This short document promotes the creation of presentations using Haiku Deck, an online presentation tool, suggesting it can be used to make creative slideshows. It includes photo credits to stock images from five different photographers. It concludes by encouraging the reader to get started making their own Haiku Deck presentation on 狠狠撸Share.

The document discusses two concepts: ethnocentrism and Afrocentrism. [1] Ethnocentrism refers to evaluating other cultures based primarily on the standards of one's own culture. [2] Afrocentrism emerged as a reaction to past views that minimized African contributions to history and civilization. [3] The document provides examples of important inventions and innovations by African Americans that were often overlooked in traditional histories.
Japan borrowed heavily from Chinese culture and civilization during the Taika period through the Heian period, adopting Chinese writing, Buddhism, and Confucian practices. However, the Taika reforms were disrupted by powerful Buddhist monastic orders and aristocratic families, leading the imperial court to flee to Heian-kyo (Kyoto). Court life in Heian-kyo became highly refined and focused on poetry and literature, as seen in The Tale of Genji. Meanwhile, provincial warrior families grew in power at the expense of the imperial court, culminating in the Gempei Wars and establishment of the first shogunate under the Minamoto in Kamakura.

WebSphere eXtreme Scale (WXS) is a data grid that can be used to cache data and improve response times for applications. It allows building scalable front ends that are decoupled from back-end systems. The document discusses common usage patterns for WXS including caching database queries, web service results, and HTTP sessions. It also provides examples of how large companies have used WXS to significantly improve performance and scale for applications in areas like online banking, telecommunications, ecommerce, and travel. Response times were typically reduced to single digit milliseconds.
India is the 7th largest country by area and the 2nd most populous country with over 1.18 billion people. It has 29 states and 6 union territories, with 18 official languages and hundreds of dialects spoken. India has the 3rd largest GDP in the world at $4 trillion, though it ranks 128th in per capita income at $2,941. The country has a robust aerospace research sector spanning space research, missiles, fighter planes, and normal aircraft. Major organizations contributing to aerospace research include ISRO, DRDO, and HAL. India has achieved notable successes with its space and missile programs.
Parkinson's disease is commonly misdiagnosed due to its similarities with other neurological conditions. The diagnosis of Parkinson's disease requires two of three key motor symptoms - resting tremor, cogwheel rigidity, and bradykinesia - along with their response to levodopa treatment and asymmetric presentation. It is important to consider secondary causes and atypical Parkinsonian syndromes during the differential diagnosis process, as these conditions have different treatment approaches and prognoses than idiopathic Parkinson's disease.
This document discusses frameworks and processes for selecting textbooks. It begins by outlining common considerations in textbook selection, such as cost, content, and relevance. It then reviews different evaluation approaches, including checklists and task analysis. A proposed framework is presented involving an initial screening of books, identifying essential criteria, analyzing sample tasks, and comparing to course objectives. Checklists from various sources are also examined. The document concludes that while no single approach is best, a thorough process can help avoid poor textbook choices.
The document summarizes the black economy in India. It states that the black economy has grown from 3% in the 1950s to 50% today. Some components of the parallel black economy are tax evasion, smuggling, bribe-taking, and foreign currency racketeering. Statistics show that Indians have accumulated over $1.5 trillion in black money, especially stored in tax havens like Switzerland. Bringing this unaccounted money back could fund infrastructure and development projects and eliminate poverty in India. However, legalizing the massive black economy would require people to declare it and pay taxes, which is unlikely.

The document provides information about a workshop on textbook selection and evaluation presented by Joshua Durey. It includes biographical information about Joshua, outlines some common considerations and criteria for textbook selection, and provides samples of task analysis sheets and checklists that were discussed in the workshop. The goal of the workshop was to provide a framework and tools for participants to systematically evaluate and select textbooks for their teaching contexts.
