Guest post by Liz Strauss, founder of SOBCon.
The social business space has made me many lifelong friends. Standup humans who I would stake a claim for, people who know business, strategy, and the unique art of relating to humans as humans. Yet as I move through the social space, I've watched a few stars lose sight of the relationships they've made. In these few cases, the social media star's reputation is now spin.
Don't get me wrong. I don't have problem with the idea that larger audiences and bigger contracts require folks to scale. I get one person's bandwidth can't stretch beyond 24 hours in a day. But a conversation is happening I've not really seen discussed much in the open. It has to do with people who no longer live their message.
If you want to know how to recognize a social media star whose reputation has turned into spin, just look for these signs:
He talks more than he listens. He's the one who is ready to tell you what the big brand should do before he's even heard what the big brand might already be doing. He has answer before you have a question.
True social stars listen more than talk. They come with a beginner's mind, asking questions, reaching out to learn, even when they're at the top of their game. They realize that getting and staying close to the people they meet will always be a strength that underpins the value and credibility of what they do.
She only shows up to speak and sign autographs. She used to attend social media events to have meetings and to get to know the people who follow her. Now she comes in to speak and leaves within the same hour.
True social stars might have a day or a commitment that taxes their time now and then, but they've learned not to spread their bandwidth too thin. They understand that showing up and being social is part of the job description. They see it as sign of respect for their audience and as a way of giving back. They build that time into their calendars, rather than schedule it out.
He's forgotten to read his own book. Choose your own example.
True social stars live their message. They walk their talk.
She doesn't keep her word. She's mastered the art of offering excuses to bail on things she doesn't want to do better than a college kid who has used the "my grandmother died" excuse more times than a person has grandmothers.
True social stars go out of their way to keep promises and are known for that. They would never risk playing sick or telling an untruth. They value their word and their name.
He expects the world to revolve around him. He expects you to rearrange your conference to suit his needs. He wants an entire company event to be moved to fit his schedule. He'll only eat green M&Ms.
True social stars "get" that the more we make the world about other people, the better perspective we have. They know that it's difficult to get a complete view standing in the center of things. They consider how their actions affect other people.
It's true everyone has their moments, and we all get it wrong now and then. This is not about that. It's about unsocial behavior from someone who used to know better and has lost sight of that.
In other businesses, these might pass as ego. Some folks might even think that they're perks earned from hard work. What? Any true star knows that you never forget your fans. Social means being authentically human, and caring about other humans is important to being successful at that.
Anything less and the reputation is spin.
Let's applaud the true social stars when we see them shine.

