Twitter is a social media platform that allows users to share short messages called tweets. To set up an account, a user enters their name, username, password and email. Account settings allow users to customize their profile, privacy settings, notifications and design preferences. Users can follow other accounts and see their tweets, and can also retweet tweets from accounts they follow to share with their own followers.

The document discusses Ruby virtual machines and optimizations. It covers topics like Ruby VM internals, system resources, Ruby optimizations like constant folding and inlining, object structures, classes and modules, method dispatch, garbage collection. The goal is to understand tools and techniques for building high performance Ruby applications.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise boosts blood flow, releases endorphins, and promotes changes in the brain which help enhance one's emotional well-being and mental clarity.
The document discusses domain-driven design and moving away from monolithic applications. It recommends modeling the domain first before coding, focusing on behaviors and responsibilities over data. Events and commands should be used to drive changes rather than CRUD operations. An event-driven and message-based architecture is advocated to improve performance, testing and relaxed consistency. Domain events should be used instead of directly saving to the database.

Second Life is a virtual world where users create avatars to represent themselves. Nonprofits have created virtual presences in Second Life to raise awareness of their causes and solicit donations. The MacArthur Foundation has provided funding for organizations to host virtual events in Second Life to bring people together cost-effectively and discuss issues like migration and education. While Second Life provides a creative space for global interaction, it also has technology requirements and a learning curve that can make participation challenging.
A practical guide to a user-focused digital librarySophia Guevara
The document provides a practical guide to creating a user-focused digital library. It discusses understanding user needs and preferences, digital content management including discovery, selection, acquisition and access, promoting content usage, and reviewing usage data to determine if content should be renewed. The goal is to align the digital library with user needs and make content easily discoverable and accessible.
Social Network Analysis and Partnerships SNA presentation Guevara 2015Sophia Guevara
Social network analysis (SNA) is a methodology for studying relationships and how individuals fit within networks. SNA can help funders achieve better impact through relationships by identifying opportunities, potential obstacles, and influential individuals. Examples show how foundations have used SNA to scale impact, understand grant outcomes, and inform future funding. SNA software like NodeXL and Gephi allow users to analyze and visualize their networks from professional sites like LinkedIn to understand network density, hierarchy, and connections. Resources are provided for continuing SNA learning.
El documento resume la evolución de la tecnología educativa como herramienta pedagógica. Se originó en la formación militar durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial en Estados Unidos. En las décadas de 1950 y 1960 se enfocó en introducir materiales y recursos de comunicación para mejorar la enseñanza. En los 1970 alcanzó su máximo auge con asociaciones profesionales. En los 1980 surgió la crítica a su enfoque técnico y falta de fundamentación teórica. Actualmente se reformula considerando los nuevos paradigmas
El documento describe el enfoque territorial de LEADER, que considera al territorio como un conjunto socioeconómico integrado. Se debe definir el perfil del territorio mediante la evaluación de su capital y un diagnóstico inicial, para luego determinar una estrategia de desarrollo adaptada. También explica los criterios para definir el territorio LEADER, como su dimensión reducida, carácter rural y baja densidad de población entre 10.000 y 100.000 habitantes.
El documento describe los diferentes tipos de climas de la Tierra, incluyendo climas cálidos ecuatoriales y tropicales, climas fríos polares, y climas templados como el mediterráneo, oceánico y continental. También presenta baremos para clasificar las temperaturas y precipitaciones, y explica cómo analizar e interpretar un climagrama.
El documento resume la constitución formal del Grupo de Acción Local (GAL) Valletenzano y su agencia de desarrollo económico local en Boyacá, Colombia.
