Expiration Date:?Oct 2018
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?1.12 lbs (0.51 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Excellent product, delivered fast
Didn't work much for me.
Posted by 5571109125930047457 on Oct 11, 2015
Didn't feel the beta-alanine, multi-vits profile is so-so. Don't know if it's coincidence, but when I switched from Controlled Labs' "Orange Triad" to this for a try, I fell sick shortly after. Won't be ordering again.

Awesome product but broken pills
Posted by 5645048159259305777 on Jun 30, 2013
One of the best supplements i've ever used.It really boosted my recovery and training.Maybe the olny multi that you can actually feel it works. One thing i didnt like about it,was the fact that some pills(5-10 per bottle) were broken.Some in half.

Kelp Bass, Paralabrax clathratus
The Kelp Bass, Paralabrax clathratus, whose common Spanish name is cabrilla sargacera and whose local name is cabrilla and/or verdio, is a species in the family Serranidae, the Sea Basses, known as serranos in Mexico. Globally, there are only nine species in the genus Paralabrax, of which five are found in Mexican waters, all in the Pacific.
The Kelp Bass is very similar to the freshwater Largemouth Bass, Micropterus salmoides. Their upper head is olive green with random yellow spots and their upper back is mottled with white, olive-green, and black markings. There are two rows of rectangular white blotches in a net pattern along their back. A key to identification are the third and fourth dorsal spines, which are of equal length and approximately twice the length of the second spine.
The Kelp Basses are found within and near kelp beds at depths up to 130 feet. They reach a maximum length of 72 cm (28 inches) and weigh up to 6 kg (14 pounds). They feed on crustaceans and small fish. They do not undergo a mid-life sex change, however, the males are sexually dichromatic during spawning season (June to September), as evidenced by a significant change in facial coloration (photo below). They are found from the United States border to just north of Cabo San Lucas on the west coast of Baja, with the southern range established by a fish in our possession.
The Kelp Bass can be confused with the Barred Sand Bass, Paralabrax nebulifer (dark blotches on upper two-thirds of body and tail base; third dorsal spine two and a half times longer than second spine); the Goldspotted Sand Bass, Paralabrax auroguttatus ((dense orange spots covering head, body, and fins; third dorsal spine three times longer than second spine); the Parrot Sand Bass, Paralabrax loro (orange spots and lines covering head; seven dark bars on the sides; third dorsal spine three times longer than second spine); and the Spotted Sand Bass, Paralabrax maculatofasciatus (numerous black, brown, and orange spots covering body; dark bar from eye to gill cover; third dorsal spine three times longer than second spine).
The Kelp Bass is considered to be an excellent food fish and an important game fish with annual catch levels in excess of 500,000 by California party boats.

French Holocaust Survivors Dedicate Wall of Names'
PARIS - France's Jewish community yesterday dedicated the "Wall of Names," a memorial identifying 76,000 Jews deported from France during World War II.
Famed Nazi hunter Serge Klarsfeld, one of 10 experts who compiled the list after gathering information from Gestapo documents and French families, said the wall showed the Holocaust has "become part of the public conscience at the level it should be."
The stone wall is located at the entrance to the renovated Holocaust Memorial in Paris' central Marais district, which is scheduled to be officially opened tomorrow by President Jacques Chirac. He will then go to Auschwitz for the memorial ceremony marking 60 years since the death camp was shut down.
"This wall keeps our innermost secrets in its stone and delivers them to those who pass," said former health minister Simone Veil, herself a survivor of Auschwitz - one of 2,500 deportees who returned to France alive.
"These names are those of your parents, grandparents, your children, brothers and sisters ... all those we loved before they were assassinated in abominable conditions," said Veil, who said she lost her parents, brother, sister, aunt and uncle in the Holocaust.
Conferences and exhibits, focusing heavily on education, will be held at the memorial.
Visitors will also be able to visit the basement crypt where ashes of some of the death camps' victims are kept.

Gwikonge Group
Michael, who is raising up his hand, is 48 years old. He is married with nine children. He depends solely on farming to earn a living and is therefore keen on practicing better farming methods. During the 2014 long rains, Michael will plant a one acre farm with maize on ½ acre and sorghum and millet on ¼ acre each.
He is therefore requesting a loan to enable him to purchase farm inputs. With the farm inputs, he is hopeful that the harvest will be good and he will ensure food security for his large family.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
Nuru International is a U.S. based non-profit that aims to help rural farmers in Kenya lead their communities out of extreme poverty using agricultural loans and specialized trainings. This loan will go towards the cost of seeds, fertilizers, agricultural training, and insurance. While this loan is structured with a one time payment in September, the farmers may prepay their loans if they have the capacity to repay earlier. As a result, lenders may receive repayments earlier than the estimated end date.
This Kiva loan will be used to provide borrowers with needed goods or services, as opposed to cash or financial credit. While the loan profile indicates that the disbursal date of the inputs will be early November, Nuru International does not expect to begin providing inputs until early December. This will ensure that borrowers receive their inputs by January, the start of the typical planting season for Kenyan farmers.
About Nuru International:Nuru International is a U.S. based non-profit that aims to equip rural farmers with the tools, knowledge, and resources necessary to lead their families out of extreme poverty. Nuru's "Agricultural Input Loan" provides farmers with seeds, fertilizer and agricultural extension programs that have proven to more than double a farmer's crop yield. Funds from Kiva's lenders will help Nuru to scale its operations to reach 10,000 farmers in Kenya and 1,700 farmers in Ethiopia by 2016.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

