This document proposes developing music tourism in Beijing to address issues in its tourism industry. It outlines Beijing's history and culture as a political and economic center of China. Currently, Beijing struggles with lack of novelty and heritage destruction from urbanization. The document suggests music tourism as a solution, noting music's power to communicate across cultures and enhance travel experiences. It analyzes successful models in Austin and Nashville that consolidate music resources. Beijing has over 280 music venues, performances, and sites that could support music tourism. A marketing plan is outlined to integrate Beijing's music resources, conduct research, and promote the city as a music destination through online and offline partnerships between tourism and music organizations.
There are two main types of historic designations: local historic districts and listings in the National Register of Historic Places. Local historic districts are designated by local ordinance to recognize and protect historically significant areas. The National Register is a federal list that recognizes historic significance but does not regulate private property owners. Both provide recognition of historic resources and can offer benefits like tax credits, but only local historic districts regulate changes to properties.
The document discusses interpretation plans and projects for cultural heritage sites. It defines interpretation as communicating ideas and feelings to help people understand and appreciate their world. An interpretation plan is a long-term strategy that ensures the significance of a place can be communicated. It involves researching stories, themes, and links to objects. Interpretation projects are usually identified in an interpretation plan and can include signage, guided tours, reenactments, artworks, and multimedia. Grants are available from various sources to fund interpretation plans and projects.

I computer sono ormai diventati uno strumento indispensabile per lo svolgimento di qualsiasi attività umana, professionale o sociale che sia. La brutta notizia è che le nostre informazioni, e tutti i nostri dati, vengono veicolati da sistemi informatici di cui ignoriamo la struttura. Cioè, non ci è dato a sapere come trattano i nostri contenuti, perché sono chiusi e inaccessibili nelle loro funzionalità più nascoste.
È evidente la potenziale pericolosità di affidare ciecamente i propri dati a sistemi che non siamo in grado di controllare. I sistemi basati su software a codice sorgente aperto eliminano questo rischio e consentono, di converso, di conoscere esattamente cosa succede alle cose che scriviamo e trasmettiamo.
Con il passaggio dagli atomi ai bit si è aperta una nuova era. Il nuovo paradigma non riguarda solo i computer, ma interagisce profondamente con le nostre abitudini e i nostri stili di vita.

Finally, it briefly outlines different levels of software support and how client self-assist is evolving to provide more automated support capabilities.
The document outlines 10 qualities of an ideal future marketing researcher: having a passion to improve, challenging conventions, caring about raw data, delivering unique analyses, focusing on detail, prioritizing customer experiences, believing in teamwork, making the industry more appealing, maintaining an open mind, and drawing inspiration from various sources. It encourages those with these traits to apply for open positions at the company by visiting the provided website or contacting them directly.
This document discusses traditional agricultural practices in developing countries and introduces permaculture as a sustainable alternative. It notes issues with traditional practices like burning, over-sweeping, and poor water management which can cause hard pan, erosion, flooding and nutrient loss. Permaculture is then defined as the design of systems that have the diversity, stability and resilience of natural ecosystems. It promotes thoughtful planning that considers people's needs as well as soil, water, sun, shade, wind and plant growth to create self-sustaining "guilds" or groups of plants that support each other.
ThesisXSiena: The Content-Based Publish/Subscribe SystemZbigniew Jerzak
Just as packet switched networks constituted a major breakthrough in our
perception of the information exchange in computer networks so have the
decoupling properties of publish/subscribe systems revolutionized the way
we look at networking in the context of large scale distributed systems. The
decoupling of the components of publish/subscribe systems in time, space and
synchronization has created an appealing platform for the asynchronous information
exchange among anonymous information producers and consumers.
Moreover, the content-based nature of publish/subscribe systems provides a
great degree of flexibility and expressiveness as far as construction of data
flows is considered.
However, a number of challenges and not yet addressed issued still exists in the
area of the publish/subscribe systems. One active area of research is directed
toward the problem of the ecient content delivery in the content-based publish
/subscribe networks. Routing of the information based on the information
itself, instead of the explicit source and destination addresses poses challenges
as far as eciency and processing times are concerned. Simultaneously, due
to their decoupled nature, publish/subscribe systems introduce new challenges
with respect to issues related to dependability and fail-awareness.
This thesis seeks to advance the field of research in both directions. First it
shows the design and implementation of routing algorithms based on the end-toend
systems design principle. Proposed routing algorithms obsolete the need to
perform content-based routing within the publish/subscribe network, pushing
this task to the edge of the system. Moreover, this thesis presents a fail-aware
approach towards construction of the content-based publish/subscribe system
along with its application to the creation of the soft state publish/subscribe
system. A soft state publish/subscribe system exposes the self stabilizing
behavior as far as transient timing, link and node failures are concerned. The
result of this thesis is a family of the XSiena content-based publish/subscribe
systems, implementing the proposed concepts and algorithms. The family
of the XSiena content-based publish/subscribe systems has been a subject to
rigorous evaluation, which confirms the claims made in this thesis.
In this paper we present a wide area distributed
system using a content-based publish/subscribe communication middleware
which can deterministically detect and report failures with respect to
timely message delivery and message omission. Our approach does not require
external clock synchronization nor does it impose any constraints on the
publish/subscribe middleware. We show that our system performs better and is
safer than when using NTP for external clock synchronization. We provide a
proof of concept implementation and present results of experiments carried
out in the PlanetLab environment.
I did a Pecha Kucha in Second Life and then did a Pecha Kucha about doing a Pecha Kucha in Second Life in real life. That's a lot of Pecha Kuchas.
My approach was to describe a class project. Students are told they are world reporters and have to go somewhere in the world. When they return they will give us a presentation on w...hat they saw. In this particular assignment they need to tell us in 10 slides, each timed for 20 seconds, what they were thinking when they took the shot.
The next part of the presentation was showing how this could be done in a virtual world where students could share with other people from around the world. I described Cypris Chat and Cypris Society as well. It turned out to be quite entertaining I think.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Editor's Notes
Thank you very much. The City of St. Catharines has been a member of the Creative City Network of Canada since 2002, and at my first CCNC conference I was confronted with this notion of cultural asset mapping. As time went by, I started to have a better grasp on what it was, and to appreciate its value.
