In this Webcast, Eric Schaffer and Susan Weinschenk explore how the institutionalization of usability has evolved beyond classic usability, significantly contributing to conversions, revenue, and market share, making it an essential component of overall organizational strategy.

Who are we designing for? The generational dilemmaWho are you designing your website for? Companies are often challenged with designing for at least 3 demographics with different needs, interests, and ways of interacting with technology:
Ironically, Generation X is the smallest population segment but often the one responsible for designing most websites. It's rare to have the luxury of focusing on only one age group, though. So understanding generational differences is a key to creating sites that are usable, persuasive, and engaging. HFI has been conducting exploratory research about the impact of generational differences on Web design. Susan and Katie examine each group's tendencies, attitudes, and expectations towards technology. They share findings, ideas, and examples describing similarities and differences between the groups and offer thought-provoking takeaways for user experience design.

Why usability is no longer enough: The need for Persuasion, Emotion, & Trust (PET Design™)The next wave of the information age is about designing for persuasion, emotion, and trust (PET Design™). You still need good usability – if people can't find something they can't be persuaded by it – but soon usability will no longer be the key differentiator it has been. It's often not enough to design a website that is easy to navigate, understand, and transact on. Just because people can do something doesn't ensure that they will. The future of design is about creating engagement and commitment to meet measurable business goals. Whether your site is e-commerce, informational, or transactional, you must motivate people to make decisions that lead to conversion. This could be getting people to:
The interactive online environment offers far more opportunities to influence decision making than traditional advertising or marketing channels. Yet understanding people's subtle emotional triggers requires a rigorous set of new techniques, the results of which can even conflict with classic usability best practices. This webcast offers a strategic overview of the science of persuasion, based on HFI's new PET Design methodology.

Benedikt (Beni) Linder has been the head physical coach for Swiss Tennis since 2005 and before that worked as a freelance physical coach in a range of sports such as Badminton, motor cross, swimming, formula one and tennis. Pierre Paganini (Roger Federer's trainer for the past 10 years) was his mentor before he took over as head coach at Swiss tennis.
I was one of three people observing the day to day sessions at Swiss Tennis. The other two coaches were from Syria and Lithuania. This is the first time Swiss Tennis has opened its doors to professionals from other countries. Their courses and training is usually only open to Swiss coaches.
The Swiss Federation is the headquarters for Swiss Tennis but they have 15 partner academies around the country that all have their own head coach and physical coach. All of these academies work on a system distributed from Swiss tennis so there is easy transfer of players and coaches around the country and excellent continuity within the system. They have three tiers of players which they consider to be the national team and they are based around the country. This is a group of approx. 60 athletes.
The major areas of discussion and learning during my visit centred around the following areas:
"Oriented Training" this is physical training of the conditional abilities and physical factors with similar movements to the game. This is the attention to detail within tennis movement that needs to be emphasised during training. This training can be done through all physical components such as speed, strength, endurance, flexibility and coordination. I found this concept particularly valuable because I always find myself in discussions with coaches about making the training "more specific ". I gained a wealth of knowledge in more orientated training which has helped me to broaden my physical training expertise for tennis.
60-100% vs 80% training principle. Although this is not a new concept I have found that it is very common for groups to get into a routine of certain intensity in their physical sessions. Training at 80% does not allow for effective explosive training. In a sport like tennis this is vital. The polarised training principle that applies to endurance sports is also a valuable tool when training explosive intermittent sports.
The complexity of speed, agility and quickness training is so extensive that one can spend the majority of time focusing in this area. It can and should be broken down into many parts which can be worked on specifically as well as working on all inclusive/complex speed which is a more general approach.
Planning in the modern tennis calendar is a complex process. This can only be effective and practical if it is done for each individual and it is a dynamic process that has to be able to change from day to day.
The whole trip was also very reassuring in that my current training methods are accurate and also used by the best in the world! I had the pleasure of listening to stories told by close friends of Roger Federer and people that have worked with him during his career. The friendships made in Switzerland are ones of a long term nature and they have extended a continuous invitation for the future. With this experience and increased knowledge from a tennis specific perspective I feel that this trip has played a big role in improving and growing myself as tennis strength and conditioning expert within Africa.
A big thank you to Prof Kruger and the ISR for helping me to fulfil this opportunity.

