Creating Success For Your Android Device (a.k.a lessons learned from the iPhone 4)
The avalanche of customer issues following the launch of Apple's latest iPhone device illustrates a lesson that is not only eternally true for any consumer electronics device, but especially impactful for a highly subsidized mobile phone. The lesson is simple – test your device and software thoroughly or pay a high price. A high price in RMA costs, brand value, customer switching costs, emergency engineering expense as well as a surge in costs for customer relationship management.

I bet you weren't expecting a blog post from me today, huh?
On Friday, January 8th, I decided to take a social media detox. That day after work, my mental headspace was exhausted. I was working out at my apartment building's gym when I suddenly needed to meditate. I literally stopped mid-lat pull-down & closed my eyes. I desperately tried to clear my mind & block out all of the negative emotions being thrown my way while listening to lo-fi music.
About 10 minutes later, I felt more at ease again. I then decided to delete all of my social media apps off of my phone, & I vowed to detox through the end of the weekend, which I extended through yesterday. I literally wrote this blog with a rose gold, polka dot, faux diamond pen, in a floral print notebook to be typed up at a later date.
Since starting my new Divination community, xodenisejoyce, my emotions have become so overwhelming. I decided that I needed to disconnect, relax, spend more time outdoors in nature, & take better care of myself both mentally & physically. Social media is already exhausting at times, but having to manage social media channels from nine to six, Monday through Friday in addition to the social media channels for my side endeavors is even more overwhelming. Especially with my collective now sending their energy my way, I needed to better control which emotions were mine & which ones were not.
The last time I had a true, peaceful, time away from screens was last September. Instead of being attached to my phone for the majority of the weekend, I decided to turn off my phone two evenings in a row & found my peace staring at the flames of a blazing campfire, eating perfectly toasted s'mores, surrounded by trees.
Whatever you need to do when you're feeling overwhelmed or exhausted, do it! Self-care is so important, especially with the state of the world still in a global pandemic. Personally, I take a bubble bath with Epsom salts surrounded by candles. I also love doing a face mask, eating Ferrero Rocher chocolates, & drinking brut rosé. Today, I even went to the beach & watched the sunset over the ocean.
While I still want to be there for my collective, my mental health will always be my #1 priority. With all the progress I made during the first week of the new year with xodenisejoyce, I took my sudden exhaustion as a sign from above that I needed to slow down & take better care of myself, so I don't burnout.
Hopefully, this is a helpful reminder to any of you who are struggling with self-care in your own life. Even if you need to push aside someone or something else that you love, you deserve to pause & take time for yourself, every now & then too.
XO Denise

Digestion & Nutrition – is there a link?
Everyone has heard the various bits of folk wisdom relating to diet & well-being –
"you are what you eat"
"its hard to have sweet thoughts with a sour stomach"
There is more than a little bit of truth in these statements!
The gastrointestinal tract plays a large role in health and wellness because it is one of the main areas that our body communicates so closely with the external environment. Some scientists even say that the digestive tract is actually outside of the body.
Substances don't get "into" the body until they have crossed the intestinal lining or the various surfaces for absorption into the bloodstream. This absorptive surface is where the body differentiates between what it wants to keep, absorb and take into circulation and what must be kept out and excreted.
A large percentage of the immune cells of the body are located in the GI tract to insure this runs smoothly. In order to do this the body has developed a "second" brain or the enteric nervous system as it is called. This nervous system has more neurons than the spinal column – all of it devoted to delivering to your system everything it needs.
When this system is working properly the individual will have an abundance of energy and good health. When this goes off the rails it can cause widespread havoc throughout the entire system. The inability of the body to properly breakdown and handle gluten is a perfect example of this. Some researchers are saying that the body's inability to handle this one protein can surface as one of a hundred different symptoms. It is comparable to a bicycle wheel where one spoke has been broken. When this happens the rest of the spokes need to pick up the load left behind by this. Before long the next spoke breaks and then the next – each time the remaining spokes need to bear more of the burden. Before long the wheel can no longer function as it was designed to function.
This is similar to the cascade that takes place when the brain is not in control of every cell and every process that is taking place in the GI tract. It can start with the brain not being in control of one process and before long this will burden the other systems of the body trying to regain control over this.
At the Neurolink Clinic when we look at a patients digestive issues, we're trying to find out what the brain knows about what is happening in the digestive system and to get the brain to resume optimum control of this process. Often when a person has found his way to the Neurolink Clinic the effects of this sometimes long-standing issue can be apparent in the form of inflammation in the GI tract.
Aside from treatment at the Neurolink Clinic, nutrition and life-style changes should be incorporated into your daily regime during the course of treatment.
Instead of refraining from eating any known foods that cause digestive issues there are other steps that need to be taken to handle or support and/or re-establish a healthy balance of microflora. This can include use of a probiotic and prebiotics – or food that promotes the growth of healthy gut flora. Until the recent onslaught of television commercials few people were aware that they have approximately 4 pounds of bacteria in the gut. 85% of these bacteria are necessary and work together with your system to promote a healthy immune system. 15% are opportunistic and sometimes get the "upper hand" resulting in various problems such as bloating etc.
Nutrition can further help support the repair of the mucosal line of the GI tract.

