A presentation, probably in our first few weeks after founding &Then in jan 2008. Taj was looking for a new media specialist who could design from experience to tech solution.
This document discusses the use of digital storytelling tools for learning. It defines digital storytelling as using words, images, and sounds to convey information in an engaging way. Digital storytelling allows for personalization and simulating real-life examples. The document provides examples of digital storytelling tools like Animoto, Prezi, and Storybird and discusses how digital storytelling can help students develop 21st century skills and examine complex topics in an interesting way while integrating technology with traditional storytelling. It emphasizes focusing learning opportunities on course outcomes rather than just the tools.
This document discusses a lesson about believing in Jesus Christ. It is divided into three sections: I) A chastisement, reminding readers that the Bible is intended to lead us to have a new heart and to learn about God; II) A correction, emphasizing the importance of having our own personal experiences with Jesus Christ; III) A concern, noting that Jesus spoke of earthly and spiritual things like new birth, the wind, Christ coming from and returning to heaven, the cross, faith, God's love, condemnation, who is condemned, and light.
The Nordic countries are a geographical and cultural region in Northern Europe and the North Atlantic. It consists of five countries.
(Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden)
as well as their autonomous regions.
(The Åland Islands, the Faroe Islands, and Greenland)
The document discusses a new model, Anna Reviakina, a Russian immigrant living in the UK since year 7, for a photo shoot. It will be a medium close-up to focus on her face and maturity in a grey turtleneck, emphasizing that immigrants can be self-sufficient and not rely on benefits. The shoot aims to showcase multiculturalism in Leicester by replacing the previous "Ask an African" content with Anna's story of adaptation in a new country.
The document discusses improvements that could be made to the Textpert mobile app. It recommends changing the dominant color from aquamarine to blue to allow for more secondary color options. It also suggests switching from a single-page design to a card-based layout for key pages like profiles and posts to make information more scannable. Additional changes include adding captions to posts, improving the profile page design to focus on user information, and linking to an external avatar creator to allow for more personalized profile pictures. The goal is to make the app interface more visually appealing, organized and user-friendly.