This is an excellent post. I often worry about the fact that social media seems to create celebrities, when in fact, that's not what it's about (I don't think so, anyway.) I fear we're losing perspective that it's about helping people relate to one another.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this.
I love that you use the word mature. I think that's the core of the issue. Those who've been there understand that it's about connecting people to people and making business happen … not about who's in the center of things now.
I really admire the people who keep their eyes on what's real and lasting too.
Ooh, I like this post, Liz. Well done.
WOW! I have been thinking this same thing a lot lately. There have been quite a few of these "stars" that I have un-followed lately for this types of things.
I used to gain a great wealth of info from these folks, but lately its more celebrity type stuff.
I am no social media expert, but what I enjoy is listening, learning, sharing, developing relationships….not being part of personal horn-tooting!
Great Post!
Hey Jim and Jennifer!
I hear you both. It's a story of when signal starts to become noise. heh heh
Ah, Liz, and this is why I love you so. 🙂
My favourite example?
"He's forgotten to read his own book. Choose your own example.
True social stars live their message. They walk their talk."
I know at least two SM heavyweights that have taken the equivalent of a complete U-turn on all they preached prior to their books coming out.
Another reason I unconnected with them. The sad thing is, so many people are still falling for their bullcrap.
Thanks for a healthy reminder. 🙂
Liz, Will totally link back to this. I am with Danny on the favorite example, it's faking it. Preaching without practice, telling folks to be authentic, yet sending nothing but canned auto-tweets to your own blog; hyping connections and comments, yet rarely replying to comments or sharing on other blogs.
I'll add: he or she tells you your business MUST be in social media. Or maybe that's just a sign of a bad expert? FWIW.
Good thoughts here. It's amazing when you go to conventions, workshops, seminars, book tours, etc. how quick it can be to spot the difference. I think that's one reason it's so important to balance the in-person with the online. It keeps you real.
[…] Five Signs that a Social Media Star's Reputation is Spin is a great guest post by the very smart Liz Strauss, and looks at how many social media heavyweights are beginning to believe in their own importance. Or, were never really genuine to start with (I'm sure we all know a few of these). […]
I see nothing wrong in admiring the folks who teach how to build strong businesses and deeper communities. What bothers me is those who started out "social" and have lost their leaning to be learning from others too. The definition of authenticity is not letting other folks opinion sway who you are. heh heh
Amen to that, Liz. It's been interesting to see how people's true characters comes through after a while – you can't fake sincerity forever…
The generous spirits stay generous, don't they? The not so generous have trouble seeming that way after a while. 🙂
Hi Tiffany,
Yeah, the best thing we can do is surround ourselves with really good people who see right through us and who don't take us overly seriously. eh?
Maya Angelou said when someone shows you who they are, believe them.
Great quote!
Liz, reminds me how Entertainment Weekly film critic Owen Gleiberman recently described Joaquin Phoenix, "He's become the kind of convoluted narcissist who flogs his sincerity until it becomes a twisted form of phoniness."
Beautiful sentence, Glenn! Music!
[…] the original post: Five Signs that a Social Media Star's Reputation Is Spin | Spin Sucks […]
As I've come to know this strange world of social media demi-gods and goddesses I have been struck by the lack of leadership displayed by the "A-Listers." Perhaps another way to characterize the maturity issue. Many of these people still act like kids and have not stepped up to use their bully pulpit as a way to lead and set an example.
Leadership calls for maturity. Yep. And those that have it do shine. 🙂
That's partially because many of the gods and goddesses have never been on the merry-go-round before. Haven't run a business, made a payroll, experienced failure, etc.
Expecting the world to revolve around you is not necessarily a bad thing; it may merely be a sign of insecurity.
I'm not sure I understand. I can see how insecurity can lead to that sort of world view. And I certainly understand how self-consciousness can cause it, but I still think it skews perspective.
Very on point blog. Business has always been as trendy as pop psychology. Combine that with shorter attention spans and you have a new breed of self-proclaimed gurus with "the answer." As if one size really could fit all.
Some people seize on a formulaic solution and make it their "brand." When they do that, they can no longer engage because they may be exposed to exceptions.
Or, put in the colloquial: when all you have is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail.
Hi Bill,
We all enjoy some attention when we do a good job. I know I do. But the hammer isn't more important than people who live in the house that it builds. To me, that's the key to this new social business culture. I do think it scales in the way we behave one-on-one even if we don't talk to so many so much. 🙂

Hi Roy,
I'm not yet convinced that's consciously ego. Sometimes when we work so hard to achieve something we get to feeling that we deserve a reward of some sort — I went through a phase once where I thought as much … I wasn't very grateful to the folks who helped me. I was totally clueless that I was thinking the world was all about me and my contributions at the time.
Your thoughtfulness shows through in this comment. Which is why I so enjoy talking with you every chance I get.
I predict things will even out once the "space-time continuum" of social media seems more natural to the length of time people spend learning other skill sets in business. Then what we do will make more sense to the folks who want to learn from, hire, and collaborate with us.
Hi, Liz. No. 2 is my favorite — only showing up to speak. Had the privilege to chat with some college students at the University of Missouri last night and one of the points we discussed is how you can never network enough.
That said, I could see some people saying it's just a time issue. Too much going on. Advice on how to regularly work in those networking opportunities? What's a good balance in your opinion?
Hi Justin,
When I'm asked to speak, if I can I want to be there to understand the audience long before I stand up in front of them. It seems like a part of the job. I get that sometimes obligations make that hard and that people often ask folks to speak for nothing … then I have to balance what I find of value in the relationships in the room.
Ironically, I've found the most valuable work relationships in my life usually come to fruition two to three years after I've met someone. 🙂
Liz, this was a great post and a fantastic reminder for me that the reason I engage in this community is to learn from others and share what I know with people that could benefit from it.
We have an opportunity to use these tools to provide value to others and make a difference in the communities we live in. Everyone now can have a voice. Whether or not we are heard depends on how we use it.
P.S. Hi Gini!
Yeah, Patrick,
I love what you say here.
Everyone now can have a voice. Credibility is when actions match the words.
Awesome post- I wonder how many of the people who have jumped the social media shark really only intended to use social media as a means to fame and fortune in the first place?
I'm not sure any of us knew the power of this genre or even know it now. But I've never been a one to worry about folks who game the system … I find them irrelevant. heh heh
Leadership in social media is not unlike any other kind of leadership, it takes integrity, integration of beliefs and values, and the continuing of inspiration by example to help followers be their best selves and to encourage those qualities we want the arena to secure. Too often our SM leaders forget the very thing they are trying to lead…social interaction and community development of a place where individual voices matter.. Sadly, their influence often becomes overly "celebrity" driven instead of people empowering.
Yes and no,
I find that the people of quality are only influences by the influencers of quality. Don't you?