CMS Still Hires Teacher Despite Criminal RecordCHARLOTTE, N.C. - Kristina Ngum, the 43-year-old educator who specializes in teaching disabled children is charged with sexual activity with a 17-year-old male student. Detectives say the incident happened off school property. Court records show it happened in December but the police report says it happened in May. Ngum was hired by the district in March 2012. Before that, she was arrested in July 2011 for fraud and larceny. The fraud charge was dismissed. She pleaded guilty to larceny and paid a fine. In 2008, she pleaded guilty to driving while impaired. In 2009, Ngum was charged with driving with a revoked license. In 2010, she was charged with the same offense. In 2011, she was charged twice with driving with a revoked license. Over the past five years, she's had three substantial speeding tickets. All this before CMS hired her. Under their own policy, fraud, larceny and DWI can eliminate a candidate from being hired. It's unclear why the district decided to hire Ngum. The district's superintendent was not available Monday. We're told he won't be available to answer our questions until Wednesday. Ngum's history also includes two charges of driving without insurance. Her Mint Hill neighbors tell us she and her family are good people. One man says he "can't believe" the sex charge she faces. |

Long Island Memories
School Boord Says No To Werner Attempt To Show Film Strip The District # 22 Board of Ecfci-cation on Monday evening refused permission to Edward Werner of 178 West Drive, North Massapequa, to show a film strip on what Werner termed a " Marxist book" that is being used in another school distiict. Werner, a member of the John Birch Society, at a recent school meeting charged die school board of allowing certain " Marxist books" to be used in die curriculum. Trustee Bernard Lang, as well as odier board members, had challenged Werner to come up with proof to back up his statement. At Monday's meeting, Werner claimed diat since he was accused of being a ' liar' publicly, he would like to now defend himself by showing die film, which would take about 15 minutes. School Board President, Mrs. Lucile Goulding said that she would want to review the film first and find out whether it had any bearing on mis school district. Werner admitted that it didn't. He said that one Marxist book, " The Social Setting of Intolerance" was being used in the lldi grade Social Studies classes in Farming-dale. When queried whether the film strip referred to mis book, he again replied ' no,' but asked, " Are You going to deny me the right to show this?" Trustee Lang said diat die issue which prompted die discussion was not a personal one. The Board, he stated, had demonstrated a high quality of patriotism to the community and its children, and he would take umbrage at any Marxist text book in the school system. Lang dien publicly apolighized calling Werner a ' liar'. for Carl E. Gorton, a Farmingdale Public Library Board Trustee and a member of die John Birch Society, dien suggested diat die film could be shown at die end of die meeting for those interested, as well as members of die Board. Mrs. Goulding said that Werner had been given die opportunity to prove his charges. Gorton said diat tins subject was more important man die buildings for school children. Lang explained diat the board business meeting should not be a forum for Werner, Gorton or die John Birch Society and should concern itself witii the school district, not odier sections of the country. Propose Plan For Aiding Disabled Employees Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Michael N. Petito tiiis week submitted a report to the Town Board outlining suggested procedures for enabling Town employees, disabled while performing work for the Town, to be r e located in less strenuous Town employment. In December Petito suggested ^ hat some method be found whereby Town employees, who had been injured or disabled while performing tiieir jobs, could be r e located within the Town employment structure. The Board asked him to submit a report. In die report Petito said that while many Town Departments have had disabled employees in the past, the Department witiithe greatest problem in tiiis regard is the Department of Sanitary Services, Sanitation Division " because of die vigorous nature of the duties of sanitation men." The report cites 18 men in Uie division currently on die disabled l i s t ; many of them permanently. Under die Petito proposal the - Town would fitthese men into less strenuous jobs available i i odier Town Departments even though some of the jobs may not pay as mycli. " Even if die employee accepts a position at a lower salary," Petito said, " he is far better off than if he were dropped completely. Workman's Compensation would take care of die difference for a period of time and die employee would at least know he would not face any days of unemployment," Petito stated. The Supervisor said his plan would also save the Town money in that its Workmen's Compensation insurance rates would be lower because compe tsation payments would be kept down on em-plrv-? es who were transferred radier than dropped completely because of physical disability. Town Adopts Conservation Plan The Town Board this week adopted a Conservation Plan setting forth new goals