“Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.”

How to Do Antarctica in a Day
One of the world’s most impermeable destinations is about to open up in a big way.
By Nikki Ekstein
In the earliest days of Antarctic tourism, making the expedition to the frozen continent was fit only for the
most daring of adventure junkies—those who were willing to put their lives on the line, didn’t mind
sleeping in the barracks of military-style icebreaker vessels, and had weeks to spend crossing treacherous
waters. But recently, most of that has changed. Ships have become reliably safe, even luxurious, with famous
mega-yacht Le Boreal making its debut voyages early this year. But no matter which way you spun it, heading
to the globe’s southern extremes has pretty much always necessitated a time commitment.
No more. Bespoke operator Jacada Travel has been taking requests for single-day trips to Antarctica—and
delivering unforgettable experiences on that short timetable. The key, said Alex Malcolm, Jacada’s founder
and managing director, is eliminating the time-consuming (and often choppy) ocean crossing and heading
south by air instead.

Passengers on Malcolm’s single-day trips board a
King Air 300 twin-turboprop plane in Puntas
Arenas, Chile, which gets them to Antarctica in two
hours, rather than two days. Feasibility studies are
still under way on how to get larger planes to land
on the continent; between iced-over runways and
concerns about environmental impact, arriving by
air is still a rare endeavor. (Another

company, Antarctica Flights, leads daylong sightseeing flights to the continent from Australia, but they
never touch down.)

Filling a day in
Antarctica is the easy
part. A stop at Collins
Glacier, one of the
region’s most dramatic
sites, is a must—its
towering walls of blue
ice are bewildering in
their proportions, and
it’s home to a variety of
endemic wildlife that
includes leopard and
elephant seals, whales,
and more. Then it’s off
to one of the continent’s strangest sites: Trinity Church, a Russian Orthodox institution built with wood
shipped over from Siberia. (If you head in on a Sunday, you might catch a service by one of two priests
who spend time on the continent each year.) Culminate with a Zodiac trip to Ardley Island, where you can
see gentoo, chinstrap, and adelie penguins, or head to Antarctica’s first settlement, Villa Las Estrellas,
where a sign shows you just how far you are from any other civilization on earth.
There is one caveat for daytrips to the most far-flung corner of the earth: Inclement weather can be a worse
impediment here than anywhere else. In fact, there's a roughly one-in-five chance that a flight will be
cancelled due to weather. For that reason, Malcolm recommends that guests include a quick hop to
Antarctica as one element of a longer Patagonia trip to allow for some flexibility (a 10-day trip runs roughly
$12,000 per person). But Antarctica was always meant for daredevils, anyway.

Eithad Airways' first class "apartments" are like luxurious private bedrooms: COURTESY EITHAD AIRWAYS
How to Score a First-Class Cabin With Miles: The Extra Mile
These two airlines have some of the most unique and enjoyable seats to spend your miles on.
By RAMSEY QUBEIN
Which airlines have the best first class cabins to spend your miles on?
Zipping across the Atlantic in a comfy business- or first-class seat is quite the rush—especially when you
get that seat for free by redeeming miles. Not all first class cabins can be booked with award miles, but
many can, and some of them offer really unique experiences. Here are two that are worth hoarding
miles for:
A modern-day Concorde
When British Airways flew its supersonic Concorde between London and New York, it held flight
number BA 1. The flight number was symbolic—a special number for a marvel of aviation. Concorde

