Who Gets Breast Cancer and Who Survives?
Who Gets It? continued...
Family History: If a close relative has it (such as a mother, sister, or daughter), your chance of getting it doubles. But less than 15% of women who get breast cancer have a family member who has it.
Radiation Therapy : Women who've had this treatment to the chest area before age 30 (for instance, for Hodgkin's lymphoma) have a higher risk of getting breast cancer later in life.
Menopausal Hormone Therapy (or Hormone Replacement Therapy): Studies show that taking a combination of estrogen and progesterone hormones for more than 5 years after menopause can increase your risk.
Being Overweight: Before menopause, most of your estrogen comes from your ovaries. Afterward, most of it comes from fat tissue. This raises your estrogen levels, and your chances of getting breast cancer.
Many of the same risk factors for women also apply to men: aging, having the BRCA genes, a family history of breast cancer, and radiation exposure. But men are far less likely to get the disease than women, because they have very low levels of "female hormones" in their bodies.
Who Survives?
It's not always clear. Much of it seems to depend on how advanced the cancer is -- or what "stage" it is -- when doctors find it.
Doctors rate each stage from 0 to IV, depending on the size of the tumor, whether it's spread to other parts of the body, and other things. A stage 0 means the disease hasn't spread. Stage IV means it has.
Here's the American Cancer Society's, 5-year survival rate by stage:
Stage 0-I -- 100%
Stage II -- 93%
Stage III -- 72%
Stage IV -- 22%
Each type of breast cancer "has a different prognosis and a unique responsiveness to specific medical treatments," says Dennis Citrin, PhD, a medical oncologist at Midwestern Regional Medical Center in Illinois. How well you follow your treatment plan also affects your health, he says.
Bivins agrees. "You have to really listen to those physicians so you can have the best chance of survival," she says. "And so, when they told me to do something, I did it. And I think that's why I'm here today."

Increasing evidence in both experimental and clinical studies suggests that oxidative stress plays a major role in the pathogenesis of both types of diabetes mellitus. Free radicals are formed disproportionately in diabetes by glucose oxidation, nonenzymatic glycation of proteins, and the subsequent oxidative degradation of glycated proteins. Abnormally high levels of free radicals and the simultaneous decline of antioxidant defense mechanisms can lead to damage of cellular organelles and enzymes, increased lipid peroxidation, and development of insulin resistance. These consequences of oxidative stress can promote the development of complications of diabetes mellitus. Changes in oxidative stress biomarkers, including superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione levels, vitamins, lipid peroxidation, nitrite concentration, nonenzymatic glycosylated proteins, and hyperglycemia in diabetes, and their consequences, are discussed in this review. In vivo studies of the effects of various conventional and alternative drugs on these biomarkers are surveyed. There is a need to continue to explore the relationship between free radicals, diabetes, and its complications, and to elucidate the mechanisms by which increased oxidative stress accelerates the development of diabetic complications, in an effort to expand treatment options. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Inferring the evolutionary history of Drosophila americana and Drosophila novamexicana using a multilocus approach and the influence of chromosomal rearrangements in single gene analyses
Ramiro Morales-Hojas, Fax: +351 22 609 9157; E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
The evolutionary history of closely related organisms can prove sometimes difficult to infer. Hybridization and incomplete lineage sorting are the main concerns; however, genome rearrangements can also influence the outcome of analyses based on nuclear sequences. In the present study, DNA sequences from 12 nuclear genes, for which the approximate chromosomal locations are known, have been used to estimate the evolutionary history of two forms of Drosophila americana (Drosophila americana americana and Drosophila americana texana) and Drosophila novamexicana (virilis group of species). The phylogenetic analysis of the combined data set resulted in a phylogeny showing reciprocal monophyly for D. novamexicana and D. americana. Single gene analyses, however, resulted in incongruent phylogenies influenced by chromosomal rearrangements. Genetic differentiation estimates indicated a significant differentiation between the two species for all genes. Within D. americana, however, there is no evidence for differentiation between the chromosomal forms except at genes located near the X/4 fusion and Xc inversion breakpoint. Thus, the specific status of D. americana and D. novamexicana is confirmed, but there is no overall evidence for genetic differentiation between D. a. americana and D. a. texana, not supporting a subspecific status. Based on levels of allele and nucleotide diversity found in the strains used, it is proposed that D. americana has had a stable, large population during the recent past while D. novamexicana has speciated from a peripheral southwestern population having had an ancestral small effective population size. The influence of chromosomal rearrangements in single gene analyses is also examined.

