Curated For Me is a practice in which a customized shopping experience and an acceptance of AI recommendations are the norm and not the exception. See what this new trend means for your business.
Advancements in technology have enabled one-to-one messaging, and on-demand product and content personalization is now possible. Fully tailored content, customized messages, and shopping experiences that have been selected specifically for a consumer’s personality, interests, and lifestyle are becoming the norm, not the exception.
At the same time, consumer willingness to accept recommendations from bots and avatars is also growing as AI formats are becoming more relevant than traditional models and influencers. The brands and businesses that are able to tap into this trend and satisfy the individual desires of each customer will succeed.
In Malaysia, Spotify just partnered with a Kuala Lumpur-based mall, IPC shopping center, to recommend restaurants to consumers based on their playlists, using insights from Professor Robin Dando of Cornell University about how a person’s mood affects their sense of taste.
Previously, most brand communication was a one-way interaction from brand to consumers. But the dynamic has now shifted from mass to personal communication. One of the most exciting applications of Curated For Me is the growth of influencers and celebrities that are just as niche as consumer demands.
Miquela Sousa is a great example of this shift. The 19-year-old Los Angeles-based Brazilian and Spanish model and musician fills her Instagram feed with an endless stream of “outfit-of-the-day” shots, pictures of herself at events, and posts supporting social causes. Her Instagram followers, which currently number over 535,000, are dubbed “Miquelites.” But Miquela isn’t real. She’s an avatar. She’s the first of potentially millions—if not billions—of new models and influencers who can be personalized as needed.
With the ability to create customized shopping portals that feature either models made from composites of images that resemble ourselves or the people we aspire to be based on things we’ve liked in the past, e-commerce platforms could visually connect with potential buyers in completely new ways.
Imagine a future where travel platforms and ride-hailing companies have a more personalized touch. It’s a future in which travel platforms will shift their roles from travel consolidators to being concierges and curating services under one platform, owning the travel experience from start to finish.

Cassie, a young dragon from Dragon Land, has volunteered to help three of her siblings earn their Dragon Badges and learn to fly. As she guides them one by one through Dragon Land they each encounter different situations where they need to give assistance. Among them:Arlo needs to have some junk fitted back into place in his Junkpile - find the right spots for each shape. The items can be dunked in the shrink and grow pools to change their sizesZak and Wheezie, a double-headed dragon pair, can't agree on a toy to play with - choose a toy that meets both of their requirementsA giant has stumbled outside Mr. Dustfree's house and shaken up all his shelves - each shelf needs to be sorted by finishing patterns. There is also a Swirloscope to re-assemble and play with - place crystals on a lens and spin it to see the intricate patterns that are created.The Royal Horseflies have gotten loose and must be re-captured and put into number-defined groupsPrincess Kidoodle is trying to draw, but someone keeps sweeping off the objects she's sketching - the player chooses which item is the missing oneAs each dragon finishes a group of games correctly, he earns a Dragon Badge. Once all three have their badges they can proceed to the training grounds for more mini-games and arcade-style flight lessons.
All actions are accomplished with mouse-clicks; most of the time the cursor is a yellow star that throws off sparkles when there is something to click on, but in some activities it takes on a special shape, such as a net, or an arrow. On the lower left of the screen is a back arrow, and on the right, a character who will help by explaining the current game. At some points there will be a rainbow-hued shape on the left that allows the player to exit or start a new game, and a house icon on the right that takes him back to Cassie's house. This game explores a lot of pre-school skills, most of them precursors to math learning. Skills include counting, number recognition, logic, patterns and sequencing, shapes and sizes, matching, memory, and classifying.

