Discovering Statistics Using SPSS for Windows: Advanced Techniques for the Beginner
Sage Publications, 2000 - Computers - 496 pages
`Field's Discovering Statistics Using SPSS for Windows is rapidly becoming the SPSS user's bible. The book aims to make the learning of advanced statistics and using of SPSS as painless as possible for students and academics alike.... If you teach SPSS or indeed use it in your own research and you don't already have this book, I urge you to order copies for your library and recommend it to your students. Buy it, use it, love it' - Psychology Learning and Teaching
Andy Field has written a student-oriented textbook with the aim of making the learning of advanced statistics and using SPSS as painless as possible.
While other books either concentrate on statistical theory or on the functions of the popular computer program SPSS, Andy Field integrates the two to provide the student with a thorough grounding in statistics through learning to use SPSS. He provides a detailed, yet highly accessible, guide to using SPSS for more complex statistical tests. There are illustrations of dialogue boxes throughout, and each chapter concludes with a set of exercises and descriptions. The book includes a CD-ROM with SPSS datasets and the author provides a Website for further help and updates.
What people are saying - Write a review
This is an amazingly useful book written in very lucid and understandable language. A must have for Doctoral students.

Please please ADD NIPPLES to the final version of the torso! Important for realism -especially if the character is going to be shirtless. Otherwise the sculpt is fantastic, can't wait to purchase him!
Why not use a more capable device such as a this: http://www.ti.com/product/tm4c123gh6pm
Up to 80Mhz clockspeed and with 16 onboard hardware PWM outputs it would allow for some very precise movements. It has a extensive pheripheral driver library and the onboard USB phy would allow for easy firmware upgrades.

OnStar long has been something of a sub-optimized brand. General Motors is trying to change that these days with 4G LTE connectivity for the infotainment system it markets across all brands.
But now comes the suggestion that GM also could be using not the OnStar brand but its massive information troves for an as-yet-untapped purpose that could really help the tattered corporate reputation of America's largest auto company: as a provider of "big data" that could help GM spot emerging safety problems more quickly— and help avoid problems.
At the heart of the OnStar system, explained the New York Times, is a link to the vehicle's computerized brain, which collects more than 1,000 separate measurements on virtually every aspect of the vehicle's health and also provides continuous location information.Continue reading...

The campaign: Chevrolet is saying "Happy 4G of July" with a series of spots promoting its new line-up of 4G LTE and Wi-Fi enabled vehicles. According to GM's press release, the Chevrolet brand is rolling out the largest deployment of vehicles with built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi in the US this summer, kicking off this Fourth of July weekend. The Connected by OnStar 4G platform, which includes a vehicle health monitor app, debuted at CES in January and will eventually bring LTE connectivity powered by AT&T to all Chevy vehicles.
The pitch: How wireless technology enhances car road trips (in Chevrolet vehicles, in this case, although GM is promoting Wi-Fi across its auto brands) with sharing, knowledge on the go, connectivity and good times: "Bring your friends along for the ride. Chevrolet, the first and only car company to bring 4G LTE Wi-Fi to cars, trucks and crossovers." The hashtag, #TheNewIndependence, extends on the automaker's broader "The New" campaign.
The launch: Timed to Fourth of July festivities across America, where Chevy is sponsoring free wireless web access at Philadelphia's fireworks event, the spots will also run on TV, in cinemas and in GoGo Wi-Fi enabled flights. In addition to spots targeting Hispanic and African American consumers, Chevrolet also will leverage the Guinness International Champions Cup match between Manchester United and Real Madrid on August 2 at Michigan Stadium.
Watch the spots below.Continue reading...

Long past are the days when privacy advocates merely worried that GM's pioneering OnStar service could track your car wherever you traveled using GPS technology. Now, an increasing number of retailers and other brands are using new "beacon" technology to track consumers to within several inches of their locations in stores in order to push promotions and encourage spending.
There are lots of other potentially disruptive uses to come from Apple's iBeacon and similar technologies though as brand transparency and consumer privacy become top of mind.
Already, for instance, Safeway has been testing an iBeacon installation that automatically offers discounts to shoppers who have downloaded the supermarket chain's "just for U" loyalty app and walk into the store—at the exact moment when consumers are ready to shop.
Similarly, Duane Reade, the Walgreen-owned East Coast US pharmacy chain, has launched a program to fit its New York stores with iBeacons that delivery weekly ads and coupons to opted-in smartphones. "iBeacons help remove some of the obstacles of engagement and facilitate customer interaction," Tim MacCauley, mobile commerce director for Walgreen, told Adweek.Continue reading...

