How Steve Glue made 4 Million giving the people what they wanted by beating the system; and how Pez ran him out of the business. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is... Well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So here's one of those. [ASAP Commercial Doors Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast, Dave Young here with Stephen Semple and part two of the PEZ story. We're going to talk about the PEZ collectibles, the whole frenzy. Stephen, I'm going to turn it over to you because I'm fascinated with this. I did just 30 seconds worth of Googling, and yeah, there are PEZ dispensers that are worth bucks out there. Stephen Semple: And the whole collectibles and the PEZ story is crazy. And as we know, the '90s is when this whole idea of collectibles just took off. You had Swatch watches come onto the market, and in fact, stay tuned, we're going to do an episode on Swatch. Swatch is probably going to end up becoming one of my favorite all time stories. So Swatch is going to be coming up. Because as I was going down this whole collectibles thing, it opens other doors. But you had Beanie Babies and you had Pokemon, and of course, PEZ. And PEZ is so popular that it ended up being on the cover of the Forbes magazine edition on collectibles. And people who collect PEZ dispensers call themselves PEZ heads. And one of the biggest people in the space is a guy whose name is Stephen Glew, who's also known as the PEZ Outlaw. Dave Young: The Pez Outlaw. Stephen Semple: The PEZ Outlaw. You're immediately intrigued, aren't you? Dave Young: Oh, sure. Stephen Semple: And Steve Glew is a machine operator from Michigan, and he started doing collectibles as a side hustle. And he started by collecting cereal boxes. So he would go to the local recycling plant and clip the coupons and ask for the toy to send them, things like those secret decoder rings. Have you ever noticed that there's a disclaimer now on those things that says only one per customer Dave Young: Because of him? Stephen Semple: It's because of him. Because at a certain point, Kellogg's notices that they're sending tons of toys to this one address- Dave Young: To one guy. Stephen Semple: ... in rural Michigan, to this one guy. He's basically getting these things and then going to trade shows and selling them. Dave Young: Nice. That's smart. Stephen Semple: That's smart, hey. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: It's funny, I bought a book a little while ago that is somebody had put together a book of all of the ads and the products that we saw in comics. Dave Young: Oh, sure. Stephen Semple: And in fact, the reason why I had got the book is when I did my comic, I was looking for ideas for fun, made-up placement. Dave Young: My dad had a story about when he was a kid, he sent off for something and it was a model airplane, a Balsa model airplane, send a dollar or whatever. I think this had to be a joke. Basically, he got back a big block of balsa wood and a knife. There you go. Stephen Semple: There you go, that's awesome. Yeah. Dave Young: Yeah, so Steve Glew. Stephen Semple: So we thank Steve Glew for the origin of the disclaimer of one per customer. So Steve's got a problem. He needs to find new things to sell because this side hustle is about to disappear because he's no longer able to scavenge these boxes and send in and get all these toys to sell. He's clearing out the last of his inventory and he notices a nearby vendor selling Pez dispensers.

The lightest wood there is, the balsa (Ochroma pyramidale) is one excited little kid. It grows fast, has ice cream cone flowers, and you can even carry it around on your shoulders!

04-12-2024 - AGNALDO GONÇALVES - DIRETOR TEC DO DEP HIDROVIARIO - ENTREGA DA BALSA PARA A BAIXADA E OP. VERAO

A travessia que liga os munícipios de Santos e Guarujá, na Baixada Santista, ganhou nesta segunda-feira (02) um reforço importante com a entrega da embarcação FB-11, reformada e modernizada após um investimento de R$ 10,8 milhões.

