2 Practical Tips to Combine Usability and Web Analytics
Web analytics is a strange hybrid of a field - it used to sit with IT in the early days, back when tracking "hits" for success was a thing. (for our younger audience - a 'hit' is an individual element load, so one page view for a page with dozens of elements can be 70 hits. It was a very sad time in web analytics)
Then it sat with whichever part of marketing is also handling search engine optimization - this made more sense than IT, because those types of marketers can actually act on the data. And indeed, many of companies still structure teams that way today - driving organic traffic to web sites remains one of the core duties of digital teams, and there is a natural synergy between SEO and web analytics.
That structure is effective, but limited. There are two searches that really demonstrate why:
Google Trends shows user experience searches picking up.
Since 2005, user experience and usability have started becoming as important to some companies as getting traffic from search engines. That's something companies are continuing to balance today, but it's not nearly as lopsided as it was 10 years ago. If you think about it as the online optimization model of acquisition, conversion, and retention, SEO is the first stage, and usability/conversions are the latter two:
Like SEO teams, usability and user experience teams have a natural synergy with web analytics too - UX improvements are only ever real if they show observable benefits to the business or to the user. Regardless of where you run web analytics from, web analytics should have just as much weight in solving for usability and conversion issues as it does with search-related ones.
Here are some practical ways to combine old school usability and conversion tweaks with analytics fundamentals:
Split Testing Scarcity and Menu Recognition
Scarcity is something that we've covered in the past.
- Used truthfully and sparingly, it can lead to a nice boost in conversions, and accurate messaging for the user.
- Abused, it can lead to distrust, and have visitors check your competitors instead.
In the early days, using scarcity was as obvious as making sure your buttons are recognizable as buttons, (ensuring your site has visual affordance) but now that it is a pretty common play, you might want to check if you're getting your conversion returns for a scarcity play.
Menu recognition is also something that we tend to cover. To use the interface design parlance, having too much "chrome" or menus can eat up too much space on limited screen real estate, especially for smart phones. Too little chrome, though, and your site's usability take a huge hit, with users unable to interact with your content.
For both scenarios, the split test is your friend. For the uninitiated, split tests allow you to take two versions of a page, serve them up to users for the same, and see which one achieves your goals better. Free tools like Google Analytics allow you to do this pretty quickly.
For scarcity, this means you could have versions with the time left on the offer stated and unstated, to see if scarcity is actually helping you sell more. For chrome recognition, you can check if you're achieving the right balance on for both desktops and laptops by having a version with more obvious menus versus one where the menus are more subtle.
In both cases, there's a practical analytics process to check for usability and conversion gains.
Bounce Rate Segmentation for Sources and Depth
Usability is rarely a clear-cut thing to observe for most sites - even when there are great metrics to observe the site with. Bounce rate is right up there with conversions and profits as one of the key metrics to watch, but even bounce rate can be misleading.
For bounce rate to be effective, it has to be used in context. There are two great groupings to start with: traffic sources, and depth.
Traffic Sources
One of the first things you should be doing when you're setting up your analytics tool is setting up filters or segments for where your traffic is coming from. You can have more, but you should have at least three groups - people going to your site coming from search engines, other web sites, or social networks.
The idea is that if your bounce rate is high for people coming in from social networks, you're fine. The tasks they are coming to your site for should not have a ton of intent associated with the click- they are there to satisfy a curiosity. If your bounce rate is high for people coming in from other sites, you're not as fine, but you're still not in that much trouble, usability-wise. The link from other web sites is a nice vote of confidence, but the tasks may not match.
If your bounce rate for organic searches is high, it's time to research where you have serious usability issues. Searches come with a lot of intent, and a high bounce rate for organic traffic indicates you're not fulfilling user tasks - you need to find the searches and areas where this happens the most, (this is doable, but not a trivial task given not provided) then fix the leaky bucket.
Depth or Area
Lowering bounce rate seems like a really romantic thing, at least as romantic as it gets in the online marketing world: fighting for that second click.
But the truth is that that second click is not always valuable.
- If you have a product page, visitors may get to that and find the specifications they need for a support question - even if they don't click on anything else, you just solved a self-support issue. Same thing for FAQ pages.
- Even for top of the funnel type activities, bounce rate may not be a bad thing - many blogs, including this one, allow you to read the entire entry without ever clicking on anything after that first click from Google or Bing. If the visitor consumes the information and finds it valuable, that's a win - although on your analytics tool, that still counts as a bounce.
Bounces are really bad if they indicate that a user gives up on navigating your site - and you can segment this. If visitors bounce when they view your home page, or a high level page intended for navigation, then you have usability issues.
Analytics and Usability Play Well Together
Analytics is a critical piece of the puzzle, whether the team managing web analytics sits with your IT, SEO, business intelligence, or usability teams. If you are working with a usability or a conversion team, it's definitely a specialization you need to develop.

