View Curriculum
  • No academic prerequisites are required for this course, although a passion for drawing is always an advantage. Necessary equipment includes…
  • Pencils, punched animation paper, animation pegbar, basic lightbox and image capture device/software is required. •t(Note: Online animation suppliers are a good source for most of this equipment. A cheap beginners package can be found at “Lightfoot Limited” in the USA at http://www.lightfootltd.com/content/animation-basic-principles-kit. A more durable, deluxe European-based kit can be found a “ChromaColor International” at http://www.chromacolour.co.uk/productdetail.php?param=597&parent=Traditional%202D%20Animation&child=Animation%20Kits.)
  • A current copy of the “ToonBoom Studio 8.0” software is required to complete the digital aspects of this course work. (Note: A discount for ToonBoom Studio software is available for students signing up for “Animation 101”… details upon request.)

Award-winning master animator, author and teacher Tony White offers 29 outstanding online tutorials on the core principles and techniques of 2D animation. Through extensive illustrated text-based lectures and over 4 hours of over-the-shoulder, apprentice-style video tutorials, Tony offers the finest foundation material possible in here presenting "Mastering 2D Animation: 01"!

Each of Tony's tutorials embrace a comprehensive, step-by-step, apprentice-style of instruction, using both classically hand-drawn techniques and vector digital ones. Students should note that the core principles of movement taught in this course material however can always be applied to ALL forms of animation - from '3D' to 'Stop-frame', from 'Cut-out' to 'Claymation'!

(Note: The digital elements of this course are demonstrated using ToonBoom Studio. However, ToonBoom Technologies have since replaced 'Studio' with 'Harmony Essentials'. So students are strongly advised to obtain a rudimentary knowledge of this software before studying the digital aspects in this course. That way they will be better able to translate the 'Studio' instructions with the 'Harmony Essentials' ones without too much trouble.)

Tony believes the 'apprenticeship' style of teaching is the ONLY way to really learn animation and that the instruction offered by some of the big, for-profit animation schools and colleges around the world is entirely inadequate for the modern professional world. Consequently, by literally drawing from his own early apprenticeship experiences with three of the finest master animators of all-time - Richard Williams (3 times Oscar winner), Ken Harris (Warner Brothers) & Art Babbit (Disney) - Tony has crafted here a series of unique and defining courses that are knowledgeable, accessible and perfectly suited to studies in a home-based environment.

Who is the target audience?
  • Suitable for students of all interests but specifically...
  • Anyone seeking to make 2D animation his or her career objective.
  • Current students who want to supplement their existing animation course with the most comprehensive animation training available.
  • Existing professional animators who want to raise the level of their own work.
  • Professional artists and illustrators who want to see their drawings move.
  • Animation teachers who want to expand their knowledge of animation knowledge and teaching practices in the classroom.
  • Home-based enthusiasts who want to animate as well as they did in the golden days of Hollywood animation.

Learning from the past to build more successfully for the future:

"Endangered Species" is a personal animated homage I directed & animated a few years ago with the help of my students at the time. It was dedicated to the memory of Walt Disney and the classical moments of traditional animation history which have always had an impact on me and my career. The characters in the film have been re-designed to prevent copyright complications, using a disguised 'Arnie' template. However, the animated movements featured in the film are replicated as closely as possible to the original movie clips. A more detailed analysis of this film, it techniques and its context, can be found in a scene-by-scene basis on the disk that is included with my Focal Press book, "Animation from Pencils to Pixels ~ Classical Techniques for Digital Animators".

In the previous lessonwe looked briefly at animation’s past and saw your instructor's own personal animated homage to the classic moments of traditional animation that influenced his career and gave him a solid foundation of expertise to build upon. Now its time to learn how you can begin to make your own mark in this great tradition. This lecture give you a list of all the tools and equipment you’ll need to begin to become a great animator in your own right.

I've included this video here to introduce students to a current example of my work. The center section particularly provides an insight into how a traditional/digital 2D production need not have a predictable 'cartoon' approach.

Introduction and production overview of "Spirit of the Game" teaser:
The process of traditional 2D animation
1 Lecture 11:31

This lesson outlines the actual process that all the best traditional animators take when creating their work. Every animator will have their own particular variations to it of course but what is outlined here will provide you with a solid overview of the ideal process. From it you can test it out and then eventually evolve your own personal approach as you gain further experience of what you want to do.

The basic 2D animation process:
5 Lectures 01:23:44

We now get to the point where you will at last start your journey as an apprentice animator.

What will follow is a series of over-the-shoulder, stage-by-stage video lectures on how you can animate a basic 'Bouncing Ball'. In this sequence, you'll possibly learn the secrets of not only drawing animation for the first time but also some of the core principles of movement - such as 'gravity', 'squash' and 'stretch'.

