This document discusses several major events from 2001-2005 including:
1) No Child Left Behind which changed how schools are evaluated and how teachers teach, with critics and supporters debating its impact.
2) The rise of the iPod which became ubiquitous in American culture and led to MP3 players being commonly called "iPods".
3) The popularity of Myspace which was the leading social network until Facebook surpassed it, remaining one of the most visited sites.
4) The 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, which deeply impacted the country and led to unity, if only temporarily.
5) The war in Afghanistan which had some justification but failed

The document summarizes an agile project to extend an open source software platform for a client. Key challenges included establishing collaboration between different teams, estimating iteration costs for exploration and prototyping activities, and determining the appropriate testing approach given the need to balance exploring new features with ensuring existing functionality and requirements were still met. Overall the project converged as expected around the fourth sprint and the client was satisfied with balancing costs, effort, and delivered functionality through an iterative approach, even though complexity remained unknown.
The document discusses the rise of online communities and how companies can leverage them. It notes that more than 60% of Fortune 1000 companies will connect to or host online communities by 2010. It then provides the AOF method for analyzing activities, objects, and features/tasks to identify the core elements of a community. Examples are given for communities around entertainment, shopping, and sharing photos. The document also discusses how online communities can generate revenue through traditional advertising as well as new sources like pay-to-post, pay-to-interact, offline/online events, pay-to-learn, and pay-to-bring-together models. It argues that communities allow companies to connect directly with consumers rather than just keeping media companies
Choosing and Evaluating Collection AgenciesBillLovitt
This document provides guidance on choosing and evaluating collection agencies. It recommends determining your needs, checking an agency's reputation and credentials, and ensuring they can provide the necessary services. When evaluating performance, it advises setting realistic expectations and comparing agencies using the same metrics. It also stresses managing risks by ensuring the agency is properly licensed and follows all applicable laws regarding debtor treatment, cash handling, and compliance.
The document discusses big data visualization and visual analysis, focusing on the challenges and opportunities. It begins with an overview of visualization and then discusses several challenges in big data visualization, including integrating heterogeneous data from different sources and scales, dealing with data and task complexity, limited interaction capabilities for large data, scalability for both data and users, and the need for domain and development libraries/tools. It then provides examples of visualizing taxi GPS data and traffic patterns in Beijing to identify traffic jams.
Este documento presenta una serie de ideas y conceptos relacionados con el desarrollo ágil de software, incluyendo el Manifiesto Ágil, Lean Startup, Continuous Delivery, Tribal Leadership, Cynefin, calidad técnica y mejora continua. También proporciona varias referencias sobre estos temas.

This document discusses BigDataBench, an open source project for big data benchmarking. BigDataBench includes six real-world data sets and 19 workloads that cover common big data applications and preserve the four V's of big data. The workloads were chosen to represent typical application domains like search engines, social networks, and e-commerce. BigDataBench aims to provide a standardized benchmark for evaluating big data systems, architectures, and software stacks. It has been used in several case studies for workload characterization and performance evaluation of different hardware platforms for big data workloads.
Sybase RAP and CEP address challenges in the financial services industry from increasing data volumes and velocity. Technologies like RAP and CEP provide real-time analytics and complex event processing to help meet regulatory requirements and enable new trading strategies with low latency. These solutions are also applicable outside of financial services in industries like telecom, government, supply chain, and healthcare to extract insights from streaming data.
