My Future of Advertising class #10 (3/31/08) was all about one word--Google--and its impact on advertising and marketing. This presentation is my overview on the subject. To be honest--this presentation does not focus on Google's primary business, i.e. Search. Instead, the focus is on Utility and the role Google can play in advertising and marketing. So pardon me for glossing over paid and organic search. I leave that subject to the experts, like the Poetic Prophet. This presentation includes audio from the Poetic Prophet's "Paid Search 101" rap (see the original here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=c96LTLlaXew).

The document discusses various types of impacts that can occur in national parks like the Grampians National Park in Australia. It mentions conservation, recreation, and commercial impacts and gives examples of each. It also provides background information on the park, describing its size, location, vegetation and wildlife, as well as organizations responsible for its management. Potential conflicts between different user groups seeking to utilize the park are also discussed.
The Power of People by Summer, Amelia, Ava and Emily sarahgreet
The document discusses how a group of people help others through kindness, honesty, and openness. It describes helping people by providing transportation when they are hurt, assistance when they are struggling with tasks, and support when their feelings have been hurt. The group aims to cheer people on, be kind, tell the truth, share ideas, and encourage others to try new things in order to help people through the power of community.
Young Advisors Team: Social Media And How To Use It For BusinessJames Hutto
The document discusses the growth of social media and internet usage. It notes that Facebook recently reached 200 million users, and that searches on Google last month exceeded 31 billion. The number of internet devices grew from 1,000 in 1984 to over 1 billion in 2008. Various social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube and Wikipedia are also discussed and key statistics about their growth and usage are provided. The document concludes by asking why social media works and suggesting it allows for anonymity, credibility and trust between individuals rather than brands.
The document announces the 2009 winners by repeating the phrase "The 2009 Winners!" five times without providing any further details about what contest or awards are being referenced or who the winners are.
The document summarizes research on modeling multiple sequence processing using an unsupervised neural network approach based on the Hypermap Model. Key points:
- The researcher extends previous models to handle complex sequences with repeating subsequences and multiple sequences occurring together without interference.
- Modifications include incorporating short-term memory to dynamically encode time-varying sequence context and inhibitory links to enable competitive queuing during recall.
- Experimental evaluation shows the network can correctly recall sequences using partial context and when sequences overlap.
- Future work aims to model the transition from single-word to two-word child speech and incorporate temporal processing of multimodal inputs like gestures.
The document warns about the dangers of smoking and provides tips for quitting. It lists several toxic chemicals found in cigarettes and negative consequences of smoking like health issues, social stigma, and financial costs. The document recommends nicotine patches and gum as therapeutic options to help people quit smoking.

Priamos: A Middleware Architecture for Real-Time Semantic Annotation of Conte...Nikolaos Konstantinou
This paper proposes a middleware architecture for the automated, real-time, unsupervised annotation of low-level context features and their mapping to high-level semantics. The distinguishing characteristic of this architecture is that both low level components such as sensors, feature extraction algorithms and data sources, and high level components such as application-specific ontologies are pluggable to the middleware architecture thus facilitating application development and system configuration to different real-world scenarios. A prototype implementation based on Semantic Web tools is presented in depth, while the benefits and drawbacks of this approach are underlined. We argue that the use of Semantic Web provides powerful answers to context awareness challenges. Furthermore, it enables the composition of simple rules through human-centric interfaces, which may launch a context-aware system that will annotate content without the need for user technical expertise. A test case of system operation in a laboratory environment is presented. Emphasis is given, along with the theoretical justification, to practical issues that arise in real-world scenarios.
This document discusses economic freedom and rankings of various entities such as schools, economies, and places to live.

Methods of measuring economic freedom like the Index of Economic Freedom are presented. The document considers whether ranking systems are negative, zero, or positive sum games and suggests including more discussion of economic freedom in courses by utilizing available resources.

Sensei Kuki is a world champion martial artist from India who has also acted in Bollywood films. He has extensively traveled through Asia, Australia, and Scandinavia. After injuries led him to heal without modern medicine, he developed a training method called Kukikan that integrates martial arts, weight training, yoga, and meditation. Kukikan training aims to use the body as a tool to train the mind through strengthening, flexibility, and breath awareness. Sensei Kuki teaches this method through private lessons, retreats, and his book "Tao of 3 Rings".
Human resources refers to the employees of an organization. Human resource management (HRM) involves acquiring, training, evaluating, and compensating employees to maximize their performance and satisfaction. HRM aims to achieve organizational goals through personnel, functional, organizational, and societal objectives. Its key functions include staffing, human resource development, and ensuring employee safety and health. Technological advances now allow HR data to be computerized for improved job placement, training, succession planning and compensation management. Effective HRM can boost organizational performance by increasing productivity, reducing absenteeism and accidents, eliminating wasted time, and installing safety and health programs.
