Cue User Data Shows Email Problem Worsening

cueIn 2008 I was griping about 2,433 unread emails in my inbox. Which is nothing. Today it’s up around 7,000, and I declared an email bankruptcy just a few months ago and started fresh. Cue, a handy mobile app for organizing and searching your online data across a variety of services, released some fascinating anonymized user data this afternoon that confirms what we all know already. We’re getting a lot more emails and reading fewer and fewer of them. The service lets users auth in to things like email, cloud storage, calendaring, etc., to deal with them all in one place. it gives them an unprecedented amount of data about users’ online activities. Here’s what the aggregate data from a random selection of Cue users tells us about email habits: - Average number of email words written per person in 2012: 41,368 (about the size of the Lord of the Flies novel) - Average messages received in 2012: 5,579 - Average messages sent in 2012: 869 CEO Daniel Gross also tells me (not included on the chart) that users are becoming much slower in responding to emails. The average response time in 2012 was 2.5 days. In 2011 it was 2.2 days, nearly a 14% increase in response time. And if you don’t get a response within 24 hours you may have to wait a while. If a message gets a response there’s a 56% chance it’ll come within an hour, and a whopping 89% likelihood it will come within 24 hours. To get the average out to 2.5 days, the remaining responses come much, much later. Tuesday is the busiest email day, although Wednesday is the most popular day for calendaring meetings. 11 am is the busiest email time of day. There’s fun data included as well. accounts for over 50% of emoticon usage. only gets 4.89%. My personal favorite rings in at just 0.21%. If a presidential nominee was mentioned last year in an email, it was “Obama” 68% of the time. Romney got just 32% of mentions. Dog were the most popular animal at 38%, cats got just 32%. And if you click on the most common swearwords, you’ll see which one is most popular. See all the data here.

Photo:President Kibaki's Sh500 million retirement home in the ...

As he exits the murky world of politics, President Kibaki?s Sh500 million retire- ment home is now ready. President Kibaki will leave State House after next year?s March 4 General Election, ending a ten-year term in office. Works on the palatial home in Mweiga, along the Nyeri ? Nyahururu highway, were completed in August this year and a contingent of the General Service Unit (GSU) has been deployed there.

?

After opening this year?s Central ASK show at Kabiruini grounds, President Kibaki toured the home and had lunch there. Since then, his children have visited the home on many occasions. The permanent home lies on a 100 acre of land, which is part of the 1,000 acres of land belonging to Sasini Mweiga Estate. Reports say President Kibaki bought the farm.

The head of the Sasini Mweiga Estate is Naushad Merali, who is his longtime friend. ?The home has a swimming pool, Jacuzzi and other modern facilities. It is ready for use,? said a source from the farm. The home has a guest house, main house and secretariat offices. There are also security houses adjacent and a canteen for the workers. Well-manicured grounds, with a capacity of over 300 guests has also been established.

The home is easily accessible with a helipad where helicopters can land and fly uniterrupted. President Kibaki currently has homes in Nairobi?s Muthaiga and Othaya. It is not clear whether he will be alternating between the homes since he will still be visiting the Othaya Kanyange home. The President has visited the home secretly more than twice in the last three years.

?This tells many people that Kibaki might not retire in Othaya after all despite having a home which is well manned by the State and which is only about 25km away. Maybe he would like to rest without regular disturbances from his people who he have represent- ed for about 40 years in Parliament,? said a leader in Othaya.

President Kibaki will next year be retiring after 50 years in active politics. Kibaki entered elective politics in 1963, winning the Doonholm constituency ? now Makadara ? in Nairobi on a Kanu ticket. He shifted to Othaya in 1974, which he has represented uninterrupted. Kibaki won the presidential election by a landslide in 2002 to become Kenya?s third president. His re-election in 2007 was disputed. The constitution bars him from con- testing in 2012 as he will have served two five-year terms.

Kibaki can expect a luxurious life in retirement that includes 38 servants paid for by the public. He will collect a Sh17 million lump sum gratuity as a goodbye token from Government. This is calculated as a sum equal to his annual salary for the two terms served as President as stipulated in the Presidential Retirements Benefits Act (2003).

He will receive at least Sh950, 000 tax-free pensions each month ? calculated as 80 per cent of the salary of the next President. The Othaya MP will be entitled to a housing allowance of Sh300,000 a month, Sh300,000 each month as electricity, water and telephone allowances; and a further Sh200,000 monthly as entertainment allowance. He will also be entitled to two four-wheel drive cars with an engine capacity of 3,400 cc and two others of his choice with an engine capacity of at least 3,000 cc.

Kibaki will also receive Sh200,000 monthly as fuel allowance. A reputable insurance company will provide him and his wife at Government expense, with full medical and hospital cover providing for local and overseas treatment. He will be provided with a fully furnished ?suitable? office and supplies.

Lying on a 100 acre piece of land, President ?s retirement home has all the amenities befitting a former head of state.

Current in Carmel ? Showing your home in its best light

IO-Decker

Functional, beautiful lighting can?t be created from a single light source. To achieve optimum lighting for your home, consider using layers of light in each room. To help you visualize this, try thinking of each light source as a layer in a cake. Each layer brings a different flavor to the cake, but they come together to make a single delicious dessert. Layering lighting works in the same way, by blending together multiple light sources to create a rich and ambient atmosphere.

The bottom layer of the lighting cake is called the ?overall? layer or ?ambient? layer. This is the foundation of the room?s lighting design. Chandeliers, ceiling fixtures and wall sconces fall into this category, and are intended to create soft illumination for everyday use. The ambient layer will determine the general brightness of the room.?Choose to lower the lights?in bedrooms and dining rooms to generate a romantic atmosphere. Or use brighter ones in the kitchen to make the room feel vibrant and energetic.

The next layer of lighting is the ?task? lighting. This bright layer illuminates specific areas or surfaces to help with activities like cooking or reading. Because task lighting is more direct,?using more of these lights?instead of ambient lighting can help you save on energy bills.

Accent lighting refers to the top layer of our lighting system. This lighting helps enhance the room and create visual interest. You can use accent lighting to illuminate art or architectural elements. Accent lights are usually adjustable so they can be used to produce a variety of styles for the room. Put the icing on the cake by implementing decorative lights. This layer doesn?t necessarily add functional light to the room; it?s mainly there to complete the look of the room. Make sure these lights are on the dim side so they don?t overpower the rest of your d?cor.

Light layering techniques are especially relevant now around the holidays. String lights and candles are the perfect third or fourth layer for your home lighting scheme. Dim the ambient lights to make your Christmas tree and decorations really shine. A fireplace can also act as a cozy lighting source. Have fun decorating and happy holidays to you all!
