The right stuff - what the space race can teach us about facing design challe...Matthew Ovington
'The Right Stuff' - that multifaceted quality of piloting skill, courage, experience, nerve and reflexes - was a term coined by Tom Wolfe. It describes the common attributes of the pilots who made the Mercury 7 space programme a success.
The Mercury programme was a challenge of tremendous complexity and scale - any team facing a similar design challenge draws upon a mixture of experience, skill and personal qualities to face that challenge.
Why do some practitioners fail to live up to their potential, while others perform far beyond our initial expectations? What qualities and behaviours enable teams to rise to the occasion?
In this session I'll talk about the things I've learned building and leading design teams over the past 15 years and how there are echos from the themes of 'The Right Stuff'. It's aimed at practitioners and managers, with the goal of communicating some of the qualities and attributes I've found to be leading indicators of individual and team performance.
Terrapinn is an experimental, global, innovative, customer-centric, influential, energetic, dynamic, exciting, creative, and challenging company that communicates for business people. However, their processes and mechanics were getting in the way through issues like millions of emails causing list fatigue and brand confusion. Terrapinn's solution was to make content the center stage, segment their audiences, and design delivery and websites to invite participation rather than just push information. This resulted in valuable planning efficiencies, brand consistency, improved metrics like deliverability and click-through rates, increased online response and bookings, and rising audience retention.
Fictional Blogging Can Web 2 0 Translate To Publishing 2 0 Presentationtoc
This document discusses the future of publishing and how stories may be delivered through new technologies rather than traditional printed books. It mentions embracing formats like blogs, mobile content, podcasts, and social media platforms. It also discusses an author who is experimenting with these new publishing platforms to connect with readers and distribute her work in new ways beyond traditional publishing.
Panelists will address the practical application of XML production methods including evaluating your list, how and when to chunk and tag, and working with authors and editors. (Phil Madans, Hachette Book Group)
The document discusses how traditional media metrics no longer fully capture audience engagement. It argues marketers need to move beyond metrics like impressions and clicks to gain deeper insight into human behaviors and expectations. To be effective, communicators must study how people actually interact with and interpret content. The goal is to create useful content that elicits meaningful responses by understanding audiences rather than trying to control messages or viewers.
I Had No Idea My Phone Could Do That! Presentationtoc
Hearst Corporation has expanded into mobile media through the creation of 9 mobile websites and 8 text clubs. They have seen success with mobile advertising including banners and SMS, as well as sales of applications, wallpapers, and other content. Market research shows high mobile phone ownership and engagement with mobile internet and texting. Hearst aims to meet consumer needs through location-based information, timely tips, and engaging stories delivered across all major carriers.
A successful content ecosystem takes connections connected content, people, and systems. However, at many organizations, content is created in silos, powered by politics, and not driven by success metrics. It might be outdated or contradictory, have different voices, or be disconnected from audience needs. In those instances, content is a drain and an expense, rather than an asset. This presentation reveals how organizations of different types and sizes created content ecosystems that transformed their content into assets that deliver audience value and drive business success.
Your organization's content is a connector: A connector of your organization to your audience, and of peers in different disciplines across an organization. Content strategy is the key to making those connections happen in a sustainable fashion, and collaboration is at the very heart of it.

Online licensing strategies: the path to digital revenuetoc
Bill O'Brien gave a presentation on online licensing strategies and the role of XML in digital content licensing. XML allows content to be broken into smaller chunks, enabling "micro commerce" through sub-chapter level licensing and sales of individual images, videos, and other content pieces. This results in many small transactions that can drive significant revenue increases for publishers. XML also streamlines the permissions process for customers through automated ordering and flexible licensing options like real-time PDF proofs. Early adopters using XML-based online licensing through CCC, like Rightslink, have seen permission and commercial reprint revenue increases as high as 17% in just six months.
Panelists address how the agile content produced by an XML workflow enables revenue growth through more effective digital marketing, content licensing, and multi-format publishing. (Leslie Hulse, HarperCollins Publishers)

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
2. Is a book only a book if it is printed on
paper?
3. Publishing in the future will be…
“an increasingly hybrid world of print and
digital. Those players who can master the
art of production, distribution, promotion
and marketing in the digital world, while
remaining equally effective in the print and
offline world, will be long-term winners.”
-- Richard Sarnoff, President, Bertelsmann

9. Textual design is an evolutionary process, but
has been geared toward printed products
Moveable Type
•Gutenberg (1450) Typography, use of fonts
•Allowed mass distribution of printed
material
•Not very flexible
Desktop Publishing
•Adobe PageMaker (1985)
•DTP more flexible for print products
•Easy to change and correct
•Print ready PDF
10. The new publishing model calls for a

13. Why Start With XML?
• Digital files become available much earlier in the
production process
• High quality content available for marketing and
sales
• eBook files created and distributed in synch with
print and audio
• XML becomes the master file
– Content is synchronized across all formats
and platforms

15. Contextual tagging enables
“front-of-store display”
for every title
Enhanced Context Tagging
– XML allows for context tagging for enhanced search
and discovery
• Not just recognizing words, but discerning meaning
– Contextual searches provide better, more focused
search results
• Customers can discover content easier and faster
• Reaching out to your audience and leaving a trail of
breadcrumbs for your audience to follow
• Baseball diamond, Neil Diamond, Selma Diamond
– Pull out chapters based on contextual search criteria
16. Start With XML
Endings are elusive, middles are nowhere
to be found, but worst of all is to begin, to
begin, to begin.
