The document provides the tentative schedule for the Ninth Annual Conference of the International Association for Intelligence Education (IAFIE) to be held from May 20-23, 2013 in El Paso, Texas. The conference will include sessions on intelligence education practices, challenges in cybersecurity education, security issues in Asia-Pacific, the role of games in teaching intelligence, and lessons from intelligence internships. Keynote speakers will address topics such as unfinished intelligence reform, challenges facing Air Force intelligence, and cyber security threats.
The document discusses the growing use of mobile devices and explores opportunities for mobile learning or mLearning in higher education settings. Some key points:
- Nearly all college students own mobile phones and use text messaging frequently.
- mLearning is defined as any learning that occurs when the learner is mobile, taking advantage of mobile technologies.
- Possible mLearning applications discussed include using text messaging for class reminders, polls and surveys, mobile video streaming, and social media like Twitter.
- Challenges to mLearning include potential increased cheating and distractions, but many opportunities exist to harness mobile technologies for teaching and learning.
This is my basic understanding about the key things to be kept in mind while starting/working in a Start Up.
Suggestion and criticism welcome.

White-cheeked gibbons live in the high canopy of tropical rainforests in Southeast Asia. They eat berries, buds, young plants, and fruits that they grab and feed on while hanging from branches using their long arms and hands adapted for climbing. The males defend the family's territory every 5 days from intruders by chasing them out to protect their home range and family. Their adaptations include thumbs that extend from the wrist and index fingers for grasping fruits while hanging and a small body suited for life in the forest canopy.
The document discusses lions and their habitat and behaviors. It notes that lions live in groups called prides and use their strong hind legs, good night vision, acute sense of smell, and ability to roar over long distances to successfully hunt prey at night and rest during the day. Female lions do most of the hunting for the group. The document provides information from sources like Bing and Wikipedia on lions.
Wengines, Workflows, and 2 years of advanced data processing in Apache OODTChris Mattmann
With the advent of OODT-215 and OODT-491, there has been a tremendous amount of work to port our next generation Workflow Management system (cutely dubbed "WEngine" for "workflow engine") from an isolated branch into the mainline trunk.
The WEngine system brings amazing advantages including explicit support for branch and bounds in workflow models; prioritized thread pooling and queueing on a per task, and per workflow level; global workflow level conditions (pre and post); condition and workflow timeouts, and an entirely new and more descriptive state model complete with failure codes, and with checkpointing.
WEngine is currently processing the NPOESS Preparatory Project (NPP) PEATE testbed and its thousands of jobs per day, and is being slowly introduced into processing of an entire snow and ice climatology for the Western US and Alaska for the U.S. National Climate Assessment (NCA), working with the world's best snow hydrologists and snow scientists.
With all of those new features, what's an Apache OODT user and fan to do? How can you use WEngine in your system? How does it work today? How will it work tomorrow? We'll answer those questions and more in this fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants exciting super talk!
The document discusses the growth of text messaging and argues that predictions that it would not catch on have been proven wrong by the 6.1 trillion text messages sent annually. It provides examples of how text messaging is used for a variety of purposes including disaster communication, entertainment, customer service, and scheduling. The document also discusses how text messaging began as an unintended feature of mobile phones and has become a mainstream form of communication.

The document discusses the bobcat, including its habitat across parts of North America including mountains, swamps, and deserts. It hunts small animals like rabbits, rats, and mice, as well as larger prey twice its size. Bobcats hunt primarily at dawn and dusk, using camouflage from their spotted fur to ambush prey and sharp claws and teeth to catch it. They are solitary hunters that change fur color with the seasons.
This document provides information on several online tools that can be used to facilitate collaboration in 21st century classrooms. It describes how Skype allows video conferencing with experts and authors, Wikis enable group problem solving and discussion, and VoiceThread facilitates student reports and reviews. It also lists EPALS for connecting with pen pals, the National Math Trail for sharing math work, Tikatok for publishing classroom books, and Storybird and Xtranormal for creating digital stories and movies. Glogster and Techno Spuds are mentioned as tools for digital posters and collaborative projects.
Black bears live in the forests of North Carolina, where they eat yellow jackets, meat, and other foods as omnivores. They survive by protecting themselves from predators, hibernate in winter, and vary widely in weight from 300 pounds for females to over 800 pounds for some males.
Red squirrels live across Europe, East Asia, and Hokkaido, eating conifer cones and fruit but not hunting other animals. They build nests called "dyers" in trees for breeding and shelter. Red squirrel populations have declined in Britain due to competition from introduced gray squirrels, but they remain common elsewhere in Europe and Asia, feeding mainly on conifer cones along with fungi and fruit during summer.
The dying poison dart frog is a slender, black frog with golden stripes and blue legs and feet. It lives in forests in Amazonia and the Guyanas. It eats ants and termites, and secretes toxic alkaloids from its skin that serve as a defense against predators and come in bright warning colors. The female lays small clutches of 2-10 eggs on leaves or the ground, and the tadpoles develop on the backs of the parents before metamorphosing over 8-12 weeks. While poisonous, these frogs are not currently threatened in the wild, though some species are vulnerable. Their toxins are also being studied for potential medical applications.
This document summarizes a study on how air traffic controllers use experience to coordinate their work. The study observed controllers at two air traffic control centers over 11 days. Experience was the most commonly referenced factor in coordinating responses to disturbances. Experience enables coordinative work by combining specialist knowledge and allows controllers to pragmatically coordinate in non-proceduralized situations or those with low-frequency events and a short time horizon. The study findings provide insight into how experience facilitates complex coordinative work in air traffic control operations.
This document discusses several theories of aging and age-related changes. It covers rate-of-living theories, cellular theories, and programmed cell death theories of aging. It also discusses how biological and physiological forces interact in aging. Additionally, it outlines learning objectives related to changes in various body systems with age like the cardiovascular, respiratory, reproductive, nervous, and sensory systems.
The Arctic fox lives in the Arctic region and has white fur to blend in with the snow. It hunts small animals like lemmings and birds for food. The Arctic fox will also scavenge leftovers from polar bears. When raising its young, the male fox searches for food while the female cares for the family. The Arctic fox uses camouflage and trickery to evade predators and hunters in its snow-covered habitat.
