Helga van d**e skincare HVD skin care Failure to provide me with refund Santa Ana California
Does your business have a bad reputation?

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Approximately three weeks ago I returned an item to the aforementioned company and have yet to receive a refund to my credit card or via postal services (check). As I was having difficulty reaching the company via email and telephone, I had a colleague contact the company via telephone. The owner stated he would only accept an exchange; however, his website did not state anything regarding this policy. When informed of that, he then said I could go to the office and he will write me a check.
As I am a woman and do not feel safe meeting this man and do not wish to take a day off of work to drive to Santa Ana, I sent him several emails, texts and attempted to call again stating he needed to send me a refund via postal services. I also expressed that I only wished he contact me in writing. It should be noted, he has failed to refund me or contact me in writing. I have never dealt with such horrible customer service in my life! I made the payment online and I do not understand the difficulty in simply crediting my credit card. I feel I have been stolen from now, as his product had been returned and the $60.00 I spent for that product. Furthermore, it should be noted I spent over $700.00 on products from this company and am completely taken aback why he cannot simply refund me the measly $60.00!

Info reg. no refund
SUBMITTED: Sunday, November 10, 2013POSTED: Sunday, November 10, 2013
I happen to have first hand knowledge about David Van d**e, This woman did the absolute right thing in not meeting with him. The reason why he wanted you to meet with him and write a check is because he wasn't really planning on writing you a check. He planned to work you over with charm and fast talk in giving you an exchange. Helga Van d**e would roll over in her grave if she could see what has become of her company. This office is located in some dingy low budget commercial office building right next to a freeway with tenants that you would only meet in prison. The reason why is can't give you a refund is because he has no money to give a refund. He can't even afford the product to make his skincare.
From what I have observed it is my opionion that this company will be out of business and the owner will be in prison within 2 years if not sooner. Due to seeing first hand what has been done to anyone making or saying negative remarks against this company and owner I remain annoynmous. Everything I have stated is the truth.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

text: LAKE OSWEGO, Ore., March 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Greenbrier Companies, Inc. [NYSE:GBX] announced today that it received new orders in January, February, and March for 5,400 railcar units valued at approximately $575 million. To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/greenbrier-announces-new-orders-for-5400-railcars-valued-at-575-million-200279611.html These orders are broad-based across a range of railcar types including automotive-related rail products, tank cars, double-stack intermodal platforms, boxcars and various types of covered hopper cars. Continued strength in energy and industrial chemical markets led to orders for nearly 2,700 of Greenbrier's higher margin tank cars. The Company also received orders for over 700 automotive-related rail products including 89-foot flatcars and the Company's proprietary Multi-Max™ auto racks in North America, and for open and closed car carriers in Europe. The remaining orders are for double-stack intermodal platforms, boxcars, mill gondola cars and covered hopper cars, including an initial order for the Company's new plastic pellet car. The new orders are in addition to the orders for 4,200 railcars valued at $430 million reported in Greenbrier's press release dated January 7, 2013. Since September 1, 2012, the beginning of the fiscal year, Greenbrier has received orders for nearly 9,600 railcars in North America and Europe valued at over $1 billion, consisting of approximately 4,000 tank cars, 2,100 automotive-related flatcars or racks, and with the balance across a broad range of other railcar types. William A. Furman, president and chief executive officer of Greenbrier said, "Our railcar manufacturing strategy is to diversify our new railcar product offerings, to reduce reliance on a single commodity or railcar type at any given time and to benefit from growth in demand for various railcar types, including tank cars, frac sand cars, and plastic pellet cars for the rapidly expanding North American energy and chemicals markets. This strategy continues to bear fruit. As these orders demonstrate, we are able to flexibly and nimbly respond to emerging trends and to our customers' varied railcar needs with a flexible and geographically diverse manufacturing footprint." TANK CARS Furman also noted, "The strength in the energy markets continues to produce strong demand for our higher margin tank cars. Industry forecasts indicate tank car demand is expected to continue to be robust through 2015, and then settle back to baseline levels. We continue to ramp up our tank car production to meet this demand. By the end of calendar year 2013, we expect to be at an annual production rate of about 3,800 tank cars, nearly four times our fiscal 2012 production. Industry forecasts also indicate the rebounding economy and independent growth in certain commodities will continue to drive increasing demand for non-energy related railcars including intermodal, forest products, automotive, covered hopper and other car types where Greenbrier has been historically strong."

CRM can make your business work smarter. As part of our campaign on Smarter CRM, our Sage SalesLogix team have taken over our Sage Blog for one week. Sage SalesLogix is CRM without compromise. Supporting the way you do business providing you with a complete view of all your prospect and customer interactions across marketing, sales, customer service and support.
Having worked with ERP and CRM for more years than I care to remember, I've seen Sales, Marketing and Customer Service channels grow massively in the last few years and now, more than ever before, professional people need to be able to make decisions quickly, knowing that they are basing these on live, accurate data and presented in a format that is usable specifically for them.
There are many good reporting tools in the market today but we often still rely on reports that are run at defined intervals, be it monthly, weekly or daily. The disadvantage of this information is that it's provided very much after the fact. In today's fast paced and challenging world, where every pound is fought over, we need to be certain that our sales, marketing and customer services teams have the tools they need to ensure they are as effective and profitable as they can be.
Sage SalesLogix Advanced Analytics is a powerful, easy to use, interactive analytics solution that allows you to analyse data and key performance indicators from across your organisation for a deeper understanding of business and team performance and to identify the drivers of, and barriers to, success. With Advanced Analytics, all related information can be interrogated and presented in an easy to view graphical format and at the click of a button detailed information can be drilled into, as far as you choose to go.
Take for example a marketing manager generating a campaign for a new product release. Using Advanced Analytics he can access data from across the organisation in a single application (eg recent visits to events, support calls logged, visits from sales people, recent purchases etc) and using this data can create a data mashup to get the complete picture of each customer and their potential profitability.
By using Advanced Analytics, pertinent data can be used, interrogated and viewed in a multitude of ways, providing information that is far more meaningful than data represented in a spread-sheet or pre-defined report. With information like this at our fingertips what else can we do but succeed!

