Summer is a good time for architectural photoigraphy. From a photographic standpoint, colors of course become more intense, but the contrast is also helpful for monochrome photography, and with the right filters (film or digital), extra punch and contrast can be given to skies. Given London's relatively high latitude, even during the height of summer the sun doesn't go perpendicularly overhead as it does in the tropics – which means not being quite so restricted about shooting during noon.
Photoessay: London architecture in mono
Photoessay: London street mono, part II
Today's post is the conclusion of part one. The abstraction of man in monochrome continues; my own peculiar brand of anthropological observation/ documentary/ street photography. Call it what you will. Perhaps as a consequence of the medium (format), I feel these images are somewhat more structured, ordered and 'rigid' than the previous set; that said, I've never felt London to be a particularly liberal place – especially the City or any of its other institutions – so perhaps this is actually somewhat appropriate.
Photoessay: London street mono, part I
The first part of my street photography from London shows life at my favourite 28mm documentary perspective – one I find natural, long enough to be intimate without being too intrusive, but wide enough to take the context of one's peripheral vision without overly drawing attention to the geometric distortion that happens with even wider lenses. Despite having flirtations with the longer perspective I also carry – in the past 85mm, and now down to 55 or even 40/43mm for medium format – I've seldom gone wider than 28mm, just because it's so instinctive. Or perhaps it's a product of having spent a year shooting little else, back in 2009.
Photoessay: London mono solos
Many years ago, I lived in London. I'm always told that it's most people's aspiration to go there, but to be honest, it's a place to visit, not one to live – much the same way I see Tokyo. What's always struck me about it is despite having somewhere around 12 million inhabitants and what often feels like the most densely packed streets and transport systems on earth, you almost always feel alone. In the five years I spent there, I can count the number of random conversations with strangers I've had on less than the fingers of one hand – which is to say, far less than any other city I've lived in. People just seem to be not so approachable and lost in their own worlds; much like Tokyo, it seems that the less space you have, the more fiercely protective of that space each individual becomes.
Photoessay: From the streets of Kuala Lumpur, part 57
Reminiscences of the last supper
I honestly have no idea how many times I've posted images from KL. It might be 56 or 30 or 128. I don't think it matters, anyway. I find quality of vision, and the ability to see, follows a bit of a camel hump: you need some time in a place in order to not be surprised and enraptured by every little thing that breaks your version of normality; a little objectivity and distance helps with quality. A bit more time, and you're comfortable enough to explore, and have found things off the beaten path to the casual visitor; too much time and you're jaded. The bigger the city, the longer this takes; but for a relatively small metropolis like the one I live in, that's not very long at all.
Photoessay: Mono street photography from Singapore
Contrary to popular belief, I don't shoot that much street photography by either time or output; it just appears that way because a lot of the work I do can't be published for some time (or at all) due to client embargoes; and by the time I can make it public, I've honestly just forgotten or realized that the shoot was so rushed that I didn't get a chance to shoot any 'making of' b-roll. Hence the large quantity of street photography. By a similar token, I don't believe in a conventional definition of street photography; I think of it as something on the documentary spectrum but towards the end where you don't have a set objective or assignment, and just record what you see. In some ways, that makes it more difficult because you have to make or interpret your own story from a bunch of usually discordant pieces.
Photoessay: The Verticality Project
'Project'-type photography – images shot to a theme as an exercise or assignment or with a view to an eventual exhibition – is generally a good way to motivate you to shoot if you're stuck for inspiration. It narrows down the entire universe of possible subjects to just a few, or one. Or a single style. That restriction prevents the mental anguish of overload: either too many things to shoot, or nothing that really stands out in a visual barrage. If you've extensively shot the place you live in, it's probably the former; the result is that you don't land up photographing unless you take a trip or there's an event – i.e. something out of the ordinary. The latter is what happens during that trip: perhaps there's no inspiration, or there are just too many possible subjects, which result in a photographer losing focus and making a weak portfolio. Focus of effort is therefore generally a good idea. Believe it or not, this is actually the first intensely focused project of its sort I've attempted.
Photoessay: Melbourne monochromes, part II
The continuation and completion of the previous photoessay.
It occurs to me I never addressed why these images were presented as monochrome rather than color – Australia has wonderfully intense blue skies (I suspect this has something to do with the ozone layer, or lack of it at those latitudes) which in turn produce extremely intense colours. Personally, and I suspect also for a lot of other people, monochrome images are associated with a sort of timeless quality; I don't – and didn't – want the impressions to be affected by my current color choices and preferences. It's one of the reasons we associate certain color palettes with certain eras in history – think of the 1960s and 1970s, or late 1980s, for instance; unfortunately I suspect the current period is going to be defined by over filtering, low-fi and HDR. The least I can do is spare my subjects from that…
Photoessay: Melbourne monochromes, part I
This photoessay is the first part of my monochrome work from the Melbourne workshop in March; some of my students may recognise the images. I've been criticised in the past for not getting 'close enough' for my images to qualify as street photography, so I'm not going to claim it as such even though there's no strict definition of the genre to begin with. Rather, it continues a theme I've been exploring for the past couple of years: the exploration of people in their environment, and the idea of modern man in context as a species as opposed to an individual. Perhaps I should take up social anthropology in my spare time…
Photoessay: Trees revisited
Following on from the previous article on improving the digital B&W workflow process, it's only fair that I show you some examples. I've chosen near-field landscapes – effectively, trees – as the test material, because I've always felt that this has been the most difficult subject to capture in a convincingly natural way*.
*Yes, I know, nature is in colour and monochrome images are by definition unnatural, but bear with me here.

