Ancient relative of the great white sharkMost species of Ptychodus lived between 100 and 80 million years ago during the late Cretaceous period. Because shark skeletons are made of cartilage, they do not fossilize well, typically leaving archaeologists only teeth and few skeletal remains to find. Lamniformes also includes the modern species of megamouth, sand, goblin and basking sharks, among others. “The crushing teeth together with the gigantic size make Ptychodus a very unique shark,” Amadori said. … Modern durophagous sharks (that consume hard-shelled organisms) are demersal, feeding on or near the bottom.

After falling out with Kassan, UTA may think twice about buying another agency. The media and ad industry will be watching to see what, if any, leadership changes UTA makes at MediaLink.

At the center of the dispute between UTA and Kassan is the MediaLink founder's $950,000 annual expense account.

☆ Salesforce has quietly unloaded the CMO Club, which is merging with a marketing group called Brand Innovators
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-21 | by ( Ryan Joe | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

The organization will be renamed Club CMO and will merge with the marketing group Brand Innovators. Salesforce quietly discontinued the CMO Club in April, a marketing organization it acquired in 2020. Now, CMO Club, which has about 900 top marketers as members, will change its name to Club CMO because Salesforce still has rights to the original name, and merge with a similar industry group called Brand Innovators. "The CMO Club was where we could have those private and personal conversations without the press and sales people," said Club CMO board member Carol Kruse. In her decades-long career as a marketer, she's used advice from her peers at Club CMO roughly 50 times, she estimated.

☆ A more useful way to measure intelligence, XQ is 'the new EQ,' says USC research scientist
▼ + stars: | 2023-01-26 | by ( Natasha Piñon | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

There's a new way to predict success: XQ, or experiential intelligence. Rather than book smarts or empathetic abilities, experiential intelligence is a measure of how your life experiences have shaped the way you think, what you know and how you use that knowledge. "[It's] the combination of mindsets, abilities and know-how gained from your past experiences," Soren Kaplan, author of the book "Experiential Intelligence: Harness the Power of Experience for Personal and Business Breakthroughs," tells CNBC Make It. And while you might work to improve your EQ, for example, you don't require training to start applying experiential intelligence to your own life. "Everyone has experiential intelligence," Kaplan says.