Speculation About Beyond Search
June 2, 2016
If you are curious to learn more about the purveyor of the Beyond Search blog, you should check out Singularity's interview with "Stephen E Arnold On Search Engine And Intelligence Gathering." A little bit of background about Arnold is that he is an expert specialist in content processing, indexing, online search as well as the author of seven books and monographs. His past employment record includes Booz, Allen, & Hamilton (Edward Snowden was a contractor for this company), Courier Journal & Louisville Times, and Halliburton Nuclear. He worked on the US government's Threat Open Source Intelligence Service and developed a cost analysis, technical infrastructure, and security for the FirstGov.gov.
Singualrity's interview covers a variety of topics and, of course, includes Arnold's direct sense of humor:
"During our 90 min discussion with Stephen E. Arnold we cover a variety of interesting topics such as: why he calls himself lucky; how he got interested in computers in general and search engines in particular; his path from college to Halliburton Nuclear and Booze, Allen & Hamilton; content and web indexing; his who's who list of clients; Beyond Search and the core of intelligence; his Google Trilogy – The Google Legacy (2005), Google Version 2.0 (2007), and Google: The Digital Gutenberg (2009); CyberOSINT and the Dark Web Notebook; the less-known but major players in search such as Recorded Future and Palantir; Big Brother and surveillance; personal ethics and Edward Snowden."
When you listen to the experts in certain fields, you always get a different perspective than what the popular news outlets gives. Arnold offers a unique take on search as well as the future of Internet security, especially the future of the Dark Web.

Old Pals Chatting: IDC Expert Chums Up Cognitive Marketing
May 4, 2016
I recall a fellow named Dave Schubmehl. You may recall that name. He was the IDC wizard who ingested my research about open source outfits and then marketed it via Amazon without my permission. Since that go round with my information used without a written agreement with me, I have taken a skeptical view of IDC and its "experts." I won't comment on its business practices, administrative acumen, and general ineptitude with regard to publishing a bit of my research as an eight page, $3,500 "analysis." Yikes. Eight pages at $3,500 for work pumped out on Amazon, the WalMart of the digital world.
I read, therefore, with considerable skepticism "Interview with Rich Vancil: Group VP, Executive Advisory of IDC." I was not disappointed. Perhaps I should say, my already low expectations were just about met.
The interviewer, according to the interview text, has been an acquaintance of the IDC wizard for decades. Furthermore, the interviewer (obviously an objective type of person) will "meet up to catch up on life outside business." The article is "old pals chatting."
What a chat?
I learned that:
The IDC 3rd Platform is a broad term for our present IT industry and economy. It is where 100% of WW IT revenue growth is coming from and it includes the product categories of Mobile; Social; Cloud, and Big Data. The 3rd Platform is eclipsing the 2nd Platform – described broadly as the "last 30 years" of IT, and this has been mainly enterprise computing: Lan / Internet; Client / Server; and premised based infrastructure such as servers, storage, and licensed software.
A third platform. "Platform" is an interesting word. I get the idea of a Palantir platform. I suppose I can get in sync with the Windows 10 platform. But an IDC platform? Well, that's an idea which would never have floated from the pond filled with mine drainage here in Harrod's Creek.
A consulting firm is in the business of selling information. A platform exists at outfits like Booz, Allen, McKinsey, and Bain. But the notion that a mid tier outfit has had three platforms intrigues me. When I looked at some of the 1917-1918 reports at Booz, Allen when Ellen Shedlarz ran the information center, the format, the tone, the approach, and the word choice was incorporated in the charm school into which new hires were herded. I could, in a moment of weakness, call Booz, Allen's systems and methods a platform. But are the words "systems" and "methods" more appropriate?
The other interesting point in the write up was a nifty new diagram which purports to make clear the third platform confection. I know you won't be able to read the diagram. Buy the report which hopefully is less than the $3,500 slapped on eight pages of my research.
Source: IDC 2016 at this link. If you find the link dead, just buzz up IDC and order document 01517018. The reports based on my research were 236511, 236514, 236086, and 237410. Buy them all for a mere $14,000.
Notice the blobs. Like another mid tier outfit, blobs are better than numbers. The reason fuzziness is a convenient graphic device is that addled geese like me ask questions; for example:
- What data are behind the blobs
- What was the sample size
- Where did the categories come from like "cognitive marketing"?
I have a supposition about the "cognitive" thing. The IDC wizard Dave Schubmehl pumped out lots of tweets about IBM cognitive computing. One IDC executive, prior to seeking a future elsewhere, wrote a book about "cognitive" processes. Both of these IDC experts guzzled the IBM Watson lattes somewhere along the cafeteria line.
Back to the interview among two friends. I learned:
MarTech is a big deal. IDC is doing a very careful accounting of this area and we now account for 78 separate product / service categories and literally thousands of vendors. Like any other emerging and fast growth IT category, consolidation will be inevitable. But in the meantime, it makes for a daunting set of choices for the CMO and team.
I like the word daunting. There is nothing like a list of items which are not grouped in a useful manner to set IDC neural pathways abuzz. But the IDC mavens have cracked the problem. The company has produced a remarkable 2015 technology map. Check this out:
Source: Expert Interview, 2016
I moved forward in the write up. The daunting problem has contributed to what the interviewer describes as "an awesome conference." I like that "awesome" thing. How does the write up conclude? There is a reference to golf, the IDC professional's medical history, and this statement:
The best analysts can simplify, simplify. Analysts who try to impress by using big words and complex frameworks…end up confusing their audience and so they become ineffective.
Remarkable content marketing.

