This document appears to be a presentation on accessibility and communication challenges for those who are deaf or hard of hearing. It discusses the closed cultural society of the deaf community and how communication works differently for those without hearing. Misunderstandings can occur for both hearing and deaf individuals without visual cues like facial expressions and gestures. True understanding only happens when all parties are emotionally involved. Different situations require different approaches depending on the type and degree of hearing loss for an individual. Hearing loss impacts many areas of life.

Technical Debt - The number one reason why technical projects get derailedAccesto
A couple of years ago we had a very successful product - a game hosting management panel. Over the years our client database grew and we introduced support for new games and new features.
That was our first product, and it became quite popular. At one point it was used by the majority of game hosting providers in Poland.
But then, here’s what happened: as our client database quickly grew and we extended the application’s functionality, we consciously started taking shortcuts. Sometimes because of time constraints, other times we just thought it was the smart thing to do.
With time it got harder and harder to fix the bugs and introduce new features. We had been adding fuel to the fire without noticing it. And then, one day, we just realized the product was not profitable anymore due to its technical debt. The expenses of maintaining the product outgrew the profits it had been bringing in.
The document provides details about the agenda for a presentation including sessions, speakers, and topics. Some of the session topics include responsive design, leadership for introverts, scenario-based design, blogging, multi-channel content publishing, volunteering to advance your career, making products interesting, the future of knowledge transfer, using cloud technology, the role of technical writers, managing client expectations, using plain language, HTML5, CSS, mobile outputs, and responsive design. The closing session will include a lightning talk on happiness and well-being and a session on technical writing for FDA-regulated industries.

This document discusses different types of briefs used in creative industries:
- Contractual briefs are legal agreements outlining client needs, requirements, and payment terms.
- Communication briefs clearly state client and employee responsibilities and payment plans.
- Negotiated briefs allow competing companies to discuss issues with the client and modify the brief.
- Formal briefs outline the product but allow discussions, though they may not be legally binding.
- Informal briefs are verbal discussions of requirements and agreed projects without documentation.
- Commission briefs have a large company hire another to create a product for an external client.
- Tender briefs have clients advertise and companies pitch proposals for the client to choose
Technical debt is a metaphor used to describe the additional rework, bugs, security issues and costs that result from taking shortcuts or choosing expedient solutions during software development. If not managed properly, technical debt can accumulate over time and make software more costly and difficult to change. The document discusses various types of technical debt, symptoms that indicate high levels of debt, and stakeholders impacted by debt. It suggests technical debt should be managed strategically like financial debt to balance short-term gains with long-term costs and risks.
How do branding and service design fit together? While one concept manages expectations, the other manages experiences. Combining both approaches allows creating brand experience for the benefit of customers as well as for companies. The concept of ‘Brand Services’ are “give-away services” that address relevant user needs and at the same time convey a brand message. In this talk and hands-on exercise, Christian Vatter shows how creating value for people and promoting business goes hand-in-hand.
Christian Vatter is user psychologist and brand consultant. He founded Rlevance Consulting, a human centered business consultancy with a specialty in creating meaningful brands and value-adding customer experiences. In his work he often combines service design with branding techniques to create sustainable bonds with customers. He wrote various articles on this topic and speaks at international conferences.
Top 40 engineering project engineer interview questions and answers pdf ebook...selinasimpson408
This document provides answers to 16 common interview questions for an engineering project engineer position. It discusses answers to questions such as "Tell me about yourself", "What is one skill a project manager needs to succeed?", "Where do you see yourself in five years?", "What experience do you have in this field?", and "Do you have any questions?". For each question, it provides a sample answer and discusses what the interviewer is looking for in the response. It also includes additional related reading materials and tips for answering each question successfully.
The document discusses mechanical joints and their degrees of freedom. It describes two common joints - the prismatic joint and revolute joint. The prismatic joint allows for single-axis sliding motion and is used in devices like cylinders. The revolute joint allows for rotation about a single axis. It also defines total degrees of freedom as the 6 possible motions in 3D space (3 translations and 3 rotations) and controllable degrees of freedom as the subset that can be controlled. An example is given of a non-holonomic robot that has 2 total DOF but can only control 1 DOF through its revolute joint.
The document discusses the concept of degrees of freedom. It provides definitions from various statistics textbooks and dictionaries. Degrees of freedom refers to the number of independent variables or pieces of information in a sample. The document also gives everyday examples to help explain degrees of freedom, such as dividing up time among tasks. Finally, it discusses statistical applications of degrees of freedom, such as in calculating sample variance, t-tests, ANOVA, and regression analysis.

This document discusses vital statistics and registration of vital events in India. It defines vital statistics as data relating to human mortality, morbidity, and demography. Vital events include births, deaths, marriages, divorces, and migrations. In India, registration of vital events is governed by acts such as the Births and Deaths Registration Act of 1886. The document outlines the processes for registering different vital events, such as notifying authorities of births and deaths that occur in hospitals. It also discusses uses of vital statistics such as analyzing demographic trends and planning health services.
