While the other major players are now finishing up their next browser release, a new player has entered the field. A new browser from Indian soil.
Epic Browser
The Epic Browser – never shy in their nomenclature – is based off the Mozilla codebase. This doesn't mean that it's made by the Firefox guys, but rather shares the same open-source back-end; the same foundation. As such, it's an incredibly powerful browser by default, but made into an even more versatile tool by the Epic team – as will be seen below.
The title and the next paragraph highlight an important aspect of the browser; it's made by and for Indians users. That means that some of the features will be rather useless to the rest of us, but Epic is far from useless to the rest of the world. Ignoring these specific features, it's a strong candidate on the international browser market as well.
Fitted to Indian Users
If you're Indian, as we know many of our readers (and actually a fair share of our in-house writers) to be, the Epic Browser will sound even more enticing to you, as it comes packed with a number of India-specific features.
On the left hand side of the screen, you'll find the India sidebar. This is constantly updated with the latest local news from a number of online sources, but also allows you to view flight information, stocks, and much more.
The standard theme of Epic isn't all that, but you can choose from over 1500 alternative themes and wallpapers, all based on India. You can expect themes of nature, architecture, and even famous cricket players.
Last but not least is an Indian usability improvement. The browser recognizes romanized Indian, on any given website, and converts in to Indian.
Sidebar Applications and Add-ons
We already told you that Epic was a powerhouse browser. Most of the extra functionality will be found in the left sidebar. This comes packed with over 1500 different applications. Think Gmail, Facebook, Orkut, Twitter, but also Google Maps, To-do lists, Snippets and Write, an actual word processor.
A couple of applications, like Write, also work in compliance with your Windows desktop. Most prominently are the Explorer-alternative and full-fledged back-up solution.
Because it's based on the Mozilla codebase, you can install any existing Firefox add-ons as well. Separate from the versatile and numerous sidebar applications, that's over 10.000 additional extensions!
Privacy and Security
The Epic team is heavyset on your computer's and personal security. Amongst the sidebar apps, the browser includes a free antivirus application powered by ESET. This allows you to not only scan your downloads, but your entire system as well. With new threats rising every day, you can't be too safe.
With a single click, you can delete personal browsing information, similar to Firefox. It's one of the first browser able to kill the worrisome Flash cookies. Similar to Google Chrome, there's also a private browsing mode, where all history, cookies and cached pages are disabled. Finally, Epic has vowed to never store your browsing or search data. Ever.
Although the design sometimes tends to look premature, the Epic Browser has shown it a strong contestant in the everlasting browser battle. This browser is deemed ready for not just India, but the whole world. Have you had a chance to download this new Mozilla browser and try it yet? Let us know what you think in the comments.

A Surprising Marketing Test & The Results
As email marketers, we're constantly trying and testing new things to optimize our copy, creative and results. Our Director of Lifecycle Marketing, Kim Stiglitz, recently tried a few tactics with an email we send each month to customers that have signed up for our free trial, but haven't activated their account (double opt-in). I wanted to share the results with you because I thought they were pretty interesting and a bit surprising.
The Details
Kim got a list together of all VR customers who have signed up for a free trial, but never activated their online account (we require customers to double opt-in, so this is a necessary step). Kim sent one creative (Version A) in April and one creative in May (Version B). She could've also run a split test which the team often does.
Version A encouraged customers to activate their account, and then offered a discount if they "liked" us on Facebook. Version B didn't offer an incentive and focused solely on encouraging customers to activate their account.
Version A
Version B
The main differences are:
1. The subject line
2. Discount vs. no discount
3. Copy & images
4. Call-to-action buttonBased on what you see, which version do you think performed better? What metrics would you base that on? We looked at three things: the open rate, click through, and of course, how many people on the list actually activated their account.
And the Results…Version B received 32% more opens and clicks. The subject line in Version B compelled more people to open it and the lion's share of the clicks came from the bow around the finger image, the "activate your account" links in the first three lines of the email, and the call-to-action button. What kind of creative and copy testing are you doing? Try shaking things up from time to time and you may be surprised by the results.

3 Responses to A Surprising Marketing Test & The Results
Hi Janine –
thank you, great info! I conjecture that part of the reason that B had better results is the simplicity of the message – you only asked the reader to do one thing. It would not work as well if the reader did not know the company and it's capabilities.
On another note, I think of blogs as really personal – yet I had to click twice to learn your name.
Thanks again! Lisa
Version B had 20% more activations and interestingly enough, the largest % of activations came from accounts that were over a year old!
I'd actually expect this result as far as the performance of the campaign itself…Version A is more of a marketing context, where Version B is more customer service (to which I'd expect better response).
You didn't tell us whether one version or another generated more actual activations. That would be interesting, especially where the special offer was concerned.
The fact that the finger/bow graphic got the most click-throughs is unexpected; we've found in-line links to get the best results for our campaigns, but it would be worth testing more creative graphics.
Thanks for sharing!

