UPDATE 6 JAN: Samsung have announced an interactive drawing game ‘We Draw’ as winners, with on-demand workouts IPTV service ‘Gymbox’ second and space exploration app ‘Armchair Astronaut’ in third – more details on LostRemote:
ORIGINAL POST 4 JAN: Samsung have just announced the finalists of their $500,000 TV App development challenge, and unfortunately the lineup embodies all that’s wrong with Samsung’s approach to internet connected TV.
It should be said a few of the apps in themselves are actually neat ideas and nicely executed- like ‘Armchair Astronaut’ which allows users to explore the solar system on their television set with a really cool layer of real time information about the planets, and ‘TheGymBox’ which is a simple idea of workout videos via IPTV- but even these good ideas will probably fail to capture many eyeballs, and that’s down to Samsung…
Samsung’s approach to connected television is flawed for a number of reasons…
1. A bad U.I.: separating ‘apps’ and ‘television’
When navigating their devices there are separate zones for television (the EPG) and the app environment. As an early market where the audience have no history of using apps on their television set I suspect most people will only play with apps for 15 minutes when they unpack the TV for the first time and then never revisit, and why should they revisit a bunch of shallow novelty apps? Yahoo Connected TV is a better template where users navigate an array of apps (or widgets) via a broadcast overlay interface, but again it still only offers shallow services. A better template which is already a success are ‘red button’ services in the UK tied in to linear broadcast- these prompt people to access interactive services that are relevant to the broadcast content they are consuming, which brings me on to…
2. A lack of convergence with broadcast
Samsung seem to think they don’t need to engage with broadcasters to make their platform a success. Truth is we’re watching television broadcast content on average 4 hours a day and that’s a big potential launchpad for deeper interactive applications. A couple of the Samsung finalists make attempts to tie in with broadcast, like ‘Numote’, a Foursquare-esque ‘check in’ app for television shows, and ‘Guroo TV’ which is an EPG based on social trending, however the scope and depth of these apps could be supercharged with the participation of broadcasters – where ‘checking in’ via Numote can actually reward you with much more than points or badges, or where broadcaster-provided metadata fuels another layer of recommendation within ‘Guroo TV’. Truth is the app developers will struggle to strike a deal with broadcasters to tie in with their shows, but a market leader like Samsung could do this, particularly in Europe where 1 in 4 TV devices sold is a Samsung.
But despite the hype are Samsung actually that interested in apps? I suspect not, particularly in Europe where it doesn’t allow any broadcast overlay interactive services. I think for Samsung apps are just a novelty to differentiate their devides from their rivals. Chances are it will eventually scrap its own proprietary television apps environment for whichever third party internet connected TV platform dominates further down the line, be that GoogleTV (in the US) or YouView (in the UK).
3. Is it a computer screen? Is it a mobile phone? Who knows?
As well as physically separating ‘apps’ and ‘television’, and lacking convergence with broadcast, Samsung totally misunderstands television viewing behaviour. For many people television is a social experience – so along comes another ‘Twitter on your TV’ app in the shape of ‘TV Twicker’ where your tweets pop up as you watch your favourite shows. Have Samsung not heard of smartphones as a well established and pretty effective device for this? And who really wants tweets on their television set – whether you’re viewing in group or on your own? I don’t mean to be unfair to the developer because I’m sure there is a small audience out there who might use it, but for Samsung to select this as a finalist shows a lack of understanding of television user behaviour, and a lack of imagination and ambition. Unfortunately it goes from bad to worse with a ‘social jukebox’ second screen app ‘WeTeli’ where people can add videos to a playlist queue in social situations (ok, that’s not too bad I admit), add comments and rate (yeah, I don’t think that’s likely), and wait for it… they can throw virtual tomatoes at the screen if they don’t like the video (ok, now that’s actually not even fun the first time you do it)… if this is Samsung’s idea of ‘social’ then I won’t be attending any of their parties anytime soon.