A Partnership or a Sale for Gartner
May 1, 2016
I read an article that confused me. Its title is "Mirum Partners with Forrester to Help Brands Compete with Disruptors like Airbnb and Alibaba." Forrester is a mid tier consulting firm. The outfit lights up my radar with the lightning over waves and the confusion of blobs in its analyses.
Mirum, on the other hand, is a "global digital agency." This evokes images in my mind of ad professionals on the beach in Half Moon Bay watching videographers shoot footage of people riding horses through the surf in an inspired attempt to sell a consumer product. Mirum tells me "never to lose my sense of wonder." Okay. Noted.
Now back to the write up.
Both Forrester and Mirum provide services to other organizations. That means both are consultants moving information around for money. That's a noble pursuit, but the question is, "Who is paying whom?" Did Forrester sell consulting to Mirum? Did Mirum sell consulting to Forrester? Are both just teaming up in order to pump up their revenues with the idea that a small B&B in Camden, Maine, can compete with Airbnb?
I learned:
J. Walter Thompson digital agency Mirum in APAC has announced that it's bringing on board Forrester's Digital Maturity Assessment Tool. The agency believes using the tool will help support its work in trying to help more traditional brands modernize and digitize their businesses, in order to better compete against the new breed of disruptors like Airbnb and Uber.
Ah, ha. A tool. And for which prospects? The answer is Asian markets. Too bad for the B&B in Camden.
My hunch is that Forrester has a service and Mirum is going to try to sell it. I further assume that if and when Mirum makes some sales, both Mirum and Forrester will chop off some of the prime rib.
Why doesn't Forrester market its own products? Why does Forrester use blobs instead of hard analytics in its gentle waves? From Harrod's Creek, it appears that making sales directly might be too hard for the mid tier folks. Hence, a partnership.

The Forrester Wave Becomes Blobs
April 4, 2016
I want you to know that I read this statement attached to the illustration in "Master Data Management: Which MDM Tool Is Right For You?"; to wit:
Unauthorized reproduction, citation , or distribution prohibited.
Okay, none of that, gentle reader. The Forrester Wave has morphed from a knock off of the Eisenhower grid which was reinvented by Boston Consulting Group. The new look is like this:
Remember Psych 101? What do you see? How do you feel about that? What do you mean it looks like a dog's breakfast? Do you love your mother?
Each tinted region denotes a type of Master Data Management classification. The classifications which the mid tier consulting firm generated from a rigorous statistical analysis of the data available to the wizards working on this report are:
- Integration model vendors
- Logical model vendors
- Contextual model vendors
- Analytic model vendors.
I am not sure what the differences in the categories are because I am familiar with some of the outfits in the Master Data Model space and it seems to me that outfits like IBM, Oracle, and others offer a range of Master Data Model services and capabilities. Hey, I don't want to assemble the bits and pieces on offer from IBM into a functioning solution, but I suppose one can.
What companies deliver what function in this Rorschachian analysis?
Integration model, a pale blue horizontal elliptical blob:
- Dell Boomi
- Information Builders
- Microsoft
- Profisee (like prophecy I assume)
- Software AG
- Semarchy
- Teradata
- Tibco (the data bus folks)
Analytic model, a gray circle:
- Novetta
- Reltio
Logical model, a blue gray ellipse which looks like an egg standing on one end:
- Tibco (yep, in two places at once like an entangled particle)
- Software AG (only the "ware AG" makes it into the logical egg thing)
- Information Builders (the "builders" component is logical. Go figure.)
- Teradata (yikes, just the "ata" is logical. Makes sense to the mid tier crowd I assume.)
Contextual model, which looks like a fried egg to me with a context of breakfast:
- Informatica (another outfit which is like a satyr, half one thing and half another)
- Liaison Technologies
- Magnitude Software (the outfit is another entangled MDM provider because it is included in the logical model. Socrates, got that?)
- Orchestra Software (also part of the logical category like a Rap musician who fills in when the the first violin at the London Philharmonic is on holiday).
- Pitney Bowes (the postage meter outfit?)
- Verato
I wish I could reproduce the diagram, but there is that legal threat. A legal threat is one way to make sure that constructive criticism of the blobs is constrained. I suppose my representations of the geometry of the analysis connects the dots for you, gentle reader. If not, the mid tier wizards will explain their "real" intent.
I love the fried egg group. How about some hot cakes with that analysis? Also, no half baked biscuits with that, please.

