Can we measure Creativity, Design and Innovation? The case of México.Marco Ferruzca
This document discusses various frameworks for measuring creativity, design, and innovation in cities and countries. It provides an overview of indexes like the Global Creativity Index, Design, Creativity and Innovation Scoreboard, and International Design Scoreboard. These indexes use both quantitative indicators and qualitative factors to assess areas like technology, talent, tolerance, education, economic outputs, and design capabilities. The document also analyzes Mexico's performance in these indexes and discusses community-driven projects in Mexico that support creativity but may not be captured by existing measurement frameworks. It concludes that while creativity, design and innovation can be measured, the picture is incomplete and frameworks do not capture the full creative spirit of a city.

Overall, the Defendants argue that the NHL is a legitimate joint venture of its member clubs and is engaged in valid activities to produce and market the sport of hockey.

This document discusses distributed systems approaches like REST, SOA, and WS-* over time. It provides a historical perspective on distributed systems from 1951 to the present. It argues that REST, SOA, and WS-* each have merits and weaknesses, and that a combination of approaches is often best in practice. Hybrid systems are common, with WS-* often used inside the firewall and REST principles helping even there.

FSMU Presentation - What people are saying about restaurantsJason Falls
Conversational research analyzes open conversations online to gain insights about brands, topics, and consumer behavior. It differs from traditional surveys in that it looks at natural discussions rather than answering predetermined questions. The analysis identifies common topics, behavioral triggers, and sentiment toward brands. Insights found include that people prioritize good food over health claims, most online conversations are positive, customer service issues are common complaints, and topics like food quality and prices are regularly discussed across restaurant brands. Location-specific data can also provide insights about local communities.