4. A bad deal for developers
I don’t mean to be down on the developers, they’re just trying to tick the boxes of Samsung’s restrictive competition, but if Samsung weren’t offering loads of cash and prizes would anyone bother? I suspect not. Samsung not only lack transparency on their commercial terms with developers around revenue shares but it also takes them a lifetime to approve apps – 3-4 months if you’re very lucky, often significantly longer. Samsung say this is for quality control, as I said before I think this is because Samsung aren’t really taking TV apps as seriously as they suggest.
So, what next for Samsung’s high-profile apps challenge? Well the winners of the US competition are announced at C.E.S. in Vegas this week, the European Challenges are taking submissions until mid Jan and then expect an announcement of the winners shortly after, and all these apps will appear on the Samsung Apps platform this half of 2011.
I think the majority of the developers of these apps have a done a good job within the restraints of the Samsung’s platform, but I’d say as soon as they get that cheque from Samsung they should spend it on getting their ideas on a better platform, and even more, where appropriate, find a way of convincing broadcasters to use their technology. Broadcasters are not only hungry for good ideas (certainly in the UK), but they actually have the means to deliver an audience. It’s that convergence of linear broadcast and web enabled applications that are the real killer opportunity in the next few years.


What is Storage?
Basic – Computing
Reading Time – 1 minute, 16 seconds
Storage is a technology that utilizes computer components and devices to store data in digital format to be retrieved at a later time. It is useful to store excess data and backups. Storage devices such as external hard drives, CD/DVD, and USB devices are portable and let you move your data from one place to another physically. Random-access memory (RAM), computer cache, and internal hard drives are inbuilt computer components. The digital data stored inside storage is measured by bytes.
There are two types of data storage. One is temporary where the data are stored for a short period. The computer memory which is also known as random access memory (RAM) is a temporary data storage that holds working data and allows the computer to read and write data faster. The cache is another temporary memory where previous computation data is stored to serve quickly when similar computation requests are requested in the future. Since RAM and cache are temporary memory, the data contained in them will be lost when you turn off the computer.
The other type of storage is permanent. The computer hard drive, CD/DVD, external hard drives and USB devices belong to this category. The data you store in permanent storage will retain the same even if you unpower the device. Computer programs, program data, and user data are saved inside the internal hard drive which is permanent storage. The external hard drives, USB devices, and DVDs are usually used to store large files and back up computer data.

Barbara Hall's The Music Teacher ~ Reviewed
The Music Teacher
Pub. Date: February 2009
Publisher: Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill
Format: Hardcover, 292pp
In The Music Teacher, a penetrating and richly entertaining look into the heart and mind of a woman who has failed both as an artist and as a wife, Barbara Hall, award-winning creator and writer of such hit television series as Judging Amy and Joan of Arcadia, tells the story of a violinist who has accepted the limitations of her talent and looks for the casual satisfaction of trying to instill her passion for music in others. She gets more than she bargains for, however, when a young girl named Hallie enters her life. For here at last is the real thing: someone with the talent and potential to be truly great. In her drive to shape this young girl into the artist the teacher could never be, she makes one terrible mistake. As a result she is forced to reevaluate her whole life and come to terms with her future.
Hall has crafted a thoroughly engrossing novel that examines the pitfalls of failure and holds up a mirror to the face of a culture that places success and achievement above all else.
Barbara Hall is an artist who works in descriptions. She writes poetically about music and art, feelings and sensations, loss and sorrow, and she left me wanting to read more of her work. Her characters are complex and a group of musical snobs who fight amongst themselves and struggle to be great in the most mediocre of settings, a music store. Egos flair, and day-to-day details create drama and angst as they all try to find meaning and life in their passion for this music hunger that has stolen so much from each of them.
Pearl is the storyteller and main character. One who starts out as an embittered would-have-been and slowly blooms into someone who hasn't fully given up on what could be. She is both likable, sympathetic and frustrating, as are her music store friends and students.