Well at least you're honest about it, Motorola. The company just updated its Software Upgrades page, and the news isn't good for owners of the CLIQ XT, i1, Flipout, or Charm. We already knew that the first of those four phones will eternally be stuck on Android 1.5, but what may come as a bit of a surprise is that the i1 is now in a similar situation (i.e. forever doomed to Cupcake), while neither the Flipout nor the Charm will ever see an OS version more recent than Eclair.
A leaked ad from Best Buy shows that the Motorola XOOM will be priced at $799.99. It also confirms rumours that the tablet will be available in-store from February 24th.
The ad seems to be the real deal (complete with the trademarked Best Buy yellow price labels), however we couldn't help but notice a few glaring spelling mistakes. Either the ad is a fake, which is unlikely at this point, or Best Buy needs to fire its current spell-checker.
Remember the 15-second preview of Motorola's XOOM Super Bowl commercial that was leaked online a few days ago? Guess what - it's Super Bowl Sunday, the ad just aired in front of millions of people, and Moto immediately released the whole thing on YouTube, so that those of us who missed it could inspect just what exactly Moto's creative genius has been up to lately.
Unsurprisingly, the ad's 1984 theme (remember the teaser?) continues to implicitly take silent jabs at Apple, introducing the XOOM as "the tablet to create a better world."
So, does the full 1 minute ad impress or has Motorola failed to showcase the product properly?
It's pretty much universally agreed upon that Honeycomb's UI overhaul looks awesome, with its Tron-inspired holographic UI touching just about every part of the operating system. But what about the boot screen? It turns out that looks just as slick - TechCrunch managed to grab a video of it, and - despite the poor lighting - we can see that it looks nothing like previous versions of Android, which featured the Nexus "X" animation.
Super Bowl XLV is going down this Sunday, and while most people can't wait to see the Steelers face off against the Packers, Android fans have another reason to be excited: Motorola plans to air a commercial for the world's first Honeycomb tablet during the big game.
However, for those of us who simply can't wait any longer, Motorola's released 15 seconds of the ad - check it out:
As you can see, Motorola has decided to take yet another jab at Apple and the iPad's lack of customizability - not exactly the most innovative approach, but so long as it piques the public's interest, it should suffice.
A short while ago, the Best Buy Grand Rapids Facebook page prematurely posted a status update indicating the release dates of the Motorola XOOM tablet and the HTC Thunderbolt.
The status update suggests that the Motorola XOOM will be available for sale at Best Buy from February 24, while the HTC Thunderbolt will be available starting February 14 (the day after Mobile World Congress 2011 officially kicks off). Additionally, the Verizon iPhone 4 will be coming to Best Buy on February 10, and the Samsung Presto 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot will be available from February 17.
Even though Motorola's original CLIQ received a 2.1 upgrade a long time ago, CLIQ XT owners have been patiently (and impatiently) waiting for the good news ever since. Unfortunately, it will never come, as Motorola's official decision, posted on their Android Software Upgrade News, is to forever doom it to 1.5. It is hard to imagine which differences between the original CLIQ and the XT prompted Motorola to refuse the upgrade, because the phones are really very much the same, and the biggest difference between them is the physical keyboard on the CLIQ.
We're hearing quite a bit of news about the Atrix 4G today, and from all over the web, no less. First and foremost, AT&T has officially revealed that the Atrix will go on sale March 6, for $200 with a two-year contract. Electronista is reporting that you can buy it bundled with the laptop dock for $500; if you choose to buy the phone first (for $200) and the dock at a later date, you'll still end up paying $500 for the dock (bringing your total to $700).
Earlier yesterday, Google demoed some of Honeycomb's most impressive features, however one of its best features seems to have slipped under the radar. While playing around with the Motorola XOOM, Engadget noticed an "Encrypt Tablet" option in the settings page.
At this time little is known about the encryption standard that will be used or whether the encryption process will affect the tablet's other features in any way. All that is known is that your accounts, settings, downloaded applications, media, and other files will be encrypted, and you will require a numeric PIN or password to decrypt the data.
Today has definitely been one of the more exciting days this year, at least in the Android department. Last week, Google sent out invitation for a Honeycomb-related event, where we, of course, were expecting detailed walkthroughs of Android 3.0 and hands-on with the Motorola XOOM.
Rumors of the web store that was promised almost a year ago as well as Google Music, teased at the same time at Google I/O last year, were flying, and one of them definitely came true today - we've finally got ourselves a web-based Market with over-the-air app installations.

Production duo Stu Bangas and Vanderslice have been providing beats for the underground set for the last couple of years, and with their debut album, Diggaz With Attitude, they call on some of those same collaborators to return the favor. With a guest list that reads like the HipHopSite.Com 12" vinyl section circa 2002, a strong team of now seasoned emcees helps round out the duo's brand of brooding production.
With many fan favorites in the mix, there are some classic posse cuts included herein. By far the album's greatest achievement is "The Gusto", which boasts a guest list of Evidence, Roc Marciano, Apathy, and Alchemist, which, if you aren't reading the tracklist as you listen, leaves your jaw on the floor with the arrival of each new emcee. The same can be said for the similarly styled "Half Dead", which again teams Apathy with Roc Marciano, as well as Planet Asia. Later on "1st Degree", Roc Marciano chimes in once again, sharing mic duties with Celph Titled and Vinnie Paz, while the dire "Death Wish" with Wais P, Ill Bill and Blaq Poet helps round out this series as some of the best underground posse cuts in recent memory.
Some of the other collaborations aren't as much of a stretch, such as "Pharoah Status" with AOTP members Esoteric and DC trading barbs, or "The Realest", which is essentially a La Coka Nostra 2012 cut. While these tracks satisfy, the album does have it's share of filler, as we've heard better tracks in the past from Blacastan ("Spy Hunter"), Reef The Lost Cauze ("Black Lung Rap" or Wais P ("Okay, Player"), than what is presented here.
But while Stu and Vander draw their strengths largely from their collaborators, really what Diggaz With Attitude is meant to do is show off their production skill, and it accomplishes this. While the album is not a certified classic, for a compilation record, it does a great job of sewing everything together like a true album, and is a sign of even greater things from the duo yet to come.
Yeah I agree with the review. I liked this LP and a few songs are really choice and will get some more spins but overall I was a bit underwhelmed.

