Nintendo makes voice chat less of a disaster on Switch
Nintendo has rolled out an update for the Switch Online app that might finally make it usable. See, unlike what Sony and Microsoft did for the PlayStation and the Xbox, Nintendo has chosen to put its new console's chat functions in a separate app for Android and iOS. Unfortunately, it was clearly not ready upon launch and suffered from a bunch of serious issues, including not being able to use another app on your phone -- not even to check important texts and calls -- if you don't want to get kicked off a voice chat. Your screen also has to be on the whole time you're chatting with friends, which could drain your phone's battery. This update solves both problems.

Hope it's way warmer now! We're with the AC full blast right now; it's so hot!

Excited to announce that I've added a couple of new workshops to my August roster, in addition to the upcoming glass-etching workshop on August 27th. I'll be teaching two workshops on terrarium-building on August 14th and 23rd! These two classes will focus on how to create sustainable tropical ecosystems under glass, with step-by-step instruction and tips on keeping your terrariums beautiful long-term. Attendees will get to personalize their terraria, and we'll use truly unique glass vessels (no fishbowls here!) to build in. Very excited to offer this class at the Presentation School Foundation in Brighton, as previously, I've only offered it and Brookline Adult and Community Education and Newton Community Education. If you live in the Greater Boston area, or will be on August 14th or 23rd, join in! You have to pre-register to attend, register here.
This Sunday, I'll be exhibiting at SOWA Boston, debuting some new pieces. I've created new terrarium ornaments, botanical-gilded lanterns, terrarium shadow boxes and botanical-etched decanters. SOWA is open from 10 AM – 4 PM on Sunday, and is free to attend (it costs $10 to park, but you can use the parking voucher at any of the vendor booths!)


