Real-time tidal observation is possible using high-accuracy GPS positioning systems. VERIPOS has implemented this using their Ultra PPP system, which provides 10-20cm vertical accuracy. This allows correlation between GPS heights and tides after removing vessel motion effects. Two tidal estimates are provided - an "Ultra Tide" after 39 hours of averaging, and an instantaneous "Geoid Tide" based on the EGM96 geoid model. VERIPOS tidal estimates have been validated against predicted tides and tide gauges with standard deviations of 10-13cm. The method provides benefits over traditional tide gauges for applications like bathymetry and current prediction.
The document discusses how social networks have expanded and become more complex, with people now able to interact within and across networks through online platforms. It notes that businesses and entrepreneurs can learn lessons from this change, as personal networks were previously more segregated and relied solely on face-to-face interactions, which led to high attrition rates. The presentation provides a case study on how the matrimonial industry has been impacted and gives examples of how social networks now grow organically across different parts of people's lives from school to work.
The document introduces D.A. Davidson as the largest employee-owned financial services company in the Pacific Northwest and the most experienced advisor for school bonds and finances. It provides details on Davidson's education finance team and lists the many Washington school district bond transactions that Davidson has led or advised on between 2007 and 2008.

The document discusses how to effectively measure impact and ensure interventions are making a real difference for those in extreme poverty. It emphasizes having a clear and concise mission focused on outcomes, using the right metrics to measure impact, and establishing proper attribution through controls and baseline data to show the intervention was the cause of any changes. The entire process, from identifying needs to ensuring widespread adoption of solutions, must be carefully designed and implemented to ultimately create impact.
Now, Near, Next...extending your brand for the *new* mobile and beyond.
The landscape of information, technology, devices and the context of their use is rapidly shifting, and brands must be prepared to take on the new challenges of this hyper mobile/social world. As we move into the next generation of what we consider mobile–from connected objects, to social experiences, to tablet–how do you create consistency and relevance? How can you infuse your brand into the touchpoints that people will use again and again and really love?
Service design leadership from Fjord San Francisco will discuss the current landscape, identify ways to think about your approach for the near future, and provide some food for thought for what's next.

Collaborative Translation in not-for-profit organizationsCelia Rico
- The document discusses collaborative translation in not-for-profit organizations with limited resources, focusing on Inmigra-Term, a multilingual terminology bank on immigration.
- Inmigra-Term uses the TBX format specification, which allows platform independence and exchange/interoperability of terms. The XML structure follows an onomasiological approach from concept to term.
- The terminology bank provides a multilingual interface in 7 languages, including Spanish, English, French, Romanian, Arabic and Chinese. Preliminary search results demonstrate its functionality as a collaborative translation platform.
This document discusses crisis and interaction design lessons from the 2010 Haiti earthquake. It makes three key points:
1. Survival is a universal theme in times of crisis.
2. Information management presents opportunities for helping people in crisis situations. The Haiti earthquake response showed how crowdsourcing information about needs and emergencies could help over 3 million survivors.
3. While "crowdsourcing" models are impressive, true collaboration between a core team and network of supporters is more effective than automation alone. Designing crisis response systems requires focusing on leadership, participation levels, listening, data entry, translation, flexibility and other factors.

La provincia de Almería es conocida por sus paisajes desérticos y su producción agrícola bajo plástico. El fotógrafo D. Leiva capturó imágenes representativas de esta zona del sureste español, mostrando las extensiones de invernaderos que permiten cultivar todo el año así como los parajes áridos que caracterizan el paisaje. Sus fotografías muestran la dualidad entre la naturaleza desértica y la agricultura intensiva que definen esta región.
God wants each person to become the best version of themselves by developing their unique talents and strengths. To do so requires focusing on personal growth through daily prayer and Bible study, making choices that honor God, and surrounding oneself with people who encourage spiritual development rather than compromise values.

The document outlines the four steps to creating an effective social media campaign for a business: 1) Monitoring what is being said about the brand and competitors online, 2) Planning the strategy, tools, and goals of the campaign, 3) Implementing the campaign through various social media platforms, and 4) Evaluating the results and monitoring achievement of goals to make adjustments as needed. It emphasizes the importance of monitoring social conversations and provides examples of social media disasters that resulted from a lack of monitoring.
