# Digital Media Concepts/DVD-Video

DVD-Video is a consumer video format developed by Sony, Panasonic, Philips, and Toshiba and was released on November 1, 1996 in Japan. The format also uses with the MPEG-2 decoder, DVD drive, or player (software or computer). This format stores video files the video files on DVD discs for entertainment and life. As of 2022, DVD-Videos are still available in retail outlets and shopping stores.

## History
### Development

Before DVD-Video was established, DVD was invented by David Paul Gregg and James Russell. Also before that, there were several formats of DVD. For this format, they developed video files by the DVD Forum, to exchange information and ideas because welcome to a new era of DVD.

### Adoption

So many DVD-Videos are now using home entertainment distributors. Along with that, they use the high quality sounds and videos for the best. Even more, DVD-Videos also do it on the video game consoles.

## Capacity

The capacity of the DVD-video format uses a 12 cm diameter of a disc and up to 8.5 GB (4 hours max. with typical bit rates). As opposed to that, there is a miniDVD, which is 8 cm diameter of a disc. But in some cases, the DVD-Video format changes their parameters, which results the decreases of a capacity. Even in DVD-Videos, the storage capacity allows with bonus features and extras (audio commentaries, interviews, deleted scenes, outtakes, and more), for example. DVD-Videos also uses more extras like playing a game, gallery seeing, and more.

## Restrictions
### DVD Regional Codes

DVD-Videos use region codes, the digital rights management technique since 1997, that a player must play only these discs that support the region code. For many DVD players, DVD-videos can be modified for played on a DVD player. For normal DVD players, they use regional coded discs from their particular region. And regional coding keeps European DVDs unplayable for North American DVDs.

## Successors and decline

As of 2017, although all the Movies and TV Shows are still on DVD-Video, they are also on streaming services with a monthly price, including streaming services overtaking DVD-Videos, plus more like Blu-Ray for the first time. Still, DVD-Videos are not obsolete. Since 2008, more than 86% of DVD-Video sales are declining because of buying digital copies of the films and streaming.
# Digital Media Concepts/Dodge Charger Daytona

The Dodge Charger Daytona was built for winning Nascar races because of the failure the Dodge 500 even though it had a big hemi engine. Dodge was still losing the Nascar races to ford Chevy and mercury, so they had to think of a design of a car that could beat what ford Chevy and the other motor companies have so they came up with the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona. With this car it dominated the track for a year and a half.

## History

The Dodge Charger Daytona was made solely for winning Nascar Dodge was losing badly to Ford at Nascar. So they had to make a car that would wipe out the competition. The 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona was born not only it won its first race but won 7 out of 10 races the rest of the year. This car dominated the track for a year and a half it was so successful Nascar banned its design after that the Dodge charger daytona was killed off.

## Design and Aerodynamics

The giant wing was made so that the tire of the Daytona could hug the ground giving it a lot of traction. More traction gave it grip on the ground so it could run at high speeds maintaining good control.Then the pointy nose made it so it could cut through the wind more easier.

## Engine

There were 2 engines available for this car that is the 426 hemi 426 cu in 97.0) and the V8 440 MAGNUM 440 CU ( 7.2L) V8

## Mechanics

One of people who worked on daytona was from Chrysler missile division named John pointer. He was a literal rocket scientist

## Races

When they were building this car, they needed it to win Nascar races. It has it aerodynamic look to, so it can go through the track easily. The giant wings the nose was all added, so it can cut through the wind and reduce drag force. The rear wing was made so it could hug the ground and not lose traction, better stability. It was the first car to turn a lap faster than 200 miles per hour. When the dodge charger Daytona was debuting the current tire technology time couldn’t handle the speed of these tires goodyear and firestone announced they couldn’t supply tires capable of running the speeds. The racers voiced their concerns and asked if the race could be postponed but it was denied. This was 1969 September 14, at the inaugural Talladega 500 race way. The race still continued as is and the Dodge charger Daytona won its first race on its debut day.

## Drivers

Buddy Baker in the # 88 he drove it going over 200 miles during a turn he won 6 races later that year

## Second Generation

The Dodge Charger Daytona got brought back in 2006 it said hemi had a cutout that said Daytona with a custom spoiler. The wheels were stock 18 inch R/T rims nothing really changed performance wise from the other dodge chargers at the time besides look.
# Digital Media Concepts/Detriments of the Internet
## Introduction

The internet is one of the broadest resources for people to find information. It offers almost complete transparency, provides a forum for discussion, allows people to voice their opinions, and helps people gain a more informed viewpoint on issues. The internet allows people to further their education, communicate with people from all around the world, and has overall improved our lifestyle. However, it still has many detriments. It permits the spread of propaganda, misinformation, and could probably shape the next modern day “Civil War”.