El PIT CNT organizó ayer un acto en respaldo a la Federación Nacional de Profesores de Educación Secundaria (Fenapes), que culminaba este miércoles un paro de 48 horas. La jornada de movilización, convocada bajo la consigna “Contra el Modelo de la Desigualdad” y por los “Cambios Necesarios”, incluyó una marcha que partió de la explanada de la Intendencia de Montevideo y culminó con una concentración en la esquina de 18 de julio y Andes. El orador central fue Enrique Méndez, responsable de la Secretaría de Organización del PIT-CNT y dirigente nacional de la Federación de Trabajadores de la Industria Láctea. El dirigente se solidarizó con los trabajadores que están en conflicto en las empresas Copsa, Calcar, Lactalis y Balsa y Asociados. Y pidió a los próximos gobiernos que “obliguen” a las empresas a “cumplir con sus obligaciones laborales” antes de recibir “subsidios y beneficios del Estado”. En su discurso, Méndez aseguró que en tiempos electorales “algunos sectores muy pudientes del país, reflejados en algunos sectores de la coalición al frente del gobierno, no hablan de los más de 550.000 uruguayos que la pasan muy duro, ganando apenas 25.000 pesos y menos”. Además dijo que esos sectores tampoco hablan “de los más de 300.000 uruguayos que viven y sufren la informalidad en nuestro país”. En cambio, exclamó, “hablan de Alicia en el País de las Maravillas”. “Desarrollan una campaña sin ideas, sin pasión, que no ayuda absolutamente en las verdaderas necesidades de la gente. No hablan expresamente de cómo llenar la olla ni brindan soluciones para saber cómo los sectores trabajadores, jubilados y pensionistas pagarán el almacén a fin de mes. Esta campaña está hablando de frivolidades, de cuestiones que son hasta bobadas”. Méndez agregó que el gobierno “no habla de la pobreza infantil” porque a sus integrantes “les da verguenza”. Sostuvo que Uruguay “es uno de los pocos países de América Latina que tienen sus indicadores de pobreza en peores parámetros que antes de la pandemia” y aseguró que esos indicadores no mejoran porque durante tres años se recortó salario y jubilaciones. Méndez dijo que “cuesta que los números cambien en nuestro país porque hubo una política aplicada que aumentó el proceso de la desigualdad. El promedio de los ingresos de los hogares más ricos capturó el mayor crecimiento, mientras que los hogares más pobres lo terminaron perdiendo”, agregó. Además, denunció que se perdió “calidad de empleo” ya que hay “cada vez más ocupados sin horarios de trabajo”, “cada vez con jornadas más largas de trabajo”. Por su lado, Nathalie Barbé, representante de la Asociación de Trabajadores de la Seguridad Social (ATSS), defendió la reforma constitucional que impulsa el PIT CNT para cambiar el régimen de jubilaciones y pensiones. Barbé denunció una “campaña del miedo” de parte del oficialismo. “Estamos escuchando a estos iluminados, que ganan más de 500.000 pesos por mes, decirnos que aumentarles el ingreso a nuestros jubilados que están pasando hambre va a fundir el país”, agregó. Por su lado, el vicepresidente de Fenapes, José Olivera, llamó a militar en contra del plebiscito contra los allanamientos nocturnos. Olivera dijo que si se quiere combatir la delincuencia “hay que cerrar las asociaciones para delinquir en la Torre Ejecutiva, no hay que darles más pasaportes exprés a los narcotraficantes”. El paro de Fenapes se realizó contra la “transformación educativa” , el “recorte presupuestal” y la “reducción de grupos” en Secundaria.

Die Firma Sharewood hat weltweit 3000 private Anleger und Firmen um 100 Millionen Franken abgezockt. Die Behörden wussten von den Machenschaften, schritten aber jahrelang nicht ein. Ausserdem im «Kassensturz»: der Kampf mit der IV. Und im Test: Handstaubsauger. 100 Millionen verschwunden – Behörden verschlafen Riesenschwindel Die Schweizer Holzhandelsfirma Sharewood hat weltweit 3000 private Anlegerinnen und Anleger sowie Firmen um 100 Millionen Franken abgezockt. All diese hofften mit Investments in Teak-, Balsa- oder Eukalyptusbäume, etwas für den Umweltschutz zu tun, und gleichzeitig ihr Vermögen zu vermehren. Doch grösser wurde einzig das Konto der cleveren Sharewood-Vermarkter. Die Zürcher Staatsanwaltschaft und die Finanzmarktaufsicht Finma wussten von den Machenschaften, schritten aber jahrelang nicht ein. Der Frust unter den Anlegerinnen und Anlegern ist gross. IV-Ärger – Mutter kämpft für ihr Mädchen Ein zwölfjähriges Mädchen erkrankt schwer an Long Covid. Das einst aufgeweckte Kind kann das Bett kaum mehr verlassen, ist völlig entkräftet. Die Mutter beantragt bei der IV einen Rollstuhl. Doch die IV verweigert das rund 20'000 Franken teure Hilfsmittel mit der Begründung: Das Mädchen brauche den Rollstuhl ja nicht, um in die Schule zu gehen. Der Amtsschimmel wiehert. Denn das Kind kann seit eineinhalb Jahren gar nicht mehr zur Schule gehen, weil es so erschöpft ist. Die Mutter verfasst Rekurse, kämpft, erst dann bekommt sie recht. Das Mädchen bekommt am Ende den Elektro-Rollstuhl. Test «Handstaubsauger» – Der Schrecken aller Staubkörner Schnell ist es passiert: Die Haferflocken-Packung fliegt quer über den Tisch, der Inhalt verteilt sich auf dem Boden. Gut, wer da einen Handstaubsauger zur Seite hat. Zehn dieser kleinen Dinger hat «Kassensturz» testen lassen. Mit ernüchternden Resultaten: Nur gerade zwei schneiden mit «gut» ab. Bei etlichen hingegen wird mehr Staub aufgewirbelt als letztendlich im Beutel landet. «Darf man das?» – Müssen Eltern Kindern ein Studium finanzieren? In der Serie «Darf man das?» beantwortet «Kassensturz» Rechtsfragen aus dem Alltag. Zum Vorlesungsbeginn brennt eine Frage unter den Nägeln: Wie lange müssen Eltern für die Ausbildung ihrer Kinder aufkommen? Müssen sie ein Studium finanzieren? Und darf das Kind das verlangen? Darf man das?

