Sqord and Physical Activity in the Anchorage School District
Mouhcine Guettabi
Sqord is a wearable activity-tracking device made specifically for children. It couples the device with an online platform, where children can set up avatars and challenge one another as well as track their activity levels. Sqord awards points for various activities. Providence Alaska and the Anchorage School District have worked together to provide SQORD to teachers and students. The Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER) is studying whether using SQORD is helping children become more active. The principal investigator is Mouhcine Guettabi. This presentation is of preliminary findings from the first year of the study.

2015 Alaska's Construction Spending Forecast Presentation
N/A N/A
"Construction spending in Alaska in 2015 is expected to be strong in spite of the drop in the price of oil from more than $100 per barrel in the summer of 2014 to between $45 and $50 today. However, the longer the price stays low, the greater the risk that some projects will be cancelled or postponed. It is impossible to predict what will happen to the oil price, because world supply has outstripped demand. The price will stabilize, and perhaps begin to increase, only when the low price stimulates more demand and eliminates high cost production, a process that could take more than a year. Presented in Anchorage, AK on Jan 29, 2015, and in Fairbanks, AK on Jan 30, 2015."
