This report is the from a series covering the costs of desktop inkjet printing. You can find the summary page here.
This report addresses concerns and arguments about the true cost of ink in desktop photo printing. Using the Canon PRO-10, we conducted a series of print tests to determine how much ink is used in a full coverage 8"x10" print. From that figure, we extrapolated ink usage per square inch. The objective is to share a realistic cost-per-print-vision with inkjet users. The choice to pursue photo inkjet printing is in the end an individual economic choice.
This chart shows the cost of ink used in making prints:
Prices based on $14.99 per ink.
The "true cost of inkjet printing" is a source of constant debate in the media and on web forums. With claims of ink costing five to ten thousand dollars per gallon, it's not a mystery why the debate continues. Still, inkjet printer sales and printing continue to increase, and studies indicate this trend will continue in the short and mid-term. Do the majority of end users simply not care about the cost or do they know something that is missing from the discussion? This report looks at the cost of ink per square inch for the Canon PRO-10. The goal is to determine the cost for various popular print sizes, and to report those numbers. Further, we hope to spark more discussion and debate about the merits of inkjet printing in light of its unique ability to offer on-demand continuous tone photo reproductions that will last many decades.
Ink cartridge use calculations
New cartridges were installed at the beginning of the test. At the end of printing:
For final ink estimates, a screen capture was made of the Canon Status Monitor, which shows a display of ink cartridge status. From the screen grab, a graph breaking the ink level into 10% increments was used to make an estimate of ink remaining. It was assumed that the Status Monitor display offered an acceptably accurate account of how much ink was in the cartridges. From previous experience we observed the printer quitting immediately or just after a cartridge displayed "dry". That proved helpful in making estimates of ink left per cartridge. (See end section for all screen grabs)
For the purpose of this experiment, the question of how much ink is left in an "empty cartridge" is moot. If the printer quits then effectively the cartridge has run dry. The final results focus on actual yields, not questions of lost milliliters in spent cartridges.
Cartridge Equivalent Usage
The cartridge usage of each printer is listed below

Equation: (Cartridge per Square Inch) x (Square Inches) x (Cost of one ink cartridge) = Ink Cost Per Print
Our calculations are based on the current market price for the Canon PRO-10.
If you pay more or less for inks, just use the above equation, and substutite your cost.
Sources of Error
We acknowledge that there are potential errors in testing and calculations. They are listed below:
Given possible sources of error, it is fair to attach a margin of error of +/- 10% to our results.
The Canon PRO-10's cost of printing is more than we expected. Inkjet printing prices have been trending down in recent years, so the higher cost of this printer relative to similar models is a minor disappointment. Given the capability of the PRO-10 to offer on-demand results that are "better than lab quality", we think that the cost per print is still acceptable. Those shopping for a printer, particularily Canon devotees looking for long term fade resistance, should consider this printer. More information about the PRO-10 and its capabilities is in the Canon PRO-10 Review.
What does this mean then to the photographic community at large? In our opinion it is and always has been up to the end user. The value one places on print quality, convenience, speed, control, and media availability is what determines if inkjet is right for them. Given that the quality of the average $700 inkjet printer rivals or may exceed a $50,000 photo lab printer, the typical inkjet user indeed has a great tool at their disposal.

This is what happens when you invited Luke Bryan to come visit with Today show hosts Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb.
There will be drinking, joking and storytelling. And Bryan might get a word in edgewise.
The hosts did most of the talking Monday morning (June 20), but Bryan did get to discuss his drinks of choice (anything but Scotch), how he is able to look so fresh after barely three hours of sleep (caffeine) and what it's like to have his boys out on the road with him a little bit this summer (everybody wins).
Then he told a story about his Sunday night show at the Buckeye Country Superfest in Columbus, Ohio.
"Crazy night last night," he said of his show for 50,000 country fans, the majority of who were also Cleveland Cavaliers fans missing game seven of the NBA finals to be at his show. "I'm in middle of my song 'Play It Again,' and my stage guy goes, 'The Cavaliers just won.' I stopped my song and I went, 'Cavaliers won!'"
He described the crowd's reaction as pandemonium.
"Beers are flying … and clothes are flying," he laughed.
But by the end of the Today segment, when he was reflecting on being able to live the life he's living, he simply said, "At the end of the day, we're all overly blessed."

Summary of Chapter 19. Collection views
Notes on this page indicate areas where Xamarin.Forms has diverged from the material presented in the book.
Xamarin.Forms defines three views that maintain collections and display their elements:
Pickeris a relatively short list of string items that allows the user to choose one
ListViewis often a long list of items usually of the same type and formatting, also allowing the user to choose one
TableViewis a collection of cells (usually of various types and appearances) to display data or manage user input
It is common for MVVM applications to use the
ListView to display a selectable collection of objects.