## Rebel Group Formation

On one hand, the wave of internet communication has greatly benefited people in repressive countries, rather than the people in power. It has become much easier for citizens to organize protests and bring forward information about corrupt leaders to the rest of the world. In addition, it has become much harder for the people in power to stop this these issues from happening. On the other hand, internet campaigns have also made it so rebel groups can become more widespread on media platforms. These “rebel entrepreneurs” can now reach people from all over the world instead of recruiting just locals. Through social media and the Internet, they can also finance their war. Groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda can now threaten a larger number of people due to their newfound resources, like money and the human capital.

### Sustainability of Rebel Groups

This “civil war” will be able to last longer because resources for rebel groups are now sustainable. They can raise funds from radicalized supporters from all over the world and develop a worldwide network of supporters.The presence of an international audience practically encourages these rebel groups and terrorist organizations to be more daring in their actions. This is because people may be more likely to support global propaganda.

## Political Influence and Propaganda
### The American Election in 2016

On September 6, 2017, Facebook revealed that fake Russian Facebook accounts bought over $100,000 in propaganda ads (about 3,000 ads), suggesting that perhaps the election was influenced by these fake media accounts. Although social media can connect people throughout the world, it also promotes the spread of misinformation. Facebook linked these accounts to a company created by the Kremlin, called the “Internet Research Agency”. This has prompted Facebook to start blocking ads from pages that share fake news.

#### Propaganda and the Effects on the Election

Even though these ads never took a clear position on a candidate, it was aimed to destroy Clinton’s reputation and stance on political issues, such as gun control, abortion laws, and LGBTQ laws. Even though 470 fake American accounts were shut down, it still exposes the fact that social media proved to be a detriment, rather than an unbiased source for untainted information.
# Digital Media Concepts/Dodge Hellcats
## Overview

The Dodge Hellcat is part of the Dodge company which is an American brand. The Dodge Hellcat is considered under the category of "American Muscle". Dodge would compete against companies like Ford, Chevy, and General Motors but when the Hellcat model was released it changed the standards for expectations for America Muscle cars. Every car enthusiast had their eyes on the Hellcat.

## History

The Hellcat was introduced in 2015. Dodge has always been about making powerful muscle cars to compete with their competition, but when they introduced the hellcat to the world it put them on a higher level than the rest of their competition. Before the Hellcat was introduced the best model that you can buy in a Charger or Challenger was a 392 Hemi, which is a 6.4 Liter naturally aspirated v8 engine that produced 485 horsepower. 1 That is already an upper hand for example on Ford, on their Mustang models their 5.0 engine produced only 412 horsepower.2 When the Hellcat was introduced it blew all of the other cars out the roof. The hellcat's lineup in the challenger and the charger hellcats came with an insane 6.2-liter supercharged v8 engine which produced 707 horsepower which is nowhere close to what any of the other Muscle cars were producing at the time. Dodge caught the world by surprise.

## Hellcat charger

The Charger Hellcat is the 4 door family sedan with an insane amount of power from the Hellcat engine. The charger hellcat comes with 2 extra doors and more space compared to the challenger version. The charger is considered the most powerful family sedan ever produced. The Charger hellcat model comes in the RWD option only.

## Hellcat Challenger

The Hellcat Challenger is the coupe version of the Hellcat model. The challenger also pushes 707 horses from the immaculate hellcat engine. The challenge was discontinued until its comeback in 2008. With the announcement of the 2015 hellcat the challenger comeback was made even more legendary with a historic engine that will be remembered in the car industry forever.3

## Jeep Trackhawk

The Jeep Trackhawk was announced in 2018. It is a powerhouse of a family SUV with a punching 707 horsepower from the notorious hellcat engine with an AWD drivetrain. The Trackhawk instantly became the leading model in the Grand Cherokee lineup. The Trackhawk is the most powerful Jeep Grand Cherokee to this day and one of the fasts production SUVs ever created.4

