JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesia’s Lion Air plans to meet Boeing Co on Nov. 30 to review the airline’s orders for Boeing 737 MAX series planes in the period until 2035, Lion Air’s director of safety and security Daniel Putut said on Thursday. |
Lion Air, one of Boeing’s largest customers globally, announced in April a firm order to buy 50 Boeing 737 MAX 10 narrowbody jets with a list price of $6.24 billion. Its overall pipeline of orders is for 261 MAX series planes in the period until 2035, Putut told reporters. |
Indonesia’s transport and safety committee is due to announce next week the preliminary results of an investigation into the crash of a Lion Air Boeing 737 MAX jet that slammed into the sea on Oct. 29 just minutes after taking off, killing all 189 on board. |
Google has acquired PostRank, a company whose hosted software measures user engagement with topics, brands, authors and content across social media sites. |
PostRank's analytics data is used by publishers and advertisers to determine, respectively, the popularity of content and the effectiveness of marketing campaigns. |
"We're proud of what we've accomplished, and we now look forward to working with Google's team to build more useful tools for measuring engagement online, and we'll be sure to share details on our progress in the coming months," reads a message posted on PostRank's home page on Friday. |
Analytics tools are crucial for online advertisers and Web publishers because they capture and slice and dice a constant stream of usage data that provides insight about how their content and ads are performing in a way that offline media can't. |
For a company like Google, which generates most of its revenue from advertising, offering analytics tools to its customers is essential to its business. With the skyrocketing popularity of social media, a lot of relevant "conversations" about brands and content happen in sites like Twitter and Facebook, and in discussi... |
PostRank products are designed to monitor and aggregate social media data relevant to publishers and advertisers. Google didn't immediately respond to a request for comment, but it's very likely that the PostRank technology will be used to extend the functionality of Google Analytics. |
The terms of the deal weren't disclosed. Founded in 2007 as AideRSS, PostRank is based in Waterloo, Ontario, but the staff will move to Google's headquarters in Mountain View, California. |

Claire Wasserman, the founder of Ladies Get Paid. |
Seven months ago, without a plan, Claire Wasserman quit her $90,000-a-year job. That was not an unusual move for the 30-year-old, who has also worked as a marketer and producer. "I'm every parent's worst nightmare," Wasserman says. "I get the itch every 10 months and I start plotting my next move." |
This time, her next move was to become an activist. She founded the career development initiative Ladies Get Paid, which helps "women recognize and advocate for their value." |
Women still earn 80 cents on the dollar, according to a 2015 report from the Institute for Women's Policy Research. For women of color, the gap widens even further: In 2015, Hispanic women and Latinas received 54 percent of what white men got, according to a study by The American Association of University Women. |
Ladies Get Paid is rolling out town halls all over the U.S., including San Francisco, Chicago and Los Angeles. Across the world, more than 3,000 women have become a part of the conversation. |
Part of the group's mission is to help women navigate career transitions, a fitting goal for a founder who has never hesitated to leave a job when she gets the "itch." Her intent is to make room for what's next. |
"I'm always a little perplexed when people talk about their five-year plan because it seems people are not open to opportunity," Wasserman says. |
If you too want to seize an opportunity to try something new, here's what the entrepreneur recommends. |
When Wasserman was a senior in college, she got a tattoo. Her logic? "If someone doesn't hire me because of a tattoo, it's not the place for me," she says. |
In order to be free in her career, Wasserman realized, she had to send a clear message to the world about who she was and attract the right kind of gigs. If a job couldn't handle her having a mark, it probably wasn't the right fit for her anyway. |
This is why before thinking of job titles, she encourages women to think about their personalities and the kind of environments they thrive in. |
"Because if you're not a morning person, or wearing a suit, it doesn't really matter what you're doing for a living, it's lifestyle," she says. |
When deciding what career she wanted to pursue as an adult, Wasserman realized she wanted to be close to money. That led her to advertising. She recommends other professionals follow the same process: Think about what kind of lifestyle you want and then create or find a position that fits. |
