Every now and then, I get a phone call out of the blue....
OK, mostly I get an email out of the blue, asking for a time for a phone call, but sometimes they just call.
Telemarketers? Nope, just the opposite. They are people just like you who are curious about the eMetrics Summit.
Sure there's metric boatloads of info on the website
Videos (including one of me in my car - What was I thinking?)A list of companies that have attended in the pastTestimonials from attendeesAnd my favorite: Funding Approval Success Tips
And sometimes, they just want to ask a human if the eMetrics Summit is right for them.
Now, of course, I would like everybody to come to the eMetrics Summit!
But I am much more interested in having everybody who comes to find it valuable. So I am careful in my recommendations.
"I'm a student and I can't afford it and I'm not sure if I'm interested in this industry."
You should come and check it out. A) We have a 50% discount for students. B) If you're serious and really will show up, we can trade a two- or three-day pass in exchange for volunteering.
"I'm an SEO / SEM person and don't know if this is going to help me."
It absolutely will help you. Search is just one of many data streams. The eMetrics Summit is all about analyzing multiple data streams. Nobody is an expert in all areas - so if you know lots and lots about search, you can learn how to integrate that data with all the other streams. And you might be just the right person to give a presentation to the rest of us about search analytics. Check out the Call for Speakers.
"I've done A/B split testing, multivariate testing, email remarketing, display retargeting, data visualization, social media sentiment analysis and much more. I've been at this for years. In fact, I am now in charge of a team of people who do those things. What the heck can I learn at this conference?"
1. The keynotes are major, name-brand companies with big budgets who are leading the charge. You'll learn what is troubling even the best and the brightest and find out how they are tackling those problems. where we are headed. They also share where they are headed next.
2. The eMetrics Strategy Track covers the gamut from marketing mix modeling to managing your career. Learn something to enhance your corporate analytics strategy. How do you optimizing your optimization program? How do you protect customer privacy? How about the art of meaningful scorecards and dashboards? You'll also learn insights about career path options, hiring guidance and how to communicate insights better so you are more influential.
3. You'll get a lot out of the eMetrics Management Track because people and process are trickier than technology. Planning and implementing solid process management, explaining the niceties of online analytics to senior executives, how to build a cost effective, high value analytics team - these things are not found in the manual or the online help pages. These are people skills, you can learn from people.
"I love marketing , but I find math intimidating. Can I really get into this without a PHD in statistics? I was an English Major in college."
Yeah, me too - Shakespeare.
"We're a non-profit and have no money for conferences, tools, analysts, etc. But I really want to come and learn. Is that possible?"
See the above answer about volunteers and 50% off for students, non-profits and government.
Check out the Analysis Exchange before you do anything else!
Finally, if you want to ask a human if the eMetrics Summit is right for you, call me.
I'm human.

(Weird fact: I've had that phone number since 1979)
I went Back to the Future and I'm here to report what I found.
It was Thursday, April 18, 2013, from 9:00 until 4:00 at the San Francisco Marriott Marquis Hotel in conjunction with the eMetrics Summit. It was the eMetrics Executive Roundtable and I learned three very important things.
I can tell you what I learned, but not from whom due to the Chatham House Rule:
When a meeting, or part thereof, is held under the Chatham House Rule, participants are free to use the information received, but neither the idenity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s), nor that of any other participant, may be revealed.
This was my third trip to the future in connection with online marketing and customer analytics. The first time was 2002 when I launched the first eMetrics Summit in Santa Barbara. The audience was the content, the conversation was mesmerizing and the future looked very bright indeed. There have been at least two (and lately eight) eMetrics Summits each year ever since. Sharp people doing smart things with data to improve the customer experience - and profitability, of course.
Seven years after launch, it was time for another foray into the unknown so I hosted another gathering of the initiated, resulting in 101 Things You Should Know; A Report from the eMetrics Analysis Symposium, Summer 2009.
But by 2013, things had changed so much, so fast, it was time to regroup and re-gather a smaller, more established, more accomplished set of individuals to take a peek over the horizon. The eMetrics Executive Roundtable included more than a dozen senior analytics types with real-world, hands-on, enterprise level customer experience experience. The topics on the table were: Where are we? What's the hard part? What's next?
The conversation ran from people to process to technology and the areas of concern were all predicted back in 2002:
The conversation brought forth many great snippets of advice for dealing with each of the above, but they were tactical and will be the subject of numerous blog posts to come. While valuable, none were as ground breaking as the three I things I actually learned this time.
1. You No Longer Need to Know the Question Before You Start Collecting Data
This resonated so deeply that it is still ringing in my ears. I was compelled to offer it up as a new definition for Big Data. The three V's are nice (Volume, Variety, Velocity) but everybody gets hung up on volume: How much do you need before you can call it Big? How much data does it take to change a light bulb?
The amount just doesn't matter. Whether it's Stéphane Hamel's, "That which no longer fits into Excel" or it's measured in petabytes, yottabytes or brontobytes, the quantity is immaterial. What matters is that we can afford to capture and mange more than we could before.
Classic database design says the first thing you do is, "Determine the purpose of your database." Then you can go out and organize the data that will answer your questions. And then divide the information into tables and columns with primary keys to uniquely identify each row, set up the table relationships, refine your design and apply normalization rules.
If you don't know the questions you want answered, you cannot get off the ground.
Why? Because in a world of limited resources (disk space and processing power), careful planning was central to allocating those resources.
