This document discusses managing deliveries in busy city centers. It notes that increasing populations, demand, and congestion are placing constraints on delivery infrastructure. Left uncontrolled, delivery traffic can swarm cities like traffic. However, the document proposes that delivery traffic can be managed like ant trails through a system called MobileDOCK. MobileDOCK allows carriers to book loading zones and dock spaces in advance. It provides visibility of deliveries and reduces dwell times and congestion. The system benefits carriers, receivers, and cities by coordinating deliveries.
PickTaxi is an automated location-based taxi booking service that can be access from smartphones or web. PickTaxi will use several algorithms to optimize the matching between the rider and the taxi.
Over the last decade I was involved with a P&C insurer doing various projects & initiatives.
They were substantial and valuable activities, but all were focused on the near term and essentially dealing with the status quo.
During my last week, when I was wrapping up my last project I was asked “what issues should they look out for that would need to be addressed in the longer term?”
Great question, but I hadn’t put any thought into that so there was no insightful or useful answer I could share.
But… …I got to thinking.
Autonomous Vehicles are coming and they are supposed to have a big impact. What exactly would it be? Maybe a dip or shift, just another ripple & then things would carry on as normal, a real change, what exactly?
So I started doing some research and concluded that the end game was Fully Autonomous Rides; which led me to the conclusion that this will be the single biggest disruption since the first large scale industrial revolution driven by steam technology.
The computer finally completely displaces the driver… …and then?
Everything will be affected and nothing will be able to avoid some ripple crashing through their safe havens.
I’ve shared very specific scenarios that can be tracked, so we can watch it unfold with a game plan.
And to answer the question posed by the P&C exec…
.... You need to plan for the entire collapse of your industry;
it is only 10 to 15 years away.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
