Tsunku (つんく, often written as つんく♂, born October 29, 1968) (real name Mitsuo Terada 寺田 光男) is a prolific Japanese record producer, songwriter, and vocalist.[1] Total sales of the singles he has written exceed 37.9 million copies, making him the fifth best-selling lyricist in Japan.[2]

|Associated acts
He is best known for having two major roles in the Japanese music landscape: first as the lead singer of the popular rock group Sharam Q, and now as the producer, primary composer, lyricist, and (until 2014) primary studio backing vocalist for highly popular idol group Morning Musume, in addition to Aya Matsuura and other associated idols under the Hello! Project banner, for whom he has written and produced the vast majority of their chart-topping hits. He has also produced music for other Japanese artists, including Ayumi Hamasaki's first number one single.[3] As his musical influences he cites The Beatles, Japanese popular music (especially kayōkyoku), American and European hits being played on the radio when he was a schoolboy, disco acts such as Chic, Kool & the Gang and Earth, Wind & Fire, and bands like Duran Duran and The Power Station.[1][4][5]
Personal lifeEdit
In June 2006, Tsunku married Kanako Idemitsu (出光 加奈子), a 25-year-old former model from Fukuoka.[6] The couple have fraternal twins (one boy, one girl) born in 2008[7][8][9][10] and one daughter who was born in 2011.[11][12][13]
Tsunku later worked with Nintendo and J.P.ROOM to create the music video game, Rhythm Tengoku. It was released for the Game Boy Advance exclusively in Japan on August 3, 2006, and later as an arcade machine on September 20, 2007. He also worked on Rhythm Tengoku Gold (Released in the US as "Rhythm Heaven" and in Europe as "Rhythm Paradise") for the Nintendo DS,[1] Minna no Rhythm Tengoku (Rhythm Heaven Fever in the US, Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise in Europe) for the Wii, and Rhythm Tengoku: The Best Plus (Rhythm Heaven Megamix in the US, Rhythm Paradise Megamix in Europe) for the Nintendo 3DS.
On October 1, 2006, it was announced that Tsunku had created a new company called TNX consisting of singers such as Ami Tokito and other people including Tatsuya Naka, a magician who appeared on Hello! Morning.
On September 26, 2007, Tsunku released a compilation album with the temporary title of "Sharam Q ~ Morning Musume" ~Tsunku 15 Years in Entertainment Commemoration Album~, containing songs by both Sharam Q and Morning Musume, and another one on December 5, 2007 titled Tsunku Best Work Collection, containing songs sung by Tsunku himself.[14]
Music composition and lyrical worksEdit
Hello! ProjectEdit
Tsunku is responsible for majority of the musical composition and lyrics in Hello! Project, noticeably for Morning Musume where all of their singles have ranked in the Oricon Weekly Singles Top 5 (excluding "Morning Coffee" and "Mikan"). Arranging is typically left to outside parties with track records in arranging popular anime and game music.
His works are mainly pop-oriented with catchy melodies and romantic, idealistic and sometimes even humorous lyrics, the latter in particular often being pitched to appeal to a young audience. However, many of the female vocalists who perform his songs have a large, dedicated fan base composed of older male wota, as well as male fans who are not wota, both of whom are usually in their twenties and thirties, and occasionally older. Some of his works in the late 2000s were particularly mature and hard-hitting (considering the ages of the girls singing them), such as the Morning Musume singles "Kanashimi Twilight, "Onna ni Sachi Are" and "Resonant Blue". Although his own work as a soloist and in Sharam Q tends to lean towards pop-rock, he is best known for working with various arrangers to create highly melodic, richly-textured sequencer-driven electronic dance music which often features synthesizers, as well as guitar riffs and solos which sometimes hint at hard rock or heavy metal influences (such as in Morning Musume's "Ambitious! Yashinteki de Ii Jan" and Cute's "Forever Love"). Typical vocal arrangements in the songs he writes for Hello! Project's groups tend to revolve around the members taking turns at singing lines and sometimes even small parts of lines in succession, building up to a chorus in which most (if not all) members sing in unison rather than using vocal harmonies; any harmonies that are present in the songs are often sung by other people (including Tsunku himself, who records his backing vocals so as to appear to sing "along with" the girls on their studio recordings during key parts of songs such as during choruses and on certain phrases, in a voice an octave lower than theirs). However, there have been some exceptions, such as the Morning Musume songs "Morning Coffee", "Furusato", "Memory Seishun no Hikari", "Love Machine" and "I Wish", where most (if not all) of the backing vocals were sung by the group's members themselves. Furthermore, in the past few years, it has become even more common for members of Hello! Project's groups to provide the backing vocals for their songs themselves.
Recent years have also seen Hello! Project moving in a new direction musically, with prominent elements of dubstep and electro being incorporated into much of their recorded output, resulting in songs which seem at times to be almost experimental in style, at least by idol music standards.
Nice Girl Project!Edit
Tsunku is also involved in Nice Girl Project! (NICE GIRL プロジェクト!).
2011 – presentEdit
As a result of the Japanese earthquake 2011, Tsunku wrote a song titled Love is here ~Kibou no Hikari~, dedicated to the victims. Tsunku is one of the many Japanese celebrities who have stepped up to support the victims and their loved ones.[15]
In March 2014, Tsunku announced on his blog that he had laryngeal cancer, which he found out after having throat surgery due to an unspecified condition. He also stated that he has been seeking treatment for it.[16][17] On April 4, 2015, Tsunku revealed that he had his vocal cords removed as part of his cancer treatment.[18]
In his memoir, Dakara, Ikiru, which was published in September 2015, it was revealed that he stepped down as Hello! Project's General Manager sometime after Morning Musume's New York concert that happened on October 5, 2014.[19] He still remains involved with Morning Musume as its Sound Producer.[20]
On May 4, 2020, Tsunku was among the 121 members of Up-Front Group to participate in a YouTube telework to support the frontline workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.[21][22][23]

A Novel Electrophoretic Method for Highly Specific Sequence Enrichment
Jason Thompson
Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of British Columbia
Rare mutations in cell populations are known to be hallmarks of many diseases and cancers. Similarly, differential DNA methylation patterns arise in rare cell populations with diagnostic potential such as fetal cells circulating in maternal blood. Unfortunately, the frequency of alleles with diagnostic potential, relative to wild-type background sequence, is often well below the frequency of errors in currently available methods for sequence analysis, including very high throughput DNA sequencing. I will present a novel DNA preparation and purification method that through non-linear electrophoretic separation in media containing oligonucleotide probes achieves 10,000 fold enrichment of target DNA with single nucleotide specificity, and 100 fold enrichment of unmodified methylated DNA differing from the background by the methylation of a single cytosine residue. This preparative method has the potential to expand the reach of existing analytical methods, enabling routine analysis of low abundance nucleic acids.