Program options with Picker
Picker is a good choice when you need to allow the user to choose an option from among a relatively short list of
string items.
The Picker and event handling
The PickerDemo sample demonstrates how to use XAML to set the
Title property and add
string items to the
Items collection. When the user selects the
Picker, it displays the items in the
Items collection in a platform-dependent manner.
SelectedIndexChanged event indicates when the user has selected an item. The zero-based
SelectedIndex property then indicates the selected item. If no item is selected,
SelectedIndex equals –1.
You can also use
SelectedIndex to initialize the selected item, but it must be set after the
Items collection is filled. In XAML, this means that you'll probably use a property element to set
Data binding the Picker
SelectedIndex property is backed by a bindable property but
Items is not, so using data binding with a
Picker is difficult. One solution is to use the
Picker in combination with an
ObjectToIndexConverter such as the one in the Xamarin.FormsBook.Toolkit library. The PickerBinding demonstrates how this works.
The Xamarin.Forms
Picker now includes
ItemsSource and
SelectedItem properties that support data binding. See Picker.
Rendering data with ListView
ListView is the only class that derives from
ItemsView<TVisual> from which it inherits the
ItemsSource and
ItemTemplate properties.
ItemsSource is of type
IEnumerable but it is
null by default and must be explicitly initialized or (more commonly) set to a collection through a data binding. The items in this collection can be of any type.
ListView defines a
SelectedItem property that is either set to one of the items in the
ItemsSource collection or
null if no item is selected.
ListView fires the
ItemSelected event when a new item is selected.
Collections and selections
The ListViewList sample fills a
ListView with 17
Color values in a
List<Color> collection. The items are selectable but by default they are displayed with their unattractive
ToString representations. Several examples in this chapter show how to fix that display and make it as attractive as desired.
The row separator
On iOS and Android displays, a thin line separates the rows. You can control this with the
SeparatorVisibility and
SeparatorColor properties.
SeparatorVisibility property is of type
SeparatorVisibility, an enumeration with two members:
Data binding the selected item
SelectedItem property is backed by a bindable property, so it can be either the source or target of a data binding. Its default
BindingMode is
OneWayToSource, but generally it is the target of a two-way data binding, particularly in MVVM scenarios. The ListViewArray sample demonstrates this type of binding.
The ObservableCollection difference
The ListViewLogger sample sets the
ItemsSource property of a
ListView to a
List<DateTime> collection and then progressively adds a new
DateTime object to the collection every second using a timer.
However, the
ListView doesn't automatically update itself because the
List<T> collection doesn't have a notification mechanism to indicate when items are added to or removed from the collection.
A much better class to use in such scenarios is
ObservableCollection<T> defined in the
System.Collections.ObjectModel namespace. This class implements the
INotifyCollectionChanged interface and consequently fires a
CollectionChanged event when items are added to or removed from the collection, or when they are replaced or moved within the collection. When the
ListView internally detects that a class implementing
INotifyCollectionChanged has been set to its
ItemsSource property, it attaches a handler to the
CollectionChanged event and updates its display when the collection changes.
ObservableLogger sample demonstrates the use of
Templates and cells
By default, a
ListView displays items in its collection using each item's
ToString method. A better approach involves defining a template to display the items.
To experiment with this feature, you can use the
NamedColor class in the Xamarin.FormsBook.Toolkit library. This class defines a static
All property of type
IList<NamedColor> that contains 141
NamedColor objects corresponding to the public fields of the
Color structure.
The NaiveNamedColorList sample sets the
ItemsSource of a
ListView to this
NamedColor.All property, but only the fully-qualified class names of the
NamedColor objects are displayed.
ListView needs a template to display these items. In code, you can set the
ItemTemplate property defined by
ItemsView<TVisual> to a
DataTemplate object using the
DataTemplate constructor that references a derivative of the
Cell class.
Cell has five derivatives:
TextCell— contains two
Labelviews (conceptually speaking)
ImageCell— adds an
Imageview to
EntryCell— contains an
Entryview with a
SwitchCell— contains a
Switchwith a
ViewCell— can be any
View(likely with children)
Then call
SetValue and
SetBinding on the
DataTemplate object to associate values with the
Cell properties, or to set data bindings on the
Cell properties referencing properties of the items in the
ItemsSource collection. This is demonstrated in the TextCellListCode sample.
As each item is displayed by the
ListView, a small visual tree is constructed from the template, and data bindings are established between the item and the properties of the elements in this visual tree. You can get an idea of this process by installing handlers for the
ItemAppearing and
ItemDisappearing events of the
ListView, or by using an alternative
DataTemplate constructor that uses a function that is called each time an item's visual tree must be created.
