Well, it's been a while since I posted here (Twitter still winning), but here's a long overdue synopsis of some of the things my first startup, Tornado, created. I'll be adding to this from time-to-time as I get in touch with some of the old team.

I know it can be hard sometimes to grasp and translate ideas in a single-shot, over the phone, but this Guardian "article" recounting their interview with me reads like it has been /auto-corrected/speech-to-text'd/ by an Engrish bot. Given it's written in the first-person, I felt more than a little irritated by this. So, in an […]

A big shout out to RinseFM who just got their FM license [Guardian, Evening Standard]. This is the second station I've helped with streaming that's ended up with an FM license (the first was Resonance FM). Having put Virgin Radio, Kiss FM and Classic FM streams online in the mid-90s, and then all of the […]

Surveyed all the free digital signal processing (DSP) and music software available on the Internet. In those days you could – there were about 120 references to "music software" if you did an Archie search… Early days …. funny to think that years later it'd be so relevant.

Growth After the Crisis
How hospitable will the global environment be for economic growth in the developing world as we come out of the present financial crisis? The answer depends on how well we manage the following tension. On the one hand, global macro stability requires that we prevent external imbalances from getting too large. On the other hand, growth in poor nations requires that the world economy be able to absorb a rapid increase in the supply of tradables produced in the developing world. It is possible to render these two requirements compatible, but doing so requires greater use of explicit industrial policies in developing countries, which have the potential of encouraging modern tradable activities without spilling over into trade surpluses. The "price" to be paid for greater discipline on real exchange rates and external imbalances is greater use (and permissiveness towards) industrial polices.

Took me awhile, but I just noticed that our own Josh Haskell was also published
in this month's issue of The American Gardener. Sure, it's a letter rather
than an article, but kudos all around!
For those who don't get the mag, Josh wrote a letter about Bilderback's
watering study that we discussed in CHAT awhile back. The study suggested the
advantages of afternoon watering and Josh, like the rest of us, pointed out
that the study probably only applies to containerized material rather than to
inground plants as the article implied.

Past few weeks have been stressful. But I am trying my best to do stuff. However, I have recently uploaded my first MLP Short, and I do hope to make more content like this soon. But anyways. I released something new for all of you to enjoy!
Yes, you see it right, it is an MLP animation. Don't like it, don't care. Everyone's a critic after all. xD
Anyways, I was actually using this as a test to take my time with animations again, but I did have 2 days till the date and make it in time. But I still happened to make everything look clean and good. For the first MLP short. I think it was well done. Since 100 subscribers, I was planning to make this kind of stuff, but I didn't have legit ideas yet, plus, I was struggling with school. I still am right now but I am taking it slow and slowly and made sure to keep priorities at times like this. I'm still bad with time management, but I am getting the certain principle for it.
Now that that's out of the way. I did say I was going to complete the SMBZ KAI port remake. But I have gone slow with it again. Mainly because of inspiration. And it was also becoming a pain to work on. I still have some areas to fix up and animate but I am not sure of how it is all going to go in the end. I wish I could just finish it up but I do want it to look good as possible. But I'll post more on that later. But for now, I hope you enjoy most of the things I have made so far.

