Impossible d’être fauché si vous avez un smartphone: Comment transformer votre téléphone en source de revenus
by Dave McAllenArrêtez d’entraver votre réussite financière. Vous ne pouvez être fauché si vous possédez un smartphone. En ce qui concerne l’argent, le revenu, les privilèges, les parcours et compétences individuelles, ou le chômage, un nombre sans cesse croissant de gens se retrouvent à rejeter la faute, ou à l’avoir fait récemment, au gouvernement ou à la conjoncture. Nonobstant cette exacerbation sans précédent, l’action protestataire définie comme revendication inexprimée ou juste moyen d’attirer l’attention, relève de raisonnements absurdes datant du siècle dernier, en plus d’être une stratégie dépassée. Cette remise en cause, tant de l’action protestataire que de ses auteurs par Dave McAllen, offre une perspective nouvelle, radicale et révolutionnaire, en faisant valoir que la pleurnicherie au sujet de votre sort n’a pas droit de cité à notre ère numérique, tout le monde étant en possession d’un smartphone. Il offre ici quelques exemples d’activités rentables faisables depuis votre smartphone et montre comment cette façon de voir les choses est l’antidote qui vous fera arrêter d’entraver votre réussite financière. Alors, apprenez ce qui fait de vous l’entrave à votre réussite.
No puedes ser pobre si tienes un dispositivo Android: Convierte tu teléfono Android en una verdadera máquina de hacer dinero
by Dave McAllenDeja de detenerte usted mismo. No puedes ser pobre si tienes un dispositivo Android. Más personas que nunca se ven a sí mismas como quejándose o recuperándose de una queja, ya sea contra el gobierno o las circunstancias, sobre el dinero, los ingresos, los privilegios, los antecedentes, habilidades o falta de trabajo. Pero a pesar del aumento sin precedentes, nuestra entendimiento de la queja está atrapado en un razonamiento infundado del siglo pasado, la queja como una protesta silenciosa o como un medio para llamar la atención, y también constituye una estrategia obsoleta. Desafiando tanto la idea de tales quejosos, Dave McAllen, ofrece una nueva perspectiva radical e innovadora, argumentando que quejarse de la suerte de uno en la vida no es válido en nuestra era digital, con casi todos en posesión de un teléfono Android. Ofrece algunos ejemplos de lo que puede hacer con su teléfono y ganar dinero y muestra cómo ver las cosas de esta manera puede evitar que se detenga en el camino hacia el éxito. Entonces, aprenda por qué él dice que el obstáculos para tu éxito eres tú mismo.

DNO the SEO Revolution: A Detailed Guide for Achieving Permanent Page-One Rankings for Under $100
by Robert McAndersonThe total number of searches conducted across all search engines in 2011, will exceed 300 Billion and will cost companies competing for these page-one listings in excess of 50 Billion Dollars. DNO the SEO Revolution is a how-to-guide for achieving Permanent page-one rankings for under $100. This one extraordinarily simple idea will shatter traditional SEO concepts allowing every reader the opportunity to gain multiple Page One Rankings. I know because I have achieved multiple rankings for my own company and a select number of customers who participated in our trials. Achieving the top three listings on Page One of Google for under $100 is an amazing accomplishment but for them to be permanently listed and not be under threat from competitors who are prepared to pay more for the ranked position is extraordinary. The use of SEO, PPC and SEM to achieve a Page One Google Ranking are expensive but more importantly they offer no permanency. Keyword auctions that encourage competitors to pay a higher price for the number one ranked position are insane and it is time to do things differently. Remember Einstein said, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.” Act now before your competitor does or face the consequences of their domination over you.

