Seth Boyden students enjoyed demonstrations of locally grown foods as well as a lesson in civics on Sept. 25 when Assemblyman John F. McKeon and Assemblywoman Mila M. Jasey came to Strawberry Fields to celebrate “Farm to School Week.”
McKeon is the sponsor of a measure that designated the last week of September as “Jersey Fresh Farm to School Week.” He and Jasey picked Seth Boyden to celebrate the designation because Strawberry Fields, Seth Boyden’s working garden, is among the top 20 finalists of the inaugural ‘School Garden of the Year’ award from the New Jersey Farm to School Network and Edible New Jersey.
McKeon and Jasey were joined at the event by Beth Feehan, director of the New Jersey Farm to School Network; Lorraine Gibbons, one of the founders of Strawberry Fields; and Seth Boyden Principal Mark Quiles.
Before the speech making began, students visited tables staffed by PTA members where they sampled foods which were either donated by “Jersey Fresh” local farmers markets or grown in Strawberry Fields by the students.
Students tasted yellow squash, green cauliflower, yellow and red bell peppers, broccoli, cucumbers and more. (Said one 5th grader, “I didn’t know broccoli could taste this good!”) They sniffed and identified herbs. They made rubbings of leaves. Notably, they lined up in droves to taste some swiss chard sauted in a pan with garlic by Virginia Lamb Falconer.
“They were chowing down on it!” said Falconer. “They like food that they grow.”
Moments later, McKeon had a group of 5th grade students cheering for New Jersey as he named the fruits and vegetables for which the Garden State is one of the top producers (agriculture, noted McKeon, is New Jersey’s third largest economic sector after pharma and tourism). After McKeon asked questions such as “Who’s third in blueberry production?,” students shouted, “New Jersey!”
Jasey called it the “best speech” ever given by McKeon.
Afterward, Jasey presented a proclamation from the State Assembly. Jasey wisely chose not to read the proclamation to the well-behaved but fidgety fifth graders. The proclamation read in part that Seth Boyden “stands as a beacon to the heights to which education can aspire” — particularly in reference to the multiple uses of the Strawberry Fields garden in educating students about biology, agriculture, nutrition and other sciences.
McKeon also received a special recognition from the New Jersey Farm to School Network’s Feehan for sponsoring the legislation.
McKeon also invoked the name of Seth Boyden during his comments, noting that the inventor owned the original property on which the school is built and cultivated the modern strawberry. After retirement, Boyden spent his time hybridizing strawberries and, in fact, many strawberries today originate from the seeds of his garden.
Quiles thanked Gibbons and other PTA members for transforming the former “dust bowl” that was the garden area into a rich and vital part of the Seth Boyden educational experience today.

John O’Hurley takes his golf talents to the big screen!
John O’Hurley is best known for his role of J. Peterman in Seinfeld, but he has had many other roles, including hosting Family Feud from 2006-2010 and a second- place finish in Dancing with the Stars in 2005, the first year for the show. O’Hurley is also known as an avid golfer. Both O’Hurley and his wife Lisa carry single digit handicaps and he proposed on the 7th green at Pebble Beach. When the chance came along to appear in a movie with golf as part of the film, it was only natural for O’Hurley to make the film.
Swing Away, opening in March of 2017, follows professional golfer ‘Zoe Papadopoulos’ (Shannon Elizabeth), who following a meltdown that leads to a suspension, travels to her grandparents’ village in Greece to escape the harsh spotlight of the international sports world. Between baking bread and eating baklava, she meets and mentors a ten-year-old girl who is determined against all odds to become the next golf sensation. Along the way, ‘Zoe’ rediscovers her Greek heritage, her love of the game, and the hidden strength within herself as she inspires the townspeople in an epic showdown against a greedy American developer played by John O’Hurley.
ACES editor Dennis Miller had a chance to speak with O’Hurley about the movie and his golf game in general.
Tell me about the film?
Golf is really a back drop in the film. It is a heartfelt film. I saw it four times during screening and I welled up every time. I have done some TV, but this was the first time where golf was part of a movie for me. Honestly, it was more about getting the scene right more than being about golf.
How did you get started in golf?
I grew up in New England and everyone back then seemed to have country club memberships. I took some lessons and then used it as a way spend four hours with my Dad. He’s 88 now and still plays. He uses golf as way to spend four hours with me.
What is your home course?
We are joining Sherwood (Southern California) and we have a membership up in Sonoma County at Mayacama. I have a charity tournament on the first Monday and Tuesday up there – the Schulz Celebrity Golf Classic in honor of Peanuts creator Charles Schulz.
Mayacama? I heard the members there play for wine more often than money.
Of yeah, there are a lot of bottles switching hands.
Your wife is a golfer as well? How often do get out to play?
Golf is a luxury for me. It’s tough to justify taking four hours out of the day to play, but I am able to do it enough for my game to stay in shape. My wife has the same handicap as I do (both play to a 5), but if you talk to anyone that knows us, they will tell you she is better than me. Lisa was one of the first Golf Channel employees and Arnold (Palmer) said she had one of the nicest swings for an amateur that he had ever seen. That’s pretty amazing right there.
Is there a course you have not played yet that you want to?
Pine Valley. I have several friends that are members there and they are always telling me it’s a must play. Also, we have not been to Bandon Dunes yet.
What’s the best part of playing golf?
I love playing in the late afternoons when the shadows are long. It’s the best place to be – the best topography. I have met a lot of great people on the golf course. You can really judge their character by how they play. I also just really love the competition and that you can keep playing longer and longer in life.
What would be your dream foursome, living or dead?
I think I would like to go back and play in the early days of golf, like with Old Tom Morris. Those guys played with clubs that looked like gardening tools. I’d like to play with them and see what it was like. I mean you look at Al Geiberger, he shot a 59 (in 1977) with steel shafts. It’s a different game these days.
What’s the best round you have shot?
Byron Scott (the former Los Angeles Lakers star) had a tournament at a course in Orange County and I shot a 69.
Best celebrity golfer you have ever played with?
Oliver Hudson is pretty good. Ten years ago, he couldn’t break 100 and now he is very good. Jack Wagner is excellent as well.

