Watching people arrive at a Patagonia’s natural behemoths and instantly whip out their pole mounted GoPros to start taking selfies, you have to wonder whether we’d all just be better off if the camera was left at home (or at least the pole). The sense of having to have ‘something to show’ for the trip and upload to Facebook is a trap most of us of the digital age tend to fall into, not least of all me. I had thought, therefore, that my recent reduction to ‘cameraless’ status might somehow be a blessing in disguise; a burden removed, leaving nothing but to soak up the raw experiences and incredible sights. I was wrong. What I’ve come to realise is that, for me at least, photography has became a truly integral part of the trip; something that lets me express what it is about a place that interests me, as well as providing a much needed outlet for creativity (keeping at least a few of the brain cells on the left side busy, whilst the others slowly die of boredom).
This little post has therefore sprung into being as result of these musings, covering some recent highs of the trip photography and paying respects to a fallen hero.
Having served in Europe, Africa, Asia and now the Americas my trusty Olympus has finally given up the ghost. With a shutter count that would put a paparazzi to shame, it’s certainly seen some field action, along with no amount of abuse on my part. The list of problems is extensive, ranging from smashed LCD display, to missing aperture dial and a general mind of its own when it comes to deciding which shooting mode it’s in. Throw in a dodgy power connection, requiring one to adopt a rather unorthodox hold position with thumb forcing battery in place, and you’ve got the makings of a brilliant eBay listing. Battling on despite these injuries though, it ironically took the bizarre theft of the charger in Chos Malal to finally bring this workhorse to it’s knees.
Eeking out remaining battery life over past weeks, with a new charger en route via the Argentine equivalent of eBay, I’d hoped business could continue as normal. But with the new charger turning out to be a dud, and having probably blown my chance to get one sent internationally in time, I’m now effectively without a camera for the remainder of the trip. A bit of a blow I have to admit. That said, before reaching for the ‘unfollow’ button, with any luck the blog won’t be completely devoid of imagery going forward; I still have a semi-functioning phone and I’ll be sneaking some shots on Sam’s point and shoot when possible.
Used and abused, resale value zero, this is still my most treasured bit of kit.
Whilst I’m gutted not to have a ‘proper’ camera for Southern Patagonia, with the likes of Monte Fitzroy and Torres Del Paine taunting me, I’ve had a good run, being fortunate enough to photograph some truly incredible places, well off the usual tourist itinerary. Last month, shots from Peru’s Cordillera Blanca and Huayhuash made it into the Adventure Cycling Assocation’s annual photo contes, rolling in in 2nd place and bagging two of the runner up spots. Some shots are also featuring in and on the next issue of Bicycle Travelers magazine (along with probably the least factual article on stoves anyone’s cared to write).
We have really enjoyed your fantastic photography throughout. . What an advertisement for Olympus Cameras. Sorry that the OMD has finally given up. All the best , Connie and Ron Ellison.
First prize for the photo of the Bike and the Horse. Very expressive.
Thanks Emily. And apologies for filling your house with parcels!
I was looking forward to your photos from el sur.
But……great news on the comp entries. Great shots!
Like a vulture circling…I’d certainly take that 14mm off you when you are back.
Sorry to hear of the misfortune of your camera, congratulations on your competition entries, your pics are amazing.
I have an older Panasonic bridge camera FZ750 with a good zoom. Resale value next to nowt, but I can sling it across my shoulder on the bike and if it gets hammered no big deal. Not as good quality as a DSLR, but for me it does the trick.
Great to hear Alastair, theres definately a balance to be struck when youre travelling by bike, it sounds like youve hit a good sweet spot there.
Sorry that your camera has given up. Congratulations for pics chosen for magazine and competition entries. I have enjoyed your narration and amazing pics through out.
Ain’t a photographer’s life funny. We begin wishing for a camera which “swaps lenses” so we can perform our photography more “professionally”. Then we gather two or three zooms which cover more or less our needs. Then, digging in, we realize that “ultimate quality” comes from primes, and there we go, our lens set is replaced by the non-zoomable, optically superb ones. And then it starts taking its toll when we constantly have to swap from one lens to another, an impact on anyone’s creative process. Swapping being the very reason we opted for this kind of system, ironically. Then we set for a compromise, “one does it all” zoom lens and acknowledge that a little quality loss is acceptable as a trade-off for practicity.
Sorry for the death of your trusty companion, but on the other hand, very glad to see such beatiful images coming out of it. And it has taken some beating for sure. I’ve seen many a pro camera die from shutter infarction without seeing so much as 10k clicks, the smell of a new product still on it… Brave little one, this Olympus. May it rest on the top of the very mountain it gets its name from.
As a biker and photographer (although not as much a long distance biker as you) I’ve used to think that if you want to do it right you must chose one (either you cycle or you shoot, or neither of the activities will achieve full realization). Then I came across your blog and if that didn’t tell me I might be wrong, I don’t know what could.
Apologies for the long, tedious thoughts, and my best wishes of a great trip!
I’m fellow cyclist & photographer from Buenos Aires. Is there anything I can do to help? What charger do you need??
Hi Federico, thanks for the offer, but the trip is almost over now so its not a big problem.
I’d say hit up Olympus for a free fix or replacement in exchange for good press / story / advert on oh I don’t know how superb the optics are or how tough the system is…. You may just be surprised how generous they may be.
I also say sell them the rights to one final self portrait of you shooting into a mirror with your beat up, bandaged and still limping on OM5 in some incredible place (in the background)…… That may also do it.
haha thanks, I’ve already succumbed to a second hand one ebay though!
Very useful, thanks Paul. For a novice photographer do you think the OM-D E-M10 would be enough? Would it be a noticeable difference between that and say the E-M5 (or E-M1 for that matter)? Do you think I can get away with one lens? If so which would you go for? I hope to buy one when I pass through L.A.

Creation of a web application with an intuitive, responsive user interface for intelligent building systems and developing a voice communication module that allows for the controlling of a house by disabled people.
In 2011, the Cluster began a project with the aim of developing a new technology for constructing an autonomous system with unique and smart controls. The primary problem, which was a cornerstone of the system, was a need to monitor the parameters of the created technology, to collect data for further analysis and to create intelligent building systems friendly for people with disabilities.
The outcome of the project is a secure, web-based and smart building management system that allows you to monitor the current state and automatically control the building in the KNX standard. The system is equipped with, among other things, an automatic conditional-control mechanism that activates the desired action sequences in specific situations. A distinguishing element of the application is also the algorithms used for speech analysis and an interface to read voice messages, thus allowing people with disabilities to have voice-control of the building.
The prepared system with technology for building autonomous houses allows the client to launch their own product. The solution will also be installed in demonstration buildings equipped with modern appliances using KNX building automation.

How will Open Source play a role in the evolving 5G ecosystem?
Open source is reshaping technology adoption and is a critical driver for the transformation taking place in many industries. The emergence of SDN and NFV has fueled the growth of cloud-based services, and now with the convergence of information technology (IT) and communication technology (CT) the telecommunication industry is changing as well. Widespread adoption of open source projects such as the OpenAirInterface Software Alliance (OSA) and O-RAN Alliance are now transforming the RAN. We’ll explore the role of open source in U.S. and European testbeds and its potential transformational impact on SDO, telecom business models and 5G innovation.