carried business travelers, diplomats, and celebrities on a regular basis. It was not uncommon for the
crew to recognize passengers from past flights and address them by name.
The Concorde is no longer flying, but there is a new flight called BA 1. It takes off from London City
Airport (LCY), which is located near Canary Wharf, the heart of London’s financial and business
district. And while it does not travel at supersonic speed, it maintains the same principles of exclusivity
and convenience that defined travel on the Concord.
The trip takes places on one of a pair of a British Airways Airbus A318s, the smallest commercial
aircraft to cross the Atlantic. Each has been specially modified with extra fuel tanks for the journey, and
inside, instead of the usual 100 plus seats, the planes have just eight rows of flat-bed seats.
The first benefit of the BA 1 flights (other than the comfort of the seats) is the convenience: traveling
from the heart of London, instead of Heathrow, allows passengers to avoid the lengthy, traffic-filled
drives to and from the city. (Aviation geeks will also find the takeoff from LCY’s short runway
exhilarating as the baby jet zips off the ground at an incredible angle to avoid disturbing the city with
too much noise.) And because the aircraft only has 32 seats, the boarding process is extremely quick
and civilized.
The second benefit is the service: A dedicated flight crew works these flights (just like they did for the
Concorde), which allows for a great deal of personal attention for each traveler. For example, most
airlines stop serving meals and drinks about an hour before landing. But on these flights, the crew will
still serve breakfast up to 15 minutes before landing so that business travelers can sleep longer during
the flight. It’s the kind of service that makes you feel like you’re on private jet rather than a commercial
flight.
So how do you get this experience? If you don’t fancy paying around $5,000 for the roundtrip, you can
use American Airlines miles (57,500 miles each way; 115,000 roundtrip) or British Airways’ Avios
points (60,000 one-way, 120,000 roundtrip). And if you don’t have either one but you do have a Chase
credit card, you can get Avios points by transferring Chase Ultimate Rewards points. Both American
and British Airways tack on taxes and fuel surcharges, but those still only cost about $400, far less than
the ticket would be on its own.
Your own private room in the sky
While BA 1’s unique service takes place aboard the smallest aircraft crossing the Atlantic, another must-
try service can be found on an Airbus A380, the largest aircraft crossing that ocean. Ethiad Airways
operates these massive jumbo jets, equipped with nine first-class apartments on their top decks, each of
which has a sliding door, a cushioned sofa that transforms into a plush bed, a large-screen TV, and a
wide recliner seat.
While these rooms aren’t quite as amazing as the two-room suites with butler service that the airline
offers on some flights (and which are nearly impossible to get through mileage redemptions), the private
rooms offer many amenities. A personal chef tailors the inflight menu to each traveler’s preferences,
and the foods can be enjoyed at any time during the flight. (Your room’s large dining table will even be
set with crystal and china reminiscent of a Michelin-starred restaurant.) Each apartment has windows

with automatic blinds, a vanity area, a minibar, and access to the lobby lounge where a full-bar set up
and café menu are available.
Before takeoff, a flight attendant drops off a gift bag with cotton pajamas and slippers, and if you want
to shower before landing, you can get a full five minutes of hot water plus designer toiletries and thick
towels. With all this and on-point service, you’ll basically feel like you’ve spent the night in a high-end
hotel.
These cabins can be booked with American Airlines miles (62,500 miles one-way between London
and Abu Dhabi; 115,000 miles each way between New York and Abu Dhabi), but unfortunately the
booking process isn’t particularly easy. The award seats don’t appear on American’s website, so the best
place to search for them is to search for a “Guest” seat on Etihad’s redemption search tool. (If “Guest”
space appears, then award space is available for redemption using American miles.) Also, although
American’s phone agents cannot always see award availability in these cabins in their computer systems,
American Airlines’ Australian call center can! So if you want to book by phone, fire up Skype and give
them a call at 61-2-910-11948.

Fitness
Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it
is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. John F. Kennedy
We’re willing to bet that most people get interested in the kettlebell for one reason: it looks damn cool.
A black cannonball with a cast-iron handle, no other training tool can match its old-school, back-to-basics
appeal.
And while the cool factor is a good enough reason to start using one, there are many others that will inspire
you to stick with kettlebell training long-term and make it a regular part of your workouts. Whether you’re
looking to get started with your first bell tomorrow, or you want a quick refresher course on everything that
makes kettlebells indispensable, look no further than the guide that follows, which covers everything you
need to know to start making gains right away.
The History of Kettlebells
Part of the kettlebell’s mystique lies in its humble origins. Kettlebells debuted in 18th-century Russia, where
they were used as counterweights to measure grain and other dry goods. It wasn’t long before farmers
started challenging each other to lift the heaviest ones, and kettlebells eventually found their way into the
hands of circus strongmen.

