'I Don't Believe in God, I Believe in Science'
Posted by Evante Garza-Licudine on Wednesday, September 10, 2008 02:48 pm
Those of you who are familiar with the Bay Area's unique culture may remember artist Jonathon Keats' failed 2003 attempt to put the law of identity on Berkeley's legal books, or his experiment to grow a deity in a petri dish, or maybe his creation of the first ever porno for plants.
Now he's planning on opening the Atheon—a "temple of science" which is meant to bring spiritual satisfaction through scientific knowledge—here in Berkeley. However, you shouldn't confuse this type of science "worship" with other religions that are phonetically similar: The whole idea is, after all, an art exhibit.
But why in the name of science would someone attempt to merge spirituality and rationality like this? Because apparently, stained glass—something essential to religion—is perfect for representing the universe's early cosmological history.
Keats also has the scientific equivalent of some religiously inspired music: A song called "Why Is There Something Rather Than Nothing?" can be heard by cell phone during the exhibit's duration.
The Atheon project can be seen on the outside (since the building will still be under construction) from Sept. 27 through Feb. 1 at 2222 Harold Way.

i would rather die than accept "god", he is a made up, multi thousand year old dick that has given nothing but false beleif to the billions of people that see to him. Unfortunatly he is so powerful people are willing to kill themselves in his name……. wtf?!
Courtney said:
I agree with you 100%. There is no better way to describe my feelings for "God". Why can and why do people believe something like this. Science is the real creator of us, the earth the surroundings around us. People who want to spend time worshiping this "God" have not yet opened their eyes. They have not yet realized that believing in god is the same as believing in the Easter Bunny!!! There is no point, "GOD" doesn't exist.
I always ask people if they believe in god. If they say yes, I then ask them if they believe in magic, if they say no, I say WTF!! To me they would be the same thing!
carrassi said:
have either of you ever talked to a devout christian that way? i guess i should remember that this is the internet where being condescending is often confused with being confident and smart, and the people behind their keyboards aren't usually as arrogant and misguided as they want to be in real life.
surely even if you cannot bring yourself to believe in god, then you can very well empathize with those who do. comparing god to the easter bunny is about as mature as evangelicals claiming homosexuality is a mortal sin and has comparable effects on both believers and homosexuals. that is, it makes you feel like shit and feel spite towards the other person, and ruins all possibility of decent and mature dialogue between otherwise opposing groups. what did you hope to achieve by saying god is magic? "wow! i never thought of it that way… surely you are correct, i'll now rearrange my entire life to accommodate your rude and asinine comparisons!"
i've never understood the apparently human desire to displace other people from their beliefs; both sides are guilty, and all it serves to do is fuel a long established feud between "believers" and "rationalists." good job.

In my own personal opinion (and you ain't gonna like it):
All religion is a hoax.
Proof that all religion is a hoax is very easy to come by.
Proof that religion is real, doesn't exist.
Religion is the devil itself; dividing humanity and causing war and spreading hate.
Those who do believe, I believe, are brainwashed. Completely not their fault.
But basically, science is evolution & always has been, and there is extraordinary proof of this.
Think about it: Were Adam and Eve married before they did the dirty? Err…no? Enough said.
Congrats to those who believe in religion, I truly believe it gives people hope. But, empathize with them? What for? People hate me because I believe in science. Why do they hate me? Because they believe in their religion. That nicely brings me back to my point: religion = division & hate.
Bogdan said:
I disagree with Alice,
People wage wars for resources and always have been, whether that be land, water, fossil fuels or "processed" riches like gold, silver and other kinds loot. Did I mention captives and slave labor?
Hate is largely caused by having been attacked or being brainwashed / pumped-up in order to attack someone. Leaders start wars and get common people hate and kill each other, and that most often is done in the name of God/gods, never mind that it could be quite contrary to the letter and intent of the religion used (misused).
Fear of the unknown also makes you hate the "unknown", that is other cultures and nations, so hate is caused by ignorance.
Most world religions spread the message of love, moral laws that are very beneficial for the society. Please familiarize yourself with these writings.
As far as comparing religious beliefs to magic and Easter bunnies – you can grossly oversimplify any concept and make it laughable and both religious people and atheists are guilty of that.
Not recognizing the allegories in let's say Bible and going with the literal interpretation will get you there. Remember the model of the solar system from school science class? If you were to literally understand that planers rotate around the sun on a thick wire axles that would be pretty dumb, wouldn't it?

Carrassi, I couldn't have said it better myself.
Tom and courtney might never be expected to become believers but they sure as hell could use some nuance in their thoughts about religion.

The people who believe in god or anything else are brain washed. They just want something to believe in. I believe in science mom not no make believe god.comets, atoms and other maters made us.

So true. I cant help but laugh at the fact that people fall for this shit. I was 15 when I first realized it was all bull shit. And it's only grown stronger over the years.
It feels like I broke free from a cycle that the world is in. People don't like it but I sure as hell am happy.

John 1:1(kjv) "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
John 1:14 (kjv)
"The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."
First of all, it's not about religion, its about truth. The bible is the oldest book known to man with the oldest history, dating back to the first human beings to ever walk the earth, but you refuse to believe in what it says and who it represents because of science. Christianity is not religion but having a relationship with him. Yes religion does divide, but GOD isn't a religion. "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8,9).
People have been searching for God in storms and earthquakes. For thousands of years, religious leaders and philosophers have tried to discern God's face in rules, rituals, and regulations. Today the tools of our search have names like Science and Reason and Logic, but what we're looking for is the same thing that mystics and madmen and everyday people wanted: we want to know who God is, and where we stand with him. If you didn't you wouldn't try so hard to disprove him.
If you would read the bible and try to understand the bible history books and the bible coincide each other. Yes the bible was written by men inspired by God. If you would read the bible you would see many prophecies have come to pass, some are happening now, and there will be more to come. I for sure do not want to be on this earth to witness it. You believe in scientists and their predictions? And what proof are they going by?
Believing in God takes faith, and faith is believing with out seeing. I know God is real. He is compassion, happiness, and peace. He is faithful and truthful. He is also forgiving, but most of all he is love. He is everything good in the world.
I love GOD so much and I am not ashamed to say it.
Everyone in this world are searching for something to fill the emptiness in their lives, hearts, spirits etc. Lots of people turn to drugs, alcohol, sports, entertainment, etc. But are they truly happy. They feel incomplete, that's because God placed a hunger in all our hearts and souls and he is the only one that can satisfy, but he gives us the choice to serve him because he loves us that much.
Heaven and Hell are very real. I know where I want to be for eternity, and I wouldn't take a chance on missing out on heaven.
Revelation 20:15 (kjv)
"And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire"

What Does Mongolian Girls Do?