Doctor Who: Traveling Back in Time
By Richard Davies, AbeBooks
"We need someone to write something about science fiction," they said.
"But I'm not into sci-fi," I replied.
"You're British, you must like Doctor Who?"
"Sure, I watched all the shows as a kid…. Oh yeah, I had the books too. I had about 25 to 30 – they were white glossy paperbacks. I read them over and over again. Perhaps I can write something."
I do not regard myself as a fan of science fiction but if you were to dissect my lifetime reading material then a number of sci-fi books would appear. A couple of John Wyndhams, Ray Bradbury, 1984 and a few others, and I suspect there are other people apparently uninterested in sci-fi to be in this position.
But the more I think about it, Doctor Who - the time-traveling adventurer who uses brain rather than brawn - was a major part of my childhood. Most British households tuned in to watch the TV shows on a Saturday night in the 1970s and the evolution from one doctor to another was a major event in British pop culture. I started with the third doctor, Jon Pertwee (1970-74), who became Tom Baker (1974-81), who became Peter Davison (1981-84), who became Colin Baker (1984-86). I was vaguely aware of Sylvester McCoy in 1987-89 but the magic had long gone by then.
I remember Pertwee, who dressed like a bohemian dandy, as my favorite doctor. This was probably because it was the first time I was exposed to scary TV so it had a marked effect and nostalgia has tinged my memories. Baker's seven-year reign mirrored my discovery of books and the joy of reading. His booming voice and overacting is fondly remembered, and still parodied today.
The Doctor Who novelisations were always the poor relation of the TV episodes, but they proved addictive reading for a youngster with an imagination growing up in 1970s Britain. I had little interest in reading the books recounting TV episodes that I had already seen so I collected books detailing the adventures of the first two doctors – William Hartnell (1963-66) and Patrick Troughton (1966-69).
One Christmas, I had been given a hardback copy of a Doctor Who Omnibus featuring The Web of Fear and two other stories – Space War and Revenge of the Cybermen. I re-read those stories over and over again, but Web of Fear remained my favorite. If I ever ran out of reading material, I would pick up the Omnibus and read the Web of Fear. If you've ever been in London at rush-hour then the Underground can be a scary place especially when the tunnels fill up with murderous fog and there's a psychopathic yeti on the loose.
As a script writer, Dicks was one of Doctor Who's creative forces during the 1970s and also wrote many of Target's novelisations of the TV serials. His science fiction writing eventually evolved into general children's fiction. Several of Dicks' Dr Who novelisations stick in my mind, including The Genesis of the Daleks, The Pyramids of Mars and The Planet of the Spiders.
I believe there are three key elements to being a Doctor Who fan – choosing your favorite Doctor, choosing your favorite monster and choosing your favorite Doctor's assistant.
My favorite monster came from Doctor Who and the Sea Devils – Malcolm Hulke provided the novelisation. Although they only appeared in two storylines, the Sea Devils, ugly reptilians with a penchant for crawling out of the English Channel and zapping people, seemed to be extremely creative.
The Daleks – the quintessential alien bent on universal domination – always seemed faintly ridiculous because they used wheels to get around and they could be easily evaded by using stairs or moving onto bumpy ground. The Cybermen's Achilles Heel of toppling over when ever they came into contact with gold also seemed an odd weakness.
Although the Doctor enjoyed the company of many attractive young female assistants, Sarah Jane, Romana and Peri all spring to mind, my favorite assistant was actually UNIT – the United Nations Intelligence Taskforce .
This small group of military personnel accompanied the Doctor on a number of adventures from the late 1960s and into 1970s. Brigadier Colonel Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart was actually introduced in the Web of Fear and the Doctor acted as UNIT's scientific advisor when his adventures became more Earth-bound than Space-bound. The soldiers usually blundered into trouble and the Doctor saved them.
One particular UNIT adventure remains in my memory: Doctor Who and the Green Death. Dicks scripted the TV serial and I was six or seven when I watched it. The story, which turned into a novelisation by Hulke, featured deadly green maggots terrorizing a Welsh coalmine and the local community. Maggots are hardly going to take over the Universe but they featured prominently in my nightmares while the serial was airing. Since then maggots have always turned my stomach.
Of course, Doctor Who is alive and well after the BBC reintroduced everyone favorite's Timelord in 2005. I stopped watching the TV serials in the early 1980s and have not seen a single episode from the latest generation of shows. Doctor Who just seemed to fade away. I hope the latest novelisations are being read by a new generation of Doctor Who fans.

I did not sleep at all on my flights home and I came home a huge mess. I walked off the plane with a rash across my face, I guess I am carrying a little bit more home than I planned. I think that my body has finally reset its body clock and I would be able to sleep through the night if my face weren't burning all night.
In a lot of ways the trip doesn't end by getting home
I had to stop myself from throwing my banana peel out the window when I was in the car. I also need to retrain my standing in line behavior. When I first got to South Africa it drove me crazy that people would just push past me to get to the counter. The mentality is more, "well she just must not really want to get at the front if she is standing back there for no reason". Unknowingly I seem to have picked this habit up and I have caught myself pushing past people slowly filing into a line.There are a lot of little things like that which continue to happen.
I also brought back some music with me, and while it's nothing that outstanding it has been refreshing to hear Zulu (another language spoken in South Africa and closely related to Setswatsi). I will also recommend a movie from South Africa Tsotsi I believe that it won an Academy Award for best foreign film last year. While the location that I was working in Barberton is nothing in comparison to size of the township near Jo'burg it is a similar picture to the place I was working in
For any potential travelers reading this blog there is one thing I will do differently next time that I am abroad. I will only take two pairs of underwear. I will buy a second pair of this exoficco synthetic underwear that washes easily and drys in about an hour... and that's all you'll ever need. it's truly a bad ass way to travel.
while i was abroad I realized that I could be doing almost the same teaching/mentoring at home. I am planning to get involved in Walla Walla with some different projects this summer and I hope that I will be able to continue with them on into the school year.
I would also like to say thank you for all your support while I was away. All the comments and emails I got from family and friends were encouraging, it's nice to be able to feel supported even when I am so far away. enjoy the pictures... and i hope you enjoyed this blog... or log... or whatever, I thought it turned out nicely.
just to warn you the pictures a bit random, but most are from emanuel because I know none got up from there. there were also concerns that i only wore one yellow shirt while i was abraod. I assure you I did not wear my yellow shirt everyday... just most days.