Friedman analyzes and offers some new insights on four Geniza letters concerning the transfer of money to the well-known litterateur Judah ha-Levi; Israel M. Sandman analyzes and presents a critical edition of four fragments from Abraham Bar Hayya's Book of Intercalation that represent his harmonization of science and biblical exegesis; Michael G.

Eli and Daniel al-Q?mis? in their exegetical approaches to biblical prophecy); history of modern scholarship (Maria Angeles Gallego presents an overview of the stages of modern European research -- beginning in the 18th century -- on medieval Judaeo-Arabic, with specific emphasis on Iberian Spanish scholarship), Jewish socio-cultural history (Moshe Gil provides a glimpse into the state of food commerce in the Geniza community from the evidence of merchants' letters; Joshua Holo considers the evidence for Gershom b. Judah's Italian extraction and its relevance for understanding the origin of Ashkenazic Jewish culture; Benjamin Z. Kedar evaluates the evidence for the timing of the relocation of the Tiberian Yeshiva first to Ramla and then to Jerusalem; Norman A. Stillman provides a comparative survey of the Islamic and Jewish perspectives on corporal modesty); textual criticism (Daniel J. Lasker surveys and assesses the history of a specific textual variation in Judah ha-Levi's Book of the Kuzari); codicological-textual history (Paul Saenger analyzes the relationship between chapter divisions of the Pentateuch in Christian -- especially Latin -- Bibles and those in Jewish tradition); Dead Sea Scrolls (Anthony J. Tomasino critically evaluates the formation and support data for the current consensus regarding the messianic nature of 4Q246; Michael O. Wise analyzes the content and dating of the manuscripts from Murabba'at and considers their contribution to our knowledge of various personalities both living during and involved in the First and Second Jewish Revolts); and historiography (Isaac Kalimi assesses the historiographical method of the writer of the book of Chronicles in light of both inner-canonical and extra-biblical considerations). Also included is a comprehensive bibliography of the honoree's works as well as discrete indexes of manuscripts, biblical references, classical and medieval works, and general items.

Why Isn't Everyone Growing Business by Content Marketing?
I have to admit that when I first decided to get into this business, I thought I was going to find that virtually everybody had already adopted the methodology of growing businessby content marketing. But I was wrong.
There are just an amazing number of people with narrow target audiences who are doing the wrong things. Some get well ranked purely by accident and without any deliberate control. They could do so much better with such a small amount of directed effort!
Tune in and discver how to deliberately target an audience on the internet. Wouldnlt you like have gueranteed customers calling on you, instead of you cold calling on customers who might have no interest in you whatsoever? I know that I hate cold call selling. Do you?

Source: Jennifer Lopez deal with 'Idol' imminent
NEW YORK (AP) - A person familiar with negotiations to bring Jennifer Lopez back as an "American Idol" judge says her return will be announced this week.
The person said Monday that a deal is close to being signed with Lopez, who was an "Idol" judge for the 2011 and 2012 seasons. The person wasn't authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The person says Lopez decided to rejoin the show because its production schedule will allow her to spend more time with her children, 5-year-old twins Emme and Max.
Lopez will join returning judge Keith Urban and a third person who hasn't been announced.
Fox has declined to comment on whether Lopez is joining "American Idol" and did not immediately respond to another request for comment Monday.
Lopez's agent did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
AP Television Writer Lynn Elber in Los Angeles contributed to this report.

Print loses ground but digital advertising and online databases make gains.
Posted 04/22/2014Thad RueterPost a comment
Tracking activity across the Internet is far from straightforward in the age of multiple browsers, devices and applications consumers use to access the web. Yet cookies dropped into browsers are still the main way advertisers target ads to consumers online. The IAB suggests alternatives that may protect consumer privacy while also improving marketers' ability to make use of their web activity data.

13 Year-Old with Cerebral Palsy Wins First Wrestling Match
By @jschonb on December 06, 2012
BlogHer Original Post
A mom's video of a now-famous middle school wrestling match has been lighting up Facebook this week and brought national and local media attention to two Tennessee families.
The attention, the tears and the loving comments made about the exhibition match between a Freedom Middle School wrestler and a Sunset Middle School wrestler who has cerebral palsy have come quickly as the videos have spread.
A crew from Good Morning America interviewed Jared Stevens and his dad, Phil Stevens, at Sunset Middle School for the following segment:
I see a lot of inspiring sports stories but this one really got to me - and apparently I'm not the only one. The Tennessean reports that the story has echoed throughout the local county and around the world.
"At 13, Jared is physically equivalent to a 6-month-old, his dad said. Intellectually, he's very close to his age level. Socially, he hits it out of the park.
Jared practices with the Sunset wrestling team every day and is often a vocal leader, said wrestling coach Clay Mayes. Jared helps by barking out commands. "'You gotta cross face!' he'll yell," Mayes said. Then he'll get on the mat with teammates, who've taught him some moves.
After Mayes learned that Jared wanted to have a match, he called his longtime friend and Freedom coach Randy Stevens before the schools faced off in duals last Thursday.
"It wasn't about weight class," Mayes said. "I told him to point me toward the kid who has the kindest heart."
Easy. That's Freedom seventh-grader Justin Kievit."
Twelve-year-old Justin Kievit did something very few wrestlers would be willing to do: He threw the match. After shaking hands with his opponent, Justin got down on the floor and let himself be "pinned" by helping Jared to wrap his arm around him.
I dare you to watch the clip and not tear up. Kudos to both kids and their families.

