10 takeaways from 3XE Mobile & Data Marketing Conference, Dublin 2016
Share this article on Twitter LinkedIn
By Continuum
Coman has 20 years of Marketing & Digital experience. Within Continuum he partners with clients to develop and realise online strategies focused on delivering outstanding commercial success.
I recently attended the 3XE Digital Mobile & Data Marketing Conference at Croke Park in Dublin (27th January 2016) and I wanted to share some of my key takeaways. There were other speakers and other points made, but these ones resonated with me:
It was a mobile conference so it is no surprise that the key thrust of the day was that mobile was THE growth space for digital marketing. Setting aside all the stats that support that proposition, Gareth Dunlop put it best by referring to mobile as our 6th sense, and by recognising that as digital marketers it is up to us to live up the challenge inherent in that insight. In fact Gareth ("Improving Mobile Experience with Contextual Data") helped us recognise that, by pay attention to our user's context, we can humanise the user experience. The data needed to make this leap needn't be "BIG" to be powerful.
Lillian Gallagher ("Data Makes Ideas Dance"), exhorts us to use data as creative fuel and suggests 3 spheres of activity where this can be so: the creative phase, the performance phase, & the marketing phase. Key to success here was staying focused on the "need-to-know" data.
Philip Byrne ("The Mobile Bible") decreed that we were in the 3rd Phase of the internet – the Social phase, powered by chains of people interacting. Success here, when it comes to telling stories, means video. In fact video came out strongly as critical across much of the conference, with Phillippe Brodeur, CEO of Overcast, later telling us that 50% of data traffic to mobile is now video. Philip Byrne offered the following advice: "Be ready to adapt, bring on specialists to deliver unique content (and some heavy lifters to deliver the rest), always provide value, fulfil a need for your audience and tailor your ideas to the platform"
Luca Lucchesi, from TSB Bank, focused on personalization ("Mobile Marketing – Challenges and Opportunities in Banking"). He shared the statistic that your customer's initial attention span is now only 8 seconds long! Personalization and real multichannel targeting is the only way around this and in turn this requires an always-on, optimized campaign approach to mobile. According to Luca people check their phones more than 150 times a day. He also made a strong case for the need for better UX when it comes to our design approach to mobile with the statistic that 40% of those that do research on mobile go on to complete their conversion on the desktop.
Brian Stephenson talked about optimizing the customer journey. He talked a lot of good sense about setting up your customer databases, experimenting with the data within, and "the power of thank you", but the thing that piqued my interest most was a brief reference to "dynamic pricing" as a thing of the future. As a former pricing wonk, this is something I must look at in more detail.
Glen Mulcahy gave us great insight into the flexibility of our mobile phones with respect to generating meaningful video content ("Transform Your Smartphone into the Ultimate Marketing Tool"). On a practical level Glen shared a host of tools and apps that we could (should) all be using. My big takeaway though, was, given the importance of video in the new landscape, I need to look for opportunities to take the approach Glen outlined with my own clients. To succeed I will need to encourage them to get beyond any hang-ups associated with (or learned as a result of) generating video content in the past.
A general video related takeaway was to ensure we had videos that made sense with the sound off … and that means subtitles!
We also had a few inspirational case studies, from Hailo (there is a Hailo cab taken every 2 seconds in Ireland … there goes another one) & Cancer Research UK (game-ification and the power of crowds), but I think Laura Conlon-McKenna from the AA delivered me a strong piece of mobile design advice with the adage "be thumb friendly".
Iris Daly from eirBusiness reminded us of the continued relevance and value of a fairly old mobile channel, SMS, by pointing out that it has a 90% click-through rate.
Jon Herman from Facebook told us that people use approximately 27 apps in a month, but that they spend 80% of their time on just 3. He further reinforced the value of video by reminding us that we only need to see an image for 13 milliseconds to recognise it. With a glimpse into the very near future he let us know that two new things to get to grips with in Facebook will be Canvas and 360 degree video (see … video, again!).

Hi,Chris, Great article and just what I was looking for as I revise my MG manuscript. Screenwriters have a lot to say on structure and I found Michael Hauge & Chris Vogler's approaches interesting. Hauge talks about 5 Turning points, but I recently read a piece by a kidlit editor who said that 3 turning points are enough. Do you think it is just how they are defining turning points or would MG actually have fewer turning points? Thanks.


Folks, not too many people get to go back stage, let alone talk to the techs that make it happen, night after night. I was very fortunate to get some coverage w/ Guitar Tech Benjamin Dmitruk who is teching for bands COLD & Egypt Central.
Specifically, he is the tech for Cold Guitarists Zach Gilbert & Drew Molleur, as well as bass player Jeremy Marshall. He is also teching for Egypt Central guitarist Jeff James. Benjain is one cool dude fo sho that really knows his job well!!
Hope you enjoy the 'behind the scenes'!