When it comes to maintaining a comfortable and healthy indoor environment, a well-functioning HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system is essential. Whether it’s a residential or commercial space, the installation of an HVAC system requires careful planning and execution. From selecting the right equipment to ensuring proper airflow and ventilation, every step in the installation process plays a crucial role in the overall performance and efficiency of the system.
Installing an HVAC system involves various components such as furnaces, air conditioners, ductwork, vents, and thermostats. The goal is to create a well-balanced system that efficiently distributes conditioned air throughout the space while maximizing energy efficiency.

Outrage has been sparked after a petition to change rules allowing transgender weightlifter Laurel Hubbard to compete as a woman was canceled ahead of her Olympic debut.
When Hubbard's success as a schoolboy in the sport was revealed, anger erupted as people didn't think it was fair for her to compete as a woman with her past as a man in the sport.
The petition called for the Olympic Committee to put an end to transgender athletes competing in women's divisions but it was soon "canceled" as "hate speech."
The New Zealand weightlifter became the face of the petition after she was selected to compete in the 87+ KG women's weight division at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics with more than 30,000 people signing the petition arguing that Hubbard's inclusion puts her competitors at a significant disadvantage.
Hubbard transitioned from male to female in 2012 when she was thirty-five years old and after decades of competing in men's weightlifting competitions, the now forty-three-year-old will take to the weightlifting stage on Monday night.
Daily Mail Australia had revealed that the weightlifter captained her high school team to success at Auckland's exclusive Saint Kentigern Boy's College in 1994, prompting readers to conclude that her competing against other women is unfair.
But despite her high school team's success, Hubbard individually wouldn't have made it to the men's senior national team.
"So many women feel betrayed," a woman who knew Hubbard when she was competing in the male division said. And when the woman who began the petition was notified by email that it had been removed, she tried having the petition reinstated... but is yet to receive Change. Orgs decision.
As long as Hubbard's testosterone levels remain below the qualifying amount and she identifies as a woman, she is within regulations to compete, but the petition points out that the policy ignores several other factors.
"This completely ignores the physical advantage in speed, height, stamina, and strength that a male-born athlete will have," the petition read. "Women were not consulted and did not consent to this policy which will make a complete mockery of their sport."
Those competing against Hubbard don't seem too happy either.
Belgium's Anna Van Bellinghen said the situation seems like a "bad joke."
"I am aware that defining a legal frame for transgender participation in sports is very difficult since there is an infinite variety of situations and that reaching an entirely satisfactory solution, from either side of the debate, is probably impossible," she said as per the Daily Mail. "However, anyone that has trained weightlifting at a high level knows this to be true in their bones: this particular situation is unfair to the sport and the athletes."
But the weightlifter has a huge following behind her. "Laurel Hubbard has NOT broken any rules set out by the governance of sport," one supporter of Hubbard said, pointing out that she should be welcomed to compete against other women.
"When [people] are shown something that may be new and different to what they know, it's instinctive to be defensive," she said during her last interview in 2017. "It's not really my job to change what they think, what they feel, and what they believe. I just hope they look at the bigger picture, rather than just trusting whatever their gut may have told them."
"I'm just me."
Hubbard rarely gives any interviews as she wants to live a private life, but she said that all she can really do is block out the controversial opinions in her last interview.