The TextCellListXaml shows a functionally identical program entirely in XAML. A
DataTemplate tag is set to the
ItemTemplate property of the
ListView, and then the
TextCell is set to the
DataTemplate. Bindings to properties of the items in the collection are set directly on the
Text and
Detail properties of the
Custom cells
In XAML it is possible to set a
ViewCell to the
DataTemplate and then define a custom visual tree as the
View property of
ViewCell. (
View is the content property of
ViewCell so the
ViewCell.View tags aren't required.) The CustomNamedColorList sample demonstrates this technique:
Getting the sizing right for all the platforms can be tricky. The
RowHeight property is useful but in some cases you'll want to resort to the
HasUnevenRows property, which is less efficient but forces the
ListView to size the rows. For iOS and Android, you must use one of these two properties to get proper row sizing.
Grouping the ListView items
ListView supports the grouping of items and navigating among those groups. The
ItemsSource property must be set to a collection of collections: The object that
ItemsSource is set to must implement
IEnumerable, and each item in the collection must also implement
IEnumerable. Each group should include two properties: a text description of the group and a three-letter abbreviation.
NamedColorGroup class in the Xamarin.FormsBook.Toolkit library creates seven groups of
NamedColor objects. The ColorGroupList sample shows how to use these groups with the
IsGroupingEnabled property of
ListView set to
true, and the
GroupDisplayBinding and
GroupShortNameBinding properties bound to properties in each group.
Custom group headers
It's possible to create custom headers for the
ListView groups by replacing the
GroupDisplayBinding property with the
GroupHeaderTemplate defining a template for the headers.
ListView and interactivity
Generally an application obtains user interaction with a
ListView by attaching a handler to the
ItemSelected or
ItemTapped event, or by setting a data binding on the
SelectedItem property. But some cell types (
EntryCell and
SwitchCell) allow user interaction, and it's also possible to create custom cells that themselves interact with the user. The
InteractiveListView creates 100 instances of
ColorViewModel and allows the user to change each color using a trio of
Slider elements. The program also makes use of the
ColorToContrastColorConverter in the Xamarin.FormsBook.Toolkit.
ListView and MVVM
ListView plays a big role in MVVM scenarios. Whenever an
IEnumerable collection exists in a ViewModel, it is often bound to a
ListView. Also, the items in the collection often implement
INotifyPropertyChanged to bind with properties in a template.
A collection of ViewModels
To explore this, the SchoolOfFineArts library creates several classes based on an XML data file and images of fictitious students at this fictitious school.
Student class derives from
ViewModelBase. The
StudentBody class is a collection of
Student objects and also derives from
ViewModelBase. The
SchoolViewModel downloads the XML file and assembles all the objects.
The StudentList program uses an
ImageCell to display the students and their images in a
The ListViewHeader sample adds a
Header property but it only shows up on Android.
Selection and the binding context
The SelectedStudentDetail program binds the
BindingContext of a
StackLayout to the
SelectedItem property of the
ListView. This allows the program to display detailed information about the selected student.
Context menus
A cell can define a context menu that is implemented in a platform-specific manner. To create this menu, add
MenuItem objects to the
ContextActions property of the
MenuItem defines five properties:
Textof type
Iconof type
IsDestructiveof type
Commandof type
CommandParameterof type
Command and
CommandParameter properties imply that the ViewModel for each item contains methods to carry out the desired menu commands. In non-MVVM scenarios,
MenuItem also defines a
Clicked event.
The CellContextMenu demonstrates this technique. The
Command property of each
MenuItem is bound to a property of type
ICommand in the
Student class. Set the
IsDestructive property to
true for a
MenuItem that removes or deletes the selected object.
Varying the visuals
Sometimes you'll want slight variations in the visuals of the items in the
ListView based on a property. For example, when a student's grade-point average falls below 2.0, the
ColorCodedStudents sample displays that student's name in red.
This is accomplished through use of a binding value converter,
ThresholdToObjectConverter, in the Xamarin.FormsBook.Toolkit library.
Refreshing the content
ListView supports a pull-down gesture for refreshing its data. The program must set the
IsPullToRefresh property to
true to enable this. The
ListView responds to the pull-down gesture by setting its
IsRefreshing property to
true, and by raising the
Refreshing event and (for MVVM scenarios) calling the
Execute method of its
RefreshCommand property.
Code handling the
Refresh event or the
RefreshCommand then possibly updates the data displayed by the
ListView and sets
IsRefreshing back to
The RssFeed sample demonstrates using an
RssFeedViewModel that implements
RefreshCommand and
IsRefreshing properties for data binding.
