Fast Disclaimers Affect Buyer Behavior
Thursday, June 30, 2011
PHILADELPHIA (June 30, 2011) – Though disclaimers at the end of advertisements may appear to be an accepted white noise by audiences, new research published in the Journal of Consumer Research suggests that those disclaimers have a greater impact on buyer behavior than previously thought. The study, coauthored by David Allan, Ph.D., associate professor of marketing at Saint Joseph's University and peers at Northwestern and Wake Forest universities, finds that the speed at which the disclaimer is delivered can impact consumers' purchase intention toward viewers' trust in the untrusted (both trust unknown and untrusted) brands.
Quick, rambling statements at the close of commercial spots end most product advertisements heard on the radio or seen on television, whether the product featured is a food, pharmaceutical or consumer good. Most often a list of limits on special deals, terms and conditions, or the side effects of prescription drugs, disclaimers are there as a fast – sometimes very fast – summary of the important information buyers need before they make a purchase. But as necessary as the information is, marketers frequently restrict them to only four seconds of the typical ad's 30.
For well-known, trusted brands, the speed of the disclaimer doesn't have an impact, this study found. However, newer and unfamiliar brands without trust equity should be careful of their speed. The faster the disclaimer is recited, the more likely it is that consumers will view the brand as sneaky or untrustworthy, thereby affecting buyer behavior.
"Companies with new brands need to stop talking so fast and start listening to their consumers, not just their lawyers," says Allan. "Mile-a-minute disclaimers at the end of ads for familiar cars may not affect buyer behavior, but they potentially can in unfamiliar food and pharmaceutical commercials without brand trust."
The study, "On the Dangers of Pulling a Fast One: Advertisement Disclaimer Speed, Brand Trust and Purchase Intention," has the potential to impact both advertising and policy making. It is available online and will appear in the February 2012 edition of the Journal of Consumer Research.

Bursera Graveolens Palo Santo Incense Info
Bursera graveolens, known in Spanish as palo santo ("holy wood") is a tree that inhabits the coast of Ecuador. The tree belongs to the same family (Burseraceae) as frankincense and myrrh. It is widely used in folk medicine. Palo Santo is rich in terpenes such as limonene and α-terpineol.
The use of Palo Santo (or Palo Santo) from Bursera Graveolens is reported to be traditional in South America, especially in Ecuador. According to the local customs, it is used against the "mala energia" (bad energy) ("Palo Santo para limpiar tu casa de la mala energia, Palo Santo para la buena suerte" or "Palo Santo to clean your house of bad energy, Palo Santo for good luck").
The Palosanto (Bursera Graveolens) is a tree from the Ecuadorian dry forestes which was used by Chamans to cure many diseases; this is the reason why the Spanish that settled here call the tree "Santo".
Palo Santo (Bursera Graveolens) is an aromatic wood; Its smoke is used as a repellent to keep off mosquitoes, ants and other insects. It also cleans and help to remove the bad energy from the home, keep away evil spirits, induces meditation and spiritual search. The scent of Palo Santo is extremely soothing and transmits a powerful energy.
The Palosanto (Bursera Graveolens) is a tree from the Ecuadorian dry forests which was used by Chamans to cure many diseases; this is the reason why the Spanish that settled here call the tree "Santo". If we think of the body like a house where we live, we can take into consideration the ancient rituals based on Palo Santo as the ancient peoples lacked knowledge of illnesses which to them were all products of bad energy.
Incense made without harming the Palo Santo tree. We only process wood that has been found to have died naturaly in the forest. Tree grows for about 40 years and then dies. Then, it has to lay down for about 10 more years before we can process it.
Ten years ago it started an investigation about the history and properties of the Palo Santo tree located in Puerto Lopez County, in the Manabi Province. Nowadays, at that same place there's an interesting reforestation project taking place, which is trying to rescue the forgotten tradition of planting for tomorrow.
Unlike other species, the Palo Santo must fall by its own in order to extract the Palo Santo Essential oils and also get incense sticks which are used in aromatherapy . In this process not a single tree is cut down, doing so causes it to lose its properties. The wood that falls is what The Artisan PaloSanto EcuadorianHands uses to manufacture the products, and despite the fact that we don't deforest, we do feel the responsibility to return to nature those fallen trees.
We therefore support the Reforestation Project in Puerto Lopez, through a percentage of money generated by the sale of the products of Palo Santo, which is goes directly to the project. This funding enabled the creation of a greenhouse 6 years ago. Since then an estimated 40,000 trees have been planted. Many of these have been delivered to schools, colleges, institutions, Municipality of Puerto Lopez and even the Machalilla National Park, while the rest have given to people in a more individually way.
In addition to helping preserve the environment, the sale of Palo Santo has allowed the training of artisans who work in the whole process of production of the various items. There are about 25 people who receive a fair salary and claim to be happy with their work situation and committed to deliver a quality product.
The ultimate goal is to be able to create a forest of Palo Santo for everyone, which will generate oxygen and household work for the local people. Artisans are the ones who will execute the project and thus must continue their training and develop a culture of long-term preservation. All these activities are very important to secured the long-lasting supply of this natural Essential oil.
At the moment we are working on the paperwork and all the necessary permits to keep detailed records of all the advancements of the program. However, in the future customers who purchase Palo Santo products will be certain of their support to the environment through a satellite map which will show the places where the trees are being replanted.
What we have outlined here is a visionary project, the path is not easy, but it is important that we support the work of the craftsmen who still live in harmony with nature and take care of our only home, Earth.
And you? Are you ready to adopt a Palo Santo tree and contribute to the protection of the environment? Get Palo Santo Essential Oils and Incense products and make the difference!
Love Love Love
The natural aroma is outstanding... from the soap, essential oil, palo santo stick and even up to the box my purchase came in. If I could I would give this company 10 stars.