When Hector was a pup, I sold business computers. Our regional professional organization started selling Cado computers, warmed up to Data General and finally graduated to selling IBM System 34's and 36's. One day, the sales team was driven down to the local Prime Computer offices where we got a demo of the new machine we'd soon be selling: the Prime 850. This 32-bit bad boy was a multi-stream, parallel processing wonder with ultra-high density MOS memory packing 64k bits on a single chip and could support 128 terminals - at the same time. It was a smokin' hot machine. After the chalk-talk about what parallel piping meant to number crunching, we actually got our hands on the actual device. Well, OK, we got to look on as our host sat in front of an amber screen, paused at the command prompt said, "Watch this. I'm going to ask for the phone numbers of all our customers who have purchased 550's, 650's or 750's in the Southwest whose maintenance contracts are about to expire. It's as simple and as fast as this...!" We all murmured our admiration that he would try such a query on a multi-terminal machine. Such confidence. Such raw power! And then we waited. After five minutes - which is an interminably long time when you don't know whether you should still be impressed or not - he got up and left the room with a cloud over his head. After another five minutes he returned and explained that a new secretary had been asked to look up a phone number ... and she did ... on her terminal ... at the command prompt ... inarticulately querying seven databases at the same time and bringing the machine to its knees. The demo was not nearly as impressive after that.

Today, with dirt-cheap storage and distributed computing on clusters of computers, the resources are not nearly so limited and the ability to pre-process unstructured data into structured data - fit for online analytical processing - is at hand.
As a result, potentially interesting data can be collected at will until such time as somebody comes up with the question du jour. Data collection is now a matter of course and we can really focus our attention of asking better questions more often.
2. The Website is No Longer an Oddity
In the beginning, the corporate website was a skunk-works project that a couple of guys in IT played with. Later, marketing discovered it and a small group of marketing and technical people kept it going because it was so cool.
When it started costing real money, management tried to find the right home for it. Large retailers did their best to ignore the whole thing until stores started to complain that these nerds were sucking up resources and cannibalizing sales. New silos of customer experience and behavioral data were born along with new political rivalries.
In 1995 I was brought in to explain the World Wide Web to a group or marketing executives at Sears. I told them that they would be soon selling everything online. There was outright laughter in the room. In an avuncular fashion, my host gently informed me that the current CEO was doing just fine even after killing the iconic Sears Catalog. They were done selling through the mail and would stick with stores. I was crushed. Not that my ideas were wrong. Oh no, I was much too arrogant for that. I was crushed that I could not get them to see the obvious truth, right in front of their eyes. One member of the audience that day was a consultant with IBM who asked me to participate in a three day brain storming session with Lowes so I could explain the vision. That meeting only had about twenty people in it so there was an actual conversation. The team at Lowes got it. They were excited about online customer service and sales and advertising. But they faced a serious political problem - they were in competition with their own stores. I explained that the Internet was the same as the telephone. It was just a tool that could be used to aid in marketing and sales. It didn't have to compete. Snap-On Tools, State Farm Insurance, Johnson & Johnson - everywhere I went, they wouldn't tolerate channel conflict and I kept begging them to see that the Internet did not have to conflict but could support and enhance communication with their customers. Q: How long would it take for these people to figure it out?A: About twenty years.

A decade ago, large retailers (some sooner than others) granted the company website full status as a store. It would get the same resources as any other store that was selling as much. That was new; a recognition that the Internet was not a fad and that the people working on the World Wide Web were not 'playing' with computers. Ecommerce was real commerce.
At the eMetrics Executive Roundtable, I heard a very forward-thinking company make a statement that I had expected to have come true much sooner. But when a participant from another large retailer on the other side of the table said, "Yes, we're doing that too," it rang that resonating bell that said this is a major sea change - a shift in thinking that comes from maturity.
"We're not an independent store. We're not doing ecommerce. We are part of the infrastructure. We're a service organization. It's a little more complicated than just ZIP codes, but when a sale is made online, the local store gets the credit."
That's what I had been trying to get others to understand.
Buy it here, buy it now, or let me order it for you online and we'll ship it to you.Please see our huge selection on our website.Buy it now and pick it up in the store this afternoon.Buy it on your phone, return it in the store.
It all seemed so obvious in 1995.
3. Transparency Wins
Full disclosure: This part was something I learned from a break-out session at the eMetrics Summit and not in the Executive Roundtable. I suspect this is a little too forward thinking at this point and it may only be an instance, rather than the proof in the pudding.
I wrote about some previous resonating moments from Emetrics Summits past in my recent article Profitable Newspaper: Hold the Presses! I mentioned them in a run-up to the current rendition: Joseph Gordon of the San Diego Union-Tribune told how they had become profitable by using analytics to become transparent in their product development and in their selling of ad space.
The condensed version of that article goes like this: Authors (and management) see a daily dashboard that compares the traffic and engagement each one of them ignites. Journalists who have been on staff for decades are competing with those who were hired last week. Their editorial staff remains vigilant that standards are kept high. After all, if you run multivariate testing to its logical extreme, you get porn and the Sand Diego UT is on the opposite end of that spectrum.
Further, the newspaper owns a local cable channel and their advertisers see all the stats on impressions, time on site, clickthroughs, etc., which all get correlated to the Nielsen overnights and to the ads seen on the web by the same individuals.
There is a sense of "information wants to be free" at work here and "transparency breeds confidence" at work here. People do not want to know how the sausage is made, but they do want to know whether or not and how much horse meat is in it.
Trust your employees to make better products when they can see your customers' response. Trust your advertisers to be happier to work with you and spend more money when they can see the direct results of their expenditures.
Yes, this all sounds very far-fetched but as Wired Magazine celebrates its 20th birthday, it's good to know that some people, somewhere, are wringing value out of these principles. Or, as William Gibson likes to say, the future is already here - it's just not evenly distributed.
