Single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi are cheap, small, and cute, but they have also shown that they are powerful enough to drive interesting ideas at a fraction of the cost of other, more “traditional” hardware solutions. This session covers how Java ME and Java SE technologies can power solutions for managing open spaces (such as museums, department stores, hypermarkets, airports, train stations, and offices) in a cost-effective manner. Combining Java, the Raspberry Pi, and Bluetooth LE and other sensors makes it easy to build a platform to track personal devices as they are carried through an area and analyze movement patterns, hot zones, and real-time 3-D information to help drive better visitor/customer/user interactions.
This document discusses several online tools including word clouds to analyze provided text, online theme generators, and a tool that allows downloading and converting YouTube videos. It also mentions a new search engine from Microsoft that finds and organizes answers, combining search capabilities with connections from social networks.

The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is the largest Orthodox cathedral in Tallinn, Estonia. Built between 1894-1900 in the Russian Revival style, it is dedicated to Saint Alexander Nevsky. The cathedral symbolized Russian rule for Estonians and was almost demolished in 1924, but has since been restored after Estonia regained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991.
Socialization occurs in two levels: primary and secondary. Primary socialization involves learning basic behaviors, language, and skills from families in early childhood. Secondary socialization continues throughout life and involves learning societal norms and values from agencies like schools, media, workplaces and religions. Feral children who are found in the wild without normal socialization illustrate that human behavior is linked more to the socialization process than instinct.
There are three levels of sociological themes studied: social structures like families and institutions, social processes involving interaction between individuals and groups, and social issues affecting communities. Sociology examines human social life through exploring the interaction between these themes. Key concepts in sociology include culture as a society's way of life, values as a culture's beliefs about what is desirable, and norms as expectations for appropriate behavior in different social contexts.
The document discusses different types of urban parks and gardens, including botanical gardens, urban parks, and theme parks.

This document discusses different types of urban open spaces and their importance. It describes parks, greens, playgrounds, plazas, squares, streets, and waterways. Parks are natural areas for recreation surrounded by the city on one side and open land on others. Greens are smaller open spaces surrounded by the city for recreation, with lawns and trees. Playgrounds are open spaces designed for children near residential areas with equipment and sand. Plazas and squares are civic spaces surrounded by buildings for events, with pavement and optional trees. Streets connect spaces and can be pedestrian paths. Waterways include natural and manmade bodies of water providing recreation and habitat. Good open spaces have qualities like distinctiveness, accessibility, safety,
