This document discusses using LAND Trust funding to implement an eye training program called eyeQ in schools. It provides evidence that eyeQ improves student performance in reading speeds and comprehension from studies conducted at Granger Elementary and South Summit High School. The program strengthens areas of the brain related to memory, concentration, conceptual learning and language as shown in an fMRI study. eyeQ is presented as an effective and affordable way to fulfill the LAND Trust mandate of enhancing academic excellence for all students, providing a fundamental skill like reading at low cost and with limitless reach. It outlines the simple process of purchasing eyeQ for a school.
Este documento describe el diseño de un programa de mantenimiento basado en la confiabilidad para una planta. El objetivo general es mejorar la efectividad de los activos rotativos mediante el uso de tecnologÃas predictivas como la vibración, ultrasonido y termografÃa. Se realizará un análisis de criticidad para identificar los equipos más crÃticos y se aplicarán estas herramientas para diagnosticar su condición y detectar fallas de manera anticipada. El programa ayudará a planificar el mantenimiento de forma oportuna y mejorar la disponibil

Mobile apps are truly ubiquitous and enhance our lives in many ways. However, many either leak or insecurely handle geolocation data, affording an attacker the ability to locate, track, or even determine a user’s identity. This talk describes classes of geolocation vulnerabilities, how apps may be audited to find such bugs, and best practices to ensure users remain protected. To provide a more 'hands-on' feel, real world case studies are presented to demonstrate attacks uncovered by Synack researchers.
The talk will begin with a technical overview of geolocation capabilities in mobile OSs and how apps may access a user's location. Next the talk will identify common classes of geolocation bugs and illustrate how developers often utilize a user's location in an insecure manner. One example, since geolocation APIs may default to the highest level of accuracy, a user's precise location may be revealed if not properly secured (on the device, in transit, or in the cloud).
Unfortunately, as our case studies show, such bugs are alarmingly common (numerous popular applications will be mentioned). A specific case study on Grindr (a common dating app), will be presented to illustrate a myriad of geolocation bugs that placed its users in harm’s way (see: 'Grindr vulnerability places men in harm's way' http://goo.gl/dg4cs6). First, due to the lack of SSL pinning, we present a MitM attack that reveals the user's exact location. Following this, we demonstrate a scalable remote attack. This attack combined several bugs, including the fact that the app reported (to anybody), the precise relative distance of all 'near-by' users. With these distances and the ability to spoof one's location and perform unlimited requests, trilateration could precisely locate and track users world-wide. Unfortunately though we reported the bugs, patches only appeared after it was reported that the Egyptian government was tracking and arresting Grindr users.
Step by step demonstrations will be given, showing how we were able to harvest data and run calculations to determine tens of thousands of user's locations in real time. But it would be silly if we stopped there... Leveraging our capability we demonstrate a custom framework developed to map patterns of life and subsequently correlate these patters to true identity. By setting "hot spots" in our framework (think celebrity homes or US capitols) we can monitor target locations for user activity - potentially exposing identities of parties that may traditionally wish to remain private such as celebrities, athletes, and politicians. And yes, it works ;).
El documento resume las discusiones de un foro sobre el aumento de precios del pan y la carne en Bolivia y sus efectos en la población. 1) El aumento de precios disminuye el poder adquisitivo de las familias y las fuerza a reducir el consumo de estos alimentos básicos. 2) El impacto es mayor para la población urbana de bajos ingresos, mientras que la rural se ve afectada de forma más lenta. 3) La importación de estos productos puede desincentivar la producción nacional pero ayuda a mantener

Erlang and Scala have a very complementary set of strengths and weaknesses for building large scale distributed systems. Cliff shows how to build polyglot distributed systems using Scalang, a library that allows actors written in Scala to perform remote messaging with both Erlang and other Scala nodes. Presented at Boundary's Pizza, Beer, & Tech Talks meetup on October 6, 2011.
The document discusses strategies for creating a viral game. It notes that the gaming market is growing and most games have a "long tail" of players. It then lists characteristics that viral games typically have, such as being easy to learn, out of the ordinary, allowing players to collect items, having good design, enabling gifting and social features, involving players, and being competitive. The document also mentions the importance of updates, achievements and competitive features for extending the lifespan of a game.
The document lists several potential career paths that the author considered but ultimately did not want to pursue, such as ballerina, nurse, business tycoon, magician, fireman, and rock star. It ends by suggesting the author wants to be a project manager and provides a link to additional information.
Two men dressed as police officers tricked their way into the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum after hours. They bound and gagged the two security guards, leaving them tied up in the basement. Then they proceeded to steal 13 works of art from the museum, including Rembrandt's "The Storm on the Sea of Galilee" and Vermeer's "The Concert." It was the largest property theft from a museum in history. The stolen works, valued at over $500 million, have never been recovered.

A campanha do Dia do Fonoaudiólogo de 2014 usou uma contagem regressiva em posts no Facebook para revelar a participação surpresa da cantora Ivete Sangalo. Os posts usaram trechos de músicas de Ivete e descreveram áreas de atuação dos fonoaudiólogos, gerando engajamento entre os seguidores. No final, a campanha alcançou milhões na rede social, estabelecendo um recorde para o Conselho Federal de Fonoaudiologia.
Vodafone is lowering mobile rates for business travelers in Europe and consumers.

It was formed to encourage artistic expression and cultural traditions around drumming in everyday life and important events in Rwanda.
Thousands of cocoa farmers in Ghana have joined the Cocoa Abrabopa Association (CAA) which provides training, credit, and agricultural supplies to help farmers treat cocoa farming more like a business. Through group organization and cooperation, the CAA has grown from 1,500 members to over 12,000 members in just five years. At the CAA's annual general meeting, over 12,000 members gather to vote for regional representatives in a display of grassroots democracy.