So those are my three big takeaways the eMetrics Executive Roundtable. Maybe you'll be at the next one and we can compare notes.
Oh, and here's a bonus thought, aspirational perhaps, but altogether hoped for: When privacy laws are enacted, one of the potential benefits will be forcing companies to finally create systems around customer data rather than living in transactional, accounting, behavioral or attitudinal silos.
One can hope.
Once upon a time, there was a Marketing Analytics Manager at Verisign named Ted McDonald who had everything; a great career, a happy set of triplets whom he hopes will play the ukulele someday. But he made one tragic miscalculation... He appeared in Emer Kirrane's Silly Series of analytics interviews wearing this shirt:
It took me years to track down this wearer of copyright infringement. I hunted high and low and finally came across him at the eMetrics Summit in Toronto in March of 2013.
It was, in fact, at the Web Analytics Wednesday associated with eMetrics and there, I was able to begin exacting my revenge.
So be warned and beware... Should you or anybody you know decide it would be wise to sport an article of clothing with my image, know that I will not take it lying down.
Proof? You want proof do you? Take THAT Ted McDonald!
Yeah, that's right.
Tha's what I'M talkin' 'bout (Translation: This is of which I am speaking)
And for good measure, I'm getting all recursive with your face:
You think you've got game?
The next eMetrics Summit is in San Francisco April 14 - 18
Your Name In Northern LightsNew Marketing Medium Announced
Company Slogans in the Skies Before the End of the Year
SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA 4/1/13 - Scientists have announced a new method of using the Northern Lights as a display for advertising. This latest development on the marketing front has large companies scrambling to be the first to sign up with a new service being offered by Target Marketing of Santa Barbara.
"It's essentially a breakthrough in ionospheric and magnetospheric physics," says Jim Sterne of Target Marketing. "Years ago, original studies had been focused on the use of low frequency signals to communicate with space probes across vast distances, and now the Internet gives us a large enough platform to control the Northern Lights."
Computer models generated back in the early 1980s indicated that a blanket of loosely woven copper wire spread over a huge area could generate controlled pulses. The intent was communication with spacecraft that had left the solar system. Low-frequency communication has long been used to communicate with submarines far out at sea. It was deemed impractical at the time, however, to construct such a system due to its enormous cost. Today the Internet backbone provides the platform, and the characteristics of modern routers and switches provide the controls.
The clock rates of modern chips and the use of interference pattern techniques can generate over-clocked signals in the 400 to 500 GHz range. These signals interact with the Ionosphere and can be tuned to cause alterations in Northern Lights contours. Target Marketing plans to display the first commercial messages in Northern Lights within the year and the announcement has started a bidding war among several corporations.
Target Marketing is in discussions with product development executives at Hortonworks to create the first holographic in-memory databases above The Cloud.

You think you've got analytics problems?
In the middle of February, 2012, I reviewed some analytics dilemmas from 2005 in an article entitled Analytics Problems Won't Die.
In that article, I discussed the problems we had solved, including:
The numbers don't match and we're over it. Different tools measure differently. The end.
The Internet is considered an important part of the marketing mix and brand recognition measurement is par for the course - especially with the advent of social media.
We finally have dashboards (although they are becoming less useful)
We have analytics roles and responsibilities.
We know how much data to keep (All of it!)
I also discussed problems that refused to go away and that's why the article came to mind last week. At the eMetrics Summit in Toronto, we did another Roundtable Discussion on our top-most problems.
Here's the list that came from Canada:
Need a common key to master multiple channels
This was reiterated a number of ways including synching online and offline. The solution? Figure out a way to incentivize people enough to opt in. I want to log into Amazon on every device I own. Can you make me want to log in to your car wash web site, app and when I drive in?
Too many tools
This used to be too much data but now that Big Data is all the rage, we are embracing the surge rather than shunning the deluge. however, the need to master more and more tools to accommodate the wider variety of data types is fiscally, mentally and integration-ally taxing. The implementation and training are wearing us down. The issue is one of prioritization... and good luck with that.
The "half my dollar is wasted" problem is not going away. However, I saw several presentations at eMetrics that gave me hope. Moen is doing some very interesting work with Critical Mass, identifying the drivers of different stages of the buying cycle. They're taking a more marketing mix modeling approach that has real merit. Ross Jenkins showed a very interesting approach that big pharma is using to nail down the impact their online efforts are having on branded prescription requests in the doctor's office. Attribution remains a troubling problem for those with limited resources.
The runner-up for the Most Common Problem:
Change management
How do I get my boss to understand the value of analytics?
How do I get buy-in from those for whom the insights are created?
How do I explain that data collection by itself is not enough?
How do I stay up to date in this ever-changing landscape?
What KPI's should I be looking at today??
But the clear winner these days:
Finding qualified, experienced and talented people
This was the subject of our last keynote panel at the eMetrics Summit in Toronto and the options were slim. Jennifer van Amerom from IQ PARTNERS makes a living helping people with this. Marco Bailetti at Franklin Templeton Investments declared he has six open requisitions at the moment and hires based on personality first and technical rigor second. (If you can't be a change agent, all of your truly wonderful analytics work is going nowhere if you can't champion it.) Angie Brown from IBM confirmed that it really is who you know. That's why social media is so popular: If somebody you know can recommend somebody....
While these problems seem perennial, the eMetrics Summit continues to bring hundreds of people together to actively share and learn how to conquer them. The next one is in San Francisco, April 14 - 18. Maybe you should come - we could sure use the help.
