-- Printing Supplies Retailer Enhances Searchandising and Refinement Options, Encouraging More Visitors to Use the Search Box
LONDON, Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- SLI Systems (www.sli-systems.com) today announced that online printing supplies retailer Cartridge People has increased its conversion rate 55% and increased site search usage 25% with SLI's full-service search and navigation solutions. With SLI's merchandising console, Cartridge People also now have more control over how site search results are ranked, as well as how site search pages are merchandised to highlight popular products and promotions.
Cartridge People (www.cartridgepeople.com) sell a wide range of original and remanufactured printer cartridges, paper, printers, and computer accessories to consumers and businesses across the UK. The company's previous site search solution was a built-in part of its e-commerce platform, and was extremely limited in power and flexibility, said Rob Watson, online marketing manager for H2eCommerce, which provides IT services to Cartridge People.
"Like many companies that look to their e-commerce platform for site search, we realized that search was one of the weaker components of the customer experience we were offering," Watson said. "Search is very important to the site's customers – they want to quickly find the correct supplies for their printing needs without the need to browse the website. However, we found that products weren't properly ordered in search results, nor were they relevant to their searches, and we had no way to move best-selling products to the top of the list. "
Watson discovered SLI's Learning Search and Learning Navigation solutions, which deliver fast, relevant site search results and with powerful refinement controls, at an ecommerce trade show, and recommended that Cartridge People deploy SLI. Cartridge People could see that SLI would help them quickly improve site search, and give them access to features like Rich Auto Complete, refinements, search merchandising, and site search landing pages.
In just six months after going live with SLI's full-service site search, Cartridge People have seen an increase of 25% in usage of the search box, and a 55% increase in its conversion rate among customers who use search. "These improvements in site search use and conversions show that Cartridge People's customers are taking advantage of tools like refinements to choose their printer model and find the right products," Watson said.
Cartridge People are also using SLI's Auto Complete, which provides suggested search terms when shoppers begin to type keywords in the search box. When customers begin typing in the name of a printer brand, they see a list of all that brand's specific models, helping them quickly choose their printer. This feature can eliminate 'no results' pages and also helps visitors avoid spelling errors.
"Trading inflexible built-in site search for a sophisticated, user-friendly solution like SLI Learning Search will quickly reap benefits for ecommerce companies," said Shaun Ryan, CEO of SLI Systems. "With customized site search, businesses gain greater control in how search results are presented and how site visitors navigate among product choices – all of which can drive improved conversions and higher order values."
SLI Systems' full-service, customized site search, navigation and merchandising offerings helps businesses like Cartridge People meet customer expectations for relevant results and information, and also promote particular products and brands, all based on previous visitors' search and click-through activity. The solutions are dynamic, so results change as customer buying trends and search terms shift. Additionally, SLI's offerings are backed by the company's team of search and navigation experts, who oversee deployment and provide ongoing management and support.

Sam fights for Matlala
- Updated: January 18, 2011
South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (Sascoc) president Gideon Sam is forging ahead with plans to preserve Jacob ÔÇ£Baby JakeÔÇØ Matlala's legacy and will be among the throngs of people who will bid for the four-time world champion's belts when they go under the hammer at a fundraising event for the boxer on 27 January at Emperors Palace.
The New Age newspaper reports that Sam announced at the weekend that Sascoc intended to buy the belts before they were to be auctioned at the fundraising tournament, but Golden Gloves boss Rodney Berman stopped him in his tracks, saying that the belts were not for sale out of hand and would have to be auctioned.
ÔÇ£I spoke to Rodney Berman and he stopped me in regard to purchasing the belts so that they can remain in the Matlala family. They (Golden Gloves Promotions) have already started the process for the auction but we have bought a table and we will be there to bid. We are determined to do everything in our power to get hold of them,ÔÇØ Sam said.
The pint-sized former champion recently decided to donate two of his title belts amid an array of goods to be auctioned at the event. The auction forms part of the Big Little Men Tournament, proceeds of which will go to Matlala.
In a call to Berman, Sam said he was prepared to pay ÔÇ£whatever it takesÔÇØ to ensure that Matlala's legacy remains in his homeland.
However, Berman was quick to point out that the belts would be auctioned rather than sold, and Sam, on behalf of Sascoc, was welcome to make a bid. ÔÇ£The interest in the tournament is unbelievable,ÔÇØ said the Golden Gloves boss, ÔÇ£and this is indicative of it. I know Jake is gratified. We're hoping to raise a good sum of money for him.ÔÇØ
Matlala's wife, Mapule, had welcomed the gesture by Sascoc to purchase the belts, but now she hopes that Sascoc will emerge victorious in the auction so that the belts will remain in the family.
ÔÇ£It is wonderful that Sascoc is trying to keep Jake's legacy in the country. I hope that their bids in the auction will be the winning ones. It will show that the nation is indeed behind Jake,ÔÇØ she said.
Sam indicated that the initial decision to purchase the belts emanated from a fear that a wealthy foreigner would buy the belts and they would be lost to the country and the Matlala family forever. ÔÇ£At some stage we will return them to the family. So right now the aim is to raise money for him,ÔÇØ he said.
There will be a remarkable lineup of memorabilia on auction, including rare items like an autographed Madonna guitar, plus gloves signed by pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao.
The bill is topped by Hekkie Budler's IBO title defence against Gideon Buthelezi.