Music: The priority we live by, but can we afford to use by?
Music has been all around us and has made much of style since it’s creation. The indigenous past time went through it’s many incredible cycles. It started with the ominous and vintage vinyl player. That upgraded, eventually, to the casette player. And, as you can guess, that came to the Ipod. And, now the Ipod leads the world in music. But music costs money, and today’s music producers deserve the right to automatically share with their listeners. But what makes this topic so debatable? The fact of the matter is that music producers and artists receiver more money and credit than their audience wishes to pay them. If you look at prices on Itunes, 1.99 may not seem bad for a song, but those prices add up, and as you slowly, or increasingly, make your way up to 100 songs, you’ve wasted 200 bucks. Sorry cash that could have easily made it to a better purchase. Tax hikes recently on music have also brought me to this topic. This heated debate between the consumer and producer have given way to corruption as many fill their hands with more and more cash as prices for songs go up. Spotify recently was filed for tax hike by music producers. That is absolutely insane by my standards as I see paying for the service of listening to my favorite bands an outrage in itself. As a free member, I believe music should be free. The mass market of artists make high above normal, and don’t need the extra green to live. So why price the music? The producers want to earn money, and to do that, they can’t let people listen to the music. They want you to buy the music. Sure it may be their credit, but is a two minute song really worth spending on?
I love coding and re-visioning the web. Designing it and redesigning it. Pixel by pixel. And technology and news rule my life. Check out my stories here and you shall truly see what I mean.
Facebook’s IPO: The Killer Company’s Decision That’s Killing Itself.
I come from a position that once used to be a web for all to share. Copyright content was non talked about, until a resent tragedy that left us all nervous and wallowing in fear. This was the start of an evil opponent to the internet. Many of us take it in some views, and others in another perspective, but I believe this bill should be put to rest. The uprising of many protesters has not been pretty, and more may come if this demon of a bill breaks through this coming Tuesday.
This bill, proposed to pass, may, in fact, not be all that it says. It holds truth, also, to cutting off sites IMMEDIATELY. So, say you have a song, maybe on your site. It could be anything infringing. You may not know it, but Comcast could immediately take your site off their IPS. That is incredibly bad in a way that they can actually take you to court. This is an immediate threat that many of us on here have never come to. Having to pay to use pictures, video, or music? That’s insane. Many of you, i’m sure, have heard of Blogger. They’re huge Google company, but SOPA could force them out of business. Blogs currently hosted on there have copyrighted content. So, Google and ISPs would block that. But, I know what you’re thinking. What about my site? If it’s on a domain name, you may be lucky to get the IP address in the box and head to the site while in affect.
Global perspective could bring down the internet usage worldwide. And you may be wondering why? This is because foreign targets are suspected as copyright violators. While you may be able to view your site from that country, if you live there, and it contains copyrighted material, you won’t see it here in the U.S. The bill also puts pressure on ads. Many companies rely on ads, Google being one of them. When ads are taken away, so is that company. And the fact that SOPA is doing this is not going to help anyone in this situation. The ads from the infringing site, global sites included, are found on Google now, they will no longer be found later. This is a big regime to keep the money coming to the media companies. Hey, my blog is awesome, let’s put up an ad. Oh, wait. You have a photo, maybe from Engadget or Huffington Post, on your site. Now, your site is shut down, and no ad for you. This may infuriate users, but I see a globally hacking spree coming. Anonymous, the world-famous group, hacked a few sites recently in opposition of MegaUpload shutting down. FBI arrests of MegaUpload’s founders were made, and not much good will come out. And censored search results will come into play. Money is lost and money is gained, and this will not be an easy task to tackle through.
SOPA will also make building a startup harder. New regulations put into place will most likely bring less innovation. And less innovation almost falls to a monopoly, or oligarchy of the internet. These rules will weaken the internet indescribably. Say goodbye to Grooveshark and many other free services you use, as building another one will be made even more complicated than the first. Going through domain names is another subject. You may want to go foreign on domains, if SOPA passes, seeing as you may not have copyright issues there.
Much has gone through the past 4 months now. Fear and nervousness wretch through your bodies as you anxiously await the gruesome fate of the internet as it lies towards it’s bed of disease. This never-ending virus will push you off from where you started. Anger and rage will soon flourish after this passes (hopefully not). Anonymous has helped by taking sites down today, and many others may be able to bypass SOPA. Other’s will find it difficult and may give up. Vote No at AmericanCensorShip.org, and write to him today. Before the fate of the internet’s hands is left beside the devil himself.
The season of giving has headed up so fast, you might not have felt the holidays until now. And the thoughts pile up. What should I buy for the holidays, whether it’s a family member or a friend. But if it’s a tech gift, we’ve got you covered. The many devices emerging this year are great, so for you shop-ahaulics, and you wise money-spenders, we’ve got the list for you. Many tablets and mp3s mare dropping in, plus phones, cameras, and 3d video glasses? Check below and become worry-free with the excellent list.
The Kindle Fire seems to be the talk-of-the-town this holiday season, and for many reasons, you can see why. This sleek tablet carries a vibrant 7 inch screen. This is great for viewing HD movies. It’s perfect for most apps, and has a super fast silk browser, cloud support, and more! This is the go-to tablet for last minute shopping.
Now, if you’re upgrading from point-shoot cameras to mid-dslr range cameras, this one is for you. The $600 price line may shock you, but it pays off in reassurance from it’s magnificence. This amazing little device is the smallest micro four-thirds camera with complete dslr sensor and 1080p video. So, to step up your photo game on a last-minute rush, head to pick up one of these babies!
Finally, if you’re looking for a great laptop that’s at least 500 bucks cheaper than a macbook, and have money in town pick up this slick beauty. This laptop has great strength with overall fantastic graphic and performance quality, great for work, and free time roaming.
This concludes our overview of some last minute holiday gifts. If you wish to include some more items, please comment, and tell us.
Minecraft: A Game Of Excellence. A Game Of Legendary Status.
Minecraft has reached millions, and continues to grow. For It’s title, it has reached legendary status. 30 million copies sold and a game of never ending excitement has given the name Indie Game a new name. The popular title started off a mere 2 years ago. The game settled off Stockholm, Sweden, as these developers would release the next biggest Indie Game. Minecraft started as a world. Just a world. To create and edit unique buildings and shapes out of blocks. Updates were made, with many changes. They added day and night and new music. New blocks were also concealed in forthcoming packages. The ability to move blocks and items via redstone was also added. Pistons and coyotes. Ghasts of the underworld. Hundreds, if not more, items have been pushed through this immense process, until today. Minecraft 1.0 officially kicked off yesterday! But while that news may mean nothing, the game officially has no glitches or bugs. Continuous updates of the game will launch, as promised. But more to this package was added that made our mouths water. Minecraft: Pocket Edition. Now, Minecraft for the IOS and Android may seem difficult to play, but Mojang perfected the game, in classic mode, of how platformed-gaming should be done. The easy touch and break blocks and glitchless, for now, has gotten this game ranked #1 in the App Store, although not released until yesterday. With that being said, Minecraft is also launching…for Xbox! That’s right, and the interface seems outstanding. Check out the videos below, and feel free to share your comments.