What Does Mongolian Girls Do?
In 1921, the Mongol nationalists established a communist get together, in tandem with the Soviet Union, which primarily proclaimed equality between men and women. As a outcome, ladies acquired an education, entered the workforce and had political power. The authorities supplied beneficiant advantages and healthcare, and feminine literacy charges dramatically elevated. They additionally face a relatively conservative dating culture. Rather than meet in bars or golf equipment, single Mongolians typically find one another on Facebook or Instagram, chatting over private message, away from the public eye. "For flirting Instagram is efficient, but for talking Facebook is healthier," says Tsogtbal.
Mongolia just isn't a really well-known nation, and as such, this guide will assist talk some details about its ladies, their attributes, values, and how suitable they're to turn into brides. I've never been overseas and it's going to be the primary time.
Mongolian women all the time warmly meet their guests by providing them to affix the dinner and taste the traditional Mongolian drink – koumiss, which is produced from mare's milk. A good courting website permits you to browse through their vast database of hot Mongolian women even earlier than you sign up. That means, you understand which certainly one of them you need to message as soon as possible. It will price you a bit to make use of their companies, which can be discouraging for somebody. Still, contemplating that you can get such a beautiful bride, it's definitely price the investment. While yow will discover Mongolian brides on-line elsewhere for free on social media websites, you set yourself vulnerable to scams. So, persist with the relationship companies as they be certain that all of their members are actual folks with sincere intentions.
Why Almost Everything You have Discovered Mongolian Girl Is Wrong And What You Should Know
Whichever vacation spot you choose, you will have lots of locations to go to in each cities. On the one hand, the socialist regime's repression has ended, leading to much less fear of government purges and to greater freedom and extra alternative for ladies. A multi-party political system and extra retailers for dissent have expanded their political choices.
The political transition in Mongolia came with newfound hardships, particularly economic ones. The new government removed subsidies aiding Mongolians, leaving many with out financial assistance.
She's an expert coach who can inspire folks to vary their views to turn into higher individuals ultimately. Generally, Mongolian ladies relationship isn't as complicated because it appears. If your intentions are critical, you'll enjoy the greatest journey of your life. But not each Mongolian woman likes discussing blood and violence.
They will at all times be faithful to their partner and might be ready for everything for him. But these women https://asiawomen.org/mongolian-women demand the same reply from their chosen one; they can't forgive the betrayal of their associate.
That is, it means that you'll not encounter scammers but will talk with actual women. Almost all the ladies sing and have a wonderful and melodious voice.
The most hanging feature is their extensive cheekbones, which are perfectly matched with their deeply set eyes. Passing by a girl with such distinct features, you'll feel like you're on another planet, and you won't mind staying there. Speaking of money, you should just keep in mind to register with a reputable relationship web site. As with something concerned with cash, the specter of fraudulent acts remains to be there.
Whether you're looking for a quick fling or a soulmate, you will discover her here. After all, it's good to get a reward before you arrive in Mongolia. History has proven that the notion of Mongolian women has revealed many contradictions. Many cultures that encompass the Mongolian girls are seen as subordinate to males; yet for Mongolian women right now, they're dominated by noble womanhood. It is said that Mongolian women have traditionally had the next diploma of social positions and autonomy than ladies within the Islamic societies of Asia, China and Korea. For these women who were widowed or left due to husbands within the navy, taking over their jobs was usually a standard practice. Although this took place in plenty of Mongol societies, ladies were nonetheless considered subordinate to males.
I like the confident image, but fairly and womanly style. So nowadays, plenty of Mongolia women communicate several languages, together with Chinese and English, which assist them to build successful businesses and communicate with worldwide partners. According to World Bank statistics, about 40% of Mongolian firms are based by girls. If you're keen on Mongolian girls and are excited about getting a girlfriend from this nation, you may be wondering, the place to satisfy such a girl. It is a pretty uncommon scenario, when a lady from Mongolia appears in your method in real life, especially when you don't stay on this nation yourself. Speaking of household, Mongolian ladies mature sooner than other Asian women, which implies that they wish to marry and conceive children earlier in life. If you're feeling like starting a household later in life, you could be honest about it, and your lovely Mongolian lady will perceive.
Ho Chi Minh City has the best concentration of hot Asian girls. It can be thought-about to be essentially the most foreigner-friendly metropolis in Vietnam due to the previous presence of French and American armies there. The city of Hanoi is known for its excessive temperatures, which makes it a perfect spot for hot night time parties and lengthy hours on the seashore.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 Theatrical Review
No matter what I say about The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2, the fanatical female fans of The Twilight Saga will head to the theaters in droves. A flick for the chicks, the men may as well stay at home from this mushy romance that thinks it's a fantasy yet panders to lust and a family affair. A far cry from Breaking Dawn Part 1 the film could have been and should have been more of a barn burner like Part 2 of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
The series finale centers on Bella (Kristin Stewart) working out the ticks of her new found powers, getting her father (Billy Burke ) to accept her and his new granddaughter and becoming the clan attraction that's the key to staving off the inevitable conflict between themselves and the Volturi. Accused of breaking the law of the vampire race by giving birth to a child from parents of kind, the Cullens are faced with defending their homeland. But, it's not what it seems and Bella and Edward (Robert Pattenson) are out to prove the accusation wrong even if it means death to the clan.
The first 90 minutes spools out a gooey family romance with Edward and Bella introducing their newborn child Renesmee to their Twilight fans. The puppetry CGI mix is poorly done giving more of a "Chucky" feeling to Renesmee than a kinder loving baby. The incredible spookiness of Renesmee at this point made me shudder when she touches the Cullen Clan's faces to introduce herself. Later on however, we get a fast track growth that brings out a more loving and protective Renesmee (Mackenzie Foy) that's more endearing.
"FINAL ANALYSIS: A cherished romance finally comes to a conclusion. Young Females (grade C) Males (grade F) Combined (grade D)"
Bella has a fling at using her new powers running through the woods looking to feast on an animal for breakfast. When she gets sidetracked with the scent of a mountain climber, her radar goes nuts. Her ability to fight has increased to the point she's the toughest Cullen. But even more potent is her love for Edward who shows a lustful union of man and wife. Taking everything personal Bella wants to make sure that her relationship has been cemented with the Cullen family and finds that the clan readily accepts her after an arm wrestling fight with the most powerful of their group.
Jacob (Taylor Lautner) has been shoved into the background of this episode relegated to being a nanny to Renesmee. As her protector, he has chosen that it would be the best way for him to still be close to Bella who has not completely broken her spell on him. A flaw in Meyer's story, this becomes more demeaning to one of the major players than a complete breakup between Jacob and Bella would have been. If she would have worked in a union between Jacob and Tanya Denali (MyAnna Buring) who's a Vegetarian Vampire for instance, this may have saved the character from loosing its strength.
The twelve minute battle scene brings the only reason for males to see Breaking Dawn and they'll have to wait about 90 minutes to get that action rush. In the meantime the droning music, loving embraces, beautiful vistas and baby love will bore them to death. Totally a mismatch of drama and action, the film tends to be more girly driven loosing its power to hold even a semblance of a male audience. Unlike the first half of Breaking Dawn that I gave high accolades, this portion of the book drags for us masculine types.
Breaking Dawn 2 does the opposite of the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (another franchise turned into a romance novel) where their first half failed to create interest for the male audience. Part 2 of Deathly Hallows on the other hand comes across bold, retribution filled and action laden for a better feel. The trailer for Breaking Dawn 2 suggests a film transition much like the feel of Deathly Hallows, but only delivers in the last 12 minutes of the film.
I can go on and on, but it's time to break away from my sprawling diatribe and let the young ladies have their day. For the ladies Breaking Dawn Parts 1 & 2 are truly a heart throbbing unit to fantasize over, even if it's just a long winded romance that should have been conjugated in marriage a couple of books ago. Twilight's celebration of romance, wedding and child although more brilliantly written in Breaking Dawn Part 1, has been predictable from day one and yet it will blow the lid of the box-office this weekend as it has in the past.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 has been rated PG-13 by the MPAA for sequences of violence including disturbing images, some sensuality and partial nudity. The CGI in the film is not as impactful as in other franchises, so most of the violence looks more hokey than disturbing.
FINAL ANALYSIS: A cherished romance finally comes to a conclusion. Young Females (grade C) Males (grade F) Combined (grade D)

