The Internet of Things (IoT) has been in the news over the last few days, because an estimated 100.000 internet connected devices were used to launch a malicious distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack, bringing down sites including Twitter, the Guardian, Netflix, Reddit, CNN and many others in Europe and the US. But should we consider the Internet of Things as a blessing or a curse? Can we harvest the benefits without having to put up with the drawbacks?
In other words, it is a way for everyday objects to talk to each other and to you. For example, your refrigerator might alert your smart phone when the milk has run out. The forecasted numbers of devices are staggering. Cisco, the largest networking provider in the world, estimates the number of connected devices to reach even 50 billion by 2020.
From a mind+machine perspective, this opens up a whole new world of promising use cases, with millions of new data sources, connected directly to where the data is being processed. Most of the data from these devices comes in the form of simple sensor readings, such as: locations, temperatures, speeds, vibrations, pressures…etc.
Increasingly this data is streamed, for example a machine sensors might send temperature or pressure readings every few milliseconds or cameras stream video feeds in real time. Streamed data adds a new aspect to data analytics, as it is simply impossible for humans to be involved in the actual digestion of the data since mind is simply too slow to get involved at the streaming level, full stop. However with the right machine, this will allow you to get the information and even insights much more immediately.
So what is the role of the mind in use cases involving streaming data? When the tools required for a use case grow more sophisticated, it also becomes more important to focus on the development and the governance of the use case, and the usage of any Level 3 insights generated. 'Use case engineering' might become a new function, with people working on useful Internet of Things opportunities, creating or fine-tuning prototypes that work and discarding the ones that don't, and then building production versions that run semi-autonomously, supervised by humans that are assisted by machines.
Regardless of how the use cases are managed, it is clear that opportunities in this fields are plentiful and very interesting. However the Internet of Things is still in its infancy in general and before all the promises can be realized, a few fundamental issues need to be addressed.
Security: We need to be aware that every connection in the Internet of Things is a potential opportunity for unauthorized access, especially when the data flows through the open Internet. Cyberattacks like the one last week were only possible because there are thousands of unprotected devices out there which can easily be infected and used for malicious purposes. Before connecting your camera or fridge to the internet, think about who else might be able to access it. How many companies are really on top of this in every aspect of the Internet of Things?
Standards: Interoperability in the Internet of Things is still an unsettled and unsettling matter. At a minimum, this is slowing down the evolution. What language should all these 50 billion devices speak with each other? Not-for-profit standardization bodies in various domains and consortia set up by vendor communities are trying to address the issue. Of course all this will work out in the long run, but there will certainly be a lot of duplication, lack of interoperability, and reduced numbers of choices for customers in the meantime.
Data Privacy: Another major, completely unresolved, and worsening issue with the current Internet of Things is the complex topic of data privacy. What information needs to be protected, why, for how long, by whom, and where?
Intellectual property rights (IPR): This topic gets completely overshadowed by the hype and by the standards, privacy, and safety issues. The Internet of Things will need a very clear and easy-to-implement economic model for owning, pricing, selling, and using various types of Levels 1–4 data, information, insights, and knowledge if participants want to get their proper returns for their ownership rights.
For the sake of brevity, I will have to skip the issues of liabilities, accountabilities and audit trails, but if you are keen to learn more about the Yin or the Yang of the Internet of Things or how mind+machine can help you exploit its potential, why not take a look at my book, where I discuss these topics in more details.

EU finds too many commercials on Polish television
Katarzyna Grynienko 2007-12-16
The European Commission is calling on Polish broadcasters to cut back on commercial time. Polish daily Gazeta Wyborcza reports new research shows that some EU members are exceeding the 12-minute-per-hour limit on advertising. Spanish television has already been disciplined, and Italy and Poland are next in line.
In Poland the EC has singled out public broadcaster TVP1 and private channels Polsat, TVN and TV4. Part of the difficulty lies in interpretation of the EU directive on advertising. Usually if a program has one sponsor, notices are shown before and after the broadcast. The broadcasters are treating advertising blocks and sponsor notices aired before and after each show as two different things. In the opinion of the experts from Brussels, both the ads and the notices should count as commercial time.
Witold Kołodziejski, chairman of the National Radio and Television Council, said the matter is serious and may result in a change in the Radio and Television Act which could radically affect the advertising market, Gazeta Wyborcza reported.
The new Polish government that took office after October parliamentary elections has promised to introduce an amendment to the Radio and Television Act early next year to drop the public radio-TV license fee, but it has not indicated its stance on the ad issue.
"We are not on the level of writing this amendment yet," Iwona Śledzińska-Katarasińska, who chairs the parliamentary committee on culture and mass media, told Gazeta Wyborcza. "The discussions are concentrating on the roles of the public media in society and independent market regulation."

Edgy Tim: Which local names could get the call to the NFL?
By Edgy Tim April 24, 2019 2:40 PM
The 2019 NFL Draft is almost upon us. And despite the Bears not having a first or second round pick, there are a couple of names from the Land of Lincoln who could make waves this weekend-- including a few who could hear their name called in the early rounds. Here is a list of local players to pay attention to when the NFL Draft gets underway Thursday night:
Julian Love, DB, Notre Dame (Nazareth Academy)
Love was a four star-ranked cornerback recruit by Rivals.com coming out of the La Grange Park school in the Class of 2016. He had over a dozen FBS scholarship offers while also being a two-time All-State player for the Roadrunners. He then gave Notre Dame his verbal commitment on Mar. 22, 2015. Love also looked hard at both Northwestern and Boston College before committing to the Fighting Irish. Love is ranked by several NFL scouting services as the state's consensus top overall pick in the 2019 draft.
David Edwards, OT, Wisconsin (Downers Grove North)
Edwards was listed by Rivals.com as a 6-foot-6, 225 pound athlete in his prep football days. He played quarterback for the Trojans and head coach John Wander. Edwards gave Wisconsin his verbal commitment on June 14, 2015 as a potential tight end recruit, choosing the Badgers over several other Big Ten schools. In Madison, Edwards grew into a 6-foot-6, 308 pound offensive tackle and was a multi-year starter. He is being projected by several NFL scouting services as a low-second round to high-third round pick.
Miles Boykin, WR, Notre Dame (Providence Catholic)
Boykin, listed in high school as a 6-foot-3, 225 pound four star-ranked wide receiver by Rivals.com in the Class of 2015, gave Notre Dame his verbal commitment back on Dec. 14, 2014 after taking an official visit to the Sound Bend campus. Boykin, who held nearly 20 FBS scholarship offers is being projected by several NFL Scouting services as a high to mid-third round selection. Chicagoland fans may remember him as part of the High School Lites "Drive" series.
TJ Edwards, LB, Wisconsin (Lakes)
Edwards was listed in high school as a 6-foot-2, 215 pound three star-ranked outside linebacker in the Class of 2014. And he was versatile, assisting in a few other positions as a player for then-head coach Luke Mertens. Edwards, who was originally verbally committed to Western Michigan, switched his decision and gave Wisconsin his verbal commitment on Dec. 3, 2013. Edwards is being projected by several NFL Scouting services as a an early-to-mid-fourth round selection.
Terry Beckner Jr., DT, Missouri (East St. Louis)
Beckner Jr. was a 6-foot-4, 298 pound four star-ranked defensive tackle and the 36th best recruit in the nation according to Rivals.com in the Class of 2015. He gave Missouri his verbal commitment on Feb. 4, 2015 in a nationally-televised signing day press conference. Beckner Jr. selected Missouri after making official visits to Auburn, Florida State and Ohio State. He is being projected by several NFL scouting services as a mid-fourth round selection.
Here are some additional names to keep an eye on during this weekend's NFL Draft:
QB Clayton Thorson - Northwestern (Wheaton North)
DE Chris Slayton - Syracuse (Crete-Monee)
OG Nick Allegretti - Illinois (Lincoln-Way East)
OG Tanner Farmer - Nebraska (Highland)
K Austin Seibert - Oklahoma (Belleville West)
TE Daniel Helm - Duke (Glenwood)
WR Scotty Miller - Bowling Green (Barrington)
S Julian Hylton - Illinois/Southern Illinois (Lincoln-Way North)
LB Jerry Powe - Lafayette (Warren Township)

