Odor control is a significant environmental concern of manufacturing, food processing and institutional locations today, including the following issues that Nalco can help you address:
Odor can be controlled by chemical or mechanical methods, or a combination of both. Chemical odor control is cost-effective because it is used only as needed and can be tailored to a specific odor problem. Mechanical odor control may be effective, but capital costs are generally high.
Nalco offers a comprehensive group of programs to address the causes of malodors through combinations of treatment as individual needs require. through a combination of chemical applications, atomizing and liquid application systems, and bioengineering programs. These approaches are effective as stand alone programs or as supplements to mechanical treatment equipment.
Nalco has developed OdorTech® technology, a comprehensive group of individual programs to address the causes of malodors through combinations of treatment. The six most commonly used programs include the following: Chemical Precipitation, Odor Neutralization, Oxidation, Enzymatic Cleaners, Bioengineering, and Scavenging Technology.
If the source of an odor problem is in a biological system, our bioengineering programs can effectively meet your needs. Analytical services offered by our MICROSOLUTIONS® laboratory can identify root causes of problems experienced in biological treatment systems. Bioengineering can help increase the efficiency and performance of wastewater treatment systems.
These are programs are specific to hydrogen sulfide for aqueous applications. Several of our chemical precipitation solutions can also serve as coagulants or clarification aids. This method is very effective because these precipitation reactions are difficult to reverse.
Our odor scavenging technologies offer economical and reliable programs that reduce and control hydrogen sulfide. It is effective for long duration control and works well in high temperatures.
Nalco's patented ODOR-KO® program is designed to achieve and maintain scrubber optimum performance when used for odor reduction. It deploys a sulfur specific, easy-to-use oxidant combined with a bio-film control agent, mineral scale control and bio-dispersant chemistries.
Our odor neutralizers are designed to minimize odors by reacting with molecules in the vapor phase, Neutralizers are typically used for odors which are unpleasant but not dangerous gases.
One of the most overlooked and misunderstood methods of odor control are the use of cleaners. Odors are usually caused by bacterial action. Nalco's special cleaning detergents impact the biological cell membranes, denature the biological proteins and act as a disinfectant that inhibits further growth of odor causing organisms.

The Josh Willingham Award is annual honor presented to DII college baseball's most valuable player. The award is to bestowed upon a player who not only excels on the field, but in the dugout, clubhouse and practice field as well, and leads his team to national championship caliber status. The award was created to honor players who help propel their teams to an elite level.
The award is named after the former University of North Alabama Lion star, Josh Willingham. While playing baseball at UNA Willingham was a two-time All American and tied or broke 14 school single-game, season and career records. After his junior season he was selected by the Florida Marlins in the 17th round of the Major Leauge Baseball Draft and he is currently in the midst of his 10th season at the highest professional level.
The determination of candidates and initial voting for the award is made by a panel of baseball sports information contacts and media members. Once the finalists are selected, the panel votes again to determine the winner.

|In response to Re: Pressure test drain pipe
: : : I roughed out a sink drain in my basement. It drains into under-slab pipes that I've tested with water.
: : : The sink drain connects to a vertical 2" pipe that is a wet vent for the system. How can I test that the fittings for the sink drain are not leaking? The drain is 16" above the floor and the toilet pipe and shower pipe are much lower than that. How do I plug and test? Do I glue a knock-out plug on the shower drain and toilet pipes? Or is there something temporary. Also, I have an air compressor to use if that easier and less messy to use than water.
: : There are temporary plugs you can buy that are fairly inexpensive. There are rubber caps that tighten with a hose clamp or plugs that go inside the pipe and tighten with a wing nut. I usually use air to test a system--5 or 6lbs--don't overfill.
: When using air, what it the best way to determine if the pipes are leaking -- soapy water like a tire? Will it be easy to tell if there are leaks?

Rajiv Kumar
Chairman, Adopt a Doctor
Providence, Rhode Island
When 24-year-old Rajiv Kumar shares his memories of Mali, his eyes light up and his hands fly: the locals' joyous spirit, the amazing music, feeling safe in the village, being treated like family. This West African nation is one of the world's poorest countries, ravaged by AIDS, and most citizens struggle to receive basic care. In 2006, Rajiv, then a second-year medical student, volunteered at an HIV clinic in the village of Sikoro, one of the poorest parts of the capital city of Bamako.
Educating villagers and distributing free antiretroviral drugs, Rajiv was there partly as an envoy of Adopt a Doctor, a Rhode Island-based nonprofit he has helped lead since 2004. Founded by Ray Rickman, a longtime Ocean State social activist, Adopt a Doctor aims to supplement local physicians' incomes directly, enabling them to sustain practices in their home countries. Without enough doctors to care for them, 35,000 children under the age of 5 die every day in developing nations from highly treatable diseases, such as pneumonia, diarrheic illnesses, and measles.
Now chairman of Adopt a Doctor, Rajiv says his experience of working conditions in the African countryside deepened his commitment. "When we'd get to the clinic each morning," he says, "there were sometimes up to 40 women patiently waiting for us, with their children." He saw how the doctors' stress levels were compounded by their low wages, leading to their widespread emigration. "There are more Ethiopian doctors in Chicago than in Ethiopia," he notes.
The concept is simple: Donors agree to pay $100 per year for seven years. The entire sum directly supplements a physician's monthly salary. In Mali, for example, a doctor might earn $50 a month, which doesn't go far if he or she is also paying $30 a month for housing. "In many cases," says Rajiv, "we're tripling, even quadrupling, a doctor's disposable income." In turn, each doctor signs an agreement to stay in the country for seven consecutive years.
So far, 16 doctors have been adopted, and a small endowment for the program has been set up. Rajiv is dogged in his fundraising efforts. "I'm giving people the opportunity to do good in the world and giving them my word I will help steward it," he says. "Most potential donors aren't as concerned with the actual dollar amount as with how much good it can do, how much value there is."

Closer to home, Rajiv Kumar is also tackling America's biggest health challenge: obesity. Rajiv is the founder of Shape Up RI, a 16-week program that works with employers and health care providers to encourage participating team members to exercise and eat right. More than 7,000 people took the challenge this year and lost a total of 29,000 pounds. Rajiv is currently studying ways to bring the program to lower-income Rhode Islanders, as well as into schools across the state.
Adopt a Doctor has received funding from the Southeast Asian Student Association and the Howard Swearer Center at Brown University, the Dorm Association at the University of Rhode Island, and the 44-mile Run for Global Health, organized at the University of New England by medical student Dante Leven. Adopt a Doctor has received donations from 45 civic and business groups around New England and has raised funds at 12 public schools over the last three years.

