Houston, Texas (PRWEB) February 06, 2013
Adhere Creative, a leading Houston web design and inbound marketing agency, recently developed a bold and comprehensive website for FashEngage, a new, soon-to-be released, fashion mobile app for the iPhone and Android.
The app is for women to organize their current wardrobes as well as virtually enhance them by mixing and matching new clothing items from various designers and retailers. App users can then purchase the items directly from the app.
Adhere Creative was retained by FashEngage to build a fully responsive website built on Wordpress that is both attractive and informative to website visitors. The new website features eye-catching graphics and a colorful design along with a fashion tips blog, FAQ's for app users, and information for interested retailers to sign up to feature their clothing line within the app. In the near future, an app tutorial will be included, as well as a demo video on the home page. The site is suitable for optimal viewing on desktops, tablets, and smartphones.
"Adhere Creative visually captured the style of our brand extremely well," said Alex Sadeghi, Founder/CEO of FashEngage. "The responsive site is a key feature, as many of our site visitors will be using their handheld smartphones."
Adhere Creative believes that a company's website is the front line of its sales process and presenting engaging content that clearly displays its value to its target market will attract visitors. Equally important is creating a logical and easy-to-navigate website structure and design and including clear calls to action that will spark engagement.
"It was a great experience creating the brand identity and website for a new piece of technology for the fashion industry," said Daniel Vaczi, Director of Business Development at Adhere Creative. "The web design reflects the same theme of the app for optimal continuity and user experience."
In addition to web design, Adhere Creative specializes in brand development, search, content and social media marketing, lead generation and pr.

Series: What I Wish My Pastor Knew About... The Life of a Scientist
Andy Crouch examines the life of a scientist based on his experience of walking alongside his wife Catherine, an experimental physicist. That relationship has shown him that a life in science is a journey "into a set of virtues," of cultivating a specific character suited to the particular demands of research and investigation. Crouch's hope is to persuade pastors and others in the church to prayerfully support the scientific endeavor as a reflection of God's image in humankind as well as offers some suggestions for ministering to their needs.
Series: Made in the Image of God: The Theological Implications of Human Genomics
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
Awe in Science
If we can understand the experiences of the people who work every day in the lab, our dialogues concerning science and religion will be far more fruitful.
Katharine Hayhoe: Evangelical Christian, Climate Scientist
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
The Broken Made Whole
There is a sense in which we look at Temma and we want to affirm that she is made in the image of God by denying that the image of God has anything to do with her physical, material body.
Series: Chosen by God: Biblical Election and the Imago Dei
At the center of the theological and cultural controversy surrounding biological evolution stands the question: "How do human beings—creatures uniquely created in the image and likeness of God—fit into the scientific picture of life's origins and development?" In this three-part series, Dr. Joshua Moritz endeavors to address this question by exploring what Scripture means—and does not mean—by the designation "image and likeness of God".
The Beauty of Being a Scientist and a Christian
I am a Christian. I believe that God is the ultimate reality and that the world, including me, was created by God. But this is not just an idle affirmation, a faith statement to be recited in church on Sunday.
Being Fruitful
Many people use the words "dominion" and "subdue" as "unconditional permission to use the world as they please." I came to realize, like many, that such an interpretation is contradicted by the rest of the Bible.
Series: Science as an Instrument of Worship
In this brief series (taken from a 2009 paper), Jennifer Wiseman uses an excerpt from the famous hymn "How Great Thou Art," to explain why the study of God's creation can lead Christ's followers into meaningful worship and overcome the obstacles which impede true praise. Creation as encountered through our senses is pondered by our minds, which flows into wonder-filled songs from the soul. She further explains how knowledge of creation will help Christians to address the moral dilemmas of science, and she encourages all to see the process of scientific inquiry as a means to discover God's truth.
Series: What Does "Image of God" Mean?
In this series, Pete Enns discusses what it means to be made in God's image according to Genesis 1:26-27. These verses show that humans are made in God's image in order to rule over all creation as representatives of God. He argues that humanity's image is not wrapped up in their soul, but in their role as caretakers. In this discussion, he mentions that God commands Israel to make no graven images to represent God because humans are living images themselves. Ultimately, Jesus is the perfect image of God, and humans are called to live in Christ.
Meditation on Light
I became a scientist because over and over, when I was a child, a teenager, and a college student, I experienced the sheer delight that comes with understanding the amazing physical mechanisms that are at work in our universe.
On What It Means To Be An Image Bearer
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright suggests that what the book of Genesis and the apostle Paul mean by humans "bearing the image of God" is less a static picture and more of a creative, dynamic proposition-- specifically, how we "reflect" God into the world.
Stewards of God's (Changing?) World
Interestingly, I find this sort of cynicism about climate change especially prevalent among Christians. Why is this?
A Tough Mind and a Tender Heart
I recently read some published sermons by the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. The depth and breadth of his eloquent defense of truth and justice are profoundly inspiring. My favorite of his sermons begins with a verse from Matthew: "Be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves."
Evolution and the Imago Dei
Genesis 1:26-27 reads: "Then God said, `Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.' So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them."
How could humans have evolved and still be created in the "Image of God"?
The meaning of the "image of God" has been debated for centuries in the church. A common view is that the image of God refers to the human abilities that separate us from the animals. However, scientists have found that abilities like communication and rationality are also present in animals on a basic level. Plus, theologians do not see the image of God as human abilities. Some theologians see the image of God as our capacity for a relationship with God. Other theologians see it as our commission to represent God's kingdom on earth. Both of these theological positions are consistent with scientific evidence. Whether God created humanity through a miracle or through evolution, God gave us our spiritual capacities and calls us to bear his image.
(Updated June 25, 2012)
An Unfolding Creation
When we get stuck on the idea of having biological ancestors, we can miss the point that being made in the image of God is a relational quality, not a biological trait. We can communicate and have a relationship with God, and we can reflect his character and represent him to the rest of creation.
Science as an Instrument of Worship
NASA astronomer Jennifer Wiseman asserts that studying creation can show us the nature of God; science can inform us of what we need to do as stewards of God's creation; understanding the natural world gives us a deeper knowledge of Jesus Christ; and science can give us a better understanding of ourselves. This essay was presented at the November 2009 Theology of Celebration Workshop.