These video's are uniquely made in such a way that its almost as if you'll a genuine apprentice animator from the old days in the industry - sitting at the shoulders of a master animator, learning first-hand as you go along. As has been said before, this has always been the best and only way of learning the core process of animation, after all is said and done!

Before all that though, let's quickly go over a brief, illustrated overview on the process of 'Bouncing Ball' animation. By doing this you'll be better prepared for the one-on-one video lectures that will follow.

Later, when your pencil-drawn Bouncing Ball exercise is complete, we'll move you on to the vector-based, 2D animation program, "ToonBoom Studio", where you'll ink and color your animation digitally, add a background of your choice and then render it out to become the first animated QuickTime movie clip you'll create on your exciting journey towards being an animation master!

Preview 03:36

This is the first 'apprenticeship-style' step you will take at the 2D Academy. Here you'll learn the foundational basics of the 'bouncing ball' action in as simple a way as possible. The instructions are designed to be easy to follow, so if all goes well your final 'bouncing ball' assignment will very quickly amaze you!

'Bouncing Ball' ~ first pass:

Having created your first, hopefully perfect, 'bouncing ball' it is now time to add a simple effect that will make your animation even more convincing. Here you'll learn the process of adding 'shadow' to your action - both on the ball itself and to the ground beneath it. This will provide more of a sense of spherical volume for the ball and a better contact with the ground when the ball lands on it.

Bouncing Ball - adding shadows:

This is where things get really interesting! Here you will import your 'bouncing ball' pencil-test into the "ToonBoom Studio" vector-based software to ink and color it. You'll also add a ground shadow to complete this particular lecture. Its amazing what even a little coloring can do to take your pencil-drawn animation to the next level!

Bouncing Ball in ToonBoom Studio ~ Part 01

Here you will learn to add a colored shadow to your actual ball layer artwork. You will then import a background into the proceedings to give it all a better sense of presence and location.

You'll then learn how to modify and adjust your animated ball and shadow within your chosen background - as you then animate the ball to bounce towards us in perspective.

Finally, you'll learn how to animate your ball bouncing across the screen, erratically, from right to left and against a different background. Its surprising how this too can give a greater sense cinematic personality to your ball action - which, after all, is only comprised of 6 really simple drawings!

TBS_Part 02
Tutorial: GENERIC WALK ~ the hand-drawn way:
7 Lectures 01:13:16

Once upon a time in London...

At the beginning of my career I apprenticed with some of the greatest master animators ever _ i.e. Ken Harris (Warner Brothers - 'Bugs Bunny' & 'Roadrunner'), Art Babbit (The 'Tenth Old Man' of Disney animation in the golden era) and Richard Williams (3 times Oscar winner).

They all told me that the hardest thing to create convincingly in animation was a basic 'Generic Walk' action. The went on to tell me that if I could pull off a good, solid, generic walking action then I should be able to just about animate anything! This is because the principles involved in a good generic walk pretty much apply to everything else in animation. I was totally determined therefore to learn everything I could about walks - and the principles of animated movement - from that moment onwards!

The 'golden triangle' of mentors I apprenticed with at the beginning of my career - left lower, Richard Williams; center, Ken Harris; right/lower Art Babbit. Featured in orange is another great mentor I learned from at this time (1975) - Grim Natwick (creator/animator of "Betty Boop"). The fresh-faced kid in the white circle next to Grim, daunted by all this animation greatness around him, is 'yours truly' incidentally. Great, great times indeed!)

Now, your 2 'Generic Walk' exercises:

The following set of lectures are two definitive approaches to creating your own convincing 'Generic Walk'. We start with the classic, traditional, hand-drawn approach, then we follow that up with a definitive vector animation approach, possible through the ToonBoom Studio software technology.

Nowadays, I have also come around to the belief that it is fundamentally important for a student animator to know how to animate a good and convincing walking action before anything else. This is why it is offered here, virtually at the beginning of your long journey to animation mastery.

I would strongly advise that you tackle the traditional approach first, prior to taking advantage of the valuable shortcuts that ToonBoom Studio offers. 'Knowing it by drawing it' is the best way of the principles of animated movement really sink into your brain - and this will definitely enable you to raise the game of your animation to a much higher level in the final outcome.

That said, if you do struggle with drawing it is still perfectly possible to pull off a good generic walking action using the ToonBoom Studio approach alone. The choice is entirely yours. Although ultimately, the real secret of anything is in knowing WHAT you are doing - and WHY you are doing it and doing the drawn version definitely helps in this process!

Have fun with your animated 'generic walk' assignment...

How to animate a drawn 'Generic Walk'

Setting-up the first full-body, key stride position, from which everything else is developed.

01 Setting up the full body position:

The firm foundation of any good walk action is fundamentally the animation of the legs and pelvic area. Upon these everything else is built. Consequently, here we will just focus on the leg action and establishing the 2 key stride positions.

02 The key stride positions:

With the 2 key stride positions in place, we now move on to create the position that is half-way between them - the passing position.

