1 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE 2 Version 3, 29 June 2007 3 4 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <https://fsf.org/> 5 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies 6 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. 7 8 Preamble 9 10 The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for 11 software and other kinds of works. 12 13 The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed 14 to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, 15 the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to 16 share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free 17 software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the 18 GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to 19 any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to 20 your programs, too. 21 22 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not 23 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you 24 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for 25 them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you 26 want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new 27 free programs, and that you know you can do these things. 28 29 To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you 30 these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have 31 certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if 32 you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others. 33 34 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether 35 gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same 36 freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive 37 or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they 38 know their rights. 39 40 Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: 41 (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License 42 giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it. 43 44 For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains 45 that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and 46 authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as 47 changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to 48 authors of previous versions. 49 50 Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run 51 modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer 52 can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of 53 protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic 54 pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to 55 use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we 56 have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those 57 products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we 58 stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions 59 of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users. 60 61 Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. 62 States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of 63 software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to 64 avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could 65 make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that 66 patents cannot be used to render the program non-free. 67 68 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and 69 modification follow. 70 71 TERMS AND CONDITIONS 72 73 0. Definitions. 74 75 "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License. 76 77 "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of 78 works, such as semiconductor masks. 79 80 "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this 81 License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and 82 "recipients" may be individuals or organizations. 83 84 To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work 85 in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an 86 exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the 87 earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work. 88 89 A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based 90 on the Program. 91 92 To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without 93 permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for 94 infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a 95 computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, 96 distribution (with or without modification), making available to the 97 public, and in some countries other activities as well. 98 99 To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other 100 parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through 101 a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying. 102 103 An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices" 104 to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible 105 feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) 106 tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the 107 extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the 108 work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If 109 the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a 110 menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion. 111 112 1. Source Code. 113 114 The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work 115 for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source 116 form of a work. 117 118 A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official 119 standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of 120 interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that 121 is widely used among developers working in that language. 122 123 The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other 124 than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of 125 packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major 126 Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that 127 Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an 128 implementation is available to the public in source code form. A 129 "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component 130 (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system 131 (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to 132 produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it. 133 134 The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all 135 the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable 136 work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to 137 control those activities. However, it does not include the work's 138 System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free 139 programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but 140 which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source 141 includes interface definition files associated with source files for 142 the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically 143 linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, 144 such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those 145 subprograms and other parts of the work. 146 147 The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users 148 can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding 149 Source. 150 151 The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that 152 same work. 153 154 2. Basic Permissions. 155 156 All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of 157 copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated 158 conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited 159 permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a 160 covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its 161 content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your 162 rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law. 163 164 You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not 165 convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains 166 in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose 167 of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you 168 with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with 169 the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do 170 not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works 171 for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction 172 and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of 173 your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you. 174 175 Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under 176 the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 177 makes it unnecessary. 178 179 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law. 180 181 No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological 182 measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 183 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or 184 similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such 185 measures. 186 187 When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid 188 circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention 189 is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to 190 the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or 191 modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's 192 users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of 193 technological measures. 194 195 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies. 196 197 You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you 198 receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and 199 appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; 200 keep intact all notices stating that this License and any 201 non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; 202 keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all 203 recipients a copy of this License along with the Program. 204 205 You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, 206 and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee. 207 208 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions. 209 210 You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to 211 produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the 212 terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: 213 214 a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified 215 it, and giving a relevant date. 216 217 b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is 218 released under this License and any conditions added under section 219 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to 220 "keep intact all notices". 221 222 c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this 223 License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This 224 License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 225 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, 226 regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no 227 permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not 228 invalidate such permission if you have separately received it. 229 230 d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display 231 Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive 232 interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your 233 work need not make them do so. 234 235 A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent 236 works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, 237 and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, 238 in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an 239 "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not 240 used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users 241 beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work 242 in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other 243 parts of the aggregate. 244 245 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms. 246 247 You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms 248 of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the 249 machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, 250 in one of these ways: 251 252 a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product 253 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the 254 Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium 255 customarily used for software interchange. 256 257 b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product 258 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a 259 written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as 260 long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product 261 model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a 262 copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the 263 product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical 264 medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no 265 more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this 266 conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the 267 Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge. 268 269 c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the 270 written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This 271 alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and 272 only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord 273 with subsection 6b. 274 275 d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated 276 place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the 277 Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no 278 further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the 279 Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to 280 copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source 281 may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) 282 that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain 283 clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the 284 Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the 285 Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is 286 available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements. 