Inelastic Period of Multi Degree of Freedom System Estimation using Wavelet T...Harshana Prabhath
This document outlines a research project that aims to estimate the elastic and inelastic periods of multi-degree of freedom structural systems using wavelet transformation. The methodology involves taking ambient vibration measurements from two reinforced concrete buildings, extracting periods using Fourier transformation and wavelet transformation, developing numerical models of the structures in OpenSees, and using wavelet transformation to estimate inelastic periods when the structures are subjected to seismic loads. A literature review covers structural dynamics, ambient vibration testing, techniques for extracting periods from measurements, and continuous wavelet transformation as an alternative to Fourier transformation for capturing frequency information over time.
Three Degree of Freedom Control of Inverted Pendulum by using Repulsive Magne...idescitation
An inverted pendulum is a pendulum which has its
mass above its pivot point. Inverted Pendulum is a classical
problem in dynamics and control theory and is widely used as
a benchmark for testing control algorithms (PID controllers,
neural networks, fuzzy control, genetic algorithms etc.).
Variations on this problem include multiple links allowing
the motion of the cart to be commanded while maintaining
the pendulum and balancing the cart- pendulum system on
see- saw. The inverted pendulum is related to rocket or missile
guidance, where the centre of gravity is located behind the
canter of drag causing aerodynamic instability. The
understanding of similar problem can be shown by balancing
an upturned broomstick on the end of one’s finger is a simple
demonstration and the problem is solved in the technology of
the seaway Position, self balancing transportation device. So,
here the entire above problem can be solved by using levitation
system. In this levitation system three magnets are used in
equilateral triangle for giving the force to inverted pendulum
in 3-dimension for balancing the pendulum.

This document discusses bar charts and histograms. It explains that bar charts and histograms present statistics in a clear, concise visual way to allow comparisons. It provides an example comparing a bar chart and histogram of applause lengths. The key difference is histograms use frequency density on the y-axis rather than just frequency, making the areas proportional to frequency and preventing misinterpretation from uneven group widths. The document demonstrates how to construct and interpret histograms.
This document discusses scatter diagrams and linear correlation. It provides examples of scatter diagrams that do and do not show linear correlation. It defines the correlation coefficient r as a measure of linear correlation between two variables on a scatter plot, with values between -1 and 1. It presents formulas for calculating r and provides an example of computing r using wind velocity and sand drift rate data. It cautions that correlation does not necessarily imply causation and that lurking variables can influence the correlation between two variables.
The document discusses frequency tables and bar graphs. It provides an example of a frequency table showing the results of a student survey about favorite foods. It then shows how to construct a vertical bar graph using the frequency table data, with instructions on labeling the axes, choosing an appropriate scale, and drawing bars proportional to each food's frequency.
This document describes a textbook on mechanical vibration of linear systems. It covers modeling and analysis of one-degree-of-freedom and multi-degree-of-freedom linear systems, as well as continuous systems like strings, rods, shafts and beams. The textbook is divided into two parts, with part one covering modeling and analysis using mathematical techniques like Newton's laws, Lagrange's equations and influence coefficients. Part two describes laboratory experiments on modal analysis of multi-degree-of-freedom systems and vibration control techniques.
This document provides an overview of kinematics fundamentals, including degrees of freedom, types of motion, links, joints, kinematic chains, and mechanisms. Some key points:
- A rigid body has 6 degrees of freedom in 3D space or 3 degrees of freedom in planar motion.
- Joints can be classified by type of contact (lower vs. higher pairs), degrees of freedom allowed (1, 2, or 3), physical closure (closed vs. unclosed), and number of links joined. Common lower pairs are revolute, prismatic, screw, cylindrical, spherical, and flat joints.
- Gruebler's equation and Kutzbach's modification can be used to determine the degrees
The document discusses static and dynamic force analysis of mechanisms. It defines key terms like static equilibrium, inertia force, inertia torque, and D'Alembert's principle. It explains the conditions for a body to be in equilibrium under different force configurations. Dynamic force analysis considers inertia forces to determine input torque required. Equivalent masses and Klein's construction diagram are discussed for dynamic analysis of reciprocating engines. Correction couple and torque are also summarized.
John Coggeshall has 18 years of experience in web development and PHP. He discusses several projects that failed due to neglecting technical debt, overcomplicating projects, and ignoring expert advice. Some key lessons are to have expert skills as partners rather than employees, manage expectations, be flexible, have a development process, and keep things simple.