03 The 'Passing Position':

To make the walk action look more dynamic and natural you now need to add eccentric foot positions to the movements at the front and the back of the stride action. These are therefore not just straight in-betweens. This lecture explains the mystery!

04 Eccentric Foot positions:

With the animation of the legs completed (and hopefully looking great) it is now time to add body and arms to the action. This will really start to make your walk look like a walk!

05 Adding the body and arms:

Here we will complete the entire walk action - giving it a greater sense of fluidity and flexibility at the same time. We'll do this by adding the head and hands and giving them overlapping action.

06 Adding the head and hands:
2 Lectures 26:50

As inbetweening is a crucial part of the hand-drawn animation process, I think it would perhaps benefit students if I shared some of the instruction I learned when I was also a young apprentice myself. We start with this lecture I once recorded, which covers with the basic principles of inbetweening. Then we'll dig deeper into more advanced inbetweening, including superimposition.

Introduction to Inbetweening:

The art of inbetweening is a whole study in itself. Here you will observe the entire process of inbetweening two key drawings within a full-body Generic Walk cycle. Of special interest here is the invaluable technique of superimposition - which is rarely written about anywhere else, as it was really only ever demonstrated in the kind of apprenticeship studio environment that sadly no longer exists.

Advanced Inbetweening - with 'Superimposition':
GENERIC WALK - the ToonBoom Studio way:
6 Lectures 01:02:49
First, download your ARNIE RIG!

Here you are introduced to both the ToonBoom Studio interface and the Arnie Rig. You will also learn how to create a key stride pose with your rig and add ground lines that will help with the generic walk animation later.

GW_TBS_Part 01:

Here you will create your opposite key strides in the walking action with both arms and legs - and then you will add the 2 passing positions. At the end of this section you should begin to see the first rudiments of your digital generic walk shaping up!

GW_TBS_Part 02:

Now you will be adding the extreme foot positions to your generic walk leg action - as you did before with the hand-drawn version.

GW_TBS_Part 03

Here you will be effectively completing your ToonBoom Studio generic walk by adding overlapping action to the hands and head. Woo-hoo!

GW_TBS_Part 04

And now the 'cherry on the top'! Finally you will be extending your walking action along the timeline - that is, beyond just the repeated looping action you had before. Then you will match this extended walk sequence to a panning background - so your character can walk bravely forward through an environment of your own choice.

GW TBS Part 05
Final advice for an Apprentice:
3 Lectures 08:39
'Drawing for Animation' - a recommended assignment:

A simple video test like this will give you an initial idea of how the filmed element of your sequential drawing exercise is looking. Specifically, if all looks good, it will then enable you to move on to the next stage of final colored rendering.

Test video render of 'drawing assignment':

Here is the conclusion of this recommended drawing assignment. By adding color, lighting effects and music you can transform your initial drawing sketches into what might be considered as an interesting example of moving art.

University of Missouri Board of Curators releases response to AAUP on Click investigation

John Fougere

March 17, 2016

COLUMBIA – The University of Missouri Board of Curators today released its response to the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) on the investigation and termination of former University of Missouri-Columbia professor Melissa Click.

The board’s response addressed the AAUP’s complaint that Dr. Click did not receive “an adjudicative hearing before an elected faculty body” and that her dismissal without such a faculty hearing was “fundamentally at odds with basic standards of academic due process as set forth in the joint 1940 Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom and Tenure and the 1958 Statement on Procedural Standards in Faculty Dismissal Proceedings.”

The board submitted the written response to the AAUP in lieu of meeting with AAUP representatives. Among the points made by the board in its 10-page response:

  • The board’s action in terminating the employment of Dr. Click is fundamentally consistent with AAUP’s statements. None of the association’s statements establish an absolute right or requirement for a faculty hearing. Instead, their core principles concern protection of academic freedom and tenure. The matter involving Dr. Click did not concern her academic freedom and the board’s action does not undermine the principle of tenure (which Dr. Click did not have).

  • While the board endorses the normative practice of faculty hearings in cases of mid-term dismissal, it found it necessary to act on its own in this singular instance when existing university procedures failed to address the seriousness of Dr. Click’s conduct. The board based its decision on facts that were not in dispute and applied university standards that are consistent (and in some cases identical) with the AAUP’s expectations for a faculty member. Ultimately, the decision to terminate a faculty member’s employment rests with a governing board, as the 1958 statement recognizes. In reaching its decision in Dr. Click’s case, the board provided her with fairness and due process.

  • The board’s action does not threaten academic freedom or tenure and does not warrant censure. Rather, it serves as an occasion to review existing practice and processes in an effort to ensure that any future instance of faculty misconduct will be addressed with faculty review and without the need for the board to act on its own. The board intends to engage in such a review in collaboration with faculty.