287 288 e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided 289 you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding 290 Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no 291 charge under subsection 6d. 292 293 A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded 294 from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be 295 included in conveying the object code work. 296 297 A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any 298 tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, 299 or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation 300 into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product, 301 doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular 302 product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a 303 typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status 304 of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user 305 actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product 306 is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial 307 commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent 308 the only significant mode of use of the product. 309 310 "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods, 311 procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install 312 and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from 313 a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must 314 suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object 315 code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because 316 modification has been made. 317 318 If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or 319 specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as 320 part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the 321 User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a 322 fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the 323 Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied 324 by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply 325 if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install 326 modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has 327 been installed in ROM). 328 329 The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a 330 requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates 331 for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for 332 the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a 333 network may be denied when the modification itself materially and 334 adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and 335 protocols for communication across the network. 336 337 Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, 338 in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly 339 documented (and with an implementation available to the public in 340 source code form), and must require no special password or key for 341 unpacking, reading or copying. 342 343 7. Additional Terms. 344 345 "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this 346 License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. 347 Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall 348 be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent 349 that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions 350 apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately 351 under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by 352 this License without regard to the additional permissions. 353 354 When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option 355 remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of 356 it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own 357 removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place 358 additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, 359 for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission. 360 361 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you 362 add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of 363 that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms: 364 365 a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the 366 terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or 367 368 b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or 369 author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal 370 Notices displayed by works containing it; or 371 372 c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or 373 requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in 374 reasonable ways as different from the original version; or 375 376 d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or 377 authors of the material; or 378 379 e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some 380 trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or 381 382 f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that 383 material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of 384 it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for 385 any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on 386 those licensors and authors. 387 388 All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further 389 restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you 390 received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is 391 governed by this License along with a term that is a further 392 restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains 393 a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this 394 License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms 395 of that license document, provided that the further restriction does 396 not survive such relicensing or conveying. 397 398 If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you 399 must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the 400 additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating 401 where to find the applicable terms. 402 403 Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the 404 form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; 405 the above requirements apply either way. 406 407 8. Termination. 408 409 You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly 410 provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or 411 modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under 412 this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third 413 paragraph of section 11). 414 415 However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your 416 license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) 417 provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and 418 finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright 419 holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means 420 prior to 60 days after the cessation. 421 422 Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is 423 reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the 424 violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have 425 received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that 426 copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after 427 your receipt of the notice. 428 429 Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the 430 licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under 431 this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently 432 reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same 433 material under section 10. 434 435 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies. 436 437 You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or 438 run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work 439 occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission 440 to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, 441 nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or 442 modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do 443 not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a 444 covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so. 445 446 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients. 447 448 Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically 449 receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and 450 propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible 451 for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License. 452 453 An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an 454 organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an 455 organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered 456 work results from an entity transaction, each party to that 457 transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever 458 licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could 459 give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the 460 Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if 461 the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts. 462 463 You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the 464 rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may 465 not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of 466 rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation 467 (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that 468 any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for 469 sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it. 470 471 11. Patents. 472 473 A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this 474 License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The 475 work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version". 476 477 A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims 478 owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or 479 hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted 480 by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, 481 but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a 482 consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For 483 purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant 484 patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of 485 this License. 486 487 Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free 488 patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to 489 make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and 490 propagate the contents of its contributor version. 491 492 In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express 493 agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent 494 (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to 495 sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a 496 party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a 497 patent against the party. 498 499 If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, 500 and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone 501 to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a 502 publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, 503 then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so 504 available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the 505 patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner 506 consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent 507 license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have 508 actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the 509 covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work 510 in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that 511 country that you have reason to believe are valid. 512 513 If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or 514 arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a 515 covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties 516 receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify 517 or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license 518 you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered 519 work and works based on it. 520 521 A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within 522 the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is 523 conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are 524 specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered 525 work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is 526 in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment 527 to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying 528 the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the 529 parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory 530 patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work 531 conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily 532 for and in connection with specific products or compilations that 533 contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, 534 or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007. 535 536 Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting 537 any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may 538 otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law. 539 540 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom. 541 542 If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or 543 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not 544 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a 545 covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this 546 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may 547 not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you 548 to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey 549 the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this 550 License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program. 551 552 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License. 553 554 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have 555 permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed 556 under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single 557 combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this 558 License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, 559 but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, 560 section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the 561 combination as such. 562 563 14. Revised Versions of this License. 564 565 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of 566 the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will 567 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to 568 address new problems or concerns. 569 570 Each version is given a distinguishing version number.