All three finalists and seven runners up of the Resurgence Poetry Prize 2015 were female poets, it was revealed by the competition's cofounder, Joanna Lumley, to the select audience attending the Prize's award ceremony at the Leighton House Museum in London on Tuesday evening, 15 December 2015.
The Prize is the world's major eco-poetry award. The awards are made each year for original and previously unpublished poems in English which embrace ecological themes. With total prize money of £8,000, the award ranks amongst the highest of any English language single poem competition.
The Prize's stature is reflected in the senior nature of this year's judging panel of Sir Andrew Motion, Jo Shapcott and Alice Oswald.
Chairman of the judges, the former Poet Laureate, Sir Andrew Motion, praised the winning poem, Auguries, by Luisa Igloria, a well published and already award winning Filipina American poet, for its 'authenticity, intensity and cohesion'. The winner collected an award of £5,000.
'Overall, as a judging panel we we're impressed with the excellent standard of the poems submitted' said Sir Andrew. 'Poetry has always played a critical role in reflecting the preoccupations of each age, and few would argue that our planet's ecological integrity is one of the major issues of our time', he said.
Second prize of £2,000 was awarded to Claire Collison for The Architect, and third prize of £1,000 to Meredi Ortega for her poem Moving into Hannah's House.

HoS: Jeepers, you're looking fit Dick, especially with the pension less than three years away. What's your secret?
DT: Well it's the old story - use or lose it. You can get ill at any time. I run, canoe and cycle. I'm hoping to row again, too. Being overweight and unfit has never appealed.
HoS: Have you enjoyed focusing solely on women's crews rather than being overall head coach?
DT: Yes. They've all strived to be the best they can and no one's been a problem. That's all you can ask for. The eight and quad missed their finals by less than a second. They just have to squeeze up a bit.
HoS: Is it a sound plan for Rowing NZ to back a big boat programme or should they stick with what they do well in smaller boats?
DT: You have got to pick people in boats that can win. The easiest way is to start with smaller boats; it's harder to get the mix right in bigger boats. An eight only takes one person to be off colour and it goes to pot. As a small country we have hardly any rowers between ages 21-28. There is a huge school population then the numbers drop off.
We've never had a women's eight qualify in a [world championships] final. I thought to get within a second was pretty good. The onus now goes on the girls to do more work because they'll miss out on PEGs (performance enhancement grants from High Performance Sport New Zealand]. It won't be easy to move on from here.
HoS: What about your future?
DT: It's enjoyable out in the fresh air, helping young athletes make boats go fast. That makes for a good job.
HoS: On to the heavy stuff. What are your thoughts on nature versus nurture and talent versus hard work?
DT: When a baby's born, it can be almost anything it wants, if it puts its mind to it. The younger you start the better you'll be. When a kid trains at something they get a passion and they get good. These days there are so many things you can do. You can spend your youth inside playing on a computer. If you do that, it will makes things harder sports-wise. I don't think there's any such thing as talent [at the professional end of sport]. Those who are good at something from a young age often don't go on. Getting to the top takes practise, practise, practise. If you think you're good and things are easy, you're never going to get there.
HoS: Any advice for the New Zealand cricket team?
DT: I can't give advice to other sports. I can only say for rowing if a crew is not going well and is missing its timing down to the last split second, you can't just wait for some magical solution. You've got to practise breaking the stroke down until the timing comes right. If you think your 'gift' will enable it to come right; it won't. That's crap.
I don't believe a lot of the modern theories. I stick to the basics. In rowing, quite simply, miles make champions; quality training will improve you. If you think there's a short cut (shakes head) ... A dart player doesn't go cycling to make himself better - he throws a dart.
HoS: Those jokers are quite skilful to watch, don't you think?
DT: Oh yeah, I enjoy it, but he doesn't get on his bike between matches and start pedalling.
HoS: You're a voracious reader, especially regarding coaching. What's been on the bedside table?
DT: The Gold Mine Effect. This Danish guy [Rasmus Ankersen] visited Russian tennis players, Ethiopian runners, Brazilian footballers and the like, working out what made them tick.
Often such books effectively say the same thing. You've got to spend 10,000 hours practising to be any good. I read a great quote about practice recently from an 80-year-old violinist who said: 'if I don't practise for one day I notice, if I don't practise for two days my wife notices and if I don't practise for three days the whole world notices.'
HoS: Where's your 1972 Olympic silver medal [from Munich]? The sock drawer or the mantelpiece?
DT: It's in a drawer.
HoS: Do you ever go and look at it?
DT: Ah ... no. I used to bring it out every four years if schools were doing a project for the Olympics. Kids used to love looking at it because there were two naked people on the back (chuckles). It used to cause quite an uproar.
HoS: Did you get offered a knighthood after the London Games?
DT: No. Why should I?
HoS: Well, you've done a fair bit for the community.
DT: Not really.
HoS: Indirectly you have. You've led a programme which has collected 45 Olympic or world championship medals stretching back to 2004. You could argue Olympic gold medallists, in particular, can help inspire the next generation.
DT: You can look at it that way. I'm just doing a job like anybody else but it might get in the paper a bit more. You don't do it for those reasons. I don't know if I could go strutting around calling myself 'Sir'.
HoS: 'Arise, Sir Richard' has a bit of a ring to it. It might help you turn left rather than right on to planes.
DT: No, no no. That's the thing. Using something like that to get an advantage over people the same as me wouldn't be right... but it might be good if it made my family proud or enhanced the family tree.
Gracious Korean volunteer: I'm sorry, but we have to put away these chairs.
HoS: That's fine, we were just finishing.
DT: Yeah, no problem. Shame you didn't come about 10 minutes earlier (chuckles).

