![]() ![]() The closer to 100, the better.īusinesses will bring their subjective views to their net promoter scores, and these scores can be open to interpretation. Net Promoter Score scores can range from -100 (all detractors and no promoters) to 100 (all promoters and no detractors). What’s Considered a Good Net Promoter Score? For example, responses of 1 and 6 each count equally as detractors. Note: For net promoter score calculation, you will treat responses in each category identically, regardless of the specific numbers. Your result will be a net promoter score of 70. If 10% of respondents are detractors, 10% are passives, and 80% are promoters, you will calculate your NPS score by subtracting 10 (your percentage of detractors) from 80 (your promoters). (You will set all passive responses aside they do not factor in.) To calculate your Net Promoter Score score, you subtract the percentage of detractors from the percentage of promoters. They may even discourage others from your product. These are unhappy customers unlikely to buy from you again. These users are satisfied with your product but not enthusiastic enough to promote it. These are your enthusiastic and loyal customers. Based on their scores, you’ll place users in one of the three following categories: When you send users the NPS System’s one question (“How likely are you to recommend us?”), they can respond with a score of 0 to 10. Customers might receive the NPS question after shopping at a grocery store, renting a car, or purchasing a product in a shopping mall. ![]() Organizations in all types of industries can use NPS scoring to gauge customer satisfaction. They might also send it out after the customer has been using the product for 90 days or a year. A product team might send out the NPS question immediately after a customer uses the company’s software product for the first time. His goal was to give businesses a quick pulse check to learn how well they generated customer satisfaction and loyalty.īain & Company’s website offers free literature on the Net Promoter System.īusinesses can use NPS surveys to gain feedback on any aspect of their customers’ experience. Where Did the Net Promoter Score Originate?įred Reichheld, a partner at Bain & Company, developed the net promoter score (also called the NPS or NPS score) in 2003. Businesses can send out this question- “On a scale of 0 to 10, how likely are you to recommend ?”-at various stages of the customer’s journey. A net promoter score is a method of using a single survey question to gauge customer satisfaction with a product. ![]()

When you take a screen recording and you tap something on your phone, the recording shows exactly what your screen looks like – which is what it should do, of course – but if the recipient doesn’t know what to look for or where to tap, they may not know what it is you’re trying to show them this is where a highlight option for screen recordings would be key in iOS 17. ![]() To show him how, I took a screen recording of the process and texted it to him, which is a really nice way to alleviate a bunch of actual texts back and forth. At that point you'd need to have someone's Apple ID and password, which is essentially what you need to get into Find My on another person's phone, right? View all commentsĪ few months back, a good friend of mine asked me how to set up voice notes so that they wouldn’t expire after two minutes. You'd also need to do something to prevent this from being abused by people using it to get past someone's vibrate or DND settings. I guess the difference here is someone has their phone on vibrate and it's under some stuff and can't hear the vibrate. This would be a welcome improvement for the iMessage experience in iOS 17. In February of this year, Google Messages did the same, which means that of all of the messaging platforms and providers, it’s literally only Apple that doesn’t allow users to respond to texts with an emoji outside of its six default options. ![]() Meanwhile, WhatsApp, in July of 2022, released the ability to react to texts with any emoji a person wishes – catching up with what Facebook Messenger already did quite nicely. Tapbacks are the official word for what most of us call “reactions” – when we love, like, thumbs up, thumbs down, exclaim, or question a text someone else has sent. I spoke about this a year and a half ago, and to the shock of absolutely no one, Apple has yet to update or expand “Tapbacks” for its users. I think this would be a fun implementation into iOS 17 for those of us who want to leave a video message like we would a voicemail or an audio note. There is something about the notion of FaceMails that feels very dystopian to me, very Black Mirror, but also very Seth Rogan via Knocked Up? ( “I’m in your phooooone.”) Almost like it has the potential to be uncomfortable for some people while also having the potential to be incredibly entertaining for others that said, it could be an option for users to enable or disable for anyone who didn’t want to partake. There have been innumerable times when I, too, have tried to reach someone via FaceTime, and they didn’t answer, and I’ve thought, I should be able to leave them a message… of my face. You know when you’re scrolling social media and you come across someone who took a screenshot of a FaceTime they attempted to have with someone else, but the person they tried to reach wasn’t available, and the person who initiated the