I took one look at the numbers in the last chart and thought, well, that doesn't make sense. Sure, Matt's visitors (or Clint's or Marshall's) are somewhat more engaged than the average visitor, but their "start the purchase cycle" numbers are pitiful. If Eric were to put effort into this, the place to put effort in is where both those metrics are strong.
Finaly thoughts: An engaged visitor to a site that is also content rich, like Eric's, doesn't necessarily make a good customer. In fact, Clint did a survey on his blog and saw that many of his visitors already own many, if not all, of Eric's books. When visitors go to the beginning of the checkout, we can actually see interest in the purchase, as well as interest in the content — and as direct marketers know, you should always pursue the customer who already has a propensity to buy.
Interesting post. I was wondering though if you could explain why multiplying pct Engagement and Pct Buy Path Sessions is a valid transformation? There's a little buzz in the back of my head that says that something's not quite right. I ran a correlation test and the two metrics don't seem to be horribly related to each other and that makes me wonder if the results aren't just artifact. In other words, Robbin's metric looks significant but actually isn't.
Anyhow, just looking for the explanation/proof of the metric so that the buzzing will go away.
I wasn't worried about me (personally I think it's amply proved that my readers already have your books). Just that funny feeling.
Clint: My head was buzzing too, and I explained as much to Robbin. But in terms of generating metrics that help better identify opportunity it seemed, much like the Earth, "mostly harmless" to combine the metrics per Robbin's suggestion.
Seriously, Robbin made an excellent point that perhaps my best opportunity vis-a-vis visitor engagement and desire to purchase was with Steve, Anil, and Justin. Now all I need to do is find enough time to reach out to Steve and Justin (Anil and I have been talking) to see if I can make something happen … unless Steve and Justin are reading this, and if so, call me!
Thanks for your feedback Clint.
There are a couple things bothering me about this too.
How does 21% Buy Path Sessions to 0% conversion for Anil's referrals compare to the site as a whole. I don't know that this tells me the opportunity to improve sales. Is it about average, worse than average, better than average?
Since I don't know from the above the relative volume coming from each site I would be hard pressed to pick focus points. Relatively speaking, if Anil's traffic only represents 1 user out of 100 from say Robin's blog I would actually look into how I could improve conversions from Robin's blog first.
Also, to further one of Clint's points, none of the three metrics really correlate strongly to the others. It doesn't look like engagement is a real strong indicator of someone's propensity to buy.
Am sorry that I didn't comment earlier. Crazy crazy, I think everyone in our industry is crazy, amazing that we have time to blog.
