Snapchat's Spectacles, and the move to Hardware

Snapchat has announced that they are releasing a video camera, called 'Spectacles', and shaped like...  you guessed it.

I think it's a great move, and very much in keeping with Snapchat as a fun brand.  You can imagine them being a bit hit at a party, a wedding, on holiday or whatever.  They record 10 or 30 second video clips which can then be shared to a phone via Bluetooth and then uploaded, so it sounds like they're shareable - i.e. you could buy a couple of pairs for people to muck about with (at $130 a pair).

It reminds me a bit of the Flip video camera - it's a fun, single use device that is 'good enough' to be fun, rather than a high spec product.  Let's see how these sell.

It also raises the question of what hardware would other software companies produce?

Amazon made the Kindle, and then moved on to the Kindle Fire tablet, the Fire Stick, and now the Echo and Dash buttons, which are ultimately all about making shopping easier.

Google has now made phones, and maybe most interestingly, the Chromecast, which is all about accessing content, or sharing content.  Oh, and their car.

What would Facebook make?  (The Facebook phone has often been rumoured)

What would Instagram make?

What would Twitter make?

How about WhatsApp?

What about Slack?

Krispy Kreme's 'Talk Like A Pirate Day' Giveaway on Snapchat

I love this - sadly I think it's happening in the US only.

This campaign will run on 29th September, to tie in with the bizarre 'Talk Like A Pirate Day' which was created in 1995:

"In celebration of Talk Like a Pirate Day, which falls on September 19 this year, Krispy Kreme is inviting customers to dress up in their finest pirate gear to receive one dozen free original glazed doughnuts. Qualifying costumes must include three pirate-themed items, such as a bandana or eye patch.

If individuals do not own such gear, they can simply visit a Krispy Kreme store to access the chain’s custom Snapchat geofilter, which can be used to digitally adorn their outfits.

The filter features a pirate hat, parrot and sword.

Consumers must then show their Snapchat selfie with the accompanying filter to any in-store associate to receive a free set of a dozen original doughnuts."

I think it's a great use of both location (you've got to be in a Krispy Kreme to get the filter), couponing (one of the first give-aways I've heard of on Snapchat), and you can bet that the pics are going to be shared far and wide, as will pics of people eating the free donuts!

Honda lets you configure a car in a Tweet

A nice use of Twitter cards by Honda - configure a car within a tweet.

OK, so it only lets you make 3 sets of choices, but it's fun and well done

See it here in all its glory - as ever embedding the tweet doesn't show this off particularly well

For me, and I'm sure for many others, good health is the most important aspect of our lives.  Personally, God has blessed me with incredibly good health, but like anything else, I have to do my part to maintain it.  Health is an aspect that I feel very passionate about, and in my daily life I see a lot of unhealthy habits and unhealthy lifestyles, therefore I want to share with you ways to combat a major issue in our societies.

1. START YOUR DAY WITH LEMON WATER - This burns fat into energy and stops weight gain

2. TAKE APPLE CIDER VINEGAR - This contains acetic acid which prevents the build up of body fat.  Take 1-2 teaspoons of raw apple cider vinegar in water, once a day in the evening.

3. REPLACE REGULAR TEA/COFFEE WITH GREEN TEA - Green tea contains plenty of antioxidants that help break down food.  Catechins in green tea, free fat from fat cells and also stop diseases.

4. EXERCISE - Now I know what some of you are thinking, but this is so beneficial.  Regular exercise helps to reduce weight, and maintain a healthy weight.  It also helps to lessen stress, raise energy levels, improves your mood and improves your sleep quality.  Regular exercise also lowers the risk of diseases like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, strokes and some cancers.

5. HEALTHY DIET - A low calory diet including plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.  Reduce sugar and salt.  Replace white flour foods with whole grain foods, for example; bread, pasta, rice etc.  Eat more protein and fiber and less carbohydrates.  Protein will help you feel full longer, therefore lessening cravings.  Eat little and often.

6. DRINK PLENTY OF WATER - Drinking water has amazing benefits.  See my previous article on water

7. GET PROPER SLEEP - Sleep affects the hunger and fullness hormones.  It also impacts your body mass index(BMI).  Tiredness increases cravings and demotivates you to exercise.