"These proposed missions are very cost effective ways to provide new results that can be directly compared to the landmark Deep Impact findings as well as with the results of Deep Space 1 and Stardust."
Related quotes
"The way we speak of our parents teaches our children the way they will speak of us to our grandchildren."
"When you discover your mission, you will feel its demand. It will fill you with enthusiasm and a burning desire to get to work on it."
"It would be helpful to have a similar type of mission go to an asteroid and compare the results, ... That mission is Deep Interior. It has been proposed in the past to NASA's Discovery program, but has not been accepted."
"This mission in particular has been designed to provide great benefit to all parties, not only for the explorers who fly, but also to the ISS program as a whole,"
"Northern Command's mission to protect the homeland against foreign threats is separate and distinct from its mission to provide support to civil agencies in the event of a terrorist attack of catastrophic proportions, ... So part of the confusion you're seeing is the natural shaking-out process as the Defense Department stands up a new command and adopts a new mission that most generals assumed with great reluctance in the first place, given that their forces and budgets were already stretched thin. In that sense, Admiral Keating's comments were probably less about someone gunning to take the lead, and more a reflection of how much support Northern Command will likely be asked to provide in the event of a real catastrophe."

Van Morrison In The Garden Lyrics
Last updated: 05/17/2014 07:54:00 PM
The fields are always wet with rain
After a summer shower
When I saw you standin'
Standin' in the garden
In the garden
Wet with rain
You wiped the teardrops from your eye in sorrow
And we watched the petals fall down to the ground
And as I sat beside you I felt the
Great sadness that day
In the garden
And then one day you came back home
You were a creature all in rapture
You had the key to your soul
And you did open
That day you came back
To the garden
The olden summer breeze was blowin' gainst your face
The light of God was shinin' on your countenance divine
And you were a violet colour as you
Sat beside your father and your mother
In the garden
The summer breeze was blowin' on your face
Within your violet you treasure your summery words
And as the shiver from my neck down to my spine
Ignited me in daylight and nature in the garden
And you went into a trance
Your childlike vision became so fine
And we heard the bells within the church
We loved so much
And felt the presence of the youth of eternal summers
In the garden
And as it touched your cheeks so lightly
Born again you were and blushed
And we touched each other lightly
And we felt the presence of the Christ within our hearts
In the garden
And I turned to you and I said
No guru, no method, no teacher
Just you and I and nature
And the Father in the garden
No guru, no method, no teacher
Just you and I and nature
And the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost
In the garden
Wet with rain
No Guru, no method, no teacher
Just you and I and nature and the Father AND THE SON and the Holy Ghost
In that garden, in the garden, wet with rain
Yeah. Alright.
No Guru, no method, no teacher
Just you and I and nature and the father In the garden
Treasure your summery words | Reviewer: Dunbar | 5/13/14
Some of the comments written by other people here beautifully express the emotions this song evokes. I am glad to share these feelings. I met a homeless man 20 years ago who had been beaten up. My then girlfriend an I went to help him. We waited with him for an ambulance. Whilst he sat on the floor covered in blood he looked like Christ. He sat singing lines from Van the Man songs. My girlfriend cried for days as we listened to these words. Life is so hard at times but there is always Hope
In the Toilet | Reviewer: jan moran | 11/29/13
Pure crap. The lyrics sound like he wrote them sittin on the bowl in the outhouse in his back garden. Just you and I and nature calling. He's a big fraud. Stream on consciouness my A--. Stream of the runs,
Beautiful | Reviewer: Anna | 8/27/13
Today is a bad day, one of the worst days of my whole life, but this song gives me hope and peace. Thank you, Father, for a beautiful and touching song like this one. Not all religious songs are gospel ones.
Van's Genius | Reviewer: Shirley Baker | 6/9/13
In The Garden and These Are The Days are both so exquisite, I am breathless whenever I hear them. Pure bliss. I love Van's voice, lyrics and all that he sings.......He never fails.
PERFECTION!!! | Reviewer: Van Morrison | 10/24/12
I first heard this song on July 4th 2009 when I proposed to my wife. It touched me then and it still touches me to this day. She is gone now, but I think of her and her family every time that I listen to this song. As the days go by, it comes up from time to time as a shuffle within the mass amount of songs from my itunes collection and I just cant help to think that one day, she will come back home... to this garden!
Wow, moved again with the Van | Reviewer: Robert | 7/5/12
In the Garden stirs me at a very deep level. This was our song - my wife subsequently moved on but when I hear this song it reminds me of our wonderful life together. I would love to meet a woman that is as moved by this song as I am - If I find her I know I can't go wrong. Van's music has moves me like no other artist, he is truly a poet and artist of the highest caliber.
Gorgeous and uplifting | Reviewer: seeker | 10/6/11
I heard this song for the first time the other day and it really touched me. I'm going through a very bad time right now and this beautiful song has helped to give me hope. Sounds like it's touched so many others, too.
Take me away, Van! | Reviewer: Debra | 4/21/11
Glory to God, Van! My husband and I have claimed this as our song! What a a beautiful blend of spirit, soul and love! I feel transported to a heavenly place when I hear these lyrics. It's like John's Revelation---yet something I can understand. I believe I will meet my Maker in a garden just like this.
heaven on earth | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/17/11
this song is pure poetry. it captures how heaven visits earth and settles in wet gardens: the 'christ' (i dont hear that as meaning the man himself, but something more abstract), the countenance divine, and none of the trappings of organised religion (no guru and no method and no teacher) - all adding up in the way only van can do it. exquisite
he means so much | Reviewer: stephen durrant | 7/2/10
I am pretty new to the internet.I have been
lisening to van since 68. spent about 15 years
refusing to listen to anything but him, which
I now realize was rather silly.
Anyway, I got the lyrics up for in the garden and
I was blown away by the comments. Ifeel the same way for about 200 of his songs,
amazing | Reviewer: Sam | 7/29/09
I don't believe in God and I'm not involved in any religion, but this song is just amazing and I think it gives a certain strength to everybody who listens to it. everyone can interpret this song in his own way and it's that what makes this song so beatiful.
Beautiful | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/12/09
Went to church today and they sang "In the Garden" and I loved it. So I searched for the song tonight, feeling really low and this Van Morrison came up as a suggestion. I downloaded it. Truly a blessing, this song. Thanks be to God.
My life | Reviewer: Matt | 6/20/09
I am a young musician mostly into hard rock and such but this is probably the first song I remember from my childhood. I ignored it for several years but as I came back to it I realized that this is and always was my favorite song. It's an emotional journey through my childhood memories and truly Is one of the most...the most beautiful song I ever heard
would like to know.. | Reviewer: Sharon | 1/24/09
I have the live version of this and there is a line that I would like to know..ie..'let Him take His wife to the _?_________?____.' Would really appreciate it if someone could let me know. Thankyou .
I agree with you all | Reviewer: Bob Haskell | 11/16/08
This is indeed one of the most spiritually, emotionally, passionately beautiful songs of all time, sung by the passionately beautiful Van under full sway of his Muse and his gift.
I love it, too. It has punctuated my life at its most intense moments, and is one of my favorite treasures in life...

