Worthington, OH – 6/27/2017 – Prosper Insights & Analytics and e-forecasting.com have joined forces to create the New Consumer Confidence Indices (NCI). The NCI is an anticipatory macro-economic indicator and forward-looking predictive analytic that uses Prosper’s datasets on sentiment/mood to uncover unique inflection points in business cycles. The NCI set contains four confidence indices that add useful, clearly understood, and effective instruments to the toolbox of forecasters, public policy analysts, and business planners who monitor the future path of the national economy. These indices include:

1. A Growth Cycle predictive analytic which has a nine-month lead time at both peaks and troughs of the business cycle. In addition, it identifies and distinguishes slowdowns from recessions and recoveries from expansion phases.
2. A Classic Cycle analytic which looks at consumer behavior in a dynamic way by looking at patterns of both positive and negative in consumers’ mood and sentiment balanced against the economy’s long-term GDP trend average.
3. A Future Recession Probability predictive analytic which measures the gap between current and expected growth in GDP measured by consumers’ optimism to create a new recession risk analysis leading indicator.
4. An Optimism predictive analytic which computes the probability of business cycle fluctuation based on consumers’ expectations over the next six months relative to their economic well-being and optimism for the near future.

“The New Confidence Indices are tools to help forecast the near future, uniquely focusing on the turning points, which are the most difficult to predict concepts in business cycle analysis,” explains Dr. Evangelos Simos Ph.D. and Chief Economist. “It is based on Prosper’s Consumer Confidence question from the Monthly Consumer Survey of Adults 18+ in the U.S. and is ‘data we don’t have’ made predictive by ‘data we have’.”

About New Consumer Confidence Indices (NCI)
The NCI was developed by Dr. Evangelos Otto Simos, Ph.D. and Chief Economist of e-forecasting.com, using the Monthly Consumer Survey which has been collected by Prosper Insights & Analytics since 2002. It was constructed by using higher order, predictive analytics modeling compared to “first-order” methods of the traditional consumer sentiment or confidence indices of the University of Michigan and the Conference Board respectively. It was drawn from an optimization dynamic process designed to meet a well-defined objective.

The Top Dog Deals, which provides a variety of pet care products to pet owners and dog lovers, has recently announced that they have a new product on the market. They have released a folding dog food and water bowl, which offers convenience to those who travel with their dogs.

“It’s the perfect companion for traveling dog lovers,” says a spokesperson for The Top Dog Deals. “You can provide food and water to your dog conveniently on the go.”

The company states that their bowl, which can be seen at Collapsible Silicone Dog Bowl, is made from silica gel and comes in color choices of green, red, yellow, orange, pink, and blue. They explain that the design is specifically targeted toward pet owners who like to travel and take their pets along with them and that it offers a much more convenient way to ensure that dogs get the water that they need while traveling.

Dogs need access to water at all times, particularly during the warm months. Pet owners who vacation during summer may find it difficult to keep a steady supply of food and water, particularly when traveling long distances. While stopping may not be an issue, having access to containers to feed and supply water can, according to the company spokesperson.

“We’ve designed this bowl to conveniently fold up and make it easier for you to just grab it and go,” says the company spokesperson. “In this way, when you stop at a rest area or even while you’re still driving in your RV or car, you can give him the water that your dog needs quickly.”

The company states that while most pet owners would never risk their pet’s health by withholding water or food until a more convenient time, they wanted to provide a bowl that is easily taken on long or short trips to make it a bit easier for the pet lovers. They suggest joining them on their official Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/thetopdogdeals/, to learn more about the bowl and to connect with other dog owners who have used it.

The Top Dog Deals provides a number of supplies for pet owners of all types. More about the company can be seen on their website at thetopdogdeals.com.

June 27, 2017 – – Reputed plumbing company announced that it is able to provide restoration services to Washington residents whose homes have sustained water damage.

Washington, DC — DC Plumber LLC has made an announcement regarding its water restoration services in the Washington, DC area. According to the company, leaky pipes can cause huge damage to Washington, DC homes. The company stated that if homeowners find themselves in such a situation, it is important that they act quickly, as water can rapidly penetrate the building materials of a home, causing extensive long-term damage. DC Plumber went on to state that water damage can be deceptive, as water penetrates into structural cavities, creating trapped pockets of saturation. DC Plumber announced that its expert technicians use sophisticated water detection meters to locate these pockets of water and minimize water damage.

DC Plumber went on to describe some of the damage that trapped water can cause. According to the company, the most common type of damage is a pervasive odor that is very unpleasant for families. DC Plumber also stated that undetected water can damage the structure of the house itself, by causing building materials to delaminate, split, shrink, and deteriorate. According to DC Plumber, areas with pools of trapped water can also become breeding grounds for harmful pathogens, including mold and bacteria.

DC Plumber was pleased to announce that it is able to treat water damage and its hazardous effects. DC Plumber stated that it has tools that can rapidly dry wet areas in homes, before serious water damage can occur. The company also stated that it is able to disinfect wet areas of bacteria and fungi, so that hazardous pathogens do not become an issue. DC Plumber announced that its master technicians are also able to repair and replace leaky pipes, as the best way to treat water damage is to prevent it from happening in the first place.

DC Plumber concluded by stating that leaky pipes and water damage constitute plumbing emergencies, which should be dealt with as soon as possible. For this reason, DC Plumber announced that it provides twenty-four hour emergency plumbing services to DC-area residents. The company stated that it has technicians on call around the clock, every day of the week. DC Plumber stated that by sending technicians out on a 24/7 basis, it is able to treat plumbing emergencies before they become plumbing catastrophes.

June 27, 2017 – – The majority of people enjoy the benefits of microwave cooking but hate its drawbacks. The main benefit is that food is ready very rapidly. One significant drawback is that a microwave appliance can only cook one plate at a time, leaving it to go cold if more have to be cooked. The second major problem is that the food has a tendency to splatter while being cooked inside the oven. Some companies aimed to resolve this with a glass microwave cover, but this often caused a build-up of steam, leading to some people getting themselves burned when removing the cover. Monika’s Marketplace, based in Sanford, FL, set out to remedy that situation and released their BPA-free plastic microwave cover with steam vent release.

A company representative from Monika’s Marketplace says: “Cooking with a glass cover is nothing short of dangerous, and we were personally horrified by it. Glass is always dangerous, even if it is toughened, as it can be accidentally dropped and shatter into sharp pieces. It also heats up in the microwave, and it does not allow steam to escape. We are so happy to see that many people have now replaced their glass cover with our plastic cover that is fitted with a vent release.”

The cover has a number of key benefits besides the fact that it is not made from glass. Because it has a vented steam release function, users can avoid being burned. They can also choose to leave the domed cover in place while they cook the next plate, keeping the food hot. But perhaps the greatest benefit is that it completely eliminates food splatter in the microwave.

The representative adds: “We have conducted swab tests of a number of microwaves and you would be horrified at what was found in them. Despite people’s best intentions, it is almost impossible to really remove all the food splatter from the inside, and each time the microwave is used, what remains in there gets heated up again and may get into whatever food is cooking at the time.”

Those interested in replacing their glass microwave cover can find Monikas Markplace microwave cover on Amazon.com.
