Only 6% of TV Viewers Discover New Shows Via Social Media [INFOGRAPHIC] For the connected generation and those living in the digital age, quality content is king. New research focusing on television-viewing trends shows that traditional TV-marketing habits — on-air trailers and channel surfing — are helping viewers discover new shows more so than social media and websites.

The survey, conducted by independent analyst Ovum and commissioned by production technology company Avid, tapped more than 3,000 consumers — in the U.S., the UK, Brazil and Germany — to evaluate these trends in the 21st century’s multi-screen environment. The study found three main things, says W. Sean Ford, Avid’s vice president of worldwide marketing and CMO: A glut of broadcasters and media organizations are leaving money on the table (37% of respondents said they would pay for archived episodes of their favorite shows); 65% said image and audio quality was a key driver of their enjoyment; and there’s been an uncontested rise in multi-platform viewing.

It is a fermented chili paste that is used as a condiment and part of many dishes from salads, stews, meat dishes and more.

Made with chili peppers, glutinous rice and fermented chilies, gochujang has a thick paste-like consistency. It is excellent to use as part for a marinade like I did for these grilled chicken skewers. Let the chicken marinate for at least 1-2 hours, or more if you are able. These Korean inspired skewers have a mix of Asian flavors that go so well together, but the gochujang is definitely the highlight! Bamboo or metal skewers can work with this recipe. I like to use skewers that rest on a stand like this as lifting them up off the grill can help to prevent burning. Grilled Korean Chicken Skewers ⅓ cup gochujang¼ cup sugar2 tbsp soy sauce1 tbsp rice wine1 tbsp sesame oil2 garlic cloves, minced1 tbsp grated ginger2-3 boneless skinless chicken breastsskewers.

'Chromecast' device on Google support page hints at streaming TV dongle. Some visitors to Google’s support page have spotted something peculiar on the company’s list of devices — an unannounced product called "Chromecast," reports Droid-Life. It’s already been removed from the site and details are essentially nonexistent, but some are speculating that it could be a streaming HDMI dongle for the television. Droid-Life believes that the device could be an inexpensive way to "cast" content from the mobile or desktop Chrome browsers to your TV, bringing simple streaming of YouTube videos, Google Play purchases, and other web content to the living room.

If the device is real (support staff reportedly said that it was only available in certain areas), we should hopefully find out more about it at Google’s event tomorrow. 27 Life Hacks Every Girl Should Know About.

He had been brought by a friend to this mouldering house in a northern suburb, through an old garden to the room where Ambrose the recluse dozed and dreamed over his books.

"Yes," he went on, "magic is justified of her children. I There are many, I think, who eat dry crusts and drink water, with a joy infinitely sharper than anything within the experience of the 'practical' epicure. " "You are speaking of the saints? " "Yes, and of the sinners, too. "And you think the great sinner, then, will be an ascetic, as well as the great saint?

Conversion: Big Data's Sidekick. InShare15 You can’t have missed the buzz about how big data tools can take your business to a whole new level. They can, but, by themselves, they are not going to solve all your business challenges. Often, they suggest opportunities you can turn into insight and specific solutions. But, other factors directly influence how successful your big data strategies will be.

Do you want to know how satisfying your customer experience is? If you want those big data tools to work for you, you need to pay relentless attention to the principles of conversion rate optimization. Optimizing conversion rates is not exciting. There is a part of the big data/conversion equation many overlook. As you monitor the big data landscape, keep in mind basic analytics are still a powerful way to understand how to improve customer satisfaction. Data is nice. The War on Marijuana in Black and White: Report. June 3, 2013 OVER-POLICING Between 2001 and 2010, there were over 8 million pot arrests in the U.S. That’s one bust every 37 seconds and hundreds of thousands ensnared in the criminal justice system.