I graduated from Purdue University with a Bachelor's in Computer Engineering in December 2010. I'm interested in pretty much anything technology related and I spend a lot of my spare time (which I have little of) trying out new distributions of Linux/BSD (CrunchBang, Kali/BackTrack, Ubuntu, Manjaro), playing some video games, or writing some code for small projects. I have currently implemented two Android apps (on the market) and am working on a few others.
I worked at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company - Marietta as an intern during the summers of 2009 and 2010. During my first summer, I worked on setting up an integrated development environment for multiple languages including C++ and Ada95. This helped me learn some basic Ada95 and how to link C code with Ada95 code. I also learned a small amount of Visual Basic.
During my second summer, I implemented cross-platform C++ application interfaces for a flight simulator Common Operating Real-time Environment.
I went full-time with Lockheed Martin in January 2011 and have helped develop new features in C++ and Java, learning more Ada and some SQL along the way.
Due to an interest in Computer Security I made a move to Cisco Systems in May 2013 to do R/D for the Advanced Security Initiatives Group. I'm considering going back to school part time to get a Master's in a related topic.

Suspended Dearborn priest fined, gets probation for driving drunk naked
DEARBORN — The priest arrested for driving drunk and naked this summer has been sentenced to probation and fined.
The Rev. Peter Petroske, placed on administrative leave by the Archdiocese of Detroit from Sacred Heart Catholic Church, will have to pay $1,200 in fines and court costs, was sentenced to 12 months' reporting probation and must attend Alcoholic Anonymous meetings three times a week, according to the sentence handed down by 19th District Judge Richard Wygonik on Thursday afternoon.
Petroske also was ordered to continue outpatient counseling when he's discharged from the St. John Vianney Center in Downingtown, Pa., which is geared toward the clergy and religious community.
He had pleaded guilty to impaired driving and disorderly person/obscene conduct.
Petroske had missed a pretrial hearing before Wygonik on Oct. 25 because he had voluntarily checked himself into the in-patient alcohol rehabilitation center. During that hearing, Wygonik ordered that Petroske attend the new hearing, which he did. Petroske still is in inpatient treatment at St. John Vianney.
Before the sentencing, Wygonik asked Petroske if he wished to address the court. He declined.
His attorney, Edward Zelenak, said he and Petroske agreed to the plea and sentencing. He also said that the $1,200 would be paid Thursday.
Petroske, 57, was placed on administrative leave by the archdiocese after he was arrested, and was ordered to move out of the Sacred Heart rectory. An archdiocese spokesman said after the sentencing that Petroske remains on administrative leave.
He was pulled over in a 2002 Volkswagen Passat at about 11 p.m. Aug. 2 near Garrison and Howe streets, close to Sacred Heart.
"I was uh ... hot ... I like to drive around naked," he told an officer. I don't know what to say ... I'm embarrassed." Continued...
The officer wrote in a report that Petroske's speech was slurred and his eyes were red and glassy. The officer smelled a "strong odor of intoxicants" on his breath.
Petroske's blood-alcohol level was 0.09 percent. Under Michigan law, 0.08 percent or higher is considered drunk.
A man called 911 to say that he saw a naked man driving near Telegraph Road and Michigan Avenue. Police said Petroske drove on Michigan Avenue to Military to Garrison, and allegedly tried to drive around a police car.
Police seized a laptop out of the Passat's trunk. Zelenak said in October that it was returned to him days after the arrest. He also said that Petroske had a clean driving record and received hundreds of letters of encouragement and support from parishioners and other friends.
The Rev. Robert Blondell has been Sacred Heart's administrator since Petroske's arrest. In addition to the church, it also has a school for preschoolers to eighth-graders.
Petroske, who was ordained Sept. 14, 1984, in Marquette, had been at Sacred Heart since 2008. He has worked at several parishes in the Upper Peninsula and the Detroit area, including 14 years at St. Pius X Catholic Church in Southgate.