Legitimate and dubious ways Moi used to build empire
Former President Daniel arap Moi. In banking, the former president would run most of his affairs through Transnational Bank that was recently sold. PHOTO | FILE | NATION MEDIA GROUP
By JOHN KAMAU
His children would occasionally use State House letterheads as part of their correspondence with government officials as they sought favours.
Moi is also known to have used his position to expand his schools, and that is how he built Kabarak High School and Sacho High School.
Moi's empire has now been put into trusts after he was advised that this was the only way to avoid nationalisation by a future hostile regime.
Before the death of Jomo Kenyatta in 1978, then-Vice-President Daniel arap Moi was nowhere in the league of propertied oligarchs – the powerful ultra-wealthy with expansive ranches, real estate and multimillion-shilling investments in bonds and shares.
While Kenyatta-era civil servants and select politicos had used their positions to amass wealth, Moi could not count as part of the elite league that had, ironically, fronted him to replace Joseph Murumbi as Kenyatta's deputy, mainly because he was regarded as a weakling, a neophyte, and a passing cloud.
But by the time he left power on December 30, 2002, Moi was by far the richest person in the country, with his family controlling major sectors of the economy, with interests in publishing, education, real estate, hospitality, banking, agriculture, energy and transport.
CJ Koome establishes Kapsabet High Court, Iten sub-registry
Like Kamuzu Banda's Press Corporation PLC, which owned a vast number of companies and virtually controlled various sectors of the economy, Moi built his commercial empire around Kabarak Limited, a company he had registered in May 1970, with its head office registered as LR 11482 Kabarak Farm.
It was a meteoric rise to riches with secret accounts in offshore tax havens, local and foreign banks.
Kabarak Limited was Moi's first serious attempt at business, taking advantage of the Ndegwa Commission's recommendations of 1970 that allowed civil servants and politicians to own and run businesses.
With the help of his former Permanent Secretary Kenneth Matiba – a man he would later detain and break – Moi built a small transport business and was contracted to distribute beer in the Rift Valley.
Matiba had in 1968 left the government to join East Africa Breweries Limited as a management trainee before becoming the General Manager in 1970.
Archival records indicate that the Transport Licensing Board (TLB) had allowed the company to operate in Nakuru, Eldoret, Kapenguria, Narok, Kericho, Kabarnet and Nyahururu. One of his close business allies then was the populist millionaire J.M. Kariuki, who was also distributing beer and other products in the region.
It was only after Moi became president that his transport company was granted a TLB licence in March 1979 to operate nationwide.
It is this business that grew into the modern-day Siginon Freight, whose original directors were Joshua Kulei, Gideon Moi and Henry Kiplagat.
Siginon Group is one of the largest logistics company in the region today.
JOMO'S INNER CIRCLE
In terms of property, Moi had started modestly after independence.
Archival records, once again, indicate that in 1964 Moi bought 2,344 acres in Kampi ya Moto for Sh60,000; a modest acquisition compared to the patterns at the time.
During the same year, for example, his Cabinet colleague Mbiyu Koinange purchased 645 acres in Limuru for Sh497,000, while another minister, Ngala Mwendwa, bought a 932-acre coffee farm in Kahawa worth Sh240,000.
The Kampi ya Moto farm was an addition to the 40 acres donated in 1957 by the African District Council in Kabimoi, Eldama Ravine, and where Rev Paul Barnett – his long-time friend and pioneer of Africa Inland Church – had built him a three-bedroomed house opened in 1959 by colonial governor Sir Evelyn Baring.
Moi was not a member of Jomo Kenyatta's inner circle, which was mostly made up of Kiambu politicians, senior civil servants and businessmen, and most of whom did their business under the umbrella of Heri Limited, a company registered in 1974 by politicians and civil servants to do business with the government.
In his autobiography, former head of public service Jeremiah Kiereini, says: "About 20 senior civil servants and private investors got together and formed Heri Limited … by setting up this investment company, we were able to purchase shares without hesitation, because we were not involved in either the running of the businesses or the decisions made by the management."
INDIAN CONNECTION
Moi was not part of Heri Limited, which had invested in DT Dobie, which was winning tenders to supply government and military vehicles. It had the Mercedes Benz and Nissan franchise.
Instead, he did business with the likes of Shantilal Nathabhai Patel, the founder of Solai Group and who had settled in the Rift Valley in the 1930s as a farmer.
It was this early dalliance with the Patels that would later mark Moi's relationship with wealthy Indian families that would curry favour with him and help him build his business empire as they took control of government tenders.
It is thus not surprising that most of the companies that were associated with Moi had some Indian, Arab and Jewish connections – and some of these turned out to be the architects of the financial scandals that haunted the Nyayo regime.
Some of the big names that emerged during the Moi era as tenderpreneurs included Mombasa's Rashid Sajad, Naushad Merali, Ketan Somaia, and Kamlesh Pattni.