My philosophy with regards to a lot of aspects in my own life is, 'little and often'.  This is highly recommended with regards to food consumption and exercise.  For example, I have an exercise routine which I perform every morning, which I complete in only 10 minutes.  Therefore making it easy to avoid excuses for not doing it.

The above suggestions only require a little planning.  The main aspect, is the right mindset.

Thank you for reading!

Inbound Marketing

LeadSquared is a marketing and sales automation platform which competes with platforms like Marketo and HubSpot. They have some interesting features that digital marketers can use. I had a chance to review their product recently and here goes my review.

LeadSquared has a lot of features but one of the features I couldn’t find readily available in other tools is their lead scoring system. You can increase or decrease the score of each of your leads based on their behaviour and this helps a lot in sales prioritization.

How to Become an Inbound Marketing Certified Professional

by Deepak Kanakaraju on September 26, 2015

Inbound Marketing is slowly becoming Digital Marketing 2.0. Many businesses who invest in digital marketing are starting to realize that compared to investing money in display ads, video ads, SEM or SEO – inbound marketing produces much better and long term results than the others.

In fact, Inbound Marketing is more of an integrated digital marketing methodology that involves a bit of every other digital marketing channel.

So if you get certified in Inbound Marketing, it is going to help you. Getting certified helps you get an in-depth understanding of inbound marketing. Just the process of going through the certification exam will help you what inbound marketing is all about.

If you are a business owner or a marketing specialist, I am sure you have heard of drip marketing. In this article, you will learn what is drip marketing, and how it can automate the overall marketing & sales process of any business.

drip marketing

The name drip marketing originated from drip irrigation where small amounts of water is released over time to nourish the plants or crops.

Drip irrigation for plants and crops is done by releasing small amounts of water (nourishment) at the right time and the right place (near the roots) so that there is no water loss in percolation and in evaporation. Healthy plants are grown with the least amount of investment and almost zero wastage of water.

by Deepak Kanakaraju on November 15, 2014

I am excited to let you know about my first book – Content Marketing for Startups! This book explores how startups can leverage content marketing to get targeted traffic.

What is Inbound Marketing & Outbound Marketing?

by Deepak Kanakaraju on August 15, 2013

With all the latest buzz words in Digital Marketing such as content marketing and integrated digital marketing; Inbound marketing seems to have got a lot of traction in the past 5 years.

inbound marketing

Marketing was just marketing and people really did not talk about Inbound and Outbound until recently. To understand what Inbound marketing is, we should first define Outbound marketing.

What is Outbound Marketing?

Outbound marketing is the traditional marketing that a lot of companies used to do (and are still doing) to market their products and services. Outbound marketing includes the following marketing activities:

  • Television Ads
  • Newspaper Ads
  • Radio Ads
  • Cold Calling to a list of prospects
  • Mass Web Display Advertising
  • Mass (Unsolicited) Email Marketing
  • Marketing via Trade Shows
  • Ads in Trade Publications and Magazines

The common thread in all the above marketing methods is that the prospective customer never asked for an interruption and communication of a sales message. Many people may wonder, is there any other way to market? [click to continue…]

7 Powerful Ways to Convert Website Traffic Into Leads

by Deepak Kanakaraju on August 5, 2013

More traffic to a website does not always mean more revenue, unless the revenue model is purely based on display advertising. Display advertising model brings the lowest revenue per visitor compared to all the other revenue models and there are some studies that suggest that only 27% of the internet visitors actually end up looking at a display ad.

One of the best ways to monetize internet web traffic is to convert them into leads and then promote a product or service to them via email marketing or a follow up phone call. This is also called Inbound marketing. Outbound marketing or interruption advertising is no longer effective because people are getting better at tuning out of interruption.

The best way to attract traffic to a website is via content marketing. Content marketing is best done through blogging, social media and email marketing. However in this post we will not be covering how to attract traffic but rather we will talk about how to convert those traffic into leads. [click to continue…]

Weekend Wanderings | September 30- October 1

Friday night Ella was my assistant for a photoshoot at Yates Mill Park.  We almost got rained out, but the dark clouds passed and left us with some beautiful light. We experimented with some poses during outfit changes.  The bridge pose was inspired by Apryl.