Frankie Nekola
Frankie Joseph Nekola, 88, of rural Toledo was born on January 18, 1933 at home in Otter Creek Township, Toledo, Iowa the son of Frank H. and Tena (Lebeda) Nekola. He passed away Monday, January 10, 2022 at UnityPoint/Marshalltown. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held Monday, January 17, 2022 at 10:30 AM St. Patrick Catholic Church in Tama with Father Michael McAndrew as celebrant. Interment will follow at National Cemetery in rural Vining. Visitation will be held Sunday, January 16, 2022 from 3-6 PM at St. Patrick Catholic Church.
Frankie attended Otter Creek grade school and graduated from Toledo High School in 1951. He played trumpet in high school and also with the Stepanek Bohemian Orchestra. He began farming with his father on the Nekola Century farm. He met the love of his life, Marcella Riha, at the Vining Dance Hall in 1948 and they were married on September 12, 1953 at St. Wenceslaus Church, Cedar Rapids. In 1955, they purchased a farm near his parents where he lived until his death. There they raised their four children, Randy, Gary, Danny, and Cindy.
After over forty years of dairy farming with his sons he retired from farming and continued doing a variety of jobs for neighbors and friends in the area, along with help from his grandchildren. He was an active member of St. Patrick's church as Eucharistic minister and in the choir for many years. His love of music continued and he spent over twenty-five years with Marce, friend Gerry Campbell and others volunteering at many area nursing homes, Sr. Centers, etc. singing and playing guitar. He also enjoyed a good game of cards and his greatest joy was to bring happiness to everyone, which he did faithfully. Frank and Marce enjoyed many years of travel to visit family and friends across the country, and to attend his grandchildren's and great-grandchildren's music and sports activities. He was a wonderful dancer and his biggest pleasure was dancing with Marce to Barefoot Becky and being with his friends. Frank loved nature and country living, his home and family and most especially visits from family and friends enjoying the "Million Dollar" view. His special gift to bring joy to others will be missed by everyone.
Frankie is survived by his loving wife Marce of sixty-eight years; his children, sons Randy (Cheryl) Nekola, Howell, MI, Gary Nekola, Chelsea, Danny (Dawn) Nekola, Tama, and daughter Cindy Nekola Williams, Toledo; ten grandchildren, Megan (Mike) Chumbley, East Lansing, MI, Haley (David) Holbrook, Durand, MI, Treye (Heather) Nekola, Ankeny, Ashley Nekola Slinkard, McCordsville, IN, Darah (Tony) Bolen, Charleston, S.C., Benjamin (Rena) Nekola, Brighton, MI, Ciara (Brian) Nienhaus, McCordsville, IN, Derek Nekola, Montour, Tara Williams, Fenton, MI, and Kari Williams, Lansing, MI; nineteen great-grandchildren, Savannah, Caroline, William and Max Chumbley, Austin, Caden, David and Alex Holbrook all ofMI, Harper, Hazel, and Hunter Nekola, Ankeny, Carter, Noelle and Parker Slinkard, IN, Maverick and Lilah Bolen, S.C., Jaxson Sonny Frank Nekola, MI, and Sullivan and Dawson Nienhaus, IN.
Preceding him in death were his parents; two sisters, Marcella Dvorak and Mildred Stepanek, son-in-law, Ted Williams; and daughter-in-law, Beth Nekola, sister-in-law, Myrna Riha; brothers-in-law, Duane Riha, Melvin Dvorak, and Charles Stepanek.

I have never met a baker that I didn't like. Some have even become friends.
That's not surprising considering what they do: getting up early every morning in the sackcloth black of heavy dark and plunging their hands again and again into pliable dough.
Have you ever actually looked at a baker's forearms? Muscle on muscle on sinew on bone. Sadly though, years spent working with flour 'dust' regularly causes bakers asthma and even lung cancer.
What they proudly produce in the form of bread, the Egyptians call 'aish,' meaning life. There it was also once a form of payment, echoing the modern English slang as bread meaning money.
Ultimately, I am a simple man. I don't need fancy food to be happy. I require nothing on good fresh bread. Just hand me a slice of quality seeded loaf, a steaming round of pita, a soft and pappy bap, a torn-off chunk of wholemeal rye, a firm circle of bagel, a still-warm bit of authentic sourdough, some yielding Turkish sesame bread, a shiny little ball of French 'pain au lait,' a flat disc of chewy garlic naan, a newly-made corn tortilla, a crunchy sliver of 'pa de vidre', a crust of wood-fired 'redondo' or the nostalgic raisin bread of my childhood. Give me any of these creations and I will thank you from deep within.
Some of my relationship with bread is not quite so straightforward though. Before living here in Europe, we spent two years in Milton Keynes, a new British city of almost a quarter of a million people.
But our existence there was deprived. At that time there was not one single specialist bakery inside the limits of the urban area.
If you wanted real bread made by an independent baker, you had to drive just outside the city to one of the small, older towns where you could ask a living, breathing person for the good stuff, rather than pick up a product in a plastic bag down a supermarket aisle.
This is a great contrast to the little town in the Penedes where we have lived for a long time now. Less than two minutes' walk from our house, there's a tiny bakery and if I am lucky and it is not yet sold out, they will have their excellent 'pa de coca' or Vienna rolls.
The great challenge I face is limiting my eating of bread to once a day. This is something I very reluctantly try to do to keep weight off but I do often fail.
Years ago I even bought a bread-maker machine but after a couple of attempts which produced edible bread, I gave up and went back to the stuff that the professionals simply do much better.
Great read, I love heading straight for the bread when Im in Catalonia...its the best!
Many thanks for your kind comment. Yes, the bread can be excellent, just like so many other foods here!


Hello, Bloggers, for today's Topic Of The Day, I figured I'd discuss something that I have my own theories about, and that is the question of why Hollywood actresses don't have their careers see as much longevity as their male counterparts.
The way I see it, I think that many ingénues who get tossed aside as they get older, are usually typecast in either sexpot or "girl-next-door" roles in their prime. Those types of roles are their bread and butter and once their bread and butter become stale, then they stop working as much. As they get older, they are stuck in rather supporting roles like the mother and whatnot, so some of them just don't want to cast their vanity aside and play those types of roles. Of course, some of them get rather unfortunate plastic surgery which really could kill your chances at getting more work like the snapping of fingers, or just stop working as much because they reach a point in their career where they can work whenever they want to.
On the flip side, however, there are those who in their prime didn't always get stuck playing roles based on their charm and looks and still steadily work today. Take, for example, Jessica Lange. Back in 1983, she won an Oscar for her supporting work as the love interest in Tootsie. That same year, she won nominated for her lead turn in a much meatier role in the biopic Frances. Four more Oscar nods including another win would follow. She may not be working in film as much now, but she is still busy winning Emmys for her work in television. Plus, there are some actresses past their prime other than Meryl Streep who still work consistently, like Julianne Moore. Julianne Moore, both now, and in her prime, has always fallen on and off the radar doing art house films (Safe, Far From Heaven, Magnolia) as well as blockbusters (The Lost World: Jurassic Park, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Hannibal). She even finds solid work on television like her Golden Globe and Emmy-winning turn as Sarah Palin in Game Change. So, like Jessica Lange, Moore has always found substantial material, whether it'd be on the big or small screen. Another example of an actress past her prime who still works steadily is Sigourney Weaver. In her prime, she was known for being an action heroine rather than the "girl next door" like Meg Ryan. As she got older, she seemed to have come to terms with the fact that her Alien days were behind her and would gravitate towards more dramatic films like The Ice Storm, A Map of the World, and Imaginary Heroes. Plus, she would still find work in sci-fi fare even if they are films where she is not front and center, in films like Avatar and her cameo in Paul.
So, that is my personal theory on why there are actresses whose careers don't foresee as much longevity as their male counterparts and why there are some that do. Please feel free to offer your thoughts in the comments section and thanks for reading!

Marky your calendars, the Ontario Construction Secretariat's 21st Annual State of the Industry & Outlook Conference will be held virtually on Thursday, March 4, 2021.
Keep your eyes peeled for some exciting speaker announcements!
Ontario declares second state of emergency, stay-at-home order and implements new restrictions
On Tuesday, the Ontario government in consultation with the Chief Medical Officer, declared an immediate second provincial emergency under 7.0.1 (1) of the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act (EMPCA). These measures will come into effect on Thursday, January 14.
Construction projects that are deemed essential and permitted to open under the Provincewide Shutdown can be found here.
You can view the full list of enhanced Provincewide shutdown measures here.
Regulation under the Reopening Ontario Act (2020) Amendments: Wednesday, January 13
Late Wednesday evening, the Provincial government released the Regulation under the Reopening Ontario Act (2020), clarifying what type of construction work is deemed essential and permitted to remain open.
Construction emerges relatively unscathed by expanded Ontario lockdown; stakeholders say
Stakeholders are suggesting that despite the province declaring that non-essential construction will have to shut down, most of the construction work that was being undertaken before the new state of emergency was announced — perhaps as much as 85 per cent, in one estimate — will continue during the 28-day emergency period.
Ontario Building & Construction Tradeswomen
Established by the Provincial Building and Construction Trades Council of Ontario (PBCTCO), the Ontario Building and Construction Tradeswomen (OBCT) is a committee of tradeswomen working together to advocate for women in the trades to ensure they feel inspired, welcomed, motivated, challenged, and empowered. Through resources, mentorship and support, OBCT is building awareness among women in Ontario that a career in trades is not only an option, but can also benefit women (financial independence, job stability, benefits, leadership opportunities, retiring with a pension, etc.), and retain the women who have already chosen a career in trades.