In 1975, Moi, together with Nicholas Biwott, formed Lima Limited, which was importing combine harvesters and which would later be known as FMD East Africa.
Some of company's properties were grabbed from the public. Last year, the High Court directed that some Eldoret properties earmarked for a fire station, an Administration Police camp and district hospital be repossessed from Lima.
This was one of the cases that showed how some of Moi's companies took advantage of his power to amass wealth.
For instance, in September 1988, Philip Moi used the letterhead to tell a Mombasa district officer that the family's company, Concord Holdings, had been allocated a four-acre plot in Miritini and that he should "evict" the squatters living there. "We want to develop the plot," he wrote.
In other cases, Moi would short-change his co-investors, as happened in the case of Stephen Mwangi Muriithi, the former deputy director of intelligence.
Moi and Muriithi conducted business with James Kanyotu, the head of the Special Branch, through Mokamu Limited.
ILLEGAL ALLOCATION
The trio, together with businessman Sadru Alibhai, the Golden Biscuits brand baron – and who in 1985 bought the Peugeot franchise in Kenya from Marshalls Universal PLC for Sh55 million – owned Fourways Investment, which then owned a prime building at the junction of Muindi Mbingu and Moktar Daddah streets, now known as Family Bank Towers.
Upon the detention of Muriithi after he fell out with Moi, it was alleged in court that Moi sold off and transferred some of the properties to himself.
In another case, he forcibly annexed 100 acres of land owned by his neighbour Ginger Bell.
It was alleged that after he became president, Moi coerced Bell to donate the land to Kabarak High School in 1980.
It was on this land that Moi built the school, and it was only after he left power that the Bell family decided to sue Moi over the mischief.
Moi lost the case as the Court of Appeal ordered him to compensate the family or vacate.
It was also during this period that Moi oversaw the division of several farms in Njoro and outlying areas, especially the Ngata and Kerma farms that were given to his political allies.
Archival documents indicate that Moi, together with his then-Lands assistant minister G.G. Kariuki and director of settlements P.K. Gota, were personally involved in the allocation of these farms.
Interestingly, the minister for Lands, Jackson Angaine, appears to have been left out of all this correspondence.
MAU PLUNDER
But it was taking of strategic businesses that became the hallmark of the Moi empire.
For instance, when UK-based Chloride Group wanted to sell its franchise in Kenya, it was Moi who took it up and named it Associated Batteries Manufacturers (ABM), with its core activities being collection of scrap batteries from customers, smelting, blending and refining lead for battery manufacture.
For many years, it had a monopoly, earning the Moi family a fortune.
Moi would also enter into the agriculture sector and was the first to hive huge chunks of Mau Forest, where he planted tea.
The land had ostensibly been given to him by the Narok County Council to stop people from encroaching on the forest.
It is on this land that Moi built his Kiptagich Tea Factory. He also owned the age-old Kaisugu Estate, which is managed by his son John Mark, and Theta Tea Estate in Nandi, managed by his daughter Jennifer.
ANCESTRAL LAND
The former Head of State also owned an expansive 17,000-acre ranch in Samburu known as either Eland Downs or Kabarak Farm, and which he donated to the African Wildlife Foundation started by US billionaire Russell E. Train.
After he retired, his lawyers spent nine years fighting claims from the Samburu community that this was their ancestral land and that Moi had no right to give it away. They lost the case.
Moi is also known to have used his position to expand his schools, and that is how he built Kabarak High School and Sacho High School – first as public schools before converting them to private schools.
Until the entry of Mwai Kibaki, both schools had teachers from the Teachers Service Commission.
More so, there is still controversy over how Moi got the Rift Valley Technical Institute that was built through harambee and which is now part of his empire.
In banking, the former president would run most of his affairs through Transnational Bank that was recently sold, and which never went through the scrutiny that faced other local banks.
Transnational was part of the banks that were used for dubious transactions during the Goldenberg scandal.
EMPIRE MANAGED BY TRUST
One of the Central Bank officials, the late Joseph Mumelo, told a judicial commission that he was warned against interfering with Transnational activities.
Others were Trade Bank, led by Ajay Shah, and Pan-African Bank owned by Mohammed Aslam, who was poisoned after giving crucial evidence to the commission inquiring into the February 1990 death of Dr Ouko.
Aslam was also the man who built Grand Regency Hotel before it was taken over by Kamlesh Pattni.
Through such commercial deeds, in which Moi was directly implicated in courts and in commissions of inquiry, he managed to build a powerful business portfolio and soon managed to eclipse or wash out any competitors.
What he could not buy, according to sources, he grabbed, and so did most of his political and commercial allies who found their way into boardrooms, parastatals and government, and where there was little difference between the state and the personal.
But with divisions running within the family over the Moi estate, it might be a matter of time before some of his children, who feel that Gideon was Moi's favourite, start to exercise control.