Question: what is the standard angle, to be specific, on a drill point?
Answer: okay, for the general purpose, 58 degrees or 118 degrees included angle is the best. There may be a variation, but it should be uniform in both lips to ensure consistency.
Question: can you sharpen titanium drill bits
Answer: now, titanium is a coating, and you need to understand that you won't retain it after sharpening. However, the titanium coating is harder than cobalt. And, both of these materials are more valuable than HSS drill bits.
Question: is it important to clean the machine after you finish the sharpening activity
Answer: oh yeah, it is very important since it prolongs the lifespan of the bit sharpener device. Also, you should avoid leaving the machine exposed to outdoor elements. Also, it is proper if you use a vacuum machine to ensure all the dust from the inner parts of the sharpener is removed.
Question: why is there a burning or electrical smell once you turn the device on?
Answer: This is quite normal though the smell is not supposed to persist. You know the device used magnet DC motors, and carbon brush is a component of these devices.

Steroids can modulate γ-aminobutyric acid (GABAA) receptor function in rat brains, but the physiological relevance of this mechanism is still unclear. To determine whether this phenomenon is widespread among vertebrates, we investigated steroid modulation of GABAA receptors in amphibian brain tissue. Equilibrium binding parameters for t-butylbicyclophosphorothionate ([35S]TBPS) and [3H]flunitrazepam were similar in Tricha glanulosa and mammalian brains, as was the allosteric regulation of [35S]TBPS and [3H]flunitrazepam binding in GABA. The rank order and absolute potencies of steroids to inhibit [35S]TBPS binding and enhance [3H]flunitrazepam binding were also similar in Taricha and rat brains. As in mammalian studies, physiological concentrations of corticosterone had no effect on ligand binding of GABA-stimulated Cl- uptake. In autoradiogrphic studies, 3α-hydroxy-5α-pregnan-20-one inhibited [35S]TBPS binding sites in all brain regions examined, whereas corticosterone had no effect on [35S]TBPS binding. These studies suggest that the steroid recognition sites on GABAA receptors bave been highly conserved through vertebrate evolution and thus portend physiologically important functions. However, the pharmacological profiles for the GABAA receptor and high-affinity coritcosteroid receptor are apparently different, suggesting there are multiple types of steroid recognition sites on neuronal membranes.

With theme parks dating back a century, acres of green space to run wild in, wacky museums and a host of child-friendly eateries, Denmark's capital is the ideal destination for a family holiday. Make your way around the Danish capital with ease, thanks to the several transportation options near the Radisson Blu Scandinavia Hotel Copenhagen. Our Christianshavn hotel is just a few minutes away from popular spots like the Strøget pedestrian area and Nyhavn waterfront. Starting out on the famous shopping hub Strøget, this guide has everything you need to plan a great day out with the kids.
Weird and wonderful morning strolls
Starting out early is the easiest way to avoid the crowds along Copenhagen's thriving shopping street, Strøget. Set those alarm clocks for as reasonable an hour as you can negotiate, then head out for the day. Stretching over a kilometre from City Hall Square, this wide avenue is fully pedestrianised and houses every brand from Prada to H&M. If those don't sound too child-friendly, there's a flagship store that they might be slightly more interested in: LEGO. You'll find themed kits along with bricks in just about every colour imaginable, although none have yet been invented that are less painful to accidentally step on in bare feet.
Psst! Did you know that some of our Radisson Blu hotels have been featured in LEGO sets?
The next stop on your tour should be The Guinness World Record Museum, which showcases world record holders that range from the awe-inspiring to the downright bizarre. Ever wanted to learn about the world's tallest man or see the world's longest moustache? Now you can.
Midday ceremonies
Try to leave the museum by 11:30am in order to arrive at Amalienborg Palace well before the Changing of the Guard, which happens promptly at 12pm every day. Just 15 minutes early should be enough to make sure you're standing somewhere that gives the little ones an unobstructed view of the Royal Guards marching in procession to complete an elaborate changeover outside the opulent Rococo palace.
Late lunch and an afternoon in the park
If certain stomachs have started rumbling, it's time to head to one of Copenhagen's main attractions. The world-famous Tivoli Park is packed with attractions like Rutschebanen, a rollercoaster which was revamped in 2014 to celebrate its 100th birthday, and a huge artificial waterfall. Fill up on traditional Danish food at Brdr. Price – priding itself on making food "just like Grandma used to". The apple desserts here will win over even the fussiest eaters.
Once everyone has a full belly, you can spend the rest of your afternoon watching a free pantomime concert, crashing the bumper cars or taking on the wildest rides. Note that if you're visiting Tivoli from October 12th to November 4th, you'll be able to enjoy the park decorated for Halloween. Check out the special events and kid-friendly Halloween programme.
Evening stargazing

