London, June 19 : After mastering acting, Will Smith has his eyes set on football and in a bid to learn the sport the actor has got a coach for himself - soccer ace David Beckham.
While in London to promote his new film 'Hancock', the Hollywood star said that he begged the England football star to coach him.
"David Beckham is one of the best 'soccer' players in the world. I begged him to teach me how to play and he promises he will. We can't wait!" the Telegraph quoted him, as saying.
In 'Hancock', Smith plays the title character, a bungling super-hero who manages to wreak havoc during his well-meaning attempts to save lives.
Hancock begins to care about other people's opinions only after he saves the life of PR executive Ray Embrey, played by Jason Bateman, whose wife is played by Charlize Theron.

Plans, Processes, and Practices for Successful Test Outsourcing
There are many reasons why outsourcing IT activities requires extra attention, especially when it concerns software testing. Examples of complete failures are common, and "backsourcing" is not uncommon today. Outsourcing test activities requires a comprehensive planning roadmap from the initial idea to implementation steps and ongoing processes. Martin Pol discusses creating a service level agreement for test outsourcing, managing the transition, approaches for cultural adjustments, and ways to monitor the outsourced work. An outsourcing relationship can be compared to a marriage, from the initial flirting through matrimonial happiness. Faith, flexibility, and openness based on trust are required for both a happy marriage and a successful outsourcing relationship. The difference is that outsourcing requires arrangements for ending the relationship before the wedding. In this compelling presentation, Martin also discusses the important issue of how to verify that the outsourcing service company is effectively performing its test responsibilities.

Discussion in 'Resource Manager Support' started by time, Apr 19, 2013.
How can I delete the information as image below
External Purchase URL can be turned off in the category settings by unchecking "Allow External Purchase"
Hopefully, version string can be turn off also on settings page.
- unchecking "Allow External Purchase": but I want to use Price
Thanks Roldan.
Unless RM has been updated, you can't disable the version string... or maybe I'm an idiot and have been misreading posts.
Thanks Piers,
So, can i disable the Tag Line and Resource type
You can't disable the tag line either, however you are able to set the Resource Type option in each individual Resource Category. So if you go to your admin panel and select 'Resource Categories' from the Applications area, then click on the one you want to change - you'll see the options there.
Thanks Piers,

Had to handle some special cases in sfx2 and vcl where the gb_Library_set_ldflags command was used to set linker flags *and* add libraries to the linker command line. Introduced a new gb_Library_add_external_libs command (that internally is mapped to gb_LinkTarget_add_external_libs, see solenv/gbuild/LinkTarget.mk for its definition) for adding external libraries to the linker. It differs from gb_Library_add_linked_libs in that its arguments are not subject to any filtering.

Washington, Aug 17 (ANI): Non-viral gene therapy can delay the onset of some forms of eye disease and preserve vision, found one of only two studies of its kind.
Researchers at Tufts University School of Medicine and the Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences at Tufts developed nanoparticles to deliver therapeutic genes to the retina and found that treated mice temporarily retained more eyesight than controls.
The study brings researchers closer to a non-viral gene therapy treatment for degenerative eye disorders.
"Our work shows that it is possible to attain therapeutic results using non-viral gene delivery methods, specifically, nanoparticles. Nanoparticles, which are small enough to penetrate cells and stable enough to protect DNA, are capable of preventing retinal cell death and preserving vision," said senior author Dr. Rajendra Kumar-Singh.
"The most common approach to gene therapy involves using a virus to deliver DNA to cells. While viruses are very efficient carriers, they can prompt immune responses that may lead to inflammation, cancer, or even death. Non-viral methods offer a safer alternative, but until now, efficiency has been a significant barrier," added Kumar-Singh.
In a model simulating the progression of human retinal degeneration, the researchers treated mice with nanoparticles carrying a gene for GDNF (Glial Cell Line-Derived Neurotrophic Factor), a protein known to protect the photoreceptor cells in the eye.
Retinas treated with the GDNF-carrying nanoparticles showed significantly less photoreceptor cell death than controls.
Preservation of these cells resulted in significantly better eyesight in the treatment group seven days after treatment, compared to controls.
The protection conferred by the GDNF-carrying nanoparticles was temporary, as tests fourteen days after treatment showed no difference in eyesight between treated mice and controls.
"The next step in this research is to prolong this protection by adding elements to the DNA that permit its retention in the cell. Bringing forth a more potent and enduring result will move us closer to clinical application of non-viral gene therapy," said Kumar-Singh.
The study is published online in advance of print in Molecular Therapy. (ANI)

Sri Lankan batsmen had a look in but none of them was able to make boost a big score. Mahella Udawatte scored fluently before he fell to Zaheer Khan for 68 runs.
Of the other batsman Chamara Silva was the most impressive scoring 61 runs before he too fell leg before to Zaheer Khan. With wickets falling at regular intervals, Kaushal Silva was left unbeaten 47.The Sri Lankan innings folded up at 325 all out.