Our groups are often taken under the supervision and safety of our instructors to the local river at Glenmore beach for water rafting. They are first given a safety talk and kitted out with life jackets and safety gear. They are then guided along in one of our many inflatable rafts on the river. Often these experiences are the first for many of the children that live in rural areas which do not have access to these types of activities. Some even being once in a life time experiences for them.


Well, if you put off till now to drop by my studio for great bargains you will definitely find them – but you only have two more days to do so!

Newer: Are you Getting Ready?
Sorry to hear your husband is not well. My daughter and I took one of your classes in Edmonton and I had always hoped to see your place in Sask. as I am from that area originally. I read your reply about not going to the US to teach and I agree with you. Maybe you will consider a move to Alberta???
Hi Carol, we had a rough couple of years and my husband is stable now but it took a toll on my energy. It's time to step back and reflect for a bit. A move to Alberta is not in the future. We moved to SK from Calgary 10 years ago and once you leave Alberta it's difficult to go back. No decisions have been made as to where exactly we will end up. We are looking forward to some travel in Canada this fall and then will make a decision.
Hope you have time to stop by today. My hours are flexible but this is the last day I am open to the public.
Carol, yes the Kantha workshop in NJ in 2015… what a nice group we had with the snow flying outside the big windows. From that came an invitation to write a book on the subject. It is scheduled to come out in August this year. My travels to the US have been limited even before the appointment of the new government as there have been no invitation until one this week. One never knows – things can change fast. For now I am concentrating on selling our home and studio and since we don't know exactly where we will move and settle next the future is wide open. It feels good to have some time off from travel and teaching. Three intense years of catching planes, packing and unpacking and getting stuck in airport really tired me out.
Oh Anna, how I wish I could zip down there to see all these things, and your studio and you! I saw a news spot on the flying cars that Uber is experimenting with (Jetson's style) and that would be just the thing! I hope you have been having a good (great!) response, nonetheless. I look forward to seeing you in August!
Cindi, I wish you could come too… See you in August!
Thanks for your help in advertising for me, Judith! Yes, I hope I am busy this weekend. Nobody can blame not coming out on the weather! The sun is shining and there is no wind!
Shirley, I did have that book but it sold the first weekend which was the busiest so far. I averaged about 2 -3 people a weekend…. When I had Open Studio for one weekend a year in the past (and baked cakes for a week and gave them away for free) and nothing was for sale I had well over a hundred 130 people… such is life.
Hi Anna, I'm wondering if you are closing your studio for good? Are you moving to another home.? I wish I lived near you because I definitely would've made many trips to your studio sale. I hope you can come out my way (Virginia Beach, Va.) to teach at a Mancuso Brothers Mid-Atlantic Quilt Show usually held in February. I'm also eager to see your new book. I'm sure you're "up to your ears in alligators", but please answer my questions.. thanks, and I'm wishing you all the best.
Hi Lynne, we are selling our property and with that comes the closure of my studio, yes. We are not sure where we are going from here. We have had a very tough two years with sudden health changes for my husband. Living in the country is not advisable when one needs medical care. As to teaching in the US – that is out during the current administration due to the difficulties crossing the border. I am a Canadian citizen but was born in Germany, so will not subject myself to undue stress. And it is not really just about me and border issues – it is in support for those who are visible minorities and are forever scrutinized by border officials and have been denied entry for no apparent reason. I bowed out from a Road2Clifornia contract yesterday for 2018.
Anna I do hope many people take advantage of your wonderful studio sale this weekend. Those who have not yet journeyed there may not realize what they are missing – which is a great deal literally and figuratively!

This should be my lesson to NEVER pull a weed without gloves on my hands. If there is one weed we need to learn how to identify, it stinging nettle. OMG! But it was in my prized exhibition mini and miniflora raised bed and I don't want weeds there. Right. But then… I decided to deadhead roses.
Yes somewhere along the way a bee decided he did not like what I was doing… Enough gardening for today. I am indoors nursing my owies!
The first flush of roses is well underway here in the (finally) sunny State of Washington. It is the dry season now. Our weather has been between 55 to 70 degrees, but when the next water bill arrives you will hear me scream all across the USA!
The weather forecasters are showing a huge Arctic cold mass descending through Canada into the Northern USA this week. So cold, I can hardly believe that will happen in my garden, not more than 25 ft above sea level but very near the Sound. But zone 8b officially can get down to 10 to 20 degrees F. I just have not experienced that here, yet. Today I went into panic mode and decided that my beloved roses needed some protection, so I bought two 3.2 cubic ft. bales of Black Gold (the regional organic soil amendment) and just got in from mounding three mini/miniflora beds, four standard tree roses plus about four other roses that have only been in the ground since October. I really could have used two more bales but while everyone else was scurrying around Fred Myers with Christmas gifts, I was wrestling with putting two bales of Black Gold in my cart. We all have our priorities.

A major goal of this series on sectors is to illustrate the reality that it is a market of stocks rather than a stock market. With this article I am technically covering the Industrial Services Sector. However, all the research candidates I will be presenting come from the Oil & Gas Pipelines subsector. There is probably no better example illustrating how different companies are from each other than an examination of the unique attributes of oil and gas pipeline companies.
For starters, there are important tax considerations to be considered when investing in MLPs. These entities issue a K-1 that must be included in the investor's tax filing. This factor alone deters many investors from investing in MLPs. On the other hand, there are tax advantages associated with investing in them that are worth the aggravation of the K-1's for other investors. However, it is not the objective of this article to delve deeply into the intricacies of the tax advantages or complications of investing in MLPs. Instead, they are offered as research candidates that provide high tax-advantaged yields that I also consider attractively valued currently. Although I do feel that it is appropriate that I mention these issues in this article, I leave it up to the individual investor to do their own due diligence.
There is an additional attribute that is common to MLPs that I believe is not discussed anywhere near enough. MLPs are very capital-intensive entities that require large capital investments to maintain and grow their revenues. Consequently, they are chronic issuers of new shares necessary to raise the capital they need to grow and expand their operations. This significant dilution associated with MLPs is a primary reason why I do not think it makes sense to value them based on earnings. A deep examination will show that most MLPs have earnings-based dividend payout ratios that are very high and often multiples of their earnings.
Other unique attributes of MLPs are significant capital investments leading to large depreciation schedules and significant increases in revenues. Therefore, I will be illustrating the valuation of the 10 MLP research candidates in this article based on EBITDA multiples rather than earnings multiples. The E in EBITDA stands for earnings. However, I see this as a soft form of cash flow because it is before interest, taxes depreciation and amortization. Therefore, I would argue that EBITDA better reflects the per-share benefits to their shareholders than highly diluted and depreciated traditional earnings metrics.
In the analyze out loud video associated with this article, I will be covering these unique attributes more fully. Nevertheless, because of the complexity and nuisance of the K-1, the reality of the need to raise capital and the associated dilution, MLPs are not attractive to all investors. This is often in spite of the fact that there are very few investments that generate better cash flows and growth of those cash flows than MLPs.