PM shuffles cabinet, says he does not want election before all Canadians vaccinated
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau shuffled some key front bench posts in a cabinet shakeup this week, prompted by longtime Liberal Navdeep Bains' decision to step down as a minister.
Bains announced that he will not be running in the next federal election, and would be leaving cabinet, citing a desire to spend more time with his family. He will be staying on as the MP for Mississauga-Malton, Ont. until Canadians next go to the polls. The timing of Bains' departure sparked questions about whether the next federal vote could be looming.
Air cargo construction is booming, thanks to Amazon
Airports across the United States are devoting more space to freight shipments as online shopping surges in the pandemic. Since the pandemic started nearly a year ago, 15,000 fewer people arrive and depart daily from the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, known as CVG. Yet the 60 percent drop in passenger traffic is not so apparent on the airport's four runways, which are handling a record amount of air cargo — nearly 4,000 tons a day.

The Kameleoon results page allows you to view and analyze the results of your A/B tests. Discover its main features!
Discover our results page on video!
To access the results page of an experiment, log in to your Kameleoon back-office.
In the sidebar, go to the "Dashboard" of your A/B tests or personalizations.
On the home page of your personal space, you will find the results of your last A/B test and/or your last personalization.
Click on the blue block to access the results page of the experiment, or on "All tests" to access all the tests and pick another one.
The Dashboard page gives you access to the results of all your A/B tests and personalizations.
Note: You can also create a new test from this page by clicking "New Test" at the top right of the page.
A search bar allows you to easily find an experience by entering his name.
Filters and sorting are also available so you can easily find the experience you are looking for.
On this card, you will find an overview of the main results and essential information about the experience: name, associated website, tags and status (draft, online, paused, deviated or stopped).
To access the results of the experiment, hover over the card and click on the "See results" button that appears.
Several options are there to adapt the display of results to your needs. Filter your results, limit them to a particular date range, choose the type of view of visits and conversions, or switch to Bayesian view.
Use filters to limit the display of results to visitors meeting specific criteria.
When you apply a date range to the display of your results, the page only takes into account results within that range of dates.
To set a date range, click the calendar at the top of the page.
A pop-up opens and allows you to set the start and end dates of the date range.
Start by setting a start date to your date range. To do this, click on the first zone and in the calendar that opens, select the date of your choice.
Click the second date box to set an end date to your date range.
By default, the calendar offers a monthly display: all the days of the month are displayed. To change months, click on the arrows.
To switch to the annual view, click on the month at the top of the calendar. The calendar now displays 12 months and the arrows allow you to change the year. This is particularly useful for quickly selecting a remote date.
Click on a month to return to monthly view and view the days it contains.
Note: The dates before the launch of your test have no data, they can not be selected. They appear dimmed in the calendar.
Click on the day of your choice to confirm the choice of date.
To further refine your date range, set a start time and an end time.
Click on the time zone to bring up the clock setting.
Fill in the hours, minutes and seconds directly or click on the up and down arrows to set the time you want.
Note: A day starts at 00:00:00 and ends at 23:59:59.
To delete a set date range, simply click on the accompanying cross.
The results page will show the results of all the set date ranges.
Conventionally, the view per visit will count each visit regardless of the visitor. Viewing by visitor, on the other hand, will count unique visits.
For example, a visitor who visits the site three times will be counted as three visits in "View per visit" mode and as a single visitor in "View per visitor" mode.
When you change the display mode, the results of the page are recalculated according to the display mode you have chosen (number of visits or visitors). Improvement and conversion rates, in particular, are highly likely to change.
A second drop-down menu allows you to choose between a display of total conversions and a display of converted visits.
If "All conversions" is selected, a unique visitor who converted 3 times during the same session will be counted as 3 conversions.
On the other hand, if "Converted visits" is selected, this same visitor will be counted as a converted visit, regardless of the number of conversions during the session.
By default, the results of your test are presented to you according to a Frequentist analysis of data.
Kameleoon also offers you another statistical method: the Bayesian one, which is based on the the deduction of the results' evolution according to previous trends seen on this test and/or on similar tests.
For the details of the Bayesian statistical method, and which one is best for you, check out our dedicated articles: Frequentist or Bayesian Approach? and Results according to the Bayesian method.
To switch the Frequentist results display to Bayesian, click the switch button to the right of the display settings to set it to "ON".
At the top of the results page, to the right of the main information about the experiment, is the menu of general actions on the page.
This action updates all the data on the page without reloading the page itself. You are thus sure to consult the most recent data!
Reset data if you want to delete all the test results. To reset the data of a test is to start the test a second time, all the results are reset.
Warning ! This action is irreversible! It is offered to the user only if his role authorizes it, and a confirmation pop-in secures your data in case of an uncontrolled click.
In the drop-down menu, choose a display of the results by goal or by variation. The presentation of the results in the graphs and tables will then be modified: the displayed curves will represent either the goals or the variations. In the same way, each table will correspond either to a goal or a variation.
By modifying the reference variation, the results (and especially the improvement rates) will no longer be calculated according to the original page of your website but according to the variation of your choice.
To set a reference variation different from the original, switch the button to "ON". In the drop-down menu that appears, select the variation of your choice from the variations of your test.
If you only want to look at certain variations of your test, this option allows you to hide a selection of variations from the results page.
Click on the switch button to put it on "ON"; in the drop-down menu that appears, select the variation(s) you want to hide from the page.
In the same way as with variations, you can hide the goals you do not want to see.
Click on the switch button to put it on "ON" then, in the drop-down menu that appears, select the goal(s) you want to hide from the results page. Associated targets tables will not be displayed anymore.
You can check or uncheck all the goals at the same time in the pop-in.
We offer a default view, but you can set your own display according to your needs.
You can then save it so you will find the same display on your next visit. It is also possible to load a predefined view to apply it to the page.
To memorize the current display, just name it and, if you wish, set it as default view for this test. By checking this option, you will find this display with each new consultation of the results of this test.
You can apply to your page previous display settings set up on this same page.
Select a view from the drop-down menu and, if desired, set it as the default view for this test.
To the right of the selection field you will find a "trash" icon to delete a previously saved display.
To do so, select the display and click on the trash. Gone with the wind!
Configure alerts to be informed by e-mail of the evolution of your results.
First, enter the e-mail address to which you want to receive the alerts.
Two predefined alerts are directly available, but you can also set custom alerts.
Choose to be informed when your test results are ready or when a variation is identified as a winner on the main goal.
Click on the switch button of the alert to put it on « ON » and activate it.
Custom alerts can be set on any of the data available in your results. Just click on "Custom alerts" to set up.
In the first drop-down menu, select the data for which you want to be informed of the evolution: improvement rate, conversion rate, reliability, number of visits, visitors or conversions.
An alert will be sent to you as soon as the value reaches the threshold you set. Choose whether this threshold should be higher or lower than the value you want and fill in this value.
You can also be alerted when the value of the measured data increases or decreases in proportions that you set.
Finally, in the last drop-down menu, define the variations or goals to which the alert applies.
If you have chosen to be alerted about the improvement rate, the conversion rate or the number of conversions then you will define here the concerned goals. In other cases, you will have to choose among the variations of your test.
The "Actions" menu allows you to print the results of your experiment.
Two options are available: the detailed printing of a part of your results or the printing of a global summary.
In the first drop-down menu, select the graphs you want to print. All the graphs available in your results page are also available here. In the second drop-down menu, select the goals or variations for which you want to print the tables.
If your results display is set on "Goal view", the drop-down menu will let you choose the goals you want to print. If the display is set to "Variation view", it will allow you to choose which variations you want to print.
The table for the goal/variation.
The results of your tests can be exported under two different formats: Excel format and PDF.
To export your results in an Excel file, select "Excel" from the drop-down menu.
You can choose which type of data to export and your preferred display of Excel files: tabs per variation, tabs per goal or all data in the same tab.
Then click on "Export" to save the Excel file containing the result tables.
When opening the table, the first tab, "Info", reminds you of the main information about the test: title, date range, and targeting. The following ones depend on the view you have chosen.
All data is displayed and each tab is a variation.
To export your results in PDF format, select "PDF" from the drop-down menu.
Then select the information you want to export in the same way as for printing.
The results of a test can be shared by e-mail or by sending the URL of the page directly. The page thus shared only allows the consultation and does not give access to the editing options, the setting of the page or the various actions.
To share the results page by e-mail, select "Send report by e-mail" from the drop-down menu.
In the text box, enter up to 10 e-mail addresses separated by commas.
To delete an e-mail address, click on the cross next to it.
Then click on "Share" to send a report containing the results to the e-mail addresses.
To get a link to share your test results, select "Share URL of this page" from the drop-down menu.
Secure access to this page with a password. Access to the results page from the link will only be possible with the password of your choice. Set this password by entering it in the text block.
Click on "Copy and Close" to confirm the creation of the link, copy it to the clipboard and close the pop-in.
At the top of the results page is the main results of your test.
You will be able to see at a glance which variant of your experience is considered a winner.
The original variation is the recommended one.
In this case, we advise you to wait until the data is sufficient to exploit the results.
Note: In the "Actions" menu of the results page, you can define an alert that will inform you by e-mail as soon as the results of your test are reliable. Check out our article Actions on the results page to learn how to set up an alert.
On the left of the main results block is the name of the winning variation and the name of the primary goal (the goal for which the variation is winning).
When a variation outperforms on the primary goal and its reliability rate is sufficient, then it is considered as winning for the primary goal.
Have a reliability rate higher than the minimum set.
By default, a "reliable" variation is a variation whose reliability rate is greater than 70%. Nevertheless, you can change this rate by going to the configuration page of your website.
When the variation having the best improvement rate on the primary goal has an insufficient reliability rate, another variation is then recommended.
The recommended variation is the one offering the best improvement rate among the reliable variations.
By default, a "reliable" variation is a variation whose reliability rate is higher than 70% (you can change this rate by going to the configuration page of your site).
Variation 3 (7% improvement, 90% reliability).
Variation 1, while being the best performer, can not be considered a winner because its reliability rate is too low. The recommended variation is then the variation which, among those with a sufficient reliability rate, offers the best improvement rate: variation 2.
When none of the variations with a higher conversion rate than the original has a sufficient reliability rate, the original variation is a winner or recommended.
In this case, the improvement rate and the reliability rate are not measured on the original, only the conversion rate is indicated.
