Today is World AIDS Day. It marks an internationally recognised event aimed at raising awareness about HIV and AIDS around the world. Across the globe, the event is commemorated in a multitude of ways, collectively symbolised by the wearing of red ribbons, a sign of support for those living with HIV.
The song "Let It Be" was composed by Paul McCartney in 1970 and inspired by a dream he had of his mother telling him "let it be." It was written during a period of internal troubles within The Beatles as the band was disbanding. The main message of the song is to stay calm and let things happen naturally. It encourages having faith that even in hard times, there will eventually be resolution or answers if you "let it be."

Chef Design & Cooking Graphics
Hai mai pensato a quante similitudini esistano tra il lavoro dello Chef in cucina ed il Graphic Designer?
Colori. Forme. Layout. Textures. Contrasti. Emozioni. Sensi.
Termini chiave che si fondono sul fronte unico della Creativit... cosa succederebbe se l'ispirazione giusta o il metodo di lavoro al quale riferirsi fosse proprio quello di uno Chef?
Ecco un webinar molto speciale dedicato a chi in cerca di nuove chiavi di lettura per il proprio lavoro, di una ispirazione creativa diversa dal solito e, soprattutto, dedicato a chi ha capito che davvero uno Chef in cucina e un Graphic Designer hanno molto in comune ;)
Dalla mia bacheca Pinterest a tanti sfiziosi esempi scopriremo insieme come essere dei bravi creativi dentro (ma soprattutto) fuori dalla cucina, in modo inaspettato.
NOVITA'! Da giugno 2016 questo webinar stato convertito in una serie di lezioni pratiche.

The first section notes that technology affects all aspects of life and has made online ordering common. The next section explains that modern business relies on computer networks and security of personal information, while internationalization is increasing as information is easily shared globally. The last section gives examples of Amazon and Google's roles in stimulating internet-based business models.
Understanding how collaboration improves productivityPaul Boos
?
The document discusses a simulation game called "Power of 13" that is used to demonstrate how collaboration improves productivity. The game simulates different collaboration scenarios where developers work alone, pull additional work after completing tasks, work in pairs, and work as a swarm. Participants found that effectiveness increased in each subsequent round as collaboration increased. Models of group dynamics and communication patterns are also discussed, such as how the number of communication paths grows with group size, limiting productivity. Successful team behaviors like equal participation and direct communication are identified. The stages of group development and information sharing through collaboration are explored.
Pinellas County School Board faced budget cuts and closed two schools, merging them with others to form new fundamental middle schools. This transition caused disruption but the new schools are now thriving. However, the expanding fundamental program risks exceeding capacity at the district's sole fundamental high school. The school board must choose between hoping student numbers don't grow too large, overcrowding the existing high school, or opening new fundamental high school programs to meet demand and better serve students.
This study found that CMV coinfection is associated with higher CD8 T-cell counts, lower CD4/CD8 ratios, and increased systemic inflammation in ART-treated HIV-infected individuals. The key findings were:
1) Median CD8 counts were significantly higher in HIV/CMV coinfected patients compared to HIV monoinfected or healthy controls.
2) HIV/CMV coinfection resulted in significantly lower CD4/CD8 ratios.
3) Levels of inflammatory markers IP-10, TNF-RII, and D-dimer were higher in HIV/CMV coinfected individuals.
CMV coinfection may contribute to the risk of morbid outcomes in treated HIV infection by driving
This document discusses decision making and how humans make decisions in two ways: involuntary decision making, which relies on habitual responses, and voluntary decision making, which involves consciously considering options. Voluntary decision making can be influenced by credible sources, authority figures, peer influence, and desires for affection, inclusion, and control. The document also outlines four decision making styles (driver, expressive, amiable, analytical) and provides guidelines for critical decision making such as defining the problem, analyzing assumptions, and tolerating uncertainty.
This document describes Julie Gough's 1994 artwork series titled "Medical Series". It consists of 10 sculptural cases containing mixed media objects and printed texts referencing scientific studies that aimed to prove racial inferiority. Each case studied a different part of the body and reconfigured evidence used to indicate racial differences. The series presented a reimagining of the supposed scientific evidence for racial inferiority. It reflected Gough's learning about representations of her Indigenous family and was exhibited in 1994 and 1995.

Webinar: LF Energy GEISA: Addressing edge interoperability at the meterDanBrown980551
?
This webinar will introduce the Grid Edge Security and Interoperability Alliance, or GEISA, an effort within LF Energy to address application interoperability at the very edge of the utility network: meters and other distribution automation devices. Over the last decade platform manufacturers have introduced the ability to run applications on electricity meters and other edge devices. Unfortunately, while many of these efforts have been built on Linux, they havent been interoperable. APIs and execution environment have varied from one manufacturer to the next making it impossible for utilities to obtain applications that they can run across a fleet of different devices. For utilities that want to minimize their supply chain risk by obtaining equipment from multiple suppliers, they are forced to run and maintain multiple separate management systems. Applications available for one device may need to be ported to run on another, or they may not be available at all.
GEISA addresses this by creating a vendor neutral specification for utility edge computing environments. This webinar will discuss why GEISA is important to utilities, the specific issues GEISA will solve and the new opportunities it creates for utilities, platform vendors, and application vendors.