The Blight Boys are back from to chat about their adventures from PAX West, we talk about the dramatic updates happening with Concord just weeks after its release, more of our time with Star Wars: Outlaws, and so much more!

After a week off, the gents are back in the studio* to discuss whether a 2-1 win over Miami (not that Miami) assuages the concerns raised by the previous two matches, the impact of Jeciel Cedeno’s move to Detroit City, and what the rest of the season looks like.

A secretária de Meio Ambiente, Infraestrutura e Logística (Semil), Natália Resende, o subsecretário de Logística e Transportes, Denis Gerage Amorim, e a diretora do Departamento Hidroviário (DH), Jamille Consulin, entregaram, nesta sexta-feira (2), em Guarujá, a embarcação FB-27, que recebeu investimento de R$ 8,5 milhões.

En el episodio 92 del podcast “More Than Mamis” con Michelle Posada y Antonella González, entrevistaron a Jenisbel Acevedo, una mujer cubana que compartió su inspiradora historia de emigración y adaptación a los Estados Unidos. Jenisbel Acevedo llegó a los Estados Unidos desde Cuba a los nueve años, una experiencia que marcó su vida y la de su familia. Jenisbel narró cómo su viaje en balsa fue una travesía de siete días debido a que se perdieron, llevando consigo una brújula de tierra que aún conserva como un recuerdo valioso. Describió el momento de su llegada a Estados Unidos como una mezcla de miedo y esperanza, enfrentando un nuevo país, un nuevo idioma y la ausencia de una red de apoyo familiar. La transición no fue fácil. Jenisbel recordó cómo su familia tuvo que adaptarse rápidamente, tomando trabajos diversos para poder subsistir. Su padre, con formación médica, comenzó trabajando en áreas relacionadas con la medicina, lo que eventualmente llevó a la fundación de la Colonia Medical Center, un negocio familiar dedicado al cuidado de la salud, especialmente para la comunidad de adultos mayores. Jenisbel compartió cómo esta empresa, iniciada con humildes comienzos, ha crecido gracias al esfuerzo y la unidad familiar. Un tema recurrente en la entrevista fue el valor de la perseverancia y la unidad familiar. Jenisbel destacó cómo su familia logró superar las adversidades y mantenerse unida, incluso ante los retos de empezar una nueva vida desde cero en otro país. Este espíritu de resiliencia no solo les permitió prosperar como familia, sino también construir un negocio exitoso que ahora se dedica a ayudar a otros. El podcast también abordó temas relacionados con el empoderamiento femenino y la percepción pública en las redes sociales. Jenisbel habló de los desafíos de mantener una imagen pública y de cómo la gente a menudo tiene una percepción errónea basada en apariencias superficiales. Enfatizó la importancia de ser auténtica y de no dejarse influenciar por la presión de las redes sociales para proyectar una imagen perfecta. La entrevista concluyó con Jenisbel reflexionando sobre su rol como madre y cómo la maternidad la ha hecho más sensible y agradecida. Habló de la responsabilidad de transmitir valores y de ser un buen ejemplo para sus hijos, enseñándoles a apreciar sus raíces y la historia de su familia. Además, Jenisbel compartió sus futuros proyectos, incluyendo eventos familiares y esfuerzos continuos para ayudar a la comunidad.

