The author had planned to attend college after high school graduation to study Christian ministry and become a missionary in Africa. However, one week after graduation the author went on a family camping trip where their horse kicked them, breaking their leg and injuring their wrist. They were taken by ambulance to the hospital where they had surgery to insert a titanium rod and screws in their leg. They spent the summer recovering with a cast on their arm, dependent on family while in a wheelchair. This experience changed the author's plans and helped shape them into the person they became.
Japan provides statistical technical cooperation to countries in Asia through bilateral and multilateral efforts. This includes exchanging missions with China's National Bureau of Statistics, providing statistical training to Chinese officials since 1986, and dispatching statistical experts to China in the 1980s. Japan also engages in bilateral cooperation under JICA with countries like Indonesia and Sri Lanka. Multilaterally, Japan hosts meetings of East Asian national statistical office heads and participates in organizations like the UN, ADB, and OECD. The document recommends collecting good practices for technical cooperation to cover both technical and management aspects.

Heidi Riley
Secretary - SFSP York
Heidi Riley serves as Secretary for the York chapter of SFSP, and is a first year Theoretical Physics student here at the University of York. Having a particular interest in nanotechnology, she feels particularly drawn to the idea that by applying innovative design and intelligent thinking, we can transform the seemingly mundane into tools and machines that can shape our future. To support this, she is also actively involved in Physics Soc at the University. Outside of her studies, Heidi is a keen musician, and is part of a variety of musical activities on campus.
The document discusses challenges with the UK's current healthcare systems which have resulted in siloed data stores and difficulties accessing complete patient information. It proposes IBM's Smarter Healthcare solution to aggregate data from multiple legacy systems and medical devices in real-time to provide contextualized patient summaries and decision support capabilities. This integrated approach aims to improve care quality and coordination while reducing costs through benefits like decreased test duplication and readmissions.
The author graduated from high school and had plans to attend college and become a missionary. She went on one last family camping trip before college. While on a horseback riding trip, her cousin's horse kicked her horse and her leg got caught, resulting in a shattered tibia and ligament damage in her wrist. She had to be airlifted to the hospital where she underwent surgery to insert metal rods and pins in her leg and wrist. She spent the summer recovering with the help of her family. Though her plans changed, she was grateful to have survived and regained her independence.
Kristen Sell graduated from high school with plans for her future, but seven days later was kicked by a horse on a camping trip and shattered her tibia. She underwent surgery to insert a rod and screws in her leg and repair ligaments in her wrist, spending the summer in a wheelchair and cast. Though scared she may never walk again, Kristen recovered from her injuries and scars, and while her life path changed, she believes it was for the better.
The document discusses the student's experiences with writing research papers in high school versus college. In high school, the teacher provided very specific instructions and guidelines for the research paper and students spent over a month working on it in class. The student feels this did not adequately prepare them for the independence required for research papers in college, where more time is spent working outside of class. The student received a good grade but does not feel the process was effective preparation.
The author argues that while financial aid helps many students pay for higher education, it does not adequately support students like herself. As a 22-year-old independent student living off-campus, she receives minimal loans that do not fully cover her tuition costs. She must work to support herself but her parents' income still factors into her financial aid eligibility. The author believes tuition costs are rising too quickly and questions whether funds are being properly allocated by universities.
Kristen Sell graduated from high school with plans for her future, but those plans changed one week later during a family camping trip. While on the trip, Kristen was kicked by a horse and shattered her tibia. She had to be transported to the hospital by ATV due to her remote location. At the hospital, surgeons inserted a rod and screws in her leg and discovered badly pulled ligaments in her wrist requiring a cast. Though fearful she may never walk again, Kristen recovered and is now able to walk, but with scars and a changed life path from what she originally planned.
The document discusses the high cost of higher education in the United States compared to other countries where college is free or more affordable. It notes that while financial aid exists, it does not adequately cover costs for many students. Tuition increases have far outpaced inflation, putting college out of reach for many average American families. Reform is needed to make higher education more affordable and accessible.

Six Sigma is a quality improvement methodology that aims to reduce defects to 3.4 defects per million opportunities. It was developed by Bill Smith at Motorola in the 1980s and has since been adopted by many major organizations. Six Sigma uses statistical tools and process improvement strategies to enhance customer satisfaction and increase profits by eliminating defects in business processes.
This document provides an introduction to Kanban, an agile methodology that focuses on visualizing and limiting work-in-progress to continuously improve workflow. It defines Kanban and how it was inspired by lean manufacturing practices. The core practices of Kanban are outlined, including defining and visualizing the workflow, limiting work-in-progress, measuring and managing flow, making process policies explicit, and using models to suggest improvement. An example Kanban board is demonstrated. Finally, the document discusses how to build a Kanban process by defining queues and work items, setting work-in-progress limits, establishing delivery cadence, and continually improving the process through Kaizen.