Which Spider-Man Costume Suits You?
Spidey's Many Outfits
If you'll pardon the pun, today you can determine which of Spider-Man's various getups would best suit you! Most of us are familiar with his traditional red and blue uniform, and perhaps his black guise, but there are many other styles he employs. Some even come with additional abilities to aid him in his crimefighting. Take our quiz to discover which befits you, and then feel free to browse the other results and see how many you recognize!
Your Suit
Which costume best fits you?
View your getup, and the others, below! How many are you familiar with?
You wear the traditional Red and Blue outfit. Your suit may not have many fancy features, but it allows for great agility, masks your voice, and serves as a symbol of your beliefs. You take a firm stand against evil, sacrificing your own time and happiness to better the world, but you have resolved that all conflicts can be ended without murder. You struggle with many moral issues and are unsure of whether the world should know who you are. Still, you've saved many lives in your career. Keep up the good work, webhead!
Symbiote (Black)
You don the powerful Black costume. You have fused with an ancient lifeform called the Symbiote. In you, it has gained shape, direction, and companionship. From it, you obtain increased strength, enhanced agility, and the ability to morph your suit into different forms. You are a formidable obstacle to crime, and you will end all evil that you encounter—permanently. Whether or not the Symbiote takes over your mind will depend on your strength of will and goodness of heart.
Iron Spider
You sport the futuristic Iron Spider suit. Your costume, a gift from Iron Man, provides various sensors, lowlight vision, armor, and gliding capabilities. Additionally, three retractable appendages, called "waldoes", are grafted to the getup, and provide extra tools to attack foes or grip surfaces. Your suit is slightly heavier due to its enhancements, but it still allows for considerable dexterity. Just be careful; rumors claim the outfit may be tracking you and sending data to Iron Man. Are the gossips true? And if so, can you safely wear your costume? Only you can determine these answers.
Stealth Suit
You harness the crafty Stealth Suit. This getup adds a variety of powers to aid you in your pursuits. It warps light and sound, which can render it completely invisible; this also provides a barrier against sonic attacks. The unique construction of your duds make it fireproof, and it can even repair itself. Some of these functions drain energy, so you must ensure your costume remains charged so it can fully serve you. Additionally, its enhancements attract attention from several ne'er-do-wells; take care it doesn't fall into the wrong hands.
You wear the sturdy and silver Spider-Armor. Though heavier than other costumes, it provides greater protection, allowing you to focus more on striking adversaries than dodging attacks. Donners of this getup tend to be carefree and confident; you believe your talents will carry you through any situation. Additionally, you likely have gone public with your identity, believing the public should know who you are. You and your costume are a mighty threat to crime, but keep away from corrosive acids—they can eat through your armor.
Blood Spider
You utilize the sly Blood Spider suit. Rather than webbing, your getup uses wires to immobilize enemies and transport you across areas. These wires shoot from your wrists, and are contained in a storage device you wear on your back. Though this method is less compact than some, it allows you to effectively mimic the webs of Spider-Man. Your rigorous training has created a fighting style similar to his agile techniques. You may copy his abilities, but you use them for different purposes - you serve only yourself, and will commit any evil to get what you want.
You wear the sleek Arachnoman suit. You aren't actually a superhero; you don this costume to play Spider-Man in television programs and movies. As a skilled actor, you accurately and dramatically create illusions of the real Spider-Man. Plus, your costume uses simple but efficient technology; you can shoot ropes instead of webs, and sticky pieces attached to your fingers mirror Spider-Man's wall-crawling skills. Your green-yellow color scheme, bulging eyes, and smooth design easily set you apart from the original webhead.
symbiot is my favorite and thats what i got!
I got the stealth suit one of my faves!!
i got black symbiote
I got the suit that i wanted!!it's the IRON-SPIDER
I got the classic suit - neat!
I wonder: would Dr. Reed Richards be able to analyze the Red-Gold suit (with 'Waldoes') and produce an equivalent -
possibly superior -
product for the wallcrawler to wear? I imagine that the colour scheme would be reworked to the Fantastic Four's iconic Royal-and-Navy blue, with shining silver 'Waldoes' for effect...what do you (Anyone and Everyone) think?
I got the classic suit, classy!
I got the Classic suit, which is always a great choice in my opinion. Maybe the Iron Spider suit or the stealth suit offer some cool upgrades and advantages, but they just make Spidey feel too much like Batman, I think. The Classic suit is easily recognizable the world over. It's a fantastic, yet simple, design and keeps Spidey's identity completely hidden. Great costume...and great list!

WEST LAFAYETTE - Lucas Eitel has been selected to be a Director of Development, becoming the sixth fundraiser in the history of Purdue University's College of Pharmacy. He will be the third active fundraiser, a first-time happening in College history.
Eitel will be joining Chief Development Officer John Dinkens, who provides oversight of the entire advancement team, and Senior Director of Development Dan Bolsen, who will provide day-to-day oversight of the position, on the fundraising front of the advancement office.
"Due to extraordinary generosity of our alumni and friends, the Purdue Research Foundation has now granted us a third gift officer. This will allow us to continue to grow our one-on-one engagement with the Pharmacy family on a regional and national scale. These expanded efforts to develop value-driven relationships will only enhance the mission and vision of the College to be bold leaders in pharmacy education and pharmaceutical sciences," said College of Pharmacy Dean Eric Barker.
Eitel comes to the College of Pharmacy from Enterprise Holdings. He managed an Enterprise car rental branch on McCarty Lane in Lafayette, Indiana, where a regional-leading 90% customer satisfaction rate was achieved. Additionally, Eitel ranked top three out of more than 200 employees in the state for "Additional Sales Revenue" generation.
Prior to Enterprise, Eitel spent four years with Campus Outreach at Purdue. He was tasked with leading a team to raise funds for their ministry work. Eitel personally raised over $200,000 (40% above goal), while helping his team achieve the $1,000,000 plateau.
"We are extremely excited to add Lucas to our team. He is a very genuine and passionate person, who Dan (Bolsen) and I believe will relate very well to our diverse set of alumni. I hope all of our Pharmacy family members will join us in welcoming Lucas to the College," said Dinkens.
Eitel is a native of Marshall, Illinois. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Bachelor of Arts in Mathematical Education from Indiana State University. Eitel, a Presidential Scholar, spent five seasons as a member of the Indiana State Sycamores Men's Basketball team. He helped lead the Sycamores to the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament in 2014.
Eitel's first day with the College will be Monday, June 24.