While there has been abundant scholarship on medieval Christian and Jewish preaching, Linda G. Jones's book is the first to consider the significance of the tradition of pulpit oratory in the medieval Islamic world. Traversing Iberia and North Africa from the twelfth to the fifteenth centuries, the book analyses the power of oratory, the ritual juridical and rhetorical features of pre-modern sermons and the social profiles of the preachers and orators who delivered them. The biographical and historical sources, which form the basis of this remarkable study, shed light on different regional practices and the juridical debates between individual preachers around correct performance.

There’s been a lot of commotion in the news lately over the treatment of farm animals — pigs in particular. Last month the Lombardy Fair (among many others across the country) was pressured by a farm animal advocacy group to cancel its pig scramble, which would have happened this past weekend.
I wrote a news piece about it on our website (hometownnews.ca/pigscramble if you want to read the article), talked to both sides involved, laid out the facts, let our readers weigh in on the topic and kept my opinions out of it.
Now, the same organizer of that petition has contacted me to inform me of another initiative she is undertaking: an attempt to get a pig roast in Carleton Place cancelled.
This time, I’m laying out my own opinions.
To start: the event is $60.75 a person and starts at 6 p.m. with dinner at 7 p.m. It’s a licensed event so only those 19 or older are permitted. There will be no small children at this event.
That said, as a parent of two young girls, I would feel justified in saying that a pig roast is indeed a family-friendly event. Having a pig roasting on a spit may seem scary or violent to some but I see it as an opportunity to explain the circle of life to my kids. We eat meat in our house and what goes into getting the meat to our plates isn’t always pretty.
I think educating my children on where their food comes from is important. Making that connection makes them realize that this food was once alive. This animal died so we could eat. My goal is to teach them to not to be wasteful and to respect the animals that feed us by treating them well in life, and eating what is on their plates.
I know that the people behind this petition are, for the most part, vegans. So, of course they see this being an unfathomable event. But being a vegan is not a lifestyle I have chosen, and it is not the lifestyle that has been chosen by the organizers.
My motto is: to each their own. Eat what you want to eat, love who you want to love, raise your children how you see fit but don’t chastise other people for their decisions.
But for the record, through a simple phone call with one of the organizers to make sure I had my facts correct I found out that the pig being roasted is from a local farm, one that his restaurant has been shipping organic compost to since this pig was a piglet. As well, there will be non-meat options for those in attendance should a pork not be what you crave.
So it seems, that maybe this event is an “violent” as the petition makes it seem.
On the argument of tax-payer dollars going towards this, it is down right false.
For those who are worried about their tax dollars being spent on the processing of farm animals, take your concerns to Ottawa — not a community event in Carleton Place.
On the surface, it may seem like the petition is gaining lots of traction with it’s 2,500 or so signatures, but the majority of those people supporting this initiative are not local — or even Canadian.
There is a fine line we seem to be walking here. What’s next — no more charity BBQs because cows had to die to make the hamburgers and hotdogs? What about the wheat that was harvested to make the bread? Where does it stop?
Hi. I FULLY agree with you on this. It is ok to petition a cause, but be senceable.
Thank you for a balanced, thoughtful opinion article ‘I Eat Pork.’ I could not agree with you more… live and let live. Personally I love pork but that is beside the point. What I really wonder is how a person, in this case the promoter of the petition against the pig roast, believes they have the right to impose their views on others despite having done no research into the subject. Thank you for providing the facts, but I doubt someone like that would let a few facts interfere with their objective. I guess some people aren’t happy unless they are meddling in the lives of others.
Again, thank you for your research and candor.
What an interesting paper, never heard of it till today. I was given a copy. Excellent issue and I agree entirely with what you wrote. If people don’t want to eat the meat don’t go, let us poor individuals who want to enjoy what’s available do so. Thank you for your well written column.

