OER and Solving the Textbook Cost Crisis (#opened13 11.07.13 Park City, UT)Nicole Allen
The document summarizes Nicole Allen's presentation on using open educational resources (OER) to address the high cost of textbooks. It outlines the problem of rising textbook prices that impact students, presents OER as a solution by providing free and openly licensed textbooks, and calls for action including creating more OER, supporting adoption, raising awareness, developing supportive policies, and campus advocacy efforts.
The document discusses the current state of research on a cure for HIV/AIDS. It defines what is meant by a cure versus a functional cure. It describes HIV reservoirs in the body and challenges to measuring and targeting them. It outlines two main strategies to cure HIV - activating resting immune cells harboring HIV and repopulating the immune system with HIV-resistant cells. It discusses several therapies under investigation and obstacles to developing a cure, including lack of funding and collaboration. It advocates for more funding, removing roadblocks to research, and engaging those living with HIV in cure efforts.

Smartphones are mobile phones that offer additional computing capabilities beyond basic phones. They allow users to install apps and incorporate functions of cameras, PDAs, and more. The IBM Simon introduced touchscreen interaction in 1992. Smartphone sales grew rapidly in 2010, with Android surpassing Symbian as the leading operating system. While smartphones can be distracting or negatively impact social skills, they also enable convenient access to information and educational apps. Their pros and cons are debated.
1) The student created a magazine for their AS media coursework, first making a college magazine in Microsoft Publisher then improving their skills to create a music magazine in QuarkXpress and Photoshop.
2) Their music magazine, called "Raw Live," targets metal music fans with an informal tone and would be distributed in stores like HMV and Tesco.
3) Throughout the project, the student learned skills like using Photoshop and QuarkXpress as well as dealing with problems like losing their original work, but overcame challenges to complete the coursework.
This document provides perspective on appreciating what you have by considering those who have less. It suggests that while some things may seem unfair or lacking in one's own life, others have it much worse. It encourages enjoying life as it is and recognizing that there will always be those worse off. It closes by stating this email should circulate forever to spread its message.
Caring about care planning, Martin Power and Eric VanlenteSocial Care Ireland
This document discusses a study on assessment and care planning tools, processes, and perspectives for older people in long-term care settings in Ireland. The study found that while standardized tools were commonly used for some domains like dependency, other domains relied on clinical judgement. Assessment and planning were primarily done by medical and nursing staff with little input from others. Respondents saw benefits like continuity of care but also drawbacks like the time-consuming nature of care plans. Standardization could improve care quality but a lack of standardization can lead to issues like inadequate or inappropriate care.

Staff in residential care facilities are asked to provide children with a "holding environment" and act as a "good enough parent" by meeting children's emotional and physical needs. This involves tolerating children's distressing emotions, making sense of their experiences, and providing stability, trust and unconditional care. To support staff, management must create a supportive structure through encouragement, democratic leadership and shared responsibility to allow staff to take on this challenging role.

The document introduces the Controlled Power Company (CPC) Model ELC inverter. It is available in sizes from 600W to 2KW and uses a double conversion topology. It has a sinewave output and features like being HID/LED compatible, uninterrupted power, regulated and conditioned output. It has up to 12 output circuit breakers, an inverter bypass switch, and input/output configurability. The ELC also has communications capabilities, automatic battery testing, and field programmable off-bus control settings. It has a small footprint compared to competitors and provides backup power times of up to 4 hours depending on the size.
The document discusses the results of a study on the effects of a new drug on memory and cognitive function in older adults. The double-blind study involved 100 participants aged 65-80 who were given either the drug or a placebo daily for 6 months. Researchers found that those who received the drug performed significantly better on memory and problem-solving tests at the end of the study compared to those who received the placebo.

This document summarizes a newsletter from the PSPD program at Pratt Institute. It discusses several waterfront planning projects led by PSPD faculty and students that focused on creating inclusive, diverse public spaces:
1) A project in Honolulu aimed to create a community cultural gathering place on the waterfront that celebrates the diverse cultures of the local community.
2) A project in Cleveland developed a vision for the downtown lakefront with flexible public spaces where residents of the diverse neighborhoods could interact and different cultures could share their traditions.
3) A project in Yonkers used the "Power of Ten" approach of identifying 10 destinations along the waterfront tailored to serve the broadly diverse local population.