text: For a band that started out as a purely instrumental outfit in 1988, it is of some note that The Cruel Sea went on to become one of Australia's most popular outfits. The catalyst was singer Tex Perkins, who initially joined on a part-time basis in 1989, to add his broad brushstroke lyrics to the band's swelling melodies. Later on, with Perkins on board as a full-time member, the band gained widespread acclaim. The original Cruel Sea line-up grew out of Sydney independent band Sekret Sekret. Fronted by singer David Virgin (ex-Broken Toys, Ugly Mirrors), Sekret Sekret itself grew out of the late 1970s Sydney punk scene centred around the Grand Hotel. The band played a sprightly brand of punky power pop with psychedelic overtones. Sekret Sekret issued four independent singles, `Charity'/`Hope You Can' (June 1980), `New King Jack'/`Moose Beach' (December 1980), `Girl with a White Stick'/`Chimes' (June 1984) and `Just to Love You'/`Waterbirds' (October 1984), before breaking up in 1987. Under the name of David Verjin, frontman Virgin later issued an interesting folk/country album, Landlord Green (1991), which included guitar contributions from Danny Rumour. The Cruel Sea took its name from a song by 1960s US surf instrumental band The Ventures (it was also the title of the novel by Nicholas Monsarrat). The original line-up was short-lived and Rumour and Elliott recruited Ken Gormly (bass; ex-Sekret Sekret) and James Cruickshank (keyboards, guitar; ex-Widdershins, Neil Murray and the Rainmakers). For a time, Rumour and his compatriots were content to explore their own instrumental surf sound (epic rather than twangy), but at the start of 1989, Perkins began joining the band on stage. It was not without irony that the band's atmospheric music evoked the feel of wide open spaces, yet they commanded a fanatical following on the Sydney inner-city pub circuit. The band signed to the Red Eye label and Perkins sang on the 12-inch EP `Down Below' (September 1989) and the band's debut album, Down Below (December). Due to his commitments to Beasts of Bourbon at that stage, however, he was precluded from becoming fully involved. The singles `I Feel'/`Help Me' (September 1991), the CD EPs 4 x 4 (March 1992) and `This is Not the Way Home' (August 1992) plus the album This is Not the Way Home (December 1991) followed. This is Not the Way Home garnered critical acclaim and was an indication of things to come. The music ranged from funky Louisiana swamp blues to sweet soul, with Perkins' laconic vocals recalling the spirit of Captain Beefheart, Tony Joe White and John Lee Hooker in the process. With the release of This is Not the Way Home, The Cruel Sea embarked on a European tour supporting Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. With the suspension of Beasts of Bourbon activities in early 1993, Perkins was able to join The Cruel Sea as a full-time member. This new-found unity resulted in the classic album The Honeymoon is Over (May 1993), which yielded the singles `Black Stick' (December 1992), `The Honeymoon is Over' (July 1993), a cover of Tony Joe White's `Woman with Soul' (October) and `Seems Twice' (February 1994). `Black Stick' reached #25 on the national charts during May, and `The Honeymoon is Over' peaked at #41 in August. The Honeymoon is Over made its debut at #4 on the mainstream charts, eventually reaching the coveted #1 spot (and selling over 140 000 copies in the process). On the album, Perkins dubbed himself the `Delivery Man'. The super funky `The Honeymoon is Over' went on to log a #9 placing on Triple J's 1993 Hottest 100 list (the highest placing for an Australian band that year). At the 1993 Australian Record Industry Association (ARIA) Awards ceremony, The Cruel Sea took out the honours for the Best Group, Best Album (The Honeymoon is Over), Best Single and Song of the Year (`The Honeymoon is Over'). The Cruel Sea ended 1994 with another tour throughout Europe supporting Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, followed by their own headlining jaunt across Europe and Canada. Four singles were lifted from the band's second #1 album, Three Legged Dog (November 1994), `Better Get a Lawyer' (#29 in January 1995), `Just a Man' (#39 in April), `Anybody but You' (#49 in July) and `Too Fast for Me' (August). The band commenced 1995 by supporting The Rolling Stones on their massive Voodoo Lounge tour of Australia. Following the release of The Honeymoon is Over in Europe (on Polydor) and the USA (on A&M), the band then undertook its third overseas tour. The Cruel Sea completed another successful year with its second award for Best Group at the 1995 ARIA ceremony. Rock'n'Roll Duds (November 1995) mopped up a batch of B-sides, demos and studio out-takes. The band toured constantly until early 1996, after which Perkins completed his solo album, Far be It from Me and reactivated Beasts of Bourbon. At the start of 1997, The Cruel Sea returned to its instrumental roots (sans Perkins) for a series of gigs, including an appearance at the Sydney leg of the Big Day Out tour. With the break-up of the Beasts later in the year, Perkins rejoined The Cruel Sea. The Cruel Sea's new CD single, 'Hard Times' (February 1998), matched the raucous swagger of previous band efforts like 'The Honeymoon is Over'. It was a taster for the forthcoming album, Over Easy. Co-produced by Phil McKeller and Daniel Denholm, the album came out in July, peaking at #10 on the national chart. It produced two more singles, 'Takin' All Day' (May) with its summery pop groove, and 'You'll Do' (August). The band undertook the Takin' All Day national tour throughout May, after which Tex Perkins embarked on a solo tour during July, backed by Charlie Owen (guitar; ex-New Christs, Beasts of Bourbon), Jim Elliott, Ken Gormly and Joel Silbersher (from Hoss). The Cruel Sea was back on tour again throughout August and September. After spending most of 1998 on tour in support of Over Easy, The Cruel Sea was quiet for most of 1999. With the new compilation The Most (The Best of the Cruel Sea) out in September, the band was back on the road again throughout October and November. With 22 tracks and over 78 minutes of music, The Most was one of the best compilations of its type. It was released simultaneously with a batch of 'Best Of' sets, comprising The Clouds' Favourites, Beasts of Bourbon's Beyond Good and Evil, and Dave Graney 'n' the Coral Snakes' The Baddest. The Most also included the new single, 'It Won't Last' (September). The single logged the #52 placement on the 1999 Triple J Hottest 100 list. Tex Perkins went on to record his second solo album Dark Horses in July 2000 and extensive touring ensued for the best part of a year to sell out crowds around Australia. The album was brilliantly received by media and public alike with a string of 10 out of 10 reviews in the press. After a break, The Cruel Sea got back together to record the album Where There's Smoke at Rocking Horse Studios in Byron Bay. Where There's Smoke was released September 3, 2001 with a National chart debut at Number 25. The album was preceeded by a PROCD single to radio "A Simple Goodbye" and followed with the release of the limited edition single "No Choice". The video for "No Choice" featured a cameo appearance of the flamboyant celebrity chef Bernard King. After constant touring throughout 2001 as well as appearing at the Livid Festival and headlining Hootenanny, The Cruel Sea yet again embarked on a National tour throughout February/ March 2002. In the midst of touring, they managed to take a break and retreat to Tex's property up North where they recorded a collection of b-sides, rarities and covers. "We Don't Work, We Play Music" is a fantastic collection of tracks that see's the band in their element with fantastic instrumentals and their unique guitar sounds grafted with a soul groove flavour that is integral to their overall sound.

|Pulling more docs into update handler
|Tue, 15 Oct 2013 20:56:03 GMT
How bad of an idea would it be to add some parameter like include_doc to the update_handler that takes a doc Id..and that doc I'd gets included in the parameters. So the the method signature would be. function ( doc, req, included) Where included is either one doc or an array or docs....( depending on how it gets implemented). I just think it would be invaluable to have such power in an update handler.. But honestly one doc would be enough for me

