This document describes a commentary system called TalkBackPoll that website owners can add to engage readers. It allows readers to vote in polls, leave comments, and share their opinions on social networks. The system provides a dashboard for moderating comments and customizing the design. It groups comments by opinion and can show them on a map to add a geographical context. The TalkBackPoll system is free and easy to use but provides many powerful features to interact with an online audience.

This document summarizes trends in the Italian direct marketing list market from 2000 to the present. Key points include:
- The rise of internet has downsized publishers and mail order houses while new corporate and micro-business players have emerged.
- Email marketing has largely replaced postal addresses, lowering costs. However, data quality is declining as information comes from online forms rather than surveys.
- Privacy laws will likely strengthen to require explicit opt-in consent for data use due to increased spam, bounced emails, and intrusive advertising. Overall, direct marketing lists and professionals have lost influence while consumers have more e-commerce options.
The document discusses the concept of the "Long Tail" which refers to businesses reaching niche markets by selling obscure or less mainstream products. It notes that the Long Tail benefits customers by providing access to niche products not available elsewhere, and benefits businesses by allowing them to grow their market into obscure areas with many small, individual sales that can exceed mainstream sales. It provides examples of companies like Amazon, eBay, Google, iTunes/Rhapsody, and Netflix that have been able to leverage the Long Tail.
This document describes a savings plan called the Great Wealth Accumulator. It outlines how depositing RM200 each month for 21 years would earn cash bonuses of RM1,500 every 2 years, and then continuing to earn RM1,500 cash bonuses each year after that until age 71, for a total cash value of RM120,000. The first step to starting the plan is depositing RM200 each month.
The document discusses a research project that uses a smartphone app to collect subjective travel experience data from individuals. The app will provide feedback to users about their own experiences as well as those of others. The researchers aim to see if these interventions can change travel behaviors and reduce emissions. They will draw on theories from behavioral economics, psychology, and technology acceptance. An important goal is to pilot and refine the app to make it more usable and understand its impact on travel choices over multiple trials involving both strangers and friends.

The first settlers arrived in America during the last ice age when glaciers covered much of the planet. Lower sea levels exposed the Bering Strait, which early humans and animals crossed into North America. These first settlers lived nomadic lifestyles in small bands, hunting gigantic animals and gathering food. They used simple stone tools and constructed shelters from animal skins and branches. Over time, they began farming and domesticating animals, transitioning to more sedentary lifestyles in villages. The earliest settlers left behind cave paintings depicting their lives and communities.
The document summarizes a report from conservation groups that warns the planet is headed toward an "ecological credit crunch" as demands on natural resources exceed what the Earth can sustain by almost a third. The report shows the average decline in populations of over 1,000 species from 1970 to 2005 was 30%, and as much as 51% in tropical regions. It concludes that reckless consumption of natural resources is endangering future prosperity and that if demands continue to increase at the same rate, two planets' worth of resources would be needed by 2030s to sustain current lifestyles.

Part of the Problem, Part of the Solution Christian Response to the Environme...P4X
This document discusses the Christian response to the environmental crisis.

This document provides a sermon for Creation Time that makes three main points:
1. God has designed creation to flourish with biodiversity as seen in Job 38, but human activity is negatively impacting creation's flourishing through pollution, deforestation, and species extinction.
2. Creation's flourishing reveals characteristics of God as architect, parent, wisdom-giver and provider.
3. Christians are called to enhance creation's flourishing by caring for the environment based on biblical teachings, and to celebrate God's presence in nature.
This document provides sermon notes for 5 weeks of Creation Time 2010 based on readings from the Common Lectionary.