Saturday we went to the Heritage Day celebration at Historic Oak View Park with some friends.  The park is a preserved 19th century cotton farm.  This particular event included pony rides, horse drawn wagon rides, fishing, old fashioned hoop and stick games, craft displays, trade demonstrations, a car show, and a quilt show.   While Sophie was getting her face painted, and Ella and Isaac were playing on the cars, Jacob and I were drawn into the quilt auction and ended up with five quilts.  So a pretty successful day over all.  We will definitely be back to explore more of the buildings and history of the place.

It is now October. Which, according to Sophie Law, means cloaks and kitty ears are required attire, pumpkin buckets must be used to transport everyday items (ie water bottles to soccer practice), and the house must be decorated appropriately.

Only 25 more days until Halloween!

Jungle Book: The Next Chapter

Jungle Book: The Next Chapter | Glenn Elston

Glenn Elston’s Jungle Book: The Next Chapter is a musical adventure for kids aged 5-10, giving them the chance to return to one of their favourite stories.

The show is highly interactive and all three characters, Baloo the bear (Ben Kazlauskas), Mowgli (the man-cub) Joel Parnis and the rascally Jackal (Andrew Hondromatidis) all create a wonderful rapport with their audience who are very quickly initiated into the laws of the jungle as ‘wolf-cubs’. There is plenty of howling, screeching and squawking and in fact some non-jungle noises too and children excitedly clambered up to participate in the monkey and elephant dance.

The music is definitely a highlight and Joel Parnis (as Mowgli) has a powerful voice demonstrating a breadth of talent and skill. Having the words projected to the songs and beautiful images also added to creating a wonderfully aesthetic atmosphere.

However, it was a tad disappointing that while the show openly acknowledges it is not based on the Disney animated film, it does seem to lose some of the original magic through tiny glitches: such as the mispronunciation of key characters names (which are all named after their Indian translations) and the fact that dandy-like Jackal, while certainly skilful, seems slightly out of place – indeed whether in fact we are in Australia or in the Indian jungle that Rudyard Kipling described, is ambiguous as well.

However, those are minor concerns, the overall production was successful and the audience were thrilled at seeing the return of their much-loved favourites to the stage.

The Tale of Two Cities

Lewisburg, West Virginia and Fremont, California. ...Quick. What do they have in common?

(insert theme from Jeopardy here) Well, they both had my good friend Julie Hatch visit them recently. One to reunite with an old friend, and one to say goodbye to a loved one. Both visits, actually, were completed by Julie and once again she remembered to bring me back some soil.

How do you DO that?! That thing of taking out all the colours except one!? I really want to know how to do that! JEALOUS!

Samara Link said...

Ang! I like your new profile pic and banner. Very nice. That's too bad you couldn't get to them all, but don't beat yourself up. You've been so active in these photo hunts and you always do a great job. The shots you did get are solid! Your purple made me chuckle, blue is pure and transportation is awesome. I think you have a little time to add more if you decide to.

Ashley Sisk said...

The shots you did get are great. I have to laugh at your cookout picture considering you didn't know the people. I always see great shots of other people but I'm nervous about seeming creepy. Great images.

ShutterNinja said...

I love the lighting in something blue. They are all really good though!

Kell said...

Don't be so hard on yourself! I've been telling myself to do this for a couple of months now and don't get a single picture taken.
The pictures you take are gorgeous by the way.

Jules said...

I love your something musical and transperation pictures. They all are very good. Enjoyed looking at your pics.

Christy said...

I love your scenic shot! and that car! that is just too awesome ... I want one!!!!

shannon said...

Dana Leigh said...

I love your transportation photo but all of them are great!

Chelle said...

Wow, what a pretty car! The reflections seen on it looks good too, and the pink color is just 'wow'. Don't push yourself too hard, you can try again on the next challenge... but you did well for the photos you've taken so far, so great job! :)

da mainiac mama said...

Hey Ang- your transportation shot has me drooling. I adore classic cars!

Amy said...

Thanks for commenting on my photos!

It's too bad that you didn't finish the photo hunt. You have such a unique style and perspective! I particularly love #17, something musical. That shot could be used for a publicity photo!

kaye said...

that's a sweet ride--nice results for the hunt

dancingmatilda365 said...

D-Verses & Flow

I woke up this morning, as always,

And while walking through my hallway,

I looked in the mirror, reflecting,

And thought, why am I so rejecting?

There’s food in my pantry and clothes on my back

And 2 cars in my garage.

