This humorous passage describes how God created healthy foods like vegetables, olive oil, and angel food cake for people to live long lives, but Satan countered by introducing unhealthy temptations like ice cream, donuts, fried foods, and cable television that caused people to gain weight. As people continued to choose Satan's unhealthy options over God's, they struggled with issues like weight gain, high cholesterol, and cardiac arrest. In the end, God created bypass surgery to address the health problems that resulted from Satan's deceptive offerings.

Sioux Hot-or-Not: Domain Driven Design (Edwin Van Dillen)siouxhotornot
1) The document discusses domain driven design and introduces domain modeling using a Lego Mindstorms robot as an example.
2) Domain modeling creates a common language to represent the conceptual classes of a problem domain, focusing on the essence rather than realistic details.
3) The domain of the sample robot is explored, identifying its key components like sensors, motors, and CPU that could be represented as classes in a domain model.
A blog is a personal online space where one can share their voice and ideas with the world. An effective blog has a central focus, allows subscriptions and comments from readers, is connected to other blogs, is regularly updated, and has a unique personality. Blogging allows one to make their thinking public, develop their voice, and potentially create a global online community. Effective blog posts cover a wide range of topics and types, including instructional, informational, reviews, interviews, case studies, profiles, problem solving, projects, opinions, research, predictions, critiques, debates, hypotheticals, and satire. To start an effective blog, one should read critically, think about what they've read, brainstorm ideas, and
This document discusses a study that compared the effectiveness of different modes of mobile interaction for learning English vocabulary among Japanese high school students. The study found no significant differences in learning outcomes between using an adaptive e-book app, a regular e-book reader, or a paper book. Challenges included the books being too difficult, lack of student motivation or free time, and technology that was not engaging. However, international collaboration on mobile learning continues with the goal of designing more effective adaptive learning technologies to bridge cultural and educational divides globally.
A distant planet has 3 times the gravitational force of Earth, so a 100g object would have a mass of 300g there. A boat is propelled forward by a sail exerting 5N of force and an engine exerting 20N of force, so the net forward force on the boat is 25N. A waiter adds water to a glass before performing a trick of pulling a tablecloth out from under objects to prevent the glass from breaking when it would have no liquid in it.
This document appears to be a collection of Spanish idioms and expressions translated literally into English. There are over 20 short phrases with unfamiliar or nonsensical English translations that would not make sense to a native English speaker. The idioms cover a variety of topics from animals and food to locations and insults.
AHS received 249 new computers and 33 new LCD projectors in the fall, with most being obtained through grants. It also has a wireless network accessible by both district devices and any device with 802.11 capabilities. The document discusses trends in populations and economies in countries like China and India, how jobs and skills are changing rapidly, and makes various predictions about technological advancements and their effects on information availability, computing power, and society. It emphasizes that the rate of change is exponential and that we must prepare students accordingly.
This document discusses re-inventing tourism through pervasive and mobile technologies. It suggests new forms of tourism that combine public, family, personal, social and virtual visiting experiences. Some examples mentioned include exploring tourist sites virtually before visiting, joining live guided tours from home, using augmented reality guides at locations, and engaging with places through location-based games, media and activities. The document raises questions about how to fully design cities for digitally enhanced visiting while considering issues of privacy, safety and digital rights. It discusses the Horizon Creative Visiting theme which aims to explore how to connect real and virtual visitors and re-invent culture, tourism and guiding for diverse groups through innovative uses of technology.
What Is The Difference Between A Vector Basedguest396fd5
Vector graphics are composed of points, lines and curves that can form complex objects and be filled with colors or patterns, whereas bitmap images are composed of pixels in a literal representation. GIF images can contain up to 256 colors and are used for drawings and animations, while JPEG is used for realistic photos due to supporting more colors but using lossy compression. Linked graphics are updated if the source file changes, while embedded graphics do not change if the source file is altered.
This document warns about the dangers of smoking through three main categories: physical effects, mental/emotional effects, and social effects. Physically, smoking can lead to emphysema, lung cancer, heart attacks, and yellow teeth/fingers. Mentally and emotionally, smoking causes addiction and feelings of weakness. Socially, smokers may find it difficult to make friends and could be a bad influence on others. The document emphasizes that smoking is highly addictive and can seriously harm a person's health, mental state, and social relationships.
The document discusses findings from research on the effectiveness of educational software and technology in improving student performance and learning outcomes. Several studies found no significant impact of software on reading or math test scores. Effective learning is seen to involve construction of knowledge through problem-solving, conversation, and learner control. Future directions of learning technology include utilizing mobile devices and location-aware apps to support contextualized, collaborative, and lifelong learning.
Progress Rollbase: Building Powerful Applications One Block at a TimeProgress
Model-driven development allows users to build apps through a drag-and-drop interface of pre-built components, reducing coding by up to 80%. This approach makes app creation accessible even to non-developers by optimizing for mobile deployment and offering apps on the cloud, on-premise, or in a hybrid environment through a four-step process of naming the app, creating objects, customizing interfaces, and defining relationships between objects. A two-minute video tour demonstrates how to use Progress Rollbase to immediately start developing powerful enterprise applications.
Chemical bonds form between atoms in order to fill their outer electron shells. Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred between metals and nonmetals, creating positively and negatively charged ions. Covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between nonmetals. Metallic bonds form between metal atoms through a "sea of electrons".
Malaysia aims to become an international center of higher education excellence by 2020. To achieve this, Malaysia is undertaking several initiatives including the National Higher Education Strategic Plan 2020, encouraging growth in both public and private universities, and promoting transnational education by importing curriculums from countries like Australia and the UK. However, Malaysia still faces challenges like ethnic segregation across public and private institutions and issues around the languages of instruction.
PATTY: A Taxonomy of Relational Patterns with Semantic TypesAkihiro Kameda
This document describes a study that mines relational patterns with semantic types from text corpora and constructs a taxonomy of these patterns. The study extracts syntactic, ontological, and lexical patterns between entities, generalizes the patterns, and identifies subsumption relationships to build a directed acyclic graph taxonomy. Experiments applying this method to the New York Times archive and Wikipedia found over 350,000 synsets with 84.7% precision and over 8,000 subsumption relations with 75% precision. The resulting taxonomy is available online.