and objectives to be attained to preserve and protect the Town's natural resources and scenic beauty. Features of the conservation plan provide the Town with a vehicle to enable it to make adequate provision for the protection of wetlands, shorelines, open - spaces, fish, wildlife and dieir habitat, as well as Dre-vention and abatement of air and water pollution. The plan provides for cooperation widi state, federal and other local subdivisions of government, private individuals and organization in the acquisition and donation of lands and waters. It also permits the Town to make use of advantages offered by the Bureau of Sport, Fisheries and Wildlife under the provisions of die Migratory Bird Conservation Act. Property owners whose lands or waters qualify for protection under the Bird Migratory Conservation Act can also take advantage of die plan. Board Majority Leader Ralph J. Marino, said, " Adoption of the Conservation Plan is a prerequisite to any formal agreement that may be entered into between the Town and the Department of the Interior to preserve the North Shore wetlands. The Town Attorney is now reviewing die proposed agreement between die Department of the Interior and die Town and I am hopeful that it will come before the Town Board within the next few weeks for action." " Under the plan," Marino added, " the Town in the near future will also establish a Department of Conservation and Waterways and a Conservation Advisory Council to assist in carrying out the over- allpro-gram." The Conservation Plan includes: an inventory and record of all the significant, natural and cultural features of Uie Town; a program of open- spaced, recreational, greenbelt, and historic landmark acquisition and protection, and ways and means of implementing such program, giving special emphasis to die protection of the Town's principal water courses, water sheds, d r a i n a g e areas, wetlands, marshes, ponds, shoreline and woodlands, and significant examples of die historical and cul- New Service Boon To Researchers Within six months, any researcher in Nassau and Suffolk counties will be able to tell what periodicals are available to him and where tiiey are located in die Long Island area. The Council, a non- profit educational corporation formed to advance library reference and research resources on Long Island, has contracted for a Union List of Periodicals to be produced by the Suffolk Cooperative Library System. The Union List of Periodicals, in one bound volume will show die tides, volumes, dates and die holding and circulation policies of die approximately 10,000 periodicals, journals, magazines and newspapers neld in all college, university, public and special libraries in Nassau and Suffolk counties. Periodicals are, perhaps die only consistent source of current information in most areas of research and researchers have long been hampered by die lack of information as to where tiieir needed periodicals can be located. The Long Island Library Resources Council, Inc. membership consists of 42 of die largest college, ' university, public and special libraries in Nassau and Suffolk counties. A formal survey of Long Island's reference needs will be completed in late January. This study has been undertaken by the New York City consulting firm. Propose Local Commissions To Handle Zoning Matters County Executive Eugene H. Nickerson has offered a plan to die State's legislators which would " take zoning out of politics, rather than just making it more difficult for political zoning to be dishonest." At a public hearing of die Joint Legislative Committee to Study and Recodify Town Law, Nickerson proposed the creation of nonpartisan local commissions to handle all local zoning matters. • 1 urge,* said Nickerson, " that you consider legislation to require that all local zoning matters be dealt with by local commissions specifically constituted for diat purpose; tiiat die members of such commissions be appointed on a non- partisan basis and prohibited from engaging in political activities; and tiiat r e quirements be established to ensure that die members of these c o m m i s s ions have adequate training in die field of land planning and use." Nickerson called attention to the fact that he has proposed to the Bi- Counly Regional Planning Board that a means be established for taking die huge profits out of spot zoning windfalls by returning at least 50 per cent of die excess profits to the taxpayers. In urging tiiat the legislators " take basic action and notdabble around at the edges," Nickerson s a i d : " The possibility of collusion between officials and speculators still exists in many areas in our state, including Nassau and Suffolk, and such conspiracies between speculators and silent political partners may continue to exist until we change the nature of the system itself." tural heritage of the Town; a fish and wildlife plan which shall identify die fish and wildlife species located in the Town and their habitat, and the impact upon such fish and wildlife resources of present and future land and water use, and recommendations for the management and enhancement of such fish and wildlife resources; a comprehensive plan of beautification of the Town and recommendations as to how needeJ growth an J development of the Town can be harmonized with its natural environment.