Uma balsa que transportava combustíveis explodiu na Ilha do Marajó, no Pará, na madrugada desta sexta (12). Oito pessoas estavam a bordo, uma delas segue desaparecida. A embarcação seguia pelo rio Paraná, quando foi consumida pelas chamas. A balsa ficou à deriva por quase quatro horas.

El 28 de Junio de 1999 se publicó el primer álbum como solista de Gustavo Cerati tras la disolución de Soda Stereo. Las expectativas eran bastante altas y el reto creativo que tenia el autor era de dimensiones mayúsculas, tras varias exploraciones con la electrónica con los proyectos Plan V y Ocio, Cerati se concentró en hacer canciones aunque aprovechando toda la experiencia que había estado adquiriendo con el ambient y el electro. El álbum contiene 15 tracks los tres primeros cargados de distintas atmósferas y downtempos, un clásico automático como Puente, seguido de una segunda parte cargada de samples y loops que van creciendo, para dar paso a Verbo Carne que ejerce como centro del álbum con toda la emoción y los arreglos de cuerdas grabados en Abbey Road y una ultima parte que comienza con los aires electro andinos de Raíz y se va convirtiendo en pasajes electrónicos muchos de ellos puramente instrumentales y mas abstractos. El álbum fue Disco de oro en Argentina, Editado en CD y cassette Cortes de difusión Raíz Puente Paseo inmoral Tabú Engaña Río Babel Ficha Técnica: Compuesto, Grabado y Producido por Gustavo Cerati Músicos invitados: Flavius Etcheto | Leo García | Martín Carrizo | Fernando Nalé Grabado en CasaSubmarina, Bs. As. Ingeniero de grabación: Eduardo Bergallo 2do. Ingeniero: MacKinlay Asistente: Eduardo "Barakus" Iencenella La sinfónica fue grabada en Abbey Road, Londres para Verbo Carne Ingeniero: Peter Cobbin Asistente: Joel Gregg Mezclado por Clive Goddard y Gustavo Cerati excepto "Alma" y "Balsa" mezclados en CasaSubmarina por Eduardo Bergallo y Gustavo Cerati. Edición y mastering en The Townhouse, Londres Editor: Barry Woodward Mastering: Bunt Stafford-Clark Foto: Gaby Herbstein Peinado: Oscar (Roho) Photoshop: Sofía Temperley Dirección de diseño: ROS El álbum salio con un EPK que contenía varios audios donde Gustavo presentaba el álbum y abordaba varios temas sobre los procesos creativos, la composición y la producción de Bocanada.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: AI #45: To Be Determined, published by Zvi on January 5, 2024 on LessWrong. The first half of the week was filled with continued talk about the New York Times lawsuit against OpenAI, which I covered in its own post. Then that talk seemed to mostly die down,, and things were relatively quiet. We got a bunch of predictions for 2024, and I experimented with prediction markets for many of them. Note that if you want to help contribute in a fun, free and low-key, participating in my prediction markets on Manifold is a way to do that. Each new participant in each market, even if small, adds intelligence, adds liquidity and provides me a tiny bonus. Also, of course, it is great to help get the word out to those who would be interested. Paid subscriptions and contributions to Balsa are of course also welcome. I will hopefully be doing both a review of my 2023 predictions (mostly not about AI) once grading is complete, and also a post of 2024 predictions some time in January. I am taking suggestions for things to make additional predictions on in the comments. Table of Contents Copyright Confrontation #1 covered the New York Times lawsuit. AI Impacts did an updated survey for 2023. Link goes to the survey. I plan to do a post summarizing the key results, once I have fully processed them, so I can refer back to it in the future.

Cool thing to have in one's toolbelt, I will be trying it out over time. Not every cool new toy needs to be AI. While ChatGPT did hallucinate, Dan notes that at this point the major search engines also effectively hallucinate all the time due to recency bias, SEO spam and scam websites. He also notes how much ads now look like real search results on Google and Bing. I have mostly learned to avoid this, but not with 100% accuracy, and a lot of people doubtless fall for it.

There is an easier way if you already know what it is, but should the right algorithm know to look for it?