Moody’s Investors Service affirms UM System’s credit rating and outlook as stable in update

Kelly Wiemann

July 18, 2016

Report cites prudent financial management, increased profitability of health care system, to support outlook as stable

COLUMBIA, Mo. – Moody’s Investors Service, one of the nation’s premier credit rating services, announced an affirmation of the University of Missouri System’s high-grade Aa1 credit rating, pronouncing the outlook for the system’s overall credit rating as stable.  Moody’s opinion came after analysts traveled to Missouri to visit with university leadership to assess the outlook from a first-hand perspective.

Aa1 is the second highest long-term credit rating an institution can receive. Less than 10% of the public institutions rated by Moody’s fall within their top two rating categories.

In its report, Moody’s cited the UM System’s large scale as a multi-campus system and importance in delivering educational and medical services in the Aaa-rated State of Missouri, to underpin its Aa1 rating. A history of prudent financial management, as demonstrated by nimble expense reductions and the ability to curtail long-term liabilities, combined with the improved profitability of the University’s health care system, was also found by Moody’s to support its Aa1 rating.

“This affirmation and outlook is welcome news and accurately reflects the hard work of so many on our campuses and our health system to serve the citizens of Missouri in all they do,” UM System Interim President Michael Middleton said. “Moody’s noted appropriately that the budget increase in state appropriations from the General Assembly and Governor was a significant factor in this rating and outlook. We are extremely grateful for the state’s continued efforts to fund our institution and remain confident in both our partnership with the state and our ability to serve the state and educate the next generation of students.”

UM System strengths outlined in the analysis include:

  • The depth and breadth of the entire system with four campuses and a health system providing valuable services unmatched statewide;
  • Strong liquidity to meet debt service needs;
  • Proactive efforts by management and the Board to reduce long-term liabilities with recent changes to retiree medical benefits;
  • Prudent financial management, including willingness to adjust expenses accordingly; and
  • A strong, self-supporting, profitable health enterprise with added capacity and affiliations to increase cash flow.

“We are very pleased with the in-depth review and outcome that Moody’s analysts presented in this updated outlook on the UM System,” UM System Vice President for Finance and Chief Financial Officer Brian Burnett said. “A great deal of credit is due to our faculty, staff and leaders who continue to serve our students and state and are making difficult decisions in a challenging fiscal environment.”

Moody's Investors Service is a leading provider of credit ratings, research, and risk analysis. Moody's commitment and expertise contributes to transparent and integrated financial markets. The firm's ratings and analysis track debt covering more than 120 sovereign nations, approximately 11,000 corporate issuers, 21,000 public finance issuers, and 72,000 structured finance obligations. Moody's Investors Service is a subsidiary of Moody's Corporation (NYSE: MCO), which reported revenue of $3.5 billion in 2015, employs approximately 10,800 people worldwide and maintains a presence in 36 countries. Further information is available at www.moodys.com.

Microsoft has released five security patches, none critical but still rated "important" by the software giant. The flaws affect desktop and server installations of Windows.

According to its rating system, "important" is used for issues that require a user action to spread a worm, but could still expose user data or threaten system resources.

A set of vulnerabilities in WordPad affect even Windows XP SP2. An attacker could exploit the flaws to gain complete control over the systems, Microsoft warned in bulletin MS04-041. The flaws lie in conversion components. To exploit them, an attacker would have to lure a victim to a specially crafted Web page or send an e-mail attachment.

Microsoft deems the WordPad issue "important" on systems running Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 and Windows XP with Service Pack 1. Systems running Windows XP SP2 or Windows Server 2003 are at lesser risk, according to Microsoft. Also, an installation of Microsoft Word mitigates the risk, the vendor said.

Affecting the same Windows releases is a security vulnerability in HyperTerminal. A buffer overrun flaw in the Windows communications application could allow an attacker to take over a victim's system, Microsoft said in MS04-043. A successful attack would require the victim to open a malicious HyperTerminal file.

Limited to Windows NT Server 4.0 are two flaws in the operating system's DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server service. One could allow an attacker to launch a denial of service attack, disabling the DHCP service. The second vulnerability could allow remote code execution, Microsoft said in MS04-042.

A set of flaws in the Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) affect Windows NT Server 4.0, Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003. An attacker could gain control of a system running the software by constructing a malicious network packet, Microsoft said in MS04-045.

WINS is a network infrastructure component that provides a distributed database for registering and querying dynamic computer name-to-IP address mapping in a routed network. Details of a WINS flaw were first published last month on the BugTraq mailing list by security company Immunity.

Finally, Microsoft warned of security flaws in the Windows kernel and the Windows Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS). Both are privilege escalation vulnerabilities, which could allow an attacker who has already logged on to a system to escalate his privileges and get full access, Microsoft said.

The kernel and LSASS issues affect Windows NT Server 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, Microsoft said in MS04-044.

The bulletins are part of Microsoft's monthly update cycle. The next "patch Tuesday" is the second Tuesday of January.