1) Heads that buzz. Right, Clint, that's pretty much what Eric said when I brought this all up. But the point wasn't to take two nicely formed metrics and multiply them and cross out the matching numerator – denominator stuff and come up with another beautiful metric. Instead, I just looked at this and said, there needs to be a way of pulling buy-path sessions and engagement into one metric, since the visitor from a blog/site that has high "scores" in both those areas should be the one that Eric would focus on. Maybe a discount to the readers who are clearly going to the path. This is in contrast to say, your readers who are highly engaged but don't go to the buy path, probably because they already have the books.
2) How important is engagement? Good point Ian, if Judah Phillips were in this discussion, he would insist that I pull out my minitab. Am sorry you guys are speaking during the same time slot I am. Well, since engagement is made up of about seven (?) variables that Eric made up, probably some of them matter and some don't. I don't have to pull out minitab or even excel to see that the correlation isn't awesome. BUT, that is because of external factors, like Clint's readers who already own the book. Clearly, an engaged visitor who never even starts to buy is not as likely as one who does start to buy.
Hey Ian! You make an excellent point, that I didn't provide absolute volumes of traffic for any of the bloggers in question. While I'm happy to share some of my data with the world, I prefer to not share all of it. You know the drill.
I'm going to kick your comment over to Robbin to discuss correlation since I too didn't see the correlation and prefer to treat each metric as separate and view them together "in context" instead of "in combination". Still, it's Robbin's Metric (says so on the column header) so we'll see if Robbin will comment on your comment about Clint's comment.
Thanks as usual for the feedback!
Cool stuff indeed. Like Ian says, knowing the relative traffic volume referred by these sites would be helpful. I would also like to see how the data trend over time.
The challenge with proving out the very interesting "Robbin Metric" is twofold: 1) the dataset is very small and 2) the arrays "% Buy Path Sessions" and "Visitor Engagement" have a small negative correlation (-0.2633), which means that as engagement increases, the % Buy Path Sessions" decrease (and vice versa). A reason for this negative correlation could be that a majority of "engaged" visitors referred by those sites have already read Eric's fantastic books (and thus have less "% Buy Path Sessions"). That seems to make sense and, if true, would help validate the Engagement metric.
If we look at the correlation squared (.069) and multiply it by 100 to express as a percent, we find 6.9% proportion of variance in common between the two arrays. Interesting!
At a very high level, and from a different angle (that of a person during a coffee break)… I tend to agree with Robbin's hypothesis, based on her metric, that Eric may want to reach out to ROI Revolution and Cutroni to compare their audience persona/metrics with that of Pols and Casanova.
Robbin: I think the only thing I would add is that where you say "made up of about seven (?) variables Eric made up" … I didn't make any of the components of the visitor engagement metric up. They're pretty standard key performance indicators, treated as indices, and combined in a way that I believe to be meaningful and useful.
Ticky-tack, I know, but worth correcting.
Judah: Excellent analysis! Now I know why the guys at Unica love you so much … I have a hunch about why ROI and Justin's visitors enter the buy path but don't complete, but I need to design a good controlled experiment to test the theory. Watch this space!

