Marc Smith – Social media, sensors and spa

Social media has become a major force, as people search for services or discuss choices online with friends. Building a social media presence is now as important as traditional marketing, so if you don’t already have them, create your Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Foursquare, and flickr accounts today, if only to listen to what your customers, or competitor’s customers, are saying about you.

Once you’ve done this, more active engagement involves linking, blogging and replying to the people who are talking about you. This can be demanding and new staff may be needed. You should join these conversations because they’ll take place whether you contribute or not.
While there are costs in terms of time and expertise, there are also rewards, as you can access customer opinions more cheaply than through focus groups and with higher participation rates than surveys. You can also engage with influential advocates and enthusiasts.

Identifying key contributors in relevant conversations is the primary task of a social media strategy. Building a relationship with these central figures gives you greater reach and builds brand champions – the independent voices that can make (or break) your brand.

The science which enables us to understand the way all this works – Social Network Analysis (SNA) – is an arcane area of research that has traditionally required advanced maths and computing skills. That’s changing though, as new software makes analysing and visualising networks as easy as making a pie chart.

I work with the Social Media Research Foundation, a group dedicated to building open tools, data, and scholarship related to social media. The primary project from the Foundation is the ‘network overview, discovery and exploration add-in for Excel’ – the NodeXL Project for short – a free and open extension to the familiar spreadsheet.

Using NodeXL it’s easy to collect the network of people who have been talking about you online. If you need to learn about a topic quickly, you can identify key people and discussion areas and while search engines can only deliver lists of results, Social Network Analysis can answer questions like “are there sub-groups of people talking about me and what are their interests?”
Not everyone who tweets about your brand is equally connected to other people: some voices are louder than others. In a few clicks it’s possible to build a map of a community and see who’s talking about a topic and who’s at the center of the discussion.

Networks come in many shapes and sizes and network theory is a collection of measurements that capture their dimensions. The ‘vertex’ count shows how many people are in the network. The ‘edge’ count indicates how many connections there are among them and the ‘degree’ count shows who has the most connections.

Some networks are shaped like a sphere, some are fragmented like thousands of shards and others are shaped like an hourglass, with relatively separate clusters. Some people act as the bridge, connecting two otherwise separate clusters. These ‘between’ people can be brokers or gatekeepers. Sometimes people are firmly at the center of their core, but have limited connections to other clusters. Each plays an important function in the social media environment, and effective strategies need to focus on the cultivation of the right balance between different roles and engagement with people in critical locations on the graph.

A few minutes in NodeXL will allow you to identify a network of relevance to your business, identify the key contributors, and collect the topics being discussed.

_Mobile sensors_
More than three billion people carry mobile phones, that are rich with sensors for location (GPS), motion (accelerometer), light (video), and sound (microphone), meaning new forms of data from these devices and the sensors within them can now be added to the mix.

Phones also have devices that pick up radio tags like RFID and can measure heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, and even do glucose readings for diabetics. Health conscious, fitness-focused people are using these devices to track their workouts, with services like CureTogether, PatientsLikeMe, and products like FitBit being examples of this trend. Travellers are using cameras to snap pictures with geotags that link the picture to the location it was taken, while people with chronic illnesses can monitor and measure their vital signs and record dosages and responses.

Far from the secure world of private health information, social media has opened the door to millions of people broadcasting their vital signs to the world. How will spas respond when customers come to reception with terrabytes of their own health and activity data expecting customised service in return?

ADJACENT VILLAGES ON THE GLOUCESTERSHIRE SIDE OF BRISTOL

Mathews’ Bristol Street Directory 1871

Downend

There were a few larger houses in the area. Cleeve Dale was demolished n the late 60s. Cleeve Hill House was owned by the Players, Bragges and Caves, and it was the Cave Family who bought up much of the land within the Parish Council area. The house was demolished in the 1930s, after the sale of the Estate in the 1920s, which saw the beginning of house building on a large scale in the area. Cleeve Lodge was converted into a Residential Home some years ago.