FaceTime captions the screenshot with, “When _ doesn’t answer,” and the screenshot is them looking emotive with the words “FaceTime unavailable” underneath the person’s name whom they tried to reach? A long sentence! But I know you know what I’m talking about. Read on to see what I would love, would absolutely die for, should Apple choose to implement any of the following into any of their products at any point in any future iOS release ever. I do realize that it is far too late in the year to make a wish list that might get any traction re: things I’d like to see Apple implement into iOS 17, and that’s fine – I don’t care – but I have to document my hopes and dreams as a consumer and Apple loyalist somewhere, and with WWDC happening next month, I remembered that I have ideas. ![]() ![]() ![]() What wasn’t a failure was the engine that powered that car. If you want to get an idea of the scope of the loss, that amount of money in today’s market would be well over $2.8 billion Total car sales were 116,000 less than expected with a company loss of $350 million. Thanks to pricing and styling concepts that the public just could not understand, Edsel came to an end on November 19, 1959. However, the Edsel car production went down as one of history’s biggest marketing disasters. Other features included self-adjusting brakes, seat belts, and childproof rear door locks. It also incorporated Push-Button Teletouch transmission in the center of the steering wheel. The new vehicle employed such innovations as “rolling dome” speedometer, warning lights for low-oil level, parking brake engaged, and engine overheat. The car-buying public at the time was demanding innovation and technology, and Ford was sure that the Edsel would deliver. With an automobile code named “E” car for experimental, the car that was introduced became known as the “Edsel” in honor of Henry’s son. ![]() So Ford Motor Company decided to upgrade the Lincoln Continental and introduce a new automobile to compete in the medium car. Ford’s research team and found that, although the purpose of the Lincoln was to compete with the Cadillac, the public actually believed that Lincoln competed with Oldsmobile and Buick instead. However, in the early 1950s, Ford became publicly traded and was no longer owned by family members of Ford. After a battle with stomach cancer, Edsel died in 1943 leaving a legacy to his four children. The Model A was a huge success with over 4 million in sales in four years of production.Įdsel went on to introduce the Mercury brand and was responsible for the production of the Lincoln Zephyr and Lincoln Continental. Edsel helped design the body and introduced such features as four-wheel mechanical brakes and the slide-gear transmission. However, due to declining car sales, Henry agreed to let Edsel introduce the Model A. The Model 40 has since been restored and is on display in the museum at the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House.Īfter becoming president of Ford, Edsel pushed to replace the Model T but Henry would not hear of it. In 1934, Gregorie built another speedster named the Model 40 with more styling and lower ground clearance. Some of these features haveappeared on Ford vehicles throughout history. It was aluminum, boat-tailed V-8 powered automobile that incorporated features that no other automobile had. He bought the first MG motorcar that was imported to the U.S and, having a passion for styling, in 1932, Edsel and Ford’s chief designer E.T. Gregoire built in 1934 doesn’t bear much resemblance to the vehicle ultimately built to honor Edsel’s memory.ĭestined to take over the family business, Edsel became the secretary of Ford in 1915. Where did the Edsel name come from? Yes, it’s most often known as the car that was noted as the biggest marketing disaster from Ford, but where did the name come from? Edsel was Henry and Clara Ford’s only son born in 1893 and named after one of Henry’s closest childhood friends, Edsel Ruddiman. It’s still considered one of Ford’s most versatile platforms and continues to offer engine builders and their customers creative opportunities. The FE stands for “Ford Edsel” and was produced from 1958 to 1976. We’ll discuss the rebirth of this iconic engine after a brief history lesson. So, we took this opportunity to take the engine out so we could explor e an FE engine. The engine was supposedly rebuilt when my friend had purchased the car, but something was definitely wrong with this power plant. With the 390 and a four-speed, the car was fun to drive and garnered a sort of nostalgic celebrity status from local fans, but the engine did smoke quite heavily at times and did consume quite a few quarts of oil and would foul several spark plugs on some very short trips around town. Several years ago, we had the opportunity to build a 390 FE for a customer’s 1962 Galaxie. I had always heard about and seen some of the more popular FE engines such as the 390, 427 and 428 but never had a chance to dive into one. ![]() Many of us who have been around awhile have heard the term FE, but not a lot of people of today’s era know much about the engine family this is associated with. ![]() How Ford’s FE Engine Rose from the Ashes of Disaster to Become a Versatile Veteranį ord’s FE engine has had a rich history that, today, is often overlooked or at least misunderstood. ![]() ![]() ![]() Visit for more info about the web and other platforms supported by Pocket Casts.

