This is the talk we've done at [Big Android BBQ 5](http://news.bigandroidbbq.com/2014/09/speaker-spotlight-linton-ye.html)
Designers, how do you like making design specs (e.g. redlines)? It’s boring but necessary right? What if your design could be directly used in development without any misplaced paddings, drop shadows or animation curves that you carefully considered and tweaked?
Developers, do you enjoy large numbers of seemingly minor UI tickets after you convert PSD comps to code? What if your designer could directly adjust the paddings, fonts and animations and you can focus on the functional side of the code?
There are a lot of communication issues and waste in a typical PSD-to-code workflow for developing Android apps. The increased focus on motion in Material design adds another layer of complexity. The widening gap between design and development undermines our productivity and product quality.
It is time to re-think our workflow. We need to empower designers to take direct control of the look and feel of the final product. We believe the key is to allow them to make “live prototypes”, high-fidelity prototype apps that run on target devices and can be smoothly transitioned to development.
In this talk, we’ll explore a new workflow concept for Android development where such “live prototypes” are heavily used to bring all project participants a lot closer. We will compare some existing tools and demonstrate new tools we’ve made in this space. We will also discuss our experience making apps using these tools.
Overexploitation of wildlife through practices like shark finning and overfishing can threaten species survival and collapse fisheries. Bottom trawling damages ocean floors and seamounts. While the oceans seem vast, fishing has long-term negative environmental impacts that sustainable practices could help reduce. Trophic structure in marine ecosystems involves phytoplankton, krill, small fish and larger predators, including humans. International agreements have made coastal nations responsible for managing fisheries in their economic zones, but well-regulated catch limits are still needed to allow fish populations to recover.

This document discusses the financial crisis that began in 2007. It describes the initial conditions that led to the crisis, including risky subprime assets and complex financial products. It then explains two amplification mechanisms: runs on financial institutions due to bad assets, and declining capital ratios. These mechanisms strongly interacted and spread contagion across institutions, assets, and countries. The document analyzes the dynamics of the crisis in real time and discusses appropriate short-run policies to address liquidity and capital issues. It also notes ongoing financial and economic challenges.

The River Basin Sustainability Assessment Tool (RSAT) has been applied in Mekong tributary subbasins since 2010 as part of the MRC-ISH program to help facilitate sustainable hydropower development. The RSAT evaluates hydropower projects within the broader basin context across 10 topics related to economic, technical, social, and environmental criteria. It has been tested in 9 subbasins in the Mekong region to obtain feedback and improve the tool.

Assessing livelihood piloting experiences associated with hydropower developmentCPWF Mekong
This document summarizes livelihood piloting experiences associated with hydropower development in Vietnam, Lao PDR, and Cambodia. Key outcomes include: 1) Introduction of a short term cassava variety in Vietnam that increased yields and farmer incomes; 2) Integrated rice-fish culture in Lao PDR that increased rice productivity and protein supply; and 3) Small scale aquaculture and vegetable production in Cambodia that diversified incomes and supported food security. Lessons learned indicate communities need more than one year to adopt new technologies, and partnerships with local authorities and companies can enable piloting of livelihood activities.

3. Key research questions
1. How have the villagers been using the resources after
they had resettled and what institutional factors impact
their use?
2. What are the differences within the community in use
of resources and other resources in terms of gender,
age, kinship, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and
class?
3. How have the resettlement program affected the local
people differently?
4. Under which condition and terms different groups of
people have participated in water governance and how
has this affected their livelihoods?
4. The initial findings
The household resource system has totally changed and the
local people have faced more difficulties.
Mono-crop based agriculture of cassava
5. The initial findings (cont’)
Semi-flooded land – the provincial people committee
allocated to the hydropower management board.
6. The initial findings (cont’)
Lack of consultation & participation in the resettlement process
7. The initial findings (cont’)
Compensation packages planned but not fair & transparent.
8. The initial findings (cont’)
Reponses to the challenges of the resettlement site have
been made but not effective.
9. Conclusion
• Gaps in understanding the complicated situation of
the resettlement site would lead to ineffectiveness
in responses to their challenges.
• The resettled people and local authorities have not
had a voice in the trade-offs negotiation process
and have been suffering the consequences of the
losses.