American Community Television (ACT) announced today that it will lobby on behalf of Public, Educational and Government (PEG) access television stations across the country. Citing detrimental state legislation, federal agency rulings and access center closings in various states, the newly formed group is focusing its efforts at the federal level.
ACT will be meeting with legislators on Capitol Hill to discuss the Community Access Preservation Act (HR 3745-CAP Act) introduced by Representative Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) in October 2009. Additionally, ACT will be meeting with FCC Commissioners to discuss a pending rulemaking and a recent inquiry on the future of media and the critical role of PEG access in local media.
PEG access centers have been closed in Indiana, Illinois and California after state franchising laws were passed and funding was reduced or eliminated. Additionally, access channels have been slammed off the basic tier into the digital tier, well ahead of subscriber digital adoption, or not carried as full channels on the system, as is the case with AT&T’s U-verse application. The CAP Act would address many of these issues.
The ACT board consists of leaders in the PEG access and telecommunications industries: John Rocco (President) has twenty-two years experience as an Executive Director of access centers across the country; Lori Panzino-Tillery (Secretary) is the former President of the National Association of Telecommunications Officers and Advisors (NATOA) and currently General Manager for the City of San Bernardino, California, Inland Empire Media Group; Richard Treich (Treasurer) has over three decades experience in the telecommunications and utilities industries, first as Senior Vice-President for AT&T Broadband and TCI Communications and most recently as CEO of Front Range Consulting; Steven Fortriede founded Access Fort Wayne and several other access centers and served on the Alliance for Community Media board for several years; and Stephen Guzzetta is an owner of Bradley & Guzzetta, LLC, a nationally recognized law firm that represents clients on a variety of cable television and telecommunications matters. Leading the lobbying effort will be Bunnie Riedel, Executive Director. Bunnie is currently President of Riedel Communications and former Executive Director of the Alliance for Community Media.

Para el coloquio del jueves 17 de agosto, el tema será “Microporous materials for environmental applications”, por Diana Olivas, de la Università degli Studi del Piemonte Orientale, Italia.
One of the most pressing environmental challenges is the development and optimization of novel adsorbents to separate organic pollutants from groundwater. Zeolites – crystalline microporous aluminosilicates – are often used as molecular sieves and adsorbents because of their peculiarly high surface area, the molecular dimensions of their pores, and their high sorption capacity. We will present a multidisciplinary study of the host-guest (adsorbent-pollutant) interactions occurring at the interface between zeolite surfaces and organic pollutants. For the adsorbents, we use two commercially available hydrophobic zeolites, chosen on the basis of their pore structure. For the pollutants, we use toluene and n-hexane, two hydrocarbons chosen to model pollutants usually found in groundwater coming from industrial waste of oil refineries and gas stations. To mimic realistic conditions, we study the adsorption of mixtures of these two pollutants.

How to increase metabolism or is metabolism a myth?Home » 4 Metabolism Myths, Busted!
There are probably as many myths about your metabolism as there are truths. Some of the erroneous information has been around so long and so widely promoted that many believe it to be true.
2. Hot peppers burn more calories.
3. Caffeine boosts your metabolism.
4. A pound of muscle burns 100 calories per day.
The advice here has always been to eat breakfast within an hour after arising to get your metabolism revved up from your night of fasting. The truth is it is not as important that you eat as it is what you eat.
Make sure your breakfast consists of fiber, lean protein, and other nutrients. The cold hard fact is if you have to choose between a doughnut and nothing, choose nothing. You don’t need the saturated fat and sugar found in most baked goods. The spike in calories burned by your metabolism from eating a doughnut isn’t enough to offset the additional calories ingested.
While it is true that hot peppers burn calories, a presentation from a recent study from Experimental Biology suggests mild peppers have the same calorie potential without the mouth-singeing agony.
This is mostly true also, but it is highly dependent on the source of your caffeine. Drinking black coffee and tea provides a small caffeine boost, but if you get caffeine from energy drinks, you are better off not getting any boost at all. Energy drinks are loaded with sugar – up to 1/4 cup per drink in some cases. When all that sugar hits your bloodstream, abundant amounts of insulin are released and what your body can’t use at that time is stored as fat – belly fat. One of the most dangerous kinds of fat.
If you want to burn more calories, drink more water. Increasing your water consumption can burn an additional 17,400 calories per year or about 5 pounds.
This myth has been greatly over-exaggerated. Actually while at rest, muscle burns about 6 calories per pound of muscle per hour. However, that is still three times the amount that fat burns in the same amount of time – at just 2 calories per pound. So it still pays to lose body fat and gain muscle through exercising – it is just that the number of calories burned won’t be as significant as reported in the media.
These are just 4 of the more popular myths that have perpetuated themselves over the years. To increase your metabolic rate, it still comes down to eating healthy foods in the right portions consistently at the same times, along with cardio and strength training exercise.
Snacking is an essential element of any balanced diet and a valuable approach to keeping your body going throughout the day. On the other hand, the same as with main meals, eating an inappropriate type of snack foods can drastically influence on your energy levels and efficiency.

As we previously reported, Columbia Picture’s Salt, starring Angelina Jolie, has an interactive story you can participate in at their official website. Every week there is a new mission, and last week Salt needed you to track a Day X agent. This week, you’ll need to sneak into a Day X base to get photographic evidence.
For those catching up, the premise of the game is that Evelyn Salt (Jolie), a government agent, is on the run for being suspected of being a sleeper agent. Part of the terrorist plot called “Day X” is the awakening of these sleepers. Salt is trying to clear her name, and needs your help to do so. In the pre-game video for this week’s mission, you learn Salt has found Catherine Hicks in a Day X safehouse. You need to go in and take pictures of the package she received.
This week we have another easy game, and in the post-mission talk with your boss, you learn that the circuit board and chess code message you found are still an enigma to the Agency. Don’t forget about the hidden codes for extra points! You should be able to figure each out from the mission reports and other items on your “desk”. I don’t want to give them away, so head on over to Unfiction if you wish to cheat.

William Blake’s final words before his death in 1827 are said to have been, “I am going to that country which I have all my life wished to see.” But for the better part of two centuries, Blake’s unmarked grave meant that his final resting place remained largely unseen and unvisited—until now.
During a special ceremony on August 12, a memorial stone will finally be placed on Blake’s grave in Bunhill Fields, London’s cemetery for nonconformists and religious dissenters, the Islington Tribune reports. Although his grave was located in 2006 using directional coordinates that had been logged by cemetery staff, it took some time for fans to reach a consensus on the new gravestone's inscription, which is an extract from his epic poem "Jerusalem."
Although a memorial stone was erected in 1927 in honor of Blake’s memory, the language was rather vague, according to the book Rest in Pieces: The Curious Fates of Famous Corpses, by Mental Floss editor Bess Lovejoy. The inscription read, “Nearby lie the remains of the poet-painter William Blake … and of his wife Catherine Sophia.” The stone did in fact mark Blake's location, and the "nearby" referred to his wife.
However, in 1960, the stone was moved about 20 yards during cemetery renovations, and Blake’s grave once again went unmarked. It wasn’t until 2006 that two fans of Blake’s work, Luis and Carol Garrido, tracked down the exact location of Blake’s burial site—a common grave in which Blake lies buried beneath seven other bodies.
To fans of Blake, the memorial is a long overdue tribute to one of England's foremost poets. The gravestone unveiling ceremony on August 12 will feature musical performances, and 191 candles will be lit around Blake’s grave in commemoration of his death anniversary.

