Empowering Real Time Patient Care Through Spark Streaming
Takeda’s Plasma Derived Therapies (PDT) business unit has recently embarked on a project to use Spark Streaming on Databricks to empower how they deliver value to their Plasma Donation centers. As patients come in and interface without clinics, we store and track all of the patient interactions in real time and deliver outputs and results based on said interactions. The current problem with our existing architecture is that it is very expensive to maintain and has an unsustainable number of failure points. Spark Streaming is essential for allowing this use case because it allows for a more robust ETL pipeline. With Spark Streaming, we are able to replace our existing ETL processes (that are based on Lamdbas, step functions, triggered jobs, etc) into a purely stream driven architecture.
Data is brought into our s3 raw layer as a large set of CSV files through AWS DMS and Informatica IICS as these services bring data from on-prem systems into our cloud layer. We have a stream currently running which takes these raw files up and merges them into Delta tables established in the bronze/stage layer. We are using AWS Glue as the metadata provider for all of these operations. From the stage layer, we have another set of streams using the stage Delta tables as their source, which transform and conduct stream to stream lookups before writing the enriched records into RDS (silver/prod layer). Once the data has been merged into RDS we have a DMS task which lifts the data back into S3 as CSV files. We have a small intermediary stream which merge these CSV files into corresponding delta tables, from which we have our gold/analytic streams. The on-prem systems are able to speak to the silver layer and allow for the near real-time latency that our patient care centers require.

Making the most out of your internet search
Making the most out of your Internet research involves using search engines effectively and evaluating the reliability of sources. Some key tips for effective searching include keeping searches simple, using descriptive keywords, and using quotation marks, minus signs, and Boolean operators to refine results. Most search engines have advanced search functions to help narrow searches. It's also important to evaluate sources for reliability by considering factors like who publishes the site, whether there are dead links or errors, and whether the information is corroborated elsewhere. The domain extension (.com, .edu, etc.) can provide clues about a site's credibility.

The reviewer gave the site an initial impression score of 4 out of 5, finding it simple but attractive with minimal images. The site purpose is to provide information about P&G, their products, and news. The intended audience is anyone interested in learning about their name brand products. Navigation was clear and easy to use across different browsers and screen sizes. Content appeared accurate and the tone was business-like but not overly serious.

Lesson: Parts of an Information Book
This document provides details of a lesson plan for a 4th grade class on research skills. The purpose is to review key parts of information books like the table of contents, index, glossary, and taking notes using a graphic organizer. During the 30 minute lesson, students will use books about planets to identify these parts and their functions. The teacher will guide a discussion reviewing each part and have students locate examples. By the end, students should recall how to use various parts of books to find information on topics.
Thematic Lesson: The Sun
This lesson plan summarizes a 30-minute library lesson for kindergarten and cross-grade 1st/2nd and 3rd grade classes about the theme of the sun. The purpose is to provide an enjoyable read aloud while teaching basic information and concepts about the sun. Students will gain an understanding of what the sun is and why it is important through reading fiction and nonfiction books, singing songs, and a sun-themed craft. The librarian will check for comprehension through questions during and after the read aloud and activities.
Curriculum Integration in Middle School
The document discusses curriculum integration (CI) in middle school education.

Materials must be aligned with educational objectives, age-appropriate, and meet standards of quality. The collection includes print, digital, and audiovisual resources. Community input and review tools are used in selection. Donations are accepted but not automatically added. The policy also addresses weeding outdated materials and responding to reconsideration requests.
Review of Geography Series
1) The America the Beautiful (ATB) series seemed to be the best option of the three geography series reviewed for a public library to purchase, due to its more recent publication date, higher quality writing and more in-depth information.
2) However, the selector noted the ATB series has a higher reading level, so it may not be suitable for all 4th grade students depending on their abilities.
3) To ensure all students could access the materials, the selector proposed putting volumes from the series purchased and the library's existing series on reserve for in-library use only during the period when students would be researching their reports.
Effects of Technology on Young Adults
This document summarizes several studies on teenagers' use of the internet and social media. It finds that while online risks exist, internet and social media use can also provide developmental benefits to teens such as facilitating friendships and interests. The document advocates for parents and educators to take a balanced approach by having open discussions with teens and guiding their safe and productive online activities rather than restricting access. It also discusses research showing that while video games are often blamed for negative effects, characteristics of game play can relate to improved mood, attention, and civic engagement for teens when played in moderation.
Notes for Technology/Young Adults Presentation
This document discusses two main topics: 1) Adolescents' use of social networking sites and 2) Teens' use of video games.
For social networking, research found that while "horror stories" exist, most teen online activity aids development. Studies show teens restrict photos and communicate offline more. Time online benefits development by extending friendships and interests.
For video games, most teens play but genres vary widely. Games are often social and half of online gamers play with real-life friends. Certain game qualities relate to increased civic engagement. Contrary to stereotypes, gaming does not withdraw teens but can engage them in society and teach moral decision making.
ICDL Lesson Plan
The lesson plan introduces students to the International Children's Digital Library (ICDL) to select a children's book that represents their selected immigrant population for a portfolio project. Students will learn how to navigate the ICDL interface and search for books, either through simple searches or more advanced searches. They will read and select a book to include in their immigration portfolio. The teacher and librarian will provide guidance on using the ICDL and help students complete their searches.
Storytelling Future File
This folktale from Sweden tells the story of a woodcutter who is granted three wishes by a tree spirit. The woodcutter and his wife argue about what to wish for, wasting their first two wishes on a sausage that appears and then attaching the sausage to the man's nose when the wife wishes for it. They use their final wish to remove the sausage from his nose, having missed an opportunity to wish for something more valuable like a large house or riches. The moral of the story is the importance of thinking carefully about wishes.
Easybib Lesson Plan
The document summarizes a 20-minute lesson plan for 7th grade social studies students on using the citation generator EasyBib to create a works cited page. The lesson will have students identify source information for a book and website, use EasyBib to generate citations, review the citations for accuracy, and export citations into a Word document. The teacher will demonstrate the process using examples and guide student practice in evaluating websites for a future research assignment on world leaders. Student learning will be evaluated through discussion, reviewing their website evaluations, and listing important criteria for evaluating sources.

