Successful transition

Let me begin by confessing the intent of this foreword right up front. My hope for Lloyd Reeb’s book, which you now hold, is that it will convince you of two things—the first is that the change-of-life season described as Halftime is nearly universal in the developed world and critical to Halftimers. The second is that the transition from success to significance as a central motive force in life’s second half is not at all dependent upon income and net worth.

Island parsing is a powerful technique for parsing with Augmented ~ a n s i t i o n Networks (ATNs) which was developed and successfully applied in the HWIM speech understanding project. The HWIM application grammar did not, however, exploit Woods' original full ATN specification. This paper describes an island parsing interpreter based on HWIM, but containing substantial and important extensions to enable it to interpret any grammar which conforms to that full specification of 1970.

The Rome ‘Declaration on Harmonisation’ of February 2003, states that: 4 ‘We in the donor community have been concerned with the growing evidence that, over time, the totality and wide variety of donor requirements for preparing, delivering and monitoring development assistance are generating unproductive transaction costs for, and drawing down the limited capacities of, partner countries’ and that ‘donor practices do not always fit well with national development priorities’. The EC will therefore play its part in promoting harmonisation of policies and practices.

A more developed agricultural sector enhances food security. This holds particularly true for SSA, a region with much agricultural potential yet affected by food crises. Agriculture in this region is often characterized by undercapitalization, low technology, poor market access, and underutilized or degraded land. These factors increase transaction costs that weaken the production and sale of agricultural commodities.

Greenplum’s SG Streaming™ technology ensures parallelism by “scattering” data from all source systems across hundreds or thousands of parallel streams that simultaneously flow to all Greenplum Database nodes (Figure 11). Performance scales with the number of Greenplum Database nodes, and the technology supports both large batch and continuous near-real-time loading patterns with negligible impact on concurrent database operations.

Haugeland (1998) eloquently describes the relation between mind and world as one of intimacy, a ‘commingling’ or ‘integralness’ of mind, body, and world. Cognition depends as much on aspects of the agent’s environment as on the agent’s inherent properties. Because it is the joint effect of these properties that control cognition, their contributions to individual cognitive processes cannot be considered one by one.

Consider that network and application firewalls, network and host Intrusion Detection/Preven- tion (IDS/IPS), access controls, sniffers, and Unified Threat Management systems (UTM)—all log security events that must be monitored. Every switch, router, load balancer, operating system, server, badge reader, custom or legacy application, and many other IT systems across the enter- prise, produce logs of security events, along with every new system to follow (such as virtual- ization). Most have their own log expression formats.

It is very important that students have the opportunity to practise new mathematics and to develop their understanding by applying new ideas and skills to new problems and new contexts. The main source of exercises for consolidation and practice is the text book. It is important to check that the examples in the exercises are graded from easy to difficult and that students don’t start with the hardest examples.

The Facebook newsfeeds we will see at the end of next year will look very different from the ones we see now. We will see the rise of bigger, bolder, more interactive – and intrusive – Facebook advertisements in 2013. It was only a matter of time before Facebook sought to monetize and justify its massive valuation. The drive for effective and revenue-generating advertising will draw on its powerful social ecosystem, pushing the creative formats and placements far away from the ads we see today.