Sourdough Stuffing Muffins with Apple and Fresh Herbs
Super cute and perfectly portioned, these vegan-friendly stuffing muffins are a fantastic addition to your holiday table.
Use rosemary-infused olive oil for added depth of flavor. Prefer your stuffing a little on the sweet side? Swap out half of the sourdough for cornbread.
Sourdough Stuffing Muffins with Apple and Fresh Herbs
- 8 cups cubed sourdough bread ( 1/2 sage cornbread for additional sweetness)
- 2T olive oil
- 1/2 cup vegan butter
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 cup yellow onion, diced
- 4 celery stalks, cut in half lengthwise and sliced
- 1 large McIntosh or Gala apple, cored and diced
- 1/2 tsp. sea salt
- 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
- 1T fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1T fresh sage, chopped
- 2 tsp. fresh thyme leaves
- 2 cups vegetarian chicken broth
- salt and pepper, to taste
- Begin by preheating the oven to 350° and spreading cubed sourdough in a single layer onto a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake 15-20 minutes, until lightly toasted.
- Set bread aside and increase oven heat to 375°
- In a large skillet over medium high heat, add olive oil, butter, bay leaf, onion, celery, apple, salt, pepper, rosemary, sage, and thyme. Cook, stirring frequently, 5-6 minutes, until vegetables and apple are crisp tender. Add sourdough and stir to combine.
- Gradually pour in broth until all bread is soft.
- Remove bay leaf and scoop stuffing into a prepared 12-cup muffin tin. Bake 25-30 minutes, until lightly crispy on top. Serve warm or room temperature.

The get inspired for today is coloured jeans and this is something I've been wanting to talk about to you for a while now. I have been seeing these colourful jeans everywhere these days. It is such a big fashion trend and the good thing is that it is super fun and easy to add to your personal style.
This trend is great but there are some things to look out for. Since these jeans bring allot of attention to the legs, for girls with bigger thighs, can wear this trend paired with a more loose fitting top to balance out the look. Other than that you can go and have fun experimenting with this trend. If you are not so outgoing with colours you can keep the jeans as the centre piece of your outfit and pair it with neutral tones. However if you want to go all out with the colours you can try colour blocking with these funky jeans. To be very in-trend you can even try these in candy colours! The cute "folding the bottom of the jeans" can be great to add an extra charm.

PopCap yesterday announced that the sequel to one of its most popular titles of all time, Plants vs. Zombies, will be released later than previously intended. Plants vs. Zombies 2 will now be available "later in the summer". The iOS version of the game was previously planned to launch on 18 July, with other platform releases to follow.
PopCap did not provide a reason for the delay, but the developer did apologise: "We're sorry for the delay, but want to make sure the game lives up to fans' expectations."
"Stay tuned for more details."
If you're wondering what PopCap has planned for the sequel, then you may be pleased to learn that it will feature pirates, ancient Egypt, and the Wild West. The art style has also been revamped, and we can expect "all-new touch power-ups," that will allow players to jab zombies with their fingers to kill them directly. If you missed the official reveal trailer you can find it after the jump.

Coma Blister (Comma bullae, drug-induced coma blisters, barbiturate blisters, neurologic blisters)
Coma Blisters
Comma bullae, drug-induced coma blisters, barbiturate blisters, neurologic blisters
Are You Confident of the Diagnosis?
What you should be alert for in the history
Be alert for an immoblized patient with bullae formation at pressure sites.
Characteristic findings on physical examination
Characteristic findings include blisters or bullae at sites of pressure (
Figure 1.
Tense hemorrhagic blisters on the patient's fingers and toes. (From: Rocha J, Pereira T, Ventura F, Pardal F, Brito C. Coma blisters. Case Report Dermatol 2009; 1:66-70)
Expected results of diagnostic studies
Histopathology reveals a subepidermal blister with eccrine gland necrosis (
Figure 2.
Intraepidermal blister and necrotic epidermis with mild inflammatory infiltrate. H&E, X40. (From Rocha J, Pereira T, Ventura F, Pardal F, Brito C. Coma blisters. Case Report Dermatol 2009; 1:66-70)
Diagnosis confirmation
Friction blisters. Found primarily on the hands and soles. Blisters develop at sites of friction. Histopathology reveals intraepidermal blisters below the granular layer.
Edema blisters. These can appear during an acute exacerbation of chronic edema such as occurs with congestive heart failure, acute aggressive fluid resuscitation, and in the setting of anasarca. Blisters are found at the sites of edema. Histopathology reveals epidermal spongiosis and dermal edema.
Bullous diabeticorum. Acral sites can develop blisters in patients with longstanding diabetes mellitus. Histopathology reveals intraepidermal and subepidermal blisters.
Who is at Risk for Developing this Disease?
Those at risk for coma blister include comatose patients, those with neurologic disease (eg, stroke, spinal cord disease or injury, peripheral nerve disease, encephalitis, or brain tumor, and those suffering prolonged immobilization for various reasons, including drug overdose, hypoglycemia, head trauma, or diabetic ketoacidosis from drug overdose or from postsurgical immobilization.
What is the Cause of the Disease?
Coma blisters are caused by pressure leading to local hypoxia and necrosis. It was once believed to be associated with barbiturate overdose, by way of direct toxic affect on the eccrine glands leading to necrosis. Additional drugs have been implicated as well. Drug overdose remains a frequent predisposing factor for the formation of coma blisters, although coma blisters are no longer believed to be due to the toxic effect of the drug.
Historically, coma blisters were believed to be due to carbon monoxide poisoning. The first coma blisters were reported in 1806 when they were found on soldiers comatose from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Systemic Implications and Complications
There are no systemic Implications associated with coma blisters. Typically, there are no complications since they spontaneously resolve. However, care must be taken to mobilize the patient so they do not develop pressure ulcerations. It is also important to perform good wound care to prevent infection. ]
Treatment Options
Treatment focuses on wound care: sterile drainage of bullae, leaving the roof intact to act as a dressing, and hydrocolloid dressings.
Optimal Therapeutic Approach for this Disease
The optimal therapeutic approach includes prompt diagnosis, mobilization and wound care (sterile drainage of bullae, leaving the roof intact to act as a dressing,, and hydrocolloid dressings).
Patient Management
Patient management focuses on prompt diagnosis, mobilization and wound care (sterile drainage of bullae, leaving the roof intact to act as a dressing, and hydrocolloid dressings). When evaluating and treating patients with coma blisters, it is important to rule out unusual cases of bullous disease including bullous amyloidosis, epidermolysis bullosa (ie, Weber-Cockayne subtype), epidermolysis bullosa acquisita, and bullous pemphigoid.
Unusual Clinical Scenarios to Consider in Patient Management
When evaluating and treating patients with coma blisters, it is important to rule out unusual cases of bullous disease including bullous amyloidosis, epidermolysis bullosa (ie, Weber-Cockayne subtype), epidermolysis bullosa acquisita, and bullous pemphigoid.