If the Program does not specify a version number of the 576 GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published 577 by the Free Software Foundation. 578 579 If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future 580 versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's 581 public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you 582 to choose that version for the Program. 583 584 Later license versions may give you additional or different 585 permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any 586 author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a 587 later version. 588 589 15.

It is safest 630 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively 631 state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least 632 the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. 633 634 <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> 635 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> 636 637 This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify 638 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by 639 the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or 640 (at your option) any later version. 641 642 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, 643 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of 644 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

If not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>. 649 650 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. 651 652 If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short 653 notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode: 654 655 <program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> 656 This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. 657 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it 658 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. 659 660 The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate 661 parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands 662 might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box". 663 664 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, 665 if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. 666 For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see 667 <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>. 668 669 The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program 670 into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you 671 may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with 672 the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General 673 Public License instead of this License. But first, please read 674 <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-not-lgpl.html>.

500 Grams (1.1 Pounds) Soilent Green Gel Food
Auction ID:
Posted on:
1st of April 2016 at 8:00 PM
Watch List:
If you want to ADD 500 Grams of Soilent Green to your FISH ORDER, please use this "buy it now" option. This will add it to your fish invoice, and there will be no additional shipping charges when added to your fish shipment. I don't have another way implemented to add food to your order, so will be using this method for now.
If you want to JUST BUY FOOD, please use the link on the homepage, which adds $6.80 to cover USPS Priority Shipping.
I have been advocating the use of moist food for years. Moist food moves more easily through the digestive tract, results in more efficient nutrient assimilation, and also minimizes balance/buoyancy problems many fish have after eating dry food. Unfortunately, most goldfish foods have no moisture content at all. That's because, with the exception of frozen foods, others would spoil and have no shelf-life. So, most goldfish food is "dry as a bone", and ultimately not the best for the fish, even if the ingredients are high quality. Our fish farmers raise the goldfish on moist food, so it makes no sense to switch them to a dry diet after they are imported. I've addressed this issue for years by "hydrating" all of the pellets we've fed. This involved a slow process of introducing moisture and refrigerating pellets to make sure they were soft throughout, and not just wetted on the outside. This made them like little meatballs, but they still held together and didn't fall apart in the tank. Well, I have quit messing around with pellets! That's because after months of trials, and many conversations with fellow hobbyists for over a year, I feel that Soilent Green is the best solution for the main staple in the Goldfish diet. I used to make my own gel food, but it was time consuming, messy, and I never felt confident that the mix of ingredients was optimal. Soilent Green solves these issues with an easy to make product. Brought to a boil in a non-stick pan, and poured onto a non-stick cookie sheet, it gels quickly with little to no clean up. Anything left in the pan gels up and peels right off. Once a batch is made, I chop it up on a cutting board into bite size pieces and store in the fridge. I am actually making pounds of it every other day, but the average hobbyist should be able to make a small batch every week or two, spending less than 15 minutes to do so.
I've always said that I'd rather concentrate on the fish, and not get into selling products or food. That was mostly because I never felt enough confidence in any food that I wanted to promote or represent it. The other reason is the nature of internet commerce. Huge companies can offer some retail products for less than I can even get them wholesale. Being a small business, it's hard to compete, and I simply wasn't going to try to. I'd have to buy, stock, sell, and ship hundreds of pounds of food just to make a tiny profit. Again, it made sense to just focus on the fish, especially since that takes a huge amount of time already, and because goldfish is what Dandy Orandas does best. : )
All of that being said, I have now decided to offer this Repashy Soilent Green. After years of being asked about food, and seeing many people struggle with food related issues, I think this is a great solution. Repashy has high quality ingredients, plus the moisture that I've always advocated, and we've seen great results using it. Fish are active, healthy, with vibrant color and none of the goofy post-feeding buoyancy issues seen with dry foods. Repashy also has a good relationship with its retailers, and sets MAP pricing for their products. This is Minimum Advertised Pricing, which keeps huge sellers from undercutting small business. So, you should see similar pricing no matter what the source, leaving you to support good merchants instead of buying simply based on price. Speaking of price….Repashy does come in smaller quantities, but the unit cost is much more optimal at the 1.1lb. size. I am stocking this size ONLY, since it is a better value. While it is a lot of food, it does have a good shelf-life until gelled, so it shouldn't go to waste.
SHIPPING INFO. If you are getting fish, a 1.1 lb. bag can be added to your shipment for no additional shipping cost. If you are just getting food, then shipping will be via USPS priority mail, and will be $6.80, for a total of $32.79 delivered. (Please note if just getting food, please use the link on the homepage for food.)