|Natsumezaka Shiki
|Personal Information
|Fallen Angel
|June 2nd
|Zodiac Sign
|Blood Orange
Council Treasurer
|Shiko Academy Student Council
Arlond Family
|Shikō Academy
|Anime debut
|Episode 1
|Japanese voice
|Daisuke Hirakawa
Shiki Natsumezaka is one of the heroes of Dance With Devils. He is the Treasurer of Shikō Academy and is the main love interest in the manga.
Shiki is a very handsome young man with short, messy purple hair, with long bangs that fall in front of his blood orange eyes. His eyes sometimes glow red before he uses a power. The right side of his bangs are noticeably longer, reaching his chin. Further, he has two very distinct sections of hair that curve up into horns at the top of his head, and they are very likely horns in reality.
Angel Form
He has four wings total, two on each side, making him a double-winged angel. His wings are pitch black, however, they likely were pure white before he became a fallen angel.
Normal Appearance
He wears the uniform of the Shikō Academy which consists of a blue blazer with the badge of the Shikō Academy and a white dress shirt (which is unbuttoned at the top) underneath along with a matching blue tie. He wears navy blue pants and brown dress shoes.
Battle Appearance
His battle appearance consists of very tight, form-fitting clothes, with a purple theme. He wears a tight, purple half-vest, that is light purple on the right half, and dark purple on the left; and which leaves most of his chest exposed. The right half has a long-sleeve that is tight around the arm, while the left half is a short-sleeve, with a pale purple ribbon tided down the rest of his arm. Beneath the ribbon, purple tattoos are slightly visible.
Across his chest are three, horizontal, pale purple bands, with a dark purple one coming across diagonally from his left shoulder, and two other light ones coming up from his waist in a V-shape. He wears a ribbon-like choker around his neck, that continues, and hangs loosely down his back.
His pants are tight, and grayish-purple in color with open, triangle-like motifs on the left leg. He also wears a black belt.
Shiki comes off as a strange, aloof person to most of the student body, and many claim that he's rarely seen at school, even during the student council's mass announcements.[1]
For the most part, Shiki acts and speaks mischievously, often with a smile and snide remark towards those around him. He's also extremely destructive, breaking and ruining Ritsuka's family painting and getting extreme enjoyment from doing so.[1] When Rem Kaginuki's father severely reprimanded his son, Shiki stood outside in the library with the other two, happily going into unnecessary detail about how much pain Rem must be in.
Despite his childish manner, Shiki's rather clever, capable of distracting the student council long enough for him to leave the library and search for Ritsuka at one point. He also doesn't hesitate to try and use Azuna Kuzuha as a 'shield' from Urie Sogami and Mage Nanashiro when they later pursue them, claiming that Azuna would know where Ritsuka is.[2]
He's insensitive of the feelings of others, and also appears to enjoy getting a rise out of people. When lashed out at, Shiki expresses great excitement, to the point where it nearly distracts him during more important moments. Consequently, his interaction with Urie and Mage are extremely antagonistic, as the two greatly dislike him as a fallen angel and frequently - and violently - lash out at him. He also has a hostile relationship with Roen, whom Shiki regularly torments by ripping off his fur or threatening his life, even to the point where he's nearly stabbed Roen with weed cutters; however,even being bitten by the dog appears to please him.
Although often troubling others, Shiki has a short, violent temper, leading him to leave others abruptly without any explanation. When extremely frustrated, he's seen ripping yellow roses on the school's grounds apart, not caring about the thorns scratching up his hands. When Ritsuka appears, he tells her to leave him alone, but quickly changes his mind after she pulls a thorn out of his hand, and claims that he wanted her to help him. During the interaction, Shiki's more aloof, blunt side appears. [3]
However, he is not above being serious when he must. He agrees with Urie that they can't trust Rem until he admits how he really feels about Ritsuka. This indicates that Shiki is capable of caring and being protective when the girl he loves is involved. Even if he expresses it in a strange manner.[4]
Shiki appears desperately looking for Ritsuka and is shocked and somewhat excited to learn that she is in the vampire castle. However, while he was excited because of his sadistic nature, he firmly, and seriously says that they can't allow the vampires to torment her however they want. He then joins the others in their attack on the castle. Once there, he confesses to Ritsuka that he loves her in the song "Crazy About You," saying that she makes his heart "sting and tingle." This shows that while Shiki is still a sadist, he is also genuine in his feelings for her, and that his desire to protect the woman he loves is stronger than even his own sadistic nature and masochism for painful occurrences. This points to the possibility that the angel in him is not completely dead.[5]
He fights to rescue Ritsuka, while still taking pleasure from the death cries of the vampires. In the end, he is saddened by but accepting of Ritsuka and Rem's relationship, seeing that it is real. However, before he leaves, he vows to return for her one day, expressing his hope that they could fall together. This indicates that his love for her remains, and that she will forever be the only girl for him.[6]
History Edit
Shiki lived in heaven as a pure angel (Cherub), until he had committed a sin, and as a result, he was cast out of heaven, and fell onto earth. The sin that he committed was that he killed his pitiful angel friend along with many humans that were supposed to be saved and angered God with that.
Because of his status as a fallen angel, his angelic blood makes him far more resistant to exorcism than devils are,[3] however, hymns and chants still greatly pain him[7].
Powers and Abilities Edit
Wings: He can spread ebony wings with ease in his normal and battle form. The feathers from his wings can be used as weapon to shoot at the target, as if they were as sharp as needles.
Song ChronologyEdit
| Released on November 25, 2015
Trivia Edit
- シキ (Shiki) is written in katakana, the possible interpretation include meanings such as "four seasons", "esprit du corps" or "time of death".
- 棗坂 (Natsumezaka) is composed of the kanji for: 棗 (a jujube / a kind of Chinese date (the fruit) and 坂 (which means "hill" or "slope").
- Shiki is a double-winged angel, making him a Cherub. In the Angelic Choirs, there are nine different rankings further divided into the First, Second, and Third Spheres. Cherubim are the second highest ranking in the First Sphere, tasked with guarding the path to both the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden and Throne of God. However, this has yet to be shown the case for Shiki's past.
- His character songs are Kyrie of Illusions and Renbin Yoranka.
- His color image is purple.
- His wings can actually cover his entire body, and can even fit others in it, when wrapped around.
- His favorite food is souls that have sunk into despair, fallen angels also have to eat souls just like devils.

- In the 2016 calendar of Dance with Devils, his months are May and June.
- In the game, he owns a phone.
- In his old true angel form he had blue eyes.
- He believes in God ( of course ) but believes him to be cruel, and unforgiving.

