PDHPE (Personal Development, Health and Physical Education) is an important subject in primary schools for several reasons. It aims to teach students skills like problem solving, communicating, and decision making to increase their well-being and help them live a healthy and fulfilling life. PDHPE also focuses on social, physical, emotional, cognitive, and developmental growth. It promotes physical activity and teaches students to make educated decisions to act responsibly. The subject encourages the adoption of an active lifestyle and essential movement patterns.
The document discusses using Scalaz in a real-world Scala codebase at a company with less than 15 engineers. While some are skeptical of Scalaz due to its complexity, the company finds it useful for tasks like JSON mapping, state manipulation, and ensuring purity. They emphasize using Scalaz selectively and delineating pure and impure code to avoid issues. Overall, Scalaz helps make code more modular, testable, and easier to reason about, though tooling and documentation challenges remain.
Deloitte predicts that in 2011, more than half of all computing devices sold globally will not be traditional PCs. Sales of smartphones, tablets, and non-PC netbooks are expected to exceed 400 million units, surpassing the almost 400 million PC units expected to be sold. While PCs will remain important, 2011 may mark the tipping point to a more diverse computing environment with at least two different chip architectures and five operating systems each having over 5% market share, as smartphones and tablets grow to represent around 25% of all computing devices.
The document discusses Apache CouchDB usage at The Hut Group including querying review data from CouchDB databases and views, performing compaction and cleanup of CouchDB databases, backing up CouchDB data, configuring CouchDB logging, and monitoring database changes. It also briefly mentions concepts of NOSQL, simplicity in design, and CouchDB advantages like not requiring a database administrator.
The document discusses the state of the real-time web and summarizes that it is not fully realized yet. It covers various approaches to real-time applications including shared nothing architectures, message buses, Node.js with Socket.io, and Google App Engine. It also discusses commercial services like PubNub and Pusher and their limitations. The document advocates for a better approach that supports duplex communication, broadcasting, access rights, identity, presence, authorization, resource definitions, value updates, and webhooks. It suggests building such a service would require good documentation. Finally, it introduces SockJS as a way to abstract different real-time transport options and points to its GitHub page for more information.
CukeUp! 2012: Michael Nacos on Just enough infrastructure for product develop...Skills Matter Talks
Product development with cucumber focuses on using Cucumber for integration tests of a tech startup. Cucumber tests are stored in the source code along with code branches and are run daily. The talk outlines challenges of testing email functionality and proposes using a Ruby mailgem stub and RabbitMQ to simulate email delivery for tests without full infrastructure. Tips include using i18n to make tests less brittle and Capybara with Webkit to test JavaScript features.
SCALA DAYS 2012: Ben Parker on Interactivity - Anti-XML in AngerSkills Matter Talks
The document discusses Anti-Xml, a Scala library for working with XML that provides an intuitive object model, efficient modifications using a Zipper data structure, full support for attributes, and easy conversion from Scala's built-in XML support. It recommends Anti-Xml for matching and modifying XML elements and attributes, and provides further reading on working with Scala XML, Haskell Zippers, and the Anti-Xml documentation.

The document discusses using Scala and Spring Integration to implement Enterprise Integration Patterns. It provides an overview of messaging and integration concepts like pipes and filters, message channels, and message endpoints. It then explains how Spring Integration implements these patterns and supports configuration via XML or a Scala DSL. The Scala DSL offers benefits like compile-time validation and type safety compared to XML configuration.
English originated from Old English brought by Germanic settlers to Britain in the 5th century. It was influenced by Latin through the Christian church and by Old Norse through Viking invasions. The Norman conquest in the 11th century introduced French vocabulary and spelling conventions. The Great Vowel Shift marked the transition to Modern English from Middle English in the 15th century. English has since assimilated many words from other languages through British colonialism and American cultural influence, becoming a global lingua franca with a large vocabulary.
The document discusses a proposal for a new messaging protocol called SP as an alternative to TCP. SP would use a publish/subscribe model to address some of the challenges with TCP, such as scaling to many clients. An example shows how a stock quote client could subscribe to receive quotes for a particular stock. The proposal outlines a roadmap for further work on SP including its implementation in software like ØMQ and potentially in hardware, with the goal of developing it as an open standard messaging protocol.
The document outlines the key pre-audit activities for a business process audit, including establishing the purpose and scope, audit criteria, nominating an audit team, obtaining required information, establishing an audit trail and sample, developing an audit program, informing and confirming dates with the auditee, briefing the audit team, and preparing checklists. The goal of pre-audit activities is to properly plan and prepare for the on-site audit investigation phase.
This document summarizes a talk about using the Scalaz library in real-world Scala applications. It begins by acknowledging common criticisms of Scalaz as being too complex or not immediately useful. It then provides examples of how the speaker's company uses Scalaz for tasks like JSON mapping and handling state. The speaker advocates using Scalaz intentionally and delineating pure and impure code. They discuss strategies for learning Scalaz incrementally and as a team. The document argues that with pragmatic use, Scalaz can make code more modular, testable and help reason about concurrency without adding undue complexity.