The TableView and its intents
While the
ListView generally displays multiple instances of the same type, the
TableView is generally focused on providing a user interface for multiple properties of various types. Each item is associated with its own
Cell derivative for displaying the property or providing a user interface to it.
Properties and hierarchies
TableView defines only four properties:
Intentof type
TableIntent, an enumeration
Rootof type
TableRoot, the content property of
RowHeightof type
HasUnevenRowsof type
TableIntent enumeration indicates how you intend to use the
These members also suggest some uses for the
Several other classes are involved in defining a table:
TableSectionBaseis an abstract class that derives from
BindableObjectand defines a
TableSectionBase<T>is an abstract class that derives from
TableSectionBaseand implements
TableSectionderives from
TableRootderives from
In short,
TableView has a
Root property that you set to a
TableRoot object, which is a collection of
TableSection objects, each of which is a collection of
Cell objects. A table has multiple sections, and each section has multiple cells. The table itself can have a title, and each section can have a title. Although
TableView makes use of
Cell derivatives, it does not make use of
A prosaic form
The EntryForm sample defines a
PersonalInformation view model, an instance of which becomes the
BindingContext of the
TableView. Each
Cell derivative in its
TableSection can then have bindings to properties of the
PersonalInformation class.
Custom cells
The ConditionalCells sample expands on EntryForm. The
ProgrammerInformation class includes a Boolean property that governs the applicability of two additional properties. For these two additional properties, the program uses a custom
PickerCell based on a PickerCell.xaml and PickerCell.xaml.cs in the Xamarin.FormsBook.Toolkit library.
Although the
IsEnabled properties of the two
PickerCell elements are bound to the Boolean property in
ProgrammerInformation, this technique does not seem to work, which prompts the next sample.
Conditional sections
The ConditionalSection sample puts the two items that are conditional on the selection of the Boolean item in a separate
TableSection. The code-behind file removes this section from the
TableView or adds it back based on the Boolean property.
A TableView menu
Another use of a
TableView is a menu. The MenuCommands sample demonstrates a menu that lets you move a little
BoxView around the screen.

Sites and Sounds' explores future of 4 music-linked locations
A discussion of four sites linked to New Orleans' music culture and history — interspersed with musical performances — will take place on Sept. 21 at a public event called "Sites and Sounds at the Old U.S. Mint." The presentation is organized by Amber Wiley of the Tulane School of Architecture and is an outgrowth of a class Wiley taught last fall.
• A. L. Davis Park, a celebration site for Mardi Gras Indian tribes and brass band parades
• Dew Drop Inn, an important venue for African American live music from the 1940s–1970s
• The Magnolia Projects public housing, birthplace of several hip hop artists
• Brown Sugar Records, a store that reflects a time when music was locally promoted and distributed.
The event will feature R&B legend Deacon John Moore; The Paulin Brothers Brass Band; Littdell S. Banister, Big Queen of the Creole Wild West Mardi Gras Indians; Jamahl Washington, former owner and manager of Brown Sugar Records; and Bruce Barnes of the National Park Service, as well as Wylie.
The seminar that was taught by Wiley at Tulane highlighted the intersections of the built environment, cultural geography and music to create public history projects that were included onMediaNOLA.org, a project of the Tulane Communication Department.
The coursework applied research methodologies to gain an understanding of New Orleans neighborhoods as rendered by the production, consumption and communities of local music artists, says Wiley, a visiting assistant professor. "This research revealed narratives of hierarchical power, places of struggle, claims to territory, visibility (or lack thereof) and a sense of place."
The free event from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. at 400 Esplanade Ave. is supported by Tulane City Center, the New Orleans Center for the Gulf South and the New Orleans Jazz National Heritage Park.

A Green Beauty Entrepreneur On Her Skin Care Routine
As the founder of Ayla, a go-to retailer for pure, nontoxic, and results-oriented beauty buys, Dara Kennedy knows what's up in the green product world. She also gets to test out dozens of products before settling on the ones she deems effective enough for inclusion in her shop. Here's what she's digging for herself these days.
I've been fascinated by beauty products—skin care in particular—since I was 8. It's kind of strange given that I grew up in a family of academics and engineers, but there's something about the way beauty can combine science and art and culture that captured my imagination.
My beauty products have always held a place of importance in my day no matter what. (I've been known to tote disproportionately large bags of toiletries on hiking and mountain-biking treks across Morocco and Tanzania.)
I'm not obviously high-maintenance, though. I don't wear a ton of makeup or style my hair obsessively. Instead, I take what's probably best described as a nerdy approach to beauty.