In this part of the main results block, you will also find a reminder if filters or date ranges are applied to your results page, as they may change the results.
In the center of the main results block, the results of the winning or recommended variation are displayed.
The reliability rate of the variation.
You will find the details of the results in the results table, further down the page.
The number of visitors tested.
The comparative view allows you to compare, on a spider web graph, the target improvement rates set on the test.
The comparative view is only available if at least two goals are configured on your A/B test.
To display the comparative view, click the "Comparative view" tab at the top of the chart area.
At the top left of the chart area, two drop-down menus allow you to select the goals and variations you want to display in the comparative chart.
To choose the goals you want to display on the comparative view, open the first drop-down menu by clicking on it.
The goals set on the experiment appear in the drop-down menu. By default, all goals are selected and therefore appear on the comparative graph.
To hide or show goals, deselect and select them by simply clicking on them. Note that at least two goals must be selected for the comparative view to appear.
Click "Uncheck all" to deselect all goals or "Check all" to select all.
To choose the variations you want to display on the comparative view, open the second drop-down menu by clicking on it.
All variations are displayed in the drop-down menu. By default, all active variations are selected and appear in the comparative view. The deactivated variations are neither selected nor displayed.
To hide or show variations, deselect and select them by simply clicking on them.
The comparative view displays, on a spider web graph, the rate of improvement of the variations on each goal. The original variation, shown in black, is the reference. You can quickly see which variations outperform or underperform on different goals.
We can see, on the example above, that the displayed variation (in blue) is more powerful than the original (in black) on the goals 1, 7 and 8 but underperforms on the other ones.
To visualize the improvement rate of a variation on a goal, hover with the mouse the point of intersection between the axis of the goal and the curve of the variation.
A dot appears to highlight the location when hovering with the mouse. A pop-in displays and indicates the improvement rate of the variation on hover, towards the goal on hover.
Click on one of the intersection points to highlight the intersection points of the variation on all goals and display the details.
In the tooltip that appears, you find the improvement rate of the variation on each of the goals displayed in the graph.
Click outside the tooltip to close it.
To see the improvement rates of the variations displayed in the graph for a particular goal, hover over the goal name with your mouse.
The graph allows you to visualize the evolution of the different data of the results page over time.
The x-axis displays the time scale, the y-axis the value of the data.
To view the comparative view, click the "Graphs" tab at the top of the graph area.
The display of the graph differs depending on whether you have chosen the view per variation or per goal in the "Actions" menu of the results page. To learn how to choose between the two types of views, see our article dedicated to actions on the results page.
If you have set the view per goal (default view), the graph will represent a goal and each curve will represent, for this goal, the evolution of the data of a variation in time.
On the contrary, with the view per variation, the graph will represent a variation and each curve, for this variation, the evolution of the data of a goal in time.
In this article, we will take as an example a graph displayed according to the view per goal (view by default).
The fineness of grouping data.
By default, the data displayed on the graph is the conversion rate.
To select another data, click the first drop-down menu to display the different types of data available.
Just click on the type of data you want to display in the graph to select it.
In the second drop-down menu, select the goal for which you want to view the results. The curves of the displayed variations will present the results on this goal.
Note : If you have chosen a view per variation, you will select from this drop-down menu the variation to display.
Like everywhere else on the results page, the main goal is identifiable by the little black star that accompanies it.
In the third drop-down menu, select the variations to display in the graph.
Click on a variation to select or deselect it. Two buttons also allow you to select or unselect everything.
A selected variation is accompanied by a full colored circle, a deselected one by an empty colored circle and a disabled one is grayed out and displayed at the end of the list.
In this example, variation 1 is selected, variation 2 is not, and variation 3 is disabled.
Each selected variation will be represented by a curve of the color assigned to the variation.
Different options for grouping data are available in order to adapt the display of your results to your test duration or the date range you set.
By selecting "Month" from the drop-down menu, the x-axis on the graph is graduated from month to month and each month is a point that groups together all the data measured over the month. The same goes for "Weeks", "Days" and "Hours".
You can choose the most relevant display for your test. If, for example, your test runs through a period of 2 months, it is better to choose a grouping by weeks. A display per month would not have sufficient finesse (only 2 points) and a grouping by days would have excessive finesse.
On the other hand, if you are interested in a range of dates that runs through 2 weeks, a grouping per day is recommended.
The evolution curve presents the evolution of data over time.
The graph above represents the evolution of the conversion rate (y-axis) over time (x-axis). Each curve represents one of the 3 variations displayed and the results are those related to Goal 1. The graduation of the time scale is made per day.
On hover, the detail of the results appears.
The name of the hovered variation.
By clicking on this point, the tooltip displays the value of the data for each variation on that date.
Click elsewhere on the page to close the tooltip.
A free zoom tool (3).
Click the "+" or "-" button to zoom in or out on the graph. The zoom – reduces the scale of the ordinate axis (data value) and the zoom + enlarges it. The use of zoom has no impact on the x-axis. The displayed date range and scale remain unchanged.
When + and – zooms are at their maximum, the buttons are dimmed and can not be used anymore.
The free zoom tool allows you to freely zoom in on the graphic area of your choice.
To define the area you want to zoom in, click in the grayed area and while holding your mouse click, drag the mouse diagonally to define a rectangle on the area you want to zoom.
The zoom area thus defined appears in light. When the area meets your needs, release the click. Two buttons appear at the bottom right of the rectangle.
Click on the validation button to confirm your selection and refresh the graph according to this one or click on the cross to cancel your selection and exit the "free zoom" mode.
By validating your selection, the graph view adapts. The selected area stretches to fill the entire chart area.
To exit the "free zoom" mode and return to the default view, click the free zoom button again.
The tables of results allows you to consult the details of your results, per variation or per goal.
Ventilation tools, filters and customized display are there to help you read the results of your test. Learn how to use them and you'll become an expert!
The result tables are located at the bottom of the page, under the graph area.
By default, the table of the main goal is unfolded, its results are directly visible. The tables of secondary goals are folded; just click on it to display their content.
The display of the tables differs depending on whether you have chosen the variation or goal view in the "Actions" menu of the results page. To learn how to choose between the two types of views, see our article about the actions on the results page.
If you have set the view by goal (default view), each table shows the results of each variation for a goal. Conversely, with the variation view, each table presents the results of each of the goals for a variation.
This article will treat the results tables from the view per goal.
The status of the goal (active or inactive).
Click on the header of a table to fold or unfold it.
Unlike a filter tool, breakdown allows you to view the results in more detail. Click on "Breakdown" above the table.
You can display the details of your results by browser, operating system, days of the week, etc.
Choose your breakdown and click on the "Validate" button. You can also apply this breakdown to all goals by checking the corresponding box below the drop-down list.
Note: Only available breakdowns are clickable. A padlock may appear in front of some of them to indicate that they are not available.
After validation, you obtain a display of the results corresponding to the selected breakdown. In this example, the selected breakdown concerns the browser. The results are distributed according to the different browsers used by your visitors.
Click on the variations to display the results associated with them, according to the chosen breakdown. To do this, click on the arrows on the right of each variation line.
The results then take place taking into account the chosen breakdown.
You can hide these details again by clicking on the same arrow.
If you want to delete a breakdown to return to the default view, click on the cross in the label of your breakdown.
You can also visualize the data with a graph. It only concerns the goal presented in the table. To do so, click on the "Display graph" button, just to the right of the "Breakdown" one, in order to make the section appear.
When you activate the graph display, the "Display Graph" button changes to "Hide Graph".
To learn more about viewing and adjusting the graph, you can visit our "Evolution curve" article.
The name of the winning variation (for the goal) appears in bold so it is immediately recognizable.
When view per goal is selected, each table displays the results related to a goal.
Each line represents a variation and each column a data.
Note: With variation view, each table presents the results related to a variation. Each line represents a goal and each column a data.
To scroll the table and view the following data, click the arrow on the right of the table.
Those that are unchecked do not appear.
Still in the settings menu , you can change the order of the columns by clicking on . With click-and-drop, you move the labels to rearrange your table.
You can re-switch to the "choice" mode by clicking on .
Note: The proposed data depend on several criteria: the type of goal (for example, for the goals of the "Transaction" type, the data "Average basket value" is proposed); the type of view (for example, in the view per variation, the "Number of visits" column is never displayed.
in ascending order if the arrow is pointing upwards.
For example, if you click on the title of the column "Number of visits", the variation presented first will be the one that counts the most visits, and so on until the variation that counts the least and is at the bottom of the board.
Only the variation column is not clickable.
If you save the display settings (via the "Actions" menu), the presence/absence of the columns and their order will be saved. In this way, you will find the same display on your next visit. For more information, see our article on saving display settings.
All columns in the result tables, except for the variations, have a title with a tooltip. This tooltip appears on hover.
The column headings are explained by these tooltips. You can also consult our Results page lexicon to find the definition of all key terms.
We will only detail here the data that presents a double level of information: the improvement rate and the indicator of reliability.
This column shows the improvement rate of the conversion on your goal. It is always in comparison to the original (which always has an improvement rate of 0). It therefore reflects the improvement of the conversion rate in comparison to this reference.
The percentage in bold just above the color block corresponds to the average improvement rate observed during previous visits. Here, this rate is 10%. In other words, on this goal, the test revealed a 10% improvement in conversion over the conversion rate of the original.
On hover, two percentages appear: this is the confidence interval. It indicates the interval in which your actual improvement rate may be. In the example above, the improvement rate has a 95% chance of being between the minimum (8%) and the maximum (12%).
The colored rectangle is also an indicator: its shape indicates the possible interval in which the improvement rate is, and visually represents this interval with respect to zero. The reliability rate associated with it is of 95%.
In the example below, the improvement rate has a 95% chance of being between -1.88% and + 2.32%, so almost as much probability of being negative as positive, which is represented by the shape of the blue rectangle.
This indicator represents the probability (in percentage) that a variation would beat the original.
The test is only reliable if it has been applied to a sufficiently large amount of visitors. If the number of tested visitors is too low, the test loses its value.
Your test is not considered complete until this reliability rate stabilizes over time. A visual indicator reflects the stabilization of the rate: if the 3 boxes light up, your rate is stable and your test is over!
Note: This indicator makes it possible to visualize, immediately and very easily, the evolution of the reliability. Just watch the boxes. However, you can also consult the graph showing the evolution of the reliability over time (by selecting "Reliability" in the "Graph" section of the block).