Five Cool Black People in History You Should Know Better
This is an old post from Wordpress, but I think the figures profiled are still worthy of more attention, I'm reprinting the article.
It's Black History Month, and on a couple of Facebook walls and Twitter, I've read complaints that African-Americans (and probably black people in Canada and the UK) hear about the same heroes such as MLK and Rosa Parks over and over again as the media goes through the motions of coverage. Okay, I can help with that. Here are five extremely cool black people in history that most of us know little about — and yet we should. In my book, PREVAIL, which is about the Italian-Ethiopian War, I discuss a few of them. Here they are, in no particular order:
What makes her interesting?
Bigger than Beyonce and long before Madonna, she was born poor in St. Louis and wound up the toast of Paris in the 1920s after she danced topless in a banana dress. Josephine wasn't just the most famous black woman — she was the most famous woman in the world period. Hit tunes, movies, stage shows — even dolls. She got so rich, she could own her own castle and used to walk a pet leopard down the street with a diamond-studded choke-leash. She didn't have to be outlandish for her image — it came naturally. With a voracious sexual appetite, she took lovers in the morning and afternoon and was also bisexual. She could be a bit of a dingbat, but her heart was always in the right place, and in World War Two, she acted as an agent for the French Resistance and was awarded twice for her courage and efforts.
Where can I find out more about her?
For my money, the best biography of Josephine is Naked at the Feast by Lynn Haney, which is supposed to be coming back into print. A biopic movie by HBO was done years ago, but it doesn't begin to capture her larger-than-life personality or cover half of what she accomplished.
What makes him interesting?
Think about the 1930s and how there was no Samuel L. Jackson, no Denzel Washington, no Idris Elba, no Chiwetel Ejiofor, and it was still twenty years before Sidney Poitier. There was just Paul Robeson. And he was amazing — he could sing, he could act, he was articulate and well-read. And he was political — which pissed some people off, especially certain white people. He was not going to stay "nice" and do as he was told, carrying the burden of representing all black people, because he could think. And his conscience led him to Pan-Africanism and Communism. And he was dragged before one of the witch hunt Washington committees. Do you know how whenever there's an item on McCarthy, and they play the old newsreel clips? They really ought to show Paul Robeson's testimony, because he was not going to take their shit. In fact, in very blunt terms, he told them they could go to hell. Read the transcript, and it's electrifying. The federal government then set out to destroy him… and they did. But his performances and art survive.
Where can I find out more about him?
Martin Duberman wrote an excellent biography of him. Find original recordings of "Showboat" or see the first movie version and you'll hear a voice that will rock your world.
From Gulfport, Mississippi, Robinson wasn't about to let anyone tell him he couldn't learn to fly a plane. And he did better than just learn how to fly — he could actually fix them and build them up from parts like putting together a soapbox derby racer! He made things possible for the famous Tuskegee airmen who came later, and when Italy invaded Ethiopia, he went over and led Haile Selassie's air force… which was only a few planes, none of which had guns. He escaped Fascist Caproni fighters again and again to do courier runs and airlift the wounded. And when he came back to New York and later Chicago, thousands cheered him as a hero. And he was a hero.
For the longest time, Robinson's name seemed almost forgotten, but another son of the South, amateur historian Thomas E. Simmons was intrigued by stories about him and rescued this pioneer from obscurity. Tracking down family members, digging through records, Simmons has written two books about Robinson. His new one is just out and is called The Man Called Brown Condor. My own book, PREVAIL, relies heavily on Tom's expertise and guidance, and I also quote Robinson's own letters about his time in Ethiopia.
SALARIA KEA
Smart, driven and courageous, she wanted to go serve as a nurse in Ethiopia, but didn't get the chance. Instead, she ended up becoming a legend in the Spanish Civil War. Even as a nursing student, she was pushing for change — desegregation in a hospital dining room, better work conditions for her fellow African-American nurses. There are many stories about her and different versions of them, and unfortunately, it's difficult to pin down some of the truth. What we do know is she deserves better recognition.
It's difficult. But you can start with this excellent article written by Emily Robins Sharpe, which offers a couple of photos. I wish someone would do a full book on her.
BILL RICHMOND
What makes him so interesting?
Or maybe you're even thinking, "C'monnnn! There are so many famous black boxers!" Well, yes, but what makes this guy so cool is that his life story reads like a fantastic movie. First of all, he's an African-American from New York who started life as a slave and was taken to England in the 18th century… and that's where things really took off. As a PhD in the "Sweet Science," he was almost completely self-taught, and he hardly ever lost. Plus he went out a success, living a happy life in retirement. If you visit London and walk around the piazza of its famous Leicester Square, you are walking on his old stomping grounds, because after he quit the ring, he opened a boxing academy and bought a pub. And he served as a mentor to another great black boxing legend, Tom Molineaux. Nicely done, mate.
Good boxing histories have him, and you can start with this page here from the International Boxing Hall of Fame. Years ago, the BBC, if memory serves, did a wonderful short documentary on him, complete with recreations of scenes of his life, and I only wish I could remember its title. If someone does know, pass it along — I'll edit this and insert it in.
So there we are… Five very cool and inspiring figures from Black History worth learning more about. And there are certainly thousands more. But hopefully this blog helps in a humble way to open the pantheon doors.

