This is a presentation I gave at the annual meeting of the Society for Experimental Biology 2013 (http://www.sebiology.org/meetings/Valencia/Valencia.html). It contains lots of tips for scientists to use social media appropriately and efficiently. It also highlights examples of social media in academia and types of possible content.
There are lots of ways that you can use blogging platforms to share your expertise or experiences, so it is important to think strategically about what you want to achieve and how blogging can help you develop as a researcher.

Social Media For Educators - Personal, Professional and Classroom ConsiderationsMass Marketing Resources
Participants in this workshop will be introduced to three social media platforms – LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook. In the 2 hour hands-on training session designed for novice users, attendees will learn how social media can improve communication, help build and strengthen relationships and increase engagement with their audience.
Students will learn how to choose channels and HOW each platform may be used to integrate and share content.
They will also practice as follows:
LinkedIn: Participants will learn how to complete their profile using relevant keywords, titles and skills. They will learn how to post a status, include links to documents or URLs and share with other platforms and how to keep in front of their connections through periodic profile updates and status posts. They will build connections with each other and be able to organize contacts by applying tags. Attendees will pick two relevant groups (thought leaders in their area) to follow.
Twitter: Participants will learn how to tweet content in 140 characters or less, use URL shorteners like bt.ly, and attach photos. They will develop followers by adding each other and tweeting, retweeting and favoriting a message. They will learn how to group messages by using #hashtags and add followers to lists.
Facebook: Participants will learn how to establish levels of privacy for their individual profiles, how to add a cover images and find “friends”. If attendees will be establishing a group or organization page, they will learn how to post, share and mention content, upload images, link to URLS and monitor insights.

We often relate Domain-Driven Design with the content of Eric Evans' book; however even this book suggests looking outside for other patterns and inspirations: analysis patterns (Accounting, Finance), domain-oriented use of design patterns (the Flyweight pattern), established formalisms (e.g. monoids) and XP literature in particular (e.g. the patterns on the c2 wiki and OOPSLA papers).
The world has not stopped since the book either, and new ideas keep on emerging regularly. And you can share your own patterns as well.
In this session, through examples and code we'll go through some particularly important patterns which deserve to be in your tool belt. We'll also provide guidance on how best to use them (or not), at the right time and in the right context, and on how to train your colleagues on them!

19 Stress Points of Marketing AutomationDave Sutton
A Marketing Automation project represents a break with the status quo for most organizations. For some organizations, it may represent a dramatic, stressful, and potentially disruptive change. In fact, the Marketing Automation Journey represents a new learning curve for people in your organization (and it may be a steep curve for some of your marketers).
Here is the good news: It turns out that the stress points are very predictable and they can be proactively addressed to minimize their impacts. TopRight has identified the most common stress points associated with Marketing Automation projects and developed a diagnostic to help you reveal and remediate risks. Our goal here is to point out what creates the anxiety and then give you some ways to help different people on your team deal with it proactively so you can have better results.

5 ROOKIE MISTAKES you should ABSOLUTELY not makeFloown
We’re all human. And unfortunately that means that every now and then you forget to turn on your brain. Especially when you run a startup there’s the occasional gaffe that in retrospect seems absolutely embarrassing. HOW COULD WE BE SO STUPID?
For this one we had to dig quite deep into our memory. Since we’re running such a tight ship we could only muster up 5 rookie mistakes…
Nah, not even Team Floown is perfect. But as Barack Obama said: “You try to figure out how to be in the moment, make the best decision you can, know that you’re going to get a bunch of them right, but a bunch of times you’re also not going to get it exactly the way you want it.”
Meaning, don’t fret too long over all the small mistakes. You can have a bad morning, a bad afternoon, but when you keep focused and positive you might write the most genius code, design the most beautiful logo, or make the best decision in the evening. Just because you kept at it, and let loose the negativity of what was before.
Our rookie mistakes hopefully make you laugh. Put a smile on your face. And when you run an into a similar situation, hopefully you won’t make that same mistake. But more importantly, always remember to keep on moving. After five mistakes, the sixth thing you do might be the best thing you’ll ever do.

Successfully Using Online Social Networking to Engage Students and ColleaguesLiz Gross, Ph.D.
How many of us have created a Facebook Page or a Twitter account for our office, only to let it die out a few weeks later? To successfully use social networking sites, we need to stay engaged and have "friends," "fans" and "followers" who interact with us. This presentation demonstrates social networking best practices used by a professional in UW–Milwaukee University Housing and allows participants to explore how social networking can contribute to their own professional development.
This is a basic overview of several social media platforms as well as specific guidance for creating or improving the visibility of your research profile. Created for the Institute of Biodiversity, Animal Health & Comparative Medicine at the University of Glasgow.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
