It's when people actively engage in their neighborhood or community either by doing something or really engaging in the thinking around doing something that allows them to create some positive change." -Chris Gates, Executive Director, Philanthropy for Active Civic Engagement

Broadband Regulation and the Global EconomyYankee Group
The broadband industry is receiving growing attention globally as governments recognize the key role broadband plays in economy-wide recovery. The emerging Anywhere Network™ –a powerful, pervasive digital network that can connect all people, at any time, in any place–presents an opportunity to create more jobs, increase productivity across a country's workforce and develop new solutions for health care, education, transportation and energy.
In the U.S., three key agencies are still sorting out how to allocate the broadband funds, and to whom, and many details remain unclear. Despite this flux, companies who seek to capitalize on the energy around broadband must understand the current state of thinking and the likely direction, nature and size of project funds being distributed throughout the world.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Business Valuation Principles for EntrepreneursBen Wann
This insightful presentation is designed to equip entrepreneurs with the essential knowledge and tools needed to accurately value their businesses. Understanding business valuation is crucial for making informed decisions, whether you're seeking investment, planning to sell, or simply want to gauge your company's worth.
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
Personal Brand Statement:
As an Army veteran dedicated to lifelong learning, I bring a disciplined, strategic mindset to my pursuits. I am constantly expanding my knowledge to innovate and lead effectively. My journey is driven by a commitment to excellence, and to make a meaningful impact in the world.
