Native Distribution |
Acer platanoides (Norway maple) is a species of maple native to eastern and central Europe and southwest Asia, from France east to Russia, north to southern Scandinavia and southeast to northern Iran.[2][3] It is part of the Acer family, or the Maple family.
It is a deciduous tree, growing to 20–30 m (66–98 ft) tall with a trunk up to 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in) in diameter, and a broad, rounded crown. The bark is grey-brown and shallowly grooved; unlike many other maples, mature trees do not tend to develop a shaggy bark. The shoots are green at first, soon becoming pale brown; the winter buds are shiny red-brown.
The leaves are opposite, palmately lobed with five lobes, 7–14 cm (2.8–5.5 in) long and 8–20 cm (3.1–7.9 in) (rarely 25 cm (9.8 in)) across; the lobes each bear one to three side teeth, and an otherwise smooth margin. The leaf petiole is 8–20 cm (3.1–7.9 in) long, and secretes a milky juice when broken. The autumn colour is usually yellow, occasionally orange-red.
The flowers are in corymbs of 15–30 together, yellow to yellow-green with five sepals and five petals 3–4 mm (0.12–0.16 in) long; flowering occurs in early spring before the new leaves emerge. The fruit is a double samara with two winged seeds; the seeds are disc-shaped, strongly flattened, 10–15 mm (0.39–0.59 in) across and 3 mm (0.12 in) thick. The wings are 3–5 cm (1.2–2.0 in) long, widely spread, approaching a 180° angle. It typically produces a large quantity of viable seeds.
Under ideal conditions in its native range, Norway Maple may live up to 250 years, but often has a much shorter life expectancy in North America, sometimes only 60 years. Especially when used on streets, it can have insufficient space for its root network and is prone to the roots wrapping around themselves, girdling and killing the tree. Norway Maples often cause significant damage and cleanup costs for municipalities and homeowners when branches break off in storms as it is fast-growing and does not have strong wood.[4][5][6][7][8]
The Norway maple is a member (and is the type species) of the section Platanoidea Pax, characterised by flattened, disc-shaped seeds and the shoots and leaves containing milky sap. Other related species in this section include Acer campestre (field maple), Acer cappadocicum (Cappadocian maple), Acer lobelii (Lobel's maple), and Acer truncatum (Shandong maple). From the field Maple, the Norway maple is distinguished by its larger leaves with pointed, not blunt, lobes, and from the other species by the presence of one or more teeth on all of the lobes.[5][6]
It is also frequently confused with the more distantly related Acer saccharum (sugar maple). The sugar maple is easy to identify by clear sap in the petiole (Norway maple has white sap). The tips of the points on Norway maple leaves reduce to a fine "hair", while the tips of the points on sugar maple leaves are, on close inspection, rounded. On mature trees, sugar maple bark is more shaggy, while Norway maple bark has small, often criss-crossing grooves. While the shape and angle of leaf lobes vary somewhat within all maple species, the leaf lobes of Norway maple tend to have a more triangular shape, in contrast to the more squarish lobes often seen on sugar maples. The seeds of sugar maple are globose, while Norway maple seeds are flattened. The sugar maple usually has a brighter orange autumn color, where the Norway maple is usually yellow, although some of the red-leaved cultivars appear more orange.
The tree tends to leaf out earlier than most maples and holds its leaves somewhat longer in autumn. Seeds begin forming in mid-spring and ripen over the course of the summer months, finally dropping in the fall. Unlike some other maples that wait for the soil to warm up, A. platanoides seeds require only three months of exposure to sub-40°F temperatures and will sprout in early spring. The heavy seed crop and high germination rate contributes to its invasiveness in North America, where it forms dense monotypic stands that choke out native vegetation. It is one of the few introduced species that can successfully invade and colonize a virgin forest. By comparison, in its native range, Norway Maple is rarely a dominant species and instead occurs mostly as a scattered understory tree.[5][6]
The wood is hard, yellowish-white to pale reddish, with the heartwood not distinct; it is used for furniture and turnery.[9]
Norway Maple has been widely placed into cultivation in other areas, including western Europe northwest of its native range. It grows north of the Arctic Circle at Tromsø, Norway. In North America, it is planted as a street and shade tree as far north as Anchorage, Alaska,[10] having been first introduced from Europe in the 18th century. During the 1950s-60s, it became popular as a street tree due to the large-scale loss of American Elms from Dutch Elm Disease.[11] It is favored due to its tall trunk and tolerance of poor, compacted soils and urban pollution, conditions that Sugar Maple cannot grow in. Because of the Norway Maple's invasive nature, the London plane, Platanus X acerifolia, is often recommended as a pollution tolerant urban tree for planting where trees cannot be allowed to freely colonise new areas.
It has become a popular species for bonsai in Europe and is used for medium to large bonsai sizes and a multitude of styles.[12]
Norway Maples are not typically cultivated for maple syrup production due to the milky white sap they produce, and the sap's low sugar content.
Many cultivars have been selected for distinctive leaf shapes or colorations, such as the dark purple of 'Crimson King' and 'Schwedleri', the variegated leaves of 'Drummondii', the light green of 'Emerald Queen', and the deeply divided, feathery leaves of 'Dissectum' and 'Lorbergii'. The purple-foliage cultivars have orange to red autumn colour. 'Columnare' is selected for its narrow upright growth,[6][13] and 'Pendulum' for its weeping habit.
The cultivar 'Crimson King'[14] has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
The roots of Norway maples grow very close to the ground surface, starving other plants of moisture. For example, lawn grass (and even weeds) will usually not grow well beneath a Norway maple, but English Ivy, with its minimal rooting needs, may thrive. In addition, the dense canopy of Norway maples can inhibit understory growth.[15] Some have suggested Norway maples may also release chemicals to discourage undergrowth,[16] although this is controversial.[15]
A. platanoides has been shown to inhibit the growth of native saplings as a canopy tree or as a sapling.[15] The Norway maple also suffers less herbivory than the sugar maple, allowing it to gain a competitive advantage against the latter species.[17]
As a result of these characteristics, it is considered invasive in some states,[18] and has been banned in New Hampshire[19] and Massachusetts.[20][21] The State of New York has classified it as an invasive plant species.[22]
The Norway maple is one of three species Meijer Garden Centers no longer sell; Meijer made this decision due to the tree's invasive nature.[23] Despite these steps, the species is still available and widely used for urban plantings in many areas.
The Norway maple is threatened in a few areas by the Asian long-horned beetle, which eats through the trunks, often killing the trees.
A number of species of Lepidoptera feed on Norway maple foliage. Norway maple is generally free of serious diseases, though can be attacked by the powdery mildew Uncinula bicornis, and verticillium wilt disease caused by Verticillium spp.[24] "Tar spots" caused by Rhytisma acerinum infection are common but largely harmless.[25]
Aceria pseudoplatani is a acarine mite that causes a 'Felt Gall' that is found on the underside of leaves of both Sycamores (Acer pseudoplatanus) and Norway Maple (Acer platanoides),[26]

