Video ads: Choice beats interruption
New research from Sharethrough and Nielsen hammers home the message that choice beats interruption when it comes to video advertising.
When Sharethrough and Nielsen compared pre-roll to native video ads, they found that native ads were far more effective at increasing brand lift.
Native ads (user-initiated video) were found to create 82% brand lift compared to pre-roll (auto-playing on user-selected content under 30 seconds in length) which created just 2.1% brand lift.
Those who were exposed to pre-roll ad units were 29.3% more likely to report they viewed the brand "unfavorably" or "very unfavorably" than those who had not been exposed to the campaign.
The research confirms what many already know - consumers prefer choice above being forced to watch an ad.
"While we've always considered it to be self-evident that choice beats interruption, sometimes you just need data to help hammer home the case," said Sharepoint VP of Marketing and Communications, Chris Schreiber.
According to the study, over 24 billion videos were streamed online in the U.S. in December, 2012, during which time consumers spent 360 billion minutes online.

I was just reading that federal gun permits have been shut down, and this is

Let's see how many GOP-favored initiatives begin to falter in the coming weeks during the shutdown and if this breaks the will of the GOP. What's more important? Access to guns or healthcare? My sense among the GOP, access to guns are more important.

Poland Losing Sense of Unity in Wake of Crash
Published: Wednesday, April 14, 2010 at 11:44 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 14, 2010 at 11:44 p.m.
WARSAW, Poland | The sense of unity spawned by the plane crash that killed Poland's president and dozens of other leaders has begun to fray, with controversy flaring over the choice of a burial site and suspicion spreading about the cause of the accident.
Aviation experts say the investigation of the crash is moving relatively quickly but some Poles are complaining about a lack of public information, including the transcript of conversation in the cockpit before the accident.
Pilots ignored pleas by traffic controllers at the Smolensk Airport to land elsewhere. Some here are speculating that they ignored the risks in order to keep President Lech Kaczynski on schedule for a memorial for Polish officers executed by Soviet secret police in the Katyn forest in 1940.
Investigators hope to release information on the flight recordings on Thursday but conspiracy theories are already swirling.
"We will never find out the truth," said Jan Maliszewski, a 42-year-old construction worker.
Discord flared for a second day as to whether Kaczynski and his wife should be interred at the 1,000-year-old Wawel Cathedral - the main burial site of Polish monarchs since the 14th century and of more recent heroes, including the 20th-century Polish statesman and military leader Jozef Pilsudski.
Sunday's state funeral will begin at begin at 2 p.m. with a Mass at St. Mary's Basilica. The bodies of the first couple will then be carried in a funeral procession across the Old Town and up the Wawel hill, site of a castle and a fortification wall surrounding the cathedral.
Some Poles criticized the decision to bury Kaczynski, whose combative style earned him many opponents, in a place reserved for the most esteemed of national figures.
"President Lech Kaczynski was a kind, humble man but there is no reason to bury him on Wawel with Polish kings, next to Jozef Pilsudski," said Andrzej Wajda, the director who made a film on the Katyn massacres that won him an Oscar nomination in 2008.
About 300 people staged a protest in Warsaw on Wednesday evening decrying the decision, which was made by the Kaczynski family and the Catholic church without public debate or a vote in parliament.
A large banner read "Warsaw for President, Wawel for Kings." It followed a similar rally in Krakow the evening before.
"Wawel is a place for kings, poets and the most outstanding people of Poland," said Katarzyna Markiewicz, 25. "Mr. Kaczynski was our president and this is a national tragedy but he shouldn't be at Wawel. This is a political game."
In a front-page editorial, leading Polish daily Gazeta Wyborcza said the "decision to bury him in Wawel is hasty and emotional."