Hi, Manasi For state board best book to refer is your textbook along with some local publication, because different state board has different pattern and only local publication will help you in great extent. for eg. Navneet publication for Mharastra State board. RD Sharma or S Chand is for CBSE pattern which is a national board, but if you want it can help you.

Explaining human behavior

History and Orientation

Heider (1958) was the first to propose a psychological theory of attribution, but Weiner and colleagues (e.g., Jones et al, 1972; Weiner, 1974, 1986) developed a theoretical framework that has become a major research paradigm of social psychology. Heider discussed what he called “naïve” or “commonsense” psychology. In his view, people were like amateur scientists, trying to understand other people’s behavior by piecing together information until they arrived at a reasonable explanation or cause.

Core Assumptions and Statements

Attribution theory is concerned with how individuals interpret events and how this relates to their thinking and behavior. Attribution theory assumes that people try to determine why people do what they do. A person seeking to understand why another person did something may attribute one or more causes to that behavior. According to Heider a person can make two attributions 1) internal attribution, the inference that a person is behaving in a certain way because of something about the person, such as attitude, character or personality. 2) external attribution, the inference that a person is behaving a certain way because of something about the situation he or she is in.

Our attributions are also significantly driven by our emotional and motivational drives. Blaming other people and avoiding personal recrimination are very real self-serving attributions. We will also make attributions to defend what we perceive as attacks. We will point to injustice in an unfair world. We will even tend to blame victims (of us and of others) for their fate as we seek to distance ourselves from thoughts of suffering the same plight. We will also tend to ascribe less variability to other people than ourselves, seeing ourselves as more multifaceted and less predictable than others. This may well because we can see more of what is inside ourselves (and spend more time doing this).

Conceptual Model

Not applicable.

Favorite Methods

Various methods have been employed in the measurement and categorization of attributions. Open-ended methods involve the researcher categorizing the oral replies of participants to open-ended questions. Derived score methods require the participant to rate his/her reasons for, for example, a success or failure on 5-point scales for different elements (e.g. ability or effort) related to the attribution dimensions. The direct rating method (e.g. [Benson, 1989), requires the participant to state his/her reasons for the event and then map those reasons onto items referring to attribution dimensions.

Scope and Application

Attribution theory has been used to explain the difference in motivation between high and low achievers. According to attribution theory, high achievers will approach rather than avoid tasks related to succeeding, because they believe success is due to high ability and effort which they are confident of. Failure is thought to be caused by bad luck or a poor exam and is not their fault. Thus, failure doesn't affect their self-esteem but success builds pride and confidence. On the other hand, low achievers avoid success-related chores because they tend to (a) doubt their ability and/or (b) assume success is related to luck or to "who you know" or to other factors beyond their control. Thus, even when successful, it isn't as rewarding to the low achiever because he/she doesn't feel responsible, it doesn't increase his/her pride and confidence.

If, for example, a runner had already been expending high effort, but had failed to reach a race final, then encouraging him to attribute the failure to lack of effort might simply demoralise him (see, e.g. [Robinson, 1990). If the qualifying standard were simply too difficult to meet, then encouraging attributions to lack of effort might serve little purpose, because increasing effort would probably do little to improve outcomes. If the wrong race strategy were used, then increasing effort would not logically lead to improved outcomes, if the same strategy were used in future.

We loved the place and it was better than expected. It is spacious, clean and very comfortable. We were out most of the time, because was our first trip to Florida. The location (between Orlando and Miami) was perfect to drive north and south during our stay. Every thing is pretty far (around 200 Km) to both sides, but for what we intended to do it was great. The owner was very friendly during all contacts we made (basically by e-mail) and all our doubts were answered fast and precisely . It was a great experience and we intend to repeat it in a couple of years.

Reviewed 29 Mar 2012

The house was sufficient but not overly stocked with dishes & pots & pans to cook with. Also thought the furniture could have been a little more comfortable.We were disgusted with the condition of the carpets as they were filthy and had not been cleaned for some time..leaving us to wonder what little creatures could be in them. some of the spots had been there for a very long time. The owner was contacted by email and told shortly after our arrival; she said she didn't have time to do it between rentals.There was a severe problem with small ants in the kitchen cupboards. I am told houses in Florida have to be fumigated very often. the location was not close to shopping .I would not choose Port St Lucie again.

Owner's reply: The carpets - steam cleaning carpets does require at least 2 full days to dry completely. I had tried to spot clean stains with green machine carpet cleaner but unfortunatly it didn't get much up and seemed to attract more dirt instead, making them seem like old stains. When guests come and allow small childern free reign with jucie boxes and candy we have the burdon of trying to right their wrongs and since houses are pre-booked sometimes we don't have time ample time between guests to steam clean. It is shedualed to be done on the 16th of April. As to the I'm sorry there was a problem with small ants but I was only told of this just two days before this guests departure. I do have pest control come bi-monthly unless there is a problem and a business card and contact number is on fridge in case there is an issue - unfortunately along with the warm climate of Florida ants can be a problem. The pest control man came and serviced the house and and there hasn't been a problem since. Last guests who just left spent a month at our house and didn't have any problem with ants.