Wal-Mart and TennCare
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. A study shows that thousands of Wal-Mart employees are on TennCare.
The figures come from a survey conducted during the past two months of TennCare rolls and Labor Department data, requested by The Chattanooga Times Free Press. It shows the number of TennCare enrollees who were employed by Tennessee companies at some point during the year.
Wal-Mart, with about 25 percent of the company's 37-thousand workers on TennCare, tops the survey.
I've noticed several other states complaining about the same thing. Taxpayers subsidize Walmart's employees so the behemoth can take ever larger profits. I have heard that employees in some states are given packets of information about how to apply for state benefits.
Walmart is clearly worried about their image-hence the recent public relations campaign telling Americans that Walmart is a great place to work and is great for neighborhoods.
Personally, I avoid shopping there.

Published August 10, 2023
India has emerged as a preferred investment destination over the last two decades. One of the key drivers for this preference is the availability of skilled workface at competitive prices. This puts India at a position of continuous growth even as the world is facing a huge economic crisis. But at the same time, according to the Indian External Affairs Ministry, every year 2.5 million Indians migrate overseas, making Indians the world’s largest overseas diaspora. According to government data, over 1.6 million people have relinquished their Indian citizenship since 2011 leading to loss of billions in tax revenue for India. This phenomenon is being referred to as the Great Indian Brain Drain.
Many Indians have friends or family living overseas and they share stories with their families back in India of how their lives have changed for better. The infrastructure, social welfare, healthcare, equitable pay, quality of life and so on. These stories have surely planted seeds in the minds of many young Indians, who have made migrating overseas their life’s biggest dream. This is not to say that there are no horror stories. There are several stories of racial discrimination and micro aggressions at the workplace. Yet, several Indians continue to want to work overseas.
Through this article, let’s explore some of the obvious reasons and also the underlying cultural reasons to better understand why so many Indians continue to migrate overseas. Let’s also consider what Indian companies can do, if not already, to attract and retain talent.
Having stated the primary driving factors, we need to think about some of the deeper aspects of Indian culture that are related to the Brain Drain phenomenon.
The conservative Indians consider the western influence as a negative phenomenon. However, for the middle class and the rich the western way of life opened a new worldview. They began to dream a life that would be bigger and better than the one they had. This led to a rise in materialism and consumerism in India. There is social inequality and a widening gap between the rich and the poor. Many have abandoned the traditional practices in favour of western ones. Indulging in international cuisines, appreciating pop culture, following international fashion brands and such led to a natural neglect of the ancient Indian wisdom, art and traditions.
When some of the Indian practices such as Yoga or eating plant-based food were embraced by Westerners, they suddenly became more acceptable in India. We seem to need a ‘stamp of approval’ from the Western world. This is the impact of colonization, which instilled an ideology of perceived superiority in cultures and a loss of self-cultural identify. If it is western, it must be better. Working overseas is also perceived as a ‘feather in the cap’ for most Indians, a significant achievement.
What the millennials want from their workplace is usually found in Western companies. Those who have worked in India or with India, will know that fair pay and profit sharing and not easy conversations for an employee to have with their employer.
Indians are very hierarchical and find it extremely inappropriate to bring up conversations on pay and profits. Also, communication from management on the purpose and expectations are also often indirect and contextual. Needless to say, prioritizing personal life over work rarely happens as Indians struggle to be direct or say ‘No’ in fear of how they may be perceived by their superiors. Even though, things have changed over the years, especially with multi-national companies in India, there are still those deep-rooted Indian values that conflict at the workplace, often leading to job dissatisfaction.
Having explored these reasons, we know that the Great Indian Brain Drain will continue. However, this drain of intellectual and highly skilled workforce does impact the Indian economy in the long-term. In 2015, the Indian Government initiated a National Skill Development Mission with a mission statement that reads: ‘to rapidly scale upskill development efforts in India, by creating an end-end, outcome focused implementation framework, which aligns demands of the employers for a well-trained skilled workforce with aspirations of Indian citizens for sustainable livelihoods.’
This mission does have a strong focus on the education system, which if executed well, can provide students the quality of education they are looking for overseas. Governments do what they can in terms of policies and reforms. However, we know these are long term, take time to materialize and unfortunately, sometimes fail. But, what can Indian companies do in order to attract and retain talent?
All of these recommendations are perhaps easier for multi-national companies based in India, as they tend to have a company culture aligned to the headquarters. However, execution by the local management to maintain the same level of employee experience is key.
For Indian companies, funding or budget allocation could be the potential problem in achieving these goals. There isn’t an easy way ever, nevertheless, companies need to start thinking about these best practices in order to be successful in the long term.
Global Business Culture helps numerous organizations with these types of challenges by helping them align their company culture with the strategic direction.