LPC Writing Services
Helping law students to achieve more
Our writing services are here to help you succeed!
We write essays to help students with their academic and professional law studies, it's as simple as that. Sometimes even the best of students can struggle writing, that's why we've spent over a decade finding the finest writers to help students of all capabilities complete their assignments.
Our order process is simple, all you need to do is visit our order form and provide all of the details of your latest assignment. We then get straight to work matching your order with the perfect writer. As the UKs largest law essay writing service provider you benefit from our extensive database of law writers and over a decade's worth of experience.
Our core offerings include a comprehensive quality report, detailed plagiarism report and fully referenced academic work written to your exact specifications. All of these features are supported by our industry leading guarantees.
Areas where we can help
Another extremely popular LPC service is our advocacy guidance service, which is designed to help you with any advocacy assessment such as:
- Submissions/speeches to a judge on an application or a jury in a trial
- Questioning a witness in either examination in chief or cross-examination
Submissions and speeches often require an accompanying a skeleton argument which we can also provide for you. For submissions/speeches, we offer comprehensive bullet pointed notes to guide you in the delivery of your submission/speech.
Additionally, you can choose to upgrade your order to a fully written transcript detailing exactly what you should say during the submission or speech. This is beyond just notes and helps you to understand the exact terminology that you should be using when speaking in court.
With our questioning advocacy guidance service we provide:
- An explanation of what the contentious issues are likely to be and what you need to get the witness to say in evidence
- Suggested lines of questioning to address the issues that will need to be drawn out of the witness
- Suggested response questions depending on what the witness answers or may answer
Do you require an in depth, high quality and professional LPC Case Analysis? Law Teacher's UK qualified academic law experts are just a click away!
Studying or practising law is not simply reading through the scores of law texts and the different legal policies; it is more of understanding the actual scenario, why a certain law has been made and how and in what kind of situations are they implemented.
Case analysis is a way of imparting knowledge in the Legal practice Course (LPC), which emphasises on learning from previous cases, in order to provide an in depth look at a given case. Previous cases are examined in order to analyse and implement any relevant arguments of the previous case to the present one and co-relate the judgement.
Case analysis not only familiarises the student with similar previous cases and their rulings, but also hones the skill of analysing and observing the minute details of a case. It prepares the student to search examples of different cases that have had a similar ruling and try to juxtapose the arguments responsible for the rulings.
Often as part of your LPC you will have to interview a client in a mock conference where the lay client is played by an actor. You will usually have very basic details prior to the conference and are expected to:
- Get all the relevant information out of the lay client so that you have full instructions
- Advise the client on the potential cause(s) of action/claim(s)/defence(s)
- Advise the client on the merits of the case
- Advise the client on next steps
What we can do to help you with this is:
- Prepare notes on what you might want to ask the lay client and anticipate possible or probable answers and lines of questioning so you are fully prepared for the interview.
- Prepare potential advice depending on the instructions that you have been provided with in advance of the conference.
Law Teacher provides a high quality and professional LPC Draft writing service that is produced by UK academic law experts.
Legal drafting or creating legal documents is the centre around which almost everything in the legal world pivots. Drafting legal letters entails a lot more than simply putting pen to paper and getting the job done.
- Care should be taken to ensure that the Solicitors' Code of Conduct regarding the proper care of client is met.
- The document should serve its purpose adequately; i.e. provide guidance, information or make requests as the case may be.
- If the audience is a client rather than a legal professional, then the language and the tone of the document should not contain complex legal words that are beyond the scope of the clients' understanding.
- Legal documents need to be lucid and brief, whether it is meant for a busy legal colleague or a scared, confused or angry client.
- It is important to maintain a balanced tone. Issues like family disputes require sensitivity, whereas those dealing with meeting deadlines need a firm tone that conveys a sense of urgency.
- Accuracy of the legal content is of vital importance to maintain credibility as a legal professional. It is also crucial to stay up to date with the constant changes in civil, common, criminal and statutory law. This is of vital consequence because it would not only affect the reputation of the legal firm bringing it under scrutiny for breach of Solicitors' Code of Conduct but also cause damage to the case.
- Client care is an issue of supreme importance when drafting legal documents. The Solicitors' Code of Conduct has a number of statutory requirements that should be adhered to while drafting. A large part of what should go into the letter is dictated by the first rule of the Code.
One of the key skills as a lawyer is negotiation. Very often, you will be faced with a situation where resolving the issue amicably between the parties is best for all involved. You need to get the best possible outcome for your client whilst at the same time finding a solution that the other party will accept. This is a fine balancing act and our negotiation preparation service is well placed to help you to learn the important skills involved in a good negotiation.
The key points to a good negotiation are understanding the relative strengths and weaknesses of your case and what your client and the other party want to achieve.
Our negotiation preparation service provides you with a comprehensive assessment of the case you are working on. Once you know how likely it is that you would win at trial, you know the strength you will have in negotiations. You also need to know what the likely remedy or award would be at trial if successful in order to negotiate for a realistic outcome. Our negotiation preparation service can help you to understand the likely legal outcome so that you can be a successful negotiator.
In any negotiation, there will be certain outcomes that your client must achieve and others that they will not concede. It is important to be aware of these when entering into a negotiation and that is where our negotiation service is of great value to you. Our negotiation preparation service will guide you to ask the right questions of your client in order to be fully prepared to represent your client's best interests.
When placing a practical legal research order, you simply provide us with the scenario that you have been provided as part of your course. A qualified professional will then take the scenario as the requirements for the piece and start the research and writing process.
This is most frequently written in the form of a memorandum to a senior solicitor who has requested your assistance in your provided scenario's firm. Our practical legal research service provides comprehensive research of an area of law and reports on what the technical legal rules and principles are, as well as what the prospects are for client in the scenario.
We excel in providing practical legal research that is concise, to the point and detailed, using primary sources and professional practitioners' texts rather than just relying on the academic textbooks frequently used in Undergraduate or Masters level work.
Here at LawTeacher.net, we can also provide you with a research trail as an additional element of your order. The research trail details the research strategy that was employed and includes:
- Search terms and sources initially checked.
- Initial findings and why this led to the next stage of research.
- Details of how one source led onto finding the next.
A research trail is an essential tool in allowing your practical legal research strategy to be validated and, as such, is often an extremely important requirement of practical legal research coursework.
Law Teacher provides a high quality and professional LPC Research Trail writing service. If your LPC assignment requires a Research Trail, our UK qualified academic law experts are on hand to help.
LPC (Legal Practice Course) Coursework is the bridge between theoretical learning and practical training in the field of law. It provides the learners an opportunity to train as a solicitor under the expert guidance of an experienced supervisor.
The focus of the course is on gaining the proficiency required to face a courtroom scenario confidently. The coursework involves group discussions, independent research, workshops and continuous assessments. There are a range of optional subjects that provide the possibility of specialisation to a certain extent.
Research trails are an important aspect of legal research for both students and legal professionals. There will be times during the course when it might be necessary to revisit previously consulted resources. Research Trails are handy techniques and tools that help trainees produce quick, efficient and accurate work. Other reasons why a research trail should be maintained are because
- It will help verification of facts, in case they need to be reviewed again before arriving at a conclusion.
- The client may want to see a proof for the research done.
- A conscientious supervisor may want to verify facts while assessing a student's coursework.
An essential part of gaining your LPC qualification is being able to produce a high quality skeleton argument. A skeleton argument is the basic assertion of the case or submission that you will be putting forward. It is directed towards the judge and a copy is given to the judge and each party before the hearing.
This is then expanded upon by your oral submissions in front of the mock judge, who is often also the assessor. Therefore, we can also accompany skeleton arguments with guidance notes for your oral submission; simply let us know what you require when placing your order.

Also, I will teach you how to use most of the interior and exterior features in a detailed fashion, that before, you could only get from going to a dealership yourself! Throughout the video, I will highlight key styling and unique differences about the vehicle, any available options, and of course it would not be an enthusiast car video without the good ole engine portion with rev and Exhaust note with interior and exterior perspectives. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHANNEL SEE BELOW: In this channel you will find in depth reviews/tour of automobiles from all over the world, presented in a more detailed fashion than ever before. Basically, this gives the viewer the chance to view the most detailed 1st person look you can get without going to an actual dealer yourself! Every video is consistent in the way I present so viewers know what to expect in my presentations. I treat every vehicle with the same respect whether a 1960 Chevrolet Impala SS or the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador. I film all types of vehicles from past, present, and future while broadening the knowledge of the automotive enthusiast. You will see everything from vintage, brand new, exotic, mainstream, old, etc. I am very proud of this channel and have built it up from amateur videos years ago to what you see today. I wanted to share my love for the automotive world with the rest of the world. Be sure to explore the massive video variety, have fun and enjoy The Driver's Seat of YouTube!