After announcing the university's decision Nov. 25 to fire sixth-year coach Tom O'Brien, North Carolina State athletic director Debbie Yow promised that she would hire a replacement who would deliver like "Alabama" both on the field and on the recruiting trail.
Those high expectations will be placed upon former Northern Illinois coach Dave Doeren, who agreed to terms to become N.C. State's next coach less than 24 hours after winning his second MAC championship in as many years with the Huskies.
"I am honored and excited to join the Wolfpack. N.C. State has world-class facilities and fans that are second to none," Doeren said in a university release.
NORTHERN ILLINOIS: Beats Kent State to win its second MAC title in a row
"While I look forward to our future at State, I want to acknowledge and thank the Northern Illinois players and fans for their support the last two years, especially President Peters and (athletic director) Jeff Compher."
After going 11-3 in 2011, Doeren won a program-record 12 games this fall – winning 12 in a row after losing the season opener to Iowa. The 12-game winning streak ties NIU's school record; it's the school's longest such streak since NIU joined the FBS in 1969.
"Dave Doeren is a highly motivated overachiever who shares our goals to pursue aggressively a high level of achievement in the classroom and on the field of competition," Yow said.
OKLAHOMA: Wins its 10th game, has inside path to BCS bowl
Doeren will take over an N.C. State program that stands in far better shape today than in 2007, when O'Brien inherited a 3-9 team from Chuck Amato. The Wolfpack have reached bowl play in each of the last three years and in four of the last five, so Doeren will step into a somewhat enviable position.
But if there's a question about his ability to live up to Yow's promise, it would be over Doeren's ability to recruit at an "Alabama" level – or even at a level higher than O'Brien, who struggled keeping pace with his ACC and SEC regional rivals on the recruiting trail.
EXPANSION: Pac-12 says it's happy to remain at 12 teams
All of Doeren's coaching experience has come outside the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, where N.C. State has historically made recruiting inroads. Since graduating from Drake University in 1993, Doeren has served at his alma mater (1995-97), as a graduate assistant at Southern California (1998-99) and as a defensive assistant at Montana (2000-01), Kansas (2002-05) and Wisconsin (2006-10).
He was Wisconsin's co-defensive coordinator from 2006-07 before taking on sole coordinator duties over his final three seasons. In 2010, Doeren's group ranked 20th nationally in total defense and 25th in scoring defense, providing balance to a team that made headlines on offense.
At Northern Illinois, Doeren's replacement will take on a team loaded with talent and experience. Behind quarterback Jordan Lynch, a Heisman Trophy contender, the Huskies will be next season's MAC favorite and a contender for an at-large BCS bid.

Professional Winter Boot
"I bought these boots to use when I make home visits for my job. I needed something that could perform in snowy, wintry conditions and also looked professional. Though I havent worn them for a long time yet, these boots seem to do the trick. They have a sturdy rubber sole and appear to be made of durable materials. The shoe surface does have a sheen and I haven't worn them long enough to know how they will withstand the water and road salt, but so far so good. The fur lining is warm and comfy. My only issue is that the area from the ankle to the mid-leg is stiff and not as flexible as flat-heeled leather boots I usually wear, so they take some getting used to. For me, they get the job done at a fair price."

#1 Nassau, Bahamas. The Bahamas are usually the first or last stop on an eastern Caribbean cruise (even though the archipelago is technically in the Atlantic). Two of the region's ports made the list for the top ten most visited ports in 2011, including the capital, Nassau. The city has hundreds of colorful townhouses like the ones shown here.
If you'd rather mingle with locals than join the crowd heading to Senor Frog's, take the Number 10 Jitney to Arawak Cay, where you'll find several stands serving up fried seafood.

#2 Cozumel, Mexico. Cozumel, an island off the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, offers countless snorkeling and water-based activities, as well as gorgeous beaches: Corona ads are often shot here.

Can you stand the heat? If so, while you're on Cozumel consider booking a Mayan Steam Lodge/Temazcal experience—a spiritual sauna-like ceremony that includes native rituals. The experience takes place in a small building such as the one shown above.
John Mitchell/Alamy
#3 Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. If you're on an eastern Caribbean cruise, you'll probably stop in St. Thomas. A Mecca for duty-free shopping, the island's Charlotte Amalie port has plenty of jewelry, perfume and electronics stores; check prices at a few shops before you buy to ensure the best deal.
While everyone else on your ship heads for the famed Magens Bay beach, pick up some groceries at Crown Bay Marina for a picnic lunch and catch a ferry to quiet, scenic Water Island, sometimes considered the fourth Virgin Island.
Nick Hanna/Alamy
#4 Philipsburg, St. Maarten / St. Martin. One island, two cultures: With portions settled by the French and the Dutch, the island is one of the smallest to be governed by two countries (don't worry, though, almost everyone speaks English). Philipsburg, on the Dutch side rivals St. Thomas for duty-free shopping.
Angelo Cavalli/SuperStock
If you don't want to join the crowds breathing jet fumes at Maho Beach near Philipsburg, take a short cab ride to French Cul-de-Sac, where you can catch a ferry to Pinel Island. The uninhabited island off St. Martin has several restaurants where you can rent beach chairs, have drinks, and go snorkeling.
Picture Contact BV/Alamy
#5 Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. Grand Cayman is one of the few places where you can see the world's most endangered iguana, the blue iguana, not to mention stingrays at Stingray City.
If you like Jimmy Buffet music, catch the Grand Cayman's resident beach bum, the Barefoot Man (in real life, George Nowak). He plays most Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Reef Resort on the island's East End.
#6 San Juan, Puerto Rico. It's hard to escape history in Puerto Rico; its capital, San Juan, dates back to the 16th century. Above, the wall of the old city abuts the sea.
George Oze Photography/SuperStock
Puerto Rico's cuisine is infused with unique Latin flavors that you'd be hard-pressed to find elsewhere in the Caribbean. Old Town is filled with street cafes such as the one shown, where folks gather in the evening.
#7 Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos. Although technically in the Atlantic Ocean instead of the Caribbean, the island chain of Turks & Caicos has glorious sand beaches (such as the one called Grace Bay, above) and turquoise skies.
While luxury vacationers flock to Providenciales and celebrities such as Bruce Willis, Christie Brinkley, and Keith Richards have homes on Parrot Cay, Grand Turk has become the country's main cruising center.
#8 Juneau, Alaska. An Inside Passage cruise appears on many bucket lists, and no wonder. The state's scenery, particularly its magnificent glacier- and wildlife-viewing opportunities, are unparalleled.
Once you get out of downtown Juneau, cruise ship crowds disappear, or at least it feels that way. With hiking trails and a stone labyrinth garden, the Shrine of St. Therese, on a peninsula about a 20-minute drive from Juneau (take a taxi), is a reflective place to commune with nature.
#9 Roatan, Honduras. The Bay Islands, which lie about an hour north of the Honduras mainland, have become a major attraction for cruise ships, which come for the area's colorful fish and clear, warm waters. Roatan has become the center of commercial development for the islands.

