Facebook Adds TV Partners Overseas
The rivalry between Facebook and Twitter Inc. over social conversations around television shows is moving overseas.
Facebook Monday will disclose plans to provide data about its users' comments related to major television programs to 10 networks in eight countries, including France, the U.K., Germany, Brazil and India.
Stations like TF1 in France, Channel 4 in the U.K., ARD in Germany, Esporte Interativo in Brazil and STAR networks in India, plan to use the data to show advertisers that their programming is generating online buzz and conversation, potentially boosting the price of advertising.
Facebook recently began offering data to U.S. television networks and other media partners about users' posts related to their programming. Monday's announcement extends the initiative overseas, where Facebook believes it has an advantage over its competitors because of its international reach.
Facebook says 957 million, or 83% of its users, are outside the U.S. and Canada. That's more than five times the 169 million Twitter users outside the U.S.
Facebook's international move comes as media researcher Nielsen publishes for the first time details about Twitter activity regarding TV shows in the U.S. In August, Twitter announced a partnership with ad research and consulting firm Kantar Media to support planning and analytics for the U.K. television industry, a Twitter spokeswoman said.
Facebook already allows television broadcasters to use real-time public posts of users and broadcast them during live television events.
The new partnerships in the U.S. and overseas allow television stations to mine personal conversations between Facebook users – albeit in anonymous form – and get detailed information on how their audience is reacting to programming.
In prepared remarks provided to The Wall Street Journal ahead of a Monday speech in France, Dan Rose, vice president of partnerships for Facebook, said the data are valuable because they reflect the reactions of real people. Conversations about popular TV shows, he said, "are happening between friends, family members, co-workers and neighbors."
Rose, in his prepared remarks, pointed to television events, like the finale of the show Breaking Bad, the birth of Prince George, Game of Thrones, Downton Abbey and Wimbledon, that generated a lot of comments on Facebook.
When singer Miley Cyrus demonstrated the sexually suggestive dance move known as "twerking" during the MTV Video Music Awards in August, Rose said nine million people, representing 90% of viewers, generated 26 million interactions on Facebook. Last spring's NBA finals between the Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs generated 125 million interactions, he said
The new data program is still in its infancy, and it's unclear exactly how television networks will use the information.
Scott Symonds, managing director of media for online marketing firm AKQA, said television stations could use the data to show advertisers that TV shows are "creating ripples that last longer" than the initial programming.
Facebook's data could also help television stations break down audiences beyond simple age and gender demographics, he said. "It has your personal information," he says.
Soon, the conversations happening on social media could help shape television content itself.
Rose, in his prepared remarks, pointed to a 2010 campaign started on Facebook promoting actress Betty White as a host for Saturday Night Live.
Initially, the idea "seemed crazy to just about everyone," Rose said. But the campaign gained 500,000 "likes" on Facebook over two months. White hosted the show, which wound up as the highest-rated episode in two years, he said.
This post has been corrected. An earlier version said incorrectly that Facebook will provide networks with data related to user actions, including "likes" and "shares" about programming. Facebook will only provide data related to user comments and posts.

Giant Eco-Egg Skyscraper: A Conceptual Luxury Hotel
همراه با 11 عکس استثنایی
From the unseen, unsung files of design competitions past comes the Envision Green Hotel designed by Richard Moreta Architecture (founded by a partner of GMZ-Design) with interiors by Miami-based MRA Design for Hospitality Design's Radical Innovation design competition. Part wind tower, part urban eco-resort, and all egg, this "lobular" structure is touted as one of the most recognizable landmarks for the city in which it would ultimately be…laid. Inhabitat leaves it up to you to decide whether this is an egg-cellent idea or something not quite fully hatched
ادامه تصاویر و متن در ادامه مطلب ..
Operating like a living organism, the Envision literally breathes through its wind and atmospheric conversion systems, which allow natural air into the interior of the building without mechanical intervention. Photovoltaic exterior sheathing provides the building's energy, while indoor gardens at various levels of the structure act as upward extensions of the earth, creating mini-microclimates that filter the air and act as added insulation. Recycled pools of water around the structure serve as catch basins, water reservoirs, fire barriers, and indispensable decorative aquatic features. Power from the wind turbine heats the boiler and creates steam for the chiller water plant beneath the structure to cool and heat the hotel.
Within the hotel, rooms would be designed on a 4 foot multiple to conform to standard-sized materials and reduce construction waste. A high-efficiency LED system would illuminate the interiors, and non-toxic, non-off-gassing finishes would be employed. Besides the typical water-efficient fixtures, this eco resort would use recovered rainwater for flushing and irrigation. The rooms would also include a mood pad control unit that would allow each guest to control the lighting and choose groovy digital images that would reflect behind glass walls and ceilings