It is crucial for retailers to consider how to distribute strategic attention across the customer journey. An effective end-to-end customer experience influences satisfaction. A streamlined sales process offers the biggest opportunities to the cost to serve.
The smart retailers, of course, recognise that digital is a whole-of-business enabler.
In seeking opportunities to reduce the cost of doing business and improving the top line it's important to consider both Front of House (customer facing) and Back of House (internal operations).
Let's take a look at each stage of the customer journey.
Demand generation is the process of bringing consumers into the purchase funnel. The task is handled using a combination of:
This stage of the journey historically receives the most attention, which often compromises other stages that exert greater influence over customer experience.
This is often a distinct stage in which the consumer hones in on particular products. Digital is increasingly at the forefront of this process. Online research typically takes place prior to an offline purchase.
Fortunately, the days of static online brochures are well behind us. Tailored content served to customers based on demographic and past behaviour is fast becoming the norm.
As any frontline team member knows, the step from selection to payment can feel like a chasm.
Digital assists by nudging the customer towards purchase, and by broadening or changing their selection. There are literally hundreds of posts about improving conversion rates during product selection (here's an example).
Wishlists can also be utilised to provide customer insights and drive re-marketing.
Until the invention of offline self-checkout, there had been very little innovation in this area for many years. Payment was once simply a binary 'pay now or pay later' choice. New instant credit options also warrant consideration at this stage.
The essential principle behind effective payment is making it simple and avoiding nasty surprises. This is particularly true online, where dropout at this stage is a growing problem. 2015 research cited by SalesCycle showed that one of the largest causes of shopping cart abandonment was unexpected shipping costs.
Again, it's important to think cross-channel.
A purchase that begins in a physical store can end in an "online-style" delivery. On the contrary online purchases can be picked up in store. While there has been a great deal of innovation in recent years around collection mechanisms, they all boil down to two fundamental options…
Drones, autonomous vehicles, couriers and shared delivery services are all variations of product distribution.
Besides traditional collection-at-point-of-purchase, demand to pickup products at third parties such as convenience stores, petrol stations or lockers is growing. New innovations like delivery to your car boot also fall into this category.
How will you use the above options, if at all? How do they support or detract from your value proposition? Are your underlying systems capable of working with them? These are all questions to consider carefully.
An often forgotten part of the journey, aftersales can be a time sink and cash burn. To reduce pain in this area, the best retailers minimise product returns by answering questions, systematising processes and ensuring full traceability of purchases.
For online retail experiences, making returns easier will instil confidence and increase basket size.
Customers expect a seamless experience.
The concept of "Online-to-Offline" (O2O) preoccupies many retailers. Customers however expect products and offers — as well as their information and preferences — to follow them seamlessly as they move between channels.
Opportunities for innovation are also presented by connecting various points in the journey. For example, Amazon's Dash order buttons create a direct link between aftersales and selection by guiding the customer back to the product.
One-click payment also links the discovery and payment phases, whereas click and collect (a.k.a "Buy Now & Pick Up In Store") bridges payment and collection.
Some innovative Click & Collection solutions also embrace aftersales, and offer the ability to return items to the collection point. As an example, UK based Collect+ allows customers to pickup and return items at a convenient location, such as their local newsagent.
In the early days of digital, the focus was on advertising and website leads to drive demand generation and discovery. During the last decade however, companies have recognised that significant opportunities lie in the latter stages of the journey.
When we explore digital strategy and delivery, we follow a Discover – Define – Develop – Deliver process. The cycle is informed by three considerations:
Solutions can take the form of software, hardware or business rules and processes.
Our approach depends on the maturity and clarity defined in the statement of requirements, the culture of the organisation, and whether any third parties are involved:
Sometimes the customer journey itself can benefit from greater analysis — particularly when bringing together multiple stakeholders to focus a new digital strategy.
We use customer journey maps or service design blueprints to bring further granularity to the customer story, staff interactions, technology stack or budget at each stage.

