Jamaica-New $5000 bill

5000-dollar-note bill On Monday the Governor of the Bank of Jamaica, Derrick Latibeaudiere; launched the countries highest bank not.

The bank announced last week that the new high security jamaican $5000 note will be put into circulation in September 2009.

Following moderate speculation about the importance of its introduction at this time, Governor Derrick Latibeaudiere said the note was necessary as there was a need to re-balance the denominational structure of the bank-notes in circulation.

"The Internationally accepted principal is that the highest value denomination should not account for more than 60% of the total value of the notes in circulation. Jamaica had exceeded this limit for some time and had therefore taken the decision to introduce the new note,

"At March 2009 Jamaica's highest value bank note, the one thousand, accounted for 76.65% of the total value of notes in circulation or 16.65% above the recommended international standard," said Mr. Latibeaudiere.

He explained that the likeness of late former Prime Minister Hugh Shearer was chosen for the note mainly because local coins and bank notes only bear images of national heroes and deceased prime ministers.

The note has several other high quality security features including the image of the Jamaican nightingale in the background, and a metallic thread running vertically.

The Jamaican coat of arms is visible in silver set against a backdrop of an aerial view of Highway 2000.

Frangipani blossoms complete the images on the $5,000 note.

Optimized Site Vs. Search Friendly Site


Everyone wants both an optimized website and a search friendly website, but it seems that most sites lean either one way or the other. What comes first - optimization or search friendliness? In this video, Chris Boggs of Rosetta (formerly Brulant) explains how realizing that there is a difference between optimizing a site and making it search friendly is the main problem behind the misunderstanding of this topic.

“It’s easy to optimize the site, but you have to make it search friendly - big difference.”

Making your website search friendly is actually the first step. Your url needs to be search friendly. If you are a marketer, you need to work closely with the IT department on joint goals and strategies.

Secondly, work on optimization. Remember that optimization is an ongoing process and it usually takes a lot of time and money. As you add content to your site, you will need to continue to optimize each entry or item that you add.

If you really are trying to successfully optimize your site and are spending a lot of money and time, you also need to have unique content. Good content is essential because you want your customer to be able to take action easily. If your optimization and search friendly efforts pay off and you get people to your site, you want your content to be good enough to keep them there.

How many websites do you visit each day? Do you even have an accurate number or is it more than you could count? A recent Nielsen study unveiled the average Internet user in the US views 115 different websites each day. Oddly enough, many of us view even more websites than that on a daily basis.

Anyone getting swamped with traffic from Baidu?
By: Sky Captain

The stats on one of my sites show 8 gigs of downloads this month for a handful of MP3s we host. These are not even music, but excerpts from a Q&A after a documentary screening.

The downloads are coming from Baidu, a Chinese search engine. I plan on blocking the site or at least moving the MP3 files, but I'm wondering why it's happening at all.

Being listed in searches is one thing, but 3000 downloads? This has to be robots -- I don't see why that many actual Chinese speaking people would be interested in listening to a couple independent filmmakers talk about American subway trains. I'm just surprised that the robots actually download the files that much, instead of just pinging them.

Men Want It Fast, Women Want It All
Thursday, April 30, 2009

The following is based on research, not sexism or prejudice of any kind. Conclusions are by nature overly general, and there are many exceptions to the following "rules" of masculine and feminine behavior. Quite simply, there really are general and stark differences in the behaviors men and women, but this fact should never be used for discrimination or other types of abuse. Also, in the following, jokes and wisecracks abound. The author apologizes in advance if you don't find him funny and reminds you they're only jokes. Have some keen demographic insight? Tell us.

Do you know the main demographic using your website? Is it meant to attract women, men, or both? If targeted toward a specific sex, there are some things you might need to know about how men and women use websites and approach the buying process. So take the following information, gleaned from studies and surveys, and apply it how you think best.

1. Men want to complete the task and get on to the next task. Women want to experience the task. Guys, I know that sounds stupid, like forming a relationship with pain, but this is why women are good at taking care of you. Generally, they seem to be more thorough, which is why she's never ready when you're jingling your keys at the door and why you might survive getting stuck in a blizzard once you finally get out the door. (That's a poor example. She'll likely know there's a blizzard coming and will protest leaving at all. Men believe they will defeat the blizzard. Women, I know this sounds stupid, but this is why men are good at killing mammoths, and why they're good at protecting you. In the end, it's all about taking down the beast.)

2. On the Web, both genders agree that ease of use is the most important aspect of usability. Pose as a visitor. How easy it is to upload/download/view/purchase? However, men prize download speed over easy navigation, while women place both easy navigation and accessibility ahead of download speed. Customization was the least important to both.

What's a good way to speed up or improve site performance? Comment.

Gender Differences in Web Usability Criteria

3. Women are more holistic when shopping. They want to see and weigh all the options, want to be advised, and want to take their time making a decision. One explanation of this is that women tend to think more long term about their purchases: Will this still work in six months? Will I be able to wear this next year?

4. Men want to get in, buy it, get out. They don't want help unless it involves help at the checkout to speed their exit. They think of immediate need more than long-term need. It's a very simple thought process: I want to grill some meat. My grill is old and doesn't cook meat well anymore. I need a new grill to cook meat with, one that makes it easier to cook meat than this old one. I'll buy a new grill, take it home, grill some meat. Meat grilling problem solved. Women want to know if the grill is easy to clean, if the buttons still work when summer rolls around again, if it looks good in the yard, if you can steam vegetables in it.

Male and Female Purchase Strategy

5. Men like coupons because it narrows the choices and provides clear-cut incentive to buy one particular thing they can go in, buy, and get out with. (Think: There is animal. Animal is dead. Now go home, show female, eat animal.)

6. Women prefer sales for exactly the opposite reasons. Sales present many options with many different benefits to many different people other than the woman shopping and the right product is its own reward. They form relationships with the products and then decide which relationship works out best. (Think: There are lots of different berries, nuts, herbs. Some are poisonous. Some make the baby sick. Some go bad quickly. Some are at the top of the mountain and are dangerous to get. Some cost a goat. But this one is good for everybody, is safe to eat and gather, doesn't cost a goat, and will last through winter.)

What types of promotions have worked best for you? Comment.

7. When it comes to photos, women focus on faces and pay special attention to pictures of couples entwined. Men, as in real life, focus on, well, other parts and don't give any special attention to couples. Depending on hormone levels, though, women may also focus on, well, other parts.

8. Here's something men and women generally agree on: the color blue. In one survey, 42 percent of people (35 percent of women, 57 percent of men) listed blue as their favorite color. Women's other favorite color was purple, which actually factored significantly on men's least favorite color list, right up there with brown and orange, the least favorite colors of everyone. In a fascinating twist, people seem to like more blue and less green as they get older. Green seems to be a young person's color.
