The document proposes improvements to the Gauteng freeway network in South Africa, including upgrading freeways to 4-6 lanes per direction, improving interchanges, adding auxiliary lanes, and cross road improvements. The projects will be financed through open road tolling without physical toll plazas to minimize delays. Construction is scheduled to begin in May 2008, be substantially completed by May 2010, and finish in October 2010, with toll operations commencing then. Challenges include availability of skills and materials, traffic risks, and potential impacts on construction costs.
This document discusses the history and evolution of the architecture at eBay. It describes how the company started with AuctionWeb in 1995 using Perl and then moved to C++ and Java. It discusses the challenges of rapid growth and how the architecture became overly complex with everything coded in Java. It then outlines how they addressed this by generating code, advanced editors, visual explorers and components/wizards to improve developer productivity and manage complexity.

This document outlines classroom activities and assignments related to reading about the Dinka and Nuer tribes of Sudan. It instructs students to re-read passages from an article, try writing gist statements, discuss vocabulary words, and work on summarizing paragraphs in groups. Students are then asked to complete a reading assessment, participate in back-to-back discussion questions with partners, read background information aloud, and do independent reading for homework.

The Boyne Island Library provides resources and services to the community. It offers a wide selection of books, magazines, newspapers, audio books and DVDs. Residents can use the library to borrow materials, access computers and the internet, or attend programs and events.
The document proposes developing a system called SHAC-M+ using near space balloons (PSBs) and a tethered mast system (TMS) to provide continuous covert communications coverage for submarines and other maritime assets in littoral waters. The PSBs would be deployed from submarines, aircraft, and surface ships to act as temporary satellites, while the TMS would allow submarines to communicate at speed and depth. The TMS is a basic concept involving a tethered mast and communications equipment that could provide persistent communications, ISR, and maintain stealth for submarines operating in blue waters and littorals.
The document summarizes Hendrik Drachsler's presentation at an NSF expert meeting on big data and privacy in human subjects research. Some key points from Drachsler's presentation include:
- He discussed issues around learning analytics research and how privacy concerns often stop innovation;
- He questioned if big data should be considered the "new truth" and highlighted examples where big data provided inaccurate insights;
- Drachsler advocated for transparency, data security, informed consent and data anonymization to prevent issues like what happened with the inBloom student database project in the US.
Through its Innovation World program, TeliaSonera provides a platform for testing new mobile services with end users and partners. Innovation World allows users to try services for free, provide feedback, and influence future offerings, while partners can evaluate services and potentially partner with TeliaSonera. The program aims to more quickly commercialize innovative services that are proven with end users.
Del.icio.us is a social bookmarking tool that allows users to store, tag, and share bookmarks online. The document discusses how to get started with del.icio.us, including adding tags and browsing bookmarks. It provides examples of how some libraries use del.icio.us for research assistance, subject guides, and sharing links with patrons. The document suggests ways the library could utilize del.icio.us reference tools and bookmarks.
Rečica is a village near Karlovac and Zagreb in Croatia with around 1200 inhabitants, known for its over 200-year-old Church of St. Ivan Krstitelj, Castle Drašković where 19th century poet Janko Drašković lived, and many well-preserved wooden houses over 200 years old, including one converted to a museum. It has a primary school for 135 students aged 7 to 14 across 8 classes, and cultural organizations including a folk dance group called KUD Rečica and a tamburitza orchestra that promote local heritage.

The document discusses sharing data sets to personalize learning. It describes the dataTEL theme team, which aims to standardize research on recommender systems in technology-enhanced learning (TEL). The team seeks to address questions around sharing data sets while protecting privacy, developing policies for data sharing, pre-processing data for other researchers, defining evaluation criteria for TEL recommender systems, and monitoring system performance on data sets. The presentation covers topics like open innovation, mashups, recommender systems, and protection rights as they relate to sharing educational data.
The document proposes an enhanced and interactive ebook platform that would allow textbook publishers and content creators to add multimedia, tests, quizzes and other ancillary materials to textbooks, addressing different learning styles. The platform would provide these enhanced ebooks through applications on various devices and generate higher margins for content creators. It seeks funding to expand its services and software, hire a Chief Creative Officer, and target small and medium publishers and professional organizations as its niche.

This document provides instructions and learning objectives for a lesson on Cesar Chavez's Commonwealth Club speech. It directs students to take notes on paragraphs 16-29 of the speech and identify Chavez's central claim. The lesson also defines rhetoric and has students work with partners to determine one claim from the selected speech paragraphs. For homework, students are assigned 15-20 minutes of independent reading.
This document summarizes a workshop on incorporating energy efficiency, renewables, and green building practices into affordable housing programs. It discusses priorities like indoor air quality and energy cost savings. As an example, it outlines the green building measures used in Oxford Plaza, a 97-unit affordable housing development, including solar hot water, energy efficient appliances, recycled materials, and native landscaping. Implementing green measures can be challenging due to costs and competing priorities, but strategies like HOME funding eligibility and acceptance of increased costs can help promote green affordable housing.