I may like a style on the model, but not so much on me. Where can I try on a dress?
I understand that they are made to order, but not many women can see a dress on another person and know it is going to look good on them. We all come in many shapes and sizes. I love this dress, but I am not sure if it would look good on me. Do you send samples out to wedding shops for people to try on? I would hate to order something and pay for it and then hate it when I put it on.
By Diane Scarponi Feb 08, 2013

MF Global Roundup: the [so-far] Great Escape of "Teflon Don" Corzine; Bankruptcy Shenanigans Exposed; the "F" Word Revisited
Submitted by EconomicPolicyJournal.com
Ahead of Tuesday's Senate Banking Committee hearing on MF Global, we present the April 20 installment of Capital Account with Lauren Lyster, featuring futures industry veteran guest, Mark Melin. Ms. Lyster pulls no punches in the opener:
Has the case really gone cold? Or, are those who are in charge of the investigation, the "regulators" and the trustees, simply spraying teflon on every piece of sticky evidence that could lead to criminal prosecutions--and, ultimately--the recovery of stolen customer money?
We wish that MF Global were just a one-off affair--a bad apple, if you will. Unfortunately, it seems more likely to us that this is another milestone in the history of what we see as criminality, which has swept through the financial services industry, like some sort of Medieval Black Plague--the Black Death for capital formation. It seems the only time people are held accountable anymore, is when they commit crimes that affect the super-rich.
Bernie Madoff is a prime example...Madoff is securely behind bars, but Jon "Teflon Don" Corzine is busy ordering carmel-Frappuchinos at the local Starbucks as he goes to shop for office space in New York...bothered only by the low din of discontent emanating from the blogosphere (and shows like this, Capital Account). What a nuiscance we must be to the new God-fellas of Wall Street...
Nuiscance, indeed, to which we hope we are part. Below is the entire episode, in which Ms. Lyster and Mr. Melin cover the following salient points, all pointing to a criminal intent to commit fraud, as well as the role of regulators and investigators aiding and abetting the criminals:
- Why was the MF Global back office cleared out with three top personnel allowed to leave, just as the firm was exeriencing its most serious liquidity (ahem solvency) crisis in its soon-to-be-terminated existence?
- Why were C-level executives, far from being sequestered by investigators and being placed in an information silo, allowed to run the company for six weeks (prior to Mr. Freeh being installed as Trustee of the Holdings company)?
- Why did Freeh wait until early March to have MF Global Holdings USA declare bankruptcy, the very entity that retained the few remaining executives and employees and may have been cash-rich?
- Why did Federal cops and investigators fail to so much as question Mr. Corzine nearly six months after the crime?
- Why were large counterparties paid with wire transfers, when requests from lowly customers for wires were converted to checks (which ultimately bounced)? "Sloppy is when you don't do things consistently. Sending all checks to customers and all wires to counterparties--that's consistent." See here for details published by John Roe of the Commodity Customer Coalition.
- Why were the final days characterized as so "chaotic" when a properly programmed iPhone or Android smart phone (sorry, RIMM) should have been able to handle what amounts to maybe a few dozen megabytes of transfer instructions?
- Just what were the details surrounding the successful lobbying effort by top level MF Global execs that effectively postponed reforms on rules that would limit use of customer funds (coincidentally, or not perhaps, just ahead of a $325 million bond offering by MF Global)? [For more details, see our prior piece from this week, which includes exclusive CFTC emails on the issue.]
Compared to Corzine's former employer, Goldman Sachs, MF Global was a flea on an elephant's back. It had experienced a string of quarterly losses since 2007, was predominantly a Futures Commission Merchant (FCM) holding retail and institutional commodity and futures trading accounts, and had 80 regulatory actions against it since 1997. It had a securities brokerage unit with 300 to 400 U.S. accounts according to the trustee. How big those accounts were is unknown. If they were all institutional or hedge fund accounts, it could have been a sizeable operation. One known account, which presciently moved out before the bankruptcy, belonged to the $100 billion private energy firm, Koch Industries, majority owned by Charles and David Koch, financial backers to numerous corporate front groups.
It's time for Congress to put pressure on those in charge of this investigation and oversight to break their own glass of silence and dare them to utter the magic "F" word.