Linked In - you are just too funny
Is the Pope Catholic?
Did the little piggy cry "wee wee wee" all the way home?
Do woodchucks chuck wood?
Does it take two to tango?
Is the pen mightier than the sword?
Does a rolling stone gather no moss?
If a tree falls in the woods when nobody is around, does it still make a noise?
Do these pants make me look phat?
If you don't know these people or why I find this SO funny,you should definitely come to the eMetrics Summit in San Francisco
Sometimes the numbers just go up and down.
This was one of the main points made by Michael Blastland in his keynote at the eMetrics Summit in London last month.
Michael is the author of The Tiger That Isn't (http://www.amazon.com/Tiger-That-Isnt-Michael-Blastland/dp/1861978391/), a book about how there are lies, damned lies and statistics.
Given our human propensity for storytelling, we are desperate to makes sense out of chaos and to bend data to our will. We are drenched in mental traps created out a variety of biases that are all too human. I delved into this in an article for ClickZ called Don't Believe Everything You Think (http://www.clickz.com/clickz/column/2076211/dont-believe).
But Blastland's point was even simpler. Sometimes numbers just go up and down.
Like waves, there are natural peaks and troughs. This is one of those few places where averages are actually useful. On average, waves are higher in the winter than in the summer. On average, the wind picks up in the afternoon. On average, you are more likely to get into a car crash within 5 miles of your home.
But how you measure your averages is crucial.
Blastland's excellent example was with the wonderful job that traffic cameras have done in lowering fatalities on UK roads.
He had members of the eMetrics audience roll one die twice, and add up the numbers. He then asked for a show of hands for those who had high scores (12, 11 and 10) and those who had low scores (2, 3 and 4). As you would expect, most people fell into the middle.
Blastland then showed a photo of a traffic camera and asked the few people who had high scores (Tragic Deaths On The Highway!) to roll again. As you might assume, their scores were dramatically lower than the first time.
Ah-HAH! was Blastland's response. Just a photo of a traffic camera was enough to lower the death rates significantly!
Then he explained that the UK Department for Transport had fallen for a similar statistical slipup when they:
1. Identified roads where an unusually large number of traffic fatalities had accrued.
2. Set up traffic cameras on those stretches of roads.
3. Took great glee in reporting how successful their program was in lowering fatalities.
When you measure the peaks of waves at specific locations, blow pixie dust in the air, then measure the exact same location, you might think that the pixie dust has dramatically lowered the average height of the water and invest heavily in more pixie dust.
A Department for Transport press release stated: "Deaths and serious injuries fell by 35% on roads where speed cameras have been in operation, the transport secretary, Alistair Darling, announced today. He said: 'The report clearly shows speed cameras are working. Speeds are down and so are deaths and injuries ... This means that more lives can be saved and more injuries avoided.'"
That was in 2003. It took three years for Blastland to convince the DfT that they may want to reexamine their findings and they finally conceded and dropped their effectiveness claim. Bottom line? The money could have been spent better elsewhere.
So when you're looking over your A/B split tests, your multivariate tests and your attribution regression testing, remember that thing about correlation and causation.
Up early and feeling refreshed.
Morning run, feeling self-righteous.
Play with the puppies over breakfast, feeling cheerful.Into work early – more self-righteousness.
Quick check of a handful of Tweeters I follow andit starts to dawn on me:
It may be Tuesday, but the Universe has decidedit's going to be another Monday.
First up: Eric Peterson follows up with his "social media is like coffee" conversation with Tim O'Reilly and Charlene Li:
Click and:
OK – we classify this under Sh#t Happens and figure Eric will report when he's done cursing the gods of WordPress.
On to Avinash Kaushik's #rant:
I read his post with sympathy and the comments with a knowing nod and feel compelled to post a link to the Internet Explorer vs. Murder Rate data visualization joke with some witty comment about how maybe in this case, there is causation and Google Maps should post the locations of people trying to install Win 7 SP1 so we can avoid those areas.
But I can't.
The short version is that I have recently moved my email hosting to Google's Gmail and there's this awkward week of transferring data between conflicting accounts that means I cannot log into Google Plus until further notice. (grumble, grumble, grumble)
So – machines and humans are not going to get along today.
But then, I come across something that compels me to post.
Yes, that's right, all of the above was just preamble. Now we get to the heart of the thing.
It starts with this tweet:
As with the above, this is a convergence of people I respect. I've known Matthias for years and seriously admire his enthusiasm and deep understanding of the practical side of analytics. He understands the technology and the politics. Matthias is now working at Semphonicwhich is Gary Angel's firm and has always been top notch. I have also known Celebrus for donkey's years, back when they were Speed-Trap with some seriously interesting technology.
I got Malcolm Duckett to bring me up to speed once the Celebrus logo was flying high and I was duly impressed. This was analytics taken to its logical extreme, empowering the automation of marketing. Nicely done.
But that was more than a year ago and lots can change in a year. So if Semphonic has undertaken the effort to explain what Celebrus is up to these days, I want to know.
And this is where my tale of woe hits the bubble-over point.
I click on the link in the tweetI arrive at the landing pageI readI scratch my headI read moreI winceI read againI cry.I post.
Let us not take this from the top of the page, but from the top-of-mind.
"When Web Analytics Marries Database Marketing" Joint White Paper with Semphonic Inc
OK – I'm on the right page. Good.
I am ready to download…. but first, I need to give them my email, name, company and country. Fine Fair trade. I'm used to it.
But wait…..
The eye is drawn to those immortal words in the middle of the second paragraph: "click here".