In this example, the first and third variations have their three boxes illuminated: their confidence level is stabilized, their results are reliable. The second variation, on the other hand, has only one illuminated box. This means that you have to wait until your reliability level stabilizes.
An icon to the right of each variation name allows to open the variation menu with a simple click.
Four actions are then possible.
This icon allows you to view the variation. Click to open a new browser tab showing the simulation mode, directly applied to the variation.
Click this option to display the traffic allocation pop-in.
You can then modify the allocation. There are two ways to do this: either use the cursor while holding the click, or double-click on a percentage to replace the value manually.
You can also deviate 100% of the traffic to the concerned variation. This means that all visitors will see this variation.
A pop-in opens when you click. You can then confirm the deviation or cancel the action (and change nothing).
If Variation 1 is the reference, the option is disabled for this variation; however, it is available for the original and for all other variations.
Note: By default, the box of the original is checked and it is not for variations.
Checking a variation identifies it immediately as the only reference variation.
Note: There can only be one reference variation. If you uncheck a variation, the original automatically becomes the reference.
The improvement rates are automatically recalculated according to this new reference variation.
You can also click on the variation line to deploy the data associated with it.
The side panel of the results page allows you to view the settings of the test for which you are viewing the results and making changes to it.
You will find this panel on the right side of the page. At any time, an arrow allows you to display or hide it.
You also find here a certain number of actions.
When hovering over the name of the test with your mouse, arrow(s) appear and allow you, by clicking on it, to display the results of previous or next test.
To change the status of your test, click on its current status and select from the drop-down menu the status you want to assign.
Click on the icon to open the experience simulation tool. To learn how to fully use the simulation tool, check out our dedicated articles.
Click on the icon to open your experience in the graphic editor and thus be able to modify it.
Click on the icon to permanently delete your experience. Warning ! This action removes the test and its results and is irreversible!
In the side panel, click on "Key Information" to view and edit the main information of your A/B test.
Name of the main goal.
Click on "Edit" to display the pop-in allowing you to change the name of the test, its description and the tags associated with it.
In the side menu, click on "Goals" to view and edit the goals related to your experience.
All goals related to the experience are listed here. The first one of the list is the main goal of your test and is identifiable by its full blakc star.
Hover over the name of the goal brings up an information icon.
Its description (or its configuration if there is no description).
Click "Edit" to change the order in which goals are displayed, to dissociate goals, or to associate new ones.
At the click on "Edit", a pop-in with the list of related goals opens.
When you hover over a goal with the mouse, it becomes gray and two icons appear.
The icon allows you to dissociate the goal and the icon indicates that you can edit its position in the list.
To dissociate a goal, simply click on the dissociation icon . A pop-in asks you to confirm your choice.
To change the display order of the goals, move them one by one using drag and drop: click on the goal you want to move and, while holding the click, drag it to the location you want. Then release the click.
In addition to editing their layout in the sidebar tab, rearranging the order of the goals also changes their position in the results tables.
To associate new goals, click "Associate a new goal".
The button is then replaced by a drop-down menu containing the created goals set on this website that are not yet associated with the test.
Select the goal(s) you want to associate with the test from those available in the list.
Click "Validate" to confirm the modifications or "Cancel" to close the pop-in without taking these modifications into account.
The "Variations" tab allows you to view the main information about the variations of the test and to modify the allocation of the traffic.
The set of variations created on the test are listed here and recognizable, as on the rest of the results page, by the colors associated to them.
The first variation of the list (black) is the original.
Under the name of each variation, you find the traffic rate allocated to it.
If you have hidden a variation ("Actions on the results page") of the results page, this is indicated as "hidden".
If you have disabled some variations, they appear after online ones.
Note: A variation is considered disabled when it has been de-selected from the graphic editor or when 0% of the traffic is allocated to it.
The traffic excluded from the test is displayed at the bottom of the tab.
To change the allocation of traffic, click "Edit".
A pop-in appears and allows you to change the traffic allocation for each variation associated with the test.
Define the distribution of traffic between variations in the same way as on the editor.
Click on the icon to view the variation in a new browser tab.
The icon tells you that you can deplace it in the list of variations.
To change the display order of the variations, move them one by one by drag and drop: click on the variation you want to move and, while holding your click, drag it to the location you want. Then release the click.
In addition to changing their layout in the sidebar tab, rearranging the order of variations also changes their position in the results tables.
The "targeting" tab allows you to view the conditions for targeting your experience and to modify them.
In the same way as in the step of finalizing your experience, you find here the targeting conditions that apply to it.
To change the targeting conditions, click on "Edit".
A pop-in containing the segment builder opens to change the targeting conditions in the same way as when you complete a test. To learn how to use the builder segment, see the dedicated article .
Note: If you modify a segment also used on another experiment, this one is duplicated so as not to disturb the other experiments. In this case, an informative message appears at the bottom of the pop-in.
The "Reporting tools" tab reminds you of the tracking tools you selected in step 3 of the finalization.
To add new reporting tools, click "Edit" at the bottom of the tab.
A pop-in opens with the list of reporting tools configured on your account.
Note: Only reporting tools configured with your account are displayed. To set up new reporting tools, see the dedicated articles.
If the available tools are numerous, a search bar appears and allows you to easily find a particular tool.
Check the reporting tools you want to associate with your experience and click "Validate" to confirm the modification.
The "History" tab keeps track of changes made to the test. The tab is similar to the "Timeline" page in your personal space, with the difference that you will find here only the actions made on the test.
By using the bayesian method of reporting, you are trusting a deductive solution of data analysis. Results are generated faster than with the classical method, and are just as safe, which is ideal for users with low traffic or urgent tests to come up with solutions to their A/B comparisons.
This method combines the actual data generated by the test with the a priori knowledge coming from prior studies or experts opinion. It provides an a posteriori information such as the estimation of future values for the conversion rate and the improvement rate. This anticipation of tendencies is called « Forecast » on the reporting page.
When you click on « View results » from the Dashboard, you access to the classical reporting page by default.
The Bayesian button is placed at the top of your results page.
To access to the results generated by the bayesian statistics, just switch to "ON".
Structure of the Bayesian reporting page is quite similar to the classical reporting page.
However, some elements differ from it.
New indicators appear such as the probability to beat the orginal, the reliability of results according to Bayes, and the idea of forecast.
Several graphs will disappear on this page, and the conversion rate alone will be displayed.
This is the probability that a variation has to beat the original page with a higher conversion rate on a given objective.
In the case where the traffic allocated to the original is 0%, the variations, thus sharing 100% of the traffic, do not compete with the original anymore. We will then talk about the « Probability to be the winning variation ».
It corresponds to the confidence rate attributed to the results. The rate is calculated on a 3-level scale, which is easy to interpret thanks to the legend that automatically appears in the "Reliability" column of the result tables. The results are completely reliable once the 3 squares are full: this means that the reliability rate has stabilized over time. Be careful, to guard against any reversal of trend, it is advisable not to exploit your results before reaching a sufficient reliability rate.
Forecast is the anticipation of a value to which will converge the results. This data is only available for both conversion rate and improvement rate.
Forecasting a future value requires to collect a certain amount of data, so this indicator may not appear the first days after the launching of the test.
The forecasts appear directly on the table board, after the actual values of the conversion rate and improvement rate.
The value forecast also appears in the conversion rate graph, it is located in the grey area on the right. It is symbolized by a circle, and takes the color of the variation it represents.
Use the dotted horizontal lines to compare the actual evolution of your conversion rate with its future value.
My results are very different, is it normal?
Both statistical methods lead to equivalent results, but they do not insure a perfect similarity between the two. It is thus normal that you happen to observe differences between some rates.
In some cases, two different variations can be announced winners on a same test.
Make sure that the trust rate is at its maximum in both methods before comparing the two data. If they are and that the doubt remains, then we advise you to use the results of the classical method.
What is the statistical significance ?
Z-score is a statistical measurement allowing to determine the validity of the results of a variation and if a variation is more or less efficient than the reference. For further information about z-score, you can read the Standard score article on Wikipedia.
For example, if the statistical significance of your test is 90%, it will mean that the variation has 90% chances to beat the original, but there is also a 10% risk to be wrong.
In this example, variation 1 is more efficient than reference variation, but is your test significant enough? By calculating the statistical significance, we notice that variation 1 is more efficient than reference variation and that significance is 96%: your A/B test is a success! You can now use variation 1 as reference.
If you are using Google Analytics or Kameleoon as reporting tool, Kameleoon will calculate automatically the significance of your test. In Google Analytics, you will only see the conversion rate for each goal, but you cannot know easily which variation is the most efficient. Kameleoon calculates automatically the z-score, allowing you to check if your results are significant and if your variation is more or less efficient than its reference.
You can see these measurement in your personal space. To do this, you must be logged in on your personal space.
Once you are logged in, click on the "All tests" button.
Then, click hover on the test card and lick on "View results".
The reliability rate, or statistical significance.
In the example below, the reliability rate is 99%.
Note: This indicator makes it possible to visualize, immediately and very easily, the evolution of the reliability. Just watch the boxes.
You can also consult the graph showing the evolution of the reliability over time, by selecting "Reliability" in the "Graph" section of the block. You can do it on the "Graph" section of the page or by displaying the graph in specific goal table. Then choose to display the reliability rate on the graph.
When the curve flattens, it means that the results of your test are stabilized and that you can use this data with confidence.
Pages/Screen per session: the user's interactions will be considered a conversion. To use this type of goal, you must configure at least one event.
Click on "Continue" to define your goal details. In our example, we have selected the "Destination" type for our goal.
First, indicate the title of the report and the type of report to generate ("Explorer", "Flat table" or "Map Overlay"). Fill out the metrics in the "Metric group" part.
To finish, add a filter containing the name of your test. This will allow you to obtain only the result of the A/B test. Click on "Save" and you will obtain a custom report with these data.
Universal Analytics is the new version of Google Analytics. One big difference is the replacement of custom variables by custom dimensions. It is now necessary to declare in Universal Analytics the use of each custom dimension for A/B testing, otherwise the results will not be easy to reach – which is another big difference with Google Analytics.
If Universal Analytics registers datas from more than 1 test, you have to create one new custom dimension for each test or your results will not be relevant.
You are a ContentSquare customer? When you create an A/B test with Kameleoon, you will now be able to read your results in ContentSquare.
The first step is to install ContentSquare.
Log in to your personal space at https://back-office.kameleoon.com, click on "Configuration" and then "Integrations" in the sidebar.

