I also built customer segmentations for Canadian Tire Bank, which gave the executive team a holistic understanding of their customers for the first time and resulted in a chapter of a book. More recently, I have built a linear regression model to explain the relationship between interest rate of peer-to-peer loans and borrowers' characteristics using data from LendingClub, a two-level clustering-and-randomForest model to predict human physical activities using smartphone data, a logistic regression optimization based on precision and recall, a R-implementation of the cross-sectional regression and quintile-portfolio construction methods published in the Journal of Economic Literature. I have a masters degree in Biostatistics from the University of Michigan and a bachelor's degree in mathematics from New College of Florida. I'm an avid MOOC taker, constantly learning new techniques and tools in data science and machine learning. I took all the courses in data science, statistics and machine learning from Coursera, Udacity and Edx. I respond all my messages in less than 24 hours.

I have combo-oily, sensitive (among others, my skin takes the habit of breaking out in hives when it doesn't like something I eat or put on my skin), SD/PD-prone skin. OSPW. Fitzpatrick IV.
I always thought that Retin-A alone would suffice to do all the exfoliation, but I recently learned that it doesn't do exfoliation like AHA is supposed to, so I want to incorporate AHA back in.
I feel slight tingling upon application for the first few times but I no longer experience it. The gel is very lightweight and pretty hydrating for my skin, even used alone. I always wake up with plump, bright, hydrated skin when I use it at night. It also helps to smooth away the bumps I got from the Olay Age Defying Toner. I haven't used it long enough to see if it helps with fading hyperpigmentation.
I like the sleek pump bottle, but I do wish the bottle is more opaque.
It doesn't aggravate my SD or clog my skin. I will keep using and repurchasing.

Pros: Gentle, lightly moisturizing glycolic acid (AHA) exfoliant.
Cons: See-through packaging, which can cause the ingredients to break down more quickly. Slightly sticky texture. There are also products that are stronger and in more stable packaging, yet are less expensive.
Unfortunately, there aren't many good options for a more gentle AHA, which is why I still use this one.
I use this as my nightly exfoliant, and I use Alpha Hydrox 12% AHA Souffle once a week.
This product claims that it can be used in place of a moisturizer, but this will only be true for those with oily skin. For everyone else, let it dry completely, then apply moisturizer over it.
This works well, and I'm happy with it, but if Alpha Hydrox made a product with around 5% to 8% AHA in a texture I liked, I would switch brands due to the price and packaging.

It's my favorite exfoliating serum for my annoyingly sensitive skin. I wake up glowing and happy. A great intro to glycolic acid for anyone just dipping their toe into anti-aging. I swear it helps my acne too... the same way an AHA cream product would.
GREAT JOB OLAY. You're on to something.

Nice addition to my nighttime skincare routine. I use it after the Kiehl's Ultimate Tonic and prior to my LA Prairie anti-aging night cream, after I've given it 30min to sink in. I don't use this product on its own since I find it not hydrating enough, although that might change in high summer. The texture is like a gel, very light and refreshing. I've had no allergic reactions. I don't actually have any lines or wrinkles, so I can't vouch for its resurfacing capabilities. However I'd like to think it does its bit in keeping my skin smooth and glowing. Will buy again when run out.

This is the only product I actually stock up on, it's incredebly effective at what it does. Mild and gentle exfoliant for your skin, in my case extremely sensitive and acnegetic skin. I apply it at night and sometimes during the day when I'm not wearing any makeup around the house. In the morning skin is smoother and clearer and it helps w blemish mark fading.
It is not a miracle product and it won't make your lines disappear. I'm afraid only retinol and Botox can do that. This is a staple for me and I hope they never stop making it. Be sure to wear a good sunscreen if you're using this. My choice is babyganics spf 50 mineral sunscreen incredeble makeup base and all day matttefinig effect. It's made w zinc oxide which is amazing for acnegetic skin.

I've been using this for a month, long enough, I think, to provide a review. The texture is gel-like and is applied to clear skin. The packaging says no moisturizer is required but my comination skin was dehydrated after a couple weeks. Forehead lines which were mere hints previously began to show so I cut back from nightly to every other night and applied a night cream 20 minutes after application. From the first week my pores have been clearer and the fine bumps in my under eye area have completely vanished for the first time. I haven't noticed a dimishing of discoloration or my pores being smaller but I'm sure it takes longer than a month for those kinds of miracles. I recommend this as an easy overnight exfoliation. My skin looks brighter, is smoother and makeup application is easier. The price is extremely reasonable considering the cost of similar products under other cosmetic brands. I'm thrilled to have found something without parabens which can be picked up in Bed Bath and Beyond or a discount drugstore.