With just a few weeks left in the regular season, the district races around the South Plains are starting to tighten up, and one district finally gets back to action after taking the week off for testing.
KRESS - Alex Rodriguez and Nicholas Ponciano combined on a five-inning no-hitter, and New Deal used an 11-run first inning in its rout of Kress, 17-0, in a District 5-1A game on Saturday.
Going into the second half of District 2-5A play, Coronado head baseball coach Gary Hix was confident his team had the right makeup and mindset to make a run for a playoff spot.
For six-plus innings Friday night, the Lubbock Christian baseball team did most everything correctly, at times spectacularly, in its three-games series finale with R.J. Reynolds out of North Carolina. Then, everything unraveled in the seventh inning.
R.J. Reynolds used a four-run fourth inning to take control and hold off Lubbock Christian for an 8-6 victory over the Eagles on Thursday at Eagle Field.
LEVELLAND - Kiefer Schellhase pitched a complete game and drove in three runs to support his own cause, leading Shallowater past Levelland 4-1 Tuesday in District 2-3A baseball. Schellhase struck out 10 and limited Levelland to five hits.
WOODROW - Grant Hill and Ryan Salinas provided five-hit pitching and Angel Fernandez's two-run single triggered a five-run seventh inning, leading Estacado past Cooper 7-1 Tuesday in District 2-3A baseball.
Due to schools undergoing STAAR testing this week, the schedule for high school baseball is rather light. However, there are some intriguing matchups for Tuesday.
Cooper baseball coach Terry Baxter had no qualms about putting senior left-hander Tanner Doucette up against some of the best competition on the Pirates' schedule.
Kolt Rogers went 3 for 4 including a game-winning, two-out, two-run double in the bottom of the ninth, and Coronado outslugged Odessa, 12-11, in a District 2-5A clash on Saturday at O'Banion Field.