Play Like a Champion: Miles Boykin's Journey to Notre Dame
By Mark Strotman September 03, 2015 7:15 PM
Miles Boykin had been dreading this moment.
Two weeks after celebrating his 15th birthday, the lanky wide receiver was thrust into the Providence high school football spotlight. Though not uncommon for a prestigious program to promote its top freshmen to varsity for the postseason, there was nothing ordinary about the 6-foot-4 athlete widely considered the future of a school with nine state titles. Only injuries had kept the Tinley Park, Ill., native from being called up full-time to varsity in the regular season, and head coach Mark Coglianese made it clear to Miles he wasn't simply there to run prep team routes. Rather, offensive coordinator Bill Green planned on implementing Miles, a few months removed from his 8th grade graduation, if the situation necessitated it against a Wheaton Warrenville South team led by Northwestern-bound Dan Vitale.
For three quarters Miles nervously paced the Providence sideline with freshman quarterback Justin Hunniford, fearing a poorly-run route or dropped pass could mean the difference between victory and the end of the season for a senior group he had called teammates for less than a week.
Late in the fourth quarter, however, with the Celtics trailing by two scores but threatening deep in Tigers territory, Miles heard his coach call for him.
As Miles left the sideline and headed toward the huddle, he knew his time had arrived.
Slot Right, Cup Cowboy, Y-Go.
Boykin locked eyes for a brief moment with All-American senior tackle Ryan Ward, giving the apprehensive freshman a sense of comfort as quarterback Chris Salazar repeated the play call Miles had practiced all week yet hoped not to hear.
"OK," he thought to himself, suddenly feeling a surge of confidence. "Let's do this."
Lined up to the right at tight end, he stumbled out of his route but managed to get a step down the seam on trailing safety Mike Shelton. Salazar saw him and lofted a pass that appeared too far in front of the sprinting freshman. As the pass floated toward the 5-yard line, Miles lunged forward and corralled the ball with one hand, tumbling to the ground at the 1-yard line. Providence scored on the next play to pull within a score.
Although the Celtics came up short in that game - Wheaton Warrenville South finished as the runner-up in 7A - that play alone was enough for Coglianese, who first heard about Miles when the freshman was in 5th grade, to recognize that the Celtics' future was in good hands.
"Right there we knew," Coglianese recalls, "he was definitely going to be a special player."
screen_shot_2016-10-19_at_9.21.33_am.png
Mark Coglianese was in utter disbelief.
A former collegiate defensive back, he expected his secondary to be an integral part of the Celtics' 2012 season. With four eventual college-bound athletes, including Iowa's Kevin Ward, in the defensive backfield, opposing offenses weren't expected to have much success through the air against Providence. But with each passing practice a certain sophomore wide receiver was leaving those talented defensive backs in his wake. Miles had flashed his potential as a freshman in that playoff game, but this was different.
"Every time he'd run a deep route he would just run by our defensive backs," Coglianese says laughing. "I'm thinking, 'Are we being nice to him? Are we that slow on defense?' Because he constantly made us look bad, and I couldn't understand it. Our defense was pretty good. He made us look bad."
As it turns out, those practice repetitions were more about Miles' talents and less about the secondary. Bumps and bruises kept him from being a large contributor on the varsity team, but Miles still managed 250 yards and four touchdowns in a run-heavy offense built around running back-turned-quarterback Dominic Lagone. The Providence coaching staff had toyed with the idea that year of playing Miles at quarterback, with the idea of the team's best playmaker having the ball in his hands every year making too much sense. Ultimately they opted against that, leaving Miles at wide receiver to assist in his long-term objective. The move paid off handsomely for both Miles and the Celtics, who went 7-2 in the regular season and advanced to the quarterfinals of the 7A state playoffs.
Staying at wide receiver also allowed Miles to transform that potential into stardom as a junior. He began attending college camps, joined Core 6 Athletes training and became a regular in the weight room with his personal strength and conditioning coach Steve Purvin, who admitted Miles resembled a "Saint Bernard puppy" when he arrived for the first day of workouts.
"He's got these big old hands, he's got these big old feet, he's got this big old lanky frame," Purvin recollects. "If this guy has any athletic ability whatsoever, wow, do we have a pretty good player."
Miles turned a corner as a junior, finishing the Celtics' 7-5 season with 51 receptions for 730 yards and 14 touchdowns. But when the Celtics bowed out of the 2013 playoffs, a 27-26 loss in the final minute to East St. Louis, he realized something.
Having been a part of the varsity football and basketball teams for three seasons already, he had seen three different senior classes fall short of their ultimate goal of winning a state championship in both sports. He had watched tears fall, seen garbage bags filled as seniors cleaned out their lockers, and looked on as his devastated teammates embraced for the last time, having come up empty in their quest for greatness.
"He went through it for three years straight," says his brother George III. "That was his inspiration to not have it happen to him."
The next season a daunting schedule that eventually touted seven playoff-bound teams tempered expectations, even for a 2014 Celtics team returning two Division I receivers in Miles and Iowa-bound Nate Vejvoda, a talented sophomore running back in Richie Warfield and Hunniford returning as the team's starting quarterback.
But Boykin and the Celtics quickly saw the fruits of their offseason labor yield positive results, including wins over three of the state's most tradition-rich football programs: 21-10 over Joliet Catholic on Opening Night. 33-14 over Mount Carmel in Week 3. 41-27 over St. Rita two weeks later.
A Week 6 hiccup at Loyola, where a last-second field goal resulted in a three-point loss, acted as a reality check. But Miles and the Celtics responded with three straight wins to finish the regular season at 8-1, earning the program's first conference championship in the CCL Blue, one of the nation's toughest football conferences.
A dream regular season didn't come without its cost, though. In the conference championship game against Brother Rice in Week 9, Miles suffered a fracture and multiple torn muscles in his left elbow. After sitting out two games, including a Round 1 win over Quincy, he returned against St. Rita - he borrowed a friend's hockey elbow pad for extra protection - and dislocated his left pinky finger while completing a reception. It resulted in a partially chipped bone and torn ligaments, forcing doctors to insert a pin that kept him out of the Celtics' quarterfinals win over Wheaton Warrenville South.
Around the clock treatment from his mother, as well as more equipment adjustments - Miles manipulated his "lucky glove" to allow the pin, which stuck out of his finger, room to maneuver - permitted him to get back on the field for a rematch with Mount Carmel in the semifinals. It was then that the legend grew again. Miles, with his left elbow padded up and his left hand wrapped up, caught seven passes for 121 yards and a score and threw a touchdown, leading Providence back to the state championship game, 48 minutes from his lifelong goal.
"At that point," Miles remembers of his injuries," it was championship or bust."
It's not cocky, but rather a true strategical assessment, that Miles admits taking it as "disrespect at this point" when he's not double-teamed. Undefeated Cary-Grove, Providence's opponent in the 8A state title game, agreed with the evaluation. Shadowing Miles with their top cornerback and safety, who at times lined up on the numbers, the Trojans limited Providence's All-American wideout to a pair of receptions for 8 yards in the opening half. It paid off, too, as they led 14-10 with two quarters remaining in the season.