After World War II, the Soviet Red Army adopted kettlebells as a means of training its soldiers, and in the
1970s, kettlebell lifting had grown to become the official sport of the Soviet Union.
While kettlebells have been available in the United States since the 1940s, they’ve enjoyed a resurgence in
popularity since the turn of the century and are now widely available in gyms and for sale online and in
stores.
Anatomy Of A Kettlebell
The kettlebell comprises a bell, handle, and “horns.” The bell itself is the round, cannon-ball shaped
weight. The handle connects to the kettlebell by sloping downward at each end, called the horns. This
design is what makes kettlebells unique. Unlike a dumbbell, in which a handle connects two evenly-
weighted bells and lies level in the center between them, a kettlebell’s center of gravity is offset from its
handle—it rests several inches away.
The kettlebell can be grasped by the handle, horns, or its bell end. Gripping the kettlebell by its handle will
be your mainstay, but exercises like the squat are more user-friendly if you grasp the horns to do it.
For a greater grip challenge on a move like rowing, you may choose to hold the kettlebell by the bell itself,
which will force your hand to squeeze harder to prevent slipping.
The Benefits of Kettlebell Training
Better Form
The main thing that distinguishes the kettlebell from its dumbbell cousin is the off-set nature of the load. A
kettlebell’s center of gravity lies six to eight inches away from your grip (when gripping the handle, anyway),
and that makes it harder to control. As a result, practically any exercise you do with it—from
conventional strength movements like presses and squats to more unique kettlebell exercises like swings and
snatches—is going to require stricter form and more muscle activation than you could get away with using a
dumbbell.
Consider an overhead press for example. “It’s funny how, with barbells and dumbbells, so many people are
happy to press to where their elbows are bent 90 degrees,” says Shane Heins, Director
of Fitness Education for the Onnit Academy. “But with the kettlebell, everybody instinctively wants to press
up to lockout, because the off-set load acts as a counter-weight, pulling their shoulder back.”
In other words, the kettlebell encourages you to do the exercise perfectly. And if you can’t—say, you arch
your back or twist to one side in an effort to complete the lift—you know immediately when your form has
broken (or if you don’t, a skilled trainer or training partner who’s watching you will). Squatting with the
kettlebell held in front of your body forces you to sit back more on the descent, improving the mechanics of
your squat pattern. That paves the way for you to perform more advanced (and arguably more glamorous)
exercises properly when you graduate to them—such as a heavy barbell back squat.
Improved Core Strength
As stated above, pressing a kettlebell overhead will create the tendency to flare your ribs or lean back, so you
have to lock your core in that much more to prevent it.

In a swing, you have to brace your core to prevent your lower back from rounding dangerously at the
bottom of the movement. On any exercise you do, you can count on your core having to fire harder to
stabilize your body and ensure safety—it’s not optional as it can be with other free weights or machines.
Improved Athleticism
If you’re an athlete of any kind, kettlebell training better simulates the constantly shifting center of gravity
you encounter on the field, mat, or court than most conventional lifting does. Other objects, whether a
ball, obstacle, or opposing player, rarely stand still during competition. Using kettlebells teaches your body
to stabilize itself and produce force despite the chaos of movement.
Furthermore, exercises like swings, clean and jerks, and snatches (the latter two are more user-friendly when
done with kettlebells than a loaded barbell) build power that translates directly to sports. If your training
lacks explosive movements, kettlebells are a good place to start training them.
Greater Grip Strength
The kettlebell handle, coupled with the displaced load, requires your fingers, hands, and forearms to work
harder to control it than they would on a dumbbell. While some manufacturers promote a thick handle, a
narrower one will make it easier to perform more complex movements, which increases your training
options (more on this later under “How To Choose A Kettlebell”). As grip strength is important in most
sports as well as for overall strength gain in general, kettlebells are an exceptional tool.
Stronger Cardiovascular Endurance
Most kettlebell exercises integrate the entire body, and many, such as classics like the clean and press and
snatch, involve lifting the weight from the floor to overhead. Working muscles across the body over such a
wide range of motion creates tremendous demand on the heart. As a result, many athletes use kettlebells as
a cornerstone of their conditioning programs.
Easy Portability
Next to exercise bands and a suspension trainer, kettlebells are the easiest training tool to travel with. They
won’t roll around in the back of your car like dumbbells might, and they wouldn’t look out of place on a
beach or at the park. Plus, unlike with dumbbells, you really only need a single kettlebell to get a great
workout.
“There’s a huge library of exercises that you can use with one weight,” says John Wolf, Onnit’s Chief
Fitness Officer. “A lot of times with dumbbells, you need a huge selection to do your workout. With
kettlebells, you might need two weight increments to work your whole body. I’ve always said that if you have
one kettlebell in the corner of your room you basically have a gym.”
The Science
A 2013 study by the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse examined the effects of kettlebell training on
healthy male and female volunteers, ages 19 to 25—all of whom were experienced in strength training. The
subjects had their strength, aerobic capacity, and balance tested with conventional exercises first and then
spent eight weeks training with kettlebells, performing lifts that included swings, snatches, cleans, and
presses. Afterward, the same battery of conventional lifts were used to measure progress.