It seemed entirely logical for the chief executive of the newly launched TSB to ask Star Trek captain Jean-Luc Picard to be the voice of the brand. After all, Paul Pester, a Cambridge doctor of physics with a Spock-like intellect, reasoned that Mr Picard, (well, Sir Patrick Stewart anyway), had a familiar voice that TSB's 4.6 million customers would trust.
But when the request went in, he was shocked to be told "No". Sir Patrick did not want to be associated with a bank. After all, banks are bad, right? They create misery with their bonus-fuelled casino gambling ways and end up costing taxpayers billions. But the actor hadn't banked on Mr Pester's persistence. As Mr Pester recalls: "I wrote to him personally and said 'we're not like that sort of bank'. We're about local banking, helping the local community."
The letter worked, and a couple of weeks ago, in Los Angeles, Sir Patrick did the voiceover.
It's an anecdote that speaks volumes about the message Mr Pester wants to give about the TSB, which went live on our high streets yesterday. TSB will not do any of the "socially useless" banking its rivals conduct, he says, citing the phrase coined by Adair Turner, who was at McKinsey with Mr Pester in a previous life.
"So do not come to our bank if you want your investments to go into derivatives, investment banking, large corporates overseas. We will be all about using customers' deposits to help create local economic growth. We are doing what is right for Britain and trying to right some of the wrongs of the banking industry."
Although the branch signs may look new, like his glass-walled office and open-plan City headquarters, TSB is not, of course. Its 631 branches are actually those that Lloyds was ordered to dispose of by the European Union after the taxpayer bailout following its disastrous takeover of HBOS. Those 4.6 million customers aren't new either. They have been moved from Lloyds under a deal whereby, if they want to remain with Lloyds, they'll have to transfer, with all the hassle that entails.
The branches were, of course, destined to fall into the hands of the Co-op, before the small matter of a £1.5bn black hole emerged in the bidder's accounts. Now, Lloyds has opted to float it as a standalone company instead.
As such, Mr Pester is keen to give TSB its own, distinct personality: a real alternative choice to the big boys. "We are here with a really clear mandate to bring more competition to UK banking," he says. "How are we going to do that? By bringing a local banking model back to Britain."
Analysts say this message – of a clean, trustworthy retail bank – is similar to that being espoused by Lloyds. Indeed, the TSB's products are still Lloyds products, the staff still mainly Lloyds staff. Some argue that Mr Pester, who remains an employee of Lloyds until the flotation next year, will have a hard task differentiating from its bailed-out, PPI mis-selling old parent. But he is making the right noises.
The website will soon have real-time data backing up Mr Pester's spiel about "local" lending; it will show where in the country banks take deposits and where it lends them. He's planning clear explanations online for customers about how the bank makes its money. He is pushing hard the tale of the Rev Henry Duncan, who set up the first Trustee Savings Bank in Scotland in 1810 to help working class families manage their erratic wages.
If Mr Pester seems an old hand at getting across the message of new, or newish, business, it's because he is. He launched Virgin Money for Sir Richard Branson. Then he led the integration of Santander's various divisions. Even at McKinsey in 1995 he was launching new businesses, helping the BBC create its digital strategy.
Geraint Davies, an old chum from his first job after Cambridge, at a consultancy called Scientific Generics, says he got his first taste for launches there, albeit at an operation that was not entirely successful: "He was selected to run a Tokyo office. It was a hospital pass really – but he went and gave it the best go anyone could. He had such dedication and commitment."
Mr Davies recalls that in those days Mr Pester was "more triangular" in physique. He was a competitive swimmer at national level, even racing in the same squad as olympic medalist Sharron Davies. Nowadays he has the lean torso of the triathlete – on Sunday he did the North Norfolk Triathlon.
Such toughness is reflected in his mental make-up, according to a former colleague from McKinsey, William Vaughan-Lewis. Referring to the Co-op shenanigans, he says: "Paul's extremely resilient. You saw that with him over the last year at Lloyds. It must have been very hard for him with all the to-ings and fro-ings. But he has stuck with it."
Mr Pester refuses to be drawn on the Co-op fiasco other than to describe it as a "soap opera" and say the flotation is the best option for the bank. That's a spectacular understatement. Had the Co-op deal gone ahead he would have been playing the lead not in a soap, but a tragedy.