Nightmare on Wall Street ends as Nasdaq surges
Tech investors are treated to across-the-board gains as news of positive earnings and a large contract for IBM help return some optimism to the recently tricky sector.
The Nasdaq composite index surged 178.15, or about 6 percent, to 3,369.55, and the Standard & Poor's 500 index climbed 30.74, or 2 percent, to 1,429.40.
The Dow Jones industrial average closed up 135.37 at 10,971.14, led by IBM, which gained $5.19 to $98.50.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq resurrected itself after a ghoulish performance yesterday when it fell nearly 3 percent, while the Dow has risen nearly 6 percent during the last four sessions. "We have a little bit of a bipolar disorder going on" in the markets, said Jeff Logsdon, a vice president and market analyst at Gerard Klauer Mattison.
Logsdon noted that the markets seemingly operate in two gears: fifth or reverse.
The volatility has also made some investors cautious about venturing back to the market. "The wild swings of the last few months have made people hesitant to buy stocks at a breech" in the markets, said Logsdon.
Among the events propelling tech shares, IBM Japan on Tuesday won a contract worth an estimated $15 billion to provide computer services to Japanese telecom giant NTT.
"The best thing they could do with the money is to buy back their stock, and there's some real value there," said Todd Clark, head of listed trading at WR Hambrecht.
Under the 10-year agreement, Big Blue's Japanese unit will provide the NTT Group with computer services, including the installation and maintenance of IBM hardware, software and services. In turn, NTT Comware, a subsidiary of NTT, will provide IBM with access to its technical employees to work on other IBM projects in Japan.
After sliding yesterday, Cisco Systems rose $5.81, or 12 percent, to $53.88 on a volume of 87.4 million shares, making it the most active stock on the Nasdaq.
Other networking stocks followed Cisco's lead. JDS Uniphase climbed $10.13, or 14 percent, to $81.44; Nortel Networks rose $5.50, or about 14 percent, to $45.50; Ciena gained $14.44, or almost 16 percent, to $105.13; and Sycamore Networks advanced $7.13, or nearly 13 percent, to $63.25.
The CNET tech index climbed 132.62 to 2,698.26. Advancers buried decliners, with 84 of the 96 stocks in the index rising, 10 falling and two remaining unchanged.
Some less-than-favorable economic news failed to scare off investors. The New York-based Conference Board said its Consumer Confidence index fell to 135.2 in October, a steep drop from the revised 142.5 reported in September and the record high of 144.7 registered in May and January.
The decline is a potentially worrisome sign for the approaching holiday retail season.
The Conference Board index, based on a monthly survey of some 5,000 U.S. households, is closely watched because consumer spending makes up about two-thirds of the nation's economic activity. The index compares results with its base year, 1985, when it stood at 100.
Nearly all of the 18 sectors tracked by CNET Investor posted gains. Providers of services to Internet companies blazed the way higher, rising nearly 10 percent, followed by wireless companies, which gained 9 percent. Makers of peripherals for computers were the only losers, falling about 2 percent.
In the Internet services sector, Exodus Communications gained $7.31, or about 28 percent, to $33.56; Ariba climbed $14.19, or 13 percent, to $126.38; and Commerce One rose $7.31, or 13 percent, to $64.19.
Expedia stock surged up $3.75, or 41 percent, to $12.81. Yesterday the online travel company shocked Wall Street with a narrower-than-expected quarterly loss.
The Bellevue, Wash.-based Microsoft spinoff announced Monday that it lost 4 cents per share, excluding charges, in the fiscal first quarter ended Sept. 30. Analysts polled by First Call/Thomson Financial expected Expedia to lose 26 cents per share.
Harmonic rose $4.50, or 45 percent, to $14.50, making it the largest percentage gainer on the Nasdaq. The maker of fiber-optics equipment said AT&T's broadband unit will use Harmonic's optical nodes and transmission platforms in cable upgrades.
Other stocks in the tech sector were not as fortunate. Shares of chip designer Rambus fell $8.50, or nearly 16 percent, to $44.94.
Mountain View, Calif.-based Rambus designs high-speed memory for computers. A little more than a year ago, many believed that memory based around the company's technology would be found in the majority of higher-end desktop computers. But that prospect has been tarnished recently.
The chip sector carried on despite Rambus' woes. The Philadelphia semiconductor index rose 38.80, or about 6 percent, to 741.83 led by Lattice Semiconductor, which gained $3.56, or nearly 14 percent, to $29.19. Advanced Micro Devices also rose $2.38, or nearly 12 percent, to $22.63.

A survey of over 500 residential landlords by Endsleigh Insurance reports that landlords are overwhelmingly satisfied with the service they receive from their letting agent and find them an invaluable resource. Some 92% of landlords reported a positive experience with their letting agent.
The market for lettings is of course buoyant at the moment and agents must be vigilant not to allow standards to slip. Whilst there are many prospective tenants for each property it is usually quality that is the issue, not quantity. The survey reported that whilst speed of finding a tenant was important, the vast majority (93%) of landlords said that one of their main priorities is ensuring that the tenant is reliable. This usually means someone who will look after the property and pay their rent on time.
The survey confirms the importance landlords place on agents going that extra mile to service clients by finding good-quality tenants and filling properties quickly, while providing a consummately professional and personal offering.
This is nothing new to Oakfield of course as even when properties were harder to let, we were always fastidious about ensuring that tenants were well-referenced. We check tenants' employment status and seek out previous landlord references and always credit check and reference any guarantors as well as the tenants themselves. At Oakfield we pride ourselves on the quality of our tenants with whom we generally enjoy an excellent relationship on behalf of our landlord clients.