The result? The subjects’ strength improved, but core strength in particular jumped 70%. Aerobic capacity
increased 13.8%. The participants’ ability to balance also improved significantly, which the researchers cited
as being especially valuable to older adults who take up strength training.
How To Choose A
Kettlebell
Kettlebell designs vary.
Some are coated in rubber
to protect floors from
impact. Others are
designed specifically for
kettlebell lifting
competitions and have a
straight handle and are
uniform in size regardless
of weight. In an attempt to
appeal to beginners, a few
manufacturers make kettlebells with concave faces, which are intended to be more ergonomic. Some
newfangled kettlebells work like dumbbells and can be loaded with plates, offering multiple weight changes
with one implement.
Kettlebell Swings and getups burn fat and get your heart rate up as well as any cardio machine, but do
more to re-enforce good mechanics.
The classic kettlebell, however, is a solid weight made of cast iron and offers a round bell and curved
handle, and that’s the type we recommend for the widest range of uses. So-called user-friendly, ergonomic
kettlebells that feature concave bells simply aren’t necessary if you know how to lift a kettlebell with good
technique (and they’re usually poor quality).
Plate-loaded kettlebells may seem convenient and cost-effective, but they present problems. “It will increase
the likelihood of injury,” says Wolf. “A plate slamming into your forearm instead of a rounded object is
going to hurt more.” Plus, if you don’t load the plates correctly, and they go flying off, you’ve got bigger
problems than just fitting in a workout that day.
Competition bells are obviously ideal if you have ambitions to compete, and while the handle is well-suited
for contested lifts like the clean, jerk, and snatch, Wolf says it doesn’t provide the same variety of grips that
you can use with the more rounded handle of the classic kettlebell model.
“You can use two hands on a conventional kettlebell—even one with a small handle. “But on a competition
one, with its squared handle, you can only use as many fingers as can fit in the space the handle provides.
For a good number of people out there, especially those with larger hands, that space is not enough.” If
you’re buying a kettlebell in person, perform this test before making a final decision. Hold up your hand
and touch your thumb to the tip of your pinkie.

Notice the channel it forms in your palm—that’s where the kettlebell handle should rest most of the time,
from the outside knuckle of the index finger diagonally down to the opposite side of the wrist. (This will be
your primary grip for most conventional kettlebell lifts, such as pressing and squatting.) Pick up the weight
and hold the handle in the middle, letting it fill that channel. “The bell should rest on the back of your
forearm when the wrist is straight,” says Heins. “It should not impinge on the boney profile of the wrist,”
adds Wolf. If you pick up a kettlebell that rubs against the bone that protrudes on the lateral side of your
wrist, the weight displacement from the handle is not ideal, and you could end up getting injured.
Another safety tip: don’t use a kettlebell with too thick a handle. “Onnit’s handles are a little over an inch
in diameter,” says Wolf, which is enough to work your grip but not so demanding to hold that it creates
unnecessary fatigue. “When you’re performing an exercise like the swing, you may be doing hundreds of
reps in a workout, as opposed to four sets of eight,” or some other standard set-and-rep-scheme you’d use
with conventional exercises. “We don’t want your grip to burn out. I think that’s counterproductive from a
technique standpoint. Once someone’s grip is overworked, you’ll see a whole slew of mechanical problems
that come into play.”
As for how much weight to start with, men can invest in one or two bells that are 16 kilos (about 35
pounds). Wolf says that will provide plenty of challenge on a wide range of exercises. “For gals, an eight-kilo
kettlebell [17.5 pounds] will give you a lot of bang for your buck.”
The 7 Best Kettlebell Exercises For
Beginners
The same basic lifts that make barbell
and dumbbell training so effective can
be done with kettlebells for a unique
twist. We suggest you start with the
following. (Note the subtle tweaks in
form that must be made to
accommodate the kettlebell.)
In addition, there are some exercises
that are unique to kettlebells alone and,
while they may seem awkward at first,
can pay quick dividends no matter what
your training goals.
1. Kettlebell Goblet Squat
Hold the kettlebell by its horns and drive your shoulder blades together and downward so your chest is
open (think “proud chest”). Tuck your elbows in so your forearms are vertical.
Stand with feet a bit wider than hip-width apart with feet turned out slightly. Take a deep breath into your
belly and twist your feet into the ground (imagine screwing them down without actually moving them) and
squat, keeping your torso upright. Go as low as you can without your tailbone tucking under your butt.