Gartner forecasts that by 2020 there will be over 26 billion connected devices, while Telstra CEO Andrew Penn says that IoT is integral to all businesses now, because by 2020, "everything that can be connected will be connected".
Gaming consoles, speakers, thermostats, and even our fridges are becoming interlinked. Many devices now offer some form of short range connectivity, such as Bluetooth, enabling them to access the internet indirectly through your phone or computer.
But why this idea of everything being "connected", and what does it mean for the future?
We know that people love controlling stuff from one place.
Things that once seemed science fiction are fast becoming a reality:
The challenge for electronics manufacturers has always been balancing processing power with size and price. We're now starting to realise the benefits of external processing.
Think about how Apple Watch uses the iPhone to access all kinds of data – such as what's on for your day, or how far away your Uber ride is.
Without leveraging external information through your phone, your smartwatch would probably look something like this.
So as we move to a more connected world we'll start to see more functionality outsourced from the device chipboard onto a cloud based IoT platform.
Take again, for instance, Blossom's smart watering systems. The 'heavy lifting' in terms of processing – a mashup of local weather data, plant information, and site-specific conditions to calculate exactly how much water is needed – is undertaken remotely from the sensor.
Cities across the globe are reinventing themselves as cutting edge IoT "smart cities" – and Australia has joined the party.
Melbourne is projected to overtake Sydney as Australia's largest city (by population) within 35 years. Local councils have begun exploring measures to introduce connected technology which addresses population growth and climate change challenges.
Melbourne City Council is currently trialing 50 sensor-equipped rubbish bins that notify waste management upon reaching 70 percent capacity, and smarter street lighting could soon be rolled out over the city to turn lights off when no motion is detected.
At a recent forum Telstra's chief scientist, Dr Hugh Bradlow, discussed opportunities for business, underlining IoT isn't a future state – it is here now and needs to be on the agenda in board meetings, today.
Business leaders should be discussing how IoT products can boost their company performance and provide an edge over competitors.
Internal efficiency is an obvious area of interest, for instance how "smart offices" can save on running costs.
Looking externally the focus should be on ways in which IoT can improve the capability of products and services. Implementing device functionality that can receive and react to instructions coming from the internet is a crucial first step in creating an IoT-compatible ecosystem.
Alongside our commercial IoT projects, we've been running some experiments on sensor data and machine learning.
We challenged ourselves to develop a fully-fledged agricultural sensor system complete with a weather station. Our aim was to record explicit metrics like soil density and ground temperature and ultimately compare these readings against external data sets to make predictions.
Our goals were:
With platform flexibility a key requirement we opted for Cumulocity – widely regarded as a flagship in enterprise device management.
Being curious technologists, we decided to go a step further and build our own platform geared specifically at storing and reacting to sensor data.
We built our application using Node.js and RethinkDB, integrating into AWS, Twilio and Google Firebase to broadcast alerts.
We've extended this internal API to handle device management and data collection on a much larger scale. We're working on an integration with The Bureau of Meteorology data to begin estimating future conditions based on historic data.
The sensor data is currently being graphed with Geckoboard, a wonderful dashboard product which we run on a TV screen here at the office. If you're in the Fitzroy/Collingwood area we'd welcome a visit to check out the rig.
In addition to our weather experiments, we've also been involved in some early stage work with a large Australian retailer to explore the potential of a physical RFID storage solution.
We've been able to demonstrate significant time savings, plus the ability to automate stock level notifications – which we think has large potential for enabling smarter warehouses.
The evolution of IoT has been exciting but we've only scratched the surface. Consumers and businesses alike will see further significant changes and our interactions will change particularly around:
Change will be rapid. And exciting.
How can we help connect your business? Get in touch with us today.
But what does that mean in a practical sense?
As has been noted elsewhere, a great team does not by default build a great culture. Everyone needs a helping hand to gel, especially during periods of company growth.
One thing which works for us is getting out of the office.
This isn't easy, particularly with project pressures, milestones and deadlines. However with advanced planning we manage to lock in a quarterly team excursion.
Being the curious bunch we are we need something to keep us occupied on our team building days. A challenge to solve. A new skill to learn.
To tick all of these boxes our latest trip took us to The Public Brewery with the task of brewing three batches of beer.
Supported by a skilled brewery team, and driven by some gentle competition between three Conduct teams, a Pale Ale, a Red Ale and a Brown Ale were soon merrily fermenting.
But being us we couldn't stop there.
Back at base the creative team set about designing some labels for our fledgling brews.
The artwork is now proudly in place on the finished product. We're thrilled with the result.
And if we do say so ourselves, our Friday afternoon beers have never tasted so good!]]>
So as a designer who has spent the last 20 plus years learning as I go I should know how difficult it is to penetrate jargon and get an understanding of a constantly evolving industry.
However, as we'll discuss shortly, the more you learn about a subject the less you remember about the times when you didn't know a thing.
I do however remember when, as a young designer with a basic understanding of human-centred design, I stood before an old-school and pretty abrasive executive and put my case for a research budget.
Let's just say I got there in the end but we had what newspapers euphemistically call 'a frank exchange of views'. I wish I had been better prepared.
So reflecting on all of this I thought it might be useful to zoom out and talk about:
To paraphrase an old UXPA definition, human-centred design puts a focus on customers through the planning, design and development of a product. In doing so it orientates the design around the people who will ultimately use that product.
The process is not about giving customers what they say they want. There is a huge difference between asking users what they want and understanding what they do.
Human-centred design activities therefore seek to understand customer behaviour and use this insight to drive ideation, continuous improvement and product design and development.
The mantra of human-centred design is: 'you are not the user'.
For those of you in internal teams – be they start ups or long established organisations – the blunt fact is that you are not best placed to have an 'outside in' view of your products and services.
You don't experience your product offerings in the way someone without exposure to them would. You can't 'unlearn' in order to be a first-time customer and your inside knowledge of your business, its process and terminology can skew your objectivity around design decisions.
Those of us in agency land are not immune either. Without understanding the real needs of real customers we will design for ourselves. The key problem here is that as skilled designers and developers our frame of reference is far different to the audience we are delivering to.
I recall working on a project in around 2008 which leveraged Google Maps. When we tested an early prototype we discovered that around half of the users weren't familiar with the zoom control.
As a design team we had got carried away with what was then a relatively new piece of technology and had set far too high a barrier to use. Our only defence was that we'd had the sense to test early, thereby averting a design disaster!
During the discovery phase of a project, our goal is to establish:
Where applicable it's important to loop in any activities by staff and internal teams in addition to end customers.
Key tools at this stage are user observation and contextual enquiry (a.k.a. field study or cultural probe).
As the name implies the former involves observing customers in order to understand current pain points – who struggles and why – plus tools, workarounds and distractions.
Contextual enquiry is an extension of user observation and involves shadowing and interviewing customers undertaking their everyday tasks in their normal environment (or, at a minimum, getting them to focus on recounting tasks they have done recently).
Conversation during contextual enquiry iis lightly scripted, with key discussion themes mapped out, but the framework is loose enough to explore whatever comes up.
Discovery activities give a project the ultimate reality check in that they uncover how the business and customers actually behave rather than having stakeholders and the project team operate on assumptions.
Findings can be articulated in a number of ways depending of the needs of the project.
At Conduct we love staying lean by articulating findings on a design wall – essentially a low-fidelity collection of sticky notes, sketches and storyboards which grow over the project lifecycle.
Other options include user mental models, personas, customer journey maps or service design blueprints all of which we will review in more detail in a forthcoming journal post.
The purpose of discovery is to inform ideation, feature prioritisation and product roadmap, however moving into design and development is by no means the end of user engagement.
As projects progress we choose from a number of participatory design activities to keep us aligned with user and business need. These are creative activities undertaken with consumers of the product – internal staff as well as customers – where designers facilitate or 'translate' for people who aren't confident in idea expression.
Our start point is the sketches which come out of ideation. These prompt a conversation which, as the solution becomes clearer, will naturally morph into iterative testing of a prototype.
For interface-related engagements prototyping centres on a clickable/tappable version of the proposed solution. Service design projects rely more on storyboards as a prompt to walk key staff and customers through re-imagined service interactions but can go as far as prototyping physical artefacts.
We also evangelise a 'test and learn' mentality. As fans of a lean UX approach we encourage clients to get a core product to market and use ongoing customer analysis to clarify the product roadmap and guide continuous improvement.
If this introduction has whetted your appetite for more, here's a suggested reading list. We'd love to hear how you progress.
Happy reading!]]>
Rewind 25 years or so and 'fan engagement' wasn't even on the radar. If my team won, I avoided the rain and tucked into a gristle-free pie at half time I would go home happy.
Today's fans are a savvier and more demanding bunch. Mark Craig of Cisco Systems' Sports & Entertainment Group quotes research indicating 70 per cent of fans bring a mobile device to the stadium or arena and expect to use it during a game.
For this demographic draughty wi-fi free stadiums simply don't stack up, particularly in comparison to the broadband-enabled home where multiple camera angles, food and drink deliveries and wagering are all available at the tap of a screen.
It's clear that the appropriate use of technology is central to fan engagement strategy. The more enlightened organisations have realised the crucial role that it can play in underpinning a multi-channel experience.
Our client the Victoria Racing Club (VRC) is one such organisation. We've worked closely with the club on a native app which not only supports journey planning and on-course orientation but also augments the live experience.
Central to this augmentation is our integration with Cisco's StadiumVision Mobile technology – the first by a Southern Hemisphere agency.
The VRC's investment puts them firmly in the new breed of so-called 'smart arenas', the potential of which is illustrated by the NBA's Sacramento Kings and their new stadium The Golden 1 Centre, dubbed a '21st Century Coliseum'.
Behind this somewhat lofty title the Kings have an enviable canvas upon which to not only enhance the fan experience but also to drive both direct revenue opportunities and data-driven decision making.
From a customer facing point of view a world of e-ticketing, cashless commerce, orientation to the shortest queues, seat upgrades and access to exclusive content becomes the baseline.
Elsewhere the potential, subject of course to customer opt-in, to use passive tracking to gather data and better understand customer behaviour – and crucially to both predict demand and personalise offers – is extremely exciting.
Additionally, from a marketing and sponsorship point of view, a suite of infrastructure and software of this type offers almost boundless opportunity for highly immersive sponsor activations.
However it's not simply a case of 'build it and they will come'. To get a maximum ROI on any infrastructure or feature set there needs to be a clear strategy.
Labelling this plan a 'fan engagement strategy' may be a relatively new thought but at its heart are the same fundamentals – the marriage of business requirement and customer need to drive a clearly articulated plan with clear outcomes.
And when robust strategy, great service design and appropriate technology come together the outcome can be truly exciting. I for one can't wait to see where it leads.]]>
At the heart of that collaboration is our focus on 'discovery'. It's at the core of what we do, and orientates every one of our projects.
So what exactly do we mean by 'discovery'?
For us, discovery zooms in on the two key components of project success:
Charting the perfect course between these two will deliver a product which is not only frictionless, elegant and usable but also one that delivers true business benefit.
This may sound like the Holy Grail but is surprisingly achievable if the project team follow a methodical process.
The first step is a clear definition of business requirements.
Sometimes these may already be articulated in a statement of requirements, or at this stage may be more nebulous.
Whatever their fidelity the start point is a conversation.
Traditionally this conversation takes the form of a number of stakeholder interviews. This is still a perfectly valid approach, and one we often employ, but there are a number of other techniques in our toolkit, notably our RDV framework.
The bottom line is we are ready for any eventuality from unlocking new innovative ideas through to learning about those you have already unearthed.
It is very easy to get bogged down in technology discussions at this point. We know it is important to be technology agnostic at this stage and focus purely on the project goal, so at this stage we will be clear about the perceived problem space but completely open about the solution.
As our clients you may feel you have a clear idea of who your customers are. There is however no substitute for observation of and/or interviews with your customers to reveal the detailed customer interactions and motivations.
These sessions always uncover extra 'gold' which will either validate current thinking or give the opportunity to pivot accordingly to incorporate customer demand.
User engagement generally validates some business requirements, sometimes questions others and always surfaces new ideas. As a result the conclusion of initial user engagement is an ideal 'stop and think moment'.
We reflect findings back to clients in a number of ways, choosing the most appropriate based on the size, scope and duration of the project and of course our client's preference. Options range from an informal debrief through to a findings report.
Typically we love to share the 'gold' we have unearthed on your behalf, and to help shape the product roadmap. Findings also begin to help us with outline technology discussions.