Hi Matt,
For all of the times that our parents and teachers told us to do our homework, we still have to learn the value of that for ourselves. eh?
GENUINE, I meant genuine! Not the dumb word misspelled I put in there… can I edit 🙂
No need to worry about folks who don't live up to your ideal and values. The beauty of the Internet is that there are so many who do. Spend your time with them. Life is better there. 🙂
I know, you are correct. I just wanted to get that off my chest. Get the feeling more than a few others are of the same mind.
What a wonderful post to read… and I couldn't agree with each of your points more.
I have no problem with promotion, but I've learned that some of the "experts" and "gurus" are mostly hype. The adage "practice what you preach" still rings true to me. When you start to believe your own hype, that's the end of the road.
Even in the social media world, most of us can see through someone who is a fake.
Again, thanks for this great post.
Be a star, not by your number of followers, but how you follow them. I think whether someone has 200 followers or 200,000 the lessons apply. BTW everyone knows it's blue M7M's.
Be a star. I think the lessons apply whether you have 200 or 200,000 followers. It is not how many followers you have, but how you follow them. BTW, eveyrone knows it's blue M&M's
You bet the blue ones are best, especially the blue from the UK!
Blah, blah, blah. This post is puerile unless you're willing to name names.
Why? Learn from what doesn't work. No need to name who's doing what doesn't work. No need to pound people who are learning that. Your philosophy and mine part there.

Personally, I don't really classify anyone as a social media star. There are people who are good at social media, but it's not like I would ever ask for an autograph or anything. Do people ask cardiologists for their autograph? What about the chief of police, do you ask them for autographs. The problem seems to be with the people following these "stars." Why would you ask a blogger for an autograph. Stop treating them like royalty and they'll stop the entitled behavior.
Love this post. Too bad there will be plenty of people who don't realize this post is about them. My biggest gripe is with social media experts who suddenly became "marketing" experts simply because they became popular via social media. To me, it has to go the other way around.
Great post. However, while I emotionally agree with the first point about talking more than listening, I disagree from a practical, job-seeking perspective. I specifically got feedback that I wasn't called in for a second interview for my dream job because I hadn't been "proactive" enough in my first interview. I was trying to listen! But they wanted someone with ideas. All my interviews after that I came in with a lot of ideas (even if they ended up not being sensible once I had context) and got called back to more interviews. :\

Great post, Liz.
As I read your post, I was reminded of thought leaders from other industries that say one thing and go do another. I think this happens all of the time.
Also, it is very easy to stand up and say "We should be doing X,Y and Z" and get people excited. However – it is an entirely other thing to go out and execute X,Y, and Z.
Thanks again for the post. Loved it!

#1 Horse bites off Indonesian man's testicle, spits it out03-12-2009, 08:21 AMAN Indonesian villager had to be rushed to hospital after a horse bit off one of his testicles.
The 35-year-old man was unloading sand from a horse-drawn cart at a construction site in Sulawesi earlier this week when the attack occurred, Indonesia's state-run news agency Antara reported.
This story begs two questions that remain unanswered. 1 - what? was the guy NAKED??? 2 - What on earth do you do to a horse to get it to want to bite your nuts off?? I'm serious. I wanna know to make sure that I NEVER EVER do that thing to a horse . . . .Stand up for what is right, even if you have to stand alone.
03-12-2009, 08:30 AMI have learned now that while those who speak about one's miseries usually hurt, those who keep silence hurt more.

CONJOINT family therapy is generally a very inclusive form of treatment. It is significant, however, that young children rarely participate in it. Bell1 justifies the exclusion of young children by emphasizing that those under 9 cannot adequately partake in verbal interchange—the mainstay of family treatment. Of the major conjoint therapists, only Satir 2 makes a point of including children between the ages of 4 and 6—but she does not elaborate on their manner of interaction during the sessions.
Therapy involving the young child with his parent has been reported, however, in other circles. Axline,3 Moustakas,4 Fraiberg,5 Schwarz,6 and Furer7 all utilize the parent in the playroom primarily as an adjunct to their play therapy for the child, while Russo8 includes the parent in the playroom for purposes of behavior therapy.*

