Issues with Paying Respondents to Take Part in Online Research
by Paul Christ, KnowThis.com - April 2007
There are many websites that recruit web surfers to participate in online research, such as answering surveys or participating in focus groups. Many of these sites are run by legitimate market research firms that use the Internet as a method for building research panels (a.k.a., consumer panels). Such panels consist of a large number of people who have agreed to take part, often on a regular basis, in the research conducted by the panel’s operator. In many cases the research is sponsored by marketing organizations that have contracted with research firms running the panels. Marketing organizations like panels as a research tool because these have the potential to offer quick access to many highly targeted respondents. More Send me your comments and questions.

PRIOR PHONE CALLS TO RETAILER BY GRAB AND RUN SUSPECT
San Francisco, CA; April 20, 2007
A suspect called a retail jewelry store several times, asking if the store carried a certain brand of high end watches. During one call he asked for a list of the watches that the store carried. This list was not provided but the suspect was invited to come into the store to see what the store had. He made an appointment and came in at 11:00 a.m. The suspect looked at several watches and chose one ladies and one men’s watch of the same brand. He grabbed both watches and ran out of the store. The suspect ran for about two blocks and jumped into a car with two other suspects. Shortly after they drove away the car crashed. All three suspects jumped out and ran. The driver was injured and arrested after a chase, but the other two suspects escaped. The suspect who ran with the watches was described as 25 years old, very well dressed, with a goatee. The suspect who was arrested was reported to be an Armenian male, 22 years old. More JSA's Most Wanted
| Determination of Ring Sizes
Copyright © Brynmorgen Press 2001- Ganoskin A ring fits well when it is no longer felt on the finger. If in the course of time the size of the finger changes or if the ring is to be fitted for another wearer, a sizing of the ring is necessary. The first step is to determine the finger size, which is done with a ring sizer, a set of about 30 steel rings in graduated sizes, figure 13.1. If the customer has a comfortable ring to use as a guide, its size is measured on a graduated ring stick. More |
