Halloween is approaching and this short chant encourages children to say "trick or treat" while going door to door seeking candy, and to identify what costume they are wearing while leaving the specific costume blank for the child to fill in.
Can\'t we all just get along? Introducing Ajax and making a site accessible each present their own unique challenges to development teams. Most see these as being in direct competition with each other. But, by embracing some new development approaches they can end up being complementary. We will look at how best to tackle making Ajax-based features accessible and point out some of the added benefits that come with taking such approaches.

El documento presenta un manifiesto pedagógico que refuta las explicaciones comunes sobre los problemas del sistema educativo español. Argumenta que no es cierto que predomine un modelo de enseñanza basado en la plastilina sobre los contenidos, que los niveles de exigencia hayan bajado, o que los docentes tengan exceso de formación pedagógica. Propone algunos principios orientadores para una escuela centrada en el desarrollo integral de los estudiantes, con contenidos relevantes, metodologías investigativas, recursos modernos,
This document lists common school supplies such as a pen, pencil, notebook, book, ruler, eraser, and chair. It also provides example sentence patterns to identify objects, including asking if an item is something specific, and responding either affirmatively or negatively depending on if it is or isn't that item.
The document discusses the City of Toronto's efforts to promote energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions through its Energy Efficiency Office and Better Buildings Partnership program. Some key points:
1) The Energy Efficiency Office develops energy efficiency strategies for the city and works on climate change initiatives like creating green jobs and making buildings more energy efficient.
2) Buildings account for 61% of the city's greenhouse gas emissions, so the Better Buildings Partnership focuses on making existing buildings and new construction more energy efficient.
3) Projects through the partnership have saved over $59 million in annual energy costs, reduced emissions by over 440,000 tonnes of CO2, and created 29,000 jobs in renewable
This document summarizes and discusses three commentaries on India replacing its Planning Commission with the new National Institution for Transforming India Aayog (NITI Aayog). The commentaries note that the change increases the power of the Prime Minister's Office and could undermine federalism in India. They emphasize implementing decentralization reforms and managing inter-regional economic imbalances to realize the goals of cooperative federalism. The historical context of the Planning Commission and challenges of balancing national coordination with local governance are also addressed.

The order of operations is a mathematical rule that determines the order in which operations are performed in an arithmetic expression. It specifies that operations inside parentheses should be performed first, followed by exponents, then multiplication and division from left to right, and finally addition and subtraction from left to right. Following the order of operations ensures that expressions are evaluated consistently and correctly.
The Art and Technology behind Crysis 3 (FMX 2013)Tiago Sousa
This session covers the visually acclaimed Crysis 3 videogame, powered by the CryENGINE 3, both from a technology and art perspective. Readers will learn about the key techniques from this project such as the rendering pipeline, lighting and materials, high dynamic range usage, anti-aliasing and post processing.
Simplifying Massive Changes with a Live Style GuideMark Meeker
What would appear on the surface to be a simple change like updating the look of a button or changing the color of a link can turn out to be a huge effort. When everyone understands what can be reused and what needs to be newly created, the team can focus discussion on how to attain the best designs.
JDay Deutschland 2015 - PHP Design Patterns in Joomla!Yves Hoppe
This document discusses various design patterns used in PHP and Joomla, including examples of how they are implemented. It covers creational patterns like factories, structural patterns like MVC and observer, and behavioral patterns. It also discusses anti-patterns to avoid. Joomla's auto-loading and class registration via JLoader is explained as helping performance and simplicity over require statements. Examples are given of how patterns like observer, MVC and strategy are combined in Joomla.
Monitoring & evaluating the usage of your Open Access JournalIna Smith
This document discusses various tools for monitoring and evaluating the usage of open access journals, including general tools like Google Analytics, platform-specific tools from SciELO SA, and journal-specific tools used by the South African Journal of Science. It provides information on tracking metrics like downloads, citations, social media engagement, and collaboration with authors and institutions to increase a journal's reach and measure its impact.
Building a pipeline to Destroy Los Angeles in 2012 - Siggraph Asia 2009hpduiker
A presentation on Bento, the central pipeline component developed at Digital Domain to enable the creation of the LA Destruction sequence of 2012 at Digital Domain.
The document summarizes and thanks several people who contributed to the development of Joomla 3.7. It recognizes Tobias Zulauf, Robert Deutz, Allon Moritz, Elisa Foltyn, Ufuk Avcu, Johannes Pappenberg, and Puneet Kala for their specific contributions. It also encourages others in the community to get involved by translating, testing, developing for, organizing, or attending Joomla events to continue improving the platform.
Torts Law A - Mid-Term Case Analysis Assignment (Distinction)Sue Stone
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
An overview of our experiments at Industrial Light and Magic to create a fully cloud based pipeline, based on Mesos, Docker and automated with Ansible.
This document provides an overview of Oracle's end-to-end cloud offerings including Java Cloud Service (JCS), Mobile Cloud Service (MCS), Mobile Application Framework (MAF) and JavaScript Extension Toolkit (JET). It demonstrates how these services can be used together in a sample application for tracking warehouse stock usage and notifications. The document outlines the technology used, application flows, service interactions and provides code snippets for integrating MCS and JET/MAF. It also demonstrates deploying a JET application to Application Container Cloud.
The document outlines 10 building blocks and attributes that can improve an organization's digital performance. These include having a digital vision driven from the CEO, a well-communicated digital strategy understood at all levels, relying on data and analytics to create value, encouraging a test and learn mentality, prioritizing investments in key areas rather than small changes, agreeing on a digital strategy at the C-level, focusing on the customer experience, having a multi-year roadmap with measured outcomes, engaging external partners, and investing in digital skills.
Brain Tumor Segmentation and Extraction of MR Images Based on Improved Waters...IOSR Journals
This document summarizes a research paper about segmenting and extracting brain tumors from MR images using an improved watershed transform technique. It first preprocesses the MR images using techniques like edge enhancement to improve image quality. It then applies a marker-controlled watershed segmentation using foreground and background markers to avoid oversegmentation. The watershed transform is further improved by removing noise, adjusting pixel values, and introducing neighborhood relations between boundaries. Finally, mathematical morphology operations like erosion, dilation, opening and closing are used to get clear edges of the extracted brain tumor in the MR image.