SHTF, BOB, TEOTWAWKI… Whether you embrace the shorthand or not, the fact remains that there is a lot of it out there. It has almost evolved into an exclusive language where you can hold a whole conversation without using layman's terms. I'm pretty used to this myself, there were plenty of TLAs (Three letter acronyms) in the military to get up to speed on fast. While the prepping acronyms may be annoying to the newcomer, you have to admit that it does speed up the dialogue, if only a little. Some of them do seem like they are long acronyms just to be long, like TEOTWAWKI. Even still, it pays to be on the side that knows what it means rather than the side that doesn't.
The article below breaks down 50+ acronyms used in the prepping community. Feel free to add more to the list by commenting or joining the discussion on Facebook. Check out the common survival acronyms here:

TYLER (KYTX) - Who wouldn't want to take a chance to win $600 million, or even a fraction of that?
The Powerball jackpot is expected to hit that number before the drawing Saturday night.
And it's drawing attention from people across the country.
It's safe to say some people are truly getting behind the idea of winning big.
In fact, at one store where we stopped, the clerk says a man bought $200 worth of tickets.
But, what are the odds you'll win?
"Infrequent player," says Lena Bowen.
Bowen says she isn't a gambler, but when she saw what was at stake for the Powerball jackpot this week, she couldn't pass up the opportunity on her way home from work.
"I decided to take a chance and see what happens," says Bowen.
And the players lining up are all skill levels.
"I just started last week, I don't even know how to play," says Saduman Ozturk.
"Usually come get a quick pick and be done with it," says Andre Taylor.
Some people say there's a real method to choosing your numbers, whether it be kids birthdays, or an anniversary. It even comes with instructions, it says to choose 5 numbers 1 through 59, and another number.
But what would you even do with that much money?
"Lots of stuff, travel, give to my friends, my family I guess, quit working," says Ozturk.
"I would invest it, first get me a house," says Taylor.
"Retire," says Bowen.
I guess it would give you enough cushion for that!
But with 43 states taking part in the drawing, chances could be slim.
"One in a trillion," says Bowen.
"Not much, but it's fun and exciting to play it," says Taylor.
And while these East Texans have big dreams, and plans, they're just enjoying the fun of Powerball mania while the money looks good on paper.
"If you don't play, you won't win," says Taylor.
The odds of you winning the grand prize is 1 in 175,000,000 people.
Even to take home a cool million dollars, you're looking at being 1 in more than 5 million people.
Powerball tickets are 2 dollars each, it's an extra dollar for the Powerplay option, which multiplies your winnings.
The Powerball drawing will be Saturday night at 9:59.

