SCENARIO 1
Two companies that competed with
each other poached each others interns. One such poached intern was
working on an idea that would revolutionize plastic packaging. His
internship was for the summer, and the company said that they had the
sole rights to it. The other company then shared the patent. The poached
and hence shamed intern was left with nothing. He at least has learned
to never share his ideas without protecting them. One tough lesson.
SCENARIO 2
A
man abused his spouse and she wrote about that after getting away from
him. The book was a best seller for weeks and established her for life.
The man , her tormentor, said he deserved half of everything because if
he did not abuse her she would not have a story!!!By that math all
criminals whose victims get famous have a right to compensation?
SCENARIO 3
A
Phd student from Russia states that his discovery of imaginal disc
related properties in the embryos of Drosophila spp was stolen by his
Professor, Dr.Larsen. Foreign students seem to be very vulnerable.
This has been my rant for some time. However, I am not depressed!
I
read about a young girl who proved that an invasive species ,
the Lionfish, could invade freshwater as well AS SEAWATER! Her parents
are in the academia. All she got was a mention from one of the
professors she was working with in a publication. I would have given her
her own publication or a primary author status.
After all these years I am realizing that
the industry as well as the academia prey upon those who have brilliant
idea. Is it any wonder that Zuckerburg, Larry Paige, Elizabeth Holmes
and hundreds of other inventors are walking away from traditional
schools? The Khan academy is one such place. Check it out.
Now this is the ERA of MOOCS, Youtube and 3-d printers. I have hopes. Anyone can invent, create a prototype and sell licenses. The ones that cheat and copy will not have the brilliance to handle all problems.
In the past it was hard to get published. Now there is the internet!
With self publishing tools, we have done away with protocols involving professionals who behaved badly.
The
more I read about bullied students, interns and employees, the more I
am convinced that one should always hold back their best ideas.
Plagiarism, theft and cheating has made me write and present to you
work that has a tenth of the effort that I normally put in.
Dear copycat: I am glad you decided to copy. I now hide my work better. It will be open to a handful AFTER I take steps.

Here is an excerpt from the site above :
"DocCraig said...
My
partner also had a bad experience at the University of Leicester.
Basically they treat international students like s***. Many
international students are better than their corrupt mentors back home
in Asia.
Yet, some are getting failed and sent back home with no
degree and all the shame that comes with it. External examiners in this
case had no expertise in the field and failed on the basis of the thesis
not be related to Geography etc.
Most professors have no idea
about how other cultures operate and how they perpetuate corruption by
failing good students and allowing older corruption lecturers back home
prosper. Some external examiners will only pass high-end super rich
international students who were fed with English from birth.
Yet
in some subject areas they pass weak Chinese students in social science
fields as they generate so much money for these programmes.
This
is known to happen across more than one school and education in
particular has well-known cases which they brush under the carpet.
External examiners are King, nobody can cross them and I would urge
students to select their own external as academics seriously are flawed
and don't know how to match external examiners to students.
We
have had to delay having children because of the unfair decision whilst
this university continues to market itself as not elitist.
UK
universities offer poor vlaue for money and poor training within
departments. Some international students swop subjects in order to
enroll on PhD progrmames because they may have much better English than
their peers, however, they struggle with the new subject content with no
previous background which the university is not factoring in.
US
universities provide a much better PhD training from what have heard-
beware of the social science PhD in the UK. I have heard too many tales
of how long it has taken people to finish.
"
WILL YOU EVER TRUST A PROFESSOR OR A MENTOR OR A COLLEAGUE EVER AGAIN? NO ONE SHOULD!
I KNOW NOW, THAT I WOULD NEVER EVER TRUST ANYONE WITH MY GOOD IDEAS!
DEAR
READER, PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT! THOSE OF YOU WHO LEAVE THE MOST
MEANINGFUL , FREQUENT COMMENTS WILL GET RECOGNITION AND OF COURSE MY
SUPPORT AND GRATITUDE!!
MUCH OBLIGED! :)

