This document discusses an Adapt-A-Door Project 2.0 which provided a choice and first meeting for a special project. It thanks Memphis Heritage, AIA Memphis, and TRO Jung|Brannen and directs people to a website to see all Adapt-A-Door Projects.
Part of a competition and fundraiser put together by AIA Memphis and Memphis Heritage called Adapt-A-Door, the TRO Jung|Brannen team built a lamp out of a recycled door.
Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) can generate power on-site, reduce energy costs for lighting and cooling, and increase real estate values of buildings by integrating solar panels into building materials like the roof, skylights, facades, and more. BIPV provides energy generation and savings while allowing natural light and reducing heat gain and costs, providing both energy and aesthetic benefits. As more buildings are constructed globally each year, BIPV is a solution to reduce energy consumption and costs while meeting sustainability and efficiency standards.
In our constantly shifting industry, how we tell our digital stories must evolve to outpace (not just keep up with) the rate of change. This webinar explores recklessly effective approaches to disrupt your entire creative process for the better and make “How we’ve always done it” a thing of the past.
Using just one secret ingredient (a small Bay Area nonprofit), three web teams will compete in the heat of battle, offering up exceptional tasting menus, each featuring a delicious new homepage design, a well-seasoned fundraising campaign and a perfectly balanced social networking plan. Only one team can prevail – who will it be? You be the judge, NTC! Come see how this unique project brought together a dozen web pros from competing firms, created amazing work for a very special organization, and taught us all the true power of our industry. We promise you won’t leave hungry.
This document summarizes a webinar discussing whether social good can become the next major trend in technology. The webinar explores whether companies' focus on social good is genuine or "conscience laundering" and questions if social good initiatives can be sustainable. It provides examples of LifeStraw water filters and Black Girls Code as positive uses of technology for social change. The webinar considers what challenges pursuing social good through technology may face and whether social good is a journey or destination. It encourages attendees to use technology to lead change.

Redesign, Refresh or Responsive Retrofit: Choose Your Own AdventureEve Simon
The document discusses common issues websites may face and provides advice on addressing them. It suggests that if a design looks dated, conversion goals are not being met, the site does not scale well or have a good mobile experience, analytics are problematic, or there are user complaints, it is time to take action. The first steps recommended are to do research, set goals, identify target audiences, define the scope of work, and select an appropriate solution. Potential solutions discussed are a retrofit with minor CSS changes, a full redesign, or varying levels of refinement work depending on the specific issues.
Is social good the next killer app? SXSW 2015.Eve Simon
Core conversation from SXSW 2015:
Something sexy happened at SXSW 2014 that didn’t involve Lady GaGa: an unprecedented number of do-gooding Geekerati showed up, wanting to change the world. Does this mean that social good has “made it”, or just become the latest trend to generate lots of hype but little impact? Shiny new platforms, brands and tools promise game-changing technologies & society-saving outcomes, but do they get us any closer to actually solving the world’s most challenging social problems?
It’s time we put the SXSW community to work doing what it does best - leading industry innovation. Come to this session ready to get your hands dirty exploring what authentic, lasting social change could really look like.

The document summarizes a team building exercise for 100 project managers at a Veolia forum. The exercise involved dividing participants into 9 teams and having each team construct a pipeline through their assigned territory to transport balls from point A to B. Teams had to work collaboratively with neighboring territories to ensure the pipeline was complete. Participants found it challenging but noted the importance of collaboration, defining roles, and coming to agreements, mirroring real work experiences. The activity helped demonstrate the need for organizations to provide seamless delivery through aligned teams.
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 and levels of neurotransmitters and endorphins which elevate and stabilize mood.