On our Gallery pages are some lovely photographs taken by Sarah at Crane Garden Buildings. The photos are of work done at The Norfolk Hospice, Tapping House, Hillington by Crane Garden Buildings and include some products donated to the project by Middleton Aggregates. I'm sure you'll agree the finished article looks fantastic. If you'd like to find out more about the project, you can visit Crane's website which can be found here or also on our Links page.
Middleton Aggregates was first established in the late 1970's under the trading name of J W Lemon and operated as a haulage contractor from Middleton Service Station in Norfolk.
The company's activities subsequently expanded to include quarry operation and the retailing of minerals throughout Norfolk, South Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire. 1986 saw the formation of Middleton Aggregates Ltd as growth continued.
Despite generally difficult trading conditions in the industry in the early 1990's the company continued to trade successfully, due in part to the winning of large local contracts.
In 1996 the company acquired A R Tilbrook Ltd, based near Bury St Edmunds. This increased the company's involvement in mineral recycling and plant hire operations. The latter activity was further augmented by the purchase in 1998 of G A Slingsby & Sons.
These acquisitions, together with the continued growth and development of the company, has resulted in Middleton Aggregates Ltd becoming one of the leading suppliers of aggregates, fill materials and plant hire to the construction industry in East Anglia. In conjunction with our policy of continuous improvement, it is hoped that we can continue to achieve steady and sustainable growth, to the benefit of our employees, our shareholders and our customers.

Individuals experience the effects of running differently depending on their physiology and overall lifestyle. Running can keep you awake when you need a burst of energy, but it can also help you get a better night's sleep. Some runners report feeling fatigued during long runs, not more awake. Others experience an increase in energy if they continue to run despite fatigue.
Exercise and Energy
Cardiovascular exercise such as running can give you a burst of energy. Regular running can cause your organs to function more efficiently, giving you more energy in general, over time. Having more energy can make you feel more awake. Additionally, the chemicals your brain releases after a run, such as dopamine, can improve your mood, decreasing feelings of exhaustion related to stress, depression or anxiety. A 2009 study by the Associated Professional Sleep Society found that people who exercised more slept less, overall.
Running and Fatigue
Fatigue can set in during a run. Ergoreceptors, nerves that respond to metabolites such as calcium, lactate and hydrogen that muscles release during exercise, can tell the brain to slow down, according to a report in "The New York Times." But distance runners can override this message and use muscle reserves to push through to the end of a long exercise session.
Post-Run Rest
Don't confuse feeling awake with needing to take another run. The intense effect of running on the body requires rest so that your muscles can recover. Overdoing running can lead to excessive tiredness, sore joints, heavy legs, plateaus in speed and injury. Depending on the intensity and duration of your runs, take enough days off to allow your body to recover so you can function at maximum capacity.
Night and Day
Running at night can be the activity you need to stay awake and motivated to cook a nutritious dinner and enjoy some time with your family. Alternatively, running at night might cause you to feel unable to fall asleep at a reasonable hour; in this case, run in the morning. Monitor the effect your runs have on your level of alertness and plan your days accordingly to experience these effects as a positive result.

