A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use and one disused. Most children played on the active track, while one child played alone on the disused track. If a train was approaching, one could divert it onto the disused track, saving most children but sacrificing the lone child. However, diverting the train could endanger passengers and the diverted track may be unsafe. The story questions what decision should be made in such dilemmas.
This document is a summary of 3 generations of family photos found in an attic. The photos contain memories of loved ones from the past, including those that bring laughter and tears. While time changes everything, the memories and faces of family captured in the photos represent where one comes from and who they will become. The collection of multi-generational family photos is more than just heirlooms and represents the legacy of the family.

Africa has a long and diverse history, with some of the earliest human inhabitants being the San and Khoekhoe peoples who lived in southern Africa for thousands of years. The continent is extremely culturally and linguistically diverse, with over 2000 languages spoken across its many countries. Geographically, Africa contains the massive Sahara Desert as well as major river systems like the Nile. Some of its most famous places include the ancient Egyptian temples of Abu Simbel and the Victoria Falls.

Ultra-scalable Architectures for Telecommunications and Web 2.0 ServicesMauricio Arango
This document discusses how telecommunications and web services are adopting horizontal scaling and parallel architectures to handle enormous growth. It describes how event-driven applications are well-suited for parallelism and how middleware like tuple spaces, message queues, and publish/subscribe systems provide coordination and scalability. Finally, it argues that horizontal scalability requires parallel designs from the start and that simple middleware models with distributed caching can effectively support both communication and data management needs.
The document summarizes a presentation given by Faye Brownlie on September 24, 2010 in Coquitlam about formative assessment and quality teaching in inclusive classrooms. The presentation covered current theories of teaching and learning, the concept of assessment for learning (AFL), examples of AFL strategies like learning intentions, descriptive feedback, questioning and student ownership of learning. Classroom examples of how to implement these strategies were also provided.
Overcoming Speech Apprehension refers to reducing the fear and anxiety experienced when public speaking. Symptoms include anticipation anxiety before speaking, a surge of anxiety when beginning, and gradual decline of anxiety after starting. Better preparation and skills training can help minimize nervousness, and listeners may not notice if a speaker feels nervous. Practicing speeches in different styles like conversational, impromptu, scripted, and extemporaneous can help build confidence.

This document discusses methods for selecting and narrowing a research topic for a paper or project. It recommends brainstorming personal interests, mapping connections between topics, and researching potential topics in library articles to choose a broad topic. It then presents the Mold Method to systematically narrow a topic by defining the general topic, topic area, general and specific purposes, and creating a focused thesis statement that addresses the specific purpose and audience.

Life insurance provides financial security for one's dependents and oneself. It is a contract where an insurance company agrees to pay a sum of money to one's beneficiaries upon their death or according to the conditions in the policy. While originally meant to provide money for dependents after death, life insurance now serves broader purposes like providing income replacement if one dies or lives too long past working age. The amount paid out depends on factors like one's income, dependents, and life circumstances.

Quality of Service in Publish/Subscribe MiddlewareAngelo Corsaro
During the last decade the publish/subscribe communication paradigm gained a central role in the design and development of a large class of applications ranging from stock exchange systems to news tickers, from air traffic control to defense systems. This success is mainly due to the capacity of publish/subscribe to completely decouple communication participants, thus allowing the development of applications that are more tolerant to communications asynchrony. This chapter introduces the publish/subscribe communication paradigm, stressing those charac- teristics that have a stronger impact on the quality of service provided to partic- ipants. The chapter also introduce the reader to two widely recognized industrial standards for publish/subscribe systems: the Java Message Service (JMS) and the Data Distribution Service (DDS).
The document discusses revenue recognition under collaborative arrangements for biotechnology companies. It provides an overview of BIO and its advocacy on this issue. Case studies are presented on revenue recognition for collaborations between Affymax and Takeda, Regeneron and sanofi-aventis, and Adolor and Pfizer. The document outlines best practices for biotechs in determining accounting for collaborations and communicating about new collaborative arrangements. It also provides recommendations from BIO's study for FASB and SEC to provide additional guidance.
The document summarizes the history of the free software and open source movements. It discusses early hacker culture at MIT, the founding of the GNU project and Free Software Foundation by Richard Stallman, the development of Linux by Linus Torvalds, and Eric Raymond's analysis of open source collaboration in "The Cathedral and the Bazaar." It also covers diversity between the free software and open source communities and the impact of open source software.