#10 Princess Cays, Bahamas. Eleuthera, one of the Out Islands, is the other Bahamas port that made the top ten, coming in at number ten on the list. Here, you can swim and sunbathe at private beaches and resorts.

this is all pure speculation on my part it could be that mr oda forgot about gin is still there

|In response to Re: 2 Overflowing Toliets
You could have two toilets that need to be serviced, or one main line that is becoming obstructed. The stuff put into a toilet a year ago should not have anything to do with your problem.
: In the past(a year or more ago) I had put paper towels & dog waste into one of the toilets. Although I do not do this anymore, that toilet will usually NOT flush - the water always rises near the top (but does not overflow) & has to be plunged constantly. The master bath toliet is now starting to give us trouble . It normally has a very powerful flush, but 3-4 times already in the past 2 weeks it has overflowed & poured toilet water all over the floor. My husband has plunged & used an auger on both toilets to no avail.I've used drain-o & that hasn't helped either. Can these problems in both toilets be related ?... and what to do now? Thanks in advance for your input & help

MISSION MATTERS: Pilgrim Not Traveler
Last week, we began to examine the experience of a journey. We saw how even Ignatius, the founder of the Society of Jesus, a person very close to God, got preoccupied by his own expectations and desires, and had to have a friendly reminder that God works here and now, and that God's work is here and now. Today, we can look more deeply into how each of us is called to be pilgrims in life, looking for God, seeking the goodness of God, in all times and all people and all places.
Early in his own journey in life, and shortly after his conversion, Ignatius traveled to Jerusalem. The authorities there quickly sent him home because he was, they accused him, wandering around untended and having religious conversations with everyone he met. Not a bad thing in itself, but he did not understand the people with whom he was speaking, nor the political situations of that place and time. He posed a real danger of making a bad situation much worse. So, he was sent back to Rome.
Ignatius had gone to Jerusalem not as a pilgrim, but as a traveler. He had gone to Jerusalem, uninvited, actually, to change others and to make a difference, but perhaps not open to change himself, or in himself. He brought his own cultural assumptions which may have lead him to think that everyone was like him, and every place like the places he knew. He was in a new place but had kept himself in his own cultural bubble.
Many of us live our lives like Ignatius in Jerusalem. We may make incorrect assumptions and want to help and change others--more often than not, uninvited--while we are not entirely open to change in ourselves. We live in our "bubbles" where we feel comfortable and safe. Now this is not entirely bad, but we limit our possibilities of any real encounter with others. As a result, therefore, we limit any possibilities for change in ourselves. As Fr. Adolfo Nicolás, S.J., observes, ... there is no real, deep encounter that does not alter us. Part of all of that, though, needs our openness to that change, that alteration. Ignatius, his own plans somewhat thwarted, returned to God's plan, God's place for him.
If we examine our lives today, do we find any assumptions we make about others that keep us from really meeting them, from allowing them to alter us, to enrich us, to educate us, to aid or support us? Are there any attitudes which have kept us "comfortable" but which may keep our interaction with others superficial?
We can pray that with Ignatius and the early Jesuits we might learn to trust more in God, that we can learn to meet others in real encounters, encounters that may change us a little or a lot, but will always change--alter--us.
We can pray that with Ignatius and the early Jesuits...
We can meet God here and now, in you and you and you...

Regarding the letter that was written and mailed to specific people in our area entitled "Did You Know". My concerns with this letter are:
1. While the letter was well written and some of the things in this letter are true, most are just opinions.
2. Concerning the addresses, how, when, where, and why, were these specific box numbers obtained? Having had the experience of four weddings, obtaining PO Box's is nigh impossible.
3. I believe the timing of the letter was well planned to prevent a rebuttal in time for the elections.
4. I am very firm believer that when you feel strongly enough to voice your opinion. You should have the strength of character to sign your name.
I do hope I am not the only person asking these questions.

Hydroelectric Power
Hydro power is a significant source of California's and the nation's electricity. In 2004, about 16.5 percent of the total electricity in California is from hydro -- 14.9 percent from large hydroelectric plants, and about 1.6 percent is from small hydro facilities, which are 30 megawatts or smaller in size. Nationally, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, hydro accounts for about 10 percent of the country's total electricity production - about 95,000 megawatts.
The larger hydro plants on dams in California (such as Shasta, Folsom, Oroville, etc.) are operated by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and the state's Department of Water Resources. Smaller plants are operated by utilities, mainly Pacific Gas and Electric Company and Sacramento Municipal Utility District. Licensing of hydro plants is done by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission with input from state and federal energy, environmental protection, fish and wildlife, and water quality agencies.
Hydroelectric power, a renewable resource, is generated when hydraulic turbines are turned by the force of moving water as it flows through a turbine. The water typically flows from a higher to a lower elevation. These turbines are connected to electrical generators, which produce the power. The efficiency of such systems can be close to 90 percent.
How hydro power works
Hydro means "water". So, hydropower is "water power." Potential energy (or the "stored" energy in a reservoir) becomes kinetic (or moving energy). This is changed to mechanical energy in a power plant, which is then turned into electrical energy.
Water is stored behind a dam in a reservoir. In the dam is a water intake. This is a narrow opening to a tunnel called a penstock.
Water pressure (from the weight of the water and gravity) forces the water through the penstock and onto the blades of a turbine. A turbine is similar to the blades of a child's pinwheel. But instead of breath making the pinwheel turn, the moving water pushes the blades and turns the turbine.
The turbine spins because of the force of the water. The turbine is connected to an electrical generator inside the powerhouse. The generator produces electricity that travels over long-distance power lines to homes and businesses. The entire process is called "hydroelectricity".
Types of hydro facilities
The water used by hydro plants can be flowing in natural streams or rivers, or contained in man-made facilities such as reservoirs, pipelines, or canals. There are two main categories of hydroelectric power generation: conventional methods, which produce electricity via water flow in one direction; and pumped storage methods, which are both producers and consumers of electricity. In a pumped storage facility, water from a higher elevation reservoir flows to a lower elevation reservoir during peak demand periods -- such as during hot afternoons. During off-peaks periods, the water is recycled and pumped from the lower reservoir back to the higher reservoir to be used again during the next peak period.
Two types of conventional hydro plants are dams and run-of-the-river. Dams raise the water level of a stream or river to an elevation needed to create water pressure or "head." Dams can be constructed of earth, concrete, steel or a combination of such materials. Dams may create secondary benefits such as flood control, recreation opportunities and water storage.
Run-of-rive, or water diversion, facilities typically divert water from its natural channel to run through a turbine. The water it uses is usually returned to the channel downstream of the turbine.
Small or low-impact hydro may be a misnomer. Size of energy-producing facilities doesn't necessarily mean smaller environmental impacts. Hydro plants along small rivers or streams may be harmful to fish and other aquatic species. Of the roughly 2,000 private hydro facilities in the United States, about 89 percent can be categorized as small hydro.
The Low Impact Hydropower Institute, a nonprofit organization based in Portland Maine, is promoting the certification of environmentally responsible, "low-impact" hydropower. To date, the Institute has certified 19 hydropower facilities as Low Impact.