Sanyo launches Xacti VPC-SH1
Sanyo has added another model to its range of camcorders, launching the Xacti VPC-SH1. It's another dual-camera choice, offering the ability to shoot either 1080i HD video footage or 10-megapixel stills, depending on your needs.
Theres a 30x zoom lens, for getting up close and personal with wildlife, plants, or someone you're stalking, and there's also a 35mm wide-angle lens, if you prefer to live a little zoomed out. What's most impressive, however, is the size and weight - 203g and 43mm thick. While that's not quite pocket-sized, it's not a million miles off.
It's compatible with Eye-Fi cards, comes with two record buttons, and offers various software goodies like "Face Chase" tech, colour targeting and a digital image stabiliser. It records in MP4 format, and comes in red and black. It should be available in the UK almost immediately.

Thanks for the info on Ralph. I wasn't aware of his background and do appreciate you clearing some of the murky water from my eyes! When it comes to a class action we need to name everybody we can and then let them fight to have their name cleared. Rodin thanks for your view I will see what I hear from the lawyer I have contacted.

Hang em, was the overpayment on the Calmar property paid to a third party, or was it due to 'lift' paid to an Aitkens entity?
Two tips for any litigation:
1) Do a corporate search on Beyer Marketing. I know Roy is going through a divorce, and I would hope a good portion of the assets went to his ex wife Shelley, so it may be wise to include her in any actions.
2) It is critical you are able to depose Mark McArthy. He is a decent honest fellow, who just fell in with the wrong people through church.

Ralph Bennetsen has been listed in the past as the project manager (Calgary Herald December 2007) for Spruce Ridge (where my money is - well, probably not any more but that's where it started out). nothing has come out yet about Spruce Ridge (I have asked for the financials from my advisor but pretty sure you all know what that answer was) but curious to know why the present?former? project manager of that one appears to be trying to CYA with the other projects.
On the plus side of things, another article in the Calgary Herald this week focussed on the lack of new and available commercial space in downtown Calgary and the Beltline. There may be some hope for the Foundation Place project yet.

Bennetsons' affidavit didn't say. It only mentioned that FM1 paid a much higher amount than the appraised value at that time.
Sorry but, who is Mark McArthy?

Hang em - Mark E McArthy, ACA has been doing accounting work for Aitkens in the past. He is a trustee on some of the OM's. He has signed the auditors report on one or two others.
People who know him will basically tell you that Mark works for Harvest. He is not the sort of fellow who would tell a lie under oath.

OK "Steve" the only idiot I know who spells my name "Mishelle" is Frank Lonardelli. Like I said in my post two above, I have never been on this site and you "Steve", called yourself "Ryan" a few pages back and spelled my name "Mishelle" again.
I have told you over and over, Frank, my name is spelled Michele...I cannot believe a big MIT educated man, CEO of some company cannot even spell my name correctly. Please STOP trying to involve me in this ridiculous, tabloid like blog. And please learn how to spell and use correct grammar. And be a real man and at least put your real name down.
I had forgotten about Prince Olaf's wife's post.I was recovering from romaine poisoning. Oh, poor little Michele, our belle, no one cares how you spell your name. The above spelling is apropos: Miss Hell. Karma...Karma...Karma....Chame leon...how long can you hide behind Loaf Peterson?

Dick Deweert is also from Lethbridge. See:
And for a little humor:
I do believe that Dick actually figured these were good investments. Unlike Roy Beyer, he sold these products to close associates and family members. I don't think they were smart enough to realize they were lying.

As McCarthy Tetrault have been involved in the Harvest undoing since January and Judge Romaine was a partner at one time I wonder if this might be a conflict for her.

Hi, I am just wondering if Olympia Trust has no responsibility whatsoever in all of this? Aren't they supposed to look after our investments - particularly when registered investments are involved (e.g. RESP, RRSP)? Did they not have a responsibility to caution investors if they smelled something fishy? Any thoughts?