Forget the A to Z of why it projects fail, here’s the S to L of successful!Stoneseed Ltd
THE TOP TEN WAYS TO KEEP YOUR PROJECT ON TRACK
CREATED BY: DAVID COTGREAVE
A number of articles have either dropped in my Office 365 inbox this week, or on various social media feeds, each of them detailing a list of the reasons why IT Projects fail.
That's a rather negative way to approach it.
The best sports teams didn't build success by checking out why other teams were losing - they focussed on winning. You should too.
You can certainly learn from the mistakes of others (and yourself) but instead of dwelling on the A to Z of failures, how about championing the S to L of what happens when IT projects are SUCCESSFUL.
S - is for Skills
U - is for Understanding
C - is for Communication (and clarity)
C - is for Change Leadership
E - is for Efficient Execution
S - is for Systems
S - is for Supervision
F - is for Fact-Rooted analysis
U - is for User input
L - is for Learn
The S to L of SUCCESSFUL.
If it sounds simple, it's because it is. Sort of.
Except, of course, for the fact that behind each of the ten points above there lies a lot of hard work and hard earned experience - sometimes it's like herding cats - but the gains are there to be won.
Just don't start with a list of why projects fail.
Further details of how Project Management as a Service can help, can be found on our website www.stoneseed.co.uk
1. Business value engineering (BVE) aims to continuously deliver more business value to customers through incremental improvements. It takes a learning approach focused on understanding customer needs.
2. Agile specifications provide just enough documentation for developers to implement user stories, typically being developed for one or a few user stories at a time. The content is determined by the team and improves over time based on feedback.
3. BVE and agile specifications work together when product owners work with stakeholders to develop specifications in sprints before stories, ensuring developers understand needs while avoiding unnecessary documentation. Continuous feedback improves the process.

MYTH: Freelancing only works
between real jobs.
A recent Intercom article talked about
freelancing strictly as a fall back
possibility between contracting jobs.
The writer couldn’t imagine how it could
possibly be a full time choice.
4. BJ Dooley Technical Information Services
Freelancers can live quite
comfortably.
I’ve done so for over 10 years!
5. BJ Dooley Technical Information Services
MYTH: Freelance opportunities are
simple projects that don’t pay.
Many people lump all freelancing
together, and write it off as fairly
hopeless--only a means to gain writing
experience.
6. BJ Dooley Technical Information Services
Freelancing can be made into a
specialised profession.
I have clients in a wide spectrum of
specialty subject areas, and many
require--and pay for--advanced
experience and knowledge.
7. BJ Dooley Technical Information Services
MYTH: Freelancing is easy.
On the other hand, some believe that
freelancing is an easy way to make
extra money, and is only for lazy sods
like…(no names, please).
8. BJ Dooley Technical Information Services
For real success, treat freelancing
as a full time job.
9. BJ Dooley Technical Information Services
MYTH: Freelancing is really the same
as contracting, with a few differences.
It is often assumed that freelancing and
contracting are really the same thing,
with just a few minor differences.
12. BJ Dooley Technical Information Services
Freelancing is LIKE Contracting,
but it is not the same:
• Freelance projects tend to be brief
• Freelancers need to have many clients
• Freelancing gives more control
BUT
…there are a lot of other differences to
be aware of, too…

BRIAN’S RULES FOR
SUCCESSFUL FREELANCING
30. BJ Dooley Technical Information Services
Brian’s Rules for Successful
Freelancing
1. Never turn down a job
2. If you are not writing, you should be marketing
3. Work at least up to your minimum pay each week
4. Seek quality, from planning to production
5. Seek regular clients
6. Remain “hungry”
7. Maintain good records
8. Be flexible
9. Find your niche
10. Remember, the client is OFTEN right!
32. BJ Dooley Technical Information Services
1. Never turn down a job
Why?
Every new job has a substantial acquisition
“cost” and represents an opportunity.
How?
There are almost always options. If you
don’t have the skills, find a subcontractor
who does; if the pay is too low, put limits
on the job; if the project is too big,
assemble a team.
33. BJ Dooley Technical Information Services
2. If you are not writing, you
should be marketing
Why?
You are on your own clock. There is no
such thing as free time. If you do not
market when time is available, you may not
be able to when schedules fill.
How?
Marketing is discussed at length later, but
involves Web searches, maintaining
contact lists, and advertising.
34. BJ Dooley Technical Information Services
3. Work at least up to your
minimum pay each week
Why?
Project schedules will be all over the place. The
one thing that you do know is that you need to
make a weekly rate to pay the bills. Work done is
“money in the bank,” no matter when it gets paid.
How?
Start projects early, if necessary. It is not
necessary to wait until you are near deadlines.
35. BJ Dooley Technical Information Services
4. Seek quality, from planning
to production
Why?
Reputation is important, and part of your business will rely
upon word-of-mouth. It is much easier to sell if you are
known for quality work. In planning, remember that
accuracy, records management and good product scoping
will save misunderstandings and build confidence.
How?
