If societies are to thrive, not just survive, there must be a set of common values that undergird social and governmental interactions. Values are often derived from religion, yet there is deep misunderstanding among and between people of different faith (and no faith) backgrounds, which can threaten the social cohesion of communities. Our times suggest that values may not be common—within or across groups—and that religions are being manipulated (sometimes by governments) for the benefit of majority groups. This has led towards increased segmentation and polarization in societies, which has been exploited by those seeking to foment division.

Here's a video of a rancher serenading his herd home with his trombone.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs_-emj1qR4
Posted more than 8 years ago, the video has had more than 24 million views. Think about that!
This fact has relevance to the fact that when the rules no longer apply, it's time to make some new ones.
I'll use this thought process as I tell the story of an AI-based technology company that reached out to me, after my keynote for Cattlecon 2024, for some advice on how to gain traction in the industry. Their product will weigh cattle simply through AI analysis of a picture - that's the product It might not seem like much, but it's truly a groundbreaking technology - one that has big implications for the typical rancher. Even so, as with many start-up companies with a big new idea, it's difficult to gain notice and awareness in the industry.
Why? Because the rules for gaining traction have changed! The old rules of branding and marketing were that you came up with a killer product, a marketing campaign, some advertising, and promotion money, and sales would flow to your door. Those rules no longer make sense in a world that is information-overwhelmed, short-attention-span-based, and inundated with new stuff.
With that in mind, I bring you to ClickR Technologies. The founder and CEO, Joey Spicola, saw me speak at CattleCon 2024, and reached out to me, asking if I might be able to help him build awareness of his business and product. I guess my message about the future and opportunity caught his attention. I did reply that I tend to focus on doing what I do well (speaking about trends and innovation) and that I'd love to take on a project but know it's not something I can do. I did put him in touch with someone in the industry who might be able to help him.
Even though I was not able to help him, I immediately did have in the back of my mind a lot of specific thoughts on what he might be able to do, and so here are those thoughts - particularly the points below. It goes to the issue that you need to chase the opportunities of tomorrow differently. A bit more of the backstory - the benefits of the solution is clear.
----
Cattle are currently weighed with conventional gravity scales typically at a central location requiring time consuming, labor intensive rounding up and transporting to a weighing station. The cost and trauma impact on the animals can be significant. Our revolutionary livestock weighing technique is a game changer for any commercial or private cattle ranch.
---
Joey's summary to me was a bit more concise:
---
Scaleless weighing.
The camera takes a picture of the animal, at the water trough or feed bunk picture is processed through a proprietary algo and produces a weight in a couple of seconds, no stress on animal.
Our accuracy is 98% accurate, start to finish.
We can weigh
Bovine
Dairy
Swine
Horses
Alligators
Developing a human solution
---
I'm intrigued by the alligator application, but onwards!
The technology itself? Yes, it is quite feasible to weigh cattle through AI machine vision technology - it's a relatively simple application of computer vision technology. Here's how it generally works:
Image Capture: Cameras or other imaging devices are used to capture images of the cattle from various angles. These images need to be clear enough for the software to process them accurately.
Feature Extraction: The machine vision system analyzes the images to identify specific features of the cattle, such as their size, shape, and body condition. This process might involve techniques like edge detection, segmentation, and pattern recognition.
Weight Estimation Models: The extracted features are then inputted into a model that estimates the weight of the cattle. This model can be based on previously collected data that correlates certain physical characteristics with weight.
Machine Learning: Many modern systems use machine learning algorithms to improve the accuracy of weight estimations. These algorithms can learn from a large dataset of cattle images and their known weights, enabling the system to make more accurate predictions over time.
So if you have a great product that is fast, efficient, reliable, and saves time and money, how do you get noticed? It's certainly difficult to do it the old ways - and in my mind, I started running through the new rules of awareness. This is the advice I would have given to Joey:
