Jeff Hammerbacher gave a talk on evolving global information platforms. He discussed Facebook's data infrastructure evolution from using MySQL to adding a Hadoop tier. He then talked about challenges of managing large data systems and how the cloud can help. However, clouds are not optimized for data-intensive workloads and have issues around pricing, security, and data transfers. Future evolutions may include tiered storage, streaming analytics, tighter integration between data collection and reporting, and accommodating more workload types.

The document provides a recipe for traditional Easter biscuits. It calls for butter, sugar, egg yolk, self-rising flour, currants, mixed peel, and milk or brandy to be creamed together and rolled into rounds before baking. The biscuits are brushed with egg white and sprinkled with sugar partway through baking for 20 minutes at a fairly hot oven temperature of 400°F.
This document discusses the differences between poor and rich countries. It argues that the age of a country, natural resources, and race are not determining factors. Rather, the key difference is the attitudes and principles followed by a country's people, such as ethics, integrity, responsibility, respect for laws, work ethic, savings, and punctuality. These principles become ingrained through a culture of education. If citizens in poor countries adopted these functional principles of rich societies and taught them to future generations, it could help lift their country out of poverty.
This report identifies 77 public Web 2.0 companies and provides an overview and analysis. The average market cap is over $300 million with average revenue over $100 million. The companies are profitable with an average EBITDA margin of 18.4%. Valuation metrics like average trailing revenue of 3.8x and EBITDA of 8.6x are provided. Recent financing activity, including 20 financings in January totaling $139.6 million, is also summarized.
This document discusses the four seasons - spring, summer, fall, and winter. It also mentions nature and how nature demonstrates God's love for humanity.

DÍA DE ANDALUCÍA por Jose Antonio Morales Velascoguadalinfosalar
El 28 de febrero se celebra el Día de Andalucía, que conmemora la fecha en la que en 1980 se aprobó el Estatuto de Autonomía de Andalucía. Este estatuto reconoció a Andalucía como nacionalidad histórica y estableció su autogobierno. El Día de Andalucía es una fiesta en la que se celebra la cultura andaluza y su identidad propia.
El documento describe un evento mágico en el que niños aspiran a convertirse en brujas y magos. Con la ayuda de la bruja Malandrina y otras criaturas mágicas como momias, tejedoras y vampiros, los niños superan pruebas para obtener objetos como varitas mágicas y escobas de vuelo y así lograr su meta de convertirse en magos y brujas.
Twitter raised $35 million in a new funding round, valuing the company at $230 million despite having no revenue. Twitter has experienced tremendous 800% growth in unique visitors over the past year. The document also provides an overview of 86 public web 2.0 companies, their market caps, revenues, EBITDA margins, and other financial details.
Multiscale Anomaly Detection and Image Registration Algorithms for Airborne L...Jeff Barnes
This document presents algorithms for multiscale anomaly detection and image registration for airborne landmine detection. A multiscale Reed-Xiaoli anomaly detection algorithm is developed that performs detection within the shift-invariant wavelet representation of an image. This is shown to better detect anomalies in correlated noise than single-band detection. A scale-space image registration algorithm uses the scale-invariant feature transform to match features between images for more accurate registration than correlation-based techniques. A neural network detection algorithm is also discussed that uses wavelet coefficients as inputs to classify pixels as mine or background.
ARPANET was the first operational packet switching network and predecessor to the modern internet, developed by the US Department of Defense during the Cold War. A hard bounce occurs when an email fails to deliver due to a permanent issue like an invalid address, while a soft bounce happens when the message reaches the recipient's server but bounces before delivery, possibly due to a full inbox. An intranet is a private network within an organization that uses firewalls for security, while the internet publicly connects computer networks globally.
Duke Energy Field Services reported its gas volume and margins by contract type for the first quarter of 2006 and the previous four quarters. The document shows that for the first quarter of 2006:
- Percentage of Proceeds (POP) contracts contributed $327 million in margin from 3.9 trillion British thermal units per day of gas volume.
- Keepwhole contracts contributed $29 million in margin from 1.4 trillion British thermal units per day of gas volume.
- Total margin for Duke Energy Field Services was $536 million.
This document introduces a new weekly publication from Research Capital called "The Web 2.0 Weekly". The report will highlight key events and news in the global Web 2.0 sector, including capital market activity, industry news, upcoming events, and valuation metrics for the 76 public Web 2.0 companies identified. It provides an overview of the diverse universe of Web 2.0 companies and technologies, from social networking to online gaming.
Este documento discute fechas clave en la vida de Jesús, incluyendo su bautismo en el año 27 d.C., su ministerio de 3 años y medio que terminó con su crucifixión en el año 31 d.C., y un período de 3 años y medio después de su muerte para que los judíos se arrepintieran antes de que dejaran de ser el pueblo elegido de Dios en el año 34 d.C. cuando Esteban fue apedreado.
El documento describe un estudio sobre el efecto flash-lag, donde un objeto en movimiento parece adelantado en relación a un destello. El estudio tuvo como objetivo apoyar la teoría de que el sistema nervioso central extrapola la posición futura de un objeto en movimiento. Los investigadores compararon las respuestas de 5 sujetos en una condición con un "priming" que potenciaba la posición futura, versus una condición sin priming. Los resultados mostraron que todos los sujetos tuvieron un punto de igualación subjetiva más alto, indicando un
El documento discute las perspectivas económicas, políticas y sociales bajo la presidencia de Barack Obama. Hace referencia a la experiencia de Obama como organizador comunitario y al uso de las redes sociales y el activismo de base durante su campaña presidencial. También analiza brevemente las posturas de Obama y sus oponentes sobre temas económicos y de política exterior.