Over the weekend, DGO hit up “Art in the Afternoon,” a fundraiser for Willowtail, an artist residency and B&B retreat space in Mancos. There were hella cool folks there building community and supporting the picturesque, pond-side artist sanctuary. Among the lot was photographer Jake Polster-Sadlon. He’s a striking, dapper fellow that had a streamlined style we wanted to know more about.
“I would say my style is simple. I try to not put too much thought into it. This is probably the most dressed up I’ve been in a while. I’m a white t-shirt and jeans kind of guy – Vans.
I was thinking about this this morning, how easy it is for your clothes to become a costume. I think it says a lot about how you may want to conduct yourself socially and how you want people to perceive you. Simplicity of style might potentially indicate a social agenda, a little bit. It’s not a lack of a mask, it’s just different. It’s a deep, big conversation.
This is one of the first days that I’ve pulled this camera out and I’m kind of re-falling in love with it. I decided to bring it today because I knew I’d see friends and I wanted to practice portraiture. It wasn’t a fashion statement, at all. It was function. Sometimes people can’t help but comment on it though cause it’s a cool machine. It’s a Hasselblad 500 C/M. This one in particular is the type of camera my dad shot on for his whole career, but he sold it when he moved to Durango. I’ve wanted one since I found out he sold it so he and I could shoot on it together.

Looking to amp up its own user base while doing the same for one of its OTT partners, Roku has launched a promotion that offers two free months of Hulu Plus to customers who buy any new Roku player by September 30.
According to the fine print of the just-launched promo – available, of course, only to new Hulu Plus subs -- consumers can partake by activating a new Roku player (from the new $49.99 Roku Streaming Stick on up to the $99.99 top-of-the-line Roku 3 model) through September 30. Once the device is activated, Roku will send the user an email with details on how to redeem the free Hulu Plus offer.
Luring users to streaming players using free OTT video offers is now part and parcel to the game as the market continues to heat up. Google offered three months of Netflix with the purchase of the Chromecast when it launched the streaming adapter last summer, then had to quickly nix the promotion due to overwhelming demand. Amazon, meanwhile, meanwhile, is trying to prime the pump for its new Fire TV by pairing sales with free 30-day subscription to its Prime service, which includes access to a vast streaming video library.
But expect more offers such as this one from Roku as makers of OTT video players, including Amazon and the expected influx of devices that will be powered by the new Android TV platform – continue to jockey for position.
For its part, Roku has shipped about 8 million device sin the U.S., but hasn’t released any international shipment figures. Last week, Parks Associates said that Roku was the best-selling streaming media device in the U.S. last year, outpacing domestic sales of the Apple TV.
If the Roku promo is successful, it could provide a bit of a bump to Hulu Plus, which recently surpassed the 6 million subscriber mark and just announced that it would become the exclusive streaming VOD home for the irreverent South Park.

The Reds were due to play City in the first Manchester derby to be played outside of the UK on Monday - but the weather conditions in China left the pitch unplayable and led to the match being called off.
Playing conditions were poor for United's match against Borussia Dortmund in Shanghai on Friday, but the pitch was so bad at the Bird's Nest in Beijing that no football could be played on it.
Speaking via a video on the official Manchester United Twitter account, Shaw addressed the fans directly over how the United players are feeling.
"Obviously I know you're [the fans] all disappointed but as players we're all very disappointed too because we've come out here to play in front of all the fans," Shaw said.
"We know how much you love us all and we love playing in front of you.
"We're so sorry. If we could change it, we want to play right now but that's the final decision and we can't play. Hopefully we will see you all soon."
Juan Mata also gave a special video message to the supporters through the club's official Twitter account.
The Spaniard took the opportunity to thank the fans in China for their continued support of the club - and that he hopes to be back in the country soon.
He said: "I know you are all disappointed, so are we. I just wanted to say thank you very much for your amazing support here in China.
"In Shanghai and and now in Beijing we've felt that you really love the club, you really love United - so we are really disappointed because we were looking forward to the game.
"I'm sure we will be back very soon, thank you very much for your support and I hope to see you soon."

GSAT off to 'smooth start'
The Education Ministry is reporting that the Grade Six Achievement Test (GSAT) got off to a smooth start across the island this morning.
The ministry notes that there was residual smoke at schools in the vicinity of the Riverton City disposal site in St Andrew.
But it says students and teachers in nearby schools said it was manageable and would not affect the holding of the exam.
The exam is being held a week later than originally planned after smoke from the dump in St Andrew covered large sections of the Corporate Area and St Catherine.
When a Gleaner team visited schools which were worst affected by the smoke, principals expressed relief at the absence of the nuisance.
Some parents said they have taken precautions by giving their children dust masks in the event the smoke should return.
Meanwhile, Education Officer for Region One, Patrice Supria, says the ministry has contingency plans in place should the situation change.

Taiwan has effected a change of guard right here in the course of India’s tensions with China on the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
The East Asian and Pacific Affairs Director-General, Baushuan Ger, has been named Taiwan’s consultant to India changing Tien Chung-Kwang, who was within the submit for over seven years.
Tien will exchange Hsu Szu-chien as Deputy Foreign Minister who has been appointed as deputy secretary-general of the National Security Council (NSC).
“Not only does such an arrangement convey approval for Tien’s performance as Taiwan’s representative to India over the past seven years but it also suggests that the relationship with India is likely to become one of Taiwan’s most important diplomatic priorities in the future,” mentioned a Taiwan media evaluation.