French/Corsican Abuse or Just Political Wars?
THIS morning we wrote about political aspects of the Battistelli regime inside the EPO (broader than just Battistelli himself) and earlier today somebody posted — in an anonymous comment — Friday’s message from Raimund Lutz, part of Team Battistelli (big internal news items tend to come out late on Friday when the European media goes to sleep).
I’m pessimistic about the EPO, the member states, and “Europe”.
A delegation of France’s Parliamentary Office for Scientific and Technological Assessment (OPECST), which is composed of members of both the French Senate and National Assembly, visited the EPO yesterday [7 July] for an exchange of views on the latest developments in the field of biotechnology inventions. The French delegation was headed by OPECST President, Jean-Yves Le Déaut, member of the French National Assembly, and also included representatives of the French Embassy. The task of the OPECST is to support the French parliament in gaining greater insight into technological and scientific matters on which it decides.
The meeting was held in a cordial and constructive atmosphere, and focused on various points of common interest, including recent developments in the European patent system. It also offered the opportunity for an exchange between the OPECST delegation and a team of EPO patent practitioners and legal and economic experts. With biotechnology specialists from DG 1 and DG 5 and the EPO’s Chief Economist present, the EPO gave a number of presentations on biotechnology patents, including on the economic aspects, and the legal framework governing the patentability of biotechnology inventions, with a special focus on the law and practice concerning inventions related to plants and human gene sequences.
On the occasion of the visit, the EPO President was given a “Médaille de l’Assemblée Nationale” by Jean-Yves Le Déaut in his capacity as member of the National Assembly.
It’s something that also Le Pen father would have received every year.
The other Corsican famously declared: « C’est avec des hochets que l’on mène les hommes. » But who is led by whom here?
Benoît B. doesn’t seem to have the decoration Bonap was referring to, however a Charles-Robert Battistelli was awarded one in 1930.
The article cited in this case, regarding the Corsican connection, was translated for us some months ago and maybe now is a good time to post what we have of it (this is not complete).
What does the social conflict at the European Patent Office stand for?
The social conflict at the European Patent Office (EPO) which has been ongoing for more than two years is now taking extreme proportions. The following address written by an acquaintance who is well in the know aims to present the reasons of the “forceps delivery” of a new “unitedstateseuropeanised” institution in charge of intellectual property, within the framework of the transatlantic partnership (TTIP/TAFTA). The author claims and shows that one should see in the brutal abolition of the rights of the staff, which is very autocratically conducted by its president (Mr. B. Battistelli), a preview of what awaits us all with the transatlantic partnership. The crisis of the European Patent Office is thus neither a categorical or corporatist conflict: it is in fact a laboratory of the subordination to US social standards — this is the tragic reality hidden by the sacharine expression “social standards harmonisation” — of the peoples of Europe who are destined to be dissolved into the United States. There are no monetary claims at stake in this conflict, but an opposition to the perpetually increasing targets given to each EPO staff member, ad absurdo. This situation is well known in various business (France-Telecom, etc.), but with respect to the EPO, through its extra-territorial status, there are no rights: no right to work, no criminal law, no civil law, just the extremist will of its president and his confederates, who created their own police forces operating in “special sections” and hired a anglo-US security company for its less palatable tasks. Decisions — whether individual or collective in scope — can only be contested before management, which is de facto both judge and party. Appeals are filed at the International Labour Organisation, which hasn’t been conceived for that and is overwhelmed: no case is anymore likely to be completed in reasonable time. It is thus a lawless structure, a “no-law-land”. The founding fathers evidently did not foresee the case where a president together with a few confederates would overtake it… without oversight. We will note that it went without saying that the attack began with the suppression of the right to strike.
Just one more word of presentation on the European Patent Office (EPO): founded in 1979, this executive organ of the European Patent Organisation is in fact an organ of European cooperation implementing the European Patent Convention (EPO). It is independent of the European Union (EU) and essentially granted up to now national patents in place of national authorities in charge of intellectual property in the 38 member states (e.g. the French INPI) –- to which must be added two states for which an extension is possible -– and not of an “European” patent, which should shortly be implemented. An invention patent is an intellectual property title which confers its holder (usually a corporation) the right to prohibit others to use the invention for a limited time (up to 20 years) and on a given territory (e.g. a country) in exchange of the divulgation to the public of the said invention.
Here is now the address.
Dear EPO colleagues: I am only now able to address you, as I have only gathered in the last few days the strength to write and describe the situation of the Office. Let it be clear that even though I write here as a Frenchman, I am addressing all of you.
Mr. Battistelli is French, of course, but… well, no: he is Corsican. This magnificent little island with a volcanic temperament, where the red cliffs plunge from their tree garnished crests into the deep blue of the Mediterranean, gave to France a man who was in his day execrated by which almost all Europe. Corsica landed under French rule in 1768, just in time for one to believe that Napoleon was a Frenchman — since it is him we are referring to. His uncommon military genius wasn’t French: if one just reflects about this, it will be obvious that France has demonstrated her total incompetence in that area for at least six hundred and fifty years. His project of fusing Europe into a new Carlovingian Empire wasn’t French either. Before him, the destiny of France had been to fight against empires: since at least the battle of Bouvines, she fought for her survival, for her independence, fatally smothered as she was by the Plantagenet Empire allied with the Holy Roman Empire, and then against the Spanish Empire allied with the Habsburg Empire. Let’s remember that she bears the name of the land of free men, the name of the free — at this is undoubtedly the reason why she is as frequently as unconsciously named the “country of liberty”. The Napoleonic way of governing wasn’t any more French: if he inaugurated in France the ascent to power of a soldier through a coup d’état, his authoritarianism was incomparably more severe than that of our kings of divine right; including Louis XIV who did non subdue his people, but its nobility. The French, in their great collective and political wisdom, only gave him victory for the wars which Europe waged on revolutionary France; they withheld them from him for the wars demanded by his ambition, thus sealing his fate, first in the Spanish sierras, and then in the Russian steppe. He ruled as an autocrat, which not even our kings dared to do. He mistreated his ministers and made corrupt puppets out of the members of the assemblies by buying them with money. He governed conquered Europe through the members of his family whom he named king and queen of Naples, Westphalia, Holland and Spain. He made himself king of Italy. His family came to be called the “tribe”: thanks to him, nepotism became a system of government.
He was initiated as a freemason, but refrained from associating his brothers to his dreadful end.
There is a lot more to it, but we await the reminder of the original’s translation. This proceeds to discussion ENA and other aspects of Battistelli’s background.

