"5 Things in 5 Minutes" Series No.4 - "Mr. Banker, 5-Reasons Why the Bank Nee...Arun Cavale Cavale
Traditionally, Banks have feared Cloud, partly due to regulatory reasons, partly due to data security and other reasons. However, as some pioneering banks around the world have shown, there is a way. And as are increasingly discovering, Cloud will not be an option, but an imperative for Banks.
What's driving this? For starters, the changing systems of engagement with customers. Yes, as banking customers, particularly, retail banking customers, start demanding that their banks are available to them 24x7, across a multitude of channels, "on demand" - banks are driven to engage using new channels: mobile, social media. This introduction to the API-engagement models is driving entirely new workloads for the Banks' infrastructure. Cloud is the only way they can cope with this new engagement model.
In this short 5-minute deck, I present 5 reasons why Banks need cloud today.

The document describes an MDV framework for building web applications called Adstream. It was developed internally by Adstream Holdings and is available under a BSD license. The framework separates concerns between the frontend and backend with a clear division of model, view, and controller roles. The model uses a virtual object layer and REST mapping. The view layer uses the dojox.jtlc template engine. Controllers are implemented with plain Dojo and handle application flow and connecting the model and view. An example forum application built with the framework is also mentioned.

The document discusses the nature of light and darkness from several perspectives. It notes that while dictionaries define darkness as the absence of light, physics views light as both a particle and wave. It also explores where light is absent, creating darkness, such as in empty space, black holes, and underground. The document then discusses how anatomy sees light as necessary for vision and examines variations in rod density between human and owl retinas. Finally, it considers how darkness can be measured and quantified in terms of the limiting magnitude of stars visible to the naked eye in locations with different levels of light pollution.

Legacies From Scratch Presentation Sheffield Hallam Sept 09Graham Richards
Legacies are an important potential source of voluntary income for charities. While major charities spend large amounts on advertising campaigns, smaller charities can start legacy fundraising from where they are with minimal costs. Researching previous legacies and current supporters over age 50 is recommended. Developing a legacy fundraising strategy and including simple legacy messages in existing communications can help promote legacies without large investments. Future opportunities include targeting specific groups like single or childless individuals.

Introducing a digital skills certificate to improve student engagement
Speaker: Ben Gill, IT trainer and adviser, University of Lancaster.
This session will introduce you to the “Lancaster Digital Skills Certificate”. Initially aimed at Lancaster University students, the certificate was designed in-house and aims to enhance digital skills for both study and for employability. We’ll explore how digital badges are used to engage students, how the certificate has been integrated with the existing Lancaster award, how the use of free apps such as Moodle and Xerte was maximised during design, and what the end product actually looks like. The session will finish with an overview of challenges faced and key takeaways which will be useful for anyone looking to develop programmes for online digital skills development.
