Lightning Talk #9: How UX and Data Storytelling Can Shape Policy by Mika Aldabaux singapore
How can we take UX and Data Storytelling out of the tech context and use them to change the way government behaves?
Showcasing the truth is the highest goal of data storytelling. Because the design of a chart can affect the interpretation of data in a major way, one must wield visual tools with care and deliberation. Using quantitative facts to evoke an emotional response is best achieved with the combination of UX and data storytelling.
Content personalisation is becoming more prevalent. A site, it's content and/or it's products, change dynamically according to the specific needs of the user. SEO needs to ensure we do not fall behind of this trend.
Succession “Losers”: What Happens to Executives Passed Over for the CEO Job?
By David F. Larcker, Stephen A. Miles, and Brian Tayan
Stanford Closer Look Series
Overview:
Shareholders pay considerable attention to the choice of executive selected as the new CEO whenever a change in leadership takes place. However, without an inside look at the leading candidates to assume the CEO role, it is difficult for shareholders to tell whether the board has made the correct choice. In this Closer Look, we examine CEO succession events among the largest 100 companies over a ten-year period to determine what happens to the executives who were not selected (i.e., the “succession losers”) and how they perform relative to those who were selected (the “succession winners”).
We ask:
• Are the executives selected for the CEO role really better than those passed over?
• What are the implications for understanding the labor market for executive talent?
• Are differences in performance due to operating conditions or quality of available talent?
• Are boards better at identifying CEO talent than other research generally suggests?
FRIENDSHIP OR LOVE 2
FRIENDSHIP OR LOVE 2
Running head: FRIENDSHIP OR LOVE 1
Short Story: Friendship or Love
Suzanne Henderson and Mitchell Johnson meet at a funeral after many years, where Mitchell finally got the courage to say hello to Suzanne but there was tension in his tone which could cut the glass at that moment. He excused the folks and said, “Hi, it’s been awhile”. “Hello, yes it has been a long time since we saw each other,” Suzanne responded and excused herself to meet Mitchell’s sister, Aria, and Rebecca’s mother to pay her respects. Suzanne could not ignore when she heard from their friend John that Rebecca died after living with lung cancer for two years. Rebecca and Mitchell were married for six years. Suzanne was in town after seven years when she left to pursue her career in Europe, right after completing her university. Suzanne could remember each turn, each road and each café of the town and remembered her sitting with her love interest at that time or her friends Rebecca and Aria. When she crossed Mitchell and Aria’s house while going to a funeral, she could remember the last time when she left that house and tears came rolling down on her flushed cheeks which showed her nervousness at that time because she knew she will have to meet Mitchell and Aria there. She lost contact with everyone from university when she left the town because she never wanted to stick to these memories, but she never knew that this place could not leave her.
When Mitchell saw Suzanne in her black dress coming out from the car, he could not believe his eyes because he made peace with the fact that he would never see Suanne ever again, especially after all these years. He still found her as attractive as she was in her teenage years with the same innocence on her face. Her curly hair was as fresh as it was before. When Suzanne met everyone from Mitchell’s home, she left and stopped at the cafe where she used to sit with her friends. It was a gloomy afternoon and there were only a few people in the café. When Suzanne took the first sip of coffee, memories rushed back to her mind about the day when Rebecca, Suzanne, and Aria first met in school. Rebecca, Suzanne, and Aria were best friends in high school, and they chose a similar degree of Medicine to pursue their passion. They always dreamt of working together as doctors in a hospital, but fate decided something else for them, which no one imagined. Suzanne could listen to those laughs which she enjoyed with her beloved friends. She remembered the night staying at Aria’s home where Mitchell used to be with the whole night, talking about random shows. Especially, I can never forget how Nana used t ...

THE PERKS OF BEING A
WALLFLOWER
By
STEPHEN CHBOSKY
Part 1
August 25, 1991 Dear friend,
I am writing to you because she said you listen and understand and didn't
try to sleep with that person at that party even though you could have. Please
don't try to figure out who she is because then you might figure out who I am,
and I really don't want you to do that. I will call people by different names or
generic names because I don't want you to find me. I didn't enclose a return
address for the same reason. I mean nothing bad by this. Honest.