He revealed that with several other influential people he was planning an interview with Marie in order to request her to leave France: her situation in Paris was impossible. Marie Curie was a truly remarkable woman. In Poland her patriotic family suffered under a Russian regime. He passed his baccalauréat at the early age of 16 and at 21, with his brother Jacques, he had discovered piezoelectricity, which means that a difference in electrical potential is seen when mechanical stresses are applied on certain crystals, including quartz. He was a tutor at the School of Physics and Chemistry in Paris and they shared a great interest in magnetism.
Her work and sacrifice may make your life much easier. Marie Curie is still relevant today because as far as I know X-rays are still used. Marie Curie 7 November 1867 - 4 July 1934 was instrumental in thephysics of radioactivity. The first document to be printed. The war clearly did much to disrupt the work done by Curie but she picked up her research after the end of World War One. They could use a large shed which was not occupied. That year Lord Kelvin wrote to The Times newspaper suggesting that radium was a compound of lead containing five helium atoms, but Rutherford robustly disagreed, saying that radium fulfilled every test required of an element.
In July 1895 they married. After 52 days a permanent grey scar remained. She lived to see their discovery of artificial radioactivity, but not to hear that they had been awarded the Marie Curie died of leukemia on July 4, 1934. In spite of her diffidence and distaste for publicity, Marie agreed to go to America to receive the gift — a single gram of radium — from the hand of President Warren Harding. In the midst of all its gravity, the duel had turned into a farce. Anything bordering on protective clothing was unheard of them unless it involved avoiding chemical splashes on clothes. Marie defied their wishes and went to the ceremony.
It talks of her other accomplishments in the field of science. The thickest walls had suddenly collapsed. Or was it the pressure of tradition? Marie stands up in her own defence and managed to force an apology from the newspaper Le Temps. She had a brilliant aptitude for study and a great thirst for knowledge; however, advanced study was not possible for women in Poland. Since nobody had ever found it before, it could only be present in tiny quantities, and it seemed to be very radioactive.
A scientist in his laboratory is not only a technician: he is also a child placed before natural phenomena which impress him like a fairy tale. Sometimes they could not do their processing outdoors, so the noxious gases had to be let out through the open windows. After further manipulation this radioactive material was found to co-precipitate with bismuth. Researchers should be disinterested and make their findings available to everyone. At this stage they needed more room, and the principal of the school where Pierre worked once again came to their aid. At the center was Marie, a frail woman who with a gigantic wand had ground down tons of pitchblende in order to extract a tiny amount of a magical element.
Neither Pierre nor Marie was at home. Marie Curie was a woman, she was an immigrant and she had to a high degree helped increase the prestige of France in the scientific world. It has over 50 links to other sites about Marie. The Montreal Heart Institution developed this technology with a team of researchers. Becquerel attended the Stockholm ceremony, but neither of the Curies went: Pierre was ill and overwhelmed with teaching duties and Marie was recovering from a miscarriage.
Marie would lead an exciting life receiving 15 gold medal awards, 19 degrees, and many other honors. Pierre gave Marie a lab of her own. If today at the Bibliothèque Nationale you want to consult the three black notebooks in which their work from December 1897 and the three following years is recorded, you have to sign a certificate that you do so at your own risk. Her findings were that only uranium and thorium gave off this radiation. Marie Curie thus became the first woman to be accorded this mark of honour on her own merit. There was not any knowledge of the dangers then.
When she was offered a pension, she refused it: I am 38 and able to support myself, was her answer. The dangerous properties of x-rays were able to kill tumors. People knew about X-rays at the time, but in 1896 Curie's colleague Henri Becquerel discovered that uranium salts emitted their own rays. War When, in 1914, Marie was in the process of beginning to lead one of the departments in the Radium Institute established jointly by the University of Paris and the Pasteur Institute, the First World War broke out. Further work convinced her the very large readings she was getting could not be caused by uranium alone — there was something else in the pitchblende.

Joe Realmuto, Toni Ross, and Mark Smith in Nick and Toni's front room.
What began as a tiny spot in East Hampton in 1988 has become an international destination and a pioneer in the country’s farm-to-table movement. On the occasion of Nick & Toni’s 30th anniversary, let’s see how it all happened!
Toni, take us back to August 3, 1988 — the opening night of Nick & Toni’s.
TONI ROSS: Jeff and I figured that it was the beginning and the end, all in one night. We never announced we were actually opening because it was August, and we thought the fewer customers, the better. The first person in the door was Craig Claiborne, who was the retired New York Times food critic — an extraordinary man. He showed himself to his own table because he used to like that table when it was the previous restaurant. He was so wonderful, and he kept coming back with friends and giving us really helpful critiques — not just about food, but about service and all kinds of things.
Ross: Beet ravioli, quail with cherries and Vin Santo, Caesar salad, the chicken, the penne — all are still on the menu — and the zucchini chips. If we took those off? Major mutiny. We also had calf’s liver and onions. I can’t remember if we had risotto.
MARK SMITH: I think there was a risotto. It seems like there’s always been a risotto.
Ross: We didn’t have tiramisu because I was really bad at making it. It’s just this weird thing. I’m a decent pastry person, but I like really simple things, but somehow tiramisu had eluded me. We had a flourless chocolate cake that was incredibly good, and lots of fruit. And a center table with grappa and biscotti, and Vin Santo, until we realized people would walk by and stick some in their bag.
What was your concept for the restaurant?
Ross: Jeff [Salaway] and I met in Italy. We spent quite a bit of time there, and we discovered a lot of Italian food that wasn’t being served in the United States — things like beet ravioli with poppy-seed sauce or tagliatelle with lemon, olive oil with bread. We wanted to present that, but what it really meant was that we loved Italy, and we wanted to serve food that was meaningful, fresh, and really direct and simple. That has never changed. We’ve morphed away from being strictly Italian, because neither of us is actually Italian. It was more important to have really fresh, clean foods. Jeff was also dedicated to the locavore movement — although it didn’t have a name then — and developing relationships with local farmers and fishermen.
For how long did you make the pastries?
Mark, how did you get involved?
Smith: My family bought a place in Montauk about 40 years ago. I always loved it out here, and through a series of life circumstances, I started my career in the hosiery business. We eventually sold the company. I had always wanted to live out here, I said, “If not now, then when?” I thought I wanted to be a chef, so I went to Peter Kump’s Cooking School, and realized I was probably a little old to jump behind the lines. Having had years of experience in running businesses, I decided I was better suited for front of the house. I started working at a friend’s restaurant in the city, and while I was there, I met somebody who was friendly with Jeff [Salaway], aka Nick from Nick and Toni’s. I got an interview. A typical Jeff-fashion interview was, “Yeah, if you want to get involved in this business, no problem.” So I started here as an assistant manager twentysomething years ago. I told him from the beginning that my goal was to own my own place. We struck up a friendship and a business relationship. Jeff was the consummate host — big ideas, great concepts, and great food. I was used to running a business. He hated running the business. It was a really good partnership. When a space became available, we’d been working together for about six months, Jeff said, “Listen, how do you feel about doing something together?” I was like, “Great!” We did Rowdy Hall, and became partners in everything.
Ross: There’s still a “family feeling“ here about the ways that it’s run. It always felt like a high-end mom-and-pop place, because we were here 24/7. Many of the people who began working for us, like Bonnie [Cashin], Joe [Realmuto], and Mark, have been here almost its whole history.
Jeff Dell, Carol and Lloyd Friedland, Paul and Bonnie Cohen, Bunny Dell, and Chef Joe with friends on New Year’s Eve circa 1993.
Nick & Toni’s is known for its lengthy relationships with East End farmers and fishermen.
Smith: Amber Waves, Braun Seafood, Stewart’s, Gosman’s, Scott Chaskey at Quail Hill Farms…Scott was a big influence and helped us start our own garden. He’s such a generous soul.
Ross: I had met Scott years before at the invitation of Elaine de Kooning, who was mentoring me and my artwork. She was an incredible portraitist. I had the opportunity to be next to her while she was making portraits, and Scott was somebody that she painted quite often. It was like I was in my own private graduate school. Scott was a poet, and he and Megan had been living in Scotland to farm, and then moved back here. They’re pioneering types. The community was obviously based on farming and fishing all the way back, but, through the series of economic changes, people sold their land, stopped farming. Scott was really the one, in my memory, who sort of brought people back to the roots of the community in terms of farming. I think he’s the impetus for everything that’s going on here today.
According to a 2013 New York Times story, Bonnie was slated to retire.
Ross: Her idea of retiring was cutting back! She still works Fridays and Saturdays. The New York Times named Bonnie the most important person in the Hamptons. My mom used to call Bonnie for reservations, not me. She’s not running the show, per se—we have a general manager, Julie [Berger], who started with us when she was 13 years old. We knew Bonnie in the city: She was working for Larry Forgione, and there was a tight-knit group of Jonathan Waxman, Larry, and some others who would get together. When we came out here, she came to us pretty early. A few waiters we worked with in the city also came out.
When did you expand the restaurant?
Ross: About five years after we opened. That actually changed everything. There was something about a real bar, a wood-burning fireplace, and the feeling of the room that created a different environment. We opened the addition by the seat of our pants. I made the light fixtures out of shirt-collar lining and copper tubing. We opened the porch and took away the bocce court. That was a major change. It felt more grown-up.
One of the things I love about the restaurant is that when you walk in, you get a Cheers vibe — even if you’re in from out of town.
Smith: Yes, and your impression is probably pretty universal. A lot of people who come here for the first time have an impression that you have to be a celebrity, but it’s much more of a convivial, casual, unpretentious place.
Ross: Jeff was pretty prescient about wanting to have great food and not all the other stuff that went along with what people imagined [in a fine dining experience]. We’re out at the beach — we wanted the restaurant to feel comfortable and easy. From day one, that’s been part of it. Also, Jeff loved hosting. Mark, and Christie [Cober], and Joe, and Bonnie have really dedicated themselves to continuing to make the restaurant feel that welcoming, and it’s part of their DNA.
What is family meal like?
Smith: It can be anything from hot dogs to tacos to stew. I use it as a way to check out cooks, because it really gives us insight into how they prepare things.
Thoughts on the summer craze?
Ross: It’s bizarre, but the busier we are, the more on top of everything we are. In the summer, [customers] get the best service, food, the best everything.
Which tables are the most coveted?
Ross: I don’t think we should say!
Smith: If you like to look at others and be seen by them, you’re probably in the front room. If you’d like to enjoy the company of your friends, your favorite tables would be in the back. There’s definitely a little bit more buzz outside. When people write about us, they do write about the front room.
Ross: But it’s partly because Steven [Spielberg] had always loved that one seat, so that became kind of a thing, but then he moved inside, so then that became a thing.
Chevy Chase and Joe Realmuto with his son Jonathan and daughter Nicole at the Nick and Toni’s 15 year anniversary.
Smith: Remember when someone stole our stone dogs in the middle of service over Memorial Day weekend?
Ross: Those were the first pieces Jeff and I had collected together, which is why we made them a part of our logo.
Smith: They weighed 150 pounds each — maybe 200! They turned up in New York City, so we got them back.
Ross: Ina Garten and I used to trade crazy customer stories — Ina almost always won — and it was kind of fun. Were you here the night Chevy [Chase] decided he was going to answer the phones and seat people?
Smith: I might’ve been. Didn’t Barbara Streisand come, we were closed, and Joe still cooked for her?
Ross: Remember the guy shaving at the table with an electric razor?
Smith: Guess he felt he needed to shave.
Where do you ultimately want to take the business?
Ross: “And if the restaurant continues, how is it going to happen without Jeff?” I definitely was MIA for a while.
Smith: We’re going to continue to grow our business in some form. We started a catering company a few years ago, which is doing well, and we’ve talked about branding our products.
Ross: Part of our success has been the ability to move with the times. Sometimes, we anticipate the times. You can’t stay where you were, but that being said, you also don’t want to lose what you are.
Smith: In today’s environment, if you’re not moving forward, you’re moving backward. Just the microcosm of the Hamptons as a restaurant scene has changed drastically in 30 years. For the better, because there are a lot more good places to eat. I always enjoy the competition. It makes us all better.

Loss is a component of our life, but it can elicit complex and difficult emotions. Losses come in many types and different magnitudes; they can range from something relatively minor (such as the losing a cherished item) to major events (like losing a loved one). A significant loss is synonymous with a reduction of resources in the life of the person, as in losing someone or something. The role of attachment is inherent in the experience of loss. The most dramatic losses of our lives are connected to attachment figures.
The experience of loss has a subjective as well as an objective dimension. They are not necessarily correlated, because a person can have the subjective experience of a major loss, while others may perceive it differently. However, in the case of the most dramatic losses, such as death, divorce, a terminal illness, or the loss of home or employment, the subjective and objective evaluations are highly correlated. Whatever the correlation between the objective and subjective experiences, losses are inherently traumatizing.
People try to live their lives out as a meaningful system – ever searching for a reason as to why things happen. The search for meaning is ambivalent here, because it depends on the characteristics of the individual and the specifications of the situation. The psychology and therapy of loss necessarily focus on the subjective experience of the individual. The experience of loss is, in most cases, associated with grief and mourning. Grieving has five distinct stages: Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and finally acceptance. The first four stages of grief do not represent the acceptance of the loss. Only the last stage of the grieving process is associated with coming to terms with it. As the process can be very lengthy and not everyone is able to reach the final stage, acceptance, the help of professionals can be very useful.
Feel you are having a chain of losses?
Individuals suffering from a loss often feel that their losses happen in multiples, and the events of losses follow each other as a chain. Losing something can have the effect of bereavement – one that refuses to heal over time or takes a very long time to heal. However, the reactions to multiple losses are mediated by the belief in justice and the deserved nature of losses.
The experience of loss, coping, and adaptation after the experience depends on the capacities of the individual, the ability to live in an altered environment, or the individual style of coping, such as intellectual or emotion-focused. Individual coping has strong associations with the appraisal of stressors. A loss and, in this sense, a stressor has a more profound effect on our lives if it concerns the most important areas of our lives, if it affects more than one area, or if it is prolonged. There are similarities in the process of grief and the way individuals evaluate their losses and cope with them, but we cannot forget that every loss is an individual story.
Emotion focused therapy has a basic assumption that you have to arrive at a place before you leave it. The experiences of loss are often connected to maladaptive emotional memories of past childhood losses. Activating old memories and reconsolidating them by assimilating new memories are an important part of the therapeutic process. Loss can trigger implicit schemes of emotions about inadequacy, blame or insecurity. Individuals experiencing loss have a self that is organized by vulnerability. When they lose, their resilience is lost and so is their ability to rely on their strengths and mastery. With emotion focused therapy, the feelings of sadness and the sense of deprivation can be processed adequately and this can represent the core of the treatment. Feelings can be extremely strong, but they are natural concomitants of the experience of loss. Emotion focused therapy offers empowerment to the suffering individual with access to his or her adaptive emotions. Reconnection with the self and the environment, as well as soothing the pain associated with the event are also vital parts of the therapeutic process. Emotion focused therapy aims to help clients develop their emotional experiences with the access to primary adaptive emotional responses in such situations. The normal interruptions during the therapy process mirror the losses of attachment bonds from the childhood. Therefore, they are able to explain the internal methods and templates the clients use to construct their own relationships.
Clients can do a great deal for themselves during the time of dealing with the effects of loss. They should care about their health, seek out social support (apart from professional help), actively express their emotions, and realize that pain is an inherent part of the process of losing someone or something dear.

