and personal life, Elizabeth
Gryte demonstrated an
uncommon dedication and
commitment to easing the
settlement process for
refugees and immigrants upon
their arrival in Canada. For the last decade, Elizabeth

Alwin Sixma - IP Event
The document discusses intellectual property rights and campaigning efforts to bring more balance. It focuses on restrictions imposed by the music and film industries that hamper innovation and consumer access. National consumer organizations in Europe placed pressure on iTunes by filing complaints, which led iTunes and EMI to start offering more digital music without digital rights management restrictions. This changed the competitive landscape and demonstrated that DRM-free music can be successfully sold. The document advocates campaigning at the national and EU levels to promote legitimate consumer interests and rights regarding intellectual property regulation and influence monopolistic behavior of rights owners.
Eutanasia
El documento habla sobre una conversación entre un hombre y su esposa sobre la eutanasia. El hombre le pide a su esposa que no lo deje vivir en estado vegetativo dependiendo de máquinas y que en ese caso lo desenchufe. Sin embargo, su esposa malinterpreta y desenchufa el televisor, la computadora y otras cosas, causando confusión.

Towards a Pedagogy of Comparative Visualization in 3D Design Disciplines
Spatial visualisation skills and interpretations are critical in the design professions, but traditionally difficult to effectively teach. Visualization and multimedia presentation studies show positive improvements in learner outcomes for specific learning domains. But the development and translation of a comparative visualization pedagogy between disciplines is poorly understood. This research seeks to identify an approach to developing comparable multimodal and interactive visualizations and attendant student reflections for curriculum designers in courses that can utilize visualizations and manipulations. Results from previous use of comparative multimodal visualization pedagogy in a multimedia 3D modelling class are used as a guide to translation of pedagogy to architecture design. The focus is how to guide the use of comparative multimodal visualizations through media properties, lesson sequencing, and reflection to inform effective instruction and learning.

This document summarizes St. Louis Community College's efforts to expand and improve its Digital Arts program. It discusses conducting a Tech Scan focus group with local employers to identify workforce needs, developing new courses and revising certificates based on the findings. This included creating courses in areas like computer animation, modeling, interactive design and motion graphics. The college also faced challenges like limited space but plans to address this through distance learning and expanding to other campuses. The goal is to ensure the program offers relevant and rigorous training to meet industry demand for skilled digital media workers.
Multifaceted Benefits of Studio Based Service Learning
Our senior commercial (non-office) studio partnered with a local inter-denominational church on the brink of beginning a building campaign but was without direction. It will be shown how the process not only benefited multiple entities, but also facilitated the meeting of course objectives. There can be many challenges to such a project type but early planning and an open dialog with the client group and students alleviated many issues. Concerns: Aligning client needs and expectations with course competencies; Beliefs/preferences of students; Preliminary planning for instructor. Prior to student involvement, basic conceptual goals were discussed with the committee and a potential site was acquired to give students as practical an experience as possible. The committee was informed of the course competencies to be retained and the time commitments required of this partnership.
Students were given background information about the church and its founders, learned about the developer, and analyzed the master plan of the site. Students were given brief research and on-site observation homework assignments (re: liturgical design, multi-use facilities, etc.) and returned to class to pool their findings. Students and I discussed how designing this type of large scale, mutli-use facility and how the future pro-bono client interaction would benefit them as future designers. This allowed them to take more ownership of the project and set aside discomforts they may have had with the subject matter. Students developed, as a group, their own programming list based on findings in their research and the preliminary conceptual ideas of the committee. They interviewed the committee and toured the proposed site with the developer. Students forecasted attainable sustainability goals, design appropriately and documented their solutions. Client contact continued throughout the semester through email correspondence, a midterm visit by the committee to our studio, and a final presentation to the committee and professional jurors. During winter break, student projects were put on display at the current facility for viewing by the congregation and community. Students grew from the client interaction and real world application and reacted positively to the overall experience. Course objectives were enriched through authentic client, tangible project site, and ongoing communication opportunities. ; The client/end user received free design ideas for a potential building campaign and assistance with developing the organization’s facility program. ; For the instructor, this served as an important addition to the teaching and service categories of academic advancement. Creative activity and scholarship opportunities were attained by professional exposure and supplemental consultations; Positive program exposure was an advantage for the university while the ID profession benefited from exposing a local audience to the true responsibilities of professional designers.

Cette présentation se penche sur le défi de faire le design d’un cours en ligne portant sur les médias sociaux à l’université. Tenant compte des implications des cours en ligne, et faisant face au défi d’enseigner un cours portant sur les médias sociaux, notre équipe s’est attaquée au problème en utilisant l’apprentissage par problème (APP) ancrée dans une perspective pédagogique socio-constructiviste. Le cours en question, intitulé « Digital Communication Technologies » fait partie d’un nouveau programme de baccalauréat en « Adult Education and Digital Technologies ». Le design du cours comprenait trois composantes : 1) des tutoriels hebdomadaires en mode synchrone; 2) des discussions quotidiennes en mode asynchrone à travers plusieurs interfaces telles qu’un système de gestion de l’apprentissage, un site de micro-blogging, un site de réseautage social et plusieurs « mashups »; 3) des objets d’APP en format vidéo pour chaque session, rassemblés sur un canal YouTube. Puisque l’opérationnalisation des concepts théoriques en actions n’est jamais chose facile, les professeurs se sont engagés dans un processus de pratiques réflexives quant à l’APP avant, pendant et après le cours. Nous présenterons le design du cours, les réflexions des professeurs, ainsi que les réactions des étudiants quant à leur rôle.