Harrison Tries to Score With Development
Nearly a year after the Red Bull Arena opened its doors in Harrison, N.J., the urban rebirth some had hoped for the Hudson County town has yet to gel, but signs of development are beginning to emerge.
Once a thriving manufacturing and distribution center nicknamed the "Beehive of Industry," Harrison was home to factories for Thomas A. Edison and Radio Corp. of America, among others. But it had turned into bleak, brownfield-littered landscape along the Passaic River as most of the factory lights had gone out by the 1970s, putting the town into a tailspin.
The March opening of a $200 million, 25,000-seat soccer stadium was meant to be the centerpiece of an ambitious redevelopment plan put together more than a decade ago. The plan—covering more than 250 acres, a full third of the town's total footprint—envisions building residential and retail space in various projects as well as a new PATH train station.
The plan has gone through a series of hurdles. The Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center destroyed Harrison's direct rail connection to Manhattan and set back the town's redevelopment prospects. More recently, investment plans languished during the worst of the economic downturn.
"We had the plan, the investors and the developers and then 9/11 happened," said Greg Kowalski, executive director of the Harrison Redevelopment Agency.
A Hampton Inn on Passaic Avenue, which was part of the redevelopment plan, opened in 2004. Now, several previously dormant projects are making progress.
The first phase of Harrison Commons, a mixed-use development located across from the Red Bull Arena, is expect to finish construction in the next few months. It will include rental apartments as well as retail space, and the first occupants are expected to move in this summer.
"The Harrison PATH stop is the only stop in the 13-stop system that has not been developed," said Richard Miller, chief executive of Pegasus Group. Pegasus and Ironstate Development, both of Hoboken, are developers for the project.
Mr. Miller hopes the project will appeal to "young professionals who will be attracted to the exciting downtown setting and convenient commute to Manhattan."
Another major project that is in the works is the Riverbend at Harrison, which is intended to transform 35 acres into condos, townhouses, apartments and office space.
Peter Cocoziello, CEO of Advance Realty Group, the developer of the Riverbend project, said the town was "in the process of reviewing our plans" and that he expected construction to begin later this year.
And just along the waterfront, Millrose Developers, a joint venture between Millennium Homes and Roseland Property Co., completed the first phase of River Park at Harrison in 2007. The project included 176 housing units and a riverwalk park along the Passaic river and was sold out soon after launch. The second phase of the project is under way.
Despite the limited number of completed projects so far, many local business owners are pleased with the impact of Red Bull Arena on the town, which has deep soccer roots.
"For us, it's a bonus because there was nothing here before," said Jerry Fernandez, co-owner of the Spanish Pavillion on Harrison Avenue. The restaurant, which was recently featured on the reality television show "Kitchen Nightmares," hosts pre-game parties as well as outdoor buffets on game days.
Rick Rady, the manager of La Pizza, a restaurant a few blocks away on Harrison Avenue, points to the throngs of soccer fans who travel from out of state, stay at the Hampton Inn and patronize restaurants like his. Much less benefit comes from "the ones who take the PATH, just get off and on the train after the game," he said.
Some locals are skeptical about the extent to which the arena can spearhead development in Harrison. "They have a handful of games in a year," said Al Silva, a local real-estate agent. "You really can't stay in business here based on the arena."
Others point to the congestion and infrastructure problems faced by the town on game days. The new Harrison PATH station is to be built over the next few years, although the exact timeline for the project is unclear.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates PATH, continues to acquire property for the Harrison station modernization project, with more than $2.5 million included in this year's capital budget for purchases, according to Port Authority spokesman Ron Marisco.
Red Bull Arena, meanwhile, is gearing up for a new season, which includes two summer concerts by indie jam band Dispatch—with the first concert nearly sold out.
"Right now we are the brightest candle on the cake," said Erik Stover, managing director of the New York Red Bulls, "but the rest of the development might be more important to the people of Harrison."

Dolphin�s owner Stephen Ross, January 4, 2016 after a season ending win; Dolphins finished 6-10; no playoff appearance
"....if there is activity in the ball prior to the rubbing action....
Bill Belichick, Sat Jan 24, 2015
"You may think that you are some kind of god to these people. But we both know what you really are."
"What's that? A criminal?"
"Worse. A politician."

The whole concept of "LOL @ Jets" was comical to begin with coming from fans of a team that hasn't won a playoff game since 2000.
I hate the jets but hard for me to laugh when they have a better record with the team they have this year.
Some want to label me a bad fan because I dont want to jump up and down about our recent success of playin .500 ball.
Its like we are in a bad dream we just cant wake up from.

The NBA, like other sports leagues, has been shaped by its history.
In an attempt to expand and enrich its history, the NBA employs a system where it annually takes its best player at every position and elects them to the NBA First Team.
These teams always look monstrous on paper, but what if the NBA decided to look into the vast reaches of its history, instead of its previous season?
How much more formidable would that team be?

Igby Goes Down
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that they should think twice about letting young teens watch this film. The hero suffers much emotional and physical abuse at the hands of authority figures. The film features teens and adults abusing alcohol, as well as illegal and prescription drugs. It also includes semi-graphic scenes of teenage sex and extramarital affairs. The characters use profane language freely. The film starts and ends with the assisted suicide of a character.

What's the story?
IGBY GOES DOWN tells the dark story of a trust fund baby (Kieran Culkin), whose family includes an abusive and insensitive mother ( Susan Sarandon), a depressive father in residence at the "Maryland home for the befuddled" (Bill Pullman), and his nasty overachieving older brother Oliver (Ryan Phillippe). Flunking out of school and smoking whatever he can find, Igby heads to New York to work for his godfather (Jeff Goldblum). In the city, Igby finds escape in a waitress (Claire Danes) and a drugged up artist (Amanda Peet). New York turns out to be less than the haven Igby had hoped for. He must navigate family secrets, disdain for his dying mother, and drug abuse as he tries to find himself.
Is it any good?
Igby Goes Down is a perfect vehicle for the depressed Generation Y teen. Only Kids can make this film seem like an upper. Full of trauma at the hands of deceitful and abusive adults, the film constructs the adolescent as almost helpless to the whims of those in power. The film lacks wholly redeemable characters. Even our hero -- stoned, escapist, and self-centered -- fails to come off as very likable.
However, this film has an engaging narrative and interesting (if not very nice) characters. The music of bands such as Coldplay and the Dandy Warhols underscores the edgy teen angst. Nominated for the Golden Globe, Culkin (The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys) does a fine star turn as the troubled Igby and proves to be more than just a footnote in the Culkin brood.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about the parent-child relationship in their own family unit. How do you match up against Igby's parents? Does your child identify with Igby? They may also want to use this opportunity to talk to their kids about drugs and feelings of isolation.

