This document provides tips for selling Drupal services and consulting. It outlines four ground rules: 1) The true product is the business itself, 2) The customer's view is the only one that matters, 3) How you deliver is as important as what you deliver, 4) Consistent attention to detail sets you apart. It then discusses how to sell Drupal by focusing on its configurability and wide range of features to meet client needs. The document concludes with lessons learned around listening to clients, qualifying opportunities, and getting contracts signed.
The document summarizes the minutes from the November 20, 2008 meeting of the WCB Board. It discusses several items including land management plans in Tehama and Shasta Counties, expansions of ecological reserves and wildlife areas, habitat restoration projects, and a revised conservation easement monitoring policy which establishes requirements for grantees to monitor properties and report any violations.
Montage is a filmmaking technique that uses rapid editing, effects, and music to efficiently convey narrative information. It originated from the French word for "putting together" and can refer to collage techniques in photography, sound, and film where various elements are assembled into a new work. The document provides examples of influential photomontage artists from the late 19th century like Oscar Rejlander to punk artists like Winston Smith and the Sex Pistols in the late 20th century.
The document outlines the goals and activities of the COMENIUS 2010-2012 project. The project aims to improve communication skills, foster European cooperation, and help students become engaged European citizens. Students will work in teams to create and solve mysteries about their own and partner countries' cultures. They will use ICT tools to share information and learn about different technologies. The goal is to give students a desire to learn about other cultures and visit other countries. Topics will include schools, cities, history, traditions, food, and more. Success requires interesting mysteries, good communication, teamwork, motivated students and teachers, cooperation, and some English. Participants are already motivated and it has been a great experience despite the rain.

The document discusses the process used by Planet 9 Studios to create 3D models of ports and harbors for the US Navy. It involves collecting on-site photos and geospatial data, importing the data and terrain into Global Mapper, setting the projection, importing imagery, exporting to 3ds Max for texturing and modeling, then exporting to X3D format for use in simulations and training. The goal is to accurately represent facilities in a geo-registered 3D format.
This document outlines the course structure and content for an International Certificate in Education for Preschool Professionals. The certificate includes 5 core courses: 1) Principles and Practices in Preschool Education, 2) Child Development and Learning, 3) Curriculum Development and Pedagogy, 4) Personal Growth and Professional Development, and 5) Safety, Health and Nutrition. The document discusses using a collaborative learning model where learners create knowledge rather than just consuming content, and assessments focus on learning rather than just testing outcomes. Completing this certificate along with a Bachelor's degree in Early Years Education from a UK university would qualify someone as a preschool educator.

S(cool) Mystery was introduced in the 2010/2011 academic year for students in grades 6-9 (ages 11-15) at the school. It is an electronic student book that allows for communication between parents and teachers, such as parents writing apology letters, and provides students with marks and notes from teachers on a scale of 1 to 5. While it offers improvements over paper student books like saving trees, there are also potential complications from issues like poor networks or broken computers.

The Digitally Connected Worker: Developing and Supporting Social Learning in...Jeremy Williams
The document discusses developing social learning in the workplace. It argues that integrating professional and personal learning networks can support workers' digital connectivity. Segregating these networks may be a personal choice, while integrating them allows for crowdsourcing knowledge and collaboration to address challenges like job losses. The author is Professor Jeremy B Williams from Griffith Business School who studies digitally connected workers and social learning.
How Social Media took on Big Meat and changed the Meat system forever.
I recently was asked to head a panel discussion for the Good Festival in March. The panel was suppose to be titled "Sustainable Meat" I am big believer in sustainability and its fundamental definition of a system that “meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." However, Local meat has taken a much more aggressive posture in the last 5 years and evolved well beyond the simple title of sustainable meat. simply put, I believe the local meat system has tipped and gone mainstream. What once was called Sustainable local meat, I now call Meat 2.0. Therefore, I called the panel Local Meat 2.0. To understand 2.0 lets take a look at 1.0.
Meat 1.0 started roughly in 1993 when certain farmers and localvore leaders at the time (although they didn't know it) felt that "Good Meat" was raised primarily on grass and solely on grass in lush green pastures under blue skies. Unlike "Feedlot Cattle" they were not fed grain or antibiotics or hormones or steroids to accelerate their growth but to just feed the animals what they are suppose to eat all their lives - Grass! Turned out the meat actually tastes better, its more healthy, its more humane to the animals and supports a sustainable environment. An industry was born.
From 1993 to roughly 2006, this notion of Grass-Fed meats grew rapidly within the bohemian and localvore communities. The American Grass-fed Association was started by Dr Patty Whisnant who later grew her Rain Crow ranch Grass-Fed Beef business to a multi-million dollar powerhouse in the midwest. In Local Meat 1.0 buying decision were simple and composed of local meat lovers whose buying decisions were based on several simple factors:
"Meet the Farmer "
1.Buy direct From Farm by going to the Farm
2.Sustainability
3.Goodness - Tastes Great!
4.Humane Treatment of the animals
5.Trust the Farmer
6.You get to pet a pony
In 2006 two things happened: Michael Pollens book, the Ominores delima became a best seller, changing the intellectuals in the countries notion of just what kind of meat we might be eating and what it is doing to the environment. This spurred the USDA to recognize local sustainable meat, specifically Grass-Fed as a bonifide product and thus labeled it such.
March 8th, 2008 was the year I feel, Local Meat Tipped! You will see by the slide presentation the factors that led up to this Big Meat disrupting tipping point moment. The final deadly blow, that shock the nation, was Diane Sawyers ABC expose on the now famous "Pink Slime" The headlines that appeared in the media was, I believe" Pink Slime Found In 70% Of Supermarket Ground Beef In ABC Investigation." Ouch.

1) Students in the 7th grade planted different seeds in pots and put them on a windowsill to get light and watered them regularly.
2) The plants grew slowly at first as the students waited patiently. They observed different characteristics of the plants from Spain, France, Italy, and the Czech Republic.
3) After the first round of planting did not work out, they replanted and labeled the surviving plants, including a "Spanish plant nr. 0.5". The French and Czech plants were growing well.
This document discusses a group called IMT Dubai, Batch 2010 that is working to redefine glory in an enormous, extensive, and exclusive way through emerging and effective methods.
How would we recognise a truly sustainable enterprise if we saw one?Jeremy Williams
Seminar presentation to staff and students at Griffith University in Brisbane during Sustainability Week, 7-11 April, 2014. Repeated at the Institute for Rural Futures, University of New England, Armidale, 15 April, 2014.
The document discusses sustainable development and the market. It outlines how sustainable development is largely incompatible with neoclassical economics but not incompatible with capitalism. It argues that harnessing the power of the market can catalyze change by incentivizing economic agents to operate along ecologically sustainable lines. The document also discusses how companies' environmental performance has evolved from regulatory compliance to risk management to a focus on long-term sustainable development strategies. Finally, it notes how corporate accountability now extends beyond shareholder profit maximization to consider stakeholders and a triple bottom line of people, planet and profit.
The document discusses the term "positronic" which was coined by Isaac Asimov and used in his works and other science fiction to refer to the type of brain possessed by androids. It provides examples of positronic brains being featured in Star Trek characters like Lieutenant Commander Data and in the science fiction film Barbarella. The document also discusses Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics which established a framework for how robots and artificial intelligence should behave and not harm humans.