Weighted Geometric Mean (DataSet criteria)

Weighted Geometric Mean (DataSet criteria)
Variable Instructions Datatype
Table Text
1 variables
MichaelBartmess.Weighted Geometric Mean (DataSet criteria)

This equation computes the weighted geometric mean of a set of input criteria and their associated weights.  The criteria and weights are input from a Data Set. The user specifies the Data Set to be used by simply making a copy of this equation and adding the Data Set's UUID to the enumerated list of TableIDs that is the input to this equation.  The Data Set used must have the weights in a column labeled "Weights" and the criteria data in a column labeled "Criteria."

The weighted geometric mean is a powerful equation in decision analysis applications, allowing you to weight and combine externally generated values for a set of decision criteria.  This Data set version of the equation is limited only by the number of rows of data provided in the Data Set whose UUID you added to the enumerated set. It is assumed the Criteria data has been normalized.

Given a set of data,  X = {`x_1, x_2, ... , x_n`}, the corresponding weights are: W = {`w_1, w_2, ... , w_n`}.  This equation computes the resultant weighted geometric mean.

If all the weights are set equal, the weighted geometric mean is equivalent to the common geometric mean.

vCalc has the means to attach an equation, in this case the weighted geometric mean, to columns of data in a data set, so this statistical function can be applied to a much larger set of decision criteria than ten items.    This alternative version of the weighted geometric mean equation which pulls the decision criteria values and decision criteria weights from a Data Set can be easily copied and used for many forms of decision analysis, i.e. making choices amongst complex systems of decision criteria.

This equation's particular implementation of the weighted geometric mean is intended to to support comparisons of combined criteria that are best combined when normalized.  In the example presented here, the criteria are all monetary elements of the problem representing the costs  of various components that may or may not be included in the final combined choices.  Thus the criteria are normalized to the value of a dollar, making the use of these cost components very straightforward.

The weighted geometric mean has the ease-of-use characteristic that any data value whose weight is set to zero will not affect the result.  So, this allows you to do quick what-if analysis where, in addition to trying different combination of data values and weights, you can test the question of "what if I don't consider the n-th criteria at all".

The obvious use in decision support applications is the ability to changes weights representing relative importance of a specific criteria and/or the criteria values themselves and compare the results to another set of weights and criteria values.

In this example a vendor is trying to make a decision whether it is cost effective to sign up to provide their product at an upcoming event.  The event has a fixed fee associated with it, so the fee is the first cost component. If the vendor signs up but then backs out, there is a cost associated with angering the event sponsors and the cost is attributed to the potential revenue generated in future events.

The vendor also has a choice to hire staff to support the event.  The alternative could be to do the event with the vendor themselves the only person supporting the event.  The cost of doing so is a pain function which can be attributed a dollar value equivalent to the number of staff that might support the event.  The vendor estimates they need three staff to fully replace them, so zero pain is equivalent to the cost of three staff for the event.

There are other fixed costs that are associated with choosing to attend the event: hotel costs (for the vendor and any staff, food costs, gas expenses, cost of product.

One additional cost is associated with the time to prepare for the event, which would be taken away from time to produce additional product for sale at later events.  Since the time to prepare for, travel to/from, and support the event can be accurately estimated, it can be associated with the cost of goods produced in that same amount of time.

In this case the vendor chooses to attend the event, and so pays the event fee of $500.  The vendor decides to take hire two staff at eight dollars an hour for the event duration of two 12 hour days.  The drive is approximately 1-3/4 hours and 110 miles.  Travel time is paid time since the staff cannot be using that time themselves.  That makes the staff wages 27.5 total hours at $8 /hour or total of $220.

Because there are two staff, the pain factor is cut by 2/3 for the same duration of the show.  To look at alternatives, the vendor in the final analysis could choose to ignore the pain factor of doing the show (by simply zeroing its weight)  but in this comparison case the vendor chooses to consider their pain factor.

The drive is approximately 1-3/4 hours and 110 miles. Gas at $3.75 / gallon and 15 miles per gallon for the company vehicle make the gas expense $55.

Two rooms are acquired for two nights at $58/night, which totals $232.

The vendor predicts the revenue from this event will be approximately $4500.  The cost of angering the event sponsors would be not being invited back for five years and thus giving up the same revenue for five years.  So, that value is $22,500.

What Is Consumer Psychology?

A closer look at the psychology of consumer behavior

Consumer psychologists study buying behavior
Betsie Van Der Meer / Getty Images

Are you interested in why and how people buy some products and not others? Have you ever wondered how media messages influence a shopper's buying choices? If so, then you might be interested in the growing field known as consumer psychology.

Consumer psychology is a specialty area that studies how our thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and perceptions influence how people buy and relate to goods and services.

