An arctic fox will eat leftovers from polar bears and other animals like lemmings and berries to survive. During winter, an arctic fox finds shelter in tunnels to hibernate to conserve energy. The arctic fox lives a good life by sneaking up behind polar bears to eat their leftovers in order to find food.

Wengines, Workflows, and 2 years of advanced data processing in Apache OODTChris Mattmann
With the advent of OODT-215 and OODT-491, there has been a tremendous amount of work to port our next generation Workflow Management system (cutely dubbed "WEngine" for "workflow engine") from an isolated branch into the mainline trunk.
The WEngine system brings amazing advantages including explicit support for branch and bounds in workflow models; prioritized thread pooling and queueing on a per task, and per workflow level; global workflow level conditions (pre and post); condition and workflow timeouts, and an entirely new and more descriptive state model complete with failure codes, and with checkpointing.
WEngine is currently processing the NPOESS Preparatory Project (NPP) PEATE testbed and its thousands of jobs per day, and is being slowly introduced into processing of an entire snow and ice climatology for the Western US and Alaska for the U.S. National Climate Assessment (NCA), working with the world's best snow hydrologists and snow scientists.
With all of those new features, what's an Apache OODT user and fan to do? How can you use WEngine in your system? How does it work today? How will it work tomorrow? We'll answer those questions and more in this fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants exciting super talk!
On Friday 28 and Saturday 29 October 2016 the Netherlands Intelligence Studies Association (NISA) celebrates its 25th anniversary with an inspiring two-days conference. Main theme is the strongly changed environment of the intelligence analyst during these past 25 years.
2013 iafie conference program (may 3 draft)David Jimenez
The document provides the tentative schedule for the Ninth Annual Conference of the International Association for Intelligence Education (IAFIE) to be held from May 20-23, 2013 in El Paso, Texas. The conference will include sessions on intelligence education practices, challenges in cybersecurity education, security issues in Asia-Pacific, the role of games in teaching intelligence, and lessons from intelligence internships. Keynote speakers will address topics such as unfinished intelligence reform, challenges facing Air Force intelligence, and cyber security threats.
Teaching NASA to Open Source its Software the Apache WayChris Mattmann
The document discusses the Apache Software Foundation and why NASA should contribute software to Apache projects rather than creating its own foundation. It describes Apache as the largest open source software developer with thousands of committers and contributors working on over 100 projects. It emphasizes that Apache uses a meritocratic model and gaining commit access requires contributing and earning credentials over time. It urges NASA to leverage what already exists at Apache to build communities, gain control through meritocracy, and help retain talented software engineers rather than reinventing the wheel by creating a separate foundation.
Companies constantly search for ways to improve internal communications and collaboration. It's a problem that most companies struggle with, but can be overcome.
The document discusses lions and their habitat and behaviors. It notes that lions live in groups called prides and use their strong hind legs, good night vision, acute sense of smell, and ability to roar over long distances to successfully hunt prey at night and rest during the day. Female lions do most of the hunting for the group. The document provides information from sources like Bing and Wikipedia on lions.
The document discusses different components of corporate firewalls:
Firewalls prevent unauthorized access to a company's network from outside networks like the Internet. They monitor data flowing in and out and intercept unjust access.
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) allows sending and receiving files between machines remotely over the Internet.
A bastion host is a hardened computer located outside the firewall that withstands attacks and typically hosts a single application like a proxy server.
A proxy server acts as an intermediary between clients and other servers, evaluating requests according to filtering rules and sometimes altering or serving requests without contacting the actual server.
White-cheeked gibbons live in the high canopy of tropical rainforests in Southeast Asia. They eat berries, buds, young plants, and fruits that they grab and feed on while hanging from branches using their long arms and hands adapted for climbing. The males defend the family's territory every 5 days from intruders by chasing them out to protect their home range and family. Their adaptations include thumbs that extend from the wrist and index fingers for grasping fruits while hanging and a small body suited for life in the forest canopy.
This document discusses various theories and perspectives on motivation in psychology. It covers physiological and psychological needs, drives, incentives, evolutionary and instinct perspectives, drive reduction and homeostasis theories, stimulus motivation theory, Maslow's hierarchy of needs, and achievement motivation assessment. Key points include that motivation concerns goals and activating behavior, motives take the form of needs and drives, and psychologists disagree on the precise nature of motivation.