7. mostrAmbiente Sant’Antonio Abate è attraversato da un affluente del fiume Sarno, il rivo Marna. Le zone più distanti dal corso d’acqua(Marna) non dismettevano le colture dei cereali e del frumentone. Oltre all’agricoltura, nel nostro paese è presente anche l’attività industriale caratterizzata dalla presenza predominante di industrie del settore conserviero e strutture legate ad esso. Si annoverano circa dieci industrie conserviere in prevalenza a carattere stagionale con assorbimento di manodopera del paese e dei comuni limitrofi, che nel periodo estivo raggiunge alcune migliaia di addetti.

11. mostrAmbiente La materia prima era la stoppa derivata dalla canapa. Questa veniva legata alla ruota e mentre girava, filo dopo filo, veniva avvolta. Nasceva così l'embrione della corda. Rotoli di spago venivano attorcigliati con il girare continuo della ruota, azionata da un bambino, oppure dalla moglie dell'artigiano. I mastri funai lavoravano sempre all'aperto. Non era possibile fare diversamente, in quanto la lunghezza delle funi non permetteva la lavorazione all'interno di locali per quanto grandi potessero essere.
12. mostrAmbiente Davanti alla ruota ci doveva essere uno spazio libero di almeno venti metri per potere lavorare tranquillamente. Mano a mano che la corda si formava veniva arrotolata attorno alla ruota, fino a che non si raggiungeva la lunghezza desiderata. Era questo il sistema per potere venire incontro a certe particolari esigenze. Per fare una fune grossa il funaio produceva prima diverse funicelle di piccola e media grandezza, dopo le legava alla ruota nel numero di due, tre o anche quattro volte. La ruota girava in continuazione, mentre l'artigiano andava a piccoli passi indietro, tirando e bagnando continuamente la corda, fino a quando non terminava il lavoro. Pochi si dedicavano a questo mestiere basato soprattutto sulla precisione e abilità, dalle quali dipendeva la robustezza e la resistenza dei vari tipi di funi.
13. mostrAmbiente L’innestatore (‘o nsertator) L’innestatore è colui che si dedica alla pratica dell’innesto, un metodo per moltiplicare quegli alberi da frutta che non si possono moltiplicare per seme o per talea. Gli strumenti necessari all’innestatore sono : un seghetto (che serve a praticare le fenditure nelle piante di notevoli dimensioni),coltello da innesto, spatola, roncola, forbici, rafia e pece. Per eseguire l’ innesto le piante devono essere sane. Per far crescere bene un albero bisogna potare con gli strumenti adeguati. Secondo le antiche credenze, gli interventi di potatura vengono eseguiti con la luna calante, nel periodo che va dalla caduta delle foglie al risveglio primaverile.
14. mostrAmbiente 2. La Fiera degli animali L’origine della fiera degli animali che si svolge nel nostro paese il 17 gennaio di ogni anno ha origini molto antiche ed è dedicata al santo patrono appunto S. Antonio E’legata ad un’attività di tipo agricola. Cittadini provenienti dai paesi vicini e forestieri per l’occasione giungono nella contrada di S. Antonio Abate per acquistare masserizie, prodotti della terra ed animale e approfittano per rifocillarsi all’osteria della Taverna dove sostano e assaggiano specialità e un buon bicchiere di vino locale. La fiera si svolge nello spiazzo antistante l’antica Chiesetta di S. Antuono dove, nel giorno del Santo, in mattinata si celebra la S. Messa e successivamente si procede alla rituale benedizione degli animali.
15. mostrAmbiente Credenze popolari abatesi: il maiale andato a male S. Antonio Abate è il protettore degli animali e in particolare dei maiali. Su questo animale sono sorte delle credenze, una delle quali è quella di non far toccare, ne lavorare la carne di maiale alle persone prima dei quaranta giorni da una disgrazia. Si dice che tantissimi anni fa un uomo di nome Giuseppe fece un grave incidente per cui chiamarono il nipote che era macellaio del paese. Il signor Giuseppe resistette fino all’ospedale, ma poi spirò. Il nipote il giorno dopo ritornò al suo abituale lavoro. Successe però che appena l’uomo toccava la carne essa andava a male. Un'altra credenza è quella che quando nasceva un bambino bisognava mettere il cordone ombelicale appena reciso sotto un piatto, perché così il bambino non si sarebbe mosso, cioè sarebbe stato tranquillo e quindi la madre avrebbe potuto svolgere in tranquillità i lavori domestici 3.

17. mostrAmbiente In passato la cucina era decisamente più sana e gli alimenti erano più genuini perché c’era minor uso di prodotti chimici. S. Antonio Abate, paese di agricoltori, era molto diffuso l’allevamento di animali sia da cortile che da stalla. Vi sono innumerevoli ricette di piatti che i nostri nonni quotidianamente mangiavano e di cui molti ragazzi, oggi non conoscono neanche i sapori. Queste ricette venivano utilizzate particolarmente durante avvenimenti importanti: la Pasqua, il Natale, ecc. 4. Arte culinaria