You just have to validate your choice. ContentSquare will be mentioned in the summary pop-in before going live.
Kameleoon will automatically transmit the data to ContentSquare and you will be able to view your results directly in the tool.
Once Content Square is defined as a reporting tool for an A/B test, you can select (or unselect) it via the A/B results page. To do this, click on "Reporting Tools" in the right panel to open the corresponding menu.
The reporting tools associated with the test are displayed. Click "Edit" to edit this selection.
You can then select or unselect ContentSquare. Then click on "Validate" and continue to finalize or update your A/B test.
In Contentsquare, you will be able to segment your visitors based on the Kameleoon tests and variations they have been exposed to. These segments are usable in the set of Contentsquare analysis modules.
To access results on ContentSquare, log in to your dashboard.
First of all, you need to activate heat maps as a reporting tool from your personal space in order to add it to the list of your reporting tools. When the tool has been configured, you will be able to select it when you launch your tests.
To do so, log in to your personal space. Use the left menu to go to the "Integrations" page.
Click on the "Heat map" icon to activate heat maps.
Fill in the width of your website, in pixels (for example, 1024 px) and validate.
Now the tool is set up for your website, you can use it when you launch your tests!
Before launching your test, in the "Finalization" menu, you can select the reporting tools of your choice in step 3.
Check the "Heat map" box. Note that you can add as many reporting tools as you want.
You can activate the heat map with one or several other reporting tools.
Once your A/B test or your personalization launched, you will be able to consult the heat map by variation.These are accessible from your personal space and on the results page of your experience.
Once connected, click on the "All tests" button, or use the left side menu to go to the "Overview" page.
On hover on the test card, you will see "View Results". Click to access the associated results page.
The heat maps are shown on the results page (if you selected HeatMap as a reporting tool; if not, it displays an error message).
Click on the "Heatmap" tab to display the map associated with each variation.
Note: Heat maps do not take into account filters and periods that you may have defined in the display settings of your results.
By default, the right field indicates the URL that you specified in the editor. You can edit this information to display heat maps associated with another URL. In this case, the data will update automatically.
Access the settings menu by clicking on the icon .
Via this menu, you can adjust the sensitivity (in order to easily identify the areas that attract the most clicks), the size of the points (increase or decrease their diameter) and the opacity (adjust the degree of transparency/opacity of your color) of your heat map. A simple click also allows you to open the map in a new tab.
Finally, you can compare the heat maps of two different variations. To do so, select two variations in the dedicated menu and the cards will be displayed next to each other.
Log in to your personal space on https://back-office.kameleoon.com, click on "Configuration" and then "Integrations" in the sidebar.
If you search "smarttag" (with or without space, with or without capital letters), the tool "AT Internet – SmartTag" should be displayed in the search results.
The tool "AT Internet – SmartTag" will be available to users of every subscription type (A/B Testing, Personalization, Predictive), except Freemium. By default, the tool is not installed.
To use SmartTag, the first step is to activate "AT Internet – SmartTag" on the Integrations page.
With a click on "Install the tool", you will be able to select the websites on which you want to activate it, and indicate the SmartTag variable(s) you are using for your website(s), so that information can be correctly reported to AT Internet (the same already applies for Comscore and Ysance).
When selecting a website, you are asked to inform Kameleoon about the tracking variable it should use.
If you select more than one website, a checkbox appears "Use the same setting for all selected sites". By default, the box is checked.
If you leave it checked, the same tracking variable will be used for all websites.
If you uncheck the box, you will be able to switch between all selected websites in the drop-down list at the top. You will have to give a variable for each selected website.
Once you have configured the tool and click on "Validate" in the bottom-right corner, the configuration panel closes. You will then see a "ON" toggle on the right of the tool's line, as well as the number of websites the tool is configured on.
Once AT Internet – SmartTag has been activated on the Integrations page for a website, it has to be displayed in the "Tracking and goals" pop-in in the Graphic Editor.
If you want to select it for an A/B Test, you can just click on the toggle – you have nothing else to parameter at this point.
Once AT Internet – SmartTag is added, it is then displayed in the "Test summary" pop-in.
Once AT Internet – SmartTag has been chosen as tracking tool for an A/B Test, it appears in the Reporting tools list on the right-hand side of the test result page.
If you click on "Edit" you will access a pop-in where you can manage the used tools for this A/B Test. AT Internet – SmartTag should also appear on this list.