This boy will soon celebrate 13 years of being alive. And we will celebrate because when he was a toddler and a preschooler, I wasn't sure I'd be able to keep him alive for 13 years.
He was such a curious boy, always climbing and investigating and touching and tasting and experimenting. And I was a little distracted some of the time, what with carrying and birthing and nurturing and keeping alive his little brothers – 3 of them before he was 4 1/2. For a few years, that Curiosity killed the cat saying played on repeat in my brain, a taunting refrain. Especially when Caleb got really quiet. Because with kids, quiet equals trouble.
As a toddler, he figured out how to climb out of cribs and unfasten himself from car seats or high chairs. He could open that child-proof door handle thingy faster than I could! As a preschooler, he enjoyed sneaking into the kitchen and mixing together different foods to see what happened. Cracking eggs seemed to be his favorite. Experimenting with tubes of food coloring ran a close second. He devised elaborate string or yarn booby traps all over the house. And he became obsessed with creating a Duplo block boat that would float, so he was often overflowing the bathroom sink during his trial and error sessions. I suspect Caleb sneaked out of his bed and watched segments of Will It Float on David Letterman because he was often tossing items into the sink or bathtub or toilet to check their floatability — paperback novels, toy cars, toothbrushes, hairbrushes.
Clearly this genius child had the mind of an engineer or scientist! At least, that's how I consoled myself when his shenanigans threatened his life and my sanity — when he drank some medicine or stuck his finger in an outlet or climbed onto the top of the fridge or climbed onto the top of his crib and free-fell off (again and again and again).
When it came time to learn his ABCs, Caleb the genius wasn't all that interested. His big sisters and I sang the ABC song to him. We did alphabet puzzles and games and coloring sheets. We watched videos. I pointed out letters and sounds in signs and books. Caleb could not have cared less about learning his letters. Nobody in the history of the world has cared about anything less than Caleb cared about the alphabet. He had some powdered drink mix to snort and a bookshelf to scale. Letters schmetters. Whatev.
Perhaps he will be motivated to learn at least the letters in his name. Every kid loves his own name. I was a teacher. I would teach this kid to write his name. In big block letters, I wrote C A L E B then I wrote it again over and over in dotted-line letters for him to trace. He half-heartedly traced a letter or two before covering the page in elaborate drawings. He would draw detailed pictures of a house with an underground tunnel connecting it to a neighboring house or of fire-breathing dragons chasing a blue-jean-wearing boy. When he would bring the pictures to show me, he would tell me these incredible stories depicted by his illustrations. But absolutely none of his pictures had an artist's signature in the bottom corner because this boy had zero interest in learning to write his own name. No matter how many times I wrote his name in dotted-lined letters.
Then one day months later, he ran into the room where I was drying my hair. He tossed a Sunday School paper in front of me. In every bit of white space on that paper was scrawled C A L E B. "Who wrote this?" I shut off the hair dryer. "I did, Momma!" He beamed. "How did you know? Who helped you?" "Uhhh, you did. Lots of weeks ago. You showed me." Duh. Of course I had. But he hadn't practiced. He barely seemed to pay attention. But there it was in front of me — C A L E B. C A L E B. C A L E B. All over the page. Every letter perfectly formed in little boy manuscript.
He learned his ABCs the same way. All that time of not caring, then one day – BAM! he knew them all. Counting to 20, days of the week, months of the year, short vowels, long vowels — Caleb learned all of it in the same maddening way. Weeks and months of disinterest and none of it sinking in, then BOOM! perfect mastery.
I homeschooled him in kindergarten and the first half of first grade. Because I knew his style, I didn't push him to master reading and gain fluency. I figured I'd just consistently and repetitively teach him and read with him, then when it clicked he could move straight from those teensy Bob Books to Robinson Crusoe or something. And that plan may have worked if we hadn't enrolled him in a small Christian school.
Four days into the second semester of first grade, Caleb's first four days of traditional school in a classroom setting, a teacher told me Caleb was super sweet and a joy to teach, "but he's really so far behind the other children in reading. We may want to move him back to kindergarten." From that moment on, the phrases "you're behind the others . . . you need to catch up" became the refrain of Caleb's school day. His self-confidence balloon burst. Deflated and defeated, he began to say, "I can't read. . . . I'm behind everyone else. . . . I'm just not made for school." My momma heart ached. And the momma bear in me rose up. My husband and I went to the school to tutor him during reading class, and I practiced sight word lists and phonics with him at home. I countered every "I'm behind everyone else" and "I can't read." with "You are becoming a good reader." Over and over and over, I repeated this truth to him, "You are becoming a good reader." And I prayed for peace as we waited and worked during the Becoming.
By the end of second grade, all of Caleb's self-confidence was gone, replaced by a vicious anxiety. He cried easily, picked at his skin until it bled, hoarded food, had trouble sleeping and regularly complained that everyone was mean to him and nobody liked him. He often declared he would quit school and travel the world. Using an array of tests and assessments and some hours of observation, an educational psychologist evaluated Caleb and presented us with a 12-page booklet of results and recommendations. As it turned out, I had been right — my little boy was practically a genius, but the chasm between his IQ and his academic achievement in language skills was vast.
Between my ears and my brain something magical happens to break down a word into individual sounds. This helps me spell words, and it helps me read new words. Sound it out. That's what teachers had told me when I was little, and it's what Caleb's teachers and I had been encouraging him to do. Except that magical thing wasn't happening between Caleb's ears and his brain. He could break words into syllables, but that's it. He wasn't hearing individual sounds within a word. Sound it out meant nothing to him. Nothing except frustration and piled on anxiety. So we had to change the way we were teaching Caleb to read. The Sound it out way would not work.
The school was not willing to accommodate a different learning style. I highlighted a few ideas in the educational psychologist's booklet of recommendations that could be implemented at school and asked during one of our many conferences if they would consider making those few adjustments. None were implemented. Their solution was that Caleb should repeat second grade, even though he was mastering the math and social studies and science. But teaching him the same material a second time using the same technique that didn't work with his brain did not seem like a logical solution to me. That would be like repeating the English sentence slowly and more loudly to a person who doesn't understand a word of English. What's that Albert Einstein quote? — "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
So we made plans to homeschool Caleb for third grade. I researched various learning styles. I read about learning differences and disabilities. I bought a book written by a man who had overcome his dyslexia to become a professor and author. After reading it cover to cover, I showed Caleb — "Look! Some day, you will be able not only to READ a book like this, you will be able to WRITE a book like this if you want! If this man could do it, so can you!" My teacher-friends shared creative teaching ideas with me. Friends and family members who parent children with learning differences brainstormed ideas with me and pointed me to excellent resources. After reading about and researching strengths-based education, I evaluated Caleb's strengths and learning styles and developed a plan to teach specifically to his strengths.
I got this vision in my head. I believe God placed it there. I saw Caleb standing in a cap and gown, graduating from college, telling everyone, "All my teachers told me I was behind and couldn't read. I was ready to quit. But my mom believed in me. She told me I was becoming a good reader. She gave me time to become a good reader in my own way. She believed in me when nobody at school did." That vision motivated me to become Caleb's biggest cheerleader. That vision fueled hope within me. We would overcome this little speed bump.
That next school year, Caleb and I worked hard. He did jumping jacks while spelling words and reciting phoneme sounds. We tossed a ball back and forth while breaking words into syllables and sounds. He formed words out of clay, then built pictures of the words with the clay. He formed letters and words with beans or beads. He spelled words out with letter tiles. He hopped across the room while drilling sight word flashcards. Out on the basketball court, we wrote words in sidewalk chalk. He began to read articles and books about things that really interested him — hammerhead sharks, creepy bugs, magic tricks. He discovered the genius that is spell-check and proclaimed it to be his life-long friend! We learned some basic spelling rules, like "every syllable must have a vowel," then checked every written word against that rule until it became second-nature. Over and over, I told Caleb, "You are becoming a good reader now."
And he was becoming a good reader. Each week, we saw more evidence of the Becoming. As his strengths were acknowledged and his reading skills blossomed, his anxiety began to shrink. We replaced lying thoughts, "I can't read. . . . I'm not a good student. . . . Everyone is mean to me. . . . I am not as good as other people." with truthful thoughts, "I can read. . . . I can do hard things. . . Everyone has challenges. . . . Sometimes people are mean, but sometimes they are kind. . . ."
Education isn't a competition. There is time for everyone to learn his own way. That year of homeschooling removed Caleb from the perception of a learning race, where children can be behind other children.
That same year, Caleb and I discovered parkour. Have you seen this? YouTube it. In parkour, people run up ramps and jump over railings and leap from building to building. They run up the sides of buildings and then do backflips. If there is an obstacle on a sidewalk or trail, these guys will jump on it or over it or use it to launch a flip of some sort. Caleb became obsessed with parkour, and every trip to the playground or park involved parkour practice. And -LIGHTBULB! – I realized that education can't be a race because some people approach it like a marathon, straight ahead, steady paces, arms pumping at their side; but others approach it like parkour, leaping rocks, running up handrails, jumping from one platform to the next. And you just cannot compare marathon running with parkour. It's apples and oranges, people.
Once we tapped into Caleb's strengths and rebuilt his confidence, reading began to click with him. He asked for a big book of magic tricks for his birthday in the spring of third grade. The day after his birthday, he was performing magic tricks for us. He had read and understood the step-by-step instructions all on his own. He also asked for a biography of Ronald Reagan. Within a week, we were hearing all sorts of details about President Reagan's life. Caleb was becoming a great reader.
At the beginning of this school year, Caleb's middle school English teacher told me Caleb is always reading a book as soon as he finishes his work. "Has he always been an avid reader?" She wondered.
No, but he has always been becoming one. Even when it seemed everyone else was saying otherwise.

