The Role of Shamification in Gamification in Enterprise Mobility
Gartner's Hype Cycle 2014 is out and "gamification" has already peaked and is now heading downward on the cycle toward the trough of disillusionment. In this article my colleague and mobile expert Peter Rogers introduces the next emerging concept - shamification. Please forgive his many strange spelling habits as he is English and can't help it.
The common consensus is that any kind of mobile workflow that requires manual user interaction needs some kind of incentive to drive correct behaviours and focus. This generally involves rewarding the user in some fashion for their efforts: badges; points; a leaderboard of people completing the task; head to head battles; prizes; etc. It's all very positive reinforcement which is popular in our current educational system.
I don't always subscribe to positive reinforcement, and sometimes the darker part of my soul requires Tough Love. With that in mind I would like to introduce a concept called Shamification. It's basically the dark side of Gamification and relies on old school humiliation as a tool.
Shame, shame!
This is best illustrated through the popular Internet Movie Database website (IMDB). You will often find yourself checking on the worst 100 films as often as the best 100 films. The showcasing and reveling in abject failure is a critical part of British Society and here the biggest failures are paraded for group humiliation.
I see a similar development in mobile apps I call Shamification. You shame the worst performing users into doing the task through a leaderboard that gleefully revels in both the top 10 and the bottom 10 performers.
Indeed Grand Theft Auto 3 (two iterations before what we (aka me) is currently playing) had some elements of this whereby your avatar got fat if you performed badly, and this attracted abuse from people on the street, "Hey lard ass fancy a donut?"
I laugh at gamification critics that claim people are not competitive. We expose this fallacy by pointing to the numbers of consumers playing mobile games - hundreds of millions.
In the new Kim Kardasian's Hollywood app, you strive to gain popularity (in a virtual world) by spending real money. It is being forecasted to generate $200 million in revenues! People are investing real-world dollars to avoid being unpopular and shamed!
I predict it won't be long before shaming enters mainstream enterprise mobility apps. What if productivity falls in your department and your enterprise mobility app avatar slowly morphs into an unattractive loser? Yikes! The dark side of gamification is coming!
If you give me your credit card number and buy enough points, I can ensure you remain at least attractive.
What do you think?

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp. When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Scott, Director of Enterprise Strategy & Architecture at MapR Technologies, discussed single-value, geo-spatial, and log time series data.

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade.

If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

Connections of Zuzka have yet to make any firm plans for the rest of the season following her odds-on reverse at Leopardstown last weekend.
Following a fine third behind Jezki in the Royal Bond at Fairyhouse and an impressive victory back against her own sex at Christmas, the six-year-old was a hot favourite for the Listed Frank Ward Solicitors Solerina Mares Novice Hurdle.
However, Ruby Walsh never appeared happy in the saddle aboard the Willie Mullins-trained mare and she had to settle for minor honours in third behind stable companion Glens Melody.
Steve Massey, racing manager for owners the Supreme Horse Racing Club, said: "She never travelled and never really got going for whatever reason. Mares can do that from time to time, but she still finished off her race well to finish third in a Listed race and I'm told she has come out of the race fine.
"Hopefully there'll be other days for her, but I'm not sure where she'll go next."
Massey did suggest the owners would love to see Zuzka line up in the David Nicholson Mares' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, but admits she would have plenty on her plate in that race against her top-class stable companion Quevega, winner of the race for the last four years.
"The mares race at Cheltenham could be an option if Willie wants to run her, but I'd imagine he'll enter in a few races," said Massey.
"It would obviously be great for us to see her run at Cheltenham, but that's up to Willie and if she did go there, we know we'd probably be running for place money, as we'd be up against a top-quality mare in Quevega."