J Invest Dermatol . vol. 60. 1973. pp. 312-20.(This article discusses the history of coma blisters and presents seven cases to demonstrate that coma blisters are a result of pressure-induced ischemia and anoxia rather than direct toxic effect from a drug or other endogenous substance.)

Case Report Dermatol. vol. 1. 2009. pp. 66-70.(This article reports a case of a young man admitted to the hospital for presumed bacterial meningitis who quickly declined to a comatose state. He developed blisters that were clinically and histologically consistent with coma blisters. He was treated successfully and the blisters resolved with no sequelae after 5 days. This article discusses how his new onset diabetes could lead to a differential diagnosis including bullous diabeticorum.)

It explains that the continued use of barbiturates is not contraindicated in this setting. This article also reports a case of coma blisters showing histology characteristically demonstrating eccrine gland necrosis of involved tissue.)

About the Collection of Learning Resources for Environmental Toxicology
The resources archived on this website serve to support a two-tiered (i.e., undergraduate and graduate) course in Environmental Toxicology (BIOL 4517 & 6517) taught in person on the campus of California State University, East Bay (Hayward, California, USA) by Dr. Caron Inouye in the Department of Biological Science. The field of environmental toxicology advances at a rapid pace, so traditional textbooks become somewhat outdated rather rapidly. In addition, I have not found a textbook that adequately aligns to the teaching and learning objectives of my course. Therefore, in addition to my course presentations, learning assignments, and in-class discussions & activities, students use the resources I've posted on this website. All resources are open access. This website is a work-in-progress and is an outcome of an Alternative Learning Solutions faculty award (CSUEB).
Please contact me if you have suggestions, feedback, and/or other resources to share.
Course Prerequisites
Students must have successfully passed an upper-level course in animal and/or human physiology (e.g. BIOL 3151) and a full year of general chemistry (e.g CHEM 1101-2-3). Organic chemistry and particularly biochemistry are strongly recommended.
Course Scope/Objectives
The overarching objective of this course is to provide students with a solid understanding of the toxicology of pervasive environmental pollutants. The course builds on and reinforces the fundamentals of animal physiology and chemistry to provide a deeper understanding of the key physiological responses of wildlife and humans to certain environmental contaminants. In addition, this course includes covers how environmental toxicants are assessed for risk, monitored, and regulated. Students engage in ongoing discussions on the unsustainable practices contributing to environmental pollution, the global impact of, and possible solutions to anthropogenic pollution.
Course Learning Outcomes

HONIARA, Solomon Islands—After two weeks of festivity, the cultural extravaganza that is the 11th Festival of Pacific Arts came to a close in Honiara on Friday, July 13, 2012.
Delegations from 20 Pacific countries and territories and from the nine provinces of host country, Solomon Islands, will donned their national regalia for the official closing ceremony. Solomon Islands'Governor General, Sir Frank Kabui, and Prime Minister, Mr Gordon Darcy Lilo, were expected to speak at the closing of an event that has seen this small capital and a number of outer islands transformed into a cultural mecca for two weeks.
Solomon Islanders, like Steward Uriumaikeni from Malaita Island, spoke of their pride in hosting the four-yearly regional arts and cultural event for the first time. For Uruimaikeni and many others, the highlight was seeing 'different people and cultures together in Honiara', where the population surged from around 90,000 to some 110,000 during the festival. For overseas visitors, the open spirit of their Solomon Islands hosts made a lasting impression –as did the country's rich and diverse arts and cultural heritage, which was on display everywhere they turned.
Founded by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) 40 years ago, the Festival of Pacific Arts has become an important regional cultural institution, bringing Pacific people together every four years to share their traditional arts such as weaving, carving, music and dance.
Contemporary forms of artistic expression are also finding a place at the festival, which this year included a film festival, photographic and art exhibitions and fashion shows.
Alongside this colourful spectacle, a number of high-level meetings were held to discuss the pressing issues that face the region's cultural sector. Meeting for only the second time ever, Pacific Ministers of Culture endorsed a ten-year regional cultural strategy, which sets directions for the development of the sector at both national and regional levels. In addition, the first cultural rights symposium for the Pacific brought together several of the region's forward-thinkers on culture to discuss cultural rights in the Pacific and intellectual property and traditional knowledge.
Guam will host the next Festival of Pacific Arts in 2016.

