Heart defibrillators in every Denver school
By Rebecca Jones - July 5, 2011
Portable heart defibrillators will be installed in every Denver Public School beginning in August, and teachers and staff at the schools will be trained how to use them, thanks to a gift from the American Red Cross' Save A Life Denver program.
Hundreds of DPS employees will receive training in proper use of AEDs as the heart defibrillation devices are placed in all Denver schools.
Denver will join Jeffco, Douglas County and a handful of other school districts that have placed the $1,000-plus machines in every school building. The devices have been placed in many other individual schools throughout the state, often through the efforts of non-profit groups who fund their purchase.
The reason: Sudden Cardiac Arrest kills an estimated 300,000 Americans every year, including about 7,000 children. In March, a 17-year-old Poudre High School student, Matthew Hammerdorfer, died after suffering a heart attack during a rugby match. His death was one of a string of heart-related deaths to claim student athletes around the country this spring.
But the incidents aren't limited to athletes. In 2006, sudden cardiac arrest claimed the life of 3-year-old Brianna Badger, a pre-school student at Denver's Asbury Elementary School. That same year, 17-year old Dan Lunger, a student at Standley Lake High School in Jefferson County, collapsed and died of an undiagnosed heart condition.
Not quite two years later, another Standley Lake student, Lindsay Hayden, also collapsed while in class. But this time, she was revived thanks to the portable defibrillator that had been placed in the school, a gift of Lunger's parents following their son's death. Both the Lunger and the Badger families set up memorial funds to educate others about sudden cardiac death.
DPS considering devices for years
DPS officials had been pondering the installation of the devices – called automated external defibrillators, or AEDs – for at least the past five years, but lacked the resources to make it happen, said Stephen Finley, DPS director of risk management and co-leader of emergency response planning for the district. At one point, officials considered tapping some savings in the district insurance fund to buy AEDs.
Then they heard about the Save A Life Denver program, which aims to install 1,000 AEDs in public buildings throughout the city.

"Chalkbeat is my go-to education news source. Typically, Chalkbeat is the place to find out about district news before you hear about it anywhere else." — Amy M.
"We contacted the Red Cross and said we'd like 200, and could they work with us," Finley said. "And they said 'sure.'"
Facts about sudden cardiac arrest in youth
Approximately 10 percent of sudden cardiac arrests occur in people under 40, and more than 7,000 people under 18 die from undetected heart conditions each year.
Children and adolescents are twice as likely to survive SCA than either infants or adults.
Young athletes suffer sudden cardiac death twice to three times as often as their less active peers.
The median age of young athletes who suffer sudden cardiac death is 17. Ninety percent of young victims are male. Just over half are white; 44 percent are black.
Most SCA deaths in student athletes are precipitated by strenuous physical activity, particularly during football and basketball.

