This document describes the seven major biomes of the world: tundra, taiga, temperate forest, tropical rainforest, desert, grassland, and ocean. It provides details on the location and key characteristics of each biome, including the plants and animals found in each one. The tundra biome is characterized by low temperatures and treeless plains. Taiga forests are the largest biome and have long, cold winters. Temperate forests have trees that lose their leaves in winter. Tropical rainforests have high biodiversity and rainfall. Deserts receive little precipitation, while grasslands cover large areas and support wildlife. The open ocean contains the most species diversity of any ecosystem.
MoneyBall: High performance at less costMurray Guy
As portrayed in the movie Moneyball, Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) the GM for the Oakland A’s implemented a performance metrics system called Sabmetrics that enabled his team to become one of most successful low budget teams in baseball!
By finding undervalued performance with on-base percentage players, young and older talent, the Oakland A’s have consistently outperformed the competition. In doing so the A’s have completely dispelled the myth that there needs to be tradeoffs between cost and performance.
If we were to adopt this same thinking for the building industry, could we deliver a CHAMPIONSHIP building that produces as much energy as it uses at no additional cost? (Net 0-0)
1) Microsoft provides business intelligence solutions that deliver insights to employees, leading to better, faster decisions.
2) The solutions include tools for analytics, reporting, dashboards and performance management that integrate with Microsoft applications and platforms.
3) Microsoft's business intelligence offerings provide a complete and integrated solution designed to deliver widespread intelligence throughout an organization.
The document describes different partner discussion strategies:
1) "Stand up, hand up, pair up!" - Students stand when their name is called and find a partner to discuss an assignment.
2) RallyRobin - Partners take turns sharing one idea about a topic until time is called, passing the discussion back and forth.
3) Timed Pair Share - The teacher assigns time for each partner to discuss a topic while the other listens, then they provide feedback before switching.
Lean to be Green is a concept that involves implementing lean thinking to achieve paradigm shift levels of performance improvement. This type of thinking will enable us to eliminate wasteful project delivery practice that is estimated to be 10% of the total cost of delivering a project, and turn this waste into truly green and sustainable buildings, developments and communities.
There are a number of organizations that are taking this approach as outlined in this short presentation.
Aplicando Azure Search en Sistemas HibridosJoseph Lopez
Esta presentación es la introducción al mundo real de las búsquedas en Azure Search. Para comprender como construir un buen funcionamiento de búsqueda de un sitio web no es sencillo, ya que para lograr este objetivo se necesita planificación de índices de búsqueda, análisis de solución técnica y buen conocimiento sobre cómo los usuarios interactúan con la búsqueda. Azure Search es un servicio de búsqueda que permite buscar en los sitios web y otros sistemas independientemente donde se encuentre si en la misma plataforma Azure o en plataformas On-Premise, permitiendo consumir resultados de busquedas con el fin de ampliar el espectro de conocimiento de un escenario a tratar. Las demostraciones que mostrare como ejemplo se basan en un sencillo sitio web para husmear profundamente con Azure Search a la búsqueda de Azure y mostrar ampliamente cómo construir soluciones de búsqueda escalable y de gran alcance sobre el mismo.

1) The document discusses how adopting lean project delivery practices can help address issues like climate change, waste, and cost overruns in the building industry.
2) It cites Toyota's use of lean to develop the highly profitable Prius hybrid car and argues a similar approach could help deliver high-performance green buildings on time and on budget.
3) The document proposes converting the $500 billion in annual waste in construction into making all new buildings net-zero by 2020, arguing that lean practices could make net-zero buildings economically viable.
LCI Boston: Commissioning for Profit, Performance & ProductivityMurray Guy
This document discusses LeanCx (Lean Commissioning) and how it can improve productivity, performance, and profit on construction projects. It describes how LeanCx expands the traditional "black box" approach to commissioning by fully integrating it into the project work structuring and production control using techniques like defining clear project requirements, testing designs to target costs and requirements, and tracking completion of systems testing. Case studies are presented that showed higher levels of investment in commissioning provided significantly better returns. LeanCx is said to work for any project as long as it creates a collaborative team with a lean system.