Click here to what? Now it's my job to scan the text on either side to figure out why I should click.
firstly please click here to go to the collection management page
Hmmmmm…. I don't really understand. Shouldn't I just fill out the form and be done with it? OK, OK, Let me read the whole sentence and see if it makes more sense.
If you are not opted-in and want to download a white paper, firstly please click here to go to the collection management page and opt in.
Uhm… won't I "be opted in" if I just fill out the little form on the right?
OK… let's go for the whole paragraph, shall we?
We ask that you please register with us in order to receive our white papers.
Fair enough – that's what the little form is for, yes?
Please complete and submit the contact form on the right of this page.
Right – just as I thought.
You will then receive an email to the address given containing a link leading you to the page where you can download the document.
That's all pretty standard and why are you wasting my time with the obvious?
If you are opted-in and do not clear your cookies you will only need to do this once as the Celebrus software will remember you when you return.
If I am opted in but do not clear my cookies? Yes! Of course!That's how cookies work. Great, you will remember me. Terrific.
Right.And how am I to know whether I am opted in or not?
Once you have opted in you can register on this page and then access the whitepaper. Thank you and happy reading!
So the little form on the right is a ruse. You need me to go to adifferent landing page and then come back here and then fill out the little form?
This is not going to end well. I can tell already that I am facing the opening to a rabbit hole from which I may never find my way back to the white paper.
But wait… for reasons unknown…. my eye is drawn to the very top of the page. Up there one is all but commanded to ignore. First, it's waaay up top, above the company logo. Next, it's in a colored box. That means it's a header with no information. Probably just there for SEO purposes. Next. the colors are black text on a dark gray background. These are the primary do-not-read-me choices. Lastly, it's labeled:
Cookies and Privacy
Nothing to see here… move along.
You are currently opted in.
I am… wait… What?I am?
We are optimising this site for you based on your behaviour in the site and we will use data we collect to communicate with you as part of this process when this is appropriate.
My mind is whirling. My temples are pounding.And then I read the very least important thing on the page.
I read the paragraph just under the big title and the paragraph with the "click here" imperative in it. I'm referring to the paragraph that is displayed in light gray text on a white background. The most ignore-me-please combination possible:
This joint white paper between Semphonic Inc. and Celebrus Technologies looks at: the morphing of web analytics into digital analytics; the importance of individual data in database marketing; the reasons for these two disciplines to marry; the value that organisations are already achieving with this new approach.
So this is a white paper about how you can use cookies to remember people in order to improve the customer experience and you've put me through this?

And now, I have something to read while I wait for an email from Celebrus.
And, in the meantime, Eric Peterson's post about social media as coffee has appeared.
More good reading.
Maybe it'll become Tuesday after lunch…
I had the pleasure of touring Eastern Canada last week. Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa decided it was time to punish me for living in Santa Barbara. Oh, it was beautiful and the skies were clear and the sun was bright but it was a bit chilly. The temperature even sounded cold … even in Fahrenheit. Minus six degrees sounds coooold. And in Celsius? -22. I have a screen shot to prove it. That's when things go from bracing to dangerous.
Therefore, I would like to send out special thanks to Nicholas Bennett, VP, Product Development at Napkyn for finding my (only) winter coat in the back of the back coat closet at the Empire Grill in Ottawa after I had given it up for stolen. Not possible! said my cohort of locals and Nicholas went back to look one more time. Nicholas, many thanks. My Pandora baseball cap in the pocket is a prized possession.
The most fun I had in my whirl-wind #eMetrics tour (next to giving presentations, which I love), was handing out free tickets to the eMetrics Summit in Toronto to three lucky winners. It's great to see their eyes light up but I wanted to know more about them.
Allow me to introduce Natalia Bogatirev and Michelle Gosselin to the#measure community.
Natalia Bogatirev is an Oracle database developer for Pythian. She is also a 4th year student at the University of Ottawa in the B.Comm program with a Management Information Systems specialization. She had read about the eMetrics Summit and signed up for the event in Ottawa to see if it was interesting enough to make a career as a data analyst.
Now that she has a ticket to the eMetrics Summit, she's interested in learning about new trends in the field, meet and talk with experts in the field of data analysis and learn from their experience and get a better understanding of the career path of a data analyst.
Natalia told me that she is most interested in seeing sessions on Big Data and learning how behavioral analysis can help create a better customer experience and a better business strategy. If you see Natalia in Toronto, say hello!
Michelle Gosselin has spent the last year as an independent business intelligence consultant specializing in mobile analytics – and working exclusively for the newspaper La Presse. This is after she spend almost six years at Mediagrif as a Senior Business Analyst and Web Analytics Specialist.
Like most people, Michelle is looking forward to the eMetrics Summit where she can learn, make connections and come back with new ideas she can apply directly to her daily tactics and help her ensure her overall strategy is on the mark.
When I asked Michelle what interested her most on the eMetrics Summit agenda, she said she made note of the Privacy, Cookies and Analytics: A Hot Mess You Can't Ignore session, especially since privacy is being impacted by (another session that got her attention) Big Data: What It Means for the Future of the Digital Analyst. Since she has a Master's in Business Intelligence, a certificate in Web Analytics from UBC and has worked in both fields, she is always looking for ideas about how all of the above merge in the world of mobile.
Michelle is also interested in the session called, Analytics in Real Life which is described as, "Successfully bringing analytics programs to life involves much more than just buying and implementing tools."
If you want to know more about the intricate workings of publishing on mobile, be sure to stop Michelle in the hallway and pepper her with questions.
It is with regret that I have been unable to connect with our third winning. Hank – or Henk – who won at the eMetrics / SIP event in Toronto… email me (firstname.lastname@example.com) call me (805-965-3184 x4) or tweet me (@jimsterne) so I can make sure you get yours!!
