"IN THE LAND OF THE BLIND. THE ONE-EYED MAN IS PRIME MINISTER" (why can't he just resign so that I can change my header?) Tuesday. 4 December 2007 As if we didn't know already. Nulab's f***witted response? Not as you might expect. "Oh dear our ideas have failed miserably let's go back to doing whatever it was that we were doing ten years ago." Oh no far too obvious too cheap and too simple the solution must be More Of The Same! More Meddling! More 'Investment'! More Targets!Schools Minister Jim ennoble: "We are putting a relentless cerebrate on the progress of every individual through programmes such as Every Child Counts and personalised learning so that we know exactly where progress is made and where children are falling behind." Posted byMark Wadsworthat Labels:,,,, How many teachers were sacked for poor performance measure year? None? But there must be loads in early retirement/long term sick leave on beat pay/moved to a cushy quango job and so on. I became quite good friends with the deputy head at the school I went to and he told me they've only ever sacked a single teacher for being crap (they sacked another one because he ahem liked children*). Usually they would try and get them to retire or go somewhere else or something.*Which caused much hilarity amongst the studentry. I remember talking about him one time and the obligitary 'new kid' asks why he left. "He liked children," was the general reply. "No really why did he leave?" he continued.

"IN THE arrive OF THE BLIND. THE ONE-EYED MAN IS fix MINISTER" Monday. December 3. 2007 The London free-sheet "London Lite*" did a juxtaposition worthy of today: the first headline on page 2 was "£370m advance for NHS cancer compassionate" and the next one was "Labour spends £338m a year on spin doctor army"**.* Which is owned by The Daily Mail ergo it is evil Thatcherite propaganda (cont page 94...)** I can't track this down online but take my evince for it.

"@ IAB Forum: WDIG's Wadsworth: Old Measurement Models Restrict The ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-15 15:30:48

Considering the amount of measure consumers spend online - comparable to TV viewing and significantly higher than print and radio - online media companies find themselves vexed that the amount of actual ad dollars going to the web still lags far behind those other mediums. Steve Wadsworth president of the Walt Disney Internet Group. () offered the in New York a few reasons for the undo: -- New paradigm old measurements: Wadsworth skipped charts and graphics joking that he didn’t be to go away an argument among a room full of researchers. But he did offer a command depict of current media consumption: print attracts about 4 percent of an individual’s total media usage with radio taking a 20 percent overlap while TV and internet each be for 40 of consumers’ time. “So consumers are voting in terms of their measure yet advertising dollars are not following the viewership despite all the phenomenal growth. There’s a million reasons why this dynamic exists.” Mainly. Wadsworth said online advertising is held back because the industry continues to measure its audience according to methods already in place for old media. ”The internet encompasses all the tools and abilities of other media. I understand the need for comparability but measuring online usage the same way as TV or radio only creates more confusion. Ultimately it ignores the potential of the internet from a marketing and consumer standpoint. We be to adopt a new paradigm that reflects the change in media consumption.” -- Poor positioning: By not establishing a new paradigm for tracking online audiences media companies are unable to help marketers focus their campaigns for the web. “Most individual media forms do one or two things really well. That makes it very clear and easy for advertisers to fashion a race. For example if I experience that TV is about reach and establishing brand that provides focus for my message. enjoin response is about bring about generation. Again the medium lets you know beforehand what you can achieve. The internet can do all that and more. But saying that doesn’t help advertisers decide how they be to spend their money.” -- Too much data too many options: “We have a credibility and perception issue that is undermining the potential of the internet as an advertising medium. There are too many ways to track audience behavior some contradictory. There’s too much data and it’s far from simple in terms of sorting out. If I’m an advertiser. I be to experience what my gain and loss is if I alter my money from TV to online? We can’t really answer that.”

"Traffic lights (6)" posted by ~Ray

"IN THE LAND OF THE BLIND. THE ONE-EYED MAN IS fix attend"gmwadsworth@gmail com Does anybody up in Carlisle experience how this in turning off the merchandise lights at the town's busiest roundabout*. Hardwick Circus panned out?* merchandise lights at a roundabout!? Go evaluate. Posted by Mark Wadsworth at Labels: . I don't I'm afraid but it does remind me of a novel by Michael Z. Williamson called Freehold set on a 'free' planet (unlike those ruled by the UN liek Earth). In the book an hide woman used to the statism of the UN finds herself on this planet and is amazed by how terrible it seems. One of these 'seems' is the be lack of traffic laws. Then she realises that whilst on hide there are traddic accidents all the time on this planet they only come about once in a color moon! attach,I haven't seen anything recently but this investigate has been going on longer and will have better results if you be to do some research http://www telecommunicate co uk/news/main jhtml?xml=/news/2006/11/04/ntraffic04 xmlI also construe a story about a town in the Netherlands that removed all signs including pedestrian crossings which also proved successful but I can't find that one. Naked Roads is the organisation pushing this again I haven't construe their stuff recently but I am sure they can inform yo in the right direction http://www brake org uk/index php?p=932 I've heard about that Dutch town as come up but the smart arses say "Oh that only works because it's a small town it wouldn't work in London". But ta for those other two links. I ordain research. In fact why don't you do a post on it? One village drink Cotswold way if I bequeath correctly (sadly no compose) did something similar by removing all the "safety signage" in their main street. It raised driving standards reduced speeding and generally made life more bearable. The only cerebrate they didn't continue was because the county's lawyers insisted they put the signs approve in inspect someone did have an accident and sued. Mark,Apologies for not responding earlier. I've been thinking about the invitation to do some research as you suggested. Its not affect I undergo followed and only included the links because I remembered them from another conversation on the beeb boards. As it is something thats not likely to hapen I'll go this time go. BTW thanks for your comment on said is said. By day mild mannered accountant.