Hall writes with a deep spirituality that is complicated and thought provoking. A spirituality that permeates every aspect of the characters' lives yet leaves them hungry for something outside of themselves and their tired lives.
Literary fiction lovers will be the most likely to appreciate Hall's The Music Teacher. General fiction fans might find the read a little slow. Younger readers might not appreciate the adult struggles. There is language and sexuality that borders on R-rated should you be searching for content details.
I will be reading more of Hall's novels.

Elliott fires broadside at GSK in wake of investor update
GlaxoSmithKline chief executive Emma Walmsley was no doubt hoping that an upbeat assessment of the firm's prospects at an investor meeting last week would deflect criticism of her leadership from activist investor Elliott Management – but finds herself in the firing line once again today.
The US hedge fund, run by billionaire Paul Singer, has bought a sizeable stake in GSK thanks to in part to its slumping share price in recent months, and has been grumbling about the direction that GSK has taken under its current management team.
In a 19-page letter to GSK chairman Sir Jonathan Symonds, Elliott said it had previously held off from sharing its thoughts about GSK publicly to allow the company to focus on the 23 June investor update. Now, it seems the gloves have well and truly come off.
While not mentioning Walmsley directly, the letter argues that GSK "has underperformed for years, operationally and financially. Despite possessing strong businesses in attractive markets, GSK has failed to capture business opportunities due to years of under-management."
Elliott is supportive of GSK's strategy to split itself into two, spinning off its consumer health (CH) interests and retaining its pharma business, but says the process is taking too long and creating an overhang on the company.
It also likes that the company has opted to cut its dividend, but says that comes far too late. GSK has "paid a higher dividend than it could afford" for at least four years – a period that coincides with Walmsley's time at the helm – although it says that mismanagement extends back for at least a decade.
Elliott repeatedly says that the company's current management lacks credibility, adding that GSK needs to effectively make a sweep of its current board and replace them with directors with greater "biopharmaceuticals and scientific experience" – which may be an oblique reference to Walmsley's background in consumer health.
According to the latter, shareholders "still lack clarity on the plan and structure for leadership" at either the 'new GSK' and the consumer health business.
"Elliott strongly believes that the future CEOs of New GSK and CH…must have the skillsets and expertise to match their respective tasks at hand," it argues.
Boiling the letter down to the basics, the hedge fund actually seems supportive of the overarching strategy at GSK, and says the company has substantial opportunity to transform its business, but is being let down by execution.
"CH and New GSK are two strong businesses that the market currently values far below their true potential. In our view, they warrant a combined valuation >45% higher than GSK's valuation today, especially as GSK progresses towards a full separation," it says.
Along with the appointment of new non-executive directors, Elliott would like to see a moratorium on profit and revenue-related bonuses unless management meets its 2026 targets of 5% profit growth and 10% turnover growth and raising the margin target from 30% to 32%.
It also thinks GSK should consider takeover bids for the CH business ahead of the spin-off, and argues that the flagship vaccines business should not be fully integrated with pharma " because we are not convinced that 'clear synergies' exist between the two."
GSK sent us the following statement after the letter was made public:
"GSK notes the announcement issued by Elliott. The legacy issues that Elliott identifies in its letter are not new. They have all been identified by GSK since 2017. The transformation programme has been designed to address all of these legacy issues, and more.
"We set out on 23 June an ambitious plan to deliver a step-change in performance and realise significant value for GSK shareholders over the next decade. We believe our shareholders are supportive of this strategy, and that they are focused on GSK executing on it without distraction or delay. This is our clear priority.
"We will respond to Elliott's letter more fully in due course."

Here are some useful notes for those taking the Search Engines Architecture grad course.
In Lab 4: Experiment in Parsing Techniques, you are building a Query Normalizer, a Document Parser, and a URL Normalizer.
In section 1, be sure the tool removes all kind of HTML instructions from the search interface.