Bugatti Chiron In NYC For Private Show
The Bugatti Chiron made its debut last month at the Geneva Auto Show, but it was absent during the 2016 New York Motor Show in late March. Bugatti's new 1,480-horsepower hypercar will replace the Veyron.
Although the Chiron was not present during the NY Auto Show, it wasn't really far from the action as the same blue example shown in Geneva was spotted parked at the curb in the Big Apple according to Motor Authority.
The photo shown was posted on Facebook by a Bugatti Chiron fan. The hypercar's front trunk was even unlatched.
It wasn't clear why the Chiron was in New York when it didn't attend the motor show to begin with, but it was more likely there to be privately presented to prospective buyers who flocked in Manhattan for the NYIAS.
Chiron has been enjoying massive demand and orders. During the car's launch in Geneva last month, it claimed a third of the planned 500-unit production. The starting price is at 2.4 million Euros, in case you're interested. That's roughly $2.73 million.
With the price tag, Bugatti said the car is actually making a profit compared with the Veyron, which was rumored to have been selling at a loss.
The Chiron has an 8.0-liter W-16 engine with a two-stage turbocharging system. There are four turbos, with two designed to be always on while the two other are electrically actuated when the driver wants more acceleration.
That engine churns out 1,500 horsepower and 1,180 pound-feet of torque. It's more powerful than the Veyron, but the acceleration is just 2.5 seconds to 62 mph. the top speed is 260 mph, but Chiron is aiming for more with a "top speed more" that can be activated by a special key.
The company calls the headlights up front an "eight-eye face" with an active wing on the rear for the air brake. It also has 20-inch wheels on front and 21-inche wheels at the rear, as well as eight titanium brake pistons at the front and six at the rear.

Clearwater Systems Transforms Business Model: Offers Comprehensive Factory-Direct Service In Conjunction With Its Dolphin WaterCare® Non-Chemical Water Treatment Solution
Dolphin WaterCare to be Exhibitors at the 2013 International Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Exposition (AHR Expo) January 28-30, Dallas, Texas BOOTH #5112
Jan 22, 2013, 10:05 EST
MIDDLETOWN, Conn., Jan. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Clearwater Systems achieved a significant milestone towards making the built environment more sustainable by formally launching a fully integrated and comprehensive in-house service organization for Dolphin WaterCare® —an industry leading, non-chemical water treatment solution.
"We are thrilled to meet the needs of our growing global customer base through the successful creation of our Dolphin WaterCare service organization," stated Anupam Bhargava, CEO of Clearwater Systems. "Providing our customers with holistic water treatment service further demonstrates our commitment to non-chemical water treatment, an emerging best practice in the world of cooling water treatment and building resource efficiency."
The Dolphin WaterCare service organization delivers best-in-class, chemical-free water treatment that provides superior control of biological activity, scale, and corrosion. Dolphin WaterCare's compelling value proposition extends to provide maximum water efficiency and efficient heat transfer – the key elements of an optimized cooling system. The service organization consists of a trusted network of regionally deployed, factory trained technicians — with expertise in both water chemistry and HVACR equipment — as well as an expanding fleet of fully-equipped Dolphin WaterCare service vehicles that ensure technicians have all the tools and accessories required to handle any service situation. The group also provides in-depth reports detailing performance and water savings data along with optional remote monitoring for an additional level of visibility and peace of mind for Dolphin WaterCare customers.
The Dolphin WaterCare system is a proven and transformative solution that enables facilities to eliminate the risks and costs inherent in traditional, chemical-based water treatment such as: EH&S risks from chemical use, spills and exposure; valuable facility square-footage lost to chemical storage; inability to re-use blowdown water for greywater applications such as irrigation; and the environmental impact of the total chemical life-cycle from production and delivery through use and disposal.
"Now, with our service organization established, building owners and operators have a worry-free path to reducing hazardous chemicals in their facilities with a partner they can trust to deliver maximum economic and environmental benefits," added Bhargava. "We are poised to change how an industry operates and, in the process, make the built environment more sustainable."

