Free Chapter Conversation And CommunityAnne Gentle
Writers and content creators are witnesses to a shift from the age of information to the age of interaction. The volume of information available is huge and the ways in which people access that information, communicate, and collaborate are changing constantly. This book addresses strategies for technical communicators to experiment with techniques for working with social media and social networking tools. This chapter specifically talks about communities and collaborative events like Book Sprints, writing a user manual in a week's time.
Included in this report, you will find a complete summary of the work completed on the ImmigrationWorksInHalifax initiative from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009. Goals include:
- Raise awareness and change perceptions on the benefits of hiring immigrants
- Provide key decision makers with the information they need to source, select, develop and welcome skilled immigrants to their workforce.
- Increase the business network of new immigrants so that they will be able to find employment related to their work experience and qualification.

Caching Search Engine Results over Incremental IndicesRoi Blanco
A Web search engine must update its index periodically to incorporate changes to the Web. We argue in this paper that index updates fundamentally impact the design of search engine result caches, a performance-critical component of modern search engines. Index updates lead to the problem of cache invalidation: invalidating cached entries of queries whose results have changed. Naive approaches, such as flushing the entire cache upon every index update, lead to poor performance and in fact, render caching futile when the frequency of updates is high. Solving the invalidation problem efficiently corresponds to predicting accurately which queries will produce different results if re-evaluated, given the actual changes to the index.
To obtain this property, we propose a framework for developing invalidation predictors and define metrics to evaluate invalidation schemes. We describe concrete predictors using this framework and compare them against a baseline that uses a cache invalidation scheme based on time-to-live (TTL). Evaluation over Wikipedia documents using a query log from the Yahoo! search engine shows that selective invalidation of cached search results can lower the number of unnecessary query evaluations by as much as 30% compared to a baseline scheme, while returning results of similar freshness. In general, our predictors enable fewer unnecessary invalidations and fewer stale results compared to a TTL-only scheme for similar freshness of results.

Is there something about Nova Scotia’s DNA that hinders the development of business-led clustering and achieving greater productivity?
Canada now faces a significant and growing productivity gap relative to the U.S., which will threaten our long-term prosperity. Low productivity is, and will continue to be, the most significant threat to Canada’s standard of living. As a result, Deloitte has invested significant time and energy in the study of Canadian productivity.
One of the findings was that in regions with cluster characteristics, business-led incubator and innovation parks can be strong catalysts for economic development. There are several leading incubators gaining global recognition.
What is hindering Nova Scotia from developing a similar clustering and innovation culture?

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

“Situated learning: legitimate peripheral
participation”
Lave & Wegner 1991
Focus of:
Learning theory
Knowledge management
5. Early years
Study of how new group members
evolve into established members
Learning through the practice of
participation
Situated learning
6. After that...
CoP structured by:
“Mutual Engagement”
Establishment of norms and construction of
collaborative relations through participation
“Joint Enterprise”
Shared understanding of “Mutual Engament”
“Shared Repertoire”
Shared vocabulary and meanings
7. Presently
Learning through social participation
The individual as an active participant in
community practices and in the
construction of his identity within the group
Community of Practice is a group of
individuals that participate in an activity
8. Structure
Domain
Shared knowledge area
Community
Strong social “Tissue” fosters interaction and
encourages the will of sharing ideas
Practice
Specific focus on practice
9. CoP in organizations
Integral part of some organizational
structures
Allows “knowledge stewarding”
Knowledge sharing to improve
productivity
Allow capturing tacit knowledge
10. CoP Roles
Reduce the learning curve of new participants
Answer more quickly to customer needs
Reduce re-work and avoid re-inventing the
wheel
Generate new ideas about products and
services
11. Features
Organically created with as many goals as individuals
Membership defined by knowledge and expertise
Indefinite duration
Active participants
Sharing of rules of thumbs and good practices, help and
support among members
12. Benefits
Social Capital
Multi-dimensional concept
Privada & public facet
Value for the individual and the group
Acquired through interactions of
information, formal sharing processes,
and learning from others
14. Individuals in the
community
Members are effective condutors of
information e experiencies
Complement organizational manuals
Fosters “storytelling” between colleagues
that improves professional skills
15. Individuals at the
community
Study shows that workers
invest 1/3 of their time searching for
information
5 times more probable ask colleagues thant
search for explicit knowledge sources
manuals, data bases or books
Integrating them in a CoP allows saving
time
16. Individuals in the
community
Member have tacit knowledge difficult to
express or store
A person may tell another how to deal with
a situation, shortening his/her learning curve
Sharing through discussions and
brainstorming
17. CoP as a bridge..
Between theory and pratice
Theory = know things (know-what)
Pratice = know how to apply theory
(know-how)
CoP help individuals in linking theory
with pratice
18. Social Presence
Communicate with each other entails
creating social presence
Degree of salience of another person in
an interaction and the consequence
salience of the interpersonal relationship
Determines the participation in a
communitiy
19. Barriers
that hinder individual participation (in
knowledge sharing) in a CoP
egos
personal attacts
big intimidatory communities
time restrictions
20. Motivation
Individuals are motivated to share when
knowledge is regarded as:
public asset
a moral obligation
a community interest
tangible incentives (raises, bonuses) or
intangible incentives (auto-esteem, respect)
21. Collaboration
Sveiby and Simons (2001)
Collaborative environment essential for
“knowledge work” to be effective
Experience, age, power e education
Enterprise dimension and distance
22. Actions to build CoP
Design the community to evolve organically
Create the opportunity of open dialogues and
external perspectives
Allow several participation levels
leaders (centre)
regular participants
less active participants (periphery)
23. Actions to build CoP
Create public and private spaces
Focus the community value
Combine novelty with familiarity
Find and follow the rhythm of the
community
24. Practice Networks
(RoP)
Variant of CoP
Informal social network that emerges
from information sharing among people
with common practice areas
Entails looser relations
Electronic networks
blogs, foruns, mailing lists
25. CoP Online
CoP virtual supported by IT
May extend traditional communities