Thornton, Arland. 2012. "International Family Change And Continuity: The Past And Future From The Developmental Idealism Perspective." In Marriage at the Crossroads: Law, Policy, and the Brave New World of Twenty-First-Century Families edited by Marsha Garrison and Elizabeth Scott.
The institution of marriage is at a crossroads. Across most of the industrialized world, unmarried cohabitation and nonmarital births have skyrocketed while marriage rates are at record lows. These trends mask a new, idealized vision of marriage as a marker of success as well as a growing class divide in childbearing behavior: the children of better educated, wealthier individuals continue to be born into relatively stable marital unions while the children of less educated, poorer individuals are increasingly born and raised in more fragile, nonmarital households. Meanwhile, growing numbers of same-sex couples seek access to marriage as an important political and personal goal. These trends have generated political controversy and pose a number of challenges for policy makers: Should access to marriage be extended? Should lawmakers increase or reduce government support for marriage? The interdisciplinary approach offered by this edited volume provides tools to inform the debate and to assist policy makers in resolving questions about marriage at a critical juncture. Drawing on the expertise of social scientists and legal scholars, the book will be a key text for anyone who seeks to understand marriage as a social institution and to evaluate proposals for marriage reform.

First place winner Shari Coté stands beside her poster
This week was an example of what makes my job worth it. At a State House ceremony, our community partner MassCOSH and eight state agency members of MA YES Team came together to honor the eleven teen winners of our third annual Safe Jobs for Youth Contest.
MDPH's Teens at Work Project, within the Occupational Health Surveillance Program, is largely data driven: We track info on the number and types of work-related injuries to MA teens as a critical starting point for intervention development. While our work is essential to keeping teens safer on the job, we rarely get to work directly with youth.
But once a year, through our poster contest, we call directly on teens to help us raise awareness among their peers about this important issue. And every year we are blown away: this year by the quality of the 174 entries, the thoughtful comments from 60 youth judges, and the attendance at our winner event.
The crowded Member's Lounge at the State House.
This year's ceremony was brimming with diverse attendees—winners and their families, agency and community partners, state legislators, press. Keynote speakers MA EOLWD Secretary Joanne Goldstein and MA DESE Deputy Commissioner Alan Ingram shared words of wisdom about everyone's role in helping to protect young workers on the job. Secretary Goldstein (@MassLWD), along with our partner Commonwealth Corporation (@CommCorp_MA), even live-tweeted through the event and was picked up by Governor Patrick (@MassGovernor)!
Who would think a simple contest could create such dialogue about an issue that is too often overlooked? Our goal was to raise awareness among teens, and teens helped us to reach even farther.
Congratulations to this year's Safe Jobs for Youth Poster Contest Winners!
End today on a youth high note: View the 2013 winners.

Just got an X-E1 yesterday...
May 24, 2014
Hi guys - no issues or questions right now (that'll probably change!). X-E1 + 18-55mm arrived yesterday and I've downloaded Rico's guide on Kindle. I've got an XF-1 and X20 so most of it seems quite familiar. I didn't plan on getting an X-system (usually shoot a Sony A57 if not the two compacts) but at current offer prices I couldn't resist! Interestingly the firmware was way out of date on body and lens (1.03 and 1.01 respectively) so would seem to be early production even though it's new and unused. Anyway, so far so good. The question now is whether I keep the Sony A57? Nice camera, but never been totally happy with lens choice. I think I'm heading towards an all Fuji set-up

I ordered over 100pound worth of stuff, waited for a month so I called customer service. they arrogantly and rudely said my credit has been declined, but when I told them I paid straight away I paid by card, they made me wait for 22 min more and eventually cancelled my order. they offered to put it through again and supposedly did. but I find out 2weeks later they didn't. I called again and they tell me they would refund my money...which they did...6 weeks later after 5 telephone calls. rubbish. avoid at all cost!

Depends what game I'm playing. I dislike choosing a Pokemon that everybody catches, though.
LG/FR I usually catch something like a Mankey, Pikachu or Nidoran. I only catch them depending on the starter though. If it's Bulbasaur/Squirtle I'll catch a Pikachu/Nidoran. And a Mankey if it's Charmander.
In R/S/E it could be either Wingull, Ralts or Surskit; I tend to go for Ralts though because Gardevoir turns into a beast later in the game.