American film and television producer Jerry Bruckheimer's eponymous software development studio Jerry Bruckheimer Games has been shut down, according to Gamespot. After having released a grand total of zero games since its inception in 2007, Jerry Bruckheimer Games is "no longer a functioning entity," a Bruckheimer Films representative is quoted as saying.
Prior to this, the last we'd heard of Jerry's incubation chamber was way back in 2011, when rumors spread that the studio was working on three different titles. No games or projects, however, were ever officially announced.

Yeah i can imagine it would. Sorry mate. Considering youve probably been mixing far longer than me i understand where your coming from lol.
Like i say, i can only comment from my experience. The majority of times ive seen it has been used with controllers, which is just so cringey to watch. I think my dislike of controllers (often used with traktor) has taken over to using it with a dvs. I just always shake my head in disappointment when i see someone use a controller, and 9 times out of 10 theyre using the controller with traktor. So i think thats swayed my opinion against traktor lol.
Just sick of seeing all the little badman deejay's on fbook thinking theyre the next mampi swift because they can hit sync and shove a load of effects on top of a shitty mix. (And like i say, majority of the time ive seen this its been done with traktor).
On a side note... When you getting on DNBForumTV!?

Toby Keith
Characterizing Toby Keith's fourteenth studio album as a breakthrough may seem hyperbolic. After all, here's an artist whose music has sold more than 25 million albums in this decade alone, untold millions of concert tickets and formed the basis for an entertainment empire that includes movies, restaurants, a record label and more.
But That Don't Make Me A Bad Guy is more than just another infusion of music by which the rest of Keith's endeavors will benefit (though that will surely happen). Amazingly enough, the album is a moment of musical transcendence in which Toby Keith the recording artist brings his creativity into previously unattained balance. As a writer, as a vocalist, as a producer, Keith has developed himself into a complete music maker of the highest order. The table has no short leg. There are no holes in his game.
Certainly as a songwriter, Toby has nothing to prove. He left Oklahoma for Nashville with a handful of demos that formed the basis of his self-titled 1993 debut album. "Should've Been A Cowboy" was his first No. 1, and touched off a string of self-penned hits that form the foundation of his career: "Wish I Didn't Know Now," "Who's That Man," "You Ain't Much Fun," "Does That Blue Moon Ever Shine On You," "We Were In Love," "How Do You Like Me Now?!" "I'm Just Talkin' About Tonight," "Courtesy Of The Red, White And Blue," "Who's Your Daddy?" "I Love This Bar," "American Soldier," "As Good As I Once Was," "A Little Too Late" and "High Maintenance Woman." And that's barely scratching the surface.
In fact, BMI recently honored Keith for 50 million airplay performances of his songs, a figure that puts him in company with hit makers like Elton John, The Bee Gees and John Lennon. What's remarkable, then, about Keith's 11 writing credits on That Don't Make Me A Bad Guy is simply longevity – the enduring relevance of his writing. As they say in the publishing world, the only thing harder than having a hit is having two.
All these years later, however, Keith isn't just writing songs for his album, he's writing the kind of hits that launch discs to multi-platinum certification and keep concert venues full nationwide. Bad Guy's first single, "She Never Cried In Front Of Me," elicited exactly that kind of response, rocketing to No. 1 in advance of the album's release.
Keith still writes solo, as on the stirringly blue lament "Missing Me Some You." And he also enlists a select group of co-writers, including one of his biggest influences Eddy Raven on "Cabo San Lucas," a slightly sad (though unintended) sequel to Keith's previous hit "Stays In Mexico." He also brings in prolific Nashville songwriter Vicky McGehee for "God Love Her," the story of a preacher's daughter, a runaway couple, rebellion and redemption. And as he's done with other writers in the past, Toby has tapped a creative mother load with Bobby Pinson, who has eight co-writes.
"Bobby rides my bus a lot," Toby explains. "When me and Scotty Emerick wrote all those great songs through the years, that was because he was on my bus. Whoever you're around and inspires you, you end up writing a lot of songs with. It was not unusual for me and Scott to have six or seven songs on an album, and it's not unusual now for me and Bobby to have a bunch."
For the second consecutive album, Keith serves as his own producer, and seems to have taken the experience gleaned on Big Dog Daddy to create an even bigger, more aggressive sound. Completely undete rred by the stylistic range of going from the thumping drive of "Creole Woman" and euphoric guitar work of "God Love Her" to the Latin tones of "Cabo San Lucas," Keith delivers a sonically adventurous collection of recordings.