Two large bushfires burned in Victoria, Australia, on January 28, 2014, when the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite acquired this image. The fires are marked in red. The larger of the two fires appears to be the Club Terrace fire, which the Victorian government reports has burned 5,567 hectares. The other fire is most likely the 1,884-hectare Yalmy fire in Snowy River National Park, but could be any of a number of other fires burning nearby.
February is usually the high point of the fire season in Victoria. With a heatwave in the forecast, the state has brought in additional firefighters to prepare for extreme fire danger.

The Utah League of Credit Union's 100 percent for Kids Foundation presented donations to three Emery County schools recently. At Cottonwood Elementary the staff was presented with a check for $5,000 which will go toward expanding the leveled library of non-fiction books K-6. The teachers at Cottonwood Elementary have implemented the guided reading method of teaching reading. The students move from level to level as they increase their skills in reading.
At Huntington Elementary, Valinda Roush accepted the check for $1,200. The money will be used to help purchase Alpha Smart keyboards. These keyboards are used for children with neurological impairments and they enable the child to type on the keyboard and then download their work into a computer from which their assignments are printed out. These keyboards will enable the special education students to work on typing skills, word prediction skills, note taking and word identification. These tools will help the students become more self-sufficient and better equipped to function in the main stream class curriculum.
Ferron Elementary was presented with a check for $5,500. Plans for the funds include increasing the number of books in the guided reading library. Guided reading allows students to read books at their instructional level. The instructional level may be different than their academic grade level. Integration of nonfiction books will also incorporate science and history topics which help teach a subject while also teaching reading skills.
Gary Arrington, representing the Foundation and Desertview Federal Credit Union presented the checks at each of the schools. This foundation makes grants available for schools throughout the state and Arrington encourages all local schools to apply for the grants available.

"Something is wrong with my heartbeat. Is it serious?"
Every cardiologist and family practitioner gets this question from concerned patients. It usually refers to cardiac arrhythmias, a common occurrence that brings many people in to see their doctor. So here is a bit of basic information you need to know about cardiac arrhythmias.
What is an arrhythmia?
There are many types of arrhythmias, but basically the term refers to an irregular heart rhythm, which can also be noted as an irregular pulse or heart rate.
Essentially, the heartbeat goes off cadence and this irregularity may or may not be felt in your body. Many people are aware of skipping, strongly palpitating, or rapid heartbeats, while other individuals may learn of an arrhythmia at a doctor's office visit when it shows upon an electrocardiogram.
How common are arrhythmias?
Very common. Cardiac arrhythmias can affect both sexes and all ages. About 20 or 25 percent of patients with arrhythmias are not in any danger.
What causes arrhythmia?
Certain situations can trigger them, including:
- Menopause, when hormone levels drop off.
- Depending on a person's sensitivity, too much caffeine can set off skipped or rapid heartbeats.
- Excess sugar intake, as it causes fluctuations in insulin and adrenaline.
- Alcohol is another culprit, and the combination of alcohol and the sugars and caffeine in chocolate and sweets can generate quite intense arrhythmias among sensitive people. During the holiday season, when people often consume too much of both, I see a lot of this. In fact, I call it the Holiday Heart Syndrome.
- Everyday stress.
- Nutritionally, a deficiency of the mineral magnesium is a very common cause. Magnesium depletion runs rampant across all age groups, with postmenopausal women being the most deficient.
- Healthy young women can develop arrhythmias as a result of using birth control pills.
- Mitral valve prolapse, a condition more common in women.
- Altitude.
- Exposure to EMF/ wi-fi frequencies.
- Ischemia, or lack of blood flow to the heart as happens during angina or a heart attack.
Are there different kinds of arrhythmias?
Yes, there are several. The most common, called premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), occur when one of the two bottom chambers—the ventricles—of the heart contracts prematurely. We frequently see PVCs in women who have mitral valve prolapse. A premature atrial contraction is when the atrium (one of the two top chambers of the heart) contracts prematurely. These irregularities are usually not a problem for healthy people.
Atrial fibrillation is another arrhythmia that often develops with aging, where the heart is "regularly irregular," though you may not feel it. For more info on "A-fib," check out my atrial fibrillation FAQs.
Can arrhythmias be potentially deadly?
The "café coronary" has been documented in connection with fatty meals, alcohol, and stressful news. The combination can trigger a fatal series of rapid fired ventricular beats call ventricular tachycardia (or V-tach for short).
Ventricular tachycardia is an intense and prolonged racing of the heart—like a runaway PVC. And V-tach is dangerous because it can deteriorate into ventricular fibrillation or cardiac arrest. We use nasal oxygen and intravenous (IV) medication to prevent and to treat these lethal arrhythmias during a heart attack, which is just one reason to get yourself to a hospital quickly if you suspect you are having one.
In essence, during dangerously fast arrhythmias, the heart's pumping mechanism loses traction; its rhythm becomes chaotic and it cannot supply its very own heart muscle (that does the pumping) orthe rest of the body with adequate blood.
I recall one of my patients, an Englishman who'd routinely overindulge on gin and end up developing tachycardia. Obviously lacking good judgment, he would drive himself to the emergency room for treatment: dangerous for him and everyone else on the road!
Despite warnings, he indulged himself one too many times and died when the tachycardia turned into deadly fibrillation, as it often does. These situations are particularly dangerous among patients with congestive heart failure or who have cardiomyopathy, where the heart muscle becomes inflamed, dilated, and doesn't pump well, or where the left ventricle is dilated.