I think that it's fair to say that we all started the New Year off with a list of do's and don'ts on our resolution list. Well at the top of my list this year was to eat healthier for both myself and my family, which I have absolute control over considering I buy and prepare all the food we consume (*insert sinister chuckle). That being said, cooking healthier doesn't mean that you have to sacrifice taste, and this recipe is proof of exactly how tasty and easy healthy food can be.
This recipe requires literally zero cleanup. All the components cook inside the foil pouch, and once finished cooking, the pouch can simply be tossed away. The garlic, olive oil, tomatoes, lemon, and salt and pepper combine in the pouch to bathe everything in a slightly acidic yet mellow broth. Make sure to slice the potatoes very thin to ensure they have enough time to cook through with the rest of the ingredients. I used 3 salmon filets to prepare this dish for my family of 4, and it was plenty of food for us.
Let's all get healthier together in 2014! Happy eating!
- 3 boneless, skinless salmon fillets, preferably wild caught
- 2 cups very thinly sliced potatoes (such as fingerling or small new potatoes)
- 1½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 cups packed baby spinach
- 3 tbsp capers
- 6 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
- Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, smashed
- 6 lemon slices
- Preheat the oven to 400. Lay one large piece of aluminum foil (about 14 inches long) horizontally, the lay another large piece of foil vertically over the first foil layer to make a plus-sign shape; top with another horizontal layer for extra protection.
- Put the potato slices, tomatoes, spinach, capers, two teaspoons olive oil, and one-fourth teaspoon each salt and pepper in the center of the foil packet; toss to combine. Top with the salmon; sprinkle with the remaining one teaspoon olive oil, the lemon juice, and one-fourth teaspoon salt. Put the garlic clove and lemon slices on top of the salmon. Fold in the foil, and tightly seal the packet.
- Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and roast 20 to 25 minutes or until the salmon is opaque. Remove from the oven. Open the foil packet. Be careful, the escaping steam will be hot! Check salmon and potatoes for doneness. Transfer to a plate or eat directly out of the foil packet for easier cleanup.

The grand old dame of Serviceton, the Serviceton Railway Station.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
On any given day several cars will follow the heritage maroon signs off the Western Highway and drop in to Serviceton to see the grand train station that once stood on the border between Victoria and South Australia.
But the train enthusiasts and heritage buffs can only admire the bricks and mortar and imagine the inside.
While the West Wimmera Shire council are renegotiating the lease of the building with owner VicTrack, visitors are not allowed.
The council says the insurance and maintenance costs are simply too high.
The station, which has its own dungeon and mortuary room, was completed in 1889 and stands on the original border between the colonies of South Australia and Victoria.
A surveying error resulted in incorrectly placed border markers and since 1913 Serviceton has legally been wholly Victorian.
The town is named after Victorian Premier James Service.
Secretary of the Serviceton Railway Station committee of management Angela Heinrich, says it's disappointing to have to turn visitors away.
"We have a local chap Ron Milligan who comes up whenever he sees anyone pull into the railway station and he's happy to take them through."
"A lot of former employees' children or employees themselves call in to have a look to see what's happened to the building since they left because the railway station has been closed since 1986.
"There's a lot of disappointed people who can't come in and have a look."
Angela says the construction work being done at the station meant that tours had to stop even before the lease matters arose.
But the works are necessary, with large cracks forming in the building as one side slowly sank as a result of water building up around the foundations.
Angela says the water has been a problem for many years but the cause was only recently uncovered.
"When the toilet system went from pans to a septic... they had actually cut in through the drainage pipework... so that's why the eastern end has had so much water through the base of it.
"It's only from these fellows that they've actually dug down deep enough and found what the real problem has been.
"The water problem has been there for many, many years but [notice was only taken] when the southern wall started to move and drop away - there's a huge crack in the kitchen that happened in about 2004."
Representatives from VicTrack are expected to attend the West Wimmera Shire Council meeting on June 16 to discuss the lease.