But 17 years of preparation, an elbow brace, a Styrofoam-wrapped pinky finger and a school's hopes and dreams weren't going to waste because of an opponent's defensive strategy.
Late in the third quarter, Boykin showed why it wouldn't be enough, either.
For the first time all night, he signaled to Hunniford for a sluggo route, dipping inside cornerback Zach McQuade before turning upfield toward the sideline. A perfectly thrown ball from Hunniford resulted in a 38-yard reception to break the game open. Providence scored later in the drive, with Warfield adding two of his four scores after halftime to lead the Celtics to a 31-28 victory, the Celtics' 10th state title. The "Quest For X," the team's mantra at the start of the year, was complete.
In previous years Miles would watch each state championship game. Except one. Whichever class the Celtics had been placed in and eventually eliminated from, he turned off the television when that game aired, knowing he and the Celtics were talented enough to beat the eventual champion. He had always imagined what it would be like, to stand on a podium hoisting a state championship trophy for his teammates, family, coaches and school.
"You just dream about it, and words can't describe what it actually feels like," he reminisces. "I just remember being happy in that moment, and all the hard work that it took to get to that moment is what made me happy. Not actually winning it, but all the hard work that it took to get to that moment.
"We did it for ourselves of course, but doing it for the program and everyone around the program, that was huge."
Before Miles Boykin was rewriting the Providence football record book, winning a state title and filling moving boxes with recruiting letters, he was simply George's little brother.
Growing up 2 years apart with an equally strong enthusiasm for sports, the pair quickly became both each other's favorite teammate and fiercest rival. Soon after their grandparents introduced them to the movie "Space Jam" and bought them a Little Tykes hoop, the duo was off and running. Basketball became a passion, with their mother, Felicia, acting as the PA announcer – complete with flickering lights, introductions and play-by-play – for 4-year-old George and 2-year-old Miles. They eventually outgrew the plastic basketball hoop and graduated to the driveway, with the elder George tallying an undefeated record against the younger, though certainly not smaller, Miles.
And when they had finally lowered the rim to dunk on one too many times – "George breaks everything," Miles says laughing, with George later confirming – they moved to the local community center for drills with their father, George Jr., and park district teams that produced the first of what would become countless trophies sprinkled throughout the house.
Miles wanted nothing more than to be like his older brother, and George was happy to oblige. Not only because the pair became best friends through their common bond with sports but also because Miles was keeping up. George went as far as lobbying his eighth grade basketball coach to allow Miles, then a sixth grader, to play on their team. Coach said no, yet a year later Miles moved up, and in eighth grade dunked for the first time.
"George was always taught to go and set the example," their father says. "Miles would blaze the example."
Nowhere was that made clearer than when it came time to pick a high school. Miles was set on attending Marist "all the way," with Brother Rice also piquing his interest as multiple schools in the area courted the young rising star, mostly for basketball. But the recruiting pitches were over as soon as Felicia gave her input. She made it clear that as long as George was around, Miles would be following in his footsteps. That wouldn't change. Once George graduated in two years, she said, Miles was free to choose whichever school he preferred. George had been the guiding light for Miles growing up, and he too was confident Providence was the right decision for his younger brother.
It became an important decision for George, too. Early in his junior year he suffered a concussion that ended his season abruptly. He played out the basketball season that winter before a doctor ruled that lingering effects from the injury would keep him out of all contact sports, including football and a promising soccer career.
He remained a focal part of the football team as a senior, providing leadership and acting as a de-facto coach for the tight ends. He felt close with the team, especially with his little brother Miles having moved up full-time to varsity. But nothing could fill the void of strapping on the pads and donning his forest green Providence jersey one last time, so he did the next best thing.
He willed his No. 81 jersey to Miles.
By that time Miles, a sophomore, had grown to love Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson, also No. 81 – the stark similarities in their builds and style at wide receiver helped – but understood that jersey preference was reserved for the seniors. But with George sidelined, he made the decision to have his younger brother, who had worn No. 81 as a freshman, carry on the legacy he had started by wearing his number. Miles proudly accepted.
For years it had been George carrying Miles. Now it was time for Miles to carry George.
"It was all for him. Every time I step on the field I'm always thinking of him, because he's thinking of me," an emotional Miles admits. "He's always wanted me to win, always wanted me to succeed, never been jealous of me. He's been the greatest thing that's happened to me."
Miles' biggest fan hasn't relinquished his title. Not by a long shot. George attended Quincy University during Miles' junior year and hosted his younger brother when the Celtics drew a road contest against Quincy High School in the second round of the state playoffs. Miles caught a touchdown and threw another in the 55-27 victory and, as George remembers, "the whole town praised his name the next week."
George transferred to local Lewis University as a sophomore to focus on becoming a pilot, and it also put him 20 minutes away from Providence. He attended all 14 of the Celtics' games, with his brother honoring him every step of the way wearing No. 81. It's the same number Miles will wear at Notre Dame.
Many will think of Heisman Trophy winner and NFL Hall of Famer Tim Brown when they see No. 81 run through the tunnel at Notre Dame Stadium on Saturdays. But as Miles jogs on to the field, living out his dream, he'll think of George.
"It makes me really feel like I did my work. Even though I may not have thought I was the best brother, it makes me feel like I was," George reflects. "It's not hard growing up when you have a little brother that's always there with you."
No one close to Miles Boykin thought he would pick Notre Dame.
His mother was convinced Michigan State had wrapped up the commitment late in the process. His head coach thought Missouri had the right recruiting class to earn Miles' commitment, while Illinois was also picking up steam on his list. His older brother thought Michigan could have been the choice, while Florida also figured to be a destination. Most Providence assistants thought Miles would look somewhere in the Big Ten.
"I was shocked when he said Notre Dame," his father remembers, speaking for just about everyone closest to the highly sought-after recruit.
Miles' decision to attend Notre Dame should have come as a surprise for one reason. He hated the Irish growing up. The majority of students at Providence Catholic were fans of the Irish, and Miles couldn't stand it. So when Brian Kelly and the coaching staff began sending him letters, he brushed them off. He tossed them in one of three giant moving boxes that included letters from just about every major program, and went on with his recruitment. When then-offensive coordinator Chuck Martin first showed up at Providence, Miles wasn't there because junior appreciation day allowed him to leave school early, which he did.
Notre Dame finally broke through when current offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock became Miles' lead recruiter, convincing the talented junior to attend a game in South Bend.
"If you don't like it, fine," Miles remembers Denbrock telling him. "But at least we tried."