Some lucky attendee of WordCamp Fayetteville next week will win a white iPad 2 to help bolster their blogging and web development skills.
"Our goal continues to be the democratization of publishing. We want everyone to have their own digital Gutenberg press," said event founder Christopher Spencer, publisher of Ozarks Unbound.
"While we can't give everyone an iPad 2, we can give them the skills to communicate online in the most effective way possible, whatever their message or mission."
WordCamp Fayetteville is a nonprofit event scheduled for Saturday, July 30 at the Donald W. Reynolds Center for Enterprise Development. It is dedicated to giving people basic web literacy and an understanding of the open-source and free WordPress software.
An "Unconference day" will be held Sunday, July 31 at The Belford Group, a Fayetteville web design/software development company. On the second day, participants can connect with expert users to learn more one-on-one.
"We encourage students to come. We've set aside around 20 scholarships for students so that they can attend free of cost," Spencer said. Those scholarships are available by contacting WordCamp Fayetteville at email@example.com. Hardship scholarships are also available.
WordCamps are held throughout the world and are organized on the local level by enthusiasts of WordPress. There will be a similar event in Chicago on the same day. WordCamp Fayetteville is sponsored by the nonprofit WordPress Foundation. Donations are tax-deductible.
The philosophy behind WordCamps is that they break even financially and sponsors step up to subsidize a ticket that would otherwise be much more expensive. Tickets are currently $35, but rise to $40 after Friday.
A ticket to WordCamp Fayetteville includes a day's worth of programming, a t-shirt, a swag bag, Saturday lunch, an after party at Teatro Scarpino and an informal meet Sunday with presenters.
WordCamp Fayetteville is prohibited from advertising.
Tickets are available at https://2011.fayetteville.wordcamp.org/register.
WordCamp Fayetteville is made possible by the generous sponsorship of Southern Hospitality Event Production and Catering, Fayetteville Advertising and Promotion Commission, Paze Interactive, VaultPress and iThemes.

Date of Stay: August, 2010
We are staying here for the next 2 nights. The park is very clean with LOTS of elbow room. The owners are helpful. They do charge extra if you cable TV hook up and $2. extra for air (they leave you on your honor). The Wifi signal is low at the back of the park but we can once in a while get on at our site. If that doesn't work, you can go closer to the lobby to get online. One thing our friends and us like is the site layout. Everything is pull through and the sites are very spacious.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
This is our 2nd state park we have stayed at. We were with friends who had stayed here before and enjoyed it. We prefer to be someplace closer to "civilization" and with more elbow room. It was OK, but sites are too small to suit us. Level sites and the park attendants are helpful. We left here after two nights to go to a park with more amenities. Because we are all from out of state there was the $8 fee for the motorhome and the toad which added another $16 to the price per night.

Hi guys:
Some days back I have purchased a USB Flash Drive of 1GB. I have dual operating systems (Win98+WinXP). When I tried Flash Drive on Win98, it ask me for driver but I have no driver. Because I live in Pakistan so mostly Win98 is used in my country as operating system. So I am in need of USB Flash Drive's driver and I found very hard to get it.

One of the shortcomings of our current database layout is that we can't yet separate those records where a team had multiple coaches in the same season.We are working on that.
Posted 02 September 2011 - 08:36 PM
I recall Bob Westbrook.... I think he coached at George Walton in 1987 when I played football my senior year at Barnesville Academy and we beat them 12-6 then.
Posted 05 February 2013 - 02:23 PM
Yes. He did coach GWA in 1987 and then came to Piedmont for 1988-89. He was named interim head football coach in 1989 after the first three games of the seasons.

New Plan to Keep AB 109 Criminals from Re-Offending
REDDING, Calif. - Shasta County supervisors say a stable living situation is the key to keeping criminal offenders from committing more crimes, and they have put together a plan to make it happen.
The Shasta County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved what could be up to a three-year $544,000 contract with Northern Valley Catholic Social Services to evaluate prisoners returned to the county under the realignment bill AB 109 at the community corrections center.
From there, Social Services will determines if they are homeless and evaluate their immediate needs.
It is not truly designed to give them financial assistance as much as it is designed to give the offenders the tools to get into appropriate housing.
Chief Probation Officer Wes Forman said there is a good chance that "homelessness can lead to lawlessness."
All five supervisors voted in favor of trying to reduce the number of homeless offenders.
Supervisor Les Baugh said he had personally seen it work when he and his wife took in a couple no one else would take.
During the meeting, Supervisor Wes Forman said about 14 percent of the returning AB 109 offenders so far would be defined as homeless, or "not having a place to stay at least one night a month."
Forman said he wants to see that number reduced.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Also, depending on how you use your new refer unit, there can be additional costs for a bigger battery bank and a way to charge them. Refer units are probably one of the bigger consumers of the amps in your bank.
AB Cool Machine
I have no experience with that particular unit but have used one of the more conventional Cold Machines for many years. The first unit I had was installed by the PO and worked flawlessly for years but finally quit last Spring. After consultation with the factory they told me that the problem with it was probably the control board and there were two versions an inexpensive one and a not so inexpensive one. Since the unit I had was at least 12 years old since that was how long I've had the boat I elected to buy a new one. I did and installation was a breeze.
As far as the unit you have chosen, the only thing I would worry about would be carrying off the heat from the compressor. That is the critical part of the whole operation. If the compartment you will install it in is well ventilated, go for it. If not you may want to install a separate ventilation fan in that area. I did for my installation and it has made the unit more efficient. There is even an output in the control hookup for a separate fan.
Overall Alder Barbour makes a quality product and I have no problem recommending in to anyone.
|I installed an A-B cold machine kit after our old Grunert system died. That has a sealed compressor unit that you mount within 15' of the box and then a sealed evaporator unit that you mount in the box. Works great and it's not a power hog. Seems like a little distance between the compressor and evaporator would be more desireable rather having the compressor on an outside wall of the icebox.
Adler barbour refrigeration conversion
Do any of you have experience with the A-B Waeco conversion kit CS-NC-15? This is the one that the compressor and evaporator are built as one unit, installed in the icebox through an access cut in one end. No refrigeration lines, tstats, or other hookups other than 12VDC needed. This is going in a 6 cuft box on Sparkie. Any feedback?? Thanks

