The following information is about Context.
Context Defined
An artifact's context usually consists of its immediate matrix (the material surrounding it e.g. gravel, clay, or sand), its provenience (horizontal and vertical position within the matrix), and its association with other artifacts (occurrence together with other archaeological remains, usually in the same matrix). "Primary context" refers to materials found in their original position; "secondary context" refers to materials which have been displaced and redeposited by disturbance factors; "geological context" is the relationship of the archaeological finds to geological strata.
This definition is in context to Anthropology. See more contextual defintions for Context.

- Chris Heathcote: Google, you're doing mobile ads wrong: "The first problem is screen size. On the web, a banner is 1-5% of the page; on a mobile it?s close to 30%, and it isn?t like Google search, where the ads are carefully positioned in a separate part of the page ? they?re first. You have to parse it before getting to the place you were actually looking for. The second is interactivity. Clickthroughs make less sense ... Multitasking is hard. ... The big dilemma is that needs are different. ... It?s weird that marketers just want to copy techniques from other media, that people will be willing to have to make the decision to pay attention in these new spaces, and that advertisers will think this the best way of promoting themselves.&qu ot;

- Our communities affects our health: "Ironical ly, the suburbs were created as protection from the vicissitudes of our older urban environs. In the dense urban areas of the 19th and early 20th centuries, homes sat next to slaughterhouse s and tanneries next to cafes. Everyone knew someone who had had tuberculosis, and water- and food-borne illnesses were commonplace, so people understood how our environment affected our health. Now we have obesity, diabetes, cancer and joint problems, instead of dysentery. We're richer than before, but things don't feel right. We work harder, we drive farther, we're fatter, we're more depressed. Our lifestyle is making us more unhealthy, and a lot of that is based on our built environment.&q uot;