Two main contracts gained in 2011, one for the design and development of a car which could be driven with the doors open in the owner's home country Vietnam, the other for the design and development of an active aerodynamic component for the Porsche 918 Spyder, meant that the company began its era of expansion.
The manufacture of the Porsche 918 Spyder component meant that the company had to relocate to new premises to accommodate the assembly line. We also refocused our attention to concentrate on our expertise – the design, development and manufacture of door systems, including window regulators, glazing and electrochromatic glass and active aerodynamic components. Prudent marketing proved fruitful as new clients became aware and began to enquire about our services.
With the expansion of the team to support the growing business, the company is firing on all cylinders.
During the pandemic we were working hard to achieve IATF 16949. We are now proud to announce that we are the holders of IATF 16949 registration since July 2022.

Do Prenatal Vitamins Make You Sick? Here's an Alternative to Ask Your Doctor About! by Christy Garrett

Do your prenatal vitamins leave you feeling nauseous? Talk to your healthcare provider and determine if you can take alternative vitamins.
- Gummy prenatal vitamins are a great choice. They don't contain any iron, but they do contain other nutrients that expectant moms need for a healthy baby. If you are anemic, you'll have to find an alternative iron supplement.
- Another option is to take a children's chewable multivitamin.
I took the gummies while pregnant because the prenatal vitamins left me feeling sick to my stomach. Be sure to ask your healthcare provider about your specific concerns.

Mixed Match – The Final Stretch
Mixed Match – The Final Stretch
By Director Jeff Chiba Stearns
For the last six years, I've been working on Mixed Match. It's definitely been a marathon. The idea for the film was presented to me back in the summer of 2010 by Mixed Marrow founder, Athena Asklipiadis. Her and I met up at the San Diego Asian Film Festival where I was screening my first feature documentary, One Big Hapa Family. We talked about the work she does raising awareness to find bone marrow donors for mixed-race patients and how difficult it can be for many of these patients. I actually found the work she does so inspiring that she made me cry. So of course I knew this would be the topic of my next documentary.
From there it's been a six-year journey to finish this film. We've logged many miles across North America filming with various patients and capturing their stories. We've also interviewed some of the top scientists and doctors in the field of stem cell transplantation. It's definitely been an amazing experience and now I truly feel like an expert on this topic.
So here I am, after almost an entire year spent sifting through the 200 hours of footage I've finally locked the edit for the feature length version of Mixed Match. I'm really happy with how the film came together and the stories were able to tell. I'm also excited to have a platform to share the stories that couldn't make it in the film on the Mixed Match Project website. This month we move into postproduction on the sound and picture for Mixed Match. There's light at the end of the tunnel!
It's definitely an exciting time and we look foreword to screening the film in the next few months to audiences across North America!

These FREE jungle animals printable stick puppets are really simple for little ones to make. Just print onto card, colour, cut out and stick onto a craft stick! There are six animals included in this set: tiger, parrot, elephant, snake, crocodile and monkey.
Use them to teach vocabulary, act out simple dialogues or plays, or as an easy arts and crafts activity!
We have lots of other fun JUNGLE ANIMALS resources – see the end of the post for more.
How you can use the jungle animals printable stick puppets in class:
- You can use the stick puppets instead of flashcards to teach children the names of the animals. Prepare a set of stick puppets before class. Depending on the age and level of your students you may want to use all of the animals, or choose to use less. For durability you may also like to laminate them (tip: for the craft stick to adhere better to a laminated surface, stick a strip of double sided sticky tape to the laminated card before applying glue)
- Show the children the stick puppets one by one. Teach them the name of each animal and ask them to make the sound each one makes.
- Have children make their own puppets. They can make all six animals (print page 2 of the download), or choose to make only one. I have also included pages with multiple copies of each animal, so if you want all your kids to make tigers, for example, you need only print that page.
- Play a simple game: make sure each child has a stick puppet, then say the name of an animal, for example "Monkey!" Encourage the child or children with the monkey to move the puppet up and down and make the noise "Oo-oo-oo!" Repeat with the other animals.
- Encourage children to make their animal puppets "talk" to each other. One idea is to sit in a circle with the children and use the monkey stick puppet to say, for example, "Hallo, Elephant!" to the puppet of the child sitting next to you. That child makes his or her puppet reply "Hallo, Monkey!" to your puppet. They then turn to the child next to them and do the same, all around the circle. You can make the language/dialogues as simple or as complicated as you like, depending on the age and level of your kids. For example "Hallo, Elephant, how are you?" "I'm fine, thanks, Monkey!" or "Hallo, Elephant! Do you like bananas?" "Yes, I do!"
If you have a problem with your download, please read our FAQ. If the problem continues, contact us at [email protected] so we can fix it!

Long, but good. Window seat. Two Danes
about my age sitting next to me. I thought they were German.
They spooke good English (good English, is that proper?),
as most Danes (besides bus drivers) seem to. I learned later
from Chris that Danes begin learning English when they're
9, and German when they're 10. It must be very handy to be
Good food. Dinner: Lemon chicken, potatoes,
something else. Drank wine. Couldn't fall asleep, but had
strange lucid dreams with sleep mask on. Ate breakfast at
7:30 AM (1:30 AM EST). Fruit, muffin, OJ. Also good.

