The document outlines the steps taken by an organization to transition to Agile. It assesses the current practices, identifies areas for improvement, runs two pilot projects using Scrum-derived frameworks with training and coaching. Post-pilot surveys found improvements in requirements, planning, quality, and teamwork. Based on this success, eight more teams were selected for Agile transition.
A Clever Way to Scale-out a Web ApplicationKazuho Oku
This document describes techniques for scaling out a web application across multiple database shards. It introduces Incline, which handles denormalization and data replication between shards transparently using triggers and queue tables. It also discusses Pacific utilities like mysqld_jumpstart for provisioning MySQL instances and pacific_divide for splitting shards without downtime. Incline addresses issues with complex queries and consistency across shards under an eventual consistency model.

Group Concpet Mapping Learning Analytics @ LASI Amsterdam Hendrik Drachsler
This document describes Group Concept Mapping (GCM), a structured approach to identify a group's common understanding of an issue. GCM involves participants generating, sorting, and rating ideas to build a conceptual map showing thematic clusters. The document outlines the GCM process, including idea generation, sorting by similarity, rating by values, analysis, interpretation, and utilization. It then provides examples of cluster maps, ratings maps, and other outputs from GCM analysis. The document concludes by planning a GCM study on learning analytics to be conducted with participants over the summer.
The document discusses the mechanisms and effects of global warming. It explains that greenhouse gases in the atmosphere reflect heat from the sun back towards the Earth's surface, causing temperatures to rise. Some of the effects mentioned include rising sea levels, melting glaciers, more extreme weather events like floods and droughts, as well as impacts on plants, animals and human communities. The document also provides current examples, noting that between 1900-2000 sea levels rose 10-20cm, glaciers are retreating in mountain ranges, and severe forest fires occurred in 2003 in Russia, America and Portugal due to heat and drought. Plans to address global warming focus on developing renewable energy, promoting energy efficiency, and increasing carbon absorption through activities like tree planting.

This document discusses the convergence of content and technologies to enable content prosumption. It notes that users want access to data everywhere and at all times. This leads to opportunities for innovative user experiences, data navigation, syndication, and monetization. The market is prepared for these opportunities with growing areas like digital marketing, social networks, and second screens. Future directions include developing a coherent data ecosystem, personalization based on user context, multi-device experiences, and maximizing collaboration between related projects.

El documento critica la presencia de ídolos y estatuas en la República Islámica de Irán, alegando que esto contradice las enseñanzas del Islam sobre la prohibición de imágenes. Señala que muchas figuras importantes en Irán, como comandantes militares y clérigos chiíes, tienen estatuas erigidas en su honor, similar a las prácticas paganas descritas en el Corán. También acusa al estado iraní de revivir prácticas como llorar ruidosamente por los muertos,
The document discusses caching and the Memcached caching system. It describes Memcached as an in-memory key-value store that provides fast access to data at low latency compared to accessing data from local disks. It also summarizes the Cache::Memcached::Fast Perl module for interacting with Memcached and proposes developing a simplified Agile API to make caching easier to use and support features like automatic invalidation through versioning.
This document provides an overview of switching from Java to Groovy. It discusses installing and running Groovy, basic Groovy concepts like "Hello World" examples, lists, maps, and more. Templates, resources, and books for learning Groovy are also referenced. The document is intended to introduce developers to Groovy and highlight improvements and differences over Java.

The document discusses different types of frames that can be used to organize content on a web page, including:
- Horizontal frames that divide the page into sections side-by-side.
- Vertical frames that divide the page into sections stacked vertically.
- Mixed frames that use both horizontal and vertical divisions.
- Inline frames that display within the normal page content rather than dividing the entire page.
- Nested frames where one frame is contained entirely within another frame.
The document provides examples of code to create each type of frame and screenshots of example page layouts using different framing techniques. Hands-on exercises are also included to practice implementing frames.
The document discusses a workshop on using CKAN for research data management. It provides examples of requirements formatted as user stories, with "As a user, I want to do X, so that I can achieve Y". The document also discusses constraints that may affect the design like resourcing, existing technology decisions, and social constraints. Participants were divided into user types to create wish lists and requirements were said to evolve through negotiation and clarification during development.
Towards the Cytoscape CyberinfrastructureKeiichiro Ono
1) The document discusses ongoing projects at the Cytoscape Core Developer Team to integrate Cytoscape into larger computational workflows by sharing data and computing resources over the network.
2) This will utilize standard tools like RStudio and IPython Notebook as primary workbenches for advanced users.
3) One project is a simple web application called CyNetShare that allows sharing of network visualization using Cytoscape.js in a web browser.
This document discusses trends in web development, including technologies and tools. It covers languages like PHP, Ruby, and ActionScript, as well as frameworks like CakePHP, Ruby on Rails, and Drupal. Version control systems like Git and project management tools like JIRA and Redmine are also mentioned. The author discusses their experience building several web applications using these technologies over the past 2 years.
This document discusses how to divide web pages into frames. It covers horizontal, vertical, and mixed framesets. Frames allow dividing the browser window into rectangular sections to display multiple pages simultaneously. The frameset element divides the page into rows and columns, and frames are added to each section using the frame element along with the src attribute to specify the page to load. Hands-on examples and activities are provided to help learn and practice using different types of framesets.
1. The triangular slave trade involved three main steps: slaves were brought from Africa to the Americas, cash crops like cotton and tobacco grown by slaves in the Americas were traded for manufactured goods in England, and the goods were brought back to Africa to trade for more slaves, completing the triangle.
2. Conditions on slave ships were horrific. Slaves were packed tightly into the ships in inhumane conditions where many died of disease or suffocation before reaching the Americas.
3. Southern slave owners believed blacks were racially inferior and used this belief to justify harsh treatment of slaves and the institution of slavery overall.
People are often unreasonable and self-centered, so one should continue being kind, honest, and doing good for others regardless of how they may react. The document advises to succeed in building things up, find happiness, and do good for the world despite risks of losing it all or others becoming jealous, because ultimately one is only accountable to God rather than other people.
Este documento discute el problema del consumo de drogas en el trabajo. Explica que factores como el estrés laboral, las condiciones de trabajo y ciertas profesiones pueden conducir al uso de drogas. También describe posibles conductas que indican consumo, como impuntualidad y bajo rendimiento. Finalmente, detalla consecuencias como ausentismo, conflictos y degradación laboral.

2. Fin dalle prime lezioni di analisi si apprende che: E dalla trigonometria si sa che: Inoltre é chiaro a tutti che:
3. Da ció risulta Nella forma: Come tutti possono facilmente comprendere e ricordare.
5. Da ció risulta che: Da ció risulta una forma semplificata dell‘equazione precedente:
6. Se inoltre consideriamo che: E ci ricordiamo che la matrice inversa della trasposta corrisponde alla trasposta dell‘inversa, possiamo, riferendoci ad uno spazio unidimensionale, introdurre un‘ulteriore semplificazione per mezzo del vettore X, e cioé:
8. Introducendo ora nella precedente eguaglianza Risulta nella forma semplificata, e a tutti meglio comprensibile: In maniera certamente piú rigorosa ed ingegneristicamente corretta della banale egualgianza
9. Si possono certamente trovare molte altre facili equazioni che corrispondono a: Ma per far ció bisogna attendere il corso di Analisi II o di meccanica razionale, o chiedere a un matematico.