The base API URL for the MutualMind API is:
We are currently on v1 of the API.
In order to use the MutualMind API, you'll need to get your application instance's application key and auth token. Log in to your site as an admin and then go to the "Admin" area and click "API Access". You'll find the following keys there:
Application keys are fixed and cannot be changed. However, if your credentials get compromised, you can always reset your application secret and auth token from the "Admin" area of your site.
All API methods require authentication using your fixed application key and generated auth token. Here are the request query params:
|Query Parameter
|Application Key
|Auth Token
The MutualMind API supports the following formats:
|API Format Code
You can use one of the format codes above when sending requests to any of our API endpoints. For example:

IMPORTANT NOTE: You must specify the format with every API call and it must be the first parameter passed in.
All dates and times accepted and returned by the MutualMind API must conform to the ISO-8601 data interchange specification. E.g.,
All API endpoints accept only UTC timestamps and only return timestamp data as UTC. It is up to the calling application to convert timestamps to UTC as part of each request and also convert timestamps from UTC to the desired target time zone from each response.
Most resources (including those that are embedded) returned via our API include a resource_uri node. If populated, it provides a relative URL to that specific resource. You can use this URL to access that resource. For example:

By default, lists of objects are returned as paged results, 20 items at a time. If you wish to get more items per page, simply increase the value of the limit parameter. The maximum value for limit is 500. There is no limit on the number of pages.
Paged results include a meta node which contains paging information including the total number of objects, offset, limit and helper URLs for paging to the next or previous pages. For example:
<meta type="hash"> <next>...</next> <total_count type="integer">22</total_count> <previous type="null" /> <limit type="integer">20</limit> <offset type="integer">0</offset> </meta>

Indian IT giant Wipro says it is teaming up with Swedish telecoms operator Tele2 on the development of new products and services for the M2M market.
The companies say their partnership is aimed at developing solutions that will reduce costs and open up new revenue streams for M2M customers.
The deal is the latest in a series of M2M moves by Tele2 (Stockholm, Sweden), which operates telecoms networks in several European markets.
In November, the company announced plans to launch a global M2M business, saying it aimed to become a competitive player in the global market.
That was followed earlier this month by news that Tele2 had signed up to use an M2M platform developed by Jasper Wireless (Mountain View, CA, USA), which already counts a number of leading international operators among its customers.
"A partnership is the right way of going to market in the M2M world," said Rami Avidan, the head of Tele2 M2M Global Solutions. "At Tele2, we are actively focusing on our partnership strategy and by partnering with Wipro [Bangalore, India] we can now jointly offer an end-to-end solution that will help our customers realize business opportunities in a simple, flexible and secure way."
Wipro is also trying to establish itself as an important player in the M2M industry.
In May, it formed a partnership with US telecoms giant AT&T (Dallas, TX, USA) aimed at developing M2M services for a range of major industries.
Under that collaboration, services are to be developed based on an M2M application platform from Axeda, with which AT&T has had a partnership since January 2012.
"Wipro's partnership with Tele2 is driven by the growing demand and interest in M2M solutions across verticals from customers throughout Europe," said Alan Atkins, the vice president and global head of M2M at Wipro. "Our relationship with Tele2 will enable both companies to provide customers with a compelling, end-to-end M2M service and business solution."

"Pretty frank": Tim Freedman. Photo: Stephen Baccon
Photo: Sydney Morning Herald
At almost 40, Tim Freedman, Bernard Zuel discovers, has decided to make some changes.
Tim Freedman has this tic when he begins to feel uncomfortable during an interview. And it begins with silence. Normally the singer/songwriter from the most successful independent band in the country, the Whitlams, is not just loquacious but, in keeping with the band name, a man who enjoys playing with words, a man who loves crafting a sentence sounding like an Algonquin-style epigram, then letting it sit there to be enjoyed.
When the dangerous conversational shoals are reached, during the long silences preceding answers, he runs his hand back through his hair time and time again, rougher each time. As if trying to rub the idea out of his mind. As if punishing himself for allowing the conversation to drift into areas where he's uncomfortable.
But Freedman doesn't run away from the questions. Never has. Instead, he'll mutter, "Why on earth did I get into this?" to himself, and follow it with a laugh of exasperation.
The tricky topic today, as he sinks his fork into his ruby snapper, a glass of white at hand ("I haven't had a drink for a week, but I like to drink when I'm being interviewed. To make it bearable," he half jokes), begins innocently enough with his confession that he'd love to write a memoir, eventually. A companion piece to the voluminous band videography he's released on DVD.
"I'd like it to be pretty frank," Freedman says of the memoir. "I always find it intriguing that a lot of autobiographies I've read, like Barry Humphries's second-last one, they deal in one paragraph [with the news that] suddenly they've broken up with their first wife. I'd like to investigate what it is about men that makes them so difficult for women."
Surely, the obvious question upon hearing this comment from a man who has never married, lives alone and is turning 40 soon is: do you put yourself in that category? And it's here that we hit the first long pause and the pushing back of the hair.
"Ah [pause], no [long pause]. Because although I've been a little hard to pin down, I don't think I've given anyone the expectation that it's going to be different," he says.
Does he say to them, "I've lived on my own for years, I'm this and not that and you should know this before you get involved with me"?
There's a long pause.
"This is all going to be real news to my girlfriend," he mutters again, his accompanying laugh more than a little tinged with self-recrimination at his openness. "It's been like that in the past [another pause and some intense ruffling of hair] but I think
it's time I worked out how to stop that being my default setting. Because I should admit the possibility of a family at some stage in the future and the first step, I imagine, is the possibility of living with a woman."
Freedman, at 39, has lived in the same Newtown house for more than 15 years, played in the same band for 12 years, followed the same football team since early childhood and voted the same way at every election. Change isn't necessarily common.
So is this some age consciousness?
"I've always led a completely unstructured life. I got into music because I couldn't imagine having a nine-to-five gig and I've still never had one. Similarly, I've had problems with structure on a romantic level. Here I am, I can choose where the band goes next year and what sort of music we make, I'm almost over-indulged with freedom and I'm trying to be careful to not let that make me unsuited to the apparent rigours of togetherness."
Freedman has compiled the four-hour DVD, most potently images of the other two founding members of the Whitlams, his close friends Stevie Plunder (born Anthony Hayes) and Andy Lewis, who both died of presumed suicides in the '90s.
"I wanted to do justice to the guys that helped form the band, my aesthetic, my ethos; two lovely fellows who took their lives," he says.
After a dozen years of touring, recording and memories, Freedman took "long service leave" for three months this year in the middle of a year without a Whitlams tour.
"I went to New York, rented a loft and basically kicked myself into a lower orbit," he says. "I was living too fast and I pretty much put myself into a gentle form of rehab. I only walked into two drinking bars in three months. It's very hard getting laid in a foreign city if you're not drinking, so I had a complete rest."
Freedman likes that kind of line: droll, possibly self-revealing, but probably not. At all times it's a line aware of its place in the world and enjoying it. Like his favourite writing (Saul Bellow, John Updike, Phillip Roth, Bob Ellis). Like his next thought.
"I started writing again [in this year off]. One idea I had was to chart a comfortable descent into middle age. The first lines were, 'Young girls have started saying no/ which is pretty good/ it should have started years ago'. But I've dropped that idea."