On Bromley Heath there was a Quaker Burial Ground dating from 1657, with the last Burial taking place in the late 1800s; it is now being used as a garden. Christchurch, Downend was built in 1831 as a Chapel of Ease to St James Church, Mangotsfield, in whose Parish Downend resided until Christchurch became a Parish Church in 1874, with a Chancel being added to the church in 1914. In the Church yard, many of Downend’s notables are buried such as members of the Grace family. There has been a Baptist Church here since 1786, originally an off shoot from the early Broadmead Baptist Church in Bristol. The Methodists had a place of Worship in Downend, prior to moving to North Street, and later to Staple Hill.

The Cave Family ran a small school near the Green Dragon Public House, but this was closed with the erection in 1841 of Downend National School, later to become Christchurch School. Other schools like Bromley Heath School were opened to meet the needs of post-war developments.

The whole area would have been in the boundary of Kingswood Forest, the Royal Hunting Forest under the jurisdiction of the Constable of Bristol Castle, all standing within the area known as Barton Regis. The Forest gradually succumbed to squatters and coal mines, but the Downend and Bromley Heath area remained mainly agricultural with some stone quarries, not coal mines.

A number of small farms worked the area mainly grazing livestock, with a small amount of arable land. Only three of these farm houses remain, Baugh Farm, Cleeve Hill Farm and Bromley Farm.

Frenchay

During the 18th Century most of the attractive large houses around Frenchay Common, were built by rich merchants and businessmen. Many were Quakers attracted by the existing community. This migration from the increasingly polluted city was facilitated by road improvements through nearby Stapleton to Hambrook with its Turnpiking in 1727.

The 19th Century saw changes to the Common with the building of the Parish Church in 1834 and use of the Common for cricket and games. Frenchay became popular as a beauty spot for visitors with local people providing tea gardens and boating on the river. Some of the large houses such as Cleevewood House provided attractions such as a ‘lover’s walk’ through the woods.

The stone quarries along the river were also an important factor in the development of Frenchay. The distinctive reddish pennant stone provided local building materials both within Frenchay and later, with transport improvements, was used elsewhere.

A number of grand houses such as Newlands, Cliff Court and Malmains were demolished to make way for modern housing estates.

The Frenchay Village museum reflects the history of a unique village that was for centuries a centre for Quakers. It is run entirely by volunteers and receives support from South Gloucestershire Council and advice from Bristol City Museum.

The Tuckett Family of Frenchay

Philip Debell Tuckett purchased this house in 1800 and on his death his widow, with her five sons, removed to the house now called Frenchay House. Philip Debell Tuckett, jun., her eldest son, on his marriage, purchased Grove House, which had been previously occupied by Joseph Storrs Fry, who died in 1835. Philip Tuckett died in 1872 and his widow continued to live in the house until her death in 1892.

Francis, second son of Mrs. Tuckett, lived, after his marriage, in the house now called the Old House; on his death in 1868 he was succeeded by his son Francis Fox Tuckett, who died in 1913. James Taylor purchased the house which is now the rectory in 1800. Rachell Cotterell had a boarding school for Quaker girls in the early part of the 18th century at Frenchay (it is uncertain in which house). She married c. 1739 Anthony Purver, son of a Hampshire farmer, who had become a Quaker, who assisted her in the school. He had come to Hambrook, as tutor in a Quaker family.

He was a great scholar, and translated the Old Testament from the original, with annotations. This work, known as "The Quaker Bible," was published in 1764 at the expense of Dr. Fothergill.

In 1827 Miss Player was holding a school in the Manor Cottage, which was then owned by the Tuckett family. The late Mr. F. F. Tuckett left a plan of the graveyard made many years ago, in which ninety-five graves are shown. The names of members of the following families appear:- Fox, Fry, Gayner (in five generations), Player, Taylor and Tuckett.

