Lacrosse originated as a Native American sport called dehuntshigwa'es but has since evolved significantly. It is now one of the fastest growing sports in the US, particularly at the college level since the 1950s. The creation of plastic stick heads by STX in the mid-20th century facilitated this growth by making the game lighter, cheaper, and faster-paced. Major League Lacrosse was founded in 2001 and has since expanded from 8 to 12 teams across various US cities.
Portugal is located in Southwestern Europe, bordered by Spain and the North Atlantic Ocean. The climate varies from cool and rainy in the north to warm and dry in the south. Most Portuguese citizens are Roman Catholic and speak Portuguese, though some speak Mirandese locally. Transportation infrastructure includes roads, airports, railways and ships. The economy has grown strongly in recent decades, driven by the financial and telecommunications sectors. Portugal has a parliamentary democracy and equal numbers of men and women serve in its military branches, though women are barred from combat roles.
Ice hockey is the most popular sport in Canada, with the national team being one of the best in the world having won the World Cup six times. The National Hockey League was founded in 1917 in Montreal with four teams and has since expanded to 30 teams based primarily in the United States and Canada. Famous Canadian ice hockey players include Mario Lemieux known as "Super Mario" and Patrick Kane called "Big Daddy Kane".
The document discusses strategies for system administrators to prevent failures, including planning for worst case scenarios, minimizing risks, and gracefully recovering from mistakes. It recommends documenting plans, testing changes, verifying success criteria, imagining potential issues, and reflecting on implementations through post-mortems to improve. Tools like documentation wikis, testing frameworks, staging environments, and communication with colleagues can help avoid and recover from failures.

Saint Valentine's Day is celebrated annually on February 14th and commemorates love and romance. The origins of the holiday can be traced back to ancient Roman festivals. In the Middle Ages, Valentine's Day traditions developed in England, such as exchanging love notes and putting women's names in a jar to be drawn by bachelors. Today, people celebrate by sending cards, gifts, and flowers to loved ones as well as participating in other Valentine's Day customs.
Tom and Mary are developing a design for a course project on computer supported collaborative interfaces. They discuss some initial bad ideas they had, such as a social necklace and boring coffee table. They then improve upon the ideas and propose designs for an interactive coffee table that allows users to choose and draw on topics, a magnetic bracelet that can be written on to record ideas or drawings, and a t-shirt that displays an automatic updating tag cloud from the wearer's blog reader.
Oolinnguaq and Knud Peter are from Illorsuit, Greenland. They attend school in Uummannaq and enjoy listening to music by Enok Poulsen. Their favorite film is about Greenlandic Inuit wrestling.
The traveler arrives in Rio de Janeiro and is immediately struck by the tropical climate and large, inviting trees. They go to the crowded beach and enjoy walking along the shore. Seeking food, they try feijoada, the Brazilian national dish of beans and meats in broth, along with fresh juice. Their last experience is celebrating at Carnival parades and a gay ball, immersed in the music, dancing, and joy. Rio de Janeiro makes a lasting impression and the traveler hopes to return to experience more of the local culture and celebrations.
With all the focus on social media and the opportunities it affords organizations, there is still very little traction in many sectors and roles. While marketing and communications, pr and other functional groups in technology companies have rapidly embraced social platforms and tactics, the evidence indicates that the majority of Product Managers are less likely to use social options to improve products, engage the market and identify new problems to solve with their solutions. This session will examine the state of product management and social media, while identifying 3 key takeaways which you can put in practice tomorrow to improve your understanding of buyers, your customers and the problems waiting to be solved.

Aviaq was born in Uummannaq, Greenland and still lives there today. She is in 10th grade and enjoys football, ice cream, dogs, and comedy and drama movies and music. Her favorite singer is Rihanna. Historically, her people were called Inuit but Europeans called them Eskimos, meaning "people who eat raw meat." Now they call themselves Kalaallit and no longer eat raw meat, though skin clothing remains part of their traditional attire worn for celebrations.
Implementing Strategy: Roadmaps to ReleasesJon Gatrell
This document outlines a strategy roadmap and timeline for implementing releases. It discusses having a vision that is greater than existing plans and activities, and the importance of measuring outcomes. A few potential concepts are described at a high level, including one focused on generating revenue in the near term and another more visionary idea. The roadmap provides context and sets expectations around confidence levels for concepts without being too concrete. It also includes probable and theoretical timelines for releases with key dates for events in June and September.
The document discusses the implications of Web 2.0 for financial institutions. It notes that Web 2.0 has driven technology changes like broadband and convergence, as well as societal changes like increased communication and individuality. Web 2.0 also challenges companies to communicate authentically with customers online. New applications like lending platforms and payment systems are developing, increasing product diversity but also competition. The conclusion states that Web 2.0 brings both opportunities and challenges for financial institutions, and that companies should seek to drive changes rather than just react to them.
El documento hace un llamado a favor de la paz mundial. Señala que el mundo está en guerra y de luto, y pide que este mensaje sea traducido a todas las lenguas para que todos, sin distinción, puedan participar en esta gran petición por la paz. El mensaje busca convencer incluso a aquellos que no quieren entender la necesidad de que en nuestro planeta la paz se sobreponga a todas las cosas.
This document provides an overview of ontologies and the semantic web. It defines ontologies as formal specifications of conceptualizations that are shared between people and computers. Ontologies provide a common vocabulary and conceptual structure to facilitate understanding between humans and machines. They allow different systems and communities to work together by providing shared definitions of concepts and relationships. The development of ontologies and the semantic web aims to make web resources more computer-readable and enable machines to better understand and process online information.