Accompanied by his mother and quarterback (and Notre Dame die-hard) Hunniford, Miles got his first real taste of Irish football. The Golden Dome. 81,000-seat Notre Dame Stadium. Touchdown Jesus. The majestic 1,250-acre campus. Despite a snowstorm and frigid temperatures in the 20s, Miles quietly soaked it all in and watched the Irish defeat BYU with a brand new perspective.
"I loved it," he recalls of his first visit.
Later that winter Miles attended a Notre Dame-North Carolina basketball game, stayed with wide receiver Chris Brown and got his first real look at the practice and training facilities; it was an important part of Miles' recruitment - "I wanted to see the equipment all the time" - and cemented the Irish as one of his three finalists. It was about that time that the recruiting process forced Miles to grow up, a maturation process that helped him weed out other schools.
"Not every person is going to be 100 percent truthful to you, and you're naive to think that if anybody does," he says. "Around my junior year I started learning what was real and what's not real. And at that point, that's when you know you need to start cutting colleges down."
After receiving 25 official offers he narrowed his list down to 10 schools. Of those 10, he visited Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Michigan State, Missouri, Notre Dame, Ole Miss and Wisconsin, while Oregon and Virginia Tech remained in the mix.
And each school had its pros. Michigan State had been the first school to contact Miles. Wisconsin had sent him his first real recruiting letter, a piece of mail he still remembers receiving. Illinois had been his first scholarship offer. Florida had impressed his mother most on their visit. His brother had been persistent on keeping Michigan alive as an option. Missouri had locked up one of the top quarterbacks in the 2015 class, Drew Lock. Joining Ole Miss and the incomparable SEC West seemed like a winning proposition for his NFL aspirations. The Oregon Ducks wowed him most when they visited Providence, and for a kid who loved equipment, well, the Ducks had that box checked off.
Everyone close to Miles knew what those programs had to offer. But for Miles, each lacked the same thing: None were Notre Dame.
So in March 2014, when Kelly extended an official offer to Miles, it meant something more.
"That was the offer I was most excited about," Miles says. "My mom cried in the car she was so happy for me, saying 'I know this is what you wanted.' And at that point I knew it was going to come down to two schools: Notre Dame and Michigan State."
He visited Notre Dame again in late March and once more in June, but what sold him most on the Irish was the trip to East Lansing he took two weeks later. The Spartans were his clear second choice, but he needed to place himself in a college setting that wasn't Notre Dame to realize how much he appreciated the Irish and everything the university could offer him.
"The only real reason I took that (last) Michigan State visit was so I knew Notre Dame was the right place for me," he admits. "And that's what happened."
It finally hit him as he and his mother drove home from Michigan State that early summer morning. He recalls with a smile his relationship with the players ("they're just like me"), Denbrock's enthusiasm ("he's really what did it for me") and Kelly's embrace ("he accepted me, and that was the best part about it") making South Bend the only place for him.
"I said, 'Notre Dame? Miles, you didn't like Notre Dame,'" Felicia remembers. "When we came back from the Michigan State he said, 'I'm going to commit to Notre Dame.' Do you want to take some time to think about that? And he said, 'No, that's what I want to do.'"
A shocking decision, his mother and father agree, but one that made too much sense for Miles.
One day after the 2014 8A playoff bracket was released, Miles Boykin received a peculiar Twitter mention.
A player from Quincy, the Celtics' first-round opponent, wrote that he wanted an autograph from Boykin when the two teams squared off in six days.
It was yet another reminder that Boykin isn't a typical 18-year-old kid. That much is true because of his 6-foot-4, 220-pound frame. His 38 1/2-inch vertical and his status as one of the country's best high school wide receivers separates him, too. After Miles recorded a Providence-record five touchdowns in a Week 2 win over Minooka, Indians head coach Paul Forsythe sought him out after the handshake line and told him how special a player he was. The ever-humble receiver politely said thank you before Forsythe cut him off and repeated, "No, I really mean it."
Football has become not just a passion for the Notre Dame freshman, but his life. His mother knows the correct way to receive a handoff, thanks in large part due to Miles carrying a football around the house 24/7. When his friends were hanging out on the weekend, Miles was attending Core 6 showcases, putting his talents on display for a national audience. When his classmates were attending parties, Miles was in the weight room working with Purvin on strength and conditioning routines Notre Dame had sent him to complete.
"When you're an athlete and you have dreams such as mine you know that," he says. "You know the sacrifices you have to make not being a normal kid. But that's part of it. I wouldn't trade it for the world. I know what I want to do and I know what my goals are. It just forces you to mature a lot quicker. I'm grateful for that."
But at its core Miles is just a kid. He and fellow wide receiver Connor Creed ate hot dogs religiously before every game. He loves LeBron James, listens to Drake and plays Call of Duty. He retweets viral Vines on Twitter to his 4,000 followers, he still gets yelled at by his mom when he leaves the screen door open and ribs his father and brother, both lifelong Michigan football fans, about the 24-karat gold helmet he'll be wearing on Saturdays.
But he has also grown up. And his parents have seen it firsthand. On recruiting trips Felicia took a backseat during interviews and tours, allowing Miles to ask relevant questions and discern what was genuine interest from coaches and what was simply recruiting talk. She saw a maturing Miles in their car trips to college campuses, learning everything about her son what others had told her for years. Over the summer it was Miles coming to her with his weekly schedule, letting her know the dates he'd be working out and what books he needed to read for his upcoming classes in South Bend. His father marvels at Miles' ability to listen, to be a "technician" with his game and still appreciate that he's doing what he's loved since first seeing Bugs Bunny and Michael Jordan on the big screen.
"He does it," Felicia says. "He's responsible to know what he has to do to get to the next level."
Ask him about Providence's journey to their 10th state championship. You'll never hear the word "I" or "me." As he tearfully embraced his father in the aftermath of the victory over Cary-Grove he told him, "I can't believe we done it." Donning the No. 81 with a championship medal around his neck, like his brother had so desperately wanted to do before the concussion, Miles clutched George and told him, "We finally did it."
"I don't even want my name to be singled out," he says. "I just want them to remember us a team."
He won't get his wish. Long after Miles completes his business degree from Notre Dame and perhaps plays on Sundays, Providence will remember it all. They'll remember moving his fifth grade football "B" team to the "A" team playoffs because he was so dominant. They'll remember the team player who re-joined the varsity basketball team as a senior after doctors took the pin out of his finger, leading the Celtics to an unlikely conference championship. They'll remember the All-American wide receiver earning the Chicago Tribune Preps Player of the Year award that put him in the same sentence as past winners Jabari Parker and Jahlil Okafor. They'll remember the friendly face eager to share a smile and a hello with students he passed in the Providence Catholic hallways.
And he'll remember them, too, long after his final walk past the trophy case he helped fill.
His journey is far from finished, and as his story shifts to South Bend he's relishing the opportunity to add to his legacy. One more memory for those most important to remember him by.
"Those are the types of people they want to recruit, just winners," he says. "I can definitely help add to the winning tradition (at Notre Dame), adding another championship."
It's a moment he's no longer dreading.