digital moves
Posted by Dale Buss on May 13, 2014 04:07 PM
General Motors is going further down the infotainment road first paved by its OnStar brand 18 years ago, fielding a new, hard-wired digital stream in its new cars through a partnership with AT&T to provide 4G LTE connectivity. Only this time, its critics say, by providing on-board internet service, GM is only offering a service that already is available to people in its vehicles in a number of other ways (like their smartphones).
No doubt GM believes that its a la carte 4G LTE service, which it announced earlier this year at CES, will attract consumers when it is offered beginning next month in the 2015 Chevrolet Malibu and then, over the course of the year, in 30 other GM models. It'll begin marketing the service under OnStar and its vehicle brands in the coming weeks.
"There are a lot of learnings we have built up" through OnStar over the years, Phil Abram, GM's Chief Infotainment Officer, told brandchannel. "It's not as simple as bolting a modem into a car. It's much more sophisticated than that. And also to make sure you have the services to back it up. That's where GM has a broad advantage."Continue reading...

Amid the flurry of infotainment announcements at the Consumer Electronics Show this week, Ford is trying to maintain a lead in an area where it blazed trails by expanding and enhancing its Sync telematics platform and swiping a veteran executive with experience in General Motors' OnStar operation to help out.
Ford announced that it will expand availability of its Sync AppLink to 3.4 million more vehicles later this year with a free upgrade that enables current Ford owners to access and control smartphone apps via voice command.
The company ran into problems with consumers over the last couple of years as subsequent generations of Sync became more complicated to operate and owners pushed back via third-party ratings such as Consumer Reports. But Ford has worked hard to overcome those difficulties, and its latest moves with Sync represent an attempt to re-assert itself in the pole position of a telematics revolution that is vastly reconfiguring the very notion of a car and which is drawing in not only automakers but also a wide range of tech companies in what Ford futurist Sheryl Connelly has called a "quiet riot of innovation."Continue reading...

tech in the spotlight
Posted by Dale Buss on January 6, 2014 03:54 PM
Anyone concerned that automobiles soon will be reduced to self-driven, rolling video-game platforms should stay away from the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. Tech companies from Nvidia to Google to Samsung, and auto brands from Audi to Hyundai to Chevrolet, are making it clear at CES that super-enhanced in-vehicle internet connectivity may be their most important technological priority these days.
Chevrolet announced that the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette, Impala, Malibu And Volt would be the first GM vehicles to come optionally equipped with OnStar 4G LTE, an industry first across multiple product lines, to be followed quickly by the majority of the 2015 Chevy lineup in the US and Canada. Among other things, the initiative will create a Wi-Fi hotspot in GM vehicles.
Busily, GM also was announcing its participation in the recently rumored huge new telematics initiative led by Google, called the Open Automotive Alliance, which also includes Audi, Honda, Hyundai and chip maker Nvidia in an effort to customize Google's Android platform for vehicles that will allow for things such as app access and remote vehicle diagnostics.Continue reading...

Finally saw a Frit
After going through a butterfly drought for the last few weeks, an ELF Fritillary showed up today. I was on the mower and assumed it was a Gulf Fritillary. She laid several eggs but I didn't see any on the tendrils, they were on the leaves. Anyway, it was the first Frit of the year and a welcome sight as I've seen nothing for a while.
Congratulations on luring them in. I wish I could send you some of my gulf frits butterflies right now--several sudden 100+ degree heat waves have cause all of the spring leaves to completely collapse on my large vines. The butterflies are being lured in by the vine, but then there is no decent foliage for them to lay eggs on. :( I cannot buy replacements, because the nursery plants will have been sprayed. They will just have to wait for the vines to leaf out again. The few seedlings in the area are only 1' tall.
I had to laugh a bit about the butterflies not laying eggs on the tendrils--I have had gulf frits miss leaves and tendrils, and plant the eggs on the block wall. Close enough for the youngsters, I guess.
Wow! Lucky lucky lucky you Rick! I am just pining away here in GA for some Variegated Frit eggs. My Passionvine is just getting up the fence now. The only Fritillary I have seen so far this year is a Great Spangled. You know, last year, I didn't have one single Gulf egg or cat. I hope this year is different.~~Angie
I saw a variegated fritillary flying through my garden today. It stopped at some violets, so it may have laid some eggs, but I haven't found any.
I usually just go to the garden one day and find a few late instar VFs.
It was good to see some type of fritillary!