I had to try (gracie part 1)
In the fullness of life adjusting to our three-ring circus, I've never gone back to finish it, until now. I think I'll always love reading birth stories, so I hope you enjoy this one. It's long...so I'm doing it in two installments.
Here's Miss Rose's Story.
I always knew I didn't want my children too far apart. My brother and I are 18 months apart and before having children 18-24 months seemed like a great spread! But my mom was able to stay home full-time with us, and I am a working mom. When Miss Rose was 9 months old, I realized I'd have to get pregnant to have an 18-month spread--and that thought was absolutely crazy! If I was a stay at home mom, it would have been a different story.
When Miss Rose was around 2 we (I!) started planning our second child. I finally got Bean on board. He thought "one and done" was great. Typical man! When Miss Rose was 2.5 we got pregnant in our second month of trying. This pregnancy was definately different. I was pretty sick the first trimester.
I spent a lot of time reading and researching vaginal birth after c-section (VBAC). I was still disappointed that I had needed a c-section with Miss Rose because she was breech. I felt that I was a pretty good candidate for a VBAC as my c-section had not been related to problems with labor. I even switched doctors at 30-weeks in favor of a doctor who was more supportive of VBAC's and gave me better care.
One of the main risks of a VBAC is uterine rupture, where the uterus opens up at the point of the previous scar and can even tear beyond that. Initially, this situation is more dangerous for the baby than the mom. But most research I found said that if you went into labor on your own, the chances of this happening were 1%.
Going into this, I knew that I could not be induced, would not have my labor augmented and would require constant monitoring. The biggest factor in my deciding to try a VBAC was my faith in God. I knew there were risks involved, but I trusted God to lead me (and Bean) in our decisions. I trusted God to lead our doctor and nursing staff when the time came. And I determined to not be stubborn and trust the medical staff as well. Sure I wanted a vaginal delivery, but more importantly I wanted a healthy baby.
Because going into labor on my own was crucial to trying a VBAC, I did as much as I could to encourage my body. Starting around 37 weeks, I walked and bounced on an exercise ball, I got on my hands and knees and cleand floors, I did squats and lunges and I used Evening Primrose Oil. I did not try castor oil however!
I worked up until my due date, since I mostly sit at a desk. I had all my responsibilities covered though, as I waited for the baby to come. On my due date, April 4, 2007, I wasn't feeling very energetic and I decided to stay home. It was a Wednesday and at that point I was overseeing our Junior High Ministry and it was youth group night. Early in the day I thought I'd rest and go to youth group that night. In the afternoon though, I wasn't feeling great so I decided to stay home.
My sister-in-law was over for dinner that night and we were also sharing a house with my parents, so there were lots of people around. I remember while I was visiting with my sister-in-law that I was having a few contractions that caused me to catch my breath. She actually noticed and mentioned it to me, even though I was trying to minimize it--not wanting to get my hopes up.
I wasn't too hungry and the emptying of my bowels had begun. I decided to lay down in bed while the family ate dinner. Bean came in to check on me sometime after 6. I had a strong contraction just then, accompanied by a pinching feeling in my lady parts. Then a popping feeling and a small gush. I told Bean- "I think my water broke" and he froze.
I had to coach him to help me get out of the bed and get towels because as soon as I stood up, Niagra Falls proceeded to flow from me. He helped me to the bathroom, where the flow continued. Of course the house became frenetic as he quietly announced what was going on. We didn't want to alarm Miss Rose who was just over three years old. My contractions picked up in intensity and frequency.
Bean made a few necessary phone calls, including to the youth pastor I worked with, even though it was the middle of youth group. He happened to be making some announcements to the students and when he saw Bean was calling, decided to take the call. So all the students found out that our baby was on it's way!
Our good friend and my co-worker would come pick Miss Rose up a short time after we left. As we were leaving Bean ran into the house to grab an extra towel. When Miss Rose asked him what it was for he said "mama has a little juice coming out of her." While at our friend's house, Miss Rose decided to tell her 18-year-old son's friends that "my mama had juice coming out of her." Definately a story for the baby book!
And so we were off to the hospital....
Stay tuned.

