Aliens are a common element in many works of science fiction. They are typically depicted as more advanced lifeforms from other planets that are either hostile invaders or peaceful visitors exploring Earth. Some key examples include the Cylons from Battlestar Galactica who seek to destroy humanity, and the various alien races Greg encounters through space travel in many Star Trek episodes who have diverse cultures and technologies. Aliens allow science fiction writers to reflect on humanity and ask profound questions by placing people in contact with lifeforms that are both similar and different from us.

This document provides guidance on photo assignments for storytelling projects. It discusses shooting a series of 15 images for social media and an audio slide story with at least 7 photos. Key elements of the audio slide story include 1-2 minutes run time, use of multiple audio files like narration and music, and inclusion of titles and captions. It also covers different types of camera shots like wide, medium, and close-up shots to tell a complete story. Guidelines are provided on a "five shot rule" to construct a story through different shots like scene setters, connecting characters, portraits, and capturing details and action.
This document discusses the different values of bread, including its financial, community, and emotional worth. It notes that bread provides love, health, nutrition and hope beyond its monetary cost. The document also hints that combining these values can create "magic" and mentions having a plan.
This document discusses building donor loyalty by reducing attrition rates. It notes that improving attrition rates by 10% can increase revenue generated by 50-200%. It examines reasons why donors may stop supporting an organization, such as no longer being able to afford it, feeling other causes are more deserving, or not being reminded to give again. The document discusses the importance of donor satisfaction, commitment, and trust in driving loyalty. It recommends organizations drip feed performance data, demonstrate competence and good judgment, be honest about mistakes, and develop a complaints procedure to build donor trust over time.
The document discusses the importance of renewable energy and outlines 3 key benefits: it is better for the environment by producing less pollution than fossil fuels, it reduces dependence on foreign oil which enhances national security, and it can create new jobs in manufacturing and installing solar panels, wind turbines, and other renewable energy technologies.

Louisa and David Stone operate Bicycle Recycle, a program in Williamsport, PA that aims to promote cycling culture and the benefits of biking. Through their volunteer-run shop, they teach bike repair skills, redistribute donated bikes, and advocate for more bike-friendly infrastructure like lanes and racks. Their goals are to cultivate community, encourage responsibility, and make Williamsport a more livable city by strengthening urban cycling connections. While they have made progress growing local interest, more work remains to fully realize a bike-integrated community and accommodate cyclists at local events.

Исландское Общество Учёных осуществило проект застройки базы отдыха для своих сотрудников на юго-западе Исландии на берегу озера Laugarvatn. Двадцать гостиничных домиков по проекту архитектурного бюро PK отличаются высокой экологичностью и привлекают внимание живописной озеленённой крышей. Весь грунт, вырытый при строительстве, был использован для возведения ветрозащитного бункера, который огораживает террасу и соединяет живую крышу с землёй.

Quantitative Comparison of Artificial Honey Bee Colony Clustering and Enhance...idescitation
This paper introduces a comparison of two popular
clustering algorithms for breast DCE-MRI segmentation
purpose. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an advanced
medical imaging technique providing rich information about
the human soft tissue anatomy. The goal of breast magnetic
resonance image segmentation is to accurately identify the
principal mass or lesion structures in these image volumes.
There are many methods that exist to segment the breast
DCE-MR images. One of these, K-means clustering procedure
provides effective solutions in many science and engineering
fields. They are especially popular in the pattern classification
and signal processing areas and can segment the breast DCE-
MRI with high precision. The artificial bee colony (ABC)
algorithm is a new, very simple and robust population based
optimization algorithm that is inspired by the intelligent
behavior of honey bee swarms. This paper compares the
performance of two image segmentation techniques in the
subject of breast DCE-MR image. In the experiments, the
real dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance images
(DCE- MRI) are used. Results show that artificial bee colony
algorithm performs better in terms of segmentation accuracy,
robustness and speed of computation.
The document discusses how organizations like the National Wildlife Federation use social media to engage with the public and protect wildlife. It outlines several strategies for social media use, including listening to audiences, sharing photos and art, offering ways to take action, and responding quickly to issues. The key message is that social media provides new opportunities to accomplish conservation goals through crowdsourcing data, fundraising, and forming partnerships.

This document describes an educational game to help students learn English sentence structure. The game has students gather words, phrases, or punctuation and use them to form sentences in the correct order. It has multiple levels that gradually increase in complexity as students work with different parts of speech, grammar rules, and tenses. The goal is for students to build skills in correctly forming sentences so they can advance to higher levels of the game and ultimately master English sentence structure through gameplay.
The document provides a fundraising resource development plan and annual campaign recommendations for the Kimball-Jenkins organization. It analyzes the external environment of Concord, NH, reviews the strengths and weaknesses of the 2011 annual campaign, and recommends a 5 step process for the 2012 campaign including conducting a fundraising audit, developing fundraising planning with objectives and strategies, creating a tactical plan, developing a budget, and implementing monitoring and control. The recommendations aim to help Kimball-Jenkins improve its annual fundraising efforts.
This document outlines the schedule and requirements for the SIO 110: Introduction to GIS and GPS for Scientists course during the Winter Quarter of 2009.