I was grateful for the warmer weather in San Diego this week made possible by Tealium at their user group meeting and look forward to the not as warm as Southern California but definitely not as cold as Eastern Canada nextweek when I head out to the Econsultancy JUMP event. Maybe I'll run into some of you there?
If not, be sure to mark your calendars for the eMetrics Summit in Toronto, and the eMetrics Summit in San Francisco. You never know whom you might meet!
I am on vacation and although I have my iPhone 5 with personal hotspot, my iPad, my iPod Touch and my ThinkPad, my wife has told me, under pain of death, I have limited access to email. For any important messages that need immediate action, please contact: ***@***.com Otherwise, when my wife is not looking, I will sneak a peek from time-to-time.
Happy holidays to all!
Names have been deleted to protect the guilty, but you know who you are… Mike.
Happy holidays to all, indeed!

Depart this morning after breakfast for Hwange, Zimbabwe's most famous National Park.
Home to countless elephant, numerous lion prides and rare antelope such as sable and roan, it offers excellent game spotting opportunities around the many waterholes found throughout the Park. Your stay includes two game drives daily with highly qualified rangers as well as bush walk options.
Somalisa Acacia Camp is situated on the eastern side of Hwange National Park. Somalisa Camp is an authentic bush camp which consists of just six elegant canvas tents each of which lies hidden amongst a grove of camelthorn acacias (Acacia erioloba).
Head out today with your expert guide for another game experience - this time by foot! Hwange is great for guided bush walks accompanied by qualified and professional guides. The park is littered with colours from all its seasonal wild flowers that emerge as the first rains begin, and as the grass dries out, the large herds of buffalo, zebra and elephant are in abundance.
Once a royal hunting ground of the Zulu warrior King Mzilikazi, the park was proclaimed in 1929. Hwange boasts a tremendous selection of wildlife with over 100 species of mammals, 400 species of birds, 100 species of trees and shrubs.
This morning you'll fly to Mana Pools via Bumi Hills. Flight departs at 09:05 arriving at 11:55. Luggage is restricted to 20kg per person.
Game drives generally head out in the early morning and late afternoon when temperatures are cooler. Mana Pools is renowned for large numbers of elephant, buffalo, hippo and eland, especially in the winter when they concentrate along the river. Predators such as lion, leopard and wild dog are all found in the area. Birdlife is superb, particularly for both mopane woodland and riverine species with numerous local specials like Collared Palm-Thrush, Racket-tailed Roller, Purple-banded Sunbird and Black-throated Wattle-Eyes.
Situated on the western boundary of Mana Pools National Park, Ruckomechi Camp is a naturalist's paradise. The mystical Zambezi River forms the northern border of the area with a wide variety of habitats evident - open floodplains, mopane woodland and riverine forest with the mountains of the Rift Valley escarpment forming the backdrop in neighbouring Zambia.
Activities at Ruckomechi Camp include wildlife viewing in open 4x4 vehicles, on motorised pontoon boats, on foot and in canoes or simply rest at the camp. The camp vegetation is dominated by broad canopied albida trees, much loved by elephants for their rich nutritious pods; these animals often join visitors in camp for a light meal!
As you enjoy today's afternoon game drive and the day cools, you may just spot the ellusive leopard. This big cat is often one of people's top five sights on safari. You are most likely to see this animal either in the early morning or late afternoon. Ask your guide all your questions as you seek out game, then enjoy drinks back at the camp as the sun sets.
The mystical Zambezi River forms the northern border of Mana Pools. The river and natural forces have carved their way into the land, creating a wide variety of habitats - open floodplains, mopane woodland and riverine forest with the mountains of the Rift Valley escarpment. Head out into the waters today and view game from a whole other persective as you glide through the waters.
Mana means 'four' in Shona, which refers to the four large permanent pools formed by the middle Zambezi. These 2,500 square kilometres of river create islands, sandbanks and pools which are bordered by forests. One of the least developed National Parks in Southern Africa, Mana Pools has the country's biggest concentration of hippopotamuses and crocodiles and in dry season there is a large mammal populations of elephant and buffalo.
This morning you'll fly to Hwange via Bumi Hills. Flight departs at 12:15 arriving at 15:15. Luggage is restricted to 20kg per person.
A final game drive this morning before setting off for Bulawayo, Zimbabwe's second city.
On arrival, join a walking tour of the city, including a visit to the superb Railway museum and the National Art Gallery. Opened in 1972, the Museum displays a wealth of small exhibits and models as well as steam and diesel electric locomotives. The Museum is owned by the National Railways of Zimbabwe and is managed by the NRZ Historical Committee, made up of railwaymen from various departments.
Bulawayo Club is a century-old, grand building devoted to colonial endeavours, with photos and paintings of Cecil Rhodes throughout the property. The hotel is the place to stay in order to get a sense of how colonial Zim operated and is ideally located in the centre of Bulawayo. A very interesting property for history lovers and has been restored to near pristine conditions.
Set off after breakfast for the remarkable Matobo Hills National Park, where you will spend three days with your highly qualified guides.
Enjoy a morning walking safari with your expert guide. You could bump into warthog, zebra, klipspringer, kudu, impala, wildebeest, reedbuck, duiker, steenbok, hyrax and a vast variety of bird life. Watch out for the exclusive leopard, although he'll see you first!