Because Wasserman's career has never been focused on building her resume, she established early on what to do when boredom sets in: Move on to the next thing. The reason she can afford not to worry about the role she takes on next is because, instead of filling someone's job, she often creates her own. |
"I never ever put a title on what I do," she says. "I like to be an ice sculpture where you're whittling it down and an image begins to emerge." |
Successful entrepreneurs like Apple CEO Tim Cook and Tony Hawk suggest chasing your passion to find a suitable career. But for Wasserman, the word "passion" has lost its luster. |
"The word 'passion' is really abused," she says. Instead, she suggests, "Follow your curiosity. You will be good at it, you will work very hard and the money will come." |
When pursuing a career out of passion, money is not always guaranteed. But curiosity functions differently. If you get a position in a field you're deeply interested in, the entrepreneur believes you will work hard to make the job work for you. |
Some people see money as a sign of success. For the founder of Ladies Get Paid, the goal is not to earn the most money but to strike a balance between what you make and what you shell out. |
"Having a bigger paycheck means nothing if you're overspending," she says. |
While the fear of running out money when you leave your job is real, there are ways to cut down on spending if you really want a position that happens to pay a little less. Wasserman recommends you ask yourself two questions: "1. Where can you get creative?" and "2. What can you sacrifice?" |

Technology used by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and regulatory decisions have shaped the Internet in ways that create nuanced divisions in what people can access. According to a paper out Monday from The New America Foundation, the dangers of current evolution of the Internet are that the World Wide Web becomes se... |
It argues that issues such as packet blocking, different access technologies, broadband caps and cost all can widen the digital divide even if two areas have the FCC-sanctioned definition of broadband as offering 4 Mbps or more. For example, my uncapped 14 Mbps down cable connection for $45 delivers a much different ex... |
Metcalfe’s law assumes that a new network participant gains the benefits gleaned from other members. As we’re seeing today, however, command-and-control networks sustained by business models based on an all-powerful network operator are bleeding off these networks’ exponential benefits. Whereas such companies stand to ... |
The New American report looks at Wi-Fi and other technologies to set up local networks. It also goes into the role that devices that are controlled by OS manufacturers or hardware makers play in this lessening of both freedom and the widening of a digital divide between the web someone experiences on an Android (s goog... |
Funny: GigaOm seems to be censoring comments in this thread, even though it (and New America) claim to be in favor of “network neutrality.” Hypocrisy! |
Would that be the same New America Foundation that is chaired by the Executive Chairman of Google, who made a $1M donation to the “non partisan” think tank at the time of his appointment? |
I read the New America Foundation paper. I find it articulate but I think the issues they cite, while there, is not so serious as they present. I could go paragraph by paragraph, but I’ll be brief. |
To the main theme of different broadband experiences among users, I’d suggest our most valuable, informative, and essential internet communication is done at the lowest bit rates. Voice, e-mail, messaging. Then comes web pages; as the paper cites, there will be differences depending on connection speed. It’s possible t... |
Are ISPs really focussed on “locking down every aspect of their networks?” Yes, my iPhone is an “appliance” rather than a “progammable computer” — to my relief. |
I am astounded by the claim that the current FCC is treating spectrum reform “with hostility.” The New America Foundation is a member of the Public Interest Spectrum Coalition, which filed a reasonable set of comments in the FCC’s proceeding on dynamic spectrum access. The reforms the FCC is talking about in that proce... |
They suggest OpenBTS as an alternative, but I’d suggest it would be underpowered in most US markets. Maybe for rural areas, for which it was intended. |
I may comment further. I thank them for a thought-provoking paper, and you for your column. |
“Hamilton” just opened on the West End, and it’s impossible to get your hands on a ticket. Literally impossible, because ticketing for the show has gone entirely paperless — and producers are praising the move as the most effective way to cut out price-gouging scalpers and bots. |