Oh the suspense is killing me! Keep the story coming.ReplyDelete
I am cracking up so hard!!! Love this part:ReplyDelete
"accompanied by a pinching feeling in my lady parts" Ha Ha!!! I can't wait to read the rest!! Funny though because I was induced for my V-BAC and thankfully no problems arose. But man, I can tell you that I felt like I was going to die. Having Pitocin made my contractions 10x stronger and I could feel my scar being stretched. NOT fun. But I would do it again if I had to. (I had to be induced because the ONLY OB-GYN in our entire area that did V-BACS required inducing since she had to be in the hospital the entire time).
Oh, and love the part about Rose telling the boys about your juices :)

Jaimie, I was induced for my vbac as well, but had a catastrophic rupture as a result and my son died. I would DEF. NOT go that route again! It's just bad, bad practice, esp. for a vbac! I'm glad it went well for you though...ReplyDelete

The Phase Converter will artificially generate the third leg of a three phase system from the two poles of a single phase system. Static Converters are mostly used on equipment types that are free spinning, I,e, drill press, milling machines, saws, fans, hydraulic car lift, tire balancers, some small lathes can be converted by a Static. This is not a perfect transformation, but it does get the job done. Otherwise, a Rotary Converter will be necessary.
The output of the Rotary Phase Converter is closer to being a true 3-phase source that the Static Converter. This provides more power to the tool motor, and also brings it up a speed faster. The Rotary Converter is best served when you have a motor which is started and stopped frequently, and you need the full power of the motor. Furthermore, a single Rotary Converter can drive several different 3-phase tools, whereas a Static is built for a specific machine.

Well, it's here. The iPad is a real thing. And it's really boring.
Why is it boring? In the run-up to the announcement, we we're led to believe the Apple tablet would " redefine" newspapers, text books and magazines.
From the looks of it, that's just not true.
So what else is wrong in retrospect?
- Brian Marshall of Broadpoint AmTech blew it big time when he said it would "definitely" be on Verizon.
- Apple didn't end its AT&T exclusivity at all. In fact, it teamed up with AT&T alone for the iPad.
- It was not called the iSlate or iGuide. It is called the iPad, which surprised us.
- No camera. The Journal hinted a camera might recognize your face. A French telecom executive said there would be a camera on it.
- A source told Nick Bilton we'd be " very surprised how you interact with the new tablet." We just watched Steve Jobs interact with it, and there are no surprises.
- The price: Nobody saw $499 at the base-level. The range was $600-$1000.
- We didn't get any information about the iPhone 4G.
- There is no revolutionary pricing/packaging for the TV shows.
- With 100% certainty, Boy Genius promised a 7" version of the tablet.
- There is nothing special about typing. Patent applications indicated we'd see something radical.
- TechCrunch said it would have a Barnes & Noble bookstore in it. Instead we got the iBook store.