I’ve plenty of colleagues and friends, I don’t lack,

I’m blessed with a fine entourage.

There’s heat in the winter and cool when its hot,

There’s no way I’m doubting the blessings I’ve got.

So what if I need to count calories now,

I still can consume that dessert anyhow.

Jack: 22 months

He we are again ... another update on le bebe [or le tout petit, if I'm be more accurate].

At 22 months, Jack:

• is very obviously nearing the age of 2. Though not regular, we witness more and more tantrums and hear the word "no" more often than we like. Last week Jack had a rough day at school, so we heard. He didn't get to do what he wanted, when he wanted, and he hit a teacher and pushed another kid out of a chair. Not good at all. But, I realize [as does his school] that he knows what he wants, but isn't always able to vocalize his wants, etc. He'll get there, and I know we'll get through it.

• can correctly point out almost all colors -- he really only struggles with white. And, of course, his favorite is still purple.

• is working on shapes. He definitely knows circles and will randomly point at a cute ornament he made us and tell us it's a circle. We are also working on numbers. When counting, he knows that 2 comes after 1 and he knows 5, for sure.

• talks ALL.THE.TIME. The kid is a chatterbox and adds new words/repeats everything on a daily basis. Some of his new words include: breakfast, flowers, butterfly, rabbit, potty, alligator, basketball. He's also really starting to string words together -- mommy car, daddy car, i get it, etc.

• talks about the potty [paaaie] all the time. He likes to point it out, he like to announce when someone goes to the potty ... he likes it all. Though he's not quite ready to use it himself, he's definitely aware.

22 month stats:

•I weight the monster man just a couple days ago and he was 31 pounds.

•LOVES: truck books, being outside, milk, airplanes + tractor videos on YouTube, cereal bars

•DISLIKES: brushing his teeth [we're working on this...], having to come inside

•wearing mostly 24 months, some 2T clothes. He can still wear 18 month pants. Size 7 shoe. Yall ... Gracie took him to get new shoes over the weekend and the girl at the store said his toes were curled up inside his size 5s. That was a terrible feeling -- I swear we can afford to buy the kid shoes!

•size 5 diaper, size 6 at night (Huggies Overnights) -- still the same and I don't see an end to diapers just yet.

The College Generation: The Entrepreneurial Minds of Social Media

social mediaPart of growing a successful, respected business in today’s world requires the embracement of social media accounts like Twitter and Facebook, yet many business entrepreneurs still view social media as tedious or unnecessary. Sure, for the time being it’s acceptable to turn a blind eye to social media, but not long from now social media will be key part of a business’ ability to connect with its audiences and customers in the marketplace.

The last thing you want your company or product to do is get left behind in the social media movement, since it is directly connected to the everyday information people receive and form opinions of. If you’re struggling to develop a social media platform for your product or business, here are four reasons why college students make the ideal assistants and givers of advice in anything and everything social media.

They’ve been with the social media since the beginning

Young adults have been with the social media movement ever since the beginning. In fact, when it first came out, the popular social media website Facebook was intended to be an exclusive, college-student-only website. Twitter, too, was exclusively popular amongst young adults and students when it made its first appearance to the public in 2006. That familiarity is what has made college students so in touch and informed of all that is going on and changing in social media. If you’re looking to bring in someone who can help your company create a social media presence, there is no better individual to seek out than college-aged students, due to the fact they’ve been a part of the social media revolution since its beginning.

They’re better able to adapt to changes or improvements in social media

Let’s face it: young adults were born into the technological, Internet age. Social media programs, tricks, and tools that many older adults have to work extra hard to understand usually come as second-nature to college students and young adults. Furthermore, right around the time an older adult begins to understand the tools and workings of social media, there are new changes and improvements being rolled out. College-aged adults are better able to adapt to such changes, given the fact that they were born into the technological movement and therefore understand its inner-workings much more clearly. So if you don’t want to deal with the hassle of trying to learn every new improvement in social media, it couldn’t hurt to have a young mind around to help get your company over the hurdle.

They’re constantly plugged in

My father complains that young adults are “too plugged in.” Yes, it might be annoying at the dinner table when a young adult is texting and tweeting away, but being plugged in is an expected, normal trait of younger generations. College students, especially, like to feel connected to the world around them, and one way they form connections with people around them is through social media. If you’re looking to find a person that will make your business’s social media presence a priority, there is no one more fit for the job than a college student. They already have their smartphones, tablets, and computers permanently attached to their hip, so why not have them put their knowledge and tools to use?

