FacilityONE® Technologies LLC Officially Launches Newest Product

FacilityONE Technologies, LLC, which provides a cloud-based Facility Information Solution (FIS) that enhances a building's functional and economic lifespan and boosts employee productivity, announced today the release of its new data analytics & visualization platform called SMARTPRINT Alpha™. Alpha provides Business Intelligence (BI) as a fully-managed Service allowing facility operators and mangers to convert raw data about their facility into defensible reports and charts that are designed to take advantage of the way the human eye processes visual data.

"We believe (SMARTPRINT Alpha) is unique because most of our competition has charting tools for users to create their own charts and that's not what we're doing at all," says Dr. Robin Alston, CTO, FacilityONE. "We are creating the charts for you automatically based on good design practices and our experts interviewing the customer to understand the processes and challenges that are important to them. We use information that's in the system, information provided by customers to us and then automating the chart/report generation to provide the best picture for answering the questions at hand." To help accomplish this FacilityONE partnered with Tableau, a leading business intelligence visualization company based in Seattle, Washington. Click here to read the latest news.

New and existing FacilityONE customers will be assigned a personal product manager who will help set up each customer's analytics platform that can include the following information for example:

Obama Defeats Trump in the Power of Personal Brands, According to MBLM’s BFF Report

Barack Obama defeated Donald Trump in MBLM's inaugural Brand-Intimate Famous Figures (BFF) Study. Entertainers, athletes, politicians and spiritual leaders drive much of the trends, beliefs and culture we consume today. To better understand this impact, marketing firm, MBLM, has added to its annual Brand Intimacy Report, the largest study of brands based on emotions. The agency created its BFF Study to detail which current icons are the most intimate brands in the U.S. The results demonstrate the strong emotional connections both Barack and Michelle Obama – who ranked first and second – have with younger Americans and women. The strong showing by Michelle Obama is particularly noteworthy, as she was the highest-ranking woman and also popular among diverse ages and with both women and men.

Tom Hanks and Donald Trump, dominant among older Americans and men, were the third and fourth top intimate brands in the U.S., according to MBLM's report. The Top 10 was rounded out by: Dwayne Johnson, Paul McCartney, Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Pope Francis and Rihanna.

"What does it mean to make it on this Top 10? It means that Americans over the age of 18 felt the strongest emotional connection to these people, describing their relationships in terms of forming attachments and identifying with them. This is not a list of people that are admired, it is people we feel involved with and bonded to. These celebrities, by design or by default, have created brands with powerful emotional connections," stated Mario Natarelli, managing partner, MBLM. "Personal brands are going to continue to play a tremendous role in impacting our politics, beliefs and behaviors."

One award is given to an incoming freshman and sophomore, while two scholarships are offered to juniors and seniors.

Nine Aladtec recipients for 2018, were recognized at a recent UW-River Falls Foundation event.
Computer Science honorees included: Sophie Langlois and Riley Swanson, of River Falls; Alex Pahl, Pine Island, Minn.; Brady Lange, Lewiston, Minn.; Zain Kaiser, Edina, Minn.; and Zach Kuznia, Lakeville, Minn.

Founded in 2003, Aladtec has employed dozens of UW-River Falls students and graduates through the years, including some who began work as summer interns and were subsequently hired to full-time positions as software engineers upon graduation. Several years ago, six UW-RF students spent their summer completing development testing on new Aladtec features. Some continued as part-time employees during the school year, and received Aladtec job offers upon graduation.

Aladtec's current roster of 42 employees includes 19 UW-RF graduates -- six with Computer Science degrees -- along with another three people who are either now attending or completed a portion of their education at UW-RF. Several other UW-RF graduates gained experience at Aladtec before moving on to careers with Google, 3M, and other large firms.

Scholarship candidates must possess a minimum major GMA of 3.0 or higher and must be actively engaged in the computer science or marketing communications fields. U-River Falls Foundation staff select recipients annually with assistance from the University Scholarship Committee. Immediate family members of Aladtec owners are ineligible.

UW-River Falls began a tradition of recognizing scholarship donors and recipients with an annual recognition event. On Sunday, Oct. 28th, some 180 donors, students, campus staff gathered to meet and exchange stories.

Cheyenne Booth, a junior from Rice Lake, Wis., told attendees that receiving a scholarship made a significant impact on her life.

"Because I don't need to stress about paying for college, I am able to choose jobs and participate in class and campus opportunities that fill my soul instead of my bank account.

"On behalf of myself, and all the other recipients, thank you and know that we are continuing to acknowledge your generosity and are paying it forward, each in our own way," Booth said.

The University of Wisconsin-River Falls is a member of the University of Wisconsin System. More than 6,000 graduate and undergraduate students pursue degrees in the College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences; College of Arts and Sciences; College of Business and Economics; College of Education and Professional Studies; and the Office of Outreach and Continuing Education

Joe Cianciotto Takes Readers Back to 1980's on Facebook

Those who find everything about the late1980s and early 1990s to be their favorite era can now take a trip down memory lane with a new Facebook page homage by New Yorker Joe Cianciotto.

Cianciotto, who has been active on Facebook for years, has developed a large community of followers since creating a Facebook page dedicated to all things late 1980s and early 1990s -- which is when he says he peaked. To further engage his followers, as well as to attract new ones, he recently introduced a revival of the "Shriek of the Week" from the good old days of WDRE in New York at https://www.facebook.com/pg/Joseph.Cianciotto.Throwback/posts/?ref=page_internal. Continue reading.

As part of the new online segment, Facebook users can expect Cianciotto to share snippets about music and artists who have made a major impact on pop culture from this era. A new band or artist will be announced every Thursday. So far, the "Shriek of the Week" has received nothing but positive reviews and feedback from users.

A recent "Shriek of the Week" segment was dedicated to the B-52's "Roam," which went extremely mainstream in 1990. Cianciotto recalled spending a week listening to this song in Canada during his senior year of high school.

Cianciotto also spent another segment discussing "Kiss Them for Me" by Siouxsie and the Banshees, which debuted in 1991. According to Cianciotto, the band ended up headlining the very first Lollapalooza after this song became highly successful. Cianciotto explained that the moment he listened to and posted the song online as part of his segment was likely his first time hearing the song sober. Read related news here.

Cianciotto's ultimate goal with his Facebook page, and especially his new "Shriek of the Week" homage, is to take readers back to a time that was filled with iconic, one-of-a-kind music and artists. These artists were a major part of many people's upbringing, so Cianciotto's hope is that revisiting them will add a little joy to his readers' days both now and in the months and years ahead.

"Having had the privilege to build compelling, immersive worlds for the past 30 years, I see VR as the natural, powerful evolution in storytelling. There's no doubt that virtual reality's ability to engage the user at an emotional and experiential level is fundamentally changing digital media," said Rand Miller, CEO, Cyan. We formed Cyan Ventures with the belief that now is the time to explore the new possibilities in VR storytelling. And what better way to start, than by teaming with our friend Chuck Carter, one of the amazing, world-building artists of Myst, to release ZED, a lovely, and deeply moving VR experience."