Whatever the format of the reporting, the conclusion of the discovery phase acts as the bridge between the statement of requirements and the statement of work.
Setting the scene correctly with these documents answers most of the big project questions and gives a great picture on execution. In turn this means accurate estimations, a shared understanding with our client and a clear pathway to smooth project execution.]]>
Clients often tell us 'we need a mobile app' or 'we need to open up our reach' before going on to explain about extensive investment in legacy back-end systems which they feel have now limited their options.
Our advice is clear – let's begin by parking the technical question and focus on outcomes. In other words, identify the optimum solution and work backwards from there.
We remain logical and pragmatic – after all we have to design a solution that delivers –but getting everyone on board with the outcome will build both focus and impetus.
We facilitate rapid discovery sessions with your team – often via our RDV framework – which put aside limitations and give clear air for solution design. Our aim is to have a shared understanding between stakeholders of what success will look like.
Only then do we revisit the technical landscape. We use our deep experience of exposing data in a slick and elegant manner, while of course maintaining security, to draw up data requirements.
Our recipe for success can be summarised in one word – collaboration.
A successful project is one where everyone has a seat at the table so we can bring together three key groups:
Project definition rests on two key components – a statement of requirements and a statement of work. Often there is confusion around the scope and purpose of these.
A statement of requirements is client initiated and defines the outcomes and objectives, benchmarking what is to be achieved. Our discovery and research adds detail to this document.
A statement of work is our response and details how we will deliver on these requirements. It includes wireframes and functional specification with detailed user stories.
The fidelity and delivery of these artefacts will be driven by the project approach, however both agile and waterfall approaches need crystal clear requirements and methodology.
We are an agile studio where it counts – applying it to the execution of the plan.
As the project progresses we lock in a one-to-one relationship between your project manager and ours with a weekly work in progress meeting to manage timelines, risks and issues.
Constant communication ensures delivery within the required timeframe. It is also key that any interdependent work and timelines are shared. We communicate well with other third party suppliers.
Communication does not end with project delivery. A detailed review of lessons learned makes the next engagement even smoother. It is also the ideal opportunity to review new concepts and ideas.
Naturally we'll pivot the project to incorporate key new findings but those outside of the scope that inevitably surface can be added to the product roadmap.
That's the high-level process in a nutshell.]]>
I like to think I've evolved too. In the past 20 years or so I've been webmaster, interaction designer, information architect, content editor, experience architect and design manager to name but a few.
I've learned a fair bit along the way and seen an amazing amount of change.
For instance in the mid-nineties we thought nothing of developing two separate websites for clients – one optimised for Netscape and the other for Internet Explorer.
And let's not revisit those splash screens which forced users to endure upwards of 30 seconds of indulgent animation before offering any content.
The great work done by Jeffrey Zeldman and others on web standards gradually took this pain away, and turned us all on to web accessibility and usability.
Over time we realised it was far more efficient to prototype and evaluate sites rather than fixing mistakes post launch.
Here we coalesced with the HCI practitioners, the ethnography and psychology folks and the ergonomics experts who had been quietly working away and wondering why we were so late to the party.
This is where user-centred design began to gain critical mass.
To begin with it was all very exciting. With Cooper's 'About Face' and Donald Norman's back catalogue lighting the way, we all sailed into uncharted territory, fixing design problems wherever we went.
Then, like a band developing a penchant for fifteen-minute solos, it all got a bit self-indulgent.
The job titles got crazier and the project teams got bigger. Deliverables veered toward weighty and highly decorative tomes rather than, heaven forbid, a real live product.
Thankfully that's all changing. The seismic shift of Agile and a world where design thinking is becoming mainstream has in turn forced the user experience community to re-evaluate.
Meanwhile, out in the corporate world more and more people are also realising it's about products not slide decks.
Here at Conduct we recommend our Research, Design, Validate (RDV) framework for clients seeking an injection of lean UX and design thinking.
RDV activities are scaleable and interchangeable depending on business need. The vision however is fixed: leveraging lean UX and design thinking principles, in collaboration with stakeholders, to rapidly pinpoint, ideate and solve pressing business problems.
The framework is currently in play with a number of clients in the retail and service sectors. Stay tuned for an update.]]>
This was the scenario facing us with "Okee in Medical Imaging" a revolutionary iOS and Android application built in collaboration with the Royal Children's Hospital (RCH) in Melbourne.
By definition, rapid prototyping and production in a year-long highly Agile project with a user base of under-8's poses a number of challenges.
So too does delivering an immersive and fun experience while also addressing the serious issue of reducing anxiety before a medical imaging procedure.
As with all projects we started with a discovery phase to learn as much about the environment and process as possible. This, along with our previous experience in game design, gave us a great start point.
We also tapped into best practice interaction design, but found empirical guidance to be slim.
We opted for a monthly user-testing cycle throughout the project with test groups comprising an equal split of girls and boys between the ages of 4 and 8 years of age.
We were lucky to have access to great facilities at the RCH with plenty of opportunity for observing extended game play via a one-way mirror and remote cameras.
Our iterative testing played a pivotal role in the success of the project. Here are some of our key findings:
Never underestimate the cognitive and motor skills of four to eight-year olds!
Our initial game concepts were too simplistic. As a result 'replayability', and therefore education, suffered. We found the audience loved a challenge and simple games were not the way to go.
We began with a major focus on big clear buttons. We were amazed to find that even the youngest test participants were familiar with gesture-based interactions and the iPad accelerometer.
They became frustrated when they weren't available for all the major interactions. We removed the chrome.
As Jakob Nielsen famously said, "One of usability's most hard-earned lessons is that "you are not the user." This is our mantra.
However we reviewed the prototype in the studio with our big adult hands. At the first test session the children couldn't pinch and zoom fully.
It was an a-ha moment and a wake up call for us.
We quickly discovered that smaller children would place the iPad on the table or the ground and use their fingers to touch. Older children held the device more like an adult.
We also found that while young girls want to solve things young boys want to bash things!
We amended our game scenarios to support these varied contexts of use.
When we opened up time for free play and discovery it was very tempting to step in and assist the children when they failed a task.
Resisting this temptation allowed us to evaluate where failure motivated further attempts to complete tasks and where game design was simply not intuitive.
We learned quickly to match game interactions with the attention span of the children. We evolved short, snappy animations with sounds at key moments.
Ultimately, more starbursts equal more smiles.
Our presentation on Okee in Medical Imaging at UX Australia 2015]]>
Most apps that use location analytics leverage a device's built-in GPS, WiFi or cellular network functionality to generate an approximation of where the user is in the world, and can usually be considered reliable when determining the user's current city or suburb.
This works fine for automatically adding the suburb to a Facebook post or for rights management on streaming services like Netflix.
But what if an app needs to track a user's location accurately to the nearest metre – or even a few centimetres?
This presents challenges for futuristic apps like Commbank Offers, a collaboration between Westfield and Commonwealth Bank, where shoppers are presented with coupons (such as discounted coffee) based on their current location inside the shopping centre.
The problem with tracking devices using the traditional methods is that the location precision is drastically affected when indoors. Beams from GPS and Cellular tracking bounce off objects and walls in a room – sometimes knocking location data off by hundreds of metres.
Where serving content based on a precise location is required, this technology simply doesn't cut it. That's where low energy battery operated Bluetooth beacons come in.
Still a relatively emerging technology, these tiny beacons allow apps to precisely track how far away the device is – with particular emphasis on operating indoors.
These small devices are placed throughout the area, and their signals can be picked up by any device that has Bluetooth 4.0 capability.
Understanding how this technology works, its limitations and ways to best leverage beacons is key to pushing the boundaries of location driven user experiences.
Early in 2015, we were approached by an art gallery to create an iPad application that served exhibit information based on the visitor's location in the gallery.
While it became obvious to us early on that Bluetooth beacons would be the way to go, what wasn't so clear was which beacon brand, configuration, or position in the room would be most reliable and why.
We decided to conduct some in-house research and testing of our own, and what we discovered along the way was rather surprising.
With most electronic devices quality is determined by looking at the price tag. Since an iPhone 6S is more expensive than the regular iPhone 6, most of us will correctly conclude that it's a superior product before we even see the feature list.
This is not the case with bluetooth beacons. Small bundles of beacons (usually three) can range anywhere from $50 to $200+, but from our own testing we found this made little difference to the performance over a small area like an art gallery.
Our first instinct was to test out high end product Beacon Inside. As a comparison, we also tested kontakt.io beacons to see how the performance of a mid-range product stacked up against a high end product.
Once we got familiar with both products, we started to test out how reliable their signal strength was over a sustained period of time. The test was simple:
Much to our surprise in our tests the mid-range kontakt.io beacons were undeniably superior in performance over this small area compared with the high end Beacon Inside beacons.
While Beacon Inside is a market leader in larger scale signal performance, it was obvious that kontakt.io was going to perform better in a space like the art gallery.
It's clear that the actual effectiveness of specific products is going to vary from project to project.
There really is no best brand of beacon and we recommend testing a range of different brands before deciding on a product.
Another really interesting thing we discovered was that device orientation can have quite an impact on the reliability of Bluetooth beacon signals.
In the case of our project, visitors to the art gallery were always going to be facing the exhibit, which got us thinking about the hardware inside the iPad Mini and where specifically the Bluetooth receptor was located.
We discovered the Bluetooth chip is located in the bottom right hand corner of the iPad Mini, just below the home button, and is the same for all other iPad models to date.
If a user is holding the iPad in landscape, the chip is going to be covered by their hand as they hold it – thus reducing its signal reliability.
We ran a new test with the kontakt.io beacons to see if we could prove our concept:
As we suspected the test results prove that signal consistency depends on the orientation of the device in cases like ours.
We suggest you do a similar test for your devices, too. After seeing these test results, we decided to change the art gallery application from landscape to portrait mode.
The layout of Bluetooth beacons in the room is instrumental in setting reliable and precise zone boundaries for your application.
We discovered pretty quickly that a room dimension and layout can dramatically affect the performance and behaviour of beacon signals.
Since Bluetooth operates by sending low powered radio signals through the air, it is highly susceptible to bouncing off walls, ceilings and other objects in its path.
This meant that test results could vary quite significantly to performance in the actual art gallery – which is comprised of different types of walls and objects to our test environment.
Bluetooth also struggles to travel through water and other forms of moisture. Whilst this might not sound like a major problem, it is easy to forget that our own bodies are over 55 per cent water.
The number of people in the immediate area is clearly going to play a factor in how you setup your beacon zones. It's important to place beacons in a position where the signals will have to travel through as few people as possible, or readings can become unreliable.
In the case of the art gallery a few tweaks were required in terms of where we positioned the beacons for each exhibit based on the flow of people entered the room.
As you can see, testing was a huge part of our process, and it helped us overcome many challenges that we encountered during the project.
Unfortunately there wasn't much software available to run our tests. Some brands such as Bluecats Beacons come with really functional and interactive applications, which has an iPhone app that lists all your active beacons and how far away they are to the nearest centimeter.
Whilst all this real-time data is great, it's difficult to properly record and then analyse it visually in graphs and tables.
Since there wasn't a generic iOS beacon testing tool that served our needs, we decided to create our own tool for measuring the signal strength of beacons over time. We used this tool to conduct all of the tests covered in this blog post. We'll be excited for you to try it when we make it available for free on the app store.
As the scale of your beacon project increases, both deploying and managing the hardware becomes increasingly difficult. Beacons are difficult to track since they have no serial numbers – so lost, fallen or misplaced beacons can be extremely challenging to replace.
Rolling out a fully fledged beacon system in a large space, like many museums and shopping centres have already tried, may require full-time staff working on site to keep things running smoothly.
The technology is currently far from perfect, and there's definitely a higher chance of something going wrong as the number of beacons you have increases.
Another thing to be mindful of is how often your users' devices are going to be locked.
With some projects, like the art gallery we worked with, you can safely assume that the in-house iPads visitors receive will have the screen active for their entire session.
This wouldn't be the case for something like a shopping centre, where a much greater percentage of users' phones are going to be locked and away in their pockets.
iBeacon technology is somewhat reliable at picking up zone changes while a device is locked (although delays are higher than normal), but metrics like distance and signal strength are not available.
This greatly limits the functionality available to you when devices are in lock mode.
As with all emerging technologies, working with Bluetooth beacons continues to be a learning experience. If you've been working with them or if you'd like to try out iBeacon Pulse – we'd love to hear from you]]>