What does your spirituality say about drinking, using drugs (including tobacco), gambling, and overeating? Explore how recovery principles and practices work alongside Quaker faith and practice. Includes those who live with people with addictions or compulsions and others who wish to explore these issues in a safe and supportive environment.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has declared teen alcohol abuse a public health crisis; prescription drug abuse is the fastest growing sector of addiction in our society; and according to the CDC, we Americans are eating ourselves into a diabetes epidemic. How does our spirituality guide us with respect to drinking, using drugs (even smoking cigarettes), gambling (even playing the lottery), or overeating?
Historically, Quakers were strict about practicing total abstinence from all intoxicants and moderation in activities of daily life—including eating, drinking, and sexuality. Most Quakers no longer take an abstinence-only approach to these matters. And there are more Quakers in recovery programs than folks may think. This workshop is for those who may wish to explore how their recovery principles and practices work alongside their Quaker faith and practice; those who live with people with addictions or compulsions and who want to consider ways in which deepening their spiritual practice may help; people who think they may "have a problem" but aren't sure; and others who wish to explore these issues in a safe and supportive environment. We will inquire into the ways in which family history and experience may have shaped our attitudes toward substances and behaviors over which we may have felt, or may still feel, a lack of control; we will learn about the dynamics of addiction as a family-systems problem; and we will explore how Quaker testimonies (with a focus on those of integrity, simplicity, and moderation) and recovery principles may serve to empower us toward choices that are more healthful, for body, mind and spirit. How can we find ourselves being examples to the society in which we live? How can we heal our lives so we can let them speak—even in these difficult issues?
It is my hope that we'll also hear experiences of overcoming addictions and compulsions from those in the group who have achieved a restoration of peace in their lives around these problems. As a facilitator I will share stories of my own struggles with compulsive use of food, alcohol, and prescription drugs, as well as how my upbringing in an alcoholic family—and one that used food and religion to control and suppress feelings, rather than to express and deal with them—led me to seek a more healing and loving spiritual faith and practice. We'll be starting each session by centering into worship. We'll then be learning and sharing about different ways to meditate and pray; our different ideas and concepts about "God" and "higher power," and how to find and surrender to a will greater than our own; how the practice of discernment/unity and "group conscience" harmonize with each other; and how we may be able to shift our faith and practice in order to lift up ourselves, and one another, with a tender hand. Activities may include journaling, sharing/creative listening in pairs and/or small groups, art-making, guided meditation, and full-group sharing. We may also read from and discuss the Pendle Hill Pamphlet "Friends and Alcohol: Recovering a Forgotten Testimony."
About the leader :
I have served as clerk and co-clerk of Pittsburgh Friends Meeting's Ministry committee. (I'm currently co-clerk.) And I've been a member of the Ministry committee for about 12 or 13 years. During that time I've led countless worship-sharing and threshing sessions, and I've also worked with various speakers (e.g. Jeanne-Marie Barch, Eileen Flanagan, Stephen Angell) our committee has brought in to create successful interactive sessions designed to deepen the spirituality of our community.
I'm a member of groups supporting those who want to live sober and those who have lived with alcoholism, and I write widely about addiction and recovery. This year I'm a fellow of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), a division of the federal Department of Health and Human Services Administration.

Use our White Fan Brush or Dome Brush to apply. Rock the brush underneath the outer part of the cheekbone using one of our bronzers. Brush it up onto the cheekbone. Apply a brighter color to the apple of the cheek and brush outwards and down, away from the top of the cheekbone. Blend the two colors together using the brush you used to apply your base. The perfect blush for you is the color of your cheek when flushed. To narrow a face, bring the color into the middle of the face, but no farther forward than the middle of the iris. Two colors create a subtle, sophisticated look. To widen a face, keep blush towards the outside of the face. Harmonize blush and lip color. It gives a natural, pulled-together look.

Comments about Hachette Book Group Feelings Flashcards By Todd Parr:
These cards are very colorful and cute. It's nice that they come in their own, sturdy box. My only complaints are the price- seems a bit high for wbat you get. Also, I wish it included more common emotions for young kids (mad, sad, etc).
Great for kids who don't know the words

About Me Parent of Two or More Children
We bought this for our 3 yo who while is physically and verbally advanced was still struggling to understand her feelings and how to verbally identify them. Helping her understand that she might be upset because she's frustrated, confused, or disappointed has made a huge difference in being able to express herself.
Great Product!

My pediatrician told me to help my speech-delayed son to learn more about emotions. I act out the cards and he just loves it. I got him to say happy, and he absolutely adores the "ants in the pants" card.

Dolce Vita Computer Desk
By sheri conner
from dallas, tx
Comments about Nexera Dolce Vita Mobile Wood Computer Cart:
Everything about this transaction went so fast and smooth. It was shipped and wrapped so sturdily I knew there was no damage. All parts, down to the last screw were there and the directions were only diagrams but once i got the hang of it they were easy to follow. The pieces were well made and very sturdy. Seemed to be about the best quality you could hope for from MDF. It also has a little bit of style that you wouldn't expect at this price. I am one woman and i put it together easily in about 3 hours, taking my time. The only criticism is there were a few predrilled holes that didn't get drilled. I would not hesitate to order from this site again!

The United States moved to increase embassy security around the world after the attack that killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three staffers.
"I have directed my administration to provide all necessary resources to support the security of our personnel in Libya, and to increase security at our diplomatic posts around the globe," President Barack Obama said in a statement issued Wednesday morning in response to the attack.
The United States deployed a group of Marines called a Fleet Antiterrorism Security Team to Libya to help secure U.S. facilities, two U.S. officials said Wednesday. Such units are specially trained to retake or guard diplomatic installations and other U.S. facilities in troubled regions.
About 50 Marines were headed to Tripoli and could deploy elsewhere in Libya after their arrival, U.S. officials said.
Other U.S. troops and units abroad have been notified they could be ordered to move to embassy installations around the world to provide additional security, a senior U.S. military official said.
The official added that the Pentagon is involved in intensive discussions with the State Department and White House on how to implement Obama's order to step up diplomatic security.
"We are looking at the requirements, what we need and identifying what assets could have to move," the official said, adding that could include troops, aircraft, ships and other equipment if needed.
Two U.S. Navy warships were moving toward the Libyan coast Wednesday, two U.S. officials said. Both are equipped with Tomahawk missiles that could be used if a strike was ordered, which "will give the administration flexibility" if action is ordered against targets in the country, a senior official said.
The moves come a day after the attack that killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens amid protests at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Heavily armed protesters assaulted the consulate, said Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Demonstrators also attacked the U.S. Embassy in Cairo on Tuesday. Protesters in both countries were apparently angry about an online film considered offensive to Islam.