Associate Degree Programs
An associate degree program is a 2-year degree program that prepares you for a chosen profession upon graduation or to continue your education by pursuing a bachelor's degree. An associate degree increases your earnings potential and provides valuable career training.
The courses in an associate degree program will include general education classes as well as classes in your chosen field. Community colleges, technical colleges, vocational colleges and even traditional colleges offer associate degree programs. There are two types of associate degrees: occupational and transfer. An occupational associate degree prepares you for the workforce. A transfer associate degree prepares you for a higher education and the pursuit of a bachelor's degree.

Yep, I have been working on music a lot and already have another song finished.
The last few months have been a very positive experience for me and I want to express my gratitude.
Thanks to everyone who liked, commented on and shared my music. Shoutout to those who even bough my stuff: you are awesome!
As per usual, I tried to explore new genres and inspirations with this one:
Until next time!
Hello everyone,
I just uploaded a new song, you can listen to it here:
The background to this track is that initially, I wanted to create something that sounded like "Dimension" (since that one was so well received). Somewhere along the process I strayed away from that idea though. I ended up using a brighter chord progression and swing-time percussion. I thought that it fit very well and added some licks out of my trusted brass library to round it off. I'm happy with how it turned out - it has a very groovy sound and I used some new techniques in terms of composition and sound design.
For now, I'll take a break before I continue on one of my other open songs. I might release something in the style of "Rivals" next.
I noticed that some people were confused by the username I was using on here (and some other places as well), so I decided to change it.
To clarify: my artist alias has always been Creo. I just used "hyperdemented" among many other nicknames whenever my name was already taken. This happens quite a lot and on sites like twitter there are hardly any decent alternatives.
Anyway, right now I'm also working on new tunes. Hopefully I'll have one ready for you in the coming weeks. I might make it free to use again, like Dimension.
Hi everyone,
my EP is now up and running. You can find it on most streaming websites and of course on here as well. ;)
I have been working on a new EP for the past couple of months. It will be out on March 5th, you can watch a short teaser for it on YouTube:
I have been trying out new things for this EP.
The first song, "Challenger", is a very upbeat 128 bpm electro song in my usual style.
"Rivals" is a blend of cinematic and electronic music. You could describe it as Melodic Dubstep but it doesn't have any of the signature wobble bass or warped sounds that you would find among other artists in the genre.
The last one, "Nemophore", is a very experimental song. It has got a lighter tone than my usual stuff and features a lot of percussive instrumentation.
That's all I have to say about the music for now. I may upload one song in full a few days ahead of the release.
as promised, here is my submission for this year's Pixel Day:
I'll be on vacation for a while now, but I have lots of stuff to work on once I come back.
Have a nice weekend everyone!
Hi Everyone,
I just finished my submission for this year's Pixel Day. I participated in the last one and got third place with this song:
The new track is stylistically very similar, so if you enjoy this type of music keep an eye out for my upload on newgrounds this saturday. ;)
Besides that, I also have a Melodic Dubstep song I am working on. I have put a lot of effort into it so far, and I think it is turning out great. It will probably be another couple of weeks before I am going to release it, though.
so I was messing around a while back trying to come up with a few soft synth patches that try to emulate guitars. here's the result:
Well here it is, took me about half a year. Nothing too special, a few songs got scrapped in the process but I'm satisfied with how the rest turned out and learned a bunch of things. Hope you enjoy the whole thing! Have a nice weekend ;)

