The document discusses concepts and techniques in data mining. It covers topics such as the evolution of data mining from database systems, different types of data that can be mined including relational databases, data warehouses, and the World Wide Web. It also discusses the architecture of a typical data mining system and the types of patterns that can be mined, including descriptive patterns like characterization and predictive patterns like classification and prediction. Key points made are that not all patterns are interesting and that data mining systems focus the search based on user-provided constraints and measures of interestingness.
This document summarizes the history and key figures in astronomy from Ptolemy to Newton. It discusses their major contributions, including: Ptolemy's geocentric model of epicycles; Aristotle's observations supporting a spherical Earth; Copernicus' proposal of a heliocentric model; Brahe's observations of supernovae; Galileo's discoveries with telescopes that supported heliocentrism and got him in trouble with the church; Kepler's laws of planetary motion based on Brahe's data; and Newton's laws of motion and universal gravitation, building on prior work.

This document discusses WordPress security and how to prevent and recover from hacking attempts. It explains common reasons sites get hacked like for fun, profit or search engine optimization. It provides tips to check if a site has been hacked by looking for browser warnings, suspicious files or code. If hacked, it recommends recovering from backup, using a security service, changing passwords and keys, updating software and disabling file editors. It also stresses the importance of regular backups that include the database and files and are stored offsite.
This document discusses how to create a child theme in WordPress. It explains that a child theme allows users to modify or add to the functionality of an existing parent theme without altering the parent theme's files. It provides instructions on setting up a child theme, including creating a style.css file with code to link to the parent theme and adding a screenshot. The document emphasizes that a child theme allows updates to the parent theme while preserving any customizations made in the child theme.

This document provides an overview of Indonesia's cement industry, including current production capacity and market share of major players. It notes that domestic cement consumption has been growing at 5-6% annually, driven by economic growth, infrastructure expansion, and increasing per capita consumption. However, Indonesia's per capita consumption of around 229kg remains well below other Asian countries. The document outlines several new cement plant projects that could add over 40 million tons of new capacity by 2017, as well as expansion plans by existing players. It provides a breakdown of 2013 domestic cement consumption and market share by region.
Why should QAs want to automate tests? This talk is covers the benefits of automation, an introduction to exploratory testing and a discussion of the role of a QA.

The document discusses several topics related to Earth science, including:
1) The layers of Earth's interior including the crust, mantle, and core. The mantle is partially melted lower down and rigid upper mantle.
2) Plate tectonics and how the movement of tectonic plates at a rate of 3 cm per year explains continental drift and mountain range formation.
3) The atmosphere is divided into four layers - troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere - based on temperature, composition, and density.
4) The ozone layer is an atmospheric filter that protects from UV rays, and holes in the ozone are caused by interactions with pollutant gases.
The document discusses assessing the value of analytic tools used in hospitals. It notes that hospitals spend a lot annually maintaining tools for cost accounting, decision support, and contract management. The document provides steps for hospitals to take in assessing their tools, including making an inventory of current tools, assessing costs and benefits, and identifying strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. It also describes techniques like brainstorming, SCAMPER, and the futures wheel that can be used to evaluate tools and identify potential alternatives or areas of improvement. The overall goal is to ensure the tools provide good return on investment and meet the changing needs of healthcare.
This photo album contains pictures from our company meeting held last month. The album is organized by event with sections for the morning presentations, group activities during lunch, and the afternoon wrap-up session. In total there are over 50 photos that capture the various moments and highlights from the all-day offsite meeting.
The document provides an overview of Indonesia's cement industry, including production capacity and market share of major players. It notes that total domestic capacity in 2014 was 71.5 million tons across seven major producers. Several producers plan to increase capacity through new plants and expansions between 2013-2017, adding over 40 million tons of new capacity. It also summarizes Semen Indonesia as the largest player with a 44% domestic market share in 2013 and total installed capacity of 30 million tons including its subsidiary in Vietnam.
This document lists types of living room furniture like sideboards, dressers, coffee tables, and sofas. It notes that living room furniture makes a lasting impression on visitors, so it should be chosen carefully. Most customers looking to update their living room style choose modern furniture, which is available in unique and distinctive designs and shapes.

The document compares and analyzes two optical businesses - Mi-Wah Superior Optical Centre in Kuala Lumpur and Teo Optometry in Pontian, Johor. It provides background information on each business such as location, founders, products, number of employees and customers. It then analyzes factors such as number of competitors, competitor profiles, business strategies, market obstacles, and market nature for each. Based on higher revenue, more advanced equipment, and customer willingness to travel further, the document concludes Teo Optometry is more commercially successful compared to Mi-Wah Superior Optical Centre.

街貓,出現在你我的生活中。有些人愛貓,總趁著夜深人靜時餵貓;有些人對於街貓造成的影響感到不悅,做出激進的行為;更多的人,不覺得街貓和他們有關係。
街貓・接貓計畫,希望藉由建製「街貓地圖」平台,整合全台灣街貓數量及結紮狀況。於社區中設立「社區街貓站」,由自發性的志工小組在社區中深耕,改變社區居民對街貓的觀感。最後,要求政府負責,並結合NGO的專業力量,培育更多願意投入街貓工作的大眾。

This document provides an overview of a meetup group on software architecture and design. It discusses the motivation for starting the group which was the lack of discussion around architecture and design topics. It then covers the history and members of the group. Several potential topics are listed that could be discussed at future meetups like patterns, frameworks, and anti-patterns. Finally, different potential meeting formats are presented such as workshops, presentations, and working together on content. The overall goal of the group is to provide a forum for discussing software architecture and design topics and exchanging ideas.