This is one of the articles where you feel like a child first visiting a chocolate factory... even after years of reading ZH
there is no way jpmorgan is going to give back the money. and if it comes close, they'll kill corzine and bury the story with his corpse. as much as people want to dump it on corzine he is just the face of a high level operation far bigger than corzine himself.
Fraud doesn't matter. Fraud is the business.
There are zero legal complications when "the incorporated" commit fraud.
For fuck's sake get a clue ZH, and quit wasting my time.
Sorry folks, but if I were injected with truth serum and then interviewed by Lauren, every answer to every question would be: "Yes, I'd love to rub melted butter all over you and eat you like a lobster................."
Smart, hot as hell, no BS. Whew............................
Your totally correct, I would also love to do the exact same thing. Also MF Global was acting as a front/bad bank/etc. for bad assets and it couldn't handle it.
He screwed over a bunch of prairie dog shooters. Why is he still alive?
Coming from those parts I can tell you that centerfire cartridges and varmint guns are ready if the law doesn't get this right, and right quick. Mister Corzine is a man that needs killing. But then, most of them do.
For every dollar they take in, the people that run these banks spend 2 on themselves, so it's not hard to imagine they're all insolvent and from time to time have to decide which turkey get cooked and carved up when they need cash.
One of these days they're going to turn on the stock market.
Has the case really gone cold? Or, are those who are in charge of the investigation, the "regulators" and the trustees, simply spraying teflon on every piece of sticky evidence that could lead to criminal prosecutions--and, ultimately--the recovery of stolen customer money?
Uh, yeah! And you expected what?
Where's J. Edgar Hoover when you need him?
Where was J Edgar in Nov 1963 when the country needed him?
Before or after the big Murchison shindig?
..he's pushing up the daisies
..but we do have Bumma who's a Marxist and believes in "fairness" and "social justice" and his socialist side-kick Joe Biden... despite Corzine being their top go-to economic advisor i'm sure these 2 creeps will put Party politics aside, not that they've said a friggin peep on the issue
seems the socialist elected as the 'Man of the People' just turns out to be another banker puppet ...what a shocker
He can't be both a socialist and a banker puppet. Make up your mind!
It's not called the Hoover building for nothing.
Incriminating evidence gets sucked up and disposed of later...
Sucked up and dressed as the opposite sex, then disposed of later
What the 2012 election will really determine is whether Corzine's pardon comes this year or next.
Gensler needs to be indicted and prosecuted.
They wonder why money is on the side and people have lost "faith" in the system.
They leave SHITS like this WEASEL untouched and let well connected presidential "bundlers" walk (after STEALING $1.2 billion).
Gunt-Gensler will get a pardon followed by promotion to the private sector.
Bank on it.
The people cant win, it's the wrong game.
Dear Lauren Lyster;
Excellent piece on the continuing shenanigans by our corrupt politicians in the MF Global $1.6 billion dollar looting of segregated customer funds. If politicians and Wall Street are allowed to sweep this under the rug, it will confirm their criminality and more importantly, the US financial system will be severely damaged. Investing professionals will not take lightly the possibility of having their money stolen, and will go elsewhere.
The trust is gone; it now has to be earned. Putting Jon Corzine in prison and returning MFG customers' money is the first step.
Obviously, the Fed-Fuckup-Cartel will print more trust.
PRESTO! Real cheese.
Sounds like Corzine and J.C. Flowers planned the whole thing all along.
Remember Lind/Waldock? Yeah, tons of commercials on CNBC? They were bought out by MF Global months before customer money was "vaporized".
I'd bet an ounce of Gold Jon "Teflon Dom" Corzine knew he could milk more regular folk's money out of that before he sank the Bismark (sorry, "MF").
You would think that someone running for POTUS would point out the connection Obama > John Corzine > MF Global > Goldman Sachs..
Then you'd also point out the bank rollers and stewards of Romney's fortune being Goldman Sachs..
Sad that Ron Paul doesn't really want to be POTUS..
Hey, I like the guy, (Ron Paul); it's really nice being able to hear something that makes sense once in a while; but if you elect him, you'll kill him. I don't think he deserves it. You don't actually think Lee Harvey Oswald shot JFK, do you? I mean, are you naive? They murdered old Julius on the floor of the Roman Senate, you know, sacred place. this has been going on for a while now.
Then you'd also point out the bank rollers and stewards of Romney's fortune being Goldman Sachs..
I thought his hedge fund was significantly bankrolled by right wing investors from El Salvador. Some of whom were alledgedly supporters of the death squads.
Point it out?? Seriously, holmes?
Fuck, this is 100% by acciden.
I guarantee that Uncle Sam will pay the difference. This is the fucking racket you live in. Fraud pays, and so does the taxpayer.
The rule of law does not apply.
Koch Brothers?! These creatures are more evil than Obama and all of Bushes combined. They should be hung 100 times than dismembered, burned and fed to pigs.
Koch Brothers?!
These creatures are more evil than Obama and all of Bushes combined.

Still an order of magnitude below Soros evil, he picked the bones after BK
It looks like the Eastern European tribe of junk dealers is alert and on duty.
Got some junk for ya right here,fishface.
How funny would it be if MF 'disappeared' the SEIU gangsters skim money?
"Jon Corzine's body found in car trunk at Newark airport parking lot."
Theyre not laws if no one prosecutes them. All the government, none of the laws. Idiots blame it on capitalism. Sometimes some will say it's big corporations... The problem is putting your faith in the government to begin with. There's nothing the government can do about a crisis in confidence when that confidence has been eroded by years of state sanctioned fraud. There's nothing they can say or do to restore credibility.
I would have thought some damage control and a show trial by now. Maybe a perp walk or two. Nothing. Just a lot of angry people who want their money back.
Great article. Great questions raised. I'm afraid there are few in Congress with the brain capacity to demand answers.
Like you, 8 people have great memories, they're just really really short.
Remind me who Bill Black worked for again? Is it just me or does the 1,000 plus convictions he eked out kinda refute your ideological blather?
The problem isn't 'expecting those who get paid in tax-payer dollars to do their jobs', it's in them actually not doing their jobs... big difference there.
Capitalism isn't the problem, unmitigated capitalism is. Idiotic echochambermaids don't know the difference, and prey on duped zealots who have memories as unbelievably stunted as their own.
The reasons why the SEC is covering this thing up is because the amount of money stolen just keeps on growing. Currently the total is 28.- 3.9 billion - but who knows? This is just another example of the commming crash. Evenutally even the sheeple stop watching Pop Idol...
A funny story...I met Corzine at Mf function in Geneva.. the most underwhelming public figure/CEO you could ever come across.. he looked like a Geography teacher... apologies to Geography teachers the world over.. However apart from looking like a big of shite he laso talked the bigeest load of bollocks I have ever heard... At the "excusive" round table dinner, Big John enquired whether the local housing market was priced in US Dollars.... WTF.!!!!!..... to say one could hear a pin drop... EX CEO of Goldies/Ex Governor of.. EX..of this/that.. CHF was the strongest performing ccy in the world at that point.. What a bell end.
That's very revealing; I'm grateful to you for posting it. It's very helpful in understanding the play. As far as I know his actual history is a complete failure; he was dumped at Goldman for following Russian Bonds into the toilet, but they gave him a golden handshake with the newly acquired public money, (IPO), so right away we have a confused public who thinks he's smart becaue he has x hundred million dollars, when actually he has shit for brains. Notice he did exactly the same thing at MF Global, followed the (obvious) shit Euro Bonds into the toilet; making margin re-ups, averaging down, the whole ignorant civilian, non-professional, program; until his bankers cut him off. Kind of a one-trick pony, with no actual knowledge of markets or how to function in the world at all.
A complete failure! I worked at Mf for 14 years - a 225 year old company that he destroyed within 18 months - I spoke with him regarding the outlook on mkts just after he joined the firm. I was clear in my persepective that the crisis was far from over, he looked at me like I was an alien and more or less ushered me out of his office and I took that as a cue to leave the firm. I have to thank him for this, at least.
Well, he was also a politician in the US, so you know he is brain-dead to begin with.
Luckily for him, hired guns don't need to be that smart.
Just well connected.