Hambrook

At the time of the Domesday Book, Hambrook was a separate manor but later joined with the manor of Winterbourne. Wood was the principal industry of the area and the village had its own wool factory. At the beginning of this century there was also an old mill used for corn grinding, but its ruins disappeared when the motorway was constructed.

Within the village there are a number of listed buildings, including Hambrook Grove, an 18th century house now a hotel. Hambrook House (grade II-listed) is of 17th century origin and was refaced in 1784. To the rear of this property is an icehouse (grade II-listed). This is a domed stone structure sunk into the ground and surmounted by the top 6 metres of the spire of Winterbourne Church which was damaged by lightning in 1871. This structure has recently been restored.

The 18th century Hambrook Court was once tenanted by Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas Brereton who commanded the troops during the Bristol Riots of 1831 and who unfortunately committed suicide because of the general condemnation over his lack of strong action against the rioters.

A natural centre to the village is formed by the junction of Bristol Road and the B4427. The buildings around it form an important group and contribute to the overall character of the area. The short terrace of cottages and the detached house of Evan Coyd create a visual enclosure at the junction as well as providing architectural variety to the street scene.

Hambrook Court and Hambrook Grove are also strong and important features, with their impressive boundary walls and wooded grounds which make a significant contribution to the landscape.

To the south of Hambrook, Hambrook House and The Grange (grade II-listed) provide visual interest, grand in style and size. Their high stone walls and mature trees add to the street scene creating the effect of an imposing avenue leading up to the junction on the brow of the hill.

To the west of the village along the stream, varied and interesting houses are further enhanced by a reen flowing alongside the road. Picturesque white railings bordering the stream complete the tranquil setting.

At the end of the road the 17th century Faber Farm (grade II*-listed) and Hambrook Farm (grade II-listed) are prominent, their imposing size and gabled features adding variety and grandeur to the streetscape.

The White Horse public house was built around the 1700’s and is located at the bottom of Hambrook Hill. The old malt house is situated next to the structure. The public house was a regular stop for many people travelling through the area heading towards either London or Gloucester, as it was built upon the ‘Old Gloucester Road’. Through time, it has seen many changes to the area, and now stands in the shadows of the M4 motorway.

Paranormal Activity Eyewitness Reports With most buildings that have been standing for many years, there is always a high amount of unexplained instances, and this is no different with the White Horse. Many people have reported bottles and glasses falling from the shelves.

One of the most strangest reports, was when the landlord came down one morning and found that all the tables had been cleaned, polish and all neatly laid out (I am sure that he would have loved this to continue!!). There was a report of the bar gas being turned off without anyone entering the cellar, and staff have reported hearing strange noises coming from the kitchen and bar area.

Mirehouse Mrs. Hambrook Grove The Hambrook Grove is a listed building that has been standing since the 18th Century. It is located at the top of Hambrook hill and very close to The White Horse public house. The building is located in a rural area on the northern fringes of Bristol. It is set alongside the Ham Brook just to the west of the River Frome and is surrounded by the M4 and M32 Motorways and the Avon Ring Road. Hambrook, Originally a Domsday settlement, today comprises a mix of small cottages, farmsteads and larger houses mostly dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. The Hambrook Grove is currently being used as a hotel and is a lovely place to stay.

Built in 1990, this is the only true steel coaster operating at Adventureland. What a great ride it is, designed by Hopkins, yes the same company that specializes in flume rides, it contains 2 inversions, an 85 feet drop, with its highest point at 90 feet. This coaster is very unique, you won’t find a carbon copy of it anywhere, and is always tops on everyone’s list of rides to go on. One cool fact about this coaster is many parts of the track go over the water in the park, which not only makes for some cool views, but adds to the thrill excitement of this ride as well.