Coming to terms
Half an hour passed and they saw nothing more of the two knights, for they had taken their conversation out of the keep.Finally, Aurei headed back over to the Muddy Boot to make preparations for the dinner crowd, leaving orders that she could be found over there if the two wished to see her.Krys accompanied her and both women visited the bathhouse to freshen up before going to work in the Inn.
Aurei's throat stayed sore even after Sir Alvis' healing and she could not stop thinking about the fury in Sir Eleazar's red eyes as he choked her.His eyes so closely resembled her own.Midway through the dinner rush, Sir Alvis, accompanied by two other knights -one a handsome half-elf— came up to her.None of the three were smiling.
"Duchess Bugley," Sir Alvis bowed respectfully, "I'm afraid we were unable to convince Sir Eleazar to put away his hatred and listen to reason.He stubbornly refused to submit to humility, but we were able to get him to agree to take a week's time to reflect on his actions and if at the end of that time he does not agree to our discipline, then he will be tried before our order and will most likely lose his status as a Paladin."
"And he will probably blame me for it." Aurei sighed, "Can I speak to him; maybe work out our differences?"
"I'm not sure that would be a good idea as his rage is still hot."
"Maybe I can cool it off.Where is he?"
"Outside by the hitching post.But I don't think he'll listen."
"I want to at least say I tried." With a swallow of her sore throat she arose and boldly marched out front.
He seemed to be expecting her, for he leaned against the post, arms folded across his chest, staring without emotion at her approach.
"Duchess." he acknowledged her approach flatly.
"Sir Eleazar, I am told that the Underdark is full of evil."
"Indeed.Evil, however, lurks everywhere."
"And takes surprising forms.Until recently, evil seemed to have forgotten about the Duchy of Westmark.But apparently the Necromancer's Guild decided to remedy that.That is why we asked for help from the Blood Knights… to fight this budding evil."
Eleazar sighed, "Duchess, I know why the Order wishes to have a presence here. I realize that your duchy is in peril and I do not deny your sincerity of concern. My problem lies with YOU."
"But why?Surely you have heard about me by now?I was not born in the Underdark, I was raised by the Bugleys."
"Who you are, I do not doubt, Duchess Bugley.It is obvious to those who have lived in the Hell of the underworld that you are not of that realm.It is not your character that affects me, it is your form."
"How can that be my fault?"
"It is not your fault, Duchess, you have not wronged me, and my actions from earlier today were wrong.But I have very strong feelings of rage when I see you; for looking at you, I see the forms of those that tortured and slowly killed my mother while I was forced to watch.I am sorry for my assault on you, but it seems that I have no control over the wrath I have not completely dealt with.I cannot commit to a charge of the Order that I hold in greatest respect if I am tempted to lash out every time I see the ruler of the Duchy.Put quite frankly, Duchess Bugley, I fear that you will not be safe if I remain here.I have to find Yesh's healing for this terrible darkness that threatens to consume me."
"I appreciate your honesty, Sir Eleazar.But how will your Order respond to your decision?"
"It is neither yours nor their concern, I have to find wholeness and only then can I atone for my sin."
"Well, you must do what you must, but I want you to know that I forgive you.I cannot imagine what you are going through or what you have left behind, but I have experienced some trouble form time to time due to my race, so I believe in finding inner peace and peace with Yesh.I will tell you this before I leave you to your penance – having spoken to you, I feel that you are no danger to me and please know that you will be welcome here if you choose to return.May Yesh guide your heart."
Eleazar nodded and Aurei gave him a gentle smile then turned and walked back into the Inn.