The Green Bay Packers didn't clinch a playoff berth until safety Nick Collins (36) came up with an interception with 10 seconds left in the fourth quarter of the game against the Chicago Bears at Lambeau Field on Sunday, Jan. 2, 2011. Corey Wilson/Press-Gazette
It was fitting that the Green Bay Packers didn’t secure a playoff berth until 10 seconds were left in the regular season.
Only after Nick Collins intercepted Jay Cutler’s pass intended for Devin Hester Sunday at the Green Bay 11-yard line could the Packers and a stadium full of delirious but nervous fans at Lambeau Field breathe a sigh of relief. The Packers’ 10-3 victory over the Chicago Bears was finally secure, as well as the sixth and final invitation to the NFC playoffs.
Nothing has come easy for the Packers this season, so why should the regular-season finale be any different?
“We wouldn’t want it any other way,” said Packers coach Mike McCarthy, who will guide his team into the playoffs for the third time in five years.
“We’ve had a different road we traveled this year and we’ve met every challenge.”
It’s been a long, difficult road with many obstacles, potholes and detours, but the Packers find themselves exactly where they need to be. They are one of 12 teams still in the running for the Super Bowl title.
While the history of sixth-seeded teams in the playoffs isn’t favorable – only Pittsburgh in 2005 won the Super Bowl as a No. 6 seed, and no NFC No. 6 seed has advanced to the Super Bowl – the Packers are thankful they are part of the playoff discussion and believe they are capable of beating anyone.
“I think we know who we are from top to bottom and we’ve got real confidence in ourselves and each other,” said linebacker Desmond Bishop. “If we put it together right it’s going to be a beautiful sight.”
The Packers must win three consecutive road playoff games to advance to the Super Bowl, a difficult but not unprecedented task. With the Packers boasting the No. 1-ranked scoring defense in the NFL, anything is possible.
The familiar credo about defense winning championships isn’t lost on the Packers. Safety Charlie Peprah, who had the other key interception against Cutler in the end zone to squelch a Bears’ third-quarter scoring threat, subscribes to that theory.
“Nowadays they’ll say defense gets you to the championship, offense wins it but whatever, you’ve got to be able to play defense if you want to get far in the playoffs,” Peprah said.
And the Packers are playing some kind of impressive defense. The Bears, who scored 78 points in their previous two games, were stopped in their tracks.
Last year, the Packers got torched for 51 points in a first-round playoff loss to Arizona but this time around enter the post-season with a different mindset. With a solid nucleus of starters getting significant and unexpected contributions from unsung injury replacements like Peprah, Bishop, Erik Walden and Howard Green, the Packers are playing the kind of suffocating defense that can take over games.
“I think the body of our work throughout the season is where we get our confidence from,” Bishop said. “We’re definitely going to take it into the playoffs.”
This isn’t your run-of-the-mill No. 6 seed that slipped in the back door. The Packers have taken down No. 2 seed Chicago and No. 3 seed Philadelphia during the regular season and gave No. 1 seed Atlanta all it could handle on the road.
If not for a 7-3 December loss to the Detroit Lions, in which quarterback Aaron Rodgers sat out the second half with a concussion, the Packers would own the NFC North title and the No. 2 seed. That’s not so much a lament about what could have been, but rather an indication of how closely contested the NFC playoff field is.
The Packers will be battle tested after playing a pair of must-win games to finish the regular season. They knew they needed to beat the New York Giants and Bears to make the playoffs, and they pulled it off.
“It gives us a head start to know what to expect,” cornerback Tramon Williams said. “It’s not going to be (anything) new to us when we get there.”
But after losing six starters to season-ending injuries and a half-dozen games by four points or less this season, the Packers know more challenges await and it won’t get easier in the playoffs. They seem to like it that way.

After dropping hints about a 'darker' sequel for his box office hit 'Brahmastra
', Ayan Mukerji
has now additionally promised 'better dialogues' and a 'juicy' story.
The director and his lead actress Alia Bhatt
became an overnight meme, thanks to her major dialogue in the film - calling out to Ranbir Kapoor
's character "Shiva!"
While celebrating the film's success, Ayan, Alia and Ranbir Kapoor addressed the trending memes and explained that according to the director, people in love often take each other's names, hence the same applied to their characters. However, with work on 'Brahmastra: Part Two' officially underway, Ayan told Sony Music India, that Brahmastra is a 'Made In India' product and admitted that it was very challenging.
Revealing his challenges for Part 2, he said, "Making it at the same quality with better dialogues and more juicy storytelling, it is a very very big challenge."
The director also shared that it would take around 2-3 years to finish the sequel. He added, "It would have been amazing if we could have given you Brahmastra 2
next year. I would have loved it, it would have been great for me."
In a previous interview, the director said that 'Part One: Shiva', was just the set-up for the upcoming two instalments in the epic action-adventure franchise. He explained to PTI, "It is a love story and Shiva got his power from love. But 'Part Two: Dev' will be a darker and juicier story in terms of the dramatic conflict.The follow-ups will be darker for sure."