In section 2, the document parser should does document linearization, tokenization, and filtration, but no stemming. The final output should be a list of tuples consisting of unique terms and occurrences.
Regarding section 3.1, Building a URL Normalizer, I’m adding new restrictions to this part.
This part challenges you to use regular expressions, only. No arrays, no scripting loops, no conditionals (if-then), no lookup libraries, no DNS lookups, just regexps. It should work for all valid urls available on the Web. It can be done.
The parser for the URL normalizer tool should remove from a URL all kind of:
protocols (http, https, ftp, etc)
top-level domains (TLD)
ports (:80, :8000, etc)
file extensions (.html, .php, etc)
parameters (name=value pairs)
named anchors or fragments (#)
URL-forbidden characters, international characters, or script lines
Be sure you understand the difference between top-level domains and subdomains. For example, .com and .pr are TLDs, but .com.pr defines a subdomain.
Let say we have the http://www.xxx.com.pr site. If we remove http://www. and .pr from this we end with xxx.com, but .com is not the TLD in this case. The TLD still is .pr, though. Redirection mechanisms are “another twenty bucks” (“otros veinte pesos”), which might confuse the concept.
You should also know that a TLD can be a generic top-level-domain (gTLD), a country-code top-level domain (ccTLD), international TLDs (iTLDs), or US legacy TLDs (usTLDs). When combined, these define a subdomain. For example,
.edu.pr is a subdomain with .pr as TLD
.co.uk is a subdomain with .uk as TLD
That is, for a url on the Web, only one string sequence works as and defines the top-level domain.

The power of rendering within drone footage
What is Aerial Animation?
Aerial animation in architectural visualization is a digital technique of inserting unbuilt architectural buildings (CGI) into aerial video footage, captured via drone or helicopter. This technique is used to illustrate the the existing urban context through
showing all the elements of the surrounding environment to be able to provide an effective perception of the outside, through a view from above or through a vision at eye level
What are the benefits of Aerial Animation?
Ground level photographs cannot fully convey the size of a majestic home or the scenery on a large piece of property. A bird’s eye view can allow prospective buyers to appreciate the size and scope of a building and the surrounding landscape. Aerial 3D renders can also include those elements of the building that can’t be seen from the street view. For example, aerial 3D renderings can let you view the rooftop terraces or gardens in the property from various angles. This allows the viewer to see the potential development of areas in the future from different angles. This can include additional key aspects of what makes that community attractive to purchase, such as the proximity to certain features of the community site; major roads connecting to the community, friendly parks, stunning lakes, etc. These visuals may also show the proximity to good schools, restaurants, night life, city life, etc. All key features that are important in the buyer
Aerial Animation is especially helpful for cityscape scenarios. Each building is part of a city and can’t stand alone.
For architects, aerial animation helps people to understand how your design impacts the city.
For developers, aerial animation can help you to deliver your vision to the public, city council and increase the value of your property.
For marketing agencies, aerial animation is a powerful asset to help you to convey your messages to the buyers and increase sales and market value.
What is the process to create an aerial animation?
1. Use 3D model/scene to decide flying paths for drone footage
2. Extract 3D camera from drone footage and overlay into position in the 3d model.
3. Render out video of the fly-through animation and remove any unwanted elements from drone footage
4. Overlay animation video on top of drone footage

Air Filters, Humidifiers & When to Change Them
We understand that air quality is a vital concern for homeowners, especially those who suffer from allergies or respiratory issues. At GENT Heating and Cooling, we are committed to being the best HVAC Company in Knoxville Solutions for helping you to maintain clean, healthy air in your home. This article will explore various tools and methods for improving your home's air quality, including air filters, humidifiers, and other useful tools.
Why is Air Quality Important?
The quality of the air we breathe has a consequential impact on our health and well-being. Poor indoor air quality can cause or worsen a range of health problems, including allergies, asthma, and respiratory infections. Exposure to pollutants in the air can also lead to long-term health effects such as heart disease, lung cancer, and stroke.