Internet research - recruitment
Internet research always seems so easy and cost effective. There are no interviewers to pay, no printing costs and everything can be controlled from your desk.
However, getting hold of people whilst managing respondent's rights to privacy and without spamming is a very important consideration. And what of the quality of the survey when the respondent arrives at your site? Would you like your top customers blasted with an email inviting them to a tatty Frontpage built site?
SurveyGarden is our dedicated on-line research facility for hosting our own and third party questionnaires.
Recruitment seems simple - get a list of emails an mail everyone. Unfortunately, spamming as this is known is not going to be well received by those receiving the email. In addition, if you are looking for a particular selection of people, it can be difficult to know if details on the email list truly represent the people you are interested in. Secondly, you need to consider how people will react coming to your survey - what impression does it leave of your company? On the Internet people drop out quickly of badly designed surveys. Care must be taken over survey design as well as contact.
Like other forms of research, Internet research relies on a sampling method, but unlike other forms of sampling, Internet response is more difficult to control and is sometimes referred disparagingly as convenience sampling since it depends on who is around and willing to take part at the time.
Increasingly, the difficulty with pop-ups means that individuals are being contacted by emails and asked take parts in web-based surveys where it is easier to control and verify the content of the responses given. Under market research codes of conduct, the emails used have to have been opt-in lists to avoid accusations of spamming. Most sample is provided via online panels such as GMI or Toluna. These companies hold databanks of several million people who have opted in to take part in research. There used to be questions about representativeness of these panels, but these have issues have become hidden somewhat through use.
For specialist markets, an alternative solution is to use an off-line list, for instance your own database, or to build a list of willing participants on the Web (for instance via a Pop-up survey), or through telephone contact. Using your own lists is often an excellent solution for business-to-business research where traditional forms of contact are largely restricted to telephone surveys. But if you do have to resort to a telephone call to invite someone to take part, often it would be more effective just to complete the interview on the phone.
One word of warning on using your own lists, as it can be extremely difficult to keep the list up-to-date. In business markets for instance contact turnover can be as much as 25% per year. This means that unless you are regularly managing and using the lists you have they can quickly run out of date. And if you are buying lists from third parties, you do have to be careful with the age of the data.
An alternative which can be very effective for special interest or community groups is a snow-ball approach. In a snowball a small number of active people are invited and asked to pass details of the survey on to their contacts. We have used this very effectively in the sports arena, using a network of participants and volunteers to pass the survey details around to their friends and other participants, eventually reaching a sample size of around 800.
An additional factor which needs to be considered is that you may have to incentivise people to participate. Free prize draws are very common (even to the point of being off-putting now), and panels often use a points system allocating points to those that take part in the research which can be exchanged for products later.
Naturally, once recruited, you need to collect the information. Survey design should be an important consideration as there will be a drop out rate from those starting the survey as they go through the questionnaire. In addition the quality of the design itself will greatly reflect on the commissioning business..
Several companies look at community groups or social media as potential sample source, looking to place questions within discussion groups or to use the community groups as a place to recruit potential respondents. Having had the advantage of a dedicated users newsgroup when working as a research buyer there are some pluses to this approach.
However, whilst there are plenty of places on-line which will be discussing your company and topics of interest to your business, the people posting on these areas are typically very unrepresentative of customers as a whole. They will more typically be expert users and often have very specific issues and requirements that are not suitable for a wider audience.
Consequently, an alternative is to create your own community group for research which can then be tested and seeded providing feedback in real time when required and enabling the community to develop it's own ideas, materials and questionnaires to help inform the business.

Cast: Michelle Yeoh, David Thewlis
Director: Luc Besson
Summary: A biopic of Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi and the heartrending choice she had to make about whether to return to England and nurse her husband who was dying of cancer, or to carry on fighting for democracy in Burma where the controlling military junta had grown paranoid about her popular support.
From Dark Horizons: "Luc Besson's biopic of current Burmese opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi has been shot under top secret conditions in Paris, Bangkok and the UK. As time and production winds on though, it's becoming hard for Besson to keep his film a secret. A release for this Fall in the UK is already locked in though, which means the attention will only become more focused from here on out."
Director Besson talks of what compelled him to tell her story:
"It is the fight of a woman without any weapons, just her kindness and her mentality. [Suu Kyi] is very Gandhi like. She says we should have the right to decide our future, we should have the right to express ourselves. She is asking for things we all have and don't even think about any more.
How often in history do you have a person, a woman, who never curses, never steals anything, never does anything illegal and you put her under house arrest for 24 years, it is just insane."