How Many Types of Big Data Exist?
March 18, 2016
Navigate to "The Five Different Types of Big Data." If you are a student of classification, you will find the categories set forth in this write up an absolute hoot. The author is an expert, I assume, in energy, transportation, food, and data. Oh, goodie. Food.
I have not thought too much about the types of Big Data. I usually think only when a client pays me to perform that function. An example is my analysis of the concept "real time" information. You can find that write up at this link. Big requires me to understand the concept of relative to what. I find this type of thinking uninteresting, but obviously the editors at Forbes find the idea just another capitalist tool.
When I learned that an expert had chased down the types of Big Data, I was and remain confused. "Big" describes something that is relative. "Data" is the plural of datum and refers to more than two facts or statistics, quantities, characters, symbols, etc.
I am not sure what Big Data is, and like many marketing buzzwords, the phrase has become a catchall for vendors of all manner of computer related products and services.
Here are the five types of Big Data.
- Big data. I like the Kurt Friedrich Gödel touch.
- Fast data. "Relative to what?" I ask.
- Dark data. "Darker than what? Is this secret versus un-secret or some other yardstick?" I wonder.
- Lost data. I pose to myself, "Lost as in unknown, known but unknown, or some other Rumsfeldesque state of understanding?"
- New data. I think, "I really don't want to think about what 'new' means? Is this new as in never before seen or Madison Avenue 'new' like an improved Colgate Total toothpaste with whitener.
I like the tag on the article "Recommended by Forbes." Quite an endorsement from a fine example of capitalistic tool analysis.

Text Analytics: Crazy Numbers Just Like the Good Old Days of Enterprise Search
March 16, 2016
Short honk: Want a growth business in a niche function that supports enterprise platforms? Well, gentle reader, look no farther than text analytics. Get your checkbook out and invest in this remarkable sector. It will be huuuuge.
Navigate to "Text Analytics Market to Account for US$12.16 bn in Revenue by 2024." What is text analytics? How big is text analytics today? How long has text analytics been a viable function supporting content processing?
Ah, good questions, but what's really important is this passage:
According to this report, the global text analytics market revenue stood at US$2.82 bn in 2015 and is expected to reach US$12.16 bn by 2024, at a CAGR of 17.6% from 2016 to 2024.
I love these estimates. Imagine. Close out your life savings and invest in text analytics. You will receive a CAGR of 17.6 percent which you can cash in and buy stuff in 2024. That's just eight years.
Worried about the economy? Want to seek the safe shelter of bonds? Forget the worries. If text analytics is so darned hot, why is the consulting firm pitching this estimate writing reports. Why not invest in text analytics?
Answer: Maybe the estimate is a consequence of spreadsheet fever?
Text analytics is a rocket just like the ones Jeff Bezos will use to carry you into space.

A Thought Leader Embraces Mid Tier Consultant Thinking
March 16, 2016
I read "The Hype of Big Data Revisited: It's About Extracting Value." I am not particularly interested in "how big" discussions. What I found interesting was that a through leader reproduced a mid tier consulting firm's Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies, 2015. I thought mid tier outfits were not too keen on having their proprietary charts reproduced. Obviously I am off the beam on this assumption.
I did note this statement:
In between 2013 and 2014, Big Data reached the Peak of Inflated Expectations in Gartner's Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies. By mid 2014, Big Data was sliding into the Trough of Disillusionment, and by 2015, the term was removed from the hype cycle altogether.
More mid tier goodness.
Here's what I learned about the source of this write up:
Bob E. Hayes, PhD is the Chief Research Officer of Analytics Week and president of Business Over Broadway. At Analytics Week, he is responsible for directing research to identify organizational best practices in the areas of Big Data, data science and analytics. He is considered a thought leader in the field of customer experience management. He conducts research on analytics, customer feedback programs, customer experience / satisfaction / loyalty measurement and shares his insights through his talks, blogs and books.
Perhaps the notion of thought leadership and recycling a mid tier consultant firm's viewpoints is the future of deep insight and analysis. Wow, the mid tier consulting firm is a significant influence on some thought leaders.
Too bad the intellectual force does not reach to my part of rural Kentucky. It obviously skips me and works its magic in Bowling Green, the home of the Corvette hole.