THE MOST POPULAR BLOG, PLAGIARISM
#iblogstats
The point of this blog is to address statistics of blogs, vlogs, microblogs.
I spoke to an engineering student about his designs and he said he wanted to patent and publish, but that the funding came from the department, so ownership issues arise.
I asked him to blog about it. He said: My department may find out and that means I have posted information that needs to be approved first.
IS it fair that he go through all that? Nope.
He also said that there were many copycats around. I said: Hey man, electrical engineers cannot copy material that easily.
He then showed me his lab partner's submissions. Clearly this student was the first to come up with the design and concept, but the lab partner, while pretending to be nice, copied everything. We both sat down, I cancelled my one-hour workout and we both dug up information on how the original work from the electrical engineering student was plagiarized.
We submitted evidence to the Office of Academic Integrity. We accomplished that in FOUR hours. The international student was expelled and he went back to his home country. He will continue to plagiarize. He cost the other student hours of loss of work. My point is simple: Plagiarism abounds and this is preventing good blogs from showing up. I invite my readers to provide their solutions.
My personal experience with plagiarism:
After 10+ years in the world of hardcore statistics, computing and research, I have so much material that I would never have to plagiarize. I actually find plagiarism beneath me. I ask myself: Am I not better, smarter, quicker?
Recently, I took pity on someone and they plagiarized everything from me. they started playing the game of a stalker.
They copy my work but they don't give credit and cite my work.
The strategy I use, they reword and publish IMMEDIATELY. DISGUSTING.
NOW MULTIPLY THAT FEELING A 100 TIMES. WHAT IF YOUR MENTOR WAS USING YOUR WORK?
I SET A TRAP. I AM GOOD LIKE THAT. ONE DAY, WHEN MY INFRINGEMENT CASE IS OVER, I WILL PUBLISH THE STORY.
I CREATED THREE WORKS THAT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN ACCOMPLISHED WITH OUT THE FACULTY MEMBER GETTING CAUGHT RED-HANDED. I LEFT THE WORKS IN MY LAB. BY 2PM, I HAD EVIDENCE OF PLAGIARISM. I THEN SENT A LOVELY EMAIL TO THE OFFICE OF ACADEMIC INTEGRITY. ALL THOSE PROCEDURAL WORKS WERE NOT FOR NOTHING!
THAT MAN IS NOW AN ADJUNCT IN A SMALL COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
IS ANYONE COPYING FROM YOUR WORK/ARTICLE/BLOG SHAMELESSLY AND POSTING THINGS ON THEIR SITE?
TIME YOU SET A TRAP!!
The point of this blog is to address statistics of blogs, vlogs, microblogs.

BLOGGERS, AUTHORS, TWITTERATI : HOW DO YOU PREVENT PALGIARISM AND IDEA THEFT ?
I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO TRAIN SOME 300 SMART PEOPLE TO DATE. SOME HAD GREAT IDEAS. I WANTED THEM TO MAKE MONEY FROM THEM. SOME HAD THEIR IDEAS STOLEN. #PATENTTROLLS #IPRI
I took many classes and also learned a great deal of software, coding and analytics by myself. I worked for a company that hired me to analyze data.
One day, a superior complained about how little email space they get. I said: Well some emails are evidence. So that is not ethical!" He submitted that idea, never gave me credit. I never shared another idea. He asked me if I was okay because I did not have a smart comment any more during meetings. I told him that I am in "Observe and report mode."
During my post graduate studies , I created a system to update information about a hypothesis without manual curating. a professor had his student put that in his thesis.
It was meant for my thesis.
Whitaker of ASU accused of plagiarism.
The problem gets compounded when your idea is stolen by a superior you trust.
Now when I have an idea, I don't share it. If I am forced to, I set a trap.
I trained a kid to code in a scripting language. I knew he would copy from the first 10 matches he would get in Google. I gave him a list of sites to not copy from. ( Also, in this kind of teaching environment, if you dont cite, you lose 30% of your grade and you should feel lucky I did not turn you in for unprofessional behavior and lack of academic integrity.) He asked for extra time and did everything on his own, 0 plagiarism. I created a smart coder.
Its harder to monitor when your audience in the social media is much larger and there are unethical people everywhere. If you are blogging, who owns your work? The hosting platform? How will you prevent the theft of your ideas? If you have pins, who owns them. Because they are public, should I be able to use them any way I want?
How will you prevent the theft of your ideas, tweets, posts and pins?
I now know 45 authors who also blog and thats the major ones making a million a year.
How do they prevent plagiarism? How did Seamus Heany protect his beautiful imagery via the phrase " cascades of chlorophyll " ( My beer bud told me not to use this, b/c it sounds sissy. In his defense, we both had a beer or two.)
I would love to get your take on plagiarisms, incidents and prevention if plagiarism.
Please leave a comment!