Closing Time: Wild pitch does in Josh Beckett, Red Sox as Rangers take series
|07.25.12 at 10:51 pm ET
One wild pitch went a long way for the Rangers Wednesday night.
With two outs in the seventh inning, runners on first and third for Texas and the game tied, Josh Beckett uncorked a wild pitch on a changeup to Michael Young, allowing Elvis Andrus to come home with the game-winning run.
The end result would be a 5-3 victory for the Rangers over the Red Sox in Arlington, Texas.
Beckett finished his seven-inning outing allowing four runs on nine hits, striking out three, walking two and throwing 114 pitches. He was out-dueled by Texas starter Derek Holland, who surrendered three runs over 7 2/3 innings, striking out seven and giving up five hits.
The Sox managed just six runs for the three-game series.
Here is what went wrong (and right) for the 49-50 Red Sox:
– In retaliation of Clay Buchholz hitting both Ian Kinsler and Adrian Beltre (who was back in the lineup after being beaned), Adrian Gonzalez was hit in the leg by a first-inning fastball from Texas starter Derek Holland.
– With runners on first and third and nobody out, Ian Kinsler flew out to shallow right field. But Cody Ross' throw home went over the cutoff man's head, allowing the runner at first, Craig Gentry, to reach second. Elvis Andrus ground ball to second could have resulted in an inning-ending double play, but, fortunately for the Red Sox, Dustin Pedroia was able to throw out Yorvit Torrealba at home. Beckett would get out of the bases loaded, two-out jam by inducing an Adrian Beltre pop up to third. It was the 16th time his last 20 chances in such situations the starter has escaped without allowing a run.
– Former Red Sox outfielder David Murphy got the Rangers on the board, waiting back on a Beckett curveball and driving it to left-center field for an RBI double. The gapper plated Michael Young, who had led off the fourth inning with an opposite field double.
– Texas tied it in the fourth on a suicide squeeze bunt by Craig Gentry, scoring Murphy. The Rangers then went ahead when Ian Kinsler's pop up to shallow right field fell in front of Cody Ross. It capped the scoring in what turned out to be a three-run, five-hit frame for the hosts.
– Carl Crawford experienced another tough night, going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and a pop out on a bunt. The outfielder, who was once again replaced in left field by Daniel Nava in the seventh inning for defensive purposes, is not hitless in his last four games.
– While Beckett allowed a first-inning baserunner for the fifth time in his last six games, the Sox starter managed to get out of the first without any damage. Beckett came into the game allowing opponents a .343 batting average in the first, while totaling a 10.69 ERA in the frame. The only miscue this time around was a walk to Elvis Andrus, who was promptly thrown out trying to steal by Sox catcher Kelly Shoppach.
– Beckett also was able to get out of the second inning unscathed, allowing just a single to Michael Young. It was notable considering in his last three starts the righty had allowed just one fewer total base (12) than in the first inning.
– The Red Sox jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first thanks to Dustin Pedroia's run-scoring 6-4-3 double play. Scoring was Jacoby Ellsbury, who led off with a walk and was moved over to third on a Pedro Ciriaco single.
– The Red Sox extended their lead to 2-0 thanks to Will Middlebrooks' 12th homer of the season. The solo shot was the sixth time he has gone deep with two outs.
– The Red Sox' second home run of the game, coming off the bat of Dustin Pedroia with one out in the sixth inning, tied the game at 3-3. The homer went over the left field fence, where all but two of the second baseman's seven round-trippers has landed this season. It marked the 13th home run allowed by Derek Holland in the lefty's last eight starts.

