This document summarizes a presentation given by Lisa Van Houten at a pipeline safety conference regarding a technical assistance grant received to study alternative pipeline routes near the Bradford Glen subdivision. The presentation compared the environmental and safety impacts of the current pipeline route versus three alternative routes, finding that one alternative route would affect fewer wetlands, streams, homes, and businesses while maintaining substantial wooded areas and storm drainage. The grant will be used to create an infrastructure map, analyze safety and environmental impacts, and study additional shut-off valves along the pipeline.
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.
This document provides a tour of a school, introducing the headteacher, secretary, and deputy headteacher's offices. It describes two playgrounds, classrooms, the dining room, a vegetable garden, and gym. The school surroundings and daily activities like lessons are briefly outlined.
This document discusses key concepts in Scrum project management. It provides an overview of Scrum principles like self-organizing teams, empirical process control, and transparency. It also examines differences between predictive/waterfall and Scrum approaches. Specifically, it notes that Scrum starts with goals and some priority requirements rather than a full plan, and aims to meet goals rather than fully define all requirements up front. The document also discusses truths about team motivation, performance, composition, and emerging requirements in Scrum projects.

This document discusses sustainable agro-industrial models and includes the following information:
1. It presents data on carbon dioxide emissions from electricity production in various countries from 2008 to 2019, showing a general decrease over time.
2. It analyzes levels of persistent organic pollutants like PCB, DDT, DDD, and DDE in plastic pellets from various countries, finding the highest levels in pellets from the UK, Japan, and Thailand.
3. It examines experimental production of lactic acid from renewable resources like starches and finds that temperature affects the molecular weight of the resulting polymers over time.
The document discusses the concept of software craftsmanship, which aims to improve software development through values, responsibility, discipline, and practices like iterative development, automated testing, simplicity, collaboration, and continuous improvement. It emphasizes learning skills like writing high-quality code, testing, and refactoring through an apprentice-like model. The goal is for developers to think of themselves as craftsmen who produce well-designed, readable code for other programmers.
IN THIS SUMMARY
Throughout human history, most countries have had more young people than old people. This is no longer true in the United States and is even less true in most western European countries and Japan. Between 2010 and 2040, the numbers of elderly Americans will more than double while the non-elderly population will grow by just ten percent. As the United States workforce ages, some analysts and researchers are projecting a labor shortage and a corresponding job boom in the next decade. As a result, there will be a gap in the availability of an educated and trained pool of skilled workers to fill organizational needs. In The Boomer Retirement Time Bomb, Donald L. Venneberg and Barbara Welss Eversole endeavor to shed some light on the issues connected to retaining, and even recruiting, talent from the pool of senior experienced workers.

This document outlines a research project comparing the social construction of cultural heritage and leisure in the waterfront areas of Bilbao, Barcelona, and New York. The research has three main objectives: 1) Analyzing emerging trends in the urbanization, experience, and management of public spaces in metropolitan waterfronts, 2) Mapping urban commons and innovative uses of public space through collaborative tools, and 3) Examining rights to leisure and how cities use culture and the arts to create and brand their images. The methodology includes discourse analysis, ethnographic mapping of spaces and their uses, and expert panels, interviews, and focus groups with practitioners, planners, artists, and citizens from the three cities.
This document discusses the importance of personal branding and creating a brand called "I". It suggests developing a clear understanding of one's strengths, goals and skills in order to effectively brand oneself. Some key steps outlined are identifying 1-2 specialties, visualizing a 5 year plan, getting relevant training, updating one's resume and online profiles to reflect this personal brand, blogging to share knowledge and experiences, engaging on social media like LinkedIn and Twitter, developing business cards and signature emails, and looking for opportunities to give trainings, speak at conferences or write eBooks to further promote the personal brand.