Shrinking Takeover Premiums Show Bearish Case in U.S. Stocksby
Takeover targets getting smallest boost to shares since 2007
Acquisition offers shrink as valuations have less room to grow
The biggest wave of takeovers ever to sweep the U.S. is failing to ease investors' anxieties about rising stock valuations.
While a booming market for mergers and acquisitions is often viewed as good
for equities, the impact may be diminishing. Caution can be seen in how much the stocks of takeover targets rise the day after deals are announced. In 2015, the average increase is 16 percent, the smallest gain for any year since 2007, according to data compiled by Bloomberg on deals of at least $200 million. Share price reactions are closely tied with the premium companies are willing to offer, which is also at its lowest since 2007.
Smaller premiums can be construed as a bearish signal on valuations, where even the most motivated purchasers are starting to show reluctance toward lifting stocks too far above current levels. The resistance comes at an ominous time: the Standard & Poor's 500 Index remains near the same level where it began the year just as price-earnings ratios are widening as profits decline.
"We're seeing a record M&A year right now, which is something we observed in 2007, and premiums are lower, which we also saw in 2007," said Marc Zenner, co-head of corporate finance advisory at JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s investment banking unit in New York. "Today M&A is very strategic and there are some pretty important differences between now and then, but based on those two factors you could see a rationale for some kind of correction."
After climbing 1.5 percent in 2015, the S&P 500 is valued at 18.7 times annual profits, compared with 16.6 over the past 10 years. Price-earnings ratios for S&P 500 companies have expanded by almost 70 percent during the bull market that started in 2009, while valuations tied to sales are the highest since just after the dot-com bubble burst in 2000.
The S&P 500 rose 0.1 percent to 2,091.64 at 9:51 a.m. in New York, after rising 3.3 percent last week, the most since last December.
Typically when a deal is announced, few stocks go straight to their takeover price, reflecting everything from regulatory concerns to skepticism about financing. But shares of companies being taken over are also posting smaller gains as the offering prices tend to shrink when shares are already high. The average takeover premium this year is 28 percent, the smallest since 2007, when it was 23 percent. The highest spread in the past decade was an average of 41 percent, reached in 2009.
"In the past 12 to 18 months M&A has really ramped up, so then it becomes a question of whether the acquirers are being as aggressive and setting high acquisition prices," Kevin Mahn, president of Parsippany, New Jersey-based Hennion & Walsh Asset Management Inc., said in a phone interview. "The market is fairly valued or somewhat overvalued. They don't have to be quite as aggressive so the prices don't have to be as high."
A merger between Willis Group Holdings Plc and Towers Watson & Co. in June resulted in a 3.3 percent boost to Willis Group's stock, while Towers Watson's slid 9 percent on the day. The two traded at multiples as high as 22.8 and 26.2, respectively, in the week prior to the announcement. In the case of Hyperion Therapeutics Inc., the shares had already rallied 85 percent in the three months before Horizon Pharma Plc announced a purchase in March, leading to a 7.6 percent jump in Hyperion's shares.
In July, Centene Corp. announced it would buy Health Net Inc. in a cash and stock deal valuing the company 21 percent above its trading price at the time. Health Net's gain was just 10 percent, while the average move among takeover stocks in 2015 has been 16 percent. That's down from 19 percent last year. In 2011, target companies got a single-day boost of 23 percent on average.
"After you've had a market up for quite awhile here companies should be logical in terms of what they're willing to pay," said Larry Pitkowsky, co-founder and co-managing partner at Goodhaven Capital Management LLC, where he oversees $450 million. "It doesn't mean bad deals are done but by a whole host of traditional valuation metrics stock prices look on the high side of fair value."
Press coverage of possible deals before an actual announcement can also narrow the potential for share gains. Even so, target company moves following such media reports are the smallest since at least 2011, according to Bloomberg data. In June, a report that Anthem Inc. would bid for Cigna Corp. sent the stock up 12 percent, elevating the price to 21 times earnings. When the official bid was announced a month later, Cigna shares fell 5.6 percent and have dropped another 9.3 percent since.
St. Jude Medical Inc., which traded at a price-earnings ratio as high as 19 in the week before an Aug. 27 report of a potential buyout by Abbott Laboratories, rose as much as 5.8 percent on the news before paring the gain to 4.5 percent after the companies said no deal was imminent. Strategic Hotels & Resorts Inc. jumped 3.5 percent in July after reports it was seeking a sale -- in September, the company agreed to a buyout by Blackstone Group LP at a 3.4 percent premium to its 30-day average price.
Reactions this year have been muted in the acquiring company's shares as well. Acquirers are posting an average gain of 0.5 percent the day after a deal is announced, compared with a 1 percent gain in 2014, the highest on record, according to Bloomberg data going back to 2007.
None of this means acquirers are backing away from the U.S. stock market. With 8,751 deals announced this year worth $2.4 trillion, 2015 is on pace for the biggest year for transactions on record, according to Bloomberg data going back to 2003. That partly reflects a spate of large deals, including Charter Communications Inc.'s $55.1 billion acquisition of Time Warner Cable Inc. On Monday, Pfizer Inc. agreed to combine with Allergan Plc for a deal valued at $160 billion. Both shares fell at least 2.6 percent.
"It's hard to generalize what can affect how a stock jumps," Keith Moore, an event-driven strategist at FBN Securities Inc. in New York, said by phone. "These days a lot of companies announce strategic review processes which ultimately lead to a deal being announced, or people leak information to the media and you get the market effect."
Share price reactions in targeted companies can also be affected by the likelihood of a competing offer at a higher price. With credit spreads widening and an interest rate hike nearing, the potential for competing bids to lift share prices could fade, according to Scott Houlihan, a merger-arbitrage research analyst at OTA LLC.
"With interest rates going up, there could be a slowdown in the credit cycle that would affect all this too," Houlihan said in a phone interview from Purchase, New York. "If a stock's jumping after an announcement because they think there's another bidder out there and now it's not so easy for someone to finance a counter-bid, the whole M&A cycle could be getting extended."

