This document describes the M.A.P.S. project, which aims to create a website that maps accessible museums and tourist sites for deaf people. The website will provide descriptions with accessible texts and videos in Italian Sign Language, International Signs, and American Sign Language to allow deaf and deaf-blind people to independently access information about cultural locations and events. The project seeks to address the social exclusion deaf people often face due to the lack of accessibility to communication and information at many tourist attractions and cultural sites. By gathering this information in one accessible online space, M.A.P.S. intends to have great social utility for the deaf community.

The company was in financial trouble last year and at a loss. As the new CEO, I would have the company ante up funds at all costs to get back on its feet, cut costs across the board, and ensure it gets the most bang for its buck to turn a profit this year.

The document discusses several studies on the cell cycle and cell division. It describes how small signaling molecules like c-di-GMP act as a control switch to allow cells to progress through different phases of the cell cycle. Another study found that dividing cells do not always add the same amount of mass before dividing, challenging previous conclusions. Understanding how cells control and regulate division is important for learning about related pathologies like cancer. Further discovery of molecules involved in the cell cycle process could help repair defects and potentially lead to cures.

Raise the Wage Silicon Valley
This document discusses efforts to raise the minimum wage in Silicon Valley on a regional level. It provides background on the Raise the Wage Coalition and their goal of working regionally across cities. Data is presented showing that low-wage workers are often older adults and work for large, profitable companies. Studies found no negative impacts to employment from minimum wage increases in other cities like San Jose. Several Bay Area cities have already passed minimum wage increases. The document advocates adopting a regional model based on Mountain View's proposed schedule to raise the minimum wage to $15/hour by 2018 across multiple cities in Silicon Valley.

The document describes a project for a CUV (Ultralight Versatile Tiltrotor), which would be the lightest two-engine aircraft in the world. It would use counter-rotating propellers and a special harness to function as both a plane and helicopter. The CUV would have applications in rescue operations, patrols, equipment transport, and scientific research, providing mobility in remote or difficult to access areas. The authors propose starting a company to produce the CUV, with plans to build 1000 units in the first year, reach the break-even point within a year, and ongoing investments in marketing, R&D, and continuous improvement.
From quantified selves to the Fitbit-free masses
Is it time we stopped indulging the quantified selves to focus on the bigger prize of improving the health of nations?
Behaviour change expert Stuart Bowden highlights how to use passive data from open sources to guide health decisions. He will illustrate how this data can be used to actively move people who are disengaged with their health to make and sustain positive change.
In 20 years’ experience, Bowden has worked with and consulted for numerous government bodies and private sector businesses using geographical search, emotional and social response data to trigger people into action. In the session, he will discuss how the scale of this opportunity far outweighs the quantified self.
Psalms of Leon
Leon praises Jehovah, the holy King in heaven, for being magnificent and for setting the perfect example through Jesus. He asks God to purify his thoughts and guide him. In subsequent passages, Leon praises God for creating nature, providing for all, and loving all. He sees Jesus as the sacrificial lamb and king of the universe. Leon asks God for protection from enemies, mercy for sins, and help in loving others. He expresses gratitude to Jesus for sustaining him through challenges and promises never to worship another god. In the final passage, Leon calls Jesus a mighty warrior and perfect God who supplies all his needs and gives life.

Contribution as part of the SXSW 2014 panel "100 Years of Oversharing: Tools for Time Travel" - http://schedule.sxsw.com/2014/events/event_IAP21645 @johanoomen
A typed journal from WWI passed on through generations fuels a young man's dreams of time travel and allows us to explore the power of personal stories and photos. Together with archival collections, these items take us through space and time, and the magical ability of cultural memory institutions to help individuals bring these incredibly compelling dreams to life. The World Wide Web provides the cultural, technological, and legal frameworks to open the doors to innovation and imagination, and also enables libraries, archives and museums the world over to play a critical role. We explore some of the diverse efforts to bring stories and memory to life in new ways, while also fostering open data and preservation, and the pros and cons at the intersection of public domain and private enterprise.
ICOM Moscow 2014 with audio - The Virtual Museum
The document discusses the definition and qualities of a virtual museum. It summarizes initial work by the V-Must network to rethink the concept of virtual museums in light of emerging digital technologies. The network has identified and mapped tools and services that define and support virtual museums in the heritage sector. A virtual museum is defined as a digital entity that draws on characteristics of a physical museum to complement, enhance, or augment the museum experience through personalization, interactivity and rich content. Virtual museums can act as the digital presence of a physical museum or independently while maintaining the authoritative status of museums as defined by ICOM.
Virtual Heritage app and re-use
This document discusses how 3D cultural heritage applications can create new links between places and help promote local cultural resources. It describes a series of projects in Bologna, Italy that reused 3D assets from an initial project called "Apa the Etruscan" to create additional applications. These included a Machinima archaeological narration, an augmented reality application coupled with an online game, additional scenes for museums, and a project supporting UNESCO recognition of Bologna's porticoes. The reuse of 3D models across these projects helped optimize costs and speed up productions while reaching wider audiences. The document argues this approach can effectively promote cultural heritage through engaging content and expanded networks of references between places.