I think of my products as tools I use to address what's going on with my skin and hair, and because of that, I really notice what they're telling me every day. Am I dehydrated? Stressed? Eating overly inflammatory foods? (All of the above, usually.) And I'll try to adjust my products as well as lifestyle factors, to the extent that I can, accordingly. It's sort of like doing fun, safe little experiments on myself.
For that reason, my beauty routine changes quite a bit. Here's what I've been doing lately:
I have two small children and, therefore, very little time to do much of anything! So my routine is pretty streamlined.
I usually take a two-minute shower using my favorite JM Generals x Ayla body soap, which almost feels like washing my body with lotion. You only need a little body moisturizer afterward (if at all), which is a nice bonus.
If I use it, I usually pick MyHavtorn's Body Oil, which is great for boosting elasticity.
I never wash my face in the shower. Dr. Macrene Alexiades-Armenakas taught me this, and it's the best tip for anyone with sensitive skin: it makes your skin far less red, irritated, and dry.
So I wash very quickly, using BioRecept Mousse de Peau and lukewarm water, at the sink. I love that cleanser because it's purifying but hydrating at the same time.
Then I'll apply an anti-aging serum (lately, I've been completely devoted to Luzern's Firming Collagen Booster, which I put around my eyes, too) followed by a moisturizer.
These days I've been using BioRecept's Bouclier Bio, which has a lovely texture and a simple, soothing formula, and it works beautifully under sunscreen. (I use La Defense SPF 30 from Luzern because it's very light and contains so many great anti-aging ingredients.)
My makeup is pretty minimal. I usually just swipe on a coat of Axiology's Reflection lipstick and The Organic Pharmacy's Mascara.
I've been trying to work with the natural texture of my (rebelliously wavy, frizz-prone) hair by avoiding heat styling. I was really inspired by the cool, bedhead-ish, not overly styled hair I saw in Paris this past fall. I'm not sure I rock that look as well as a chic Parisian does, but I try.
In the morning, I'll give my roots a quick little massage and scrunch in some Reverie MILK on the ends, which I recommend to pretty much anyone with frizzy hair. Because it's a lotion rather than an oil, it works well on dry or wet hair.
Then I race downstairs and try to eat something healthy in the midst of our family's morning chaos.
I consider my supplements to be part of my beauty routine, too: I take probiotics from Metagenics, fish oils from Nordic Naturals, and hyaluronic acid pills from Biocyte.
The probiotics and fish oils help keep my gut in balance, and the hyaluronic acid pills help boost collagen and plump up fine lines.
I like to go to the gym a few nights a week after putting the kids to bed. Aside from the physical benefits, a nice bonus is the fact that I get to take a long shower after since everyone is usually asleep!
I often start by massaging some Laxmi Triple M Oil onto my face, then letting the steam from the shower do its work.
I shampoo—usually with Reverie's NUDE shampoo, which gives a gentle but deep cleanse—and then condition with something really rich, like their NUDE conditioner or EVOLVh's UltraRepair Reconstructing Masque.
While that's sitting on my hair, I use my beloved JM Generals soap and remove the oil with a muslin cloth. I come out of the shower feeling as though I've had a mini-facial.
Then, I often apply Luzern's Serum Au Vin on my face to exfoliate, followed by several drops of MyHavtorn's Facial Oil on my face and neck. This product (which is rich in very fresh, potent sea buckthorn oil) works absolute wonders on sensitive skin.
My latest trick for my hair is to rake in a small dollop of Reverie's RAKE styling balm. Then I twist my hair in alternating directions, wrap it up in a Boucleme Curl Towel, and go to bed after meditating for 5 to 10 minutes (a practice I began last year that has, quite honestly, changed my life).
I wake up with cool, beachy waves and a much simpler morning routine.

Tseng battles illness in addition to a slump
PITTSFORD, N.Y. — Yani Tseng is hungry, literally and figuratively.
Tseng, the former dominant No. 1 who has fallen to No. 5 in the Rolex Women's World Golf rankings, has gone 29 tournaments without a victory since she won the 2012 Kia Classic. There was a time Tseng didn't go 29 days without a win as she racked up 13 LPGA titles and seven other professional titles in 23 months. That included four major championships, boosting her total to five as she became the youngest male or female to win five majors.
LPGA CHAMPIONSHIP:Stacy Lewis just focuses on wins
The slump has puzzled her as she tries and works through it. She said it has been frustrating to suddenly not be the player she was just last year when she won three of the first five LPGA tour events. And she said she misses winning.
"I still feel pretty confident about my game," Tseng said Tuesday at Locust Hill Country Club, site of the Wegmans LPGA Championship she won in 2011. "If I set up good, and trust my set up better, and trust my alignment, then I don't have to worry about my swing.
"I think it's getting very close and I am still positive."
