Indigenous Podcast – “Voicing the Silenced”
AUDIO
During the time of research on this project, I was overwhelmed with sadness finding out all these horrific tragedies happened to such young and bright aboriginal teens. I looked at a couple cases and say that about 1 case every 7 seems to get solved, the rest are either just thrown out or no evidence was found about the crime. It seems to me some RCMP members overlook these horrid cases a little. However, there are still great people in the world that are working everyday to make these young woman feel safer in their life, which they should feel. This project was an eye opener for me and I hope one day I can too do my part in making the community for aboriginal teens and women feel safer.

Advertising Target Markets
In the 2010 commercial by Ikea, “Start Something new” it is a catchy commercial that clicks in with your emotions. This commercial has an advertising technique called plain folk, this shows that any random old man or a regular person can try something new and live their life to the fullest without being rich or an athlete. Another advertising technique that Ikea used is emotional appeal, showing the pure joy this man had while traveling the world and finding beautiful things. It also shows how a grumpy man who lives the same life everyday can change and find pure happiness. With all the connections he made with people around the world and the adventures that he went on, he became a more happy person. When the man came back home, he showed off his new adventures to his friends that were still doing the same thing they were doing before he left. The target audience seems to be for the average person, Ikea didn’t focus much on them, but focused that life is too short to sit around, that life should be lived.

Short Story to Interned Based Article – “Evil Monkey Robot”
Human, Chimp, or Robot?
Cole Mcdonell
A monkey named Sly at the Oxiland Research Lab has been creating a large amount of unusual problems recently. After pressure from media, the scientists at Oxiland Research Lab released information that the monkey is one of the first cybernetic organismic monkey mixes. Due to Sly being the first of his type, scientists can’t fully understand the way he acts causing commotions between the monkey and humans, as well other chimps.
Chimp Parallels Human’s Intelligence
The average human intelligence is around 85-115, a study shown by many respected researchers all agree on these results. Chimps are known for being smart but not capable of processing thoughts and actions as well as humans, except Sly, the electronic chip installed in his brain provides him with advanced thinking and feelings sharper than the average person.
The only time a monkey like this has been seen was in a chimp named Natasha, she naturally had a smarter mind and scientists crowned her as the smartest chimp in the world. Natasha had an apparent intelligence is 90, the highest seen by a great ape until now.
There is no released information that explains if Sly was smarter than the average chimp before the scientists worked on him, but with the implant of the chip, Sly has tested to have the IQ of 152, ranking as a genius amongst humans.
Worlds Smartest Chimp is Blood Hungry
Sly the chimp is far beyond the average intelligence of a monkey, way beyond the average human even. Having the electronic chip installed in his brain affect how he acts out very extra. Since the scientists tried to boost the brainstem and cerebrum of the chimp, everything in his head is amplified, including emotions.
Researchers have been studying how his emotions very closely and are shocked at the results. When Sly is sad he completely changes his whole personality and day around that mood, when Sly was at his saddest he didn’t eat for 4 days and tried hitting his head on walls and bars, almost as if he was trying to self harm.
When Sly is happy its very easy to tell too, he smiles non stop until his mood changes, his personality is very loving when he’s happy, doing things like trying to share food with the researches and obsessing over things given to him, trying to show his appreciation for it.
When the chimp is mad, things start going downhill fast. Sly is not able to control his emotions well and his head is full of hormones that boost his anger. Sly the chimp is in almost a frenzie when he’s mad. Scientists at the lab leave his eyesight and wait for him to calm down which reportedly takes around 40 minutes.
Sly does many things while angry, including:
-destroying beloved items
-hitting head against walls (acts of self harm)
-shouting, almost screaming
-on a lighter sided note, he also throws his own poop as a way of taking out anger.
Sly is a fascination of a chimp and a lead experiment in todays science scene. With all the anger and problems with Sly, he is a smart, loving chimp that is going to help scientists rocket in their learnings cybernetic orgasmic research.
Part 2
For this project, I turned the short story “Evil Monkey Robot” into a online article. At some times this was a challenging task to do, the short story we read was brief and wasn’t too in detail, leaving me to create a bigger and more detailed story.
I made sure to remind my readers that Sly “the chimp in the story” isn’t just a robot lab rat, and that he is a confused and scared chimp struggling with his emotions. Online articles mainly consist of the same things which I had o work with and tweak my article to fit, they need catchy headlines, short paragraphs that get strait to the point, and easily finable subjects of the story. Sounds easy enough right? Its hard to convert a very short worded and brief story into all that, so I caught myself using my imagination to complete most of this, with the base idea being the short story, then the rest being more detailed and interesting than the original plot.
This project really made me use my creative writing skills and i really enjoyed having to think of what would work well in m article.
Practice Film Review – “Short Fuse”
A Short Fuse For A Saved Man
Cole McDonell
Although the short, “Short Fuse” written by Rafanan Michael Robert UY has very little words, this tale tells a story of hope, despair, friendship, and forgiveness all shown in 7 minutes and 9 seconds of run time.
For the beautiful looks and greatly done animation in the short film, it dreadly lacks in music, the music seems to go off at random times and sounds like what is played in a 70s disco party.
The animation starts on an abandoned earth in 2160, with garbage and a handful of scavengers left to make up the once populated planet.
The story follows a young man scavenger who finds a “clean bot” while looking through the dumps, he brings the clean bot back to his home and gets it booted up, once the bot is turned on it marks the scavenger as “trash” and attempts to throw the man away, its just almost two minutes of dry laughs that would only entertain people watching under the age of 7.
The boy gives up and tries to take the bot back to the dump, when a toxic storm comes, they are almost left for dead, the robot might not be use less after all.

As time progressed so did headphones, With the new technology being the Walkman made by Sony. this was the king of portable music players for around 10 years until the first iPod was released. Headphones didn’t have many major changes until 2004 when the first blue tooth headphones were made. The technology took many years to prepare and by the time it was released it was still very buggy. Bluetooth was a big success and from then on everyone wanted Bluetooth headphones, as more people were on the look for them, the technology behind the Bluetooth got a lot better. One of the biggest headphone successes ever were apples own Airpods in 2016. This set the bar for wireless headphones coming with a sleek design and a portable charging case for the headphones. Headphones have come a very long way with their history being over 100 years old, they went from a tool only used by the military to everyday uses and amazing features like real time language translation in the google buds. We take for granted how much music and headphones affect our lives and how big of an impact they make on people all over the world.