Thousands of times a year, people are injured while on someone else’s property or in someone’s place of business. Common injuries stem from slip and fall accidents, falling down stairs, slipping on a patch of ice, by a defect on the property that should have been repaired and wasn’t, or through the criminal act of a third party performed intentionally. Premises liability is an area of the law that deals with the duty that a homeowner, business owner, or property owner has to protect others who may be injured on their property due to dangers that should have been tended to, but instead resulted in injury. The law states that property owners have a legal duty to ensure that their premises are kept safe for people who enter onto the property. If you or someone you know has been injured while on someone else’s property, you may have the right to seek legal recourse.
These four points must be proven in order for a property owner to be found negligent. Although this may seem simple, cases are not always as clear cut as they might first appear. For this reason, it is important to seek legal advice if you have been injured while on a property belonging to someone else.
The Law Offices of Robert A. Brenner have extensive experience in winning premises liability cases, and they have won millions of dollars in settlements for clients throughout the United States. If you or someone you care about has been injured while on someone else’s property or in someone’s place of business, contact us to learn more about your legal rights and options.

Great script Rainer – please let me add my thanks to you for creating it. It works great for me with one exception. I cannot get the shortcut (Ctrl O) to work with the latest version. Anybody else having this issue?
I download, pasted the latest script (take 8) and put it in the right place/folder. From Outlook, I can go as far as getting the pop-up omnifocus box (with subject and all) but when I click save, it doesn’t do anything, and when i check OF it doesnt get into the inbox either….cud u pls help me? Shud I configure something on my OF?
Simply renaming the file to remove the -1 fixed the problem for me.
Rainer, thanks again for putting this out there.
Paul, many thanks for your reply! That did the trick. I appreciate you sending that tip along.
Rainer, thanks for the script!
There is a problem with cyrillic letters – they get all messed up in omnifocus. They look like the code of a binary file viewed through edit.com back in good ol’DOS times.
I am new to apple and I tried to figure out where in your script the recoding happens, but this can take a while.
Rainer, I found the solution!!
@andrew thats awesome. Will post an updated version in the next few days. Thanks a lot for figuring this out and helping all users!
After upgrading Office 2011 with the latest update (14.2.0), I had to reinstall v11 of the script.

As the political field becomes a crowded one, I intend to look at each candidate from the perspective of how each one will benefit or harm public education because public education is the foundation of our democracy. I have determined that Cory Booker would be a disaster for public education because he doesn’t understand what constitutes a good education and because he puts his efforts into endeavors that may have political advantage for him but do not serve children well and do not help us to strengthen as a nation.
Diane Ravitch posted an analysis of Candidate Cory Booker, and I print it below. If you want to know more about Cory Booker and public education, I suggest you read The Prize: Who’s In Charge of America’s Schools by Dale Russakoff. It explains in detail Cory Booker’s involvement as mayor of Newark in the failed initiative of Mark Zuckerberg with his millions to improve public education in that city.
Mitchell Robinson of Michigan State University explains why he could not support for Cory Booker for the Democratic nomination in 2020.
I really don’t want to be a single-issue voter, but education will almost always be the most important issue for me–and Booker is catastrophically wrong and bad on education. His corporate leanings and pro-pharma stance are just the gravy for me on Booker.
So, if you like for-profit charters, then Cory Booker is your guy.
If you want to privatize public education, then Cory Booker is your guy.
If you think that state tax dollars should go toward vouchers to pay for private and religious school tuition, then Cory Booker is your guy.
If you think that Betsy DeVos’ education policies are making schools work better for kids, families, and communities, then Cory Booker is your guy.
And if you think that scapegoating the “failing public schools” takes the heat off your candidate’s support of a corrupt Wall St., or the crushing costs of prescription drugs, or our nightmare of a health care system, then Cory Booker is your guy.
But if you think it’s about time for the Democratic Party to return to their historic support of public education, and teachers unions, and abandon their somewhat recent neo-liberal dalliance with charter schools, and school privatization, and the corporate reform of education agenda, then look for a candidate who isn’t a charter member of “Democrats for Education Reform” (spoiler alert: they aren’t Democrats, and they aren’t *for* education), and who doesn’t have more ties to Betsy DeVos than her yachts have non-US flags, and who was willing to work with Chris Christie to sell-out Newark’s schools to Mark Zuckerberg.
None of this this is new.
The article below appeared in Education Week in 2013. Nothing has changed. Cory Booker is still a supporter of charters and vouchers, no different from Betsy DeVos except she’s a billionaire and he raises money from Wall Street billionaires.
New Jersey voters this month picked Newark Mayor Cory Booker, a Democrat, to fill the U.S. Senate seat formerly held by Sen. Frank Lautenberg, also a Democrat, who died in June. Mr. Booker already has a national profile on education issues.
1. ‘Democrat for Education Reform’: Mr. Booker was a galvanizing force in the past decade bringing together a cadre of high-powered, deep-pocketed Wall Street donors with an interest in education policy, to support his early races for city council and mayor. The group eventually became Democrats for Education Reform, now the signature political action committee for politicians who are fans of less-than-traditional Democratic policies, including charter schools and teacher performance pay. The group’s founders “knew each other before, but they got involved in politics together to support Cory Booker,” said Joe Williams, the executive director of dfer. The pac poured some quarter-million dollars into Mr. Booker’s Senate campaign, Mr. Williams estimated.
2. Voucher Supporter: Mr. Booker is among a handful of prominent Democrats nationally to support private school vouchers, and championed a proposed New Jersey law that would have created a voucher program in that state. He co-founded Excellent Education for Everyone, a nonprofit organization that sought to promote vouchers and charter schools in New Jersey. The push won backing from other well-known New Jersey Democrats but was ultimately unsuccessful.

"Most tropical fruits cannot be treated by conventional methods and irradiation affords a new treatment for these fruits and an opportunity for many countries, particularly developing countries, to expand their export markets," said Dr. Ralph Ross, former Deputy Assistant Administrator for the U.S. Agricultural Research Service and Deputy Director of Science and Technology in USDA-APHIS-PPQ. "Irradiation is an alternative to methyl bromide, the universal chemical fumigant now under international regulatory scrutiny. The new Quadura irradiator represents the most advanced system available for these purposes."
"Export markets are critical to the long-term growth of the fruit industry in the Philippines," said Dr. Hernani Golez, Director of the Bureau of Plant Industry for the Philippine government. "We need to take advantage of the newest technology in order to provide a high quality product that meets stringent import regulations in these markets, and do it in a cost-effective manner to maintain competitiveness."
The Quadura systems' design features four stations that can independently process pallets of food. This allows growers and processors to administer multiple pallet-specific treatment doses simultaneously to fruit, vegetables, meat and poultry to eliminate quarantine pests and pathogens while guaranteeing product quality and maintaining continuous processing operations. Fully automated, the Quadura's full pallet processing will maximize operational flexibility, reduce downtime and achieve operational efficiency.
"Quadura's patented technology enables growers to irradiate a variety of produce already packaged on pallets, the standard packaging and transportation system for fruit," says John Corley, Senior Vice President, Ion Technologies at MDS Nordion. "Seamless integration of the Quadura system into the packaging and transportation process will reduce product handling, which can damage fruit, and decreases costs associated with current disinfestation techniques."
At the same time, with rising concerns about the safety of the food supply, the Quadura system answers the demand for additional food-safety assurance by eliminating food-borne pathogens such as E. coli and Listeria in meat, poultry and other foods.
As business grows, the Quadura system is scalable and can be configured for a wide range of processing scenarios without compromising performance. This flexibility makes the system cost-effective for a variety of businesses, from exotic fruit and vegetable exporters that would process from 200 to 300 million pounds of product annually, to small or midsize meat processors who would typically process less than 50 million pounds each year. It is based on the same leading edge irradiation technology that MDS Nordion has used to design and build more than 120 irradiators in over 45 countries around the world.
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization has endorsed irradiation as an effective means of preventing food-borne illness and reducing post-harvest losses caused by spoilage, infestation and contamination. These losses affect an estimated 25% of all food produced worldwide. An October 2002 ruling by the U.S. Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) allows irradiated fruits and vegetables to be imported into the United States. Extensively studied for more than 40 years, food irradiation is endorsed by the World Health Organization, the American Medical Association and the American Dietetic Association as safe and effective.

