Government document on NSA tool that collects 'nearly everything a user does on the internet' via the Guardian http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jul/31/nsa-top-secret-program-online-data
This document provides a job performance evaluation form for a cashier clerk. It includes sections for identifying employee information, rating performance factors, identifying employee strengths and areas for improvement, setting a performance improvement plan, and obtaining signatures to finalize the evaluation. The form lists over 15 common performance factors that are rated, along with definitions of performance rating levels. Additional pages provide examples of positive and negative phrases to use in evaluating different performance aspects such as attitude, creativity, decision-making, and others.
This performance review summarizes an employee's performance over a period of time. The employee meets expectations in most areas such as quality of work, communication, and judgment. However, their attendance and punctuality are rated as unsatisfactory. The supervisor identified attendance as a key issue and the employee will work to improve timeliness through a performance improvement plan with specific activities and completion dates.
This document provides links to free resources for performance reviews, including phrases and samples. It discusses five areas that performance reviews may cover: attendance, attitude, communication, cooperation, and creativity/innovation. For each area, it provides positive and negative examples of phrases that could be used in a performance review. The overall document aims to provide managers with suggestions for wording to use when evaluating employees in common performance review categories.
In today’s threat landscape, cyber security isn't just an enterprise concern, nor is it entirely a government concern. To learn what that stance is and what security challenges government agencies are facing, we spoke to retired US Air Force Colonel Cedric Leighton.
What we carry with us in our everyday lives and interactions is just as important for our success as our technical skills and achievements.
This is what I carry with me. What do YOU carry?

The QIAseq NGS Portfolio for Cancer Research: Sample-to-Insight for AllQIAGEN
The document summarizes the QIAseq NGS portfolio from QIAGEN for cancer research and other applications. It describes several QIAseq kits that provide streamlined workflows for targeted DNA sequencing, whole genome sequencing, single-cell sequencing, cell-free DNA sequencing, and single-cell RNA sequencing. The kits are shown to provide high library conversion rates even from low input DNA amounts down to 10 pg, with uniform coverage and low GC bias.

NGS technologies - platforms and applicationsAGRF_Ltd
This document summarizes several next-generation sequencing platforms and applications. It describes the workflows and chemistries of 454, Illumina, SOLiD, and Ion Torrent platforms. These platforms have significantly reduced the cost of sequencing compared to Sanger sequencing. Common applications include whole genome sequencing, RNA sequencing, sequence capture, and amplicon sequencing. Library preparation requires fragmentation of DNA or RNA, addition of adapters, and amplification prior to sequencing.
The document discusses planning and managing projects in Microsoft Project 2010. It covers project management terminology and the five process groups of initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing a project. It also explains how to use various views and functions in Project 2010, including entering tasks, setting timescales, and printing projects.

The field of next-generation sequencing (NGS) has been experiencing explosive growth over the past several years and shows little sign of slowing down. The increasing capabilities and dramatically lowered costs have expanded NGS's reach beyond that of the human genome into nearly every corner of biological research. An overview of the platforms on the market today, including an assessment of their relative strengths and weaknesses, will be presented. The presentation will conclude with a peek into where the technology is going and what will be available in the future.
1. The document discusses next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms and focuses on the Illumina Genome Analyzer IIx.
2. The Illumina GAIIx allows for high throughput sequencing through bridge-PCR amplification on a solid surface and sequencing by synthesis using reversible terminators.
3. The document provides information on the applications, sequencing chemistry, advantages, and limitations of the Illumina GAIIx platform for NGS.
Next-generation sequencing technologies have rapidly advanced since 2005. Key developments include massively parallel sequencing reactions that enabled sequencing of entire human genomes for less than $1,000 by 2015. While Illumina dominates the market, other platforms like Ion Torrent and PacBio are increasing capabilities. Routine human whole genome sequencing is now used in research and medicine, enabling new opportunities like liquid biopsies and single-cell analysis. However, data storage and analysis remain challenges due to the large volumes of sequencing data.
This document provides an overview and comparison of popular next-generation sequencing platforms. It discusses the common sequencing pipeline including library preparation, massively parallel sequencing, and bioinformatics analysis. Popular platforms like Roche 454, Illumina, and SOLiD are described in detail focusing on their specific sequencing chemistries and performance characteristics. Newer third-generation platforms such as Ion Torrent, PacBio, and Oxford Nanopore are also introduced. A wide range of NGS applications from whole genome sequencing to RNA-seq are outlined.
The document discusses the author's heroes which include Seth Godin, Hugh Macleod, and Gary Vaynerchuk. It shares quotes and lessons from these heroes about working hard, doing what you love, stopping wasting time, being remarkable, and leaving behind a legacy. The author is inspired by books and believes heroes can reveal a lot about a person. The document encourages the reader to know where they are going, do remarkable work, and make an impact.
This document provides an introduction to next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies.

Apache cassandra & apache spark for time series dataPatrick McFadin
Apache Cassandra is a distributed database that stores time series data in a partitioned and ordered format. Apache Spark can efficiently query this Cassandra data using Resilient Distributed Datasets (RDDs) and perform analytics like aggregations. For example, weather station data stored sequentially in Cassandra by time can be aggregated into daily high and low temperatures with Spark and written back to a roll-up Cassandra table.
The document discusses zero budget marketing strategies for startups to get their first customers. It recommends starting by making a list of all professional contacts and asking them for introductions to potential customers. The key is converting these leads by focusing on making the first customer happy. Once that first paying customer is acquired, the strategy is to get referrals from them and continue reaching out to contacts to achieve the initial goal of 10-15 paying customers through word-of-mouth and relationship building before exploring other marketing methods that require a budget.