Agency Response Letter GRAS Notice No. GRN 000049
Return to inventory listing: GRAS Notice Inventory

Re: GRAS Notice No. GRN 000049
Dear Mr. Degnan:
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responding to the notice, dated June 9, 2000, that you submitted on behalf of Nestlé USA (Nestlé) in accordance with the agency's proposed regulation, proposed 21 CFR 170.36 (62 FR 18938; April 17, 1997; Substances Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS); the GRAS proposal). FDA received the notice on June 14, 2000, and designated it as GRAS Notice No. GRN 000049.
The subjects of the notice are Bifidobacterium lactis strain Bb12 and Streptococcus thermophilus strain Th4.(1) This notice informs FDA of the view of Nestlé that B. lactis strain Bb12 and S. thermophilus strain Th4 are GRAS, through scientific procedures, for use as ingredients in milk-based infant formula that is intended for consumption by infants four months and older, at levels not to exceed good manufacturing practice.(2) In its GRAS Exemption Claim, Nestlé notes that the intended use of S. thermophilus strain Th4 and B. lactis strain Bb12 does not encompass use by immunocompromised infants.
As part of its notice, Nestlé includes the report of a panel of individuals (Nestlé's GRAS Panel) who evaluated the data and information that are the basis for Nestlé's GRAS determination. Nestlé considers the members of its GRAS panel to be qualified by scientific training and experience to evaluate the safety of substances added to food.
Nestlé describes published information about the identity and characteristic properties of B. lactis strain Bb12 derives from a human isolate. In the past, Bifidobacterium was classified within the genus Lactobacillus;(3) more recently, analyses of 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequences have been used to establish Bifidobacterium as a distinct genus. Bifidobacteria are Gram-positive, non-motile and non-spore-forming rods indigenous to the intestinal tract of infants, adults, and various animals. Bergey's Manual of Systemic Bacteriology describes bifidobacteria as anaerobic microorganisms (i.e., colonies of bifidobacteria do not grow on culture plates maintained under aerobic conditions) (Ref. 2). Different species and strains of bifidobacteria exhibit different sensitivity to oxygen.(4) While strain Bb12 was originally classified at the species level as Bifidobacterium bifidum, it is now classified as B. lactis.
Nestlé describes published information about the identity and characteristic properties of S. thermophilus strain Th4. S. thermophilus strain Th4 derives from a mozzarella cheese isolate. The genus Streptococcus is characterized by Gram-positive spherical or ovoid bacteria that are typically arranged in chains or pairs. Streptococci are non-sporing, catalase-negative, and homofermentative. S. thermophilus strain Th4 is a lactic acid bacterium that can survive and grow in the presence of oxygen, but exclusively generates ATP by fermentation, which is an anaerobic process (Ref. 3).(5) S. thermophilus is not associated with any pathogenic traits.
Given the public health implications of antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria in the food supply, Nestlé provides information about the antibiotic resistance of B. lactis strain Bb12 and S. thermophilus strain Th4. Nestlé states that B. lactis strain Bb12 is susceptible to various antibiotics. Nestlé states that strains of S. thermophilus that have been tested for antibiotic resistance usually are sensitive to a broad range of antibiotics and that Nestlé does not expect S. thermophilus strain Th4 to present an adverse public health risk.
Nestlé provides information about the method of manufacture for B. lactis strain Bb12 and S. thermophilus strain Th4, including release criteria. During the manufacturing process, Nestlé assesses strain quality, genetic stability, carbohydrate fermentation profile, enzyme profile, and the number of organisms. Nestlé provides release criteria for strain quality. Nestlé also describes its good manufacturing practice/quality assurance program to validate the identity of the organisms in each production lot. This program includes DNA fingerprinting as well as traditional biochemical and morphological techniques.
Nestlé considers that a key purpose for adding these ingredients to infant formula is to help improve the overall wholesomeness of food for infants and children. Nestlé expects that infant formula containing these microbial ingredients will help maintain, in formula-fed infants, an intestinal flora composition resembling that in infants fed human breast milk and that this, in turn will help digestive function.
Nestlé provides information about the level of microorganisms per gram of powdered product and per eating occasion. Nestlé intends to add freeze-dried B. lactis strain Bb12 to the infant formula to give counts of 107-108 colony forming units per gram (cfu/g) final powdered product. Nestlé intends to add freeze-dried S. thermophilus strain Th4 to the infant formula to give counts of 107-108 cfu/g final product. In addition, Nestlé intends to specify that the level of resuscitated organisms would be within the range of 106 to 108 cfu of each organism per gram of finished formula as the target for each batch.
Nestlé describes its marketing experience, in Europe and Asia, with infant formula containing B. lactis strain Bb12, S. thermophilus, or with infant formula containing related ingredients. Nestlé notes that these formulas meet the infant formula recommendations, guidelines or requirements of various organizations.
Nestlé notes that foods containing lactic acid bacteria are broadly consumed throughout the world, and provides information about the prior use of Bifidobacterium spp. or S. thermophilus in food. Bifidobacteria spp. are found frequently in various fermented foods worldwide. The most common food use of S. thermophilus is in yogurt. Nestlé's GRAS panel reviewed and discussed the practice in Europe of feeding yogurt to very young children. Nestlé reports that several members of its GRAS panel also mentioned that the practice of feeding yogurt to very young children is becoming increasingly common in the United States.
Nestlé describes two clinical studies in which infants consumed B. lactis strain Bb12 and S. thermophilus strain Th4 in a formula. Study endpoints for the first study included diarrhea and rotavirus shedding. Study endpoints for the second study included anthropometrics, product usage, morbidity, and stooling profile. Nestlé notes that no adverse effects were reported for either study
