Meatless Monday is a campaign that encourages people to not eat meat on Mondays. It was originally started during World War 1 to reduce meat consumption. The campaign believes cutting back on meat has health benefits and positively impacts the environment by reducing the resources needed for meat production. The researchers conducted a focus group with college students to understand their perspectives on Meatless Monday, including why they participate and how it affects their lifestyle. They found a variety of reasons for participation and plan to further analyze the data and present their final results.
The teaching of the English language is worth a lot of money for three key reasons:
1) Textbooks and courses for learning English at various levels can be extremely expensive and take a significant amount of time to complete.
2) Producing English language education requires few resources like workers, equipment, or spare parts compared to traditional industries, making it more reliable.
3) As English has spread globally through British colonies and become an official language in many countries, the market for learning English has expanded tremendously, establishing it as a major business worldwide.
This document contains several random facts, including that all babies are color blind at birth, McDonald's salads contain more fat than their burgers, watermelons can cost up to $100 in Japan, and all the swans in England belong to the Queen. The author hopes these facts were sufficiently random.
Room to Breathe: The BA's role in project estimationufunctional
What's the Business Analyst's role in project estimation?
According to this presentation, it's "Getting the project through the Hot Zone, with Room to Breathe."
Room to Breathe means enough time for the team and project manager to deal with the remaining uncertainty as it comes up.
The Hot Zone starts when up-front requirements and planning are yielding diminishing returns, the pressure to commit to a plan is mounting, and there's still more than about 25% uncertainty in the estimate.
The difference between a requirements gatherer and a Business Analyst is that a BA provides great decision support, and the estimation problem is at the heart of that.

1) Property rights and free markets that allow for voluntary exchange have led to unprecedented prosperity by incentivizing cooperation and specialization through trade based on comparative advantage.
2) Secure and transferable private property rights are necessary to define ownership, allow for the efficient allocation of resources via prices set by supply and demand, and incentivize innovation and wealth creation.
3) Countries with institutions that protect private property and allow for free exchange and trade, as measured by indices of economic freedom, tend to experience greater prosperity and growth.
This document provides guidance on AP style for several terms:
1) Use "agent" instead of "Special Agent" except when using the formal title before a name or in special contexts like the FBI.
2) Capitalize "Capitol" when referring to the U.S. Capitol building or state capitol buildings. Use "capital" for money, equipment, or a city where a government is located.
3) Use "foul" for something offensive or out of line and "fowl" for birds used as food like chickens.
4) Spell out all state names when alone and abbreviate most state names in datelines or short lists, except for eight states that
The Romans built a 120 km long wall that was six meters high in places, with military camps spaced every seven km, to defend their empire that spanned 4,000 km. While the rich and poor lived very differently, they both enjoyed frequenting the free public baths. The Romans established the foundations of their civilization on the seven hills near the Tiber River, with the legend telling of brothers Romulus and Remus, and the transition to a republic after King Tarquinius Superbus.
Learnings from Hybrid App Testing Jijesh MohanvodQA
This document discusses testing a hybrid book reader application built with Phonegap, HTML5, and CSS3 for the iPad. It recommends testing the app on actual devices rather than simulators due to differences in user interactions, screen sizes, and orientations. The document outlines areas to focus testing on, including app performance, memory usage, compliance with App Store guidelines, handling of user gestures and touch events, and network connectivity in various conditions. Automated testing is suggested but noted to have limited support for hybrid apps. Testing across multiple devices using a mobile grid is proposed for report consolidation.
