As David Corn restrainedly put it in his careful investigative piece in the Nation, Safire was "more intent on manipulating than interpreting the available information" and "his commitment to scoring political points exceeds his commitment to the truth".
Mr. Denis, who was born in Washington Heights of Puerto Rican parents, said that as an editorial writer he met many elected officials "lacking in information and real commitment to public service".
The results suggest that customization to the user, relevant and contextualised information and feedback, commitment, and appealing design are important aspects when influencing users to behaviour change through smartphone applications.

This is exemplified by meetings which provide appropriate information and interactive commitment.

Our approach, combining both tailored information and public commitment, is based on the assumption of voluntary behavior change.
We expected that especially the combination of tailored information and public commitment would result in stronger motivation to engage in conservation practices and more/better conservation practices.
In this paper we have seen that an intervention strategy containing tailored information and public commitment making can improve conservation practices.