SmartHouse was lucky enough to have some play time with Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Wanna know what we think?
There's no beating around the bushes here: based on the 20 minutes of playtime we had with the upcoming Metal Gear game, it is going to be exhilarating. Players will enter the world vicariously through Raiden, whose ninja prowess has only quantified with his cyborg upgrades. He and his electrified blade don't fight as much as they tango, under and between cascades of sensationalised blood.
Part human, part cyborg, Raiden uses his sword as though it is an extension of his body and can slice the skin off of an elbow; literally, that's the extent of control players have. Eager gamers can dissect characters many times over, decapitating them or grating them one limb at a time.
It is undeniably graphic and extreme, with the production team exploiting the violence akin to anime. Those familiar with the films of Quentin Tarintino will see some similarities as it has been stylised to complement the visuals while intensifying action.
Based on Raiden's intricate manoeuvres and the sheer speed of gameplay, you'd presume the controls would involve a complex string of combos, but they're surprisingly easy. In the same way the Arkham series of Batman games rely upon timing to execute acrobatic moves, Metal Gear Rising strings together a simple series of commands to produce exuberant action.
What is missing-at least from our brief demo-is the espionage Snake and Raiden put to work in previous Metal Gears. The skill you'd previously use when walking behind an enemy sentry to hold him up appears absent, and if it is nowhere to be found in the end game, that's disappointing. Metal Gear is known for its ability to produce enthralling action from rhythmically slow-and therefore patient-gameplay. With MGR it appears that may have been swapped for an ongoing adrenaline rush.
Although the graphics appeared fine, the demo wasn't 100% polished. We will comment on them when we handle something more substantial.
But in the interim, gamers can rest assured the ethos of the Metal Gear franchise will live on in Revengeance.

here... None of them look like Lancia's ring. Lancia's ring looked sort of like a yin yang symbol (except both parts were black), here.
I had a thought about Lancia's ring though... Now that we know that the Gyro-Roulette determines the number of players of each element for "Choice". If there's a round 2, and 2 (or 3) Sky members are needed, then Lancia's ring might have to be given to somebody, or else they would forfeit the game.

On 2016-07-22, Molson Coors Brewing Company (NYSE:TAP) updated dividend disbursement of $0.41 a share for record date 2016-08-31. The dividend release date is 2016-09-15 while ex-dividend date is 2016-08-29.
When stock market is bearish, dividend-paying firms overcome the storm meaningfully better than firms that do not give payout. While dividend-compensating securities drop in a wide-ranging bearish scenario, they don't commonly writhe like the general street average. During the crisis in 2008, while the average of market declined for stocks of companies not compensating dividends was closely 45%, dividend-paying organizations only drop 38% on average. The gap was much wider in the 2002 recession, when such dividend-paying firms drop by 10%, paralleled to non-dividend-paying organizations, which drop an average of 30%. Investments in dividend-paying organizations gave a big cushion against big losses for shareholders.
Last year, Molson Coors Brewing Company (NYSE:TAP) paid a total of $0.41 per share in payout. This numeral was $0.41 a share in the equivalent period last year demonstrating deviation of 10.8108%.
Analysts have forecasted target of $131.333 based on 3 calls. The affirmative and bearish forecasts are $140 and $115, correspondingly.
With the application of calculated rating, Molson Coors Brewing Company (NYSE:TAP) score came at 1. For period ending on 2016-09-30 quarterly earnings can be discovered around 2016-11-01. While for the period ending on 2016-09-30, the projected EPS is $1.
Companies' performance is gauged by their ability to outdo street expectations. All members track whether firms "achieve their consensus", in simple words, can firms succeed to exceed analysts' consensus numbers. Knowing the implication of those projections can aid investors overcome the volatility during quarterly report.
While shareholder's investment choice shouldn't be bigoted too intensely on whether firms meet, beat or fail the Street's predictions, it's convenient keeping a track on how earnings figures execute against quarterly forecasts.
Molson Coors Brewing Company (NYSE:TAP) recorded EPS of $1.11 for the quarter ending on 2015-12-31. The analysts' estimate was $1.14, demonstrating a miss of $-0.03 as against posted EPS.

