Cuckoo and I - IT Tallaght Advertising & Marketing - 28/04/14Mark Breen
I was asked to speak to a first year Advertising & Marketing class in IT Tallaght. They were interested in Cuckoo, how I got to where I am and my take on marketing and social media. I really enjoyed this one.
I love advertising and my own background is in marketing so it was fun speaking on something related to events but not solely events-specific.
5 Years on: Recruitment company shareprice performance sept 12th 2008 dateMarcus Panton
An updated and slightly more detailed analysis showing how 12 listed recruitment companies have performed since the market crash of 2008.
This analysis show's extra information such as headcount, market cap, interim report highlights (and a few low lights), 2013 performance, Q3 performance, graphs, charts and some simple observations.
I hope that if you work in recruitment, you will find this simple analysis of interest and hopefully it'll trigger some interesting conversations.
Note - Initially I put this together simply out of interest as an investor, trader and recruitment professional, it goes without saying that you should not base any investment decision on anything I have included in this analysis.

This presentation by Adobe Sr. Product Manager, Kapil Verma (@kapilAdobe) covers the many areas of feature and product improvement in FrameMaker 11. DITA and XML authoring has been made even simpler and more transparent than before. Major improvements like XPath, XQuery, XML Code view and "intelliprompt" for elements and attributes are most welcomed. Even is you are still doing "unstructured" authoring, the ability to generate a hyperlinked parts table from 3D diagrams, in place insertion of styles, improved FIND/CHANGE and more control over customizing your user interface are a huge help.

Avnet, Inc. 2010 Analyst Day & 50th Anniversary Celebration: Dec 15, 2010
Presenters included: Roy Vallee, chairman and chief executive officer; Rick Hamada, president and chief operating officer; Ray Sadowski, senior vice president and chief financial officer; Harley Feldberg, president, Electronics Marketing; and Phil Gallagher, president, Technology Solutions.
Following the analyst day event, Avnet commemorated its 50th anniversary on the New York Stock Exchange by ringing the closing bell.
In today’s Smarter Consumer and their use of technology (internet, mobile, and social) all industries are struggling to better serve and be more relevant to their customers and potential customers. When done well, businesses can 1) Improve loyalty and grow ‘share of wallet’, 2), True differentiation and competitive advantage as consumer’s ‘trusted advisor', 3) Margin improvement through optimized marketing spend, inventory, labor, etc., 4) Real intelligence vs. ‘paid for search positioning’ like Google
Today’s shoppers expect retailers to have the same or better information available whenever they interact with the brand — online, in-store or via a mobile device. In addition to product information, retailers are wise to have all relevant cross-channel customer information available and accessible. The truth is that 40% to 70% of shoppers already have researched their desired products online before going to the store. And, of the consumers who enter the store knowing what they want to buy, 50% leave empty-handed because they can’t find what they are looking for.
But when store associates are armed with mobile devices, they can personalize their interaction with customers by suggesting upsells and cross-sells; accessing product ratings and reviews; providing comparisons with other products, looking up inventory; and finally completing the transaction on-the-spot using mobile payment or processing a return.
Industry-leading retailers realize the importance of implementing mobile commerce. Starmount’s Mobile Selling Assistant, called Engage, currently is deployed in all Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie and Free People stores; and the device is also being piloted by several other nationally recognized retailers.
This webinar will provide answers to key questions on retailers’ minds as they plan to integrate mobile commerce in-store. A selection of those questions include:
How will mobile commerce affect store operations?
What infrastructure must be in place?
Will the mobile commerce system be secure?
What is the best way to communicate with customers going forward?
To learn more about the best strategies to implement mobile commerce, and hear real-world retailer success stories, click here to register for the upcoming webinar titled “The Roadmap To In-Store Mobile Commerce.”
Session delivered as part of The Conference Board Diversity and Inclusion New Leaders Academy aimed to train new practitioners in the D&I field about relevant metrics. Four types of metrics are covered: profitability (impact of diversity in performance), workforce representation (cascading gender goals), inclusion and flexibility.
The people of Worcester in the Western Cape have come together to form a network of care and support for the development of children. Watch this short presentation to see what they did, how they did it, and their best advice for others who would like to create similar networks for children elsewhere in South Africa.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
