Faces of Product Pleasure: 25 Positive Emotions in Human-Product Interactions Faces of Product Pleasure: 25 Positive Emotions in Human-Product Interactions Pieter M. A. Desmet Delft University of Technology, Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering, Delft, The Netherlands The study of user emotions is hindered by the absence of a clear overview of what positive emotions can be experienced in human-product interactions. Keywords – Emotion-Driven Design, Positive Emotions, Questionnaire Research. Relevance to Design Practice – Positive emotions differ both in how they are evoked and in how they influence usage behaviour. Citation: Desmet, P.

Dr. Introduction Products can evoke a wide range of emotions, both negative and positive. All designed technology, products, services, and systems evoke emotions, and not considering these emotions in the design process is a missed opportunity at best. Existing Emotion Typologies Arousal

Overcome Marketing Automation Challenges for 2015 with One Simple Word: Relevance What’s not to love in marketing automation? For a fact, some businesses feel odd with the idea. They do not seem to be satisfied when they let computer software systems do their lead management for them, as though B2B lead generation is gradually losing its human face. Personalization gave itself away to synthetic emails and content – or so we are made to believe. It is clear that marketing automation has succeeded where hands-on lead management didn’t. But this has not necessarily rung the death knell of personalization. But let us be frank: personalization will continue to be a challenge in 2015. The idea now is to combine the human function of personalization with the analytical function of marketing software. Equip your staff with expertise. Like a ship, marketing automation software should be manned only by expert hands. Dig Deeper: Marketing Automation and Why You’ll Need a Healthy Dose of It Aim for quality. So, you have a bulk of leads. Deliver dynamic content.

Science of Sound Sound’s amazing power to heal and transform Healing power of the gong The gong is one of the oldest instruments of healing and has been used for thousands of years in meditation, ceremony and rituals. Today they are used in yoga and meditation classes, sound therapy practice, group gong bath meditations and in palliative and cancer treatment centers to promote health and well-being. They are also a wonderful addition at weddings, family celebrations, workshops, and music festivals. Grand Gongmaster Don Conreaux According to Don Conreaux “The secret of the gong is its tremendous potential for healing and rejuvenation.” “The gong is more accurately a force of energy, "like a divine engine, affecting the body's meridians. The so unds from the gongs travel from the outer ear throughout the body via the vagus nerve -- impacting brain waves, respiratory rate and heart rate. "We call it the Music of Wholeness," Don explains. Sound as medicine Good vibrations - how sound works Stress Dr.

Preeminent PPC Marketing Sydney Company in Australia | Blackglass ISVR - Institute of Sound and Vibration Research Let us now imagine one of those particles that moves back and forth as the high and low pressure peaks of the wave pass. The greater the rate at which the point moves back and forth, the greater the frequency (f) of the wave (defined as the number of oscillation cycles a particle makes each second, and given the units of Hertz, Hz, which has dimensions of (1/time)). It is the inverse of the period (in seconds) which measures the amount of time it takes for a wave to complete one oscillation or cycle. The velocity of a wave in a given medium (air, water, etc) is fixed and is related to the physical characteristics (temperature, density, etc...) of the medium. The animation below shows two acoustic longitudinal waves with two different frequencies but travelling with the same velocity. The next animation shows two acoustic longitudinal waves with the same frequency but travelling with two different velocities.

Pay-Per-Click Marketing - Learn PPC Marketing Best Practices What is PPC (pay-per-click) marketing? Pay-per-click marketing is a way of using search engine advertising to generate clicks to your website, rather than “earning” those clicks organically. You know those sponsored ads you often see at the top of Google’s search results page, marked with a yellow label? Here’s how it works: Every time your ad is clicked, sending a visitor to your website, you pay the search engine a small fee. Ultimately, pay-per-click marketing is good for everyone: It’s good for searchers – Research indicates that searchers click on paid search ads more often than any other form of digital advertising. The unique advantage of PPC marketing is that Google (and other ad networks) don’t just reward the highest bidders for that ad space, they reward the highest-quality ads (meaning the ads that are most popular with users). Google AdWords for Pay-Per-Click Marketing Is Pay-Per-Click Marketing Right for You? The difficulty is in the execution.