Still, Tseng might not play this week. A sore throat which included swollen gums and pain in her tonsils sent her to a Rochester hospital on Monday. She also spiked a fever of 101. Tseng felt slightly better on Tuesday and played nine holes. The pain, however, despite being on antibiotics, is still with her. She feels pain when she smiles, laughs and especially when she swallows.
"I don't feel good this week," Tseng said. "I'm hurting really bad. I haven't tried to eat anything today — but I am very, very hungry. But it hurts to chew and swallow. But I have to eat because I need the power to play golf.
" … I can't eat. That makes me so sad."
Tseng said she'll rest, eat most likely a lot of soup and even some ice cream. She ate a banana during her practice round but it was a chore.
"I get frustrated with my body — but not my golf game," Tseng said. "It happens, the slump. I don't try to think too much about it. Hopefully I can get my body to feel good and get my concentration back."

William & Mary is as old school as old school gets, so naturally their sports teams are little traditional/racist. They need a new mascot and it's up to you to prevent (or ensure) that they become the Fightin' Asparagus.
For years, sports teams at W&M were known as the Indians, and later the Tribe, which is actually fair because the first iteration of the school was destroyed by angry Native Americans. A mere 400 years later, in a fit of poetic justice, the NCAA declared such nicknames to be wrong, so the school is taking suggestions for a new giant-headed foam costume to rally all the troops around. (The Tribe nickname will actually stay, but the feathered Indian logo has to go.)
The best suggestion so far: Asparagus, because when you cover it with cheese it matches the school colors. It also makes your pee smell funny, which should help the swimming and diving teams tremendously. Other, less interesting suggestions include: a beech tree, jester, Spartan (taken!), a sad bumble bee, and the mythical Phoenix. I guess a swishy, inbred monarch and his boring wife just don't inspire people anymore.
The deadline for submissions is tomorrow, which is also when athletic director Terry Driscoll will appear on First Take, presumably so Skip Bayless can yell at him about mascot enhancing headgear.

Any company not leveraging their own data to make business decisions is at a serious disadvantage in the Internet economy. There are countless examples of data driven businesses becoming leaders in their industries, and any company that hopes to achieve that goal should incorporate data-driven decision making into their day to day life.
For eCommerce and Online businesses it is much easier to measure and analyse data by the use of advanced technology, Data driven tools and Data Crunching software as everything is measurable when it is digital.
It is now very important for Online Retailers to understand their customer and segregate them at various levels (Demographics, Spending Power, Buying Pattern etc.). This segregation helps in targeted marketing resulting in overall growth and increased margins.
Similarly different Key performance Indicators or KPI's should be used to measure data to develop a pattern which ultimately serves in identifying the roadblocks at various levels. Basic KPI's such as Sales Key Performance Indicators, Marketing Key Performance Indicators, Customer Service Key Performance Indicators etc are a must have.
After setting the basic standards, Online businesses should look to dive more deep into data for understanding important analysis like Customer Retention, Customer Experience, Incremental Sales, Average purchase value, Product relationship etc
RJMetrics, a Philadelphia based Business Intelligence software startup helps eCommerce and Online companies to understand their data needs. Founded in 2008 by two colleagues, Robert J. Moore (the 'R') and Jake Stein(the 'J') at a private equity and venture capital firm, RJMetrics provide SAAS based BI or hosted BI software and is competing with Tableau Software, GoodData, Domo and others in the same space.
Still RJM has managed to break the ice and has secured $6.5 million in funding up till now including the latest round a week back.
Iamwire caught up with the Founder, CEO, Robert J Moore for his thoughts over use of analytics and data and necessity for these services for Online based businesses.
What is RJMetrics? What problem does it solves? Which all industries does RJM cater to?
RJ Metrics helps online businesses make smarter decisions using their data. We do this through a powerful hosted data warehouse that powers an online dashboard, which our clients use to extract deep insights from the data. We're currently focused on online transactional businesses, specifically within the online retail and SaaS verticals.
How important is analytics for e-commerce Cos? At what stage Online Companies should start thinking about analytics?
Analytics are the lifeblood of the modern e-commerce company. From marketing to merchandizing, data-driven strategy is the only way to ensure cost effective growth and predictable revenue in e-commerce. Companies who are at pre-launch, should identify which metrics will matter to their businesses, and what data should be collected in order to make those metrics available.
Where do you find, Cos face issues/challenges in starting / implementing an analytical function?
Recruiting the necessary talent to implement and interpret analytics has been a big stumbling block for companies. Now analytics based products have significantly lowers the barriers to building an analytics-driven enterprise.
What else do the companies (Cos) need, other than Software for a successful analytics function?