The spring 2017 fashion presentations were rife with balletic references, from the gossamer maxidresses modelled by professional ballerinas at Sachin and Babi to Phoebe Philo’s leather ballet pumps at Céline.īallet and fashion exist in continuous dialogue, largely because they share a common reference point: the body, which fashion historian Valerie Steele pointed out during the ‘Dance and Fashion’ exhibition in 2014. The New York City Ballet debuted its autumn 2016 season showcasing the company’s annual fashion collaborations, featuring designers Dries Van Noten, Narciso Rodriguez and Rosie Assoulin. This long-term artistic synchronicity is evident from the abundance of exhibitions, publications and collaborations in the recent past. Fashion has been integral to ballet since its inception in 17th-century French and Italian courts.

Weight gain is a common cashew nut side effect. The problem arrives when you consume more cashews than required. It’s best to consume small amounts of cashews and not gulp it down all at once!Ĭashews are a great snacking option, even for people on a weight-loss diet. Eating too many cashews is a common constipation trigger, leading to some gastrointestinal conditions at times. ConstipationĬashews can cause constipation for two reasons- either when you overeat cashews or when you have an allergic reaction to them.

The few Caucasians are thankfully built off different models. Since Sleeping Dogs takes place in Hong Kong the majority of characters are Asian. Like most stylized games, Sleeping Dogs takes a side-step with realism. There is so much to do in Sleeping Dogs that the smaller size of Hong Kong gives you a perfect amount of freedom while allowing for sandbox gameplay. The cars have the ability to bump other cars which is useful when running from police or trying to stop an escaping Triad. You will spend a lot of time on the road and thankfully the size of fictional Hong Kong is digestible and actually fun to drive around. It does not take long to acquire a lot of money to purchase different vehicles to use. Each vehicle has their own characteristics, and the ability to purchase different cars and motorcycles is a lot of fun. Using cars and motorcycles is the primary transportation. Since guns are uncommon in Hong Kong, it is a treat to be able to use them during missions, especially in vehicles. Most of the time you will not be using guns except on missions where you have tons of weapons to reload with. Gun combat is polished only requiring a few buttons to aim and fire. ![]() The melee weapons limit your attacks, but give more damage. Weapon combat consists of melee weapons like knives and crowbars to guns. Learning new moves opens a consistent stream of moves that can be used against enemies, even those with weapons. There are different enemy types requiring different strategies and the counter system is the most useful tool during combat. The combat system in Sleeping Dogs is excellent with melee martial arts taking the priority in the game. While there are different moves learned through completing main missions, the Face rating opens new clothes and vehicles for purchase. These missions increase your "Face" rating which is a personal level system. Smaller missions like going on dates with story characters unlock locations for these collectibles. There are also races that you can complete. You also have to locate multiple health shrines to increase your health as the game progresses. These are used to unlock new martial arts moves. There are also persistent side-missions like collecting the various jade statues in Hong Kong. Side-missions in Sleeping Dogs are small favors which usually require you to destroy cars, deliver goods, or framing rival gangs. Completing these missions will help level Shen to unlock new abilities like reduced gun recoil, taking less melee damage, and being able to slow down time when stealing a new vehicle. The main story missions consist of police cases and Triad missions. Sleeping Dogs focuses on the main story missions and the variety of side-missions as well as collecting briefcases and finding health shrines. ![]() His dual lives become more and more difficult and ultimately conflict with each other. As he works his way up, his missions become more in-depth and the conflict of his undercover status becomes strained as his dedication to the Triads stars to conflict with his police duties. Shen has to work both as a cop and Triad member completing missions that help the police in their case while working as an upcoming member of his gang completing escorts and pickups up. He returns to Hong Kong to work deep undercover, making his way up from foot soldier to sub-boss in his gang. Wei is a young guy and to prove that he is a bandit, not only joins the group, but also takes part in various crimes, thus paving his way to the top of the Triad.At the beginning of Sleeping Dogs, you learn about Wei Shen, a San Francisco cop who grew up in both Hong Kong and the United States. There is also The Definitive Edition, tweaked to run on the latest generation consoles and PCs, with content and various enhancements included.Īccording to the plot, the player is given control of Wei Shen, who is in the police service, whose task is to join the Triad. Sleeping Dogs is made in the style of an action game with open locations. Sleeping Dogs - hong Kong opens the door for everyone to experience the thrill of hand-to-hand combat, fast driving and dynamic events.