If we are in the early innings of a global paradigm shift with regards to insurance, how can I leverage FinTech to capture premiums and market share? That's the question that insurance industry executives are pondering as they begin to grasp the true scale of the burgeoning opportunity associated with the un(der)insured.
The sheer demographics and current low adoption rate of insurance globally confirms this enormous growth opportunity. But who will capitalize: forward-thinking incumbents or savvy new entrants?
Consider the numbers. According to 2015 data from Swiss Re, the overall penetration of insurance within developing markets (defined as premiums as a percentage of GDP) remains paltry at 2.7%.1 Obviously, there is plenty of upside here. But just as important, a shift in attitude toward the greater adoption of insurance appears to be underway. This same data from Swiss Re suggests that insurance coverage has been trending higher since 2000, particularly in developing markets.
The DeNovo Q2 2016 FinTech ReCap and Funding Review, which examines this un(der)insured opportunity in detail, points out the importance of considering the nonlinear relationship between the need for insurance and the growth in GDP. As development occurs, the necessity of insurance rises much faster than the underlying GDP. In other words: buckle up. This is still a greenfield opportunity with uncommon potential, particularly in developing markets. If an incumbent wants to pass on this type of growth potential, there are fast-moving InsureTechs who will be happy to fill the void.
One of the key challenges could be perception. Frankly, the un(der)insured do not see the reasons to buy insurance. And it's not just emerging markets consumers who are skeptical. For example, approximately 60% of U.S. adults have life insurance coverage, compared with the 94% who have bank accounts. There are a multitude of factors behind the low coverage rate, namely the uncertain benefit to the covered and the misconception of the cost of a policy.
A 2015 study by Life Happens, a nonprofit focused on insurance planning, showed that millennials overestimated the cost of insurance by 213%. In essence, insurance has a public relations problem.
Some may view it as a tax or a burdensome payment with uncertain benefits, whereas basic banking services can bring immediate convenience with low to no fees. Thus, in order to capitalize on this opportunity, it will be critical for the financial services industry to address the simple lack of education about insurance.
Another key to capturing this opportunity is embracing mobile and other technologies that can enable enhanced customer targeting. Already this is forcing carriers to move beyond traditional intermediaries and coverage programs to better understand evolving consumer behavior. And in developing markets, carriers have skipped the traditional agent/broker model altogether and are leveraging mobile and nontraditional partnerships.
Again, digital delivery may be the key enabler of success. By integrating the sales activity into an existing digital purchase made via mobile, carriers can mitigate the cumbersome nature of shopping among multiple carriers and try to overcome the negative consumer attitudes toward insurance products.
The fledgling consumer class in developing nations appears to be embracing insurance as economies mature. And millennials (as well as other groups) in the U.S. also represent a significant opportunity set. There are various strategies that incumbent insurers and InsureTechs can deploy to capture their share of the un(der)insured opportunity in both developed and developing markets. To learn more about these strategies and this lucrative un(der)insured opportunity, please read The DeNovo Q2 2016 FinTech ReCap and Funding Review.

