stormed into my tiny bathroom, where I was putting on my makeup. "I do not," I said, doing a quick appraisal. I was going to need more mascara. "Ben, you know you look amazing," Kiki said, watching me apply another coat. "I really don't. " "Oh my God, fuck you, you do. " A couple of days before, Kiki had broken up with her boyfriend, Edward.

The next thing you know, you're having the I-Think-We-Need-to-Talk Talk (always prefaced with those six crushingly familiar words), and he's broken up with you when you weren't sure you were even going out in the first place. Anyway, after six weeks of heavy dating, Kiki's rental unit had initiated The Talk. I heard the closet door bang open, followed by rummaging. "I look fat," she said over the music. "Yeah, you're a real cow," I hollered back. "You're a bombshell, Kiki.