But the strategy won’t hit Broadway. At least not yet: It’s illegal in New York state for a live event’s ticketing to go entirely paperless, and the issue has left producers, ticket sellers, resellers and legislators deadlocked. |
theater with an ID and the credit card they used for purchase. Entry is, essentially, tied to the identity of the ticket buyer. There are upsides and downsides to that, according to the arguments on either side of the issue. |
Those in favor contend that because paperless tickets are so much harder to resell, it’s a major roadblock for scalpers and for bots, the software that allows third-party resellers to snap up high-demand tickets far more quickly than individual fans can. |
The recently opened London incarnation of “Hamilton” seems to offer proof that paperless works on that front. According to those involved in the West End production, there are no “Hamilton” tickets for sale on three of four principal unauthorized online secondary ticketing sites (like Viagogo), and many of those availa... |
That’s good news for both the show’s producers and primary ticket sellers, who are holding on to the money that would otherwise go to scalpers, and for fans, who aren’t battling bots for ticket access. |
But opponents argue that paperless also limits consumer choice, curtailing the ease with which buyers can, for instance, give tickets as a gift or resell tickets for an event that they’re unable to attend. |
“We’ve found that the way paperless is normally implemented is not friendly to buyers being able to transfer their tickets,” said Jeff Poirier, the general manager of music, theater and performing arts at StubHub, which has lobbied legislators on the issue. |
StubHub, of course, has a vested interest in the discussion, since nontransferable tickets could shrink the resale market that’s the basis of the company’s business model. On the other side of the fence, Ticketmaster and other primary ticket sellers (which are the sole outlets for transferring paperless tickets) suppor... |
The Broadway League, the trade association of theater producers and presenters, is in favor too. “An outside interloper shouldn’t be in the mix telling the primary seller how they should be interacting with their fan base,” said Tom Ferrugia, the league’s director of governmental affairs. |
That deadlock is where things stand right now, as fans, brokers, scalpers and bots alike clamor for access to “Frozen,” “Harry Potter,” “Springsteen” and the rest of Broadway’s hottest shows. But things could change: The state’s legislation regarding live-event ticketing is due to be reevaluated in June. |
Former Orlando Police Chief Val Demings won the Democratic primary for U.S. House District 10 on Tuesday. |
Demings, Fatima Rita Fahmy, Bob Poe and Geraldine F. Thompson battled for the new District 10, which was created by redistricting, meaning there was no incumbent. |
Demings won with 57 percent of the votes. She ran for the seat in 2012, but lost to Daniel Webster, who ran in the GOP primary for District 11. |
Demings was police chief from 2007 to 2011. She will face Republican challenger Thuy Lowe, a business owner originally from Vietnam. |
Lowe told News 6 that she knows it'll be an uphill battle against Demings due to the district being heavily Democratic-leaning. |
Aisha Sharma, who will be seen alongside John Abraham and Manoj Bajpayee in Satyameva Jayate, believes it is easy for a newcomer to get slotted on the basis of looks. |
Aisha Sharma is all set to make her Bollywood debut with Satyameva Jayate. |
Model Aisha Sharma will be making her Bollywood debut with Satyameva Jayate and she says it is a conscious decision to choose roles that are “different”. |
Aisha, who will be seen alongside John Abraham and Manoj Bajpayee in her first film, believes it is easy for a newcomer to get slotted on the basis of looks. |
“When you look a certain way, it is easy for people to cast you in certain roles. Slotting does happen. I have made conscious effort to choose roles that are out of the box. I don’t have a quintessential role in Satyameva Jayate. It is a different role,” she told PTI. |
“My role in the film is not glamed-up. She is a social crusader of sorts in the film. She stands for whatever she believes in. So, in her own way she is contributing to the good of the society,” she adds. |
The film, directed by Milap Zaveri, deals with the issue of corruption and molestation and Aisha says cinema often derives inspiration from real life. |
Working with both John Abraham and Manoj Bajpayee was a great learning experience for the debutante. |
Produced by Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series Films and Nikkhil Advani’s Emmay Entertainment, the film is set for August 15 release. |
Sarah Palin is now beyond parody. |