Rama V (Chulalongkorn) (1868-1910) is one of the most revered of Thailand's kings. Every 23 October, the anniversary of the king's death, is a public holiday.
In Chonburi, 100 kilometres east of Bangkok, about an hour and a half's drive from Bangkok, near Pattaya, a Buffalo Racing Festival is held on that day.
The Buffalo Racing Festival takes place at the ceremony fields in front of the Chonburi City Municipality Office. There are hundreds, perhaps thousands of buffalos and people and brighly painted kids.
2018 was the 147th year, when the province expresses gratitude to the buffalos, who have been working unpaid for farmers throughout the year.

Paying Professors: Inside Google's Academic Influence Campaign
Company paid $5,000 to $400,000 for research supporting business practices that face regulatory scrutiny; a 'wish list' of topics.
Brody Mullins and
Jack Nicas
Updated July 14, 2017 9:14 am ET
Google operates a little-known program to harness the brain power of university researchers to help sway opinion and public policy, cultivating financial relationships with professors at campuses from Harvard University to the University of California, Berkeley.
Over the past decade, Google has helped finance hundreds of research papers to defend against regulatory challenges of its market dominance, paying $5,000 to $400,000 for the work, The Wall Street Journal found.

Some researchers share their papers before publication and let Google give suggestions, according to thousands of pages of emails obtained by the Journal in public-records requests of more than a dozen university professors. The professors don't always reveal Google's backing in their research, and few disclosed the financial ties in subsequent articles on the same or similar topics, the Journal found.
University of Illinois law professor Paul Heald pitched an idea on copyrights he thought would be useful to Google, and he received $18,830 to fund the work. The paper, published in 2012, didn't mention his sponsor. "Oh, wow. No, I didn't. That's really bad," he said in an interview. "That's purely oversight."

The money didn't influence his work, Mr. Heald said, and Google issued no conditions: "They said, 'If you take this $20,000 and open up a doughnut shop with it—we'll never give you any more money—but that's fine.'"
In some years, Google officials in Washington compiled wish lists of academic papers that included working titles, abstracts and budgets for each proposed paper—then they searched for willing authors, according to a former employee and a former Google lobbyist.
Google promotes the research papers to government officials, and sometimes pays travel expenses for professors to meet with congressional aides and administration officials, according to the former lobbyist. The research has been used, for instance, to deflect antitrust accusations against Google by the Federal Trade Commission in 2012, according to a letter Google attorneys sent to the FTC chairman and viewed by the Journal.
Last month, European regulators issued a $2.71 billion fine against Google for unfairly favoring its services over rivals' in its search results. Google has denied the charge.
The funding of favorable campus research to support Google's Washington, D.C.-based lobbying operation is part of a behind-the-scenes push in Silicon Valley to influence decision makers. The operation is an example of how lobbying has escaped the confines of Washington's regulated environment and is increasingly difficult to spot.
"Ever since Google was born out of Stanford's Computer Science department, we've maintained strong relations with universities and research institutes, and have always valued their independence and integrity," the company said. "We're happy to support academic researchers across computer science and policy topics, including copyright, free expression and surveillance, and to help amplify voices that support the principles of an open internet."
Google receives nearly $80 billion a year in ad sales drawn mostly from seven products that each attract more than a billion global users a month, including Gmail, YouTube and Google maps. Its search engine handles more than 90% of online searches globally, according to StatCounter; its Android software will run roughly 1.3 billion of the 1.5 billion smartphones expected to be sold this year, according to Strategy Analytics.
Through its various enterprises, Google collects information that reaches deep into daily life—recording everything from users' search history to whom they know to where they are—consumer profiles so rich that not even Google knows their full potential.
Google has paid professors whose papers, for instance, declared that the collection of consumer data was a fair exchange for its free services; that the company didn't use its market dominance to improperly steer users to Google's commercial sites or its advertisers; and that it hasn't unfairly quashed competitors. Several papers argued that Google's search engine should be allowed to link to books and other intellectual property that authors and publishers say should be paid for—a group that includes News Corp, which owns the Journal. News Corp formally complained to European regulators about Google's handling of news articles in search results.
Google has funded roughly 100 academic papers on public-policy matters since 2009, according to a Journal analysis of data compiled by the Campaign for Accountability, an advocacy group that has campaigned against Google and receives funds from Google's rivals, including Oracle Corp. Most mentioned Google's funding.
Another 100 or so research papers were written by authors with financing by think tanks or university research centers funded by Google and other tech firms, according to the data. Most of those papers didn't disclose the financial support by the companies, the Campaign for Accountability data show.
Google said in some of its funding letters that it would "appreciate receiving attribution or acknowledgment of our award in applicable university publications." There are no professional standards on such disclosures in the research papers, which are mostly published in law journals at the universities.
Money spent on the research measures in the low millions of dollars—according to the former employee and former lobbyist—a relatively small expense for the search-and-advertising giant. Some in academia say professors pay too high a price. Such corporate funding runs the risk of creating the impression "that academics are lobbyists rather than scholars," Robin Feldman, of the University of California Hastings College of the Law, said in a Harvard University law journal article she co-wrote last year.
Ms. Feldman and other critics of the funding say even disclosing money received from a company that has benefited from the research can give the appearance of a conflict of interest and undermine academic credibility.
"Yeah, the money is good but it does get in the way of objective academic research," said Daniel Crane, a University of Michigan law professor. He said he turned down Google's offers to fund his research that opposed antitrust regulation of internet search engines. "If I am reading an academic paper, and they disclose an interest with a party with an interest in the outcome," he said, "you take [the research] with a grain of salt."
Paying for favorable academic research has long been a tool of influence by U.S. corporations in food, drug and oil industries. Scandals involving conflicts of interest in medical research have spurred many medical schools, scientific researchers and journals to require disclosure of corporate funding and to prohibit corporate sponsors from meddling with findings.
The tech industry now includes the world's top five companies by market value: Apple Inc., Google parent Alphabet Inc., Microsoft Corp. , Amazon.com Inc. and Facebook Inc.