It's no secret that e-commerce is an ever-growing segment of American retail. Over the last decade, online sales have increased at a remarkably steady rate; more and more, if it's for sale, it's for sale online.
Improving the experience for online shoppers – making checkout quicker and easier, for instance – helps businesses in myriad ways: customers come back for more shopping trips, refer their friends, and, in turn, the business increases their online revenue. Recently, a client asked us to conduct a short flash survey of female panelists to learn more about this already large (yet constantly growing!) demographic of online shoppers.
We wrote up a short survey about online shopping habits, chose 500 female panelists at random, and sent it off on a Friday afternoon, when we knew our panelists would be winding down from their work week and have a little spare time. When we returned to the office on Monday, we found that an impressive 211 women – more than 42 percent! – had responded over the weekend.
How Often & Where They Buy
The panelists who responded were a shopping-savvy group with a significant amount of buying power. These women engage in a noteworthy amount of online shopping. Nearly a quarter of them – 22% – shop online multiple times per week, and a full two-thirds shop online multiple times per month.
Their answers pointed to an Internet economy dominated by mass merchandisers like Amazon, Overstock, and eBay. A full 77 percent of panelists said they shop at online-only destinations like these "often" or "most often," by far the largest total.
The rise to prominence of deal-of-the-day sites such as Groupon has been a major storyline over the last few years, and these types of retailers were also well-represented, checking in as the second-most-popular type of online shopping destination, just ahead of discount department stores such as Walmart, Target, and Costco.
How They Make Buying Decisions
While lots of factors enter into decision-making when shopping online, there's no denying that cash is still king. Item prices and shipping costs were easily our panelists' greatest concerns, reflecting the bargain-hunting nature of shopping online. More than 75% of panelists said they "often" or "always" compare prices at multiple websites before buying, and more than 60% search for discount codes before checking out, strongly suggesting that competitive pricing remains crucial to generating business online.
However, price wasn't the only factor concerning our panelists. Return policy and ease of returns were the third- and fourth-most-important factors, and the speed of free-shipping options and availability of tracking information also ranked highly.
A majority of panelists said they make choices based on previous experiences with sellers as well as their reputations, indicating that retailers should prioritize great service and ensure that customers associate their brands with quality and reliability. Finally, the availability of detailed item specifications and trustworthy customer reviews factored strongly into panelists' purchase decisions.
What Stops Them from Buying
Our survey-takers enjoyed the convenience, time-saving, gas-saving and crowd-avoidance possibilities of online shopping. However, a many of the women – almost 29% of panelists – said that checking out online can be so long, so complicated, and require so much information that it can cause them to abandon their shopping carts, suggesting there is still more to be done to streamline the checkout process.
Panelists also noted that not being able to see, feel, and try items remains a significant drawback of shopping online, and several voiced concerns with account security – a constant battle being fought by companies that collect personal information.
But, as several panelists noted, it's all worth it when you can shop in your favorite slippers.