Battle Of The Champions! #1
The Set-Up:
"Why the hell am I here?" asks Eric Cartman.
"Yeah. I got this E-vite. At first I thought it was just one of those come. Sit through some stupid Time share meeting.
Free prize! But now I'm beginning to wonder. I GOT IT!" explains Peter Griffin.
"What?" asks Sub-Zero.
"It's a time share meeting and by sitting through it we get a free prize!" replies Peter.
"Uuh actually no!" A voice cuts in.
"Who are you!? Why have you called us here?" Asks Master chief.
"My name is Professor Xavier. I called you here because you are champions!" Says the man.
"Champions?" Peter asks.
"Yes. You see. For the past few months a website called "Friday Night Fights" has broadcasted fights on the web. When
you got into a fight. they were there. Some of you may have willingly gone with them." Explains Prof. X
"Hey. I remember doing a prank war back in April." Cartman says.
"Yes. Well Brad, David, and Riley, the men who created FNF, have paid me to host a battle of champions." Prof. X tells
them."Is there a prize?" Colonel sanders asks?
"Yes. First you will become a FNF Champion of Champions. Second. A new super-powered mutant has recently jopined my academy.
She has the power to grant wishes. The winner will recieve any one wish. No strings. Exactly what you want. But only one wish."
Prof. X explains. "But it is a fight to the death. Only one will emerge victorious. The rest will be...well dead!"
"Where will this be held?" Master Chief asks.
"In the Danger room. It is a computer controlled room full of automated weapons and such. You must fight each other while
being aware of the deadly weapons around you. If anyone wants to back away now you may." Prof X tells them.
"Any wish!? Like I could wish for millions and millions of dollars!? I'm in!" Cartman says.
"Hey. I personally KNOW death." peter says.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!!" the Predator yells.
"I've lived a good run. Besides! I could double my money and number of resturants!" The Colonel says.
"..." Jason Voorhees chimes in.
"Death is of no concern to me." Says Sub-Zero."..." Wilson shouts.
"I have dealt with much greater foes than these." Master Chief gloats.
"Good. Let's start." Prof. X says.
We decided to hold off on an 8-way comemntary because we don't feel like getting 5 extra people to do a commentary and
we're lazy.
THE FIGHT:Brad: Well I'm here to report
our biggest fight yet. The competitors are stepping in to the Danger Room. The Door behind them automatically closes.The
room lights up. Prof. X is saying something over a loud speaker.
Prof. X: I'm in the control room. It's time to start. Brad:
Machines and guns and blades come out of the walls. A Small Maze comes up from the ground in the back of the room.Prof.
X: Start!Brad: Immedietly they all run off in separate directions. Except for Wilson. He got kicked by
Sub-Zero. Wilson is soaring through the air. It knocks The Colonel down. Sanders falls into a pit of lava! Well now he knows
how it feels to be deep fried.Wilson's still alive though. Cartman comes by. Cartman: God. I'm
so tired. That fat retard keeps chasing me. I gotta sit down.Brad: Cartman sits on Wilson squishing the volleyball
flat. I suppose that counts as a kill. But hey. OH GOD HE FARTED! UUG! A heat seeking missile comes out of the wall and fires
at Cartman.
Missile: BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!!!!!!!!!!!Brad: The Methane catches fire. Fortuently for the other contestants they weren't near the explosion and the room is
metal.Let's check on Jason shall we? Jason draws out his machete while sneaking up on Sub-Zero. Sub-Zero turns
around and freezes Jason's body. Everything except his head. Sub-Zero pulls Jason's head off. With the spinal
cord dangling. Sub-Zero holds the spinal cord and spins around in circles. He lets go of Jason's head. It goes flying
in the air. Predator shoots it with his shoulder cannon. Jason won't be back till the sequel, that's for sure.That
leaves 4 contestants. Peter, Master Chief, Sub-Zero, and Predator. We haven't seen much of Master Chief. It appears
he's in the labyrinth stalking Peter. Something's coming out of the ground behind MC. It's a giant boulder!
It starts rolling towards the Chief! It'll crush him. MC starts running. He finds him self in a dead end. He's
dead. No wait. He shoots a whole through the wall. The boulder crashes through. Master Chief comes by Peter. MC Runs past
Peter while Peter has no clue what's going on. Peter looks. HE'S CRUSHED FLAT BY THE BOULDER!Well MC escaped
the labyrinth and boulder. Let's check on Predator. Predators fiddling with the different visions on his helmet. He
sees Sub-Zero in the distance. He fires the net and Sub-Zero. Zero turns around and freezes it. He holds out his fist and
it shatters. Zero sees Predator and tries to freeze him. Predator fires his shoulder cannon at the ice. The two fire at each
other constantly. Predator winds up frozen in a block of ice and Sub-Zero a bloody, firey, corpse.Master Chief plants
a time bomb on Predator's frozen ice block. MC steps back some. The Ice shatters. But predators ok. Predator throws
that chopper thing. MC shoots it. The two run at each other.________________________Final

_________________________________________________Other Lesser Comments:
Master Cheif is gunna dominate. Lets look at the facts, shall we?
Peter Griffin who is just a fat pig who cant fight.
The predator is just an elite, MC can easily take those out!
Cartman is just like peter, except smaller.
Jason cant fight AT ALLL!
Wilson is just a fish bowl, i think.....i dont know who wilson is
Sub-Zero, now this is a toughie, but MC could just dodge his freeze
attacks and stay back and shoot
Colonel-Sanders, please tell me this is a joke, MC against CS.(That
sounds like Halo V.S Counter-Strike, Halo, so wins.)-----J3553
J Dog- Ah! Come on! Peter Griffin is gonna win this one!!! Look,
I might have voted for Wilson, Sub Zero, Jason, & Predator (I voted for the losers Samus & Bart, & I didn't vote
in Sanders vs. Quaker Oats Guy), but he has this one in the bag. Think about it, he fought the legendary Giant Chicken TWICE!!!!
Plus, he battled aliens with his wife, captured Daggermouth, & mettled his "original" in a beer brawl over Gary Coleman.
I say, the Family Guy survives them all. But, if these factors prevail:
1)The Richard Simmons Robot is not here
2)Wilson is brought down first ("It's your turn to row, dumbass!")
3)Sub-Zero & Jason TKO each other in Mortal Kombat fashion
4)Eric gets caught in a Cheesy Poof fiasco
Then not only he will win, but goes all over his opponents, &
saying "Who's Your Daddy!!!"
Peter gets Master Cheif by a magnet,stabs Jason so he'll never return util the sequel,stabs Predator and Sub Zero
as well,pops Wilson with a pin, kicks Colonel Sanders in the weak spot, and gets Cartman wet so that he's all soggy. Peter
is the first ever BOC champion!-An Eskimo:Rock,rock on.
Peter Griffin all the way! Seriously, you cant kill a toon, but, Peter can probably flatten the opposition (except
for Cartman, but he gets lured away with food anyway, and Jason, but thats okay, because he has the urge to kill some teenagers,
so he goes to a camp) Anyway, after Peter's victory, he wishes for his theme song back, I mean, who wouldnt want that theme
music, its killer.-Wateva
_________________________________Ok, so I am supporting Master Chief on this
one. He has fought people somewhat like Predator already and hen has cool armor that can withstand Jason's machete. Plus he
has a plasma sword or a "Noob Stick" which could kill Jason repeatedly. Sub zero is no problem at all just a couple shots
and he is dead. As for all the others they have no chance at all there are two fat guys one fat kid and a volleyball. -Riley