Several of the companies also are active in funding academic research. Microsoft has paid Harvard business professor Ben Edelman, the author of papers saying Google abuses its market dominance. Chip maker Qualcomm Inc. funded papers supporting its side of a fight against Google over patents. And telecommunication giants Verizon Communications Inc. and AT&T Inc. have funded various papers against Google. The companies either declined to comment or didn't respond to requests for comment.
Google's strategic recruitment of like-minded professors is one of the tech industry's most sophisticated programs, and includes funding of conferences and research by trade groups, think tanks and consulting firms, according to documents and interviews with academics and lobbyists.
Google collects in-depth data from more than a billion people, and it uses the information to personalize everything from search results to YouTube recommendations to online ads. The company's control of consumer data on such a mass scale has raised antitrust questions.
Early last year, Daniel Sokol, a University of Florida law professor, published an academic paper arguing that Google's use of the data was legal. "There is no cause for concern in this arena," he wrote. The paper also noted that no companies funded the research.
"If they did," Mr. Sokol said in a footnote of the paper, he and his co-author "would be sipping Mai Tais with our respective friends and families on a beach in Hawaii based on the proceeds of such a sponsorship. We are not."
Mr. Sokol, though, had extensive financial ties to Google, according to his emails obtained by the Journal. He was a part-time attorney at the Silicon Valley law firm of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, which has Google as a client. The 2016 paper's co-author was also a partner at the law firm, which didn't respond to requests for comment.
From at least as early as 2013, Mr. Sokol also has coordinated with Google officials to ensure online symposiums had a pro-Google bent.
In March 2013, Mr. Sokol helped Paul Shaw, a Google public-policy official, persuade law professors to write papers for an online symposium on patents. Mr. Shaw sent Mr. Sokol a list of a dozen law professors along with specific topics for their papers. None was paid to participate. Mr. Shaw deferred comment to a company spokesman.
After the conference, Mr. Sokol submitted a $5,000 invoice to Google.
In September 2013, Mr. Sokol worked with Rob Mahini, a senior Google lawyer, to plan an online conference on a separate patent issue. Mr. Mahini identified professors to participate, and he asked Mr. Sokol to invite them.
After running into difficulty persuading professors to write papers for the conference, Mr. Sokol asked Mr. Mahini if Google could provide "some 'encouragement' to them to participate," according to the emails. Mr. Sokol declined to explain what he meant. Google said it didn't pay professors to participate. Mr. Mahini didn't respond to requests for comment.
When the symposium ended, a Google assistant emailed Mr. Sokol about his bill. Mr. Sokol replied: "$5,000, like last time."
Asked for comment, Mr. Sokol wrote in an email: "For the symposia that I organized, I should have disclosed the sponsorship for such organization and have now done so. I disclose any financial support for the articles that I write."
Google and companies that make smartphones backed by its Android software have for years fought allegations of patent infringements by Oracle, Apple and Microsoft. The legal dispute has drawn academic cover on both sides.
Google sought help from Jorge Contreras, a University of Utah law professor who has also argued for a looser interpretation of U.S. patent laws.
Since 2013, Mr. Contreras has written numerous papers on patents. Google helped fund two of those papers, which each disclosed the financial support. The other papers didn't mention his relationship with Google.
Google funded a Washington, D.C., symposium in June 2015, organized by Mr. Contreras, that showcased how Google and other companies had pledged not to enforce some of their patents, allowing others to use their technology.
Around that time, Mr. Contreras forwarded his research paper on the topic to Google policy officials and lawyers: "I would also welcome your feedback and comments," he wrote in the email.
"It's in really great shape!" a Google lawyer responded. "Would be good to discuss a couple of things briefly…that are somewhat related." They set up a phone appointment, according to the email exchange.
Mr. Contreras said in an interview that he sent the paper as a courtesy because Google sponsored the conference. He said it was common among academics to ask for feedback on papers, including from officials at companies the papers discuss. "They're experts and in the trenches, and I'm writing about what these people do," he said. "So, it's good to get feedback."
A month before the symposium, Google hosted a private patent-law briefing at the Washington law office of Wilson Sonsini for several dozen influential public-policy advocates it hoped to win over. Google paid travel expenses for Mr. Contreras to speak about how companies share their intellectual property.
Mr. Contreras said Google doesn't pay professors to change their positions; it simply funds research that supports the company.
"I don't think there's any dishonesty here," he said, "but they pick the right people who they know are going to say the right thing."
Trusted allies
In 2010, Google hired Deven Desai, then a researcher in law and technology at Princeton University, to find academics to write research papers helpful to the company.
Over the next two years, Mr. Desai said, he spent more than $2 million of Google's money on conferences and research papers that paid authors $20,000 to $150,000.
University of Illinois campus in Champaign, Ill.
In September 2012, the FTC was nearing a decision on whether to charge Google with antitrust violations, including its practice of favoring its shopping and travel services in search results. Google's law firm, Wilson Sonsini, sent the FTC chairman an 8-page letter in the company's defense and attached Google-funded research papers supporting its arguments.
Mr. Desai, now a law professor at Georgia Institute of Technology after leaving Google in 2012, said part of his job was to compile a list of "all the major policy academics in intellectual property so" Google lobbyists could know whom to follow and potentially target for papers.
He said Google was careful to say the checks came with no requirements: "It was a gift. Recipients can do what they want."
Among the largest were $400,000 gifts that in 2010 went to several researchers investigating ways to improve users' online privacy.
Google and other tech companies collect personal information, including data some users would rather not share. The firms usually give notice on a privacy policies page about what is collected, and they often ask for users' consent to keep the information.
Some privacy advocates say the policies are long and confusing, and few people read them. The advocates seek instead rules limiting the use of personal data.
Ryan Calo, then a research fellow at Stanford University, received one of the $400,000 awards in 2010, though he didn't disclose the funding in one of the two papers he later published on privacy protection.
That paper suggested finding better ways to alert consumers about exposing their personal data "before we give in to calls to abandon notice as a regulatory strategy."

He said in an interview that the Google money was paid to Stanford, not to him. Nonetheless, he said, he should have disclosed the financial support in both papers. After publication, Mr. Calo kept in touch with Google and shared his papers before publication, emails show.
"I'll be following up with a draft of that paper I mentioned on how cyberlaw is changing, and look forward to any examples or thoughts," Mr. Calo wrote on Dec. 20, 2013, to Google officials about an idea he had on artificial intelligence, robotics and the law.
Betsy Masiello, a Google official at the time, was copied on the email and responded: "Also let me know if you have a draft on surveillance! =)"
Later, after seeing Mr. Calo's research on government surveillance, Dorothy Chou, a Google spokeswoman at the time, tried unsuccessfully to arrange for Mr. Calo to discuss his conclusions on National Public Radio.
"I'm really hoping NPR reaches out so you can get on air to make those points," she wrote on Jan. 21, 2014. A few days later, she wrote: "We have another producer asking to chat about government surveillance, and I wanted to let you know that we pointed her your way."
Ms. Chou declined to comment, and Ms. Masiello didn't respond to requests for comment.
Mr. Calo, who is now a professor at the University of Washington, said it was common practice to discuss research with companies involved to ensure accuracy: "If you want to have impact as a scholar, you absolutely need to solicit input from the very entities you're talking about."
Google officials, he said, "identify work that resonates with a position they have already, and then they amplify that work."
Corrections & Amplifications
Google paid travel expenses for Jorge Contreras. An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated the company also paid for his hotel. (July 11, 2017) Also, former Google employee Deven Desai said part of his job at the company was to compile a listof "all the major policy academics in intellectual property so" Google lobbyists could know whom to follow and potentially target for papers. A previous version of this article incorrectly attributed some paraphrased words from that sentence as a direct quote. (July 14)

