I now socialise with people who share very few commonalities with me, if any. I always thought I had an eclectic group of friends until I moved to Wales. Here, I am friends with the people I simply share a valley with. Instead we are drawn only to those with similar backgrounds and experiences. Cities can be cliquey having an abundance of people to choose from stops us from discovering those we think orbit different worlds. In the countryside people are stuck together, whether they’re alike or not. In the city, people who are alike stick together. This led me to a discovery: there is diversity in the countryside, a diversity that, strangely, was lacking in my London life. I became an apprentice to the life skills of every person that I met. My lack of identity, along with the human scaffolding I’d created around me, opened me up to life in a new way. I wasn’t perturbed by the lack of diversity in the countryside. There’s something freeing about placing ourselves in the unfamiliar, where we think we don’t belong There’s freedom within it – it allows us to roam. There’s something freeing about placing ourselves in the unfamiliar, where we think we don’t belong, about casting aside the people we think we are. We become rigid, less free-flowing, stuck in the details of ourselves. But I have realised that these assumptions can work against us. For instance, I thought I always needed cafés to write in, art galleries and noisy bars full of interesting people. We put a lot of emphasis on our identity and knowing ourselves, our likes and dislikes. And all these aspects that I identified with, viewing them as the essential furnishings of my being, worked like human scaffolding, keeping me together and giving me shape. I thought I needed a plethora of things, specific requirements that needed to be met in order for me to be me. And in all this self-examining, I learned something: one can get stuck in one’s own identity. It allows us to hover around, drone-like, examining the contours of our very being. Very few times in life do we find the other within ourselves. But this difference that so starkly set me apart allowed me to discover the “other” within me. Here I stood alone, a solitary figure, a ghost wandering the land. ![]() I would be lying if I said I didn’t miss the diversity of London. I couldn’t help but acknowledge the difference in culture, landscape and skin colour: there was no one like me. So I navigated my way in a new directionless Welsh land, in its dark woods and forests. Bereavement, and all that goes with it – my family imploded when my mum died – made me feel I was no longer part of a family, as if I had lost my identity. If someone saw me, would they think I was lost? In a way, I was. I wondered what a brown city girl like me was doing wandering around the Welsh valleys, the only Indian in the village. And yet, I had never seen myself as foreign. The lack of international cuisine made me think this was an unfriendly coded message that extended to me: not interested in the foreign. My new abode: small, quiet, provincial and white. ![]() Rural Wales couldn’t be further away from my hometown. My life had changed rather dramatically, so I left what was once familiar But my life had changed rather dramatically, so I left what was once familiar. I’d often engage with those voices, in the conversations that weren’t meant for me: one can live vicariously in the city. ![]() Walk down the street and you’ll hear a plethora of voices with varied accents. Moving from London to rural Wales was a strange decision for someone who feels they belong in the city, London, a place where a person can feel as if they’re at the centre of the world. Not enough is said about stumbling around in the dark. Standing alone and being lost is a place where many things can be found. Perhaps this is the natural way in life, to gravitate to the things we recognise: who wants to stand alone when there is safety in numbers? But I have discovered something. A milieu that is familiar, a cave that reverberates our very own sound. It seems our entire lives are dedicated to finding spaces we can nestle into until, ultimately, we find ourselves. The idea of being “found” holds so much importance. I lost my 62-year-old mother to cancer in 2014 I’ve been drifting ever since. A sound that, one day, will belong to us all. But this particular one, the separation of the lambs from their mothers, resonates more than any other. Country sounds have become familiar to me I swapped the city for the country four years ago. ![]() It’s the time of year when the ewes are being separated from the lambs, when their cries and the guttural noise from their mothers can be heard across the valley, a natural amphitheatre for the soundtrack of their separation. Now the asteroid base was back under construction and already functioning in its role as an interstellar observatory. The last Thargoid attack had been weeks ago, and life slowly returned to normal. ![]() Then, the burdened skeleton crew had been in lockdown and provided the most essential of starport services. Stargazer had long since gotten their shit together since Wingnut had last visited. Stargazer Observatory -:-:- Maia System, Pleiades Nebula -:-:. He was gonna need a pallet jack and a long straw. Huffing, he released the mug, massaged his back with one hand and chuffed. He might as well have been trying to drag a 21st century Ford truck one-handed. It didn't even budge.