They speak social media

Twitter and Facebook are forms of microblogging, which means they share information in a brief, limited way. Part of being able to make the most out of social media is being able to understand and speak its language. That may sound odd to say, but if you’ve ever glanced over some of the tweets and statuses that pop up on Facebook or Twitter, you’d understand why it’s necessary to be versed in the language. Due to the limited number of characters you’re allowed to share on social media, it is helpful to understand certain abbreviations and slangs that social media users commonly use. College students, in particular, use much of the social media lingo in their everyday lives and can be quite helpful in assisting others who want to learn more about it.

It might be easy to turn the cheek to social media nowadays, but not far from now, it will probably be of the utmost importance that your company or product use social media. If you haven’t already, see if a college-aged individual can assist your company in learning more about social media.

What Foods Can Fight Depression?

If depression strikes, people often turn to depression medications for solutions. However, shifting to a healthy, well balanced diet helps mild to moderate symptoms of depression better than many antidepressants. Here are some ideas to help you fight depression naturally.

  • Fish oils: Contain omega-3 fatty acids. Taking just a gram of fish oil each day will decrease symptoms of anxiety, sleep disorders, unexplained feelings of sadness, suicidal thoughts, and decreased sex drive. Omega-3 fatty acids can also lower cholesterol and improve cardiovascular health. You can get omega-3s through walnuts, flaxseed and oily fish. Salmon and mackerel are a great choice. Salmon also contains selenium, which is an essential antioxidant mineral. You should choose wild salmon, because it contains more omegas than farmed or Atlantic salmon.

Foods for depression image
  • Brown Rice: Great source of vitamins B1 and B3, and folic acid. Brown rice also releases glucose into the bloodstream gradually, preventing sugar lows which can cause mood swings. Brown rice also provides many of the minerals needed to function properly, it is also a high-fiber food that keeps the digestive system healthy and can lower cholesterol. White varieties of rice do not offer these benefits.

  • Whole-grain oats: Contain folic acid, pantothenic acid and vitamins B6 and B1. Oats help lower cholesterol, are soothing to the digestive tract and help avoid the blood sugar lows that can lead to mood swings. Other whole grains such as kamut, barley, spelt and quinoa are also excellent choices for delivering brain-boosting nutrients and avoiding the pitfalls of refined grains such as white flour.

  • Canola: Several studies confirmed that people who suffer from depression also have lower levels of the vitamin E. Canola oil is rich in vitamin E. Chickpeas are also rich in vitamin E, iron and fiber.

  • Cabbage: Contains lots of vitamin C and folic acid. Cabbage is known to protect against stress, infection and heart disease. To avoid gas after eating cabbage, add a few fennel, caraway or dill seeds before cooking. Cabbage is also a good source of blood-sugar-stabilizing fiber, and the raw juice of cabbage is a known cure for stomach ulcers.

  • Sugar beets and molasses : Contain a substance known as uridine. This substance also seems to have positive effects on depression.

  • Dark green vegetables such as spinach and peas are high in folate. Actually any legumes are rich in folate. It is an element that has a key role in the production of serotonin. Choose fresh vegetables because canned versions have lower nutritional value.

  • Brewer's Yeast: Contains vitamins B1, B2 and B3. Brewer's yeast should be avoided if you do not tolerate yeast well, but if you do, mix a thimbleful into any smoothie for your daily dose. This super food has a wide assortment of vitamins and minerals, including 16 amino acids and 14 minerals. Amino acids are vital for our nervous system, which makes brewer's yeast a great helper for natural depression treatment.

  • Chicken and turkey are both rich in vitamin B6, which also has an important role in serotonin production.

Also worth mentioning:

• Foods like raw cacao and Brazil nuts (high in selenium) are also excellent for boosting brain function and eliminating depression.

• Other natural foods known to help in the treatment of depression include lemon balm, cashew nuts and rose petals.

Cardamom and asparagus are two foods that are commonly used in the treatment of depression.

Soybeans and soy products are good.

Seeds and dried fruits also are supposed to be mood boosters.

Drinking a lot of water is recommended as well, at least eight glasses a day - and avoiding red meat can be helpful in the treatment of depression.