It's seems to be a never-ending battle with these pool stains. Marie (MBAR) - maybe you can comment here?
I have a 10K IG FG pool.
Opened to a pretty stained pool a few weeks ago and tried 32oz of Metal Magic (MM). It cleared the stains mostly, but all re-appeared in a few days. So, I decided to try the ascorbic acid treatment.
So...After swimming was done on Labor Day, added 1lb of the Leslie's Stain treatment (ascorbic acid). Cl was .5. Added another 32oz of MM. Ran filter 24/7 for 2 days. All stains gone - pool looked great! Good news. Rebalanced Alk and Ph on Wed with Borax and Baking Soda and pool remained pretty good until today...
Today, I tested the water and the Ph was low (6.8). Added some borax (I sprinked it all in front of the return jets). After swimming in the pool a few hours I noticed the stains were back in a large area where I dumped the borax. The Cl was low today, 3.0, (CYA is 30). I know high Cl and high Ph can bring out the stains, but the Cl was low and so was the Ph, but perhaps adding about 3lbs of borax in one concentrated area made the stains come out? I'm wondering why the MM I put in the water on Monday is not doing its job - it's only been 6 days !! For the heck of it, I dumped a maintenance dose of MM in the water this evening, so I'll see if the stains retreat overnight.
Some other details - but I think they are not material: I want to raise my CYA, so I returned to using pucks early last week. But, if adding borax is going to bring my stains out, I'll go back to bleach, since the pucks are acidic and bring the Ph down. I hate using the pucks anyway because you can't measure exactly what's going into the pool, like bleach. But, I had leftover from last season (before BBB) and am trying to use them up.
OK - so I don't want to have to keep dumping MM in my water at $15/quart and buying A-Acid. Is there some truth to what I am thinking - that adding Borax to one area of the pool can increase the Ph of the water substantially in that section (at least for awhile), which would cause the stains to come re-appear (even in low Cl)?
Sure wish someone would invent something to remove metals from the water! The claim of MM that it does this is utter nonsense - but it does sequester the metal, at least for awhile. This seems to be the one drawback of a FG pool !

In the old days, a student with bad handwriting was told to become a doctor. In these days of computers and smartphones, how relevant is that old joke? Unfortunately, quite relevant, as paper records and a general lack of shareable medical information are thought by reformers to be a problem with American medicine.
This was demonstrated most vividly during the diaspora caused by the flooding of greater New Orleans after levees failed during Hurricane Katrina, and the subsequent evacuation of the Lake Charles area during Hurricane Rita later that dreadful summer of 2005.
Patients and doctors and pharmacies dispersed, Louisiana health officials under the leadership of Dr. Fred Cerise, then head of the Department of Health and Hospitals, improvised Internet sites and other responses to the crisis. Those events, and the looming crisis in medical costs for Medicare and Medicaid to federal and state government, not to mention rising premiums for private insurance, give added impetus to the need for change.
In light of the Katrina and Rita evacuations, it's appropriate that New Orleans takes the lead in sharing of electronic health records.
The Greater New Orleans Health Information Exchange includes 160 doctors at the LSU Interim Hospital and clinics including the Common Ground Health Clinic, the NO/AIDS Task Force and the Tulane Ruth Fertel Community Health Center. Together, they care for more than 250,000 patients. Other hospitals and clinics in New Orleans and across the state, including in Baton Rouge and Lafayette, are either participating in the project or working on getting linked into a similar statewide exchange.
The idea: reduce duplicate forms and tests, hospital readmissions and waits for specialist referrals. Patients' primary care physicians are automatically notified when a specialist or other doctor in the exchange treats them.
The idea of secure but accessible electronic medical records is one of the ways that reformers seek to deal with burgeoning health care costs. Among others, Gov. Bobby Jindal as a federal health care planner had promoted the idea, but it is a bipartisan enthusiasm.
It is important not to overstate the immediate cost savings, as errors and excessive tests or treatments are possible, even if the old issue of doctors' handwriting is avoided. But bringing medical facilities into the digital age is clearly a good idea, if only because the mobility of Americans — not to mention future evacuees in hurricanes or other disasters — means that patients may seek attention for medical problems when far from their homes.

