An elderly woman told the author that living on a Princess cruise ship was cheaper than a nursing home. The author calculated that a cruise would cost $135 per day, compared to $200 per day for a nursing home, and provide many amenities. These include 10 meals a day, swimming pools, exercise facilities, housekeeping services, and entertainment. If an injury occurred, the author would get an upgraded suite instead of relying on Medicare. The author plans to spend their retirement traveling the world on Princess cruise ships rather than living in a nursing home.
The document discusses swine flu and provides safety advice. It notes that antibiotics will not help with swine flu as it is a viral infection. It recommends wearing a safety harness if leaning out a window to avoid the risk of falling and injury.
The document discusses adopting an Application Service Provider (ASP) model for hosting the Pegasus Cargo Management System application. Some key points:
- The ASP model involves an application vendor hosting the software and making it accessible to customers via the internet or thin clients. Customers are billed on a usage or subscription basis.
- Benefits of the ASP model include cost savings, allowing companies to focus on their core business instead of IT, and providing 24/7 access.
- Potential disadvantages are less customization, reliance on the provider, integration challenges, security risks if data is hosted externally, and ongoing subscription costs.
- Popular ASP implementation technologies mentioned are Citrix XenApp, Microsoft Terminal Services
The document discusses exercises for a business decisions tools course. It includes:
- An exercise set due on March 1st with questions about facility building.

1) A tweetchat is a themed discussion on Twitter that occurs monthly and lasts 60 minutes. Participants discuss topics through tweets in a facilitated global brainstorming session.
2) The Rio+20 conference in 2012 focused on sustainable development and the role of the private sector in driving sustainability through increased disclosure, transparency, and sustainable public procurement.
3) Construction was seen as needing a "makeover" beyond just greenwashing to shift from reducing harm to providing net benefits through sustainable building design and operations using a culture of dematerialization and industry collaboration.

Ananias and his wife sold a piece of land but kept back some of the money for themselves, lying to the apostles and Holy Spirit about the total received. When confronted, Ananias fell down dead. Later his wife affirmed they had lied. The document discusses how Satan can fill people's hearts yet individuals are responsible for their own thoughts and actions. Christians cannot compromise between God and Satan. Good partners and accountability in the church are important to maintain one's freedom in truth.
The document discusses identity and control of personal information online. It explores concepts like social graphs, content sharing, and how information is used and controlled by both individuals and large entities. The document suggests that a user-centric digital identity model stored in a markup language could help give users more ownership and portability of their data across different certification entities like governments, banks, companies and online services. This would help put users in more control over their personal information and digital footprint on the internet.
The main objective of the project is to expand the market for energy efficient street lighting. The partners within the consortium are all convinced about the prosperous future for this technology, its significant energy saving potential (40 to 70 % energy reduction), environmental and economical benefits and the increased level of traffic safety for the public.

The story of tat and everything i learned in the tripHampus Jakobsson
The document summarizes Hampus Jakobsson's trip where he learned about various topics like the demoscene, research in motion, arts challenges, and icons. It encourages thinking big but acting small by getting work done and in front of people instead of focusing on perfection. It advocates for communicating what you learn from experiences.
El ballet nació en Italia pero alcanzó su máxima expresión en Francia durante el Renacimiento. Se considera una de las artes escénicas y requiere técnicas como la concentración, flexibilidad y coordinación. Algunos pasos básicos incluyen batir las piernas, girar en el aire y cambiar la posición de las piernas. Principios como la alineación, rotación, distribución del peso y equilibrio son fundamentales en el ballet.
The document analyzes the effect of a tuition payment policy change on student enrollment across three community colleges. Statistical tests found a significant but small decrease in average credits taken after the policy change. However, the differences were less than one credit and may not represent a meaningful change. More data on revenue and external factors is needed before concluding the effectiveness of the policy change.

Globalisaatio on tuonut maailmaan sekä hyviä että huonoja vaikutuksia. Sen myötä kansainvälinen kauppa ja taloudellinen yhteistyö ovat kasvaneet, mikä on lisännyt hyvinvointia monissa maissa. Toisaalta globalisaatio on lisännyt eriarvoisuutta eri maiden välillä ja johtanut paikallisten elinkeinojen katoamiseen. Sen vaikutuksia tulee tarkastella kriittisesti, jotta sen hyö
