Sanebox only shows you important emails, helping you ignore the fluff until you have time.

AwayFind lets you know when people you find important email you. The idea is you?ll spend less time looking at your inbox, but be aware: this could be distracting if not used properly.

started this company called Blue State Digital,

It probably got people to click,? Johnson says. ?That?s how our media has defined itself now. Our food companies industrialized and created incentives, so there is now a responsibility to create cheap, popular calories. Now we?ve industrialized media, and they need to create cheap, popular information.?

Clay Johnson asked that question earlier this year while speaking to a class in Washington, DC. Eighty percent of the class knew the answer (it?s 2880×1800). Johnson asked another question. ?What is the child poverty rate here in DC?? Not one student knew the answer (29.1 percent). ?What?s more relevant if you have $2000 to spend?? he asks me. ?Your laptop works fine. I don?t want to lay a guilt trip on you, but somebody should know, out of a class of fifty people ? one person should know that the child poverty rate is 29 percent.?

Price got out of the army in 1956 and resumed his recording career. He got back in the US pop charts almost immediately with 1957?s Just Because, and then unleashed his own raucous version of Stagger Lee on the world. It?s a runaway train of a record, fuelled by blaring horns and the backing singers? constant roars of encouragement. Drums thump like pistons beneath Price?s powerful vocals and the raspingly abrasive sax solos which break in every time he pauses for breath.

Act without hesitation. When you talk with others, appearing decisive is especially important. ?Confidence is really expressed in A to B movements,? Eastman says, meaning confident people show no hesitation between the decision to act and the action. Doubt makes the movement less fluid and betrays a lack of confidence. Practice acting in one fluid movement and catch yourself in moments of self-doubt or hesitation.

Watch yourself rehearse on video. Watching your performance is the easiest way to recognize room for improvement. ?Video analysis shows you when you?re not being fully congruent,? Eastman says. As you watch, look for moments that seem awkward or unconvincing. Notice if you break eye contact, and monitor the enthusiasm in your voice and body. Try to remember what you were thinking or feeling during the weaker moments ? addressing any doubts or anxieties will help you move past them.

Learning to appear confident is about becoming congruent, meaning that how you look and sound matches what you?re saying. For example, if you?re talking about your product?s most exciting feature, your expression should be big, your voice energized, and your body engaged. Fidgeting and staring at the floor would look out of sync.

people have been using as a daily to-do list,? says Stack. ?While items on the HIT list rank important in the short term, you can?t allow them to overwhelm long-term projects and tasks needed to achieve true workplace success.? Stack says whenever something important comes in that lacks urgency or has no set deadline, add it to the master list.

The Master List The master list is a running list of everything you need or want to do at some point.

A not-to-do list might look like this: ? Don?t do low-profit work when you can delegate it instead ? Don?t deal with work issues during personal time ? Don?t fall prey to perfectionism ? Don?t micromanage

Combining everything is very distracting and makes it difficult to determine what to work on next,? says Stack, author of What to Do When There?s Too Much to Do (Berrett-Koehler, 2012) ?You must separate what you need to do today with what you don?t need to do today.?

A recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology found that getting organized is the second most popular New Year?s resolution.

SEO link building campaign is critical for the success of your online marketing initiative. A few reasons why:  ? Inbound links are the heaviest-weighted factor in Google?s ranking algorithm ? When highly-authoritative websites link to yours, you gain exposure, positive branding and referral traffic ? Links are like roads to your website. Having more links can result in more paths for potential clients and customers to find your product or service

It?s nearly impossible to get ranked for any sort of competitive keyword if your website doesn?t have great content. Google differentiates high-quality from low-quality content by: ? Quantity and quality of inbound links to the page ? Quantity and quality of social signals linking to the page ? Grammar and spelling on the page ? Text formatting queues on the page (bold, italics, bullet points) ? Use of subheads ? Length of content ? Outbound links from the page When planning your onsite content strategy, create quality content that adds lasting value. Examples of ways to do this include: ? Infographics that dissect data in a new way, offering a fresh perspective ? Offering advice based on personal experience ? Publishing internal data that isn?t available elsewhere and is difficult to gather

Each movie i in the MovieLens dataset is labeled with one or more genres . We define the genre overlap between two movies as the Jaccard index of the corresponding genre sets (18) that is, the ratio between the number of genres shared by the two movies and the total number of genres with which they are labelled.

our algorithm sheds light on the factors determining preferences because it allows one to study the groupings that have the most explanatory power or that accurately account for certain features of the users? ratings.

uses a Bayesian approach that deals rigorously with the uncertainty associated with the models that could potentially account for observed users? ratings.

In contrast, we base our predictions in a family of models [18]?[21] that have been developed and are widely used by sociologists as plausible models of complex social networks, that is, of how social actors establish relationships (friendship relationships with each other, or membership relationships with institutions, for example). In this family of models, social actors are divided into groups and relationships between two actors are established depending solely on the groups to which they belong. Because of their simplicity and their explanatory power, these models are increasingly being studied as general models of complex (not necessarily social) networks [22]?[24].

algorithms that are based on plausible, easily-interpretable assumptions and that are based on solid mathematical grounds are useful in themselves and, arguably, hold the most potential to advance in the solution of the problem at the fundamental and practical levels.

Our model is in the spirit of predicting individuals? preferences based on the preferences of others but, rather than fitting a particular model, we rely on a Bayesian approach that samples over the ensemble of all possible models.