It's MORNING EDITION from NPR News. Good morning, I'm David Greene.
And I'm Steve Inskeep. President Obama's former point man on Syria resigned because he can no longer defend U.S. policy there. Ambassador Robert Ford was once known for dramatic gestures supporting Syria's opposition. But Ford says, as the uprising became a civil war he was frustrated by limited U.S. support for rebels. And even now, Ford told the "PBS NewsHour" he is not sure the Obama administration is doing enough.
ROBERT FORD: It's not clear to me yet if they are prepared to ramp it up in such a way that will be meaningful on the ground. And that's really what matters. This is a civil war. And we can't get to a political negotiation until the balance on the ground compels - and I use that word precisely - compels Assad not to run sham elections, but rather to negotiate a political deal. But the situation on the ground is key.
INSKEEP: That's former U.S. Ambassador Robert Ford. NPR's Deborah Amos has interviewed Ford over the years and joins us now from a town on the border with Syria and Turkey. Hi Deb.
DEBORAH AMOS, BYLINE: Hi, good morning.
INSKEEP: How significant a voice is Robert Ford?
AMOS: He was the point man for Syrian policy through this revolt. For him to speak out now, this close to the moment where he left the administration, is important. He did not voice any of those frustrations as a diplomat. He did defend the policy when he was a diplomat. And now that he's quit, he is remarkably speaking out. There have been others - Fred Hoff, also from the State Department, also resigned, said that he was frustrated by the policy and has been writing regularly. So now we have two senior diplomats who are saying publicly that they are frustrated.
INSKEEP: Saying that the U.S. should be doing more now. In our interview with President Obama last week, he tried to explain why he's been reluctant to get too involved in Syria. Let's listen to some of that, Deb Amos.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Ultimately, I did not think then and I still do not believe that American military actions can resolve what is increasingly a sectarian civil war. And I also believe that, ultimately, the only way you're going to get a resolution that works for the Syrian people in the region is going to require some sort of political accommodation between the various groups there.
INSKEEP: Deb Amos, they're both talking about a political solution - Robert Ford and President Obama. So what is the difference here?
AMOS: I did notice that. And I think the difference is how you get there. Ex-ambassador Ford is saying how you get there is you support moderate rebels. You put pressure on the regime. They are not going to come to any negotiating table without that kind of pressure. And there is not enough. We just saw yesterday an election in Damascus. Many Western governments, certainly the opposition, called it a shameful sham. But nevertheless, it demonstrated the resilience of the regime. There is no diplomatic solution in sight. And so, this war is likely to go on for some time to come until there is some reason for the Assad regime to negotiate with the opposition.
INSKEEP: Deb Amos, just to underline the stakes here - would you remind us just where you are?
AMOS: I am in a town called Kilis. It is a Turkish border town. Here - I haven't been here in a while, and I noticed that many of the shop signs are in Arabic now. This town is 50-50 - half Syrian refugees. Many thousands have arrived just since January from the Syrian town of Aleppo, where there has been a hellacious campaign of barrel bombs. Regime helicopters have been dropping them on civilian areas. You see kids begging on the streets. It is a town that has been awash with Syrian refugees. This is the spillover of the war in Syria.
INSKEEP: Reminder of the human stakes. From NPR's Deborah Amos. Deb, thanks very much.
AMOS: Thank you. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Troy Smith is going to win the Heisman. I don't have any specific scoop; like the rest of you, I simply assume this as fact.
Should the Heisman be for the most talented player in college football? The most valuable? Some combination?
Is Troy Smith really the best player in college football? Or does he get at least a little "Geno Torretta Bonus" for being the QB of the No. 1 team?
To steal a baseball stat, is Troy Smith's VORP (Value Over a Replacement Player) really that high -- or could you stick a serviceable QB in at
If that's the case, maybe Smith isn't the best player in college football. And it's not like I'm nominating Brady Quinn. If Quinn played for any team but Notre Dame, he'd be at home, not in
(Meanwhile, I saw that the ceremony would only feature three players: Smith, Quinn and Darren McFadden. I'm not sure why they ever went away from bringing the five top players to NYC for the ceremony. Even though at least 3 of the players perennially knew they weren't winning, it was always such an honor to be invited to
If Heisman worthiness is a function of talent and singular value to a team, I'd give my vote to
It's no surprise that
Darren McFadden is college football's LaDainian Tomlinson. He is its most talented player and – given
Two years ago, I gave Reggie Bush my Heisman vote over Matt Leinart, who ended up winning the award. At the time, Bush was the most talented player in college football – and I'm quite sure that Leinart wouldn't have been Leinart without Bush being Bush. I was right about who *should* have won, but a year early on who *actually* won.