Additional Notes
Complaint: This company advertises that they are "experts in Geo-Thermal Heating and Cooling systems" and they were asked to design the "most efficient,least cost to operate system to heat and cool our new home and water". The system that they installed was using so much fuel to heat the home and water that we were filling our fuel tank so much we were afraid we would not be able to continue living in the new home we had built. We had others who were experts in the field of heating and cooling and plumbing come evaluate the systems that PRO TECH designed. We were told that the entire system was not correct for a home the size of ours. The radiant heat is still completely ineffective due to their design. The insulation under the floors is not sufficient. To this day we continue to have more expenses due solely to the poor installation of plumbing fixtures. The final straw was today when a shower fixture which was installed incorrectly fell and broke our tile in the master shower!!!!!!! The filters that are required for the Water furnace cost over $80 each! When we asked about the excessive use of fuel to heat and cool the house and the domestic water, they said we must have a leak in the fuel tank feeding our new home! **** the owner is a blow-hard who tries to impress with large words, interrupts, and does not listen at all. We have tried to get them to help us and they are useless. They continued to blame all of our issues on other people, products, and circumstances. We are so upset with the broken tile in the master shower that we feel that we need to speak up. Their advertisements that they are such a great BBB endorsed company are the main reason that this complaint is being filed!I feel sorry for anyone who gets involved with this company! They charge way way too much and claim to be experts in things that they are not experts in. Every single system in our home that they were involved with has issues with it. Every time I hear their advertisements I get extremely angry!
Desired Settlement: They need to own up to the fact that they designed the heating, cooling system and domestic water incorrectly! Failed to insulate the staple up radiant heating tubing. We have now paid another $20,000 to have the correct radiant heat equipment installed, separated the domestic hot water heating and the radiant floor heating. They need to repair our master shower tile floor. Repair the shower fixture that was not installed correctly. Replace or repair the other shower fixture that has failed

Complaint: My mother is 75 years old and has early stages of dementia. Central air conditioning was having problems so she called Pro-Tech Mechanical and they came to her residence to diagnosis the problem and repair it. Their diagnosis it was to cold outside of a temperature to do a full assessment of the problem. This was in Oct on Friday 12, 2012 and the temperature that day was above 65 degrees and Billings hasn't seen any snow or temps below 40 degrees during this year yet. They charged her for a diagnosis and repair of $118.00. Now if it were to cold outside why did they come out to begin with? The diagnosis was that the central air conditioner was running during the same time as the furnace was. The repair was to pull the fuse out of the central air unit since they said it was to cold outside to diagnosis why the central air and furnace was running at the same time. I called and spoke to the manager and asked her if a additional diagnosis would be added in the spring and she stated "yes". We encountered a verbal confrontation over the phone about who's right and who's wrong I decided I wasn't dealing with a unprofessional manager and hung up the phone. If you have parents who are senior citizens I'm sure you know about business like this who take advantage of them. We don't need businesses in our city who take advantage of seniors citizens and this is a trend that needs to be stopped. We will become senior citizens some day and if we stand up to these businesses and do not support them then we can help make sure this will not continue to be a problem for anyone.
Desired Settlement: DesiredSettlementID: Other (requires explanation) They came out to my mothers residence to make a diagnosis.They explained that they couldn't properly make a diagnosis because of the outside temperature but still charged her for one.They charged her for a repair. They said the furnace and central air were working at the same time, so they pulled out the fuse that operated the central air. They consided that as a repair.I feel they took advantage of her, I want them to refund my mother or come b
Business Response:
Thanks for the information and here is our response.
The aggressive rush to negative judgment from **** ***** ***** concerning the work done by Protech was stunning, per the facts as they transpired. Mr. ***** called our office and was inflamed and disrespectful at the thought of payment of services as he declared, "that he works on that stuff all the time". The verbal argument on the phone was initiated by him alone with very civilized communication attempts being made to him from one of our phone receptionists. He hung up on her rudely before even connecting with the owner or manager of Protech, saying that he wanted his money back or he was call writing the BBB. The signed invoice agreement including explanation of services is included: **** *** *****, the owner of the property called and requested service to be done: invoice 64921, as acknowledged by her signature approval. She was cold and her furnace was not functioning and she needed the furnace to heat. She requested that we investigate. We found the air conditioning stuck on due to a failed control component. The indoor coil of the furnace was blocked by a solid slab of ice that had formed due to this problem. Melting of the ice slab would be necessary. So instead of staying and charging more to accomplish ice removal, a decision was made to de-energize the A/C unit to disable. Furnace operation as it pertains to heating was restored. These air conditioning problems were discussed & the customer wanted to hold off with these additional repair requirements due to the age of the A/C equipment. Repair for the A/C would be done in the spring, she did not want the expense now, she said. Mr. ***** was not present during the work process and did not call to talk to our tech to find out the real facts and made his own assumptions and decided to call the Better Business Bureau without knowing the facts. The work performed was reasonable, the customer was not overcharged by any consideration and the furnace was enabled to heat once again for the invoice price of $118.50. He was not charged for air conditioning repairs because non were done; but would be if we return in the Spring. This is consistent with sensible thinking.