GIZMODO's POLARIS Slingshot. #unblogged
No Blog about Stats, just my fave blog.
Gizmodo is my fave. Probably because I heart all things tech.
I subscribe to their email.
I loved the Polaris Slingshot review. Many must have reviewed it, but Gizmodo has a special place in my heart.
Since Sean Posted about the Polaris Slingshot I hate my life. I will get me a life coach and try to get the Polaris Slingshot as a part of my job perk. If I were Sean, I would do a MILLION things with the Slingshot.
This is the reason for Gizmodo being so addictive. They use enticing pictures of stuff that you will dream about.
I would drive up to my Starbucks in the slingshot, demand a freebie b/c now I out did that gang of bikers, brought a mob of kids to the Starbucks.
I would go to the Hyatt and then park where everyone could see and then use it for publicity. I would drive up to the retirement home, pick up my nana and then go pick up her 'scrip'.
One swanky ride can do all that? No. It opens the door to my imagination is all. I do feel its a dangerous ride.
I wont become the drift king, but I would go in with an agenda. True what Sean did was Way cooler. Some of us have an idea of how to use this #Ubercool ride. Sean gets EVERYTHING!!! :/

FRUGALITY AND COUPONING BLOG POPULARITY : WHAT EVERYONE NEEDS?
Hello Twitter pals!!
Did Walmart just cut hours?
Is your favorite chain closing 40 stores?
We need to live frugally. I for one have forced myself to read frugality, DIY, money management and even couponing blogs.
The Pennyhoarder is one such blog that will teach you to Earn, save and GROW your money. I mention him here as well. The Pennyhoarder introduced me to so many new areas.
I was so inspired when I read his blog. He quit doing a 9-5 and his blog is worth more than a million.
He has a 3/10 GooglePage Rank. Kyle solves the problem of having a 9-5 job where your job may hurt more than it helps!!
Then there is Jenny Martin. I was looking for an affordable printer and my search lead me to her site.
I have not looked back since.
Her site has more than 1.2 million unique visitors, every day.
I depended on her for organic food, printer and some electronics.
There are many blogs like this. I think of all these blogs as MONEY blogs. They help you save money and earn money, usually from home.
What site do you visit to save money? Why do you like it?
Please leave a link to your blog/site and I will mention that in my blog.
IF YOU ARE AN #ANIPAL SEE THIS.

Dailykos, Foodbabe, Couponmom, Jessica Adams, Loveandlemons,
What kind of Blog do you want to start?
Food / fashion/ hobby / frugality / causes/ tech/ entertainment/political
Here are some blogs that I wanted to discuss, to inspire all of us.
Loveandlemons.com has a sizable following. It branched out to Instys, and was awarded the Best food blog. When you read it, you will get why. It is clean, simple and speaks to every one.
Foodbabe is a food blog with a cause. It has 118,426 daily visitors. It started around 7-8 years ago, and now it is a movement.
DailyKos has above 7 million visitors daily, and Politico is a close second.
Clark Howard and Dave Ramsey can save us money. Thepennyhoarder.com started just a few years ago and now his site has tens of thousands of visitors everyday. Kyle Taylor and Ramit Sethi will change how we think about earning money. Bradsdeals now commands the attention of so many people that businesses with e-commerce are paying very close attention.
Jenny Martin, a mom from South Carolina, started this little blog called Thesouthernsavers.com. If she ran for office, she will likely win. Before her there was couponmom, if my numbers are right.
We all know that Perez Hilton started with a blog.
I haven't even started on the big ones yet.
Thanks to some ladies I know, I came to think of astrology very differently. there is a market for it.
Darkstarastrology has many daily visitors and does not miss a post or a big astrological event.
Jessica Adams is an astrologer, writer and has a blog and she is a globe trotter thanks to her accurate political predictions.I would not be surprised if she is on TV.
Is there a blog you want me to review?
Coming soon: The happening blog and its numbers!
Please let your friends know of this and leave comment.

VLOG AND BLOG MILLIONAIRES: THE 30 DAY BLOG CHALLENGE
Hello all!
I have used this time ever so productively.
I could not have done this w/o my pals from social media and work.
I finished projects, gained fans and delivered 200% buyer satisfaction for my Analytics
Today, I wanted to talk about Blog stats about blog millionaires, YouTube millionaires and what you should do to work from home!
Did you know that blogs, pinterest, instys and twitter generate revenue in BILLIONS?
Do you know #PewDiePie? http://bit.ly/1FaDlsv
I do know his work. He crossed 10 billion views recently.
If you are growing your stuff/teaching/programming, why do you not have a blog yet?
I haven't posted because I am going through what you are going through!!
I had to work over time at my job.
BLOGSTAT Research:
IS THE AGE OF A BLOG A BIG FACTOR IN VIEWS?
ARE VIEWS PROPORTIONAL TO THE NUMBER OF VISITORS AND HENCE THE REVENUE?
Not really.
Mashable reached the million visitor rank in just a few months. KISSmetrics did the same.
If I know this, why hasnt my blog exploded?
Timing.
Life.
Together, we will have a no excuses approach!
30 days from now or so? See you soon!
Use blogger( a must).
REWARD for top 3: I will grow your #blogverse and audience by tweeting. I WILL USE METRICS FROM ANALYTICS.