Background Thinkific Tuturiol
If You're currently selling Or thinking about selling online courses, you don't need to do much hunting to come up with a Thinkific review. There are loads of Thinkific reviews on the market. The main difference this one provides is that it is written by someone with: Thinkific Tuturiol
- More than 20 years expertise in the e-learning Business, with a specific focus on companies that sell schooling (compared to, for example, corporate training departments, That Don't have to convince their students to buy)
- Extensive experience designing, creating, and executing online course platforms (I had been the founder and CEO of an e-learning platform and path development firm.)
- More than a decade of experience tracking and researching online course platforms and helping organizations and individuals pick the right platform for selling classes
I have been closely Tracking Thinkific and other suppliers which have emerged as a new class of online course platforms within the past years. These are platforms which are more user friendly and less costly or LMSes. They're businesses that are looking to enter the course enterprise and a boon for solo edupreneurs. As time passes, I think they have potential to disrupt the learning management system market.
So, having said That, let's get started.
Click here to sign Around Thinkific.
Construction and Branding Your Online Course Web Site
Any classes you Sell have to"live" somewhere, and ideally that someplace provides an appealing, user friendly for the students and potential students. Since the introduction of its Website Builder capacities earlier this year, Thinkific is definitely up to the job. Thinkific Tuturiol
Using Site Builder — that is only a part of the admin board for the platform — you now have the capacity to prepare an attractive home page to your course site and create as many custom pages as you need (e.g., to give details about you and your other services). While you don't have total control — you can't, as an example, install your own style sheets (CSS) — you can get very excellent capabilities for changing branding components like colors and font styles and you may upload pretty much any type of pictures or media you would like to use.
Site Builder Comes with three topics and there are numerous variations for each one of these themes. (The company says more topics are part of the upcoming development program.) There are also a range of pre-fab"segments" you are able to insert and modify on any page to provide for matters like social proof (e.g. customer quotations or"as seen on" logos), calls to action, count down timer, and pricing choices — basically, all the critical tools you need for conducting a successful path or membership site. There's also a blank slate"media & Text" section which may be used to make pretty much anything you want.
As is the case With more or less any content management system, it took me a while to figure out how to do some basic things like delete segments (the themes provide a house page pre-populated with sections) and include custom pages to the website menu. However service was readily available for them. Thinkific has a solid support website on which you can search for help, but I tend to only use a Google search together with the word"Thinkific" to discover whatever I need (e.g.,"create custom website pages Thinkific"). I've yet to not find decent support using this method, whether on the Thinkific website or from a different user.
Some added Features to note:
- Customized URL (under Settings > Site) — By default, you're assigned a thinkific.com address — e.g., learningrvolution.thinkific.com. With a paid program (starting at $49 per month for Fundamental ) you can find a custom URL
- SSL (Under Settings > Site) — With any plan you have the choice to turn on SSL (secure socket layer), a best practice for virtually any Web site nowadays. (Google smiles on this)
- White labeling (under Settings > Site)– By leaping up to a Pro Plan ($99 a month) using the Growth Add-on ($.10 per active student/per month) you can easily remove the"Powered by Thinkific" speech on your site and courses.
- Text Dimensions (below Settings > Learning Content and various other areas) — You can change a great deal of the default language which is used in navigation and other regions. For instance, Thinkific utilizes"Chapters" as the tag for portions of a program. You may like to change this to"Lessons" Thinkific Tuturiol
So, you may be asking,"Can I use Thinkific for the primary Web website?"
For edupreneurs That are just starting off and do not already have a Web presence the response is an emphatic"yes." Using Thinkific is a great way to take a huge item off of your"to do" list (i.e.,"figure out how to find an adequate Web site setup") and concentrate on creating and launch your classes. It is possible to be concerned about a more complicated Web site after.
If you already Have an Internet site, however — particularly on a fuller-featured content management system like WordPress — I would not suggest relying on Thinkific (or any other route platform) for your primary Web site. Site Builder is great for what it does — and may create a fantastic course site to match your primary site — but finally it is relatively limited. Some of the key current constraints include:
- All themes are column. Therefore, for instance, you can not put email sign-up types, promotions for class, or other things down the left or right side of your website.
- As noted, you can not apply your own CSS (cascading style sheets), largely a limitation in the event that you really wish to reflect the branding of an present Web site.
- There's no control on search engine optimization configurations on Internet pages — e.g., you can not define the title tags or meta descriptions. You , however, do this on track landing pages, which is possibly more important for the average edupreneur.
- Thinkific lacks the abundance of plug-ins and the broad network of seasoned contractors who are available to support platforms such as WordPress.
Regardless of those Limitations, Site Builder is very likely to do the job well for most edupreneurs and is a little better than what most online class platforms supply.
Creating Online Courses with Thinkific
While you Definitely need an attractive, user-friendly site to house your courses, the courses themselves are the main attraction. As you may expect, this is an area where Thinkific really shines.
To start with, the Platform provides a variety of pre-configured templates which can be very useful to course builders looking for assistance with how to arrange their content. The templates cover the range of standard scenarios you would be likely to think about for supplying an educational product. All these are:
- Blank — Start new and build your own course to match your specific curriculum needs.
- Mini-course — Use a free or low-cost mini-course to create leads for a complete flagship program or service.
- Flagship Course — Build a full online class using a strong curriculum outline created using best practices in your mind.
- Pre-sell — Produce a pre-sell landing page and start building a waitlist to judge interest on your program.
- Digital Download — Host downloadable documents in an online course to create revenue or collect email addresses.
- Membership Resource Library — Host downloadable resources to be included in a membership bundle for this template.
- Webinar Replay — Host your webinar replay video to permit registrants to assess your presentation and provide.
All these can Be modified extensively — you can change the content in the segments which are supplied, delete sections, or add new segments to arrive at the approach that's right for your content. All throughout the procedure, Thinkific provides"smart mentor course building hints" to assist you. (I found them helpful, but they may be easily switched off, should you would like.) Thinkific Tuturiol
If you have zero Experience working with Internet content, there will inevitably be a small learning curve, but my view is that Thinkific has done a fantastic job making that curve as manageable as possible. Invest in making your way up it, and you'll reap the benefits.
And you are Already comfortable with other Web content programs — such as, by way of example, WordPress or another course platform — I believe that you will find operating in Thinkific for a breeze.
The logic, overall Of putting together a class in Thinkific makes sense. After selecting"New Course," picking your path type, naming it (which you can change at any point), and saving it, you add"Chapters" (or modify ones already in the template) to create the structure of the program. As mentioned above, if you do not like the term"Chapters," you can change it to anything you prefer.
You fill the Chapters with content in a way. There are 11 choices:
- Video classes — Upload a file. (This gets stored in a video library for re-use in different courses. Videos stored in this library are protected from access by anyone who is not a registered user of your site.)
- Classes — Create a quiz for your students. (More information on quizzes below)
- Multimedia lessons — This can be a way to link out to content not hosted on Thinkific and make it an integrated part of your course. Some of the possibilities include:
- Webinar tools (supply the URL to a live Zoom session, for example)
- Surveys (e.g. Typeform)
- Appointment booking tools (e.g. Calendly)
- Presentations (e.g. Prezi)
- Google Docs
- Articulate Storyline and Adobe Captivate files (Requires Pro or Enterprise license. More about that below)
- Text classes — Combine text, images, videos, etc. into a single lesson. This is essentially the equivalent to"Text & Media" Site Builder option discussed previously.
- Survey lessons — Collect information/feedback from the pupils by building a short survey in Thinkific.
- PDF classes — Upload a PDF document to be viewed within the program participant.
- Disqus lessons — Add Disqus discussion boards to your program. (Note: there's also a discussion alternative built into Thinkific which you can turn on or off under Support Your Students > Discussions.)
- Audio classes — Upload an audio file.
- Downloads — Include resources available for download from inside the course player.
- Presentation classes — synchronize a demonstration as record audio and a PDF file for each slide.
- Classes — Include a Brillium exam on your program. (A Brillium license is separate from Thinkific and begins at $49 per month. More on this below.)
The above Choices Will find the job completed for all but the edupreneurs. The primary areas they fall short is in
- Providing for branching scenarios — i.e., enabling learners to move down different paths based on their performances in the course or information you gather about them — and
- Like studying games inserting interactive elements.
If those are Options you truly need, you'd be better off using a full-blown course authoring tool like iSpring or Articulate Storyline (see more about these kinds of tools here). Thinkific Tuturiol
Use of Articulate and Captivate in Thinkific
Many course Creators will be content with using the resources in Thinkific to make classes, but some might prefer the option of producing their courses with third-party e-learning class creation software such as Articulate Storyline or even Adobe Captivate.
Basically, using a Third party tool is an alternative to seriously think about if you (a) currently have a significant number of courses built out in these applications (in which you probably don't need to have to re-create them utilizing Thinkific course creation tools), or (b) you expect developing a substantial catalogue of lessons with a comparatively long"shelf life" — in which case you may not wish to have your courses locked into a particular delivery stage.
These can be used by you Kinds of tools with Thinkific — Articulate Storyline and Captivate are encouraged — however there are some limitations you should be aware of if you go this path.
First, Thinkific (like all other platforms in its own course ) hasn't implemented SCORM, which stands to the Shareable Content Object Reference Model. There is a whole lot to SCORM, but the principal thing for edupreneurs to know is that it provides criteria for how an internet course can communicate using a learning platform to deliver it information like how long a learner has spent in a program, or whether particular parts of the class have been completed successfully. Thinkific monitors this kind of data using its own methods. (More about SCORM here.)
Secondly, you cannot Import an Captivate or Articulate course into Thinkific all on your own. These courses are made up of more than one file (such as, as an example, a video file), so to get them inside the platform, you need to zip the files up and send them to Thinkific customer service.
The Best Features and How They Benefit You
An excellent Online course construction platform offers you. Including the promotion, the promotion, the training course construction, and also the teacher/student management.
Systems such as Thinkific don't host classes . Your articles is really hosted with Thinkific (so that you do not need to venture outside and find your personal hosting,) but it gives you complete control on what your site looks like.