As passage of health reform nears, a historic chance to help fix Washington, too
It's shaping up to be a great weekend here in Washington.
I'm not just talking about the spectacular weather or another upset-filled NCAA basketball tournament. I'm talking about the prospect of a quasi-climactic vote in the House that would finally have the United States join the rest of the industrialized world in offering health insurance to all its citizens.
Sometimes, those of us who live here and participate in political life can get a bit cynical. We tend to focus on the process or the gamesmanship or the unsavory compromises. Which is why it is important at moments such as this to get your head out of the weeds, look at the Capitol dome in the distance and remember how lucky you are to have a front-row seat to one of the world's longest-running historical dramas.
What strikes me about the lead-up to this weekend's health-care vote in the House is how quiet things actually are.
If, as Republicans would have us believe, Americans are so up in arms about the prospect of "Obamacare," why aren't there angry hordes marching on the Mall or jamming the halls of the Rayburn Building?
If the plan really represents a wholesale government takeover of one-sixth of the economy, why are so many associations representing private doctors, hospitals and drugmakers either supporting the legislation or staying relatively neutral?
And if this Democratic version of health reform is such a threat to economic prosperity, why are stocks, bonds and the dollar all rising this week as odds of passage increase?
One of the silliest Republican talking points is that Democrats are "ramming health-care reform down the throats of the American people." In fact, we've been talking about it, on and off, for decades, ultimately winding up with a solution that is not only remarkably centrist but also not all that different from the compromise nearly reached between Ted Kennedy and the Nixon White House in the early 1970s.
Indeed, although you'd never know it from the overheated rhetoric, the remarkable thing about the final proposal is how little it would change things, at least initially, for most Americans. That's no accident -- in fact, it's by political design. This plan is more like a time-release tablet meant to reform the system slowly from the inside out rather than surgically from the outside in.
If all goes according to plan, Medicare and private insurers will begin changing the way doctors and hospitals are paid, from a system in which they are compensated on the basis of how many tests they order or procedures they perform to one that rewards doctors based on how healthy they keep their patients and how closely they adhere to proven medical practices.
Over time, those government-sponsored exchanges will be so effective at generating competition and offering good deals on a range of insurance plans that big companies that now run their own programs will want to drop theirs and simply give employees a voucher to buy insurance on the exchanges.
And over time, the cap on tax-free health benefits will force insurers to better manage the cost of care, or charge patients higher co-payments and deductibles that will turn them into more price-conscious consumers.
Although Republicans are not wrong in declaring that "Obamacare" represents a significant change in the social compact, it falls well short of the European-style socialism they fear. In a uniquely American arrangement, health care would become both a personal right and a public responsibility, one shared jointly by workers, individuals and the government.
Over the past year, anyone following the health-care drama has been tempted, at various points, to question the judgment and the leadership of President Obama, his staff and the Democratic leaders in Congress. Should they succeed this weekend, however, there is no disputing that it will be a remarkable political achievement, the result of a combination of focus, determination, flexibility and patience not seen since the early Reagan years.
Most of all, enacting health-care reform would be a desperately needed victory for a political system teetering on the verge of breakdown. Years of polarization, partisanship and stalemate have led to a widespread and cynical belief that Washington is simply incapable of solving any major problem. Passing a health-care reform bill would restore not only a measure of trust and confidence in our political process but also, more significantly, trust and confidence in ourselves.

Wouldn't It Be Nice
By Michael deMartin
OK, I ripped (and ripped off) this video from the American Band documentary from the 80's (now available on DVD) and it's really cool: a promotional video for "Wouldn't It Be Nice" from 1966. I don't think Brian won an Oscar for this, but it's a lot of fun. The American Band documentary remains perhaps the finest one on the Beach Boys – it covers their whole career in great detail. One disturbing thing about it, and this is just hearsay: allegedly some people involved in the production had access to the complete sound archives and then near-perfect bootlegs were available thereafter containing tons of outtakes, sessions, etc. I would like to see Capitol release two-fers of each album: remastered versions and tracks-only versions on a single disc. Listening to Brian's productions is like going to school: fans and music students would eat them up. If you've heard, for instance, the backing for "Kiss Me, Baby," you'll know what I'm talking about.
Check out "Wouldn't It Be Nice" - perhaps one of the first music videos...

