Communication has evolved significantly over time from early human expression through paintings, to the development of writing systems like Egyptian hieroglyphs, to the creation of the Greek and Latin alphabets still used today. A major breakthrough was Gutenberg's 15th century invention of the printing press, which made books and reading more widely accessible beyond just the clergy. The industrial and digital revolutions of the 19th and 20th centuries brought many new communication technologies like radio, telephone, television, and the internet which have continued to advance into the 21st century with fewer borders and limitations.
The document summarizes the adaptive strategies and agricultural practices of the I'wak people from six culture centers in Kayapa. It describes how the I'waks practice shifting cultivation, wet rice agriculture, upland farming, and livestock raising depending on the environmental conditions of each area. Their agricultural cycle involves clearing land, planting crops like rice, taro, sweet potatoes and vegetables, and harvesting after several months. The division of labor and use of simple tools varies between male and female roles. Rituals formerly accompanied the farming cycle but now harvest festivals are often celebrated in churches.

The document discusses a project at the University of Santo Tomas to document traditional Filipino arts using digital media. The project develops a database of art forms, artists, and materials using tools like word processors, email, cameras, and video cameras. This information is shared on the university's online platforms and external sites like YouTube and WordPress to interact with participants and transmit cultural heritage more broadly. Challenges include editing multimedia content while respecting copyright and citing sources properly.
1) The document discusses various geological features and processes in the Pensacola, Florida region, including faults, weathering, mass wasting, erosion, and sedimentary environments.
2) It provides examples of oxidation, chemical weathering, slumping, beach erosion, and how knowledge of geology is applied to construction.
3) The region faces challenges from hurricanes and coastal erosion but utilizes geological insights for building resilient infrastructure like hotels and bridges.
Smartbooks that combine features of smartphones and netbooks are emerging, along with tablets using capacitive touchscreens and multiple operating systems. People are increasingly using two or three screens simultaneously, such as TV, PC and mobile devices. The iPad is creating a new channel of "sofa surfing" users. Location-based apps and APIs are enabling user reviews and comments tied to specific locations to engage customers. Early adopters like Domino's and McDonald's saw increased profits and engagement from social media and location-based marketing campaigns. New forms of mobile payments, visual search, health apps, and faster 4G networks will change mobile interactions.
The document summarizes information about Mormon Rocks and the North Etiwanda Preserve. Mormon Rocks were formed by compression along the San Andreas Fault and are composed of sandstone and granular structures. The preserve protects the endangered Riversidian Alluvial Sage Scrub habitat and other species. It also provides flood control and drinking water for the dry environment and its inhabitants.
The document discusses ZANEC's expertise in Web 2.0 and portal technologies. ZANEC provides services including developing collaborative enterprise portals using Microsoft SharePoint. It has strengths such as a culture of innovation, hands-on leadership, and domain expertise in healthcare. ZANEC's business model involves strategic partnerships and a virtual R&D model to deliver software development offshore while ensuring IP protection.

Dianne Siriban talks about how Smart phones using Microblogging could be a popular tool to engage higher education students in English Communication courses on Research Writing.
This document provides an overview of the South Beach diet, which became popular in the 1990s as a successor to the Atkins diet. The South Beach diet is divided into three phases that gradually reintroduce certain carbohydrates and foods. The first phase is the strictest and aims to quickly start weight loss while developing healthier eating habits. The second phase allows some previously restricted foods and the third phase focuses on maintenance after weight loss goals are met. Overall, the South Beach diet emphasizes eating lean proteins, vegetables, and "good" carbs and fats while limiting "bad" carbs like sugar and refined grains.
This document discusses the next major trend after cloud computing, which is organic computing. It argues that to survive in this new age of organic computing, businesses will need to adopt an organic thinking and acting survival strategy. The document outlines three key ingredients for this strategy: 1) vast computing power, 2) organic architectures, and 3) organic thinking and acting. It asserts that organic IT is part of a larger paradigm shift towards more integrated and natural approaches to technology, business, and society.
The document contains data about rowing athletes and coaches. It includes performance metrics like heart rate, speed, stroke rate, distance, and applied forces that are tracked for athletes. It also discusses tracking individual athlete progress as well as team performance and supervision by coaches. The document describes logging into a rowing monitoring system to view real-time data and previous training sessions for athletes.
Examples include using photos of endangered species, paintings by national artists, and case studies about Filipino celebrities. Student projects analyzing original Pilipino music lyrics for economic concepts showed reinforced learning and appreciation of local culture. Recommendations include addressing multiple intelligences and collaborating to improve technical skills.
Miriam College discusses its experience using Moodle and involvement in the Asian University Digital Resource Network. The college aims to preserve local knowledge in Asia through digital tools and sharing cultural assets related to language, religion, music and art. It holds workshops on digital tools and supports research networking, eLearning and service learning. The overall focus is on using technology to document and share disappearing cultural assets across Asia while bringing people together.
