The document compares and contrasts the governments of Bahrain and Singapore. Both are constitutional monarchies turned parliamentary republics that gained independence in the 1960s. Bahrain has a bicameral parliament and appointed prime minister, while Singapore has a unicameral parliament and elected president who appoints the prime minister. Their legal systems also differ, with Bahrain basing its judiciary on Islamic law and Singapore on English common law.
Ricardo Klatlovsky - Plugging In The Consumer: Results and Conclusions of the...Shane Mitchell
1) The document discusses key highlights from a paper about the implications of increased customer involvement, climate change concerns, and technology evolution for utilities.
2) Over 65% of consumers will pay more for lower greenhouse gas emissions, though most will only accept a very small monthly bill increase.
3) Most consumers want the option to choose their utility provider but many either cannot or do not know they can currently choose.
4) After years of indecision, a consensus timeline is emerging for exploiting integrated capabilities from advances in technology like the "Smart Grid" in North America within the next 6-10 years.
P90X presents a non-linear periodization model consisting of 6 phases that cycle through growth, recovery, and adaptive intensity periods to drive continuous muscle growth and strength gains.

Advertising agencies provide services like marketing analysis, creative development, media planning, and account management through departments like creative, media, research, and account services. Agencies make money through commissions typically around 15% of costs, fees based on hourly rates, and potential incentives tied to performance goals. Large agencies have also established their media departments as separate profit centers and many clients now view media as a separate service from creative and strategy.
Investigating Theft and Embezzlement - In the WorkplaceDecosimoCPAs
The document discusses forensic accounting and investigating theft and embezzlement in the workplace. It provides an overview of forensic accounting and how it differs from auditing, including that forensic accountants investigate suspected fraud while auditors do not presume its existence. Examples of different types of occupational fraud like asset misappropriation, corrupt payments, and financial statement fraud are also outlined.

Yes systems engineering, you are a disciplineJoseph KAsser
Systems engineering is currently characterized by conflicting and contradictory opinions on its nature. The paper begins by describing the evolution of systems engineering in the National Council on Systems Engineering (NCOSE)/ International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) and the difficulty in defining and differentiating systems engineering as a discipline. The paper then identifies and discusses six different and somewhat contradictory camps or perspectives of systems engineering. After identifying the cause of the contradictions the paper suggests one way to reconcile the camps is to dissolve the problem to distinguish between the activity known as systems engineering and the role of the systems engineer with a return to the old pre-NCOSE systems engineering paradigm. The paper then continues by testing the hypothesis and shows that systems engineering is a discipline that can be differentiated from other disciplines. However, it is not a traditional engineering discipline.

Australia is developing a national river health monitoring framework to standardize assessments across states. Trials of the Framework for Assessment of River and Wetland Health (FARWH) took place from 2005-2011. FARWH uses six indices - hydrology, physical form, catchment disturbance, fringing zone, aquatic biota, and water quality - to assess condition on a scale of 0 to 1. The trials found this approach was achievable but more work is needed to define reference conditions. A two-tiered assessment approach was proposed using broadscale desktop assessments followed by targeted field assessments. Five options were presented for national reporting ranging from the current jurisdictional approach to national reporting every 5 years with both broadscale and detailed field assessments
The document describes the layout and use of an open public space. Various groups utilize different areas of the space for different activities throughout the day, including viewers, walkers, skaters, listeners, gamers, and parkers. The document also discusses the spatial relationships between users and areas, how movement and activities shape the space over time, and options for the building materials and design of the space.
Pueblo Community College is experiencing record enrollment this fall, with full-time enrollment up over 22%. The college is playing a key role in the local economy by training skilled workers. Pueblo CC is well-positioned to take advantage of federal stimulus funding opportunities. Enrollment is up due to the weak economy, cost savings compared to 4-year schools, and growth in dual enrollment programs. Improvements to campus and technology have enhanced the student experience. The college provides training programs aligned with current and future in-demand jobs.
Sociable Media: Seven ways to connect on line and offline social experiences ...Hyperspace USA
This document outlines seven ways that advertisers can leverage online social networks, real-world social networks, mobile technology, and out-of-home media to create "Sociable Media" and boost engagement, advocacy, and brand affinity. It introduces the four elements that are converging to create new communication opportunities, and provides background on online social networks, real-world social interaction, and the growth of mobile technology. The full paper will then outline seven specific ways for advertisers to combine these channels.
This document discusses factors that affect testability and strategies for improving testability. It defines testability as the ability to produce tests to verify complex systems. Higher testability allows for more effective testing with the same resources. The document identifies controllability and observability as the main factors that determine a system's testability. It provides examples of how characteristics like complexity, non-determinism, and lack of visibility into state diminish testability. Techniques for improving testability include adding points of control and observation, using state test helpers, building tests into the system, and designing for well-structured and deterministic code.

The FAA enforcement process typically begins with an investigation that can be triggered by an incident report, complaint, or routine inspection. This may result in a letter of investigation requiring a response. Further actions include warning notices, remedial training, certificate suspensions or revocations. Pilots can request informal conferences and hearings with administrative law judges to resolve matters. Higher appeals go to the NTSB and federal courts. Pilots should seek legal counsel and comply with investigations while avoiding admissions to minimize penalties.

The document summarizes key points from a workshop on developing impact pathways for projects.
1. The workshop discussed making impact pathways (how projects create change) explicit in order to improve project practice and impact. Explicit impact pathways can help with planning, evaluation, program integration, and ex-post impact assessment.
2. The workshop introduced the Pathways of Influence, Performance and Adoption (PIPA) approach for making impact pathways explicit. PIPA develops two perspectives - a problem tree showing how project outputs address problems to achieve goals, and network maps showing the relationships needed over time to achieve goals.
3. Integrating these perspectives provides a more complete picture of a project's theory of change from an

J.D. Stanley - Looking Ahead: Smart Living and Sustainable EnergyShane Mitchell
This document discusses the connected and sustainable energy community enabled by smart grids. Key points include:
1) A smart grid allows energy to flow in both directions, enabling consumers to become producers by generating and storing their own energy from sources like solar and wind.
2) Distributed energy generation and storage from renewable micro-sources helps power the grid while reducing emissions.
3) Connected transmission, distribution assets, and personnel allow real-time visibility and control of the energy supply chain for improved efficiency.
