Special Report - The World Is Flat
Thomas Loren Friedman is an American journalist and author known for writing on foreign affairs and globalization. In his book "The World Is Flat", Friedman argues that 10 forces have converged in recent decades to flatten the global economic playing field. These forces include the fall of the Berlin Wall, the rise of the internet and technologies like Netscape, outsourcing, offshoring, supply chaining, and wireless networks. Friedman asserts that the combination of these 10 forces, along with complementary software, internet proliferation, and developing countries opening their markets, created perfect conditions for the rapid globalization seen today.

Evolution of Technology discusses how technology has advanced from basic tools to modern devices and networks, changing how people interact and share information. However, increased connectivity has consequences for privacy as more personal data is exposed. While technology will continue to evolve, its effects on society must be carefully considered to avoid unintended harm.
The World is Flat
The document summarizes Thomas Friedman's book "The World Is Flat" which discusses how globalization in the early 21st century has leveled the global playing field for business. It identifies 10 "flatteners" such as outsourcing, offshoring, supply chaining, and digital technologies that have driven global integration. Friedman believes these forces created a new platform for global collaboration. The book also discusses remedies for American workers to adapt their skills and for the government to make job switching easier to compete in the new flat world.

EMSS Scheme
The emss scheme is not another safety passport scheme, but an umbrella for existing passports. It makes use of the considerable knowledge and experience of the people within the organisation to audit and approve existing safety passports, which already meet the industries exacting standards for safety health and environment. The scheme has a second constituent, which is the Competency Logbook. This enables the holder to maintain a portable competency training record that he/she can keep updated themselves. This provides the holder with the flexibility to improve their standards in the best way for themselves and gives the client the confidence to know that the card being carried shows that holder has met the essential minimum standard that they helped to drive.
The emss system takes the commitment to SHE management and performance a step further, by allowing time and funds that would have been used to put operatives through a multitude of very similar passport schemes involving much unnecessary duplication, to be better used for more relevant and specific SHE training requirements for the workforce.

Jump back in time to 1974. In a Harvard dormitory, Bill Gates, future cofounder of Microsoft, is goofing off playing poker and pinball. Over in India, Steve Jobs, future cofounder of Apple, has shaved his head and is wandering around seeking enlightenment. Out in Hawaii, Steve Case, future cofounder and head of AOL Time Warner, is busy writing album reviews for his Honolulu high school newspaper. While these future billionaire CEOs of Internet-industry behemoths are busy enjoying their last teenage years, at a university town in Illinois the 'Net' has already arrived. Indeed: it's in full swing!
In the following years the germ cell of Lotus Notes began to grow and to evolve to the world's leading groupware application.
Follow the timeline from the past to present in the history of Lotus Notes / Domino.
My dotJS Talk
The document discusses the evolution of the web over the next 10 years. An estimated 5.6 billion more people will go online, primarily using smartphones and tablets rather than PCs.

New Technology Lecture L16 A Worldwide Network
The Internet grew out of US efforts to build the ARPANET, a network of peer computers built during the cold war. The two major players were military and academia. The network was simple and required no efforts for security or social responsibility. The early Internet community was mainly highly educated and respectable scientist. In the early 1990s the World Wide Web, a hypertext system is introduced, and soon browsers start to appear, leading the commercialization of Net. New businesses emerge and a technology boom known as the dot-com era.
The network, now over 40, is being stretched. Problems such as spam, viruses, antisocial behaviour, and demands for more content are prompting reinvention of the Net and threatening its neutrality. Add to this government efforts to regulate and limit the network.
In this lecture we look at the Internet and the impact of the network. We will also look at the future of the Internet.

Tastes Great, More Satisfying!
Jim Peterson is a home brew hobbyist in Franklin, KY who enjoys making beer at home. Home brewing beer allows one to make better tasting beer than cheap beers at less cost than imports and microbrews. To get started, one needs basic equipment like sanitizers and vessels for boiling, cooling, fermenting and storing. The basic process involves sanitizing, adding ingredients like barley, water, hops and yeast, boiling, cooling, fermenting, and bottling or kegging for storage and serving. Local home brewing clubs and books/software can provide resources for recipes and guidance.