Nestlé also summarizes more than 50 clinical studies in which more than 2,500 infants (including term and preterm infants) or children consumed infant formula or other foods that contained microbial ingredients. These ingredients derived from more than a dozen different cultures or strains (including Bifidobacterium spp. or S. thermophilus). Typical study endpoints included diarrheal episodes, fecal enzymes, fecal flora composition, stool characteristics, gastrointestinal disturbances, feeding tolerance, systemic immune responses and traditional anthropometrics. None of the investigators reported any adverse events during these studies. Infant subjects presented normal growth. Stool characteristics and stooling patterns of infants who consumed infant formula containing microbial ingredients were similar to those of breast fed infants.
In Nestlé's view, the fact that these microorganisms may be safely used in formula is further supported by data from over 100 adult clinical trials in which lactic acid bacteria were orally administered. These bacteria were used either as single or mixed cultures, ranging from 107 to 1011 cfu/dose, live or heat-killed organisms. The studies investigated a total of 11 Lactobacillus species, 2 Streptococcus species, 5 Bifidobacterium species and 3 groups of unidentified "lactic acid bacteria cultures." All of the investigated strains were well-tolerated. In the 40 years of study, using data from over 100 adult clinical studies, not one single adverse event was reported by any of more than 8000 subjects.
Based on the information provided by Nestlé, as well as other information available to FDA, the agency has no questions at this time regarding Nestlé's conclusion that B. lactis strain Bb12 and S. thermophilus strain Th4 are GRAS for their intended use as ingredients in milk-based infant formula that is intended for consumption by infants four months and older at levels not to exceed good manufacturing practice. The agency has not, however, made its own determination regarding the GRAS status of this use of B. lactis strain Bb12 and S. thermophilus strain Th4. As always, it is the continuing responsibility of Nestlé to ensure that food ingredients that the firm markets are safe, and are otherwise in compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
In accordance with proposed 21 CFR 170.36(f), a copy of the text of this letter, as well as a copy of the information in Nestlé's notice that conforms to the information in proposed 21 CFR 170.36(c)(1), is available for public review and copying on the homepage of the Office of Food Additive Safety (on the Internet at http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~lrd/foodadd.html).
Intended use in infant formula
Under section 412 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), a manufacturer of a new infant formula must make a submission to FDA, providing required assurances about the formula, at least 90 days before the formula is marketed. Nestlé should be aware that FDA's response to Nestlé's GRAS notice does not alleviate the responsibility of any infant formula manufacturer who intends to market an infant formula that contains B. lactis strain Bb12 and S. thermophilus strain Th4 to make the submission required by section 412.
For your information, FDA recently contracted with the National Academy of Sciences to address broad issues related to the addition of ingredients to infant formula. We expect to make significant findings of any final report issued under that contract available to the public.
Potential label claims
Under section 403(a) of the FFDCA, a food is misbranded if its labeling is false or misleading in any particular. In describing the intended use of B. lactis strain Bb12 and S. thermophilus strain Th4 and in describing the information that Nestlé relies on to conclude that B. lactis strain Bb12 and S. thermophilus strain Th4 are GRAS under the conditions of their intended use, Nestlé raises a number of issues under the labeling provisions of the FFDCA. These issues are the purview of the Office of Nutritional Products, Labeling, and Dietary Supplements (ONPLDS) in the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition. The Office of Food Additive Safety neither consulted with ONPLDS on these labeling issues nor evaluated the information in Nestlé's notice to determine whether it would support any claims made about B. lactis strain Bb12 and S. thermophilus strain Th4 on the label or in labeling.

(1)The notice of June 9, 2000 was for the use of Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, and S. thermophilus. By a letter of November 14, 2000, Nestlé narrowed the scope of GRN 000049 to B. lactis strain Bb12 and S. thermophilus strain Th4.
(2)Nestlé states that it is aware of no reason why these ingredients, if GRAS for use in infant formula, would not be GRAS in other foods for infants and children.
(3)FDA notes that the "lactic acid bacteria" were a group set aside by Orla-Jensen in the 1920's whose major fermentation product is lactic acid. FDA further notes that Bifidobacteria are considered to be part of the lactic acid bacteria on a "physiological" basis as Bifidobacteria produce lactic acid as a major fermentation product. However, as the rRNA profiles became available, it became more clear by taxonomic, morphological, and genetic criteria, that Bifidobacteria are distinct from the Lactobacilli, Streptococci, Leuconostocs, Lactococci and other related organisms (Ref. 1).
(4)Nestlé uses the phrase "facultative anaerobe" to describe this differential sensitivity to oxygen.
(5)Both the notice and Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology, 9th edition (Ref. 4) use the phrase "facultatively anaerobic" to describe S. thermophilus.

Find barre fitness classes in NYC and learn about the benefits of barre
Check out three of the best barre fitness classes in NYC and get the scoop from an instructor on how barre will improve your life
This type of fitness class has grown in popularity in recent years and is popular with New Yorkers looking to tone without adding bulk. The name derives from exercises that center around a ballet bar and aims to help practitioners achieve a long, lean dancer's body. You won't learn to dance (you can always try these ballet classes for that), but barre classes will shave inches off your physique.