Listserv Monitoring Report
The document summarizes the author's monitoring and evaluation of the ISLMANET-L electronic discussion list over three weeks in September and October 2009. Some key findings include:
1) The listserv is open to anyone interested in school libraries and allows subscribers to easily post, view archives, and manage subscriptions.
2) During the monitoring period, the list averaged 4-6 discussion threads per day on topics like announcements, job postings, and requests for advice.
3) Two popular threads involved sharing activities for teaching the Dewey Decimal System and expressing outrage over cuts to an Illinois public library.
4) The author believes the listserv is a valuable local resource for Illinois school libr
Figurative Language: Onomatopoeia Lesson
This lesson plan introduces 4th grade students to author Jim Aylesworth and his book Country Crossing. The students will listen to an audio recording of the book while following along with slides. They will then discuss the use of onomatopoeia, or words that imitate sounds, in the story. Each student will then create their own onomatopoeic word and illustration to display for Aylesworth's upcoming visit. In subsequent lessons, the class will further explore figurative language devices like simile and metaphor.
Mobile Computer Lab Narrative
This document provides background on Fiona Griswold's proposal to create a mobile computer lab for DH Elementary School. The school currently lacks a dedicated computer lab, which would benefit students and teachers. Griswold outlines a plan with four stages: research, formal planning, implementation, and follow-up/evaluation. The goals are to obtain funding, equip the lab, train staff/students, and increase technology integration and student achievement over time. Potential support and obstacles are also discussed.
Mobile Computer Lab - Board Document
The document proposes creating a mobile computer lab at DH Elementary School to help improve test scores of disadvantaged students and allow teachers to incorporate technology into lessons. It would include 25 laptops, a cart, and training led by the Library Media Specialist. Research shows technology can boost achievement, but DH currently lacks sufficient computer access. The $22,000-28,000 proposal outlines purchasing needs, staff responsibilities, and a timeline to set up the lab by August 2010 to provide equal technology access and meet standards.
Bluestem Award Booktalk
The document provides information about the 2010-11 Bluestem Award, which recognizes the top book selected by Illinois students in grades 3 through 5. It lists 20 nominated books and encourages students to read at least 4 books to be eligible to vote for their favorite title. It also explains the meaning behind the award's name and provides summaries for 5 of the nominated books: Sky Boys, Kenny and the Dragon, How to Steal a Dog, The BFG, and No Talking.
Introduction to Network Systems Final Presentation
This document summarizes a project to set up computer labs at two sites - Second Chance Shelter in East St. Louis and Restoration Urban Ministries in Champaign-Urbana. Both sites provide transitional housing and services for families. The project team set up computer labs with 6 computers each running Linux or Edubuntu. They encountered issues like inappropriate web content, computer crashing, and saving documents. Solutions included installing content filters, cleaning up systems daily, and using Google Docs. Sustainability of the labs and consistent administrative support remained problems.
Classroom Management and the School Library
This document discusses classroom management strategies and theories that are relevant for school librarians. It profiles several school librarians and their approaches, which generally focus on establishing positive relationships with students, maintaining consistency in enforcing rules, having an inviting library space, and circulating to monitor behavior rather than taking an authoritarian approach. The document also reviews classroom management theories like Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), Choice Theory, and the Nurtured Heart Approach that inform best practices for librarians.