Uncollected machining oil mist and coolant can be hazardous to health. Oil mist can cause slippery floors and collect on machines, ceilings, walls, and surroundings, thus creating an unpleasant working environment. An oil mist collector is inevitably a very useful attachment which eliminates dust, smoke, etc., generated by a variety of machining applications such as brazing, casting, screw machining, drilling/boring, grinding, milling, and hobbing. Oil mist collectors are the best alternatives to centrifugal collectors, by eliminating the inherent problems of noise, low separation efficiency, and strong vibration. Additionally, oil mist collectors come in various designs, depending upon the application, ranging from small-scale to large-scale. Also, oil mist collectors handle numerous types of oil mist, including mineral oil, water-soluble oil, synthetic coolants, and straight oil. The competence of an oil mist collector depends upon the efficiency of various components, which include filters, gauges, drive fans, sump boxes, dampers, etc. Globally, industrialized nations such as Germany, Japan, the U.K., China, the U.S., etc., clearly outpace developing countries in terms of market share in the oil mist collector market. However, a strong demand for oil mist collectors is foreseen in developing countries.
In the oil mist collector market, manufacturers strive to maintain technological capabilities and machinery knowledge to adapt to changing industry demands, in addition to developing innovative products such as higher efficiency filtration systems, provides a competitive edge and enduring success opportunities. Enhancing economic efficiency across developing economies portrays substantial growth opportunities for the manufacturing sector, thereby translating to the positive growth of the oil mist collector market. Furthermore, increase in industrial value-added (IVA) is one of the cited factors attributing to the growth of the oil mist collector market. Importantly, industry-related norms for the healthy environment also encourage manufacturers to install oil mist collectors.
Electrostatic precipitators (ESPs), HVAC filter collectors, and centrifugal collectors are some of the alternatives for oil mist collectors. Subsequently, the growth of any of the product segments will likely impede the demand growth for oil mist collectors. Manufacturers are developing multi-stage oil mist collectors with an aim to increase efficiency. Moreover, the positive trend for the oil mist collector market also catalyzes the demand for components.
The global oil mist collector market can be segmented on the basis of installation, end user/application, and region.
The outlook for the oil mist collector market depends on the performance of various economies across the world, primarily in North America, but progressively in China and Western Europe. The U.S. oil mist collector market continues to face near-term impediments; for instance, federal government debt and uncertainty in regulations. Moreover, China's booming manufacturing sector proposes huge potential for the manufacturers of oil mist collectors, owing to increasing awareness about the importance of air quality as one of the top national agendas.
The manufacturing sector in Russia – being at the forefront in Eastern Europe, is set to recover on the back of efficient government regulations, initiatives for external investments, and increasing purchasing power of the population. These factors reaffirm the robust growth outlook for the oil mist collector market in Russia. Furthermore, rising demand from Japan, the U.S., and the Middle East aids the growth of South Korea's manufacturing industry, and is aiding acceleration of the oil mist collector market. Brazil, an economic engine of Latin America, is gradually emerging as one of the prominent countries to augment the growth of the global oil mist collector market. In India – the launch of the Make in India initiative proliferates enormous growth opportunities for the oil mist collector market. Therefore, the scenario of the metalworking industry plays a vital role in the oil mist collector market.