Flat fee arrangements are amazingly liberating.
Most of my fellow litigators won’t take a case on a flat fee, either because they are concerned that they will grossly underestimate the time the case is going to take and end up with an effective hourly rate of $8.25, or simply because they think they’ll make more on a straight hourly basis.
I acknowledge that some cases just do not lend themselves to a flat fee because of the unknown factors, but when you have a case with a reasonably predictable time factor, a flat fee is a fantastic way to go, not because it earns you more (although it can), but because it allows you to do more.
This may be counter-intuitive to some, and probably blasphemous to attorneys that are only in it for the money, but I’m in it to win it, and a flat fee gives me greater freedom to do what I need to do to win.
With a flat fee, all those conversations are eliminated. If I think a demurrer is needed, I bring it. If I think more discovery is needed, I propound it.
And this isn’t pure altruism. Yes, I do this to win, but being free to do everything I want to do on a case may allow me to prevail on the action much more quickly, making the flat fee a winning bet for me financially.
Educate the client as to the fantastic deal you are offering, because other attorneys lie. Less scrupulous attorneys snare clients with a small retainer, never disclosing what the case could ultimately cost. So, one attorney is offering to handle the case with a retainer of $5,000, and there you are quoting a flat fee of, say, $25,000, not including trial. You need to make the client understand that a small retainer is a false economy if the fees ultimately go far beyond the flat fee you are offering. In one case I quoted an amazing flat fee for a client because he had limited funds and I really wanted the case because it presented a cutting-edge legal issue that would give me bragging rights if I won. When I didn’t hear back from him, I called to see what was going on. Turns out he had shopped my offer around, and another attorney had expressed shock and outrage that I would quote such a high number, telling the client the case would never cost near that amount. Three months later the client was back at my door, asking if I would still handle the case for the amount I had quoted. The attorney he retained had already billed him more than the flat fee I had quoted.
I think I’ve told this tale elsewhere on this site, but in another case, a client came to me on a Friday and, fearful that the defendant was going to leave the country with all his money, wanted me to seek an attachment order the following Monday. I quoted him a flat fee, which he paid, and informed him that I would have to work on the court papers all weekend to get it done. On Monday he called and told me not to do any of the requested work (which was all done at that point), because another attorney had told him that the procedure I was following was completely unnecessary. The other attorney told the client that with a call to the judge, he could just have the defendant put in jail until he paid the money owed. The client was upset that I had not advised him of this option. To me, the incredible part of the story is that when the client later called back wanting to hire me, because the “put the defendant in jail” attorney had not been able to accomplish that goal, the attorney had convinced him that the described method would normally work, but it appeared that the judge happened to be friends with the defendant. Never underestimate the whoppers that your learned brethren will tell.
Always offer an hourly and flat fee arrangement. To counter the above problem, your fee agreement should always offer both a flat fee and hourly arrangement. The client may have reason to believe that the matter is going to settle quickly, and therefore thinks a flat fee would be a waste. Be sure to include language that the flat fee is not an indication or estimation of what you think the case will cost on an hourly basis.
Make clear that you get to drive the bus. The agreement must provide that under the flat fee arrangement you have discretion to decide what is necessary to prosecute or defend the action, and that any requests by the client that you deem to be unnecessary will be billed on an hourly basis. Without this provision, the client will decide that since it is not costing him anything, you should take the deposition of everyone living in Malibu, just in case they know anything.
Break the flat fee into parts. Some attorneys who offer flat fees hedge their bets by quoting a flat fee that covers all the way through trial, knowing that most cases don’t go to trial. Not only is that unfair to the client, in my opinion, but it also results in sticker shock to the client and allows them to fall prey to those aforesaid lying attorneys. At a minimum break the flat fee into two parts — one for pre-trial and another if the case goes to trial. However, a flat fee for a trial can put you in an awkward position if, for example, defendant has a change of heart and stipulates to judgment. (I had that happen twice in back-to-back cases. I guess I’m just scary looking or something.) My fee agreement provides that the flat fee for trial is payable in advance, but will be treated as a cap, not earned upon receipt. I keep track of my hours, and if I pull off a quick victory, the client gets the flat fee back, less my regular hourly rate.
Liberate yourself! Go for the flat fee.