Welcome To Ascent Physical Therapy
What Is Physical Therapy?
Physical Therapy is unique in that it capitalizes on your body's ability to heal and enhance that process with functional interventions that lead to faster recovery and reduced rates of re-injury. Our methods use your own abilities, background, and interests to design rehabilitation programs that are specific to you; because no two people and no two injuries are the same. We are a little different than what you might have experienced as physical therapy in the past because of our primary focus on movement and use of modalities as a supportive role. Why do we do this? Simple, because that is what the research tells us gives the greatest results.
How We Do It.
Building a platform of functional movement will keep you in motion no matter what your goals may be: musician, programmer, athlete, student, or weekend warrior. Our Physical Therapy is a blend of medical professional, scientist, coach, and engineer. We understand not only the mechanics of human movement but the processes that allow your body to heal and express its full potential. Expect your provider to help you develop injury prevention strategies and to break out of the rut of "injury, rest, and repeat." Let us help you kick that "bum" knee, "bad back" or"weak ankles".
Whether you have injured yourself at work, play, in a car accident, are plagued by an old high school injury or can't seem to push past that limit in your training; we have tools that will get you back up to speed.
The Functional University
We enjoy taking time to educate our patients on current trends in Physical Therapy and general wellness. Current research and clinical practice supports the use of Physical Therapy to restore function following an injury, improve outcomes after surgery, and enhance performance when barriers limit your abilities. We have created a clinic where research and experience drive clinical decision making and improve patient experience. Part of that is teaching our patients how to keep themselves healthy and resolve aches and pains. Don't live in Happy Valley? Don't worry, "Functional U" has a strong online program.

I have already won tons of awards and my foster Dad says it's a great way for me to burn off extra energy and have a sense of purpose. Everyone needs a sense of purpose, right?!?
I live with a trainer, so I work on obedience in my everyday life. I'd love for my new family to learn what I know so we can keep this up. My foster Dad has even offered training for my new family to help to make the transition to my new home easier for everyone!