Even when the cost of the AEDs is covered, school officials haven't always been anxious to accept them. In 2005, the Colorado legislature passed a law, sponsored by Sen. Nancy Spence and Rep. Angie Paccione, that required school districts to accept donations for the purchase of an AED.
It's known as "David's Law," in memory of David Brooks, who died in 1995 of cardiac arrest while at summer camp. He was 12. His parents were told that an AED would probably have saved his life, but when they attempted to purchase AEDs for some schools, school officials didn't want them, chiefly because of liability fears.
In 2009, the Colorado legislature enacted another law providing limited immunity to people who render emergency care involving an AED, as long as they have received some sort of training in its proper use and the equipment is properly maintained.
AEDs not always welcomed
Even so, not every school has welcomed the arrival of an AED.
"It wasn't a quick and easy decision," Finley said of DPS's deliberations. "It's an additional duty. The real problem isn't just mounting a box in a hallway and putting an AED in. It's the training and monitoring required. That's the biggest logistical problem for us. We need five to seven people trained for each unit we receive, depending on the size of the school. So that's 600 to 800 people to keep track of, and some of those people will always be leaving and new people coming in."
Beyond that, many people simply don't view sudden heart attack as a common enough occurrence among children to make placing AEDs in schools a top priority, given all the other budget demands confronting educators.
"It takes a champion in each school. It takes someone at the school to believe in it, to get out there and beat the drum," said Rich Perse, founder and president of HeartSmart Inc., a company that provides AEDs and CPR and AED training to organizations, including schools. "A lot of people don't believe kids have bad hearts. I've even had a school nurse tell me kids don't have bad hearts."
Chantelle Sena, receptionist at the Denver Indian Center, learns from Heart Smart's Rich Perse how to perform chest compressions as part of the efforts to restart a heart. The center recently received an AED with help from the Kick Start My Heart Foundation.
But Perse points out that children aren't the only people inside school buildings.
"Schools are really community centers," he said. "On any given day, 20 percent of Americans are in some sort of school setting. There are concerts, Christmas plays where grandma and grandpa come to watch the kids. They come to basketball games. Schools are rented out to church groups on Sunday morning. They're not just in use by children during the school day."
Working with the Kick Start My Heart Foundation, Heart Smart has placed nearly 90 AEDs in Colorado schools. Participating schools must raise $750 as a "buy-in," and then are put on a waiting list. As the group is able to fund more AEDs, the participating schools get an AED plus training for 10 staffers. It's a package worth about $3,000, and the longest any school has had to wait was six months, Perse said.
Calls for more thorough screenings in schools
But placing AEDs in schools is only half the equation, say health officials. AEDs can prevent a death once a heart attack has happened. But many would like to see those heart attacks prevented in the first place. They call for stepped-up screening procedures, especially for student athletes.
"People need to understand that the sports physicals kids get now are a complete joke," said Perse, formerly a firefighter and paramedic with the West Metro Department in Lakewood before launching his company. "They have them cough and take their blood pressure. But what needs to be happening is cardiac heart screens in gym class."
That, too, is a controversial stance. The American Heart Association calls for a thorough physical exam and detailed medical history for every young athlete, but stops short of calling for a mandatory EKG before athletes are permitted to play.
Opponents of mandatory heart screenings for student athletes point to the cost of obtaining them, which could knock some low-income children out of participating in sports if their parents couldn't afford to get them screened. They also point to the number of false positives on such tests.
Proponents of heart screening say the cost can be reduced. Last month, more than 600 Adams County athletes showed up for a free health fair for students at Thornton High School. Every young athlete was given a 12-point EKG, and two pediatric cardiologists were on hand to read the results. "Out of 600 kids, three were red-flagged for further follow-up," Perse said. "That's three kids who could have died on the basketball court."
University of Denver hockey player David Carle, 21, didn't discover he had a heart condition until the summer after his senior year of high school, when he worked out at a National Hockey League scouting combine. NHL doctors looked at his EKG and recommended he get further tests done. He later discovered he had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Carle had already committed to play hockey for DU, but following his diagnosis his career in sports seemed at an end. Nevertheless, the school honored Carle's four-year scholarship, and he now works with the team as a student assistant coach.
"My condition wouldn't have been discovered without the EKG, unless something had happened and I'd passed out on the ice," said Carle, a native of Anchorage, Alaska. "So my advice to students is just, 'Go and get screened.'"
Perse is so convinced of the value of heart screenings, especially for young athletes, he intends to form a charitable foundation to promote the practice. He'll call it the Play With Heart Foundation.
"With all my contacts around the state, we can help create an infrastructure where we can show schools how to do good cardiac heart screens at no cost to the school or family."

I'm a Denver principal who's watched too many colleagues leave. Here's how our new superintendent could help.
I worry my students are always on high alert. Here's how I try to help.
Sol Pais scared me. She also reminded me of the troubled students I want to protect.


The 1968 marriage of Danzy Senna's parents, a white woman with Boston blueblood lineage and the son of a struggling black single mother, was a metaphor of a hopeful era. Both were writers and activists in the civil-rights movement. But the marriage was followed eight years later by one of the ugliest divorces in Boston's history. Decades later, Senna looks back at the opposing American histories that her parents had tried so hard to overcome. In the process, she reconstructs a long-buried family mystery that illuminates her own childhood and helps her to understand her enigmatic father, the power and failure of her parents' union, and, finally, the forces of history.

Sure, snoozing your alarm and rolling back over to sleep is always the easy option – but we all know that easy doesn't necessarily equate to being the best. Getting up early and parting ways with your bed is hard, but is definitely a valuable and healthy habit to practise.
Being a "morning person", "early bird" or, "freak" is definitely in my genetics. Despite this seemingly unfair advantage, I can definitely fall out of habit when I'm super busy, overloaded or stressed. Although relaxing is a definite necessity in life, so is the ability to be productive and stick to a healthy routine.
In order for me to get into routine wake up times, I focus when and how I fall asleep.
Going to bed even thirty to forty-five minutes earlier than usual will make a surprising difference to how willing you are to wake up the next day.
Reading always helps me to feel sleepy, meaning I fall in to a deep sleep much faster than if I was scrolling through Instagram before bed.
If you are in the "rain-on-a-tin-roof" fan club, try apps like Rain Rain.
Even Apple's own Bedtime feature ensures that you rise and sleep at the same time each day, which will help kickstart this healthy habit.
Ready to take the leap? Start 2018 by being energised, organised and productive.