It has been four years since the Oilers were in the playoff hunt in the middle of March. On March 15th, 2009 the Oilers had 73 points and were tied for 8th place with Nashville, but they went 6-8 in their final 14 games and missed the playoffs by six points.
Here's a quick look at what happened four years ago.
Standings on March 15th.
6th place... Columbus with 78 points.
7th place... Minnesota with 74 points.
8th-9th place... Edmonton and Nashville with 73 points.
10th-11th place... Anaheim and St. Louis with 70 points.
Final standings on April 12th, 2009
6th place... St. Louis with 92 points. Went 10-2-2 from March 15th.
7th place... Columbus with 92 points. Went 5-4-4.
8th place... Anaheim with 91points. Went 10-3-1.
9th place... Minnesota with 89 points. Went 7-5-1.
10th place...Nashville with 88 points. Went 6-4-3
11th place...Edmonton with 85 points. Went 6-8.
The Ducks and Blues went on a tear in the final 28 days, while the Predators, Wild and Oilers stumbled down the stretch and fell out of the playoffs. The Oilers need to mirror the Blues and Ducks and make a strong push down the stretch. They have to take advantage of this four-game homestand.
Just for fun here is the lineup the Oilers in 2009.
Nilsson, Pouliot and MacIntrye also came in and out of the lineup.'
Roloson and Deslauriers.
In five of their six wins the Oilers scored 5+ goals, but they only mustered 12 goals in their eight loses and lost six of the eight games by one goal. Their goaltending and defence wasn't bad, but they couldn't produce when it counted. This year, they have much more offensive skill throughout their lineup and starting tonight those players need to lead this team.
The Oilers have the potential to have three scoring lines, and during this four-game homestand Ralph Krueger should take advantage of that.
The Triple H line can attack on the rush with Hall and Hemsky while Horcoff won't get crushed defensively against lines like Datsyuk, Wilson, Thornton and Backes. These are the top centres coming in over the next 9 days, and look for Krueger to use the 4/10/83 line against them, especially out of TV timeouts.
Krueger did say he is more concerned about D pairing matchups than forwards, and he wants to focus on getting everyone involved early. He won't go crazy trying to match lines, but also said his strategy will vary from game to game.
That should allow better matchups for the 2nd and 3rd lines.
I'd match Gagner's line against the other teams weakest defensive line and let him continue his offensive tear. Nugent-Hopkin's goal in Colorado looked eerily similar to many that he scored last year; a quick release that beat the goalie just inside the post. If he gets some offensive confidence in these final 22 games, the Oilers could have three scoring lines.
- Many were getting on Nugent-Hopkins for not scoring, but the sophomore's goal scoring woes aren't as bad as Detroit's top-two gunners. Pavel Datsyuk hasn't scored a goal in 11 games, while Henrik Zetterberg only has 1 goal in his last 20 games.
- The Red Wings have really struggled on the road at 3-6-2. They are 30th on the road in PP efficiency with a dreadful 2.6% and only one goal, which came in Calgary on Wednesday, in 36 attempts. Their road PK is also horrendous sitting 29th at 69.8%.
- The Oilers haven't been great at home though going 4-4-2. They've given up 30 goals in 10 games. Their PP has been great, however, with 13 goals on 46 chances, while their PK is a solid 10th at home at 85.7%. The Oilers need to capitalize on special teams.
- On March 7th in Detroit the Oilers didn't have one PP. They need to use their speed and put the Wings in bad positions and force them to take some penalties. The Oilers can't get sucked into playing a passive, defensive game against the Wings. If it becomes a game of patience, the Oilers will likely lose.
- Ryan Jones was fighting the flu bug vs. Colorado and he "crashed" the last two days in Edmonton. Teemu Hartikainen will draw back in alongside 93 and 14.
- Nikolai Khabibulin will backup Devan Dubnyk. Yann Danis went back to OKC after the Colorado game.
GAME DAY PREDICTION: The Oilers have only won back-to-back games twice this year, but tonight they pick up their first three-game winning streak of the season with a 4-1victory. No team in the history of the NHL has made the playoffs without at least one three-game winning streak in a season, and they Oilers keep their playoff aspirations alive with a win tonight.
OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: The crowd wil be
tipsy, loaded, jazzed up for their first home game since February 23rd, and when the Oilers honour Stompin' Tom Connors and play The Hockey Song everyone in the crowd joins in and sings. The building will be rocking as fans take in a playoff race for the first time in four years. And Jordin Tootoo will want a rematch v. Mike Brown after Brown pumped him in Detroit last week.
NOT-SO-OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: All day and even during the broadcast you might hear people reference that historically the Oilers have struggled in their first game back after a long road trip. Turns out that isn't the accurate.
In the first game back after a road trip of 4 games or more, the Oilers have been pretty good in fact. They are 59-37-14.
1980-1989: 28-8-8
1990-1999: 11-12-2 (they were 1-4 in 1999 which made them below .500)
2000-2010 (No 2005 season so added 2010 to make it ten years): 20-11-3
2011-2012: 0-6-1
The Oilers were brutal the past two years, but they struggled in every facet of their game during those two years so that isn't a surprise, but historically the statement, "The Oilers always struggle in first game off a long road trip," is misleading.

