The document discusses Sharon Kerr's experience comparing synchronous chat, asynchronous chat, and in-person interactions while solving physical problems. For the synchronous chat, Sharon interacted with two partners in real-time to build towers, with their conversation represented by the frequent switching between their initials. The asynchronous chat with another partner was slower paced due to the eight hour time difference, shown through their conversation flow. Sharon will continue comparing the interactions in a follow up document.
El documento habla sobre la visualización y el proceso cognitivo de generar imágenes mentales sin estímulos sensoriales. Explica que la visualización se basa en procesos mentales que permiten acceder a la memoria a largo plazo y crear representaciones mentales. También menciona que la visualización puede usarse como herramienta de aprendizaje.

This document provides an overview of antiderivatives and integrals. It discusses how when taking the derivative, any constants disappear, but when finding an antiderivative we include an unknown constant C. It also introduces the concept of an initial value problem, where an initial condition is given to determine the value of C. Finally, it distinguishes between definite integrals, where a specific value can be found, and indefinite integrals, where the constant C must be retained.
.NET is a software framework developed by Microsoft that includes a runtime environment, class libraries and tools to develop various types of applications. The .NET Framework provides a common language runtime (CLR) that compiles code into an intermediate language and provides services like memory management and security. It also includes a base class library for developing Windows forms, web forms, web services and more using languages like C# and Visual Basic. .NET aims to provide a unified platform for developing desktop, web and mobile applications using common languages and libraries.
This document discusses branding strategies for non-profit charities. It notes that non-profits have limited resources but committed employees and donors expect ethical fund management. It recommends that branding should align with the organization's mission and leadership should define goals for 1, 2, and 3 years. Suggested branding choices include corporate fundraisers, partner events, newsletters, PR if possible, government communication, employee events, innovative products, and scorecards linking branding to employee performance. Non-profits can also use free online toolkits and develop internal branding protocols.
This document discusses the use of Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) for business strategies and processes. It describes how RIA technologies like Adobe Flex and Flash can improve user engagement, productivity, and decision making. Examples are given of how RIAs are being used for e-commerce, social networks, business intelligence, and more. The role of Adobe technologies like Flex and LiveCycle in developing RIAs and integrating them into enterprise architectures is also outlined.
This document discusses normalizing a data model in SQL Server 2005 and 2008. It provides tools to identify the current state of data, set goals, and normalize or denormalize as needed. The document explains that normalization is an important aspect of database modeling and discusses determining whether to use normalization forms, which forms to use, and when to denormalize data. It also outlines commonly used normal forms without deeply examining each one.
The document provides an overview of global digital trends in 2020, including key statistics on internet, mobile, and social media usage worldwide. Some of the main points covered are:
- More than 4.5 billion people worldwide now use the internet, while over 3.8 billion are active social media users. Nearly 60% of the global population is online.
- Mobile devices will account for over half the time spent online in 2020. Apps now make up more than 90% of time spent on mobile.
- On average, internet users spend over 6 hours and 40 minutes online per day, with social media accounting for over a third of total internet time.
- Almost 300 million new people came online in

O evaluare și recomandare pentru bisericile evanghelice din RomâniaFlorin Stoica
The document outlines eight organizing principles for leading a local church according to the Bible alone: 1) Christ alone leads the church, 2) the Great Commission is the organizing principle, 3) actions must make disciples not maintain the church, 4) discipleship builds godly character, 5) leadership cares for and equips believers, 6) teaches truth with spiritual power, 7) equips believers to serve, 8) brings all believers to maturity to serve. It also lists six decisions the Romanian church must make to impact its culture, including renewing its mindset to Biblical thinking and entering culture rather than defending from it.
2. Un v î nt rece de martie aduse miros de moarte î n acea noapte î n Dallas, Texas, c î nd veni doctorul. Intr ă î n rezerva Dianei Blessing, care î nc ă se afla sub efectul anesteziei, dupa operatie. Sotul ei, David, î i lua m î na în asteptarea ultimelor vesti. In acea dupa-amiaza de 10 martie 1991, complicatiile au facut ca Diana sa se supuna unei operatii de cezariana la numai 24 de saptamini de sarcina, pentru a da nastere fiicei sale, Dana Lu Blessing.