• Try eating lots of other complex carbohydrates like carrots, parsley, broccoli, kale, tomatoes, apples, pineapples, cranberries, cherries and papaya.

• "Cooling foods", such as most citrus fruits, are supposed to aid treatment of depression as well because they can reduce acidity levels in the body and thus keep the mind calm.

To make foods for depression part of a lifestyle will take effort as well as time. Changing what and how you eat is important when dealing with depression. However, it is not a good idea to do it quickly as in all at once. Take it one meal at a time or even one snack at a time.

Depressed people tend to get overwhelmed easily, so fast or big change does not go too well. If you rush feelings of anxiety and fear can overtake you and create a setback. This is why small steps are necessary when starting a diet for depression.

  2. Participation in an alcohol drug treatment program or residing in a sober living home will promote sober living.

Big Waters

Looking back to the car-park

Start and Finish

The car-park at the Big Waters Nature Reserve. Off the B1318 at Wideopen. Access by foot from Dinnington, Brunswick or Seaton Burn

More of a stroll or amble rather than a walk. A place to go on a sunny afternoon to while away an hour or so in a peaceful nature reserve with a few aircraft flying low overhead to keep you on your toes.

The Walk

Any which way you fancy.

Gotta Give It Up

I picked this up for a dollar from a guy selling records on the sidewalk in Park Slope over the weekend. Both tracks are fun little summertime jams: the A-side features a strong vocal courtesy of Jennifer Holliday (making it not really a "dub" at all), and the flip has some pretty righteous guitar wankery going on.

My Evaluation

How I monitored visitors:

I counted how many people came to the exhibition with clicker each day.  On the open day I got 70 people viewing my art. At the end on the month I had a total of 340 visitors.

How I got feedback:

I had a comment book for people to put an entry into. I got a lot of feedback by speaking to the visitors whilst they were looking at my work.

How I reported back:

The Silver Arts Award is more about being a professional artist than just doing paintings. I wanted to become a professional artist.  I knew that this would mean that I would have to evaluate my own work and look at and critique other peoples art. I visited a lot of galleries and met with a lot of artists through the Whistle Art Stop.  Now whenever I go out I look for inspiration.

What I learned by putting on this exhibition:

I learnt that I needed more time to set it up. It was a struggle to get to there because public transport from home was not brilliant; it was an hour each way. I realised that I could not do it by myself. I needed help with things like hanging up pictures and getting a level.

I feel that I would like to use different size canvas for my next exhibit as  feel it has more impact.

I did a 16ft by 4ft panoramic for my exhibit. I found this quite difficult to do this.  I had never painted to this scale before and had never painted onto board before. I had to use brushes and sponges instead of just my fingers and I felt under pressure to get this ready for my exhibit. I also found it difficult to know when to stop.

What I could have improved on:

Some of my paintings warped. I will not use cheap canvases again. I know that I will need to manage my time better. I will have to put out advertisements earlier and give myself more time to put my exhibit together. The next time I do an exhibit I will advertise further afield.

BBC Look North interviewed me in May 2016 and I talked about my work.

Conflicting views of events in Egypt

I was interviewed last week by the journalist Amel Guettatfi for a documentary for the Al Jazeera TV channel (see Youtube links below) about crowd psychology and the recent events in Egypt, and something occurred to me that I hadn't considered previously. I was looking through Press coverage since the removal of President Morsi from power in early July 2013, and more specifically the incident in Cairo on 8/7/13, where the army opened fire on Muslim Brotherhood supporters, killing at least 51 people and injuring 435. How this event has been portrayed since illustrates the importance of considering both sides' views (and how they also attempt to shape reality to present themselves in a better way) to understand crowd conflict.

Coverage by the BBC of this incident reports that Muslim Brotherhood protestors claim they were fired on at about 04:00 local time as they were performing dawn prayers at a sit-in protest for Morsi. However, an army spokesman claimed that they had responded to attacks from a group armed with live ammunition, petrol bombs and stones. The BBC's Lyse Doucet highlighted the importance of how these events are perceived by Muslim Brotherhood supporters;
'while both sides have video which they say proves that they are right, what matters now is what people believe happened.'
I have some sympathy with this view, as when seeking to explain how crowd conflict develops, it can be just as important to consider people's perceptions of events as it is to work out what actually happened.