I love this. For a drugstore aha it's great. I love PC but like having an option at Target that I pick up in a pinch. I'd say it's good for dry skin because that's what I have. Doesn't irritate, mild stinging, just kind of brightens up my skin for a little glow. I wish it came in an opaque bottle but I love the pump.

I initially expressed great optimism about this product as I've been told it could work for my skin, but I seriously didn't see one glimpse of a change, didn't feel any smoother when I put my hands against by cheeks, and my wrinkles and frown lines were still quite visible. I certainly don't think I look any younger as a result of using it, so a lot of money for not much really.

Ok. I am still deciding myself about this product. They say that in one week, I will see significant changes..it has been one week and I haven't notice any major differences in my face. Although it has only been a week since so let me update you guys in another week or so. We'll see. I know it has some really good ingredients esp. the AHA..and I know these things are not instant, it takes time. And I am actually willing to give that seeing that I trust this brand and plus I still have the rest of the bottle to see some actual results.
But regarding the consistency, I heard that it could be sticky or tacky or whatever and I was really expecting that upon my first touch but it really isn't. It goes on smoothly and a little goes a long way. And I love that it is a pump style that you control how much or little you want and you could even lock it.

Deferred Action means that the Department of Homeland Security (under which the Citizenship and Immigration Service operates) will put off deportation of some undocumented immigrants who arrived in the United States as children. This has long been touted by immigration proponents as the only sensible and humane thing to do for young adults who had no control over the circumstances that led to their presence in the US. The benefits are similar in some aspects to the DREAM Act, which failed to pass the Senate in late 2010. This article will discuss Deferred Action and how to qualify for it.

20 November 2013 08:33 [Source: ICIS news]
DUBAI (ICIS)--Sustained innovation across the board and supporting free trade are key to the development and growth of the petrochemical industry, President of ExxonMobil Chemical Stephen Pryor said on Wednesday.
"Success requires sustained innovation across the value chain. That means innovation in feedstock, innovation in manufacturing process and innovation in products that benefit our customers," Pryor said in his keynote address to the 8th annual Gulf Petrochemicals and Chemicals (GPCA) Forum in Dubai.
Pryor said there was rising protectionism in the world and our "industry must advocate for free trade under all circumstances".
He said feedstock flexibility was key to remaining competitive in the ever-changing business environment.
"Major feedstock decisions must consider the interplay between energy and chemical markets in the near term and over time," he added.
In addition, building a competitive advantage is how companies manage their "feedstock molecule", he said.
He said shale gas is clearly a game changer, which has shaken the chemical industry in the US.
"But I think some perspective is in order," he added, explaining that there are other trends in the industry and the feedstocks that were unfolding and needed attention.
"Well certainly shale gas has dominated the industry headlines. Shale has given the US producers a major advantage in feedstock and energy cost, but shale is not the first major feedstock development to shake up our industry. It is not the first and it won't be the last," he told ICIS on Tuesday.
Pryor said the petrochemical industry must remain vigilant to the dynamic nature of the business and embrace changes.
"While we don't know what changes are, we do know they are coming," he said.
The GPCA 2013 Forum runs on 19-22 November.

18 October 2013 11:26 [Source: ICIS news]
DUSSELDORF (ICIS)--The global polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) markets are stable but bearish, a distributor visiting the K2013 plastics trade fair said on Friday.
"The markets are stable but slowing globally," the source said.
This is despite talk earlier this week of China being the only active market.
"Their [China's] upturn was only for a week [for restocking after the national day holiday]," the source said. "It's now cooling off."
The source spoke of high prices in several regions resulting in a 'wait and see' mode.
"In India, markets are down, there's no recovery. Europe is slow, prices are going down weekly, around €20/tonne. Producers' inventories are high, customers are not buying."
The source spoke of aggressive offers from Middle East producers.
"Africa and Latin America are good dumping grounds for the Middle East [producers looking to sell]," the source said.
The distributor said it expects suppliers to try to roll over October prices into November.
"We'll try to sell [volumes] off, we don't want a long position," the source said.
K2013 began on 16 October and runs until the 23rd.

