The document proposes a "backward" or customer-centric approach to marketing called "DOG SHOT" which stands for Divide, Optimise, Gratify. It argues that companies should 1) treat each customer individually rather than in segments, 2) optimize messaging to customer needs rather than broadcasting features, and 3) gratify rather than just satisfy customers through rewards, communities and addressing needs. The approach aims to create customer evangelism through a memorable customer experience.
The progress in science and medicine in the recent years have helped to significantly increase life expectancy. ICT technologies - and the Wireless Body Sensor Networks (BSNs) in particular – play a central role at improving the quality of the current health-care systems and services, by integrating them in future "smart cities" eco-system. BSNs consist of wearable sensors applied to the human body for real-time continuous monitoring of physical activities and vital signs. Relevant BSNs application domains include prevention, early detection and monitoring of diseases, elderly assistance at home, fitness, gesture recognition, motor rehabilitation, cognitive and emotion recognition. Some research prototypes of BSN have been developed, but very few hit the market and no one has gained wide success. One of the reasons is that current prototypes are tightly coupled to specific applications and are not interoperable. So, to fully exploit their potential, the AD-PERSONAS project aims to develop an open platform for continuous and heterogeneous monitoring of assisted livings. Specifically, the project objectives include i) a Software distributed multi-layer architecture for efficient management of BSN-based smart-Health services, ii) energy-aware algorithms for the posture/movements recognition and vital signs monitoring, iii) a Biomedical distributed system based on Cloud computing technologies for remote 24/7 monitoring of critical patients. AD-PERSONAS can offer huge benefits to health-care providers and to the patients themselves, which could be monitored remotely through wearable non-invasive technologies so to save financial and human resources. The outcome, then, will be not only scientific but with economical and social impacts.

Facebook has made significant changes to how brands can engage with customers. The "Like" button is less important, and brands must provide compelling content to be part of meaningful customer conversations. Those with relevant content can better engage customers through new tools like user timelines and Facebook apps. Marketers face new challenges in consistently updating engaging content and interacting with customers in this changed environment.
QR codes are gaining popularity as a marketing tool. They allow companies to share information with consumers quickly through smartphones. While some still see them as a passing fad, usage of QR codes has grown over 600% in the last year. Major companies in India have started using QR codes in print advertising to link to websites, videos, and contests. If QR codes continue to be adopted and used creatively, they could become an integral part of brand marketing strategies.

Macrolides are a class of antibiotics that contain a macrocyclic lactone ring and attached sugars. The commonly used macrolides are erythromycin, clarithromycin, roxithromycin, and azithromycin. They act by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis by combining with the 50s ribosomal subunits and preventing translocation. Macrolides are bacteriostatic at low concentrations and bactericidal at high concentrations, with a narrow spectrum covering many gram-positive bacteria and some gram-negatives. Newer macrolides include roxithromycin, clarithromycin, azithromycin, and spiramicin.

Early learning content standards of OhioJean Smith
This document outlines early learning content standards for English language arts in Ohio. It discusses how language and literacy develop dynamically in young children.

The fiscal resources needed to operate public education in San Joaquin County are overseen by San Joaquin County Office of Education’s (SJCOE) Business Services. SJCOE
provides financial, budget, and payroll services to the County’s 14 school districts and SJCOE’s own programs. State law requires each county office of education to review
budgets and the overall fiscal solvency of local school districts. SJCOE’s Business Services ensures that districts will meet financial obligations now and for two upcoming years
by reviewing and approving budgets and interim financial reports. Through joint power agreements administered by SJCOE’s Business Services, schools are provided with
health benefits, workers’ compensation insurance, property and liability insurance, and technology. These volume agreements save school districts millions of dollars each year.