5 = Try it
10 = Buy it Reihan the Politics-and-Economics Journalist
When he was 12, his sister gave him They Might Be Giants' debut album, and from then on he deferred to her taste: the Smiths, the Sugarcubes, Portishead. Favorite albums of the year so far are Yeasayer's Odd Blood and the Das Racist mix tape Shut Up, Dude.
Julia the Yoga-Studio Manager
Says the best show she ever saw was Broken Social Scene at the Mercury Lounge in 2008, with Bon Iver as a close second ("I get goose bumps to this day thinking about it"). Is currently crushed out on Beach House's Teen Dream. James the Performance Artist
Grew up listening to Love, Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, and the Kinks, then switched to jazz and punk. Just saw Echo & the Bunnymen at the Fillmore (and once toured with the guitarist). Doesn't own an iPod.
Band of HorsesInfinite ArmsThe third album (and major-label debut) from this South Carolina–via–Seattle indie-rock band. Critics love their dulcet alt-country harmonies, fans love their rockin' beards. This record left me sleepy and disappointed. I was massively into their first album, Everything All the Time, but I worry that they've been overtaken by various twangy clones and epigones. I can imagine these songs being played in high-end retail stores, or while preparing and eating steamed vegetables. Bland but healthy. Rating: 5Best track:
"Factory" Okay, so Infinite Arms is not Everything All the Time. It's not Cease to Begin. It stumbles, it takes more than a few songs for the record to pick up momentum and find its groove, but it's still gosh-darn good. At times you feel them trying to be something else, something they aren't, but the middle of the album is Band of Horses at their best, beautiful and sweet and fun and sentimental. Rating: 8Best track:
"Evening Kitchen" Band of Horses is commercial schlock. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone except an ad-executive friend who needed innocuous background music for a pitch. On this new album, there's one decent song that sounds like R.E.M., but I don't really want to listen to R.E.M. either. I put it on while cooking dinner, and if I wasn't consciously paying attention, it disappeared, like sonic perfume. Rating: 4Best track:
"Infinite Arms"
HoleNobody's Daughter Courtney Love channeled twelve years of professional disasters, epic legal trouble, self-loathing, sexual catastrophe, addiction, mother-daughter drama, and peroxide rage into the first new Hole album in over a decade. To my great surprise, I liked this album a lot. It's dark but not somber—I wouldn't say positive but pleasantly sludgy. And I love Courtney Love's voice, which invoked memories of, well, Courtney Love, but also Billy Corgan, appealingly dissolute and sleazy. Although "Skinny Little Bitch" was a little like catching your friend's mother scratching her privates: embarrassing for both parties. Rating: 7Best track:
"Nobody's Daughter" I don't know who should be more ashamed—Courtney Love for making this or me for finding parts of it catchy. You can bite every hand that feeds you, suffer the suicide of your husband, totally fuck up raising your kid, come out of rehab, and put out a heavily produced pop-rock record that sounds kind of like 1994 … but why? The girl I was in the early nineties needs to stay there, and so does Courtney. Rating: 3Best track:
"Honey" I want artistry and real emotion from my music, and this is a product. Courtney has apparently gotten clean and wants us all to know how hard that's been for her. She's been such an annoying mess for so long I can't imagine why we should care. This record sounds just as good as the early Hole albums, I suppose, but does the world need another passable grunge album? Rating: 5Best track:
"Nobody's Daughter"
Court Yard HoundsCourt Yard HoundsThe first album from the alt-country duo formed by Martie Maguire and Emily Robison, also known as the Dixie Chicks. Oh, lord. This isn't my genre, and I found this album unlistenable. It sounds like it was made by a robot, and I say this as an enthusiastic Taylor Swift fan. Please, no more. No more. (Just so you know, this isn't anti-country prejudice: My college roommates took me to the woodshed for playing Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" 500 times in a row at high volume.)

"The Coast" I don't know how to be fair about this album. I didn't enjoy it. I mean, it's not Shania Twain–quality, it's not even Dixie Chicks–quality. I do fear that I wasted about an hour of my time listening to this.Rating: 2Best track:
"See You in the Spring" This is music for people who have given up or who never cared in the first place. If this record becomes a hit, I guess I should just move to Europe. Maybe I would recommend it to suburban Fort Worth housewives on anti-depressants.Rating: 2Best track:
(Grudgingly chosen) "Ain't No Son"
LCD SoundsystemThis Is HappeningThe third and allegedly final album by the band that kept New York rock from devolving into total garage-band clichédom this past decade. "Drunk Girls," the first single, is already in contention for song-of-the-summer status. This one's not quite as awe-inspiring as Sound of Silver, but LCD Soundsystem is just good, clean genre-bending fun. They occupy a Talking Heads–ish cultural space: accessible but smart. Anyone who played eight-bit video games will love it, and the kids will, too. People should listen to this while making out. I listened to it while dancing in my socks pre-bedtime, showering, and making a collage. Rating: 9Best track:
"Dance Yrself Clean" So much fun! It's dancey and catchy and quirky and sophisticated and clever. Listening to a song like "You Wanted a Hit," I was thinking, I can still be the over-30, often-too-serious nerd that I am and bop around to these tunes? Thank you, LCD Soundsystem, thank you.Rating: 9Best track:
"You Wanted a Hit" This band has potential—I really enjoyed listening to the album, several times. I played it while hanging out with my family, and everyone was dancing around the living room. But why are they pushing "Drunk Girls" as the single? Why do they push the crappy songs? Rating: 9Best track:
"One Touch" (With "Pow Pow" a close second)
The NationalHigh VioletThe fifth album by this Brooklyn indie band whose melancholy, cacophonous noise rock and eviscerating, insightful lyrics have made them cool with the hip kids and increasingly popular with everyone else. I picture married couples listening to this while refurbishing Victorian homes in Flatbush. It has an anthology-of-short-stories vibe, like a downbeat Hold Steady album. I worry about the lead singer, Matt Berninger. He sounds really glum—someone needs to give this guy a slice of pie à la mode. I feel as though I should've enjoyed it more than I did, so maybe there's some grade inflation here. Rating: 7Best track:
"Sorrow" The National has an unmistakable sound and musical experience and doesn't deviate—same distinct baritone voice, same building musical tension. I was afraid it would be safe and boring, but I was hooked immediately. High Violet is not a record I would have sought out, but I can see myself listening to it while sitting in a U-Haul, the sun warming my arm, moving to the other side of the country for love. Rating: 8Best track:
"England" The lead singer's got a great voice, and that grabbed me right away. But it's a downer, in a fake-angst kind of way. Maybe his parents gave him everything he ever wanted and now the world is letting him down because it won't do the same or maybe he just needs to change his meds. If this album becomes a big hit, it doesn't speak well for the mental health of America.Rating: 7Best track:

Brands – your ads are appearing on terror and porn sites right now!
When Marc Pritchard, chief brand officer of P&G says of its media supply chain that it is 'murky at best, fraudulent at worst' P&G's ad agencies have a crisis on your hands. When you discover that the scatter gun approach to programmatic media buying (media buying: the once fine art of placing a client's advert precisely where their consumer is) has been funding terrorism – you have a catastrophe. You pray no one notices, then the Times puts you on their front page.
Your Brand Here
Fairfax Cone of FCB, oft quoted as 'the father of modern advertising' nailed it on the head: "Advertising is what you do when you can't go see somebody" Easy.
From this, the fundamental components of the art of selling can be extrapolated 1) locate them 2) meet them 3) persuade them. The ad industry application is thus:
1) The planner identifies who the consumer is and what makes them tick.
2) The media buyer meets them through brilliant media targeting.
3) The creatives stop them in their tracks and serenade them wherever they are found.
As soon as you deviate from the fundamentals, strange anomalies begin to occur. Elderly Polish immigrant saleswomen end up standing on the doorsteps of white supremacist organisations trying to convince the racists to give money to help people like her. Western (infidel) bankers get caught trying to seduce radical Islamists into depositing their proceeds of state sponsored terrorism into their banks, holiday salesmen set up stalls outside ISIS headquarters trying to sell summer getaways to passers-by by handing out brochures full of desert scenes from ISIS videos, and decent, high street gadget shops try to convince kids to buy wireless headphones - mid wank.
Hyperbole right? Um, no actually. These are almost the exact scenarios that happened to Marie Curie, Halifax, Sandals holidays and Argos, and I feel for them. Their adverts were assuredly deposited by a big data machine that made a split second ebayesque autobid decision about an irresistible mega media deal with extra chips and bought a 1x4mm banner ad placement on content so beyond inappropriate it surpasses any brand embarrassment precedent to date.
And before you wave your hand and say that these are one-offs, that the 'machine' isn't perfect so there is bound to be the occasional 'misunderstanding' – understand this, at least 12% of ALL programmatic advertising placement is GUARANTEED to end up on an unsavoury site. I have been told the stat is higher – but 12% is more than enough cause for concern. Pay attention Pepsi, Burger King, McCain, Tui, Argos, Nike, Honda, M&S, Reuters, Halifax, Churchill, Waitrose, Adidas, Audi, HSBC, NatWest et al – your ads are likely appearing on a porn site right this second. And btw, you are not being told about it because the data is being deliberately held from you and worse still, you likely signed a contract that effectively means the man you bought the car off doesn't need to show you the log book.
The fact this even happens has likely come as a bit of a shock (deny everything) because surely no media company or ad agency would dare risk your precious contract by taking the risk of associating your brand with the scum of the earth, right?
We are in a gold rush, a $200bn a year gold rush that has, up 'til now, been protected by degrees of complexity that Mr Sub Prime himself would have been proud of.
Unless we get a grip, Gillette razors are soon to star alongside a decapitation story, Coca-Cola next to a Columbian drug bust, BMW next to the world's biggest motorway pile up and McDo's having a not entirely irrelevant placement on 'Gobble my fatty buns dot com'
Actually, the problem isn't so much the automation issue (it is at least possible to reduce the shock horror for both clients and their agencies as I will reveal in a sec) it's really the fact that the media buying/placement bit has been long detached from the planning/creative bit. We now live in an age where the salesman's pitch (creative) is engineered with almost no understanding of the shape and nature of the shop window or what 'street' it's in.
Worse still – the client's excitement for this new-fangled ad gadget called programmatic ("everyone else is using it so it must be good?") is such that that all important 'persuasion' piece is almost entirely overlooked; "spare me that planning, targeting, creative malarkey; make my logo 1000% smaller (compared to a decent poster) and Pollock it onto a billion little windows!!" (12 million of which are guaranteed to be on Ron Jeremy Street, Al-Shabaab Avenue, Combat 18 Boulevard and Savile Row).
In the glory days this type of scatter gun strategy was almost singularly the domain of direct mail, the door stop strategy that would sleep well on a less than 1% response, the irony being that the door drop learnings are now being relearnt by 21st Century digital direct mail (DDM). We know for a fact that 99% of all door drops would end up soiling the carpet of some utterly disinterested party or were, in certain instances, shocking to the recipient. One can't help but wonder how many businesses; unwittingly tried to convince alcoholics in remission to buy their cheap wine, or those with life threatening nut allergies to 'sample our new nut bar', or tried to persuade sex offenders to holiday in their family resort? Know your audience.
For the record - I suspect any programmatic seller would cream themselves at the prospect of a whole 1% hit rate because sadly, I suspect the DDM hit rate is considerably less because actual DM, for all its failures, at least delivered something physical you had to spend a few seconds with walking it to the bin, a much longer life span than a clicked banner…
So what's the solution? Well, given the world seemingly isn't in a hurry to revert back to tried, tested, effective Cone basics, not to mention precision targeting and 'conventional media' (you can't hide from a great poster), we have to pray that the 'brilliant tech' we are determined to commit our futures to will deliver on our belief that it will ultimately solve the problem it created.
But how to solve the seemingly impossible challenge of accurately identifying the content of images and videos, given that almost all uploaders are not in the least bit interested in adding well considered, highly descriptive, useful metadata tags – especially the content advertisers would give anything to avoid. That's the really dark stuff, likely deliberately tagged with impenetrable descriptions, if at all? Which supremacist/pornographer/criminal/conman/extremist/pervert is really going to respectfully consider [Google search bar input] and spend 20 minutes precisely tagging every bit of their vile content?
Imagine: 'Fanatical Islamic terrorist in dirty black outfit and woven scarf sat on an old Ford pick-up truck holding the severed head of American journalist in Aleppo in front of a tank, a rabid dog, my wife, my home and my family. And, is that a drone…?' In truth, there can never be and will never be the perfect metadata accompanying visuals because life is just too infinitely varied. We need a system that looks at every image and video and understands what is in it WITHOUT the need for metadata; imagine what a system like this could unlock, especially given that 'every picture speaks a thousand word tag?' Or consider that by 2020 there will be 65 trillion images and 6 trillion videos online, most of which will be invisible to 'Google it'; like dark matter – we know they exist, but we cannot see them with current tech.
A serious breakthrough is required. An as yet unidentified system that behaves in a way that no program ever has to date, or to be more specific a system that thinks like we do, that can recognise and identify things like we do and as instantaneously as we do too.
I guess we assume that if such a system existed we would call it AI, which would be close, but in this instance AHI (Artificial Human Intelligence) feels more the requirement. Pixsee is a British business developed by Russian mathematicians that were trained to help develop the Russian space program. It recognises images and video in a manner as close to humans as is currently possible. Using DNN (Wiki it) is has the ability to look at a billion pixels and based on their configuration (and sequence in the case of video) can tell you precisely what they represent, in image terms - regardless of any information contained in the metadata. Combine it with metadata in URL's and in the text on a page and you have a system that identifies very nearly all contentious material. Including video.
This should come as something of a revelation for ANYONE whose careers and businesses rely on other people's content. A machine that sees like we do; that can confidently determine a violent and bloody car accident from an automotive sales video, a boxing match from a street brawl, a plate of food from a pool of vomit, a sausage from an erect penis and on the delicate subject of the biggest problem of all – a machine that recognises pornographic content of all kind. Yes, it's the magic dust that both brands and their cohorts have been desperate for for years, to eliminate the scandals brought about by machine based inefficiencies that agencies are now being forced to admit exist, it is set to make the online world a safer place for us all.
It's great that such mind boggling digital alchemy is finally riding to the rescue, but in truth – if I were a marketing director, would I honestly place my budget into DDM with a way less than 1% hit rate and (as things stand) a 12% utter cock up rate? No, I would get 'back to basics' and apply some rigour to 'finding them, meeting them, inspiring them' and when I do I will be confident in the knowledge that way more than a derisory 1% will follow.
There-in however, lies a little comfort for all shamed brands out there, chances are the actual content of the advert that found its way into Scuzz Alley was void of any real potential to engage with their audiences anyway – I am fairly sure not one of their actual customers noticed because they were almost certainly somewhere else at the time. But the world's media noticed – big time, so best get your house in order before it happens again.