The Politics of Health Conference (2013)
Vanderbilt University's The Center for Medicine, Health & Society (MHS) hosted "The Politics of Health," a two-day conference on current debates in medicine, which took place on our campus, in our country, and around the world. The conference, held October 3 and 4, 2013, on the Vanderbilt campus featured discussion and debate about the politics of health among national opinion leaders, local stakeholders, and the Vanderbilt community. The event was free and open to the public.
The conference was organized around three themes that speak to the scale, urgency and intimacy of health as a political problem: Justice, Infrastructure, and Inequality.

Thursday, October 3 2013
The conference opened with a welcome address from university leaders, followed by the first panel, Health Justice, which considered paths for achieving health equity in settings with scarce money, time and attention. The keynote address was delivered by Emilie Townes, Dean of Vanderbilt's Divinity School. Townes is a pioneering scholar in the field of womanist theology and the author of Womanist Justice, Womanist Hope (Scholars Press, 1993) and In a Blaze of Glory: Womanist Spirituality as Social Witness (Abingdon Press, 1995). Her most recent book is Womanist Ethics and the Cultural Production of Evil (Palgrave Macmillan Press, 2006). Topics of particular interest to Townes include health and health care; cultural production of evil; exploration of the linkages among race, gender, class and other forms of oppression; and development of a network between African American and Afro-Brazilian religious and secular leaders and community-based organizations.
Friday, October 4 2013
The second day of the conference opened with a panel on infrastructure, which explored how we experience health in our everyday physical, social, and natural environments—from the buildings we work in to the art forms we enjoy. The keynote address was delivered by Milton Curry, Dean of the University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning. Curry is an academic, designer, curator and editor and founding editor of CriticalProductive – a peer-reviewed journal of architecture, urbanism and cultural theory. He is the author of numerous scholarly articles and opinion pieces, including two essays for The Huffington Post: "What Obama can learn from Brazil" (2011) and "Nixon in China and the American City" (2011).
The afternoon panel on Race and Inequality focused on race and considered the persistent causes and consequences of healthcare access and health outcomes. The keynote address was delivered by Khalil Gibran Muhammad, the director of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture for the New York Library. Dr. Muhammad is the author of The Condemnation of Blackness: Race, Crime, and the Making of Modern Urban America (Harvard University Press, 2010), a well-received exploration of how notions of black criminality were crucial to the creation of urban centers. Dr. Muhammad's research interests include the racial politics of criminal law, policing, juvenile delinquency and punishment, as well as immigration and social reform.

Rembrandt () es una película de acción danesa de 2003, dirigida por Jannik Johansen. El guion está firmado por Johansen y Anders Thomas Jensen. La película fue estrenada en el Festival de Cannes de 2003.

Hechos reales
La película está basada en hechos reales. En efecto, el 29 de enero de 1999, un cuadro de Rembrandt titulado "Retrato de una dama", junto a  otra pintura de Bellini, fue robado del museo Nivaagaard Samlingen de Nivå, en Dinamarca. La película aborda el tema de la seguridad del museo de manera precisa, así como la participación de cazadores de recompensas civiles para la resolución del caso. Todos los personajes que aparecen existieron en verdad, aunque no como se ha descrito. El papel del padre (Mick en la película) fue en realidad un tío (Tom en la película).

Генеральный военный округ УПА-Восток () — структурная единица УПА, де-факто полностью сформирована не была.

Описание
Округ УПА-Восток был сформирован из военных, служивших в Центральной и Южной походных группах ОУН и сидевших в немецких тюрьмах. Из-за отсутствия времени и постоянных атак советских войск полностью завершить создание округа повстанцы не сумели (не были даже предварительно назначены командующие округами). Вследствие этого к округу часто относят только независимые повстанские боевые единицы.

Командир Эней
Из известных командиров данного округа часто выделяется командир Эней, служивший в округе УПА-Юг (ВО «Заграва»), который часто совершал походы через Днепр. Летом 1943 года ему удалось совершить рейд: из Пустомитских лесов пройти через Искоростень до Малиновских лесов. Эней вернулся только поздней осенью на Волынь, а некоторые из его отрядов перебрались через Днепр и осели около Чернигова. После возвращения Энея на дороге Искоростень-Чернигов засели части куреней Верещаки и Евгения. Весной 1944 года курень Дороша, которым руководил Эней, добрался до Житомирской области, куда ещё не заходили повстанцы. Но по словам повстанцев, Дорошу удалось выйти гораздо дальше — в Киевскую и Черниговскую область.

