The document proposes a "slum networking" approach to infrastructure development in Kibera, Kenya's largest informal settlement. It involves integrating basic services like water, sewer, drainage and roads by following natural topographical features and drainage paths. This would exploit nature's gradient routes and link slums. The proposal identifies Ngong River, drainage networks and transportation routes in Kibera and divides the area into sectors for phased development, starting with clearing drainage channels, introducing parks and roads, and eventually replacing slum housing with higher density, mixed-use buildings to improve living conditions. Lessons from a similar project in India suggest participatory planning and leveraging natural resources are effective for upgrading slums.Information Skills At Lse

This document summarizes the London School of Economics' experience with e-books for teaching and research. It discusses the e-book collections available through MyiLibrary and publishers' packages for teaching essential readings. It also notes that researchers are spending less time in libraries but still need remote access to digital resources like e-books. While large e-book collections exist for research, usage is perceived to be low because the titles are not all listed in the library catalog, making them less visible. Ensuring e-book titles are discoverable in the catalog is important to increase usage.Outside the mainstream

The document discusses the process for selecting and acquiring materials at the Information Services department. Selectors are assigned areas of responsibility based on language, geography, or subject. Materials are selected using a variety of tools, and some purchases are customized based on subject profiles. The department uses standing orders, firm orders, exchanges, and special acquisition units to obtain materials. Difficult to find materials include US government publications, United Nations documents, foreign language journals, and references from the internet.Turquia Pamukkalejosemorales

The Bandeira Cient鱈fica project is a multidisciplinary initiative led by the University of S達o Paulo that sends students and professionals on expeditions to underserved cities in Brazil to promote public health and infrastructure improvements. The project traces its origins to private expeditions in the 17th-18th centuries that explored Brazil's interior. It has operated in two phases since 1957, expanding beyond medicine to include other fields. In 2006, over 200 participants from the university traveled to Machadinho d'Oeste to conduct over 5,500 medical consultations and other community services over 10 days, and have continued engagement with the city since. The project aims to assess needs, stimulate long-term development, and provide learning experiences forJongJarb

The Labour reforms aimed to tackle social problems like poverty, poor housing, health issues, education and unemployment. While the reforms helped many, their impact is debated. The establishment of programs like the NHS and national insurance provided support, but they also faced issues like high costs and not covering all people. Other reforms such as new housing and schools construction provided benefits but often did not meet ambitious targets and timelines. The impact of the Labour reforms was mixed as they successfully helped many people but also had limitations and unintended consequences.Public, private, politics

Have-a-skate-with-Bob (HASB-KC) is a local charity that holds two Hockey Tournaments every year to raise money in the fight against Pancreatic Cancer. The FME Form software is used to integrate and exchange data via API, between Google Forms, Google Sheets, Stripe payments, SmartWaiver, and the GoDaddy email marketing tools to build a grass-roots Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system for the charity. The CRM is used to communicate effectively and readily with the participants of the hockey events and most importantly the local area sponsors of the event. Communication consists of a BLOG used to inform participants of event details including, the ever-important team rosters. Funds raised by these events are used to support families in the local area to fight cancer and support PanCan research efforts to find a cure against this insidious disease. FME Form removes the tedium and error-prone manual ETL processes against these systems into 1 or 2 workbenches that put the data needed at the fingertips of the event organizers daily freeing them to work on outreach and marketing of the events in the community.MuleSoft for AgentForce : Topic Center and API Catalog

Wil Florentino, Senior Segment Marketing Manager at Micron, presents the Addressing Evolving AI Model Challenges Through Memory and Storage tutorial at the May 2025 Embedded Vision Summit.
In the fast-changing world of artificial intelligence, the industry is deploying more AI compute at the edge. But the growing diversity and data footprint of transformers and models such as large language models and large multimodal models puts a spotlight on memory performance and data storage capacity as key bottlenecks. Enabling the full potential of AI in industries such as manufacturing, automotive, robotics and transportation will require us to find efficient ways to deploy this new generation of complex models.
In this presentation, Florentino explores how memory and storage are responding to this need and solving complex issues in the AI market. He examines the storage capacity and memory bandwidth requirements of edge AI use cases ranging from tiny devices with severe cost and power constraints to edge servers, and he explains how new memory technologies such as LPDDR5, LPCAMM2 and multi-port SSDs are helping system developers to meet these challenges.No-Code Workflows for CAD & 3D Data: Scaling AI-Driven Infrastructure

When projects depend on fast, reliable spatial data, every minute counts.
AI Clearing needed a faster way to handle complex spatial data from drone surveys, CAD designs and 3D project models across construction sites. With FME Form, they built no-code workflows to clean, convert, integrate, and validate dozens of data formats cutting analysis time from 5 hours to just 30 minutes.
Join us, our partner Globema, and customer AI Clearing to see how they:
-Automate processing of 2D, 3D, drone, spatial, and non-spatial data
-Analyze construction progress 10x faster and with fewer errors
-Handle diverse formats like DWG, KML, SHP, and PDF with ease
-Scale their workflows for international projects in solar, roads, and pipelines
If you work with complex data, join us to learn how to optimize your own processes and transform your results with FME.Key Requirements to Successfully Implement Generative AI in Edge DevicesOpt...

Gordon Cooper, Principal Product Manager at Synopsys, presents the Key Requirements to Successfully Implement Generative AI in Edge DevicesOptimized Mapping to the Enhanced NPX6 Neural Processing Unit IP tutorial at the May 2025 Embedded Vision Summit.
In this talk, Cooper discusses emerging trends in generative AI for edge devices and the key role of transformer-based neural networks. He reviews the distinct attributes of transformers, their advantages over conventional convolutional neural networks and how they enable generative AI.
Cooper then covers key requirements that must be met for neural processing units (NPU) to support transformers and generative AI in edge device applications. He uses transformer-based generative AI examples to illustrate the efficient mapping of these workloads onto the enhanced Synopsys ARC NPX NPU IP family.AI VIDEO MAGAZINE - June 2025 - r/aivideo

DC Inverter Air Conditioners are revolutionizing the cooling industry by delivering affordable,
energy-efficient, and environmentally sustainable climate control solutions. Unlike conventional
fixed-speed air conditioners, DC inverter systems operate with variable-speed compressors that
modulate cooling output based on demand, significantly reducing energy consumption and
extending the lifespan of the appliance.
These systems are critical in reducing electricity usage, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, and
promoting eco-friendly technologies in residential and commercial sectors. With advancements in
compressor control, refrigerant efficiency, and smart energy management, DC inverter air conditioners
have become a benchmark in sustainable climate control solutionsBridging the divide: A conversation on tariffs today in the book industry - T...