However, I have also not seen any critical exploration of the order of events in the video evidence that both sides have presented to support their case. In the video footage that Muslim Brotherhood supporters show to support their claims, it is either in darkness or in the early light of dawn, whereas the footage used by the Egyptian army to support their claims shows much lighter skies, suggesting that it happened after the footage presented by the Muslim Brotherhood. It seems to me that the claims made by the Egyptian army are not strengthened by the evidence they present, and if this footage happened after they had opened fire on people at dawn prayer, then it fits with the evidence of studies of crowd conflict in the UK (eg Cocking, 2013), that the use of indiscriminate public order policing tactics tends to escalate conflict and make previously peaceful protestors see violent conflict as legitimate or even necessary in their response to such tactics. I think it's also worth noting that this incident does not seem to have put off other protestors continuing their protest in the general vicinity, and that it has also been reported by the BBC as being predominantly peaceful, so any violent responses by the crowd as a whole on the day don't seem to have continued since.

This reminds me of when the BBC was forced to make an apology in 1991 after admitting that it had reversed footage of the Battle Of Orgreave (one of the most violent confrontations of the 1984-5 UK miners' strike) to make it look like striking miners had attacked police first, when it actually happened the other way around. Actions like this by the media can have enormous effects on how such events are perceived, as it can contribute to a discourse whereby the victims of such events can instead be portrayed as the villains, something that I have explored in previous blog entries. In this particular case, the BBC don't seem to have switched footage around to create such a narrative, but they could have perhaps been a little more questioning of whether the footage shown by the Egyptian army really supported the claims they were trying to make, and if not, why have they not presented other footage that does?

San Francisco plane crash & social norms

Interesting accounts are emerging about what happened in the recent plane crash at San Francisico airport. The BBC have quoted a safety official investigating the incident who is reporting that evacuation was not immediate and was delayed by up to 90 seconds after the plane stopped. It also seems that the order to evacuate was only given after a member of the cabin crew saw fire outside the plane. It's unclear at this stage why there was a delay in evacuation (although apparently protocol can allow for such delays if it is decided as the safest course of action), but I think it highlights quite well the behavioural processes involved in such emergencies. To me it shows that social norms endure in such situations (rather than breaking down into selfish mass 'panic') because the passengers followed the instructions of the cabin staff and delayed their own evacuation until instructed to do so, rather than instinctively fleeing as soon as possible (as is often assumed in media coverage of such incidents).

I'm pleased to say that I've not yet seen descriptions of passengers' behaviour during this incident as 'panic' (although I'm sure there are some out there!), and this seemingly small detail shows quite nicely how describing such incidents in this way rarely matches up with evidence of what actually happens. Studies of human behaviour in fires (e.g. Canter, 1990; Drury & Cocking, 2007) have shown how the maintenance (and even creation) of social bonds and structures  encouarges successful evacuations in fires and other emergencies. In situations of uncertainty people can also look for guidance from others who have more experience on how to act in emergency situations. So, in the San Francisco plane crash, it seems that passengers waited for instructions on how to act from the cabin crew, and then exited the plane in what appears to be a very successful evacuation (so far there appear to have only been 2 fatalities- one of whom may have been hit by an emergency vehicle once they'd left the plane). Therefore, while such situations may very well be a highly stressful expereince for those involved, and any loss of life is a personal tragedy for the victims and their families, I feel we should remember that such incidents also illustrate the remarkable solidarity and co-operation that people affected can display towards each other.

    Sony PlayStation certificate sparks talk China may lift console ban

    Wed, Nov 07 02:02 AM EST

    By Tim Kelly and Melanie Lee

    TOKYO/SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Sony Corp's PlayStation 3 has received a certification of quality from a Chinese safety standards body, sparking speculation that China will end a decade-old ban on home game consoles.

    China has banned video game consoles since 2000, citing a need to protect the well-being of its young people. Some analysts cautioned against reading too much into Sony's new certificate, noting the organization that gave it has no regulatory authority.

    "The Ministry of Culture has the regulatory authority over the console segment and is the sole organization that can revoke the ban," said Lisa Cosmas Hanson, managing partner of U.S.-based video games consultancy Niko Partners.

    The China Quality Certification Centre website showed two models of the PlayStation 3, labeled "computer entertainment system" received approval this July. All products must pass the safety standard before they can be sold to Chinese consumers.