If you are "into" gardens, flowers and the vibrant colours of tropical vegetation then you're going to enjoy this blog entry and the Chiang Mai region if you visit here. Love flowers and thinking of visiting? Then make sure you are here in early February for the Chiang Mai flower festival. I have included a link at the bottom of this page, which will give you more information thanks to Wikipedia. Looks fantastic.
Gardening doesn't seem to be a natural inclination of Thais in a home environment either through choice, financial limitations or cultural conditioning. However on a community and national level there is a much stronger display of green thumbs happening. The Royal family are keen supporters of gardens, either as separate entities or as an extension to the royal palaces dotted around the country. Palaces don't seem to be locked away here. If the family isn't in residence then they are often open to the public, not the residences but the grounds, which is great as they are often well worth visiting.
A local intersection with all its ugliness. But notice the lovely flower arrangements. Hand watered and rigorously maintained.
On a personal level my Thai partner Gaun LOVES gardens, and flowers in particular, and a trip to somewhere new with heaps of plants is always a winner with her.
This entry covers three different places we've visited during the past few weeks in our pursuit of flowers. Because of the subject it will be mainly photos although I can't help myself so I'll throw in some text too.
Named after the current Queen of Thailand these gardens were opened in 1992, so they are well established. They are located in the Mae Rim area of Chiang Mai, which is on the outskirts of the city to the North West of the city. It's a 25 minute drive from our place, so was first on our list of gardens to visit. Unfortunately it ended up being an overcast day so some of the photos look a little drab as a result.
On the way we passed this photo opportunity, which has nothing to do with gardens but it's my blog so…….
A wooden elephant outside one of the elephant camps in the hills of Chiang Mai.
The entrance to the gardens from the main road.
The gardens spread over 1,000 hectares of hilly country, and cars are allowed inside as a result. The road is a circuit with places to stop along the way. There are lots of trails marked on the map you're given when you pay the small entry fee, but we were on the hunt for flowers so didn't head out into the "bush".
Although the gardens are popular as a tourist destination the main purpose of them is as centre for education and learning based on the estimated 22,000 plant species native to Thailand. A bus service runs through the park and in this case it was full of children on a school outing.
For us the main point of interest were the greenhouses located about halfway through the circuit.
You walk past this water and flower display on the way to the greenhouse complex.
The greenhouses at Queen Sirikit Botanical Gardens. The big one straight ahead is for tropical plants. No surprises there.
Each greenhouse has a different theme based on the type of plants being grown.
One in a series of greenhouses.
More photo opportunities. A mix of greens.
Great contrast between the cool green and the vibrant pink.
Super rich tropical red creation with the background of a man-made waterfall. This is inside the tropical greenhouse.
A carnivorous plant. The insects fall inside and get trapped.
The Queen Sirikit gardens are a pleasant way to spend a half day, if just seeing the greenhouses, or a full day if doing a bit of trekking.
If using your GPS this can also be spelt Phuping Palace or Bhubhing Palace, which will confuse it no end. The official website has Bhubing so that's what I've gone with although the road signs are spelt differently.
Bhubing Palace is the winter residence of the Royal family and is located towards the top of Doi Suthep, which is a mountain/big hill overlooking Chiang Mai to the West. Doi Suthep is best known for Wat Phra That, a temple that's a very popular tourist destination and subject to a separate blog post by me here https://tonyinthailand.com/chiang-mai-doi-suthep/.
The palace is on the same road as the Wat but about another ten minutes drive further on. It is less touristy perhaps because most visitors don't have their own transport and distance is money. Also I guess gardens aren't everyone's cup of green tea and it is only rated 69 on the things to do in Chiang Mai by Trip Advisor – thank goodness.
The road up Doi Suthep is a great drive. There are lots of things to see along the way, which we mostly haven't done yet, sweeping views over Chiang Mai and lush greenery.
Chiang Mai city from the Doi Suthep road on the way to Bhubing Palace.
The commoners entrance to Bhubing Palace.
The palace buildings are very modest by "royal" standards and are scattered throughout the site, so it's hard to know what's what. However it is the gardens which are the main attraction and these are just lovely and well worth a visit. Entry is 50 THB – $1.70 – for a non-resident and 20 THB for a resident. You can hire headphones that will provide commentary at marked spots along the way for 100 THB – $3.50 – or hire a guide and golf cart for 300 THB if you are lazy.
Paths take one on a journey through the gardens.
An extensive use of roses here to give flowering in winter. January is the best time to visit evidently.
The roses are laid out in separate rows each with their name displayed at the beginning of the row, which is a great idea for choosing varieties that might fit into one's own garden.
Make sure you don't miss the greenhouse display, which is well stocked with colour. Being a Royal estate everything is meticulously maintained. Staff everywhere working on the gardens.
Can't get enough of these displays.
Outside the gardens are split into different sections. There are the rose gardens, a fern/forest path, walled terraces, lawns and a lake. Something for everyone except coffee drinkers. Give the cafe a miss as it is very ordinary.
Nice detail in the lamp posts. Unfortunately the gardens close at 3.00 pm so the night-time effect is for royalty only.
Hmmm – no comment comes to mind ATM.
A sort of artistic photo. Pots can be bought for next to nothing in Thailand. This is in the fern area of the gardens as you can tell.
Nature fighting back. This creeper will overwhelm the telecommunication tower given the chance.
The water feature. The fountains are timed to work in coordination with music that is piped around the edge. A guest house on the hill at the back. Book me in.
Examining the iPad result of a photo I took for this Thai group. Spreading Aussie friendliness.
With my long-time friends Andy and Gina.
The path leading to the small cafe area of Bhubing Palace. The lake is on the right.
Great hand carving on this piece of timber.
This large group was trying to make a circle around the tree. They didn't meet up!
The front of that guest house on the hill overlooking the lake. It's called Eucalyptus One. Built using hardwood to test it's application in houses here. A golf cart doing the tourist circuit.
Now that's one good looking gazebo. Love the glass roof and the ability to close it up in winter, which is a useful feature as it is cool here at night and early morning.
This bamboo is 97 years old. You can see from the size of my friend Andy standing at the bottom that this is some serious growth.
A happy couple photo, well I'm happy anyway.
Wonderful headgear available to help Thais cope with the low temperatures. Can get down to the low 20's during the day although it seems to average around 28. The bloke at the back is obviously feeling the cold. What was he thinking dressing like that!
When leaving Bhubing Palace make sure you visit the small group of shops just outside the entrance. There are some good buys here and excellent small gifts to take back home. Some of you may experience the truth of my words when I visit in March 2014!
Local markets either side of the road leading out of the Palace. Tight fit with the car.
A picture can say it all. You may be required to pay for public toilets here. It usually means they are cleaned regularly so that's a plus. Most are Western design you'll be pleased to hear. $0.18 to use – box on the right.
We were driving home one afternoon when I saw a sign for the Chiang Mai Rose Growers annual exhibition. As we were passing JJ Markets, where it was being held we stopped off for a look.
The Chiang Mai Rose exhibition at JJ Markets.
One of the wonderful benefits of being retired and living here that there is plenty of time to stop and explore anything you see that might be of interest and there's plenty of that. So different from passing through somewhere on a tight holiday schedule where you usually select from the top ten on Trip Advisor and miss out on the rest.
Yes, those are real roses.
This exhibition wasn't anything extensive but it provided some photo opportunities and also introduced us to a small nicely laid out shopping centre that is worth visiting in its own right.
A thorn among the roses.
Not bad. The roses are nice too.
Outside the formal exhibition and across the road was a good variety of roses on sale for not much. It's a little frustrating to be only renting here and not be able to fully dive into the rich variety of plants available. I can't wait to have a garden again once I build in Isaan.
Available for purchase from $1.30 a plant.
Just to finish the story on a related subject. JJ Markets is adjacent to what must be the main plant nursery district of Chiang Mai. This area covers several blocks behind Tesco Lotus on the super highway just after the Ping River bridge to the North of Chiang Mai city (am only showing off my local knowledge and probably impressing no one).
We bought some of these for our garden. A bit over $4.00 each.
Selecting some more plants for the garden. These are all mostly $0.35 each.
So there you have our experience of gardens in Chiang Mai so far. We already have another great looking place to wander around next week complete with a small zoo, paddle boats, bicycles, topiary and restaurant so I will report back on that soon.
Sorry to be slow responding. We have been away. Thanks for the comment and suggestion. I will make up a map of the places referred to on the blog and post that soon.
Good to hear from another garden lover.

S. Africa Gives Cuba $31 Million Economic Aid
September 27, 2014 Secret
South Africa has agreed to give Cuba a multi-million dollar economic assistance package.
The $31 million deal will be delivered to Cuba in three installments.
The first payment will be ($3.57 million) to purchase seeds for Cuban agriculture. The second installment (of $8.93 million) is slated for buying goods from South Africa. The final allotment will be a ($18.75 million) line of credit.
Opposition lawmakers have opposed the deal. One South African lawmaker, Geordin Hill-Lewis, called the deal a "giveaway" and a "misuse of public money." He said "it is a tragic irony that South Africa is helping to fund a regime that denies its citizens the same democratic freedoms that were so hard won" in South Africa.
South African President Jacob Zuma pledged the money to Cuba in 2010, but its implementation was delayed for several years.
The deal was signed Friday by South African Minister of Trade and Industry Rob Davies and the Cuban ambassador to South Africa Carlos Fernandez de Cossio.

