Content Curation: How to do it Right? - Lander Blog Content marketing. If you are even remotely involved in the marketing world, chances are you have heard about it. A lot! But there's a big challenge to current and would be content marketers. Well there's a way to make this problem a lot less painful: content curation. Benefits Of Content Curation: A Win-Win-Win Content curation increases the pool of available useful content for your campaigns, meaning you have to write less original content. Even if you produce lots of great content that your audience loves, it can be beneficial to you and them to include some fresh perspectives by incorporating outside content on a regular basis. One of the key components of online marketing success is to drive traffic, including repeat traffic, to your website. Curated content can help you build an “online destination” where hordes of information seekers want to visit again and again. It can build your brand as an authority and thought leader in your niche or industry. Let's face it. The Big Picture

Mirrored black and white photographs, with what is clearly the perfect amount of brightly-hued watercolor paint. {via Colossal} A little hand, big idea :-) by James You will need some fine settings on your printer to print the 60% scale hand. The model pictured is 100% and prints easily with .25mm layers. But for 60% I used 0.18 layer and 0.3mm extrusion width with 12-18mm/s feed rates. After the print finishes you need to cut off the support pads some are circular others are rectangular. You will need some fishing line 0.5-0.8mm dia and 1.5-2mm dia self-tapping screws. not easy to get but available, go to a hobby store. The wrist and thumb base parts I recommend screwing together for initial assembly, then when it all works well glue and screw it together. The tips are a separate print because I printed them hollow, 0.3mm wall thickness with soft pliable PLA, any printable plastic will do though. Once it’s together thread 5 lengths of fishing line through each finger and tie knots in the end to retain them (I'm working on the components to connect these lines to but for now just tie them to rings for your fingers to control the hand).

Algodoo High-voltage engineers create nearly 200-foot-long electrical arcs using less energy than before (Update) Photos taken by the researchers show plasma arcs up to 60 meters long casting an eerie blue glow over buildings and trees at the High Voltage Laboratory at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand. A team of engineers at Canterbury University in New Zealand has developed a method to create nearly 200-foot-long electrical arcs -- visible currents of electricity traveling through air that has been broken down into electrically charged particles. Others have created longer arcs, but the traditional technique requires large amounts of energy in order to break down the air. The new technique requires much less energy. Daniel Sinars, who researches fusion at Sandia National Laboratory in Albuquerque, N.M., has also worked with exploding wires, but at a much smaller scale. "It's hard to make a plasma that size," said Sinars. The team occasionally created plasma arcs during other exploding wire experiments and pursued the new research in order to better understand how the arcs formed.

Science News, Articles and Information | Scientific American Decision support system A Decision Support System (DSS) is a computer-based information system that supports business or organizational decision-making activities. DSSs serve the management, operations, and planning levels of an organization (usually mid and higher management) and help to make decisions, which may be rapidly changing and not easily specified in advance (Unstructured and Semi-Structured decision problems). Decision support systems can be either fully computerized, human or a combination of both. While academics have perceived DSS as a tool to support decision making process, DSS users see DSS as a tool to facilitate organizational processes.[1] Some authors have extended the definition of DSS to include any system that might support decision making.[2] Sprague (1980) defines DSS by its characteristics: DSSs include knowledge-based systems. Typical information that a decision support application might gather and present includes: History[edit] Taxonomies[edit] Components[edit] Classification[edit]