Learning to Play the Harp Intuitively | Rainbow Light Foundation “There is geometry in the humming of the strings, there is music in the spacing of the spheres.”Pythagoras When I bought a small gothic harp, I was encouraged by Rainbow Light Foundation to teach myself to play intuitively. I had never done this before and wondered how it would happen. After putting on an introductory talk about healing harp music, I received enquiries for lessons and decided to teach people to play the small harp intuitively. Some people recall being told by their school music teachers that they are not musical, resulting in the belief that they are not capable of learning an instrument. Incorporated into lessons is The Emerald Alignment, which is a relaxing energy field alignment, encouraging creative music energy to flow through the body and into the strings. In the first lesson, I encourage students to explore the strings through plucking and strumming. Examples of intuitive harp music: Star Quest and Little Flower

Meditation Instruments | Sound Therapy | Crystal Singing Bowls Pythagoras and Music of Life Pythagoras & Music of the Spheres There is geometry in the humming of the strings ... there is music in the spacing of the spheres. Pythagoras From Egypt we move across the Mediterranean Sea to the Greek island of Samos, the birthplace of Pythagoras, whose ideas dominate most of the material in this course. We'll introduce Pythagoras and his secret society of the Pythagoreans. We'll look at the Pythagoreans' ideas about numbers, as a prelude to our next unit on number symbolism. Our main link between Egypt and Greece seems to be Thales c 640-550 BC, father of Greek mathematics, astronomy, and Philosophy, and was one of the Seven Sages of Greece. Raphael's School of Athens Slide 3-1: Raphael's School of Athens 1510-11. Janson, H. Pythagoras is shown in this famous painting, done by Raphael in 1510-11, which also shows most of the Greek philosophers. Socrates sprawls on the steps at their feet, the hemlock cup nearby. Plato's student Aristotle, the man of good sense, stands next to him. 2 Dyad.

Harmony and Proportion: Pythagoras: Music and Space Pythagoras (6th century BC) observed that when the blacksmith struck his anvil, different notes were produced according to the weight of the hammer. Number (in this case amount of weight) seemed to govern musical tone... See if you can hear the sound in your imagination before it comes, by judging from the proportions of the string lengths. The first one's easy. Again, number (in this case amount of space) seemed to govern musical tone. He also discovered that if the length of the two strings are in relation to each other 2:3, the difference in pitch is called a fifth: ...and if the length of the strings are in relation to each other 3:4, then the difference is called a fourth. Thus the musical notation of the Greeks, which we have inherited can be expressed mathematically as 1:2:3:4 All this above can be summarised in the following. (Another consonance which the Greeks recognised was the octave plus a fifth, where 9:18 = 1:2, an octave, and 18:27 = 2:3, a fifth;)

Secret Teachings of All Ages: The Pythagorean Theory of Music and Color Sacred Texts Esoteric Index Previous Next p. 81 HARMONY is a state recognized by great philosophers as the immediate prerequisite of beauty. A compound is termed beautiful only when its parts are in harmonious combination. The world is called beautiful and its Creator is designated the Good because good perforce must act in conformity with its own nature; and good acting according to its own nature is harmony, because the good which it accomplishes is harmonious with the good which it is. The universe is made up of successive gradations of good, these gradations ascending from matter (which is the least degree of good) to spirit (which is the greatest degree of good). It is highly probable that the Greek initiates gained their knowledge of the philosophic and therapeutic aspects of music from the Egyptians, who, in turn, considered Hermes the founder of the art. The key to harmonic ratios is hidden in the famous Pythagorean tetractys, or pyramid of dots. From Fludd's De Musica Mundana.

Energy medicine Early reviews of the scientific literature on energy healing were equivocal and recommended further research,[9][10] but more recent reviews have concluded that there is no evidence supporting clinical efficacy.[11][12][13][14][15][16] The theoretical basis of healing has been criticised,[17][18][19][20] research and reviews supportive of energy medicine have been criticised for containing methodological flaws[21][22][23] and selection bias[21][22] and positive therapeutic results have been dismissed as the result of known psychological mechanisms.[21][22] Edzard Ernst, lately Professor of Complementary and Alternative Medicine at the University of Exeter, has warned that "healing continues to be promoted despite the absence of biological plausibility or convincing clinical evidence ... that these methods work therapeutically and plenty to demonstrate that they do not. History[edit] Classification[edit] Polarity therapy[edit] Beliefs[edit] There are various schools of energy healing.