## Disconintuation 2023

Unfortunately, 2023 will be the last year for the production of the hellcat lineups. Moving forward into the future Dodge wants to pursue the EV game and compete with the cars of the new generation and move away from the typical gasoline engines. This will definitely be an end of an era. The Hellcat era was definitely one of a kind, even after years of having the lineup available no other competitor was able to make a model in their vehicles as powerful as the Hellcat. The notorious Hellcat will end its eight years of reign on top undefeated.5
# Artificial Consciousness/Neural Correlates/Synaptic Models

Synaptic Models
When Hebb wanted to research the nature of the Nerve, he had a problem, Ideally he wanted to explain human nerves, but that was impractical, so he made a decision to try to explain the nerves of Giant Squids instead. What this allowed him to do was to place relatively large by today's standards contacts into the nerve to discover what was happening electrically to the nerve. What he found was a tenuous connection between nerves, that indicated that there was interconnections between the nerves, that was dependent on the signal strength of the source nerve in the response strength of the receiving nerve.
In order to explain this connection, he postulated the existence of something called a "Synapse" His simple mathematical model of synapse function, made the nervous system seem less mysterious, and is the basis for much of our current understanding of how neurons function. The basic Hebb Synapse is expressed mathematically as follows:
$(I*W)$
Where I is the output value from the source neuron
and W is a Weight determined by the activity of the Synapse
Scientists have since determined that most synapses are chemical in transmission, and electrical in effect. This has been traced down to specific mechanisms in the cell membrane of the Nerve Cell. Exceptions have been found, where direct electrical connection is made across the synapse but these short circuit the synapse and are much less useful, since they can't learn by adjusting the weights, as the chemical/electric synapses can.
Of interest to any synaptic model of the future, will be the new science that is working down into the neurochemistry of the cell, to find out how and why the synapses work the way they do, and what connection there is between the synapse and the growth of neural fibrils such as dendrites and axons. The following models are transient expressions of today's understanding of synapse function

* Pre-Synaptic Bud Model
* Post-Synaptic (Sensitive Patch) Model

# Artificial Consciousness/Neural Correlates/Synaptic Models/Complex Ion Channel Model
## Complex Ion Channel Model

It is tempting to think of Ion channels as either filters that allow one type of ion into the channel, and thus filter all others out, or pumps that pump one type of ion across the membrane against the electrostatic gradient. And at one time, that was probably all that ion channels were, however, some ion channels evolved into multi-function mechanisms that are much more complex, and interact at a much more intimate level with the chemistry inside the neuron. Some ion channels pump different ions in different directions and some ion channels have secondary messengers that trigger chemical responses inside the cell. And some have it all, the NMDA ion channel for instance pumps potassium out of the cell, Calcium into the cell, and attracts Magnesium Ions to the outside of the ion channel when the cell it is in isn't near firing. These have the effect of blocking the ion channel so that it only works when the cell is near firing. As well, although it is primarily a Glutamate detector triggered ion channel, the ion channel can be blocked open by the presence of a second Neuro-Transmitter essentially sustaining firing long after the other synapses quit triggering it. Finally, the NMDA ion channel releases a chemical called cAMP that together with the calcium, triggers a chemical cascade reaction that involves parallel chemical cascades happening simultaneously, triggers DNA expression, and Protein Regulation mechanisms, and any number of other things that haven't been detected yet.
Eric R. Kandel of Columbia University, another Nobel Laureate, studied the operation of the NMDA ion channel, and extracted from it, a theory of long-term memory formation at the cellular level.
Although the S synapse is not quite as complicated, it may share some of the aspects of the NMDA ion channel including the linkage to long-term memory.

# Artificial Consciousness/Neural Correlates/Synaptic Models/Post-Synaptic rule
## Post-Synaptic Rule for Weight Adjustment

As I have said in the Pre-Synaptic Rule section modern Neural Networks often use a double rule based on both pre-synaptic and post-synaptic learning. The Pre-synaptic rule involves transport of a chemical retrograde from the presynaptic bud and protein regulation mechanisms in the cell. The Post synaptic rule however is nowhere near as complicated, if only because it works locally to the synapse.
It still involves proteins, but these proteins are not synthesized only when the cell fires, but are synthesized probably during normal operation of the cell, and are therefore probably generally available any time a synapse becomes active.
The rule seems relatively straightforward if a protein tag is available, and the synapse is active, then sequester the tag. We don't know if we need separate sequestering mechanisms for different types of tags, but we do know that protein tags only attach themselves to active synapses. Once the tag is sequestered it indicates to the cellular membrane replacement mechanism whether or not to add ion channels to the synaptic sensitive patch, and may have other uses in the conversion between synaptic values and fibril connections.