OH THAT Buffett rule !....http://activitypit.ning.com/forum/topics/warren-buffet-is-sues-the-irs-s...
strange the WalMart thing is getting more press then MFGlobal.
Why, why.
Because the whole thing was executed at the orders of the banking cartel.
They will not prosecute anybody on this. The US needs a second revolution.
I'm tempted to believe, that all this cover-up activity is needed to keep the gold and silver trading scam unexposed.
Basically, they blew up the bridge leading to the Comex vault.

Focus: Will synergies lift Ahold Delhaize in US?
The merger between European retailers Ahold and Delhaize is significant because it will allow the group's to scale up in the key US market,...
Changing consumer behaviour is having a transformational impact on the US food and food retail sectors, as consumers alter where they shop and what they buy. The growing popularity of non-traditional channels has resulted in a jump in consolidation. Traditional supermarkets are seeking strength through scale, as evidenced by the deal that could see Albertsons owner Cerberus take control of Safeway. Dean Best reports.
Ahold's shares rose yesterday after the retail giant's fourth-quarter margins beat market forecasts. However, some analysts believe the Dutch grocer faces challenges at home and in its biggest overseas market, the US.
The world of international food retail has undoubtedly got a little less international in recent years and 2014 looks likely to see the big guns continue to take an empire-building breather and sort out their troubled home markets while undertaking only modest overseas activities. Glynn Davis reports.
It can be difficult to identify common trends across markets but, in many ways, two key trends dominated the grocery retail sector in 2013 in a number of countries - the durability of discounters and the heightened interest and investment in developing multichannel retail businesses.
Latest Interviews
Sweden-based retailer ICA now has one owner after Ahold, the Dutch retail giant and its largest shareholder, sold out to venture partner Hakon Invest, the Swedish investment fund. Michelle Russell spoke with Hakon CFO Göran Blomberg about Hakon's strategy for the business and the benefits he hopes the deal will bring.
Netherlands-based food retail group Ahold has recently committed itself to a range of sustainability targets. Speaking with Ben Cooper for this month's Sustainability Watch, Ahold's executive vice president and chief corporate governance counsel, Lodewijk Hijmans van den Bergh, expands on the company's approach to sustainability and the need to balance ambition and pragmatism.
Latest News
This week has been bumper for food sector M&A. Ferrero announced that it is gobbling up UK chocolate maker Thorntons. JBS is taking control of Moy Park from heavily indebted Brazilian meat group Marfrig. Grupo Bimbo also announced it has purchased parts of Spanish baker Panrico. Meanwhile, in the world of retail, Delhaize and Ahold revealed plans to combine. Here is just-food's top news and insight coverage from this week.
Spojené Farmy, a Czech supplier of organic food, is set to be sold to CPI Property Group, a local real estate company.
Fairtrade chocolate company Divine Chocolate has announced listings at a number of US mainstream retailers.
Shares in Hilton Food Group dropped today (9 September) after the UK meat supplier's guidance for the rest of 2014 prompted analysts to downgrade their forecasts.
The biggest story of the week came as it started - with the announcement of the proposed merger between banana giants Chiquita Brands International and Fyffes. Elsewhere, UK grocers Morrisons and The Co-operative Group grabbed the headlines - the former for its bid to revive sales and the latter for the resignation of its chief executive.
Ahold today (11 March) announced a deal to buy Spar International's business in the Czech Republic.
Shares in Ahold climbed today (27 February) despite a drop in fourth-quarter net income after the Dutch retail giant's operating profit and margins came in above analyst forecasts.
US group Hain Celestial swooped again in the UK last week, snapping up UK rice business Tilda. Meanwhile, obesity grabbed UK headlines with warnings forecasts for the condition could have under-estimated the problem. Fonterra issued another product recall, Saputo received a boost in its bid to buy Warrnambool Cheese and Butter Factory, while our first just-food interview of 2014 saw us meet Quorn Foods CEO Kevin Brennan.
A fall in fourth-quarter sales in the US hit shares in Giant Food and Stop & Shop owner Ahold in early trade today (16 January).
All three bidders for Australian dairy Warrnambool Cheese and Butter Factory tabled revised offers this week - with the takeover target still backing Canada's Saputo. Meanwhile, Mexican food group Sigma has made a move for Spanish meats firm Campofrio. And our latest just-food interview saw Orkla CEO Age Korsvold talk about the Nordic group's plans for FMCG.
This week saw a continued focus on M&A, as further evidence of the global trend towards consoidation in the sector emerged. The battle for Australia's Warrnambool Cheese and Butter Factory rumbled on and Mexico's Sigma launched a takeover bid for Spain's Campofrio.
Ahold has reached a deal to sell its Slovakian operations to local retailer Condorum for an undisclosed sum.
Shares in Ahold fell more than 5% in morning trade today (14 November) as the firm's third-quarter results raised concerns over the Dutch retailer's domestic market share.
Ahold has expanded its online business in the US with the opening of a new fulfillment centre in Pennsylvania.
Netherlands-based retailer Ahold has confirmed plans to expand Peapod, its online business in the US.
Dutch retailer Ahold is looking to improve its price positioning by slashing prices on branded goods and expanding its budget line of own-label products.
Dutch retail giant Ahold has remained silent on claims it is preparing to sell its Slovakian operations.
After Lindt & Sprungli reported higher solid first-half results last week, just-food interviewed the Swiss chocolate group's CEO Ernst Tanner to discuss its growth in mature markets and its patient strategy in developing economies. New Zealand's dairy sector continued to be in the spotlight after another recall of ingredients headed in China. Elsewhere, Heinz's new owners continued their plans to streamline its business, US food firm JM Smucker made a notable move in gluten free with the acquisition of Enray and we spoke to the creator of Powerful Yogurt, a product initially devised for men in the US and now looking at broadening its consumer base and expanding overseas.
The results continued to roll in last week and we heard from the likes of Hain Celestial and Ahold on how they performed and their outlook for the year ahead. Just-food also spoke with Lindt & Sprüngli CEO Ernst Tanner, who told us about how the company is convincing consumers to trade up - and why he sees cause for optimism in developed markets.
ICA Gruppen, the Sweden-based retailer, has reported higher profits but lower sales for the first full quarter since coming under new ownership.
Ahold saw its earnings soar in the first half of the year as the Dutch retailer benefited from the disposal of its stake in ICA earlier this year.
The Australian venture between listed UK meat supplier Hilton Food Group and Woolworths, the country's largest retailer, is to expand, with the construction of a new plant.