With internet scamming and data integrity being at the top of most clients fears of online research, the nature of how a panel is built and enhanced over time matters. Our qualitative approach to online recruiting minimizes the risks associated with finding new panelists online.
Recruiting online can be scary; behind the safety of a computer screen, panelists can easily claim to be something they aren't. Because the internet lets us communicate in a relatively new way, we've lost some of the learned non-verbal clues that come with face-to-face interaction. Avoiding eye-contact is a classic example of a fibber, but that clue is completely lost online.
Along the same lines, it's important to note that spotting inconsistencies and little white lies is possible with online recruiting. Research has shown that individuals are most likely to be honest in communication that involves email because it leaves a trail, and they're very likely to tell the truth regarding employment because of how easily their history can be found through web searches and networks like LinkedIn.
Because our panelists are mainly recruited for qualitative research, FPG's panel has one of the highest rates of validation in the industry. Unlike a majority of panelists at other panel companies, the panelists that make up FPG's roster are verified by driver's license during their in-person visits to our facilities.
Plus, in addition to the layer of in-person verification, FPG employs tactics in online recruiting that increase data validity to truly verify that a person is real. Here's how a panelist recruited via the internet might enter FPG's panel and participate in their first study.
FIRST TOUCH: Targeted AdvertisementsFPG places targeted advertisements on search engines, websites, and social networks. Targeted means that we specify a unique panelist persona, such as a 20-something mother of a son under 2, and buy ad space that only displays for users that meet those criteria. Each venue allows us to target differently; LinkedIn gives the most robust options for business professionals, while Google lets us reach out to individuals actively searching for a product or service by name.
SECOND TOUCH: Specialized Landing PagesOnce the targeted individual clicks into the advertisement, they're directed to a specialized landing page. The page they end up on continues the feel of the original advertisement instead of being a general recruitment page. When the young mother mentioned earlier clicks through from a targeted advertisement, she'll land on a page with images that evoke feelings of family, and that gives more details about the available research.
THIRD TOUCH: Advanced Demographic Targeting After she's joined the panel, FPG targets this new respondent based on the specific demographics she provided during sign up. That means that she won't be invited to studies that do not pertain to her. Instead, her participation will be requested in research projects specific to the information she's provided about herself and her family.
FOURTH TOUCH: Confirmation and Driver's License VerificationWhen her profile matches an available study, the mother we mentioned might be invited to participate in-person for a focus group. Before the study, she'll receive a phone call from FPG's confirmation department that reviews the answers she gave in her online screener and assesses how articulate she is. After passing her confirmation, she'll go to a facility to participate in the group. When she arrives, FPG employees look at and check her driver's license against her profile to ensure she is who she says she is. This verification is then entered into our database.
FIFTH TOUCH: On-Site RescreeningAfter our staff validates her license, the panelist will be rescreened one last time at the facility. FPG's self-administered questionnaires are completed and signed by the panelist to elimate concerns that facility staff may bias respondent answers.
This qualitative verification of our panel enables better targeting and more data points, allowing us to use the panel more efficiently. This keeps costs down and enhances the panelists' experience, ultimately driving higher participation rates. The process used by FPG to recruit new panelists lends credibility to the fact that our respondents are "real" people.
Though it's still an emerging methodology, online research can have strategic advantages over more traditional types of research. It's quicker and more cost-effective, not to mention that researchers gain access to a national audience instead of being city-specific.
As online research becomes more prevalent, it's important that both client-side and supply-side researchers are open to experimenting with options made available through technology.
Recently, we helped a client – a major entertainment network – conduct a series of in-facility television show pilots. When the facility research was complete, the client came back to FPG and asked about options for re-contacting the original group of respondent's for follow-up research on a different, new television show.
FPG's leadership team created a solution that included a 10-minute online questionnaire that determined TV viewing habits. The data gathered from this questionnaire was used to choose respondents to participate in the follow-up, online research, where they were asked to view a 22-minute pilot of the new show and answer a post-viewing survey.
The project engaged more than 1,000 respondents and was completed – from start to finish! – in just a week, during the always-hectic 4th quarter.
Stay tuned for an in-depth case study on online pilot show testing, where we'll reveal details about the client, the marketing issues at hand, the research methods used, and what was learned from the study. In the meantime, contact your FPG Pointe Person today to see how you can take advantage of online research methods.
Understanding the customers' perspective is something we talk about a lot in marketing research, and for good reason: a person is behind each and every purchase, making that critical decision between you and a competitor.
Make no bones about it: customer care matters, especially in the marketing research industry. Successful customer service departments take a three-fold approach that involves consistently utilizing the same messaging, differentiating themselves from the competition, and truly empathizing with the customer.
Research proves that listening carefully to feedback, and making positive changes based on it, drives loyalty and ultimately increases sales. According to a poll by Harris Interactive, 55% of people are willing to recommend a company because of outstanding service, more so than based on the product itself or the price.
On the flip side, the same poll found that 86% of customers would stop doing business with a company entirely because of bad customer service (up 59% from 4 year prior).
The quick read of these statistics tells us that good service gains referrals, while bad service loses business. Marketing researchers can avoid these bad experiences by ensuring that, above all else, customers are listened to.
Ask QuestionsProactivity is imperative, and ensuring that your customers have the opportunity to report feedback needs to be a part of your sales cycle. This might mean sending a follow-up survey to clients, or making a feedback form available on your website.
Listen to Client-Facing StaffNot all marketing researchers are on the front-line, interacting with customers day-to-day. Those that are have a unique perspective, and often hear instant feedback from those interactions. Make time each week to listen to what staff hears in the field.
Implement SolutionsGiving customers the avenue to submit feedback isn't enough – action needs to be taken. If the feedback received from a variety of clients is similar, making a noticeable change will please existing customers and may help hook new ones.
Show Them They MatterSmall gestures go a long way, whether it's a quick follow-up to find out how their most recent experience was or a loyalty-based discount. Statistics back up these claims: After a bad customer service experience, 63% would give the company another go if they received a follow-up apologizing for the original misstep and 52% would return for a discount.
With so many choices available today in the marketing research industry, the way a company handles customer service can make or break a project. Making changes based on the customer's input is a worthwhile investment; keeping existing customers is cheaper and easier than it is to gain new ones.
FPG's Laura Livers wrote a piece in the newest Alert! Magazine about building an effective panel. Using qualitative respondents in quantitative research has an edge over panels built exclusively for quant work.
In it, Laura explains that, "Effective panels are built using varied techniques that verify and re-verify a respondent's interest in marketing research, define expectations for participation, and clearly identify incentives. Study results can change considerably depending on the panel used because of the subtle differences in the way they're built."
So what are the differences in the way panels are built? Qualitative panels are built using sign up websites, targeted online advertisements, and varied recruitment methods. Quantitative panels, on the other hand, rely more on purchased sample and sample sharing.
As part of Focus Pointe Global's commitment to providing clients with additional value, we recently completed a survey on political issues and attitudes among our consumer panel members. Populated by more than 700,000 respondents from across the United States, the FPG Panel presents a perfect platform for online surveys as well as for a full range of qualitative research.
The data for the Political Attitudes survey is comprised of 699 completed surveys from 10,000 invitations sent to a random sample of the FPG Consumer Panel. The invitations were distributed proportionately across the cities where FPG has focus group facilities: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Teaneck, NJ.
The SurveyThe questionnaire was emailed to a subset of the FPG Consumer Panel, with a proportional number of surveys being sent to respondents who live within a 30 mile radius of the nine major US cities listed above.
It must be noted that FPG did not set quotas that would allow for an exact representation of the population-at-large; rather, this poll represents the responses of a random subset of the FPG Panel, a brief overview of which is presented on the next page of this report.
The QuestionsPanel members answered basic demographic questions regarding gender, age, residential zip code, employment status and if they were a registered voter. Subsequent questions asked where they get their news, party affiliation, and if they planned to vote in the upcoming election. Issue-based questions included the following:
Additionally, we presented a text field where their biggest concern in the county today could be entered.

