- Bucharest is the sixth largest capital city in the European Union in size and was designated the capital of Romania in 1659.
- The first roads in Bucharest were paved with tree trunks and later river stones, and it was one of the first cities in Europe to have horse-drawn omnibuses in 1840.
- In the early 20th century, Bucharest was considered one of the most beautiful and modern cities in Europe, comparable to Paris, earning it the nickname "Little Paris."
Greg Smith, a 12-year veteran of Goldman Sachs, resigned from the firm in an op-ed published in the New York Times. He argued that the culture at Goldman Sachs had become toxic and was no longer focused on serving clients. Smith said the interests of clients had been sidelined in favor of making money at any cost. He also stated that leadership had lost hold of the firm's culture of teamwork, integrity and doing right by clients. Smith hoped his resignation would be a wake-up call to the board to refocus on clients and weed out morally bankrupt people only interested in profits.
This document discusses 11 common mistakes that job seekers make during a job search. These mistakes include a lack of focus, poor presentation materials like resumes and elevator pitches, overreliance on online applications without follow up, insufficient networking efforts, being too passive in outreach rather than proactive, poor interviewing skills, unrealistic expectations of the job search process, inconsistent effort, failure to acknowledge help received, and not utilizing a career coach. The document provides advice on how to avoid each mistake by developing a clear game plan, strong presentation materials, active networking, proactive outreach, focused interviews, and consistent long-term efforts with the help of a career coach if needed.
Huntingdon Fusion Techniques Limited is a UK-based company established in 1975 that designs and develops weld purging accessories and pipe plugging systems. It has grown into a multi-million pound organization through acquisitions and expanding its factory in Wales. The company produces a range of products including inflatable pipe purging systems, weld purging monitors, and pipe plugs that are sold internationally through an exclusive distributor network to industries involving welding such as construction, aerospace, and shipbuilding.
The document describes applying different audio effects to a corridor recording using glitch and dub delay effects. The glitch effect made the recording sound very robotic and machine-like by repeatedly clicking the "both" button to find an altered sound. Though the words were not clearly pronounced, the original recording could still be recognized. The dub delay effect changed the sound differently than the original and first manipulation, adding echo-like qualities and a drifting, far away sound. It also repeated some words like harmony singing.

This document discusses strategies for coping with online education. It suggests that educators can help students cope with distance learning by structuring programs and courses to be supportive. Specifically, it recommends improving existing online programs by adding new methods and technologies, and advising students on how to approach distance education, common pitfalls, and techniques for being successful. The document also references a study on an online degree program that sought to gain student and staff perspectives on improving online class materials, support, and lifestyle for students.
Robots in Museums - An Analysis of Best Practice in HRIAndreas Bischof
The Talk presents a Meta Study of 60 Papers about Social Robots in Museums. The specific scenario "Tour-Guide Robot" provides several challenges, social Robots have to accomplish for everyday life usability (e.g. "sponateneous short-term interaction"). Due to this between 1996 and 2005 more than 25 different Robots were built for museal Use.
I I evalueted these Robots concerning their attributes in Human Robot Interaction:
- How did the constructers modelled the User?
- What was the Project Goal / The Main Task of the Robot
- How could the robot 'interact' with visitors
- What results brought up the implementation in the real life environment Museum?
As conclusion the Presentation introduces three different Examples of Museum Robots to show two main principles for HRI: honesty and deception.
This document introduces OpenStack, an open source cloud operating system. It discusses how OpenStack provides a common platform for both private and public clouds by automating resource control and management. It highlights how OpenStack originated from Rackspace and NASA to address the lack of an existing solution that meets their needs. The document also summarizes key OpenStack components, stats on its community and adoption, and how Rackspace can help organizations deploy and support OpenStack clouds.

Edison Research conducted a study on mothers' media habits called "Moms And Media 2011". The study found that mothers spend more time online daily than the general population, with over 2.5 hours a day on average. It also found that mothers are highly active on Facebook, with 62% having a profile, and that smartphone ownership among mothers has increased significantly in recent years. The report provides a comparison of mothers' media behaviors to fathers and the general population, with a focus on what makes mothers unique in both online and offline media consumption.
This document describes an Android-based self-service solution that provides a low-cost way for businesses to accept both cash and electronic payments through standalone kiosks or point-of-sale systems.