Aurora Cruise Review by ballina44: Mmmmmm, needs a refit and that includes the staff!

Compare Prices on Aurora Asia Cruises
Mmmmmm, needs a refit and that includes the staff!
We had 13 nights which was certainly enough. Our only other cruise was with Cunard and the difference is startling. The pressure to buy drinks, especially by the pool, was at times insolent.
The food was standard British fare, plenty of potatoes, at least two different ways every meal, well that will fill you up. Chips everywhere.
On this note, Marco Pierre White why did you lend your name to this poor excuse for an exclusive restaurant on board? With a stairwell coming out in the middle, people strolling past, and food no better than the main restaurants I cannot see why he did it. Most cruise ships have a signature restaurant which you make a booking for and pay extra and which you are happy to pay for as the food and service is special Not so here. This one was free except for a dinner surcharge and as such gave no special food or presentation. Menu read well but the presentation and cooking was ordinary. Please Marco review your involvement.
The theatres More were small and the entertainment was constantly suffled around to fit people kn if an act was popular.
On a positive note the cabin, balcony, was excellent, great to have a bath and a good sized bathroom. Our cabin steward did his job well. Less

Some girls have a thing about that. It's just like certain guys like certain types of female or male bodies so do some women focus on certain male or female bits. Some women actually like guys who have beer guts, perhaps because their dad did and they had a really good relationship with him, for example.
Just let her do her thing. She doesn't mean anything by it other than being playful. Enjoy the affection and the view.

answered Wednesday May 18 2011, 8:15 pm:
well, lets put it this way: i like arms. i dont know why.. but arms, like upper arms, are just something i love. its kind of like a fetish, i guess. but really.. its just what youre attracted to.
i know one of my best friends loves backs. like boy's backs and everything. my other friend loves ears and she'll play with guys' ears.. yes, a little odd, but you like what you like, yuh know ?
so your girlfriend just likes bellies, and she might even be fascinated by them haha. but she also might feel insecure about her own stomach [if you were to try to figure this out in a pyschological aspect] .. like me ? i dont liek my arms, but i love guy's arms. my friend has big ears, hates her ears, but likes the opposite sex's ears.
although this may not be why she likes your belly so much, they are possibilities. the more likely one would be that she just likes stomachs. however, if you really wanna know, you'll have to ask her yourself. maybe when shes doing it, just be like, "haha, why do you like my belly so much babe? :]" something like that..
good luck ! hope i helped and if you need anything else, feel free to inbox me. xxo.

Pune Vijetas has offered Vietnam's best badminton player Nguyen Tien Minh US$44,000 contract to play in the Indian Badminton League (IBL) from August 14-31.
It is the most money a foreign badminton club has ever offered a Vietnamese player.
The base price at the auction in New Delhi on Monday was $25,000 for male players ranked 6th-12th. Pune Vijetas won in the bidding for 7th-ranked Minh amid fierce competition from other clubs.
Ho Chi Minh City's Badminton Federation Vice Chairwoman Huynh Ngoc Lien said, "Tien Minh is completing the final stage of the procedures by signing a contract with the club.
"He will get half of the amount after signing the contract and the other half when the [tournament] ends," said Huynh Ngoc Lien, vice Chairwoman of the Ho Chi Minh City Badminton Federation.
"Pune Vijetas will also pay for other expenses of travel and accommodation for Minh at the tournament," she added.
In addition to the cash from at IBL, Minh will still receive his VND50 million per month salary from local sponsor Becamex IDC. Early this month, Tien Minh also signed a three-year deal with Kawasaki that will pay him no less than $3,000 a month, plus cover his expenses at 10 international competitions per year.
Speaking to Thanh Nien, Minh, 30, said he was very gratified to have his talent recognized by the world of badminton.

SYKESVILLE — Emergency officials said the quick — but violent — storm that ripped through the southern part of Jefferson County Saturday evening leaving hundreds without power and damaging several homes was probably a microburst, not a tornado.
Strong thunderstorms hit the Sykesville and Henderson Township area around 5:30 p.m. Saturday.
The National Weather Service in Pittsburgh had issued a severe thunderstorm warning just prior to the microburst, said Tracy W. Zents, director of Emergency Services for Jefferson County.