- Find the communities. To sell your product, you need to find those who might have an interest in the product. Chances are they are wired, connected, and online. You need to immerse yourself in their world and understand how they think - they're already immersed in the future with new ideas, opportunities, and technologies. They're eager to find and explore new stuff - and you have new stuff. Find them, and you'll find your market.
- Concentrate on the optimists. Realize that the folks in these communities will want to hear your story; others will not. Go and read about the 'Two types of farmers,' which I have often documented in these posts. Focus on the future-positive farmers - forget about the rest. There's no point in trying to sell a groundbreaking, innovative solution that saves money and time and time to those who tune out such opportunities simply because they, well, don't like the future. Focus on the future-positive audience.
- Construct the story. To sell in today's world, you've got to have a short, concise, attention-grabbing, compelling, and information-rich story. If it's video, do it in less than a minute. (30 seconds will do). If it's text and images, use short phrases, bullets, and attention-grabbing text. Find a copywriter who knows how to write copy for the attention-deficit 21st-century economy.
- Share the story. Your goal is not to sell a product, but to tell a story that features your product. There's a big difference. People don't want to buy a product, but they want to own and be a part of a compelling story. That's what Apple, Tesla, and others don't do. They don't necessarily sell products - they sell a story, a lifestyle, an aspirational future that people want to be a part of.
- Get social. To do that, share your story where it matters. Social media is where it's at, and when it comes to young ranchers, farmers, and agriculture executives, social media is where they find their future. Too old for TikTok? Get young! Not actively using Instagram? Get there! Not blogging? Blog more!
- Get young. There are a lot of progressive, smart, future-oriented older farmers and ranchers - but there are also a lot of younger ones! Talk and connect with to a bunch of 15, 20, 25, and 30-year-old ranchers. They're your future, and they're your market. Talk to them about your product, and see what they think. Get them involved - learn from them.
- Become the expert. Every application needs an expert, so BE the expert. Machine vision-based cattle weighing? Machine vision-based alligator weighing? I can't imagine there are a lot of industry experts on that, so be the guru, the expert, the person who is quoted in the news and in the industry and around the world. That involves adopting 'guru-mode', adding a little bit of the late Steve Jobs lifestyle to your persona. You don't have that type of persona? Find a frontman or frontwoman!
- Find a stage. Get onto the industry event circuit - be a speaker, be a panelist, be an organizer. Find the conferences, contact the organizers, and get onto the agenda. This is one of the key ways to get out there - it's also an important way to get your networking going. There are 90,000 associations in the US and countless trade shows - become the recognized expert on a niche topic out there!
- Make the news. Get into industry publications and other information sources. To do that, realize a key thing - most publications and journalists are lazy. They won't want to take any time to do the research to write a story - did I mention they're lazy? Prepare a media kit - statistics, values, bullet points, key information. Write a story for them. Share the story. Get it in print or online. Do the work for them, nicely packaged, neatly put together.
- Elevate the fans. Over time, you'll build up a list of those who are fans of your product. They'll have seen the returns, understand the benefits, and are reaping the rewards. Let them tell the story. Make them into evangelists, and they'll do the work for you.
- Build a network. Tech companies have user groups, community forums, and market leaders. They double down on efforts to build a community of like-minded people, people who use and believe in the product. Help them network to build your network.
Above all, play a bit of trombone.
All of this brings me back to the point of the video above. The fact that a rancher playing a trombone to his herd has drawn tens of millions of views tells it all. He's not selling a product in this case, but a careful little bit of product placement in such a video would certainly help to define a future for that product! To get attention, you must work harder to get attention - and serenading the cows home with a trombone certainly gets attention! Imagine the same video and the cows come home - and are immediately weighed and sorted via an AI. Wild opportunity!
Branding marketing awareness and outreach these days is tough to do.
To do the tough things, sometimes a little bit of trombone will help.

