The city of Islamabad is beautiful but also ruthless, full of intrigue and deception. While the author loves the city, they also hate it for its cold-blooded politics. Since 1988, there has been constant political instability, with leaders overthrown by the military or exiled. The two most promising leaders for democracy, Benazir Bhutto and her husband, were both assassinated. The long struggle for an independent judiciary and rule of law prevailed when the Prime Minister announced judges would be reinstated after negotiations. This victory shows how democracy can succeed through reconciliation rather than confrontation.
Codes and Terminology are topics that are easy to introduce, but tricky to understand in full complexity. IT Professionals encounter “codes” all the time. e-Health’s notion is really no different.

Nortel, a Canadian telephone equipment maker, filed for bankruptcy protection in January 2009 due to structural issues exacerbated by the financial crisis. While recessions impact companies with pre-existing problems, the primary cause of Nortel's bankruptcy was its inability to keep up with the rapid pace of digital technology development. Moore's Law, which observed that digital capabilities double every 18 months, created a relentless cycle of innovation that Nortel could not sustain. Despite early investments in digital technology, Nortel failed to integrate acquisitions and transform its business model to adapt to the digital shift in the industry. As competitors continued advancing technology, Nortel was left behind, leading to bankruptcy.

This document provides a summary of a webinar on clinical development, contracting, and outsourcing in the MENA and Asia-Pacific regions. The webinar covered the clinical development process and landscape in these regions, opportunities and challenges, notable industry partnerships and transactions, and key growth areas. It found that clinical development accounts for a large share of pharmaceutical R&D spending. Both regions are growing markets and R&D is shifting there due to lower costs and other advantages. Outsourcing of clinical activities is increasing to access these markets and improve productivity. The CRO market in Asia-Pacific is more developed with strategic partnerships, while MENA's market is smaller and local.

1) The document discusses how wearable technology will benefit enterprises in 2015 due to increasing awareness of its value in corporate settings and Apple's marketing of the Apple Watch.
2) Key benefits of wearables for enterprises include improved training through new learning materials, minimizing training needs by providing easy access to work processes, and targeted on-the-job assistance for new employees.
3) Wearables can also enhance collaboration through more natural remote interaction, improve productivity by enabling faster responses to notifications and requests, and increase security through identity verification and health/safety monitoring of employees.
Coding is the new literacy to make a difference in the worldmcd_boulanger
The document discusses the importance of teaching coding to children from an early age. It notes that many everyday objects are made possible through code, yet most people do not know how to read and write code. The author advocates starting to teach coding in kindergarten, as it can be presented as play at that age. By starting early and making it fun, children can build positive attitudes towards coding rather than negative stereotypes. The document provides several examples of class projects the author's students have worked on to learn coding, such as creating audio books and videos about environmental issues. It emphasizes that coding can be taught to students of all backgrounds and that many resources are available online to learn coding for free.

The company grew substantially throughout the 1960s and invented the laser printer in 1969. In the 1970s, Xerox PARC developed many modern computing technologies such as the mouse and GUI. Today, Xerox manufactures and sells a wide variety of office equipment including printers, photocopiers, and multifunction devices. It maintains a joint venture with Fuji Photo Film called Fuji Xerox in Asia-Pacific markets.
This document provides an overview and summary of a presentation on U.S. economic sanctions updates given to the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association's International Law Section. It discusses the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and its role in administering and enforcing U.S. economic sanctions. It also summarizes OFAC's authorities and provides examples of recent entries added to the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list. Specific sanctions programs involving Burma, Libya, Syria, and Sudan are also briefly outlined.
Gathering and defining software requirements is difficult. One Agile technique to help address this challenge is writing user stories, which are short descriptions of functions that an end-user would want. While user stories help convert concepts into functions, writing good user stories is easier said than done.
What you’ll learn in this presentation:
• The basics of user stories.
• How user stories fit into the overall Agile planning process.
• How to write a user story.
The document discusses the different levels of planning in Agile development: release planning, iteration planning, and task planning. It provides details on each level, including who is involved, how to define a release plan, estimating velocity, common problems and solutions, and examples. The key aspects covered are the differences between releases and iterations, estimating at each level, and breaking down stories into tasks.

Power Pointless How To Make An Amazing PresentationJoan Shi
The document discusses common problems with PowerPoint presentations and provides tips for creating effective presentations. It notes that 50% of presentations are unbearable due to overuse of text-heavy bullet points. Effective presentations tell a story using minimal text and images to trigger emotions. Presenters should focus on understanding the audience and their goals rather than simply relaying information. The key is to influence the audience rather than just tell them something. Presentations require planning content and structure to engage the audience and achieve the presenter's objectives.
The Masters of Deception (MOD) was a group of hackers in New York that grew out of meetings on telephone network test lines in the 1980s. Founding members included Acid Phreak, Scorpion, and HAC. MOD engaged in exploits of telephone infrastructure and gained notoriety in the book "Masters of Deception." MOD and the Legion of Doom engaged in a "Great Hacker War" from 1990-1992. As a result of an FBI/Secret Service investigation, five MOD members were indicted in 1992 and all five pleaded guilty, receiving probation or prison sentences.

