A plea!

We love how your visual representations help the reader comprehend complex information quickly and clearly and can be easily shared across the Internet. Take this one, for example, highlighting that 95% of Fortune 500 CEOs played college sports.

However, a pretty picture does not equate to credibility.  If you fail to identify your sources, no one is going to take your message seriously.  Need proof? Here's what the Internet thought about this:

My daughter's Withings Activité Pop Smart Watch
Four months ago I put a fitness tracker on my 7 (now 8) year old daughter. The results were revealing.

Over 119 days she took 1.2 million steps, the equivalent of walking nearly 500 miles (assuming she takes 2,500 steps a mile). She averaged 10,200 steps a day, nearly 2,000 less than the recommended 12,000 steps a day for grade school girls. She only reached 12,000 steps on one in every four days. 
Of particular concern was the lack of physical activity (at least measured by the steps she was taking) on school days. For days when she rode the bus to school (22 days in total), her average dropped to 8,300 steps a day. And this was during the summer months when outdoor recess and playing outside after school in New England isn't scuppered by bad weather and dark evenings.

Steps needed to be taken, literally and metaphorically.  Here's what we did to increase her daily activity levels:
