Brightcove PLAY: User Generated ContentSteve Hulford
Steve Hulford of Filemobile discusses strategies for using user generated content (UGC) in online video. UGC provides free content, drives social media engagement and search engine optimization. Popular uses of UGC include contests, communities, and citizen journalism. While commenting and voting have high participation rates, video has much lower participation at 3% but offers significant viewing time on sites. Case studies show how social activities from UGC can drive referral traffic and 34.5% of visits to one site. Tips for getting more user video include giving tasks, offering experiential prizes, curating Facebook networks, and promoting top content. Filemobile provides pre-built applications that facilitate UGC programs using Brightcove.

Postgres has long been a database that easily scales vertically. It has also supported durable and reliable binary replication.
In the last two years, work on HA, clustering and extensions to our MVCC system has produced clustering features that help Postgres efficiently scale across many smaller systems.
This talk will start with a demo of the latest Postgres replication features. Then, we'll walk through open source and commercially-supported stacks that supporting the most demanding applications backed by Postgres.
In version 9.1, Postgres added streaming and synchronous replication that can be configured in about 5 steps. In 9.2 (to be released in 2012), we're adding cascaded replication and optimizations for common developer requests.
These features set the stage for a fast, efficient and distributed SQL cluster -- one that has configurable durability, is easy to administer and supported by "cloud" and virtualization vendors.

The document discusses educational fair use and copyright. It explains that all creative works are protected by copyright by default. For educational purposes, one must consider the purpose, nature, amount, and effect of using a copyrighted work without permission. The checklist provided helps determine if educational use of a work without permission would be considered fair use based on these factors. The document also discusses using Creative Commons licenses to specify how others can use and share one's own creative works while still maintaining certain usage rights and protections from infringement.
Educational Fair Use allows educators to use copyrighted materials without permission for educational purposes. There are four factors that determine if a use falls under fair use: nature of use, nature of work, extent of use, and economic effects. Creative Commons licenses allow creators to choose how their works can be shared and used, from restrictive to commercial use. Educators are encouraged to make use of fair use and Creative Commons licensed materials to incorporate multimedia into their classrooms.

This document provides guidance for educators on using media and technology in the classroom in a legal way. It explains that educators are not fully utilizing technology due to unclear laws around fair use and lack of knowledge about how to implement it. However, media is a major part of students' lives and important for preparing them for careers. The document recommends using resources like Creative Commons and Flickr to find media like photos, videos and music that can be legally used in classrooms. Educators are told to only use as much of a work as needed and give proper credit to the creator. With these best practices, educators can enhance their curriculum without legal issues by drawing from the wealth of resources available.

Valuable insights have been gained through our analysis of OJP data, including LMIC research lead
Suzanne Spiteri’s recent report on improving the quality and accessibility of job postings to reduce employment barriers for neurodivergent people.
Decoding job postings: Improving accessibility for neurodivergent job seekers
Improving the quality and accessibility of job postings is one way to reduce employment barriers for neurodivergent people.
Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
