Your public relations horror story: It's not as grim as you think

We just saw media research that bad online reviews boost business as much as good ones. Makes sense, any attention is better than none.

Elmer: I would say that depends on who is doing the reviewing. When you do receive a bad review, either by a journalist or customer, take a second to think about how to counter it with something that highlights the good you do rather than get caught up in the moment and make something potentially innocuous worse than it needs to be. Be proactive, not reactive with your media relations and you’ll see good results.

That’s the intuitive notion but data usually dashes our intuitions — if we pay attention. Mainly we ignore the data and pretend. Human nature.

“The Streisand effect is a primarily online phenomenon in which an attempt to hide or remove a piece of information has the unintended consequence of publicizing the information more widely.”

Elmer you seem to have a line on some very interesting information. I’d love to see both the media research you reference and also hear more about the “Streisand Effect”, if you want to e-mail me or just put a link to it here. Thanks!

The brand new MacBook Professionals have the identical Multi-Touch glass trackpad as before, however the line provides a different trick. All of the new MacBook Professionals (such as the 13-inch styles) now have inertial scrolling. Similar to on an apple iphone, iPod touch, or iPad, swipe your finger all the way down to scroll via a lengthy World wide web web site, for instance, plus the momentum carries on the scrolling until finally it step by step dies off. The function appears suitable at your home over the MacBook Professional and may be familiar to anyone who has utilised Apple apple iphone OS devices.

Bruises from trauma can come about as a consequence of a variety of reasons, which includes falls, incidents and publish-surgical processes. Commonly, report codes 920-924 for bruises secondary to trauma. Say for example a soccer player who had been witnessed with a spouse and children doctor for bruises in just the heel, report 924.20. Preserve in your mind that according to ICD-9, these codes exclude contusions that are incidental to a particular teams of accidents, like crushing accidents, dislocation, fracture, inner accidents, intracranial injuries, nerve accidents, and open up wound.