It's 2013 and I'm way behind cause I have 3-year-old twins
Things have been moving non-stop for the last few months. It's not like I don't spend time sitting on the couch absorbing a couple of my favorite shows, but my down time is necessary for rebuilding the patience cells that are depleted throughout the day. My boys take some serious patience. They are amazing and imaginative. I am constantly in awe of the things that they say and do. It's in between all of the good stuff that we have excruciating tantrums filled with blood curdling screams and big tears.
The tough part about 3-year-old twins (or any 3-year-old for that matter) is that you never know when they are going to strike with what. There are a cast of characters including whiny, nudnick, sweet, cuddly and crazy tantrum crybaby. One of my boys has an incredible knack for repeating the thing he wants over and over until you get mad or your give it to him. He commits to it and settles in. This can all fall smack dab in the middle of a day with new experiences and perfect behavior.
I am learning to keep my goals for the day simple and loose. I am learning that 2013 will be my chance to redefine how I live, make and accomplish my goals. It's all going to happen (whatever that is), but I might have to stop along the way to relax or debate with a screaming toddler.
Sick Baby Makes Mommy An Unhappy Girl
Zev has been sick all week. It is not the first time, but it is the second with a true fever and because of that, probably the worst. Next to the lack of sleep and my heart aching for my little man, the most challenging part is having my twin boys doing different things. Elan is healthy but wants whatever Zev has, including the extra care and attention. In response to his dislike of this current state of affairs he has peed in his pants and thrown a few tantrums. He has also been waking up in the middle of the night wanting just to get out and sleep in my bed. So, here I am exhausted physically and emotionally because both my boys demand the equal attention I generally give them. You really can't win as a twin mommy.
Your Kid Is Not Potty Trained Yet????
I was helping a friend register for her baby shower and the entire process reminded me of how territorial parents, particularly mothers, are when it comes to infant care. Everyone knows the best diapers, wipes, stroller and onesie. The truth is, as I told my girlfriend, everyone does things differently and there is really no right way as long as your baby is happy and healthy. This sense that there is only one way extends to milestones and stages with your infant and toddler. Is your kid still using that sippy cup? You still give them a bottle before bed? Pacifiers at this age?
Here is what I say: Will they be wearing diapers, sucking on a pacifier and drinking from a sippy cup as they walk down the aisle for their high school graduation? While the image is hilarious, you are probably shaking your head no. The truth is, regardless of the pressures from all of the perfect parents and their meeting their milestones right on time kids, your kids will get where they need to get in due time. Sure, you need to manipulate the situation a bit and show them how to use the potty and bribe the pacifier away, but no need to rush it. I personally find it best to slowly transition. For example, you can't pull dump the diapers, the sippy cups and the pacifier in one week or even one month. Go with the flow and see how your kids react.
In regards to dealing with those judgmental parents, learn to do it. These people are not going away. They will be telling you about their kids top grades, ability to make a goal in soccer and top 100% height until you turn blue in the face. Come up with responses that make you comfortable and don't open your kids' personal goals up for discussion. I suggest something like, "I'm proud of my kids. They really make me smile every day." It's true and no one can compare that to anything!
Three Years Old Is Just Around The Bend
This December my boys are turning three! I can hardly believe it. It seems that every three months or so we still go through pretty major changes and advancements. Three seems so mature. I can actually ask their opinion on things. It was this that led me to choosing a pirate theme for their birthday. Since their birthday falls smack dab in the middle of the holidays I throw a big adult and kid party in honor of the holidays, the birthday and the close of the year. I make sure that all tastes are covered in food and booze, create lots of seating and conversation areas and a big project for the kids. Last year it was gingerbread houses (big success) and this year it is pirate themed.
Here is the plan……
- The house will be transformed into a pirate ship with lots of skeletons, skulls, pirate flags, gold coins and sails.
- Pirate costumes are optional for guests, but mandatory for us (more on that later).
- The food table will be set up like a ship with a big sail.
- There will be a "Dig for Treasure" for the little kids comprised of rice and small favors wrapped in gold.
- The big craft for kids or adventurous adults will be a "Make Your Own Pirate Bandanna" craft.
- There will be themed cocktails like "Sharks Blood Martinis."
- The birthday cake (made by me, the mom) will be a pirate ship.
So today, the challenge begins. I have collected supplies and now I must start creating those pirate costumes and crazy decorations. More to come. Super excited crafty mom here!
The Toddlers Rule The World
Well at least that is what it feels like (see title). Since the potty training boot camp a lot has changed. Just two weeks after the start of potty training the kids began daycare part time. I thought about these endless hours I could spend catching up on chores, reinventing my future life and career, exercising. I mean, seriously. All those hours. Truth is, I have less time. It's all because toddlers rule the world.
Nearing our third birthday the boys are super quite and twice as exasperating. Their minds are molding and they are making acute and cute observations. They listen more (when they feel like it) and remember more. Basically, they are entertaining me, challenging my ability to mother and distract simultaneously, and teaching me to be humble and accept bodily fluids. I have heard many a person say that this is the best and worst age and I would have to agree, although I can only compare to what was. Somehow, they make me feel that the extreme sleeplessness that came with infancy was easier than explaining to a toddler why he can't have something, go somewhere or drive a car without ending in tears yourself.
Yes, people, parenting is tough.