SAO PAULO (AP) — Construction is back under way at Maracana stadium as the IOC arrived to inspect the venue that will host the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro.
Work had been halted Monday as employees demanded better wages and benefits, but they returned to the construction site Tuesday after Rio's governor got involved in the negotiation and said a better offer was going to be made.
The union representing the workers said a full-scale strike was still possible depending on the new offer, but work was back to normal as the coordination commission for the 2016 Games made its visit.
Meanwhile, the company claiming ownership of the land where the Olympic golf course will be built says it will notify the IOC about the ongoing dispute.

One of the most eagerly-awaited moments of the Trofeo Maserati awards ceremony was when news broke about the 2014 Trofeo calendar.
It was like a scene from A Thousand and One Nights. Perhaps this is a slight exaggeration but it provides an idea of the stage Maserati prepared to celebrate a memorable 2013 season. The splendid, futuristic Yas Marina circuit hosted a gala evening to pay homage to the championship's stars after an intense year.
Overgaard drove well and made up seven places. He promised to return to Abu Dhabi where he enjoyed an amazing experience.
The tenth place earned by Stefano Zanini and Piero Foglio pleased the Monaco-based driver. "We finally got our hands on the car, one I had never driven on this track", reflected Zanini. "We struggled a bit before but our aim was to finish in the top ten and we did it.
The Abu Dhabi meet saw another family team line up alongside the De Leeners.
Making his debut in a Maserati, Massimo Mantovani, the seasoned GT3 driver, showed that he was an able replacement for Alberto Cola. Mantovani's experience was helpful for the young Patrick Gobbo at Abu Dhabi.
Nielsen ended the 2013 Trofeo Maserati season with sixteenth spot in Race 3. The result pleased the Dane as this was his first outing at Abu Dhabi.
An apprenticeship can vary in length but when the results produced are similar to those of Carlo Curti in Race 3, it is something special.
Ange Barde (1° Overall, 1° Trofeo): "I am pleased to have ended the year with another win; the third in succession if you just consider the endurance events. Today Renaud got off to a great start but then I did well to overtake him at the second turn and move into the lead
Bettini, making a Trofeo Maserati return, came home eleventh in Race 1, just missing out on the points.

I am using ArcMap 10.0. I am trying to edit (and add) vertices in a polygon.
I start editing, (using "Edit Vertices" tool), and add many vertices in the polygon.
Then when I am done, I save the changes. But, the image gets simplified and I lose many of the additions!
What happened? Why is the editor deleting some vertices and simplifying the polygon? Is there a way to turn off this feature or default? Or am I doing something terribly wrong?

Entellium, a troubled Seattle software company, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection today, paving the way for some assets to be sold to financial software maker Intuit.
Troubled Seattle software company Entellium filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection today, paving the way for some assets to be sold to financial software maker Intuit, company representatives said.
Entellium is selling its intellectual property to Intuit, Entellium acting Chief Executive Charles Miller said today. Miller and about 10 other Entellium employees have been keeping the company operating since October, when its chief executive and financial officer abruptly resigned and most employees were laid off.
Former CEO Paul Johnston and financial officer Parrish Jones have since been charged with fraud for grossly inflating company revenues to lure investors.
Today's filing "allows the company to reorganize and basically gives the company some breathing room, not only from lawsuits but also time to freeze all its debts and administer the estate in an orderly fashion," said Katriana Samiljan, an attorney with Bush, Strout and Kornfeld who is representing Entellium.

