?
This document discusses the defining characteristics of garden villages and towns. It outlines five key characteristics: 1) patient investing and value capture, 2) a clear vision that fits with the landscape, 3) a compact and diverse village model, 4) an enterprising community, and 5) maintaining the vision through governance and delivery. It provides examples of existing garden villages and discusses their benefits, including job creation, economic growth, and infrastructure investment. The document also notes that the UK government has designated 14 garden villages and 3 garden towns to accelerate home building while ensuring quality and innovation.
This summary outlines key information from the PRSSA general meeting:

The document describes the unique 1:1:1 learning method used in Psychotactics courses. The method involves 3 parts: 1) understanding concepts through notes, audio and mind maps provided in advance, 2) owning the concepts through discussion and exercises to apply the learning, and 3) applying the concepts by posting assignments and getting feedback. The goal is to enable deep assimilation, ownership and application of the material through this structured yet supported process.
A Shallow Survey of Alternative Languages on the JVMCharles Anderson
?
This document surveys alternative languages that run on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), including ported languages like JRuby and new languages like Groovy and Scala. It discusses why developers use these languages, noting they provide access to powerful Java platforms and libraries while allowing programming in more modern languages. Issues like performance and compatibility challenges are also outlined. Examples of code in several languages are provided.
1. The document discusses work teams and contrasts them with work groups, noting that work teams have collective performance goals, share information, and generate positive synergy through coordinated effort.
2. It then outlines the characteristics of successful work teams, including clear goals, mutual trust, good communication, and effective leadership.
3. The document concludes with a discussion of how managers can build trust within teams and how organizations can develop good team members.
The document provides an overview of Docker, an open platform for developing, shipping, and running applications using containers, which are lightweight virtualization technologies. It emphasizes the benefits of containers, such as speed and portability, and highlights Docker's role in fostering collaboration between development and operations teams. Additionally, it details how Docker images are built from layers and mentions resources for further information.
The document summarizes the November 18, 2008 general meeting of the MSU PRSSA chapter. It provides information on membership opportunities for graduating students, internship and job opportunities, upcoming events like PR Links and volunteer dates, and applications for Hubbell Connections client work. The next general meeting is announced for December 2nd.