Air filters are an essential tool for improving indoor air quality. They work by trapping pollutants, allergens, and other harmful particles as they circulate through your home's HVAC system. Several types of air filters are available, including HEPA, electrostatic, and UV-C light filters.
HEPA filters are among the most effective types of air filters, capable of removing 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. Electrostatic filters use an electric charge to attract and trap particles, while UV-C light filters use ultraviolet light to kill bacteria and viruses. Talk to an HVAC Company in Knoxville about the best option for your home.
Humidifiers are another useful tool for improving indoor air quality. They work by adding moisture to the air, which can help relieve dry skin, alleviate respiratory symptoms, and reduce the spread of airborne viruses. Various humidifiers, such as cool and warm mist and ultrasonic humidifiers, are available. Cool mist humidifiers are generally the safest and easiest to maintain, while warm mist humidifiers are better suited for cold climates. Ask your local HVAC company in Knoxville which humidifier is suitable to use with your existing HVAC system.
Other Useful Tools
In addition to air filters and humidifiers, there are several other tools and methods for improving your home's air quality. These include:
- Air Purifiers: Similar to air filters, air purifiers are designed to remove pollutants and allergens from the air. They work by using filters, electrostatic charges, or ozone to remove particles.
- Ventilation: Conventional ventilation is vital for maintaining good indoor air quality. This can be achieved by opening windows and doors, using exhaust fans, or installing a mechanical ventilation system.
- Houseplants: Certain types of houseplants can help improve indoor air quality by removing pollutants and toxins from the air. Some of the best plants for this purpose include spider plants, peace lilies, and snake plants.
Why Change Your Air Filter?
The primary purpose of an air filter is to capture dust, dirt, and other airborne particles, preventing them from circulating throughout your home. Over time, these particles can accumulate and clog the filter, reducing its effectiveness and causing your HVAC system to work harder than it needs to. This can lead to higher energy bills, decreased system efficiency, and potential mechanical problems down the line. Talk to an HVAC company in Knoxville for advice on changing your air filter.
In addition to improving system efficiency and reducing energy costs, regularly changing your air filter can positively impact your health. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air, and poor indoor air quality is associated with many health issues, which may include respiratory problems and allergies, and asthma. By changing your air filter regularly, you can help reduce the number of pollutants in your home, creating a healthier environment for you and your family.
How Often Should You Change Your Air Filter?
The answer depends on a number of factors, including the type of filter you have, the size of your home, and the number of occupants. As a general rule of thumb, almost every HVAC Company in Knoxville recommends changing your filter every three months. However, if you have pets, allergies, or live in an area with high levels of air pollution, you may need to change your filter more frequently.
Another factor to consider is your filter's MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) rating. Filters with a higher MERV rating are more efficient at capturing smaller particles but tend to clog more quickly. If you have a filter with a high MERV rating, you may need to change it more frequently to maintain optimal system performance.
Tips for Maintaining Good Indoor Air Quality
In addition to changing your air filter on a regular basis, there are several other steps you can take to maintain good indoor air quality:
- Vacuum and dust your home regularly to reduce the amount of dust and allergens in the air.
- Keep humidity degree in check by using a dehumidifier or air conditioner.
- Use natural cleaning products and avoid products with strong fragrances or harsh chemicals.
- Make sure there is proper ventilation by opening windows and using exhaust fans in the kitchen and bathroom.
Following these tips and changing your air filter regularly can help improve your indoor air quality and create a healthier home environment for you and your family.
Regularly changing your air filter is a simple and effective way to maintain good indoor air quality and keep your HVAC system running smoothly. By following the recommendations of an HVAC company in Knoxville, Tennessee, and paying attention to factors like filter type, MERV rating, and household factors, you can ensure that your home is a healthy and comfortable place to live. Maintaining clean, healthy air in your home is essential for your health and well-being. Tools such as air filters, humidifiers, and other valuable tools can improve indoor air quality and reduce the risk of respiratory problems and other health issues.

