The global toys market was valued at $73 billion in 2009 and $75 billion in 2010, with most toys over 70% manufactured in China. The document discusses toys market statistics such as value, expenses per child, target groups for toys made from materials like plastic, wood and synthetic materials, as well as market leaders and production sites in the international toys market.
Bram Wessel from Factor leads a Collaborative Design Workshop with students from UW's iSchool program. Hosted by ASIS&T UW Chapter. Students designed a locavore produce subscription app and service and presented their work to the rest of the participants.
This document provides suggestions for teaching library skills to middle school students using technology integration. It recommends using tools like Twitter, Tumblr, Inspiration/Kidspiration, iMovie, iTunes, YouTube, and websites on the Dewey Decimal System to engage students and teach skills aligned with the American Association of School Librarians' Standards for the 21st Century Learner. Examples given include creating an iMovie about using the library and learning the Dewey Decimal System through a rap song.
This document provides an overview of AngularJS, including what it is used for, its key components, and how those components work. It begins by explaining that AngularJS is a framework for building single-page applications where pages do not reload. It then outlines some of AngularJS's main components like directives, filters, data binding, views, controllers, scope, modules, and routing. The rest of the document provides more details on directives, filters, data binding, controllers, and routing as well as an overview of providers, factories, services, values, and constants in AngularJS.
The document discusses MongoDB, a document-oriented NoSQL database. It covers some key features of MongoDB including rich document queries, indexing for performance, replication for availability, auto-sharding for scalability, and geospatial indexing. It also provides MongoDB equivalents to SQL concepts and provides examples of CRUD operations and queries using aggregation, indexing, map-reduce, and replication sets.

The document discusses the international tourist market, providing statistics on its growth from 2009 to a forecast for 2011, showing a rise from 877 million to an estimated 980 million international tourists. It notes tourism accounts for 15% of world exports and is an important source of money. For Russia specifically, developing its tourism market is seen as very important for its future economic growth, as international tourism can generate significant revenue for the country.
What is an Enterprise Information Model? Bram Wessel
An enterprise information model is a set of taxonomies, metadata, content types, and relationships that define how information is organized across multiple business units, systems, channels, and workflows within an organization. While an information model already implicitly exists in any enterprise, intentionally developing one provides benefits like organizational alignment and treating information as a key corporate asset, whereas ignoring it risks inconsistencies. Successfully managing an enterprise information model requires long-term commitment, governance, and understanding each organization's unique business context.
This document summarizes a diploma thesis about tourism in the Stavropol region of Russia. In 3 sentences: The thesis defines tourism and its importance to the global economy. It analyzes the current tourist potential of the Stavropol region, including its distribution of resorts and investments. The author provides a vision for tourism development in the region by 2020, which would increase GDP 3 times through new tourism products and investments while improving population demographics and infrastructure.
Modeling in the Real World - at LavaCon2014 in Portland, ORBram Wessel
The document discusses modeling experiences in the real world. It uses the example of a persona, Julia, who gets interested in wine on a photography shoot. Her journey of learning about wine involves interacting with different companies and their digital and physical offerings. The speaker emphasizes the importance of understanding customer and business goals, modeling the end-to-end experience, and having the right information infrastructure and resources to deliver an integrated omni-channel experience across organizations.
This document provides an introduction to key accounting concepts including:
1) It defines business events, transactions, and accounting as the process of identifying, measuring, recording, and communicating financial information.
2) Accounting has three main branches - financial, cost, and management accounting.
3) The main objectives of accounting are to record transactions, ascertain profit/loss, assess financial position, and communicate financial results to users.
4) Key accounting terms are defined such as assets, liabilities, capital, and sales. Accounting information should be reliable, relevant, understandable and comparable.

Atomizer - Microcontent and the Future of IABram Wessel
Digital content experiences emerging in the next decade will look, feel, and be consumed very differently from those of today. As today’s “app and page” consumption paradigm gradually recedes, replaced by a much more immediate, fragmented, and continuous core experience, content management organizations face a point of consequence.
The demands of emerging digital experiences threaten to strain traditional enterprise content management approaches to the breaking point. Enterprise IA organizations will be forced to evolve to meet the complexity of this challenge by becoming increasingly granular in their content and information modeling. This shift will place heavy emphasis on the development of flexible information models containing rich secondary data to describe increasingly small, interoperable, and portable units of content.
Session Takeaways
Get in front of this paradigm shift before your organization gets buried in its own confusion. Learn what steps you can take as you begin to prepare your organization’s information model to accommodate the content and data demands of these rich new experiences. See how the discipline of Information Architecture is theoretically well-suited to meet this challenge, but must also adapt and evolve in the ways it is practiced on the ground.
This session will begin by demonstrating how the trend toward micro-content is unfolding, citing examples of how emerging digital experiences are straining the framework of traditional taxonomy, metadata, and attribution approaches. It will then describe how rich, sophisticated enterprise information models designed to accommodate these shifts can evolve to meet the demands of data-rich, microcontent-driven digital experiences, focusing on the first steps organizations can take to prepare.
Barack Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961 and attended Occidental College, Columbia University, and Harvard Law School. He worked as a lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School from 1991 to 2004. Obama served as an Illinois State Senator from 1997 to 2004 and a U.S. Senator representing Illinois from 2005 to 2008. He was then elected the 44th President of the United States, serving from 2008 to 2016. After leaving the presidency, Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009.
Alfred and Clara Ritter opened a small confectionery factory in 1912 in Bad Cannstatt, Germany, where they began producing chocolate. In 1930, the company was transferred to Waldenbuch. Today, the family-owned company is run by the third generation and produces around 60,000 tons of chocolate per year, including its signature Ritter Sport chocolate squares. The brand is sold in over 90 countries and has an estimated 7% market share in key markets like Germany and Russia.
Adam Smith was an 18th century Scottish economist considered the father of modern economics. He developed the theory of value which states that the value of a good is determined by the amount of labor required to produce it. However, this only applies to primitive societies. In modern capitalist societies, the value or price of a good is made up of the costs of production including labor costs, profit, and rent for land usage. Smith's theory of value helped establish the basis for modern economic thought, though it is not fully applicable in complex market economies.