On Thursday, I attended the internal launch of the Australian Entertainment & Media Outlook for 2007-2011. It was an hour packed with interesting analysis, trends, and statistics across a dozen industry segments. You can leave a comment on my blog if you are interested in purchasing the report and I’ll see if I can arrange it for you.
One valuable thing briefly mentioned, was the irony of online advertising.
On the one hand, internet advertising has advertisers licking their lips at the amount of data that can now be used to better target their advertising. But despite double digit growth for the industry, the biggest setback for more spending in this segment, is that there are not enough skilled people who understand the data to take advantage of it. I took that to mean people that understand the business of media, advertising and content – but also understand technology and the internet. Or in other words, we now have the data – but now what?
Without meaning to sound arrogant, I hopefully am considered someone that fits that job description based on my background on media experience, business and accounting education, and internet technology (an interest that is bordering on passion) – and I’ve explored this issue a few times on my blog.
To me the problem is far greater than just understanding the data: it’s about redefining the concept of how we measure advertising. The problem is the measurement system: it needs to be consistent. The measurement system needs to have a clear purpose, to understand what data is needed. The data has problems, and so we need to keep this measurement system simple
It was interesting to hear that one of the largest Net measurement companies, Nielsen/NetRatings, is about to abandon page views as its primary metric for comparing sites. Instead the company will use total time spent on a site.
Scott Karp also wrote a great piece on how publishers need to stop selling space, or as he ended the posting: “Wherever there?¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢s scarcity, there?¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢s opportunity.” And what is the scarce in the Information Age? Your attention.
Online advertising is a whole new world, where publishers/advertisers tried to replicate the offline business models online, and failed miserably (most notably with the page view). I may not have the answer for how we do this, but I do know one thing: whether you are watching a video, reading a blog, or playing a game – time spent interacting with that content is the only universally consistent measure for comparison with all content competing for your attention.
Time spent works because:
- It recognises that the same person may view different ads because they spent more time on the website – something that ‘unique visitors’ doesn’t take into account
- It doesn’t matter how the content is displayed – for example, AJAX reloads web pages within web pages and so distorts the number of pages in the pageview model
- It doesn’t matter what the content is – allowing comparisons to anything – because it recognises the only consistent thing among different mediums, is that people are interacting with that content.
As a case in point, here are some stats on my blog. I average 40 people a day reading my blog – sometimes a lot more (when I post a new entry) and sometimes a lot less (weekends).?Ç? I also have an audience that spends an average of seven minutes reading my blog – again this can vary with the people doing Google searches for porn and lasting on my site for 30 seconds (the travel component of my blog makes mention of crude sightings!) but people that come from Google on more thought provoking topics like this, and can spend up to ten minutes. Another interesting thing is that the average visitor only reads 1.4 pages. But that’s because my front page displays plenty of content, so that people don’t have to click away to read postings.
What I tried to illustrate with the above, is the amount of variance between different measurement systems. Despite having the average reader only see 1.4 pages, and only 40 unique people a day visit, people are spending 7 minutes each visit -that’s a long time to be visiting a site. Now if an advertiser was paying me – wouldn’t it be more fair to pay me based on the amount of time I can engage with my audience, rather that on metrics that can be manipulated (such as putting less complete postings, where you have to click to read more, and which would increase page views – as I have done with this posting). I might also ad, that Google analytics says I have 40 unique visitors, but another web statistics program says I have 300 visits a day.
Personally, I applaud the increasing importance of time spent as that is how we really should be measuring: not on the amount of hits/viewers/subscribers – but on the amount of time expended to engage with that content.
However, the industry needs to recognise another issue: it’s not about how many people to hit an ad on, it’s the type of people you target your ad on. An example was a spam e-mail I was received on Tablet PC’s that had just come out a few years ago. However unlike most spam, it was a product I was actually interested in buying at the time. To me – that wasn’t spam – it was relevant advertising. Throwing something at 1,000 people who don’t care, is not the same as throwing something at the five people who would care.
Time spent is a good resolution. But the big issue, of targeting advertising to individuals, has still a long way to go and is not something you can agree on like how people discuss the time spent metric. Instead, it will be a smart bunch of people who build a business model that uses this model in an effective way. Google’s innovated in this direction with it’s adsense click-through’s (and which incidentally, is the leading type of advertising on the net) – but we are not there yet. Whoever innovates to that next level, like how Google did with contextual advertising, is going to transform the industry.
It’s going to be an interesting few years.