Ma Zhu (960-987) became a goddess upon her death in the late 900’s. Known as the "Holy Mother of Heaven," Ma Zhu is also a deity that watches the seas and protects sailors. The location of the Yokohama Ma Zhu Miao is fitting in that sense since it has been such a valuable sea port.

When the ports of Japan were opened in the late 1850’s, Yokohama became an international area because of the influence of foreign trade. I like to compare Yokohama to Kobe in many ways, and another coparison can be made in the fact that there are Chinatowns located near the port in both cities. Yokohama Chukugai is the world’s second largest Chinatown, and is an excellent little excursion for those traveling in the area.

The Common Darter Sympetrum striolatum … Family .. Libellulidae

The Common Darter is a small dragonfly (38-43mm in length) and seen in Britain throughout the summer and autumn through until November. The males become a bright orange / red when they reach maturity and the female, shown in my shot, has a pale yellow/brown abdomen which develops red marking as the insect ages.

There are several species of darter which are all very similar but the Common Darter has black legs with a yellow stripe running along their length. This is diagnostic.

The habitat consists of still, stagnant water, garden ponds being a favourite. They can however often be found well away from water basking on plants along woodland rides.

I shot this game’s cards and other bits before – I looked it up, it was image 129, four months ago. I like this one better.

I had the game with me today because I met a friend over noon whom I haven’t seen in a while, and who is also a fellow board gamer. We played a short scenario and lost against the evil dragons – which was to be expected, since we used the stronger enemy cards, I haven’t played in pretty much the four months since the last image, and it was his first game 😁

GREAT FOOT-RACE FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL PXIRSE (0,000 AND PICKINGS) OVER THE UNION COURSE, 1S52 From the collection of the New York Historical Soeietv 258 REPEAL OF MISSOURI COMPROMISE 259 June 29, 1852, and Daniel Webster on October 23, 1852.There now began the political division on the issue ofslavery, which these great compromises had sought toavoid. More than any other it was a woman, HarrietBeecher Stowe, who made the issue inevitable, her greatanti-slavery novel, Uncle Toms Cabin, published in1851-52, furnishing the chief wedge that was to cleavethe country in two during the coming Administrations.So great was the curiosity to hear what position thenew and comparatively unknown President would takeon the slavery question, which, though it had been takenout of the campaign, so far as possible, by the Whig andDemocratic conventions, still remained the burning issueof the period, that a greater crowd than had ever beforeassembled in Washington flocked to the capital onMarch 4, 1853

. Toignore such dangers would be folly ; but there was no wayto see these apes in their freedom, except to go and liveamong them. To lessen in a degree the dangers incurredby such an adventure, I devised a cage of steel wire woveninto a lattice with a mesh one inch and a half wide. Thiswas made in twenty-four panels, each three feet and threeinches square, set in frames of narrow iron strips. Eachside of the panels was provided with lugs or half hinges,so arranged as to fit any side of any other panel. Thesecould be quickly bolted together with small iron rods, andwhen so joined they formed a cage of cubical shape, sixfeet and six inches square. Any one or more of the panels could be used as a door.The whole structure was painted a dingy green, so thatwhen erected in the forest it was almost invisible in thefoliage. While this cage was not strong enough to withstand aprolonged attack, it afforded a certain degree of immunityfrom being surprised by the fierce and stealthy beasts of – O

It was not, indeed, designedas a protection against them ; but, as they rarely attack aman unless provoked to it, there was little danger fromthat source. Besides, there are not many of those hugebrutes in the part where this strange domicile was set up. Through this open fabric one could see on all sides with-out obstruction, and yet feel a certain sense of safety frombeing devoured by leopards or panthers. Over this frail fortress was spread a roof of bambooleaves. It was provided with curtains of canvas, to be hungup in case of rain. The floor was of thin boards, steepedin tar. The structure was elevated about two feet fromthe ground and supported by nine small posts or stakes,firmly driven into the earth. It was furnished with a bedmade of heavy canvas. This was supported by two polesof bamboo attached to its edges. One of