The Owari next to my back door is starting to bloom. Smells marvelous!What rootstock/s are your trees on? How old are they?
Louisport, you have a great collection of citrus. Plus you have a second collection of four varites of different colored Finger Limes. Very impressive.
And fruits are so delicious! Here the sweet pomelo from Davao is amazing.Good luck and i hope in 6 months you will harvest great fruits
Check these :-)https://travellingartist.wordpress.com/2011/09/22/tropical-fruit-facts-and-legends-pomelo-%E2%80%93-the-fruit-of-reunion/http://www.enterdavao.com/2014/08/sweet-pomelo-from-davao.html
Magallanes variety the preferred variety of Filipinos for its very sweet and juicy dark pink flesh
Louisport, the Fausterime green finger lime isn't it the one with the double thorn growth. I used to have a fairly large Fausterine tree some year back. It is a real pincushion tree, with thorns absolutely everywhere. You have a very nice citrus collection.
My next aquisitions will be one yuzu, one tarocco blood orange, one hirado butan pomelo, one mato butan pomelo and one buda hands tree... any sugestions?
Your getting quite a collection. What variety is the four seasons lemon.
The variegated lemon is quite common in the USA. The tree is very ornamental, but the variegated lemon does not produce big crops.
Luis, that wonderful pomelo in full blossom that you pictured last april has fruits already?
I want to hask if anyone know if dekopon is the same as sumo orange.
Quote from: Luisport on December 29, 2017, 08:35:55 AMI want to hask if anyone know if dekopon is the same as sumo orange. Yes it is.
I just got one tangelo minneola and my second cara cara orange...
Congratulations Luis!I know the feeling of harvesting the first fruit from a beloved tree :-)
Louis your becoming a nursery.

Chat The shortest day is behind us so we can start to look forward to the beginning of the season – OK it's still a while away, but time flies…unfortunately! And I hope you all enjoyed the festive season. Sorry I couldn't make the Christmas Party – that must be the second year I've missed it. Need to earn a crust and all that. And as it's the season of good cheer, I can't find anything to rant about – which makes writing the chat all the more difficult. I was reading something on t'internet earlier that explains how it is that even though 21st December is the shortest day, the mornings don't start to get lighter earlier until the 2nd of January – all to do with technical stuff like the fact that a day isn't actually exactly 24 hours long. Confused? I was until I thought about it. So I've worked out that we need to do the prize-giving at our shows 15 seconds earlier than we actually do, and that should stop everyone getting wet at the critical moment. Those of you that know that I spend far too much time in London will understand that I have now totally lost it and should be committed at the earliest opportunity… Looks like there could be one or two interesting developments in the coming year, but I can't say too much yet (as I don't actually know what they are myself!) – but keep a look out for new stuff as and when we organise it.

On this occasion we were allotted a full car parking area for our classic car display. The route into the site had been changed at the last minute so new direction signs were quickly re allocated for the new way in. Other than that all went well without any further technical hitch…. As each car arrived they were parked up and issued with the program of events for the day …..here is a small list of the attractions :Hot Street food, lantern parade, various choirs, Santa's Grotto, Street entertainers, Victorian re enactment groups, Fair ground, Roast chestnuts & mulled wine, White Shire horses & white carriage on parade with of course Father Christmas ….and that's not all ...

Mrs Crosby attending to the afore mentioned program distribution and issuing the club magazine to the general public who again showed great interest in our display, and on the strength of this one or two may have signed up and joined the club…… At half time we were able to enjoy some of the activities and catch a little lunch ….The street food was very enjoyable and street entertainers brilliant….Marie Lloyd and all that…. great day. We were informed that a program of Summer activities was being planned for 2015 such as a 1940's weekend, The Canal Beer and Music Festival and others all of which we are cordially invited to join in as a club. I am sure we can bear some of this in mind for our next years calendar So as the light started to fail it was time to pack up and give our thanks to the organisers for the invitation to an exceptional great seasonal event. Hears hoping they had a Merry Christmas & looking forward to Prosperous New Year . R.

Return of the Black Finger nail Here we are again folks with some dam good handy hints…. for 2015 How to drill rubber ??? Drilling a piece of rubber as you may know can be difficult especially when the piece winds itself round the drill bit and lashes out to anybody standing nearby… A recommended solution is to rub a little Vaseline on it and use a small diameter piece of copper pipe as a drill bit ... And according to the expert as stated it makes a lovely round hole… { Diagram for illustrative purposes only} { and if it was me I'd try it on summat that didn't matter first } Strike –A– Light Burst radiator ….a get you home remedy ...a box of matches.... First strike a match, this enables you to see were the leak is if it's a dark night and also provides the repairing medium, by which...please follow these procedures… Firstly force the match into the hole in the radiator, whittling the match to a point if necessary. When wet the match should now begin to expand so making a tight fit in the offending hole ...thus stemming the flow...Top up radiator from wind screen washer bottle and you could safely say you are on your way home ??