I can't wait to see Brown put a FIST or 2 into Tootoo's ugly face!!
EDIT: my fist FIST
Piss off "coaching", how about piss poor bullshlt officiating grrrrrr
March 15 2013, 10:37PM
I'd love to hear the logic of not playing Yak with 8 mins to go and a 2-1 lead but then playing him in the last two mins while tied. Also, why is Smyth playing in OT and Yak isnt? Some head scratching decisions tonight by Krueger. Very tough loss tonight.
i want the Mighty Oil to win, but the Oilers are streak breakers.
They'll break Det's Losing streak, and their winning streak with a LOSS tonight.
Detroit 3-0
Congrats on your first fist! I still remember mine many weeks ago. Wings will be over prepared (scared to make a mistake) for tonight and will either be too hesitant or over aggressive leading to scoring chances or penalties. Oilers 6 wings 1. Oops, I just realized no Belanger tonight, Oilers win 9-3. No, make that 10-3. Just like fisting, if your going to be overly optimistic you might as well go all the way :)
It will be nice to see the " next Pavel Datsyuk", play against the real PD..........I'm talking RNH!
I predict that RNH will have a breakout game against Detroit.......this kid is pure gold, regardless of his stats!
The wings have never been riper for as ass kicking. They have lost confidence , especially on the road, if the Oilers Can smell blood early, i am picking the OIl 6-2. I get the feeling they know a spot in the playoffs is close and have matured just enough to know this game is big and do not come out flat, A win today does wonders, they start to believe.
March 15 2013, 02:31PM
I have this feeling in my gut that says the next 2 games, tonight against Detroit and the next against Nashville, will determine the Oilers fate. They have to win both in regulation if they want a real shot at the Playoffs. There are so many teams bunched together that only 4 points separate them from the playoffs but they are only 1 point above last in the West too.
This no man's land in beween really bad and good is gut-wrenching. My head says they dont have a chance, my heart is cheering like hell. *barf*
March 15 2013, 10:37PM
lol, does Gregor ever not predict an Oiler win?
way to blow another one boys...bravo!
Another overtime goal scored with Gagner dragging his ass back mouthguard hanging out. Someone look up how many overtime goals against he has been on the ice for this year alone. I am pretty sure it is all of them. Say what you want about his offense, but he is AWFUL defensively!!!!
Eberle dogging it again too.
March 15 2013, 11:14PM
refs were brutal in the third. sucked the life right out of the game. Kruger has me wondering if he is an NHL calibre coach.
I swear Datsyuk and Zeterberg were on the ice for 18 minutes in the third.
Here's hoping with Horcoff back in the line-up we can win a face-off. I fear that after the Calgary loss, however, Babcock will have his squad in line. He will also likely have taken Gustuvson out of the line up and put Howard back in.
I seem to remember not getting beat last time by Zetterburgh or Datsuyk but by their second and third line, so it will be interesting to see if the new "balanced" lines do better.
I predict we still struggle in the dot, but maybe Dubnyk will stand on his head and give the guys a chance to win.
Lookie there. Horcoff is a #1 center!
March 15 2013, 01:42PM
I'd even settle for a 3 pointed dragon on this one - the wings grind us more than the stars do. Secondary scoring and keep winning those draws..... Smytty. We pick Hall up off waivers yet? Sheeeesh.
March 15 2013, 01:44PM
It boggles my mind of how we were even competitive in '09 with that lineup compared to what we look at today.
After a 5-2 pumping by the Flames on Wednesday, I can see the Wings come out flying tonight looking for a better turnout.
Close game but Wings take it 4-2*. With an empty netter.
*I hope I am wrong.
Huge game for the Oil. After salvaging the 9 game road trip (kind of) with 2 straight wins, they need to win this game and keep the momentum going.
Looking at the lineup we have going into tonight's game, A. Hall would fit in nicely with on the 3rd line.
Brown - A. Hall - Smyth
Trade Belanger
Move Petrell to OKC
EDIT: I meant 4th line
March 15 2013, 01:56PM
nice line combos
Hall gets a hat trick tonight
March 15 2013, 01:57PM
oh my god Denis Garbage Cop I forgot all about you.
March 15 2013, 02:01PM
If the Oilers can win this game I can easily see them rattling off 4 or 5 in a row and that my friends is exactly what this team needs to start doing to finish this season on a high. I have not been optimistic about the outcome of games for this team in over a month but I have a better feeling today 3-0 Oilers. Dubnyk stands on his head and steals this game as the boys are out shot 36-21.*
* Positive Friday is in full effect
March 15 2013, 02:05PM
The Flames were pretty lucky to win the last one, and Monster was really bad for the Red Wings.
I expect to see Howard and the Wings' A-game. Sorry Oilers, easy money on Bodog beckons.
March 15 2013, 02:24PM
I can believe the oil didnt make the playoffs with the BIG THREE of cogs, gags, and nilsson
March 15 2013, 02:44PM
@Matt Henderson
I think the next three. If they can win the next three that allows them to gain points on three of the teams ahead of them and that is whats needed to make the playoffs.
March 15 2013, 02:50PM
Things will get back to normal with back to back regulation losses this weekend i hope. 5-2 Wings.
Oiler Domination to follow in 2015-16!
March 15 2013, 02:54PM
Nice to see this lineup.
Hall/Horcoff/Hemsky Paajarvi/Gagner/Yakupov Hartikainen/Nugent-Hopkins/Eberle Brown/Smyth/Petrell
Been calling for this lineup from back before the season started and we were all trying to call out potential line combos. (of course Brown and Fistric wernt here at the time so Jones was in the place of Brown)
Back then, Krueger was saying he would go with duos, Hall/ Hemsky, Gagner / Yakupov, RNH / Eberle, from there you just add one player with size/grit ot each line. Has the added bonus that everyone is playing their NATURAL position! (except Smitty)
Of course, I'd still like to see an add/pick up that brings more skill than Harti on the RNH line......but for now this is EXACTLY right!
And if you don't believe me...just ask NewAgeSys!
March 15 2013, 02:59PM
Also agree that Whitney NEEDS to play with either Petry or J. Schultz....It boosts his overall confindence and gets him thinking more offensively......Lets face it, defence has never been his key strength.....this plays to his strength...
Smid/Petry Whitney/J.Schultz N.Schultz/Potter
And when Fistric is healthy, he replace Potter.
March 15 2013, 03:09PM
OK.....Thats it for me....from now on....no matter what day it is, no matter what the article is about....or what question is being asked.....I'm just going to cut and paste this LINEUP! Peace Out!
March 15 2013, 03:34PM
This would be a good time to get rid of some deadwood. Put Belanger on waivers and see if Montrel likes him as much as he likes Montreal. Some wiggle room (shedding a contract) at the trade deadline might not be a bad thing.
Grabbing Hall and cutting Belanger loose would still conform to managements tanking agenda.
Gentlemen, please play this game like a road game. The Wings just played last night but you'll only expose that fatigue if you get pucks deep, grind them and make them skate a full 200 every shift to your net. Of course, history would suggest that the Oil don't do this, turn the puck over at in the neutral zone and get burned.

I can't figure out why Kevin Prendergast hasn't been brought into the fold as well!!
Hire - Lindy Ruff
I absolutely love this line up. Stoked to see if it works. 4-2 oil. Homers unite

Wings played in Cgy on Wed night, nothing last night. Yes, fewer turnovers entering offensive zone will serve them well.

We need a big homestand and the tone needs to be set tonight. If we can win this one and keep up the momentum, then we can make up some ground. I want to believe but all these years of losing have me feeling negative about our prospects. I will say 3-1 Red Wings but I hope I am completely wrong on that one. GO OILERS GO!!
March 15 2013, 05:02PM

Oiler Domination to follow in 2015-16!
I'm with you, my head keeps telling me the last two wins were from luck and catching a team napping.
If Detroit leans on the Oilers even a little I think they fold.
Until next year when Mac-T drafts Barkov and trades for Weber.
Then domination.
If we can play like we did against the Avs (actually looked like a team effort) this should be a very good game. I'm calling it 2-0 for the hometeam.
Last time we'll see Detroit 3/4 games a year.Thank you realignment. They'll be chewing up the Leafs again on a regular basis beginning next season. @ games a year maybe we'll see them. Love it. Time we got a break.If only Dallas was in the East too.
GDP. Eberle with 2 goals. Brown with 2 fights and Dubnyk with a 35 save performance in a 4-3 win for the Oilers.
Does anyone know where to watch the Oil game on line? I'm stuck in Brooks and don't want to go out to the bar.

firstrowsports always has every game in nhl.
Thanks, Hey I guess they are right, although slow and dangerous behind the wheel, NERDS can still serve a purpose in society.
A positive and fun 1st period, nice this time of year
Hmmm...that might have been the closet to Glenn Andersonish type play by PRV since Geurin..to bad he didnt score but the attempt with speed and desire should worry enough defensemen
lol..I was waiting for him to crosscheck Howard in the mask or seeing mess running him over to bury the rebound
Way too many rums and/or beers
4 on 4 PRV came off the boards and had 2 red wings cut off his path to the net and the other to were in the the crease area incase PRV made it there...only took couple attempts to get Detroits attention
did we re-hire Howson?
Even though Hall and Yak haven't been on the same line, they've looked dangerous together while the lines have been transitioning.
March 15 2013, 09:58PM
can someone please explain to me the reason behind splitting up line combos when guys are playing well so far this game.
WHAT.THE.EFF Petry?! Terrible!
Nice....2 minutes for hitting the glass with your stick and the 2nd powerplay goal of the year on the road for the deadthings....ok..we need a GOAL..no ifs ands or WTFs about it!!!!
March 15 2013, 10:14PM
Petry just doubled his goal scoring from last year!