Entellium's bankruptcy filing in federal court says the company has $37.7 million in assets and $12.7 million in liabilities. It lists intellectual property assets as six registered trademarks and trademark applications, including its Rave brand customer relationship management software, and 22 registered domain names.
The bankruptcy filing lists creditors as Ignition Venture Partners, WestRiver Capital of Kirkland, Malaysia Venture Capital Management, Middlefield Ventures, Sigma Partners and Silicon Valley Bank.
The filing includes an 11-page list of equity security holders across the U.S. and in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Dubai and Sri Lanka.
In a separate filing late Monday, attorneys for Johnston and Jones agreed to extend the deadline for an indictment to Dec. 29. And Jones' attorney said he has reached an agreement with federal prosecutors to resolve the case and expects to set a plea hearing the week of Dec. 15.

Veteran talks about his Vietnam War experience
Published: Monday, October 24, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, October 24, 2005 at 9:10 p.m.
The basement study of retired Air Force Col. William Stanley's Hendersonville home is filled with photos of airplanes, models of miniature jets and other memorabilia from his 30-year military career, but those unique keepsakes cannot compare to the personal stories he has to tell.
William T. Stanley
Born: Feb. 15, 1934 in Marion County, S.C.
Joined Air Force: 2nd Lieutenant, Sept. 22, 1956
Retired Air Force: Colonel, Nov. 1, 1986
Military decorations: Silver Star, Purple Heart, Legion of Merit, Distinguished Flying Cross (with two Oak Leaf Clusters), Meritorious Service Medal (with two Oak Leak Clusters) and Air Medal (with 15 Oak Leaf Clusters).
Post military life: McDonnell Douglas Aviation advisor for the
F-15 E program, High School Air Force Junior ROTC instructor for 12 years (including starting the program at East Henderson High in 1993)
You might expect an aviator awarded both a Silver Star for a Vietnam rescue mission and a Purple Heart for being shot down during that same conflict to have those military decorations on display, but you would be wrong.
"I dust the awards off sometimes to show the grandkids, but I don't take them out much because I know there were a lot of people who did the same things I did but didn't have somebody around to write them up," said the humble 71-year-old South Carolina native.
After three decades in the service and another dozen years as an instructor in high school Air Force Junior ROTC programs, Stanley's last plane ride in the pilot's seat was in 1991 before the medical condition ocular hypertension grounded him.
But the military man who has four children, seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, says not being able to take to the skies under his own direction doesn't bother him.
"I don't miss it that much anymore," he said. "I've outgrown it over the years, I guess."
A life in aviation instruction
A 22-year-old Bill Stanley graduated from the University of South Carolina in June 1956, with a degree to teach math and physical education, but he also had an Air Force commission as an outstanding graduate of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps.
Stanley was told he would not need to report for pilot training until January 1957, so with some time on his hands, he accepted a temporary job as a math teacher and sports coach at Conway High School in South Carolina.
Those plans didn't last long.
"I got a letter from the service saying I was to report to active duty pilot training in September," he recalled. "I told the officer I had been told I could make other plans until January of that year but his reply was 'Son, you don't understand. Those are orders.'"
Never one to shirk duty, 2nd Lt. Stanley reported for training at Lackland Air Force Base near San Antonio and received his wings as a single-engine fighter pilot in 1957.
During the next decade, Stanley was stationed at various military bases, where he honed his skills to become an expert aviator, particularly when he was in the cockpit of the F-4 Phantom II aircraft.
Stanley showed such skill in the air that in 1969, he was picked to be the senior instructor pilot for the Republic of South Korea's Air Force during their training for the Vietnam War.
"It was like having your own little Air Force," Stanley said of his time teaching the finer points of a fighter plane could travel twice the speed of sound.
A particular teaching session still stands out in Stanley's mind because of how much it tested the teacher flying in the second seat.
"I took one of their pilots out for a night flight," Stanley said. "He was all over the sky, then missed the runway completely. I asked him, 'When was the last time you flew at night?' and he replied, 'Five years ago.' I said I reckoned I had better land it from the backseat that night. We got on the ground safely, but it sure was an interesting experience."
Shot down overenemy territory
It was during Stanley's 191st combat mission that he experienced what was arguably the most dramatic event of his military career.
On Dec. 17, 1971, Stanley was enroute to the Chinese-Vietnam border with another fighter plane to provide air cover for a rescue mission involving a F-4 pilot who had been shot down. On the way to that location, Stanley noticed several enemy aircraft on the radar. That prompted the U.S. fighter jets to chase the enemy planes back to Hanoi.
After engaging the enemy over North Vietnam, Stanley's plane came under attack by three surface-to-air missile batteries. One missile exploded near Stanley's aircraft causing major damage.
"We came down low and tried to make it back to Laos, but we had 25 miles to make it back to friendly territory," the aviator said. "The Phantom had hydraulic failure, we were on fire and we were out of gas. After my wingman said he had to move on without us, me and my weapons systems operator ejected from the aircraft at 5,000 feet."
The mission was far from over. After parachuting into dense trees at night, Stanley established radio contact with an Air America plane and arranged for his rescue.
To keep the enemy away from the downed pilot overnight, an American military helicopter dropped light explosives and sneeze-inducing denial powder near Stanley's location to frighten enemy soldiers away until help could come back in the morning.
As Stanley hid in the brush with his handgun at the ready, he saw the first rescue helicopter arrive close to sunrise.
Unfortunately, some of the still-active denial powder dropped by the earlier aircraft had lodged on a ledge in the mountainous countryside. The helicopter's rotors stirred up the powder and the crew of the chopper had no choice but to abort the planned rescue.
Hours later, a second helicopter came under heavy attack from enemy on the ground and Stanley got a more ominous piece of advice.
"We suggest you find cover somewhere else," Stanley said he remembers being told over the radio.
The downed pilot then ran through the enemy countryside in search of a new hiding place, which ended up being almost exactly where his parachute had initially landed.
Later that afternoon, Stanley established contact with a third helicopter and again arranged for his escape. After the aircraft dropped a metal cone-like sling attached to a winch into the jungle, Stanley's rescue was almost complete.
"All sorts of people where shooting at us as the helicopter pulled out and I took a beating from the trees as they helicopter was climbing up," he said.
After making it inside the helicopter, Stanley learned he had not escaped unscathed.
"One of the men said, 'Major, you need to lay down.' I said, 'What for?' and he said 'You're bleeding like a stuck pig.' Turns out, as I was being lifted out of the jungle someone had shot me in the leg."
After receiving first aid for the wound, Stanley stayed on board while the helicopter went to pick up his weapons systems operator and deliver both airmen to safety in Thailand.
A photo of Stanley enjoying a post-rescue cigar with his brothers in arms is included in the Faces from the Vietnam War exhibit at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum in Austin, Texas. But the celebration did not last long.
At that time, American pilots were not supposed to fly into North Vietnam unless they were under attack or if they had pre-briefed and certified crews for that purpose.
Stanley had chased after the enemy planes to keep them from attacking the downed F-4 pilot without orders to do so. His act of heroism over Hanoi was technically a violation of Air Force policy.
The young pilot had earned the Purple Heart for being wounded on the battlefield, but when Stanley was released from a military hospital his commanding officer still chewed him out.
"After my rescue, he told me that he did not know whether to recommend me for an Air Force Cross or a court-martial," Stanley said. "I suggested neither ... and only because of God working through my superior officers and supporting personnel am I here today."
Awards for action
Receiving the Purple Heart was not the last time Stanley was decorated for his actions.
On Jan. 2, 1972, he was the flight leader during a combat mission over the mountains of Southern Laos when he received word that 150 members of the Air America flight control who were surrounded and under attack near the area where his mission had just wrapped.
The three other planes flying with Stanley were either running low on fuel or had exhausted all their weapons during the previous mission, leaving Stanley the only pilot able to divert to the allies location and drop bombs on enemy targets.
Without any other air assistance, his plane destroyed the anti-aircraft weapons and more than 300 members of the enemy force.
The military awarded Stanley the Silver Star for "outstanding heroics and gallantry in action," but the experience it is not something he likes to speak about at length.
"I would just as soon not describe it, because it involved the killing of 'x' numbers of the enemy in order to save lives," Stanley said. "I am not too proud of the killing."
Stanley received other military decorations during his 30 years in the service, including the Distinguished Flying Cross and Meritorious Service Medal, but he said to him those honors were for "just doing good work on the job."
Life outside the combat zone
After Vietnam, Stanley spent more of his time overseas. He served 11 of his 30 active duty years overseas, including stints with the U.S. Air Force Europe and NATO Operations at Ramstein Air Base in Germany.
He returned to the states to work with the Pentagon, concentrating on weapons systems and deployment plans. He was also the Air Force ROTC professor of Aerospace Studies at West Virginia University from 1982 to 1985.
"It was interesting, but you just didn't see the results of your work like you did with flying," he said.
After retiring from active military duty in 1986, Stanley worked briefly with McDonnell Douglas Aviation on the F-15 E program and found another career as a high school Air Force ROTC instructor at the Florida Air Academy.
Following six years in that position, he moved to Henderson County to start the AFJROTC unit at East Henderson High School and oversaw its progress until 1999.
"I liked working with the young people and helping them along," he said. "I didn't find it any more rewarding than flying airplanes, but I enjoyed most of the students and made some good friends over the years."
Stanley said he still hears from many of his pupils regularly, even some who did not make the Air Force their career.
"ROTC gives young people an opportunity to determine what they want to do and really allows them to find what they're best at," the former teacher said. "When I could tell they were starting to drift, I would think of a story from my past to grab their attention and keep their interest."
As is often the case with adventurous students, sometimes the former fighter pilot would be asked about the tense times he saw during his 200 combat missions in Vietnam.
The retired colonel said he understood his students' interest, but he never wanted to glorify the sometimes fatal encounters.
"They would ask if I ever killed anyone, and I'd say 'Yes, but I don't recommend it,'" he said. "War is terrible. That's why we need to be ever vigilant to avoid it."

