The samurai were powerful warriors in Japanese society from the 12th to 19th centuries who adhered to a code of honor. They practiced traditions like shudo, where older samurai would take on young male apprentices and engage in homosexual relationships as a way to teach virtues and strengthen bonds. Though controversial to modern Western perspectives, shudo was a culturally accepted practice for samurai at the time and thought to benefit both parties. As Japan modernized with Western influence, traditions like shudo declined but homosexuality remains more tolerated than in some Western cultures.
The Promise of Authority in Social Scholarshiplcohen
The document discusses the changing nature of scholarly authority and publishing in an increasingly social and participatory digital environment. It defines social scholarship as using networked social tools to publish and interact with scholarly output. Parameters of social scholarship include things like comments, reviews, bookmarks and ratings. Soft peer review can build authority through implicit and explicit social interactions with published work. New metrics of authority are emerging that incorporate social metadata around usage and conversation. This leads to new models of hybrid peer review and open access journal communities that blend traditional review with informal open review processes.

Comet allows for bidirectional communication between server and client by allowing long-lived HTTP connections. This overcomes limitations of traditional Ajax which uses polling. Comet enables new types of highly interactive web applications such as collaborative editing and streaming financial data. It works by having the client leave an HTTP request open to the server instead of closing after each response. The server can then push updates to the client without needing the client to poll repeatedly. There are different Comet architectures and techniques for implementing it on both the client-side, such as long polling and forever frames, and server-side. While not fully standardized, Comet provides a way to build real-time web applications today despite some browser limitations.

Alternative Design Workflows in a Post-PSD Era - WordCamp KC 2014Jeremy Fuksa
As responsive design and progressive enhancement become mainstream design practices, the decades old approach of using Adobe Photoshop to comp up page designs for clients is becoming increasingly irrelevant. A quick search online shows designers quickly clamoring for a better way to do their work.
Along with new tools to learn, there’s also the challenge of acclimating a client base that has been used to seeing fully-rendered Photoshop designs for decades. How do these new practices benefit them?
This presentation looks at some “post-Photoshop” design practices and how they might fit into a designer’s workflow. Additionally, Jeremy will share how a new design workflow has worked for his team at Clickfarm and how clients have received this new way of looking at their projects.

This document discusses challenges and solutions related to implementing medical IT systems. It begins with an overview of idealized vs. real-world medical IT systems from different perspectives. It then presents a taxonomy of common implementation barriers including time, expertise, access, resources, and support. Potential solutions are proposed such as total commitment from hospital management, pre-deployment buy-in from key physicians, process re-engineering, intensive help desk support, and senior management accountability.

Migrations of existing enterprise applications to the cloud can be complex. There are no migration methodologies or magic bullets that enable a simple lift and shift or automated migration. Typical migration projects take a great deal of discovery work, re-architecture, and refactoring. In this session, we will share known challenges and considerations that must be accounted for when designing, planning, and executing a migration. Topics will include: scale-out and distributed architectures, geographic dispersion, leveraging existing cloud services, and logging & monitoring. In addition, this session will address how in-depth discovery efforts can be paired with configuration management, automation, and source control to minimize the risk of future technical debt. Finally, we’ll cover the business and technical factors the affect the complexity of application refactoring.

This document provides lessons on improving presentation skills. It discusses three main lessons: 1) Direct audience focus on the presenter rather than the PowerPoint slides by using fewer words and more photos/simpler slides. 2) Clearly define the main purpose of the presentation and choose a style that fits the scenario, such as to inform, entertain, persuade or inspire. 3) Include elements of surprise and managing audience expectations to make the presentation more like a show. Resources for further learning include websites like SlideShare and TED talks, as well as books on presentation skills.