NFL Draft Report
By Joe Buscaglia
How a Revis trade affects the Bills
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Apr 21 2013 3:03PM
Happy Sunday, everyone. It was expected to be the calm before the storm of the 2013 NFL Draft, but then Hurricane Revis whipped through on the last portion of the weekend.
According to a few different outlets, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Jets are closing on a deal that would put the mega-talented Revis in Florida for at least half the year. The full return is not known yet at this point, but as of now it seems the 13th overall pick in 2013 will be heading to the Jets as part of the deal -- pending a completed physical, of course.
Besides the obvious of the Buffalo Bills not having to go up against Darrelle Revis twice a year anymore, how does the trade affect them specifically?
It's quite simple, really. The Jets, just like the Bills, are one of a handful of teams that need a new quarterback for the upcoming season.
Now that the Jets have two picks in the first round, that might alter a potential plan the Bills might have had for April 25. If New York had only the one first round pick, it did not look all that likely for the Jets to select a quarterback. With two? Perhaps they take a guy they really like and not risk waiting for 39th overall to get to them.
The Revis trade offers them flexibility, and although they will have a new need for a cornerback, the depth of the class at that position dictates they can probably wait until the second round.
With the Jets having those two picks behind the Bills in the first round, perhaps it scares Buffalo off of the idea about possibly trading down and wait for their quarterback to get to them a little later than 8 while acquiring another draft pick in the mean time.
The Jets just became that much more of a threat to take a quarterback in the first round. So if the Bills were intending on taking that first round quarterback, a trade-back may no longer be an option. If they want to secure their player at the most important position in football, they may be even more glued to that eighth overall pick than before.

AYU has a huge selection of body care products, divided into various categories, to suit a varied number of skin types, and skin care needs. Please take the time to find out what products are best for your own personal skin care. About AYU Natural Beauty Care All the ingredients used in AYU's skin care products are 100% natural, from the base to the preservatives. Wonderful elements such as: grapefruit seed extract, aloe vera extract, various essential oils, and shea butter are only a few of the hundreds of beneficial ingredients used in AYU skin care products.

Customer care team members are skin care specialists with industry experience. Why AYU Products Many companies claim to be 100% natural, but use synthetic preservatives or unnatural fragrances, or just market their product as being all natural. When purchasing any skin care products always be aware of the alcohol content and the harsh preservatives. Most chemical cosmetics contain alcohol (stearic acid, ceytl alcohol), which draws collagen out of the skin, and as we get older we produce less collagen, making the skin less elastic. Also, alcohol strips the skin of all the vital nutrients and minerals which can cause the skin to become dehydrated, acneic, age prematurely, and become allergic. Why use all natural: Important: Many chemical beauty products contain Phthalates (a large family of industrial chemicals), these are found in many body lotions, hair products and deodorants. They can be harmful to women, especially pregnant women. Phthalates have been found to cause birth defects, such as malformation of the reproductive system of male offspring. For more information please read the research done by Jane Houlian, Charlotte Brody, Bryony Schwan "Not Too Pretty: Phthalates, Beauty Products & the FDA". Many non-natural products contain animal products such as lanolin (sheep fat from the skin), spermaceti (whale fat). Natural products have ingredients not only to treat different skin issues, but also to provide health and beauty to your skin. Be careful, many companies give the appearance of being all natural but they are not! If they are not all natural they will not provide your skin with the proper nutrients, but will rather give your skin temporary benefits, while destroying your skin in the long-term. Using all natural products will allow you to use all the gifts given to us by Mother Nature. We all know that no artificial substitute can replace the real thing! The comparison between AYU products and non-natural skin care products is like eating an apple instead of a handful of chips. They may provide the same amount of calories, but in terms of nutrition an apple has 100 different nutrients, the chips probably contain some nutrients (from the potato) but have been destroyed by the deep frying process. The apple, like AYU products, will be provide immediate results and gratification, but will also sustain your well-being and improve your health. About AYU Natural Beauty Care Welcome to Ayu Natural Beauty Care! Using a perfect blend of Aromatherapy and Ayuveda to develop 100% natural skin care products has helped their clients nourish, replenish and protect the overall health of their skin. After using Ayu products, people say that they can never imagine using chemical based cosmetic products again.

You put a lot of time and effort into finding the right property at the right rate for your meetings' goals and objectives. Could all your hard work be undermined by some bad reviews on TripAdvisor or any of the other myriad hotel review sites? And just how accurate are those reviews, anyway?
It appears that it would depend on whom you ask. According to a study PhocusWright did for TripAdvisor, 53 percent of those asked said they wouldn't book a hotel that had no reviews on the site, and a whopping 87 percent said that reviews helped them feel more confident that they were making the right decisions. Even more interestingly, 98 percent said they thought TripAdvisor reviews were accurate. (Caveat: Since those surveyed were answering a pop-up on TripAdvisor, they obviously were already users of the site and so may be a bit more enthusiastic about it than those who hadn't used it/don't usually consult a hotel review site. Also, the findings may just apply to TripAdvisor, which is one of the best-known and most-used review sites.)
Three-quarters said they didn't just go to gripe—they tend to share positive experiences and feel good about doing so. Sixty percent said they ignored the extreme reviews, and the majority also took the credibility of the reviewer into account.
And, heads-up hoteliers, how the property responds to reviews makes a big difference. Fifty-seven percent said that seeing hotel managers respond to reviews makes them more likely to book, and 84 percent said that an appropriate management response to a bad review improves their impression of the hotel. Those responses made most feel the hotel management care about their guest experiences, but responsiveness can backfire if it's defensive or aggressive and make them less likely to book that hotel.
OK, so hotel review sites, or at least TripAdvisor, sound pretty important to a lot of your potential attendees, especially if they're frequent travelers who use the site a lot. Or are they?
But another study says, meh, not so much. This one, conducted by Market Metrix, found these review sites generally are pretty inaccurate when compared to guest surveys. According to a press release, "There were nearly 300 percent more negative responses (one- and two-star ratings) when compared to survey research, and positive responses (five-star ratings) were under-represented by 35 percent." So maybe all those nice people who answered the TripAdvisor survey were the outliers? But if that's the case, then why did the Market Metrix study also mention that anywhere from 15 percent to 40 percent of all reviews were fake reviews/promotions solicited and paid for by hotels? One would presume they were paying for positives, right? I find this one hard to believe.
Not so much the other two main points of this study, which were that the total number of reviews per property tend to be pretty low and so wouldn't provide enough data points to be meaningful, and that only 56 percent of Americans participate in social media (and just 20 percent of those over 50 years old, another number I have a hard time believing). So the reviewers tend to skew toward younger folks, whose wants and needs may differ from those of your meetings' demographics.
