At Horace Mann School science is a vital part of the curriculum, as it has always been.

    Agricultural Value Added Services (Agri VAS): Market Entry Toolkit Authors: Amol Jadhav, Natalia Pshenichnaya and Fiona Smith, GSMA mAgri Programme. Contents 3—4 Introduction 5—9 Chapter 1 Market Opportunity 10—16 Chapter 2 Market Assessment and User Needs 17—21 Chapter 3 Marketing 22—30 Chapter 4 Service Design 31—38 Chapter 5 Commercial Model and Business Case for Agri VAS 39 Glossary GSMA — mAgri Programme 3 Market Entry Toolkit - Agri VAS Introduction The furious growth of mobile in developing countries, and rural regions in particular, presents a landmark opportunity to deliver critical, information-based agricultural services to rural poor smallholder farmers. There are over 2.3 billion people living in poverty and the majority earn their primary livelihood from small farms in developing countries. The yields of these farmers, especially those in sub-Saharan Africa, typically represent a fifth of those in the developed world. There is a raft of reasons for this, one of which is a lack of access to relevant and actionable agricultural information. Yet this problem is eminently superable. The right information, absorbed and applied correctly, can double or triple productivity in many of these households. Mobile is the leapfrog technology that allows us to complement existing extension efforts by stepping up and meeting this information need. About the Authors This document was written by members of the GSMA mAgri Programme. The GSM Association represents the interests of mobile operators worldwide and within this, the GSMA Development Fund works to identify opportunities in emerging markets for social, economic and environmental impact through mobile services.

  • Die Tragoedie Des Gumball 3000
    32 REPORTAGE Juni 2007 Loop-Magazin 133 REPORTAGE Juni 2007 Loop-Magazin 133 33 London-Amsterdam-Frankfurt-Istanbul-Athen-Tirana-Bratislava-Berlin-London. So lautete die für 2007 geplante Route des Gumball 3000, des größten“illegalen“ Straßenrennens der Welt. Doch nach einem tödlichen Unfall wurde die Rallye nach vier Tagen abgesagt, die Teilnehmer nach Hause geschickt. Wahrscheinlich zum letzten Mal. Der Traum von der totalen Dominanz der Straße entpuppte sich als ein riskantes Spiel mit dem Tod. Neben 100 Supercars und 200 Millionären fuhren auch Loop-Autor Jan Wilms und Loop-Fotograf Johannes Wyneken mit auf diesem adrenalingetränkten Höllentrip. ZWISCHEN Es war ein grandioser Schuljungentraum. Organisiert von dem charismatischen Lon- doner Millionärssohn Maximillion Cooper, zum Leben erweckt durch hunderte aben- TRIUMPH UND TOD teuerlustige Bonvivants mit schnellen Autos und dem nötigen Kleingeld. Jedes Jahr im Mai traf man sich zum Gumball 3000, die Strecken führten durch Europa, Ameri- ka, Asien und Afrika- seit 1999 gibt es diese Tradition mit Start und Ziel in London. DIE TRAGOEDIE Prominente wie Adrien Brody, Johnny Knoxville und Placebo traten hier schon aufs Pedal, 2007 starteten an der Celebrity-Front Jamiroquais Jay Kay, Rapper Xzibit und Supermodel Caprice. Doch in diesem Jahr waren die Götter der triumphal vor 50.000 DES GUMBALL 3000 Zuschauern in der Londoner Pall Mall gestarteten Rallye nicht geneigt: Nach Stra- ßenblockaden der deutschen Polizei am ersten und einem Einreiseverbot für die Autos in Istanbul am zweiten Tag kam es zum größten anzunehmenden Unfall: Nick Morley, 30 Jahre alt und Bruder eines britischen Immobilienmaklers, zerquetschte mit seinem 510 PS starken TechArt-Porsche in Mazedonien den Golf eines einheimi- schen Ehepaars und tötete beide Insassen.