Chamber plans strategies for success workshop
SoVaNow.com / August 19, 2013In 1999, at the age of 24, Tony Hsieh sold LinkExchange, the company he co-founded, to Microsoft for $265 million. He then became an advisor and investor, and eventually became CEO, where he helped Zappos.com grow from almost no sales to over $1 billion in gross merchandise sales annually, while simultaneously making Fortune magazines annual "Best Companies to Work For" list. In November 2009, Zappos.com, Inc. was acquired by Amazon.com in a deal valued at $1.2 billion on the day of closing. His first book, "Delivering Happiness", was published on June 7, 2010.
Today Hsieh is working to revitalize Las Vegas. This $350 million Downtown Project is a mix of investments, acquisitions and loans — envisions blocks and blocks of community-based, pedestrian-friendly, small-business-oriented, high-density, high-tech urbanism in long-depressed and troubled neighborhoods. Zappos will take over the decrepit old City Hall. That gesture alone, salvaging a local landmark, has endeared Hsieh to many in Las Vegas.
Joe Carey with Renaissance Executive Forums will be speaking on how to identify root cause of roadblocks to business success, develop strategies & action plans to move forward, and setting short & long term Business priorities.
The workshop will be Tuesday Sept. 10 at the Riverstone Centre, from 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
Six great takeaways: Delivering Happiness by Tony Hsieh, Zappos Family Culture Book, Participants Workbook, A Business PAL (Prioritized Action List), S3- Stay the course, Start new Habits, Stop old habits, and bibliography.

Snapchat in talks to expand services: WSJ
(Reuters) - Snapchat Inc, developer of a mobile app that lets users send messages that disappear within seconds, might expand its service to videos, news articles and advertisements, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.
The California-based company is in talks with advertisers and media companies about a service called Snapchat Discovery, the Journal reported, citing sources.
Snapchat Discovery, rumored to debut in November, will show content and ads to Snapchat users, the Journal quoted the sources as saying.
At least a dozen media companies have shown interest in providing content for Snapchat Discovery, the Journal said.
Snapchat Discovery will allow users to read publications and watch video clips by holding down a finger on the screen, as they do with photos and other messages on the app, the report said.
Snapchat, popular among teenage users, was not immediately available for comment outside regular business hours.

Whitehaven's St Benedict's School reach national RL final
Last updated at 11:49, Friday, 27 April 2012
St Benedict's School have a date with Hull's Sirius Academy in a national rugby league final on May 9.
The west Cumbrians have reached the Year 11 final of the Carnegie Champion Schools competition, while the school's Year 8 side has a home quarter-final in the national competition on May 2.
This week's semi-final win by the Under-16's (Year 11) was a remarkable effort, because at half-time they trailed reigning champions Brooksbank of Halifax, 18-12.
Minutes into the second-half the deficit had increased to 24-12.
But from that point St. Benedict's took over and eventually ran-out winners 46-28 to book their place in next month's final which will be staged at Bradford's famous old Odsal Stadium (now called the Grattan Stadium).
Team coach Paul Farrell said: "They really finished strongly and produced some excellent rugby. They have confidence in their own ability and there are some talented individuals among them."
Jordan Burns (2), Cole-Walker-Taylor (2), Danny Hodgson, Dominic Wear, Greg Howland and Jake Moore scored the tries.
Wear converted six of them, most of them difficult kicks, while Burns also improved one.
Hoping to follow their seniors to the final will be the Under-13s who have home advantage in the quarter finals on May 2 against St. Wilfred's of Featherstone.

"'Grayson' is a beautiful child and his name so matched the design of this card... I had to choose it for then 10 day old, August! The added text for 'stats' was an easy edit too! :) P.S. The corners in my photo are from the screen shot... the actual card has rounded corners... very cool card and all that received it praised it!"
"Loved this design and especially the mail service feature- I uploaded all of the recipients' addresses before my baby was born and tinyprints sent them out for me. The only annoying thing is that you can't then re-order more of the same cards without using that mailing feature. Weird."
"I loved this announcement. I had newborn photos taken professionally. For the announcement I used a fall themed picture and it matched perfectly with the orange on the card. The cards are nice and thick. The bows on the back were a cute touch. I got a lot of great feedback from everyone I sent these to. I am also very impressed with the quickness that I received them."
"The matte cards are nice and thick. The photo was printed beautifully on the matte card stock. The design is nice and clean and simple. Loved this."
"I needed the announcements for my first little girl to be perfection and they were. I ordered the sample first so I knew ahead of time how pretty they were in person. My only regret is not splurging on the type of paper. The pearl shimmer would have made them even more beautiful."

