Data visualization techniques like graphs, charts, and diagrams can help businesses efficiently analyze large amounts of data and gain new insights that can improve decision making. Visualizing business data in tools such as Tableau, Google Charts, and QlikView allows analysts to quickly identify trends, understand problems, and align stakeholders on the best solutions. When done well, data visualization changes how a company thinks about its operations and performance by facilitating discussion and consensus around what the numbers really mean.
The magazine cover targets a female audience aged 20-30. The main image features a woman posing in simple clothing to portray an attainable lifestyle. Pink fonts and colors are used throughout to appeal to stereotypical female interests. Celebrity images and alliterative text are intended to draw readers in with promises of inside stories. The price is displayed discreetly as magazines are an expensive product.

An informed community is a resilient communityKerrie Purcell
A community is more resilient when its members are informed and able to take responsibility for their safety during disasters. For people to be informed, they need access to accurate and timely information from multiple sources, including via smartphones, tablets, and websites that do not crash. During recent disasters in Queensland, Australia in 2011 and 2013, many local governments struggled to provide complete, accurate information across different platforms about issues like road closures and evacuation centers. New technologies like GIS and social media can help communities transform how information is delivered before, during, and after disasters by improving accuracy, access, and response to public demand.
This document discusses communication between software components A and B. Component A and B exchange a sequence of standardized messages over a network. A web service is described as a software component with a programmatic interface that is exposed to clients, while the implementation is hidden; clients send and receive messages to the web service which are then programmatically processed.
Minimize the project risk - build good business requirementsKAROLINA ZMITROWICZ
The document discusses the importance of writing good business requirements for minimizing project risk. It notes that the real problems with many IT projects stem from a lack of proper analysis and preparation, with requirements often not clearly defined or tied to business goals and values. The document provides guidance on best practices for writing business requirements, including quantifying requirements, focusing on stakeholder needs and system qualities rather than just functions, ensuring "rich specification" that provides important background context for each requirement, and carrying out quality control checks of requirements.
The document summarizes the results of International Mountain Day 2012, including promotional campaigns featuring a video spot in three languages and the story of "Dani" which received over 7,000 visitors. Educational activities were conducted with students on the importance of mountains and ethical values. The message to protect mountains and their environments received a positive worldwide response, with participation from many territories and individuals celebrating International Mountain Day. Plans are outlined to start new solidarity projects through FAO and continue spreading this conservation message.
The document discusses the importance of usability engineering and designing for usability from the beginning. It provides definitions of usability and outlines the key steps in the usability engineering process, including concept planning, understanding needs, requirements analysis, and design/development. Throughout each step, it emphasizes applying best practices like user research, prototyping, and usability testing to prevent usability problems and ensure products are easy to use.
Knowledge discovery in databases involves the non-trivial extraction of implicit and previously unknown information from large amounts of data. As data and information doubles every 20 months, knowledge discovery is needed to help analyze growing data volumes and extract useful knowledge. Knowledge discovery aims to find certain, interesting, and efficient patterns in data and is related to approaches like database management, expert systems, statistics, and scientific discovery. It has many applications in fields such as science, marketing, investments, and fraud detection.