Thinking Plague Biography (Wikipedia)
Thinking Plague is a United States avant-garde progressive rock group founded in 1982 by guitarist/composer Mike Johnson and bass guitarist/drummer Bob Drake. Based in Denver, Colorado, the band has been active off and on since 1982, taking on a number of musicians over the years. They have made six studio albums between 1984 and 2012, and released one live album recorded at NEARfest in 2000.
Their music is a mix of rock, folk, jazz and 20th-century classical music. Music.com remarked that "...Thinking Plague stand out as a shining example of avant-garde music blended with just enough rock for it to be called progressive rock..."
While never directly related to Rock in Opposition (RIO), Thinking Plague was strongly influenced by this late-1970s movement, particularly Henry Cow and Art Bears. In spite of Johnson's dislike of the term, the band has often been categorized as a "RIO" band.

Elton John is has released so much material in his lifetime that he has managed to become a favourite artist of mine even though I only really like/listen to 20% of his music (his 70s albums plus a few other songs). It always intrigued me why he relied on Bernie Taupin, Tim Rice and others for his lyrics, as often it's the music I'm in love with while the lyrics seem neither here nor there (e.g. Levon, Tiny Dancer). I'm sure he could have done just as good a job himself.
Elton John is a prolific talent whose music will always be memorable and hold special value.
Elton is a special artist for me. A musical genius, along with Stevie Wonder, who I grew up with just as my parents did when Elton debuted. Also like Stevie Wonder, he is very underrated on this site. Yes, after the late 70's, Elton has been merely a shadow of his former self, but his accomplishments speak for themselves.
Similar to Queen, he only has a few truly great albums, but his catalog of hits speak for itself as well. Yellow Brick Road is one of the most wonderful works of art in the history of popular music. Elton John is a legend.
Briliant singles artist - not quite at the same level when looking for whole albums.
My Icon!!!!!!!!!
If there's an underrated artist in this site is Elton John, in the 70's he pulled out a Bowie releasing one great album after another. He hasn't done many interesting things since but with 8 albums (or so) been pretty consistent he is already a legend.
There are 2 Elton's the early seventies version and the M.O.R. Elton of the nineties onwards. The nine studio albums released between 1970-75 are his best. Later albums like Made In England,Songs From The West Coast and his album with Leon Russell are the best of the rest.
Solo por sus discos de los años 70 merece estar en un lugar más alto.
Elton John is a true icon!
Seems to be one of the more underrated artists/bands on this site. His earlier work was fantastic. Honky Chateau is especially underrated I think. Great from start to finish.
Had Elton John quit before he aligned himself with Disney, re-wrote the lyrics to "Candle in the Wind," suddenly grew hair, and opened the closet door, he'd be one of my all-time favorites. But, for almost twenty years now, he has lost his rocking edge and has slipped into easy-listening hell. Oh, how I miss the Elton John of the seventies. Still, his early body of work contains so much wonderful stuff that it can overshadow his later mess.