Coca-Cola Is Betting Big On A New Kind Of Milk That Costs Twice As Much As Regular
Source: http://www.businessinsider.com/coca-cola-is-launching-fairlife-milk-2014-11
Coca-Cola is launching a new kind of milk nationwide that the company says will "rain money."
The product is called Fairlife and it will sell for twice the price of regular milk when it hits store shelves nationally in December, Coca-Cola's North American chief, Sandy Douglas said at Morgan Stanley's Global Consumer Conference last week.
"It's basically the premiumisation of milk," Douglas said.
The milk doesn't contain lactose and it has 50% more protein and calcium than regular milk, as well as 30% less sugar.
Fairlife is "a milk that's premiumize and tastes better and we'll charge twice as much for it as the milk we're used to buying in a jug," Douglas said, according to a transcript of his remarks.
The milk is made on a sustainable dairy farm with "fully sustainable high-care processes with animals" and "has a proprietary milk filtering process," he explained. "The test markets have been amazing, and we've created a joint venture with a bunch of dairy farmers who are innovative leaders in the dairy industry."
This is the beginning of a long-term investment in the dairy business for Coca-Cola.
"We're going to be investing in the milk business for a while to build the brand so it won't rain money in the early couple of years," Douglas said. "But like Simply [orange juice], when you do it well it rains money later."
Coca-Cola's investment comes at a tough time for the milk industry. Fluid milk sales have been declining for the last four decades.

drag2share: This Shocking Stat Shows Why Budweiser Is In Huge Trouble
source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/businessinsider/~3/eiqbte2nh6s/many-millennials-havent-tried-budweiser-2014-11
Budweiser is quickly losing its status as the dominant beer brand in America.
A recent company study found that 44% of drinkers 21 to 27-years-old have never tried the brand, reports Tripp Mickle at The Wall Street Journal.
Budweiser is the third-most-popular beer brand in America, behind Bud Light and Coors Light. It has recently also been challenged by craft beer, which is hugely popular with the millennial set.
At the brand's peak in 1988, it was selling 50 million barrels of beer a year. That number has declined to 16 million barrels today.
To "stop the free fall," the company has decided to double down and advertise only to millennials, WSJ reports.
"It means February's Super Bowl ads will feature something more current than last year's Fleetwood Mac," Mickle writes. "It means less baseball and more raves with DJ group Cash Cash."
The company's move to finally reveal the ingredients in its beer was also probably an attempt to attract millennials, who notoriously care more about what they're consuming.
Amazon Search: How Important Is The Top Result?
source: http://www.marketingcharts.com/online/amazon-search-how-important-is-the-top-result-48541/?utm_campaign=rssfeed&utm_source=mc&utm_medium=textlink
Various pieces of research have illustrated the extent to which search rankings affect click-through rates, with a recent study from Marin Software demonstrating that the top result garners at least 30% of clicks across devices. But what about product searches on Amazon? A new analysis from Compete takes a look, noting that! Amazon represented an impressive 22% of consumers' desktop visits to any online retailer in September.
(Last year, a study from Compete and GroupM Next found that when consumers visited a retail site online during the path to an electronics purchase, 1 in 3 went to Amazon.)
Those are compelling statistics which lead the analysts to note in the latest study that "for manufacturers of toys, diapers, groceries, auto parts, and everything in between, being on Amazon, and more importantly being seen by consumers on the site, is paramount to ecommerce success."