My 2006 Heisman vote goes to Darren McFadden. He won't win this season, but – based on my track record – they might as well engrave his name on the Trophy for 2007. But he's the best player THIS season, too.
Comments Question: Given that Troy Smith WILL win the Heisman this year, a few questions: (1) Do you think, like me, that another player SHOULD deserve the award? (2) If not, who do you think should be No. 2? (3) Which player didn't get much consideration but should have?
Quick Take on Today's Biggest Storylines:
Barry Bonds on the defending World Champion Cardinals, whose fans are among the wholesomest in sports, would be hilariously awesome. I can't wait to see where he ends up.
Jason Schmidt signs with the Dodgers (3Y/$47M), which is fascinating because he's staying in the division, joining a team that could really use that super-top-line ace.
Wait: Are the Red Sox going to miss out on Matsuzaka? What a waste that would be.
Wait: Are the Red Sox going to sign Eric Gagne? I know they're moving Papelbon to the starting rotation, but...Gagne?
As I'm still in
*Signing Ted Lilly? The Cubs are off the deep end. And if they sign Gil Meche, too, will that make the Yankees players in the Zito auction? But not as off the deep end as the Royals, who after a decade of parsimony caught whatever spenditis the Cubs currently suffer from.
*Trading Freddy Garcia? The White Sox better get a big year from Brandon McCarthy.
How is Tom O'Brien going from BC, where he had the Northeast recruiting scene much to himself, to NC State, one of the most competitive recruiting markets in the country, an upgrade? And staying in the conference? He must have really seen he was never going to do better than his perennial 8 or 9 wins in Chesnut Hill.
If you were Rich Rodriguez, would you leave West Virginia – with an awesome chance to go unbeaten and make the BCS title game next season – for an Alabama program that is all impossible expectations (uh, and money)?
If you were Miami, would you hire Bernie Kosar, who has zero experience as a college football head coach? I sure as hell wouldn't.

It is crucial to name a beneficiary on your life insurance policy. Otherwise, when you die, the policy becomes part of your estate and subject to probate. However, you may change your mind about who you want your beneficiary to be, in which case you have the right to change it.
What Is The Process For Changing Beneficiaries On A Life Insurance Policy?
In most cases, it is a simple matter to change the beneficiary on a life insurance policy. You simply need to contact your insurer and request a change of beneficiary form and fill out the form accurately and completely. Make sure to spell out the complete names of all your beneficiaries and provide their Social Security numbers to facilitate payout of benefits in the event of your death. If you name more than one beneficiary, be sure to designate how you want the death benefits distributed. If you would like professional help, our friendly agent will be happy to assist you with the process.
Naming Primary, Secondary, & Final Beneficiaries
Consider naming three tiers of beneficiaries – primary, secondary, and final. If you do so and your primary beneficiary dies before you, or at the same time in the same accident, your death benefits will go to your secondary beneficiary. If that person is no longer alive at the time of your death, the money from your life insurance policy will go to your final beneficiary.
Children Cannot Be Paid Death Benefits Directly
Please note that life insurance companies will not pay benefits directly to children. If you wish to name a child under the age of 18 as a beneficiary, you will need to set up a trust or make other legal provisions for how the funds are to be managed. In naming your beneficiaries, you should also be aware that someone receiving Supplemental Security Income or Medicaid could become ineligible for this assistance with a large payout from your life insurance policy.
Are There Any Tax Consequences For Changing Beneficiaries?
Although beneficiaries are not required to pay income tax on life insurance proceeds, in certain circumstances, the payout can be treated as part of the estate. Many people who have life insurance are both the policyholder (owner) and the insured. If this is the case, changing beneficiaries will have no tax consequences. However, if you are the owner of the policy, the death benefit may be considered part of your estate for the purposes of calculating its taxable value. As of 2019, per the IRS, estate tax is only required to be paid on estates valued at $11,400,000 or higher.
Your Spouse Has Rights To Your Life Insurance Proceeds In A Community Property State
If you live in a community property state, things could get tricky if you name someone other than your spouse as beneficiary on your life insurance policy. Your spouse would have to waive the right to the proceeds, even if you named someone else as the beneficiary. If you need more information on this issue, our agent will be happy to help.

Mini dental implants are about half the size in diameter of a regular dental implant. This offers many benefits, and they can also be used in situations where regular implants cannot. If an implant needs to be placed in a narrow space, mini implants are the preferred method because of their smaller size.
