No Silver Bullet – Essence of Content Management for the WebIntellavia
This white paper, written by Marc Piparo, Partner and VP of Technology at Intellavia, looks at one of modern day’s most complex and common web software solutions, the Web Content Management System (CMS) and Document Management System (DMS). It is important to note that Content Management and Document Management is a very misconstrued concept in the enterprise world – and often misinterpreted. But the facts are that CMS and DMS software each solve distinctly separate problems. Learn how. www.intellavia.com

Earth Day 2023 - For more than 50 years, scientists at NASA
have been using the view from space to discover our world and how air, rain, ice, land, and sea interact with each other. Through that process of discovery, scientists have developed a greater understanding of our planet’s climate and how it is changing over time. While climate change is a global challenge, its effects are local and communities’ experiences differ depending on where they are located. That is why NASA takes the next step and partners with communities around the world to put its Earth observations to work to address local environmental challenges.

Swells, Soundings, and Sustainability, but "Here be Monsters"Dawn Wright
18th Annual Roger Revelle Commemorative Lecture, National Academy of Sciences Ocean Studies Board, 5:30 – 6:30 p.m. on Friday, April 28, 2017, Baird Auditorium, Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History
From the stick charts of the ancient Marshall Islanders to the SONAR of World War II, humankind continues to devise ways to map the ocean. The newest maps, which are global, 3D, and increasingly intelligent, hold great promise for improving science and decision-making related to our oceans, but “here be monsters” to conquer data challenges. Join Dr. Dawn Wright, chief scientist at the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) and professor of geography and oceanography at Oregon State University, to learn about the past and present of ocean mapping and what must be done to overcome the challenges of “big data,” “dark data,” and the need to make data more resilient and more accessible to users.
The Roger Revelle Commemorative Lecture is presented by the Ocean Studies Board of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine in cooperation with the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. The lecture was created in honor of Dr. Revelle’s contributions to the ocean sciences and his dedication to making scientific knowledge available to policymakers.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

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.
