Rene Descartes and Baruch Spinoza were 17th century philosophers who debated the nature of reality and the relationship between mind and body. Descartes believed in dualism - that the mind and body are two distinct substances. Spinoza argued for monism, that mind and body are one substance that is dependent on God. While they disagreed on this key metaphysical point, both philosophers believed that mathematics was the best way to understand truth and that human actions are determined by preceding causes.
The document lists the dates and names of various events that took place at the BSGC in December 2009 and 2007. These include a Vacation Bible School closing, Sunday school prize-giving ceremonies, and concerts with themes of friendship and family. Dates listed are 3rd-5th December 2009 and 2007 for the events at the BSGC.
1. Global warming is causing rising average temperatures around the world since the mid-20th century. Many extreme weather events like hurricanes have increased in intensity and global sea levels could rise significantly if warming continues. However, awareness and action on this issue has been slow.
2. Kim Jong-il passed away in North Korea, leaving his son Kim Jong-un to take power. North Korea maintains a large military and has successfully tested nuclear weapons.
3. An oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico started in April 2010 after an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig. Over 6 million gallons of oil spilled into the Gulf over several weeks before the leak was stopped. The spill impacted wildlife and coastal communities.
The document lists 10 current issues in 2010: global warming caused pollution and harm to natural resources while mankind contributed to racism, immigration, obesity, economic downturn, poverty, and terrorism, and questions if these issues will ever change for the better as suggested in the song "What a Wonderful World."
Telemedicine allows for remote delivery of healthcare services using telecommunication technologies. It involves synchronous communication like video conferencing or asynchronous communication like storing images to be reviewed later. The top four medical fields using telemedicine are radiology, dermatology, psychiatry, and PACU/anesthesiology. Telemedicine provides benefits like increased access to care but also faces challenges regarding privacy, training, and replacing in-person relationships. It can help patients who have difficulty accessing care due to transportation, childcare, or living in remote areas.
The document discusses the various elements that must be considered to achieve effective communication. It identifies that all verbal and nonverbal aspects of a communication must be balanced and complementary. It then examines several key areas that must be aware of including: the personal characteristics of the sender and receiver, the environment of the communication, differences in audience, ensuring the message is clear, choosing an effective arrangement for the message, properly presenting the message, and evaluating the communication's effectiveness. Achieving harmony across all these elements is necessary for a message to be understood and impact its intended audience.
The document lists 10 current issues in 2010: global warming is changing the world while pollution and lack of care for natural resources are not helping; racism has impacted history and immigration will impact the future as populations migrate; obesity and overconsumption as well as economic downturn and poverty are problems if not addressed; and terrorism continues to be an issue unless changes are made to reduce these problems over time.

This document discusses the opportunity costs and marginal costs and benefits of attending college versus not attending college. It notes that the opportunity costs of not attending college include limiting career and income potential, as well as limiting ability to contribute to one's community. The marginal costs of college include tuition, fees, supplies, and lost time/wages. The marginal benefits include higher lifetime earnings, career advancement opportunities, knowledge and skills gained, and improved social and problem-solving abilities. It concludes that while college has obstacles, the benefits of the degree can make the journey worthwhile if the benefits outweigh the costs.
The document analyzes how the theme of denial is used in William Faulkner's short story "A Rose for Emily", Arthur Miller's play "Death of a Salesman", and Edgar Allan Poe's poem "The Raven". In each work, the main characters refuse to acknowledge reality and instead live in a dream-like state. This temporary denial leads to negative consequences for the characters. Some of the ways the characters deny reality include Emily Grierson denying her father's death and murdering her lover, Willy Loman denying his mediocrity as a salesman, and the narrator of "The Raven" denying the death of his love Lenore.
The document summarizes the evaluation of alternatives for the Altamont Corridor Rail Project between Stockton and San Jose. It identifies feasible alignments and station locations to carry forward for further environmental review. Key highlights include recommending alternatives that avoid impacts to sensitive habitats, involve connections to BART in Livermore and Fremont, consider impacts in the Tri-Valley area, and provide options for phased implementation. The evaluation considers factors such as travel time, environmental impacts, constructability and public input to identify the alternatives best addressing the project's goals.
This document provides a project update and overview of initial alternatives for an intercity passenger rail project in the Altamont Corridor. It summarizes the project inception, partnership with the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission, and goals of providing regional rail service connecting the Bay Area and northern San Joaquin Valley. The document identifies initial alignment alternatives in the Bay Area, Tri-Valley region, and San Joaquin Valley based on scoping meetings. It outlines next steps to commence alternatives analysis and coordination with local agencies on refining the alignments and stations.

Stormvarsel er en fremtidsrapport. Vi dykket dypt i utviklingstrender, scenarioer og markedstrender, og tar med oss hovedkonklusjoner til overflaten. En svimlende gjennomgang av de teknologiene og endringene du må ta høyde for de neste 3-5 årene. Vi gir også eksempler på bedrifter som har lyktes i å utnytte drivkreftene til å realisere nye muligheter.
Mange er kjent med ulike bonusprogrammer, fordelskort, klippekort og rabattkort. Her kan du tjene opp bonuspoeng som senere kan brukes til uttak av varer eller tjenester, eller du kan få en gratis kopp kaffe eller bilvask. Disse programmenes målsettinger er å øke kundelojaliteten. Tradisjonelle lojalitetsprogram skaper kun lojalitet til den beste dealen (les: laveste pris), og mislykkes på det som skulle vært det fundamentale: skape ekte lojalitet – slik at du som forbruker motstår konkurrerende tilbud. I dette innlegget skal vi se på hvordan vi kan utnytte innsikt i teknologi, Big Data og gamification til å skape motivasjon og engasjement hos kunder. Dette skal omsettes i lojalitetsprogrammer som virker. Vi skal vise konkrete eksempler på programmer, gi en beste-praksis fremgangsmåte og indikere hva lojalitetsprogrammer vil kreve av investeringer.

Dersom du har et godt intranett, vil du spare tid, øke kompetansen og kvaliteten i organisasjonen, de ansatte får mer presis og oppdatert informasjon, man skaper en felles bedriftskultur som stimulerer til innovasjon og samhandling, og de ansatte blir generelt mer effektive og fornøyde.