Through existing contracts with physician organizations, Dallas-based Perot Systems said in a statement that it has been working with Medic Computer, a developer of healthcare information management systems and software, by supporting the outsourcing and set-up process of Medic's line of software and hardware products to the healthcare industry.
As part of the agreement, the two companies said they'll work together to offer clients quick software deployment at low IT costs for their outsourcing needs to automate physician services, such as billing automation and help desk support services.
Raleigh, North Carolina-based Medic Computer and Perot Systems said they will offer the IT services and Medic Computer applications together with a user-based charge fee per user per month. Specifics on pricing were not immediately available since each physician organization's outsourcing needs differ, according to a Medic Computer spokesman.
"We feel good about the alliance," Medic Computer senior vice president of sales Ken Howard, said in a brief phone interview. Howard said that Perot Systems is a "well-respected" organization with a lot of experience in outsourcing that can help Medic Computer market its applications.
Howard added that the alliance is also a way for Perot Systems to expand its services into other industries, such as health, which he said Perot Systems has been planning.
The alliance comes a week after Perot Systems, founded by billionaire Ross Perot, announced plans to use some of its $225.9 million in cash to invest in start-up technology companies, as reported by Bloomberg.
Although Perot had declined to name specific targets or technologies, he did refer to the company's recent agreement with Salt Lake City-based software maker TenFold as an example of the investment strategy, according to Bloomberg. Perot had announced an alliance with TenFold last month that gives his company the right to buy 1 million TenFold shares when the company goes public.
TenFold, which filed for a public offering on March 8, went public last Friday, and saw its shares advance 50 percent in its trading debut, according to Reuters.

Croatia-based Gideon has announced the launch of Casey, an autonomous case picking and process optimization solution to help companies manage labor shortages and surging demand for products.
The Casey solution pairs Guideon’s flexible, artificial intelligence and vision-based autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) with optimization software. The system “brings people and robots into an intelligent partnership” to help increase throughput and productivity by removing inefficient workflows, costly infrastructure, and scalability bottlenecks. Gideon said the system can eliminate product and equipment damage costs, and reduce labor costs by up to 40%.
“We are proud to announce the new addition to our product family,” said Josip Ćesić, CTO and co-founder of Gideon. “Traditional case picking is an entirely manual process, and it comes with high cost, low safety, and limited scalability. We bring a new way to solve the old problem: enabling people and robots to collaborate closely and create more value by working together in an optimized way.”
The system aims to optimize robot and people workflows, reducing in-aisle walking, and improving pick rate and accuracy. It can also provide real-time operations visibility to help cut unplanned production downtime, the company said. Gideon also said it’s easy to deploy and scale up or down with minimal impacts on any existing infrastructure and workflows.
The solution includes AMRs with a load capacity of up to 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs) powered by Gideon’s proprietary autonomy stack, and equipped with a simple picking application. The system can also optimize the workflow of people and robots, and enables quick integration with warehouse management systems and smart devices.
For more information on the system, visit the Gideon website here.

In Manhattan, owning a Penthouse apartment has long indicated a level of superior wealth. Owning a penthouse can be the ultimate status symbol, but it is also a way for the very rich to preserve their wealth by stashing $20, $50 or $100 million in a vertical bank of sorts outside traditional financial institutions.
Prior to the 1920s, before the widespread adoption of elevators in residential buildings, the top floor of apartment buildings were relegated to staff quarters. The staff would have to walk up 12 stories to get to their homes. How times have changed! The first Penthouse was thought to be at 1107 Fifth Avenue in the Upper East Side. With 54 rooms over the top 3 floors of this 14-story building, New York City had never seen such a thing.
With all the technological advancements over the last 100 years, now some penthouses reach to 1,500 feet in the air, such as at Central Park Tower, which has a triplex penthouse (yes - 3 full floors) on the 129th floor. Elevator advancements allow owners to get to their top floor apartment in 90 seconds. Quite a feat.
While most people consider the Penthouse to be solely the top floor of the building, today, the term is used more generally denoting a special apartment in a residential building that is unlike the others.
Often penthouses will have the largest living spaces, highest ceilings, grand floor plans, private outdoor terraces, special amenities such as pools, and one-of-a-kind finishes. Of course, most penthouses will also boast some of the best views of the city! While Penthouses in NYC can go up to well over $100 million, you don’t necessarily have to be a billionaire to own one either.