I worked on Jetpack Joyride for 2 and a half years, as the lead design for new and awesome content being added into the game.
Once the original team moved on to making new titles, my team took over to both make the current game flow better than before and to add new and exciting ideas that would keep the game relevant to players and monetizing better. I worked on the game from July 2013 (Version 1.5.1) to September 2015 (Version 1.8.7)
S.A.M - The Strong Arm Machine
When creating S.A.M we wanted to add a daily reward system into the game so we could keep players engaged for longer, while giving them something really fun and completely different from every other game out there.
That result - S.A.M, the Strong Arm Machine, a massive, screen filling robot that is unique to the game. S.A.M changes the gameplay where instead of avoiding everything, you need to hit and reflect back all the missiles coming towards you with your arm. Being a massive machine, it could take more damage than any other vehicle and would collect all coins that would appear on the screen.
To use him you need to collect his special S, A and M tokens as well. S.A.M is only available once a day, as he is so powerful, but was so fun to play that players came back in droves.
By playing as S.A.M you also recieve a Daily Reward, which includes a variety of powerups and coins amounts. The more days in a row you played, the better the reward would be. By day 5 you recieved a present - a unique costume piece that is only available through the Daily Reward.
For S.A.M I created the concept for him, created the system and game loop for the daily reward system, created all new UI screens involved with the daily reward, and created the event and obstacle patterns for the gameplay.
Check out the trailer of S.A.M in action.
The Sleigh of awesome
For Christmas 2013, alongside S.A.M, we wanted to add a premium vehicle to the game, as well as something to fit the season. So why not a rocket-powered Sleigh pulled by robot Reindeer?
The Sleigh was originally only available during the Christmas season, but was so popular that it is now available year round. I created the original concept for the vehicle and its gameplay.
VEHICLE SKINS & ONE TIME OFFERS
As a way to have quick and consistant updates that players would enjoy, we created a new system for Vehicle Skins. Prior to the update, the only skins were a golden versions.
This update was quite extensive - each new skin was made in LUA scripting. I wrote a lot of the scripting for these, changing the sprite positions, textures and particles to appear at the right times. I also came up with several of the concepts used in the end.
Each of the new skins also came with a One Time Offer - players can get a complimenting costume for a bit of cash. If they don't choose to buy it then, it will go into the S.A.M Daily Challenge. For this I built the UI screens and how they were offered.
Check out the cool vehicle skins in this trailer.
Cloud Saving
One of our most requested featurs for Jetpack was cloud saving. Players who had switched from iOS to Android and vice versa were unable to take their Jetpack Joyride save with them.
We put a substantial amount of effort into making Jetpack Joyride compatible with the new Halfbrick Profile system. I worked on bringing all of the games' customization options and missions system to the cloud, designed how we would upsell players to log in, and build the LUA script for the Cloud Nine Vehicle Skin, which players unlocked instantly by making an account.
Check out the trailer we made for cloud saving.
Split Testing for player engagement and advertising
Our team built a simple but robust system to do split testing, which we used to help increase player engagement, as well as to find the best use for adding video advertisements into the game.
For player engagement, we did tests where we changed the first 10 missions of the game to be easier and more player facing, had a mission list drop down at the beginning of the game, and even added a simple tutorial into the game. Using our analytics tools, we were able to see how new players were able to engage with these new systems, and which fared better against the original versions.
We also did over 20 differet split tests for adding video advertisements into the game - finding the best points at which players would want to trade a video view for more content. We worked hard to find the best 1:1 ratios of offers to views and finding ways to do it in a fun way which didn't detract from the game exprience.
I created the concepts for the majority of these tests, built the UI screens and CRUD scripting for each of them, as well as built our Social Square visuals, which allows us to upsell items they can use or buy, offer videos for coins, or send them to a link for other promotional items.
Events for the game involved creating new modes, allowing for a new Leaderboard, new unlocks and new ways to play.
Our first event was Bling it On, a simple event which allowed us to build the backend systems to be able to turn events on and off at a whim. When players switched to Bling it On, they would be shown a new logo, a unique costume, and all vehicles would be their golden skins. While turned on, players would now see new coin patterns which included diamonds - a new currency that was worth more than normal coin pickups.
Our second event was Cut & Run - to celebrate Fruit Ninja's 5th anniversary. In this event players only have 60 seconds to collect as much fruit as possible in a frantic and fast paced mode. This was a massive change to the way the game worked, and was built for us to be able to change even more in the future.
In both cases I pitched the concept of both events, designed and created all the UI screens and popups specific to the event, created new XML files which changed the way the game functioned, and worked with our team to make them the most fun modes we could make.
Watch a trailer for Jetpack Joyride / Fruit Ninja: Cut & Run
Previous events were working up this this - an awesome collaboration between Jetpack Joyride and Back To The Future.
JJ:BTTF is a new, temporary event mode where players must collect flux capacitors to extend time, getting hit makes them lose time. Collecting vehicle pickups allows playes to use two new fantastic vehicles - The Delorean Time Machine and the Hoverboard.
While playing the mode, players will also unlock new costumes of Marty, Doc and Biff as they play, adding a new metagame layer to the mode.
I initially pitched the collaboration to the team and higher-ups, as the Back to the Future day was coming up at the end of the year (and really, I wanted a rocket powered skateboard in the game and the hoverboard seemed like a good fit)
I designed how the mode and vehicles were going to work in the game, as well as how we would sell them. Players get to use the vehicles for free during this mode, while if they want to keep them for later, they can purchase a pack and use them in the normal mode.
This was so fun to work on too. Universal were really keen on what we were doing, and Bob Gale, who wrote the BTTF films, was apparently really happy with what we came up with. Got to speak with him too!
Watch the trailer for Jetpack Joyride: Back To The Future
ZAPPY BIRD
While Zappy Bird was developed prior to the Back To The Future event, it was released as the final new mode made for Jetpack Joyride.
From the beginning Jetpack Joyride had the Profit Bird - a vehicle which you tapped in order to flap it's wings. When the sudden mobile hit Flappy Bird rose to infamy, we thought it would be fun to make Zappy Bird - taking on the Profit Bird and the game's Zappers to make a whole new mode.
Compared to the Fruit Ninja and Back To The Future modes, which have obvious crossover potential, Zappy Bird was specific for Jetpack Joyride. In this case we had a Rock Opera Music Video created by Studio Joho focused around the Profit Bird made 6 months prior but without a reason to release it. We decided to make this the reason!
The mode used the catchy tune in the music video for it's own soundtrack, and at the end of a play through it would link players to the music video.