Barre fitness classes in NYC
The Bar Method
Buns of steel takes on a dual meaning to the devotees of this demanding, ballet-inspired workout, which targets wanna-be bunheads' glutes, among other regions. Developed by ex-journalist Burr Leonard, the technique crafts long, lean, dancerlike muscles through focused arm, ab, thigh and "seat" (a.k.a. butt) exercises, and also boosts practioners' stamina and develops proper posture. There's no hiding in these high-energy sessions. You may be one of up to 26 participants in the class, but instructors master everyone's names in the first few minutes of the hour. Luckily, call-outs and corrections always feel encouraging. 212-431-5720, soho.barmethod.com. Schedule varies; visit website for details. Single class $37, 30-day pass $270, introductory package $150.
Pure Barre
While similar to other ballet barre classes—employing refined exercises to sculpt lean muscles without adding bulk—the work here is deceptively minimalist. The key to this particular style is the sequence of small, focused moves that change in position by only an inch or two. You may not think you're doing much, but with each passing rep, your muscles twinge with more effort. After an invigorating warm-up, peppy teachers lead between ten and 25 students through fast-paced sets that whittle inches from the arms, legs, abs, hips and seat. Schedule varies; visit purebarre.com for details. Single class $33, packages $150–$500.
Physique 57
Known for their amped-up version of traditional barre methods and specialty classes, Physique 57 is a blend of cardio, strength training and stretching which gets at even those little muscles you didn't know you had. The method breaks down the typical series of ab, arm, seat and thigh work into eight-to-ten-minute intervals that first scorch a muscle group, and then immediately stretch it out. Trainers offer easy-to-follow corrections for anyone who needs help; they're also highly attuned to modifying moves and positions for participants with injuries or chronic problems. Locations and schedule vary; visit physique57.com for details. Single class $36, packages $180–$600.
Meet a FlyBarre master instructor
Master instructor and director of training Kara Liotta leads FlyBarre classes at Flywheel Sports
The pain: After a two-month hiatus from exercise, I stretched out on my designated mat surrounded by classmates who seemed much perkier than I felt at 7am. Since I'd tried a few other barre classes, I knew I was in for a relentless series of tight, focused movements that look innocent but leave your muscles wailing louder than a baby on a red-eye. Liotta led us through a rapid sequence of bicep curls, shoulder presses and tricep extensions with one- and two-pound weights (sounds innocent enough, right?) followed by a brutal stint of ab work. As I sat facing the mirror with my feet hooked underneath the wooden bar, I huffed and cursed under my breath as I felt my obliques and upper abs beg for mercy. I thought the exercise gods had heard my plea when the lights dimmed and we moved to the center of the floor to stretch, but that was only a brief respite before we continued to the seat and thigh portion of the hour. The most challenging maneuver required me to kneel on all fours and perform dozens of mini pretzel lifts and donkey kicks (raise knee, move leg to opposite side of body), all with a squishy ball tucked precariously in the crux of my knee. I noticed soreness starting to set in around my midsection and in my triceps by the time the class ended, but I was already plotting my return.
The gain: "We take a fast-paced, music-driven approach designed to create the sculpted look of the ideal ballet dancer—long and lean, without being bulky. The class involves high repetitions at little to no weight; the maximum in ours are three-pound weights. The major differences people see are in terms of inches lost, especially in the arms and around the core. During our six-week challenges, where people take class four times a week, the average inches lost is about seven or eight. Most Flyers come three times a week, though, and they can see a change in their bodies after two weeks."—Kara Liotta, 27, West Village, master instructor and director of training for FlyBarre at Flywheel Sports

Brainerd City Council: Fall cleanup to use voucher system
Brainerd is taking a new approach to this year's planned fall cleanup with the use of vouchers.
"The cleanup committee has met and came up with the goal to reduce junk from accumulating in resident's yards, to reduce nuisance complaints and to give residents an opportunity to dispose of materials in a legal way," said council member Bonnie Cumberland. "What we decided to take a look at to save some costs to the city is a voucher system mailed out to citizens."
Council member Bob Olson, who is heading up the cleanup along with Cumberland, added that with the voucher system in place it will help costs tremendously.
The city hosted a cleanup last spring, but with such an overwhelming turnout of items left to be picked up, costs of recycling, dumping at the Crow Wing County landfill and city crew labor hours totaled $70,571 — an excess of $20,104 — had left the Brainerd City Council reluctant to spend funds on a second spring cleanup this year and instead looked ahead to the fall.
Council president Mary Koep added that the vouchers will go out in July and will be good for three months until Oct. 31, 2012, where the public can load up their truck for dumping and pay the charges and use the $10 voucher to help in doing so.
"I think the good thing about this will be to compare this with last year and try it and see what works best," said Koep.
Council unanimously approved the use of a payment voucher system with the exception of council member Kevin Goedker, who was absent from Monday's meeting.
City administrator Dan Vogt joked that the vouchers should be called "Koep Cash" or "Bob and Bonnie Bucks."
In other business Brainerd City Planner Mark Ostgarden reminded citizen's that the Brainerd Citizen's Survey is still available to the public. The survey, which features five open-ended questions about the vision and future of the city of Brainerd is available electronically on the city website at www.ci.brainerd.mn.us with paper copies found at the Brainerd Public Library, senior center or city hall. Submissions can also be mailed in to the City Planning Department, 501 Laurel St., Brainerd, MN 56401.
Ostgarden said the survey will be available for several more weeks.
Brainerd City Council accepted with regret the resignation of Kim Ellingson, economic development authority, effective May 14,2012.
Council also put in a call for applicants for the following positions:
• Economic development authority, 1 position, with a term to expire Sept. 7, 2013.
• Cable TV Advisory Committee, 1 position, with a term to expire Dec. 31, 2012.
• Transportation Committee, 2 positions, with terms to both expire Dec. 31, 2012.