with the people who couldn't survive the Danger room alone without the opponents.
Cartman - He's a fat 9 year old. He's slow. He'll
be an easy target for heat seeking missiles and such. (And he gives off a LOT of heat.)
Peter - Peter, like Cartman is fat. Now he's fat but not fast.
(Unlike Fat Albert.) He will probably be taken down by automated spikes Or The Predator.
Wilson - He's an inanimate Volleyball. Cartman will probably
sit on him first thing from exhaustion from walking into the room.
Sanders - He's old. Somebody could throw Wilson at his head
and kill him! Knock him down. He won't be able to get up. Jason or Predator will walk on him and kill him.
Now for the folks who could win.
Sub-Zero - He can freeze automated weapons and opponents. Unfortunately
Predator will get him with his shoulder cannon.
Jason - Despite his reanimation the way to kill (for the time being)
is to dismember him. So Master Chief and Predator throw all the ammo they got at him till he explodes.
Now it just comes down to Master Chief and Predator.
The two fight. Avoiding and destroying all automated weapons that
the Danger room attacks them with. But Finally Master Chief over powers Predator. He is about to kill The Predator as The
Predator sets his bomb that he sets whenever he will lose. It is set. Master Chief kill Predator.
Master Chief Leaves The Danger Room and is about to wish to be the
most powerful being ever when the bomb goes off, destroying everything and everybody within 73 square miles. Master chief
is the winner. But in the end they all die.- Brad_____________________________________The Master Cheif has all of his competitors strenghs and none of their weaknesses. Once again,
hail to the Chief.- Mr. Psychosis
________________________________J Dog's Alternate Comment!:
Dude. I was the one who suggested this battle! And the eight greatest champs will partake in this match. Here is
how the fight goes: Colonel Sanders will use a giant scythe (probably to kill all of them chickens from South Park), but the
MC blows him away. Cartman grabs a shotgun & blows the MC away. Wilson will just stare at them, so Jason cuts the ball
back into synthetic crap. That leaves Eric, Predator, Jason, Peter, & Zero. Peter Griffin will call for his assistants
(Homer, a cat called Uckman, Goku, Coop, & a boy named Jackson Stallwall) & use the Twelve Swords of Power (see http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?p=1580852#post1580852
for more). Using Wayfinder, Coop slices through Zero while looking for a cheesesteak. Then Uckman & Goku combine energy
attacks to prey on the Predator. Eric & Jack will go into the third floor of WWWF Towers (now FNF Towers). "You're gonna
die, ***hole!" Cartman tels Jack. "Really?" He responds. Jack then turns into "Thor Mode" & slaughters Eric in a Kenny-like
fashion. Then, in a suprising turn of events, Jason tries to slice at Homer. But Homer has the Shieldbreaker. So what does
our favorite lummock do??? He uses the sword to slice into Jason's skull, giving him a 10th death. So, in the pile of corpses,
Peter wins. But he does give the other five consolation gifts: A lifetime supply of KFC chicken!!! - J Dog

Eminem at V Festival 2011 – full gig report and setlist
Who: Eminem
Where and when: Weston Park, Main Stage, Saturday 20 August.
Eminem at V Festival – full gig report and setlist
Vibe: Steely and determined. Eminem's back and he's razor-sharp baby after the disappointment of 'Relapse', and he's out to prove it with a fiercely disciplined set.
Best bit: A tie between 'Kill You''s gleeful nursery-rhyme psychosis, and the always-inspirational 'Lose Yourself', delivered as the encore.
Low point: 'I Need A Doctor', which is frankly dreadful with or without Dre's medical attention.
Banter: Em shouts out to all the people who've had 'beef with their parents', been in 'dysfunctional relationships' and 'dedicated hip hop fans'.
Verdict: You're kidding, right? Eminem absolutely killed it, son.
Verdict: 9/10