So, back to changes. I'm not sure if it is school or just the addition of 2 and a half months, but my boys have seriously matured and grown tremendously. All the little life skills like dressing, putting on shoes and eating messy soup come easier to them. In fact, sometimes their extreme desire to try something new can be a challenge in itself (note tantrum over putting on shirt by ones self). These changes are welcome. Yes, I miss the little cuddly babies, but these beings can converse with me and share some likes and dislikes. They tell me when something hurts and exactly where. These advancements have made outings more interesting. I just love to see their joy in going to a store or sharing their observations with me.
The developing independence is a blessing and a curse. As I said, they rule the world. Oh, and parents, the term terrible twos is inaccurate. It's about 2-3 years of ups and downs with tantrums, tears (yours and theirs) and lots of laughter. Even poop can be funny (I have stories).
Potty Training Boot Camp
Life with toddlers has been rough, making it very tough to type a blog post or take a break. They consume my time a suck my energy, yet I love them more every day!
Most recently we have tackled potty training. I started by reading other blogs, referring to books and talking to friends. When I realized that "cold turkey" works for potty training as well as other "habits" I went for it. I chose a weekend with no plans and we said goodbye to diapers during waking hours. I called it boot camp.
On day 1 of boot camp we started with potty training undies (just thicker down the middle) and using the potty every 1/2 hour or so. I soon realized the underwear was too tough to master on day 1. So we went commando, since it was summer they were mostly nudists in the house. By day 2 the underwear were on without pants. By day 3 the pants were on.
If you choose this method be prepared with tons of rags and extra undies. Oh, and patience helps. I used tons of rewards. Balloons, stickers and cookies worked best. By day 4 Elan was fully trained, so much so that he started to wake up asking to use the potty and always has a dry diaper at nap time (sometimes in the morning!).
I don't think Elan is unusual. Since he is a twin, his life is more about structure and routine than singletons. Potty training was just another routine. Zev, on the other hand, has been more challenging. No amount of bargaining can speed up the process with him.
After one month Zev is just beginning to ask to use the potty, but not every time. I try to keep my cool and encourage the right behavior. Once we master daytime for 3-4 months I will work on nighttime. Oy!
I think that the most important lesson is to say goodbye to diapers during waking hours and to be firm with that, no matter how hard. Kids don't understand mixed signals.
Twins: The Road Trip Edition
I am a week into a road trip with my two and a half year-old twin boys. Oy vay. Seriously. All things considered, they have behaved pretty well. The over 1500 mile journey to Florida saw very little car napping time (like a combined 40 minutes) and some white hair causing whiny time, but we cam out unscathed. After a few days of chasing the boys around Grandma and Grandpa's house (no amount of hiding things up high really seems to do it) we left on the second leg of our journey, Orlando and Disney World.
To get to Disney we had to spend another 4 hours in the car. The boys were not thrilled. Apparently, the sight of the hotel room door also really freaked one of the boys out (until day 4 when we were leaving). We were tired, cranky and trying to eat dinner in public at an hour the boys usually slept. They were troopers. I felt like I deserved a raise. Like all things in parenting, it is these little sacrifices of your hair color, patience and fun that really pay off when they smile and enjoy themselves. This trip had a lot of both (sacrifices and smiles, my new band name).
In Orlando we experienced several firsts: vacationing with friends, swimming in a pool, camping out in a hotel with Uncle "Uvi" and, of course, Disney. If you are asking yourself what a 2-year-old can do at Disney, the answer is a lot. I was asking myself the same thing about parents of infants. Aside from the thrill of walking through this new and magical world, much of Disney is a slow moving vehicle with a feast for the eyes. Some of it scared the boys, but they soon learned that a little bit of dark or waiting in a line was rewarded. I had to learn to let the routine go and live in the moment. All in all, I am pleased with the results.
Although we have several more days, including the long trek up north and another hotel stay, I have already experienced and learned more than I thought possible. I have learned to reach for patience I did not think was there and to ignore whining while driving 80 down the highway. Those are the valuable lessons. The others, well, when I finish this bottle of wine I will whine about them and get over it. That is parenting. Stay fierce parents. Just stay fierce.
My P90X Journey: Day 39
I CANNOT BELIEVE I MADE IT THIS FAR!!!! Seriously, it has been such a ride. I never thought that I would be able to work out on a daily basis, much less look forward to it on some days. This past week or so has been a real challenge to my will power as I have been sick. I felt so much guilt at missing a work out that I pushed myself and managed to complete most of them successfully. I only bowed out of one yoga as it is so tough and hanging your head down when congested is killer. But, alas I am on the other side of illness now and regaining my energy. I am also thrilled at my progress.
Progress wise I have lost just under 5 pounds and about an inch everywhere. I am also stronger and more flexible than I can remember being in years (at least post babies). My clothing is fitting better and I am slowly starting to fit into my smaller sizes. I have yet to get down a size, but that comes with time. In addition to my physical progress I have learned a lot about myself and what may work well for others.
First, I learned that exercise is best scheduled daily. When you try to fit it in a few times a week you can easily put it off. If you know you need to fit it in daily you are more likely to adapt it into your routine. Exercise does not have to be a class or video, it can be a jog or walk through the park, yoga, bike riding, etc. Just stay fit!
Second, if you are a "forget to eat" person, which many busy Moms are, then it is best to get the eating, snack included, into your schedule. I am so routine oriented that my body is now trained to get hungry at scheduled times.
Third, it's okay to cheat but be reasonable. I try to maintain my healthy diet at all times. When we go to a party or out to eat, I enjoy myself but try to not go overboard. This means forget the appetizer and the sweet cocktails and if dessert is in the picture, split it.
Fourth, even when you slip it's important to jump right back on the wagon…like right back! One bad meal or bad day does not erase all of your hard work. Don't wait until tomorrow, get back on the wagon right away. No big deal.
My P90X Journey: Day 10
Today was tough. I was dragging my heels all day. By the time I worked out my stomach hurt and I was hungry. I pushed through. Oh man. Intense.
I can't wait until it comes naturally. Will it?