source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/businessinsider/~3/hQViAaOtFU0/afp-advanced-cyberspying-tool-dates-from-2008-2014-11
Washington (AFP) – A highly sophisticated cyberspying tool has been used since 2008 to steal information from governments, businesses and others, security researchers said Monday.
The security firm Symantec said the malware, known as Regin, was seen "in systematic spying campaigns against a range of international targets," including governments infrastructure operators, businesses, researchers and private individuals.
Symantec said the malware shares some characteristics with the Stuxnet worm– a tool believed to have been used by the US and Israeli governments to attack computer networks involved in Iran's nuclear program.
Because of its complexity, the Symantec researchers said in a blog post that the malware "would have required a significant investment of time and resources, indicating that a nation state is responsible."
The researchers added that "it is likely that its development took months, if not years, to complete and its authors have gone to great lengths to cover its tracks."
They described Regin as "a multi-staged threat," with each stage hidden and encrypted.
Each individual stage provides little information on the package and "only by acquiring all five stages is it possible to analyze and understand the threat," the researchers said.
- Lurking in shadows -
"Regin's developers put considerable effort into making it highly inconspicuous," Symantec said.
drag2share: Google Is Closing Its Google Glass Stores

Google is closing all its Basecamp stores, the physical retail shops where it sold Google Glass, according to 9to5Google.
According to this post on Google+ from a Google Glass developer, the company no longer needs the stores because so many people are buying the smart glasses online.
But the move also comes after several rounds of not-great news for Google Glass. Some major developers — like Twitter — have stopped supporting their apps on Google Glass.
Reuters reported recently that several companies that adopted Google Glass early on have lost interest in the device.
There were only four places in the world where people could buy Google Glass in a Basecamp store: Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York City, and London. We took a trip to the London one.
drag2share: Here's The Google Ad Taking Over The New Mega Screen On Times Square (GOOG)
source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/businessinsider/~3/sVM2RVk23F4/google-advertises-on-biggest-times-square-billboard-2014-11
Here is the Google ad that is taking over the huge new billboard on New York City's Times Square.
From Monday, Nov. 25, Google becomes the inaugural advertiser on the screen, which runs nearly a length of a football field from 45th to 46th Street along Broadway, and is eight stories tall. The display is made up of 24 million pixels and it is the highest resolution LED screen of its size in the world.
Passers-by will be able to use Google's Androidify app on Android and iOS to create their own Android character to play with on the big screen using their smartphones from Monday afternoon through Tuesday.
Those that can't make it down to Times Square can still submit their character to appear on the big screen. If it appears on the billboard, Google will send you an email of the character up in lights.
Google is using the billboard to showcase its lead products, beginning with newly introduced Nexus handsets and tablets, through to Android Wear, Chrome and Maps.
The company also plans to "gift" media space and time to six non-profit organizations and one Google-related cause project: Made with Code (internal to Google); Charity Water; WWF; Khan Academy; NRDC; Donors Choose and Give Directly.
The cost of advertising on the billboard space, which is situated above the Marriott Marquis Hotel and operated by Clear Channel, has not been disclosed.

Notes: World Cup-related video ads trounced Super Bowl ads in sharing activity across Facebook, Twitter and the blogosphere, says Unruly. Ads related to the World Cup accounted for 4 of the 20 most-shared video ads of the year, led by "La La La" (Activia's collaboration with Shakira), which picked up more than 5.8 million shares from launch in May through November 19th. In fact, the video is now the most-shared ad of all time, per Unruly's figures. Meanwhile, Budweiser's Puppy Love (#4 with slightly fewer than 2 million shares) was the only Super Bowl ad to make the top 20 most-shared.
drag2share: 3D printing technique will put electronics into just about everything
source: http://www.engadget.com/2014/11/23/3d-printed-quantum-dot-led/?utm_source=Feed_Classic_Full&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget&?ncid=rss_full
You can use 3D printing to make a handful of electronics, such as antennas and batteries, but LEDs and semiconductors have been elusive; you usually need some other manufacturing technique to make them work, which limits what they can do and where they'll fit. A team of Princeton researchers recently solved this problem, however. They've found a way to make quantum dot LEDs (and thus semiconductors) using only a 3D printer. The scientists choose printable electrodes, polymers and semiconductors, which are dissolved in solvents to keep them from damaging underlying layers during the printing process; after that, the team uses design software to print the materials in interweaving patterns. In this case, the result is a tiny LED that you could print on to (or into) many objects, including those with curved surfaces.
The researchers believe that the current technology could be used to make smart contact lenses with built-in displays, or bionic implants that use lights to stimulate nerves. That's only just the start of what's possible, however. Since the approach should work with other semiconductors, it could be used to put solar cells, transistors and other electronics into places where they'd have previously been impractical or impossible. The Princeton scientists will have to to improve their 3D printing resolution and performance before that happens, but you could be looking at the key to a future generation of flexible and wearable gadgets.