Objectives: To perform a national analysis of the perioperative outcome of major head and neck cancer surgery to develop a stratification strategy and outcomes assessment framework using hospital administrative data. Design: A Hospital Episode Statistics N = near-all analysis. Settings: The English National Health Service. Main outcome measures: Local audit data were used to assess and triangulate the quality of the administrative dataset. Within the national dataset, cancer sites, morbidities, social deprivation, treatment, complications, and in-hospital mortality were recorded. Results: Within local audit datasets, the accuracy of assigning newly-derived Cancer Site Strata and Resection Strata were 92.3% and 94.2%, respectively. Accuracy of morbidities assignment was 97%. Within the national dataset, we identified 17 623 major head and neck cancer resections between 2002 and 2012. There were 12 413 males and mean age at surgery was 63 ± 12 years. The commonest cancer site strata were oral cavity (42%) and larynx-hypopharynx (32%). The commonest resection site was the larynx (n = 4217), and 13 211 and 11 841 patients had neck dissection and flap-based reconstruction, respectively. There were prognostically significant baseline differences between patients with oromandibular and pharyngolaryngeal malignancy. Patients with pharyngolaryngeal malignancies had a greater burden of morbidities, lower socio-economic status, fewer primary resections, and a sixfold increased risk of undergoing their major resection during an emergency hospital admission. Mean length of stay was 25 days and each complication linearly increased it by 9.6 days. There were 609 (3.5%) in-hospital deaths and a basket of seven medical and three surgical complications significantly increased the risk of in-hospital death. At least one potentially lethal complication occurred in 26% of patients. The risk of in-hospital death in a patient with no potentially lethal complication was 1.1% and this increased to 6% with one potentially lethal complication, and to 15.1% if two potentially lethal complications occurred in one patient. Complex oral-pharyngeal resections and pharyngolaryngectomies had the highest risks of complications and mortality. Conclusion: Mortality following head and neck cancer surgery shows variation across different resection strata. We propose an Informatics-based Framework for Outcomes Surveillance (IFOS) in Head and Neck Surgery for perpetual quality assurance, using the local hospital coding data or its collated destination, the national administrative dataset. © 2016 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Home > Press > Commencement 2007: Engineering a Sustainable Future
As an Eagle Scout, it is no surprise that Gregory Ten Eyck would be an innovator with a deep respect for the environment. But he has taken these values to a whole new level, developing inventions that could lead to better fuel cells, reduce the impacts of carbon dioxide, and create the next generation of super-efficient microelectronics.
Ten Eyck will receive a Ph.D. in electrical engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's 201st Commencement on May 19.
The son of an Air Force officer, Ten Eyck spent his early childhood moving around the country. His family eventually settled in Maryland, where he went through junior and senior high school.
It seems that Ten Eyck was born to be an electrical engineer. His family, including an older brother and two older step-sisters, always looked to him to fix everything from the VCR to the microwave. He recalls being the family's go-to guy on anything electronic, and he still gets late-night calls for computer tech support.
He earned his bachelor's in electrical engineering from Virginia Tech, and then co-founded a company that built photonic and micromachined components. The company would grow to include more than 225 employees. After this experience, Ten Eyck decided to pursue his Ph.D. and was accepted to Rensselaer in 2003.
While at Rensselaer, Ten Eyck became a Graduate Assistant in Areas of National Need (GAANN) fellow. This prestigious fellowship through the U.S. Department of Education has paid for his entire graduate education and given him the freedom to pursue his own research. He also was a fellow in Rensselaer's Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) program in terahertz research, which is funded by the National Science Foundation. Both programs are managed by Gwo-Ching Wang, professor and chair of physics, applied physics, and astronomy. Ten Eyck worked closely with Wang during his time at Rensselaer, along with his primary research advisor Toh-Ming Lu, the R.P. Baker Distinguished Professor of Physics.
Ten Eyck's research focuses on the deposition of extremely thin metal films. He has invented three methods that could have broad implications for the next generation of microelectronics, as well as applications in energy and the environment. His innovations made him a finalist for Rensselaer's first-ever Lemelson-Rensselaer Student Prize and have earned him the respect of researchers in his field and in industry.
First, Ten Eyck developed a method to deposit metals on polymers. This application of atomic layer deposition (ALD) has been envisioned by scientists for years as a way to improve circuit function and reduce circuit size, but it has never been accomplished. Ten Eyck's ALD process could enable industry to create devices that were thought to be years in the future.
Using his expertise in metal ALD, Ten Eyck also learned to create large metal surfaces with thin, uniform layers of metal over a porous insulating material to create a highly efficient energy storing surface. He then took this invention a big step further, creating a surface that could combine carbon dioxide with hydrogen to form methane gas at room temperature.
Such a conversion normally requires temperatures upward of 300 degrees Celsius. This key breakthrough has the potential to transform greenhouse gases into useful natural gas. The process could allow for the production of new energy storage devices and conversion technologies such as fuel cells.
Finally, Ten Eyck has envisioned a novel way of connecting circuits that greatly reduces the size of the circuit and can improve device performance. In order to keep making smaller electronics, manufacturers need smaller integrated circuits. One method to reduce circuit size is to stack circuits vertically and solder the interface to connect them electrically. The problem to date with this process is that the welding requires high temperatures or a mixing of metals that can damage circuit performance.
Ten Eyck and fellow graduate students have created a nano-welding process that welds at a reduced temperature. This advance will allow manufactures to use highly efficient, pure metals (like copper) rather than metals that have a lower melting point (like lead) and negative environmental impacts.
Ten Eyck plans to pursue a career with a government or private industry laboratory, helping to create the next wave of sustainable technologies and innovative electronics.

The aggregation equilibrium of a series of positively-charged water-soluble phthalocyanines (Pcs) was studied in aqueous solution by means of absorption and fluorescence techniques. The aggregation equilibrium in water depends on the bridging atoms between the pyridyl groups and the Pc core, and on the central metal of the Pcs, while N-alkyl groups are virtually uninvolved in the aggregation properties. Thus, in the water-methanol mixture, the aggregation tendency increased in the order of Zn < Cu ≤ Ni, Pd when the ligand is the same, while the bridging element sulfur gives much more propensity for aggregation compared to oxygen. The fluorescence quantum yields of the Pcs showed an excellent correlation with the extent of aggregation. © 2014 the Partner Organisations. Source

One of the reasons I find OneDesk unique is that it focuses on the front end more than a PLM system, but also provides more execution capabilities than most idea management software. In this way, it defies some of the traditional systems boundaries.

I been a customer for a week and the user sign up is very flacky at best. My users can sign up to submit a ticket so it's been pretty much useless at this point. I have mentioned this several times and submitted tickets to the company's helpdesk. They seem to get back but always ends up as they are looking into the issue and they close out the ticket like it's fixed. One week later I still having issues.

