South east kowloon development kai tak approach channel reclamation.FelixGao
The document provides project details for the South East Kowloon Development - Kai Tak Approach Channel Reclamation project. It involves reclaiming approximately 28 hectares of land from the Kai Tak Approach Channel to accommodate planned development. Key aspects of the project include remediating contaminated sediments, extending drainage systems, and constructing advance portions of road tunnels. The project is expected to take approximately 5 years to complete and could interact with other nearby development projects.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for both physical and mental health. It notes that regular exercise can reduce the risk of diseases like heart disease and diabetes, improve mood, and reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. The document recommends that adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise per week to gain these benefits.
The document outlines the agenda for the Maghreb Association of North America's (MANA) election day program on February 19, 2012. The program includes an introduction by the current president, presentations on MANA's master plan and potential community center, and elections for new board members. The master plan discusses organizational structure, programs and committees for religious, cultural, social and educational activities. Issues like membership campaigns and establishing a community center are also covered. The document proposes a central direction committee and ad-hoc committees to oversee MANA's strategic growth and coordination between subcommittees.
The document discusses several careers across various fields including science and technology, healthcare, business and finance, and creative and service industries. For each career, it provides information on job description, education and preparation required, median salary, and expected growth outlook. Some of the top careers mentioned include computer science, nursing, accounting, market research analysis, and film/video editing. Education requirements range from associate's degrees to bachelor's degrees depending on the specific role. Median salaries provided are generally between $50,000 to $90,000 annually depending on the field and most careers are expected to see growth rates between 10-30% over the next decade.
This document presents a doctoral thesis on location-based transmedia storytelling and its potential to enhance the tourism experience. It begins with acknowledgements and then provides an abstract in English and Portuguese. The thesis contains several case studies of existing transmedia storytelling and location-based games projects. It also details the design, implementation and results of an original pilot project called TravelPlot Porto, which used transmedia storytelling across mobile applications, websites and social networks to tell a story about the city of Porto, Portugal. The findings revealed that transmedia storytelling has the potential to make tourist visits more engaging by satisfying specific tourist needs. It can be an effective tool for future tourism marketing strategies by directly increasing destination engagement and visibility

This document discusses using different database technologies for an online football management game. It will use MongoDB to store user data like user leagues, teams and player data. It will also interface with legacy MS SQL Server and MySQL databases for static data like clubs, players, and leagues. The Python framework Pylons and ORM SQLAlchemy will be used to interact with the SQL databases, while MongoEngine ORM will be used for MongoDB. Caching may be implemented to store static data in memory. Sharding may also be used to scale MongoDB as user data grows substantially.
The document discusses various techniques for working with data in Python including:
- Creating CSV files from data using the csv module
- Generating image charts from data using a drawing library
- Setting up Django to work with a database
- Importing and cleaning data
- Using Fabric to deploy code to servers from Git repositories
It provides examples of commands and code snippets for these tasks.
This document provides an overview of using Git properly, including basic concepts like the local repository, commit tree, branches and remotes. It discusses best practices like committing often, using rebase instead of merge, and strategies for working with feature branches. It also covers how to recover from issues like merge conflicts, undoing rebases, and finding past commits. Configuration options and resources for learning more about Git are presented at the end.
Do more than one thing at the same time, the Python wayJaime Buelta
The document discusses doing more than one thing at a time in Python using threads and processes. It describes how to create threads using the threading module and processes using the multiprocessing module. While threads are easier to use, the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) in Python prevents true parallelism. Processes can better utilize multiple CPUs but require more work for communication. Asynchronous programming is recommended for I/O-bound tasks while processes are better for CPU-bound work. The talk cautions that threading should be used carefully in Python due to the GIL.
This document discusses principles for writing readable Python code, including locality, consistency, and verbosity. It emphasizes that code should be written to be easily understood rather than clever, with related elements kept together, common patterns used consistently, and explanations provided through comments when the code is not obvious. The goal is for code to fit easily in the reader's head so it can be maintained and built upon over time by others, including the original author.
The document provides guidelines for media covering the 2nd Asia-Pacific Water Summit in Chiang Mai, Thailand from May 14-20, 2013. It outlines the accreditation process, facilities available including a media center, and protocols for media coverage of events. A media pass is required for access to the media center and events, and can be obtained at the media registration counter by presenting photo ID from May 13-20. The document also provides details on press conferences, internet access, dress code, transportation and customs requirements.