īracing himself, he at least made a meritorious effort to drag it along the cargo floor. Wingnut eyed the handle, and cautiously gave it a tug. The gift that CMDR Hope had showered him just now was more of a burdensome prank - each of the 24 canisters now occupying his cargo hold had a single Hutton Mug in it. These plates were a form of metal with the electrons stripped and super-compressed to a critical mass, which made them highly effective gravitational magnets (a property which could both facilitate and interfere with hyper-light travel). To celebrate this journey, a wandering spacer often with a coffee cup pressed from the Frame Shift Drive plates of derelict spaceships - of which there were many to find. Now he was returning with his old friend CMDR Hope of the Bellator Honestus. Wingnut had brought a passenger there once, months ago. Though it was only 0.22 light-years from the Sol system (putting it smack dab in the center of the Bubble), the outpost was so distant from its home star Alpha Centauri, that a journey to it could take hours - even though (in strictly galactic terms) it was right around the corner from Earth. You see, Hutton Orbital had a peculiar place in our galaxy. Once he saw the logo of Hutton Orbital printed on its side - he understood. When whatever it was that had hit the ship didn't seem about to come back for more, he relaxed. ![]() Swearing violently, he righted himself, braced tensely for another impact. ![]() When CMDR Wingnut released the hatch to Cell 16 in the cargo hold, what looked like a tin coffee cup tumbled out and landed on the floor.Īt the same time, the entire ship rocked violently to one side, bucking Wingnut head-first into a bulkhead. :-:- Near the Coriolis Starport -::- "Nelson City," Aongi System -::.

The most surprising of all, moreover, is that many of them are free, and taking advantage of them represents a great opportunity that should not be overlooked. I would love to hear more about how others are using this data, so drop a comment below.Digital platforms have become powerful tools that can be used for the growth of any brand. I have done a lot of research around trends and even looked across other channels in the past so I find these calls really helpful. For example, recent trending keywords for Actors in United States could be retrieved with the following POST request:Ĭurl -data "ajax=1&cid=actors&geo=US&date=201310" If you are interested in just trending data for a specific category, you can call the topcharts/trendingchart URI and retrieve that specific information. This is a huge JSON response, over 1mb, and you can manipulate the geo and date parameters to see the results of these top charts over time and location. What about Top Charts? It turns out you can grab all that data with just one POST request to this URI: If you want to get the top 30 searches in the past 30 days, change some of the parameters in that call: ![]() This will give you a JSON with the latest hot searches and more information like an array of related searches list, traffic stats, images, articles, and more. ![]() This, unfortunately, needs to be a POST call so you will have can’t see it in a browser, but if you have cURL and command-line, you could make this request:Ĭurl -data "ajax=1&htd=20131111&pn=p1&htv=l" This is probably the best way to pull the hot searches but if you need more data, you could make a call to the hottrends/hotItems URI. It actually pulls keyword data from a url that responds with a nice JSON list of top 20 trends for various locations: Now, lets look at the cool hot trends visualization. For example, the previous link was comparing html5 to jquery and we saw related searches to html5 but you could grab the related searches to jquery with this url: To see the related queries of the second keyword on your list, you just increment the middle zero in RISING_QUERIES_ 0_0. You can modify the keywords and RISING_QUERIES_0_0 (as well as geo if you care about search trends outside of United States). Here is the breakdown of the GET request: Open a new tab with this url: and you will see 10 related searches to html5. What about related searches? The URI is still the same but some of the parameters change to retrieve a list of related queries to your original keyword. You can modify the width and height and provide up to 5 keywords (comma separated) to quickly chart up and compare various search trends. You can add up to 5 keywords, so the basics of this GET call are: Open a new tab with this url: and you will see a nice chart comparing html5 to jquery. It turns out that there is a simple API for this that works with a GET request and will respond with a nice chart of keyword comparison over time. So, today, I will dig in, sniff some network traffic and figure out what kind of calls are made between the browser and Google servers to provide this trending keyword data programatically.