| Spring and summer have been so nice even with the hot weather this month, it has been hard not to take advantage of the Central Mass Rail Trails. I took this picture at the entrance to the West Boylston Rail Trail located off Route 140 just south of Sterling and the 190 Interchange. It is about a 4 miles walk along and across the Quinipoxet River. Along the way, visit the self-guided tour of the Springdale Mill Site. The mill was booming a century ago using the river as power and manufacturing woolen cloth. | In This Issue | |||

Sitting on Your Butt Reduces Life Span? Could that be true? I am in deep trouble!! Are you? It seems that the American Cancer Institute has studied more than 100,000 people and found that if you are a female and sit for more than 6 hours a day, you are 40% more likely (20% for men) to suffer from cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes and depression as compared to those who sit for 3 hours or less. This does not change with the amount of exercise you do when not seated. So what can you do? Here are some options (click on either to read more on Amazon): The Treadmill Desk and the The Balance Ball Chair (Also good for improving posture). The best answer? Move around. A lot! Easier said than done. Good luck!

Curious about the Browser War? Results vary. It depends whether you include mobile or not. There are conflicting reports because the mobile market has impacted the results drastically. If you include the mobile market with the influx of droid devices, Google Chrome will be on the top of the leader board. If you omit mobile devices, the figures skew heavily towards Microsoft Internet Explorer with Firefox coming in second and Safari in 3rd place.

Data Integration - Import and Export Something we do every day, often many times a day, is create applications that pull data from a source and push it to a destination. We call this data parsing which means that we parse or strip out the data we need from the source. We might use custom software to handle this on a regular basis or we might create the capability for a one-shot transfer for a very specific requirement. It is good for you to know what the possibilities are so that you can consider how a program might improve productivity, efficiency and accuracy. So here are some of the places we parse or strip data from and to;
Don’t hesitate to contact us if you are interested in integrating data into your application.