Selecting the right people for your marketing research project is imperative to its success. The responses garnered from participants can vary greatly depending on the inherent bias's they bring to the group, like whether they already use a product or service or the kind of customer service they've received from a brand.
Marketing research providers work hard to ensure the sample they provide clients is collected using varied methods. Most providers use 2 overarching types of sampling: probability and non-probability.
In probability sampling, sometimes called random sampling, the respondents are selected using a method that says every individual in the pool has a chance of being selected in the final sample based on at least one characteristic.
Non-probability sampling, on the other hand, is when the likelihood of including the respondent in the final sample can't be determined. Because many assumptions are made about the individuals to be researched at this stage, this kind of sampling is also called convenience sampling.
Generally, sampling that takes place on the Internet is of the non-probability variety. Simply because of the nature of the Internet, information about the relationship of recruited individuals to the research itself is initially limited. Adding security checks to non-probability sampling helps increase the amount of information gained from new recruits.
Non-Probability Sampling Methods
Opt-In Panels Many research providers allow individuals to voluntarily opt-in to a marketing research panel via a website, like Focus Pointe's respondent portal, focusgroup.com. The most thorough volunteer opt-in panels utilize best practices to validate the individual's interest in marketing research.
Double Opt-In: Requiring 2 levels of validation ensures that the individual is real, live human being – not a robot or computer attempting to register as one.
No Registration Incentives: No offers (monetary or otherwise) should be made to incentivize the initial respondent sign up. Doing so takes the "volunteer" out of signing up.
River Sample Using the river sample method allows marketing research panel providers to recruit respondents via varied instant capture methods. These individuals volunteer to participate in research via opting-in from one of the following recruitment techniques.
Banner Advertisements: Placing banner ads on popular websites and search engines allows panel providers to tap into the ever flowing "river" of people online. Because these ads are passive, individuals choose whether or not to click and therefore participate in marketing research.
Pop-Up Surveys: These types of research invitations are generally programmed to display for every nth visitor to a website. Utilizing a pop-up survey on a popular consumer shopping site, for example, can be an effective way to reach individuals that already interact with the brand.
Snowball Sample Snowball sample methods allow marketing research panel providers to tap into their existing network by asking current members to reach out to friends and family that might be good potential research subjects. Referrals can be built-up using several methods.
Email Asks: Sending an email to a current group of respondents and asking for referrals allows providers to target an initial referral group, like those living in New York City, and then grow a list of potential recruits by inviting sign-ups from others in their peer group.
Social Media Asks: Many businesses have built extensive social networks of clients and customers. Asking for individuals to participate and share research opportunities through these channels makes it possible for researchers to gain insights from extended, like-minded networks of people.
Non-probability sampling methods like the ones mentioned above make it possible for marketing research providers to continually build their panels. Utilizing various best practices ensures that recruited respondents are properly verified before they're added to a research project.

Recruiting a marketing research project can make or break its success. With so much hinging on the responses of the people you include in your research study, it's imperative to pay close attention to the recruiting process.
Setting the right tone early – preferably during your first touch with a respondent – helps you recruit highly qualified, articulate individuals. To improve your marketing research recruit from the get-go, incorporate these 3 elements to your process.
Know Your Respondents Defining your ideal respondent is the first step to a successful recruit because it helps you and your panel provider accurately target the right people. Who do you want to learn from in your research study? Are they men, women, or both? Where do they shop, vacation, and relax? Do they have children? Are they web savvy?
With the who selects defined, it's time to move into the where questions related to your respondents. Where do these people live? What city should I host my study? Would it be more or less successful online? Answers to these questions (and many more!) help define the feasibility for your marketing research project.
Realistic Recruitment Timelines
Now that you know your respondents, it's time to set a recruitment schedule. Because you've already set the definition for your ideal respondent, it's tempting to limit the time your project is in the field – but this can be risky. Rushed turnaround times often lead to compromised results, namely under-qualified and inarticulate respondents.
What makes a realistic timeline varies from study to study and depends on the complexity of your targeted respondents. For a large, high incidence study, the recruit should be in the field at least 5 - 7 days. For more targeted studies, like those involving doctors or professionals, field time should be doubled.
Streamlined Screeners
It's no secret that respondent's prefer shorter screeners. An effective screener lasts somewhere between 2 and 15 minutes – and rarely exceeds 20 minutes. Every minute over 20 runs the risk of losing the attention of your respondents, and worse, potentially turning them off to marketing research in general.
During the screening phase, it's most important to ask questions that will make or break your recruit. What do you absolutely need to know about your respondents to recruit them? What specifically qualifies them to discuss your research project? Save the questions that you want to know the answers to for later; not only will respondents provide more in-depth responses in a marketing research setting, but they'll also be more likely to participate in the future.
Every panel provider uses different recruitment techniques. At Focus Pointe, we use proven Check Pointe™ methodologies to ensure targeted respondents through in-depth screening and recruitment. This process guarantees that every single respondent is fully qualified and validated.