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Balsa Update and General Thank You, published by Zvi on December 13, 2023 on LessWrong. Wow, what a year it has been. Things keep getting crazier. Thank you for taking this journey with me. I hope I have helped you keep pace, and that you have been able to discern for yourself the parts of this avalanche of words and events that were helpful. I hope to have helped things make somewhat more sense. And I hope many of you have taken that information, and used it not only to be able to check Twitter less, but also to make better decisions, and, hopefully, to help make the world a better place - one in which humanity is more likely to survive. Recently, my coverage of the Biden administration executive order and the events at OpenAI have been received very positively. I'd like to do more in that mold: more focused, shorter pieces that pull the story together, hopefully de-emphasizing more ephemeral weekly posts over time. I am also happy that this work has potentially opened doors that might grant me larger platforms and other ways to make a difference. If you feel it would make the world better to do so, please help spread the word to others who would find my work useful. Thank you especially to both my long-time and recent paid subscribers and my Patreon supporters. It is important to me that all my content remain freely accessible - so please do not subscribe if it would be a hardship - but subscriptions and other contributions are highly motivating and allow me to increase my budget. You can also help by contributing to my 501c(3), Balsa Research. The rest of this post is an update on what is happening there. Balsa First Targets the Jones Act Even with the craziness that is AI, it is important not to lose sight of everything else going on and to seek out opportunities to create a better, saner world. That means building a world that's better equipped to handle AI's challenges and one that knows it can do sensible things. Previously I shared both an initial announcement and Balsa FAQ. Since then, we've focused on identifying particularly low-hanging fruit where key bridging work is not being done. I've hired Jennifer Chen, who has set up the necessary legal and logistical infrastructure for us to begin work. We've had a lot of conversations with volunteers, considered many options and game plans, and are ready to begin work in earnest. As our first major project, we've decided that Balsa will work to repeal the Jones Act. That is a big swing, and we are small. We feel that the current approaches in Jones Act reform are flawed and that there's an opportunity here to really move the needle (but, if it turns out we're wrong, we will pivot). Our plan continues to be to lay the necessary groundwork for a future push. We'll prioritize identifying the right questions to ask and commissioning credible academic work to find and quantify those answers. The questions that matter are often going to be the ones that are going to matter in a Congressional staff meeting or hearing, breaking down questions that particular constituencies and members care about. I believe that the numbers will show both big wins and few net losers from repeal - including few losers among the dedicated interest groups that are fighting for the Jones Act tooth and nail - such that full compensation for those losers would be practical. We also think that the framing and understanding of the questions involved can be dramatically improved. The hope is that the core opposition, which comes largely from unions, can ultimately be brought into a win-win deal. This is somewhat of a narrowing of the mission. The intended tech arm of Balsa did not end up happening. We will not attempt to influence elections or support candidates. We do not anticipate having the resources for the complete stack, although, if we get...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: The Best of Don't Worry About the Vase, published by Zvi on December 13, 2023 on LessWrong. Hello everyone! This is going to be a bit of a housekeeping post and a welcome to new subscribers. Note that this is not the primary version of my writing, which can be found on Substack, but it is a full copy of all posts found there. My writing can be intimidating. There is a lot of it, and it's often dense. As always, choose only the parts relevant to your interests, do not be afraid to make cuts. I attempt to make every post accessible as an entry point, but I also want to build up a superstructure over time. This seemed like a good time to recap some of the very best of my old writing and talk about what I'm up to. Over many years, this blog has morphed from focusing on rationality to COVID to AI. But not only those things. I'm interested in almost everything. I write periodic updates about housing policy, childhood, fertility, medicine and health, gaming and grab bags of everything else. In addition to writing, I also run a small 501c(3) with one employee called Balsa Research. Balsa is dedicated to laying groundwork on a few key issues to make big civilizational wins possible, starting with repeal of the Jones Act. This link is to an update on that, and you can donate here. Your subscriptions here are also very much appreciated. Underlying it all continues to be my version of the principles of rationality. Rationality A lot has changed since my last best-of writeup six years ago. One thing that has not changed is that I consider myself part of the rationalist community. No specific interest in rationality or its modes of thinking are required, but I strive to embody my version of this style of thinking, and to illustrate and hopefully pass on this mode of thinking throughout my writing. What is rationality? This post is one good answer. It is believing, and updating on evidence, so as to systematically improve the correspondence between your map and the territory, and using that map to achieve your values. To me, a rationalist continues to be someone who highly values, and invests in, the version of this process and the art thereof that they believe in, both in themselves and others. If you're wondering why anyone would think this way, my best responses to that are Responses to Tyler Cowen on Rationality and Why Rationality? If you're interested in going deeper, you should try reading the sequences. You can get the Kindle version here. I think rationality and the sequences are pretty great. The sequences were created by Eliezer Yudkowsky, in the hopes that those who learned to think well in general would also be able to think well about AI. Whether or not you have any interest in thinking about AI, or thinking about it well, I find it valuable to think about everything well, whenever and to the extent I can. While I do consider myself a Rationalist, I do not consider myself an Effective Altruist. That is a very different set of norms and cultural constructs. The Evergreen Posts These are to me the ten posts most worth reading today, along with a pitch on why you might want to read each of them. Only one is directly about AI, exactly because AI moves so quickly, and my top AI posts are listed in the next section down. The top ten are in alphabetical order, all are listed again in their appropriate sections. If you only read one recent post and are here for AI, read OpenAI: The Battle of the Board. If you only read one fully evergreen older post, read Slack. An Unexpected Victory: Container Stacking at the Port of Long Beach. This is still highly underappreciated. How did Ryan's boat ride and Tweetstorm cause a policy change? Could we duplicate this success elsewhere in the future? How? Asymmetric Justice. A concept I wish more people knew and understood. Many moral and f...