In comparison to Systems such as Udemy, Thinkific certainly provides branding management and more freedom. Let us explore a few of the standout features.
Click here to register Up to Thinkific.
Excellent Student Management and Communication Modules
Within my Thinkific review, I noticed the smoothness of the student communication tools. It's a visual pupil management area, together with images of your students, titles, contact information, and details for how far they are on your program.
You have the Choice to send customized emails or create a conversation. Thinkific Tuturiol
Incentives are A part of this learning environment because Thinkific offers report cards, completion certificates, and throughout classes, the emails for sending out just about anything you want of course.
In addition to Unlimited replays of language controls, course content, and optimization, pupils working with the Thinkific platform ought to feel right at home.
A Mostly Drag and Drop Editor for Quick Course Design
Section of this Reason Thinkific looks so great compared to this competition is that of its course designer. If you don't want to, you do not need to mess with any code.
In Reality Your content is coordinated with a simple drag and drop editor, in which you pile the course content and move it about .
Speaking of Content, Thinkific supports uploads of all media forms. By PDFs to audio files, and surveys to quizzes, the stage is great for offering up a vast range of learning resources for your students.
As we mentioned Before, all of these files are hosted on the Thinkific servers. For this reason, you should not need to worry being too big or running slowly on your own shared servers.
When you personalize Your course site it features some handy editing tools for the beginners out there. You can adjust items like color schemes banners, and logos without touching any code.
The further, however Developers have complete control over the HTML and CSS. So, if you would like to make your site unique, the option is there for you.
Promotions on Autopilot
Some online course Platforms fail from the promotions arena. Since there's no way to start earning money unless people know that your course 19, this is unfortunate.
Thinkific does It the ideal way, with promotional and marketing instruments built into the app. Much of this is automatic as well. So, if you want to trickle articles to your students–in which courses would be published over the years –Thinkific has this functionality. Thinkific Tuturiol
Furthermore, you Have the ability and send emails that are automated based on a program. Pricing is done through Thinkific, in addition to the option to become paid immediately when somebody signs up for your program.
In Terms of becoming People beyond your website to come try it out, Thinkific includes an affiliate marketing program to reward bloggers. Coupons are supplied through Thinkific, giving you a chance to create ads with specials and convince newcomers your class is well worth investing in.
Everything from Vouchers to affiliates is tracked directly in the dashboard, and you could join your Adwords, Facebook, and other accounts where students are coming out of to determine.
Handling, Engaging, and Supporting Students
Aside from One of the key reasons for utilizing a online class platform is that it creates managing and monitoring your users and their information a lot easier.
Communicating with Learners
In addition to Assisting you to organize your students, Thinkific also enables a number of ways for you and your students to communicate and also for them to give comments on the course. Thinkific Tuturiol
As noted, By way of instance, you can empower discussion for your classes and then manage your students gifts under Service Your Students Discussions, where it is possible to sort discussions by course, respond to pupils, and — if desired –"Disapprove" contributions that you don't wish to show up in the program. (Note: Letting talks is currently a nothing option in Thinkific — i.e., possibly all classes have no or it courses have it. The workaround for this is to utilize the Disqus option on a course-by-course basis.)
You can also Enable your student to submit testimonials for your courses. Then you have the capability to approve these testimonials (they are not published automatically) and utilize them as social evidence on your earnings page for the program. Unlike talks, this feature can be enabled on a course-by-course basis.
There are A number of notifications that could be disabled or enabled at the Thinkific platform, a few of which can be personalized. You can, for example, send a message if your website is registered for by them to students, register in a particular course, or finish a program. You can also send out reminder messages. (Note: Reminders are site-wide, not course-specific.)
Managing and Organizing Learners
To Begin with, When an individual signs up in your site, Thinkific captures all their key contact data (e.g., first name, last name, e-mail) and utilizing custom log-in fields (under Preferences > Orders & accounts) you can easily add fields to capture whatever specific information you want from your own users. (Note that, unlike platforms such as Udemy, you get complete access to the user information you collect.)
You can also Organize users into classes. This apparently simple feature can have a big impact on your business model by making it feasible for you to sell courses in bulk to associations — among the best ways for course sellers to induce revenue growth that is major , in my experience.
You, groups Can also easily arrange your learners by other variables, or organization, or cohort, time, registration, job-type, which makes it feasible to enhance your marketing and to track the efficacy of your offerings with each group. (Note: Use of the Groups attribute requires a Guru program license with the Development Add-on.) Find out more about the Thinkific Groups performance Thinkific Tuturiol
Tracking and Reporting
A Vital motive to Have a technical class platform — to posting articles behind a password on a Web site as opposed, for instance — is it is going to monitor things like path progress and conclusion in addition to quiz and survey information.
Thinkific's Progress tracking (under Support Your Students > Progress) enables you to pick a particular student and track numerous variables for each course in which the pupil is enrolled. For every course you may see:
- Percentage of Course of Viewed
- Percentage of Course Completed
- Student Name
- Student Email
- Course Completed in (date)
- Course Started at (date)
- Course Activated at (date)
- Last sign in (date)
- Business
I enjoy this you May opt to reset a student's completion percentage at any time if you are adding new lessons.
Overall, the Course coverage is fairly basic, but I guess it'll serve the needs of the majority of course entrepreneurs.
Contrary to the course Reporting, the quiz and survey reporting is exported into a .CSV document (rather than displayed on screen) and emailed to you. The .csv file contains the responses from all students who have obtained a questionnaire a quiz e-mail address, together with their name, and if it was taken by them. For quizzes, it also provides the number and percentage .
Overall, reporting For both quizzes/surveys and courses is among the areas in which the Thinkific system might be stronger. In fairness, this has a tendency to be true for pretty much of most the platforms in this class of platforms. Over time, it would be possible to get quiz/survey data and course completion through a Web interface. Better still, it might be good to have the ability to see a student transcript that shows hours related to a course, any credit earned (not currently captured in any way in Thinkific), and a URL to download the certificate associated with the program. Thinkific Tuturiol
What Thinkific is currently Missing
Anyone who has Been operating in the e-learning industry for the past couple of years (as I have) will realize that Thinkific offers a remarkable range of features at a really reasonable price. It wasn't long ago that a system with these capacities may have cost thousands of dollars per year.
With that in mind, It is hard to assert that Thinkific is"missing" much. There are openings which will rule out it for some class sellers — and these tend to be gaps which are characteristic of the category of platforms. The main ones that I see are:
No support for SCORM or xAPI/TinCan
As mentioned previously, While Thinkific may host and deliver classes created in common authoring tools such as Articulate and Captivate, it doesn't really take advantage of the SCORM (or even xAPI/TInCan) packaging capabilities of these programs. If you have a robust and valid reason for using one of the significant standards, Thinkific would not be the way to go.
Like I Are areas which aren't served by additional programs which are in Thinkific's class. To get a platform which supports all three generally means a price point than Thinkific — and it could go a lot from there. Be sure that these are openings for you before ruling out Thinkific.
No continuing education credit capacities
While you can Indicate the estimated variety of hours for finishing a class in Thinkific, you cannot define the total amount of continuing education available for a program. While There Might Be work-arounds, for many course suppliers that focus on providing continuing education credit, this will be a Substantial barrier to using Thinkific, Thinkific Tuturiol
No multi-tenancy option
Multi-tenancy Means that you can make and manage multiple instances of a stage under a single umbrella. This can be handy if, as an instance, you're a training company that has many corporate clients and those customers want their branded instance of this platform for managing and serving their customers. While the Group functionality in Thinkific gets you part of the way there, it is not the exact same matter as multi-tenancy.
Although I To discover an online course platform which has hidden fees, Thinkific advertises that it also has no hidden fees or contracts. That's very good to know, but nothing special.
However, Thinkific Does offer a plan that is totally free for people who want to test the stage out but not get bogged down from limitations. In theory, it helps you launch your shop and begin building a student base. There's also a free trial if you give a whirl to one of the more advanced plans.
The pricing is Broken up into four simple plans:
Starter — $0 for many core Thinkific capabilities. This strategy has a 10% transaction fee, everything you need to create, promote, and market your classes, unlimited courses, class upsells, content hosting, fundamental integrations service, and instant access to all capital.
Essentials — For $49 a month you get all core and newcomer features, together with a 5 percent transaction fee, coupons and promotions, monthly subscriptions, class bundles, intermediate integrations, fundamental Zapier, drip content, affiliate coverage, a majority student emailer, custom domain, and extra course rates. Thinkific Tuturiol
Business — For $99 a month you receive the features from all prior programs, no transaction fees, completion certificates, personal and concealed courses, website white tagging, a host storyline, intermediate Zapier, webhooks, three-course admin accounts, innovative HTML/CSS editing, priority support, teacher payout coverage, an onboarding call, payment strategies, along with a direct Infusionsoft integration.
Advanced — For $279 per month you get all features from previous programs, no transaction fees, one sign-on (SSO), three site admin accounts, 10-course admin accounts, an onboarding professional, onboarding package, people API, advanced integrations, and advanced Zapier.
Thinkific has some Fantastic benefits to its pricing layout. Not only are you able to start your course at no cost (something that's not offered with competitors like Teachable,) but the additional 3 plans are broken down into a reasonable manner.
After all Most probably don't need API accessibility until you start becoming advanced with your course promoting.
I would not mind Seeing the completion certificates as well as also the HTML editing in the Essentials plan, but $99 per month still is bad.
As you can see, The trade fees are 10% for the free plan. That is high, but it creates an environment for anyone who have low quantity or individuals who do not have the upfront capital. You'll be able to reduce that transaction fee once you start earning money.
You can By paying on an yearly basis Save money. If you cover it all upfront, the snowball strategy goes to $39 a month. The company plan is $79 a month and the Advanced program is $219. That makes the pricing programs quite much like Teachable.
I will end this Thinkific review at which I began: this is. Hopefully it is clear by now that it supplies your average edupreneur to be supported by a range of the essential features in selling classes.
I think it is Important to repeat as I wrap up that Thinkific is a business with a lot of momentum. This is certainly not a trivial point: the market for online course platforms like Thinkific is currently crowded and noisy. You can be sure that a lot will be gone. I feel confident that Thinkific will be around, and the company is clearly growing and always investing to improve its own platform. Thinkific Tuturiol