2. One-Arm Overhead Press
Stand tall holding the kettlebell in one hand at shoulder level. Root your feet into the floor as if you were
preparing for someone to push you. Take a deep breath into your belly and brace your abs and glutes.
Pull your ribs down and think “proud chest” and “long spine” so your tailbone is tilted up slightly. Press the
weight overhead. Note that your chin should be pulled back so that weight has no trouble clearing it.
To lower the kettlebell, pull it back down into position—as if you were performing a pullup.
TIP: “Don’t get fixated on achieving a full overhead lockout right away,” says Wolf. “Just going to where
your elbow is bent 90 degrees and holding it isometrically is a ton of work for most people.”
As mentioned earlier, if you need to arch your back, causing your ribs to flare in order to lock out your arm
overhead, you’re not training the shoulder effectively.
In that case, you may need to regress the movement to a floor press—lie down on the floor with your triceps
against it and press upward from there (think of it as a bench press with a shortened range of motion).
3. Kettlebell
Deadlift
Place the
kettlebell on
the floor
between your
feet and stand
with feet hip-
width apart.
Bend your
knees slightly
and push your
butt back,
screwing your
feet into the
floor as you
lower your
torso until
your arms can grasp the kettlebell handle.
Think “proud chest,” and keep your lower back in its natural arch. Focus your eyes ahead of you and
slightly down. Grasp the kettlebell with both hands and take a deep breath into your belly. Drive through
your heels to lift the bell up, extending your hips to lockout.
4. Kettlebell One-Arm Row
Place the kettlebell on the floor and take a staggered stance with your right foot in front. Your foot should
be planted just outside the weight. Dig the ball of your left foot into the floor behind you, folding at the

hips as you sit your butt back so your torso is angled about 45 degrees to the floor. Rest your right elbow on
your right thigh for support and reach for the kettlebell with your left hand.
Take a deep belly breath and draw your shoulders back and together (“proud chest”). Brace your core and
row the weight back to your hip, squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top.
5. Kettlebell Chest-Loaded Swing
“The swing is the definitive kettlebell exercise, as proliferated by social media,” says Wolf. “But we feel like
people jump into that pool way too fast.” Most swings you’ll see in the gym (or on YouTube) aren’t done
safely—at the risk of serious lower-back injury.
It’s important for people not familiar with it to learn to hinge with their hips, which lays the foundation for
all deadlift variations and explosive exercises like snatches and cleans. For that reason, Wolf and Heins
propose that you start with the chest-loaded swing.
Stand with feet between hip and shoulder-width apart and hold the kettlebell by its horns, pulling the
bottom of the bell into your lower sternum Draw your shoulder blades together and down (“proud chest”)
and cast your eyes on a spot on the floor approximately 15 feet in front of you.
Take a deep breath and root your feet. Then bend your hips back, imagining being able to touch your butt
to the wall behind you. Keep a long spine with the tailbone tilted slightly up. When you feel a stretch in
your hamstrings, extend your hips and squeeze your glutes, tucking your tailbone under as you lock out.
6. Kettlebell Goblet Half Get-Up
As with the swing, many kettlebell users like to skip ahead to more advanced moves than they’re ready for.
Rather than jump in with a Turkish getup—an awesome but complex total-body movement—kettlebell
newbies can start with the half getup,
which still provides a tremendous
core workout as well as flexibility
training.
Lie down on your back on the floor,
holding the kettlebell by the horns.
Take a deep belly breath and brace
your abs. Perform a sit-up and then
tuck your right foot in toward your
butt while you slide your left foot
behind you so you form a “shin box”
position on the floor.
Both knees should be bent about 90
degrees with feet facing opposite
directions.