England, United Kingdom
When the Jolly Cricketers came on the market, Seer Green residents Chris and Amanda couldn't resist. Now pretty plants clamber up the brickwork outside, while behind the bar, optics have been replaced by sweet shop jars filled with roasted nuts, olives and lollipops – a picture of individuality matched by a freehouse ale selection that shows off the best of local breweries. Ornate fireplaces, oddment-cluttered shelves and pine tables create an unpretentious backdrop for cider-braised ham, crispy poached egg, pineapple chutney and triple-cooked chips; or succulent beef rump, tongue and cheek with potato purée. Coffee mornings, book clubs and pub quizzes contribute to a community spirit but do nothing to dilute this pub's new-found dining status.

Maana solves the integration and data plumbing problems at Fortune 500 companies. Maana's human guided machine assisted software automates 80% of the mining and correlations between time series and different data types and creates knowledge graphs of the data so we can do the analytics faster."
– A Fortune 100 Company
Maana learns about the 'kinds of things' that are important and relevant from raw data based on the properties, types, and frequencies of the data. The orchestration engine at Maana's core launches a battery of analysis routines on the raw data. Output of these routines passes new metadata to a next group of routines for further analysis, which leads eventually to 'formation of the kinds of things' from the raw data. The way these 'kinds' are learnt and presented by Maana is 'emergent', meaning that a 'kind' and its correlations with other 'kinds' evolve based on crawling new data, new routines added to orchestration by the customer, and on feedback loop (e.g., search queries and results returned)."
– A Fortune 100 Company
We engaged Maana to see if there could be a different approach to search over data in technical databases across our corporation. We have struggled with existing search engines that do not allow us to present technical data in an integrated form – results often provide too much detail to be useful, and generally they have no context or are out of context. Maana created connections based on what they found in our data. Using Maana we are able to search our datasets in ways that have not been possible with any other search technology."
– A Fortune 100 Company
One of the greatest challenges in Healthcare IT is to quickly develop an understanding of clinical meaning, productivity or outcomes from a vast variety of data sources. Yet information is locked away in unique structures that until now no one had developed a tool to unlock without significant data science and IT intervention. Maana was an eye opener: The speed at which Maana allows us to operationalize raw big data into actionable insights via existing lines-of-business applications is unprecedented."
– A Fortune 100 Company
The big in Big Data is nothing new to corporations of our size. The single biggest challenge is the inability to put it in context. Although we have access to an enormous amount of data in multiple silos across the enterprise, we don't have that one platform necessary to link the data together into a comprehensive context from which to draw conclusions and operationalize it. Traditional reporting, business intelligence, and analytical techniques are not capable of being this platform. This is where we think Maana Search is going to help us."