Cultural Context
Science Connections
Rene Descartes introduced the idea of a two-axis system for geometry in 1637, and Cartesian coordinates are named in his honor. But long before then, the Indigenous People of North and South America were using a similar concept. They saw the idea of four directions as more than just mapping: it was a sacred organizing principle. It could be used in everything from a prayer ceremony to village architecture to things for everyday use like a woven blanket.
The traditional bead loom is a great way for students to learn how Indigenous mathematical and computational ideas can be found in these designs. The beadloom is laid out much like a Cartesian coordinate system. We have beads in rows and columns: which is the X axis and which is the Y axis? If Europeans had never come to North America, what names would we associate with "X axis" and "Y axis"?

Q: Memory leak with tf.data I'm creating a tf.data.Dataset inside a for loop and I noticed that the memory was not freed as one would expect after each iteration.
Is there a way to request from TensorFlow to free the memory?
I tried using tf.reset_default_graph(), I tried calling del on the relevant python objects but this does not work.
The only thing that seems to work is gc.collect(). Unfortunately, gc.collect does not work on some more complex examples.
Fully reproducible code:
import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import psutil
%matplotlib inline

memory_used = []
for i in range(500):
    data = tf.data.Dataset.from_tensor_slices(
                    np.random.uniform(size=(10, 500, 500)))\
                    .prefetch(64)\
                    .repeat(-1)\
                    .batch(3)
    data_it = data.make_initializable_iterator()
    next_element = data_it.get_next()

    with tf.Session() as sess:
        sess.run(data_it.initializer)
        sess.run(next_element)
    memory_used.append(psutil.virtual_memory().used / 2 ** 30)
    tf.reset_default_graph()

plt.plot(memory_used)
plt.title('Evolution of memory')
plt.xlabel('iteration')
plt.ylabel('memory used (GB)')

A: The issue is that you're adding a new node to the graph to define the iterator after each iteration, a simple rule of thumb is never define new tensorflow variables inside a loop. To fix it move
data = tf.data.Dataset.from_tensor_slices(
            np.random.uniform(size=(10, 500, 500)))\
            .prefetch(64)\
            .repeat(-1)\
            .batch(3)
data_it = data.make_initializable_iterator()
next_element = data_it.get_next()

outside the for loop and just call sess.run(next_element) to fetch the next example and once youve gone through all the training/eval examples call sess.run(data_it) to reinitialize the iterator.

A: This fix worked for me when I had a similar issue with TF 2.4

*

*sudo apt-get install libtcmalloc-minimal4

*LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 python example.py

A: If you only need to create then save the dataset to disk in the loop body, such as when wanting to preprocess large amounts of data in smaller parts to avoid out-of-memory, launch the loop body in a subprocess.
This answer describes how to launch subprocesses in general.

A: Dataset API handles iteration via built-in iterator, at least while eager mode is off or TF version is not 2.0.
So, there's simply no need to create dataset object from numpy array inside for loop, as it writes values in the graph as tf.constant. This is not the case with data = tf.data.TFRecordDataset(), so if you transform your data to tfrecords format and run it inside for loop it won't leak memory.
for i in range(500):
    data = tf.data.TFRecordDataset('file.tfrecords')\
        .prefetch(64)\
        .repeat(-1)\
        .batch(1)
    data_it = data.make_initializable_iterator()
    next_element = data_it.get_next()
    with tf.Session() as sess:
        sess.run(data_it.initializer)
        sess.run(next_element)
    memory_used.append(psutil.virtual_memory().used / 2 ** 30)
    tf.reset_default_graph()

But as I said, there's no need to create dataset inside a loop.
data = tf.data.Dataset.from_tensor_slices(
                    np.random.uniform(size=(10, 500, 500)))\
                    .prefetch(64)\
                    .repeat(-1)\
                    .batch(3)
data_it = data.make_initializable_iterator()
next_element = data_it.get_next()

for i in range(500):
    with tf.Session() as sess:
        ...