Comment: More heavy lifting needed at Carrefour
Carrefour is "on the march", Plassat said this week
There is little doubt Carrefour, under the stewardship of CEO Georges Plassat, is an improving business.
When Plassat joined the French retail giant in 2012, the company had endured a tumultuous 18 months, which included a series of profit warnings and, after a plunge in its share price, investor dissent over its strategy.
Fast-forward to this week and Plassat was able to report Carrefour was "on the march" after the company posted underlying operating profit that beat analyst expectations and, crucially, higher sales in France on the back of recent investment in price and stores.
"The company is not moving as fast as I would like it to sometimes but I am confident in the ability in the teams in general to be combative," Plassat told a media and analyst conference in Paris on Wednesday (5 March).
In 2013, after a wave of investment to improve Carrefour's prices and ranges in France, the company's domestic sales inched up 0.3%. Like-for-like sales in France grew across all its formats, Carrefour said.
Elsewhere in Europe, analysts also noted signs of improvement in Spain, Carrefour's third-largest market.
Further afield, Carrefour reported a "remarkable" increase in organic sales in Brazil. Sales in China, Carrefour, said were up 3%.
The company invested EUR2.2bn in 2013 and plans to spend EUR2.4-2.5bn in 2014 to "intensify" its store remodelling programme, "accelerate" its roll-out of multi-channel operations and continue its expansion in key emerging markets Brazil and China.
Among analysts, "solid" was a common description of Carrefour's results. However, there was some concern over the outlook for the business.
Jyske Bank analyst Robert Jakobsen said Carrefour's management had already "picked the lowest-hanging fruit" and faced some work continuing to drive the turnaround Plassat set out 18 months ago.
Over at Sanford Bernstein, Bruno Monteyne was one of the analysts who had described Carrefour's performance in 2013 as "solid" but was cautious about the company's prospects.
"A sustained recovery needs to be sales led, based on a distinctive offer. A recovery can only go so far based on managing waste and realigning prices," Monteyne wrote.
The analyst said "three good quarters in France" had built hopes for a recovery at Carrefour. "We don't share this enthusiasm. Our view is that Carrefour remains structurally challenged, with unattractive formats in unattractive countries. It is still too dependent on hypermarkets in France and Western Europe."
This year, Plassat has said Carrefour will continue to work on its price, range and multi-channel capabilities in France. It is, however, facing a tough set of competitors. Auchan, for example, has is reorganising the way it staffs its hypermarkets to improve customer service; there have also been reports Auchan will invest EUR200m in prices.
In Spain, competition appears to be intensifying, with market leader Mercadona opening more stores and German discounter Lidl trying to continue its inroads in the country.
"We believe that 2014 will be another tough year for the Spanish food retail industry with many different players expanding business including Dia, Lidl, Mercadona, Carrefour, ECI, Eroski among other players," Kepler Cheuvreux retail analyst Inigo Equsquiza said this week. "We also believe that 2014 might be a tougher year than 2013 from a pricing perspective."
Plassat remains confident about Carrefour's prospects in Brazil and China. However, even the ebullient Frenchman admitted Carrefour's performance in Brazil, while "good", had "lagged" rival and market leader Grupo Pao de Acucar, controlled by French rival Casino.
And, in China, Plassat admitted Carrefour's moves into China's tier-two and tier-three cities have not paid off to the extent the retail giant hoped.
It is clear Carrefour has made some improvement during Plassat's tenure but more work remains.