Letter sent to Idaho paper concerning murder-suicide
Re: Idaho doctors can offer a compassionate option, June 25, 2010
Dear Editor:
I am the Executive Director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, and Chair for the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, International. I was dismayed to see that Kathryn Tucker, Legal Director for the suicide lobby group, Compassion & Choices, is now targeting your state to legalize assisted suicide. Moreover, her column, suggesting that legalization will prevent murder-suicide, is spurious.
According to Donna Cohen, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences, the typical murder-suicide case involves a depressed controlling husband who shoots his ill wife. "The wife does not want to die and is often shot in her sleep. If she was awake at the time, there are usually signs that she tried to defend herself." http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=50782
The typical wife in these cases does not "choose" her death. She is a victim of spousal abuse. Legal assisted suicide, regardless, fails to guarantee "choice." These laws instead empower doctors, family members and new "best friends" to legally pressure people to take their lives. http://wsba.org/media/publications/barnews/jul-09+deathwithdignity.htm
In Canada, a bill that would have legalized assisted-suicide was recently defeated in our Parliament, 228 to 59. When I spoke with lawmakers who voted against the bill, many voiced the opinion that our government's efforts should be focused on helping our citizens live with dignity, rather than developing strategies to get them out of the way.

1 comment:
We should respect the individual's right to refuse treatment or to forbid life-support systems by a prior directive and to be allowed to die.
Otherwise, any attempt to legalize assisted-suicide opens the door for elder/disabled abuse and future legislation that would deny our individual rights and the freedom of many.
The promotion of assisted-suicide "is part of a broader movement for human rights and social justice", according to Compassion & Choices; which is a progressive organization with roots in the 1930's progressive-eugenics movement in America. Just Google it! It is a tired old foundation of a humanistic-religious doctrine that in the 40's both the extreme left (Communism/Socialism) and right (Fascism) demonstrated the progressive-humanistic-religious doctrine of disposal and de-personhood with social justice, all for the "good of the collective or State".
Social justice is the government imposing on the individual. Equal justice is the individual limiting the government.
Let us stand firm on equal justice under the law and not allow the government a means to void our individual rights. All the while we should continue to apply the Gospel to situations of suffering and depression as opportunities to help, encourage and provide hope.

Rilo Kiley
In a sense, More Adventurous is what Rilo Kiley has been building toward since the rickety country licks of 2001's Take Offs and Landings and the sugar-spun indie-pop heartbreak of 2002's The Execution of All Things. The L.A. band's first disc on its own imprint is a startling modernization of torch and twang, amped up to eleven by rock-riffing, lush production, and twinkling orchestration.
Anchored by Jenny Lewis's clear-as-a-bell sweetness, "I Never" starts with gooey strings and Patsy Cline cooing, and ends in a raucous guitar solo that screams vintage Boston. "It's a Hit" adds a shower of jaunty horns to its dusty twang, and guitarist-vocalist Blake Sennett's own composition, "Ripchord," is the soundtrack to a lo-fi luau.
But not everything here takes its cue from country greats. Highlights such as "Portions for Foxes" and the New Pornographers-style "Love and War (11/11/46)" flex their new-wave power-pop muscles, while Dntel's Jimmy Tamborello infuses "Accidntel Deth" with heartbeat bloops and jerky robot rhythms. Sure, Rilo Kiley's genre-splicing occasionally makes More Adventurous feel a bit crowded and jumbled, but the bigger, brighter sound hasn't diminished the quirky heart that makes this band deserving of great things.

My DS does great once we leave the house, but the transitions are SUPER hard. When its time to get dressed, I have to chase him around the house to get him dressed. Shoes/socks are the same way. Even when he wants to go. Staying home isn't an option all the time, and he really needs outdoor exercise to use up all his 3yo energy.
He's also super argumentative, highly social, and completely charming and wonderful to everyone other than me.
We have a similar problem. DS needs to get out, but doesn't usually want to. I have found that if I just start doing things outside, he'll want to join me, get motivated to get dressed, get shoes one, etc. Like, for example, this morning I was taking out the recycling, and he wanted to help. Given how cold it is, he had to get clothes, shoes, and coat on, all of which he did very quickly and without any fuss. Of course, I'm not saying leave him inside and go by yourself outside, but come in and out, doing little "errands" outside, and he'll maybe want to follow you... Just a thought!
Mama to
DS1 (6) , DS2 (3) , DD is here!
Have you tried setting a timer? The timer works remarkably well for my kids. I set the timer for say 5 minutes and tell them "when the timer beeps, it'll be time to get dressed." That both gives them a warning (especially important for my daughter, who transitions slowly and reluctantly), and it makes a "neutral" party telling them it's time. We use the timer for all sorts of things (reminding me to start cooking dinner, reminding dh to leave) so that it's pretty much an equal opportunity reminder, not just one for kids.
Another thought is that this is a perfect time to invoke some playful techniques. Playing chase with mom is really really fun. So, use it to your advantage - "when you get your pants and shirt on, I'll chase you one time through the house." "when we get your socks and shoes on, I'll chase you out the door/to the car." That way he gets positive attention, but in a way that you can have a bit more control over.
I think my kids were about this age when I introduced them to the concept of "kid time" and "parent time". Some things can be done on "kid time" -- so if it takes us 30 minutes to walk to the park, oh well. Other things have to be done on "mommy time" -- getting ready to go to daycare (and now school), has to be done on our schedule, not theirs. I don't know how much they understood of this at age 3, but it did help give them a sense of power. They knew that sometimes they were in control. (Now that I think about it, I think we did this at age 4, when the power struggles were pretty big.)