Why do I have flat/rocker boards?
Ok so here's the deal. I would say I'm an intermediate/advanced all mt. rider (blacks and double blacks) and something less than that in the park. After renting shitty soft cheap camber decks, I bought a ride antic last year. On the ice I found it unrideable, and I could barely carve at all on it; I really just hated it. Then I high cascade this summer I got myself back on camber (forum holy moly ii, youngblood doubledog, t rice pro) and rode like I never was able to with rocker. Then I got myself back on a DC PBJ(flat/rocker) for a day to see if it was just the ride antic that I didn't like. It wasn't. I was sliding everywhere and couldn't ride for shit. My question is, is there something mechanically wrong with my riding that doesn't go well with flat/rocker boards, or are they just not meant for carving groomers and are better straight-lining runs?
EDIT: The title should say "Why do I hate" NOT "Why do I have"
Google is your friend...
If thats too much work for you, go here: For Those About To Rocker (We Salute You) - How To Choose The Right Rockered Snowboard
It's the first thing that comes up when doing a search for "camber vs. rocker"...
My professional opinion. Rocker blows... :D
The day I see anybody on a timed run of any kind (BX, alpine, etc.) running on anything but a camber board, I might start to think about changing my opinion. These guys are blasting at high speeds on hardpack and ice. The run camber.
I watched a guy on rocker skis last year going through some crud. His tips and tails were bouncing so much I thought he was going to go-go-gadget helicopter and fly right on our of there! Not for me thanks!
I just think it is not for everyone. I road traditonal camber up until last year, when I picked up a Flying-V shaped board from Burton. My first day out on it, I thought I had made a huge mistake. But by the end of the day I had learned how to adjust my riding style, and it felt much more comfortable. After riding it for the rest of the season, I determined that it had it's time and place, but that I preferred camber, or at least mostly-camber hyrbrid shapes.
Anyways, my point is that it's all preference. If you shred better on a camber deck, then keep it classic. No need to hop on something that doesn't suit you.
I have a low rise rocker on one of my boards, however that board comes out on pow and good snow days, where I don't worry about skidding around. I honestly don't have much input on how a rocker board rides on hard pack or groomers, but dam does it float and turn like a dream in the pow!

