DAVID MEERMAN SCOTT FOREWORD here used to be only three ways to generate attention for your business: buy expensive T advertising, beg the mainstream media to tell your story for you, or hire a huge sales staff to bug people individually about your products. Now we have a better option: publishing interesting content on the web that your buyers are eager to consume—what many call Inbound Marketing. Online success comes from thinking like a publisher, this report will help you do that. For many organisations, reaching buyers with inbound marketing content has a powerful, less obvious effect: content brands an organisation as a leader in their market. Instead of just directly selling something, a great site or blog tells the world that you are smart, that you understand the market very well, and that you might be a person or a company that would be valuable to do business with. If you’re already using Inbound Marketing, these pages will show you how to refine and improve. If you’re new to Inbound Marketing, this report will set you on the right track. David Merrman Scott Marketing Strategist and bestselling author of The New Rules of Marketing and PR 01 THE STATE OF INBOUND MARKETING KEY FINDINGS As we’ve combed through a couple of decimal places between final placement in the thousands of blogs, websites and runnings.

Sharegate scored highest for their blog in our ranking - a whopping 9.2 out of 10. Nutanix reigned supreme in 2016 on Twitter and led the way with an impressive score of 8.9.

  • On “Strict Machine” by Goldfrapp

    On “Strict Machine” by Goldfrapp

    On “Strict Machine” by Goldfrapp Sam Jowett Four months, fifteen days in. Honeymoon Phase meant to mellow out. Passion ought to neutralize. But how fucking wrong is that. Chrysalis shredding—not just clothes—but those thoughts. True selves emerge. Polyester veneer of politeness is now scraped clean. Goldfrapp The culprit: a single nail, obsidian sharp. Goldfrapp’s satin clad, ebony-gloved fingers. Needle digs into vinyl. You dig into my skin. “Wonderful Electriccccccc.” The lyric “Strict Machine” sashays over the bridge. We saunter past discarded inhibitions. The chorus awaits, an Black Cherry eruption with a single revelation: 04/2003 I’m in love! Mute I’m in love! I’m in love! “Felt Mountain,” their debut, was the bait. But just like us, hints flirted beneath the cabaret instrument gloss. Even masquerades can only hide appearances for so long. A truth awaited. Not to be whispered, but rather gasped aloud. “Strict Machine” dictates: Dressed in white noise. Little else. This is the inverse of a sophomore slump. Former trip-hop ambience is usurped by electroclash riptide. Siren synths draw us closer. Entrapping me to you. Lyrics our parents warned us about. Trent Reznor wishes he could be this lethal. Dance. It does not ask. It demands. Sitting is heresy. Head thrashing, body sweating. This is not some damn waltz. Hands do not clasp in graceful arcs. Rather, bodies meet perpendicular. Entwine inversely. Arms twist. Disorientation until we can’t tell each other apart. You tell me you can tie cherry stems with your tongue. I tell you I can whisper “Black Cherry” nothings into your ear.

This is the largest EACL meeting ever: with eighty long papers, almost fifty short ones, thirteen student research papers, twenty-six demos, fourteen workshops and six tutorials, we expect to bring to Gothenburg up to five hundred participants, for a week of excellent science interspersed with entertaining social events. It is hard to imagine how much work is involved in the preparation of such an event. It takes about three years, from the day the EACL board starts discussing the location and nominating the chairs, until the final details of the budget are resolved. The number of people involved is also huge, and I was fortunate to work with an excellent, dedicated and efficient team, to which I am enormously grateful. The scientific program was very ably composed by the Program Committee Chairs, Sharon Goldwater and Stefan Riezler, presiding over a team of twenty-four area chairs.
  • Deriving Practical Implementations of First-Class Functions

    Deriving Practical Implementations of First-Class Functions

    Deriving Practical Implementations of First-Class Functions ZACHARY J. SULLIVAN This document explores the ways in which a practical implementation is derived from Church’s calculus of _-conversion, i.e. the core of functional programming languages today like Haskell, Ocaml, Racket, and even Javascript. Despite the implementations being based on the calculus, the languages and their semantics that are used in compilers today vary greatly from their original inspiration. I show how incremental changes to Church’s semantics yield the intermediate theories of explicit substitutions, operational semantics, abstract machines, and compilation through intermediate languages, e.g. CPS, on the way to what is seen in modern functional language implementations. Throughout, a particular focus is given to the effect of evaluation strategy which separates Haskell and its implementation from the other languages listed above. 1 INTRODUCTION The gap between theory and practice can be a large one, both in terms of the gap in time between the creation of a theory and its implementation and the appearance of ideas in one versus the other. The difference in time between the presentation of Church’s _-calculus—i.e. the core of functional programming languages today like Haskell, Ocaml, Racket—and its mechanization was a period of 20 years. In the following 60 years till now, there has been further improvements in both the efficiency of the implementation, but also in reasoning about how implementations are related to the original calculus. To compute in the calculus is flexible (even non-deterministic), but real machines are both more complex and require restrictions on the allowable computation to be tractable.

