GoPro sees Opportunity In It’s Amateur Daredevils
The document is a term project for a management class on GoPro. It includes sections on GoPro's vision, culture, history and an analysis of an article titled "GoPro sees Opportunity In It’s Amateur Daredevils." The article discusses how GoPro uses videos from amateur athletes to build its brand and gain a large YouTube following. It highlights GoPro's CEO saying the company produces some of the best short-form content. GoPro sponsors athletes like Shaun White who send footage each month for use in GoPro's online videos and social media. This strategy of user-generated content has helped GoPro become a household name for

Weight loss
Dealing with a sweet tooth can be challenging when trying to lose weight. Drinking water may help curb cravings temporarily, but satisfying cravings with healthy options is better. Sweet potatoes are a great substitute, as they provide fiber, vitamins, and minerals while satisfying a sweet craving naturally without added sugar. Fruit is also a good option, as long as it is 100% fruit juice without added sugars. Certain spices like cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg can enhance the natural sweetness of foods and trick the palate into thinking sugar has been added. Experimenting with different spice combinations is recommended to reduce sugar cravings.

Germany - Towards a New Growth Model?
1) Germany has shifted from an economy reliant on net exports to one more dependent on domestic consumption in recent years. This is due to strong private household spending supported by factors like low unemployment, rising wages, and government spending on refugees.
2) However, this shift may not be sustainable long-term as unemployment could rise again and income growth may slow. Germany also still has a large current account surplus, indicating domestic investment needs to increase to balance savings.
3) For the shift to domestic demand to last, Germany needs active policies to encourage more business investment rather than savings to boost productivity and competitiveness as labor costs rise.
Cancer article
This document summarizes a study examining how age-related vulnerabilities affect perceptions of colon cancer risk and behaviors to reduce risk among older adults with colon polyps. The study found that compared to middle-aged patients, older patients were less concerned about colon cancer, less motivated to reduce their risk, and less confident that behavior changes would help. Older patients also reported more physical, social, and economic vulnerabilities associated with aging. Certain age-related vulnerabilities, like multiple health issues, low social support, and inadequate income, were linked to enhanced colon cancer risk among older patients. The study suggests that interventions to reduce cancer burden in older populations need to consider unique physical and psychosocial characteristics of aging.
Map SMAC Algorithm onto GPU
The document describes mapping the SMAC atmospheric correction algorithm onto a GPU to improve its computational performance. Key points:
1. The SMAC algorithm consists of 14 computational steps that are mapped to GPU threads for parallel execution.
2. Implementing SMAC on GPU involves transferring input data from CPU to GPU memory, executing the SMAC kernel on the GPU, and copying outputs back to CPU memory.
3. An experiment compares the execution time of SMAC on CPU versus GPU. The improvement from GPU parallelization is calculated based on a linear execution-time model.
South Africa - Stuck in the Slow Lane
The document analyzes recent economic developments in South Africa. It finds that the South African economy has been slowing and falling behind its emerging market peers in growth rates. Political tensions have also risen under President Jacob Zuma, which has weakened the ruling ANC party's popularity. The rand and bonds have underperformed while the stock market has performed better. South Africa faces challenges of high unemployment, deficits, and reliance on mining while also benefitting from its human capital and infrastructure compared to other African nations.
Project Optimisation
The document discusses project optimization in the mining industry. It notes that the industry has become more challenging with tighter profit margins. Project optimization can mean the difference between success and failure. A systems approach across the entire mining process from data collection to engineering design is now considered best practice. Sophisticated data collection and geometallurgical modelling is key to optimize different parts of the mining process together.

- Founded in 1853, Levi Strauss & Co. originally sold dry goods and clothing, introducing denim jeans in 1873 which became popular with miners and ranchers
- In 1902, Levi Strauss died and his four nephews took over the business, focusing on philanthropy by providing clothing to the poor and children in the area
- Levi's launched the iconic red tab in 1936 and the Dockers khaki brand in 1986
- Harbor Home is a new home goods extension of Levi's & Strauss introducing bedding, sheets, and pillowcases made of cotton denim in a variety of sizes and prices to launch in May 2015.
Solara investor presentation
This document describes SOLARA Systems, a company providing affordable solar energy products for households in West Africa. It outlines SOLARA's team and solar panel product, which produces 3x more energy than competitors and can access the large market of over 200 million people without reliable electricity via a "pay-as-you-go" model. SOLARA has tested their concept and seeks $1 million to distribute solar systems to 50,000 homes in Ghana as an initial step towards electrifying 50 million homes across West Africa.

Chinese characters, known as hanzi, were allegedly created by Cang Jie around 2650 BC and are logographic rather than alphabetic. They are used in written Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and other East Asian languages and originated in China.

Chinese characters, known as hanzi, were allegedly created by Cang Jie around 2650 BC and provide written language for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. They are logographic characters that originated in China and are now used in East Asian countries like China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, and Singapore to write their languages.
L 10 dialogue
The document describes the speaker's Thanksgiving celebration at their maternal grandmother's house. It notes that their grandmother lives alone now since their grandfather passed away two years ago. Their grandmother cooked three turkeys and many dishes for the ten adults and five children attending. They ate many traditional Thanksgiving foods and desserts and had a fun evening playing games before returning home late at night. Thanksgiving is described as a special American holiday like Chinese New Year where families gather.
Lesson 10 2
The document discusses different grammar structures in Mandarin Chinese that involve aspect markers like 了 and 才. It provides examples of structures like V1(以後)就V2(了), which indicates one action following another; the use of 了 with quantified objects; using 到...才 to talk about lateness; and contrasting sentences with 才 and 就+了 to compare completing an action at different times. The document is a reference on several grammatical structures in Chinese involving aspect markers.
