Language learning and teaching through social media

“Following someone on Twitter you are really
interested in is good for improving your grasp
of contemporary idiom! I follow Pussy Riot
and it has improved my Russian no end. Only
140 characters to grapple with and I really
want to know what they are saying, which
always helps. Oh and the Russian for troll on
Twitter comes straight from the English.”

Are the smartphone wars wearing your out? When asked to choose between Objective-C and Java do you answer “None of the Above”? Do you think app stores are so 1995? Then there is good news for you and it’s called the mobile web. This isn’t about trying to port iFart to the browser, and it’s definitely not about tweaking an existing website so it doesn’t look awful on your mom’s iPhone. It is about writing full featured, engaging applications on the web. This talk is all about how to create killer web apps using HTML5, CSS3, as well as some other not-so-standard technologies available on a wide variety of popular smartphones. We’re talking about multi-threaded, high performance apps that can track your movement or even take pictures of whatever you think is interesting.

香港六合彩香港六合彩香港六合彩

歌里唱千年修得共枕眠，那么，无论那个过程是怎样发生的，身边这个人，应该就是与自己缘定今生的人了…… 　　身畔响起的男音，将香港六合彩拉回现实。　　老婆，香港六合彩醒了，饿了没？我去给香港六合彩做吃的。吴君轻轻的靠过来，拥住香港六合彩，一种带着陌生气息的温暖将香港六合彩包围着，宝贝，有要乱想，我会好好待香港六合彩，我们会好好的，香港六合彩要是想再考大学，就在家复习一年，愿意上班就去，不愿意就在家专心学习，学费以及家里的开销都不用操心，一切有我。　　那怎么可以。香港六合彩听见自己的声音很生硬。　　怎么不可以，我是香港六合彩老公，我的就是香港六合彩的，等香港六合彩到了年龄，我们就结婚，老婆。吴君自顾自的说，然后在香港六合彩脸上吻了一下，披上衣服向厨房走去。　　望着吴群的背影，耳边回响着香港六合彩刚才的话等香港六合彩到了年龄，我们就结婚，老婆。香港六合彩叫香港六合彩老婆…… 　　和香港六合彩结婚，这似乎没什么不好，可也没什么好，就像所有女人一样，结婚、生子、柴米油盐，平凡而温馨的日子，和这样一个男人，总归会比母亲幸福一些吧，至少这个男人看上去是正常的，而且看上去也是爱香港六合彩的。　　只是，香港六合彩似乎觉得心里有一种空空洞洞的感觉，好像失去了某种对香港六合彩来讲至关重要的东西，这感觉让香港六合彩难受。　　起身的时候，香港六合彩看了看床单，上头是雪白的，没有传说中初次的红，走了几步，身下也没有疼痛的感觉。

Elks by Alexvebrya

The document describes key facts about elk including their physical appearance, habitat, living habits, birth, and some interesting facts. Elk are among the largest mammals in the world, standing over 4 feet tall with brown or tan fur. They live in grasslands across parts of North America and can be found in large herds. Elk calves are born with orange spots in the spring and face threats from predators and poisoned grasslands. Bull elk grow large antlers and shed coats and horns at different times of the year.

The Holocaust had a profound and lasting impact on survivors and their descendants. While direct witnesses of the atrocities committed during the Holocaust are aging and passing away, their memories are being carried on through art, literature, film and the work of "secondary witnesses." These secondary witnesses ensure that the events of the Holocaust are not forgotten by educating new generations and keeping alive the first-hand accounts of survivors.

Building digital capabilityLis Parcell

Building digital capability involves taking steps to become more digitally capable. This includes putting building blocks in place, such as downloading and implementing role profiles that are mapped to competency frameworks. Building digital capability also involves reflecting on which digital capabilities are most important personally and how much those capabilities are currently part of one's work role in their organization. Resources for building digital capability include project materials, blogs, guides, support and consultancy available on the Jisc website.

Building digital capability for changing rolesLis Parcell

This document discusses building digital capability and changing roles. It identifies six elements of digital capability: information, data, communication, content, safety, and problem solving. It provides resources for developing digital capability, including a new role profile mapped to competencies and a guide for organizations. The document suggests that libraries will need to develop capabilities in multiple elements to support digital strategies and changing roles.

Blind spots in AI and Formulation Science, IFPAC 2025.pdfAjaz Hussain

The intersection of AI and pharmaceutical formulation science highlights significant blind spots—systemic gaps in pharmaceutical development, regulatory oversight, quality assurance, and the ethical use of AI—that could jeopardize patient safety and undermine public trust. To move forward effectively, we must address these normalized blind spots, which may arise from outdated assumptions, errors, gaps in previous knowledge, and biases in language or regulatory inertia. This is essential to ensure that AI and formulation science are developed as tools for patient-centered and ethical healthcare.

This presentation delves into the systemic blind spots within pharmaceutical science and regulatory systems, emphasizing the significance of "inactive ingredients" and their influence on therapeutic equivalence. These blind spots, indicative of normalized systemic failures, go beyond mere chance occurrences and are ingrained deeply enough to compromise decision-making processes and erode trust. Historical instances like the 1938 FD&C Act and the Generic Drug Scandals underscore how crisis-triggered reforms often fail to address the fundamental issues, perpetuating inefficiencies and hazards. The narrative advocates a shift from reactive crisis management to proactive, adaptable systems prioritizing continuous enhancement. Key hurdles involve challenging outdated assumptions regarding bioavailability, inadequately funded research ventures, and the impact of vague language in regulatory frameworks. The rise of large language models (LLMs) presents promising solutions, albeit with accompanying risks necessitating thorough validation and seamless integration. Tackling these blind spots demands a holistic approach, embracing adaptive learning and a steadfast commitment to self-improvement. By nurturing curiosity, refining regulatory terminology, and judiciously harnessing new technologies, the pharmaceutical sector can progress towards better public health service delivery and ensure the safety, efficacy, and real-world impact of drug products.