Skip to comments.I am what I feel: the new definition of identity
Posted on 06/18/2014 9:44:40 AM PDT by wagglebee
Ask a group of people today—especially high school and college students—what makes them them, and you'll likely get as many responses as respondents. They may say, "I am what my genes make me," or maybe "I am what I experience," or "I am what I choose."
And soon, you'll notice two distinct themes emerging. They're the answers our culture increasingly gives to the question of sexual identity—as if that's all there is to identity. And, ironically, they contradict each other.
We hear the first one all the time from advocates of so-called same-sex "marriage": "I was born this way," or to quote rap artist Macklemore, "I can't change even if I tried." We're all familiar with the argument by now: homosexual attraction is an innate characteristic—maybe genetic. Therefore, denying same-sex attracted individuals the "right" to get married is the same as racism.
But an alternate narrative has appeared on the horizon, and by "horizon," I mean the cover of a recent TIME Magazine issue, where it's used to promote the "T" in the acronym "LGBT." The "T," of course, stands for "transgender,"—those who say their biological sex and their perceived gender don't match. The mantra here goes, "I was born this way, but I want to change. In fact, I have a right to change."
So we're told that the biology of the "L," the "G," and the "B" can't change. But when it comes to "T," the biology doesn't matter.
The new narrative about human identity is emerging. Instead of "I am my biology," or "I am what I choose," our culture has landed on, "I am what I feel."
Confused? Well, you're not alone. But believe it or not, there's a whole history to this. All the way back in 1989 a book called "After the Ball" was published by Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen, who laid out their proposal to—as the subtitle said—help America "Conquer Its Fear and Hatred of Gays in the 90s." In their book (which they openly called "propaganda"), Kirk and Madsen encouraged activists to use the "born this way" argument even though they knew it wasn't exactly true, but in order to paint same-sex attracted individuals as being victims of nature.
"The public should be persuaded that gays are victims of circumstance," Kirk and Madsen wrote, "for all practical purposes, gays should be considered to have been 'born gay'—even though sexual orientation, for most humans, seems to be the product of a complex interaction between innate predispositions and environmental factors…"
Say what? After the endless repetition of the "born this way" argument, you wouldn't think there's anything at all "complex" about sexual orientation. But now that "gay marriage" is considered a done deal, the story is changing—and it's changing fast.
Suddenly, sexual orientation is a choice again. Writing at The Huffington Post, Tracy Baim tells us "I do know some women and men who identify as gay or lesbian who have changed back and forth in their identity," she says, "and sometimes [they] identify as bisexual. Why should it matter what we call ourselves?"
Writing in Slate, Michael Carey admits that "the 'born this way' argument has been politically useful, but the moral argument for acceptance of gay relationships doesn't require it."
Out of all of this, the new narrative about human identity is emerging. Instead of "I am my biology," or "I am what I choose," our culture has landed on, "I am what I feel." And someone's feelings must not be challenged.
This answer to the question of identity untethers us from biological, social, and biblical realities, and replaces them with a despotism of the subjective. In effect, we now are our feelings.
Jesus had an analogy for what happens when we build on unstable ground like our feelings. Christians should take note of how a false story re-shaped millions of imaginations. And in my upcoming book on same-sex "marriage" written with Sean McDowell, we document this history. And we talk about how Christians can engage this brave new culture we now live in. Come to BreakPoint.org to learn how to pre-order the book.
And finally Christian, we need to be ready to receive and love those that are burned out by the lie that feelings define them, and offer them their true identity given to them by the One who never changes.

I feel like a non-profit today. I think I'll stop paying taxes.
You are whatever you feel. Today Joe feels he is a refrigerator. Yesterday, he was a chicken salad. Tomorrow, he will be a Democrat.
Everyone should claim to be a black female lesbian. Let the government pull out their skin-tone charts and lip calipers like the good nazis they are to prove otherwise.
Transgender is so last decade. I am going trans-species. I think I am a canine, a dog in other words. So I demand the Government acknowledge this and allow my my rights. What rights are those you ask? The right to urinate in public. The right to sniff others especially women. The right to lick my own —— well you get the point. This whole business is silly stupid, wrong, evil and will lead to nothing but the destruction of civilized society..........
I remember a former second level manager of mine gave me an example of how people can see things differently and it doesn't mean someone has to be wrong.
To be clear, I was working with a couple of women that were the most opinionated - and wrong about it - people I ever met. I tried to politely push back and they complained two levels up that I had to "always be right". It was actually pretty comical in the end, but that is another story. And FWIW, one of my forte's in the cubicle farm is that I get along with everybody.
That clarification aside...
He asked me what I'd do if I was walking down the street and saw a snake on the sidewalk. I said, "I dunno, Maybe walk around it." He added "or if it seemed poisonous, maybe call animal control?" I said that I agreed.
He then said, ok, what if another person sees it and they see a rope? What would they do? I said, "I dunno. Maybe pick it up and throw it in the trash."
He said, "Do you see how two people can see the same thing but see it differently?" I said, "Yeah, but if it is a rattle snake the guy that thinks it's a rope is gonna get bitten."
He didn't know how to respond.
This is what arguing with liberals is like on the internet, except the annonymity allows them to easily respond with their MO - Ad hominem.
For the longest time we were told to accept our bodies as they are. Don't feel shame due to not being skinny or tall.
If you don't like having a penis, cut it off.
We're messing up the psyche of all Americans. Islamicists have an inverted morality and the lefties have no morality and normal Americans are caught in between.
How can you fully utilize your rights, if you've no money.
I propose we subsidize your lifestyle so you can live the American dream and have all of your God given rights to act like a dog.
My Ex defines you by her (mis-)diagnosis of you.
Hubby's mantra is "You're only as old as the woman you feel."
"I feel like a hundred dollars."- Ty Webb from the movie Caddyshack.
Still a lot of crazy in those eyes no matter what side of the gender coin turns up that day.
What if I am only feeling one woman, do I age with her?
It's a problem that age can help cure. Wait until "Peggy Sue" feels that first prostate flareup. Some bad knews fer ya, bud - you're a guy. Wish that one away.
I don't know about you, but! I FEEL that I would like to smack the FEELINGS out of some of these idiot tools!
Yup. Hubby's only feeling one woman, too, but I'm younger, so he's ok with that.
Exactly. A generation without a moral compass. If it feels good do it.
Nothing has changed since the 60's.
If I wake up tomorrow and feel like I am a gay black man. Could I use the men's room in the hood in safety without fearing foul words or deeds hurled my way? Would all the gangbangers be forced to pretend that I am not a petit, yellow-haired white girl?
This is what arguing with liberals is like on the internet, except the annonymity allows them to easily respond with their MO - Ad hominem.
Don't forget every argument has to include why the problem was caused by "W-Booooosh!"
Dont forget every argument has to include why the problem was caused by W-Booooosh!
To which I say, "We did! It is the GOPe that didn't complain. But you guys seem to think that two wrongs make a right. They don't."
Remember Adam of Mythbusters comment "I reject your reality and substitute my own"? It was meant as a joke but now many people seem to take this nonsense seriously, not only for sexual identity but also in politics. Allowing people to live in a fantasy world is cruel and will eventually cause great pain and suffering. You can ignore reality but reality will not ignore you. Eventually it will catch up with you.
Clever, but meaningless.
Subjectivism has it's problems, but despotism is not one of them.
Yes some people can harangue you into accepting their subjective opinion, but they're just being inconsistent at that point and no longer being consistently subjective.
The despotism isn't in subjectivism, but in the bastardized version that stupid people adopt.