USA TODAY's resident nerd, Brian Truitt, revealed the first image from Marvel's upcoming superhero flick, Ant-Man.
This is exciting! The film, which is slated for a July 2015 release, is finally in production! It's Paul Rudd as a superhero! But what does this photo show us?
I asked Brian Truitt, because I always do. (Sorry, Brian. I know you're busy.)
Here's what he said about the photo:
"He's a crook. He's a thief. That picture shows a lot: He's unshaven, he looks like someone just popped him in the face... he looks very down on his luck."
So the photo seems to reveal, as comic-book fans know, Ant-Man is not a 100%-good guy.
This is the first time we've seen someone in the Marvel cinematic universe who's not exactly a bad guy, but not exactly a good guy, either.
Quick background: Ant-Man is so named because of powers given to him by Dr. Hank Pym, played by Michael Douglas in the movie.
"He can shrink really, really small, because of Hank Pym's technology. But his strength increases."
Also, Ant-Man sometimes rides on ants, which is cool. And he might end up a mostly good guy. Brian guesses that the image we're looking at is from early on in the film.
"He goes from being a criminal to... maybe even being an Avenger down the line."
DUN DUN dunnnn!

QS Meetup Groups
Friends of QS
We recently started a program to invite QS Toolmakers to contribute directly to funding our events. We call this program Friends of QS. If you would like to participate we invite you email us to learn more.
The emergence of self-tracking tools that came with the advent of the smartphone was a boon for people like Shannon Conners, who have long been recording their personal data with pen and paper. Her workout and food journals date back to her high school years.
Not content to let her data be incomplete, she has used novel sources for filling out her data sets, like going through her baby books for weight check-ins. Having a picture of her data that is comprehensive gives her a unique view. By adding annotations of major life events, she can see the vicissitudes of life reflected in her data.
Looking at her data side by side in JMP, her tool of choice, she sees how one affects the other. She determined that her cholesterol levels moved in the same direction as her weight, demonstrating to her that managing weight can be a good "surrogate variable" for keeping other biomarkers in check.
Her story may inspire you to increase your self-tracking diligence (it has for me). It has already inspired people around her. Her mother and sisters, after seeing her results with managing her weight, asked for Shannon's coaching on how they can use self-tracking to help themselves. This is the value of sharing one's methods: it can inspire others to change their ways of living and being.
The charts in this talk are fantastic, but they go by so quickly that I wanted to share them here so you can take them in. It should be no surprise that Shannon was featured in our QS Visualization Gallery and interviewed for the QS Radio podcast. You can keep up with Shannon on her blog, where she writes about her methods and what she's learning.
A short list this week. Enjoy!
How Networks Bring Down Experts by Max Borders. Max gets double points for this great piece on using networks and peer-to-peer learning for developing personal expertise. Loved the reference to the writing of Michael Polanyi.

In our first episode of QS Radio we hit the ground running with a great pair of interviews and some super interesting news and discussion about exciting self-tracking projects.
In our show&tell segment, we hear from Shannon Conners, a self-tracking enthusiast who's been learning amazing things from tracking her diet, exercise, and weight for over four years. Jessica Richman, CEO and co-founder of uBiome, joins us for a short Toolmaker Talk where we learn about the importance of the microbiome and citizen science. To wrap up, Ernesto and Steven share a few interesting tech and self-tracking stories in a segment we call "What We're Reading."
We hope you enjoy this inaugural episode. Make sure to check the show notes below for links to items we discussed.