A: You are creating new python object (dataset) ever iteration of a loop and looks like garbage collector is not being invoked. Add impplicit garbage collection call and the memory usage should be fine.
Other than that, as mentioned in other answer, keep building data obect and session outside of the loop.
import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import psutil
import gc

%matplotlib inline

memory_used = []
for i in range(100):
    data = tf.data.Dataset.from_tensor_slices(
                    np.random.uniform(size=(10, 500, 500)))\
                    .prefetch(64)\
                    .repeat(-1)\
                    .batch(3)
    data_it = data.make_initializable_iterator()
    next_element = data_it.get_next()

    with tf.Session() as sess:
        sess.run(data_it.initializer)
        sess.run(next_element)

The Imposters (1998)
September 5, 2015 by ruth72
Set in the 1930s, this comedy revolves around Maurice and Arthur (Oliver Platt and Stanley Tucci), two out of work actors who stow away on a cruise ship when they are wrongly accused of assaulting the famous actor Jeremy Burtom (Alfred Molina). However, Burtom is also on the cruise ship, along with a cast of colourful characters, which means that the situation goes from bad to worse for the two hapless heroes.
With a supporting cast including Billy Connolly, Campbell Scott, Allison Janney, Tony Shalhoub and Steve Buscemi, you might think that this couldn't go wrong – and it doesn't. Well, for the characters it does, but with hilarious results for the viewer.
Tucci and Platt are incredibly funny as Arthur and Maurice, looking for all the world like a modern day Laurel and Hardy (and by coincidence, played by actors called Stanley and Oliver too!) There is a lot of slapstick and the whole film has a very zany feel to it, with all the cast giving it their all. Campbell Scott was for me, the funniest character, as a German member of staff. I have admired him as an actor for a long time, but this is the first time I have seen him in an out-and-out comedy, and he totally stole all of his scenes.
I watched this film on my own, and when I do that, it's rare for me to actually laugh out loud (very common apparently) but this film actually did make me do that on several occasions. I loved the farce, the cleverness of the lines and the absurdity of the situation. This film has definitely gone straight into my top ten films of all time.
Highly recommend, especially for fans of slapstick, or the old silent comedy films of Laurel and Hardy or The Marx Brothers. Brilliant!

RT @lanceallred41: So is Kaepernick taking a knee still an inappropriate way to protest? 1 week ago


n 1999, a report by the prestigious Institute of Medicine was reissued. Five years earlier, when the report was initially released, researchers at IOM thought the statistics would be a wake up call to the healthcare industry. It was met with silence. In 1999, that same report was reissued to catch public attention to the preventable dangers the consumer faces in our nation's hospitals. More silence. For five years, the medical industry attacked the findings. Since that time, more studies have not only confirmed the grim facts but some analyses have increased the number of preventable deaths to 200,000.
The Institute of Medicine reported that up to 98,000 individuals die each year because of medical error. HealthGrades, in summer 2004, indicated that this number could be as high as 200,000. It is more important than ever that patients work together to strengthen, not diminish, consumer and patient protections.
Although the Institute of Medicine first issued its report ten years ago, the Kaiser family Foundation and Harvard reported in November that very little action has been taken to correct the numbers of errors that happen within our hospitals. Fully 78% of the American people believe that the quality of health care has stayed the same or worsened over the past five years. One in three patients have experienced a medical error.
What are these mistakes and why are they not being addressed?
Last year, Pennsylvania became the first state to collect data on hospital-acquired infections. Pennsylvania put hard numbers on a troubling phenomenon that until now has only been estimated. Even so, the infection rate and cost is probably much higher because of underreporting by most, if not all, hospitals. The actual cost could be as high as 115,000 infections, based on billing claims hospitals have submitted to insurers. However, 12,000 contracted infections during hospitals stays in 2004 were substantiated costing an extra $2 billion in care and at least 15,000 preventable deaths. There are known solutions that are not implemented.
Pennsylvania is four percent of the US population which means there may be an additional 100 people dying per day nationwide because of hospital-acquired infections. That comes to an additional $50 billion in medical charges in the US annually. Pennsylvania began last year to require every acute care hospital to report the number of infections contracted in the hospital in four major categories: surgical, bloodstream, pneumonia and urinary tract. The average cost to treat a Pennsylvania hospital patient who developed an infection was $29,000, compared to $8,300 for those patients who did not. Each quarter, the number of reported infections went up and that trend will continue in 2005 as more and more hospitals realize they need to come into compliance in the State.
Ventilator-associated pneumonia cases at Virginia Mason Medical Center were reduced through simple steps such as keeping the patient's head elevated and insuring the patient breathes independently for at least a few minutes each day. Experts in the field say the simplest remedy for reducing infection is hand washing. Several other States, including Virginia, have passed laws requiring similar reporting by hospitals.
Hospital-acquired infections kill as many patients as AIDS, breast cancer and automobile accidents combined. Many infections can no longer be cured with common antibiotics.