Īs the picture of this post shows, I was initially interested in automatically generating a comparison chart between a few keywords. ![]() This would be good for building a little widget but it leaves a lot to be desired in terms of serious keyword and market analysis. There is a ton that you can do with this data but isn’t it really annoying that there is no official Google Trends API? We do have the hot trends atom feed and that gives you 20 trends with approximate traffic numbers and related news items. You can even filter by location, time, category, and type of search (web, image, news, shopping, or YouTube) or compare keywords by location or time range.Īdding to this, Google has added Top Charts which shows you most searched and trending keywords per category and you can filter or segment the data based on any time in the past. If you select specific keywords, you can compare and chart up to 5 keywords over time and see the top and rising related searches. Apart from viewing the latest hot searches and the most popular phrases over the last month, you can now see these top keyword trends in a cool visualization. The tool has expanded quite a bit over the years and now you can do much more than just see the top 10 most popular keywords. I was amazed when I first discovered Google Trends and I still think that it is a very powerful tool for marketers, researchers, website owners, and SEO experts. Since the Google search engine is dominating the internet search market, statistical data about search keywords can be very insightful. ![]() As you can see below, Cincinnati walked seven defenders up to the line of scrimmage just prior to the snap and presented a Cover-0 look (man-to-man with no safety help) in the secondary: Roethlisberger saw a pre-snap blitz look from the Bengals. And Harris, the brilliant young tailback, swung to the right as an outlet option for Ben Roethlisberger: Roethlisberger’s read Tight end Pat Freiermuth crossed the field towards the left hash before heading vertically. Ray Ray McCloud (right slot) worked up the right hash. Wide receivers Chase Claypool (split left) and James Washington (split right) stemmed inside before widening towards the pylon at the back of the end zone. The Steelers ran one of their staples - four verticals - out of a 3x1 look. Here’s a closer look at the play and some thoughts on what it may mean for the Steelers. Specifically, the decision by the quarterback. Why would they run a play that had no chance of gaining 10 yards? Why did they not throw the ball into the end zone? It wasn’t the call that was the problem, though. On the surface, it was a terrible play call. Needing a conversion or a touchdown to stay alive, the Steelers did this: A sack, a short pass to James Washington and an incompletion created a 4th and 10 situation. Somehow, despite being dominated, they had a puncher’s chance down 24-10 with just under four minutes to play, all of their timeouts remaining and a 1st and 10 at Cincinnati’s 11 yard line. Cincinnati fell back into a soft zone and the Steelers racked up yards on dinks, dunks and the sheer will of Najee Harris. This was especially true of the offense, which resembled a dead car battery for three quarters before flickering to life in the fourth. They played without much energy or emotion, executed poorly, committed an array of careless penalties and were generally outplayed by the younger, faster Bengals. They were banged up before the game started. The Steelers, on the other hand, looked like a shell of the team that opened the season with an upset of their own in Buffalo. Lions fans had plenty to be proud of as their team fought to the brink of an upset over the heavily-favored Ravens. While that sort of gut punch is devastating, the blows the Steelers received in their 24-10 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals had an entirely different effect. ![]() The Lions lost in excruciating fashion to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, yielding a fourth and 19 conversion in the final :30 before Justin Tucker kicked an NFL record 66-yard field goal on the final play to give the Ravens an improbable 17-16 victory. |