A main use for mini implants is to install a full upper or lower denture. A series of mini implants (4-6) are placed along the gum line and they serve as the base of the denture. Rather than placing a single implant for a single tooth, an entire lower or upper set of teeth are directly attached to the gum line.
The small size of mini implants often means that no incision needs to be made to place the implant. They can usually be inserted right through the gum into the bone. This eliminates the need for a recovery period, and the restoration can usually be placed right away or only a short time after.
Mini implants are also less expensive than regular implants. Only your dentist knows if mini implants are right for you, so call for your consultation today.

Many companies aim to be customer-centered, but it's hard to meet that commitment without mapping out practical ways to make that mentality a reality. Some organizations keep a steady cadence of customer calls or on-site visits. Others run focus groups to get to know their customer—and their customers' customer. Some hire their customers and integrate their DNA into the company.
At Stripe, we stay user-focused by empowering any employee to reach out to users. That was true when we had over 1,000 developers sign up before our launch, and it's true today as we support more than 100,000 businesses worldwide. It's less of a policy and more of an operating philosophy. Online surveys are one of the ways we enable—and encourage—all Stripes to connect with users.
Surveys have long been a channel to get useful customer feedback fast—unlocking user needs, pain points, and motivations in order to build better products and target the right markets. But great surveys are deceptively simple—it's easy to accidentally create a survey template that frustrates users while totally confusing your team and you.
The goal of this guide is to share the main principles Stripe uses to build clear, intuitive, and engaging surveys. These survey best practices helped us more than triple both our survey response and completion rates. It's also surfaced insights that have refined product development, improved internal operations, and, most critically, fostered closer ties with our users.
What makes a survey great
Think of a memorable survey you've taken.
If one comes to mind, odds are it's not because it was praiseworthy. Great surveys, like other first-rate user experiences, reduce friction and fade into the background. It's the painful surveys—such as one asking about "English proficiency" in English—that people remember. (True story.)
Great surveys—ones that forge better products and stronger relationships with users—distinguish themselves from the rest in five important ways. They:
- Increase the number of people who take and complete your survey
- Make it easier to pull insights out of your survey data
- Ensure your data analysis is valid and accurate
- Facilitate buy-in for survey-based decisions
- Change how people view your company and brand
The survey research design team, and all Stripes, refer to a few main principles to build great surveys—ones users love to take, teams love to analyze, companies love to act on, and, just maybe, make the world a better place.
Key principles behind great surveys
Principle 1: People aren't here for surveys.
It's safe to say that close to 0% of your customers proactively visit your website in search of an online survey. They've got something else in mind: They want to make a purchase, update their subscription, review a dashboard, or learn more about your brand.
If you're going to put surveys between people and the tasks they want to accomplish, make their survey experience as painless as possible. They shouldn't have to think too hard to answer your questions, and they should be able to quickly get back to their tasks at hand. Make their survey experience smooth and increase survey engagement by following a few easy guidelines:
Make surveys about them, not about you. Remind people what's in it for them when you introduce your survey. Don't make general requests for feedback and ask, "Help us by taking this survey." Tell them how their responses will benefit them, whether that's making a page more useful, getting rid of a bug, or providing better service.
To illustrate this point, let's say you work at interstellar travel company Rocket Rides. Your goal is to build better experiences for your users, and to do that you need to understand what your users are thinking. But to get them through your entire survey without quitting and checking Twitter, it must be clear and compelling for people (and space aliens alike):
Make answer options collectively exhaustive. Every survey taker should be able to answer every question, which often means including an "I'm not sure" and an "Other (please describe):" response. Not only does this give each respondent something to click, but it also weeds out weak or unrelated answers. Here's this tactic in action in the Rocket Rides survey:
Make answer options mutually exclusive. When survey takers see answer options that overlap (e.g., "1–5 rides" and "5–10 rides"), they abandon the survey (a little too much to think about there) or answer inaccurately. Make sure all answer options are mutually exclusive (e.g., "1–5 rides" and "6–10 rides") to avoid confusion—and survey respondent churn.
Once more, let's see how Rocket Rides can improve its survey question:
Use language that encourages people to be subjective. When asking people to recall or estimate information (e.g., how many customers they have or how many rocket rides they've taken recently), don't make them stop and wonder the level of accuracy that's needed. Instead, use words and phrases like "roughly," "in your opinion," "generally," or "if you had to guess" to empower people to give subjective answers, as well as continue with the survey. Here's how that might look:
Use only one free-response question—at the end of a survey. Multiple-choice questions are easy to answer (especially if you follow the previous tips), but coming up with actual words to type in a box requires more work—especially on mobile. People are more likely to drop out of surveys when they encounter free-response questions, so it's best to put them at the end of your survey. By that point, you've built trust with sound questions, warmed up a survey taker on the topic, and given them some direction on what you're hoping to learn. So ask only one free-response question; only on rare occasions should you ask two.