A Gloucestershire family caught up in the Pontins drama say the company's apology is too little too late.
Brother and sister Jake and Jade Howe have been going to Pontins in Brean Sands since they were young and now take their own children to the Somerset resort.
But Jade cut her holiday short and says she will never go back again to the holiday park which only apologised on Friday night.
The Matson mum was on a Sun holiday with her daughter Skyla, aged five, brother Jake, sister in law Vanessa Matthews, both 23, and their two children when the heating ducts came down in the entertainment centre.
At least six guests were taken to hospital following the incident, while a further 18 were treated for minor injuries at the scene.
"The day before we were sat exactly under where it came down because we were watching the children's entertainment," she said.
"On the Wednesday we were just going into the room to get some bingo tickets when it happened.
"As I pulled the door open it all came down and people started running towards us screaming and crying.
"Some people were so shocked they were being sick and I could see one woman wandering around the dance floor looking for her five children screaming.
"It was horrendous. Terrifying. We had no idea what was going on so we just got the children out of there and as fast as we could. We did not know what to do and as we waited outside we could see all the blue lights and the air ambulance."
Jade says she and the rest of the family went back to the chalet in complete shock but nobody came around to check if they were OK.
It later emerged that the police, firefighters and paramedics had rushed to the holiday complex after a heating vent fell on children, parents and grandparents but she said information was scant and they spent a sleepless night worrying about those who had been injured.
The following morning Jade went to reception to find out what was happening and was upset by the reaction.
"There was a lady there saying everybody was overreacting," she said. "She said people were just being over dramatic because nobody had been seriously hurt.
"But that wasn't the point. As far as we were concerned our children's lives had been put at risk and we just wanted to pack up and go home because the holiday had been spoilt. We were all shaken up by it."
Jade was even more upset when she saw TV reports of those injured in the incident and a man claiming he had warned somebody about a dip in the roof.
Wendy Jones, from Hereford, was trapped under the debris in her motor scooter and suffered a broken hip and a suspected broken collarbone and required surgery at Weston General Hospital.
Other holidaymakers caught up in the collapse spoke about how terrifying the incident was and Jennifer McGary said it sounded like a bomb had gone off.
She added: "Our first reaction was that it was a terrorist attack."
George Clark was injured by a falling piece of concrete that hit his shoulder.
"I had to throw myself to the ground, and crawl out under the tables - the tables were holding up the weight of the ceiling," he told the BBC.
"Everyone just panicked, there were screams, kids crying and shouting, it was just bedlam in there."
On Friday night, two days after the incident, Pontins issued a statement saying the company is "deeply shocked" by what happened.
"It's not good enough, they should have shown a bit more concern at the time," said Jade who has been told they can claim a refund.
"A 'sorry' would have been nice when we went to reception the following day, not two days later.
"I have been going there since I was about five and now I take my children there, but I won't be going again."
The Pontins statement said: "Following the recent incident at Brean Sands, we take the health and safety of all our guests and staff extremely seriously.
"The company is deeply shocked that any guest has suffered an injury caused by any accident.
"We are of course fully assisting with the current enquiries and thank the local emergency services and all our amazing staff on the holiday park, for their fast response and empathy throughout this time.
Sedgemoor District Council said it will be investigating
"Sedgemooor District Council are the enforcement and investigating authority for this premises and have opened a health and safety investigation," said the statement
"A heating and air con duct which had been boxed in and attached to the wall gave way. The ceiling has not collapsed.
"The investigation is likely to be complex and run for several months."