Argument may be difficult to follow without the rest of my verbal explanation, but I wanted to share it anyway.
Video Games, Virtual Environments & Education
This document discusses the potential educational benefits of using video games and virtual environments in higher education. It provides examples of games being used to train skills like surgery and investigatory work. Researchers found games help develop strategic thinking, planning, and teach valuable cognitive and teamwork skills. However, negatives include potential for addiction, isolation, or reinforcing harmful stereotypes. The document advocates that games should be viewed beyond entertainment and have untapped potential for teaching when designed appropriately.

Economic trends from a business point of view (May 2024)Інститут економічних досліджень та політичних консультацій
“Amidst Tempered Optimism” Main economic trends in May 2024 based on the results of the New Monthly Enterprises Survey, #NRES
On 12 June 2024 the Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting (IER) held an online event “Economic Trends from a Business Perspective (May 2024)”.
During the event, the results of the 25-th monthly survey of business executives “Ukrainian Business during the war”, which was conducted in May 2024, were presented.
The field stage of the 25-th wave lasted from May 20 to May 31, 2024. In May, 532 companies were surveyed.
The enterprise managers compared the work results in May 2024 with April, assessed the indicators at the time of the survey (May 2024), and gave forecasts for the next two, three, or six months, depending on the question. In certain issues (where indicated), the work results were compared with the pre-war period (before February 24, 2022).

Ending stagnation: How to boost prosperity across Scotland
A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?

The Rise and Fall of Ponzi Schemes in America.pptx
Ponzi schemes, a notorious form of financial fraud, have plagued America’s investment landscape for decades. Named after Charles Ponzi, who orchestrated one of the most infamous schemes in the early 20th century, these fraudulent operations promise high returns with little or no risk, only to collapse and leave investors with significant losses. This article explores the nature of Ponzi schemes, notable cases in American history, their impact on victims, and measures to prevent falling prey to such scams.
Understanding Ponzi Schemes
A Ponzi scheme is an investment scam where returns are paid to earlier investors using the capital from newer investors, rather than from legitimate profit earned. The scheme relies on a constant influx of new investments to continue paying the promised returns. Eventually, when the flow of new money slows down or stops, the scheme collapses, leaving the majority of investors with substantial financial losses.
Historical Context: Charles Ponzi and His Legacy
Charles Ponzi is the namesake of this deceptive practice. In the 1920s, Ponzi promised investors in Boston a 50% return within 45 days or 100% return in 90 days through arbitrage of international reply coupons. Initially, he paid returns as promised, not from profits, but from the investments of new participants. When his scheme unraveled, it resulted in losses exceeding $20 million (equivalent to about $270 million today).
Notable American Ponzi Schemes
1. Bernie Madoff: Perhaps the most notorious Ponzi scheme in recent history, Bernie Madoff’s fraud involved $65 billion. Madoff, a well-respected figure in the financial industry, promised steady, high returns through a secretive investment strategy. His scheme lasted for decades before collapsing in 2008, devastating thousands of investors, including individuals, charities, and institutional clients.
2. Allen Stanford: Through his company, Stanford Financial Group, Allen Stanford orchestrated a $7 billion Ponzi scheme, luring investors with fraudulent certificates of deposit issued by his offshore bank. Stanford promised high returns and lavish lifestyle benefits to his investors, which ultimately led to a 110-year prison sentence for the financier in 2012.
3. Tom Petters: In a scheme that lasted more than a decade, Tom Petters ran a $3.65 billion Ponzi scheme, using his company, Petters Group Worldwide. He claimed to buy and sell consumer electronics, but in reality, he used new investments to pay off old debts and fund his extravagant lifestyle. Petters was convicted in 2009 and sentenced to 50 years in prison.
4. Eric Dalius and Saivian: Eric Dalius, a prominent figure behind Saivian, a cashback program promising high returns, is under scrutiny for allegedly orchestrating a Ponzi scheme. Saivian enticed investors with promises of up to 20% cash back on everyday purchases. However, investigations suggest that the returns were paid using new investments rather than legitimate profits. The collapse of Saivian l

TechnoXander Confirmation of Payee Product Pack 1.pdf
Confirmation of Payee (CoP) is a vital security measure adopted by financial institutions and payment service providers. Its core purpose is to confirm that the recipient’s name matches the information provided by the sender during a banking transaction, ensuring that funds are transferred to the correct payment account.
Confirmation of Payee was built to tackle the increasing numbers of APP Fraud and in the landscape of UK banking, the spectre of APP fraud looms large. In 2022, over £1.2 billion was stolen by fraudsters through authorised and unauthorised fraud, equivalent to more than £2,300 every minute. This statistic emphasises the urgent need for robust security measures like CoP. While over £1.2 billion was stolen through fraud in 2022, there was an eight per cent reduction compared to 2021 which highlights the positive outcomes obtained from the implementation of Confirmation of Payee. The number of fraud cases across the UK also decreased by four per cent to nearly three million cases during the same period; latest statistics from UK Finance.
In essence, Confirmation of Payee plays a pivotal role in digital banking, guaranteeing the flawless execution of banking transactions. It stands as a guardian against fraud and misallocation, demonstrating the commitment of financial institutions to safeguard their clients’ assets. The next time you engage in a banking transaction, remember the invaluable role of CoP in ensuring the security of your financial interests.