MM&P union halls, MM&P headquarters, MM&P Plans and the MM&P Federal Credit Union are closed on Monday, Sept. 6, in honor of Labor Day.
The first Labor Day parade was held in New York City on Tuesday, Sept. 5, 1882. After that, the parade took place every year, but not always on a Monday, until a group of states and then Congress settled on the first Monday in September. "Those first parades were really protest rallies for the adoption of the 8-hour day," writes author Ted Watts. To participate in the march, workers had to give up a day's pay. Watts has written a booklet, "The First Labor Day Parade," which is available from the Illinois Labor History Society for $5.00.
Legislation pending in Congress would bring about a number of legal and regulatory improvements that would benefit MM&P members and all professional mariners. Included in the bill are provisions that would: put the medical review process for document renewal back into the hands of trained medical professionals; streamline the application approval process for the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC); facilitate access to shore leave; stop states and localities from requiring redundant background checks and duplicative security credentials; create a new workforce development program aimed at helping working mariners who don't qualify for traditional student loan programs.
The Coast Guard bill is now being negotiated in Congress. Please write your senators and representatives today to urge passage of the bill. The AFL-CIO Transportation Trades Department has prepared an extremely easy, streamlined online process that allows you to contact both your senators and your representative in just a few minutes. To send a message to Congress urging passage of this important bill, please go to http://tiny.cc/hrsgw today.
The Laborers Union of North America (LIUNA) has announced it is re-affiliating with the AFL-CIO effective Oct. 1. "Despite the historic success of the 2008 federal elections, too much is not getting done on Capitol Hill," said LIUNA President Terence O'Sullivan in an official statement. "A united union movement can better focus Congress–and particularly the U.S. Senate–on helping to lead our nation, rather than being locked in inaction."
LIUNA disaffiliated from the AFL-CIO in June 2006. At that time, the union expressed hope for an eventual reunification. It has continued to organize much of its political efforts through the AFL-CIO and has been engaged in discussions about reunification for some time.
Danish authorities have announced that the warship ESBERN SNARRE in August detained but then released a group of pirates which had attacked two cargo ships. The warship had been called to assist the Panamanian-flagged MV CARIBBEAN CARRIER after it reported being under attack. Pirates also attacked the Norwegian MV HOEGH OSLO. A military detachment from the Danish warship discovered knives and ammunition shells onboard the pirate skiffs. There was no explanation as to why the pirates had been released.
Your support is urgently needed. Please visit http://tiny.cc/nteo9 today to sign the international anti-piracy petition that will be delivered to world governments on Sept. 23. The petition, which is being promoted by a global coalition of labor unions and shipping organizations, demands stronger action from governments to stop piracy. The sponsoring group includes the International Transport Workers Federation, of which MM&P is a member, and the International Chamber of Shipping. The coalition is hoping to gather more than half a million signatures by Sept. 23, which is World Maritime Day.
The petition demands that governments "dedicate significant resources and work to find real solutions to the growing piracy problem, take immediate steps to secure the release and safe return of kidnapped seafarers to their families and work within the international community to secure a stable and peaceful future for Somalia and its people."
Professional Mariner magazine accompanied the Shaver Transportation tug WILLAMETTE on parts of a recent journey from Portland, Ore., to Almota, Wash. The result was a cover story in the magazine's July-August issue, "Towing on the Great River of the West," that featured photos of members of the MM&P United Inland Group-Pacific Maritime Region.
At the wheel of the 91-foot z-drive combination ship-assist/pushboat was Capt. Gary Setvin, who was maneuvering the WILLAMETTE and four barges on the 325-mile journey. "The wind is everything to us," Setvin told writer Brian Gauvin as the 615-foot-long unit traversed Lake Umatilla, also known as the John Day Pool. "When it blows from the west in here, it's big," Setvin said. Also aboard the WILLAMETTE at the time and photographed for the magazine article were Mate Michael Rike and deck hands Clifford Austin and Phil Jackson. Portland-based Shaver Transportation is a family-run, family-owned business which owns 10 tugs, four of them z-drives like the WILLAMETTE, and 16 grain barges.
The agency that oversees offshore drilling will investigate the fire that broke out last Thursday on an oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico. The accident took place five months after the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig that killed 11 people and caused the worst offshore oil spill in the nation's history. This time no one was killed and the Coast Guard said no crude was leaking. A spokesman for the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement, says his agency will work with the Coast Guard to investigate the fire. The oil platform is owned by Houston-based Mariner Energy Inc. All 13 crew members jumped into the water wearing immersion suits. They were rescued by helicopter and by the crew of an offshore supply vessel. The rig and platform are situated in 104 m-deep water on Vermilion Block 380 off Grand Isle in Louisiana.
Congressman Elijah Cummings has called on his colleagues in Congress to continue investigations into how much oil remains in the Gulf of Mexico following BP's catastrophic Deepwater Horizon spill. Cummings says the public needs more information about whether the remaining oil poses threats to the environment and to consumers of Gulf seafood.
Cummings has pointed out that although federal officials claim that as much as three-quarters of the oil that spilled into the Gulf has been 'cleaned up or chemically dispersed, or naturally deteriorated, evaporated or dissolved,' other media reports indicate that scientists have found extensive plumes of oil lingering below the water's surface.
Cummings wants hearings on the extent of the remaining pollution, as well as on reports that BP is requiring scientists under contract to sign confidentiality agreements that compel them to withhold their research findings from the public.
The names of congressmen and senators who have supported MM&P and the other maritime unions in the ongoing fight to protect the jobs of American maritime workers have been posted in the Members Only pages of www.bridgedeck.org. Just click on the "Who We Support" link to see a clickable state-by-state listing of the legislators who have received support in this election from the MM&P Political Contribution Fund (PCF) and the International Longshoremen's Association Committee on Political Education (COPE).
The AFL-CIO has negotiated substantial discounts for union members on rental cars. To take advantage of the discounted rates available to union members through the AFL-CIO Car Rental Program, just enter the discount codes in the appropriate spaces when reserving your car. The AFL-CIO does not advocate use of one vendor over another. It is continuing to negotiate with other car rental companies on behalf of union members and will be happy to share the cost savings with MM&P members as soon as possible. At present, the discounts are available through Dollar, Enterprise/National, Hertz and Thrifty. The discount codes are: Dollar CD – TB6391; Thrifty CD – 0010205725; Enterprise/National – XZ16076; Hertz CP-ID – 1216760.
The Los Angeles Labor Day March will be held on Monday, Sept. 6. Thousands of union members and their families attend the march every year to demonstrate their support for America's working families and our country's labor unions. As is our proud tradition, this year once again the Masters, Mates & Pilots will march shoulder to shoulder with the members of our fellow deep sea unions. All MM&P members, applicants and their families are encouraged to attend the march. The MM&P hall will be open by 0830. At 0900, we will begin the walk to the assembly area. Enjoy a fun morning with your shipmates and show your union pride! Join us as we march in Los Angeles Sept. 6 in honor of Labor Day.