3. Masurind doar 12 inch lungime si de-abia cintarind 714 grame, ei stiau ca era periculos de prematura.
4. Cuvintele medicului au cazut ca o bomba: "Nu cred ca va supravietui", rosti pe un ton blind. “ Sint doar 10% sanse sa reziste pina dimineata; si chiar daca traieste, viitorul sau ar putea fi crud.”
5. Paralizati de neincredere, David si Diana l-au ascultat pe doctor descriind problemele devastatoare pe care Dana va trebui sa le infrunte daca va supravietui.
6. Nu va putea merge, vorbi, probabil va fi oarba si cu siguranta ar putea avea alte complicatii, de la paralizie cerebrala la un complet retard mental etc.
8. Ea si David, impreuna cu fiul lor de 5 ani au visat intens la ziua cind vor avea o fetita cu care sa formeza o familie de patru persoane. Acum, in doar citeva ore, visul incepea sa se destrame.
9. Dupa citeva zile, o noua agonie pentru David si Diana. Intrucit sistemul nervos al Danei era “crud", cel mai suav sarut sau o mingiiere ii accentuau disconfortul, asa ca nici macar nu puteau sa o tina la piept pentru a-i oferi dragoste.
10. Tot ce puteau sa faca, in timp ce Dana lupta singura sub lumina ultravioleta, conectata la tuburi si cabluri, era sa se roage la Dumnezeu sa fie alaturi de iubita lor fiica. Dana nu a avut momente de crestere spectaculoasa.
12. Cind Dana a implinit doua luni, parintii ei au putut sa o imbratiseze pentru prima data. Si doua luni mai tirziu, desi doctorii au continuat sa avertizeze ca sansele de supravietuire, sau de a trai o viata normala erau aproape nule, Dana iesi din spital, asa cum mama ei prezise.
13. Cinci ani mai tirziu, Dana era o fetita micuta dar vesela, cu ochisori gri stralucitori si o incontestabila pofta de viata. Nu arata nici un simptom de vreun retard mental sau fizic. Era pur si simplu tot ce o fetita de virsta ei poate fi si poate mai mult de-atit. Dar acest final fericit nu este sfirsitul povestirii.
14. Intr-o dupa-amiaza de vara, in 1996, in vecinatatea casei din Irving, Texas, Dana statea in poala mamei sale, la marginea terenului unde fratele sau Dustin se antrena la baseball. Ca de obicei, Dana nu contenea sa vorbeasca cu mama sa, si cu citiva adulti asezati in apropiere, cind dintr-odata deveni tacuta. Isi incrucisa bratele la piept si intreba : ”Simti mirosul?” Adulmecind aerul si simtind apropierea unei furtuni, Diana raspunse: “Da, miroase a ploaie". Dana inchise ochii si intreba din nou: “Simti mirosul?” Mama sa ii raspunse: “Da, miroase a ploaie, cred ca o sa ne ude bine".
15. Dana dadu din cap, isi imbratisa umerii cu minutele ei mici si spuse cu hotarire: "Nu. Miroase a El"
16. “ Miroase a Dumnezeu cind iti pui capul pe pieptul Lui" Ochii Dianei se umplura de lacrimi in timp ce Dana se duse sa se joace cu ceilalti copii. Inainte ca ploaia sa inceapa, cuvintele fiicei sale confirmara ceea ce Diana si toti membrii familiei Blessing au stiut tot timpul...
17. ...In timpul acelor lungi zile si nopti din primele luni de viata, cind micuta era prea sensibila pentru a fi atinsa, Dumnezeu a tinut-o pe Dana la piept, si ceea ce ea isi aminteste atit de bine e mirosul dragostei lui.
18. Azi dimineata, cind Dumnezeu a deschis fereastra cerului, m-a vazut si m-a intrebat: “Fiule, care e dorinta ta cea mai mare astazi?" Eu i-am raspuns: Doamne, pazeste pe cel ce citeste acest mesaj, familia si prietenii lui. ------------------------------------------------- Iubirea lui Dumnezeu e ca un ocean, se poate vedea unde incepe dar nu si unde se sfirseste. ________________________ Ingerii exista, dar cum nu toti au aripi, uneori ii numim PRIETENI.