The very first project I had an opportunity to observe at close quarters ran into very serious trouble. What should have been a relatively simple software development project (it was planned as 6 months in duration with a team of 6 people), turned into an 18-month slog in which much of the original design had to be scrapped and the code rewritten because it didn't work properly. Although the project did eventually end (after an extended period of post production release bug fixing) the problems encountered were all fully avoidable.
As a fresh graduate recruit more than 20 years ago, that project was a real eye opener to me. The problems the project encountered sparked in me an interest in the causes of project failure and what it takes to make a project a success. That interest has stayed with me throughout my career and is what led me a few years ago into switching from being a 20+ year veteran of Project Management into becoming an educator and researcher.
Since that first project, I've found that project failure is far more common than I thought when I was a fresh graduate recruit. As my career developed I've witnessed a number of failures up close and have meet hundreds of people who have had the same experiences. In fact in class when I ask how many people have witnessed or participated in a troubled project, pretty much everyone with any significant work experiences puts up their hand.
Each one of those hands represents money wasted, time lost and opportunity squandered. Add that up globally and we are talking about hundreds of billions of dollars annually. Just a small improvement in success rates could be a very major contributor to the global economy.
As a contribution to improving the situation I use this website as a support reference for the training I provide my students. Open to the public as well, the site is intended to act as a platform for discussion and a vehicle for raising awareness of the causes of project failure. I hope you will find it useful and am open to feedback.

If you are an academic institution interested in joining the group of universities who license my online classes please contact me using the form at the end of this page.

The Gospel According to Disney's "Frozen"
In Disney's most recent animation production of Frozen, much can be gleamed from this simple yet profound story. Similar to Disney's previous hit, Tangled, Frozen shares a more complex story line than traditional animated fare. The story centers on two sisters, princesses really, Elsa the older and Anna the younger. Elsa has a unique skill in that she can create her own winter wonderland in her bedroom.

Diarrhoea is one of the most common illnesses in chickens. You can see your chicken has diarrhoea when you notice watery, loose droppings that are a white, yellow or greenish colour. Your chicken's environment and diet can contribute to diarrhoea, but some simple remedies can get rid of diarrhoea and can help prevent it.
Environment and diet
You must surround your chicken with the proper environment to prevent and cure diarrhoea. Poor environments with cold, damp and dirty surroundings can cause diarrhoea. Unclean food is a risk factor also. Be sure to clean your chicken's home often, and be careful not to overcrowd your animals.
When your chicken has diarrhoea, give it a warm and dry place to rest until it is well again. Isolate the sick chicken from the rest of the flock to stop the spread of the illness.
Your chicken's diet can also play a role in its bout with diarrhoea. Be sure you are not providing your chickens the wrong foods. Chocolate, large servings of meat, raw potato skins, citrus fruits, bones, avocado skins and pits, spoiled meat and long-cut grass can all cause digestive problems in chickens.
There are several remedies to cure your chicken's diarrhoea.
Mother Earth News recommends giving your chicken a potassium permanganate solution to drink. Dissolve 1 tablespoon of the chemical in 1 litre (1 quart) of warm water. Feed each chicken 1 tablespoon of the concentrated solution diluted in 237 ml (1 cup) of warm water. In a case of severe diarrhoea you may need a stronger solution, one that is potent enough to turn your finger slightly brown when you dip it in the liquid. Be sure to not keep the potassium permanganate mixture in a metal container.
Another remedy is Epsom salts. Add 1/2 tablespoon of Epsom salts to the affected chicken's feed. You can also feed your diarrhoea-afflicted chicken wheat bran moistened with sour milk or buttermilk.
If diarrhoea keeps occurring despite all your attempts to alleviate it, take your chicken to the vet. Your bird could have a serious illness that requires medical treatment.

COL Jeffrey Hutchinson (B4) '89, Chief of Adolescent Medicine at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, M.D., will receive the Medical Leadership Award during the 26th annual Black Engineer of the Year Award STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) Conference Technology Career Fair and Expo.
Hutchinson oversees the direct care of more than 2,000 patients, mostly between the ages of 13 and 25, in his current post at Walter Reed. And without his strong science background, Hutchinson wouldn't be able to do what he thoroughly enjoys doing.
"Walter Reed is a Department of Defense facility, where we treat those that are retired, about to be retired and their children," Hutchinson said. "But people don't realize that almost half of those currently enlisted are under 35, and that's the group that I consult on.
"That's the reason I even got into adolescent medicine," Hutchinson continued. "To reach kids that are right on the cusp of becoming adults — and I also deal with kids that may have made some bad decisions — but a bad decision at 14 is much different than a lifetime of bad decisions at 45."
Way to go, Jeff. Read more details in the Philly Tribune's article.