TCU tops Oklahoma State 7-1 for Big 12 title
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — TCU's Tyler Alexander was demoted to the bullpen after his last outing against Oklahoma State. The freshman left-hander showed he learned a big lesson from that experience.
Alexander threw his first career complete game, a four-hitter, and Dylan Fitzgerald hit a two-run single during a decisive four-run fourth inning and TCU beat Oklahoma State 7-1 on Sunday in the Big 12 Conference tournament title game.
"I don't want to understate it, because it was phenomenal what (Alexander) did," coach Jim Schlossnagle said. "Oklahoma State has a really veteran, physical, offensive team and he did a great job of just commanding all three pitches and throwing at the bottom of the strike zone."
In making its argument for a top-eight seed in the upcoming NCAA tournament, TCU (42-15) won its first team title — in either the regular season or postseason — in any sport since joining the Big 12 before the 2012-13 school year. The Horned Frogs have won 27 of their last 30 games, including four straight in the conference tournament.
It's a long way from last year, when the Horned Frogs scuffled their way to a 29-28 mark and a seventh-place finish in their first season in the Big 12.
"These guys have earned it," Schlossnagle said. "Most of the guys on this team . had to go through a nightmare last year. It's not life or death, but it wasn't fun, especially for the standards this program has.
"I just like to see the smiles on their faces, because I know what great people they are. All those guys have been through a lot and I like seeing them rewarded, because they've earned it."
TCU and Oklahoma State (45-16) both are among the 16 teams that will host a NCAA tournament regional. Oklahoma State was the Big 12 regular-season champion, finishing a game ahead of TCU. With 45 wins, the Cowboys already have recorded their most wins in a season since 1999, when they reached the College World Series.
The difference Sunday was that while TCU had a fresh pitcher in Alexander, the Cowboys — who had to come through the losers' bracket — were playing their sixth game in five days and were almost out of effective pitching. By game's end, the Cowboys used sophomore outfielder Corey Hassel, who hadn't pitched since high school, to throw the eighth inning.
"At the end of the day, the value of staying in the winners' bracket showed itself," Schlossnagle said.
Alexander (9-3) established a tone early, as nine of his 10 first-inning pitches were strikes. He finished with four strikeouts and no walks and allowed only two baserunners past second base.
"I pitch best when I pitch ahead in the count," Alexander said. "That's a big part of me keeping my pitch count low."
Kevin Cron singled and scored on Jerrick Suiter's groundout in the second inning to give Texas Christian a 1-0 lead. Oklahoma State tied it in the top of the third when Tim Arakawa scored on a safety squeeze bunt single by Saulyer Saxon.
Oklahoma State starter Michael Freeman (2-1) walked the bases loaded with one out in the fourth before Fitzgerald singled up the middle to put the Horned Frogs up 3-1. Another run scored on a groundout by Keaton Jones and Oklahoma State catcher Bryan Case's second passed ball of the inning allowed Fitzgerald to score, making it 5-1.
In the fifth, TCU's Garrett Crain walked with two outs, stole second base and scored on a single by Suiter, who was named as the tournament's most outstanding player. Freeman, who entered having thrown 9 1/3 innings all season, lasted until leaving the game with a cramped hamstring in the sixth inning.