"For years I needed a producer because I was trying to find my way," he says. "I needed someone to make sure I didn't get out of bounds for getting my stuff played. I still remember the first six or seven demos I produced and brought to town. Everyone said the songs weren't any good. But they were 'Should've Been A Cowboy,' 'He Ain't Worth Missing,' 'Wish I Didn't Know Now' and 'Does That Blue Moon Ever Shine On You.' So it wasn't the songs. I always felt that as you're finding your way as an artist you need a producer. It's a safety net."
"As we've evolved, I really don't need to find a niche anymore. I've got my own niche. When I come on the radio people know it's me. Now I'm producing and I think I'm getting better every time I do it."
Part of Keith's development as a producer has been finding a comfort level with the team he builds around himself. "You get a great engineer, you get great people who you've trusted for years – and I do that in all my businesses. You put your ideas down and turn everybody loose. I don't keep the reins that tight. I let everybody take their time and take their shots. If somebody has some great ideas we listen to them. It's just kind of a meeting of a lot of intelligent, creative people. You keep the stuff that works and throw out the stuff that doesn't."
One of the things that seems to be working best for Toby the producer is Toby the vocalist. In fact, if there's an aspect to That Don't Make Me A Bad Guy that jumps most dynamically out of the speakers, it's the vocal performances. Even the release of the first single, "She Never Cried In Front Of Me," immediately had radio programmers and industry observers hailing it as the finest vocal of his career. They haven't heard anything yet.
Interestingly, it's not as if Keith's vocal abilities have ever been in question. Rather, the continued development, even at this stage of his career, is impressive in his sheer power, ability to convey emotion and obvious progression as a vocal technician. And it doesn't hurt that he knows when to pull back, and when to laugh at himself.
"There's a note in 'Hurt A Lot Worse When You Go' that's not in my range, so I have to sing falsetto," he says. "The line says, 'You never cut me deep.' And I go to falsetto on 'deep.' We recorded it three or four times, then I got brave and decided to go for it. I sang it straight ahead and hit it. I surprise myself sometimes with what I think my range is. So I was pretty proud of myself, and I looked in the control room to see Mills, my engineer. He goes, 'Yeah, so what? You can sing it. It's not as cool as the falsetto note. Sing the falsetto.'"
When it comes to singing, especially for an album, experience is the best coach. "Studio singing and singing live are two totally different things," Keith says. "When you've been singing live your whole life, you come to Nashville and have to learn how to sing in the studio. And if you're doing an album every other year, that lengthens the progression of figuring out how to really work in that environment. But I do think I've matured as a vocalist."
In sum, That Don't Make Me A Bad Guy reveals an artist who continues to write not just recordable songs, but top shelf smash singles. As a producer, Keith is making his most wide ranging music yet in a career that is already underrated for its diversity. And he has pushed himself as a vocalist to the point where he should perhaps be regarded as one of the best male vocalists if his era, and maybe even in the conversation when discussing country's all-time greats.
The capper is, Show Dog Nashville's label head and No. 1 artist is completely self directed. "I'm always pushing myself," he admits. "I don't need external motivation to try to move things along." Nothing exemplifies that quality better than his latest album, That Don't Make Me A Bad Guy.

A new character is met when the protagonists rescue them from a tricky situation, or when they rescue the protagonists. Often creates a strong emotional bond to new character, as said rescue adds instant dramatic tension to any first impression. Depending on attitude and reaction of character, can act as an EstablishingCharacterMoment. Will sometimes result in a RescueRomance or RecruitmentByRescue. Compare to ComeWithMeIfYouWantToLive, which has a similar introduction dynamic. The rescuer can act as TheCavalry, or BigDamnHeroes depending on the situation.
While this meeting may often overlap with introducing the character to the audience as well, it does not necessarily have to- this is an in-universe trope about how the protagonist(s) meet the character.

text: So, I have brewed a Wheat beer with the addition of orange zest and some spice. A Brown Ale kit, and Caribou Slobber so far. My next kit is going to be the Harvest Ale from William's Brewing. My wife and I usually don't like the hoppy flavors of an IPA, and she's said that she's getting tired of the brown ales. Which brings me to my question....what would be a good suggestion for my next brew? Keeping in mind that I am fairly new and have only done kits, but I don't mind changing from the directions. I would like somthing that will sit in primary for about three weeks and then be kegged. I would like to be able to start drinking it about a week or so before Thanksgiving, so something that goes good around that time would be a plus. Thanks guys for all the information and help that this site provides to newbies like me.