Why Use 'KIM' admixture?
Trying to decide which type of waterproofing to use for your next new basement project?
The selection you make on 'waterproofing your basement' will have a lasting effect, and needs careful consideration as you only have one opportunity to get it right!
Some companies offer options in the way of bentonite or synthetic sheet membranes. The traditional membrane is installed prior to the placement of steel and concrete, and is a time consuming exercise. This also leaves the membrane exposed to inclement weather and damage from other trades. Be aware that some of these sheet membranes are cheap, low quality imports from China or India which are unreliable.
Generally speaking a sheet membrane turns your basement into a 'bucket' to prevent the ingress of water, but what if this bucket is not formed properly or is incomplete?
Our integral crystalline waterproofing technology consisting of Krystol Internal Membrane (KIM) concrete admixture has the advantage of being a self-sealing system that transforms concrete into a powerful waterproof barrier, providing a number of key benefits over blindside sheet systems:
1. Self-seals hairline cracks minimum 0.5mm (tested to 0.6mm)
2. Leading project specific warranty period of Twenty Five (25) years
3. Effective against hydrostatic pressure – (140m) of head pressure
4. Lower the cost of waterproofing by up to 40% – i.e. no need for blinding slabs
5. Shave weeks off the construction schedule – no waiting time on installation
6. Reduce the cost of maintenance and repairs
7. Easy to apply and reduces potential for human error
8. Impervious to physical damage and deterioration – protects the concrete on all surfaces
9. Certified non-toxic and safe for potable water – NSF approved
Using KIM concrete admixture works where other systems fail to eliminate leaks and water damage, as the diagram shows below that KIM will protect your concrete in its entirety.
Depending on your type of basement construction, Krystol Internal Membrane (KIM) can be configured to suit most construction methods.
For further information and specifications on using Krystol Internal Membrane (KIM) for your next basement, please contact us on 02 9524 6688 or email@example.com

The Cotton On Skirt That Australia Is Obsessing Over
If you, your aunt and 16-year-old cousin are wearing the same silk skirt this Christmas Day, it'll probably be this one...
Silk skirts are flying out the doors of the designer section of The Iconic, but at what cost? From $200-500, they are not cheap! There must be an alternative?
Cotton On has replicated the iconic silk skirt look for just $35!
Cotton On's $34.95 skirt is available in various colours and patterns including leopard print, polka dot, olive green and rusty orange. Let us assure you - they are almost identical to the branded silk skirt that'll set you back hundreds of dollars.
"Move and groove in the Woven Belle Bias Midi skirt," the Cotton On website reads. "A sleek, flowy design, pair this midi with your fave crop and a pair of sneakers for a look that goes wherever you do."
Not only are they super flattering, but its high rise waistline adds an additional level of comfort.

"Nabbed the last one at the Chatswood store and I can see why it's been a bestseller. The satin material is thicker than what you'd usually get for this price point and doesn't cling with static," wrote budget blogger, Tina Abeysekara.
However, the super popular skirt is flying off the shelves in Cotton On stores and online ahead of the Christmas rush.
Whether you're heading off to a casual brunch with friends or a work meeting, the skirt's versatility is one of its strongest assets, with one Instagram user saying they will "recycle for work with a black top and black or tan heels."

We don't know about you, but we've just found our go-to Summer skirt!

Change is often needed, but feared at the same time. Change involves risk, and humans are naturally risk-averse. Marketing involves convincing prospects that a change of behaviour is beneficial and as risk-free as possible.
This is the challenge, whether you're operating a bed and breakfast, a restaurant, a retail store, a factory or a consulting firm. Potential customers want to be assured their needs will be met if they choose you. Fortunately, despite the challenges, there are opportunities, especially when marketing online.
One of the best things about marketing online is that you're not limited by space or time. If you have the time, you can write an essay about anything related to your business. As for space, how long is a webpage? Exactly. You can write for hours about the thread count of the sheets on your beds or the uniqueness of your family's secret souvlaki recipe. If you meet a prospect's needs by doing so, then you're on your way to gaining a customer.
This is why you've heard the phrase "content is king" since the dawn of the world wide web. Content is indeed king, and it's fundamental to your ability to market your business online. Feel free to write about anything that's related to your business. Moreover, do it often. If you can be creative about it, even better.
Content is really important for Search Engine Optimization (SEO). I always remind customers that if they're not going to hire an SEO specialist, then they have to write content that addresses the needs and queries of their prospects. Creating content for your website gives you a new page for search engines to spider, something new to share on social media and more opportunities to get noticed. You can't expect Google or other search engines to send your small, static website loads of prospects, even if you're exceptionally well-known for something.
Part of the strategy involved in content marketing is to write about a broad range of topics related to your business so you demonstrate your expertise, knowledge and personality to your target audience. I think one's personality is just as important as one's expertise. By sharing your unique perspectives and insights with customers and prospects you educate, create rapport, and build trust. After all, people are going to have to deal with you - so giving them an idea what you are like to work with is important!
Perhaps the most important thing to remember is that often, there is no "one thing" that will convince someone to change. You need to provide lots of reasons for people to change their existing behaviours, whether it's staying in hotels versus bed and breakfasts or buying from another supplier instead of you. Building a library of content on your website that is shared on your social media platforms is an approach that can help convince prospects to choose you the next time the opportunity arises. Without that content, you stand to miss a lot of opportunities for getting noticed and getting new customers through the door.

