Pragmatics is the study of how language is used in communication and how context affects meaning. It examines the relationship between linguistic forms, the people using language, and the effects of context. Pragmatics helps explain how listeners understand a speaker's intended meaning through inferences based on context rather than just the literal meaning of the words. It also looks at how implied or implicated meanings are understood beyond what is directly expressed by an utterance.

This document provides an analysis of methods for valuing non-traditional media like signage for the Colorado Springs Sky Sox baseball team. The analysis includes:
1) A comparative study of signage costs for 4 minor league baseball teams to establish benchmarks and estimate the value of signs based on factors like size, location, and impressions.
2) An examination of the Sky Sox's local competitors like the Air Force Academy and Cheyenne Mountain Zoo to understand their approaches to signage.
3) Suggestions for the Sky Sox to better quantify returns for sponsors by tracking metrics like detections and engagements using new technologies, and justifying higher prices through community involvement.

This document discusses computer input and output devices and important central processing unit items. It describes common input devices like keyboards, mice, scanners, and speech recognition. Output devices mentioned include monitors, printers, plotters, and projectors. The central processing unit's arithmetic logic unit performs arithmetic and logical operations, while the control unit extracts instructions from memory, decodes and executes them, calling on the ALU when needed.
This document summarizes Serina Ahlgren's doctoral thesis on crop production without fossil fuels. The thesis evaluates systems for producing tractor fuel and mineral nitrogen fertilizers from biomass as alternatives to fossil fuel-based production. It uses life cycle assessment methodology to analyze the land use, energy inputs, and environmental impacts of different biomass-based systems for producing tractor fuel, such as ethanol and biodiesel, and mineral nitrogen fertilizer. The thesis finds that biomass-based systems can significantly reduce the use of fossil fuels in agriculture and the associated greenhouse gas emissions, though they may increase other environmental impacts like eutrophication.

The document discusses SMBTweet, a tool that helps businesses build audiences on Twitter by discovering relevant profiles to follow. It does this through algorithms that identify potential followers based on location, keywords, who influencers follow, and other criteria. SMBTweet's tools automate the discovery process but require manual approval before following accounts to avoid spammy behaviors. The summary highlights that SMBTweet streamlines audience building by handling the discovery process so marketers can focus on approving and engaging with new followers.

This document provides a summary of current financial buzzwords, trends, and unintended consequences. It discusses phased retirement as more workers extend their careers due to economic struggles. It also covers the trend of strategic mortgage defaults for homeowners who owe more than their homes are worth. Additionally, it notes the unintended consequence that many people are converting traditional IRAs to Roth IRAs in 2010 to avoid potential future tax increases, generating billions in unexpected tax revenue for the government.
This document provides an overview of ethical hacking. It defines ethical hacking as hacking with permission to identify vulnerabilities, similar to "white-hat" hackers. The document outlines the process of ethical hacking, including preparation, footprinting, enumeration/fingerprinting, vulnerability identification, and controlled attacks. It describes various techniques used at each stage, such as port scanning, banner grabbing, password cracking. The goal is to find vulnerabilities before criminals can exploit them, in order to strengthen security. Reporting involves documenting the methodology, vulnerabilities found, and recommendations to address issues. Ethical hacking helps organizations protect themselves from external threats.

The event concluded with a FOSS quiz and prizes.
This document discusses the many ways that people can differ from one another, including how they speak, dress, eat, view personal space, practice religion, see themselves, and were raised. It notes that factors like background, environment grown up in, accent, language, opinion, talents, sexual orientation, age, skin color, and more can vary between individuals or groups. Underlying cultural aspects shape behaviors and diversity exists on a spectrum from minor to major differences.