"Brother can you spare a dime?" We all know the images the phrase conjures: breadlines, the Forgotten Man, down and out and unemployed in 1930s America. Americans needed help and hope, an antidote to the malaise and uncertainty of this Great Depression – and Hollywood gave it to them. The one bright spot of the economic crisis: the cost of a movie ticket dropped from a quarter to a dime.
One might think that in such tough economic times people viewed spending money on the movies as throwing it away. Yet, when you talk to people who lived through the Depression, that's not the case. When there was a theater they could physically get to, people went every week – if they could get that dime. My great-grandmother Grano was very soft-hearted and wanted to help people. When a neighbor complained about having no food for her family, Grano gave her $2. But Grano was not pleased when she found out the woman used part of the money to take her family to the movies. My Grandma and I could understand Grano's indignation, but we could also sympathize with the neighbor. As my father put it: "Movies were an escape to a world where people would have loved to have been to, but couldn't."
When I asked Grandma what it was like seeing the movies during the Depression, she didn't even wait for me to get the question out. "It was great! Getting a break – if you could find a dime – it was wonderful!" She lived in Wooster, OH, and the Schine's Wooster Theater was an art-deco palace. She was luckier than many, because both her parents had jobs. "Grano would give my sister and me the money [for movies], but many times her brother Harold would give me a dime. I'm sure there were other ways I got the money. A dime at that time was big money. [We didn't have] money for candy or popcorn, [but we] would stay to see the movie twice."
For some the dime was harder to come by. My mother's father, Grandpuppy, earned it by working in the family's garden. When it started to produce, he'd load everything into a wagon and walk along the street, selling beans and peas for 5 cents a quart, and radishes and carrots for 5 cents a bunch. He split what he earned with his sisters, who helped him. "Ma banked the money for us. One time I had $3 in the bank – thought I was a millionaire." He'd mow "absolute huge" yards with a push blade lawnmower for 50 cents and take an extra turn at the dishes to get a dime for the movies.
In addition to the main theater in Fowlerville, MI, Grandpuppy recalls that when he was about 12 or 14 years old, a man named Abbot, along with some of the town merchants, started showing cowboy films on the side of a downtown building – for free. "I don't know why he done it. I guess maybe 'cause he could." Eventually they rented the inside of a building, and for a dime you could watch cowboy movies "to your heart's content." At the main theater Grandpuppy saw newsreels, short comedy sketches, and lots of different cowboy features and serials.
Westerns were very popular Depression fare in all forms of entertainment. Gene Autry and Roy Rogers were in the movies, and the Lone Ranger and Tom Mix were on the radio. Every one of my grandparents remembers seeing countless cowboy pictures. "They were the only kind they had on Saturday when we went to double features," Grandma recalled, and she loved them. "After school, Hattie and I would play Cowboys. She'd be Tom Mix and I'd be somebody else, and we'd make our feet go like horses, like we thought horses' feet would sound."
The cowboy movies were Grandpuppy's favorites, but of course, there were more than just Westerns. Grandma was dazzled by the glamour of Busby Berkley musicals, but she didn't have a favorite – "I liked 'em all. If it was a movie, I liked it." The excitement of the Tarzan films thrilled her, but she revealed: "Of course, I couldn't watch them all the way through, then. I can barely watch them now. Too scary! I mean, you know when they put a guy between two trees it isn't real, but they left it to your imagination." (She's referring to the memorably gruesome scene from Tarzan Escapes (1936), which she saw when she was about 12 years old.)
Going to the movies during the Depression was about more than just the films – it was the act of going out on the town. For Grandpuppy, the best part of the movies was spending an entire afternoon and evening with friends. A sack of peanuts cost a penny, and after the movies, he and his friends would share the peanuts and walk up and down Grand River Avenue, just looking in the windows of the stores and watching the people. Grandma went to the movies with her older sister or friends, and on the day when the movies were changed to the new week, they would hang around the lobby to ask for the old pictures and posters, which Grandma hung all over her bedroom. Grandma had a unique hobby: collecting photos of Doris Davenport, because they shared the same name (Davenport was a Goldwyn Girl at the same time as Lucille Ball, but she only made seven films from 1934-40. I have no idea how Grandma found photos of such a little-known actress, but she did).
Though the movies were incredibly popular, theaters still faced tough times, and as many as one-third had closed by 1933. In addition to lowering admission, theater owners introduced "Bank Nights" to lure customers in. Grandpuppy remembers that between the theater and the merchants of Fowlerville, if you spent a certain amount of money, you'd get a ticket to enter the Wednesday night drawings when they gave away prizes and cash. One night he won $3. "I went into the corner store and bought shoes. Had change left… maybe a dollar? I turned right around and bough me some— whaddaya call 'em, short pants, with the elastic in the knees? [knickers] Them were my Sunday school clothes." In Wooster Bank Nights were on Thursdays, and they did the drawings using movie tickets, sometimes giving away as much as $300. "That place was packed," says Grandma. "People you knew didn't have the money to afford a ticket. People saved their tickets and used them from week to week." I wondered what would have happened if two people had the same number on their ticket, but Grandma didn't know.
Perhaps for my grandparents the movies were a kind of immunization against dwelling too much on other memories of Depression-era childhood: Grandpuppy worked hard at so many odd jobs because he was the only male breadwinner for his mother and four sisters after his father left; Grandma and her sister walked to and from school barefoot on the sidewalks because "it was the Depression. We saved our shoes for 'good.'" The 1930s were a difficult and uncertain time for millions of Americans, but what my Grandparents enjoy remembering is that, for a moment, "If you could pony up a dime, you were in a different world."

Innovator Spotlight Video: Mike Debnar, 7-Eleven
"I love APIs because they allow someone like me, who is really out there as a radical innovator, to innovate quickly, and with multiple different types of customers. I could hire a couple kids in a garage somewhere and they could start building products for me that are going to make a significant difference for my customer. "
Mike Debnar, senior director, 7-Eleven
Mike Debnar, senior director of digital guest experience at 7-Eleven, sat down with us at I ♥ APIs 2013 to discuss how APIs are creating new value and experiences for customers of the world's largest convenience store chain operator.
Debnar runs a team that is responsible for digital innovation at 7-Eleven. The group developed a new customer relationship management system and used APIs to "liberate data from the enterprise" to make it available for the company's mobile app.
The hard work of digging up relevant store location and real-time inventory data had an unintended but welcome effect, Debnar said. Because it was far more accessible and usable than abstracted database entries, the data that was freed for external facing apps drew internal "customers" to the API. "This is what is really awesome about APIs," he said.
For the customers that frequent its stores, 7-Eleven is using APIs to create new experiences, Debnar said. For example, making it simple for customers to find a nearby 7-Eleven location, and exactly what each store carries—down to the flavors of Slurpee drinks—is something the company "can drive from this omnichannel strategy."
