When good plants go bad: Major invasive plants of Cape Breton you can do some...Mb Whitcomb
This document introduces several invasive plant species that threaten Cape Breton, with a focus on Angelica. It describes Angelica's characteristics like rapid spreading and ability to outcompete native plants. The direct threats from Angelica are detailed, such as damage to land and landscapes. Techniques for removing Angelica are provided, emphasizing the need to remove all seeds and flowers, and continue persistent removal efforts annually to control the spread. Other invasive plants that harm wetlands, forests and livestock are also briefly described.
The document discusses the use of technology in healthcare, including electronic health records (EHRs) and mobile devices. EHRs can improve patient care by facilitating tasks like prescribing medications, tracking test results, and coordinating care across providers. However, most EHR systems still cannot effectively share information or coordinate care. New technologies like smartphones and social media are also changing how healthcare providers communicate and deliver care. Comprehensive health information technology is needed to support these tools and enable evidence-based shared knowledge and decision making.
A Little Less Litter, Please, Cape Breton!Mb Whitcomb
A simple campaign based on the fact that litter begets litter. If we are above picking up a couple of pieces a day, we are part of the problem, as leaving it invites people to toss more. Also covers cigarette butt toxicity and the magnitude of litter pollution.

2014 08 14 Barbarous Barberry Invasive Plants Series Pt. 2Mb Whitcomb
Japanese Barberry (Berberis thunbergii) is an invasive plant in Cape Breton Nova Scotia. It has also been associated with Lyme disease, forest regrowth suppression, erosion, and more. We recommend removing it and not planting it on this Island as we do not have the population to remove invasive plants once they get loose. Invasive plants are pollution that reproduces on its own. NOTE: Lyme has now been CONFIRMED on Cape Breton Island.
The document provides reasons and encouragement for getting out of bed in the morning. It suggests appreciating the beauty of the world, being productive by creating or helping others, nurturing personal growth, and maintaining a sense of purpose and meaning. It emphasizes making the most of each day and continuing to learn and improve without a finish line.
Scrum methodology introduces the concept of "Empirical Process Control" where projects are divided into short "Sprints" typically lasting one to three weeks. At the end of each sprint, teams meet to review progress and determine next steps in an adaptive manner based on work completed rather than predictions. This flexibility allows projects to adjust based on outcomes, providing stability through its practices even when development becomes complex.
The document discusses the benefits of electronic medical records (EMRs) over traditional paper-based records. It notes that EMRs allow for consolidated patient information across providers, easier access to records, and improved ability to share information. The document also outlines several specific benefits of EMRs, including improved speed and accessibility of records, increased storage capacity and security, greater efficiency, and cost savings through reduced overhead. Overall, the document argues that EMRs provide multiple advantages to patients, doctors, and healthcare organizations.
The document discusses electricity, power, energy, electrical safety features, and calculating electrical costs. It explains that electrical appliances use heating elements to convert electrical current into heat. It defines power as the rate of energy transfer and energy as what is used, and provides the equations to calculate power, energy, and electrical costs in kilowatt-hours. The document also describes safety features like fuses, circuit breakers, earthing, and double insulation that are designed to prevent electric shock and fire.
Imagine a world in which your career, the careers of your friends and coworkers, and the businesses and industries built on PHP vanished overnight, or never existed at all. No Facebook. No Wordpress. Billions of dollars in online commerce, all gone. Flickr, Tumblr, MailChimp: poof!
This talk presents a dystopian world in which we are stuck updating each other via SMS or (gasp!) MySpace, reading content on corporate portals, and buying everything from just a handful of online marketplaces.
This document discusses the formulation, production, packaging, and sterilization of parenteral products. It covers various parenteral dosage forms including solutions, suspensions, emulsions, and dry powders. Production methods like sterile filtering, freeze-drying, spray drying and aseptic crystallization are described. Considerations for packaging, sterility validation, and ensuring quality are also summarized.
