Abstract: A method for monitoring and controlling device activity is disclosed. The method comprises collecting device activity data relating to a first media consumer, wherein the device activity data corresponds to activity of one or more devices in an environment of the first media consumer during playback of a given media asset by the first media consumer. The method then determines, based on the device activity data, at least one action performable by a device in an environment of a second media consumer. Playback of the given media asset by the second media consumer is detected; and in response to detecting playback of the given media asset, one or more devices in an environment of the second media consumer are controlled to perform the determined actions.

Abstract: A coupling (31, 32) for use with agricultural implements (1) such as yard scrapers, and agricultural implements including the coupling (31, 32) are described. The coupling (31, 32) sits between connection means (20) such as a vehicle mounting point, and a working portion (1) such as the frame (10) of a yard scraper (1). The coupling is simple, and provides an effective way for transferring load between the connection means (20) and the working portion (1).
