Simple Steps to Social Media Effectiveness—A @Midwest presentationBrian Huonker
Why is social media so important? More people are using social media through their mobile phones, computers, and tablets than talking, calling, emailing and texting. Do you find this surprising? I know I don’t. Some businesses have gone to the extent of allowing 30 minutes a day for their employees to use social media.
There’s a lot more to engaging in social media marketing than creating a few profiles and posting a few links. Without taking a measured approach to the situation, you’re not going to be able to make the most of what is a very powerful and influential strategy. There are thousands of other companies competing for social media users’ attention, so laying the right groundwork is crucial.

Personal Branding Through Social MediaEmma M. Byrd
“Personal Branding is what people say about you when you are not in the room.”
Everywhere you go, you leave behind a digital footprint, whether it’s intentional or not. These footprints add up and create an image of who you are, your online reputation. With 78% of recruiters searching our names and 63% checking our social media sites, it’s time to take a look at our own online reputation and that of our students as well.
As stated above, personal branding is how people perceive you. Now, traditionally this was only done by word of mouth and face-to-face interaction but in recent years we have quickly learned that social media can be a valuable tool in branding ourselves. This big goal here is to establish an impression of who you are and what you have to offer on the minds of others. The following PowerPoint discusses how to accomplish such a goal.

Proactive and results driven, I always seek to excel in what I do. As a leader, part of a team or individually, I tackle obstacles head on and value all those who are by my side to get the job done.
In the engineering field, I have worked on revamping a Natural Gas Cooling Unit, trained in thermal and vibrational predictive maintenance, am presently assisting in the elaboration of a Natural Gas Distribution Base and Thermoelectric Plant and am headed the pilot project implementation of virtual Natural Gas distribution to over 6000 residences in the interior of the state of Rio Grande do Norte (HDPE pipe grid, compression, storage, distribution, sales, maintenance).

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.
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.

Editor's Notes
What is a Digital Footprint? It is a trail of information that one leaves online. You could shop or comment in forums and it can be traced back to you. It is vital to be aware of digital footprints that you leave behind. This includes all of your information whether it is posted by your or someone else and it can be intentional or unintentional. Be aware of who you want to be online or how you want others to see you.
Leaving digital footprints happens in many ways, including:Websites and web merchants. When you sign up for a new social media site, or when you buy something, you may not realize that you are giving personal information to the people who manage those sites. That information is often shared, circulated, and sometimes sold. Facebook. You have many conversations on Facebook that you think that only your Friends can see. But your Facebook conversations are more public than you might realize, because it's quite natural to lose track of all the Friends you have allowed to have access to your conversations. Also, remember that anyone can copy and paste anything you say into an email that they send to others - or publish on Facebook. YouTube. Perhaps someone video recorded you at a party, and posted that on YouTube. Because it is posted on someone else's YouTube site, you don't have access to it and can't remove it. Google. And don't forget that Google reads your GMail to choose what advertisements you might like to see.
Others can quickly Google you to find out more about you. Be sure to Google yourself and see what you find. Is this the information you want to convey to the world? Would you be confused with someone else with the same name? Was there a clear path to the information you what others to find about you? What should you post? Be sure it is something that you would want anyone to see. If you can say it, then don’t post it. Once you post something online, it is almost impossible to take it back! Be sure to post articles, achievements, and other things that that will create a positive image of yourself.
How do you start a positive digital footprint? You should start with blogs and be sure they are within your interests. Search blogs to see if there are posts that match what you are looking for. Participate within blogs and be sure to share by commenting on those who have the same interests. Be sure to use your real name. This is a crucial step in being sure that you are Googled well and those who you want to find you, will. Start a Facebook page. This will get you started with networking/collorating with those who have similar interests. This is a great way to gain new information. Explore Twitter. You will be able to share updates and network with those who will give you great resources and additional help.
Accept your digital responsibility and take it to heart. When you create (or update) a social media profile keep in mind what you share publicly can reach people outside of those you directly connect with. Remember each social network offers a different experience, so know how you want to present or distinguish yourself.Be authentic – and remain true to who you are. Always remember that a big ego will tend to self-destruct in a big way. Be respectful. Disagreements don’t have to be nasty or hurtful. Carry yourself well. Allow your character to shine through and guide you.
Think about how you want to “show up” online before you share or engage in conversations. Remember that the Internet never forgets
How you appear online is the first impression other get of you. How do you want to be perceived? Are you proud about what sites and articles appear under your name in search engines? You should if you want to build a business or get a job.In order for people to find you online, you need to be consistent. Wherever you are online (personal blog, business website etc) you should have consistent names. If you start a website or blog under your full name, do the same for your social network profiles. Being consistent allows people to follow your digital tracks and not get confused. It also re-emphasises your brand when people see the same picture, name and positioning on every site.
On the Internet there are chances information getting leaked so be cautious. Listed are a few damage control steps: Delete any photos of you that might send the wrong message, Go through any photos (where you're tagged) and request that those you aren't comfortable sharing be removed, Set strict privacy measures for your personal sites so they aren't searchable and your profile picture cannot be seen.
When you are ready to build a positive online presence, consider the following: Make sure it's easy for people to find you. Can others Google you and find what they are looking for, Ensure what others find is a positive representation of who you are and what you represent, Provide information that is useful via social networks, this means linking to interesting articles on Facebook, tweeting about relevant and interacting with blogs or websites.
Post positive information on sites that will show up on the first 1-2 pages of a Google search. Comment on blogs related to your interests. Write your own blog. Post well-written, positive book reviews on Amazon.com (even better, review books related to your interests!). Create a professional profile, and build your contact list using professional networking sites such as LinkedIn. Google yourself to see what information and images others will see online about you. If negative information is online, remove it quickly. Unfortunately, once something’s online, even if you delete it, you cannot guarantee that it’s gone for good. Information and pictures can easily be copied. Take care to screen information and pictures before posting anything. Do not assume that Facebook, MySpace and similar sites are private. Network with those who have similar interests.• Create a positive online presence so when employers search the internet to learn about you, they see what a great candidate you are.
To maintain a online presence, one must use a combination of social tools such as Google Maps, Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Youtube, and Pinterest.
Blogging can establish and maintaining name recognition. Blogging is a quick way to respond to complaints and maintain positive focus. Reputation Management is the process of tracking actions and opinions, looking for positive and negative opinions, and removing negative opinions and converting them into positive ones. Try not to attack or try to obscure negative opinions. You should respond to negative postings with an apologetic attitude. Social media focuses on creating information that attracts attention and encourages readers to share content with their social networks.
Create a professional email address specifically for communicating with other professionals. Make sure you check it often or have it forwarded to and email you check. Limit the personal contact information you list online. Just an email address and phone number are enough. You do not need to include personal information or information pertaining to your family. Never provide your social security number, banking information or other personal details online. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is!