    Sony confirmed that it had received certification but remained tightlipped about whether this heralded an imminent entry for the PlayStation into the world's second-largest economy or whether the company needed further certificates.

    "This does not mean that we have officially decided to enter Chinese market," Sony spokeswoman Mai Hora said.

    "We recognize that China is a promising market so we will continuously study the possibility."

    Representatives for China's Ministry of Culture could not be reached for comment.

    But there has also been some precedent that China authorities are taking a less hard-line attitude towards game consoles.

    This year Lenovo Group launched Eedoo CT510, a motion sensing device that plays games similar in concept to Microsoft's Kinect extension for the Xbox game console, by touting by Eedoo as an "exercise and entertainment machine".

    Although video game consoles are banned in China, online gaming and games on mobile devices are deeply entrenched -- limiting the potential upside for Sony and rival game machine makers like Microsoft Corp and Nintendo Co Ltd.

    "It obviously has a huge population, but gamers in China have different consumption habits," said Piers Harding-Rolls, senior games analyst at IHS Screen Digest in London.

    "A lot of established gamers will use non-dedicated devices they have used over many years."

    Game machine makers would also have to find ways to ensure that piracy did not cut into their income from games software and other content, Harding-Rolls added.

"I read it in 'Hogwarts: A History'."

I got a hilarious compliment yesterday: chatting with a friend on the phone about my myriad upcoming certifications, I remarked that luckily and geekily, I had already done a good chunk of the required reading on all of the various birth/baby/boob trainings I'm doing, just for fun. She replied, "Yeah, you're sort of like Hermione that way." LOLZ.

So yes, think of me as the Hermione Granger of the birthy crowd, always raising my hand in class (those of you who have done workshops with me know how true that is), always reading ahead, with Ina May or Sheila Kitzinger standing in for "Hogwarts: A History".

  1. Snort.

    What a great compliment! I wish Harry Potter had been around when I was growing up. I was SO Hermione.

  2. I LOVE Hermoine and am so like her too. :) What a great compliment.

There and Back

We have been there and back. There is Derry, NH. I didn't say anything because you are not supposed to make internet announcements about not being home. We had a housesitter anyway.

I went for a walk. Dave said:
"Take lots of pictures." So I did.

Power and phone lines are all above ground.

Woods everywhere. If you don't pull up saplings all the time, you get woods.

Rocks grow here too. You have to keep piling them up. The fire hydrants are red. Until I saw these, I didn't even realize that ours are not.

Welcome back everyone. I hope that if you were at the CMJ music festival you had a great time. I had a great time meeting up with a lot of MD's and hanging out with all the promoters in town.

The chart the week after CMJ is a crapshoot. You have all these MD's that were away coming back to PILES of records and feeling a bit overwhelmed with that plus school work and you have promoters that had little to no time to call anyone the week before.  As expected I did see a lot of Did Not Reports come through this week. Funny enough though they were from stations that were not at CMJ. I would say most of the stations that were at CMJ actually did report this week.  Just thought that was a funny observation.

We had another add week where no one record stood out from the pack. A lot like the last report when Kindness came in at #1 most added with only 69 adds. ( Kindness did have a pretty decent debut though at #53) This week Cold War Kids came in at #1 most added with 78 adds. I am sure CWK will do fine but the past has shown that most contenders have to break that 100 add mark.   But not every week is going to produce a record that will have a shot at #1 and a lot of those weeks you see a lowish #1 and a highish #20.

On to the charts! King Tuff keeps #1 and early on it looked like Caribou or Foxygen would also contend but in the end it was not very close. I think next week with promoters having a full week of work and stations having a full week of catching up that all three of those records should have a chance at #1.

11215KING TUFFBlack Moon SpellSUB POP
244823CARIBOUOur LoveMerge
351434FOXYGENAnd Star PowerJagjaguwar

Caribou being the newest record at radio I think has the best shot but Foxygen was not too far behind and it is all together possible that King Tuff can hold on to the top spot for another week.

Flying Lotus made a nice jump into the top five but the chances of that moving ahead of the others is pretty slim.

It is hard to believe that there are only 6 more reporting weeks of the year! How many more #1's will we have?

What were your highlights/ lowlights of CMJ? Lets talk about all of that on the twitter
