Rick Weinberg presents on writing instruction that meets Common Core standards for struggling students. He discusses why teaching writing is important, how to support struggling students, and examples of assistive technologies that can help students organize and express their ideas. Some key assistive technologies mentioned are voice recognition apps, word prediction, and digital notetaking pens. The presentation aims to provide tools and strategies to enable all students to develop their writing skills.
The document discusses the HABITATS project which aims to validate INSPIRE data structures related to habitats through a social, bottom-up approach. It involves building user communities, developing data models, designing a spatial data infrastructure service architecture, and implementing pilot projects to test the services. The pilots will focus on managing natural resources and economic activities through participatory co-design processes to help drive adoption of standards from the bottom-up. The expected results include multi-stakeholder communities, data models, network services, operational pilot services, and dissemination of lessons learned.
Disaster Recovery of on-premises IT infrastructure with AWSAmazon Web Services
?
The objective of this session is to enable customers with any level of DR experience to gain actionable guidance to advance their business up the ladder of DR readiness. AWS enables fast disaster recovery of critical on-premises IT systems without incurring the complexity and expense of a second physical site. With 28 availability zones in 11 regions around the world and a broad set of services, AWS can deliver rapid recovery of on-premises IT infrastructure and data. During this session we will walk you through the ascending levels of DR options made possible with AWS and review the technologies and services that help deliver various DR capabilities, starting from cloud backups all the way up to hot site DR. We will also explore various DR architectures and the balance of recovery time and cost.
This session is recommended for anyone interested in building real-time streaming applications using AWS. In this session, you will get a deep understanding of how data can be ingested by Amazon Kinesis and made available for real-time analysis and processing. We¡¯ll also show how you can leverage the Kinesis client to make your applications highly available and fault tolerant. We¡¯ll explore various design considerations in implementing real-time solutions and explain key concepts against the backdrop of an actual use case. Finally, we¡¯ll situate stream processing in the broader context of your big data applications.
This document lists various means of transport used in logistics, including road haulage vehicles like trucks, lorries, and vans; sea transport methods such as steamships, cargo ships, tankers, and barges; railway transports like freight trains, locomotives, and railcars; and air transport options including aeroplanes, jumbo jets, helicopters, and air carriers.
The document lists the speakers for several upcoming events hosted by the Advertising Club at Kansas State University, including events about identity, fundraising, traveling to Kansas City and Chicago, and the future of the advertising industry. It also provides contact information for the Ad Club President.

The document discusses a test of how the public utilized information from the 2007 Horizon Report once it was released. It was found that most hits from searches about the report were education related, with blogs and wikis being most popular. The report was mostly used to validate information, build support, and inform individuals and groups about emerging technologies for education like virtual worlds and educational gaming. While most hits were education related, some business hits also referenced the report's usefulness in predicting future education trends.
The Looking Glass is an audiovisual interactive installation that responds to individuals by creating an altered representation of users. Participants enter a dark room with a fibre optic wall, which is activated by the movement and projects a distorted silhouette of the participants through the individual glowing strands of fibre optics. Any sound emitted by the user will be echoed and cause the projections to change colour based on volume. The installation allows participants to develop an awareness of an alternative self, which encourages interaction and reflection. It explores the line between the digital and physical using fibre optic.
This document discusses challenges and solutions related to implementing medical IT systems. It begins with an overview of idealized vs. real-world medical IT systems from different perspectives. It then presents a taxonomy of common implementation barriers including time, expertise, access, resources, and support. Potential solutions are proposed such as total commitment from hospital management, pre-deployment buy-in from key physicians, process re-engineering, intensive help desk support, and senior management accountability.
European archives organizations have used large EU tenders to digitize and preserve collections at unprecedented scales. Sound and Vision, the EYE, and the National Archives of the Netherlands have collectively awarded over $14 million in tenders between 2007-2012. Principles for the tenders include being highly specific in project specifications, combining similar materials into large batches to reduce costs, and preparing materials in advance so contractors don't factor preparation work into their bids. Lessons learned are that specificity and transparency in the selection process reduces legal claims, and focusing on repeatable, standard processes offers the best value for the money spent.
This very short document appears to be in French and contains codes or identifiers that do not provide much contextual meaning on their own. It mentions "P-5 A Taurons" but no other understandable information is given.
Musings on the changing character of Britain's cultural landscape. It is a plea to the retail shed builders to look at themselves and begin to respect their potential customers. It is a warning to the potential customers of ASP-Host and Web Solutions. It is a plea to the Law Society to put the upholding of the law at the top of their agenda rather than the protection of their cartel. The presentation is amusing yet serious. If you like it, spread the word and pass it on. Thanks.
Twucwuc land is a new acronym for scamland. WULs have been around for a while. Fast-buck Britain and Buckfast Britain are the same place. An invoice reminder should be an invoice reminder and should never be post-dated. Take care on your journey.