BUILDING FUTURE VALUE!
Afrika Tikkun is building a sustainable future by enabling today’s disadvantaged children and youth to become tomorrow’s productive citizens. We do this via a unique and proven Cradle-to-Career model which invests in the education and social development of children from early infancy through young adulthood and into gainful employment.
South Africa’s multitudes of disadvantaged children face unique challenges that are no fault of their own. For many, lack of access to basics such as having parents, food, shelter and healthcare means that daily life revolves around simple survival, frequently leading away from education and social promise into despair driven crime.
Afrika Tikkun's mission is to break the cycle of poverty, providing these children with Hope, Capability and Promise - the education, life-skills and confidence to become the self-sustaining, productive future of the country. This is the shared goal of Nelson Mandela, our founding Patron, whose legacy we strive to live by and to instill in all those we touch.

Offsets in Defence Procurement in Canada - ConsiderationsBrenda Swick
Companies that bid on defence and Canadian Coast Guard contracts are well aware of Canada’s Industrial and Regional Benefits (IRB) Policy, which requires them to undertake business activities in Canada that are valued at 100 percent of the prime contract with Public Works and Government Services Canada. Under Canada’s new Defence Procurement Strategy, IRBs, now called “Value Propositions for Industrial Technological Benefits (ITBs),” will, for the first time, be a rated requirement in the evaluation of a bidder’s proposal. This means that bidders with an otherwise competitive bid are now exposed to losing to a competitor whose bid contains a stronger Value Proposition. The rules are still being developed and therefore bidders would be well advised to keep abreast of the implementation of this new rated requirement. Bidders should ensure that they understand up front the Value Proposition requirement in the solicitation document as well as rules for challenging it, if necessary. Finally, Canada’s new Integrity Provisions will now apply to prime contractors that flow down some of their offset requirements to subcontractors; prime contractors would therefore be well advised to ensure that their subcontractors are willing and able to sign onto terms similar to those set out in the Integrity Provisions. Failure to do so could result in the termination of the contract and imposition of damages very unfavourable to the prime contractor.
All of these issues are discussed in the presentation to the European Countertrade and Offsets Club to be given in Vienna, on November 20, 2014.
This document summarizes a case between Russell Childs (Complainant) and Microsoft Corporation (Respondent) regarding alleged violations of regulations related to H-1B visa employment. The Complainant filed a complaint with the Department of Labor alleging Microsoft violated regulations regarding wages and benefits for H-1B employees. An administrative law judge held a hearing to consider additional alleged violations beyond those already investigated. The document includes 17 joint stipulations of fact agreed upon by both parties related to the Complainant's employment with Microsoft in both Canada and the United States under an H-1B visa.

2. Mythe 1
Redémarrer mon moteur coûte plus cher que de le
laisser fonctionner quelques minutes.
‣ Faux. Plus de 10 secondes de marche au ralenti coûtent plus
cher que redémarrer le véhicule.
‣ Les redémarrages fréquents n’ajoutent que 10$ en moyenne
par année en frais d’usure des pièces. La marche au ralenti
coûte cinq fois plus.

stratèges en développement durable
3. Mythe 2
Il est mieux de réchauffer mon véhicule avant de partir.
‣ Le véhicule se réchauffe plus vite lorsqu’il avance que lorsqu’il
est arrêté.
‣ Attendre 30 secondes est suffisant pour réchauffer votre
moteur.
‣ Vous avez déjà passé la journée dehors. Il suffit de ne pas
se dévêtir trop tôt.

4. Mythe 3
J’ai un moteur diesel, je n’ai pas le choix de laisser
tourner mon moteur au ralenti.
‣ Faux. Qu’il soit diesel ou à essence, la marche au ralenti
excessive peut endommager votre moteur. Parce que la
combustion est incomplète, il s’accumule des résidus sur
les cylindres qui peuvent endommager les composantes
internes et augmenter votre consommation.

5. Mythe 4
La marche au ralenti ne contribue pas beaucoup
aux émissions de CO2.
‣ Un véhicule au ralenti émet 2,88 kg de CO2 à l’heure.
‣ En moyenne, une personne laisse fonctionner son
véhicule au ralenti entre 5 et 10 min. par jour, soit
entre 77 et 144 kg CO2 / an.
‣ Cela équivaut à un plein d’essence!

6. Mythe 5
La marche au ralenti n’a pas d’impacts sur la santé.
‣ Il a été démontré que la marche au ralenti contribue à
l’asthme, aux allergies, aux maladies du coeur et des
poumons ainsi qu’au cancer.
‣ La marche au ralenti émet davantage de polluants
atmosphériques lorsque le moteur est froid parce que la
combustion est incomplète.