drag2share: The Surprising Facts About Who Shops Online And On Mobile
source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/businessinsider/~3/hEL8Rg4QXvs/the-surprising-demographics-of-who-shops-online-and-on-mobile-2014-6
In the first quarter of 2014, 198 million U.S. consumers bought something online, according to comScore's quarterly State Of Retail report. That translates to 78% of the U.S. population age 15 and above.
But who are these shoppers driving the trend of buying online and on mobile devices?
In a new report, BI Intelligence breaks down the demographics of U.S. online and mobile shoppers by gender, age, income, and education, and takes a look at what they're shopping for, and how their behaviors differ.
It's important for retailers to know who their potential customers are online in order to market to them effectively.
Here are some of the most important takeaways about who shops online:
- The conventional wisdom is that women drive shopping trends, since they control up to 80% of household spending. However, when it comes to e-commerce, men drive nearly as much spending online in the U.S. as women.
- Men are more likely to make purchases on mobile devices. Fifty-seven percent of women made a purchase online in 2013, compared to 52% of men, according to a study conducted by SeeWhy. But 22% of men made a purchase on their smartphones last year, compared to 18% of women.
- Millennials, those consumers aged 18 to 34, remain the key age demographic for online commerce, spending more money online in a given year than any other age group. They spend around $2,000 annually on e-commerce. This, despite having lower incomes than older adults.
- Boomers and seniors have adopted mobile commerce. One in four mobile shoppers in the U.S. is over the age of 55. That's about even with their share of the overall U.S. population.
- Online shoppers tend to live in households with higher-than-typical incomes. An Experian survey found that 55% of e-commerce shoppers in the U.S. live in households with incomes above $75,000 (40% were in households earning $100,000 and above). The median household income in the U.S. is around $50,000, according to the Census.
CHART OF THE DAY: Apple Has Nearly A Billion Payment Cards On File (AAPL)
Source: http://www.businessinsider.com/chart-of-the-day-apple-has-nearly-a-billion-payment-cards-on-file-2014-11
Having payment card information is crucial for keeping customers within one's ecosystem, and the biggest tech companies have done a great job at convincing people that their services for sending/receiving payments and purchasing goods are trustworthy and worthwhile. But no company has more cards on file than Apple.
Based on estimates charted for us by BI Intelligence, Apple is nearing a billion iTunes accounts on file, and that number is likely to surge immensely. Customers in China can now link their UnionPay payment cards to their Apple IDs: For context, UnionPay is the largest card network in the world with more cards in circulation than Visa and MasterCard combined. (Not on this list: Uber, which has north of 12 million payment cards on file.)

CHEAP eats in SF/Berkeley
I am visiting SF next week and will be there for 3 days. I am travelling on a budget but want to experince great local food. I would prefer local places, off the beaten path, non-touristy.
I would like to find a great sushi place, or chinese place, or mexican place, or some other ethic cuisine that will blow me away. I have read previous posts on this subject, but they were a year or two old, and I know with cheap eat places, they might not be around.
So give me suggestions with neighborhood for lunch or dinner, or even breakfast if you have any. If you have some thoughts for Berkeley, let me know as well.
For me, cheap eats is $10-$15 per person.
thanks. looking forward to finding out some great places.
Here is an overview and several recent threads to get you started.
re: wolfe
As a visitor to SF, I think Larkin Express would fall into your cheap "ethnic" category nicely. We don't have any Burmese here in Vancouver to compare with (maybe part of why we have found it so satisfying) but I'd be hard pressed to find something I'd like to eat more than their tea-leaf salad. And the relatively recent addition of samusa soup made me very happy -- I liked it better than the version at Pagan which had a lot of unnecessary lettuce in it. It is in an area that locals sometimes warn tourists off but we have never had problems there. It is also mainly a daytime destination, though I believe it is now open till 8-ish on Friday and Saturday.
Larkin Express Burmese Kitchen
452 Larkin St, San Francisco, CA 94102
re: grayelf
Open till 8 on Friday and Saturday, also the name is now Larkin Express Burmese Kitchen. Tea leaf salad and moh hinga are still $5.50 each. Half a dozen combo platters get you two or three items, rice, and tea for $5.50 to $8.50 ($1 more after 3pm).
Poc-Chuc (Yucatecan) is another place with great food in that price range.
Cheese Board Pizza for a dirt-cheap, very Berkeley experience.
Cheese Board Pizza