Companies need to be willing to incorporate data into their everyday workflows and decision-making processes. No amount of metrics can help a company that doesn't actually use them to make smarter decisions.
What is key consideration they must keep in mind before thinking of analytics?
Data collection is critical, which is why it's important to get started as early as possible. When in doubt, store as much information as you can about your customers, your prospects and their behaviour.
On which key areas should Cos learn using analytics?
Analytics can provide deep insights into customer lifecycle metrics such as customer lifetime value, cohort analysis, churn rate and repeat purchase probability. All of these metrics are critical to understanding the true value of your customers and the strategies that will allow you to grow profitably.
Can you specify 2-3 analyses that MOST of the companies miss and are very important? Also if you can highlight some important analysis and its use for e-commerce companies as example?
1) Repeat purchase rates: many retailers don't consider incremental purchases when thinking about the value of new customers. This can change customer acquisition models substantially.
2) The correlation between engagement and purchase probability: understanding how user interactions with your website correlate to purchasing behavior can help you encourage the right activities among your users to drive future sales.
We've built a site called cohortanalysis.com that provides a number of great examples of how cohort analysis can be used by e-commerce companies to make smarter business decisions.
Most of the companies start their analysis program with hunting for technology to do it? Is this the correct approach? How should a they approach its program, what are the steps involved?
This can be a common misstep. Instead, I would recommend that companies try to write down the exact problem that they are trying to solve. This will make it easier to compare different product offerings, and ensure that a real problem is being solved.
Who are your competitions, or other similar software's available in market? What advantage does RJM brings as a technology / Model for Cos over other software's available?
Our main competitor is an inhouse analyst, who is calculating metrics using SQL and Excel. We offer tremendous advantages in terms of cost, reliability and scalability when compared to this others.
Are their some ready ecommerce analysis frameworks available?
Out of the box, we provide a standard set of best practices that have been learned from industry leaders at hundreds of online companies. This is a proprietary blend of metrics that is constantly being updated to reflect the state of the art.
What is the typical Cost of Owning an Analytical function for online Cos? On what factor does the cost vary?
There are several products which allow this cost to drop considerably, because a full time analyst or data scientist is no longer a necessity. At RJ Metrics our package start at US $500 a month and scale upward with the number of customers that our clients have. That way, our clients only pay us more when they become more successful.

DoD to Continue Smallpox Vaccinations Despite Soldier Death
By Donna Miles
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, June 23, 2006 - The Defense Department has no plans to discontinue its smallpox vaccination program, despite yesterday's announcement that vaccinations may have caused a soldier's death.
A panel of military doctors concluded that vaccinations may have caused the death of Army Pfc. Christopher "Justin" Abston.
Abston received the smallpox and injectable influenza vaccines in November at Fort Bragg, N.C., and died suddenly in his barracks room 16 days later, on Dec. 4, Pentagon officials said.
His autopsy revealed an inflammation of the heart muscle, or "myocarditis." The smallpox vaccine is one of several known triggers of this condition. Evidence of another known trigger for the condition was found during the autopsy.
"Evidence of the vaccinia virus, the main ingredient of smallpox vaccine, was not found in his heart muscle, but evidence of a different virus, parvovirus B19, was found," a Defense Department release stated. "Natural infection with parvovirus B19 is another known cause of heart inflammation and death."
A panel of military medical experts determined it is "neither probable nor unlikely," merely "possible," that vaccinations caused Abston's death.
Abston is the only servicemember whose death has been linked to the smallpox vaccine. Of 1 million servicemembers vaccinated through the program, 120 developed myocarditis or similar conditions, but all others survived.
DoD initiated the smallpox vaccination program in December 2002 to protect servicemembers from the highly contagious smallpox disease, Air Force Lt. Col. Ellen Krenke, a Pentagon spokeswoman, told American Forces Press Service. The program is used to protect troops assigned to U.S. Central Command, U.S. Forces Korea, or designated units with homeland defense missions.
"The smallpox vaccine has been given billions of times to Americans and people all over the world in the last century," Krenke said. Hundreds of studies have assessed the vaccine, and DoD will continue to monitor the safety of the smallpox vaccine and all other vaccines it uses to protect servicemembers, she said.
Dr. William Winkenwerder, assistant secretary of defense for health affairs, expressed condolences to Abston's family and regret about his death. "Medicine remains an inexact science," he said. "And when we lose one of our soldiers, we recognize how much about medicine that we still do not know."

The META laser cutter platform features a unibody chassis design made up of a rigid single weldment that provides improved mechanical stability for the system, resulting in faster cutting speeds and better positioning repeatability. In addition, the cutting bed on META platform products has been enlarged to accommodate standard European sheet sizes (1.25m x 1.25m).