FBHVC Below are various extracts from the current FBHVC news letter which stands for the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs an organization that supports classis car clubs that we feel maybe of interest. Discontinuance of the Tax Disc: The tax disc is no more. We think it important also to remind everyone that a seller should never part with the V5C/2 tear off until the sale is complete and he has the buyer's money. Another unsatisfactory aspect was that we were not able to see the online taxing process before it was introduced. Now it has appeared, our concern that the printable document resulting from online taxation would not satisfy overseas law enforcement officers as evidence that the vehicle is in fact taxed has proved correct. We will continue to press for a more convincing final output of the online process. FUEL NEWS by Matthew Vincent Ethanol-free petrol: what are the prospects? For those who aspire to an ethanol-free life (as far as their historic vehicles are concerned, that is) and wish to use exclusively petrol which does not contain ethanol in their historic vehicles, some recent developments may be of interest. Firstly, British Motor Heritage (BMH), a company more commonly associated with accurate replicas of 1960s British car body-shells, has launched a UK supply of petrol guaranteed to be ethanol-free. This initiative has been fairly widely publicized in the media in recent weeks, but to summarise: BMH will offer two grades of 100 octane quality petrol, i.e. with or without lead. The fuels will be offered in two different volume containers, the smaller of just under 19 litres, or just over four imperial gallons, while the larger container is the industry standard drum of 205 litres nominal volume (45 imperial gallons). This takes us on to the final issue: how much petrol can be stored at home? This used to be a bit of a thorny issue, with cases of people hoarding petrol during supply difficulties resulting in a successful prosecution on at least one occasion. Fortuitously however, new petrol regulations have just been published under the heading of 'The Petroleum (Consolidation) Regulations 2014 (PCR)'. The PCR came into effect on 1 October 2014, which dovetails neatly with the announcement by BMH of their new offering. For full chapter and verse on the legal issues and requirements it is best to seek out details of the PCR on the internet. However, a brief inspection reveals an approach which might be regarded as surprisingly helpful to those desiring to avoid ethanol in their petrol. In brief, up to 30 litres of petrol may be stored in either suitable containers, or a demountable petrol tank, without the need to notify the authorities, provided the total volume of petrol stored does not exceed 30 litres. The reference to a 30 litre demountable petrol tank covers the limitation on the volume of additional fuel which may be carried on or in a historic vehicle, over and above the fuel contained in a full petrol tank, to increase its range. If it is desired to store a greater volume, up to 275 litres can be stored provided certain requirements are complied with. To store a drum (205 litres) of ethanol-free petrol for example, would require an Individual to notify the local Petroleum Enforcement Agency (PEA) in writing. Storage requirements do not appear to be unduly restrictive, but would need to be clarified formally with the PEA. It would appear therefore that in principle, the bare bones of a strategy which could allow owners of historic vehicles to run them on ethanol-free petrol, and to overcome the range-limiting difficulties which this might imply, are at hand. As ever though, the devil is in the detail, and all those wishing to store ethanol-free petrol at home should check out the relevant regulatory documents to ensure both compliance with the law, and commonsense safe practice. The new regulations may be found on the following link. www.hse.gov.uk/ fireandexplosion/petroleum-regulations-2014. YTCC Committee Meeting round up The December committee meeting had one apology and main topics were:- different venues for club stands will be confirmed, as far as possible, for the year at the January meeting. These will appear in the following months' Hornblower. The possible Tadcaster Brewery show is looking more likely and we are talking to the organisers to firm up arrangements should this go ahead. This was the first meeting for our new Web Master Stuart Avison and you will hear more from him regarding the website in due course. The other change to the committee is Keith Parker who is now Social Secretary. The dates for our 2015 shows are: Crow Nest 04/05, Locke Park 14/06, Locke Park 09/08, Wilton Park 06/09, Crow Nest 24/10. Dates for your diary. There was a discussion on an alternative venue for the Wilton Park event which takes place in September and when details are confirmed we will let you know via the Hornblower. Please remember to give us feedback good or bad.