Great all round jacket -
By: Bets21
Stylish and warmer than it looks. Fleece and quilting make it great for layering. But it does run very small. I usually wear a size 12 but got the 16 and am really glad I did or I wouldn't be able to wear a sweater underneath.
Stylish but too small -
By: BRENDAR
Loved this jacket…very stylish and smart and good quality,BUT I got the largest size and it was too small. I got another Barbour jacket which fit fine. This one should come in one size larger. The XL is not XL,not even large.
cute, functional, versatile, flattering -
By: 4WDFlyfisher from Ostrander, OH

My wife saw this jacket (in the reddish, sort-of cayenne color), and loved it immediately. As usual, she was absolutely right. It is washable, too, and a great travel piece (when you want something other than black), and, of course, it's from Barbour. She's put it to use for a few years now, and its utility is only rivaled by its classic stylishness. I applaud Orvis for its relationship with Barbour -- it is a fitting partnership.
Best jacket ever -
By: klug77 from NY
It has a perfect fit, its cozy, very comfortable and makes you warm in cold weathers. You can wear it everywhere it doesn't matter if the dressing code is casual or elegant.
Order a size or two up! -
By: ddritchie from Hilton Head,SC
I ordered this jacket to have an alternate for my Barbour utility jacket. I ordered one size up and I can only wear it with a thin shirt or cashmere sweater. I decided to keep this size since I live in a mild climate and will continue use my utility jacket to wear with heavier sweaters and the betty barbour vests to add warmth.
Calvalry Polarquilt Jacket -
By: lbarnes3 from Atlanta, GA
I bought this jacket for my daughter for Christmas and she loves it! It's casual and dressy at the same time. Also the salesperson at the Atlanta store was so helpful. Had to order it on line in the store. Couldn't have been nicer!
.....original quilted jacket -
By: madtana from syosst,ny
I waited for 3 years to find this jacket and it was worth the wait. It's comfortable, light weight but warm. The inside is fleece line and the outside is water resistant. This is a year round jacket. It runs a little big which is great.
Quilted Calvary Jacket is Fantastic -
By: allmmsports from Versailles, KY
I am in my mid-fifties and owned Barbour jackets for years. It was good to hear when my daughter requested a navy Calvary jacket for her wardrobe! She liked the surprising warmth despite not being a bulky or heavy coat. I know from my years of ownership that it will last her for a long time to come!!!
Incredible jacket. -
By: STLMO from Saint MO
Bought this jacket for my wife. Loves to be outside -- the jacket is perfect blend of fashion and performance.
Great coat for all -
By: Amy44444 from Atlanta
Bought first coat last year for college bound daughter who loved it. It is warm yet fashionable. 13 year old wanted one too so is getting one for Christmas this year. I got it in red for me and great for sporting events as well as work travel to the northeast. Fashionable, warm but not bulky. Love this coat.

Influence of Pump Parameters on Two-Pump Optical Parametric Amplification
Journal of Lightwave Technology, Vol. 23, Issue 8, pp. 2524- (2005)
Acrobat PDF (722 KB)
An analysis of two-pump optical parametric amplifiers is proposed in order to evidence strategies to project and develop flat two-pump fiber parametric amplifiers (2P-OPAs). Amplifier gain profile is evaluated through a model that takes into account the four-wave mixing process with pump depletion. Disturbing influence of degenerate three-wave mixing processes is separately addressed. Through the analysis, important 2P-OPA project guidelines are obtained. Theoretical forecasts are confirmed by experimental measurements on different 2P-OPAs, realized by changing power and spectral allocations of the two pumps, obtained by Raman amplification.