Giant sunflower blossoms at different stages. Seeds of the giant sunflower will form in the center of the blossoms. Students screen rocks from soil in preparation for planting.


Jermain Defoe wasn't the only treble of note yesterday evening. Lovely to see Spurs swagger their way through an away game with quality movement, passing and pace. A frolicsome performance full of confidence and belief. Before anyone shouts me down about it 'only being Hull', let's not banish the memories of countless years of away day blues where we've been bullied and beaten comfortably by teams costing a fraction in comparison. We don't travel well. The history books prove this. Perhaps times are changing, and if so, it's a good thing to look back and compare. It's only one game, but Spurs have a zest about them which suggests it will prove to be a fruitful season away from home.
Even when we conceded a goal, we just brushed it off and persisted in dominating the game. Working our socks off to pressure Hull when they had the ball and playing it with ruthless execution when we were in possession.
Many positives to be had out of this.
Defoe looking strong and confident, netting a hat-trick for the first time in a few years. More importantly (for us in the long run) he's holding up the ball and laying it off with maturity that lacked from his game a season or two ago.
Robbie Keane, much maligned (no Bent at Spurs anymore so we have to have at least one scapegoat) was bloody great. Assisting (twice), scoring and generally rediscovering that Orish spark. Excellent work ethic, which is inspiring to the rest of the team and looked playing alongside JD. This is captain material.
Wilson, powering forward once more (as seen at WHL v Liverpool) and also getting on the score-sheet.
Modric, strong on the ball, quiet in the more obvious creative way, but proved he can stick in a shift without the rest relying on him to be the conductor.
Cudicini replaced Gomes (who seemed to land uncomfortably after a textbook punch), and although he was at fault for their goal, he looked assured and faultless for the reminder of the game.
Corluka isn't a centre-back, so hurry back Woody. Not really a positive there.
I'm happy. And why not? Again, I know Hull are in poor form, but if the likes of Utd or Chelsea visited them yesterday and won by the same score line you'd hear shouts of 'professional performance', so for us to go there and dismantle them with relative ease should have us smiling.
I don't mind taking one game at a time. We played football at the KC. Didn't sit back and allow them to stick us under pressure. When they had their moments, we held strong and got through it. The belief was simply: We are good enough to play them off the park, so we will.
We will have disappoints no doubt - be ready for them. What will matter is how we react. Remember the Blackburn defeat last year and the way we collapsed? Granted, man sent off, but we felt sorry for ourselves and lost our way. Keep feet firmly on the ground, the players should take the 5-1 win as a good result, but nothing more - and look to continue to work hard for each other. We've been guilty far too many times in the past, getting carried away with the hype. But you get the feeling the team spirit and attitude is a little more understated and professional (there's that word again). Probably because of the amount of times we've been burnt in the past.
There will be games when we will be under the cosh, and its these games, a cheeky 1-0 or 2-1 win, which will be as important than any free-flowing goal-fest display.
I'm happy with our lot, thus far.
Two successive wins from the start of the season, makes this the best start since 2006. Hedonistic times. 22 wins now for Harry in 44 games. Unbeaten at the Lane since November. Looking great away. Good solid signings that are proving to have a positive effect on the teams balance. And Keane and Defoe actually looking like a partnership up-front.
And not a single Facebook relegation party in sight*.
*34 points to go before we're safe.
Robbie Keane: Captain or Scapegoat?

Strategy Video Measurement Standards Online Video Metrics that Really Matter for Media Companies, Publishers, and Creators
Online Video Metrics that Really Matter for Media Companies, Publishers, and Creators
Greg Jarboe - September 28, 2016
I uploaded my first video to YouTube back in August 2006. It promoted an 11-part series in The Christian Science Monitor that was titled, "Hostage: The Jill Carroll Story," and focused on Jill Carroll, a freelance reporter for The Monitor, who had been kidnapped by Sunni Muslim insurgents in Baghdad on January 2006, and held hostage in Iraq for 82 days. Deprived of control over the smallest aspect of existence, she feared for her life every day.
Now, when I reported our results to my client, the folks at The Monitor weren't impressed that our 0:42-long video had received just 1,908 views. Although, they were surprised that we'd been able to negotiate coverage of their story in advance under embargo by providing CNN, MSNBC, Yahoo News, AOL News, The Huffington Post, and Boing Boing with a link to the YouTube video and a 150-word excerpt from the first part of the series. And they were amazed to learn that within the first 24 hours after our news embargo had been lifted at 6 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 13, 2006, there were 247 news stories and 1,014 blog posts about "Jill Carroll." But, they were astounded when we showed them their own web analytics data. It reported that with the first 24 hours after the story broke more than 450,000 unique visitors had flooded CSMonitor.com, seven times the site's daily average in July. And their page views for the first 24 hours broke through the 1 million mark, a massive increase from the site's average of 121,247 page views per day in July.

