The Social Data Revolution - 5 Practical Tips to Make it Real (AMA MarketMix ...Adam Schoenfeld
This document discusses the social data revolution and provides practical tips for data-driven marketing. It notes that social media usage is growing rapidly, generating huge amounts of user data. However, many companies are not effectively using this data in their marketing. The document advocates starting with clear business goals and then defining specific data goals to measure success. It recommends collecting, understanding, and sharing relevant practical data with stakeholders. Some tips include focusing on useful "little data" rather than all possible data, and going beyond buzzwords to map real data needs. The overall message is that marketers should make better use of social data to inform decisions and optimize marketing performance.
Point quarter sampling is a method used to estimate the relative frequency and basal area of trees in a forest. It involves dividing the area around a sampling point into four quarters and recording tree data in each quarter, such as the tree species and its diameter, to calculate the proportion of the forest made up of different species and the total area covered by tree trunks.

This document discusses significant digits and how to properly express calculated numbers using them. It defines significant figures as how well a measurement was taken, and significant digits as how to express a calculated answer accounting for significant figures. The key rules are:
- When multiplying or dividing, the answer should have the same number of significant digits as the factor with the least significant digits.
- When adding or subtracting, the answer should have the same number of decimal places as the number with the least decimal places.
- Trailing zeros and zeros between numbers are significant, leading zeros are placeholders.
The document provides examples of applying these rules to calculated problems and expressions.
This document defines key geology and mining terms including: the layers of the Earth, types of rocks formed by heat and pressure, plate tectonics, magma/lava, depletion time for mineral resources, types of mining including subsurface, surface, strip and open pit mining, and issues with mining such as resource depletion and environmental damage.
A chemical equation is a symbolic representation of a chemical reaction that balances the reactants and products to show the states of matter. Chemical equations can be classified into different types of reactions such as synthesis, decomposition, single displacement, double displacement, and combustion. Solubility rules determine whether combining chemicals will form an insoluble precipitate.
Community ecology examines the distribution, abundance, and interactions between populations within an ecosystem. It studies patterns such as species richness, equitability, productivity, and food web structure, as well as processes like predator-prey dynamics, succession, and community assembly. These patterns and processes are analyzed across space and time at different scales. Key aspects include predator-prey relationships, species richness, productivity, and food webs.
Social Media Competitive Analysis: How to Test Content Without Testing (#SMX ...Adam Schoenfeld
Competitive analysis can help your optimize your social media content without the challenges and risks of traditional testing. In social media, there is a goldmine of public data about your competitors that you can analyze to inform your own strategy, tactics, and content tests.
My slides from #SMX Social panel #21B.
The document provides an overview of how living things are classified, beginning with the largest groupings (kingdoms) and becoming more specific down to genus and species levels. It discusses key characteristics used to classify organisms, such as cell structure, reproduction methods, feeding behaviors, etc. Example organisms are provided for different kingdoms including Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia. Within Animalia, invertebrate and vertebrate phyla are described along with characteristics used to distinguish them.
Social Media For Business: 31 Stats and AnecdotesAdam Schoenfeld
Social media spending is expected to increase significantly between 2008-2014, with a compound annual growth rate of 34%. This level of growth outpaces other interactive marketing categories. Most marketers plan to increase or maintain their social media budgets in 2010. Many large companies have significantly increased their social media presence and budgets, including Pepsi, Best Buy, Comcast, and Dell. Social media is also becoming more widely used by non-profits, small businesses, and across both B2B and B2C industries.
The document discusses the legal rights of conscious computers. It defines key terms like consciousness, computers, and proposes new terms like "bemes" and "transbemanism". The document argues that conscious computers should be granted legal rights and protections based on their ability to demonstrate consciousness, comply with social rules, and have a shared identity defined by "bemes" rather than genes or DNA. It suggests a new classification of "transbeman" that includes both humans and conscious computers as a unified species defined by shared thought patterns and values rather than physical form.

Emerging Research and Technology for Life Hacking/ Brain TrainingSharpBrains
ETech 2009 session: Life hacking. Brain training. They are one and the same. The brain’s frontal lobes enable our goal-oriented behavior, supporting “executive functions,” such as decision-making, attention, emotional self-regulation, goal-setting, and working memory. These functions can be enhanced with targeted practice – such as life hacking. This session will provide an overview of the cognitive neuroscience underpinning life hacking, and review the state-of-the-art of non-invasive tools for brain training: neurofeedback, biofeedback, software applications, cognitive simulations, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, and plain-old meditation.
This document discusses brain-controlled artificial legs. It describes how signals from the brain are captured using electroencephalography electrodes on the scalp. The brain signals are amplified, converted to digital, and then processed to identify patterns that correlate to intended movements. The digital signals are sent to a microcontroller in the artificial leg that controls actuators to implement movements like walking or running based on the wearer's thoughts. This system would help those who have lost their legs to control an artificial leg using only their brain signals.

This document discusses the management of two different insect bites:
1) A black widow spider bite may cause painful muscle cramps that spread from the bite site. Medical treatment with analgesics and muscle relaxants is usually required to manage symptoms.
2) A mosquito bite typically causes minor itching, swelling, and redness around the bite site. No medication is needed - applying hydrocortisone cream can help with itching and discomfort. Monitoring for signs of infection is sufficient management.
A New Model: Advancing Organizational Security Through Peacebuilding-1st draftMichele Chubirka
Why is the security industry so full of fail? We spend millions of dollars on firewalls, IPS, IDS, DLP, professional penetration tests and assessments, and vulnerability and compliance tools, and at the end of the day, the weakest link is the user and his or her inability to make the right choices. It's enough to make a security engineer cry.
The one thing you can depend upon in an enterprise is that many of your users, even with training, will still make the wrong choices. They will violate BYOD restrictions, click on links they shouldn't, respond to phishing scams, open documents without thinking, post too much information on Twitter and Facebook, use their pet's name as passwords, etc. But what if this isn't because users hate us or are too stupid? What if all our ignored policies and procedures regarding the best security practices have more to do with our failure to understand modern neuroscience and the human mind's resistance to change?
Humans are wired to be emotional beings. Emotions influence most of our decisions, good and bad. In failing to understand how this is at the root of user non-compliance, no matter how much money we spend on expensive hardware and software, we will fail to achieve the goal of good organizational security.
The document discusses different types of patterns that can be found in various domains:
- Biological patterns like DNA sequences that can indicate diseases if certain genes are repeated too many times.
- Visual patterns like those used in color blindness tests or hidden 3D images.
- Auditory patterns that can be recognized by musicians or certain sounds recognized by all.
- Multidimensional patterns across different senses like vision, sound, taste, smell and touch.

Multitasking: How brain works on different tasksMujahid Hussain
The document discusses how the brain works and processes information. It states that the brain contains billions of nerve cells arranged in patterns that coordinate thought, emotion, behavior, movement, vision and sensation. It also discusses that multitasking is impossible as the brain can only focus on one task at a time. The document provides examples of how the brain codes information and transmits it from one region to another. It also discusses how computer processing works much faster than the human brain at framing information. Further, it talks about how the brain stores memories and information when we learn or experience something and how we can improve our speaking skills by listening to English speakers.
