SXSW 2013: Show & Smell 2: Marketing Experiences Beyond the VisualTaylor Host
This document discusses how multi-sensory experiences are more effective than single sensory experiences. It provides examples of how different senses like smell, touch, taste and hearing can be stimulated and enhanced with new technologies. These sensory experiences have applications in branding, advertising and human-computer interfaces. The document advocates that non-visual cues can be powerful brand signals and new technologies allow blending the digital and physical world through our senses in novel ways.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
St. Andrew's Resources for Seniors System announces its new board members through 2014, including William Showalter from Sisters of Mercy Health System, David Breckenridge from the Moneta Group, Timothy McFarlin from Clark Law Firm, David Cissell who is retired from Monsanto, and Tammy Burton from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.

SITA UK is a recycling and waste management company that handles nearly 11 million tonnes of material annually, of which over 3 million tonnes are recycled and over 1 million tonnes are used for energy production. The company proposes to develop an energy from waste facility called Severnside, which would treat 400,000 tonnes per year of waste to produce 32 MW of electricity, enough to power 50,000 homes. The facility would be located for efficient transport of waste by road and rail, and near potential users of recovered energy. It would create 200 construction jobs and 50 long-term jobs. Energy from waste plays an essential role in a circular economy by recovering benefits from residual waste that cannot be reused or recycled.

- Harvey argues that in practice, neoliberal policies have mainly resulted in wealth redistribution to a smaller elite class, rather than generating broader prosperity.
The document discusses several topics related to globalization and capitalism including:
1) Why Britain was the center of industrialization - due to its naval power, cotton industry, and use of colonialism to extract raw materials like cotton through slave labor.
2) How cotton fueled industrialization - it was profitable, attracted investment, and machinery for processing it was cheap and promised quick returns.
3) Thomas Jefferson's innovations that impacted slavery and capitalism - including industrializing and dividing slave labor, recognizing the reproductive value of slaves, and using slaves as collateral.