Contemporary Issues in Exploratory Data Mining in the Behavioral Sciences: Contemporary Issues In Exploratory Data Mining In The Behavioral Sciences (Quantitative Methodology Series)
by John J. McArdle Gilbert RitschardThis book reviews the latest techniques in exploratory data mining (EDM) for the analysis of data in the social and behavioral sciences to help researchers assess the predictive value of different combinations of variables in large data sets. Methodological findings and conceptual models that explain reliable EDM techniques for predicting and understanding various risk mechanisms are integrated throughout. Numerous examples illustrate the use of these techniques in practice. Contributors provide insight through hands-on experiences with their own use of EDM techniques in various settings. Readers are also introduced to the most popular EDM software programs. A related website at http://mephisto.unige.ch/pub/edm-book-supplement/offers color versions of the book’s figures, a supplemental paper to chapter 3, and R commands for some chapters. The results of EDM analyses can be perilous – they are often taken as predictions with little regard for cross-validating the results. This carelessness can be catastrophic in terms of money lost or patients misdiagnosed. This book addresses these concerns and advocates for the development of checks and balances for EDM analyses. Both the promises and the perils of EDM are addressed. Editors McArdle and Ritschard taught the "Exploratory Data Mining" Advanced Training Institute of the American Psychological Association (APA). All contributors are top researchers from the US and Europe. Organized into two parts--methodology and applications, the techniques covered include decision, regression, and SEM tree models, growth mixture modeling, and time based categorical sequential analysis. Some of the applications of EDM (and the corresponding data) explored include: selection to college based on risky prior academic profiles the decline of cognitive abilities in older persons global perceptions of stress in adulthood predicting mortality from demographics and cognitive abilities risk factors during pregnancy and the impact on neonatal development Intended as a reference for researchers, methodologists, and advanced students in the social and behavioral sciences including psychology, sociology, business, econometrics, and medicine, interested in learning to apply the latest exploratory data mining techniques. Prerequisites include a basic class in statistics.

Managing Projects in the Real World
by Melanie McbrideManaging Projects in the Real World provides clear and actionable advice to project managers for recognizing, anticipating, and overcoming challenges associated with the human component of leading others. The mechanics of project management are rational and straightforward to learn. The art of project management is irrational and complex to learn. Project managers need to develop a repertoire of soft skills that are typically hard for them, since they rose through the ranks to that position by virtue of superior reasoning skills. But if a project manager cannot adjudicate the clash of personalities, finesse the friction between assigned and preferred roles, steer clear of hidden hazards, and diplomatically resolve overlapping assertions of competing authority--that project manager is in a world of trouble. From the human perils of project management, nobody is better qualified to rescue beleaguered project managers than Melanie McBride--veteran PM and author of the Intel blog, The Accidental Profession. She sheds light on those dark, dusty places that fall between the cracks of theory and best practice out in the real world where irate colleagues, unrealistic product launch dates, and virtual meetings reign supreme and run amok. In this book you'll find targeted discussions and specific techniques to empower you to meet the challenges that project managers face every day. The book is structured into project phases to help any project manager on any kind of project jump right to the tried and true solution for the challenge at hand. What you'll learn After reading Managing Projects in the Real World: The Tips and Tricks No One Tells You About When You Start, project managers will know: How to execute basic project management tasks such as building dynamic schedules, developing risk management plans, holding others accountable, and conducting effective meetings. How to navigate the tricky bits, such as unrealistic due dates and virtual meetings with multitasking attendees. How to communicate effectively with project stakeholders and manage their expectations and different communication styles. How to deal with stakeholders with classically difficult personas, such as bullies, micromanagers, visionaries, and prisoners. How to continually improve in your PM craft and decision-making abilities. Who this book is for Primary: project, program, and product managers Secondary: any team leader or director Table of Contents How to Figure Out What's Really Going On Effective Meetings in The Real World Team Building The "Special" Ones You Have to Do the Work How to Develop a Robust Schedule How To Say "No" to Unrealistic Target Dates A Special Case: Planning for the Holiday Season Leadership Showtime Decision Making Presenting Project Updates Stakeholder Management Communicating with Difficult People Is Your Team Ready to Release Leading When the Music Stops You Really Ought to Be Doing This Is Project Management Right for You?

Living the Stories We Create: Preparing Students for the Digital Age (SpringerBriefs in Education)
by Ellen McCabeThis work explores the potential of digital media to rectify the disparity between formal learning contexts and contemporary perceptions and expectations of narrative. How can education systems respond to the changing technological landscape, thus preparing students to become active participants in society as well as to realise the extent of their own potential? This book explores such concepts in the classroom environment through direct engagement with students and teachers with the case of Shakespeare's Macbeth. Written in approximately 1606, Macbeth has its roots in a culture of orality and yet has sustained through centuries of print dominance. Indeed, as both text and performance the work itself embodies both the literary and the oral. Yet as a staple of many second level curricula increasingly Macbeth is perceived as an educational text. Macbeth reflects its cultural moment, an age of ambiguity where much like today notions of selfhood, privacy, societal structures, media and economy were being called into question. Thus Macbeth can be understood as a microcosm of the challenges existing in contemporary education in both content and form. This book examines Macbeth as a case-study in seeking to explore the implications of digital media for learning, as well as its possible potential to constructively facilitate in realigning formal learning contexts to contemporary experiences of narrative.