Remote Access Gateways & Clients¶
A remote access gateway enables “external” clients to connect to the network. External clients refer to clients that are not part of the mesh network, but need to connect to it. This could be a laptop, mobile device, or even a server that is not part of the network.
Access Control Lists¶
ACLs control communications between nodes on a network
Netmaker Professional is our advanced Netmaker offering for business use cases. It offers all the features of community edition plus:
Metrics: Nodes collect networking metrics such as latency, transfer, and connectivity status. These are displayed in the Netmaker UI, and also exported to Grafana via Prometheus.
Users: On community you can only create admin users, where as on PRO it gives ability to create non-admin users which you can pair with remote-access gateway to segment users on different networks.
Remote Access Client: Netmaker Professional comes with a remote access client that allows you to connect to your network from anywhere. This is a great way to connect to your network from a laptop or mobile device (soon).
FailOvers: FailOvers are made to help two peers communicate where they cannot talk directly due to their firewall restrictions, in which case their connection falls back through a failover node set by the user in the network.
Relays: All traffic routing to and from in a network for a relayed machine will go through the relay machine.

musicman Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 We need a fine mix of closer residential spaces, more retail, and specifically a WAY better public transportation system to get things going in downtown.if the public transportation system needs to get better, why not try and improve the system we have currently? putting in one new line isn't going to make a difference to most, leaving most with the same impression (METRO is mediocre).

Over the weekend, the Ford Motor Company launched its newest member of the legendary Mustang family of cars: the Ford Mustang Mach E, an electric SUV. As the only electric SUV to bear the Mustang name, it’s something of a black sheep in the stable—but like its gas-powered siblings, it’s built for performance.
Ford claims in a press release that the GT Performance Edition of the Mach E will be able to reach 60 mph in “the mid-3-second range,” about the same as a Jaguar I-Pace and the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid.
Here are the details on the new ‘Stang.
The Mach E will be available in both all-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive configurations, and it comes with either a standard battery that delivers 210-230 miles of range, depending on the model, or an extended-range battery that’s good for 300 miles of range in a rear-wheel drive model. According to Ford, an AWD drive model with the extended-range battery pack can pump out 332 horsepower and 417 lb-ft. of torque. If you really want to burn some rubber, opt for the Mach E GT or GT Performance Edition, which churn out 459 horsepower and 612 lb-ft. of torque.
With its touchscreens and electric motors, driving the Mach E will be a different experience than rowing through the gears on a vintage Mustang. But like any true muscle car, the Mach E has offers plenty of power to blow your hair back. Three driving modes are available, and Ford is calling them Whisper, Engaged, and Unbridled. Toggling between them alters everything from the steering feel to the ambient interior lighting for a sportier or more economical drive. According to The Verge, Ford also developed an engine sound for the Mach E the combines the whirr of an electric motor with the throaty exhaust note of a good old gas engine.
The Mach E is designed to work with a variety of charging ports, from the outlet in your garage to the latest high-powered EV stations. The Select version of the Mach E charges at a rate of 115kWh at DC fast-charging stations, while the rest of the lineup can charge at 150kWh on a fast-charge hookup. All of the models can plug into a standard 120V or 240V outlet, and Ford also offers a proprietary charging station that can juice up the batteries even faster.
How to Get One
The Mach E Select starts at $43,895, while the GT version starts at $60,500. You can make a refundable $500 deposit now, and vehicles will be available in 2020 and 2021, depending on the model.

NolaCycle Data Entry Map
This Google Map displays data collected and digitized by volunteers for the NolaCycle Bike Map Project in New Orleans.
The map shows useful information for cyclists about the streets of New Orleans. Roads on the map are colored to indicate road quality, road width and traffic speed. Using the map cyclists can tell at a glance which roads are better for cyclists and which roads are probably best avoided.
I think there are plans to use the collected data to create a map of recommended routes. The data could also be used to create a trip planner with cycling directions avoiding the red roads on the map.

Ram Charan has taken this as a meter for his image building exercise.
Not so long ago, Charan and his wife Upasana hosted a Langar meal at the famous Golden Temple in Amritsar. He later hosted a meal for BSF personnel in Punjab. Today, he took part in Azad Ka Amrit Mahotsav, an Indian-army related event.
Netizens are now commenting that Charan is building on the RRR fame and he is tapping into the nationalism angle with his latest acts. They say Charan is silently executing the plan for the North audience.
“Charan is also seen in Ayyappa Swamy mala which adds the Hinduism angle to the mix. All things combined, he is targeting the Northern audience. He is going aggressive with his PR strategy.” an observant netizen commented.
Charan will next be seen in Acharya which is up for release on the 29th of this month. He is also working on Shankar’s RC15.

The man with the donkey by sculptor Wallace Anderson, an iconic image of a stretcher-bearer with his donkey carrying a wounded comrade, epitomizes the courage and compassion of the Australian soldier.
Many soldiers wounded at Gallipoli owed their life to the stretcher bearers, who braved enemy fire to rescue men from the frontline and carry them to dressing stations on the beach.
The best known of the bearers was John Simpson Kirkpatrick who commandeered a donkey to aid him as casualties grew and manpower was stretched to its limits. Simpson, as he was known, was at the landing at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915 and was killed on 19 May 1915. His story came to exemplify the tenacity and courage of all Anzacs at Gallipoli.
Miss Philomena Robertson of the Red Cross Society was the driving force which led to the erection of the sculpture. In raising funds for the sculpture, Miss Robertson described it as ‘a Mothers’ tribute’.