Here's how too many free-response questions can lose survey respondents:
Summary: During outreach, frame how a completed survey will benefit the respondent, not how it'll help the company. Use the "Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive" (MECE) rule to test all survey answer options. Let respondents be subjective and embrace ballpark figures—an approximate answer is better than an abandoned survey. Choose only one free-response question, and put it at the end of the survey to increase the likelihood of survey completion.
Principle 2: Surveys are branded content.
When people get an email from your company, they don't think about the specific human who wrote the survey. They see the survey as a communication from the company at large. A survey is a direct-to-user message about your company's priorities, attention to detail, and respect for their time. Create a survey experience that honors user time, and represents the best of your brand, by keeping these tips in mind:
Use public-facing copy standards. Surveys may be sent privately with unique links, but they are still public-facing content and reflect your standards. They should have impeccable punctuation, grammar, spelling, content clarity, and tone. Typically the only way to ensure this is to bring in an extra set of eyes, so always ask someone to review a survey template before you send it to users. At Stripe, we make it a practice to share surveys with our teammates before shipping to help catch typos and unclear sentences.
Here's how bad grammar or typos can send survey respondents down a spiral:
Avoid asking about topics that don't immediately relate to a product. Here's an easy rule of thumb: If you wouldn't ask it of someone on the bus, don't ask it in a survey. Topics that can be sensitive, provocative, and have no immediate relationship to your product portfolio—political, religious, sexual orientation; health status; family and education history—are especially tricky in survey format. There are thoughtful ways to ask these kinds of questions, but they require a lot of care. Most importantly, you'll want to be sure survey respondents understand why you're asking them the personal question, tying it clearly to things they care about. Generally, avoid including these topics unless they're critical to your business success (and then be sure to consult an expert, such as a comms person, first).
Here's how Rocket Rides might frame a question about demographics:
Respect users' time. Only include questions that truly target what you need to know. Good questions to ask yourself include: "Does this question respect people's time? Does it reflect our company's priorities?" If your survey's too long, rank your company priorities and select only the questions that reflect the top few.
Test the survey with fresh—and diverse—eyes. Whether your survey is a first impression or another touchpoint, your brand's reputation is in the balance. Review survey copy, content, and length yourself, and then get at least one other set of eyes on it. Ideally your reviewer can give feedback on survey voice and tone as well as catch any hard-to-understand language or terms. Someone from another part of the company is best, as they'll be able to give a completely fresh perspective.
Summary: Let your surveys represent the best of your brand. That means copy that holds up in the public eye; doesn't address unrelated, sensitive topics; and respects users' time by only surfacing key priorities. Make it a practice to run surveys by an additional set of eyes—likely someone on your communications team, since surveys are branded content.
Principle 3: Always define and decouple concepts in survey questions.
It's likely that your users spend far less time thinking about your product than you do. We often assume survey takers understand what we mean when they really don't, so don't barrel ahead presuming users will figure it out. Here's how to get—and stay—on the same page as your survey respondents:
Describe in detail the key concept of your question. Each survey question should reference a topic that's identifiable and clear to the respondent. Err on the side of caution when your key concept is a product name or technical term. Use multiple descriptors to indicate what you mean. For example, when Stripe sends out a survey, we shouldn't just ask about "online payments." We should give added context to ensure survey responders understand the question: "About how long have you been accepting online payments (through companies like Stripe, PayPal, Adyen, Braintree, or Square)?"
Here's an example of adding context to make a question more precise and answerable:
Never ask about multiple concepts in a single question. It can be tempting to ask about many parts of the customer experience in one fell swoop. Say you want to know if a customer's experience is "quick and easy." Asking, "How quick and easy was your experience?" is not only a leading question (see Principle 4 below), but potentially impossible to answer. If a person's experience was extremely quick but not at all easy, how should she answer? Here's another example: If you're hoping to gauge how digestible a guide may be, don't ask, "How informative and understandable is this guide?" Instead, break it into two concepts: "How much did you learn from this guide?" and "How clear or unclear is this guide?" By not stacking multiple concepts into a single question, you give your users a better survey-taking experience and make your data way easier to understand.
Here's this tactic in action in a survey from Rocket Rides:
It's all relative—be precise. Relative terms are an easy way to get bad data collection by accident. What you mean by "often" and what your users mean by "often" may be totally different. You may think "multiple times each day" and a user could be thinking "once a week." Get very specific with your responses so you know what next steps to take next.