The 17 Day Diet Review: Does it Work?
The most popular diet of 2011 supports healthy weight loss that lasts.Top Rated Diets of 2017
What is it?
The 17 Day Diet is a weight loss diet claiming to offer up to 12 pounds of weight loss within the first 17 days. It's said to help people lose weight by confusing the body, keeping metabolism in a fat burning state.
The diet claims that there's scientific evidence that shows it can help with weight loss in the long term. It was created by a Dr. Mike Moreno, and it was created in 2010. It suggests eating a certain amount of calories with some food restrictions. The top rated diet of 2016 was found to be the 18Shake Diet. It combines a nutritionally balanced appetite suppressing meal replacement, as well as an all-natural stimulant free metabolism booster which can be found here.
Do You Know the Best Diets of 2017?
The 17 Day Diet Ingredients and Side Effects
No pre-packaged foods or supplements are required. Foods are to come from whole foods found in grocery stores. There's 4 different cycles one has to follow, each one lasting 17 days, except the final phase which is followed for the entirety of one's life, if one happens to not gain any more weight:
• Accelerate: This part of the diet promises fast results, as well as nutrients to help get rid of fat in stubborn areas. It's said that digestive health will be improved, and sugar will be removed from one's diet in to further decrease fat storage.
Only 1,200 calories are allowed per day. This phase promises between 10 to 12 pounds of weight loss. It's likely most of the weight loss in this phase is not fat but water. Carbohydrates are strictly restricted, which is the reason why water weight is lost, as they are known to hold unto water.
A low calorie diet of just 1,200 calories might be unhealthy according to Live Strong.com:
"Do not attempt a low-calorie diet unless you are under the strict supervision of your doctor"
"Some symptoms of severe calorie restriction are weakness, fatigue, cold intolerance, irregular menstrual periods, dizziness, constipation and swelling"
It may also promote more serious issues such as gout caused by high uric acid in the blood. The same group adds:
"not taking in the proper amounts of vitamins, protein and electrolytes, you are at risk for malnutrition disorders"
A list of the top 10 diet plans is made available when you click on the link here.
Since much less food is allowed, this places the body not just in a deficit of calories, but also less nutrients due to the loss of many foods.
They also point out the flaws of long term dieting like this:
"You are more likely to burn muscle than fat"
It's believed that because of the reduction of calories and carbohydrates that most of the weight loss will only be water. Live Strong.com adds:
"It's possible to lose as much as 20 pounds of body during one week, most of which is water"
This initial loss of water will likely return once one reintroduces carbohydrates. There are possible symptoms caused by a lack of carbohydrates as well, since they are the brain's primary fuel source via its glucose. This can lead to side effects such as:
- Brain fog, loss of focus, and difficulty thinking.
- Reduced reaction time, fatigue, and difficulty exercising.
- Nausea, mood swings, and issues with regulating temperature.
• Activate: This changes from the low calorie planning found in the first phase, alongside a much higher calorie allowance. 5 to 6 pounds of weight loss is said to be possible.
The intention of this plan is to help the body's metabolism constantly be confused, so it activates at a higher level. There's no proof however that this is actually true. No clinical studies have shown that metabolism is changed for the better when one reduces and suddenly raises calories.
• Achieve: Another 2 to 3 pounds of weight loss are said to be possible. One also introduced better eating habits to stick with in this phase. Things like portion control are taught. A 17 minute spot reduction workout is offered, which is meant to be a way to target specific areas that have body fat. Though this claim has been disproven according to Examine.com:
"Spot-reduction (losing fat in one place) is not possible"
The 17 Day Diet claims to be backed by clinical research, but some major claims made have been debunked. A list of the top 10 ranking diet plans is featured in the list found here.
• Arrive: By this point all eating habits should be established to allow for continuing this diet for the rest of one's live. Some occasional cheat meals are allowed on the weekend. This point is intended to help one keep their weight steady.
US News had this to say about the diet:
"no studies have specifically evaluated the 17-day-diet- and "body confusion" has not been scientifically proven"
This diet is similar in fact to other low carbohydrate diets which offer quick weight loss. Examine.com adds:
"people on low-carb diets lose weight because they naturally eat less and avoid the large binges caused by carbohydrate cravings"
Carbohydrate heavy foods tend to have more calories and are less filing than protein and fats. This information is not new, and does not prove that the 17 Day Diet is a long term weight loss solution. The top 10 list of the best diets is available when you click the link here.
EDITOR'S TIP: Combine this diet with a proven meal replacement such as 18 Shake for better results.
The 17 Day Diet Quality of Ingredients
The kinds of ingredients used are wholesome since only grocery foods that are unprocessed are allowed. The issue is that the diet itself has not been proven to be any different than any other low carbohydrate diets.
There's also a suggested 17 day cycle for 3 of the phases. There's no evidence that 17 days are needed for metabolism to be confused and working at a high level. The diet also emphasizes spot reduction which also has not been scientifically proven.
The Price and Quality of the 17 Day Diet
The book itself sells for $18.88 on Amazon.com, though there are also cookbooks, new editions, and reduction plans offered under the same basic diet strategy. There are also optional supplements, DVD's, and workout gear offered.
Other process to consider is the costs for grocery shopping, as meals need to be cooked at home to prepare them the right way.
Business of The 17 Day Diet
The creator of the book is Dr. Mike Moreno, a family medicine practitioner. He has no background in nutrition or weight loss.
No evidence is provided to help show that the 17 Day Diet is backed by real research. Research shows which diets made it to the top 10 list that is made available when you click here.
EDITOR'S TIP: The top 10 list of the best diets is available here.
Customer Opinions of The 17 Day Diet
Here are some reviews from users who posted their reviews online:
"couldn't make it past a couple of days because of how hungry I was"
"highly disappointed and disgusted that U had wasted my money on a book with concepts that I already knew"
"it's really difficult to keep up, long term. It isn't really 17 days"
"I found this book similar to common sense previous diets… no sugar, no white anything"
The common concern from most users was that there wasn't anything in this diet but common sense weight loss tips. This includes not eating processed foods, white and refined grains, sugar, and other unwanted foods.
There were also issues with people having it really difficult to keep up with the diet long term, since there are many restrictions and extreme calorie restrictions. People also added that they regained all their weight when they reintroduced carbohydrates into their diets.
A view of the best diets is available in this top 10 list.
Conclusion - Does The 17 Day Diet Work?
Before making a final decision on the 17 Day Diet, it's important to look over all the available facts. Many people who used it say they found it to be hard to maintain due to the extreme calorie restrictions in the first 17 days. This 1,200 calorie limit is not advised to be followed without the help of a doctor, according to health websites. There's also an extreme limit on carbohydrates to start with, which is likely the reason there's any weight loss, which is mostly water weight and not fat.
The 2016 best diet of the year is called the 18Shake Diet. It offers a combination of two all-natural diet supplements. A diet pill that raises metabolism with no added stimulants, and a nutritionally well rounded meal replacement that customers say helps suppress appetite, all while having a pleasant taste. Many people have left testimonials and positive reviews saying how effective this diet is for sustained weight loss.
The 18Shake diet's supplements are also backed by a full 30 day money back return policy. This guarantee is offered with no questions asked for a total of 30 days. Learn more about the 18Shake Diet by following the link provided here.

