The document discusses Chris Anderson's long tail theory and how it relates to the video game industry. It explains that the long tail theory describes how the internet has transformed commerce by allowing niche products to find customers. Online stores like Steam are able to offer a wide selection of video game titles, including indie games, targeting niches. However, statistics also show that while digital downloads have increased niche markets, physical copies of popular games still significantly outsell less popular titles.
The document discusses Market Essentials Retake classes that provide a review of the introductory stock market education. A retake class can help clarify areas that may not be fully understood and allow learning with a fresh perspective. Retake classes are smaller, allow more individual attention, and help fill in any gaps in knowledge. The schedule lists upcoming retake class locations and dates. Registering for a retake class provides an opportunity to further trading education.
The Arctic tundra biome has very little rainfall and nutrient-poor soil, including a permanently frozen sublayer. Typical plants are short and grow together in clumps or cushions to withstand the cold. Reindeer moss, sedges, and cushion plants can survive. Animals like polar bears, Arctic foxes, and musk ox have adapted thick fur and blubber to stay warm. Humans impact the tundra through resource extraction and climate change.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise boosts blood flow, releases endorphins, and promotes changes in the brain which help regulate emotions and stress levels.
La economía estudia cómo las sociedades administran sus recursos escasos y cómo las personas toman decisiones. Los individuos se enfrentan a opciones como qué producir, a qué precio vender y quién trabajará. Los mercados usualmente coordinan los intercambios de manera eficiente, pero el gobierno a veces puede mejorar los resultados. La productividad de una nación determina el nivel de vida de su población.
The document discusses the evolution of web application frameworks from CGI scripts to modern frameworks that provide a common interface between web applications and web servers. It provides examples of how "Hello World" applications look in various web application frameworks like Ruby on Rails, Django, and others. It also covers middleware and how middleware can modify requests and responses without changing the application code.

Continuity is a Perl library that allows web applications to be written using continuations, avoiding the need to restart the application on each request. This allows storing stateful information between requests. The library handles mapping incoming HTTP requests to continuations. The presentation describes how continuations work, examples of their use, and ideas for future development of Continuity.
This document discusses organizational growth, including reasons for growth, methods of measuring and achieving growth, and challenges that can arise. It describes how businesses often aim for survival, profit, and growth. Growth can provide economies of scale, increased sales and profits, and risk diversification. Organizations can measure growth through metrics like market share, sales, profits, value, and employees. Growth can be organic through increased customers, markets or products, or inorganic via acquisitions and mergers. Both methods have advantages and disadvantages relating to speed, cost, control, and cultural integration. Problems like diseconomies of scale can arise with increased size.
El documento resume tres películas que se estrenarán pronto: Un plan brillante, sobre una ejecutiva de diamantes que planea un robo; La señal, sobre un detective privado involucrado en una historia de traición y ambición en 1952; y Lucio, sobre un anarquista español conocido por falsificar cheques de viajero masivamente y poner en jaque al banco más poderoso mientras trabajaba como albañil.
The document discusses the definition and purpose of libraries. It states that a library is a collection of sources, resources and services housed in a structure and organized for public use. Traditionally, a library's main collection was books, but it can also contain other useful materials. The document ponders the future of libraries in a digital age and whether their role needs to be redefined to focus more on collecting and providing access to information rather than physical books.
The document discusses metadata elements used for simple and advanced searches. It provides examples of metadata element sets for the eDoc server of the Max Planck Society, the library of North Carolina State University, and E-Prints in Library and Information Science. The document also reviews which elements are used for simple versus advanced searches and includes discussion and sources.