pictures on hard drive
I have many pictures on my hard drive that I would like to use for a project that I am working on. Can I remove these pictures and if so can someone please let me know how.
Help is appreciated. Thank you.

You can print them individually.
If you don't want them on your drive anymore you can use a USB stick and move them to it.

pictures from hard drive
I thank everyone for their reply. This is what I want to do.
I have many pictures on my hard drive that I would like to use in a project that I am currently working on. I am making picture with music cd's.
I do not want to delete any pictures from the hard drive, I just want to use some of them in my project.
Someone suggested a usb but I am afraid that I would make a mess and delete pictures in error, but I appreciate the suggestion.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks again for all of the help.

Here is the best way for you to operate:
1. Make a new folder in Pictures and call it 1pic - this name is not compulsary but it is handy as you will see later.
2. Make a shortcut of that 1pic folder on the desktop - right clickon the folder > send to desktop
3. Press start and type shell:sendto, then hit Enter. That brings up the sendto folder
4. Make that sendto folder a bit smaller on the screen so that you can see your 1pic shortcut. Drag that shortcut into that folder. Close the folder
5. Now you go to the pictures that you want to use in the project. Right click on every picture that you want to use and go to sendto and click on 1pic. That will send a copy of that picture to the 1pic folder. Nothing gets lost and you will thus collect all pictures for your project in the 1pic folder.
6. For convenience, you may want to again make a shortcut of 1pic on the desktop. Then it is easily accessible.
When you read all that, it may sound difficult, but it is really very easy to setup. The reason I suggested 1pic is that now 1pic is first in the sendto context menu (because 1 is high in the sorting sequence). Then you don't have to search thru the whole context menu every time you use it.

The people have chosen.
After four days of voting and endless dedication, you have chosen the Celeb of the Year for 2015. After starting with 16 celebs, the competition gave a number of stars the boot, and ended up with a face-off between two of our most-favorite soulful singers—Adele and Taylor Swift.
It's a tough one, we know. How do you choose between these two angels on earth whose vocals literally take us into an emotional whirlwind? It's insane! But you guys did it, and you've chosen one to be crowned the ultimate victor.
Drum roll, please...
The winner is T. Swift! It was really close, but the 1989 singer came out on top with 56 percent of the vote, and is therefore your 2015 Celeb of the Year.
Congratulations, Taylor!

Weir hopes Laidlaw gets Lions call
Scotland stand-off Duncan Weir believes his half-back partner Greig Laidlaw would deserve a British and Irish Lions call-up after his displays in the RBS 6 Nations.
Weir has been hugely impressed by Edinburgh scrum-half Laidlaw. who was arguably Scotland's man of the tournament, which ended with a 23-16 defeat to France in Paris on Saturday night. His goal-kicking was near-flawless while his work at the breakdown was terrier-like as he harassed his forwards at the same time as organising his colleagues in the backs.
Now Weir hopes the displays were enough for Laidlaw to earn a call from Warren Gatland ahead of this summer's tour of Australia and consideration as an alternative to Welshman Mike Phillips, favourite for the starting scrum-half slot. Weir told Press Association Sport: "For me, a lot of credit has got to go to Greigy."
He continued: "He's kicked the goals really well. He's bossed the forwards and helped out marshalling the backs as well. His leadership skills at the back of the base, his voice in defence, they have both been outstanding.
"He gives me a lot of guidance at 10 but also takes a lot of the responsibility himself by kicking from source when he collects the ball.
"He's been a key man for us this season and I think he's got a great shout for a Lions place."
Laidlaw had been filling it at stand-off for club and country before Blair - capped 85 times for his country - announced he was stepping down from the international game.
The move back to number nine has suited the 27-year-old but Weir believes the stint at fly-half was beneficial.
Weir said: "Greig understands how to do both roles just as well. He's benefited from his spell at 10. He already had a huge rugby brain being a Borders boy but he's an immensely talented guy and has really rallied the troops this year."