A Chinese cargo ship, HUA CHI 8, sank off the coast of Zhejiang province on Friday after a collision with a French-flagged VLCC, the FLANDRE. At the time of this writing, six crewmembers aboard the Chinese ship were missing and presumed dead. Bad weather is being blamed for the accident.
CANADIAN COAST GUARD RESCUES PASSENGERS FROM ARCTIC CRUISE SHIP
Crewmembers of the Canadian Coast Guard vessel AMUNDSEN disembarked 128 tourists and 69 crewmembers on Aug. 28 from the MV CLIPPER ADVENTURER, after the ship ran aground on an uncharted rock at 67 58 N 112 40 W. No one was injured in the accident, which took place while the vessel was en route from Port Epworth to Kugluktuk.
The MEDY, a Turkish ship carrying a load of scrap metal, sank last Wednesday in the Black Sea off the coast of Romania. All 17 crew members were rescued by the Romanian Coast Guard. The ship had left the port of Constanta on Wednesday morning. A few hours later, the crew called for help, reporting that the vessel was listing. The authorities say bad weather was responsible for the accident.

Moore to win 100th cap for Australia against Scotland
The Wallabies have confirmed that Stephen Moore will captain Australia in his 100th Australia match which is against Scotland in the Rugby World Cup quarter final.
Moore could have reached his 100th cap earlier had it not been for a season-ending injury in a 2014 Test.
The ruptured ACL ruined his first game as Wallabies captain, his first long-term injury, setting back the milestone.
The Wallabies captain made his debut against Samoa in 2005 and has gone on to become the most-capped hooker in Australian international rugby.
He is the first hooker to lead Australia into a World Cup and has continued his strong form heading into the tournament.
Sunday's match will see him join the ranks of eight 100-cap Wallabies, along with returned veteran Matt Giteau.
The pair join David Campese, George Smith, Stephen Larkham, Nathan Sharpe, George Gregan and Adam Ashley-Cooper as Australia's centurions.

Be sure you can open and operate a coffee shop there. Then again, your landlord should have already qualified your business type prior to getting to the lease negotiation. If you plan to sell coffee beans you are roasting on premises, be sure you can actually roast them there. If you plan to rent a 1st floor space and there are other units or apartments above you, be sure you check with the city about use of open flames or proper venting for your roaster oven review. You may be required to run the venting through the upper units and box it in rather than up the outside of the building.
The very first step is ordering your pig. You'd be surprised at how many butcher shops have a connection to getting you a pig, just know that they won't just hand you a dead pig when you hand over the cash, instead, they will have to order and pick up the pick (probably from a farm outside of town) and then they will (or should) thoroughly clean the pig. When your pig arrives it should be hairless and of a good size. The rough rule of thumb when planning out your pig roasting is to factor in 2-3 pounds of pig per person, so let your butcher know how big of a pig you are looking for.


