The document discusses how three technologies - streaming, wireless connectivity, and digital money - will evolve over the next ten years based on several theories of technological adoption. It states that streaming will become the standard for entertainment as more people subscribe for access. Wireless networks will continue expanding to offer connectivity anywhere. Digital money faces challenges but may eventually replace physical currency if it becomes more user-friendly and people see others using it successfully.
This document summarizes key information about Haiti's history and the role of women, as background for V-Day's work supporting women in Haiti. It outlines Haiti's colonial history and independence, the impact of US intervention over the 20th century, and the history of violence and the women's rights movement. It then discusses the devastating 2010 earthquake and V-Day's response, including establishing shelters and legal support, and their 2012 campaign focusing on gender-based violence in Haiti.

This document discusses the definition and elements of possession from various legal perspectives. It defines possession as having control or the ability to exclude others from an object. Possession has two elements - corpus possession, the physical control, and animus domini, the intent to own. Several jurists like Holmes, Bentham, and Salmond provide different views on defining possession. The document also examines the types of possession like corporeal vs. incorporeal and mediate vs. immediate. It concludes with discussing the modes of acquiring possession such as taking, delivery, and constructive delivery.
The document describes Kimley-Horn's Integrated Transportation Management System (KITS). KITS is a scalable software that allows agencies to monitor, detect, alert, respond, inform, manage, control, and plan their transportation infrastructure from a single application. It integrates features such as CCTV, traffic detection, signal control, and more. KITS provides agencies with comprehensive monitoring and management of their transportation systems.

This document summarizes AECOM's global transportation services. AECOM has 45,000 employees working in over 100 countries to support public and private transportation clients. Their services include planning, designing, engineering, and managing various transportation infrastructure projects around the world for different modes of transportation such as aviation, transit, ports, and highways.
This document discusses generating actionable consumer insights from analytics. It covers trends in information sources, challenges in implementing big data and analytics, and opportunities. It also discusses use cases in health and telecommunications. Specifically, it mentions trends like personalized marketing using more data per person and emotion detection from unstructured data. Challenges include different data owners, interfacing with unstructured sources, and security issues like access control and data provenance. Opportunities include more organic measures and higher velocity outputs. Use cases discussed are customer care, genomic analysis, and high performance security analytics.
1. Bayesian methods can be used to approximate the probability of B given A (P(B|A)) by treating it as a function (f(A;w)) of the exemplars A and weights w, where the weights are unknown.
2. A Bayesian model is set up where the model/basis shapes are normally distributed, the confidence weights are independent, and there are precision tuners on the basis and weights.
3. Complexity control through regularization adds a penalty term (E_w) to the standard regression error term (E_d) controlled by a hyperparameter (lambda) to solve overfitting.
1. Bayesian methods can be used to approximate the probability of B given A (P(B|A)) by treating it as a function (f(A;w)) of the exemplars A and weights w, based on training data of examples of A and B.
2. A Bayesian approach involves placing prior probabilities on the model parameters (weights) to avoid overfitting, and computing the posterior distribution over the weights given the data.
3. Key aspects of Bayesian methods include choosing a model shape (e.g. linear or sigmoid function), placing independent precision tuners on the weights and basis functions to control complexity, and interpreting the confidence levels of the unknown weights.
This document provides an overview of AECOM, a global infrastructure firm that provides energy services. AECOM has 45,000 employees working across 100+ countries on 7 continents. The company strives to ensure renewable energy solutions for the future through 90 years of experience in efficiency, sustainable design, transmission, distribution, and thermal power generation. AECOM's mission is to help clients develop efficient energy solutions to reduce consumption, expand renewables, and improve reliability.
The document discusses the importance of water and the global water crisis. It notes that while water covers 70% of the Earth's surface, only 1% is drinkable and many people lack access to clean water. Over 800 million people lack access to safe water and over 50% of people worldwide lack adequate sanitation. As water scarcity increases, it threatens food production, energy supplies, health, and development. The document calls for solutions like education, conservation efforts, and supporting organizations working to improve access to clean water worldwide.
The document discusses how organizational size impacts structure. It notes that as size increases, structural differentiation increases but at a decreasing rate. While size is related to complexity, the relationship is complex and not definitive. Later sections discuss debates around the relationships between size and factors like formalization, centralization, and administrative components. The document also notes how organizational theory concepts apply differently for small businesses due to their more limited range of structural variation.
The document discusses the different types of writs under the Indian Constitution. It defines a writ as a formal order issued by a sovereign authority commanding an act. The Constitution empowers the Supreme Court and High Courts to issue writs for enforcing fundamental rights. The main writs discussed are habeas corpus, mandamus, prohibition, certiorari, and quo-warranto. Habeas corpus orders the production of a detained person. Mandamus commands a public duty to be performed. Prohibition stops lower courts exceeding their jurisdiction. Certiorari transfers a case to a higher court. Quo-warranto restrains unlawful holding of public office. Case studies are provided to illustrate applications of each writ.