As support, max R, W, then E, then Q. Buy the usual support items and pop your shield on whichever person (you or your adc) that starts taking the most fire. In teamfights, be near the front and be ready to use your ult to disrupt enemy ults and your shield ready for when you pop back out.
As mid, max R > Q > W >E and play more conservatively in lane. Buy some AP and some MR items to utilize your passive. Use your Q to harass, never your E unless you're going all-in for a kill. Hang near the back as AP mid in teamfights and ult after a good degree of damage has been done to the other side.

Don't actually do this.
build ap and just get some mres on the side
Then grab stuff like Zhonya/Deathcap, Void Staff etc.,
Oh yeah Spirit Visage is pretty beast.
If you just stack mres on him your damage is gonna be poop and you'll probably not have the health pool to back up the mres.
Make sure you actually do damage first, especially because Galio's cooldowns are kind lame-y and so you want to do relevant damage each rotation.

No no.. just no. The reason why Galio beats other AP mids is because he can stack magic resistance and still deal relevant damage, RoA is garbage on Galio and no Athene's in there is also fail.
Galio is meant to be more of an utility/support lategame like Zilean, you're not there to burst people down. And that's how you win games.

Beyond New START
Posted By: slchapma | November 10, 2010 | Views: 762
Toward Deeper Reductions in U.S. and Russian Nuclear Weapons The Council on Foreign Relation's Center for Preventative Action has recently released this report discussing the continued need to reduce the American and Russian nuclear stockpiles. The author Micah Zenko suggests that the two nations build on the successes of April's New START (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty) and cut back their deployed nuclear weapons to 1,000. He explains that both nations would benefit from a new agreement, which would reduce the probability of a nuclear war or terrorist incident while also encouraging U.S.-Russian cooperation in other areas. Although he remains hopeful, Zenko points out three difficult issues that need to be addressed: "tactical nuclear weapons, missile defense, and conventional weapons on nuclear-capable delivery systems." The bulk of the document involves the author proposing potential solutions to these politically sensitive topics. Significantly, China and other nuclear powers are not included in any immediate talks, although he does call for eventual discussions that include all major nuclear powers.

salmon soup with olives & saffron aioli
This full-bodied soup is bordering the density of stew and without being spicy, it is packed with interesting flavors. When potatoes are grated the natural starch separate from the flesh, and when added to the hot liquid, it immediately thickens the soup to a lovely, hearty consistency. For the perfect flavor combination, serve with Saffron Aioli – recipe here.
2 pounds fresh salmon
8 cups fish or vegetable stock
1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 large leek, thinly sliced
1 cup thickly grated carrots
½ cup thickly grated parsnips
½ cup thickly grated celery root
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
¼ cup tomato paste
2 cups thickly grated potatoes (preferably starchy potatoes like Russets)
1½ cups dry white wine
1 cup black olives, pitted and cut in half
¼ cup capers
¼ cup chopped parsley
oil for frying
Cut salmon into ½-1″ cubes, cover and set aside.
Boil stock with salmon skin, parsley stems and the dark green part of the leek for 30 minutes.
Lightly fry onion, leek, carrots, parsnips and celery root in oil.
In a separate pan, fry chopped garlic and tomato paste in oil for a few minutes while stirring.
Preferably in a clay pot, combine strained stock, vegetables and garlic paste with grated potatoes and wine. Make sure to include the thick, glue-like starch that has separated from the grated potatoes, as it will work as a natural thickener. Stir and simmer for 20-30 minutes until vegetables turn soft.
Add olives, capers and chopped parsley. Salt to taste and bring back to a quick boil.
Turn off the heat and add salmon cubes. Gently stir until combined, cover and let rest for 10-15 minutes.
Serve immediately with Saffron Aioli.
Serves 6-8

saffron aioli
Homemade aioli is quick and easy to make, and the flavoring options (from herbs to spices) are endless. When using a mild spice such as saffron I sometimes find the flavor of olive oil overpowering. Making saffron the star of this recipe, I am using only mild grapeseed oil and just a small piece of garlic.
2 large egg yolks
½ small garlic clove, minced to a paste
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon water
¾ cup grapeseed oil
0.2 grams saffron threads
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Add egg yolks, garlic, salt and water to a food processor or blender and process until well blended.
Continue to process while slowly drizzling in grape seed oil, a little at a time.
Process until all the oil is added and the aioli is thick and fluffy.
Rub saffron threads between your fingers to break them down and stir in with lemon juice.
Makes about 1 cup.