Here's how Rocket Rides might improve a survey question—and the data it gets back:
Summary: Most issues stem from complexity and ambiguity. There are easy traps: product names or technical terms, agree-or-disagree questions, words up to interpretation like "often" or "sometimes," or compound descriptions like "quick and easy." So, when in doubt, question assumptions and spell it out. Many pitfalls can be sidestepped by providing context, clarifying language, or decoupling concepts.
Principle 4: Undercut agreeability.
Science says people are inclined to tell you what they think you want to hear. That's a problem, because you need candid feedback to build the best products. These tips will empower your users to be honest when things aren't working:
Revise leading questions. When asking respondents how positive (or useful, good, or accurate) they think something is, you nudge them to think in positive terms, and guide them to give a more positive answer. This behavior gets more complicated in an international context as survey research has shown that different regions answer survey questions in different ways. For example, in some countries (e.g., France, Greece, and India), people are less likely to choose a neutral (or center) option and more likely to respond with an extreme option. In other areas, like Northern Europe, people are less likely on average to give a positive response. This means it can be tricky to compare survey results between two countries. Carefully constructing questions in a nonleading way can help neutralize those discrepancies across markets, and, in any event, is a best practice.
Here's a list of questions, showing the spectrum from an overtly leading question to a neutral, nonleading question:
- How great was this survey?
- How much did you like this survey?
- How often would you recommend this survey?
- Would you recommend this survey?
- How would you rate this survey?
Here's how Rocket Rides might reframe a leading question:
Avoid agree-disagree scales. Questions with agree-disagree scales, where the choices often range from strongly agree to strongly disagree, lead to acquiescence bias, a fancy way of saying they lead people to give positive or agreement answers more often. While there are some instances when agree-disagree scales work well—typically when the question is extremely simple and clear—item-specific responses are better 95% of the time. Item-specific responses mean that the survey responses map onto the survey question. So, instead of agreeing or disagreeing with a statement, you're sharing to what degree you feel a specific thing, or how often you do something.
Here's how Rocket Rides might reword a question with an agree-disagree scale:
Let people disagree. Set a tone of feedback and willingness to learn from the start by letting users know that you want honest feedback in an introduction page or paragraph. Studies show that asking for honest feedback at the start of the survey can encourage more thoughtful responses. Also consider asking users for feedback using a free-response box—even if they already said they liked your product or experience. This is another way to show you truly want to hear how you can make things better. It also captures feedback from people who might have been influenced by acquiescence bias.
Summary: Encourage your users to be honest and direct with you. Begin surveys by telling respondents that you want their candor—and leave a door open for feedback at the end of the survey. Cut or revise any leading questions. Be careful not to influence respondents with positive terms or agree-disagree scales.
The understated role of online surveys
Surveys are sobering mirrors of the companies that send them. People may welcome the opportunity to interact with, support, and improve your brand—and take your survey. Or respondents might reject it out of distraction, disinterest, or suspicion. Regardless of the initial reception, the task is the same: getting feedback to improve products to better serve people.
A survey makes headway when the mirror moves to reflect the respondent, not the company. The more the survey respondent comes into focus, the better. That shift happens when:
- It's painless to take surveys at every turn—from mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive answer options to placement of a free-response question.
- People design, draft, and review surveys as branded content.
- Survey questions include context, define ambiguous terms, and decouple concepts.
- Surveys actively let respondents disagree and share candid feedback.
Stripes have surveyed users from the start, but it's still early days. Our survey research team continues to refine how to equip any employee with the tools to draft and deploy surveys, while making sure users have a good experience completing them. The outcome we want is also an equilibrium: at once projecting Stripe—with a tone that's straightforward and warm—via the survey, while making it so frictionless that people share their feedback and then continue supporting their business.
The balance is challenging, but the reward is worth it.

Colorado Theater Massacre — Victims' Names Coming Out
The names of the victims of Friday's movie theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado are starting to be revealed.
A dozen people were killed when a man, believed to be James Holmes, walked into the theater and opened fire, killing a dozen people and injuring more than 50. The theater was packed with people watching a midnight screening of the highly-anticipated film 'The Dark Knight Rises.'
Among the victims identified:
- Veronica Moser, 6. Her mother, Ashley, 25, remains in critical condition and does not know her daughter has died.
- Jessica Ghawi, 24
- Alex Sullivan, 27
- Matt McQuinn, 27
- Micayla Medek, 23
- John Larimer, 27
- AJ Boik, age not specified
Holmes has been taken into custody. He reportedly purchased 6,000 rounds of ammunition on the internet in the weeks leading up to the shooting, as well as four guns at area stores — all of which police say he legally purchased.