Extend your hips as if coming up to stand tall and then bring your left foot in front of you again
and plant it on the floor with the knee bent 90 degrees. Turn your rear leg so the foot points straight
behind you and you finish in a lunge position. Reverse the entire motion to return to lying on the floor.
7. Kettlebell Halo
“Getting comfortable and aware of how to brace your body correctly when the kettlebell changes position is
one of the most valuable things you can do,” says Wolf.
Moving the kettlebell in a circular motion around the body—called a
“halo”—strengthens your core and prepares you for explosive exercises
down the line.
It also exposes weaknesses and imbalances. “If you can’t hand the
kettlebell off behind you,” says Wolf, “chances are you can’t wipe your ass
either.”
To do the basic shoulder halo, stand with feet between hip and shoulder-
width apart and hold the kettlebell by its horns upside down—the bell
should face up. Screw your feet into the floor and draw your ribs down.
Think “proud chest.”
Begin moving the kettlebell around your head, being careful to maintain
your posture and not bend your torso in any direction. Move slowly to
avoid whacking yourself in the head. Make full circles and alternate
directions.
3 Ways to Use Kettlebells
1. Warm Up With Them
If you’re a longtime meathead who’s now finding that years of bodybuilding-style workouts have led to
muscle imbalances and injury, kettlebells can play a key role in restoring healthy movement patterns.
If you’re not ready to commit to a kettlebell program outright, Heins recommends you at least start your
workouts with kettlebell work to enhance mobility, which will allow you to get into the positions needed to
perform your regular barbell lifts more safely. “That way, when you go under heavy load you can maintain
technique.
The kettlebell, even though it’s lighter than what you’re used to, gives you enough feedback to challenge
you and light up your nervous system. That way the communication between your brain and the rest of
your body is clearer and more responsive to what you are asking of it.”
Try doing goblet squats before barbell back squats, holding the bottom position for a few seconds to open
up your hips. You can also do light one-arm overhead presses before military presses to get your shoulders
warm. Chest-loaded swings are a great way to prepare the hips for barbell deadlifts.

2. Do a Full-Body Workout—Anytime, Anywhere
All you need to do for a kick-ass workout that covers every major muscle group is “squat, hinge, push, and
pull,” says Wolf. Cover those movement patterns and you’re good to go.
Pick from the exercises listed above for starters.
3. Set Up a Circuit
Swings and getups get your heart rate up as well as any cardio machine, but do more to re-enforce good
mechanics. And of course, they’re much more fun and challenging.
Try building a circuit with them or performing them on your downtime between weight-training sets.

Productivity
9 Windows 10 Apps for a Productivity Edge
Microsoft has made productivity a core
focus in Windows 10 and Office, but
the Windows Store has more tools you
can use to get things done.
(Image: Microsoft)
Since it was founded in 1975, Microsoft has
traditionally focused on helping people get things

done. It officially adopted "reinventing personal productivity" as one of its core ambitions in 2015.
Over the last year, we have seen the evolution of Microsoft's Office suite. Well known apps like Word and
Excel have been upgraded with new collaboration technologies and productivity features, and the Office
365 suite has more users than ever.
It made sense for the Windows team to make productivity a priority in designing Windows 10. Several
features, from built-in OneDrive to the ability to markup pages in Microsoft Edge, were created to give
users more options to write, save, and share content.
Despite the range of productivity tools in the newest versions of Windows and Office, most people have
additional apps to help them cross off more items on their professional and personal to-do lists.
Most have found their go-to apps on alternate platforms. Redmond has long struggled with its app store,
and its offerings are sparse compared to their iOS and Android counterparts, which has proven an
additional challenge.
Since Windows 10 launched, Microsoft has been trying to increase the number and range of apps in the
Windows Store. Here, we dive into some of the productivity tools you can try on your Windows 10 PC. All
of these are free; some come with paid in-app features.
Do you use any of these apps? Have any recommendations? Feel free to share them in the comments.

Dropbox
Windows 10 users may be more inclined to use
the built-in OneDrive app for their storage, but
Dropbox has a native app for the OS if you
prefer. It's free to use, but also offers the option
to pay for additional storage.
Through Dropbox for Windows 10 you can
browse folders, view and edit files on any device,
and privately share content from your Dropbox
account. As part of its Windows 10
compatibility, Dropbox lets you unlock your
account with face, fingerprint, or iris scanning,
and access recent files from the taskbar. A
Windows 10 Mobile app is in the works.

Adobe Photoshop Express
Most of us could use a capable photo editor,
but don't need all the bells and whistles of
Adobe's Photoshop suite. Enter Photoshop
Express, a lightweight user-friendly app with
filters and controls for adjusting color, size,
brightness, and other aspects of a photo. It's
a useful app for on-the-go photo editing. If
you'd like to add to your filter collection or
access premium features, you may do so for a
small fee.
Xing
More than 9 million people belong to Xing, a
professional network for Windows PCs,
tablets, and phones. It's designed to help you
stay connected with people in your industry.
Scrolling through your Xing feed will keep you
posted on your connections' job changes and
blog posts. Through the app, you can share
relevant news, exchange opinions on topics of
interest, and browse job listings. Xing will use
your profile information to recommend open
jobs and potential contacts.
Xing supports both Continuum and Cortana on Windows 10. You can access information through the
digital assistant using requests like, "Show me my messages on Xing."
Eclipse Manager
Need an extra nudge to stay productive? Eclipse Manager is built to help organize projects and keep track of
time.
It's handy for professionals like
freelancers and small business managers,
but equally useful for everyday
productivity. Eclipse Manager includes
task management, time and cost
tracking, and data analysis into a simple
interface. Features can be mixed and
matched, depending on the project.