A home is a refuge from the trials of the external world and should be as pleasant and relaxing as possible, including its indoor climate. An energy-efficient house provides better climate control and comfort, so improving whole-house performance is necessary to increase energy efficiency.
Consider a house an energy system in which all parts are interdependent. When one part performs badly, it affects the entire system and puts it at risk. As an example, if the furnace works well, but air leaks under the external doors, then efficiency is compromised. By understanding that all components have an interacting effect upon each other and giving attention to those areas, whole-house performance can be improved.
There are numerous components to a whole-house system, so when improving whole-house performance, here are seven that require checking.
Air seal windows: Windows can leak and require caulking or weatherstripping to prevent outdoor air from entering and conditioned air from seeping out.
Seal and insulate your ductwork: Ducts can leak from tears, rips and dislocation. Examine the ducts that are visible and seal leaks with mastic or metal tape. Repair what you can and hire a professional to repair what you can't.
Insulate the attic: An uninsulated attic can warm the roof in the winter. This causes ice and snow to melt and refreeze in the gutters, forming ice dams that can damage the roof, gutters and walls.
Replace inefficient windows: Replace old windows with double paned, low emittance windows that reduce radiative heat from entering the home. When improving whole-house performance, replace these windows before installing a new heating and cooling system, as HVAC load calculations are determined, in part, by window efficiency.
Service your HVAC unit: Keep your HVAC system running efficiently with regular professional maintenance.
Replace inefficient lights: Replace incandescent blubs with more efficient compact fluorescent and LED bulbs.
Install a ceiling fan: Install an Energy Star ceiling fan and set the blades to turn clockwise. This disperses hot air from the ceiling and reduces your heating system's load.
For more information on improving whole-house performance, contact Blanton's Heating & A/C, serving the Fayetteville area since 1951.

Intersection Improvement Spurs Redevelopment
Posted By: Jed Munroe in Blog,
Written by: Jed Munroe, PE, JT Engineering
The City of De Pere, with a population of just over 25,000, is virtually landlocked. With the help of an innovative design team, the City was able to gain access to an additional 20 acres of developable land, improving a dangerous, congested intersection in the process.
The geographical layout of the intersection and its surroundings presented an initial challenge. The north leg of the intersection served as the driveway to a McDonald's restaurant, which blocked access to the developable land. The intersection is also bordered on the southwest by a popular Wisconsin Department of Transportation Park & Ride lot. We worked in partnership with the City and WisDOT to achieve their goal of no operational or safety impacts to the adjacent intersections, while achieving zero loss of the existing park & ride stalls.
The new intersection improvement enabled the City to access a 20-acre parcel of land for development. The popular supermarket chain ALDI took advantage of this prime real estate opportunity, bringing in jobs and revenue. The developer worked closely with the City during all phases of the project, and even dedicated one of its lots to the City for stormwater management. This project is a great example of what's possible when a public-private partnership is done right.
The project required close coordination with McDonald's, who scheduled the demolition and rebuilding of their restaurant to coincide with the project, reducing impacts to their bottom line. By working together with the City, we were able to reduce the complexity of the staging and overall construction time. With improved commercial access points, the project eliminated existing traffic congestion and improved the corridor's safety performance, ultimately improving traffic flow and access to the surrounding business on the corridor.
Safer, Greener
Main Avenue is both the City's primary retail corridor and the gateway into downtown De Pere. During peak travel times, the intersection became heavily congested, regularly causing traffic to back up into an adjacent roundabout and creating hazardous conditions. The new intersection improved driver safety and eliminated the traffic congestion that was present in the previous intersection. This reduced commuter delays and provided environmental benefits by eliminating the need for vehicles to idle, start and stop, thus decreasing the overall carbon footprint.
Construction Staging
A key component of the project was limiting the amount of time the contractor would be able to close Main Avenue, while maintaining a buildable design to receive competitive construction bids from contractors. After reviewing multiple staging options and coordinating with the surrounding stake holders, the contractor was allowed two main phases. Phase 1 closed Lawrence Drive early, and Phase 2 allowed a 60-day closure of Main Avenue.