By Pat Romanski The truth is, today's databases are anything but agile – they are effectively static repositories that are cumbersome to work with, difficult to change, and cannot keep pace with application demands. Performance suffers as a result, and it takes far longer than it should to deliver new features and capabilities needed to make your organization competitive. As your application and business needs change, data repositories and structures get outmoded rapidly, resulting in increased work for applica... Feb. 27, 2015 09:30 AM EST Reads: 1,274 |
By Elizabeth White The excitement around the possibilities enabled by Big Data is being tempered by the daunting task of feeding the analytics engines with high quality data on a continuous basis. As the once distinct fields of data integration and data management increasingly converge, cloud-based data solutions providers have emerged that can buffer your organization from the complexities of this continuous data cleansing and management so that you're free to focus on the end goal: actionable insight.

By Carmen Gonzalez DevOps tends to focus on the relationship between Dev and Ops, putting an emphasis on the ops and application infrastructure. But that's changing with microservices architectures.
In her session at DevOps Summit, Lori MacVittie, Evangelist for F5 Networks, will focus on how microservices are changing the underlying architectures needed to scale, secure and deliver applications based on highly distributed (micro) services and why that means an expansion into "the network" for DevOps.

By Liz McMillan With several hundred implementations of IoT-enabled solutions in the past 12 months alone, this session will focus on experience over the art of the possible. Many can only imagine the most advanced telematics platform ever deployed, supporting millions of customers, producing tens of thousands events or GBs per trip, and hundreds of TBs per month.
With the ability to support a billion sensor events per second, over 30PB of warm data for analytics, and hundreds of PBs for an data analytics arc... Feb. 27, 2015 09:00 AM EST Reads: 1,130 |
By Carmen Gonzalez The Internet of Things (IoT) is causing data centers to become radically decentralized and atomized within a new paradigm known as "fog computing." To support IoT applications, such as connected cars and smart grids, data centers' core functions will be decentralized out to the network's edges and endpoints (aka "fogs"). As this trend takes hold, Big Data analytics platforms will focus on high-volume log analysis (aka "logs") and rely heavily on cognitive-computing algorithms (aka "cogs") to mak...

By Carmen Gonzalez The Internet of Everything (IoE) brings together people, process, data and things to make networked connections more relevant and valuable than ever before – transforming information into knowledge and knowledge into wisdom. IoE creates new capabilities, richer experiences, and unprecedented opportunities to improve business and government operations, decision making and mission support capabilities.
In his session at @ThingsExpo, Gary Hall, Chief Technology Officer, Federal Defense at Cisco S... Feb. 27, 2015 09:00 AM EST Reads: 968 |
By Liz McMillan There is no doubt that Big Data is here and getting bigger every day. Building a Big Data infrastructure today is no easy task. There are an enormous number of choices for database engines and technologies. To make things even more challenging, requirements are getting more sophisticated, and the standard paradigm of supporting historical analytics queries is often just one facet of what is needed. As Big Data growth continues, organizations are demanding real-time access to data, allowing immed... Feb. 27, 2015 09:00 AM EST Reads: 1,283 |
By Pat Romanski Operational Hadoop and the Lambda Architecture for Streaming Data
Apache Hadoop is emerging as a distributed platform for handling large and fast incoming streams of data. Predictive maintenance, supply chain optimization, and Internet-of-Things analysis are examples where Hadoop provides the scalable storage, processing, and analytics platform to gain meaningful insights from granular data that is typically only valuable from a large-scale, aggregate view. One architecture useful for capturing... Feb. 27, 2015 09:00 AM EST Reads: 2,549 |
By Liz McMillan We're no longer looking to the future for the IoT wave. It's no longer a distant dream but a reality that has arrived. It's now time to make sure the industry is in alignment to meet the IoT growing pains – cooperate and collaborate as well as innovate.
In his session at @ThingsExpo, Jim Hunter, Chief Scientist & Technology Evangelist at Greenwave Systems, will examine the key ingredients to IoT success and identify solutions to challenges the industry is facing. The deep industry expertise be... Feb. 27, 2015 09:00 AM EST Reads: 2,711 |
By Elizabeth White Big Data is amazing, it's life changing and yes it is changing how we see our world. Big Data, however, can sometimes be too big. Organizations that are not amassing massive amounts of information and feeding into their decision buckets, smaller data that feeds in from customer buying patterns, buying decisions and buying influences can be more useful when used in the right way.
In their session at Big Data Expo, Ermanno Bonifazi, CEO & Founder of Solgenia, and Ian Khan, Global Strategic Positi... Feb. 27, 2015 08:00 AM EST Reads: 987 |