I just need to know that someone out there listens and understands and
doesn't try to sleep with people even if they could have. I need to know that
these people exist.
I think you of all people would understand that because I think you of all
people are alive and appreciate what that means. At least I hope you do
because other people look to you for strength and friendship and it's that
simple. At least that's what I've heard.
So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad
and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.
I try to think of my family as a reason for me being this way, especially
after my friend Michael stopped going to school one day last spring and we
heard Mr. Vaughn's voice on the loudspeaker.
"Boys and girls, I regret to inform you that one of our students has passed
on. We will hold a memorial service for Michael Dobson during assembly
this Friday."
I don't know how news travels around school and why it is very often right.
Maybe it was in the lunchroom. It's hard to remember. But Dave with the
awkward glasses told us that Michael killed himself. His mom played bridge
with one of Michael's neighbors and they heard the gunshot.
I don't really remember much of what happened after that except that my
older brother came to Mr. Vaughn's office in my middle school and told me to
stop crying. Then, he put his arm on my shoulder and told me to get it out of
my system before Dad came home. We then went to eat French fries at
McDonald's and he taught me how to play pinball. He even made a joke that
because of me he got to skip an afternoon of school and asked me if I wanted
to help him work on his Camaro. I guess I was pretty messy because he never
let me work on his Camaro before.
At the guidance counselor sessions, they asked the few of us who actually
liked Michael to say a few words. I think they were afraid that some of us
would try to kill ourselves or something because they looked very tense and
one of them kept touching his beard.
Bridget who is crazy said that sometimes she thought about suicide when
commercials come on during TV. She was sincere and this puzzled the
guidance counselors. Carl who is nice to everyone said that he felt very sad,
but could never kill himself because it is a sin.

https://bit.ly/BabeSideDoll4u Babeside is a company that specializes in creating handcrafted reborn dolls. These dolls are designed to be incredibly lifelike, with realistic skin tones and hair, and they have become increasingly popular among collectors and those who use them for therapeutic purposes. At Babeside, we believe that our reborn dolls can provide comfort and healing to anyone who needs it.
The Healing Power of Babeside's Handcrafted Creations
Our reborn dolls are more than just beautiful pieces of art - they can also help alleviate stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. Studies have shown that holding or cuddling a soft object like a stuffed animal or a reborn doll can release oxytocin, which is often referred to as the "love hormone." This hormone helps us feel calm and relaxed, reducing feelings of stress and anxiety.
In addition to their physical benefits, reborn dolls can also offer emotional support. For many people, having something to care for and nurture can bring a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Reborn dolls can also serve as a reminder of happy memories or loved ones who have passed away.
Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.

Pipa - Someone is Exposed
1. Someone is exposed.
Aria was at the Hasting's house in Spencer's bedroom. She was talking with her about Toby.
A: So, did you finally brake up with him?
S: Yes, but it was terrible. Wren was there, and he drove me home.
A: Wren?
S: Yes, and after that he kissed me.
A: Wait, what?
S: I didn't want him to kiss me. You know that I still love Toby, but braking up with him is the
only way to keep him safe.
A: I actually hate A.
S: Yes, me too. So, what happend with Jackie?
A: She told me that if I don't leave Ezra and I don't talk about her cheating in her paper, she will
tell everyone about Ezra and I.
S: What a bitch!
A: I know. But a don't have any option.
S: What are you going to do?
A: I don't know. I was thinking...
But she couldn't finish talking when her Treo rang and she saw a new message. She read it. It
was from Ezra.
We need to talk. See you in my place?
-Ezra
A: Hey! I need to go.
S: Are you having a Fitz date?
A: I'm just going to his apartment.
S: Well, I wish you luck.
A: Thanks. Call me tomorrow.
S: Perfect.
A: Bye.
S: Bye.
She walked out of the Hasting's house and started walking. She was looking at the ground when
someone shouted.
J: Hey! Aria!
Jason DiLaurentis was standing in front of her.
J: Er... Do you want to go for a coffee?
A: I can't go now. I'm sorry.