This document discusses software project management. It defines software as a collection of programs, instructions, key-value-character sets. It defines a project as a planned activity with specific objectives that is carried out over a predetermined time span in several phases with constrained resources. The key idea of software project management is planning, monitoring, and controlling software projects to ensure they satisfy real needs by identifying stakeholders and objectives. Proper management is important as surveys found most projects were late or over budget due to a lack of proven project management and risk management skills.
This document discusses different types of adverbs and provides examples. It explains that many adverbs are formed by adding -ly to adjectives, though some words ending in -ly are not adverbs. It defines different types of adverbs including manner, place, time, frequency, purpose/reason, quantity/degree, and affirmation/negation. Examples are provided for each type of adverb like "happily" for manner and "tomorrow" for time. The document concludes by providing a practice exercise with blank spaces to insert different adverbs.
This document contains a financial analysis of Whole Foods Market, including a SWOT analysis identifying strengths such as its popular brand and large selection of organic foods, weaknesses such as higher prices, and opportunities and threats. It also provides details on Whole Foods' accounting practices, financial metrics like profit margins over time, and valuation models estimating the stock is undervalued. The conclusion is that Whole Foods is a recommended buy based on historical earnings growth and trading below projected price estimates.
This presentation discusses using digital storytelling tools for education. Digital storytelling involves using words, images, and sounds to convey information and stories in an engaging way. It has traditionally been used for cultural preservation, education and entertainment. Popular digital storytelling tools discussed include Animoto, Prezi, Infogram, Padlet, Piktochart, Storybird, Google Sites, and Storify. The presentation outlines the benefits of digital storytelling, such as variation, personalization, and active learning. It also provides examples of how digital storytelling can be used to explain complex topics and gain more student attention. Seven elements of effective digital storytelling are identified.
Bespoke games for brands, also known as Advergaming is a powerful way to connect with consumers. Unlike traditional advertising which is passive and one way, a well-executed Advergame engages the consumer deeply. A sound strategy, great creative and an experienced mobile app developer are essential ingredients though.
Hotel industry in India & the Taj groupAnant Kumar
The document discusses Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL), which operates various hotel brands across India and other countries. Some key points:
- IHCL was founded in 1903 and is headquartered in Mumbai, operating 108 hotels in India and 17 internationally under brands like Taj, Vivanta, Gateway and Ginger.
- It analyzes the hospitality industry and IHCL's position using tools like Porter's 5 forces, SWOT analysis and segmentation/positioning.
- IHCL has a diverse portfolio of hotel types targeting different customer segments. It also explores opportunities like expansion, mergers, and tie-ups with airlines/cruise lines.
The document presents a case study on the hotel industry by Aditya Pilkhane, Anurag, Sanjay, Simran, Shikhar and Smriti. It discusses factors such as location, amenities, customer satisfaction, pricing and promotion that are important for hotels. It also examines concepts like search quality, experience quality, credence quality, demand and supply management. The document provides recommendations on positioning different hotel segments and using integrated marketing communications.
Global Situational Awareness of A.I. and where its headedvikram sood
You can see the future first in San Francisco.
Over the past year, the talk of the town has shifted from $10 billion compute clusters to $100 billion clusters to trillion-dollar clusters. Every six months another zero is added to the boardroom plans. Behind the scenes, there’s a fierce scramble to secure every power contract still available for the rest of the decade, every voltage transformer that can possibly be procured. American big business is gearing up to pour trillions of dollars into a long-unseen mobilization of American industrial might. By the end of the decade, American electricity production will have grown tens of percent; from the shale fields of Pennsylvania to the solar farms of Nevada, hundreds of millions of GPUs will hum.
The AGI race has begun. We are building machines that can think and reason. By 2025/26, these machines will outpace college graduates. By the end of the decade, they will be smarter than you or I; we will have superintelligence, in the true sense of the word. Along the way, national security forces not seen in half a century will be un-leashed, and before long, The Project will be on. If we’re lucky, we’ll be in an all-out race with the CCP; if we’re unlucky, an all-out war.
Everyone is now talking about AI, but few have the faintest glimmer of what is about to hit them. Nvidia analysts still think 2024 might be close to the peak. Mainstream pundits are stuck on the wilful blindness of “it’s just predicting the next word”. They see only hype and business-as-usual; at most they entertain another internet-scale technological change.
Before long, the world will wake up. But right now, there are perhaps a few hundred people, most of them in San Francisco and the AI labs, that have situational awareness. Through whatever peculiar forces of fate, I have found myself amongst them. A few years ago, these people were derided as crazy—but they trusted the trendlines, which allowed them to correctly predict the AI advances of the past few years. Whether these people are also right about the next few years remains to be seen. But these are very smart people—the smartest people I have ever met—and they are the ones building this technology. Perhaps they will be an odd footnote in history, or perhaps they will go down in history like Szilard and Oppenheimer and Teller. If they are seeing the future even close to correctly, we are in for a wild ride.
Let me tell you what we see.
A sound and deep insight into building a sustainable DAO. All copyrights rest with Arca, published here for sharing knowledge and to keep as public memory.
NFT or Non-fungible tokens
Are identified as a unit of data stored in an electronic
ledger (blockchain technology), then validated to be a unique identifier that cannot be interchanged and are indivisible.
NFTs have bridged the gap between celebrities and fans, creators and collectors. A marketplace plays a very important role in the circulation of NFTs among every NFT enthusiast.
What is an NFT marketplace?
An NFT marketplace is a platform that acts as a medium or a meeting point for collectors and creators. Creators can come, list their NFTs on the marketplace. Whereas, for collectors, all they have to do is to come, bid, and buy their favorite NFT. Through this process, they come a step closer to their favorite celebrities, artists, or creators. For creators, it is a golden opportunity to get the real deal. Every time the NFT collectible is sold the creators a small percentage of profit as royalty.
Till we can control nature, let’s control how we respond to its everchanging nature.
This concept is for state governments of NE India to reduce losses of lives, livestock and materials - caused by annual flooding.
Jeevan Rath – the wheel that keeps spinning bringing relief and response to the most vulnerable
Collective efforts have left footprints stretching from Mumbai across India as volunteers and partners who supported migrant families, people stuck on the road and daily wage earners to reach home continue to reach families and children.
Stephanie Raison
2020...
We all saw the photographs in the media, and we heard some of the stories. A mass of people, many wearing only chappals on their feet, walking for hours under the sun, some carrying children, and sometimes not even knowing if they were going in the right direction.
Many of us watched this unfold via the small screen of our phone, enclosed by our four walls Tweeting Stay Home, Stay Safe. For millions though those walls soon collapsed and some of the hardest hit were in India’s financial capital, Mumbai.
After almost two months of the nation-wide lockdown to prevent the spread of COVID-19, more than 1,200,000 migrant workers who without daily wage jobs were unable to pay their rents in Mumbai. Without anywhere safe to stay they were heading home by train, bus, truck and often just on foot. Approximately 30,000- 40,000 migrants were leaving Mumbai daily.
Even at 10:30 p.m. messages continued to ping on the phones of development workers across Maharashtra. A powerful movement was being set in motion.
We at Hungry Wheels acted as catalysts and created JEEVAN RATH and continued to contributed as mobility partners too with some 55 organizations from across the Maharashtra State that had collectively decided that they were going to do something, together with one goal – to help those most in need through Jeevan Rath - relief on wheels with Hungry Wheels.

