The document discusses the experiences and attributes of being a student. It notes that the student is skilled, educated, and has student discounts and assistance available. Trips have been planned and the student works in a focused atmosphere to stay concentrated while preparing for life outside of school. The student has a large network of support from teachers, friends, other students, coaches and tutors. Most importantly, the student is proud to be a Mary Ward student and believes in the education they are receiving.
The document summarizes an approach to smart grid pilots presented at an international conference on the roadmap for smart grids. It discusses the drivers for smart grids including increasing energy demand and sustainability concerns. It defines smart grids as digital, self-healing energy systems capable of optimizing power delivery and facilitating two-way information and power flows. The need for pilot projects to test technologies, business models and regulatory aspects before full deployment is explained. Different types of pilots including generation, transmission, distribution and utilization are proposed along with their objectives and benefits.
Seminar Best Year To Buy Sell (Ver2 Final)tjmeyer1234
The document discusses why 2012 may be the best year to buy or sell a business due to pending changes and uncertainties. It notes that current tax incentives are set to expire at the end of 2012, which would significantly increase taxes on income, capital gains, and estates. Increased regulation, litigation risks, national debt, healthcare costs, and economic uncertainty also contribute to a challenging business environment. Selling a business in 2012 allows owners to take advantage of more favorable tax rates and estate tax exemptions before their anticipated rise in 2013.

Structure of triadic relations in multiplex (social) networksEmanuele Cozzo
This document discusses methods for analyzing the structure of triadic relations in multiplex social networks. It proposes generalizing structural metrics like clustering coefficients to account for cycles that can traverse different network layers. Equations are provided to calculate local and global clustering coefficients for multiplex networks. The clustering coefficients are then decomposed and analyzed for different types of cycles. Empirical analyses of real-world social networks show their clustering structure depends on the network context, with more triadic closure occurring within rather than between layers.
The document discusses the importance of following the Sunnah (traditions and practices of the Prophet Muhammad) in Islam. It defines the Sunnah and explains that it is obligatory for Muslims to believe in and follow the teachings and guidance found in the Sunnah. While the Quran provides broad principles, the details and proper practices of many Islamic rituals and laws can only be understood through the Sunnah. Adhering to the Sunnah is an integral part of obeying Allah and the Prophet, and rejecting it contradicts Islamic belief.
Web services allow applications to communicate over the web through standard protocols like HTTP and XML. There are two main types of web services: REST services which rely on HTTP verbs to manipulate resources identified by URIs, and SOAP services which use XML and HTTP to define structured messages to access services described in a WSDL file. SOAP services require more overhead for message formatting and processing compared to the lighter-weight REST approach.
This document discusses using various media types for da'wah (Islamic preaching and proselytizing). It outlines that print media like books and magazines, audio media like tapes and radio, video media, and electronic media online can all be effective ways to convey Islamic messages. It notes the retention rates are highest for audio-visual content that uses both sight and sound. The document also provides examples of incorporating Islamic messages on bills, slogans, stickers, postcards, and leaflets as good ways to make da'wah through media. It emphasizes the importance of using languages people understand to maximize reaching others with Islamic advice.
This document provides a summary of an 80% word list of the Quran compiled by Dr. Abdulazeez Abdulraheem. It notes that if a person masters these word lists, they would only need to know 2 out of every 9 words on average in the Quran. The first 6 pages contain words that occur very frequently and make up 41.5% of the total words in the Quran. Each word is provided with its number of occurrences and common meanings to help with memorization and understanding of the Quran. Additional information and guidelines are also included to aid in using this word list to learn the Quran.
Multiplex Networks: structure and dynamicsEmanuele Cozzo
This document discusses the formal representation and analysis of multiplex networks. It begins by introducing complex networks science and the concept of abstracting real-world systems as graphs to study structure and interactions. It then defines multiplex networks as networks with multiple types of interactions or relations between nodes that can be represented as multiple layer-graphs. The document provides formal definitions and representations of multiplex networks using concepts like participation graphs, layer-graphs, coupling graphs, and supra-adjacency matrices. It also discusses analyzing and coarse-graining multiplex networks through measures like structural metrics, walks, and quotient graphs.