This is the easiest thing I have ever done. I have had great success...
I just finished Cycle 2. I lost only 3 lb, but I was sick for about 9 days, and didn't work out at all (but didn't cheat with the diet).
I enjoyed this phase. I like that my portions are now smaller, and yet I'm not hungry. Loved my oatmeal in the mornings, and loved the power cookie, though I modified it to include half of stevia, and just ground almonds instead of the almond paste.
I'm 5'9", 36 years old, and I started this diet at 186lb. I lost 8lb on phase one, and now another 3lb, to the total of 11lb. My goal is to lose another 10lb for now.
Since my weight loss slowed down so much in phase 2 (I expected to lose about 6lb), I am not setting high goals for the third phase. I hope to lose 4lb, and plan to up my exercise. I actually can't wait to be back on phase one, as I find it the easiest phase to maintain.
See you in 17 days ;-)
On C2D5, have not cheated ONCE & am on a plateau... :o(((((( Still EXTREMELY determined but bummed cos I've only lost 10 lbs now in 22 days....I guess that's good but was sure looking forward to wearing a smaller size by now.... :o/

I just got this book and am about to start the diet. The question I have is what if I can't drink green tea? I used to drink it and began having serious palpitations, (over10,000 PVCs in a 24 hour period) I had a halter monitor and then I had to have a cardiac stress test. Once I quit the green tea, the palpitations stopped. Not sure if there was a connection, but I am afraid to drink it again.

@Roxanne Carney- Loved your story. So glad you are doing this plan and seeing results. Keep up the good work. We can do this.
@AuntieR- congrat's on you and your husbands weight loss. Great job. Keep going. I just started C2d1 today, down 8.5 lbs. Woo hoo :). We can do this and be healthier for it. Keep the posts coming with your stats. Have a good weekend.
@Heather- congrat's on the weight loss for you and your parents. It helps to have some buddies to do this with. It is a little hard the first week or so, but I am not having sugar cravings at all. In fact, smelling something sweet makes me sick to my stomach, that is definitely unusual for me. Hang in there, this plan is healthy and what we should be eating. Thanks for your post, it encourages me to push onward. Have a great weekend.
@Dixiejet- You are doing awesome girl. It was nice to have oatmeal for breakfast this morning. Keep up the good work. We are on the same cycle and day :). You have me beat by 1.5 lbs, I need to kick it up a notch, lol. I will weigh next thursday and report. Good luck this weekend. I am still not having cravings, it is so weird. I love it though......
Starting C2D1 today & this morning, 10 POUNDS GONE !!!! We bought a hot cereal called Bob's Red Mill 100% Whole Grain 10 Grain Cereal..WONDERFUL ! I have really loved being on this diet...I don't miss my BELOVED sweets and pastries & I think all the time about not putting processed foods back in my body...I feel FANTASTIC & I have LOADS of energy. i also sleep so good !!!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this diet !!!!
How that for how I'm doing, NLee ???? GRIN
The 17 day diet has been tough but I am definitely seeing results. My mom, dad and I started it last week and we have already lost 15 lbs between the three of us! The tough part is not eating those sandwiches, cereals and sweets. I loved those!! I think this is helping to reprogram how I approach food, prepare food, and eat food. I am excited to see my goal met!!
End of Cycle 1. Total weight loss 8.5. Starting Cycle 2 tomorrow. So far so good. Still need to do more activity. No sugar cravings. Hope everyone is doing OK too. Let me hear some posts about how you are doing, OK.
I purchased the book at my local WalMart. it is not hard to buy. Just starting it. I think I will be able to stick with this one.
My husband and I are both on C2 D6. I love my new eating habits, si healthy and fresh. I started at a whopping 233!!! And am proud to say ive lost 16 lbs so far!! My husband started at 265 and is now 247..that's 18 lbs lost!! We're loving the results, and love that we get to be creative with what we cook. As long se stick to the foods we're allowed for the cycle we're on..we can't go wrong! 67 more lbs to go!! We can do it!!!!
I am a 56 year old woman who has been overweight all of my life. Obesity runs in my family and I have lost a sister at 62 and a brother at 50 to morbid obesity. I have had some heart issues in the past few years and had a pacemaker placed in 2009. I decided in January 2011 that I would really give this diet a good try. To say I have tried other diets is an understatement, Phen-Fen, L.A Weighloss Systems and even a private dietician have not been sucessful for me. I sent for the book and started the second week in January 2011. I am so thrilled to report that I have lost 30 pounds and my cholestrol level has gone from a high of 240 down to 199!! This is a very doable diet and I and sooo happy I sent for the book. My husband has seen the dramatic change in me and has started eating more healthy and he also has lost 30 pounds. I am still dieting and plan to continue on this program as it is promotes very healthy eating.
@Margaret14- ok thank you:)! And one more question! How small does our portions when we eat have to be?
saphire~ yes you can make your own menue and switch things up. You're not expected to like everything on his menu and sometimes some foods are more convenient than others. You can even be creative and make up your own things. One of my faves that some people I have heard try out is cooking some apples in the microwave and sprinkling with cinnamon and you can use vanilla extract. This is great for that sweet tooth that may hit at any moment. ;)
Another lb gone !!! And I walked FIVE MILES today too !!! SO EXCITED !!!
@NLee, thanks for the kudos, I REALLY appreciate it...and I wanted to tell all of you that YOU CAN DO IT !!! Cos if I can do it,ANYBODY CAN !! And I mean ANYBODY !!! ;o)))))
If its okay to create our own menu instead of following the one dr.mike created ? Hey there everyone :) My name is sapphire and I am just starting to do the 17 day diet but I would like to know for the meals menu is it okay if I create my own menu? instead of following the one already in the book. I mean I will use the food he advises us to eat but I just wanted to know if it's okay to create our own meal menu's ? :)

