The document discusses how Amendment 772 in Alabama has expanded the ability of local governments to offer economic incentives to attract retail businesses. It allows incentives like rebating sales taxes generated by a new project. This benefits small retailers seeking to expand, as incentives can help bridge the gap between what tenants are willing to pay in rent and what developers need to earn a profit. An example occurred in Tuscaloosa, where incentives helped develop a new shopping center projected to create jobs and tax revenue. Overall, Amendment 772 gives local leaders more flexibility to recruit retail outlets, especially important for rural areas lacking other economic options.
U.S. Consumer Banks and the Potential of Location-Based OffersCognizant
The document discusses how location-based offers (LBOs) present an opportunity for U.S. retail banks. As mobile device usage increases and location technologies advance, LBOs are growing across industries like retail and healthcare. However, retailers lack customer spending data to make offers truly relevant. Banks have this valuable customer data from transaction histories. By partnering with retailers and using location data, banks can create highly customized LBOs that drive customer loyalty and sales for both banks and retailers. Success requires strategies that leverage mobile technologies, location data, and analytics to deliver the right offers at the right time based on a customer's unique "Code Halo" of digital data.
The document outlines the preparation and presentation for a lesson on the InStill Life project, which has students create still life paintings of food that are turned into gift cards, with the proceeds going to lend money to farmers and food producers around the world to help them grow their businesses.

The document promotes the system's ability to achieve uncompromised esthetic and functional results through its simplified approach.

While the US remains the largest economic power, its hegemony is being challenged. The US accounts for a third of global GDP but has large deficits and debt. Other countries like China are becoming more competitive and influential. The US reliance on the dollar and military spending still give it global power but its leadership role is weakening as economic growth in places like China exceeds its own. Rising powers and a more distributed global economy threaten to end sole US dominance.

Redo Pull-Through in Hirschsprung Disease ArticleAlexander Coe
This document discusses patients who experience recurrent obstructive symptoms after undergoing surgery (pull-through) to treat Hirschsprung's disease. Sixteen patients required reoperation due to residual aganglionosis or transition zone bowel found on histopathology. These patients presented months after their initial surgery with constipation, enterocolitis, or failure to thrive. Reoperation involved transanal resection and resolved the obstructive symptoms in all cases. The findings suggest that a full-thickness biopsy at the initial surgery may help identify residual disease and prevent the need for reoperation.

It also analyzes scales measuring faculty and peer feedback, and their relationship to integrative learning outcomes and students' personalization of their ePortfolios. The document concludes by discussing implications and identifying next steps to improve the survey and guide future C2L research efforts.

I put together this presentation for my local Meetup to show attendees the marketing lessons I gleaned from this past 2016 presidential election.
The good, the bad, and the ugly.
This is NOT about politics. It's about how the two main candidates (Trump and Clinton) SOLD their vision.
Or how they didn't. Or how one did better than the other and consequently moved more people in the battleground states to win.
I won't tell you here - look at the presentation and tell me what you think.

This allows the user to choose which circles see each post, giving them control over their privacy settings and the ability to share selectively.

The document provides instructions on how to use circles to segment audiences and share both publicly and privately on Google+.
This document provides a list of social media and online tools including Gmail, Google+, Hangouts, YouTube, a social media web app, an internet phone call alternative to Hangouts, PC cleaning software, and Aweber for email list management.

Covey says most people look for quick fixes. They see a big success and want to know how he did it, believing (and hoping) they can do the same following a quick bullet list.
But real change, the author says, comes not from the outside in, but from the inside out. And the most fundamental way of changing yourself is through a paradigm shift.
That paradigm shift is a new way of looking at the world. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People presents an approach to effectiveness based on character and principles.
The first three habits indeed deal with yourself because it all starts with you. The first three habits move you from dependence from the world to the independence of making your own world.
Habits 4, 5 and 6 are about people and relationships. The will move you from independence to interdependence. Such, cooperating to achieve more than you could have by yourself.
The last habit, habit number 7, focuses on continuous growth and improvement.
