This document contains a collection of Spanish phrases and idioms. Many of the phrases are nonsensical or humorous when taken out of context. Some examples include "You have more tale than little street", "Your pan has gone", and "Coward of the prairie". The phrases reference various topics but do not form a coherent story or provide much meaningful information on their own.
The document discusses a universal charger standard for mobile devices. It summarizes that in late 2008, a proposal was made to the GSMA to standardize chargers, which tasked OMTP to define technical requirements. By February 2009, OMTP published version 1.0 of the universal charger standard at MWC, outlining a 3-part solution to standardize both ends of the charger connection. While there is still debate, the standard aims to simplify charging and be more environmentally friendly.

PATTY: A Taxonomy of Relational Patterns with Semantic TypesAkihiro Kameda
This document describes a study that mines relational patterns with semantic types from text corpora and constructs a taxonomy of these patterns. The study extracts syntactic, ontological, and lexical patterns between entities, generalizes the patterns, and identifies subsumption relationships to build a directed acyclic graph taxonomy. Experiments applying this method to the New York Times archive and Wikipedia found over 350,000 synsets with 84.7% precision and over 8,000 subsumption relations with 75% precision. The resulting taxonomy is available online.
Factors influencing popularity of branded content in Facebook fan pagesToni Cañabate
Social media is achieving an increasing importance as a channel for gathering information about products and services. Brands are developing its presence in social networking sites to meet brand awareness, engagement and word of mouth. In this context, the analysis of the factors that are conditioning consumer interaction with branded content becomes a matter of interest. These slides introduce a research work that aims to shed light on those factors that are expected to impact on Facebook branded post popularity. Results suggest that the richness of the content (inclusions of images and videos) raises the impact of the post in terms of likes. On the other hand, using images and a proper publication time are significantly influencing the number of comments, whereas the use of links may decrease this metric.

The document discusses the results of a recent Progress client survey on database vendors and technologies. It hints that the winners of Apache, MariaDB, and MongoDB will be revealed, as well as the preferred database vendor for the future based on responses from a global customer base. Readers are encouraged to review the unbiased survey results to empower their company.

Thomas Paine was an English-American political activist and philosopher. He was born in 1737 in England and died in 1809 in New York City. Paine is known for writing influential pamphlets and papers that advocated for American independence and challenged institutionalized religion. Some of his most notable works include Common Sense, published in 1776, which was instrumental in promoting revolutionary ideas in the American colonies. Paine also wrote The Age of Reason and Rights of Man, which criticized institutionalized religion and advocated for liberalism and republicanism. He influenced many American and French revolutionaries with his writings and political ideas.

This document discusses the potential of mobile technologies to enhance learning and new pedagogical approaches enabled by mobile devices. It outlines how mobile devices can support [1] construction of knowledge through multimedia, [2] conversation through communication tools, and [3] learner control via sensors and location tools. Challenges include connecting formal and informal learning and managing student devices in schools. New approaches highlighted are seamless learning across contexts, personal inquiry learning using mobile toolkits, and contextual learning through "micro-sites" for field trips.
This document discusses location-aware applications for learning. It describes location-based guides, games, and information that can enhance learning in specific locations. It also discusses how augmented reality and mobile apps can help students learn about locations by identifying landmarks and providing contextual information about the landscape directly in their view. New research is exploring how to capture and display media for distant landmarks using a 3D terrain map and computing the line of sight to identify salient features and provide information about what a student is looking at in the field.

This humorous passage describes how God created healthy foods like vegetables, salad, and lean meat for people to live long lives, but Satan responded by creating or influencing the mass production of unhealthy junk foods and sedentary activities that led to weight gain and health problems for many. It portrays God as providing solutions like running shoes and bypass surgery, but Satan counters with inventions like cable TV and fast food that undermine people's health further. The passage is meant to be a lighthearted telling of how unhealthy temptations arose in the modern world.
This document summarizes several studies on health information seeking online:
1) A 2002 study found 80% of online adults look for health information online, amounting to 110 million people. Most (53%) use search engines to find information across sites.
2) A 2006 study found 80% of online Americans search for health information daily, with 66% starting on search engines like Google. Many feel more confident in decisions after searching.
3) A 2005-2007 Europe-wide study found internet health users increased from 44% to 54%. The growth occurred across all countries. The internet will be important for future healthcare.
Mike Sharples discusses two challenges for mobile learning: achieving massive scale and ensuring sustainability. He argues that some educational methods improve with scale through networked effects, like the telephone, and explores how FutureLearn demonstrates pedagogy at massive scale. Sharples advocates an approach of "bricolage" - creative play with readily available technologies. He suggests smartphones unlock potential through their sensors and that bricolage apps allowing citizen science, place-based stories, or blending Minecraft with the real world could lead to scalable mobile learning.
This document outlines plans to improve the alumni experience for the Tau Delta chapter of AEPi. It discusses establishing an alumni advisory board and foundation to facilitate mentorship, fundraising and chapter support. A survey of alumni found that they want more involvement opportunities, chapter updates and networking with other alumni. The chapter will enhance communications through an improved quarterly newsletter, online updates and a dedicated alumni website. They will also expand alumni programming at homecoming and other events both in the Chicago area and elsewhere.
The document discusses Lewis diagrams and the octet rule for drawing molecular structures. It notes that most atoms form bonds to gain eight valence electrons, with exceptions for hydrogen, groups 1-3, and atoms that can exceed eight electrons. It provides instructions for drawing Lewis diagrams: determine total valence electrons, arrange atoms with singular in middle, form bonds between atoms, and distribute remaining electrons to give each atom an octet where possible. Examples of drawing Lewis diagrams for CF4, BeCl2, and CO2 are included to demonstrate the process.
This document discusses re-inventing tourism through pervasive and mobile technologies. It suggests new forms of tourism that combine public, family, personal, social and virtual visiting experiences. Some examples mentioned include exploring tourist sites virtually before visiting, joining live guided tours from home, using augmented reality guides at locations, and engaging with places through location-based games, media and activities. The document raises questions about how to fully design cities for digitally enhanced visiting while considering issues of privacy, safety and digital rights. It discusses the Horizon Creative Visiting theme which aims to explore how to connect real and virtual visitors and re-invent culture, tourism and guiding for diverse groups through innovative uses of technology.
The document contains questions and answers about concepts related to gravity, projectiles, and Newton's laws of motion. Some of the key points covered include:
- Satellites need to be above the atmosphere to avoid air resistance.
- The maximum projectile distance is achieved at a 45 degree angle.
- Gravity accelerates objects at 9.8 m/s^2 near Earth's surface.
- Newton's three laws of motion explain forces like inertia, acceleration, and action-reaction pairs between objects in contact.