Know what you are doing, and work to the best of your
ability. Always back up your work with careful planning and a
strong contract. Ensure that the customer is always aware of
your actions, costs and requirements.
36. BJ Dooley Technical Information Services
5. Seek regular clients.
Why?
Every new client has a substantial acquisition “cost,” which
will include the time, effort and energy spent in getting them
on board. While one job from a client may be worth, say,
$1000, a regular client may provide jobs worth $100,000 or
more over a period of years. In fact, I have a client that has
been worth over half a million dollars over a long period of
time.
How?
Keep in contact with clients. Suggest projects. Send Xmas
cards (a personal favourite), “tickle” them periodically for
new jobs. And, of course, give regular clients red carpet
treatment.
37. BJ Dooley Technical Information Services
6. Remain “hungry”.
Why?
Clients can be fickle, and entire markets can fold.
You, the freelancer, are on the far end of the
branch in the corporate “feeding chain.” The very
first budgetary move is to cut down on freelancing.
Also, new editors take on the job, policies change
and so forth. You can never be totally secure, and
income depends upon keeping client numbers up.
How?
Keep marketing, looking for new clients, seeking
jobs, pursuing contacts.
38. BJ Dooley Technical Information Services
7. Maintain good records.
Why?
Client and contact records are essential to pursuing
business. You need to know who the contact is for this
client, what happened last contact, what their postal, email
and phone details are, what projects you have done for
them, and what types of suggestions are likely to interest
them. Work records need to be accurate and include all
project details, plus all retained correspondence. If you use
subcontractors, you need to ensure that you maintain all
payment and rate information as well.
How?
Use a database system or a spreadsheet for most
information. A customized system is best. We developed a
system in MS Access, for example, partly due to a need to
handle the large amount of details for publications projects,
and partly to permit multi-currency invoicing.
39. BJ Dooley Technical Information Services
8. Be flexible
Why?
Flexibility is a key freelancer strength. You should
be ready to accept numerous work arrangements,
numerous payment options, and other conditions
that might pertain to different projects. For
example, accepting limited “in house” contracts,
payment at the end of a project, royalty
arrangements and so forth.
How?
Consider each proposed option carefully, in
relation to your total portfolio, and work to
accommodate special requests.
40. BJ Dooley Technical Information Services
9. Find your niche
Why?
In writing about a subject, you will often find that previous
work in that area is the best advertising for the next job. It is
a lot easier to convince clients to use your services, and also
gives you an air of expertise in that subject, or in those
subjects.
How?
Every time you accept a job involving a new subject matter
or new type of product (online documents versus printed
documents, for example), explore the possibility of doing
further work in that area when you are doing your marketing.
41. BJ Dooley Technical Information Services
10. Remember, the client is
OFTEN right!
Do the best that you can, but avoid
pushing the client too far. If they must
have things done a certain way, find a
quality way to do it that it will reflect well
upon both you and upon your client.
42. BJ Dooley Technical Information Services
MARKETING
…how to handle the great unknown in
freelancing, without losing your shirt.
43. BJ Dooley Technical Information Services
Marketing is Constant
It includes:
• Job seeking
• Advertising
• Networking
• Promoting
• Reminding
44. BJ Dooley Technical Information Services
Job seeking
• Use the Web. Find regular job sites and
look up “freelance”; go to specialized
freelance sites; look in international
listings.
• Use specialty publications such as
Writers Magazine, Writers Market and
so forth.
45. BJ Dooley Technical Information Services
Advertising
Advertising is expensive, so try to find
most effective possibilities:
– List in Yellow Pages for different areas,
– List with writer’s agencies such as
WriterFind, if they have a track record,
– Place advertisements in specialty
publications within your field, if seeking
corporate work.
46. BJ Dooley Technical Information Services
Networking
• Maintain contact with individuals, even
after they leave key companies—they
will be going to other companies that
may need freelancers
• Join local business organizations
• Join local professional organizations
• Always carry business cards, even to
informal, non-business gatherings
47. BJ Dooley Technical Information Services
Promoting
• Maintain a Web site and keep it relevant
and up to date
• Keep good Web statistics
• Mail out press releases for significant
events
• Submit essays to key publications
• Publish a newsletter for existing clients
and prospects
48. BJ Dooley Technical Information Services
Reminding
Make certain that you adequately harass
your current contacts. Seek them out for
quotes, additional projects, or just to see if
they might need more work.
50. BJ Dooley Technical Information Services
The good stuff
• Live wherever you want
• Travel whenever you feel like it
• Work mainly on projects that really
interest you
• Control your own schedule, income and
advancement
51. BJ Dooley Technical Information Services
The bad stuff
• There may not be enough cash to do
any of the good stuff…at least in the
beginning
• Working can take over your life
• Projects can come at inconvenient
times
• Multiple deadlines can make pressure
intense