Network Speed Test
The Network Speed Test app gives you
some insight about the speed of your
current Internet connection, including
data such as network delay, download
speed, and upload speed. The app, built
by Microsoft Reach, uses servers around
the world to gauge the latency of your
network connection. Based on its
findings, the app will tell you which
activities you'll be able to perform: Music
streaming, video calling, etc.
In addition to informing you of Internet
quality, Network Speed Test records data
from previous tests so you can
understand how network speeds have
changed over time.
Action Note
There are plenty of note-taking apps on the
Window Store, but Action Note is a note-taking
app designed to integrate with the Action Center
built into Windows 10. You can use it to access
documents and photos across Windows 10 devices
by pulling up your Action Center. Other features
include Live Tile support and audio playback for
notes.
Todoist
The Todoist app launched on Windows 10 in November 2015.
You may already be familiar with the task manager, which operates
across platforms now including Windows PCs, tablets, and
smartphones.
Todoist helps you stay on top of your projects and to-do lists. Keep
track of your tasks of the day, week or month; work together on
tasks with other people; get notified when changes happen; keep
your lists safe in the cloud, and access them offline.

A premium upgrade will unlock more of the app's features, including the ability to receive location-based
alerts, attach PDFs, or organize tasks with labels.

Career
Want To Join A Board Of Directors? Ask Yourself These 4 Questions
First
By Joann M. Eisenhart, Ph.D. Northwestern Mutual
Jo Eisenhart is the senior vice president of Human Resources, Facilities and Philanthropy at Northwestern Mutual.
One of the most rewarding choices you can make is to serve on a board of directors. Participation on a
board gives you a unique opportunity to share your skills and expertise to help an organization overcome its
challenges, increase its value, elevate its public profile and—in the case of a nonprofit—raise money.
But if you’re considering a board appointment, you’ll be expected to make a meaningful contribution. So
make sure you know what you’re in for and how you can make it a beneficial experience for everyone
involved. It may be helpful to ask yourself these four questions:
1. Why do I want a board position? If you’re thinking about joining a nonprofit board, you’re probably
passionate about what the organization stands for. And that’s fantastic. But what exactly do you expect to
gain by serving on the board? For some people, volunteering to serve on a nonprofit board allows them to
achieve many goals simultaneously, such as advancing the mission of an organization they care about,
meeting other like-minded professionals and gaining board experience.
If your goal is to join a corporate board, you may have different reasons for getting involved. If you’re a
senior leader in your company, your CEO may encourage you to participate on a board to expose you to
other business models. Or you may have been recruited to bring a unique skill the board is lacking. If
you’re actively seeking a position, you may view public board service as an opportunity to network with
other professionals, increase your understanding of an industry or benefit financially, since corporate board
positions are almost always paid.

