The document summarizes the daily activities and lessons from a writing class. It describes:
- A morning free write activity quoting Paul Laurence Dunbar.
- Presentations from students on various informative topics like newspapers, governments, butterflies and more.
- A lecture on opinion and argument writing focusing on using evidence to support claims.
- Book club meetings and a portfolio reflection activity where students reviewed their narrative, informative pieces and free writes.
A short story during yesterday's AcceptEmail seminar 'Finance meets Marketing' on how brands may benefit when CFO's reach out to CMO's to create a seamless, positive customer journey and brand experience. If acting upon insights in individual consumer behavior and preferences brands may benefit from lower operational costs, increased NPS scores and positive turnover. Remember: the marketing game actually starts after the initial sale. I.e.: Live up to your promises.
The document discusses strategies for IT leaders who feel overwhelmed by hiring challenges. It identifies four primary barriers to effective hiring: lack of time for hiring in IT departments, financial constraints, talent shortages, and candidates' desires for flexibility. It then provides five strategies to help with hiring: building a stronger business case for hiring, streamlining hiring processes, focusing current staff on higher priority "big rocks" and using contractors for other tasks, using staff augmentation more strategically to address capacity issues, and partnering with staffing vendors who understand needs. The strategies are aimed at helping IT leaders feel less overwhelmed and better able to hire effectively.
The document is a program outline for a week-long outdoor education trip organized by the Toronto Catholic District School Board's Outdoor Education Department. It will involve spiritual growth activities, orienteering, wilderness survival skills training, a ropes course, reenactments of fur trade and settler games, and a wolf prowl simulation. Students are reminded to bring cameras but leave behind medications, electronics, junk food, and are able to call home. The trip aims to be an engaging week of outdoor learning experiences.

This document discusses open access and digital repositories. It provides information on different types of open access, including gold and green open access. It summarizes growth in open access repositories and benefits for researchers, including increased visibility and impact. The document then discusses Iowa State University's digital repository, including contributions to date, readership statistics, and how researchers and departments can contribute works.
1. The document discusses statistics related to population, researchers, GDP, higher education and research funding in the US and Europe. Europe has a higher population but fewer researchers than the US, resulting in a deficit of around 0.85 million researchers.
2. It proposes that if public-private partnerships (PPPs) can be used to build roads, why not also use them to fund innovative research. Only around 60% of European business expenditure on research comes from businesses, compared to over 80% in the US.
3. The document stresses the importance of caring for and retaining human talent, which is the most important and valuable resource. However, it says Europe currently behaves as if it has an abundance of
Este documento describe un proyecto de programación de dos semanas en Python para estudiantes de 15-16 años. Los objetivos son aprender algoritmos básicos, Python y mejorar las habilidades en inglés. Los estudiantes trabajarán en equipos internacionales para crear rutinas matemáticas en Python mediante videoconferencias y plataformas colaborativas. El proyecto incluye actividades individuales y grupales como presentaciones, resolución de problemas y una competición final.
The document provides information about the Mansfield Outdoor Education Center operated by the Toronto Catholic District School Board. It details that the center hosts over 80 outdoor education excursions annually, accommodates over 90 students, and offers activities like orienteering, wilderness skills, and night sky viewing. A typical week involves outdoor activities after breakfast and community building in the evenings, with the goal of exploring students' relationships with others, the environment, and their spirituality.
In order to simplify and consolidate HLS installations, Visionary Solutions created the PackeTV® Mobile HLS, a single device that performs content preparation and delivery. This integrated file server can support hundreds of users, eliminating the need for content delivery network (CDN) services.
Equipped with two gigabit Ethernet ports that provide a substantial amount of network bandwidth, the unit can store hundreds of hours of pre-recorded content. The entry-level system is housed in a single, compact 1RU chassis that fits perfectly into any standard 20-inch deep AV rack.
The PackeTV® Mobile HLS server supports all of the functions needed to accept H.264 video streams (real-time or file-based) and deliver HLS streams, including content
preparation, file storage, and content delivery. All of this functionality is contained within a server that has been specifically designed to optimize throughput and ease of use. PackeTV® Mobile HLS dramatically lowers operational costs compared with systems that use traditional streaming CDNs to simultaneously distribute video to multiple clients. System ownership ensures seamless, around-the-clock availability of the video streams. Each video stream can be published once and made available to all viewers with a simple set of user commands. Occasional users will find that this single, integrated system eliminates much of the configuration complexity that normally occurs when multiple subsystems from different manufacturers and service providers need to be integrated to form a complete solution. Heavy users will appreciate the flexibility that is available within the device configuration menus, which allow system operations to be customized to accommodate a wide range of bit rates, signal formats, and target devices. Also, because standard HTTP
Web-server technologies are used for content delivery, the added fees required for high throughput streaming service providers such as CDNs are eliminated, saving the content
provider money. With an on-site PackeTV® Mobile HLS, content asset management can be greatly simplified and centralized on a single server. A single video file can be created and delivered to an organization’s internal and external viewers, eliminating the need to manage multiple streams on different servers. Network bandwidth is also used more efficiently, as chunks can be downloaded quickly, and each client device only consumes as much data as the quality of their network connection allows More than half of all overall video consumption is consumed on a Wi-Fi device, according to Streaming Media, so content providers must make mobile content delivery an immediate priority.
