Websites, blogs, email, social media—who has the time to keep up with all these digital tools? With something new coming out seemingly every day, it can seem impossible to stay up to date. Thankfully, it’s not necessary for churches to use every online communication tool. This session will walk you through building a communication plan for your church using only the tools you need.
Velocity EU 2014 — Offline-first web appsandrewsmatt
The upcoming HTML5 feature known as Service Worker is set to turn the web on its head, enabling websites to run without an internet connection and to load quickly even when the connection is bad.
But with that evolutionary step, web applications need to become more complex, and to handle the fact that their source code may remain on a device for much longer than a single session. Without the safety net of starting fresh every time the user hits a link, considerations such as memory management, data consistency, encapsulation and backwards compatibility now come into play. Front-end developers are suddenly fully-fledged software engineers! The web page is our app platform, and the browser our runtime.
The fastest byte is a byte not sent, so the fastest website is the website that doesn’t need to load anything. Step with me into a world of good hacks, unbeatable performance and smart, multivariate responsiveness, drawn from experience building web apps for the FT and The Economist.

Fruits and vegetables consumption contribute in human nutrition through
the provision of essential nutrients for growth and good health. However, farmers,
marketers, and consumers encounter major problems of keeping fresh commodities such
as Dwarf ger. marglobe Tomato fruits to increase their shelf life due to quick
degeneration and decomposition of the produce at storage. Demand in the consumption
of fresh fruits and vegetables increased across the world which comes with major
concern in storage of these perishables. The objective of the study was to develop
Charcoal Evaporative Cooler (CEC), and compare with House Hold Fridge (HHF) and
Control Sample of Dwarf ger. marglobe Tomato fruits grown in the Wa Municipality of
the Upper West Region of Ghana. A total of thirty six fruits without any bruises and
decay were used for the experiment. The tomato fruits were divided into three to
represent the treated and untreated samples. The respective weights of the fruits were
taken after natural air drying and monitored at Completely Randomized Design (CRD)
was the experimental design used with three replications. Data on weight, decay severity
and Colour changes of the produce were analyzed using MiniTab version 16 The results
obtained on percentage weight reduction of fresh tomato fruits stored in Charcoal
Evaporative Cooler House Hold Fridge and control temperature (CT) showed that, the
latter recorded the highest average weight loss of 15.93% compared with HHF 4.68%
and CEC 4.84% when the experiment was terminated. Storage for an experimental
period of ten (10) days. Twelve (12) fruits were stored in the Charcoal Evaporative
Cooler (CEC), twelve fruits were also stored in the House Hold Fridge (HHF) and twelve
fruits were left at room temperature as control. The results also indicated that the least
average colour of 4.5 was produced by fruits stored in Charcoal Evaporative cooler
compared with average values of 5.4 and 6.0 for house hold fridge and control sample
respectively. The trend on the decay severity demonstrated that the House Hold Fridge
which produced 0.3 decay could reduce decay better than Charcoal Evaporative Cooler
with 1.2 and Control sample with severity of 2.7 .The fact that the performance trend of
the experiment on the use of Charcoal Evaporative Cooler on storage of fresh tomatoes
could reduce decay, average weight, colour and maintain freshness of tomato fruits, it
was safely concluded that, adoption of Charcoal Evaporative Cooler for cooling and
extension of shelf life of tomato fruits at small scale and household levels for consumers
would be appropriate in Wa Municipality
Hult Impact Challenge - IBM Watson SeismicSandeep Vete
The Business Challenge: Put all the business knowledge and leadership skills we learned to the test with this seven-month group project to solve a real business problem in which my teammates and I devise a game-changing idea to solve an existing problem for a major corporation that really make a difference - not only to the MBA program but in future career and beyond.
The IBM 2015 Business Challenge
Background:
IBM has developed a supercomputer- “Watson” -which is capable of learning and adapting in the same way as humans. IBM calls this capability “cognitive computing an advanced form of Artificial Intelligence.
Watson gained fame by winning the U.S. quiz show and IBM CEO Ginni Rometty has made it a centerpiece of the company’s strategy going forward. Ms. Rometty is convinced that Watson and cognitive computing will transform how we live and do business. The power of Watson has already been put to use, transforming the way medical research and diagnosis is done for important disease areas.
The Challenge:
Create an actionable business idea showing how IBM could put their AI technology to use, and shape future product development strategies using AI systems like Watson.

Los muros paramétricos son una herramienta poderosa en el diseño arquitectónico que ofrece diversas ventajas, tanto en el proceso creativo como en la ejecución del proyecto.
El Real Convento de la Encarnación de Madrid, una joya arquitectónica y cultural fundada en 1611 por la reina Margarita de Austria, ha sido revitalizado gracias a una avanzada reconstrucción en 3D. Este convento, una maravilla del barroco madrileño, ha sido un pilar en la vida religiosa y cultural de la ciudad durante siglos. Su rica historia y su valor patrimonial han sido capturados en esta innovadora reconstrucción, diseñada para su exploración, una tecnología que combina la realidad virtual y aumentada para ofrecer una experiencia inmersiva y educativa.
La reconstrucción comenzó con una exhaustiva recopilación de datos históricos y arquitectónicos, incluyendo planos originales y fotografías de alta resolución. Estos recursos permitieron a los especialistas crear una réplica digital precisa del convento. Utilizando software de modelado avanzado, cada elemento arquitectónico y decorativo fue cuidadosamente recreado, desde los majestuosos muros exteriores hasta los intrincados detalles del interior, como los frescos y el retablo mayor.
El resultado es un modelo 3D que no solo respeta la integridad histórica y artística del convento, esto permite que un futuro los usuarios pueden explorar virtualmente el convento, navegando por sus pasillos, admirando su arte sacro y descubriendo detalles ocultos que, de otro modo, serían inaccesibles.
Esta reconstrucción no solo preserva la historia del Real Convento de la Encarnación, sino que la hace accesible a un público global, permitiendo a estudiantes, historiadores y amantes del arte experimentar la grandeza del convento desde cualquier lugar del mundo. Además, la implementación de tecnologías de realidad virtual y aumentada ofrece nuevas oportunidades para la educación y el turismo cultural, haciendo del convento un ejemplo brillante de cómo la tecnología puede ayudar a preservar y difundir el patrimonio histórico.
En resumen, la reconstrucción 3D del Real Convento de la Encarnación es un proyecto que combina el respeto por la historia con la innovación tecnológica, asegurando que este tesoro del barroco madrileño continúe inspirando y educando a futuras generaciones
