This document is an excerpt from a book written for children ages 7-12 who stutter. It discusses stuttering in a way to help children understand what causes it and that it is normal. The summary includes:
1) The book is written for children who stutter to help them understand stuttering and that it is a normal thing experienced by many children.
2) It explains that stuttering can vary in different situations, such as sometimes being able to speak easily and other times having difficulty. Contexts like singing, talking to pets or younger siblings may be easier than talking to adults.
3) The document aims to help children who stutter understand their experience is shared and to empower
The article summarizes key events and presentations from the 8th Oxford Dysfluency Conference held in July 2008 in Oxford, England. It discusses presentations given by experts from around the world on topics related to stuttering such as the neurological basis of stuttering, the relationship between stuttering and emotions, and factors contributing to improvement in stuttering therapy. Approximately 150 researchers, clinicians, and people who stutter from various countries attended the conference.
The Technology Centre Hradec Králové provides office space, infrastructure, and business support services to startups and SMEs. It operates a business incubator that offers favorable rental rates and consulting. The Centre also facilitates knowledge transfer between universities and companies through services like technology monitoring and intellectual property protection. It aims to link education, research, and industry in the region. The second phase of development will expand its facilities to 4,500 square meters of flexible office and lab space.
Team Cool was tasked with designing a magazine focused on the theme of "escapism". The magazine would be aimed at professionals aged 20-35, printed in the same format as the Weekender magazine by the Irish Times. It would contain feature articles and photography centered around escapism. The design would need to embody escapism through stylised realism while adhering to the production parameters of the Irish Times. Team Cool's deliverables would include magazine concepts that met best practices and reflected the objectives in the design brief, to be completed on the specified time scale.
Jefferson County implemented a next-generation IT ecosystem to modernize their technology infrastructure and better support business needs. Key objectives were to improve reliability, reduce costs, and enable business agility. Major projects included a new data center, storage area network, virtualization platform, and new software systems for assessment and recording. The multi-year implementation required collaboration across teams and with vendors. Results included improved service delivery, standardized architecture, increased capacity, and reduced maintenance costs while better supporting citizens, departments, and business growth. Effective project management, governance, and planning were essential to the success of this large-scale transformation.
This document summarizes the Summer 2005 newsletter of The Stuttering Foundation. It discusses several topics:
- NBA star Kenyon Martin joining other famous people who stutter in a Foundation brochure.
- A new brochure published by the Foundation about ADHD and stuttering.
- Media coverage of the Foundation's character Swish in publications like Woman's Day.

The document summarizes recent news and events from the Stuttering Foundation:
1) A USA Today article on speech devices that help people who stutter led to increased traffic on the Foundation's website. The article discussed a study to determine why some people benefit from these devices while others do not.
2) Hugo Gregory, an international expert in speech pathology and stuttering treatment, recently passed away at the age of 76.
3) At the American Speech-Language Hearing Association's annual convention, friends paid tribute to Hugo Gregory and shared memories of him at the Foundation's annual workshop reunion.
The document discusses performance management and IT service delivery in Jefferson County. It outlines challenges around budget, skills, quality and needs. The goals are to mature IT management processes, treat IT as a service provider, and make IT a strategic partner to business. Metrics and frameworks are used to prioritize projects based on their operational, strategic and business impact.
Jim Lindauer gave a presentation on challenges and successes of local government IT in the 21st century. He has over 20 years of experience in both private sector and government IT roles. Jefferson County, Colorado faces challenges of managing a diverse IT environment while meeting the needs of over 500,000 residents, planning for predictable growth, and ensuring public safety. However, Jefferson County has also seen successes by aligning IT with customer needs, sharing services across departments and other organizations, and launching new online services over the last year like permit searches and online tax payments.
The document discusses Enterprise Content Management (ECM) and Jefferson County's implementation of an ECM system using Open Text Livelink. ECM is used to capture, manage, store, preserve, control and access content across the enterprise. Jefferson County uses Livelink for document management, imaging, and records management. Key features of their system include taxonomy classification, folder structures, and records retention schedules. The system is used across multiple county departments and has provided benefits like storage savings and increased efficiency.
The document provides an overview of internal service funds (ISFs) used by various public sector entities. ISFs are used to better manage and track cross-departmental operational costs and capital expenditures. They increase fiscal accountability, assess total cost of ownership, and allow customer influence over budgets. The document then discusses examples of ISFs used by Arvada, Fort Collins, and Jefferson County, comparing their structures, chargeback methods, and goals in transitioning to ISFs.

1) Researchers have discovered three genes associated with stuttering for the first time. Mutations were found in the GNPTAB, GNPTG, and NAGPA genes, which are involved in breaking down and recycling cellular components.
2) The findings suggest stuttering may be a type of inherited metabolic disorder in some cases. Mutations in two of the genes have been linked to other rare metabolic disorders affecting lysosomes.
3) The discovery of the genetic basis for stuttering could lead to new treatment approaches, such as enzyme replacement therapy, in the future. However, more research is still needed to fully understand stuttering and potential treatments.