    EDGE New York City :: Gay New York City :: Nightlife :: Gay Bars, Gay Clubs, Lesbian Bars, Lesbian ... Page 1 of 2 Nightlife Features MattUnleashed on Nightlife :: Bananarama or Goldfrapp? by Matt Kalkhoff EDGE Nightlife Contributor Thursday May 18, 2006 On Tuesday night, I had to pick between an in-store CD signing at the Columbus Circle Borders where Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward were celebrating the U.S. release of their new album, "Drama" (which is excellent, by the way) or an in-studio mini-concert by Goldfrapp in Tribeca that was to be broadcast live on Seattle’s KEXP radio station and website. As much as I love Bananarama (yes, they’re still recording, but it was just an appearance, no Bananarama signed CDs at Columbus Circle Borders performance), I think I Tuesday night. made the right decision by going with that other English dame. After a lovely little happy hour excursion (see below), we made our way over to Gigantic Studios at Franklin and Broadway to catch Goldfrapp perform live. Shortly after 8:00 about 20 of us were ushered up to the 4th floor and into a very tiny room where we stood about 8 feet from Alison & Co., separated only by a large sound-proof window. An interview with a KEXP personality split the four-song set, which included "Number 1," "Ooh La La" and two other selections from the "Supernature" CD. I was hoping to hear some older hits like "Strict Machine" as well, but alas, it wasn’t meant to be. (I’m sure they performed that one and others at their Irving Plaza concert the previous night, though.) Granted, there wasn’t a whole lot she could do in that cramped, carpeted space with all the equipment and several band members surrounding her, but the diminutive diva looked and sounded terrific, sporting a simple black number, retro-fab blond locks and some serious shades that were either shielding her from the blinding studio lights or covering up evidence of whatever post-concert partying might have gone on the night before.

    The Ultimate Playlist This List Comprises More Than 3000 Songs (Song Titles), Which Have Been Released Between 1931 and 2018, Ei

    The Ultimate Playlist This list comprises more than 3000 songs (song titles), which have been released between 1931 and 2021, either as a single or as a track of an album. However, one has to keep in mind that more than 300000 songs have been listed in music charts worldwide since the beginning of the 20th century [web: http://tsort.info/music/charts.htm].

    Towards Automatic Face Recognition in Unconstrained Scenarios

    Towards Automatic Face Recognition in Unconstrained Scenarios von Muhammad Saquib Sarfraz Von der Fakultät IV- Elektrotechnik und Informatik der Technische Universität Berlin zur Erlangung des akadamischen Grades Doktor der Ingenieurwissenschaften -Dr.-Ing.- genehmigte Dissertation Promotionsausschuss: Vorsitzender: Prof. Dr. Opper Gutachter: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Olaf Hellwich Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Felix Wichmann Tag der wissenschaftliche Aussprache: 30 September 2008 Berlin 2008 D 83 Zusammenfassung Gesichtserkennung als aktiver Forschungsbereich der letzten zwei Jahrzehnte stellt immer noch viele Herausforderungen dar. Aktuelle Gesichtserkennungs-Systeme liefern nur befriedigende Ergebnisse unter kontrollierten Bedingungen. Die Erkennungsgenauigkeit lässt signifikant nach, wenn sie mit Änderungen von Blickwinkel, Beleuchtung und Fehlausrichtung konfrontiert werden. Das Hauptziel dieser Dissertation ist das Erforschen und Entwickeln neuer Methoden für ein vollautomatisches Gesichtserkennungs-System, welches in unkontrollierten Umgebungen arbeiten kann. Im ersten Teil wird eine Merkmalsbeschreibung eingeführt, die robuster als ein pixel- basierter Ansatz ist. Sie ist invariant bezüglich Fehlausrichtung bei nicht perfekter Lokalisierung der Gesichter. Für die Mehrbild-Gesichtserkennung wird ein vollständiger Leistungsvergleich verschiedener Klassifikatoren in unterschiedlichen Merkmalsräumen präsentiert. Viele neue Ansätze befürworten die Berechnung von künstlichen Bildern aus verschiedenen Ansichten für ein gegebenes Gesichtsbild, um eine betrachtungsinvariante