The influence of 0-0.1 wt.% Ni on the microstructure and fluidity length of Sn-0.7Cu-xNi
Alloys based on the Sn-0.7Cu-xNi system are potential Pb-free solders. In this paper we report on the solidification characteristics and microstructures of Sn-0.7Cu alloys containing 0-1,000 ppm nickel. The microstructural observations show that increasing the nickel content reduces the volume fraction of primary Sn, thus generating a more-eutectic microstructure. In an attempt to better understand the changes in solderability with Ni additions, fluidity tests were carried out using the Ragone method for small incremental increases in nickel content. The maximum fluidity length was found to vary strongly with nickel content. Additionally, the distribution of nickel within samples was investigated using synchrotron micro X-ray fluorescence.

Losing weight is a tough and demoralizing battle for many people. Like everyone else, I've tried many ways to shed the fat and it seemed impossible.
But in 2013, at the age of 37, after much research, trial and error…I managed to lose 10kg in eight months without starving myself, taking pills or going for any surgery.
Then, at the encouragement of my friends, I wrote an e-book to share my research and experience on how anyone could lose weight easily.
Over 9,000 people have shared and read this e-book in its pre-release editions!
Being overweight brings risks
Singapore has the second-highest proportion of diabetics among the developed nations, a new report by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) revealed. It said 10.53 per cent of people here aged between 20 and 79 are estimated to have the chronic disease, after correcting for age differences between the countries. Only the United States fared worse, with a percentage of 10.75. These results are worrying but not surprising, according to local doctors, as Singaporeans are becoming less active and eating more high-calorie diets, both of which increase the risk of diabetes. – The Straits Times, 2 Dec 2015
Yes, Singapore is a hotpot of food cultures and people love eating out and looking for the best dishes at all times. But at what cost? The culture of excess here often leads to obesity, and in turn creates risks like diabetes, strokes, heart attacks and other weight-related diseases.
My research showed that it really boils down to understanding how we eat today in a first-world country like Singapore or the United States, and what we've all gotten wrong about food, exercise and calories.
Before And After
Just as slimming center needs to do "Before vs After" marketing, here's some photographic proof that I can walk the talk:
In 2012, I was 73.5kg and rather overweight for my 1.71m height. After I figured out how to lose weight healthily, I came down to a much healthier weight of 63kg in 2013 within eight months.
This is not a short-term solution
Of course, it's not enough just to lose weight, you gotta keep it down. And here is Photo Exhibit B where I demonstrate that with a proper diet, you can keep your weight more or less constant all the time.
Own my book and change your life for just $4.99
Yes, it's not about your fluctuating hormones or metabolic rate. It's just simple discipline and good food nutrition. All of which I'll explain in the book, which shouldn't take you more than 30 minutes to read.
Here's a sample of the introduction chapter if you want to check out my writing style and have a taste of the content.
To buy my book now via PayPal (which also accepts credit cards), please click on the link below. It's just $4.99 in Singapore currency, or about $3.50 USD. This is an e-book PDF that is designed to be read easily on Kindles, tablets, phablets or laptop displays. For feedback or support, please email me at email@example.com

Jamie Carragher leaks Liverpool transfer news: This is truth behind deal
He wrote to Carragher: "£30m sounds like a lot but Fenway are paying in dollars so he's only costing the price of a big mac and fries in NYC."
Starsport understand Mane could complete his move to Anfield tomorrow or Wednesday.
Mane will become manager Jurgen Klopp's fourth signing after agreeing deals for midfielder Marko Grujic, centre-back Joel Matip and goalkeeper Loris Karius.
He is the fifth player in the last three seasons to swap St Mary's for Anfield after Dejan Lovren, Rickie Lambert, Adam Lallana and Nathaniel Clyne all made the same move.

Sorry, and have a nice December
First, an apology...sorry, didn't mean to be gone this long.
I had two main post-election reactions. First, I was glad we kicked the bums out, and now it's wait-and-see time on whether the new bunch is any better. Second, I was disgusted with the campaign overall, and especially the blog part of it. Pointless twaddle, on balance.
Didn't post anything for a few days, then took some vacation. Included a trip home to SW Mo. (Jerico Springs, to be exact) for a family thanksgiving. Didn't feel even slightly guilty when I drove off without the laptop.
Kept thinking I'd do something tomorrow, but work's hectic and there was a tree to get up and, of course, I had to run up to Port Byron a couple of times to catch the Friday night music at G's.
And time just kept slipping by ...
But today I finally called up the PP for the first time in a month, waded through vast amounts of accumulated spam comments and pingbacks, and, well, here I am.
Probably won't be doing many posts for several more weeks. I'm going to enjoy the season, without worrying much about Important Developments. I still have a few days of vacation left, during which me and my Christmas books will be spending a lot of time together.
You have a nice December, too.