Head coach David Ripley said that he was proud of the way that the Steelbacks responded to their heavy defeat in Durham with a determined performance at Headingley.
As they had at the Riverside 24 hours earlier, the Steelbacks came up against one of the form teams in the Vitality Blast North Group, with the Vikings coming into the game in hot pursuit of a place in the competition's knockout stages.
And the home pace attack showed their confidence in restricting the Steelbacks' run rate in the opening half of their innings, David Willey, Jack Brooks, Steve Patterson and Jordan Thompson all bowling tidily to hold the visitors to 35-2 after seven overs.
A late burst, including a 41 from debutant Charlie Thurston, gave the Steelbacks some semblance of hope with 129-7, and when Richard Gleeson had opener Adam Lyth caught behind after just two balls a fightback flickered into life.
However the Yorkshire top order had plenty of firepower, including England men Willey and Jonny Bairstow, along with New Zealand star Kane Williamson, and it was the Kiwi whose unbeaten 52 off 44 balls steered his team home with eight balls to spare.
While the Steelbacks did fall to defeat Ripley said that the team can feel positive about their improved showing, especially in how they managed to stay on top of the dangerous Yorkshire batting lineup.
"Ultimately, we went down again," said Ripley. "But the changing room feels a better place when you've fought hard. It needed a world-class player for Yorkshire to get them home.
"We scrapped really hard.
"You look back at the game, and we should have got 10-15 more runs. We just needed to find a way of getting to 140. That may have been enough. I'm proud of our performance tonight."

I've got two interviews next week for internships. WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Also make sure you write a few answers out already like "Why I want to work here", "What I can do for this business…etc" Smile is important and a firm handshake. Eye contact is essential. If you aren't good at that then here's a little trick: look at the space between his eyebrows if you can't manage direct eye contact.
If you can afford it, get a suit that is custom fit (it isn't TOO expensive if you go to Joseph A. Bank or somewhere like that, but still puts you back $500-$1000 for the pants, jacket, shirt, tie, shoes, so I can see if you don't want to spend that much on an internship interview, but if you're done growing (both and height and in weight) for the next few years, now might be a good time to invest in something decent that you can use for 5-10 years.
you gotta go full suit too, jacket and power tie included.
edit: i wore jeans, vans and v-neck to the interview for my current job. and a polo and khakis for my best buy job i had for like 3 weeks.
Prior to switching majors, my GPA was like 2.9. After changing my major, my GPA's have been 3.5-3.8 each semester. Is there a way to note this on my resume? Because as a result of my previous major, my GPA is still only at like a 3.2, when if I'd been in this new major all 3 years I'd be sitting at at least a 3.5.
I know people sometimes put "Major GPA" on their resume, but that's not necessarily what I'm looking for because that only encompasses certain classes.
GPA really isn't important to list on an undergrad resume if you have experience already. I have heard it said it's only worth it to show a 3.5+ cumulative GPA, unless your potential employer asks for it.
To answer the original post's question, certainly a suit and tie. I suggest bringing a notebook as well, always helps when you show off some studious note-taking during interview, when you're on the attack asking questions anyway.

"Caught In A Ham" Is The SPIDER-VERSE Prequel You Never Knew You Needed
by Todd Gilchrist
Feb 27 2019 • 11:46 AM
Just two days after completing its triumphant awards-season run with a Best Animated Feature win at the 91st Academy Awards, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse arrived on digital platforms with a couple of universes' worth of bonus materials showcasing its many technical and artistic achievements.
But those who simply cannot get enough of its web-headed heroes have a brand new short film to look forward to: "Spider-Ham: Caught In A Ham," which details the events leading up to Peter Porker's involvement in Miles Morales' superhero origin story.
Unlike the feature film directed by Bob Perschetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman, which not only breaks down the history and mythology of Spider-Man but the literal design of comic book characters who are translated from page to screen, "Caught In A Ham" is a marginally more straightforward affair, at least stylistically. Taking inspiration from classic Looney Tunes cartoons like "Duck Amuck," director Miguel Jiron shuffles the animated hero through a thoroughly 2D adventure where he faces off against Dr. Crawdaddy before encountering a persistent and mischievous portal that sucks him into Miles Morales' universe.
At a press day last week for the home video release of Spider-Verse, Jiron explained the positively, deliberately ridiculous origins of the character. "Many people who saw Spider-Verse thought we took this character from a great 'Simpsons' joke, Spider-Pig, which, fair enough," he said. "But the truth is actually far weirder. Spider-Ham is 36 years old, he was created quite literally as a joke by writer Tom DeFalco, which was then born into reality with artist Mark Armstrong in 1983. Marvel tried something new in launching a talking funny animal comics line with Marvel Tails #1. To everyone's surprise, he became popular enough to warrant his own comic book – Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham." "These comics are weird, and great," Jiron continued. "Peter was actually a spider who got bit by a radioactive pig who then retained his own spider powers to fight crime. That's all to say, it is totally okay for him to be eating hot dogs." In the short film, Peter is kept from his lunch by Crawdaddy, a crustacean adversary whose clutches he escapes, but not before helping him brainstorm a better name. But their battle proves to be a prelude to greater dangers after Spider-Ham first discovers the literal edges of his universe–a computer's browser window where an unseen animator diligently pushes him around with the cursor–and then unwittingly gets nabbed by a handsy portal that pulls him into the world of Spider-Verse.
"We really wanted our short to connect to the main movie and sneakily make a backdoor prequel of sorts showing Ham's last days before we see him in the movie," Jiron said. "The plan was for our short to play in front of the movie in 'Alternate Universe' mode, which is a feature on the Blu-ray that features deleted scenes cut into the movie."
The short offered Jiron, producer David Schulenburg and their filmmaking team multiple opportunities to further deconstruct not just the comic book origins of the character but the shifting narratives, mythologies and even realities of this character's cartoon existence. "We thought it would be so much fun to see his last moments," said Jiron. "So when he says, 'I hope I haven't missed the first 62 minutes [of another movie],' he truly does arrive 62 minutes into Spider-Verse–trust me, we counted." But in spite of its nonstop puns and barrage of metatextual jokes, Jiron indicated that they snuck in a few little details that underline character traits and actually give Spider-Ham's superhero travails some emotional resonance, for Miles and for himself. "It was an opportunity to show Ham's hammer in action, and then show how important it is for him to make his eventual gifting of the hammer to Miles even more meaningful," Jiron said. "We took great pains to make sure the portal looked as close as it does to [the] film as possible so there's this wonderful kind of symmetry to all our Spider-Heroes. And of course, if he's eating a hot dog at the end of Spider-Verse, it makes sense for us to establish this want in our short–creating a strong closure arc for Ham, especially when you see it in Alt-Universe mode." Into the Spider-Verse is available now on digital platforms in both its original theatrical and Alternate Universe modes. If you don't have time to watch them together, "Caught In a Ham" is available as a bonus feature. The film will be released on Blu-ray March 19 and is coming back to theaters for a limited time this weekend.

Tenderness in the heel, a tingling sensation, or limping, are among the symptoms of plantar fasciitis. This condition develops as a result of the plantar fascia becoming torn, which may often be due to excessive strain the foot endures during physical activity. When this band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot becomes injured, patients will most likely feel intense heel pain. It's important to have a proper diagnosis performed, and this may be accomplished by undergoing an MRI in addition to a physical examination. There are many treatment options available, and it's suggested to schedule a consultation with a podiatrist who can choose the best one for you.