Gartner and the Business Intelligence Magic Quadrant: Lots of Explaining, Lots of Subjectivity It Seems
March 13, 2016
I read a downright weird article/interview called "Big Data Discovery may put Oracle back in BI Magic Quadrant." The title contains the magic word "may", which does not promise to make Oracle a big dot in a Gartner Magic Quadrant, but it suggests that Gartner is doing some explaining.
As I understand the situation, the mid tier consulting firm analyzed the business intelligence sector and figured out which companies were winners and losers. Well, that's the lingo that the original Boston Consulting Group quadrant used, and that's how General Eisenhower used his quadrant. So those approaches override the Garnter words like niche players and visionaries. (Is it not possible for a niche player to be a visionary? Does Gartner know "Venn" to check it logic?)
The point of the write up is that Oracle, one of the big dogs in the Department of Defense's DCGS-A and DCGS-N mash up analytics initiative is not in the Garnter magic square thing. Nope. Deleted.
Why may be a question which some folks at Oracle have been asking. The article/interview appears to be an "explainer" to make the Garnter mid tier method appear more near the top drawer in the cabinet of analytics collectibles.
I noted this passage:
Question: It sounds like the change isn't coming from something Oracle did, but from Gartner.
Gartner's R&D Big Dog, Josh Parenteau: Right, OBIEE is still there. It's still being sold as their platform, but it does not meet the modern definition of the Magic Quadrant right now.
The acronym OBIEE means Oracle analytics. You, gentle reader, knew that.
Oracle was excluded because "they didn't fully participate," says Parenteau. He adds:
I do think that they're late to the game by quite a bit… For Oracle, it's recognizing the signals a bit earlier. It's responding to customer needs and, I think, realizing that it's not just about product. You can have the best product in the world, but if customers don't want to work with you because they don't like the relationship, it's not going to matter.
So what companies of note made the Magic Quadrant? Since I don't pay Gartner to advise me, I checked Bing and Google to locate the 2016 Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence. It did not take long, because this MQ report appears to be a marketing item, not a confidential study like a report about the AVATAR program.
Check out these outfits who have met the Gartner criteria, objective and subjective:
- BeyondCore
- Domo
- Logi Analytics
- Platfora
- Sisense
Okay, some names of note.
These outfits made the list as well:
- Microsoft
I highlighted this paragraph as particularly suggestive:
But I would say that, if you are a member of the install base of Oracle, know that they do have offerings in the space. They just didn't have enough traction to get on the quadrant. If you have a big data Hadoop initiative going on, of course look at Big Data Discovery, because that's exactly what it's focused on. If you are looking for a tool to do data discovery, of course look at Visual Analyzer, which is part of the cloud service. If you have an initiative to get into the cloud, look at BICS. I wouldn't say that, just because they're not on the Magic Quadrant, if you're an existing Oracle customer that you shouldn't continue to look at them for solutions. This doesn't mean that they are gone forever or off the MQ forever. It's a transition. We're in a market that is transitioning. Next year, it may be a new ball game.
Very mid tier. I liked the "you shouldn't continue to look at them for solutions." Are those words a positive or a negative? Worth watching the interaction of the Oracle folks at the Gartner experts.

Gartner and Business Intelligence Magic Thing
February 14, 2016
I love consultants, especially mid tier consultants. The idea is that folks who are reasonably pleasant can become experts in various market sectors is a signal that optimism is alive and thriving in a sketchy economic swamp.
The mid tier consultants are a fave. These outfits provide more tradition than the webmaster or Visual Basic programmer who is out of a job. The ease with which one can become a consultant lends a certain squishiness to Lone Rangers offering expertise for hire.
The blue chip outfit are just too expensive for many folks who know they need help. Think of the difference between someone who jets to Lyon for lunch and the person who grabs a slice in Midtown.
Thus, blue chip outfits (the top drawer firms), the azure chip firms (companies either on their way up or down in the expertise Great Chain of Being), and the gray chip folks. The gray chip folks are the disaffected middle school teacher who decides to become a self appointed expert in sponsored content for search engine optimization.
The write up "Critiquing the Gartner BI and Analytics MQ" will not elicit much of a response from the mid tier outfit responsible for the "analysis." Legal eagles slap when the actual quadrant thing is reproduced.
But the write up hits some nerves in the sagging neck of the azure chip services firm; for example:
- Companies excluded for no apparent reason. (Maybe these outfits rejected the azure chip firm's blandishments to buy services and be better understood?)
- A "kitchen sink" approach. (Maybe this means dumping stuff into a container and binge watching Happy Days on Hulu? Stuff breaks when hasty hands place dirty dishes in a sink.)
- Products are mixed up. The example is Design Studio. (Aren't these software components pretty much the same? Sure they are, gentle mid tier consultant getting smart by searching Google for info. Sure they are.)
- Inconsistency. (The write up displays actual, high value, super secret, for some eyes only magic thingies. I looked at each graph and was confused in terms of what was presented and how the classifications changed in the span of one fiscal year. Aren't I the dunce?)
The write up is not about hell fire and brimstone. Here's the peace offering after the carpet bombing:
To be fair on Gartner, they have made a solid effort at explaining their rationale and, given there are some 500 vendors globally, vying for attention, narrowing down to this selection is a valiant effort. The care with which Gartner has made its understanding known is also commendable, even if some of those explanations are questionable. Another problem with the report is that it is static. It is a snapshot at a point in time that is biased in favor of one constituency and which does not, in my view, adequately recognize the necessary and sometimes difficult tensions that exist between IT and lines of business when it comes to rationalizing or consolidating BI tools in an enterprise setting. I think Gartner has done the industry a major favor by decoupling the reporting element and focusing upon the modern approach to BI. But that's not enough.
Maybe another azure chip outfit will leap into this opportunity. A mere 500 vendors. The number seems low to me. I eagerly await the next intellectual semi-truck load of insights from the azure chip sector. Yes, eager am I.