The control system has also been significantly upgraded to include an industrial type controller as the operator interface. This is an ergonomic monitor/keyboard assembly which is directly mounted on the side of the chassis. All interface cables for this system are now contained within the machine assembly, further enhancing its ruggedness and suitability for the increasingly industrial environments in which the platform is now being utilized.
Improvements have also been implemented in the META platform's software - a new, multilingual software interface, together with the implementation of greater system automation. Additionally, the system features automatic focus, advanced capacitive height sensing and a fully integrated machine vision system.

Hi there! As always, thanks for being here. I hope these posts are helpful to you in your journey with food. 🙂
When it comes to making peace with food (whether you're just starting, or in the process), there's a "phase" where you have to get to know yourself better in order to move forward. Here are some areas you may have to gain a better understanding of:
- Emotional eating– do you eat to cope with certain feelings or situations?
- Binge eating – do you have a cycle of bingeing on food to the point of discomfort and guilt?
- Hunger– are you able to listen to your body's hunger cues and signals?
- Cravings– do you know what you crave?
- Food guilt– do you feel guilty when you eat certain things?
- Diet mindset– do you have unrealistic diet rules?
- Food language– how do you talk about food.. is it bad or good/off limits/dirty or clean?
- Moderation– can you enjoy foods you love in moderation (example: a piece of cake at a friend's birthday without feeling the urge to binge)?
- Body image– how do you talk to your body? How do you dress your body?
- Self-love– do you take care of yourself, get quality sleep, make yourself a priority, add fun into your life, pamper yourself, and genuinely know what helps to keep you feeling happy and joyful (most of the time)?
- Overeating– do you find yourself overeating often?
- Self-talk– are you able to pump yourself up, encourage yourself, be kind and forgiving, use a positive mantra, or lift yourself up when you're down?
- Deprivation/restriction– can you see yourself maintaining the diet you're currently on 3 years from now?
- Presence– are you able to be present and engaged with friends and family?
- Unexpected events– does traveling, or a spontaneous event stress you out due to the food?
- BELIEF– do you believe that you can get to a place of peace with food? (even if you don't believe that quite yet, it's okay)
- Other habits– what habits with food (mindset, perspectives, exercise, nutrition, etc.) do you have that aren't serving you well?
- Lots of other areas!
I don't ask these questions to scare you, or to make you feel overwhelmed. I promise. I'm asking these to help you check in with yourself. Then, the learning and experimenting can come into place (when I was struggling with food I had to gain an understanding of my current relationship with food and then PICKED OUT one area to work on FIRST to decrease overwhelm).
Let's pick out one area today to start learning about. My question for you is:
Do you know when you're satisfied? When you've had enough food to feel content, peaceful, light, happy, good, okay?
- A lot of the women I work with say they will eat everything on their plate no matter what.
- Or, at a restaurant they'll eat the appetizers then finish their meal even though they were stuffed when it got there.
So, we've got to learn how to find the feeling of satisfaction. That's how you maintain a fit body without dieting – stopping when satisfied most of the time (we're human and when we overeat once in a while our bodies even themselves out).
PRACTICE. Here are some ways to practice this:
- Take a small portion of food to start (half a sandwich instead of a whole) knowing you can have more if you're hungry after.
- Get rid of distractions while eating (to the best of your ability) so you can HEAR your body telling you it's "good."
- BREATHE in between bites.
- POSTURE – sit up tall, relax your shoulders.
- PUT YOUR FORK DOWN in between bites (allow yourself to chew and swallow before grabbing your next bite so you can focus on the bite you have).
- Try to eat what you're craving… if your eating things because you "have to" all the time, then it will be much harder to find the feeling of satisfaction.
- If with friends or family, engage in the conversation… setting your fork down, looking up, breathing, asking questions, etc.
- MOMS:(I am not a parent, so this is just from experiences with clients who have children) – if you find yourself scattered and chaotic while your children are eating dinner, sit down with them while they eat and then give yourself a chance to eat at a time where it is less distracting (it will be way easier to hear your body's signals then). A mom I worked with said that she would eat dinner after the kids went to bed (otherwise she'd eat dinner by picking off her kid's plates, then overeat when they went to bed – so it made more sense for her to just dedicate her meal time to when they were in bed, but sit with them at the table while they were eating dinner).
Do you have to try all of these things at once? NOPE! I would encourage you to pick ONE and try it out for a week or two.
Are these a new set of rules you have to follow? NOPE! You can totally go with the flow on this. Simply by reading this email you're aware of these things… that alone can help you start to recognize your feeling of being satisfied.
With that, have a great day!
P.S. Make sure to sign up for my free, weekly emails for more in depth steps on freedom with food! Plug your email in the box to the right of this post. 🙂