Labour to set out kids' ad controls
The Labour Party will pledge to tighten the rules on advertising aimed at children in a white paper on public health to be published in the next few weeks.
Burnham: co-writing the white paper on ads aimed at children
However, the party will try to head off claims that it favours a "nanny state" by restricting its proposed ad curbs to those that protect children.
One leading option is a 9pm watershed for ads promoting food high in salt, sugar or fat on the grounds that the present regime, which prevents them being shown during children's programmes, allows children to watch them during other shows.
Labour has considered whether to phase out alcohol sponsorship of sport over a five-year parliament but is expected to reject the idea as too Draconian. However, it is looking at whether ads for e-cigarettes at sporting events should be banned amid concerns that the products might encourage children to take
"The emphasis will be on measures that are needed to protect children with a more liberal approach towards adults," one Labour source told Campaign.
The white paper will outline the options that could be included in Labour's manifesto at the general election next May. It is being drawn up by Andy Burnham, the Shadow Health Secretary, and Luciana Berger, the party's spokeswoman on public health.

The Scoundrels
The Scoundrels is a group of four friends who first collaborated on a show called Improvised The Good Wife, but quickly abandoned that project when they realized how incredibly asinine it was. From then on they decided to get back to the fundamentals and do shows that tackled the core elements of improv that they all loved: fast-paced, emotional, and smart. They may have lost their gimmick, but they gained a strong chemistry that is conveyed in their shows.

Nader gives Point Park University students points to ponder
After surveying his audience at Point Park University, Ralph Nader explained that many young people visit shopping malls and McDonald's more than they attend city council meetings.
Growing up corporate, Nader said, doesn't make an effective citizen.
"Can you write a 1,000-word essay on your civic skills?" Nader, 75, asked the audience. "I bet you could write a 1,000-word essay on your social skills."
The consumer-rights advocate and four-time presidential candidate made his point yesterday during a brief session with select Point Park students before addressing a larger audience at the Downtown school. Nader's lecture, titled "The Mega Corporate Destruction of Capitalism and Democracy," addressed the importance of civic engagement and grassroots democracy.
"Watch out who measures progress," Nader said. "Whoever measures progress controls you."
Mark Scaramuzzi, 21, a senior English major at Duquesne University, said he's a strong Nader supporter.
"I believe that building viable third-party alternatives to the current two-party system is critical to the growth and evolution of the democratic process," Scaramuzzi said.
Nader ran for president as the Green Party candidate in 1996 and 2000 before entering the race as an independent in 2004 and 2008.
In 1965, Nader released "Unsafe at Any Speed," a study of the safety of American automobiles. Federal safety laws for automobiles were established by Congress as a result of Nader's work.
Many in attendance last night were college students who know Nader as a politician and consumer advocate. Students listened as Nader spoke about losing friends in car accidents and taking a stance with the issue.
"How Nader goes about doing things seems to be an effective way to go about politics," said Anthony Costulas, 20, a sophomore political science major at Point Park. "He does not stand in line like the majority of politicians today."

First off, stay calm.
It's not easy, but you can do it. The job will go better if
you keep your cool, so take a deep breath and ooze confidence to keep those
kids in line.
Go for a group
Get the kids involved in a group activity. If they are the same age, or around the
same age, you can find a game to play that will keep everyone occupied. Try
hide and seek for the older kids, or bring out some play clothes and jewelry
for dress up with the tots. Arts and crafts are also a great way to keep
everyone entertained, no matter their ages or genders.
Keep it safe
You need to keep your eyes on all the kids, all the time. If
you've got a rowdy bunch on your hands, keep meals a quick affair—think DIY
sandwich assembly. If you've got older kids in your crew, ask them to keep an
eye on their sibs, but keep 'em all in your line of sight. If that means you
have to sit them down at the kitchen table while you throw something in the
oven, by all means do it.

Is That an Achy Breaky Disguise?
by Mike Stanz
posted May 19 2014 3:00PM
Look who ducked into the Billboard Music Awards last night in Las Vegas. None other than Billy Ray Cyrus, but shhh! Don't say that name out loud.
He's playing Captain Incognito, and you would too.
Just imagine walking in to any place that has to do with the music industry.and having to listen to people tell him what his daughter did last night with an inflatable sex toy in Dusseldorf.
From the looks of things, Billy's about ready to hit the road with a Broadway tour - either as the title character in
"Jesus Christ, Superstar"
or as Cousin It in
"The Addam's Family."

Under new CDC guidelines, routine screening for hepatitis B virus (HBV) is now recommended for people born in Asia, Africa, and other regions with 2% or higher prevalence of chronic HBV infections, men who have sex with men, injection drug users, patients on immunosuppressive therapy, and anyone with unexplained abnormal liver function tests. Patients with chronic HBV infections should see a specialist for ongoing monitoring and care. Healthcare providers are also asked to provide culturally sensitive, ongoing patient education; lifelong monitoring for progression of liver disease; and education to protect close contacts of patients with HBV infection.