World Animal Protection & Ride Share Company
Highlighting the cruelty behind elephant rides
About the Partnership
An NYC-based ride-hailing service that prides itself on the exceptional treatment of both their drivers and riders partnered with World Animal Protection to celebrate World Elephant Day in 2019. They pledged to bring awareness to the cruelty behind elephant rides in tourist venues as well as donate $1 per ride to support our ongoing work to protect animals, including elephants, around the world.
How We Work Together
Prior to World Elephant Day 2019, both of our organizations sent communications to our respective supporters about the cause marketing collaboration and urge individuals to make a positive impact for elephants. On the day of, the ride-booking app notified customers who planned to take a ride about our World Elephant Day partnership, the donation scheme, and how riders would make a difference through their taxi choice that day.
"We are grateful for this partnership to help educate the public and for the company's donation to fund our work around the world to protect animals," says World Animal Protection.
Why we have partnered
World Animal Protection's Taken for a Ride report found that up to 550,000 wild animals are exploited in the tourism industry worldwide. Tourist demand for direct contact activities with elephants such as riding, washing, and feeding leads to a lifetime of abuse. The constant presence of strangers requires elephants to be controlled by keepers through harsh obedience training from a young age that includes severe restraining, pain, and discomfort.
By partnering with the rideshare company and using relevant, thought-provoking messaging, such as "Ride a Cab, not an Elephant," we were able to bring further awareness and attention to elephant cruelty to new audiences, media outlets and other animal advocates on the timely World Elephant Day.

Choir would not be as fun without Nick. The Chicago Children's Choir has a demanding schedule that's hard to keep up with. But Nick is without a doubt one of the reasons why I make it through the day.
We first met last year. We were both new members in the top ensemble of the CCC, the Voice of Chicago. We connected right away. But never would I have thought that his mere presence would make such a big impact on me.
The first time we met, he immediately made me laugh so hard, my sides hurt. I kept in mind that I should hang around him more often. And ever since, he has never failed to make me laugh.
One of my favorites of our inside jokes was when we were learning some show choir choreography to the song of "Can't Stop the Feeling" by Justin Timberlake. After successfully completing a section of the song, I was exhausted. I felt like my bones were gonna fall out. I quoted the song's first lyrics, "I got this feeling inside my bones." Without missing a beat, Nick responded with, "It's called arthritis." That was one of our first bonding moments.
Due to us being in different grade levels, I truly am going to miss him when I graduate and go to college. But the memories I have with him, and will continue to make with him, I am forever grateful for.