Fitbit Charge 2
Fitbit's #1 selling tracker now has more to love
Would you recommend this product?No reviews yet
Did you guys fix the issue with the strap? Mine is in a terrible condition as it pealed off - I think the glue that you guys are using for Charge 1 isn't really reliable.

@murryivanoff We went through five of those. If they even barely get wet they come apart. The fact that Fitbit would so readily keep replacing them was a sign that it was a serious design flaw.

@murryivanoff Sorry to hear about your experience. Contact Fitbit support about fixing your Charge 1. Charge 2 features a new design with replaceable bands. You can see how the bands now attach above in the video around the 1:20 mark and in the backside image.
@murryivanoff I had a similar problem with the Charge Hr back cover. It came off as I unplugged the charger. I glued it back yesterday, without issue, but wondered if anything might melt when Iapplied it. So far so good.
@murryivanoff gear fit 2 from Samsung strap is very nice. Value for money.
The most popular fitness wristband from Fitbit just got better. - Sleek, new design: The modular design and easy-to-read tap-sensitive display is four times larger than Charge HR, letting you personalize a look that fits your style with interchangeable bands and clock faces – while keeping you connected with the smart notifications you need most. - Get a snapshot of your cardio fitness level: Automatically find out how fit you are with a personalized cardio fitness level and score, based on your estimated VO2 Max, that are calculated using your user profile, heart rate and exercise data. Plus, get guidance to take action and improve your score over time by increasing exercise frequency, intensity, or by reaching a healthier weight. - Relax with guided breathing sessions: Charge 2 offers a relaxing mindfulness experience that calms your body and mind through personalized deep-breathing sessions called "Relax". The beat-to-beat changes in your heart rate determine your personalized breathing rate for each experience. Two- and five-minute sessions display real-time heart rate visualizations, animations and vibrational cues to help you align each inhale and exhale with the guide, and find moments of calm throughout your day. Research has shown that developing a long-term guided breathing practice can have health benefits that include reducing stress3 and anxiety4, and lowering blood pressure. - Enhanced fitness experience: Get real-time, actionable exercise stats right on the display so you can make instant adjustments during your workouts and improve over time. - Multi-sport modes: Track specific workouts like runs, bike rides, weights, yoga and more, plus get post-exercise summaries and a detailed report of your activity in the Fitbit app. - Connected GPS: Links your fitness wristband with the GPS in your smartphone to provide even more precise and actionable real-time stats, like pace and distance when you're running, while recording a map of your route in the app.