Online Video Metrics for 2016
That's when I decided to add video marketing to my content marketing agency's list of SEO, PR, and social media marketing services. That's also when I decided that I needed to focus a lot more attention and thought to online video metrics that really matter. So, here we are in 2016. And over the past decade, video measurement has gotten much more robust – and a lot more complex.
For example, YouTube Insight was launched in March 2008 and then replaced by YouTube Analytics in November 2011. And that's just on the organic side of things. Brand Lift surveys in AdWords were introduced in February 2013. And Earned Actions, which enable brands to track the actions people take after the initial YouTube view, such as subscribing or sharing, were introduced in December 2013. More recently, Google's Brand Lift solution was expanded to include measuring lift in consideration, favorability and purchase intent for ads in June 2015.
And, let's not forget Facebook video. The social network announced new video metrics in Page Insights and Ads Reporting in May 2014. The company launched conversion lift measurement in January 2015. And several weeks ago, Facebook in a post on its "Advertiser Help Center" that its metric for the average time users spent watching videos was artificially inflated because it was only factoring in video views of more than three seconds. The social network said it was introducing a new metric to fix the problem.
Meanwhile, Tubular Labs announced Tubular Video Ratings, a new group of online video metrics that measure views and engagements across videos and publishers, in April 2016. And last month, Tubular announced it is working with YouTube on their upcoming YouTube Measurement Program, which aims to provide YouTube's clients and users with accurate, consistent, and relevant measurement data. For that announcement, Alexandra Watt, the Director of Business Development at Tubular Labs wrote in the company's blog, "We're all living through a once-in-a-generation shift … from linear TV to internet-enabled video. Tubular estimates that there are over 10,000 independent creators who make a living in online video; 66,000 media companies and brands generate 111 billion views/month; and over 3 million new videos are uploaded to the public every day."
However, she acknowledged that most of the third-party measurement "solutions" currently on the market weren't designed for the scale and pace of online video. So, Watt added, "As the online video industry matures and speeds towards 1 trillion video views per month and billions of dollars shift towards online video ads and sponsored integrations, it's time for us as an industry to get serious about third-party measurement." I couldn't agree with her more. And I want to pitch in to help YouTube and the industry provide the online video metrics that really matter. So, what are the video metrics that matter these days?
Online Video Metrics That Matter
Well, there isn't a simple answer to this question because different video marketers have different marketing goals and business objectives, so they need different key performance indicators (KPIs). For example, at least five different segments of video marketers and advertisers need very different sets of metrics to track their results across owned, paid, and earned media:
Owned: Media companies, publishers, multi-channel networks (MCNs), and YouTube creators are trying to build valuable audiences like the highly coveted 18- to 34-year-old demographic.
Paid: Brand advertisers and their ad agencies are trying to increase brand awareness, ad recall, consideration, favorability, purchase intent, and brand interest.
Owned: B2C and B2B marketers are trying to get more customers to make a purchase (for an ecommerce site), complete a game level (for a mobile gaming app), or submit a contact information form (for a marketing or lead generation site).
Paid: Direct response advertisers are trying to Increase engagement with their video ad, drive visits to their website, encourage viewers to buy their products, or increase conversions.
Earned: Influencer marketing agencies and teams are trying to find the most influential rising video stars and move quickly to contact the creators they want to work with.
In other words, there isn't one set of online video metrics that really matter these days. There are at least five sets – one for each of the different segments of video marketers and advertisers mentioned above. And there are at least three buckets of metrics to measure the impact of video on the viewer's awareness, attitude, and behavior for each of the five different segments.