Sounds to me like a bad control board but make sure the wires are all well connected
hello all, i upgraded to a fleck 5600 econominder and have been happy for the last year, but it stopped working about a month ago. timer appears to not be keeping time at all and it won't manually regen. i replaced the timer motor and nothing changed. is there a way to check the transformer other than looking at the green light thats on it? thanks, chris
Sounds to me like a bad control board but make sure the wires are all well connected
[B]No, plumbing ain't rocket science. Unlike rocket science, plumbing requires a license[B]
the only wires are the timer and the transformer, right?
A digital volt meter is the correct way to check the transformer. Any common 24 v transfromer will work on that system, even a door bell transfromer, as long as it is 24VAC output. It should be able to supply 300mA. The led light is worthless, you have to check the actual output of the transformer. The motor has a tiny clear window on it as well that you can see if the motor has power, or you can put your ear to the valve and you will hear the motor turning. I assume you are referring to the actual 5600 econominder, the old school electro mechanical valve, no electronics.

yes, the only wires i can find involve the timer motor. i hear and see nothing on either of the timers i have,. i will check for 300mA, thansk
Sounds like a bad transformer. look for a standard transformer, home depot or lowes should have them. 24VAC, 300mA or more mA will work fine.
How to rebuild a softener http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YkJS...ature=youtu.be
Disregard my post. Wrong forum. I probably had a dozen windows open at the same time. This iPad is a pita lol
Yes, transformer is probably bad.
[B]No, plumbing ain't rocket science. Unlike rocket science, plumbing requires a license[B]
Actually, for this application the cheapest analog voltmeter in the world (often free) will work just fine to check for 24VAC. Something more exotic will be needed for measuring the current, since an AC current capability is rarely built in to a VOM, even a high-end device. They usually require an external current clamp-on adapter, and they're usually intended for higher-current applications. Measuring a small AC current is a very unusual application, judging from the availability of instruments to do it. I have an old Amprobe RS-2 which could do that; it's a clamp-on instrument, with an attachment to multiply the native 0-6A scale to 0-0.6A.The equivalent package today can be had for about $140. If I didn't have that, and I had to measure 300ma, I'd probably buy a 0-1A panel meter (under $10).

Public opinion about the death penalty has changed only modestly in recent years, but there continues to be far less support for the death penalty than there was in the mid-1990s.
A survey by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press and the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, conducted Nov. 9-14, 2011, among 2,001 adults, finds that 62% favor the death penalty for people convicted of murder while 31% are opposed. That is generally in line with polling on the death penalty over the past several years.
During the mid-1990s, when the Pew Research Center first surveyed on this issue, support for the death penalty was at a historic high point. In 1996, 78% favored capital punishment for people convicted of murder. Support for the death penalty subsequently declined, falling to 66% in 2001 and 62% in late 2005. Since then, support has mostly remained in the low-to-mid-60s, though it dipped slightly (to 58%) in October 2011.
Read the full report, Continued Majority Support for Death Penalty, on the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press' Web site.

Get two, because everyone you know will start begging for one of their own!
I'm a fan of all the Dr. Hauschka products, but this is probably my second favorite (after the amazing Cleansing Cream)--it smells lovely, feels great and works perfectly to protect healthy lips or heal dry or damaged ones. My husband tried it recently after asking me if I had anything for chapped lips and then sheepishly asked if he could have one for his office the next morning--this is a big step up from drugstore chapstick! My mom had the same reaction after a similar incident and I also gave out several of these as small gifts for the holidays to rave reviews. I use it every morning and find that it's perfect before bed, too--in addition to all of its other wonderful qualities, it's very kissable! ;-p
By kerrie on December 10, 2013
great for the cold weather
this is a great chap stick, it dosent feel like wax and it tastes nice. It stays on and your lips feel protected
By cbn on December 10, 2013
best lip treatment out there
i have used this product for many, many years. It isn't always available so I have had to try other things which never compare as far as keeping my lips soft and conditioned. It doesn't dry your lips out like other lip balms do over time.
By Pat on October 17, 2013
Wonderful product!
First bought this at a health food store in Atlanta, Ga. Was surprised that after a few times using it no longer had chapped lips! I even bought some for my teenage sons who snow board/ski and have trouble with chapped lips! My sons never use the chapped lip balms carried at regular chain pharmacies since they have found Dr. Hauschka! Thank you for a great product. Worth every penny!
By Ana on October 9, 2013
Lip care sent from the gods!
If I had one favorite beauty product, it would be anything related to lip care. (and maybe some awesome mascara, but that's another topic!) You can find at least two different kinds of lip balm, gloss or lipstick in my bag at all times. And one of them will always be this care stick. My lips were constantly getting chapped, and while reading reviews for different products, this stood out! It makes my lips feel so silky and smooth. No yucky bad taste or anything. It's absolute perfection!