Balm of Gilead infused oil is made by infusing the buds and twigs of the Balsam Poplar tree (Populus balsamifera) in olive oil . . . three times!
The buds and twigs infuse in the oil for a few weeks, then are removed and replaced with fresh buds and twigs two more times.
It isn't as well known as Trauma Oil, which is another carrier oil infused with herbs. (Trauma Oil is arnica, St. John's wort, and calendula infused in a carrier—usually olive oil.) But Balm of Gilead infused oil can be wonderful for sore muscles and joints, deep tissue pain, and to help reduce inflammation.

Jon Dawson reviews 'Grace/Confusion' by Memory Tapes and 'At Carnegie Hall' by the Dave Brubeck Quartet
New album: Grace/Confusion
Artist: Memory Tapes
Label: Carpark Records
Rating: 4 stars out of 5
The latest full-length release from Memory Tapes (the working name of multi-instrumentalist Dayve Hawk) expands on the textured dream-pop that has garnered the act a loyal cult following over the last four years.
The Chris Isaak/Depeche Mode hybrid �Neighborhood Watch� that opens the album sets a wintry yet cheerful mood. Set against what sounds like shaker through the snow, Hawk�s soaring vocals take on a cinematic scope. The track is a stripped down, uncluttered affair, but the sum of its parts adds up to what Phil Spector might have achieved in 2012 if he hadn�t been out of his mind.
The �80s-inflected pop that Memory Tapes are known for comes to the fore on �Thru the Field,� which is a pleasant enough track but is almost jarring when compared to the subtle perfection of �Neighborhood Watch.� This is a minor quibble since Hawk�s gets points for trying to keep things interesting. �Thru the Field� is earnest enough but it comes off as an ironic take on the more self-aware moments of M83 or Animal Collective.
�Safety� and �Let Me Be� pull the album back into the organic, natural flow of the opening track. �Safety,� along with the dorky-but-right �Sheila,� both clock in around the 8-minute mark, which is usually unheard of in the world of electronic pop music. This prog approach to a sometimes disposable songwriting genre gives the songs time to build momentum and create mini-movies for the listener to get pulled into.
One thing Memory Tapes has going for it over the similarly-minded Animal Collective is an ability to separate the good from the garbage. Many would argue part of the fun is making it through the difficult material to eventually be rewarded with a few nuggets of coherent work, while others would say it�s a lazy way to break up the monotony of an inflexible sound.
With Grace/Confusion, Hawk has found a way to express ideas that are too big for the 3-minute pop song. His evolution has been gradual but rewarding, nonetheless.
Classic album: At Carnegie Hall
Artist: Dave Brubeck Quartet
Label: Columbia/Sony
Rating: 5 stars out of 5
When �At Carnegie Hall� was recorded in 1963, the Dave Brubeck Quartet was at the height of its powers. Four years onfrom the pop success of the �Time Out� LP, one of the all-time great jazz groups decided to commit one of its legendary live shows to tape.
Some jazz purists idiotically denounced the DBQ as a pop act, but after listening to the Herculean group interplay on these live versions of �Blue Rondo a la Turk,� �It�s a Raggy Waltz� and �Eleven Four� renders any detractors mute. For goodness sakes, �Blue Rondo...� was so ahead of its time that Emerson, Lake and Palmer�s version recorded roughly a decade later is (except for the amplification) identical.
The group captured on �At Carnegie Hall� is the quintessential DBQ lineup: Dave Brubeck (piano), Paul Desmond (saxophone), Eugene Wright (bass) and Joe Morello (drums). There is no greater sound in jazz or any other type of music than the combination of Brubeck�s massive, melodic chord work meshed with the exotic, airy alto sax of Paul Desmond. Just listen to the accessible but mysterious melodic groove of �Take Five� to hear this band�s masterful blend of innovation and digestibility.
The Dave Brubeck Quartet has served as a gateway drug into jazz for many avowed non-jazz fans. �At Carnegie Hall� isn�t just a bunch of musos trying to out-solo one another, but rather it�s the sound of a band working with and off of one another. The innovations these four musicians made under the umbrella of jazz rank neck and neck with the stylistic innovations of John Coltrane, Miles Davis and Charlie Parker. �At Carnegie Hall� may not turn you into a jazz fan, but it will turn you into a Dave Brubeck Quartet fan.