Yes, I know this is an over-simplification. But, we've got to start somewhere. So, consider the following buckets of the online video metrics as a starting point for a much longer and more interactive discussion of the ones that really matter.
For: Media Companies, Publishers, and Creators
So, let's take a look at some of the metrics that media companies, and other video publishers must consider.
Awareness: Since YouTube was launched in 2005, the number of "views" has been used as a metric to measure success. But, its usefulness is being hotly debated these days. Part of this is because a "view" of a YouTube video isn't equivalent to a "view" of a Facebook video. So, comparing the number of "views" on the two leading video platforms is like comparing grapefruits and kumquats. But, it's also time to admit that no one really knows how many views you need to increase awareness. Fortunately, there's an alternative. It's "watch time." YouTube added "estimated minutes watched" to the "Views" report in YouTube Analytics on Oct. 11, 2012. A day later, YouTube started adjusting the ranking of videos in YouTube search to reward engaging videos that kept viewers watching.
In June 2014, Facebook announced that it was adding how long someone watched a video to its ranking factors, which had previously included likes, comments, and shares. And in February 2016, Facebook added new video metrics to its reports that let advertisers see the percentage of people who have viewed their videos with sound in Page Insights and Ads Insights, too. And for comparison purposes, minutes equal minutes, hours equal hours, and days equal days — whether a video is watched on YouTube or Facebook. But, how much "watch time" do you need to increase awareness?
Well, the Google Agency Blog published some research in August 2015 which found that there is a consistent relationship between how long a video ad is viewable and increases in brand awareness and consideration. The longer a user views your ad, the higher the lift in these two important brand metrics.
So, I think media companies, and video publishers, and creators, should ALL use "watch time" as a metric that really matters.
Attitude: Since YouTube was launched in 2005, the "ratings" that a video received has been a metric that's often gone overlooked. Why? Well, initially YouTube showed the number of stars that a small percentage of viewers had given a video. Five stars meant they loved it; one star meant they loathed it. But, in September 2009, YouTube replaced its five-star rating system. Why? Well, the overwhelming majority of videos on YouTube had a stellar five-star rating, while only a few viewers were moved to rate videos when they didn't like them. In other words, people either liked the video they'd just watched or they couldn't be bothered to rate it. That made the five-star rating system pretty useless. And shortly after that, YouTube replaced it with the thumbs up, thumbs down ratings that Facebook had made popular.
Today, there's a better rating system than "Likes" to use as a metric. It is "engagements." According to Tubular, "engagements" include Likes, Comments, and Shares. In addition, Tubular's ER30 measures a video or publisher's engagement rate benchmarked across all content (e.g. 2.2x more engaging than average). This is the new online video metric that really matters.
Behavior: Since April 2011, YouTube Partners have been able to track their results by looking at the "estimated earnings reports" in YouTube Insight, and then in YouTube Analytics. Then, in February 2016, the estimated earnings report was updated and renamed the "revenue report." Why did the folks at YouTube do that? Well, the best explanation that I can share with you comes from Commander Leonard 'Bones' McCoy, M.D. (DeForest Kelley) in Star Trek: The Motion Picture, "I know engineers, they LOVE to change things."
Nevertheless, you can use the Revenue report in YouTube Analytics to see:
Revenue-related details for the four partner content types — all claimed content, claimed partner and premium user uploaded content, claimed standard user uploaded content, and all partner uploaded content.
Revenue-related details at the channel and video levels.
Estimated revenue.
Estimated ad revenue.
Revenue derived from transactions, like paid content and Fan Funding.
Revenue derived from YouTube Red.
In other words, this bucket of online video metrics still really matters – no matter what it's called.
Well, we covered a lot of ground, didn't we? We'll be following up this article with information on the online video metrics that really matter for B2B, B2C, & Influencer Marketers, and for Brand Advertisers and Their Ad Agencies, so stay tuned.