J: I know. You are not aveliable.
A: No! It's not that. I'm going to Spencer's house.
2. J: But, her house is right behind of you.
A: Yes, I know... Is just... I need to go, I'm so sorry.
J: OK, I leave you alone. But remember, secrets can't be keeped forever. And if someone knows
about your relationship with that proffessor...
A: Nobody is going to tell.
J: You can't be sure. People talk, Aria. The see things and they gossip. You better be careful.
You don't know who you can trust.
A: Thank you for the advice. I need to go.
J: Bye, Aria.
She started walking fast in Ezra's appartment direction. She watched her phone. A new message.
She was nervous. Yes, it was from A.
Hey Aria! Maybe his right. You can't trust everyone. Especially me.
And a picture was attached. She opened it. It was a picture of Ezra and her making out in his car.
If you don't take care of yourself, maybe I can help Jackie tell everyone about you. Remember,
make Jackie go.
-A
She send a message to Ezra and change her direction, going to her house. She wanted to rest and
think about that message.
I can't go. Call me tomorrow. I'm sorry.
-Aria
She locked up in her room and read the message over and over again. She hated Jackie so much.
Next morning she visited Ezra at Hollis. She was talking with him when Jackie interrupted in the
room smiling.
J: Hi Z! Oh, sorry. Are you in the middle of something?
E: Oh, no. We were only talking.
J: Excellent.
A: So, I need to go. Good to see you.
E: Yes, good to see you too.
And she smiled at him and left the room. She started walking through the lonley corridor when
someone pushed her to the wall.
J: Listen little girl. I told you. You didn't leave Ezra, so be careful. If I were you I'll see the
newspaper. It's an interesting article. Here I have one. Read it.
3. And Jackie put in her hands the daily Rosewood newspaper and went away. Aria couldn't believe
it. It was a big photo of Ezra and her. It was the same phoyo A sent her last nigt and the big title
said: Ezra Fitz, a Rosewood Day teacher, is having a secret relationship with one of his students.
She run directly to Ezra's office and when he opened, she show the newspaper to him and the run
to the Montgomery's house. They wanted Aria's parents to know from them before.
They opened the door and the first thing the saw was Ella, Byron and Mike standing in front of
the stairs. Byron was holding a newspaper and Ella was reading it. They looked up and saw Aria
and Ezra in front of them.
A: Mom, Dad... I can explain it.
But she couldn't start doing it because Mike hit Ezra directly in his face.
A: Mike!
Byron hold him and Ella standed in the middle of Ezra, who was touching his now red nose, and
his son.
B: Mike! Stop!
M: He's an idiot! Pedophile!
A: Mike! Stop it!
E: Please Mike, calm down.
M: Calm down? He is a teacher! Aren't you angry?!
E: No, I'm not. I'm dissapointed.
A: Mom, let me explain...
B: Aria. We will listen your explanation, but we can't be sure that it will change our mind.
A: Just listen. Ezra and I met at a pub before the classes started. We kinda liked each other at
first. After that I went to school and I saw that he was my teacher. And we talked and we decided
to continue with our relationship.
B: Why? Aria, you knew that that wasn't right! He is a teacher.
A: It wasn't right,but it felt right.
E: So this started before the classes started and you never told nothing?
A: I was afraid of how could you take it. When you thought it was Spencer you felt so bad that I
couldn't tell you nothing!
E: I still feeling the same way I did. In fact, I'm feeling worst.
And she left the room. Mike saw Ezra directly to his eyes with a lot of angry in his eyes, and
locked up in his room. Byron gave Aria the newspaper and, with a sad look, left the room.
E: I didn't want them to know like this.
A: Yes, I know. Me neither. I think you need to go right know. I need to be with my family.
E: I understand. I'll call you later or tomorrow.
A: OK.
E: Aria.
A: Yes?
4. E: I love you so much.
A: I love you too.
And he gave her a sweet and short kiss in her lips, full of love. He opened the door and went
home. Aria went to her room and locked up, she didn't realised Ella was in the living-room
watching Ezra and her saing goodbye. A tear fall from Ella's eye.