Jeevan Rath_ Hungry Wheels Response to Covid19vikram sood
After almost two months of the nation-wide lockdown,
with no access to jobs, unable to pay rent and fearing
for their lives, more than 1,200,000 migrant workers in
Mumbai, are heading home - either by trains, buses,
trucks and most times by foot. Approximately 30,000-
40,000 migrants have been leaving Mumbai daily,
without food and water, in a desperate bid for
survival.
UNICEF would like to appreciate and recognize HUNGRY WHEELS for their dedication and for giving
Jeevan Rath the ability to help as many migrant populations as possible in Maharashtra.
It would further like to commend Hungry Wheels for coming up with the concept of Jeevan Rath, the name of the campaign, as well as contributing the vehicles necessary for making it happen. They were the catalysts that this
movement needed.

Brand Elasticity and Architecture by vikram soodvikram sood
In the field of brand management, ‘Brand Elasticity’ is the extent to which an existing or a new brand can be extended across sectors, products or services.
It is the way brands within a company's portfolio can be monetised without increasing branding or marketing costs.

The document proposes three new positioning strategies for dairy products from Amul to make them more contemporary and credible business propositions. The first strategy is to position Amul products as "Fuel for an Active Life" by focusing on their ability to provide energy. The second strategy is to position products as "Glow of Health" by emphasizing their health and beauty benefits. The third strategy suggests positioning products as sources of "Fun with Dairy" by making them enjoyable and playful.

Guidelines for Effective Data VisualizationUmmeSalmaM1
This PPT discuss about importance and need of data visualization, and its scope. Also sharing strong tips related to data visualization that helps to communicate the visual information effectively.
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
An All-Around Benchmark of the DBaaS MarketScyllaDB
The entire database market is moving towards Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS), resulting in a heterogeneous DBaaS landscape shaped by database vendors, cloud providers, and DBaaS brokers. This DBaaS landscape is rapidly evolving and the DBaaS products differ in their features but also their price and performance capabilities. In consequence, selecting the optimal DBaaS provider for the customer needs becomes a challenge, especially for performance-critical applications.
To enable an on-demand comparison of the DBaaS landscape we present the benchANT DBaaS Navigator, an open DBaaS comparison platform for management and deployment features, costs, and performance. The DBaaS Navigator is an open data platform that enables the comparison of over 20 DBaaS providers for the relational and NoSQL databases.

As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Keywords: AI, Containeres, Kubernetes, Cloud Native
