This document provides an overview of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) including what CSS is, how it works, the different sources of styles, CSS selectors, properties, positioning, and inheritance. CSS allows separation of document content from page layout and styles, making web page design and maintenance easier. Styles defined in CSS rules cascade from broad to specific and can come from author styles, user stylesheets, or browser defaults.
Taxonomy of IT Enterprises in Kenya and their undeveloped growth intervention...John Kieti
Taxonomy of it enterprises in kenya and their undeveloped growth interventions - with a special focus on startups
This is a preliminary analysis by John Kieti - Outgoing Lead at m:lab East Africa. This version has improvements from initial version presented at the AITEC East Africa ICT Summit - 19th Feb 2014 based on some feedback I got.
In short, the presentation calls for players in the industry to identify the unique characteristics of value creation and delivery processes of IT enterprises hence different business models priorities. Its after acknowledging these unique characteristics that ecosystem enablers such as governments and development agencies can devise more effective intervention strategies.
The document discusses improving intercultural communication in business. It covers understanding culture, dimensions of cultural differences, achieving intercultural proficiency, adapting communication to different cultures, improving written messages for international audiences, and capitalizing on a diverse workforce. The key aspects are understanding how culture impacts communication styles, adapting messages and delivery to various cultural contexts, and seeking to understand differences rather than assume conformity.

Mining has played a major role in South Australia's economy and industrial development over the past century. Iron ore was first mined in the Middleback Ranges in the 1900s, fueling the growth of Whyalla's steel industry. Natural gas discoveries in the Cooper Basin in the 1960s supported South Australia's energy needs and export markets. However, some mining operations have caused environmental issues, such as oil spills from Port Bonython and unremediated uranium tailings sites. While mining continues to drive the state economy through projects like Olympic Dam, the industry now faces challenges around infrastructure, water access, and global economic conditions.
The document discusses the results of a study on the effects of a new drug on memory and cognitive function in older adults. The double-blind study involved giving either the new drug or a placebo to 100 volunteers aged 65-80 over a 6 month period. Testing showed those receiving the drug experienced statistically significant improvements in short-term memory retention and processing speed compared to the placebo group.
This document lists the 20 largest cities in the world by population, ranging from Beijing, China as the 20th largest with 12 million inhabitants to Tokyo, Japan as the largest city with over 34 million people. Several Asian cities ranked highly, including Delhi, Mumbai, and Dhaka in the top 20. Tokyo has over 34 million inhabitants, making it the most populous city globally.
PHP and MySQL are open-source languages that allow for the creation of dynamic web pages; PHP is a server-side scripting language that is often used with MySQL to access and manipulate databases. The document provides an overview of PHP and how it can be used to connect to MySQL databases, retrieve and display data, handle forms, and write scripts with variables, functions, and control structures.
In October of 2011, BHP Billiton's plan to construct a 280 megalitre per day desalination plant on the shore of Upper Spencer Gulf in South Australia was approved by Australian and South Australian governments. The plant is designed to supply water to the Olympic Dam uranium, copper and gold mine in South Australia's northern desert. The choice of location has been highly controversial, due to the close proximity of the Giant Australian Cuttlefish breeding grounds and numerous fish nurseries.
The document provides an introduction to PHP including what PHP is, the basic syntax, variable types, operators, control structures like if/else and loops, and functions. PHP is a server-side scripting language used for web development that is embedded into HTML. It requires a web server with PHP enabled and uses <?php ?> tags. The document outlines the basic building blocks of PHP like variables, data types, operators, and control flow structures.

This document discusses how to brand your name as a job seeker. It explains that a personal brand consists of your skills, experiences, personality, and goals, and highlights elements like Coca-Cola's brand. Readers are encouraged to make a list of their interests and strengths and develop a short phrase and logo that incorporates their career and qualities. Proper branding of one's name on resumes, business cards, social media, and in interviews can help employers learn more about the individual.
Business model refinement and introduction to external funding - for African ...John Kieti
This document discusses business model refinement and introducing external funding for startups. It defines key terms like business model and lean methodology. It explains the importance of getting customer feedback through problem and solution interviews and MVP testing. Various sources of external capital for startups are outlined, including prizes, grants, debt, equity, and investment from organizations, corporations, government, individuals, and foundations. It stresses that the best funding comes from customer revenue and advises getting investor support only when truly needed for rapid scaling.
The document discusses how advertisements have grown in India and affected Indian society. It notes that TV advertising grew 18% and print advertising grew 16% from 2010 to the first half of 2011. Advertisements reflect and can transfer cultural values between societies. They also affect people through the use of celebrities and targeting of youth. Advertisements represent changing social preferences over time, such as becoming more open about condoms and people investing more in child plans. Some advertisements are considered unethical if they provide false information or degrade competitors' products. Cultural impacts of advertising include exploitation of women and setting aside of moral standards.
Mathematical modeling and Experimental Determination of Grade intermixing tim...Ankit Karwa
The document summarizes a project presentation on mathematical modeling and experimental determination of grade intermixing time in a single strand slab casting tundish.
Key points:
- Experiments were conducted on a scaled-down physical model of an industrial tundish to measure grade intermixing time under different operating parameters.
- Over 150 experiments were performed under 50 different conditions by varying residual volume, inflow rate, and outflow rate.
- Results show grade intermixing time decreases with decreasing residual volume and increasing outflow rate. It depends least on inflow rate.
- Dimensional analysis and regression analysis are being used to develop a mathematical correlation between grade intermixing time and the operating parameters.
Dan Monceaux, director of the documentary film Cuttlefish Country offers a whirlwind appraisal of the SA mining boom, and some of its associates risks for the marine life of Spencer Gulf. You may be aware of the Kimberley Gas Hub and the Coal Port expansions of Queensland... South Australia has its own plans to join the ranks of mining titans regardless of the environmental cost.
There are several main types of volcanoes classified based on their shape, eruptive behavior, and composition. Composite volcanoes, also known as stratovolcanoes, are conical mountains built up by viscous lava flows and explosive eruptions, examples being Mount St. Helens and Mount Pinatubo. Shield volcanoes are larger and less steeply sloped, constructed by fluid basaltic lava flows like those of Hawaii. Small cinder cones form from explosive eruptions of pyroclastic material. Fissure eruptions produce fluid lava flows from cracks in the crust along zones of weakness.