Every business has problems: unsold products, un-met needs, price sensitivity… the list goes on. In setting research objectives, it's important to look at the big picture issues and drill down to the real problem being researched.
Oftentimes, researchers and managers have very different ideas about the problems that their business faces because of the fundamentally different roles they play. While researchers want to generate information, managers want to make profits. This disconnect can spell trouble for defining a problem and objective when it comes to research.
For objectives to be effective, they should be formulated in such a way that will discover something new or add significant new insight to a previously studied topic.
To get all involved parties on the same page, start by asking 3 questions:
The answers to these questions will help discover and understand the research problem at hand, and they'll ensure that the team is all on the same page before moving forward with the process. Now, with the basic information defined, it's time to utilize the SMART concept to create objectives.

slim paperback book case
andrew needed a shallow book case for paperbacks in a narrow hallway. instead of using the ubiquitous billy, andrew measured the borghamn height extender for size and it fitted perfectly. (note: link is to the media storage combo. can't find the link to the height extender only)
"i used the posts and plates meant to attach the height extender to the borghamn base to instead stack two of the height extenders. if it wasn't for a window shutter in the way, i'd add another one or two shelves for more paperback storage."

Ha! I actually recognize the spine of Larry Niven's The Smoke Ring.
ReplyDelete I just stumbled on this site while looking for shelving solutions.
This paperback arrangement is awesome--but I'm confused, I thought the point was to save money, not just buy the unit and rearrange it. Am I wrong? Should I be looking for a site that has just the borghamn extensions for sale or are you guys suggesting I but the whole 259 dollar unit and just use the top parts? I'm confused. Really wanna build the above combination but dont have a lot of dough.
Any input would be great.
Thanks!I absolutely LOVE this hack and it's perfect for me since I only buy paperbacks.
I just checked and US website shows only the entire Borghamn media storage unit and shows that my local store did not have it in stock. However, I called them up anyway, asked for a stock check and it turns out they've got 4 extensions only in stock! They're about $60.
So the moral of story is to call up your local store and have them do a physical stock check.Coming back in late: Yes, we -only- bought the extenders, not the entire system. Our local store (East Palo Alto, CA) had several in stock at the time but seems to be sold out now. We've since doubled the height and gone all the way up to the ceiling, using the hardware intended to attach the extenders to the main piece to connect the extenders to each other, and the earthquake straps to secure the whole thing to the wall.

Looks like I just missed it. The Borghamn line is no longer in Ikea's catalog. Anyone knows of something similar (or whether it might still be available in stores)? This is exactly what I need. What dimensions is it?

An alternative to this is the Atlantic Oskar 1080 CD/504 DVD/BluRay/Games Wood Cabinet which will hold about 220 paperbacks. The shelves are fully adjustable so you can slap some hardbacks in there if you want. $118 US on amazon.
ReplyDelete That book case you have in your house look simple yet elegant. I actually want to have one.

Once Halloween has passed, and the spooky decorations begin to come down, don't just toss away your pumpkins.
Your jack-o'-lantern is still useful to you and nature. Give it a second chance with these pumpkin recycling tips.
Pretty pumpkin planters
Take your carved-out pumpkins and fill with potting soil. Place weather friendly flowers or plants inside the hollowed out vegetables and place around your yard. The cool air will keep the pumpkin from deteriorating too much.
Perfect for fall potting:
Feed the "neighbors"
Make sure the wildlife take advantage of a little trick-or-treat by tossing your old pumpkin out into the woods, or in a spot designated already for feeding the surrounding wildlife.
Perfect idea for bird watching as you lounge in the backyard, place the unwanted seeds into the bird feeder and check out your feathered friends.
Save the seeds!
Grow your own pumpkin patch! Dry out the remaining seeds from your jack-o'-lanterns and save for a big patch of pumpkins next year.
You'll need to save the seeds from several different pumpkins, however. Pumpkins come in male or female and can't reproduce without seeds from each.
Make sure you've got a variety of seeds from several pumpkins to ensure you're growing a patch of pumpkins instead of a yard full of vines.
Compost it
Before tossing out into the trash, rethink and recycle that pumpkin into the compost. Pumpkins make great fertilizer for next year's garden when composted.
Make sure to break it down into smaller pieces and remove the seeds. You don't want a new pumpkin patch taking over your garden next year!
Just eat it
If you've got the time, then saving the pumpkin insides for a delicious meal later is the way to go. Pumpkin flesh can be scooped and refrigerated for later, or even frozen for several months.
From soups to breads to traditional pumpkin pie, saving your Jack-o-Lanterns to feed your family can be a real fall treat.
You can also save those pumpkin seeds and toast them for a delicious and healthy snack

50 hydrogen filling stations for Germany: Federal Ministry of Transportation and industrial partners build nationwide network of filling stations
Jun 20, 2012