A story that happened in another world.
Our adventurous journey below the waterline.
A gloomy breeze roams the streets of the city. Monstrous shadows creep across eyeless windows. Night has fallen, and it is raining.
Music Inspired By The Dresden Files
The Dark Eye Countless fantastic stories and adventures have already been set to music by Erdenstern. After eleven concept albums with atmospheric symphonic soundtracks for role playing games, we now start out for the online version of The Dark Eye. DIGITAL on BANDCAMP

Der Cthulhu Soundtrack Wir schreiben das Jahr 1933. Eine unerschrockene Forschungsexpedition bricht ins ewige Eis der Antarktis auf, um ihre letzten Geheimnisse freizulegen. Doch was die Forscher finden, übersteigt die menschliche Vorstellungskraft. So wecken die Forscher ungewollt ein Grauen auf, das besser unter ewigem Eis verborgen geblieben wäre......

Harry is a simple shawl that shows off self-striping yarn beautifully. It´s mostly in stockinette stitch with a garter eyelet pattern at the bottom.

I can't help being sooo pressed! When I poas this morning the line was a lot darker :) I tried to be cautiously excited but that flew out the window within the 1st few hours of getting that faint BFP on Tuesday. With ODD I didn't document the pregnancy with pictures (which I regret) but I plan on doing it with this one. I took the first picture this morning at 11dpo.
Have any of you ladies taken that first belly picture? If so and you'd like to share, feel free.
9/13/2012 ~ 3 weeks 4 days

I did this with both of my boys! So fun! I usually take them on the same day as my dr. appt. so I don't forget how far along I am.
~ Elizabeth ~
Mom to my 3 boys~ 1/08, 11/10 & 5/13
First pic was on 9/24/11 at 37 weeks...a week and a half before I had my dd. I was 4 cm for almost a whole month! And 2nd pic is one year later at 5weeks and 3days. I am really bloated and a tummy from last pregnancy!
Me(33) & DH(34) = DD (12/09), DD (10/11) , DS (5/13) & DS (7/14).

11/13/12 Lost baby #2
I'm going to start taking mine at 8W. I got cute belly bump stickers from etsy so I will know exactly what week it is when I look back at them. I'm thinking about doing a flipbook with all the pictures.
I usually upload them to my babycenter account and then I'll right click over the image, select copy and then paste it into the comments of which ever thread I'm posting it in. Hope this helps :)
Thank you tammylou! :)
Pregnancy #1 I did bare belly pics, but since pinterest I wanted to get more creative with these pics :) I started at 5 weeks but they all look the same as above lol.
I love looking at everyone else's bumps :)

Representative views and paths for volume models
Document typeConference report
Date issued2008-08-27
PublisherSpringer Verlag
Rights accessOpen Access
Volume data models are becoming larger and larger as the capture technology improves. Thus, their visualization requires high computational power. The automatic presentation of volume models through representative images and/or exploration paths becomes more and more useful. Representative views are also useful for document illustration, fast data quality evaluation, or model libraries documentation. Exploration paths are also useful for video demonstrations and previsualization of captured data. In this paper we present a fast, adaptive method for the selection of representative views and the automatic generation of exploration paths for volume models. Our algorithm is based on multi-scale entropy and algorithmic complexity. These views and paths reveal informative parts of a model given a certain transfer function. We show that our method is simple and easy to incorporate in medical visualization tools.