A more amusing anecdote concerns a(nother) San Antonio public high school and–surprisingly– the eighteenth century African-American poetess, Phillis Wheatley. Even though she entered childhood as a slave to a New England merchant family, from whom she took her surname, Wheatley is generally considered one of the most important American poets of the eighteenth century. Her collection of poetry, Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral (1773), was probably the first book by an African-American to be published. As a result of her accomplishment, when the original Brackenridge High School on the city's south side, which had been built in 1919, was replaced with a new structure during the 1970's, the District decided to rename it Phillis Wheatley High School, in honor of the first African-American author. Unfortunately, the name change did not please the close-knit alumni of the original Brackenridge campus, many of whom had attended the old school decades earlier, when that area of town was a prominent middle-class neighborhood. They simply wanted to hold on to the prominent local name with which they identified their high school traditions of years past. Their influence was strong enough that the San Antonio Independent School District changed the name of the new facility, located a few blocks east of the King William Historic District, back to Brackenridge High School, (in 1988) and the black poetess' name was (chang

News about us and our services, our thoughts on industry trends and happenings - just a few of the things you will find in this section. Happy exploring.

The lines between digital, mobile, technology and apps are blurring in today's world. We at Robosoft are keen followers of developments in this arena. At the end of every week, we will share with you highlights of news items which caught our eye in this space.
If you thought the app development market was beginning to get stale with cookie-cutter approach to apps and app marketing, think again. There is a lot of talk in the app industry about problems of app discovery and getting lost in the clutter. Many have attempted to make a fortune in this business only to end up with apps or games which never make it to the top or create buzz. However, when apps become popular the reasons-why are clear to see. They meet a need or solve a problem, they are engaging and easy to use, they are designed well and provide great user experience. Sometimes, apps have the power to disrupt not just the app industry but related industries they operate in. Live streaming music apps, check in apps, instant messaging apps and many more have gone on to impact related industries.
Meerkat, the live video streaming app has gained phenomenal traction in two weeks and has the potential to disrupt several categories. It is remarkable that it has gained such a fan following and buzz all within two weeks.
BBC's Washington bureau used Meerkat recently to cover live news events. Amateurs are seeing it as a great tool to broadcast videos live with literally no setup or investments required. Potentially it could be used to broadcast live news, music & other entertainment events, sports, training videos and so much more. No wonder Meerkat has attracted high profile investments too.
Meerkat seems to have found that happy intersection of a great product and marketing buzz. Twitter users seem to have fallen in love with it and seems to be growing despite Twitter putting some restrictions on it. Meerkat was first discovered on Product Hunt and got a bigger platforms at the recent SXSW – which are phenomenal platforms for discovery. With Twitter buying Periscope, the live streaming app scenario will see some healthy competition soon. Which can only mean good news for consumers.
Until now, the app approval process at Google Play was relatively simple, compared to the App Store process. Google revealed last week that app submissions will go through a review process – internal team of reviewers will analyze apps for policy violations prior to publication. Also an age-based ratings system for games and apps on Google Play will be in place.
Apple gave ABC News exclusive access to its top secret health and fitness lab. The lab is fitted with 'climate chambers' where participants test the watch in different environments. The watch was also test in live environments of Alaska and Dubai, apparently. Apple is making sure that the story behind the creation of Apple Watch gets through to media and potential consumers prior to launch.