The German Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Development (BMVBS) and several industrial companies today signed a joint Letter of Intent to expand the network of hydrogen filling stations in Germany. By 2015, Germany will have a supply network of at least 50 public filling stations.
As part of the National Innovation Programme for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology (NIP), Germany's federal government and industrial sector are investing more than 40 million EUR to expand the country's network of hydrogen filling stations from currently 15 to 50. This will serve as a market-relevant testing of innovative filling-station technology and ensure a needs-driven supply for the 5,000 fuel cell vehicles that are expected to be on the road in Germany at that time. The expansion plan focuses on the country's metropolitan regions and the creation of corridors connecting these metropolitan regions.
The Letter of Intent was signed by Federal Minister Dr. Peter Ramsauer and representatives of the companies Air Liquide, Air Products, Daimler, Linde and Total Germany. The federal government's own NOW GmbH (National Organisation for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology) will coordinate the construction of the filling stations.
The network of hydrogen filling stations accompanies the commercialisation of fuel cell vehicles that the automobile industry has announced for 2014/15. Mobility using hydrogen is already being extensively and successfully tested for everyday use. As the largest demonstration project in the area of hydrogen mobility, the Clean Energy Partnership (CEP) has been doing excellent groundwork since 2002 and continues to collect valuable research and practical results on filling station technology and infrastructure. The standards developed by the partnership will now be used to successfully introduce hydrogen as a fuel in Germany.
Dr. Peter Ramsauer, Federal Minister of Transport, Building and Urban Development, said: "Electric vehicles equipped with hydrogen fuel cells generate no harmful emissions. They also have a high range and can be refuelled within minutes. To facilitate their introduction to the market, we need a network of filling stations that covers the major metropolitan areas and connects them to each other. We are therefore partnering with private industry to construct a total of 50 hydrogen filling stations in Germany by the year 2015. By doing so, we create the basis for a demand-driven infrastructure for refuelling hydrogen vehicles."
Markus Sieverding, Chairman of the AIR LIQUIDE Germany GmbH management board, said: "The task at hand is no longer to realise stand-alone filling station projects. We need to develop technical standards and work together to create sensible, viable infrastructure solutions for the future. Being able to drive a hydrogen car from Munich to Hamburg or from Aachen to Potsdam should be a matter of course – that is what we are all working on!"
Ivo Bols, Vice President and General Manager Merchant Gases-Europe, on behalf of Air Products GmbH: "Germany is among the world's most active and advanced countries when it comes to using sustainable, alternative mobility solutions. As the largest producer of industrial hydrogen and a pioneer in the use of hydrogen as a fuel, Air Products supports the development of technologies that are helpful in building an economically viable hydrogen infrastructure. So we are very glad to contribute to the success of this initiative with the latest generation of our hydrogen filling stations."
Prof. Thomas Weber, Member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG, responsible for Group Research and Mercedes-Benz Cars Development: "Electric vehicles equipped with a battery and fuel cell will make a considerable contribution to sustainable mobility in the future. However, the success of fuel cell technology depends crucially on certain conditions being in place, such as the availability of a nationwide hydrogen infrastructure. Together with Linde, we took the initiative in 2011 and decided to jointly establish 20 of the H2 filling stations sponsored by the BMVBS in Germany. Because it is very customer-friendly – with its great range and short refilling times – fuel cell technology has enormous potential for massively advancing Germany on its path to becoming the lead market for electric mobility."
Dr. Andreas Opfermann, Head of Clean Energy & Innovation Management at Linde AG, said: "We are pleased that the Federal Traffic Ministry has taken Linde´s and Daimler's initiative as an occasion to broaden the initiative's base with a shared concept for establishing a nationwide hydrogen infrastructure in conjunction with other participants, thereby turning the 20 filling stations into 50. This will empower Germany to take global leadership in a particularly promising field. As a trailblazer in matters of hydrogen technology, we will continue to advance this development together with our partners. Like no other fuel, hydrogen stands for environmentally friendly, low-emissions mobility – even on long hauls."
Dr. Klaus Bonhoff, Managing Director of NOW GmbH (National Organisation for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology), adds: "Today's agreement lays the foundation for a demand-driven supply of hydrogen as fuel for transport in Germany. When fuel cell vehicles begin to be introduced to the market in 2015, customers must be able to refuel in the metropolitan regions and along the major motorways. By building the nationwide network, Germany's government and industry is jump-starting the development of zero-emissions mobility using hydrogen."
Hans-Christian Gützkow, Managing Director of TOTAL Germany GmbH, commented:
"TOTAL has been active in hydrogen mobility research in Germany for ten years now. Already, we operate five hydrogen filling stations in Berlin, Hamburg and Munich. Since last year, we have partnered with the Brandenburg-based wind power company Enertrag to show how green hydrogen can be produced from excess wind energy. This makes hydrogen mobility a perfect complement to the shift to alternative energy, and a real opportunity for innovative companies."

First Steps
Simply start the PulseAudio daemon with the argument -nC
[[!format txt """ pulseaudio -nC """]] This will present you a screen like this:
[[!format txt """ Welcome to PulseAudio! Use "help" for usage information.
"""]] Now you can issue CLI commands as described here. If you already have
started use pacmd command to open the CLI. Another way to startpulseaudio
is by specifying a configuration script like that one included in the distribution on the command line:
[[!format txt """ pulseaudio -nF pulseaudio.pa """]] This will load some drivers and protocols automatically.
The best idea is to configure your daemon in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf
and /etc/pulse/default.pa
and to run pulseaudio
without any arguments.
Beware! Unless you pass the option --sysconfdir=/etc
to configure
, the directory /etc/pulse/
is really /usr/local/etc/pulse/
More information about available arguments and signals for the daemon can be found here.

Between two solutions, always choose the most generous one
« Between two solutions, always choose the most generous one »
[Jiddu KRISHNAMURTI]
Here's a beautiful quote for this week's beginnings.
I would apply it, just as an example to the nuclear option chosen in France. Two possible solutions. Keep nuclear domestic energy or discard it. Which of the two solutions is more generous? Keeping the atom is just a financial issue based on the short term. It is true that in the short term, nuclear power is the big solution to not overspend. It's also a success in terms of low emissions of greenhouse gases.
But all this is short term. Continue reading