Revolutionizing human movement analysis with machine learning! Our team is using advanced algorithms to segment human motion and unlock new insights for physical therapy, sports science, and biomechanical research
Paige Cardwell, president of CSG Creative, dissects audiences and what they want in “Research: Driven by What Matters.” Unlike targeting customers by demographics, Cardwell says attitudinal audience segmentation looks at how buyers feel and what they want — not their age, job title, income or educational level. It also sheds light on why they’ve purchased and what other offerings (current or new) might interest them. This session explains how this innovative approach to research can serve as a powerful basis for brand messaging, marketing, operational changes, program content, and new product development.

Hottentot Fig - In the early 1900s C. edulis was brought to California from South Africa to stabilize soil along railroad tracks and was later put to use by Caltrans for similar purposes. Thousands of acres were planted in California until the 1970s. It easily spreads by seed (hundreds per fruit) and from segmentation (any shoot segment can produce roots). Its succulent foliage, bright magenta or yellow flowers, and resistance to some harsh coastal climatic conditions (salt) have also made it a favored garden plant. The Ice Plant was for several decades widely promoted as an ornamental plant, and it is still available at some nurseries. Ice Plant foliage can turn a vibrant red to yellow in color.

These requirements are causes for segmentation within the population. Unfortunately not everyone has the same access to computer technologies.
For example, elderly people would greatly benefit from Netflix memberships. I'm sure they are sick and tired of having to watch the same television programs all day, and/or having to schlepp to the movie theater, when they can barely get out of bed.

Better data is becoming available on economic activity within countries, often much exceeding the available information of economic activity across countries. This creates new research opportunities for testing economic theory, analyzing market structures and the sources of market segmentation, and making predictions of how economic shocks propagate across space. The aim of this conference is to bring together researchers from urban economics, industrial organization, health economics, and international trade to study production and trade within and across countries.

Cable trays are becoming more and more widely used in modern buildings. Traditional manual production can no longer meet the demand, and the industry urgently needs the input of automated production lines to increase production/reduction of artificially improved product quality and reduce labor intensity.
The new cable tray automatic roll forming machine developed and produced by BOSJ is non-standard customized equipment. According to the different requirements put forward by customers, the process design and customized production meet the requirements of speed, intelligence and equipment floor space required by customers. Tailored to the actual situation of each customer with the most affordable cable tray machine price.
Cable Tray Machine Overview:
The cable tray roll forming machine production line can produce cable trays. Different specifications are completed by replacing the die. The roll forming machine adopts a combination of adjustable and one set of rolls to complete all specifications of the bridge products. The specification changes are completed by adjusting the forming machine opening and rolling.
The production line is divided into automatic and manual operation modes, which can realize linkage and segmentation operation.
The complete set of equipment consists of uncoiler, leveler, servo feeder, punch, die, guide frame, forming machine, cut-off, receiving table and electrical control.
The cable tray automatic roll forming machine can produce 0-10m per minute, the specifications can be adjusted freely, the operation is simple and easy to learn, the production efficiency is greatly improved, and the automation degree of the enterprise is improved.
Cable tray equipment has several advantages:
The equipment control is PLC control, and multiple safety protection is set during normal production.
The bed is welded with steel plates. It is also tempered to eliminate internal stress and avoid deformation of the fuselage.
The forming frame is cast iron structure and tempered. High strength and long service life.
The material of the roll shaft is 40Cr, and the hardness is HB280 after quenching and tempering treatment.
The material of the molding die is GCr15, quenching treatment, hardness: HRC 56-62 °C.
The transmission structure is gearbox transmission. Each molding frame has a gearbox that guarantees time-out, high-intensity operation and long service life.

Even if you know for sure that a person or a group will not be part of your audience, it is very helpful to identify the extremes. For example, this man in a cotton mill factory in India would never be using Webmaker. Understanding his conditions of life – in this case true poverty – will help you define your audience better and explain your segmentation. This man has never heard about the Web, and once you meet him you can understand why.

Very small bee (8-10mm) - not in my opinion a honey bee.
Trapped inside our sunroom windows, imaged with the outside vegetation as a smooth and light colourful background using twin flash macro.
There are about 25 sp of small bees in the UK guides, that are not honey bees or bumbles, and I know little about them, and have noticed them rarely.
The underside hairs are remarkably white.
Insufficient abdomen segmentation detail/ colour, or facial structure to let me tend to an ID. Small bee pics in my field guides are almost universally of dire quality!
Photographed, offered a lift on my finger, and freed outside.
As we cluster in social groups, myspace becomes theirspace. This is sometimes called segmentation, where programmatic clustering identifies people who share common characteristics, and averages those characteristics to form a "characteristic vector" or "centroid." Does knowing this bother me? Well, to answer that question I would first have to ask: who is me? This is a picture of me "in action" as I try to elude my presence.