The Key to Revenue? Ads. Predictive Analytics Not So Much
January 16, 2016
I read a darned amazing write up in a marketing blog. First, the story the marketing blog turned into "real news" is a sponsored study. That means an ad. But, even more interesting, the source of the funded study is a mid tier consulting firm. Now you know there are blue chip consulting outfits. I used to work at one and have done consulting projects for other blue chip outfits over the last 40 years. The blue chip outfits are more subtle in their thought leadership, which is one reason why there are blue chip outfits sitting on top of a pile of azure chips and gray chip vendors of expertise.
The second point is that the sponsored study conveniently converted into "real news" is that revenue comes from predicative analytics. Excuse me. But if a company is paid to flog an ad messages, doesn't that mean the revenue comes from advertising or, in this case, clumsy propaganda. If the predictive analytics thing actually worked revenue wonders, wouldn't the mid tier consulting firm use predictive analytics to generate cash? Wouldn't the marketing newsletter use predictive analytics to generate cash?
To see this sponsored content daisy chain in action, navigate to "Forrester Report: Companies Using Predictive Analytics Make More Money." The mid tier outfit in question is Forrester. Is their logo azure tinted? If not, maybe that is a color to consider. None of the stately expensive tie colors required.
The publication recycling the sponsored content as "real" news is Marketing Land. The name says it all, gentle reader.
What is the argument advanced for EverString by Forrester and Marketing Land?
Here's the biggie:
The big takeaway: "Predictive marketing analytics use correlates with better business results and metrics."
That is, compared with those in the survey who do not use predictive analytics (which it calls Retrospective Marketers). "Predictive Marketers," the report notes, "are 2.9x more likely to report revenue growth at rates higher than the industry average." They are also 2.1 times more likely to "occupy a commanding leadership position in the product/service markets they serve" and 1.8 times more likely to "consistently exceed goals when measuring the value their marketing organizations contribute to the business," compared to the Retrospective Marketers in the survey. Forrester analyst Laura Ramos, who was involved in the report, told me the main point is clear: "Predictive analytics pays off."
What froth? The 2.9x suggests real analysis. Sure, sure, I know about waves and magic squares.
There are companies delivering predictive analytics. Some of these outfits have been around for decades. Some of the methods have been known for centuries. I won't remind you, gentle reader, about my wonky relative and his work for the stats guy Kolmogorov.
Suffice it to say that EverString paid Forrester. Forrester directly or indirectly smiled at Marketing Land. The reader learns that predictive analytics generate revenue.
Nope, the money comes from selling ads and, I assume, "influence."
Put that in your algorithm and decide which is better: Selling ads or figuring out how to construct a predictive numerical recipe?
Right. Mid tier firms go the ad route. The folks recycling ads as news grab a ride on the propaganda unicycle.

I have a problem about Linked Lists. I already know how to create structures and linked list. But now I have to create arbitrary number of linked list which are also be kept in another structure. Which means :
struct list{int x, struct list *next; };
struct parent{int x, struct list *head, struct parent *next;}
And after lists are created when i enter this input for example "123134" linked list should look like :
1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4
And for example 1 will contain 2->3 list inside of it, 3 will contain 1->4 list inside of it.
I need a starting point and a spark from you. So how can i do this?

News: Naugler Family, Dillard Mission Trip and Jessa Duggar Seewald Wore Pants
Turns out that the the Naugler parents have regained custody of their ten children from the state of Kentucky. No word on how this happened.

