This document discusses using social media for educators to build personal learning networks. It provides examples of social media sites like Ning, Twitter, Delicious, blogs and wikis that teachers can use to connect, collaborate and share resources with other educators. The document also shares some of the author's personal social media accounts on Ning, Twitter and Delicious that she has created to participate in an online educator community and build her own professional learning network.
An Integrated Solution for Runtime Compliance Governance in SOAAliaksandr Birukou
In response to recent financial scandals (e.g. those involving Enron, Fortis, Parmalat), new regulations for protecting the society from financial and operational risks of the companies have been introduced. Therefore, companies are required to assure compliance of their operations with those new regulations as well as those already in place. Regulations are only one example of compliance sources modern organizations deal with every day. Other sources of compliance include licenses of business partners and other contracts, internal policies, and international standards. The diversity of compliance sources introduces the problem of compliance governance in an organization. In this paper, we propose an integrated solution for runtime compliance governance in Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs). We show how the proposed solution supports the whole cycle of compliance management: from modeling compliance requirements in domain-specific languages through monitoring them during process execution to displaying information about the current state of compliance in dashboards. We focus on the runtime part of the proposed solution and describe it in detail. We apply the developed framework in a real case study coming from EU FP7 project COMPAS, and this case study is used through the paper to illustrate our solution.

This document provides tips for effective preaching with a focus on delivering a message that can change lives. It recommends preachers pick a single point, determine the goal of the message, create a map or structure, internalize the content, engage the audience and find their authentic voice to avoid coming across as foolish, ridiculous or uncomfortable. The overall goal of preaching should be life change, not just information sharing.
This document discusses various online tools that can be used to create online learning environments and assessments. It describes Edmodo, an online platform that allows teachers to post assignments and communicate with students. It also mentions tools like Rubistar and Irubric that can be used to create online rubrics. Finally, it discusses challenges setting up an online learning environment within the constraints of a set curriculum but expresses an overall positive experience with online learning tools and Moodle courses.
The document discusses how social media and networking can benefit Toastmasters clubs. It begins with two explanatory videos about social networks and media. Various social media platforms are then introduced, including Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, and Meetup. The presentation emphasizes creating awareness of the club's brand, engaging people using media, and encouraging members to advocate for the club on their own networks. It provides tips for setting goals and experimenting with different tools to engage members and measure the club's success through social media metrics.
1) The document provides strategies for improving the effectiveness of meetings, such as deciding if you are the most suitable attendee, having clear objectives and outcomes, distributing agendas in advance, only attending relevant parts of meetings, ensuring meetings are absolutely necessary, and preparing and distributing discussion points.
2) It recommends scheduling meetings back-to-back to avoid wasting time switching between meeting and non-meeting modes and instead using gaps for other productive work.
3) Key tips include having a purpose for each meeting, staying focused on the agenda, and being prepared with any necessary visual aids.
This document provides an update on the lives of several sim families in Quaver Canyon. It describes David Jacobs having a dream where his deceased wife tells him to move on, hinting at his growing feelings for his employee Sarah. It then recaps several birthday events where the children age up, including Amelia becoming the first "perma-plat" sim of her generation. The document concludes with David asking Sarah on a date but she declines as he is still married, and Quinn seeing the matchmaker leave something outside her home.
The document discusses various free multimedia tools that can be used in the classroom, including photo editing software, photo sharing sites, audio streaming websites, and video creation tools. It provides examples of using Pixlr for photo editing, Flickr and Voicethread for sharing media, Pandora and LastFM for streaming audio, and Animoto, Flixtime, and Windows Movie Maker for creating videos from photos and adding effects, music, and voice recordings. The author found the class that covered these tools to be one of their favorites and thought Voicethread would be especially useful for enhancing lessons and demonstrations in the classroom.
This document provides an overview of several medieval heresies including the Catharists, Waldensians, Bogomils, Fraticelli, Patarine, and Apostolici. It defines heresy and includes perspectives on heresy from historical figures. For each heresy, it summarizes their beliefs, origins, and how they were viewed by the Catholic Church and faced persecution. It also notes how heretics were sometimes identified through their dress, phrases, or ideas that differed from Church doctrine.
The document discusses the relationship between a senior pastor (SP) and a youth leader (YL) in a church. It outlines their common and differing responsibilities, and emphasizes that they should work together through mutual trust, respect, clear communication and submission to leadership while allowing creative freedom. The YL can make the SP a friend by supporting his vision, respecting and speaking highly of him, maintaining transparency, handling youth ministry problems, and praying for his family.

The client Indiespring is producing a first person PC game called Cannon Blast and requires a 3D model to progress development and promote the game. The project aims to provide a 3D model that can be used in game production as well as promotional videos and posters. Objectives include identifying the model's style, creating the model in 3D Studio Max, researching modeling techniques for 3D fabrics, and rigging the finished model. The main goal is to define and produce a working 3D model that can later be animated and used in a game engine.

This document provides guidance for starting a Bible club or volunteering on a school campus. It recommends conceiving an idea and choosing how to reach students, then contacting the appropriate district, school, and community levels for approval. Finally, it stresses the importance of connecting with others, such as existing Bible clubs, youth pastors, and the school community through volunteering in order to get support and not try to work alone.
1) Annotation can help provide the best up-to-date knowledge to end users while preserving the historical record by involving experts in the knowledge creation and extraction process through crowd-sourcing annotation and semantic annotation.
2) While annotation is a useful tool, the answer to effectively sharing knowledge is not simple, as there are still many open issues around representation of knowledge and integration of data from different sources.
3) The presenter's past work with clinical practice guidelines and knowledge representation highlighted the importance of interaction between domain experts and knowledge engineers in developing structured knowledge representations, as well as the need for more explicit semantics through use of ontologies and linked data.
Non-profits have a significant economic impact both nationally and in Texas. In the US, there are over 1 million non-profits that generated over $1.4 trillion in revenue in 2007. In Texas, there are nearly 70,000 non-profits that generated $59 billion in revenue and have $59 billion in assets. The top 10 Texas non-profits by assets control over $30 billion and the top 10 by revenue generate over $25 billion annually, demonstrating the large economic role of non-profits.