Hello friends,
Got the 1965 Moulton 4 Speed, pretty good shape. Right now im de-rusting everything before assembly, that way i give it some love and a make sure my bike can last 40 years more.
Started with steel wool, but rapidly learned this to be a wrong way to restore my baby. After searchs and much ponderation i bought some OXALIC ACID this stuff has yielded amazin result for many
My Moulton crank has the most rust of all parts, so i need to take the star and pedal appart but i dont seem to understand how to dis-assemble it! tryed making searches withou good results.... i know theres a couple of you that have moultons like PDR whom has a fleet of them hahaha....HOW DO YOU HANDLE CRANKS on Moultons?
i wanna ride my bike so badly!! but still think i ought to wait, it took 2 weeks to get here, but the usps says 2 to 6 weeks i can still wait 4 weeks to ride it
Another thing i noticed is the tires on my Moulton say 45 psi, which means in my book this wheels wont perform according to 1965's standard
wait till you see this bike! its a beauty....what color is this, i see gray, but im thinking it was white? i also would need new decals since orignal ones are 99% gone.
all good post have pics..

U.S., Japan wary on N. Korea
TOKYO - U.S. Ambassador to Japan Thomas Schieffer and Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Aso met Saturday night amid mounting speculation North Korea could soon test a Taepodong-2 missile capable of reaching the United States with a light payload.
Aso warned North Korea today that if it launched a missile that dropped on Japan, Tokyo would regard it as an attack on Japan.
Aso told reporters that the situation was "serious" and that North Korea had been warned not to fire the missile. "How we will respond depends on what North Korea does," he said.
"If it is dropped on Japan, it will complicate the story. It will be regarded as an attack," Aso said on a Fuji TV program, referring to the missile. "The possibility is not zero of a missile dropping on Japan. That's why we are worried."
Japan has grown increasingly tense as news reports emerge that Pyongyang could soon launch the missile. North Korea fired a missile over northern Japan into the Pacific Ocean in 1998, and the move spurred Tokyo to work with Washington on a missile defense system.
Schieffer, the U.S. ambassador to Japan, reiterated Washington's stance that the test would be a dangerous act that would hurt North Korea.
"We hope that the North Koreans will not take this provocative action. We hope that they will return to the six-party talks," Schieffer said, referring to international talks aiming to get North Korea to give up its nuclear program.
Those talks - involving the United States, the two Koreas, China, Japan and Russia - have been stalled by a North Korean boycott.
A launch "will only isolate the North Koreans further from the rest of the international community," he said.
Schieffer said Washington was working with allies on how to respond if North Korea goes ahead with the launch, but he refused to be specific, saying only that "all options are on the table."
White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said a North Korean missile launch would violate a moratorium on long- range missile tests declared in 1999 by North Korean leader Kim Jong Il.
"This would be yet another instance of North Korea violating the international commitments it has made," she said.
A U.S. government official told The Associated Press on Friday that a test of the Taepodong-2 may be imminent. The official agreed to speak but only on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information.
South Korean media reports said the North had loaded booster rockets onto a launch pad in preparation for the test.
South Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo reported Saturday that North Korea also moved about 10 fuel tanks to the launch site in preparation for the test.
It said intelligence authorities from Seoul and Washington had made the assessment, based on satellite images, that the North had loaded booster rockets onto a launch pad and moved the fuel tanks close by. The paper quoted an unidentified high-level South Korean government official.
South Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman Choo Kyu-ho could not confirm the report.
Japan's Sankei Shimbun newspaper, citing government officials it did not name, said the Japanese government had dispatched two Aegis destroyers to the Sea of Japan and the Pacific Ocean. Hidetsugu Iwamasa, a Japanese naval official, said he could not comment on the report, citing security concerns.