Der Natterer-Arassari (Selenidera nattereri) ist eine Vogelart aus der Familie der Tukane. Die Art kommt in Südamerika vor. Sie wurde nach dem österreichischen Zoologen Johann Natterer benannt. Die IUCN stuft den Arassari als  (=least concern - nicht gefährdet) ein. Wie bei anderen Kurzschnabeltukanen besteht ein auffälliger Sexualdimorphismus. Es werden keine Unterarten unterschieden.

Erscheinungsbild
Der Natterer-Arassari erreicht eine Körperlänge von 30 bis 33 Zentimetern. Die Männchen erreichen eine Flügellänge von 12,2 bis 13,6 Zentimetern, der Schwanz wird zwischen 9,9 und 10,9 Zentimeter lang und die Schnabellänge beträgt 5,4 bis 6,7 Zentimeter. Die Weibchen weisen ähnliche Körpermaße auf, haben jedoch mit einer Schnabellänge von 4,7 bis 5,4 Zentimetern einen etwas kürzeren Schnabel.

Die Männchen haben eine schwarze Stirn und einen schwarzen Scheitel. Der Nacken, die Kehle und die Brust sind gleichfalls schwarz. Von der Region unterhalb der unbefiederten Augenumgebung bis zu den Ohrdecken zieht sich ein gelber Fleck. Im Nacken befindet sich ein schmales gelbes Band. Die Körperoberseite ist olivgrün, an den Flanken findet sich jeweils ein großer oranger Fleck. Die Schenkel sind ebenso wie die Unterschwanzdecken rot. Der Schnabel ist überwiegend rot mit einem dunkelgrünen bis schwarzen First. An der Basis von Ober- und Unterschnabel finden sich schwarze Flecken. Ober- und Unterschnabel weisen vertikale weiße Zeichnungen auf, die Schnabelspitze ist gelblich-weiß. Die unbefiederte Augenumgebung ist grün, die Iris braunrot. Füße und Beine sind graugrün. Bei den Weibchen sind Nacken, Kehle, Stirn, Scheitel und Brust kastanienbraun. Bis jetzt sind in freier Wildbahn nur Jungvögel beobachtet worden, die bereits etwas älter waren. Sie ähnelten den adulten Vögeln sehr, wiesen aber vor allem matter rote Unterschwanzdecken auf.

Verwechslungsmöglichkeiten bestehen mit dem Reinwardt-Arassari. Die Verbreitungsgebiete der beiden Arten überlappen sich aber nicht. Beim Reinwardt-Arassari ist der Schnabel ebenfalls dunkelrot, der First und die Spitze sind jedoch schwarz. Das Verbreitungsgebiet des Natterer-Arassaris grenzt an das des Pfefferfressers, der gleichfalls zu den Kurzschnabelarassaris gehört. Dieser hat aber einen hornfarbenen Schnabel mit kleinen schwarzen und blauen Farbmarkierungen. Eine entfernte Ähnlichkeit besteht mit dem Grünarassari, dieser hat jedoch eine gelbe Brust und einen gelben Bauch.

Verbreitungsgebiet, Lebensraum und Lebensweise
Das Verbreitungsgebiet erstreckt sich mit Lücken vom Osten Kolumbiens über den Süden Venezuelas und den Norden Brasiliens bis nach Guayana und Französisch-Guayana im Osten. Die Anforderungen des Natterer-Arassaris an seinen Lebensraum sowie seine Fortpflanzungsbiologie sind bislang nur unzureichend untersucht. Grundsätzlich ist er ein Bewohner feuchter Flachlandwälder. Er bevorzugt dabei Waldgebiete, die Flüsse säumen. Bislang sind die Mageninhalte von sechs Individuen untersucht worden. Alle enthielten lediglich Früchte. Die Fortpflanzungszeit fällt vermutlich in den Zeitraum März bis Mai.

Google has added 'Fan Favorite' categories and is asking users to vote for their favourite app and game of 2018.
Google releases a list of the best apps and games every year but this time, it's also asking Android users to vote for their favourite ones on the Google Play Store. The company's year-end awards are now interactive as it has added new 'Fan Favorite' categories as part of its "Best of Play" yearly app awards list. It should be noted that the while the company's press statement mentions that users will will also get to vote for the movie they think was the best this year, but the option is not available as of writing.
To vote, one can either open Play Store app on their Android-powered phone to cast a vote or head over to the webpage here. Do note that voting closes on November 26, 2018 and the Fan Favorite winners, along with Google's list of the Best of 2018 picks will be announced on December 3, 2018.
Even though there are a slew of games, Google has limited the number of games and apps one can vote for. Additionally, a person can cast only one vote per category. After that, they will be shown where their chosen app or game stands. Talking about games, one will see some well-known titles like PUBG, Clash Royale, Hill Climb Racing 2 and others competing against each other. While in apps, there are options to vote for Google Pay, Where Is My Train and many others. It seems that Google has localised the voting for apps and games since Gaana, Hotstar and Zee5 are also on the list.
Last year, Red Bull TV won the award for the Best TV Experience, while the Best VR and AR Experience awards were won by Virtual Virtual Reality and Woorld respectively. Transformers: Forged to Fight won the award for the Best Game on the Play Store, while the Best Multiplayer game award went to Blizzard Entertainment's, Hearthstone.