PROVO — In the midst of one of BYU's greatest basketball seasons to date, starting center Brandon Davies was suspended Tuesday for violating BYU's Honor Code, letting some of the air out of the No. 3 Cougars' growing case for a deep run in the NCAA Tournament.
The decision to suspend Davies garnered varied reactions from students around BYU's campus.
"It's a mixture of feelings," said Jacob Cosby, who is majoring in accounting. "You feel really bad that it has to be such a public ordeal for him. But the rules are there and he did sign it. It's sad for him and hard for the team but probably what needed to be done if he's getting cut from the team."
Despite the Cougars' success, students firmly stood by the school's decision to punish Davies for violating the Honor Code.
"We came to BYU and we signed a contract," said non-LDS advertising major Andrew Tiu. "If you are a member (of the LDS Church) or not, it doesn't matter. You're bound to the same code and law that the school has provided simply because you signed a contract. It doesn't matter what religion you are."
Some fans and observers are criticizing BYU for not postponing or avoiding the suspension, but Pat Matheson, a member of the BYU lacrosse team, said the University would be ridiculed either way.
"Those who would mock BYU for suspending their starting center right before March Madness do so thinking only of sports," Matheson said. "Had he not been suspended, the same people would have mocked BYU thinking that the Mormons have a double-standard for athletes."
While supporting the school's decision, students' reactions to Davies' conduct differed greatly.
"I just think it's really unfortunate that (Davies) wasn't living the way that he committed to live," said BYU diver Nikki Przybyla. "I think it's really selfish. It's not just impacting him and his life, it's affecting his team. He has kids around the country that look up to him and that's not a way to set an example."
Many students felt bad for what happened to Davies.
"It's the difficult times when you need to support him the most," Cosby said. "It's tough. It's a bummer, but people make mistakes."
A lot of BYU students do believe that the Cougars still have a chance in the postseason, but that they have been limited because of the suspension.
"I think the biggest problem for BYU is an inside presence," Tiu said. "We've got the outside game on lock. It's the inside game that really needs work, when you lose a presence like Davies, that's not good."
However, many admitted that it might take a miracle for the Cougars to make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament as once expected.
"It would take everybody being on fire the whole time," Cosby said. "The comfortable thing about (Davies) is that he's a go-to low-post guy so it makes it difficult."
Przybyla said the rest of the team will be able to make up the absence.
"I think that they'll be fine," Przybyla said. "Jimmer (Fredette) is the leader and all of them are really hard working. A team is all of its players and missing one isn't enough to jeopardize their success."

Interest Yotsuba&'s Danbo Collaborates with Japan Post for a Yu-Pack Variant
posted on 2014-07-12 16:00 EDT by Bamboo Dong
Since 2007, Yotsuba&'s adorable cardboard robo Danbo has seen new life in several different boxes, with figure maker Revoltech reconstructing Danbo from Calbee boxes, Pepsi boxes, Amazon boxes, and more.
Now the little guy is collaborating with Yu-Pack, a domestic mail service from the Japan Post that operates all throughout Japan.
The figure will be available online from the Japan Post online store starting July 18, as well as several metropolitan post office locations. It will sell for 1,600 yen (about US$15.79).
Those who wander by the Tokyo Central Post Office between July 18-31 will even get an opportunity to get their their photo taken next to a life-size Yu-Pack Danbo.

While the figure will undoubtedly make its way overseas through specialty retailers, if you're keen on adding Yu-Pack Danbo to your collection, you might want to consider asking someone in Japan to buy it for you... because then it might even show up in a matching Yu-Pack.

2-Year-Old Dies After Fall From Window
There are 2 comments on the NBC Washington story from Apr 12, 2010, titled 2-Year-Old Dies After Fall From Window. In it, NBC Washington reports that:
Fairfax County Police are investigating death of a two-year old boy after he fell from third-story townhouse window in the Reston area Saturday.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at NBC Washington.
#1 Apr 15, 2010
My son 3 years, 3months fall out from the single family window 12 foot down to walk up concrete stairs on March 21,2010 by being close to window screen in a cousin' house. He did not lean, just simply touched the screen.
God did a miracle for us, and screen saved him,
Fairfax county has to do something about these non-safe screens, this is not anyone fault but in other hand you cannot test all the screens everywhere you go.
It has to be rule, regulation, something for the new single family houses which the windows are very close to the floor and anyone can be injures not only toddlers.
It has to be a law to install safety rales behind it to prevent injuries.
I felt deep sorrow for the 2 years Boy who died and I can deeply feel how his parents feeling.
There is nothing can replace him.
May god give them Piece and make it easy for them to go on, however is impossible.
I am very lucky to have my son back.
