This document discusses the evolution of DevOps practices and platforms. It describes how organizations like Amazon and Netflix built platforms to enable continuous delivery of software through automation. These platforms allowed for high velocity software development while keeping promises around availability, reliability and security. The document advocates that organizations adopt cloud native principles of using simple, automated patterns and tooling to build platforms that help teams keep promises around delivering features quickly at scale.
Tear gas and rubber bullets as families evictedCAFOD
On August 24th, 800 families were evicted from an encampment in Sao Paulo, Brazil by riot police using tear gas and rubber bullets. The evicted families refused temporary housing or bus fare offers from the local government. With support from aid organizations, the families will continue pushing for a permanent social housing solution given the hundreds of thousands of abandoned buildings in the city that could be used for housing as required by law.
The document discusses sexual harassment in education workplaces. It provides background on relevant legislation including Title VII, Title IX, and the 14th Amendment. It defines sexual harassment as unwelcome sexual conduct that creates a hostile environment. There are two types of harassment: quid pro quo, where favors are demanded in exchange for benefits, and hostile environment, involving severe or pervasive unwelcome conduct. The school district can be liable if it is deliberately indifferent to known harassment. Individual officials may also face liability for failing to address harassment brought to their attention. Employees and officials have a responsibility to protect students and staff from known harassment.
The document discusses the evolution of school facility use and litigation over use of school facilities. It describes how school facilities have changed from one-room schoolhouses to becoming community centers that provide access to health services, youth programs, and access for homeschooled students. Litigation often involves denying equal access to school facilities and two examples are described where a church group and a gay-straight alliance group were initially denied access but later allowed access through settlement or injunction.

Key social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube and tools like Facebook pages and ads are described. Basic rules outlined include the importance of consistent messaging, authenticity, transparency and treating social media as a conversation.
It is madness to judge all people or opportunities based on a single negative experience. One should not lose faith after a single unanswered prayer, failed effort, or betrayal, but instead remain persistent in seeking happiness each new day. Future success often comes after failure, so one should keep trying and not give up.

Herrington david_e._serendipitus herring and kritsonisWilliam Kritsonis
This document summarizes a case study of a failed school-university collaboration between professors at a rural university and teachers at a suburban high school. The collaboration aimed to mentor novice teachers but faced several challenges that prevented its continuation. These included the busy schedules of teachers and administrators, different class schedules between undergraduate and graduate programs, unexpected university meetings, long travel distances, and differing priorities between university professors and teachers. The authors conclude with recommendations for improving future school-university collaborations, such as examining university policies, better organizing departmental tasks, using technology to reduce travel, and selecting collaborators located closer to the university.

This document contains code that counts the number of Fridays that fall on the 13th day of each month between the current date and December 31st, 2013. The code initializes a Calendar object for the end date of December 31st, 2013. It then initializes a second Calendar for the current date and sets it to the 13th day of the month if needed. A while loop runs from the current date to the end date, adding any dates that fall on a Friday to a List, incrementing the month each iteration.
The document contains a series of dates from 2008-06-23 followed by code to run tests on a website. It includes opening the homepage, checking the title, and validating it matches the expected title of "Hello, World!".