I guess I ’m just scary looking or something . ) My fee agreement provides that the flat fee for trial is payable in advance , but will be treated as a cap , not earned upon receipt . I keep track of my hours , and if I pull off a quick victory , the client gets the flat fee back , less my regular hourly rate .
 Liberate yourself ! Go for the flat fee .

West Virginia quarterback Major Harris, who scrambled his way from Pittsburgh's mean streets to stardom, will skip his final year of eligibility and enter the NFL draft.
"With some sense of regret, I am making myself available for the NFL draft and professional football," Harris said today at a news conference. "I do it because it's a great challenge, a great opportunity and a great benefit for me and my family."
During his three seasons as West Virginia's starting quarterback, Harris led the Mountaineers to three bowl games--all losses--and to their first unbeaten regular season in 1988.

text: Dan was on Good Morning America, Friday April 4th to discuss Gail Gerlach, 56, charged with manslaughter for shooting and killing Brendon Kaluza-Graham, as he attempted to steal Gerlach’s car. Gerlach claims that he thought he saw Kaluza-Graham pointing a gun at him and believed his life was in danger. Prosecutors contend that it was physically impossible for Gerlach to see the victim as the car was driving off and Gerlach firing his gun was reckless and unnecessary. Says Dan, “To argue self-defense – that you felt in danger when you used your gun on someone who was driving away – seems like a real long shot…But in practice, getting a jury to agree unanimously to convict someone for shooting at a man who was stealing his car out of his driveway could be really hard.” Watch the full clip here.

On Thursday 4 April, Rt Hon Clare Perry MP published an open letter to all heat network operators regarding Heat Trust, a voluntary industry scheme to raise consumer protection standards.
Energy Minister Claire Perry has written an open letter encouraging all heat network operators to join the voluntary Heat Trust scheme, in order to raise consumer protection standards ahead of legislation being introduced. This follows a Westminster Hall Debate on 19 February 2019.
The ADE published a briefing for members that is available here.
I encourage all owners and operators of heat networks who are not currently registered with Heat Trust and who do not offer equivalent standards to consider joining. The quality standards that the voluntary scheme sets out will give your consumers important reassurance and protections.
Heat Networks are vital to ensuring a cost effective move to a low carbon Britain. Putting customers at the heart of these networks is key and that's why clear independent standards are needed.
It is excellent to see the Minister for Energy and Clean Growth, Claire Perry MP, calling for networks to join Heat Trust.
Heat networks need to work for customers, and at Heat Trust we have been working to promote better customer service practices in the heat network sector since 2015. The standards we set are designed to ensure customers benefit from a level of service and protection that is comparable to the rest of the energy market.
We support the call for regulation, but proactive action is needed now. We welcome the Minister’s letter encouraging all heat networks to join Heat Trust. With over three years’ experience, Heat Trust can support the market to ensure heat suppliers are equipped and prepared for future regulation.
We also recognise that as the market evolves, so too should our standards. We are keen to work and engage with all types of suppliers to understand their needs and help inform future development of the scheme.
BEIS noted that if operators have difficulties meeting Heat Trust standards they should contact BEIS setting out the nature of their concerns: please email heatnetworks@beis.gov.uk.
The Heat Trust press release can be read here.

I can't believe how many art crushes I've found on Galleray. It's like all of my art soul mates are rounded up in one place... I decided to highlight Daniel Grant this week because, as a landlocked Colorado gal, I've always been slightly obsessed with the ocean and the whole beach lifestyle.
I grew up listening to Sublime, watching Dogtown and Z-Boys, and dreaming of moving to California some day. Hey, that still might happen... but in reality, I'd never be able to hang out in the sun all day (I'm Irish after all), I hate getting my hair wet, and I'm kind of afraid of the ocean. Still, a part of me dreams of being a surfer girl.
Daniel Grant creates his photos using a Holga camera. Love the Holgs! Although first created as children's toys, these cameras now have quite the cult following. They essentially take away the control and technical aspects of photography. Their poorly sealed cases are known for adding their own mark on the photos, like lens flaring, blurring, and vignetting.
When using a Holga, all you can do is try your best and surrender your control over the outcome... much like surfing. Whoa, did I just blow your mind?
