There are different traditions observed when St. Patrick's Day arrives. In some cities, the bars are wide open, people wear green, even rivers are dyed green! And people send each other silly green cards. <br />
<br />
In keeping with tradition, our Panelists who will receive their Gift Cards today and tomorrow will be getting a special <span style="color: green;"><b>Green</b></span> designed card from Amazon!<br />
<br />
So for those expecting their Gift Cards / Certificates for answering the surveys on a <b>Restaurant Study</b> and <b>Several Products</b>, check your emails and look for that green card! Then hop on to Amazon and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref_%3Dnb_sb_noss%26field-keywords%3Dgreen%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Daps&tag=dataoperpaneb-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957">Go Green!</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=dataoperpaneb-20&l=ur2&o=1" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0px;" width="1" /><br />

Today marks the 100th year of International Women's Day. In some countries, IWD has the equivalent status of Mother's Day, where children give small presents to their mothers and grandmothers. <br />
<br />
In many regions across Europe, this day is an occasion for men to express their love for women in a way somewhat similar to a mixture of Mother's Day and St Valentine's Day. Some countries like New Zealand even prepared a <a href="http://www.voxy.co.nz/national/breakfast-celebrate-centennial-women039s-day/5/84440" target="blank">Breakfast To Celebrate The Centennial Women's Day</a>.<br />
<br />
So, to carry on the tradition of honouring our mothers, sisters, wives, girlfriends, colleagues and friends with flowers and small gifts, we will be giving out today's rewards with special designs on your Amazon Gift Cards! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Wtujh2QdyoU/TXVekZnHmkI/AAAAAAAAAHo/4uZSAW9QUsE/s400/GiftCards.jpg" width="390" /></div><br />

On rare occasions, we receive a call or an email from a panelist encountering an error on a survey.<br />
<br />
If you are getting an error page like "page cannot be displayed", "page cannot be found", "Server Not Found" and such, this means that the server could not find what was requested or it was configured not to fulfill the request.<br />
<center><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_riJEpbPT6Cg/TQAArJbDuZI/AAAAAAAAAGU/Vq9gqGT6Ado/s1600/404-error.gif" /></center><br />
<br />
<b><u>Here are some simple options that you can do:</u></b><br />
<br />
1. <b>Open the link on a new browser</b> - Copy the link or url then close your browser. Open a new one and paste the link on the address bar. <br />
<br />
You can also do this on a new tab, but we would recommend opening a new browser if this does not work.<br />
<br />
2. If option 1 does not work, try to check the link/url you have copied and make sure there are no spaces before the "http", after the "asp" or in between. <br />
<br />
If you see the characters <span style="font-size: large;">%20</span> this means the space is being recognized by your browser. All you have to do is just remove it.<br />
<br />
3. If options 1 and 2 did not resolve the error, please make a screenshot of the error page and send it to us at [customerservice@datassential.com] so we can help you.<br />
<br />
<b><u>What's a Screenshot and how do I make one?</u></b><br />
A screenshot, or screen capture, is a way to "take a picture" of your computer screen. Press the "Print Screen" button (some keyboards have "PrtScn"), paste it into your paint program, save it to disk, and email the picture as an attachment.<br />
<br />
<center><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_riJEpbPT6Cg/TQAG6A4FMjI/AAAAAAAAAGY/GGXY_bvpRsg/s1600/screenshot1.gif" /></center><br />
<br />
<b><i>How do I make a file?</i></b><br />
<br />
After you've pressed "Print Screen" or "PrtScn", open your favorite image editor or use the Paint program that comes with Windows, by pressing Start, All Programs, Accessories and then Paint. Now in Paint (or your equivalent), hit Edit, Paste, and you should now have an image of your screen within the image editing program.<br />
<br />
Now save this image to a file. Typically that means File, Save As... Give it a file name you'll remember. We suggest selecting either "JPEG" or "PNG" file format instead of the default bitmap. They're smaller in file size.<br />
<br />
A couple of additional notes:<br />
<br />
•PrtScn takes a picture of the entire current screen.<br />
•ALT+PrtScn takes a picture of the currently active window only.<br />
<br />

This Holiday Season, Datassential aimed for, and accomplished, sending out all pending Gift Certificates to panelists who completed all the surveys that have been closed. <br />
<br />
Except for the live surveys that just launched last week, (1)Ketchup and Mustard, (2)Market Sizing and (3)Risotto In-Store test, all Gift Certificates/Cards were already sent. This means, as of today, there is no gift Certificate in queue! Isn't that great?!<br />
<br />

We encourage everyone to try to respond as soon as you’re invited to reduce the chance that surveys will be closed. Then redeem and save your Gift Cards so you could buy even more gifts at Amazon.com!<br />

Several studies were launched and closed. We had surveys about Coffee, Avocado, and several others about various food items. Now halfway through this month, we already closed a study about ketchup bottles and a couple more on several food products.<br />
<br />
There is one more study that will close out within 24 hours. And we are in need of Foodservice Operators who purchase and/or serve <i>soup</i>. You can check the status of our live surveys on the sidebar of this blog. <br />

Our surveys are for invitation only. When a survey goes live, some may be actively open for a variation of length, from a day to even a month.<br />
<br />
Below are a few questions that we often get from our members. We'll be updating this list whenever we encounter important questions.<br />
<br />
<b>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)</b><br />
<br />
• <i>How much can I earn?</i><br />
<br />
In exchange for your participation, we would be giving you gift certificates from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/" target="_blank">Amazon.com</a> ranging from $10-$40, sometimes it may even reach to $60 per survey, depending on the length of the study.<br />
<br />
• <i>How will I know if I qualify for the Gift Certificate?</i><br />
<br />
On the survey, once you see the last page that says "thank you for completing the survey", this indicates that you are done with the study and is automatically qualified to receive the gift certificate from Amazon.com, with the amount indicated in the email invite.<br />
<br />
• <i>How will I get the Gift Certificate?</i><br />
<br />
The gift certificate will not come from Datassential but an address from Amazon.com. If you didn't receive the Gift Certificate, it may have landed in your junk folder. Don't forget to add <u><font color="blue"><b>gc-orders@acigiftcards.amazon.com</b></font></u> to your address book to receive your gift certificates directly in your inbox.</td></tr>