As with any Apple event, there is much speculation prior to the event and analysis post the event. The 'Spring Forward' event held earlier this week is no different. The post analysis event is perhaps even more this time with lots of online discussions on the pros and cons of the luxury pricing of the Edition variant.
From an app development perspective the Spring Forward event presents a great new opportunity. With the Apple Watch one cannot but help compare its launch to that of the iPhone in 2007. Back then the phone was launched without the App Store and breath-taking apps. Those happened later. And the apps were the magnet which attracted users to the OS leading to the 'there's an app for that' phrase. With the Apple Watch, while some apps have been showcased, they are perhaps like a trailer. The big opportunity and the creative possibilities are yet to be unleashed. The Alarms.com app which was showcased at the Apple event drew a lot of attention. App Developers can be expected to come up with more such apps spanning utility and entertainment. How about a game that utilises the glance of the watch to its advantage? Or digital touch? The possibilities are endless.
Apple's foray into medical research, the ResearchKit initiative is another exciting development, no pun intended. To quote Apple, ResearchKit is an open source software framework that makes it easy for researchers and developers to create apps that could revolutionize medical studies, potentially transforming medicine forever. The upside of this project is the ease of signing on and usage. According to Stanford, 11,000 iPhone owners signed up for a heart health study through this, in the first 24 hours. While there are downsides to this initiative, the potential to make a positive impact is huge. And developers can play a key role in it.
13 March, 2015Push notifications, that magical tool that lets us speak to users even when our app is not being used. This tool started as a way to notify users when... #Opinion
Push notifications, that magical tool that lets us speak to users even when our app is not being used. This tool started as a way to notify users when our app required an update, and it gradually extended to pushing information about new content and marketing offers. Many successful apps are critically hinged on push notifications; like your favorite messenger and email app. But in the process push notifications have also become notorious for their tendency to be a nuisance.
While designing notifications for our app, a small analogy exercise can be undertaken to analyze their efficiency and also understand this tool's overall evolution.
Imagine the entire push notification service as our user's personal attendant. And this attendant serves the user, his master, timely and relevant information in an ultra concise manner (hence haiku). Based on this guideline we need to design and test our notifications' significance.
But keep in mind that the attendant does not represent only our app alone, but all the apps on the user's device. The Notification Center is the attendant. And an experienced attendant is able to identify what information his master needs to know immediately or otherwise. This sense of discernment is what we need to apply to our app's notifications (and ours alone).
If our notifications are too frequent or irrelevant, the user will promptly disable them or uninstall our app altogether. This line is often crossed by advertising, promotions, or direct marketing related notifications. This is why Apple discourages using push notifications for such purposes.
Returning to our imagined scenario, we so far have an attendant who is an informer. But real-life attendants also serve to carry out orders based on the information they've just provided to us.
A basic push-notification is like an attendant who informs us that a letter has arrived, thereafter we need to ourselves go to the post-office, draft a letter, have it posted, and return back home (i.e. launch app, compose/reply, send, exit). Instead, why can't we just inform the attendant of our reply and have him go and deliver our letter? That is exactly why actionable notifications came into being. We now can identify for which notifications our app can take external input.
Let's take this up by another notch now. An experienced attendant not only informs and takes orders, but also continuously learns his master's preferences. The attendant may learn that letters from a specific person are more important to his master than those from others. Informing about these letters hence would gain precedence. Our app notifications can be designed to learn the user's preferences in the same manner, so as to always deliver value to every individual user. This is the path charted currently by Google Now.
But amid all this excitement, let us not forget that sometimes even the best attendant gets it wrong. And unfortunately only the master decides when such an instance has occurred. In such a case, if the attendant is deemed valuable, the master simply corrects the attendant by outlining what is required and what is not. The attendant keeps these instructions in mind and acts accordingly in the future.
The above calls for the ability of a user to customize notifications. From making minor tweaks to completely disabling notifications, all options must be given. Google Now's integration of third-party apps is greatly upgrading this functionality. And we can look forward to other platforms following suite.
As we continue to imagine the interaction of an attendant with his master, we can further predict the evolution of the 'simple' push-notification tool.
The smartwatch seems to be a comfortable place to reckon this attendant. With all the promising smartwatches being launched in 2015, users may actually live their childhood 'Johnny Sokko'-like roleplays.
And soon we can visualize apps working in unity, and each app being a building block for each user's very own Jeeves, Jarvis, or Humphrey Appleby. And an analysis of these three personalities will lead us to the stark question – "Who is the master?"
We work closely with brands and chalk out a mobile app strategy based on consumer understanding and the brand's business strategy.
Design is not just how it looks, but how it works' said Steve Jobs. Our UI/UX team brings in their knowledge & experience of working with the world's best in each and every project.
We bring to life some of the most complicated design projects through our engineering skills, which is second nature to us.
More than 200 of our apps have featured in the 'New & Noteworthy section of iTunes. And many of our projects have won prestigious awards & accolades. Here are a few.

Florida Sportsman member: Docked Wages Some chunky bamboo we came across north of the Port last friday. After releasing a few shorts we motored up and filmed a variety of species co-mingling underneath. Two Tripletail stuck around for the video.
Florida Sportsman Member: Salty Roots The night time tide changes have been our bread and butter. The snook have been hitting bucktails, the reds were hitting cut pogies when we could get them, live croakers when we could get them, and for two nights they were smacking crabs on the top.