IndiEarth At The Park: Flipping It Up
Broken beats and chest rattling bass, atmospheric textures and serene melodies – these sound like they belong on opposing ends of the sound spectrum, but actually coexist in one artist’s sound. Electronica artist Sickflip aka Sarvesh Shrivastava likes to flip things up every once in a while during his live shows, and after opening for Israeli Gorestep master Borgore this past weekend in Bombay he will now play the upcoming edition of IndiEarth At The Park this Saturday June 6th at The Park Chennai. Prepare for an onslaught of bass and deep experimental vibes at Leather Bar from 10:30 pm onwards.
Also playing for this evening of independent sounds and new music is Alexis – a six piece act from Bangalore named after its front woman Alexis D’Souza. The band finds its sound in the spaces between Synthpop, Dreampop and R & B, and early 2012 is when Alexis first began creating original material. They will play at Aqua on the terrace of The Park Chennai at 9pm. By introducing new artists and unconventional sounds to Chennai’s live music landscape, the gig series looks to develop Chennai’s alternative music culture and offer diversity to the city’s audiences.

For the second time during the 2013 NBA playoffs, Madison Square Garden will host a clash between the New York Knicks and Boston Celtics, as they play Game 2 of their first-round series.
During Game 1, it was a defensive clinic by both sides as stars were smothered and the Knicks took home an 85-78 victory. Carmelo Anthony finished with 36 points on 13-of-29 shooting, while Jeff Green tallied 26 on 8-of-15 shooting from the field.
When it was all said and done, however, it was the Knicks' defense that held Boston to eight fourth-quarter points and thus secured a 1-0 series lead.
In Game 2, were the Celtics able to build upon three solid quarters of play and close out stronger to knot this series up? Or were the Knicks able to expand their series lead to 2-0?

The Permaculture Pop Icon
The Humble chicken is a Pop Icon. Today, she is one of the most successful species on earth. There are more chickens than the humans. And unlike most domesticated animals they continue thrive in the wild. As a result of our relationship with the chicken, there are now thousands of breeds of chickens. Chickens are almost as loved as cats and dogs. This success is a result of their resourceful and adaptable nature.
For a long time, chickens have been familiar with us. Whilst people may be blind to plants, but they’re not blind to furry creatures with faces. Early chickens sailed the world, traveling across the Pacific into America and beyond. Long before Europeans did. Most people know what a chicken looks like, what it eats and what it makes. In fact, more people could manage a chicken than any other farm animal. The chicken is a cheap and multifunctional tool for environmental living. It is a quick composter, a natural fertiliser producer and quick pest controller. This is how the little chicken en-graced itself it so many busy people’s lifestyle.
How did they become a Permaculture Pop Icon?
Permaculture is a tricky design concept. It is very hard to explain in a click-bite. Yet, most people can guess what goes in and what comes out of this handy little Icon. One of the basic tools for making a permaculture design is to find compatible placements for things.
When we know what goes in and what comes out, we can design for these needs. Ideally, we put an element right near the supplies it needs and we let it deliver the waste (like the golden gifts) where we can use and collect it.
The ins and outs of a simple Pop Icon
In hindsight, we can see how the example of the chicken really is clear and understandable. When we design smartly, we enable the chickens to deposit their fertiliser right where we need it. We are giving the chicken a comfortable home and grazing space that also gives the garden fertiliser, weed and pest control. The eggs are easy to collect, cool and clean.
Next Big Thing for this Pop Icon
The biggest challenge for the chicken is to become as well-loved as the cat. Unfortunately the chicken does have a major social indiscretion. She seems unable to be toilet trained. Could compost-able diapers for hand-bag chickens be the next fashion trend? If the chicken was to attain high popularity as a pet, an enormous amount of food waste would be reduced.
In fact, the chicken is poised to rise from the status of Pop Icon to an environmental Super-hero.