The Historical and Folklore Museum of Nikiti aims to showcase the history and culture of the village of Nikiti through a collection of over 1,500 objects. However, the museum faces challenges of limited resources, funding, and communication. To address this, temporary art installations were set up outside the museum to promote it, attracting visitors who then shared about their experiences online. Partnering with local businesses for events like open-air cinema and concerts helped increase awareness of the museum in innovative ways. Continued engagement with the community is needed to establish sustainable solutions for these initial challenges.

The document describes a proposed mobile app called FrEAk that aims to promote nutrition education and reduce food waste. Some key facts presented are that 43% of Italians suffer from food intolerances, 10% feel they have an intolerance, and €8.1 million worth of food is wasted in Italy annually. The app would provide personalized nutrition plans, connect users to specialists, teach healthy habits and food respect to reduce waste, and help allergic/intolerant people by ensuring medical support. The goals are to increase knowledge about food, promote awareness of waste, and support conscious food choices to prevent diseases.

This document describes a project submitted by Federico Merz for an award focused on energy and the environment. The project proposes a method for producing clean electric energy from organic waste using microbial fuel cells. The microbial fuel cells utilize bacteria to produce an electron and proton gradient from organic waste to generate electricity. The system is capable of producing 15-9 watt hours of energy to charge a battery with 216 watt hours of autonomy while the organic waste undergoes composting.

The document proposes a project called Regenera that uses crowdfunding and an online platform to fund and select proposals for urban regeneration projects. Citizens would use a mobile app to identify areas needing regeneration and then discuss, fundraise and vote on proposals submitted by designers and architects. Funded projects would be carried out by local authorities. The goals are to regenerate towns, strengthen communities and reduce public spending through this participatory process. A financial plan projects profitability within three years of operation.

This document describes a proposed product called "Garden in the Air", which is a DIY kit containing materials to assemble a plexiglass case that can be placed near a chimney. The case would contain a plant that helps clean emissions from the heating system. The product aims to improve urban aesthetics by highlighting local plants and lowering the environmental impact of heating. It is proposed to first sell the kits at nurseries in the Puglia region of Italy then expand to ironmongeries. Financial projections estimate it will take 5 years for the craft business to become profitable as the product line is expanded.

The document describes a micro anaerobic digestor project that converts food scraps and livestock waste into biogas and fertilizer. The digestor uses methanigen bacteria to break down inputs into outputs of biogas, electricity, heat, and fertilizer. It has advantages over traditional energy sources like being continuous, small-scale for personalized use, reducing CO2 emissions, and exemplifying a circular economy. The project estimates it would cost 64,000 Euro to set up but generate enough revenue from electricity sales in 9.2 years to pay it back and provide high returns over its 30-year lifespan. It concludes by inviting interested parties to contact the author for more information or to become project partners.

This document discusses a project called "Coffee Made" which aims to create value from coffee waste in a circular economy model. Coffee Made would collect coffee grounds and chaff from coffee production and use them to create biodegradable and recycled products like cups, coasters and bags. This would provide environmental benefits by reducing waste and emissions. It would also benefit coffee farmers by improving waste management practices and soil quality. The proposal discusses marketing the products online and in coffee shops to raise awareness of environmental and social issues in coffee production.

This document describes a student project that aims to create edible influenza vaccines using genetically engineered plant viruses. The plant viruses would be modified to produce fragments of the influenza virus within vegetables and fruits. People could be vaccinated by eating these plants, avoiding the need for injections. Benefits include no toxic adjuvants, cleaner production without medical equipment or personnel needed. The project involves selecting a plant virus vector, engineering it to carry influenza virus DNA, testing in plant cells, then growing and packaging the plants to develop an oral vaccine marketed especially to developing countries.
