Mechanism

Consider the reaction in attached document.  What is a stepwise mechanism that accounts for both of the products shown. Please show me the mechanism. Show all intermediate structures and all electron flow with arrows. Also include resonance. In addition, what is the non-prefeered products of electrophilic addition to the opposite end of the conjugated diene? Thanks.