re: Robert Lauriston
new hours: Monday 10:30 am to 3:00 pm, Tuesday thru Saturday 10:30 am - 8:30 pm. Closed Sunday. Go now and enjoy 10% off your dinner tab. $2 beers Happy Hour from 4 pm to 6 pm: Fat Tire/Corona/Tsingtao/Heineken
re: grayelf
Maybe you're confusing happy hours with BYOB? The latter's illegal in California if the place doesn't have a liquor license.
re: Robert Lauriston
You're right, thanks, and for clarifying how BYOB works in CA as well.
re: grayelf
Second Larkin Express. Great food for great prices. I'm now completely enamored with their corn and onion side...
What days are you planning to be in Berkeley and what days are you planning to be in SF? Will you have a car?
The Chow Digest is a good thing to read for recent tips.
It covers the whole Bay Area, but if you scroll through it you will see lots of recs for different places in Berkeley and SF like this one for falafel
Since you are from Chicago, pizza and Mexican you might want to skip here ... unless you want Cal Pizza
re: rworange
I will bein Berkeley on Monday and SF on Tuesday-Thursday.
Going to One Market for our nice meal. any thoughts?
Heard good things about Sai Jai Thai, anyone confirm.
If you had to choose between Larkin Express and Burma Super Star?
re: chiguy13
The food at Larkin Express is a big step up from Burma Superstar, but it's lunch only on Tuesday through Thursday, Burma Superstar's open for dinner.
re: Robert Lauriston
But you will easily spend double at Burma than you would at Larkin. And it is hardly twice as good...
re: chiguy13
One Market is fine, but it would not be my choice for a one nice meal in SF.
re: JasmineG
I have to agree. It is the last place I would send someone for a nice meal. It is the type of place that people take clients for lunch and dinner. It is part of a restaurant group by Bradley Ogden who has long ago sold his soul for a comfy income ... this is from someone who was almost a groupie of this chef when he started. If you are in Berkely, I'd use that nice dinner for the Cafe at Chez Panisse.
re: chiguy13
Sai Jai is just ok. I think Lers Ros is significantly better.
Two good restaurants in Berkeley specialising in cuisines you might not get much of in Chicago are --
Jayakarta (Indonesian): The nasi padang rice plate is a logical starting point for adventurous newcomers (chili-fried egg! sator beans! the rice itself sometimes sucks though), or else get something wrapped in a banana leaf: optimally, a whole fish.
Vik's (Indian chaat/snacks): If you've had first-rate chaat elsewhere, you'll find nits to pick about this place. Otherwise, order the lamb baida roti and something with the garbanzo chutney and be very satisfied. Wider menu on weekends. (NB: Vik's is moving in the very near future, but I think that's after your trip.)
Vik's Chaat House
2390 Fourth Street, Berkeley, CA 94710
Jayakarta Restaurant
2026 University Ave, Berkeley, CA 94704
Another thought if you don't want to do Chez Panisse is Incanto's special $30 three-course monday night dinner. Here's the report for week one
If you are on University Ave, stop by Chocoletier Blue. .He was a pastry chef who worked at Charlie Trotter and opened a chocolate shop here. The summer flavors are here and the stand outs are the raspberr and the smores. From the ongoing flavors the espresso is my favorite. For a $2 truffle, you can buy a piece of the best of the best. The cold chocolate drink is amazing too.
We like Cancun Taqueria in downtown Berkeley, at 2134 Allston Way between Shattuck Ave and Oxford Street. It's been reviewed on Chow before. Great selection, and it is right near BART.
Another great pizza place, about a mile or so from North Berkeley BART (Monterey and Hopkins neighborhood) is Gioia. Never know what 5 or so combos they'll have available, but all of them are good. It's at 1586 Hopkins ( gioiapizzeria.com ). Not a lot of choice and few seats, but a local favorite.
One Market doesn't make sense to me. Splurge on a budget, go to Dopo.
You might also check out Adesso (same people), which has free food at happy hour.
4293 Piedmont Ave, Oakland, CA 94611
4395 Piedmont Ave, Oakland, CA
I went to Kasa last night after reading about it in Travel and Leisure. Good place for a quick meal -- their specialty is the kati roll, which I understand is street food in India. Little wraps in Roti with indian fillings: I had the Chicken Tikka Masala and the Lamb Curry and they were quite tasty. They are made to order and the guy behind the counter was happy to explain the whole thing to me as well as add a bunch of jalapeno chutney to the wraps as I like it spicy. Fresh onions are a nice add as well.
Can't beat the price either, only 4.95 for one roll (snack), 8.95 for two (meal), and 11.95 for 3 (I'm starving). Also serve a platter that's two dishes plus roti on the side.
Nice places to sit and eat in as well. I think they serve beer and wine.
Kasa Indian Eatery
4001 18th St, San Francisco, CA 94114
re: stomsf
the thali lunch is $8.95 and two kati rolls are $7.95 at lunch time
re: stomsf
Their prices are relatively high compared with Indian / Pakistani fast food places in funkier neighborhoods.

Pirates of the Caribbean BD-Java game, Liar's Dice.
Just as few of us ponder exactly how our car's internal combustion engine works, so too have DVDs spoiled us into forgetting just how much technology there is working behind the scenes. This is more true of high-definition discs, because the technology isn't just about better resolution and sound, but about new ways to access and control content.
And when it comes to Blu-ray disc, that means BD-Java, a software platform which provides content developers with a greater level of flexibility for creating and experimenting with new features, many of which were not envisioned when the format was being developed.
Sven Davison, VP, Worldwide DVD Product Development, for Fox Studios lists five reasons why Java was chosen as the basis for the Blu-ray platform:
BD-Java provides an opportunity to radically change and constantly evolve disc exploration (menu) experiences, says a spokesperson for Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment. For example, a multi-disc experience can be created to keep users engaged in an episodic world. Disney just introduced this capability through a feature called SeasonPlay on the BD release of the TV series "Lost: Season 3." SeasonPlay allows the player to keep track of the user experience as the season progresses; providing information as to which disc should be inserted to continue viewing the season in sequence, and automatically continuing the season from exactly where users left off when returning to it later. As explained by Disney, this is essentially the technological evolution of the 'Play All' button on DVD, with the beauty being that it provides users with information even when a disc is not inserted into the player, and keeps them engaged and informed throughout the viewing session.
BD-Java is already making its impact felt on popular titles. Take the "Find-the-Car" game in "Cars" which lets you search for cars during the movie and save the results to view at another time. There's also the Jolly Roger host in "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" who navigates users through animated menus with state-of-the-art artificial intelligence, and Gusteau's Gourmet Game from "Ratatouille" which is a highly interactive fast paced feature which puts you in the kitchen as the new chef. Examples from Fox includes Trivia games ("Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer"), pop-up Maps ("Master and Commander), and an arcade-style game found on "Live Free or Die Hard." Davidson says that DVD set top games were clunky and did not have fluid graphics. "Now we can utilize fluid graphics within the bounds of the film," he says. There's also picture-in-picture capabilities - such as BonusView found in the upcoming "Sunshine." While picture-in-picture on DVD was created using seamless branching, now there can be two separate video streams married within the player, allowing for an independent stream that can last as long as the film.
The next "big" thing is something that will bring Blu-ray on par with a feature found on HD DVD: web interactivity. As BD-Live debuts in 2008, you'll be able to access a network, the Internet and enable web-related features. (Lionsgate announced they will be the first to bring this to market in the early part of the year.) Through the use of BD-Live, in conjunction with BD-Java, such things as online community features, e-commerce, film clubs, movie events, multi-player games as well as access to studio and user-generated content will become possible.
Disney says that BD-Java provides incredible opportunities for enhancement and further innovation in both disc viewing experiences and bonus content. Fox's Davidson also sees there being a great level of flexibility to BD-Java that will enable Blu-ray content features to grow over the next several years, with many new features that have not been imagined yet. "Fox is focused on expanding the user interface to provide new and compelling experiences where the consumer will interact with a movie to a much larger extent than is seen on any other format today," Davidson says. "BD-Java will allow Fox to bring this vision to reality."