In either case—nonprofit or corporate—know what you want to gain from the experience. An opportunity to
learn a new industry or skill? Prestige or pay? The opportunity to give back to your community or
profession?
2. How will I get connected? Companies that offer paid board positions want highly qualified people, and
they often turn to executive search firms. So a recruiter may seek you out, or you may consider paying a
professional search firm to find you a board position. You could also network with individuals who are
already on the board of a company that interests you to learn about the skills needed and, assuming you
have the skills, whether they would sponsor you for the role.
If you’re interested in joining a nonprofit board, let people know you’re interested since these board
appointments are often made through referrals. Someone who’s well connected in the community may
know of organizations looking for board members. Or, if you know someone who already works for the
nonprofit whose board you want to join, ask him or her to make an introduction.
3. Am I prepared for the commitment? Participation on a board takes time and effort, and new board
members tend to underestimate both. So when considering a board appointment, ask for details about
what’s expected of you, and be honest with yourself about whether you can meet those expectations.
During the interview process (yes, you’ll be interviewed), ask how the board works, how often it meets and
the average amount of time you’ll need to commit between meetings. If you were recruited to the position,
ask why you were chosen. Ask about the board’s priorities, too, and look for ways to connect its goals with
the skills and expertise you can bring to the table. Think of the interview as a two-way street; you both want
to make sure you’re a good fit.
4. Should I tell my employer? Many companies have policies about employee board participation. And even
if your employer doesn’t have a stated policy, it’s a good idea to let your boss know so that potential
conflicts of interest can be addressed in advance. This is especially true if you’re considering a paid position
on a corporate board. Does that company do business with your employer? Is there a chance that your
involvement will lead to perceived unfair influence? In that case, your employer’s legal team—and perhaps
even the CEO—will likely want to sign off on the appointment.
The stakes won’t be nearly as high if you’re looking to voluntarily serve on a nonprofit board, but it’s still a
good practice to let you employer know. That will help, for example, if you need to ask for schedule
flexibility to be able to attend the meetings. It also shows that you are interested in gaining new
experiences and contributing to valuable causes, both of which can raise your boss’s view of your potential.
Joining a board can be a great way to give back to your community, share your skills and expertise, grow
your professional network and enhance your resume. But if you’re considering a board appointment,
remember that they’re counting on you to make a meaningful contribution. So make sure you’re well
informed about what’s expected and prepared for the commitment.

Confessions of a Failed Early-Stage Equity Investor
WSJ Wealth Management Expert Ted Beck reveals how he is still paying the price for getting the answers
wrong to five key questions all early-stage investors should ask themselves.
By TED BECK
Ted Beck is president and CEO of the National Endowment for Financial Education, a member of the President’s
Advisory Council on Financial Capability for Young Americans and chairman of the Jump$tart Coalition.
If confessions are good for the soul, I’m about to help my soul a lot.
When it comes to investing I like to think I am worth my salt and that I possess the tools to make wise
decisions. After all, I have two business degrees and over 40 years working in the financial markets. I’ve had
my share of success. But I’ve failed in several attempts to put my money in early-stage equity investments
since the 1990s. And these efforts haunt me to this day.
Why should anybody care about my mistakes? In part because it is about to become a lot easier to become
an early-stage equity investor, thanks to new equity crowdsourcing rules going into effect May 16. It used to
be you needed assets of $1 million or annual income of $200,000 to be a qualified investor. Now, you can
have even less than $100,000 in net worth or annual income to be a player.
That means a modestly-funded retirement account soon will qualify potentially millions of average
Americans to play “Shark Tank” with their hard-earned money. Remember: About half of new businesses in
the U.S. will fail in the first five years.
So where did I go wrong? Basically, I had the wrong answers to five key questions everyone should ask
themselves before jumping in. Here are those questions–and how I’d grade my answers.
Could I afford to lose what I invested? Thankfully I didn’t bet the ranch. But I bet plenty, typically in the
low-to-mid five-figure range. My grade: a gentleman’s C.
How many investments did I look at? An experienced early-stage investor may review hundreds of potential
deals before finally considering one. I was overanxious. I was enamored right out of the box and fell victim

to “deal creep.” My excitement was blinded by optimism and the hope of getting in on the next Apple.
Here I grade myself an F.
Did I do my homework? No. I didn’t take the time to differentiate between good marketing and good
homework. I fell for the sales pitch rather than doing my own research. I didn’t ask informed questions.
Another failing grade.
Was I overconfident? I absolutely was a victim of my own cockiness. Research shows that poor investing
decisions frequently come from overconfidence, particularly among men over a certain age. Guilty as
charged. Another F.
Was there a clear path to earning back my investment in a reasonable amount of time? Successful early-
stage equity investors will evaluate the potential for earning back their investment in three to five years. I
still am waiting on the return of my investment since there isn’t a secondary market that I can sell my
position to. Grade: Incomplete.
If you want to be an early-stage equity investor, you must have better answers than I did to these important
questions. As investors we need to be informed—perhaps even overinformed. If you think investing in bright
shiny ideas is your way to score a house in the Hamptons, think again. I’ve learned my lessons the hard
way—through my failures. My 0.5 GPA in early equity investing attempts is akin to the Delta House guys in
“Animal House” facing academic suspension. I placed myself on suspension, ending my career in early
equity investing.
It’s humbling to admit my mistakes, but I hope it helps wannabe sharks do a better job than I did in the
new equity crowdfunding arena. One day I may again try my hand at early equity investing. It wouldn’t be a
complete shock. Perhaps once the Cubs win the World Series.
