An Assessment of Nicotine Levels on Office Surfaces Before and After Use of E...Fontem Ventures
Using the closed or open system e-cigarette products tested in this study did not lead to a measurable increase in nicotine levels on the surfaces analysed. This is consistent with previous reports that e-cigarette users exhale negligible levels of nicotine in to ambient air which may be attributable to the high retention rate of nicotine in the user’s body. Moreover, NNK (a general marker for TSNAs could not be detected on the surfaces analysed at each test phase.
Daniel is a screenplay about a ten-year-old boy named Daniel, who, in 1960, runs away from home to be with his best friend, Lisa. Lisa and her mother run away from home to be free of her abusive father. Daniel wants to be by her side, so he leaves New York and spends the next ten years in Georgia looking for her. He doesn't find her; he finds music and a hard life. When Daniel returns home, he finds a place quite different from the one he left. He also finds Lisa, who had, after only a year of living in Atlanta, returned to New York to live with her father because her mother unexpectedly passed away. In this screenplay we are introduced to the people who have an effect on Daniel as he grows physically, mentally, and emotionally; people such as, his loving father, Steve, his hateful mother, Lacy, his caring therapist, Dr. Terry, his best friend, Lisa, his friends John and Jen, and the man he spends ten years with - in Georgia - a black french man named, Black Jeffrey. This is a drama, yes, but it is still a fun piece.
Chuck Brooks Profile: on Homeland Security, Cybersecurity, Emerging Technolog...Chuck Brooks
From LinkedIn's Marketing Blog: Chuck Brooks – Security Voice and “Government Relations and Marketing Executive, Thought Leader”
Chuck’s varied security experience is evident in what he publishes. From aviation to public sector, government to science, his posts take on the multifaceted aspects of cyber security as it relates to industries/verticals, homeland issues and next-gen technology. Since he’s keen on variety, with formats ranging from expert Q&As to content roundups, to non-tech posts associated with topics/verticals he’s covered, his perspective truly stands out.
Tech marketer takeaways: Chuck focuses core content on security, but isn’t afraid to include content tangentially related to core subject matter (e.g. a post focused on mastering the art of influence in Washington, D.C.) which incorporates fresh/unexpected content to help keep readers interested and foster conversation.

In today's economy, creating a business is mostly dependent on having a strong team, a valid business problem, and the right tools to research, create, test, and iterate for market validation and user-centered design.
Presenter: Christian Bonilla
Product managers overwhelmingly reported to use that not having time for strategy or proper market validation as their #1 problem. As product managers it’s our job to make sure we're building the right product, but many (possibly a majority) of us don’t think we’re doing that. We'll discuss the root causes of the problem and how PMs can enforce market validation in their organizations when prioritizing new features and products in the roadmap.
Christian is the founder of UserMuse, a market research service for product managers and marketers that launched in March 2017. Before founding UserMuse, he was the Director of SaaS Product Management at Resonate, a consumer intelligence and audience measurement firm. He writes regularly for Mind the Product, Fast Company and other publications and is an unabashed Quora addict.
Despite $ billions spent understanding the market, product managers in B2B software don't know what to build most of the time. Here's how you can do better as a product manager and leader.

Bots- the Next UI Revolution - Adam Stephensen
Bots are the new UI frontier. Siri, Google Assistant and Alexa started the trend, but no-UI is the future of UI. Users are going to expect to be able to have conversations with companies and organisations in the client that they have on hand. Don't believe me? Gartner predicts that by 2020 30% of HTTP requests will be via bots.
In this session, we will explore how the Microsoft Bot Framework makes it easy to build and connect intelligent bots to interact with users and services. Take your existing applications, your FAQ or a great new idea you have and build a bot that will run from your website or from Cortana, Skype, a phone call, text message, Teams, Slack, Facebook Messenger, Skype for Business and more.
If you missed the mobile revolution - why not lead in the bot wars?

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.
Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

3. “Your goal … is to make something users love… This is
critical – think about the really successful companies of
today. They all started with a product that their early
users loved so much they told other people about it.
If you fail to do this, you will fail. If you deceive yourself
and think your users love your product when they don’t,
you will still fail.”