Branding: if you're an American brought up on Western movies, "branding" probably makes you think of cowboys rustling up calves and sticking a hot iron to their haunches. Now that's gotta hurt, even if it's only for a little while…
If you're in business, you should know that having a ho-hum brand will make all of your marketing that much harder – if nobody can remember you or what you do. What really hurts is not having a brand, or having one that doesn't work.
Now when you combine a good brand name with great blog writing – well, the cows come running…dare I continue the metaphor by saying clients will stampede to your door? Yippey ay yea and git along li'l doggies…
Okay, I'll stop. The point is, branding and blogging are two marketing tasks you really need to take care of, if you want to stand out from your competitors and make money, on or off-line.
Two things you should do about that right now:
- Go over to Build a Better Blog and read some of the Q & A's Denise is writing about blogging for your brand
- Go read about why you should grab one of the 5 seats left in the Branding and Blogging tele-workshop we're doing starting September 11, next Tuesday, with Ruth Klein
You see, if you are writing online for your business, you will find that everything you write about should reflect your brand, both your personal and external business brand. Most professionals aren't clear what that means and how important that is for business.
When Denise and I "branded" ourselves as The Blog Squad(tm), the lid blew off our business. It really made a big difference. (And it didn't hurt at all!)

See who performed best at every position on the field every game and every season. It's not just the QB's we're evaluating, it's every position down to the punter and special teams contributor.
Easily filter the player's performance to the subset of games you are most interested in. This allows you to answer questions on specific matchups (ie. How did Dallas' receivers do each time they played the Eagles?)
Look at Jason Witten's career below, he was a Pro-Bowler in 2013, but not in 2011, despite having the exact same grade. What could have caused him to miss out? Quickly glance and see a player's performance over the course of his entire career. View each player's ranking based on overall performance and sort by various metrics for the offense and defense.
With Premium Stats, you'll have access to a full breakdown of offensive line play. Answer questions like: How did the Cowboy's offensive linemen do in run blocking? How did this rank amongst other offensive line units?
Quarterbacks and receivers naturally have favorite parts of the field. Some quarterbacks like throwing to the right side and some receivers feel more confident lining up on the left side. At Pro Football Focus, we can detail out the performance of both a QB and WR based on the location of the field. You'll be able to see the areas of the field a WR is most dangerous and where a QB might be must vulnerable.
PFF has built a series of exclusive metrics for each and every position group called Signature Stats. As an example, QB Rating goes a step further than the basic QB rating. Ours takes into account drops, throw aways and spikes, along with the work a receiver does after the catch. This wraps up into a much more accurate picture of the impact a QB really has on the game.
What are the best metrics to indicate production for wide receivers? Our signature stats has a metric you can't find anywhere else. Yards per Route Run (YPRR) shows the yards a receiver picks up on a per route basis. It takes into account the number of snaps a player went out for a pass, providing a better indicator of production than Yards per Reception or even Yards per Target.
For Fantasy Football, we have created a number of proprietary metrics that can only be powered by PFF. aDOT (Average Depth of Target for Receivers), shows where players are on the field when they are targeted. More predictive than yards per catch and it enables you to identify big play receivers downfield. Below is a ranked list of the 2016 receivers by aDOT.
Another great Fantasy Football metric is PPO (Points per Opportunity). This shows how effective a player is as a fantasy scorer on a per opportunity basis. Did a team's first or second string RB get hurt? If the third string guy has a high PPO, but hasn't received a lot of reps, he's worth considering. This metric can really help point you in the right direction in terms of roster moves.

"…the South African Council for Educators (SACE), as the professional body for professional educators, will have the overall responsibility for the implementation, management and quality assurance of the CPTD system. SACE will be provided with the necessary resources and support to undertake that role"
"Teachers must take the initiative to identify the areas in which they need further development and approach the department for assistance to access training opportunities. Courses that are in line with the requirements of the teacher's job must be fully subsidised by the government and should take place outside term time.
On completion of the course or professional development activities, teachers should earn points towards meeting the Continuing Professional Teacher Development requirements of the South African Council for Educators (pp307-308).
"Allow a wide range of training providers to offer professional development courses for teachers, subject to approval by the South African Council for Educators (pp307-308)"