The Port Times Record, Times of Huntington-Northport, Times of Middle Country, Times of Smithtown, Village Beacon Record and Village Times Herald published this piece in print on July 21, 2016.
The latest trend sweeping the nation is a throwback from the 1990s with a modern-technology twist: a augmented reality Pokémon game played on smartphones, and residents of the north shore are not immune. Hundreds of kids, teenagers and adults alike took to the streets this week to interact in this new game.
This latest offering from Pokémon evolved the franchise beyond the original cards, television show and video games. Pokémon GO allows players to create an avatar, called a trainer, and walk around their neighborhoods catching various Pokémon. Players can battle one another and get free in-game items from locations chosen by the game.
The game is getting people of all ages out of their houses and into their neighborhoods. The only way to catch Pokémon is to walk around searching for them, and players have been posting on social media about how far they have traveled around their neighborhood.
One 22-year-old Greenlawn resident said she saw more than 50 kids hunting for Pokémon at parks in Northport and Huntington in one afternoon.
She said the kids really enjoyed searching different spots for Pokémon.
Gerard Anthony, an 18-year-old Northport resident agreed that Pokémon GO is a great game to play in groups.
The only way to catch Pokémon is to walk around searching for them, and similarly, the only way to get a refill of free in-game item, like pokéballs is to go to Pokéstops.
The library is busy this time of year because of its summer reading program, but Gutmann said being a Pokéstop is attracting more visitors than usual.
"The hope is, once they get in here, they'll stop and read a book or attend one of our programs," he said.
Gutman added that the library had tried its hand at augmented reality a while ago, implementing the technology in its newsletter. It abandoned the effort because it was not getting enough use at the time, but now that Pokémon GO is increasing the popularity of augmented reality, he said the library may revisit the project.
"There are lots of opportunities to use the technology beyond the game," he said.
Port Jefferson's Main Street is also a huge attraction for players. With a multitude of Pokéstops and gyms, the promise of Port Jefferson tempted Chris Aguilar, 23, to travel from Riverhead two days in a row.
Aguilar said there were so many people in the streets on the first night he was in the area, July 13, that mobs of trainers were crossing the streets. They did not begin to clear out until about 2:30 a.m.
"This game is bringing people together in an unprecedented way," he said. "It's like an age gap doesn't exist between players," who can speak to each other on almost an equal level about the game and trade tips.
Other local hotspots to catch Pokémon include Heritage Park in Mount Sinai and Sylvan Ave. Park in Miller Place.
Just two days after the game's release, players were spending an average of 43 minutes and 23 seconds per day playing Pokémon GO, a higher rate than popular apps including Instagram, Snapchat and Whatsapp.
According to SimilarWeb, an information technology company that tracks web analytics, Pokémon GO has so many daily active users that it is projected to soon have more users than Twitter.
But some people are concerned about the safety risks associated with Pokémon GO.
Pedestrians are now wandering around towns, with their eyes faced down at their smartphones. Law enforcement agencies, institutions of higher education and public transportation systems have spoken of the dangers of walking around consumed by a smartphone.
Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) held a press conference Tuesday to remind residents to exercise caution while playing.
"The safety and well-being of our residents, especially children, is our highest priority," he said in a statement.
Suffolk County Police Commissioner Tim Sini echoed his sentiments at the event.
Stony Brook University also contributed to the conversation, reminding students to watch where they are walking while playing.
Mark Szkolnicki, a student of the university, said that he is always careful.
Stony Brook Office for Marine Sciences Secretary Christina Fink agreed. She said it is important to keep in mind that if players are going hunting for Pokémon at night, they should go with at least one other person.

Meltser: Rockets "Don't Really Want D'Antoni Back"
By offering Mike D'Antoni "a lousy deal," the Rockets showed just how little they value their head coach
Mike D'Antoni will coach the Houston Rockets next season. Beyond that, however, is anyone's guess, as contract-extension talks between D'Antoni and the Rockets ended Thursday.
"They don't really want Mike D'Antoni back, but they're not really willing to fire him," Houston radio host Mike Meltser said on Ferrall on the Bench. "They offered him $4 million with incentives. This reminds me of when the Yankees offered Joe Torre that bizarre contract extension where they're like, 'Hey, we're going to give you a bunch of incentives if you reach and win the World Series.' Everyone is like, 'What the hell? This guy has won four World Series. He's obviously trying to win anyway.'"
You could say the same about D'Antoni, a two-time NBA Coach of the Year who almost always has his team in the mix.
"Nobody is more incentivized to win than Mike D'Antoni, and the deal they offered Mike D'Antoni just seemed like a lousy deal," Meltser said. "They weren't really giving him much of a raise, it was very incentive-based, and it wasn't really the going rate for a coach of his quality. The problem is even if you want to fire Mike, there's no obvious upgrade for them given that they want to win a championship, and there's not a coach out there who you look at and say, 'That guy is a clear upgrade over Mike D'Antoni."
As for Daryl Morey's reported willingness to trade anyone on the roster, Meltser isn't buying it.
"They're not trading James Harden," he said. "There's a better chance they trade Tilman Fertitta, the owner, than they trade James Harden. Would I be willing to trade Clint Capela? Sure but I'm worried about selling low on a guy. Yes, Clint has been bad against Golden State, but this is a 25-year-old center who's getting paid good money – but not great money – who's a perfect fit with James Harden. (He's) athletic, he's young, he runs up and down the court, and he can play good defense. If I'm trading a guy like Clint Capela, I got to make sure I'm getting an asset back – a younger player who can really help me out. If I'm any team in the NBA who's looking to build, I would absolutely love to add a guy like Clint Capela."