@jeremiahlee Does it have better QA? I returned my Charge HR 3 times before giving up on them.

@jeremiahlee I love the instant workout updates feature.

@jeremiahlee On the compare page, it says it doesn't have GPS. Maybe there's a difference between GPS and Connected GPS? At any rate, was just thinking about getting one, so I ordered. Thanks!
@jeremiahlee Thank you!
Fitbit hords your data and virtually kidnaps it, as they don't want to integrate with Apple Health Kit. A deal breaker here. Around 3300 votes for this in the Fitbit community and no answer since 2014. https://community.fitbit.com/t5/...

@jan_sapper That's why I like how Garmin does it. I can share my data with Tapiriik.com, which can then share with Runkeeper, Strava, and more.
@jan_sapper Fitbit does not sell user data and has no incentive to "hoard" your data. For perspective, Fitbit has more than 16 Million active users and only a few thousand have requested this feature. Fitbit offers free data export to CSV, Excel, and TCX formats, as well as a free Web API that's used to power many third-party integrations. Some of the best integrations—like Strava, IFTTT, and MyFitnessPal—are listed at https://www.fitbit.com/partnership .

@jeremiahlee it would be okay if SyncSolver got hourly Fitbit data via your API, but they can't
@jeremiahlee @jan_sapper Yeah, but neither does Apple's HealthKit sell my data. They remain on the device and allow me to exchange data between a variety of fitness/health-related devices. The argument that out of "16 million active users only a few thousand" have requested this feature doesn't hold up as you didn't actively ask all of those 16 millions. You have to change your perspective on that. Users have to have the intrinsic motivation to sign up and search your messy support forums to find the request a feature section. This obstacle will let you lose more than 99% of your user base. And honestly the fact that a few thousand request this very feature would bother me.

@boettges @jeremiahlee Thanks Peter, that's exactly what I was going to answer here. Anytime I see someone using FitBit I recommend them to switch fast, as an island of data is useless if you can't put it next to each other. For example I can't make a correlation of my weight with my sleep quality... Aria, such a malinvestment. Withings should have been the reasonable option.
Looks like a great update. Congrats on the launch! Does the Charge 2 sync with Apple Health?

This looks great but they lost me as a customer almost 6 months ago. I had an HR, the strap ripped (as many customers have complained about) so they replaced it. The replacement broke within 3 months. I contacted support, they said the band issue was completely fixed and replaced it again. Repeat 3x more and now I have a broken band and a coupon to buy another fitbit. I'll be switching to the Apple Watch come September. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@manikrathee I genuinely hope you find a product that works for you. FWIW Charge 2 features a new hardware and band design.
@manikrathee ~just an FYI, I had to REPLACE 4 different Apple iPhone 4S, so IMO most all products have their quirks; hence, technology is a CONSTANT - "Work in Progress" :)! Remember, most Humans have <3> https://gfycat.com/ShockingRevol...
@manikrathee My fitbit charge broke also (just barely after the warranty expired), so I bought an Apple Watch. And the build quality is definitely better and I really expect it to last a while. But as a fitness tracker, it's pretty lacking in comparison and I'm finding myself missing my fitbit.

DENVER (CBS4) – The federal government has announced that it will be cracking down on the medical marijuana industry in California, and supporters and opponents of medical marijuana in Colorado are paying close attention.
Late last week California's four federal district attorneys announced that they will not allow large-scale, for-profit enterprises in the name of medical marijuana. (Full Story on CBSSacramento.com)
Colorado, like California, is one of 16 states where medical marijuana is legal under state law. Colorado also has one of the biggest medical pot industries in the country and so far the entanglement of federal and state rights over pot here hasn't been too strong.
Brian Vicente, a spokesman for Sensible Colorado, told CBS4 he's not sure how much Colorado might be affected by what's happening in California.
"It was certainly very alarming," he said. "It was one of the more bold and aggressive statements we've seen from the federal government on the issue of medical marijuana."
Vicente said that landlords who are looking to rent out their spaces to medical marijuana businesses might be less likely to do so now. There might also be some new fears for registered patients in Colorado.
"For patients that are concerned that if they go into a store the federal government could show up, it's going to give people pause," Vicente said.
Sgt. Jim Gerhardt of the Colorado Drug Investigators Association told CBS4 he hopes this is the beginning of a domino effect.
"Professionally, I'm very pleased that they're taking this action," he said. "We would like to see more states engaged, including Colorado, in this exact same framework."
California's regulations are different from Colorado's, but Gerhardt thinks momentum may be building for a widespread re-evaluation of medical marijuana dispensaries and the way they involved are prosecuted.
"If there is a crackdown in Colorado at some point in time, from my point of view, it could put the entire industry out of business," Gerhardt said.
Remember Obama's declaration to NOT use federal funds to go after the MMJ users and providers in states whose citizens had voted to make it legal??? I remember. There is a ground swell of others who will also remember that he has broken that declaration-come the next election.
The US Attorney General's office comes directly under our President. He can stop this and place our resurces where they are badly needed elsewhere. But it seems like those who've gone before him, he had become just another politician. I worked for his election and voted for him. He has now lost my vote!!!
It's a ploy by the Federal Government to try and figure out a way to have total control over the industry they will partake in after finding out how well states have done so far with collecting taxes and fee's they want all the money much like prohibition marijuana will be legalized by the federal Governmnet once they have all their ducks in a row I'm not a proponent or an oponent I'm just saying watch and see
drug investigator how about major ass hole Gerhardt should have a partial sex change so he can be self-serving…..
I would like to know the real reason for this. They never gave a solid reason. Are the pot stores doing things they should not be doing? That would be my thought.
that's okay – the drug gangs will be happy to step up.
Im sick and tired of NMDTF sending out their best looking "model" type officer to brainwash our thinking. I'm so focused on Gerhardts good looks that I can't even hear the news story!
nEXT THING THEY'LL WANT IS TO REWRITE OUR CONSTITION! like the man is saying;IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT LEAVE!
cp and all the rest of you simple minded fools should just stick your heads in the sand and leave well enough alone. the federal govt. has no right to tell states what they can and can't do. to deny cancer patients or anyone with chronic pain any type of relief is crimminal. the first time thease federal fools have someone with a terminal illness close to them beg for some relief, will they then say it's allright?
Yes great news. Lets let the federal gov run rough shod over states rights. The feds can't pay their bills and we have a skyrocketing unemployment number. The real number not the one that is being manipulated prior to being released and they want to put a whole industry that employs people and pays enormous amount of taxes. out of business
There are some people who actually have physical problems, can't afford insuramce, and can't find full-time work with benefits. Also, the medical marijuana industry is the only industry in Colorado that's growing, creating jobs, and is heavily taxed. Your compassion is underwhelming, CP. Also, you can move to a state where you wouldn't have to worry about this 'scourge'.
GOOD NEWS!!! Stamp it out! It is a scourge.
what right do you have to tell me what to do????????