  • Piracy Or Productivity: Unlawful Practices in Anime Fansubbing
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Aaltodoc Publication Archive Aalto-yliopisto Teknillinen korkeakoulu Informaatio- ja luonnontieteiden tiedekunta Tietotekniikan tutkinto-/koulutusohjelma Teemu Mäntylä Piracy or productivity: unlawful practices in anime fansubbing Diplomityö Espoo 3. kesäkuuta 2010 Valvoja: Professori Tapio Takala Ohjaaja: - 2 Abstract Piracy or productivity: unlawful practices in anime fansubbing Over a short period of time, Japanese animation or anime has grown explosively in popularity worldwide. In the United States this growth has been based on copyright infringement, where fans have subtitled anime series and released them as fansubs. In the absence of official releases fansubs have created the current popularity of anime, which companies can now benefit from. From the beginning the companies have tolerated and even encouraged the fan activity, partly because the fans have followed their own rules, intended to stop the distribution of fansubs after official licensing. The work explores the history and current situation of fansubs, and seeks to explain how these practices adopted by fans have arisen, why both fans and companies accept them and act according to them, and whether the situation is sustainable. Keywords: Japanese animation, anime, fansub, copyright, piracy Tiivistelmä Piratismia vai tuottavuutta: laittomat toimintatavat animen fanikäännöksissä Japanilaisen animaation eli animen suosio maailmalla on lyhyessä ajassa kasvanut räjähdysmäisesti. Tämä kasvu on Yhdysvalloissa perustunut tekijänoikeuksien rikkomiseen, missä fanit ovat tekstittäneet animesarjoja itse ja julkaisseet ne fanikäännöksinä. Virallisten julkaisujen puutteessa fanikäännökset ovat luoneet animen nykyisen suosion, jota yhtiöt voivat nyt hyödyntää. Yhtiöt ovat alusta asti sietäneet ja jopa kannustaneet fanien toimia, osaksi koska fanit ovat noudattaneet omia sääntöjään, joiden on tarkoitus estää fanikäännösten levitys virallisen lisensoinnin jälkeen.

    KINNEY ZALESNE 2008 TCG National Conference June 12, 2008 “microtrends: the small forces behind tomorrow’s big changes” Kinney Zalesne SUSAN BOOTH My job is to introduce our first speaker and before I do, I want to let you know that after she’s done speaking, we are going to have about fifteen minutes for some Q&A, so store away those questions. She would be more than happy to respond to them after her remarks. It is a great pleasure to kick off our time together with Kinney Zalesne. She is the co-author, with Mark Penn, of Microtrends: The Small Forces Behind Tomorrow’s Big Changes. Kinney Zalesne is an authority on small communities and social entrepreneurship. With Mr. Penn, she worked on the 1996 Clinton/Gore election campaign and provided strategy for Senator Clinton’s presidential bid. She was a White House fellow in Al Gore’s office, focusing on domestic policy and education technology. She worked as counsel to attorney general Janet Reno in the mid-90’s. And here’s what’s cool: she left all of that to become president of College Summit, a not-for-profit that helps low-income school districts send kids to college. She’s a graduate of both Yale University and Harvard Law School and it’s my delight to welcome to the stage Kinney Zelesne. [Applause] KINNEY ZALESNE Thank you very much Susan and Kent and Teresa and all of you for having me here. What Susan didn’t tell you about my biography is really what’s most important to me is that in Junior High, I was quite the actress.

  • Just 1% the Power of Microtrends by Mark Penn & E. Kinney Zalesne
    Just 1% The Power of Microtrends By Mark Penn & E. Kinney Zalesne Info NEXT An Introduction to Microtrends In 1960, Volkswagen shook up the car world with a full-page ad containing just two words: THINK SMALL. It was revolutionary—a call for the shrinking of perspective in an era when success was all about gain, even when you were just driving down the street. America never quite got used to small when it came to cars. But ask two-thirds of America, and they’ll tell you they work for small business. We yearn for the lifestyles of small-town America. Many of the biggest movements in America today are small—hidden, for just a few to see. Microtrends is based on the idea that the most powerful forces in our society are the emerging, counter-intuitive trends shaping tomorrow right before us. With so much focus on poverty as the cause of terrorism, it is hard to see that it is richer, educated terrorists who have been behind many of the attacks. With so much attention to big, organized religion, it is hard to see that it is newer, small sects that are the fastest-growing. But small choices have redefined society. We used to live in the “Ford economy,” where workers created one black car, over and over, for thousands of consumers. Now we live in the “Starbucks economy,” where workers create thousands of different cups of coffee, for individual customers. That explosion of choice has, in turn, created hundreds of small, intense communities defining themselves in new ways.
