This document provides a review and outlook of asset allocation strategies for the first half of 2012 and beyond. Some key points:
- In Q1 markets surprised to the upside due to liquidity support from central banks, but the global context weakened since April as central bank balance sheets stopped expanding.
- The outlook is between a best and worst case - a deepening European crisis but risk has not become systemic. Rapid credible answers are needed from European leaders.
- Valuations remain compelling for equities over the long term if current risk levels are discounted. Preferred strategies include growing dividends and convertible bonds.
- A credible solution is needed in Europe to avoid investors losing hope as patience wears thin

Social Business in the Cloud: Achieving Measurable ResultsRawn Shah
As social technologies have evolved, they have increased in adoption across a wide spectrum of
businesses, industries, and geographies. Some organizations, usually with strong business and IT
alignment, are realizing that social technologies initiated for one business activity can spark innovative
uses in other areas. This insight creates motivation to widen the reach and adoption of these
investments. Unfortunately, this is not always the case; many organizations are still struggling with how
to justify social business investments in a way that reflects their actual business value. This inability to
quantify the business impact of social technology has become a key inhibitor to adoption.
Why Is Marketing Even More Important Now LinkedinChris Shallow
The document discusses how marketing has become even more important in today's globalized world. It notes that jobs can now be outsourced more easily to other countries, and skills like creativity, empathy and big picture thinking will be more valuable. Marketing requires both analytical and creative skills, making it a field that cannot be entirely automated or outsourced. The document argues that strong marketing will be crucial for companies and individuals to differentiate themselves and maintain their standard of living in this increasingly competitive environment.

Musings on the changing character of Britain's cultural landscape. It is a plea to the retail shed builders to look at themselves and begin to respect their potential customers. It is a warning to the potential customers of ASP-Host and Web Solutions. It is a plea to the Law Society to put the upholding of the law at the top of their agenda rather than the protection of their cartel. The presentation is amusing yet serious. If you like it, spread the word and pass it on. Thanks.
Twucwuc land is a new acronym for scamland. WULs have been around for a while. Fast-buck Britain and Buckfast Britain are the same place. An invoice reminder should be an invoice reminder and should never be post-dated. Take care on your journey.
The document discusses the benefits of meditation for reducing stress and anxiety. Regular meditation practice can help calm the mind and body by lowering heart rate and blood pressure. Making meditation a part of a daily routine, even if just 10-15 minutes per day, can have mental and physical health benefits over time by reducing stress levels and promoting relaxation.
An old article which I did for SAGT. This is the colour version. Slideshare doesn't recognise it as a document as it is wider than it is high. Double page spreads in documents don't exist according to Slideshare. Hmmm.
New sensor based Web Standards developments have punched a hole in the web that is letting the real world leak into the browser. The getUserMedia API now lets us access cameras and microphones and JSARToolkit and javascript based Natural Feature Tracking like the examples from ICG Graz University have shown that browsers can now be taught to perceive the world around them. Combine this with the <canvas> and WebGL and you have a real working model for a Web Standards based Augmented Reality.
On top of this we also have OGCs Sensor Web Enablement and new developments like the Sensor API and the rapid spread of networked sensors and wireless Arduino-ised devices. Massively distributed dynamic immersive visualisation is now the new structural form for the modern web.
This document discusses how technology, specifically apps and APIs, are driving innovation in a similar way that rock music was a driver of culture in previous generations. It notes that apps have transformed software delivery and that APIs have become essential components that apps are built on, similar to musical instruments being necessary for music. The document outlines Exicom's work in the app and API space and vision of transforming business through applications.
The state of the Twittersphere, February 2011Kathryn Corrick
The document provides an overview of Twitter usage statistics from February 2011. It finds that there were approximately 200 million registered Twitter accounts at the time, sending around 110 million tweets per day. Around 14 million accounts were daily active users. Entertainment topics like music, TV and films were most popular on Twitter for discussion. Sports was also a major topic, and London trending topics on the day indicated football was popular for discussion.
A collection of images of different landscapes in Scotland. This will probably always be a work in progress but my intention is to examine the families of rocks which make up the different terranes in Scotland and illustrate the characteristics of the resultant landscapes. This is the introduction. Teachers can pick and mix the slides to suit themselves or if you are an armchair geographer / geologist, then you can just put it to music and enjoy.
The document discusses several concepts related to cloud computing including:
- The evolving definition of cloud computing with 3 service models and 4 deployment models and 5 essential characteristics
- Diffusion of innovation theory and how new technologies are adopted over time through innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards
- The concept of ubiquity and how innovations progress from niche to mainstream as they become more established, standardized, and commoditized over time

The document discusses test-driven development (TDD) and provides guidance on how to implement TDD. It outlines the progression from manual testing to automated testing to test-first development. The benefits of TDD include less manual testing, faster feedback, safer code changes, and improved design. Good tests express intent, isolate areas under test, and provide clear failures. When starting TDD, automate tests for important features and bug-prone areas first, and use TDD for new features.
The document discusses designing e-learning and outlines six themes for 21st century learning: 1) personalize learning, 2) deliberately diversify, 3) put knowledge to work, 4) rethink roles, 5) continue to learn, and 6) connect with community. It emphasizes using technologies to support these themes, such as giving students personal choice in learning, supporting diversity, making learning authentic, having students and teachers create knowledge together, supporting ongoing learning and inquiry, and connecting with families and experts. The document advocates considering how to apply these themes when designing e-learning.