For years, balsa wood has been a key component in the giant rotor blades on the top of wind turbines. Most of it comes from the rain forests of South America and, in particular, from Ecuador. As the world transitions to green energy, lots of countries – particularly China – have been looking for more balsa to make blades. That pushed up prices, raised questions over sustainability and prompted some companies to look for alternatives to balsa wood. One alternative is PET, a foam made from recycled plastic bottles. So what should we be using to make the wind turbine blades of the future – biodegradable balsa wood or plastic foam made from old bottles? We talk to people on both sides of the debate and visit a wind farm in rural England to see the blades in action. (Picture: Crook Hill wind farm in Rochdale, north of England.)

Juan Tapia fundó el colectivo llamado "Unkraut" para actividades sociales y artísticas. Su herramienta es una balsa y su medio el río Spree de Berlín y sus canales que se esparcen por toda la ciudad. En su balsa suceden desde manifestaciones medioambientales hasta conciertos flotantes de música tecno o jazz.

It's no coincidence that model planes, cars, and other scale replicas are often made from the same material: Balsa wood. The wood of the Balsa tree is incredibly lightweight and uniquely strong given the former characteristic. And on top of the incredible biology associated with this, the Balsa Tree has been involved in some incredible adventures--like the Kon-Tiki Expedition from South America to Polynesia.

Thought leadership content and SEO content are both effective marketing strategies, and by combining the strengths of both types of content, an organization can create a powerful marketing strategy that leverages their expertise, thought leadership, and online presence to achieve their business goals.But people often put thought leadership and SEO into two buckets and think that it is impossible to have thought leadership and SEO within one article or as part of a holistic content strategy. According to Erin Balsa, the founder of Haus of Bold, the best thought leadership content helps your content rank higher on the search results page. Erin was a guest on Ramli John's Marketing Powerups podcast, where they discussed her Content Sweet Spot Framework as well as thought leadership, its definitions, and the misconceptions about it.

¿Cuáles son las claves para un mayor crecimiento sostenido a largo plazo en Uruguay? La pregunta es siempre pertinente, pero más en un panorama internacional complejo y a las puertas de un año electoral. Es, también, la pregunta disparadora para el conversatorio que organiza este miércoles próximo la Asociación Cristiana de Dirigentes de Empresa, ACDE. Participarán Ana Inés Balsa, profesora e investigadora de la Universidad de Montevideo; Javier de Haedo, director del Observatorio de la Coyuntura Económica de la Universidad Católica; Ignacio Munyo, director ejecutivo de Ceres; Gabriel Oddone, socio en CPA Ferrere; y Ricardo Pascale, profesor de la Universidad de la República e investigador, expresidente del Banco Central. Adelantamos un poco más de qué se busca con este evento que tendrá lugar el miércoles por la mañana, dónde se pondrá el foco. Conversamos En Perspectiva con la contadora Rosario González Stewart, presidenta del consejo directivo de ACDE.

