The document describes the basics of MongoDB, including that it uses databases containing collections which are made up of documents with fields. Collections can be indexed to improve performance of lookups and sorting. When data is retrieved from MongoDB, it is through a cursor which delays execution until needed. While similar concepts exist in relational databases, MongoDB's documents can have unique fields compared to tables with predefined columns.
The document summarizes updates to CANARIE's network including GOLEs and Lambda services. It discusses:
1) Expansion of the CANARIE SONET infrastructure with new GOLEs in Seattle, Chicago, and upgrades between cities.
2) Deployment of new routers including 5 Juniper MX480 routers in major cities and 20G L2SS cards and 10GE wavelength cards on Nortel OME6500 routers.
3) Interconnections between the new GOLEs and networks in the US, Asia, and Europe providing 10G connections.
The document summarizes a student presentation on the differences in Chinese New Year dos and don'ts between two generations in Hong Kong. A student team conducted surveys through questionnaires with 38 students and interviews with 38 older people to identify similarities and differences in how the generations celebrate Chinese New Year traditions related to clothing, food, and customs. The results showed that while there were some similarities, there were more differences, with older people feeling it was right to follow traditions and young people feeling they were forced by parents. The conclusion calls for schools to educate teenagers on the uniqueness of Chinese traditions.

The document describes a corporate training system that offers workshops, seminars, and certification programs on various business and professional development topics. Some of the topics covered include conflict management, presentation skills, leadership, human resources, customer service, team building, and women's seminars. Workshops range from 1 to 2 days and cover effective communication, conflict resolution, business writing, and supervision skills. Seminars include topics like stress management, meditation, and creative leadership. Certification programs are available in areas such as human resources, communication skills, and neuro-linguistic programming.
CANARIE is Canada's Advanced Research and Innovation Network that powers the country's innovation ecosystem. It enables nearly 200 Canadian universities and colleges and their collaborators worldwide to share and analyze large amounts of data. CANARIE develops next generation research networks and applications, funds network development and expansion, and supports regional networks and institutions. It also supports 'Big Science' projects and connects Canadian researchers to the global research community.
This study analyzed genetic variability in the Valdarnese Bianca chicken breed from Tuscany, Italy using microsatellite markers. 83 Valdarnese Bianca birds from 10 farms were genotyped at 8 microsatellite loci along with 3 Livornese Bianca and 3 commercial hybrid chickens as controls. A total of 73 alleles were detected across loci with heterozygosity ranging from 0.355 to 0.654. Significant deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were found in 5 farm populations. Genetic differences were detected between Valdarnese Bianca breeding stocks. The study provides a basic genetic characterization of the Valdarnese Bianca breed which can inform conservation efforts.
GOLE Next Generation Architecture Task ForceCANARIE Inc.
The document discusses the Next Generation Architecture Task Force and its objectives to develop future requirements and a reference architecture for GOLE (Global Optical Lightpath Exchange). It provides timelines and deliverables for the task force, including surveying current GOLE architectures, services, and requirements for the future. It also examines issues with the current HDXc architecture and need for a modernized reference GOLE architecture as well as expansion and replacement of equipment. Services currently supported are listed as SONET, Ethernet, VLAN tagging, and IP over Ethernet with MPLS seen as a potential future core switching method.
Critical Eye Anatomy Of A Crisis Insightsronhepburn
In a media-driven, reputation-sensitive era, successful management of not only
corporate risk, but corporate crises is essential to business survival. This ‘nutshell’
survival kit explored at a Criticaleye Discussion Group offers guidance, and
practical insight on the best way to safeguard corporate existence.
Cyber Infrastructure for Research & Education in Canada. What is Canada's vis...CANARIE Inc.
The document discusses Canada's vision for cyber infrastructure for research and education. It proposes developing a common infrastructure across facilities to provide a consistent user experience, rather than distinct infrastructures. This would involve building capacity for storage, repositories, standards, converters, and catalogues to share raw data, analyzed data, publications, and more between facilities. The goal is to position cyber infrastructure as a strategic priority and inform upcoming strategy and funding decisions.
Cyberinfrastructure and the Research Process in CanadaCANARIE Inc.
The document summarizes the findings of a workshop that discussed cyberinfrastructure and the research process in Canada. Key issues identified included fragmented funding, lack of advanced networks and middleware, need for more computing power and data storage. Suggested solutions were establishing a "Research Canada" organization to provide consolidated access to resources and expertise through a single application process. The vision for 2015 included this consolidation to create a one-stop shop for Canadian researchers' cyberinfrastructure needs.
- The document discusses agile usability testing conducted by fhios, a user experience research center, for a financial services provider redesigning websites for mortgages, savings, and bank accounts.
- Usability testing was conducted iteratively over 3 weeks with 45 participants testing low-fidelity prototypes in 3 iterations to identify usability issues and ensure the prototypes met user needs.
- Findings from each iteration were reported to developers and incorporated into the next iteration, allowing continuous user validation and improvements to be made quickly within sprints.
GOLE - HDXc Refresh. Next Generation ArchitectureCANARIE Inc.
The document discusses the need to refresh the HDXc architecture used in the Global Lambda Integrated Facility (GLIF) network due to the discontinuation of the HDXc equipment. It provides a timeline for selecting a next generation architecture and purchasing new equipment to replace the existing HDXc infrastructure by the end of 2011. A working group will define the new reference architecture and help select the appropriate vendors and equipment.
Crisis communications | Air France 447: a quick case studyronhepburn
Among the world’s most prepared communications professionals are those who, at the sharp end of mass transport, must be ready to respond to any catastrophe, 24-hours a day. Ship, plane or
rail disasters rank top among corporate crisis situations, bringing with them the tragic mix of multiple casualties, grieving relatives, recrimination and blame. Responding to the public’s morbid fascination with disaster, the media diverts all available resources to catch the wave of readership and viewing figures.