One formal definition of the field describes it as "the study of individuals, groups, or organizations and the processes they use to select, secure, use, and dispose of products, services, experiences, or ideas to satisfy needs and the impacts that these processes have on the consumer and society"."

Professionals in this field look at things like the decision-making process, social persuasion and motivation to help understand why shoppers buy some things but not others. In this overview of the profession, learn more about what consumer psychologists do and where they work.

An Overview of Consumer Psychology

According to the Society for Consumer Psychology, division 23 of the American Psychological Association, consumer psychology "employs theoretical psychological approaches to understanding consumers."

This field is often considered a sub-specialty of industrial-organizational psychology and is also known as the psychology of consumer behavior or the psychology of marketing.

Consumer psychologists study a variety of topics including:

  • How consumers choose businesses, products and services
  • The thought processes and emotions behind consumer decisions
  • How environmental variables such as friends, family, media, and culture influence buying decisions
  • What motivates people to choose one product over another
  • How personal factors and individual difference affect people's buying choices
  • What marketers can do to effectively reach out to their target customers

What Do Consumer Psychologists Do?

Because businesses need to understand their consumers in order to develop products and marketing campaigns that appeal to their target audience, consumer psychologists often spend a great deal of time learning more about what makes shoppers tick. This often involves first figuring out the target audience for a particular product including the gender, age, and socioeconomic status of the typical shopper. Next, the consumer psychologist might begin researching the types of products and marketing messages that appeal to these types of buyers.

Other consumer psychologists might focus on social marketing, or how ideas and messages spread among groups. Researchers might be interested in getting out information about a product or an important public health message. Learning how beliefs and attitudes spread among groups can help organizations learn how to better get their message out and encourage word-of-mouth marketing.

Consumer psychologists often conduct research to learn more about buyer behavior. Common research methods used by these professionals include experiments, phone surveys, focus groups, direct observations, and questionnaires.

Chances are good that you have participated in at least one market research survey in your life. These are often conducted by phone, but may also be done online or through direct mail. In a survey, consumers are often asked to describe their past shopping behavior, factors that influenced their decision-making, and their future buying plans.

Researchers also typically gather details about each respondent's sex, age, race, educational history, and current financial situation. This type of information can be very useful since it allows researchers to look for patterns and learn more about who buys certain products.

For example, using a survey might allow researchers to discover that women between the ages of 30 and 45 who have a household income between $50,000 to $100,000 are most likely to buy a particular product or service. By knowing this, they can then begin designing marketing campaigns aimed at this target audience.

Education and Training Requirements

Most entry-level jobs in consumer psychology require at least a bachelor's degree in psychology. Jobs at this level typically involve planning, conducting, and interpreting the results of market research campaigns. Those interested in more advanced positions or in teaching at the university level will need a master's or doctorate degree in an area related to consumer psychology. Such degree options include general psychology, industrial-organizational psychology, marketing, and consumer studies.

If you are interested in becoming a consumer psychologist, focus on taking courses that will build your understanding of human behavior, marketing, social psychology, personality, and culture. In addition to learning more about the factors that influence how people think and behave, having a solid background in advertising and marketing can also be very helpful. Finally, it is essential to be well-versed in experimental methods. Coursework in experimental design and statistics is essential.

Consumer Psychology Career Options

The career path you ultimately choose will depend a great deal upon your interests and educational background. For example, if you have an interest in conducting theoretical research and teaching, consider earning a doctorate degree so that you can teach courses and perform original research at a university. If you prefer to work in an area like market research, advertising, or sales, a bachelor's degree might be sufficient.

Other job options include acting as a consultant for private businesses or working for government agencies. In such jobs, consumer psychologists might be asked to perform a wide range of duties including development marketing campaigns, researching buyer trends, designing social media advertising, or analyzing statistics.

German company purchases Polypropylene Business from Dow Seadrift

By Advocate staff
July 28, 2011 at 2:28 a.m.

Dow Chemical's plant at Seadrift is part of a sale to a German company.

Braskem S.A., a leading resin producer, announced Thursday the acquisition of the Polypropylene Business from Dow for $323 million.

This transaction represents an important step in Braskem's growth strategy in the Americas and also consolidates its PP leadership in the U.S., a release issued by the company stated.

Polypopylene Business has a total annual polypropylene production capacity of 1,050 thousand tons, with four industrial plants in the U.S. and Germany. The two plants located in the U.S., at Freeport and Seadrift add up to 505 thousand tons, increasing Braskem's polypropylene capacity by 50 percent in the region. Braskem already has two plants in Germany, at the petrochemical complexes of Wesseling and Schkopau, which have an annual capacity of 545 thousand tons of polypropylene.

"The acquisition of Dow's PP assets positions Braskem as the leading producer of polypropylene in the U.S., the world's largest thermoplastic resin market, and it also enhances our current position in Europe, an important market for our biopolymers strategy, Braskem's CEO Carlos Fadigas said.