I agree with Alexandru, and will add my use-case where we are greatly suffer from such behavior. We use XForms as presentation layer that operates with XML data model. So when user open a new form and don't fill-up a field, data come back to the server as an empty tag, now when I transform this into JCR Property I have no chance to set it to null, so I am loosing the property. And when user want to see the data it missing the field (not just field is empty, but form has no field displayed) because JCR removed the property when I set it value to null. As you can see from this use-case and many others - null is a valid value and does not mean that property does not exist. To make use-case more interesting, let's move to medical world with integer property. Value from 0 to 10 mean bad and drugs has to be administer or patient will die, and null mean this case does not apply and drug must not be administer or patient will have good chances not to make to the end of the day. I am not saying that any med. system will rely just on the number, but it is a very important aspect of the system. -- Ivan Latysh firstname.lastname@example.com

Risk and Reason by Cass R. Sunstein
Book DescriptionWhat should be done about airplane safety and terrorism, global warming, polluted water, nuclear power, and genetically engineered food? All over the globe, risks to safety, health, and the environment are a subject of intense interest. Too much of the time we fear the wrong things. Sometimes we make the situation even worse. Rather than investigating the facts, we respond to temporary fears. The result is a situation of hysteria and neglect - and unnecessary illness and death. Risk and Reason explains the sources of these problems and explores what can be done about them. It shows how individual thinking and social interactions lead us in foolish directions. Offering sound proposals for social reform, it explains how a more sensible system of risk regulation, embodied in the idea of a 'cost-benefit state', could save many thousands of lives and many billions of dollars too - and protect the environment in the process.
