PoliticIt - 1 PoliticIt In November 2011, students at the Huntsman School noticed that the political discussion surrounding the presidential race was evolving from previous elections, as politics shifted from exclusively mainstream media to include blogs, Facebook, and Twitter. But traditional political polling does not capture real-time activity; it is weeks behind what is actually happening. With backgrounds in Management Information Systems, Finance, and Entrepreneurship, these students utilized their Huntsman School education to create a new website called “Politicit”. Using neural network technology, the site gathers information about political candidates from social networks and mainstream media and uses it to give each candidate an “It” score, indicating how people feel about the candidate in real time. So far, the site predicts the poll results remarkably well long before they are published. In December, Politicit entered the Intel Innovators competition, and placed in the top 5. In the future, the team plans to expand the site to also cover state and local politics.

    Administration of Barack H. Obama, 2010 Remarks Honoring the 2009 Major League Soccer Champion Real Salt Lake June 4, 2010 Hello, everybody. Please have a seat. Well, welcome to the White House. And congratulations on winning your first MLS Cup championship and for bringing the State of Utah its first professional sports title in almost 40 years. That's a pretty big deal. You can give them a round of applause for that again. I want to acknowledge the Senator from the great State of Utah, Senator Bennett, who is here. He is incredibly proud of this team—too tall to play soccer. [Laughter] I want to congratulate Dave Checketts for his leadership and for dedicating his career to expanding the world of professional sports. And, of course, I want to congratulate the players and coaches from Real Salt Lake. I know that this team had a pretty unlikely journey to get here. You qualified for the playoffs on the last day of the season with a losing record. [Laughter] That's cutting it a little close, guys. [Laughter] You beat your biggest rival, took down the defending champions on your way to the title game. And with the cup on the line, you held two of the game's biggest stars scoreless in regulation and went on to win in a shootout, all of which goes to show that in Major League Soccer, there's no such thing as a foregone conclusion. Now, you did it because, in the words of Coach Kreis—and I have to say this is one of the rare coaches that I see in these events who I think might be able to still play—[laughter]—he looks very fit.

  • Least You Need to Know
    Accessibility Maintainers of WebLearn sites need to be aware of accessibility issues, for users with various types of impairment Why are accessibility issues important? Have you ever experienced problems such as Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI), sore eyes, headaches, back or shoulder aches from long term use of a computer? Are you perhaps colour blind, have a touch of dyslexia, or need magnification of the computer screen? Are you sensitive to screen flashing due to photo-sensitive epilepsy? It is not only major sensory impairments such as vision or hearing disabilities which impede people in their use of technology. In many cases, assistive/adaptive/access technology (AT) can be used to enable or facilitate the use, navigation, creation or completion of electronic materials (such as web pages, online forms, Internet services and products) that would be inaccessible by conventional means. Assistive technologies include screen readers (such as JAWS, ReadPlease, BrowseAloud) or screen enlargers (magnifiers), voice recognition systems, alternative input devices such as eye or head operated pointing devices. The Opera browser now includes voice-enabled shopping and booking systems and spoken commands to browse the web. What types of impairments need to be considered? It helps to classify types of impairments in order be able to address differing needs (AbilityNet (www.abilitynet.org.uk) • Vision – including blindness, partial sightedness, colour blindness and tunnel vision • Hearing – deaf and partial hearing • Headings are an absolute Mobility problems – RSI, problems with using hands or arms asset – you can key through • Cognitive, mental problems – including dyslexia, learning problems them by ‘arrowing down’ A quotation from a blind person browsing internet sites with the help of a screen reader: (using the down arrow on the keyboard) Holistic approach to web design Build your Content first (in a simple, linear layout), add styling on top of that (e.g.

  • Webaim Campus Training Session 2
    WebAIM Campus Training-Session 2 OK, another aspect of accessibility for users with low vision is ensuring that there is sufficient contrast between the text content and the background. This is something that impacts everybody. We all have difficulty reading content if there is insufficient contrast. It is important to keep in mind that ultimately the end user has control over the way they view your web content. They can change colors. They can invert contrast. They can enable high contrast to override your colors to view content in a way that works best for them. So keep that in mind. This is always something that they can do. That idea that we fully control the user experience-- we have to give that up. We have to give up that notion that we control what the user is going to see or what they're going to do. What we want to do instead is to enable a good experience. If the user comes and they customize, they adapt the content for their own needs, what we have provided still is going to work for them. To ensure that you provide sufficient contrast, WCAG does define this for you. They provide some measures. All you have to do is implement this very basic formula, and just put this in your memory banks and you'll be good. No, you don't want to be doing this complex math to determine if your content has sufficient contrast. You want to use tools like the WebAIM Contrast Checker. This is a tool that we've built.

Calendarul adună în cuprinsul său datele remarcabile ale anului 2017, aniversări, comemorări, evenimente istorice, care au fost selectate pe baza materialelor de referinţă existente în colecţiile bibliotecii noastre și on-line.

În realizarea calendarului am avut ca idee centrală raportarea cu prioritate la comunitatea ieșeană, prin actualizarea exemplelor date de personalități marcante ale literaturii, ştiinţei şi artei care au jucat un rol local, național sau universal, fapt dovedit și de produsul final, unde aceste trimiteri se constituie în majoritatea notelor cronologice, la care am adăugat și trimiteri la datele naționale și internaționale, pe baza criteriilor date de relevanța lor la nivelul domeniului în care au excelat și al notorietății, precum și al încadrării duratei la un număr cât mai rotund de ani, față de anul de referință 2017.
