Gave a talk at StartCon about the future of Growth. I touch on viral marketing / referral marketing, fake news and social media, and marketplaces. Finally, the slides go through future technology platforms and how things might evolve there.
Each technological age has been marked by a shift in how the industrial platform enables companies to rethink their business processes and create wealth. In the talk I argue that we are limiting our view of what this next industrial/digital age can offer because of how we read, measure and through that perceive the world (how we cherry pick data). Companies are locked in metrics and quantitative measures, data that can fit into a spreadsheet. And by that they see the digital transformation merely as an efficiency tool to the fossil fuel age. But we need to stretch further…

When it's time to give your design a new dimension, E3 Panels offer the flexibility and character you need. Aluminum Composite Panels (ACP) are considered one of the most durable decorative surface materials available and boast enhanced performance. It is produced by sandwiching layers of aluminum foil and LDPE and fusing them together under intense heat and pressure. The resulting product is strong, waterproof & available in a diverse range of decors to create a contemporary cost-effective rainscreen facade.
ACP sheets have revolutionized the world of architecture and design, offering a perfect blend of strength, versatility, and aesthetic appeal. Their impact on modern buildings is undeniable, as they continue to redefine facades, interiors, and signage. As architects and designers seek innovative solutions, E3 ACP sheets provide endless possibilities to create structures that inspire and stand the test of time. With sustainability and safety considerations in mind, the future of ACP sheets looks promising as they continue to shape the skyline of our cities.
ACP sheets find applications in exterior cladding, façades, signage, interior partitions, and other architectural and design elements. The panels are low maintenance due to their resistance to rot, rust, and corrosion and are strong enough to withstand any weather condition. They also have the best-suited strength-to-weight ratio and transformation capacity for curves, corners, and unusually shaped facades.
E3 anti-scratch ACP sheet refers to an aluminum composite panel (ACP) designed and manufactured with a special surface coating to resist scratching and maintain its appearance over time. These ACP sheets are ideal for applications where the panel might be subjected to regular handling, exposure to abrasive elements, or potential impacts that could lead to scratches and surface damage.
The anti-scratch properties are achieved by applying a protective coating on the outer surface of the ACP sheet. This coating provides a robust and durable barrier against various abrasions, including light scratches, scuffs, and marks caused by everyday interactions or environmental factors.
in Art of the Science V4 we learned of the Process of Assimilation which further develops the Product Line, and set a benchmark to prepare for it. But in this paper we develop the concepts about Assimilation starting with the 'Assimilart' application for small form Digital Products. The Other types of Assimilation will be further developed in V2. This Emulation is part of the Six Layer Glass Process.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

5. • ‘The reason we used
acrylic was that we
wanted a thicker,
stable easel to help
support the pricing
information. The part
needed to have a
higher end look, and
as the acrylic would
relatively never
receive impacts or
stress, acrylic was
our best solution.”
6. • “It was important to
have crisp looking
parts for a good
looking display, with
clean, flame polished
edges.”
7. • “…shows a special part
created for this display,
and combines the upper
end look we want from
acrylic,”
8. • “This example uses a
bead-blasted clear
acrylic to help provide
3 items… 1)
showcase the Geek
brand, 2) provide
privacy for the
technician behind the
wall, and 3) allow the
technician to have
visibility to the sales
floor.”
9. Wide Range of End Markets

10. Two basic types of Acrylic Sheet
• Cell cast (also continuous cast)
Filling liquid MMA into a glass ‘cell’ with vinyl spacers
used to create thickness dimension
• Melt Calendared
Manufacturing process similar to extrusion, however
the calendaring process allows for the minimization of
stress buildup prevalent with extrusion processes, and
increases the surface optical qualities.