We live in a world of content overload, and interactive content is one way marketers try to stand out. However, not all interactive content is created equal; and do-it-yourself tools have lowered the barriers to producing interactive content. Unfortunately, easy to produce does not always mean quality.
In the past two years, the number of interactive posts has increased by 33 percent, but the average number of shares has fallen by 62 percent.
In this post, we’ll look at examples of engaging interactive content, particularly posts that have gotten far more than the average number of shares.
As we looked at these interactive examples, several takeaways emerged. They can be applied to interactive or other types of content. If you want to go straight to the applications, they are at the end of the post, with instructions for how to find interactive content in your own industry using BuzzSumo.
Quizzes have long been a favourite engagement tool, particularly on Facebook.
The most shared quiz published during the last 5 years has gotten a total of 5.4 million social interactions, almost all of them from Facebook.
Of all the interactive content types, quizzes are the most ubiquitous. They can vary from a simple outcome based quiz (in essence a diagnostic that predicts your management style, the decade you were born, or your Hogwarts House) through to quizzes that are effectively assessments.
Quizzes are quick to produce; they help people feel good about themselves; and they are very shareable.
Publishers will often call a quiz the most difficult ever, then make it easy to “pass” or succeed. This plays to our vanity. Who doesn’t want to share a high score on the world’s most difficult grammar test?
How many can you score 100% on (see what we did there)?
This quiz from Pew Research tackles one of the year’s hot issues, fake news, by asking people to see how good they are at distinguishing between statements that are based in fact and statements that are based in opinion. It only came online in June 2018 and, at the time of writing, already has 67.6K shares.
This is a great example of linking a trending topic to an organization’s mission, and it ties into people’s desire to be a part of hot-button issues.
The link to a longer research piece makes this quiz a good example of how to boost the distribution of content.
Use interactives to boost other content.
This quiz from the Barcelona Football Club is also linked to a news event — a Champions league game. It has 63.1K social interactions. One feature that we found motivating about this quiz was the instant feedback about responses. Not only could we rate overall knowledge of the team’s history with Portugal, but we can benchmark immediately against other quiz takers.
This quiz appeals to people’s affiliations with their interest groups. We saw this tribal factor as an engagement driver in Facebook video shares as well.
This quiz from Lark was tied to an offer of a Fitbit and scale. Online since May 2018, the quiz has a total of 52.8k interactions.
Many quizzes only allow you to see the questions one at a time, or only after you’ve answered them.
The Lark design is attractive because it allows people a quick scroll before jumping in.
There was very little info on the page about the offer itself, but it did include a stack of Facebook comments, offering social proof that the quiz and offer were legit.
NPR’s version of the How-Educated-Are-You-Quiz was very popular this year, gaining 52.1k interactions. The format offers a downloadable checklist which makes this quiz a bit more meaty than others in the “how smart are you?” category.
No discussion of engaging quizzes would be complete without a grammar or IQ selection!
The three most shared interactive posts for the past 12 months all claimed to be IQ tests.
As described above, we seem to have a high need to test our intelligence and share our stellar results with our friends.
The women.com domain dominated the list of most shared interactive content, and its posts were the most engaging for the year.
Use BuzzSumo’s Content analysis reports to see the top domains across networks for any topic.
The site itself leans on quizzes. A total of 2762 articles were published last year, 1402 of which were quizzes. Their strategy was unlike many of the quizzes that we looked at on other sites. Most were part of a larger piece of content or standalone pieces that linked to other articles and served as a vehicle to draw attention to the other post.
The quizzes at women.com are different — they are a main content category, emphasized with a spot on the top navigation menu.
Women.com also offers the option to subscribe for new quizzes. Their stated goal is to give people a way to relax and enjoy the fun of a quiz.
There were no content links associated with the quizzes we saw–so they don’t seem to be designed to promote other content, but the site itself, and each quiz, has ads displayed alongside the quiz.
If shareability is the goal, remember, that people are more likely to share things that make them look good.
Beyond quizzes, practical and useful content always does well. Practical tools such as calculators have been neglected by many marketers. They take more time to develop but can drive high levels of engagement, shares and importantly links, with lasting value.
In the marketing space Hubspot’s Site Grader tool is one of the most well known. Another staff favorite this year is the “time-saved” calculator at coschedule.com. It claims to show the time that a team would save by using the Coschedule suite of tools.
This post from the NY Times came on line in Dec. 17, 2017. It’s been shared 106.1k times and has 369 backlinks.
It seems that calculators, while less socially viral, may be better drivers of backlinks. The average number of backlinks for a quiz in the last year was 3.2; the average for a calculator was 6.4.
The calculator’s publication corresponded with a great deal of interest in the US about taxes. Notice the peak in Google Searches for the term “tax.” It peaks the week of Dec. 17.
Leverage a trending topic, while delivering high value content. Remember, if it’s trending people want to feel connected to it.
This handy data calculator has instant appeal–it shows how much data you are likely to use based on your online activies. Published by mtnonline.com, a Nigerian telecom company in August, 2017, the calculator has been shared 65.3k times.
The share volume seems to indicate that interactions with the tool have come from across the web, not just Nigeria. This aspect of content is intriguing–businesses with a tight geographic focus can get attention from far away with content that’s helpful and interesting. And, often, their competition for attention will include sites from around the globe.
Who said Civil Engineering can’t be cool? And, who still believes that Facebook is just a network for B2C content with high bling value?
This post, published by the Constructor, a site developed by a civil engineer, to give civil engineering an online info sharing hub, has gotten 20.4k shares since it came online in Nov. 2017.
BuzzSumo’s database of more than 5 billion URL’s shows that Facebook interactions lead the way, often –even for traditionally B2B topics.
Facebook, and shareability are for every marketer.
Last year’s list included a calorie calculator. This engaging calculator, about the size of the horse people of different weights can comfortably ride, is a new take on body mass!
Another addresses the weight a particular breed can carry. This is a clever use of similar information to answer different questions…once the range of weight bearing is established for a breed, it can be easily reframed to create the which breed is right for my weight calculator.
This calculator from quartz.com also got a significant number of links, 14, and 16.3k shares. It takes a common topic – gender inequality – and attempts to quantify the problem monetarily.
This interactive tool is published by the Earth Day Network. After calculating plastic usage, the audience was invited to make a pledge. The calculator has 7.1k interactions so far.
What appeals to me here is that the calculator seems designed to generate emotion; I picture it causing people to gloat over their successful reduction in plastic use, or to feel guilt over their failures.
The CTA — pledge money, or sign up for help — seems very relevant to each type of emotional response.
Finally, this calculator is designed to determine the amount of money needed to fulfil a religious obligation and has acquired almost 9000 social engagements.
I was drawn to this example because of its high-tech approach to an age-old question. The takeaway for marketers?
It’s never to late to provide information in an easier to use, more accessible way.
Importantly, calculators take broad swaths of information and make them personal, based on a variable. So, a question like “What is the average lifespan for people” would not create a good calculator. A better approach would be a calculator that determines lifespan based on criteria like gender, current, age, or place of residence. The best approach would allow for multiple variables and create a very specific result.
For example, in the “Will my tax rate go up or down?” example, there are several audience-known variables — including income. The author provided variable is the new tax rate by income level. The result of the calculation is the tax amount for the audience supplied variable.
In the “What breed of horse can carry me?” example, the audience-known variable is weight. The author provided variable is the weight certain horses can bear. The result of the calculation is a list of horses appropriate for each individual’s weight.
To apply this to your own topics, consider what questions your audience may have that can be segmented based on variables. Ask yourself what information would be needed to provide a specific, useful answer.
If you know about a great interactive, and you can help your audience find it, you can get great results!
For example, in the top 5 most shared interactives, 4 of them are descriptions of interactives available at other sites.
The power of interactives extends to curation.
1. The Damage of Anti-Vaccination Movement – IFL Science!
Images above are from BuzzSumo’s Chrome Extension.
People shared the IFL Science post because they were interested in the interactive and didn’t read deeply enough to realize it wasn’t there.
People shared the IFL Science post because of some factor other than the interactive.
2. 170 Million Americans Are Drinking Radioactive Water. This Interactive Map Shows If You Are Too. – IFL Science!
There are several examples of success with curating interactive content from IFL Science, including the radioactive water map.
See the list of IFL’s most shared interactives.
The key to these posts’ success seems to align with best practices for curation: Make sure you add something of value as you call your audience’s attention to other content.
This piece, which came online Dec. 6, 2017, and includes fire tracking through Dec. 21, illustrates the power of linking high production value and a trending topic. The post has 32.8k engagements.
This beautiful map combines amazing interactive visualization with storytelling. As you scroll through the page, the story unfolds one paragraph at a time.
This “Giant” piece from pbs.org includes an entire package of information, including a timeline, spreadsheet, explanation, and image.
Published in June 2018, this piece already has 31.9k engagements and 42 backlinks.
Part of it’s appeal may lie in providing information in multiple formats. The clickable spreadsheet is great for people who like to use spreadsheets, the infographic-like timeline appeals to those who don’t want to click.
Make the message available to people in different formats.
Lost the narrative thread of the Marvel Universe? It happens. CNN Entertainment steps up with an excellent interactive guide to all of the Marvel movies. With 51 backlinks since April 2018, we image this piece rescuing many movie goers from every universe for years to come.
If women.com owns the quiz space, then visualcapitalist.com owns the illustration of investment data.
The animation above, described as a sponsored infographic,has 1.4k social engagements, but many of visualcapitalist’s still maps and infographics have engagements in the tens of thousands.
When describing how to build a calculator, I mentioned the importance of providing the “Author Known Variable.” The success of this VR film provides the same thing–it gives an audience access to a closed experience. The piece, published on Wired, has 1.7k engagements.
This idea of letting an audience in on a process that is otherwise closed to them is a powerful one for content marketers. Is there something that you could show your audience that very few others can? Is your audience interested in seeing it? If so a video experience of some sort may be a good, high production value content piece for you.
If you want to learn more here are twenty ways you can use interactive video.
Make content relevant by tying it to current events.
Offer value to YOUR audience.
Save your audience time and effort–do the work for them.
Make curation part of your strategy.
For maximum shares, help people look good.
If you want something to stand out, give it a spot on your nav bar.
Use interactive content to help distribute research or other posts.
If you are in a B2B context, don’t discount Facebook’s value.
Provide old information in a new way.
Package content to appeal to people in more than one way.
Interactive content can be a great way to make your content stand out from the crowd and to gain both shares and links. But, remember the world doesn’t need another pretty clickable infographic or a simple quiz.
Be creative. Make the content practical, awe-inspiring, and beautiful or alternatively make your interactive content really practical like some of the calculators. Hopefully these examples will have helped inspire you.
So what works in your industry or sector? Use BuzzSumo to search for your topic and add terms such as interactive, quiz, calculator, etc. to see what is working in your industry.
Data pulled from BuzzSumo on July 25-30 for, comparing content that came online in July 1, 2016- June 30, 2017 with July 1, 2017 – June 30, 2018.
The engagement calculations for each year are cumulative, so the 2016-2017 posts have had longer to accumulate shares, but the difference in the two is figures is significant enough that I think it’s safe to conclude that there is a trend toward falling engagement.
Oh Steve, this is one massive procrastination article 😛 Which obviously means that yes, interactive content you list works 😀 Sure, there will be haters saying “quizzes are lame” but they are fun for your readers and, if you set them up that way, can bring in more after the users share their results on social media.
We haven’t tried interactive content on our blog just yet (although there are plans!), but we do enjoy it on other sites!

