Flexible Funding Models
This document discusses how technology disruption is forcing companies to innovate quickly while maintaining tight budgets. It suggests that creative funding models, where CFOs work with technology partners, can help companies fund new technologies in a flexible way aligned with business goals. The key is funding investments through multi-year plans tied to expected cost savings or revenue gains from projects. This allows companies to access new technologies without stressing traditional IT budgets.

Teaching Diabetes Self-Management
Teaching diabetes self-management effectively requires addressing complex patient needs over a lifetime. Public schools face challenges in providing diabetes education due to limited resources, competing priorities, and lack of specialized training for teachers. Diabetes self-management education (DSME) programs have more flexibility but struggle with variable funding, voluntary attendance, and lack of age-appropriate curricula and differentiated instruction. Both systems would benefit from identifying best practices for efficiently educating the growing number of students and patients needing diabetes self-management skills.
Helping Children Cope After Hurricane Sandy
Natural disasters can be traumatic for children. Experiencing a dangerous or violent flood, storm, wildfire, or earthquake is frightening and the devastation to the familiar environment can be long lasting and distressing. Here are some common reactions in children and how you as a parent can help lessen the mental health impact felt.
Skills Week / Adam Martin / How Is Designing An MMO Different?
MMO == Community + Game. MMO designers do more than just extra balancing and include various roles like content, environment, systems, and balance designers. When designing an MMO, it's important to consider how the game offers something for Bartle's player types of killers, achievers, socializers, and explorers.

Games:EDU 09 Phillip Bourke
This document discusses teaching new tricks to senior dogs. As dogs age, their ability to learn new commands can decrease, but it is still possible with patience. The key is keeping training sessions positive, short and focused on commands the dog has already mastered at first. Praise and treats can help motivate older dogs. While it may take longer, with consistency even senior dogs can continue learning well into their golden years.
Games:EDU 09 Kim Blake
Kim Blake has organized university open days at Blitz Games Studios since 2006 to address graduate quality issues and provide opportunities for students. The events include presentations from industry professionals, studio tours, and feedback sessions. They benefit both students and Blitz through recruiting and PR. Analysis of registrations and submissions over the years shows variability between universities and disciplines in converting to invitations. Student feedback indicates the events help gauge course quality and career preparation. Blitz will continue the open days and is launching a new website to further support students securing jobs in the industry.

The Scottish Centre for Excellence in Computer Games Education is located at the Institute of Arts, Media and Computer Games at Abertay University. It received £8.8 million over 3 years to build out over 4000 square meters of space with 270 PC and Mac workstations to support their 6 undergraduate programs, 3 postgraduate programs, and Dare to be Digital initiative serving over 740 full time students and 150 graduating students per year. The Center aims to provide institutional, sector, and agency commitment to excellence in computer games education through specialized programs, mentorship, and professional development opportunities.
Games:EDU 09 Alice Taylor
The document discusses why games are an effective medium for education according to a survey of over 1,100 teens. It finds that 97% of teens play games and at least half play daily, with little gender difference. It lists five reasons why games are good for education: 1) Teens enjoy games 2) Games can teach any subject 3) Games are still evolving 4) Games can be profitable 5) Games replace TV time. It then outlines an education game development plan focusing on annual themes and working with UK indie developers to target an "interesting" price range. A number of completed and upcoming games are listed along with evaluation metrics.
Get Into The Game Public
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Games:EDU:08 South: Jolyon Webb and Heather Williams
The document summarizes a presentation given by an art manager from Blitz Games Studios and a senior lecturer from De Montfort University on fostering collaboration between the games industry and education. Some key points they discussed include the benefits of industry guests bringing real work for students to learn from, keeping student projects focused and briefs simple, the challenges of student motivation and skills, and how communication can help education programs evolve and prepare students for careers in games. The overall message is that strong collaboration between industry and education requires open communication and managing expectations to be mutually beneficial.

Games:EDU:08 North: Matt Southern
Matt Southern ran out of time the year before, this time we gave him plenty of opportunity to speak on games and film.
Games:EDU:08 North: Gregor White
This document discusses situated learning theory and its key principles of authentic learning environments. Situated learning promotes authentic activities that reflect real-world tasks, allows learners to observe expert modeling and receive coaching, and encourages collaboration, reflection and articulation of ideas. It emphasizes social learning through communities of practice and zones of proximal development to scaffold learning. The document questions whether this approach to teaching and learning is effective.

What's a worker’s market? Job quality and labour market tightness
What's a worker’s market? Job quality and labour market tightnessLabour Market Information Council | Conseil de l’information sur le marché du travail
In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.一比一原版美国新罕布什尔大学(unh)毕业证学历认证真实可查

The Rise and Fall of Ponzi Schemes in America.pptx
Ponzi schemes, a notorious form of financial fraud, have plagued America’s investment landscape for decades. Named after Charles Ponzi, who orchestrated one of the most infamous schemes in the early 20th century, these fraudulent operations promise high returns with little or no risk, only to collapse and leave investors with significant losses. This article explores the nature of Ponzi schemes, notable cases in American history, their impact on victims, and measures to prevent falling prey to such scams.
Understanding Ponzi Schemes
A Ponzi scheme is an investment scam where returns are paid to earlier investors using the capital from newer investors, rather than from legitimate profit earned. The scheme relies on a constant influx of new investments to continue paying the promised returns. Eventually, when the flow of new money slows down or stops, the scheme collapses, leaving the majority of investors with substantial financial losses.
Historical Context: Charles Ponzi and His Legacy
Charles Ponzi is the namesake of this deceptive practice. In the 1920s, Ponzi promised investors in Boston a 50% return within 45 days or 100% return in 90 days through arbitrage of international reply coupons. Initially, he paid returns as promised, not from profits, but from the investments of new participants. When his scheme unraveled, it resulted in losses exceeding $20 million (equivalent to about $270 million today).
Notable American Ponzi Schemes
1. Bernie Madoff: Perhaps the most notorious Ponzi scheme in recent history, Bernie Madoff’s fraud involved $65 billion. Madoff, a well-respected figure in the financial industry, promised steady, high returns through a secretive investment strategy. His scheme lasted for decades before collapsing in 2008, devastating thousands of investors, including individuals, charities, and institutional clients.
2. Allen Stanford: Through his company, Stanford Financial Group, Allen Stanford orchestrated a $7 billion Ponzi scheme, luring investors with fraudulent certificates of deposit issued by his offshore bank. Stanford promised high returns and lavish lifestyle benefits to his investors, which ultimately led to a 110-year prison sentence for the financier in 2012.
3. Tom Petters: In a scheme that lasted more than a decade, Tom Petters ran a $3.65 billion Ponzi scheme, using his company, Petters Group Worldwide. He claimed to buy and sell consumer electronics, but in reality, he used new investments to pay off old debts and fund his extravagant lifestyle. Petters was convicted in 2009 and sentenced to 50 years in prison.
4. Eric Dalius and Saivian: Eric Dalius, a prominent figure behind Saivian, a cashback program promising high returns, is under scrutiny for allegedly orchestrating a Ponzi scheme. Saivian enticed investors with promises of up to 20% cash back on everyday purchases. However, investigations suggest that the returns were paid using new investments rather than legitimate profits. The collapse of Saivian l

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.一比一原版(cwu毕业证书)美国中央华盛顿大学毕业证如何办理

Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.KYC Compliance: A Cornerstone of Global Crypto Regulatory Frameworks