What We're Reading
Siva Raj was interested in lowering his blood pressure. With a family history of cardiovascular disease and heart attacks he was worried about slightly elevated blood pressure (pre-hypertension). As someone engaged with understanding and building fitness applications he thought he would be able to lower his blood pressure by staying on track with a regular exercise program that focused on cycling. Interestingly his blood pressure measurement didn't respond to his constant exercise or weight loss. After reading more research literature about the link between fitness and cardiovascular health Siva decided to change his training to improve his fitness. He decided to incorporate a increased intensity into his routine. After a short period of time he had increases in this fitness and was able to observe the reduction in blood pressure he was looking for. In the video below, filmed at the Boston QS meetup group, Siva explains his methods and talks about how he was able to track his body's response to different fitness routines.
One interesting aspect of personal data is how it can reveal what is unique about you. Nowhere is this more true than with genetic information coming from DNA testing kits. However, people are still at an early stage on how they apply that information to their lives. Ralph Pethica, who has a PhD in genetics, was interested in what his DNA could tell him about how to train more effectively. His findings were presented as an ignite talk at the 2014 QS Europe Conference.
What did Ralph do?
Ralph loves to surf. When it is the off-season, he trains so that his body will be in good condition for when the warm weather rolls back around. He used genetic research to inform how he designed his training plans.
How did Ralph do it?
Ralph used a 23andMe kit to find out his genetic profile. He researched those genes that have been found to have an impact on fitness to see his body should respond to exercise. For example, did he possess genes that gave him an advantage in building muscle with resistance training? He then modified his training routines to take advantage of this information and monitored his results (using the Polar watch and a Withings scale) to see whether his assumptions held up.
What did Ralph learn?
Ralph found out that he has genetic disadvantages when it came to strength training. This told him that progress in this area depended more on his lifestyle. In particular, he found that eating immediately after working out was important.
When it came to cardio exercise, he had a number of genetic advantages. The unexpected downside to this is that his body adapts quickly to any training regimen, resulting in a plateau. To get around this, he varied his training plan and monitored his results. On one day, he would cycle at a steady rate, while the next, he would use high-intensity intervals. His body seemed to respond to the varied training plan and he hit fewer plateaus. Without knowing which genes he possessed, and reading current research on those genes, it is unlikely that he would have discovered these effective customizations to his training plan.
Ralph has taken what he's learned and built a tool called Genetrainer to help people use their genetic information to inform their fitness plains. You can check it out here.
Tools: Genetrainer, 23andMe, Polar RCX5, Withings Smart Body Analyzer
We hope you enjoy this weeks list. Feel free to submit articles, show&tell self-tracking stories, and QS data visualizations. Just email me!
Why can't you track periods in Apple's Health app? by Nat Buckley. With the recent re-release of Apple's HealthKit enabled self-tracking and personal data system it no wonder that people are taking a long hard look at what data is being excluded. With the popularity of menstruation tracking apps (this app has nearly 30,000 ratings) it's surprising this was overlooked. This excellent post is a must read on the topic.
Now That Cars Have Black Boxes, Am I Being Tracked? by Popular Science Editors. Questions and concerns about surveillance are becoming more commonplace. As someone who is looking to purchase a car in the next year or so I was happy to see this post come across my stream.
The Quantified Self community, lifelogging and the making of "smart" publics by Aristea Fotopoulou. I love it when people take a thoughtful look at the Quantified Self community and write about their experiences:
For me, the potential of QS for public participation lies in the show and tell meet-ups that constitute a central feature of this community. Meet-ups enable the exchange of stories about the success or failure of lifelogging practices; they allow people to connect and form synergies around common interests, and to explore wider questions such as personal data management and ownership. [...] members touch upon key political issues and create temporary spaces of dialogue: what happens to personal data, who has access to these data (is it private individuals, governments or corporations)? For what purposes (medical research)? And how can these data be interpreted (by algorithms, visualisations) and used to tell stories about people?
Stepping Down: Rethinking the Fitness Tracker by Sara M. Watson. Sara uses her personal journey of recovery from hip surgery to frame an interesting question: Should we trust our fitness trackers to prescribe movement goals?
Practical Statistical Modeling: The Dreaded After-School Carpool Pickup by Jamie Todd Rubin. Jamie wanted to understand if there was a way he could reduce how much time he spent waiting in line to pick up his son from school. Why not track it and model it!
Bulletproof Diet and Intermittent Fasting: 1.5 Year Results by Bob Troia. Bob takes a deep dive into his data to see if this particular diet is having beneficial health effects. Click for the great data, stay for the wonderful discussion and very, very thorough write-up.
Quotidian Record by Brian House. I've been a fan of Brian House since his early days visualizing Fitbit data. I was reminded of this work during a conversation about geolocation data and thought it would be a nice addition to our visualization list.
Visualizing My Daily Self-Management by Katie McCurdy.
What does my daily medication and self-management look like? How could I visualize this regimen? How can I communicate the 'burden' and work of caring for myself?
I decided to draw pictures of the things that I need to do on a daily basis; that way I could show the workshop attendees what my day was like instead of just telling them.
It's Time to Eat by Karl Krehbiel. Karl, a data science intern at Jawbone used the data from their global community of users the determine the likelihood of food and drink consumption during the day. Really fun and interesting visualizations here.