Some people think that Thought Leadership Content and SEO Content is like oil and water—they don't mix.The reality is far from the truth!Erin Balsa, founder of Haus of Bold and former marketing director at The Predictive Index, discusses why the best thought leadership content helps your content rank higher on the search results page:People often differentiate thought leadership and SEO into two buckets. It's a myth that you can't accomplish thought leadership and SEO within one article or holistic content strategy. You can create thought leadership content that also rank for keywords on the search results page.To help you build thought leadership content that ranks on the search results page, Erin Balsa created The Content Sweet Spot Framework.In this Marketing Powerups episode, you'll learn:What is “thought leadership”?Why great thought leadership content is great for SEO.The 4-element Content Sweet Spot Framework.How Erin transitioned from an in-house marketer to a business owner.

Empujado por un irrefrenable afán investigador, el arqueólogo Thor Heyerdahl emprendió una de las travesías más peligrosas y memorables de la historia de la navegación. Al mando de otros cinco escandinavos zarpó del puerto peruano del Callao a bordo de la Kon-Tiki, una balsa de troncos construida al estilo de los pueblos prehispánicos. Quería probar su teoría sobre los habitantes de la Polinesia; a diferencia de la corriente académica mayoritaria, que les atribuye un origen asiático, Heyerdahl sostenía que la especie humana llegó a vela desde el sur de América gracias a los vientos alisios. El 7 de agosto de 1947, 101 días después de su partida, la Kon-Tiki alcanzó la costa oriental de Raroia, uno de los atolones del archipiélago de las Tuamotu. La experiencia quedó plasmada en un clásico de la literatura de viajes y una película documental galardonada con un Óscar. Tres cuartos de siglo después de la gesta, seguimos su estela en compañía del antropólogo David Valcárcel, director científico del Parque Etnográfico Pirámides de Güímar, institución fundada por el propio Thor Heyerdahl en Tenerife, donde pasó sus últimos diez años de vida. Allí sigue residiendo su viuda, Jacqueline Beer, que nos ayuda a recomponer la biografía de este etnógrafo y explorador. Con el historiador y divulgador Germán Loedel recordamos los momentos claves de la expedición antes de retratar el presente de Raroia junto al escritor y viajero Jordi Canal-Soler. Antes de despedirnos de la Polinesia Francesa nos acercamos, de la mano del veterinario Óscar Martín y el instructor de buceo Martín Márquez, a otras islas del grupo de las Tuamotu como Rangiroa, Makatea o Fakarava.

In this episode we visit with IMEG's Cliff Schwinger, a senior structural engineer in Philadelphia and recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Institute of Steel Construction. Cliff has more than 40 years of experience, is a nationally recognized quality assurance expert, and presents at seminars nationwide, including the NASCC Steel Conference, where he has been a speaker for 10 years. Cliff's interest in engineering sprouted when he was a little kid. “I used to build these model airplanes out of balsa wood, and they were like mini structures,” he recalls. Though he originally had designs on becoming an aeronautical engineer, as he entered college, jobs in that field were on the downswing. “So, I somehow wandered into civil engineering. I became a structural engineer, and I haven't looked back.” He has seen many changes over the course of his career, primarily due to advances in technology. “I entered college with a slide rule and I came out with a calculator,” he says. “I still remember the first computer we got, and then, gradually, it got to where it is today. It's incredible the change that has happened since 1976 when I entered the profession, and it's all good. But there are challenges, and one of the challenges is to train engineers—in particular, younger engineers—not to put blind faith in the software. You need the computer to crunch all those numbers; however, you still need to be able to tell whether the computer is giving you the right answer.” Cliff also talks about his interests outside of engineering. “About a dozen years ago, somehow I bumbled my way into community theater and played a bit part as an angry Roman citizen in a mob of other angry Roman citizens in a Shakespeare performance. And then another year I was a soldier in King Henry's army in ‘Henry IV.' ” Also an avid bicyclist, Cliff has, in the past, led unique tours for his bike club around Philadelphia. “But I wouldn't stop at the famous landmarks—I would stop at the totally unknown things,” he says. “There's always an interesting story behind every building. I had another ride called ‘Cliff's Decaying Infrastructure Ride.' “ For young engineers just getting started, Cliff offers some advice. “You have to have passion, and you have to be OK with the understanding that you're always going to be learning.”