ConsoleApiClient project is a simple console application for performing API requests to the application authenticated via IdentityServer4.
Tests project contains unit and integration tests.
Back End API (Web.Host): An application to only serve the main application as REST API and does not provide any UI.
Public Web Site (Web.Public): This can be used to create a public web site or a landing page for your application.
Migration Executer (Migrator): Console application that runs database migrations.
It's used to calculate some URLs in the application. So, you need to change this on production.
Multi-tenancy is used to build SaaS (Software as a Service) applications easily. With this technique, we can deploy single application to serve to multiple customers. Each Tenant will have it's own roles, users, settings and other data.
ASP.NET Zero's code-base is developed to be multi-tenant. But, it can be disabled with a single line of configuration if you are developing a single-tenant application. When you disable it, all multi-tenancy stuff will be hidden. If multi-tenancy is disabled, there will be a single tenant named Default.
Host: Manages tenants and the system.
Tenant: Uses the actual application features and pays for it.
You should configure DNS to redirect all subdomains to a static IP address. To declare 'all subdomains', you can use a wildcard e.g. *.mydomain.com.
You should configure IIS to bind this static IP to your application.
Check out the multi tenant documentation if you are building multi-tenant applications.
Similar to WebSiteRootAddress, ServerRootAddress setting is also exists in appsettings.json in .Web.Host project.
In addition, .Web.Host application contains ClientRootAddress which is used if this API is used by the Angular UI. If you are not using Angular UI, you can ignore it.
CorsOrigins setting is used to allow some domains for cross origin requests. This is also useful when you are hosting your Angular UI in a separated server/domain.

While life comes with challenges far greater than comfortably holding a beer bottle (or can), you don’t have to settle for a cold hand or fumbling with slippery glass if you don’t want to. Go Pong Bottle Grips add a plastic handle so you can pick up your drink like a mug.
These things aren’t complicated. You slide a beer bottle through the top and clip the grip onto both ends. You don’t have to do much else other than enjoy your brew. You can reuse them and they only cost $ 3.50 a piece, so if you ever wish your beer had a handle it now can.