"In addition, as our 2nd acquisition in the US, this transaction will enable Braskem to capture approximately $140 million in synergies through a more diversified portfolio, a more leveraged fixed cost base and working capital, logistics and supply optimization", he also said.

The closing of this transaction is expected to happen by the end of the third quarter 2011 pending regulatory approvals.

Top 5 Dating Places in Seoul (part 1)
1. Blind Restaurant: This unique restaurant located at Konkuk University, was the first place I went on a date to when I went to Seoul. This restaurant is in total darkness. You will eat in total darkness. It is hard to eat because of how dark it is but that is what makes this place unique and fun. You will also be given a piece of paper where you can write a letter to your significant other or a review. This place is really good for couples that just started dating or couples who may want to become even closer since the darkness actually makes you talk. If you plan to visit this restaurant, you will have to call for a reservation.
2. Namsan/ Seoul Tower: My second best dating place in Seoul is Seoul Tower. Seoul Tower is located on the top of the Namsan Mountain. This place offers one of the best panoramic views of Seoul City and surrounding areas. This place got even more popular among young visitors after the drama My Love from Another Star. Namsan Tower is popular for their Love Padlocks which are hanging everywhere and which can be purchased at any store by the tower. If you are planning on going to the tower, your best option will be to take the cable car that leaves from Myeongdong. The price for a roundtrip by taking the cable car is 8500 Won.
3. Naksan Park: Naksan park is also a place that offers a nice panoramic view of seoul city. However, this place is really nice for the night view of the city. It is kinda hard to find this place and short hiking has to be done in order to come to the top of the park. If you want to visit the park then take the subway to Hyehwa station, exit 2. While visiting Naksan Park, don't forget to go to Ihwa Mural Village. You can walk to this village from the park. It is kinda hard to find so I recommend to ask the people around you. This village is popular for the art found on the walls and road. This village appears in most of K-Dramas.
4. Ssamziegil: Ssamziegil is a traditional cultural shopping center located on Insadong Street. It offers around 70 small stores that sells everything from clothes, accessories and art. Most of the things offered here are unique and handcrafted. There are a lot of workshops offered in Ssamziegil, which therefore attracts a lot of young people. You can create something of your own and you can even create couple things. The grounds of the shopping center is connected by spiral staircases. Take your time while walking to each ground because there are a lot of unique art on the way. On the top floor of Ssamziegil there will be something similar to the Love padlocks found in Namsan tower. However, these are small cards on which you can write a message and then hang. While being on the top level don't forget to eat the poo-shaped red bean cake, called Ddong Bbang (똥빵). Direction to Ssamziegil: Anguk Station, Exit 6
5. Trick Eye & Ice Museum: This place is a place you have to visit if you haven't visited a 3D museum before.This place was packed with people the day I went with my boyfriend. We had to stand in line in order to take the pictures. Trick Eye and Ice Museum is a fun place to go if you like to take pictures while having fun. Trick Eye and Ice Museum are two different types of museum located in the same building. The ticket work for both of them. This Trick Eye we went to is located in Hongdae but there are other 3D museums found in Seoul. If you are 18+ and not shy then there is also a Love museum located in the same building. Direction: Hongik University Station, Exit 9.

About the Property

House, 2 Bedrooms + Den, 1.5 Baths, (Sleeps 4-6)

In the middle of Gros-Morne National Park, designated as a World Heritage site by UNESCO, sits the quaint village of Rocky Harbour.

The village is an enclave within Gros Morne National Park, and thus residents and tourists alike are close to hiking trails with spectacular views, boat tours, heated indoor swimming pool with hot tub and cross-county ski trails in season.

Our house sits on the south shore of Rocky Harbour. It has its own beach and wharf. Rocky Harbour is a working fishing harbour so expect to see fishermen heading out towards the lighthouse in the early hours of morning and returning laden down with catches from mid-morning onwards. Our wharf and beach gather the flotsam and jetsam of a fishing port. Although care should be taken when playing in this area, great fun can be had exploring the beach fossicking treasures washed in by the sea.

The rental property is a modern and spacious (1400 sq. ft., or 130 sq. meters) house on the water front. The covered veranda/deck is an ideal spot to sit with an early morning cup of coffee or tea to read a book or just enjoy the solitude of the breaking day. During spring, summer and fall it is ideal for eating outdoors, watching the sun dip on the horizon.

Be it in winter (typically milder than on the continent due to maritime climate) or in summer (fresher, for the same reason), the area offers multiple opportunities for outdoor activities. Swimming is reserved for the strong-willed souls (water temperatures range from 12 to 16C degrees in summer and from 0 to 5C degrees in winter).

The main bedroom offers glimpses of Gros Morne from the bedroom window, which reveals the ever-changing colours and character of this impressive landform. The room is tastefully furnished with Queen-sized bed and bedside tables, quality bed linens and has its own walk-in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom.