Do You Know the Best Diet Pills of 2017?
The 17 Day Diet is a weight loss plan available in a book from Dr. Mike Moreno, a family medicine practitioner in San Diego, CA. His book was born of a weight loss plan he prescribed to his overweight patients, namely as a way to manage the holidays. The friendly Dr. Mike, as he is known to his patients, is proactive in helping them manage their health and weight, and even created a program called "Walk with Your Doc" back in 2008. Two days a week he and patients meet for a walk to encourage them to exercise and keep the doctor-patient relationship thriving.
In November 2010, The 17 Day Diet debuted on an episode of Dr. Phil with a raving endorsement from the doctor. That appearance was immediately followed by one on The Doctors (the two shows are jointly produced), and a weight loss challenge between viewers of each program initiated. The self-published book was an overnight success and Moreno's supply could not keep up with the overwhelming demand.
In spring 2011, Moreno fielded multiple offers from publishing houses interested in purchasing the book's rights, and he awarded those to Simon & Schuster, who immediately ran a second printing of the book. The only difference was a revised cover. This second printing helped push The 17 Day Diet to sales of more than one million copies by the end of 2011.
During 2011, Moreno and his publishers also produced the 17 Day Diet Workbook, a Spanish-language version of the book, and started work on a 17 Day Diet Cookbook that will debut in spring 2012. They also started a partnership with Bistro M.D. to manage a 17 Day Diet meal plan, with meals suited to the diet's specifications delivered to customers at home.
How the 17 Day Diet Works
The 17 Day Diet relies on a style of weight loss known as metabolic confusion, which means you're changing up what you're doing on a regular basis to keep your body from settling in to a routine.
Like many popular diet programs, 17 Day Diet is cyclical, using four phases, or cycles, to progress people from start to goal. The diet itself does not actually last a mere 17 days, instead, that is the length of time for each of the four cycles.
- Cycle 1: Accelerate. Jump start the program and facilitate rapid weight loss, cleansing, and fat burning. Discourages fat storage.
- Cycle 2: Activate. During this cycle you will "reset" your metabolism.
- Cycle 3: Achieve. Develop healthy eating habits, and develop a new understanding of how to eat carbs.
- Cycle 4: Arrive. Considered the maintenance phase and the culmination of what was learned in the first three cycles. On weekends, you have freedom to enjoy just about anything you like.
If you make it to cycle four and have not yet reached your goal, then it is encouraged and advised that you jump back to another cycle and continue your efforts, on schedule. Cycle four is considered the maintenance phase, and is reserved for those who've reached goal by following the guidance outlined in the first three cycles.
The 17 Day Diet provides direction for a healthy way of eating that is sustainable - it's clean, includes healthy carbohydrates, lean proteins, healthy fats, and eliminates processed and fried foods.
The fitness aspect is minimal, especially at the start with only 17 minutes of exercise per day proposed. However, followers are encouraged to do more as they are physically able and comfortable to expand their fitness regimen.PRO