Camp Amalinda is situated just outside Bulawayo, the second largest city in Zimbabwe. This exclusive safari lodge is tucked away in an ancient Bushman's shelter, in the Matobo Hills and is within the Matobo National Park. The granite domes and castle kopjes of the Matobo Hills, echo the essence of tranquility and the majesty of untamed Africa. Amalinda's charm will leave an indelible impression on even the most intrepid traveller.
Choose between a host of included activities, such as rhino tracking on foot, game drives in the Matobos National Park, walks to the numerous rock formations and remarkably well preserved San paintings, as well as sundowner options amongst the boulders. A highlight will be a walk the grave of Cecil John Rhodes, the founder of Rhodesia and an important colonial figure regionally. His grave site boasts some of the finest views in this National Park.
Take a tour to an African homestead and get down to earth with the local Matabele people. Enjoy their gracious hospitality as they show you around their "pole and dagga" huts. Then move on to the rural clinic and come face to face with a Traditional Healer. With the offer of a few Zim dollars, she may even heal your ailment. The primary school which we move on to next will bring you to understand that no matter what adversity children face, one of their basic wants is to learn.
Transfer between your lodge in Matobo National Park and Bulawayo airport.

UNEP-WCMC has been providing technical support to the work of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) on biodiversity and climate change. We carried out three reviews of the recent scientific literature and these fed into the deliberations of the CBD's Second Ad Hoc Technical Expert Group (AHTEG) on Biodiversity and Climate Change. These reviews, entitled Links between Biodiversity and Climate change: Impacts, Adaptation and Mitigation, have now been published as no 42 of the CBD Technical Series. This publication complements the main report from the CBD AHTEG which appears as CBD Technical Series No. 41 Connecting Biodiversity and Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation.
Resource Type: ReportsThis JNCC-commissioned report highlights biodiversity impacts of indirect land use change caused by biofuel production. Increased demand for biofuels to achieve renewable energy targets is putting pressure on biodiversity worldwide. The research highlights a new and so far little understood threat: the impact of indirect land use change on biodiversity.
Resource Type: Tools / ApplicationsThe report, the fifth in UNEP's 'rapid response assessment' series, looks beyond forests and the REDD debates to the potential of natural and agricultural ecosystems to capture and store carbon. It examines the potential for gaining multiple benefits for livelihoods and ecosystem services through managing ecosystem carbon and considers the implications for policy.
Resource Type: ReportsThis document provides a basis for estimating the probable impacts of different forest cover creation approaches on the ecosystem-derived benefits of biodiversity, water provision, soil conservation and non-timber forest products.
Resource Type: ReportsHow do bioenergy policies relate to the REDD+ mechanism, is the subject of this new Bioenergy Issue Paper jointly authored by UNEP and UNEP-WCMC.
The potential contribution of bioenergy in reducing global emissions of greenhouse gases has been widely debated, both in terms of climate change mitigation potential and potential risk of increases in greenhouse gas emissions resulting from land use change. This has raised the question of how bioenergy policies relate to the REDD+ mechanism developed under the UNFCCC. This issue paper examines the complexity of this relationship and stresses the importance of ensuring policy coherence across the relevant sectors.
For a look at the UNEP Issue Paper Series, please visit:
This summary report aims to provide the European Commission with an overview of the likely impact of climate change on biodiversity in the European Union and indications as to how the design and implementation of current policy might need to be adapted in order to ensure that the EU respects its commitment to reduce biodiversity loss by 2010 and beyond.
Resource Type: ReportsBased on input from more than 100 experts, this book aims to provide the most detailed assessment ever of the worldwide distribution and conservation status of national parks and reserves. It examines the relationship between people and protected areas, investigates threats and opportunities, cites the history of protected areas, provides expert conservation advice and celebrates the success of protected areas around the world. Edited by Stuart Chape, Mark Spalding and Martin Jenkins, with foreword by Achim Steiner and Julia Marton-Lefèvre.

Tours in Perrysburg
Recommended Tours by Groupon Customers
Since May 2008, Wheelhouse Detroit has been offering its customers a healthy and highly efficient new way to see Motown, with guided bike tours traversing the terrains and trails of Detroit. More than 80 bicycle tours are scheduled for the upcoming months, with new tours regularly added. On the Belle Isle tour on Saturday, May 21, pedaling explorers will cruise around Detroit's famed architectural archipelago, surveying sights such as the aquarium and Livingstone Memorial Lighthouse. Guides will discuss the history behind the area's famous statues, such as Alpheus Starkey Williams, who served as a Union general in the Civil War before tragically being turned to stone.
The year was 1975, and Wayne State University's David Mackenzie House was facing imminent destruction to make way for a new sewer line. Two university students rallied their peers to halt the demolition, simultaneously planting the seed that bloomed, like a flower bulb planted in radioactive dirt, into Preservation Detroit. Over the past three decades, the architectural preservation organization has become a leading advocate for the protection and rehabilitation of Detroit's historic abodes, skyscrapers, and culturally rich sites. Preservation Detroit's staff, composed primarily of volunteers, continues to nurture their community's passion for historical treasures through lectures, seasonal newsletters, and tours.
From May to September, tour guides usher pedestrians through the bustling streets of Detroit, weaving narrative tapestries about the century-old cultural center and, on the Auto Heritage tour, Henry Ford's flagship factory, birthplace of the Model T and the concept that assembly lines are useful for more than just completing the Sunday crossword. During a special yearly boat tour, guides unravel the Detroit River's seedy past as a conduit for Prohibition-era bootlegging while passengers dig into dinner.
The sage-like city prowlers of Inside Detroit lead groups of tourists and natives through Detroit's history-rich hubs, charming watering holes, and evolving cultural centers. Walking tours bring urban nomads through the major landmarks of Detroit's downtown, such as the underground railroad's Second Baptist Church and the 40-story Guardian Building, an Aztec-inspired architectural masterpiece built during the 1920s, when it was thought to guard the city from hay fever.