Ok... Well, some of you may know that I've been chasing a running rich problem pretty much since I bought this car. I figure I'd post the question here though, and we can go at it again.
So it runs rich. Really rich. And I've replaced just about everything at least once. With the gears and tranny I have, I should be getting AT LEAST low 20's MPG on the highway, but I don't. I drive mostly highway (85-90%) and I average 18MPG per tank. My normal highway speeds are 75-85mph, but at 80mph in 6th gear, that's only 1850rpms with my 3.73's (I'll be switching to 4.56's as soon as money allows). I normally drive with a fairly liht foot too. But that doesn't really effect my mileage, on the tanks that I beat the shit out of the car, I get low to mid 18's, when I drive like yo mama, I get mid to high 18's, or MAYBE low 19's.
Here are my mods, at least what I can think of that would relate:
Custom intake with 7" S&B filter
TB Airfoil
Chevy ZZ3 Cam
Proform 1.5 roller rockers
Tri-Y headers
Bosch platinum plugs
No cats
True duals, 2.25" with h-pipe
T56, 6 speed manual trans
Stock Z28 Clutch
3.73 gears with Eaton posi
OBD-1 conversion - custom program
Things I've replaced:
o2's with new GM units. twice
MAF sensor swapped with known good one
Cleaned and rebuilt TB
New plugs (3X! 2 sets Bosch platinums and 1 set NGK TR55 coppers)
New Wires (twice. 1st Taylors, now Magnecore)
New optispark
New coil
New 6 speed GM EGR
New GM 6 speed EGR solenoid
There are no exhaust leaks. Car SMELLS rich. Like real bad. Your eyes will tear if you are driving behind me. Worse when warmed up. Not so bad when started cold. Keep in mind it has done this since before I started modding it.
I have a feeling that it has a bit to do with the program, but do not think it is totally the problem. I am not very familiar with the programming yet, so I cannot comment on it. I can send the file to those who may be familiar. The base program was dyno tuned on another zz3 car with similar mods, so I would assume it is close.
I am working on getting Tunercat and Freescan working on my laptop.
So... Any suggestions?

Spanish and Portuguese researchers have analysed the composition and radiative effect of desert aerosols during two episodes which simultaneously affected Badajoz (Spain) and Évora (Portugal) in August 2012. Results show that the intrusion of dust from the Sahara Desert caused radiative cooling of the Earth's surface.
Atmospheric aerosols (solid or liquid particles suspended in the atmosphere) are difficult to examine for various reasons. Firstly, they remain in the atmosphere for a short time and secondly, their cause may be natural or anthropogenic.
Yet there is no doubt that research into atmospheric aerosols is becoming increasingly important due to the effects that they can have on the global temperature of the Earth, given that solar radiation is the main source of energy for the Earth-Atmosphere system. Aerosols also affect human health, ecosystems and the water cycle.
For this reason, a group of researchers from Extremadura (Spain) and Portugal has analysed the radiative effect of a type of natural aerosol (the dust from the desert areas), of great interest to the Iberian Peninsula due to the proximity of the Sahara desert.
The scientists focused their study, published in the journal 'Atmospheric Research', on two desert aerosol intrusions which occurred in August 2013 and that affected two monitoring stations in the south-west of the Iberian Peninsula, in Évora and Badajoz, which belong to the AErosol RObotic NETwork (AERONET) and are managed by NASA.
During these two significant events, "the amount of radiation that reached the surface was less than that which would done if these aerosols had not been there," Mª Ángeles Obregón, researcher in the Physics department of the University of Extremadura (UEx) and the University of Évora (Portugal) and lead author of this study, explains to SINC.
Presence of pollution causes greater impact
By studying the precise measurements of these intrusions, the team determined that although the second desert dust intrusion was more intense (with a greater concentration of PM10 particles), it was in fact the earlier one which caused a greater degree of radiative cooling in both places. As the study underlines, this is due to the presence of absorbent aerosols from anthropogenic pollution.
"It was not only a mix of desert aerosol and pollution but there were also surface and column measurements. This is not always possible, given that the measurements are often contaminated by cloud cover and are fragmented, or simply do not exist because the instruments are calibrating themselves," the researcher clarifies.
During this event, the aerosols stayed close to the surface due to the presence of a anticyclone hovering over the study region at sea-level, "reducing the amount of shortwave irradiance reaching the surface and causing greater radiative cooling," states Obregón, who likens the effects of desert dust with those resulting from certain forest fires or episodes of high pollution.
However, the expert indicates that it is important to bear in mind that the effects of each type of aerosol are different due to their "varying composition, size and properties," she concludes.
Obregón, M.A et al. "Aerosol radiative effects during two desert dust events in August 2012 over the Southwestern Iberian Peninsula" Atmospheric Research 153(404-415) DOI: 10.1016/j.atmosres.2014.10.007 February 2015