The 17 Day Diet makes minimal recommendations for exercise; however, like many diet plans, it does not dismiss the necessity of a regular fitness regimen completely.
For beginners, the 17 Day Diet recommends a mere 17 minutes of exercise each day. This can be as simple as walking, you can follow along with the 17-minute workout DVD that is sold on the book's website.
As you progress through the program, become stronger and more able-bodied (for those with no prior history of exercise), the advice is still loose but encourages you to double or triple the amount of time you spend working out each day. Guidance is given to do activities that you love, with walking always being a go-to sport.
Cycle 1: 17 minutes of exercise per day
Cycle 2: 17 minutes of exercise per day
Cycle 3: 40-60 minutes of aerobic exercise most days
Cycle 4: Try to do an hour on the weekends, in addition to a regular regimen throughout the week
The 17 Day Diet relies on a cycled eating plan to help you lose weight. During four cycles, each lasting 17 days (or longer in cycle four), you'll change how many servings of healthy carbohydrates, lean proteins, and healthy fats that you eat each day.
Overall, The 17 Day Diet is a clean-eating plan, with guidance to eat the "right" kind of carbs, meaning white grains and fresh fruits and vegetables, not processed "white foods," like bread, crackers, and cookies. You'll eliminate processed foods, processed sugar, and fried foods; you might balk at the thought of this, but it's guidance that any healthy eating plan is going to provide.
Each of the four cycles has its own objective, whether it be jump starting your fat burn, resetting your metabolism, teaching portion control, or recognizing true hunger. Through this process, you'll actually start to crave the foods that are nourishing your body, like a meal of roasted turkey with asparagus, rather than a burger and fries.
17 Day Diet recipes are available on the Food on the Table Meal Planning App
17 Day Diet Sample Meals
It's fair to want to know exactly what you'll be eating before taking on a new diet. The 17 Day Diet book outlines detailed meal plans for each day of each cycle, so all you have to do is shop and prepare, eliminating the worry and frustration over what you can or cannot eat. The following is a snapshot of what a day of meals look like on each 17 Day Day cycle:
Cycle 1: Accelerate
Goal: Improve digestion, initiate fat burn/discourage fat storage
Rate of Weight Loss*: 5-10% of total body weight; 10-20 pounds
- Breakfast: Plain low-fat yogurt with fresh berries, green tea
- Lunch: Green salad with a variety of vegetables like tomato and cucumber with a homemade vinaigrette, green tea
- Dinner: Grilled salmon, choice of raw or steamed vegetables, green tea
- Snacks: Sugar-free fruit-flavored yogurt, choice of one fruit
Cycle 2: Activate
Goal: Rest the metabolism, stimulate fat burn
Rate of Weight Loss*: Half of cycle 1; 5-10 pounds
- Breakfast: Scrambled egg whites, half grapefruit or in-season fruit, green tea
- Lunch: Baby spinach salad with tomatoes and feta and homemade vinaigrette, green tea
- Dinner: Grilled turkey patties, side salad, green tea
- Snacks: Fresh berries, plain low-fat yogurt
Cycle 3: Achieve
Goal: Nurture healthy eating habits, reintroduce more foods, move closer to goal weight
Rate of Weight Loss*: Half of cycle 2; 2.5-5 pounds
- Breakfast: High-fiber cereal with skim milk, fresh berries, green tea
- Lunch: Whole-wheat pita with lettuce, tomoato, feta cheese, Italian dressing; baby carrots; green tea
- Dinner: Barbecued boneless chicken breast, steamed vegetables like asparagus or broccoli, green tea
- Snacks: choice of one fruit, Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich
Cycle 4: Arrive
Goal: Maintain goal weight
Brunch: Blueberry waffles with syrup, turkey sausage, orange juice Dinner: Grilled chicken breast, steam broccoli, green tea Snacks: Sugar-free fruit-flavored yogurt, raw baby carrots
- These rates of weight loss were determined during an interview with Dr. Mike Moreno in 2011. This is the amount of weight he says you could safely lose within each cycle. Pounds lost are based on a 200-pound person. The industry standard rate of weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week.
The 17 Day Diet Meal Plan from Bistro MD
If you're short on time or not yet comfortable with your skills in the kitchen, the 17 Day Diet Meal Plan is available from Bistro MD, a leader in the meal delivery space. Each meal follows your progress through each cycle, each day to help keep you in line with the 17 Day Diet guidelines.
17 Day Diet Special Notes
The diet is suitable for both type 1 and type 2 diabetics. In an interview with Dr. Mike Moreno in 2011, he noted some type 2 diabetics have used 17 Day Diet and reduced or eliminated their need for medications. For type 1 diabetics, he advises more diligent assessment of sugar levels.
The diet is flexible enough to meet the needs of vegetarians. You'll simply modify the protein suggestions, for instance, replacing fish and chicken with soy, dairy, and legumes.
Those who don't care for seafood or fish can also alter the diet and replace with the other lean protein of their choice, like turkey, chicken or pork.
If green tea doesn't appeal to you, this can also be skipped by replacing with a green tea supplement and/or at least one cup of the tea each day.

