The respiratory system allows us to breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. Oxygen is used by cells to turn nutrients into energy and building materials through cellular respiration, while carbon dioxide is expelled as a waste product. The main organs involved are the lungs, which intake oxygen and release carbon dioxide, and the trachea, bronchi and bronchioles which make up the pathway for air to reach the alveoli in the lungs where gas exchange occurs.

A slightly tongue in cheek, but still accurate take on what GIS in the real world is like. Presented to UWA GIS students in their third year, aiming to give them some understanding of what they'll face when they graduate - and also includes some career advice from the previous talk.
For decades, GIS has been taught from a bottom-up perspective in which basic concepts, tools, and tasks are first introduced in great detail, then linked together to form higher level parts of the system. These are in turn linked, sometimes across many levels, until the complete top-level geographic information system is revealed. This approach often results in a view of GIS as muddle of tools, functions, properties, and subsystems, seemingly isolated, task-specific, and fragmented. LearnGIS replaces this piecewise approach with a top-down, integrated view of GIS as a platform, based on the science of geography, that provides open geospatial capabilities to any user and allows access by any application on any device.
In our top-down approach, we demonstrate through real-world examples how GIS solves geographic problems and builds geospatial knowledge. The examples, illustrating how GIS is used to conceptualize, organize, analyze, and visualize geographic information, introduce relevant GIS concepts, functions, and uses in yet greater detail. The exercises come to life when readers apply the methods in an interactive, engaging, and fun social learning environment. With the ArcGIS platform, all the maps, data, and tools are online, so anyone can learn by doing at anytime, anywhere, as long as they have Internet access. Through interactive story-telling and hands-on applications, we build a progressive understanding of the entire GIS platform, as a collection of its base elements (online maps, apps, tools, workflows, …), assembled in an integrated fashion, and used to find the solutions and information desired.

Presenting research and technical informationPatrick Gibbons
This document provides guidance on presenting research and technical information effectively. It emphasizes that a good presentation tells a story with a clear beginning, middle, and end, and is supported by facts and data. The presenter should plan their presentation considering the format, audience, and time allowed. They should organize their material into an easy to follow structure and use visuals that are simple, clear, and leave white space. Practicing helps improve delivery and handling questions. The goal is to have the audience understand the problem, approach, or findings and leave with a clear takeaway message.
SourceCon Atlanta 2013 Presentation: How to Hire and Build Your Own Sourcing ...Glen Cathey
This is my 2013 SourceCon Atlanta presentation on how to hire and grow your own sourcing team. It covers my hiring profile, a few Boolean search strings for finding people who fit my hiring profile, support for my theory that you can create super sourcers (and recruiters for that matter) by hiring people with no experience and training them properly, coming from the book "The Talent Code." It also explores the pros and cons of hiring experienced sourcers vs. hiring people with no experience and building sourcers from scratch.
Just Because You Can Doesn't Mean You ShouldOReillyWhere20
The misuse of technology is not a new topic (guns don't kill people, people with guns do) and I am certainly not the first person to consider this in the context of geospatial/GIS. With all the great conference sessions on geospatial technologies and how to exploit them, this "non-GIS" geo-community could stand to review what we are doing, not just how we are doing it.
One review from the recent SXSW (South by Southwest) conference described geo-fencing as the 'next generation of geolocation'; as if geo-fencing were some cutting-edge technique. In the days of old-school GIS, your friendly analyst and his arsenal of oh-so-very-special software was the gatekeeper to geospatial data analysis. Those shackles are now off. What might people produce without an understanding of GIS concepts such as analysis across geographic scales, choosing appropriate data classification methods or even the implications of (gasp!) geo-fencing?
The current job market demands geospatial software developers, yet university GIS programs are slow to produce them. Is the GIS Professional no longer needed or will they find a new place as geo-data scientists in the emerging field of Big Data Analysis?

This document summarizes 5 myths about open source software:
1) Open source software is unsupported and unreliable, but the document shows that open source software like PostgreSQL/PostGIS can perform faster than proprietary software like Oracle 11g in benchmarks. Open source software also tends to have fewer bugs per line of code than proprietary software.
2) Big companies don't use open source software, but many big companies do use open source software and contribute to open source projects.
3) Open source software is free, but there are costs associated with certifications, integration, training, support, and online services for open source software.
4) Open source is unsustainable, but open source business models can be sustainable through

Technology Trends and NRM - Tipping Point Conferencepiers_higgs
The document discusses technology trends and natural resource management. It covers topics such as social media, mobile technology, and online systems. For each topic, it discusses what the technology is, why it would be used in natural resource management, and considerations for using the technology. Mobile technology, for example, is discussed as being pervasive due to many phones sold and GPS capabilities. It can be used to collect data but engagement is key, not just the technology itself. Support and keeping up with operating systems are important considerations for mobile.
Gaia Resources is open for business providing services around open source, open data, and open standards. Open source allows companies to provide services around software rather than just licensing fees. Open data poses a threat to traditional data sales models but also enables new service opportunities. Gaia Resources has experience using, producing, and managing open source software and data, and utilizing open standards in their projects. They argue that being open can provide competitive advantages and make previously impossible projects and technologies viable.

5 key differences between Hard skill and Soft skillsRuchiRathor2

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐁𝐨𝐭𝐡 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐝 & 𝐒𝐨𝐟𝐭 𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞 💯
In today's dynamic and competitive market, a well-rounded skillset is no longer a luxury - it's a necessity.
While technical expertise (hard skills) is crucial for getting your foot in the door, it's the combination of hard and soft skills that propels you towards long-term success and career advancement. ✨
Think of it like this: Imagine a highly skilled carpenter with a masterful understanding of woodworking (hard skills). But if they struggle to communicate effectively with clients, collaborate with builders, or adapt to project changes (soft skills), their true potential remains untapped. 😐
The synergy between hard and soft skills is what creates true value in the workplace. Strong communication allows you to clearly articulate your technical expertise, while problem-solving skills help you navigate complex challenges alongside your team. 💫
By actively developing both sets of skills, you position yourself as a well-rounded professional who can not only perform tasks efficiently but also contribute meaningfully to a collaborative and dynamic work environment.