SemSeg's Segway experts equip urban explorers to cruise through Detroit at up to 12.5 miles per hour during self-guided tours. A brief orientation covers proper techniques for turning, stopping, and impromptu jousting. Then, motorists hop aboard scooters and travel up to 24 miles on a single charge. The long battery life allows motorists to cruise down the Riverfront, circle 14-acre Hart Plaza, and crisscross the Rivard Plaza in a single trip. Though SemSeg encourages DIY tours, their guides lead weekend tours through downtown and down the Riverwalk.
Droves of Segways meander past historic homes, factories, and miles of parks during Seg Adventures's Plymouth Area tours. On the list of sites to see is the Wilcox House, whose scandalous history is revealed during guided tours. Segway riders can free roam as well, exploring the city's attractions, markets, and public restrooms with a self-guided tour that lasts up to 90 minutes. Free roam sites include the Daisy Air Rifle–headquarters or the Alter Motor Car–factory.

Hello all,
I have a hearing deficit in my left ear that I've had since birth, and hear mostly out of my right ear. Unfortunately, my right ear has been plugging up lately, interspersed with a most annoying itch. It's like whenever the plug clears up, the itch starts in. Often the plug takes some while to clear. I've tried heat, those Debrox drops for wax, and, at the advice of a local friend, sambuca(SP). I'd appreciate any ideas on solutions people have found that resolve, especially, the plug issue as I really need to be able to hear to work with my clients.

Ministers undeterred by HS2 setback (From Ludlow Advertiser)

Ministers undeterred by HS2 setback
11:06am Friday 15th March 2013 in National News © Press Association 2013
The Government's HS2 high-speed rail scheme suffered a setback when the High Court ruled that the consultation process for compensating those affected by the multibillion-pound project "was so unfair as to be unlawful".
But the Government immediately announced that "a re-run property compensation consultation will not affect the HS2 construction timetable in any way".
The decision on compensation at London's High Court by Mr Justice Ouseley was a victory for the High Speed 2 Action Alliance (HS2AA), consisting of more than 70 affiliated action groups and residents' associations.
The HS2AA case on consultation was one of five separate cases brought to block the controversial scheme in its current form. It was the only one to succeed.
The Government greeted the overall outcome of the crucial legal battle as a victory and said: "Work on a new high-speed railway from London to Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds can continue."
The first phase of HS2 would see a high-speed line running through Tory heartlands from London to Birmingham. A second phase extends the line to Leeds and Manchester to create what will become known as "the Y network". The project is designed to cut journey times, ease overcrowding and boost regional business.
The Government hailed the court's dismissal of four of the five cases against it as a "landmark victory".
Rail Minister Simon Burns said: "This is a major landmark victory for HS2 and the future of Britain. The judge has categorically given the green light for the Government to press ahead without delay in building a high-speed railway from London to Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds.
""HS2 is the most significant infrastructure investment the UK has seen in modern times and a project the country cannot afford to do without. The judgment ensures that nothing now stands in the way of taking our plans to Parliament.
"We will now move forward as planned with the crucial business of getting the scheme ready for construction in 2017 and delivering enormous benefits for the country. We have listened to the judge's comments about the property compensation consultation and, to save time and public money, we will re-consult on this aspect - but this will not delay HS2. We remain fully committed to fairly compensating the public who are impacted by the scheme."

Dockett on faith in Whisenhunt: 'No comment'
Originally published: Dec 10, 2012 - 1:06 pm
Speculation is running wild on a couple of fronts. First, whether or not the Cardinals quit on head coach Ken Whisenhunt, who's coaching seat got noticeably hotter following the loss.
"I can't comment on that, I have no comment," defensive tackle Darnell Dockett said Monday when asked about whether the confidence in Whisenhunt has faded in recent weeks .
Dockett was fined a hefty amount by the Cardinals organization last week for his part in an on-field disagreement with teammate Kerry Rhodes over a directive from the coaching staff to let the New York Jets score in the latter stages of the game. Dockett disagreed with the instructions, but it was for naught because Jets running back Shonn Greene fell down on his own short of the goal line, killing the clock in an ugly 7-6 win.
Dockett also started the game on the bench as a result, and played in only 55% of the snaps on defense.
Following the discipline, Dockett was asked if he's still happy wearing Cardinal red.
"I don't know, I don't know," he responded. "I'm a hell of a competitor, I love what I do, I take what I do serious and I hold a lot of guys accountable and whatever situation comes my way, I'll be prepared for it."
There were many who witnessed the game Sunday that believe the Arizona Cardinals quit as a football team. That group includes Larry Fitzgerald's father, who made the proclamation on Twitter at halftime of the blowout loss.
"That's his opinion, I can't speak for no one else, I only can speak for Darnell Dockett," he said. "I can only say I didn't quit, and that's the best way I can put it."

Yes we can. What kind of help you need? We are doing outsourcing and technical support for Linux and Open source worldwide. To know more about the details visit here.
After install as above, run shell script /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/wfica.sh manually and note lib errors still occur. I had the x64 motif loaded but had to manually install the x86 too. Got that from http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libXm.so.4 Even after that, I still had to do a "yum install alsa-lib.i686 alsa-lib.x86_64″ to resolve any additional libasound.so.2 errors. Once those two lib issues were resolved, Citix Web Interface launched apps fine by telling browser to open launch.ica using /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/wfica.sh. Good luck Ernesto!