Five Years of Weight Tracking
What Disclaimer should I use when making my personal #quantifiedself data public?
How will children respond to a world where personal data is ubiquitous? Bill Schuller is starting to find out with his two young children and will be sharing his story at the upcoming 2013 Quantified Self Global Conference.
Bill started tracking his exercise and weight in 2010. His preschool-aged son, listening to his father talk about his daily metrics at the dinner table, began to imitate Bill's tracking behavior, regularly stepping on the scale, not to watch his weight, but to "just check my numbers." Bill then designed tracking games for him and his son. One of them involved putting things away in the house while tracking steps and gaining "clean-up points."
This fun talk will feature more stories on the creative ways Bill and his children are playing with self-tracking. As a preview, we have a version of the talk that he gave in San Diego in March 2012. Watch the video and then find out at the conference what further data adventures Bill has had with his kids in the last year and a half.
The Quantified Self Global Conference will be held in San Francisco on October 10th and 11th. Registration is now open. As with all of our conferences, our speakers are members of the community. We hope to see you there!
Bill Schuller started tracking his exercise and weight in 2010, and got into the habit of talking about his numbers each night at the dinner table. Before long, his kids got interested in tracking too. In the video below, Bill talks about what he learned and tells some fun stories, including one about a tracking game he made up with his five-year-old son to clean up the house while his wife was away for the weekend. (Filmed by the San Diego QS Show&Tell meetup group.)

Andy Leigh wanted to row around the world from his bedroom. Why? To lose weight and to do some kind of project with the open source hardware Arduino. He chose rowing because it's a low-impact activity that he can do with his injury. But manual tracking in a spreadsheet was too cumbersome. In the video below, Andy walks through his hardware hacking in fascinating detail, and reveals his route around the world, which he is plotting on a Google map as he goes. (Filmed by the London QS Show&Tell meetup group.)
Rob Portil is sixty-six years old and has been overweight twice in his life. He's been using FitBit for the past four months, and has reached his target weight. In the video below, he describes how he experiences the daily tracking, how his sweetheart experiences it differently, which Four Hour Body workouts he does, and some key eating tricks he learned along the way. (Filmed by the Bay Area QS Show&Tell meetup group.)

Injured Burton could feature in BBC documentary
WAYNE BURTON, who suffered a serious spinal injury ina fall at Exeter in early March, could be included in a TV documentary series the BBC is making about bravery and people overcoming difficult circumstances in their lives.
The producers are still at the early planning stage, but they have already contacted the conditional jockey and intend meeting him again later this week to learn more about his condition before deciding which inspirational stories to feature from the wealth of material at their disposal.
They will find Burton in good form having recently left the International Spinal Injuries and Rehabilitation Centre at the Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital and now settling with his girlfriend, Laura Bicknell, a groom with Richard Hannon, into the ground floor flat he has bought in Hungerford, Berkshire, after being helped by the Injured Jockeys' Fund.
"I am still in a wheelchair, but I do everything for myself now independently," said the 25-year-old who is next due to see his consultant in three months.
"I'm a lot better than I was. I'm more awareof everything now and at the end of the day I've got to get on with it. I am getting a lot of sensations inside my body, which surprises the doctors, but that is a good thing, and you have got to keep going. Sometimes I can movemy feet and leg, but I don't know whether it is really late messages.
Burton, who has been to Newton Abbot to see his younger brother, Danny, ride, was keen to express thanks for the assistance he continues to receive, and the fund-raising events organised on his behalf.
He added: "I am very grateful for everything people have done to help me and it really is appreciated."
"In six months, I think the progress I have made has been a great achievement, and hopefully it will continue."

Sea Otter Classic By Curran:
I won both days. The first race was a 90-min circuit on the seca race course with a 2.5 min hill with sections hitting 10+ percent. I attacked after a few laps to see what would transpire but nothing happened. Tyler Schwartz, a teammate, and I did a brilliant set up; jumping off the front for a few seconds, and bringing up the pace for a bit. I jumped very hard over the top and formed a break of 9 (50 started). I rolled with them, then punched it, going for it all with 3 to go; got a gap, then dug deep to hold off the chase by 22 seconds.
Road Race: 8 mi. loop with a hard-hitting climb, then some rollers, and feed zone climb with a steep drag. Including a sustained series of 5 rollers to the finish. After 4 laps we did a 2 mi. summit finish climb hitting a 13% grade. I sat-in until the second lap when I attacked hard on the main climb and formed a group of about 15-20 riders. A guy rolled off and gained around 50 seconds, but was caught sometime later. I sat-in on the climb during the 3rd lap but attacked with ferocity over the steep feed zone drag. We formed a group of four, but we were caught a few miles later at the base of the main climb. A specialized guy immediately rolled off, and I countered and dropped all but one guy, who had gotten second the previous day. We worked and got a gap of about one minute heading into he summit finish. We tempoed the lower slopes. I thank the "wall" at live oak for the finish. We started to mark each other and slowed down/track stand at 500 to go. Then I made a Philipe Gilbert/Purito Rodriguez move and popped my competitor in a sprint from 180 meters out.
This was a huge junior race; riders came from the East Coast, Idaho, and all over, as well as many of the Southern California riders.