The Macpherson Collection By and About Women is one of the " star" collections at Denison Library. The collection is focused in four thematic areas: Emancipation and Reform, Domestic History, Westward Expansion, and Women in the Humanist Tradition. Some of the items in the collection may be checked out, while others are part of our special collections and located in the Macpherson Treasure Room. Most requested from the Macpherson Treasure Room, and perhaps most fascinating, are the women's magazines and etiquette books from the nineteenth century. The magazines are often beautifully illustrated with " fashion plates" that detail the period's most chic and trendy clothing and hairstyles. The etiquette books offer tips on manners and other women's topics, including beauty, housewifery, home medical treatments, and proper exercises for ladies. To search for materials in the Macpherson Treasure Room use the Blais online catalog's advanced search screen.

We have this swing hanging on a tree branch in our yard. My daughter and I have spent hours in it reading a book and relaxing. It is strong, sturdy, BEAUTIFUL and well crafted. I purchased another one for my dear friend who just built a new home. She enjoys it for many hours on end. I would highly recommend as a Great Christmas , birthday, or housewarming gift.
Absolutely love this hammock chair. I had wanted a regular hammock but didn't have the space so I bought this chair. I built my own frame out of 4x4 post and used a swivel hook. Many evenings this summer I have spent hours just sitting back and swaying. It is large enough to recline partially back with your legs outstretched. I have probably used it for approximately 20-30 hours in the month that I have owned it and it has shown absolutely no wear. If you use a swivel hook you can not only swing back and forth but can also sway from side to side like a hammock. I have found that I enjoy this chair even more than a regular hammock.
Love it! I have to enter at least 50 characters, so I will say that it's just as we hoped it would be, great quality, very soft rope, and very roomy - I am 5feet 5 inches and can completely lay back in the chair with pillows and room to spare.
Purchased as a gift. Wish I had more trees so I could buy more of these comfortable chairs! And yes, like so many other reviews of this product, someone 5'9" can extend fully in this hammock chair -- sitting slightly reclined with legs fully extended within chair. Chair dries quickly after a heavy rain. Beautiful design, rich color (I think I purchased the Mocha, but would not hesitate buying this in ANY color). A very fair price, too, considering that regular lawn chairs at box stores now cost as much at *** each! This product may also work well hanging from floor beams in basement ceiling (great for younger kids' reading nook or teen hangout). I can't say enough about this product!
I bought this for a gift for my wife and her feedback is that it is a hammock _chair_ and not a hammock, in that the back puts you in a sitting position with no way to adjust so that your head can lay flat for nap. You can slide back a bit, but not like a hammock. She loves it and has relaxed with a book in it, as well as snuggled with our small children in it. Even the kids like to sit in it, but they have their own swingset! Like other reviews, the material does dry out really quickly after a rain. I loved how much hardware shipped in it. I didn't realize it shipped with a large eye hook, two S hooks, and two heavy-duty chains (for either hanging from a stand or ceiling joist. I hung mine on two existing swingset hangers but plan to join the two chains together to support up to 300 pounds total (150 per swing hanger) and get a swivel hook so the unit is not stuck in one orientation.
Great quality swing! Comfortable and cozy - everyone in the family loves it, especially the kids (2 can fit in at once).
We love our hammock chair! It is very sturdy and comfortable. I usually have to share it with one of my kids because they think it's fun to wind up the chain and spin around like a top.
Have this hanging from the ceiling in my daughter's room. She loves it, her friends love it, and her brother wants one too!
This swing is wonderful, overstock has great stuff. The only thing i didn't care for was a few dings on the wooden bar but it really doesn't matter bc no one will see that as it is hung high.
I was nervous about ordering a hammock online, especially one that was so low priced. I was very pleased with the quality of the product!