I love it!
First of all, I love call of duty 4, and when I first saw the full title, I thought I would hate it. I was wrong! This is an amazing parody of COD4, and the music made it even better. Good work!
I'm glad I surprised you! Thanks =D
first of all
that was way too fast man, clow down the movie!!! i had to read the stuff afterward to figure out wtf you were talking about on some of them. and we have a cobra down is not a ripoff of blackhawk down retard. what do you think happens when a helicopter crashes. that movie was based on a true event, and this game is supposedto be like one, therefore, they are going to have to be alike. but most of the other stuff i agreed with. nice flash, made me laugh, and yes i did bomb the church and shoot the dog
You make a good point, but I think you misunderstood; and I don't really like you calling me a retard.
First of all, it wasn't my opinion. I saw a topic on it on GameFAQs a few months ago and it stuck in my mind until I came up with the idea to make this Flash. And by 'rip off', I meant it was very reminiscent of the film, whether the developers got inspiration from there or not.
Second, I know Black Hawk Down was based on real life events. I love that movie and mean no offense to either the movie, the soldiers who participated in those horrible events, and Call of Duty 4.
Third of all, calm down. It's a Flash movie; don't like it, then it's fine by me to leave a review, but don't go jumping in calling me a retard. I called Search and Destroy a rip off of Gears of War, but I didn't see you saying "OH NO IT'S REALISTIC BECAUSE WHEN YOU DIE YOU DON'T RESPAWN RETARD!"
Anyway, thanks for reviewing and the high score. I'm glad it made you laugh and you enjoyed it. I'm just somewhat confused with how the beginning of your review is kind of negative and contradicts your last sentence where you say you actually liked it =/
I could seriusly relate to all of this!
It's nice to see responses from fellow Call of Duty 4 players. Thanks for taking the time to review =)
Nice 1
Everything has been explained , and you've written about it in the comment which was good thing to do . I liked it , even this decent graphic made it somewhat funnier and better ;D
Thanks. I always love appreciative reviews! =D
there some funny things in it but some moments are too short for understanding. if there are short jokes they should be understandable in a short time, too. a good thing that you posted the 100 things in yout author comments.
Yeah, originally it was just the list that I'd posted on GameFAQs, and then I turned it into a Flash. I meant for it to be fast paced, but I see where you're coming from, and I guess it is a little too fast. Still, it is a lot slower than the original one, but I couldn't slow down some of the animated parts with out taking away the meaning (when one of the soldiers in the helicopter was sucked out of it during the nuclear explosion, for example - when I slowed that down he just looked like he was floating out).
Still, I thank you for reviewing, and will slow down if ever I make another similar Flash (doubtful though) =)

Good 3.4 /5 from 698 reviews
For Business trip i think very good place, its close to everywhere 24 hours life, food..
There were neon lights across the street and no full curtains in the room to block out the light - seems like an easy thing to fix. Otherwise the room was ok - not fancy, but did the job. Breakfast was good.
Just an overnight stay to see Christmas market. Hotel comfortable enough. But breakfast and WiFi cost extra.
Short but sweet...very good Value for an Overnight necessity
This hotel was dreary, smelly and dated. And no free wifi
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Flexible working hours lead to lonelier life?
While Hong Kong has the longest working week in the world, some European countries, in order to keep employees happy, are shifting to shorter workdays and offering flexible work arrangements.However, people may enjoy less leisure time with friends and family if everyone has a different work schedule – is this what we are looking for?
Tightening backdoor listings: Can it curb speculative trading effectively?
In view of possible speculation around backdoor listings, an alternative means of going public on a stock exchange, the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing issued a new directive to regulate shell companies. Is this effective enough to avoid speculative trading and maintain market quality?
Mass participation: A new approach in running a political party
What does a political party that opens up its decision making process look like? Look no further than the New Power Party in Taiwan or Podemos in Spain. Both have been advocating for running a political party from the 'bottom-up', such as involving the public in deciding party policy or choosing candidates to run in elections. What are the results?
Unhappy with the preset public holidays? Have it your way!
Hong Kong employees may prefer annual leaves to public holidays because the latter might fall on a Saturday. If all public holidays are replaced by annual leaves, allowing workers to establish their own holiday schedules, what are the benefits and drawbacks?
Does appearance have an effect on vote share in the District Council elections?
The Bauhinia Foundation Research Centre (the Centre) released on June 29th, 2016 a new edition of Occasional Paper "Candidate Appearance and Vote Share in Hong Kong", which discusses the findings of the Centre's trial study on District Council candidates and the impact of candidate appearance on vote share.

Stayed here for 2 nights in September 2012, booked since travelling on business and wanted to be close to Victoria (10 mins) and Airport (5~10 mins).
Not a beach hotel, though has a small pool with view of marina, but perfectly good if staying for business or transiting through Mahe.
Reception welcome and staff very pleasant on arrival and throughout. Shame can't say same for the restaurant where the staff (plenty of them) who spent their time talking to each other and generally ignoring guests; when they did tend to requests they appeared less than eager and willing.
Only two issues;
No room safe... two in my room but neither worked, and duty manager said he knew, none worked and while reception have one you can use its very small... annoying especially at he room rate!
Poor and expensive (SR100 for 2 hrs) Wifi connection - i was on mountain view side of building.
Overall very clean, good size rooms, in good repair; would consider using again for the convenience.

Beautiful Vacation Home
This place was amazing. Beautiful view to wake up to and to go to bed to. The pool was a definite amenity for our group. The house and accommodations was great. Could have used a few more mixing bowls and baking pans, only for those that have to cook every night. I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it for any one wishing to have a tropical scenery, and the convienience of shopping, dining, boating or just relaxing by the pool.

