The document describes the equipment, services, and experience of PRG (Production Resource Group) across multiple areas including audio, video, lighting, scenery, and computers. PRG has over 1,000 employees, 2.5 million square feet of space, a $500 million equipment inventory, and provides services for events like concerts, sports, television, trade shows, and corporate meetings. They are a single source supplier that can handle all production needs for an event.
The document discusses Web 2.0 tools and applications that can be used as alternatives to expensive software. It begins by explaining the shift from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 and how Web 2.0 enables creation, contribution, collaboration and connection. A variety of free Web 2.0 tools are then categorized and described, including tools for image editing, video editing, presentations, project management, cloud storage, PDF creation, website building, and social media management. Examples of using some of the tools are also provided.
This document discusses the health benefits of regular brisk walking. It states that heart disease is a major cause of death for executives due to stress, smoking, poor diet, and lack of exercise. Regular brisk walking of 30 minutes per day can help lower cholesterol, blood pressure, and stress levels while improving heart health, fitness, and muscle tone. Simple stretches like knee extensions and flexions are also recommended to relieve knee pain and strengthen muscles when walking.
This document discusses ways to improve vehicle fleet management systems by capturing additional metadata during stationary periods. It finds that vehicles are stationary 87% of the time, so focusing only on location tracking during motion misses important context. Collecting metadata on arrival, departure, delays would provide more useful analytics. The proposal is to equip drivers with easy ways to submit these metadata via buttons. This could reduce bandwidth usage by 70% while improving replay and retention of valuable customers.
Sunita Williams captured photos of the Earth at night from the International Space Station, including shots of a sandstorm leaving North Africa, the Gibraltar Straits between Europe and Africa, the Swiss Alps, Iceland, the Black Sea, and the Red Sea. A satellite photo shows lights already on in cities in Europe like Paris and Barcelona but still daylight in others like London, Lisbon, and Madrid, with the Azores islands visible in the ocean. Another photo shows nightfall over Brazil in major cities like São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, and others along the Brazilian coast. A final photo shows nighttime lights over North America centered around Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington and others, with daylight still

Ted O'Neill's presentation discusses MOOCs and their context for educators. It explores what MOOCs are by examining their key characteristics like being massive, open, online and courses. It analyzes different types of MOOCs like xMOOCs focused on content delivery and cMOOCs based on connectivist principles. The presentation also considers challenges MOOCs face and their suitability for different learner groups. It concludes by suggesting educators consider their options carefully when institutions ask them to run MOOCs and look for future developments in the field.
This document summarizes a project-based learning course involving translation work to support tsunami survivors in Rikuzentakata, Japan. The goals of the course were for students to develop technology skills, collaborate at a distance, improve their language skills through translation work, and learn about the local community and experiences of survivors. Student feedback indicated they enjoyed having flexibility to work independently with technology tools like Google Drive, appreciated collaborating with peers to provide feedback on work, and found translating and ensuring accurate meaning transfer between languages to be challenging skills. The document includes examples of student reflections on their experiences and a sample translation with commentary.
This 3-month lesson plan outlines 12 constructs to teach English literacy to Year 1 students. Each construct has objectives, skills, and suggested teaching activities. The activities focus on developing students' ability to identify letters, associate sounds with letters, blend sounds into words, segment words into sounds, understand and use language at the word, phrase and sentence level through activities like copying letters and words, matching pictures to words, answering questions based on pictures, and constructing simple sentences with guidance. Assessment includes tasks like reading letters and words, writing from dictation, answering questions based on texts. The goal is to help students gain foundational English literacy skills.
This document contains 49 questions about JavaScript and AJAX. It covers topics like the differences between JavaScript and Java, client-side vs server-side JavaScript, JavaScript syntax, variables, functions, objects, events, and more. The questions are multiple choice designed to test knowledge of JavaScript programming concepts and capabilities.