The 17 Day Diet, by Dr. Mike Moreno, only debuted in 2010 and quickly rose to compete with some of the biggest and oldest names in dieting. The book comes with mostly sound nutritional and fitness guidance and is oulined in such a way that makes it easy, almost effortless, to follow and see results.
One of the best things about this weight loss plan is its design to not only help you lose weight, but set you up for sustainable weight maintenance, which is the true sign of a quality program.
It's availability via a book makes it widely accessible and affordable, so there are no on-going fees, unexpected charges, or recurring needs to re-subscribe. Purchase it once and you could use it for life.
On The 17 Day Diet you'll "re-learn" how to eat, focusing on a balanced diet of lean proteins, whole grains, fresh fruits ad vegetables; and you'll eliminate the junk and processed foods that were no doubt a culprit in your weight and health issues.
Be sure to follow the fitness guidance, as moderate as they may be. If you're comfortable with doing more, speak with a trainer, medical professional, or continue to follow your own tried-and-true regimen of daily physical activity.17 DAY DIET SLIDESHOWS

I haven't seen any application level benchmark based comparisons between different caching solutions on any platform. > Additionally, it's running on > Windows?! Yes. However as I have said above, application level testing is primarly a test of cache replacement algorithm. So the effect of a platform is less, although not zero. > I don't think it's too much to ask to see results on the > operating system for which you are submitting the changes.

That'll get you data reuse, for both reads and > writes (if you want), in the selected distribution. While the running a test is trivial deciding what IO patterns to run is a difficult problem. The bottom line for sequential, random, zipf and pareto is the same - they all test a fixed IO pattern, which at best is very unlike an application pattern. Cache behavior affects IO addresses that an application issues. The block list of IOs requested by an application is different when running on HDD, SSD and cache. Memory usage by cache is one significant factor in this effect. IO latency (more and less) also affects when multiple threads are processing transactions. Regardless of which IO pattern is used following characteristics to a large extent measure efficiency of a cache engine minus cache replacement algorithm. Hit rate - Can be varied between 0 to 100%. 90% and above are of interest for caching. Read versus Write mix - Can be varied from 0/100, 10/90, ...., 10/90, 0/100. IO block size - Fixed equal to or a multiple of cache block size. Variable complicates analysis of results. Does following comparison sound interesting? I welcome others to propose modifications or other ways. Cache block size 4kB. HDD size = 500GB SSD size = 100GB and 500GB. HDD equal to SSD is only to study cache behavior so all of the tests below need not be performed. For read-only cache mode This works best for write intensive loads R/W mix - 10/90 and 30/70 Write intensive loads are usually long writes Block size - 64kB Cache hit ratio 0%, 90%, 95%, 100%. For write-through cache mode This works best for read intensive loads R/W mix 100/0, 90/10 Block size - 4kB, 16kB, 128kB. Cache hit ratio 90%, 95%, 100% For write-back cache mode This works best for fluctuating loads R/W mix 90/10 Block size - 4kB Cache hit ratio 95%. Thanks. -Amit

Very impressed with work - finally I got someone who was able to diagnose & fix long-standing problem with overflow. Would definitely recommend!!
Right from getting a quote from Matt he was the only choice. The detail he gave when pricing up the job was first rate. He answered all questions I had and offered great advice throughout the quote and the job itself. Weather hampered the job but he still turned up and patiently waited in the van until the rain cleared. Great communication when he was unable to turn up due to persistant rain and gales blowing. I advise all users to use Matt. The cheapest quote and excellent workmanship. Thanks Matt .
Punctual, Professional and good value, will use HEating again and recommend rated people for finding quality tradespeople.

Ahmedabad, Apr 29 (UNI) New South Wales (Australia) Minister for Energy Ian Macdonald today officially opened the Gujarat NRE Group's latest Australian mine, NRE Wongawilli Colliery in south-west of Wollongong, on Australia's south-east coast.
Gujarat NRE's 50 million US dollar acquisition of the West Dapto mine, previously known as Elouera Mine and owned by BHP Billiton, had been operating under care and maintenance since last year.
Gujarat NRE Minerals Ltd, Australia now plans to spend a further USD 65 million over the next two years to bring the NRE Wongawilli Colliery to full production and hopes to ramp up production to around 2.5 million tonnes per annum by 2011-12.
The parent company, Gujarat NRE Coke Limited, is India's largest independent coke producer and the only listed Company in the domain.
Gujarat NRE Minerals Ltd chairman Arun Kumar Jagatramka said his company originally planned to re-open the neighbouring NRE Avondale Colliery, which it purchased in mid-2005. However, after the acquisition late last year of Elouera Colliery, it was decided to consolidate both the mines as NRE Wongawilli Colliery.