Activity and Interests
Marathon offers many water themed activities for your vacation guests.
Nowhere else in the US can you tour a fully operational Turtle Hospital where they rescue, rehab, and release sick and injured sea turtles offer educational tours of their unique facility 3 times per day. This is a must do while in Marathon on vacation.
Marathons newest gem is Aquarium Encounters as seen on the TV show Tanked. At Florida Keys Aquarium Encounters attractions revolve around their unique aquarium encounters. You can get up close and personal with Sharks, Stingrays and all the other sea life typically found on the Florida Keys Coral Reefs. So much more than an aquarium this venue is a destination to see, touch and learn about the unique marine life in the Florida Keys.
Sombrero Beach is a free public beach located near mile marker 50 or if you drive to the other end of the famed Seven Mile Bridge you can visit Bahia Honda a Fabulous state park.
Get in touch with Nature at Crane Point Hammock & Museum. The Museum of Natural History provides visitors with interesting and educational interpretative displays of local wildlife, marine life, dioramas and dramatic exhibits featuring artifacts and objects of cultural interest. Tour the Nature Trails, visit the Wild Bird Center, or take a guided Kayak tour.
Walk, bike or roller blade down the famed Seven mile bridge and see how many different species of marine life you can identify along the way.
Rent bikes, paddle boards or kayaks and have them delivered to your vacation rental home.
Or perhaps you want to take a snorkel or dive trip on one of the many charters to Coffins Patch or Sombrero lighthouse marine sanctuaries where you will feel like you are on an Caribbean Island.
If you didn't bring your boat there are plenty of boats and captains for hire to take you fishing for sharks, tarpon, bonefish, dolphin, tuna or sailfish.
If nightlife is your thing take a trip down to Key West to take in the magic of sunset on Duvall Street or sample the many culinary delights.
Fort Jefferson is another must do day trip out of Key West into the Dry Tortugas.
n Marathon you can do as much or as little as you like. If this all sounds too stressful perhaps catching up with your favorite novel poolside with a Margarita in hand better describes your perfect vacation.
Whatever you vacation dreams Coco Plum Vacation Rental homes have the perfect place for you to make your dream into a Keys Reality!

New Jersey is the fourth smallest state in the nation, located in the Northeastern and Middle Atlantic regions of the U. S. "The Garden State" is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, Pennsylvania, New York, and Delaware. Northwestern New Jersey is a rural, mountainous region. The interior south is mostly pine and oak forest. The coastal area has its own lifestyle characterized by the ocean.
New Jersey's proximity to New York City, Boston, and Washington D. C. contributed to the state's growth in the 20th century. New Jersey's climate is warm in the summer and cool in the winter, and the state occasionally experiences extreme weather in the form of nor'easters and blizzards or tropical storm and hurricanes. The state capital, Trenton, once briefly served as the nation's capital in 1784. Some notable people from New Jersey include John Travolta, Frank Sinatra, Meryl Streep, and Jon Bon Jovi.
Atlantic City is sometimes referred to as the "Las Vegas of the East." The city began as a quiet fishing town, but today is best known as a seaside resort featuring sandy beaches and a wide variety of entertainment and attractions. In 1870, the Boardwalk, a five and a half mile long, 60 foot wide seafront promenade, was built, and since then, it has become a popular destination offering restaurants, boutiques, and entertainment venues. On the Boardwalk, you will find the Entrance to the Stars, Atlantic City's version of Hollywood's Walk of Fame with handprints from stars such as Johnny Carson, Cher, Stevie Wonder, and Frank Sinatra.
Another must see attraction on the Boardwalk is the Steel Pier, an old amusement park on a pier akin to New York's Coney Island. A little further down is another old pier, Ocean One, which highlights a spectacular musical fountain. Ocean City is a similar but alcohol-free destination with more of the best beaches around at just 11 miles south of Atlantic City. It also features a picturesque boardwalk and entertainment district, along with the Ocean City Historical Museum which displays artifacts from the city's early history.
We used Allied once before. We were suppose to have 3 crates for the Pool Table and other items and the crates did not show up. The truck was too small.
You are 1 for 3 on my moves. The last two have been excellent. The last two have been tens. The one before that was a five.
I have had 2 moves in the last year with Allied. The first one, I had some issues and the second one was great.
I have already recommended Allied. We've told all of our friends. We were thrilled with the move. It was a fabulous move. The two movers were awesome. They couldn't have been nicer. The rep and I communicated by e-mail. Our things went into storage. We were totally satisfied with everything they did.
The interaction with the people that prepared my goods was good & They preformed the move in a timely manner.
The communication was good. He was great. The driver & crew was pleasant & helpful. The coordinator was great.
Everything went very smoothly with the move. Allied met every need that I had & accommodated my schedule from the packing to the unpacking. The coordinator Natalie did and driver did a great job.
Communication was good and I was kept informed. The driver was professional and prompt. Everything was done as promised.
The driver and the packers were very helpful and it is kind of hard for me and my husband to get around and because the driver went the extra I was able to pick the bedroom my bed would fit into.
Allied was excellent all around. I have moved several times and have never had so much consideration and accuracy.
The person that I dealt with dealing with the coordinating was great, her name was Linda Mitchell. Everything went very smoothly and perfect.
