On CAPS, 78% of the 443 All-Star members who have rated SDS believe the ETF will underperform the S&P 500 going forward.
Earlier this week, one of those Fools, All-Star TerryHogan, succinctly summed up the SDS bear case for our community:
Guaranteed to underperform in anything but a straight down market. The way these ultrashorts are set up, volatility means their returns will degrade over time, so even in a down market they can underperform (or at least not deliver their promised returns). Hold these for the long term at your own risk.

Environment & Waste
Environment & Waste
What is waste management?
Waste management is the "generation, prevention, characterization, monitoring, treatment, handling, reuse and residual disposition of solid wastes". There are various types of solid waste including municipal (residential, institutional, commercial), agricultural, and special (health care, household hazardous wastes, sewage sludge). The term usually relates to materials produced by human activity, and the process is generally undertaken to reduce their effect on health, the environment or aesthetics.
Issues relating to waste management include:
• Generation of waste
• Waste minimization
• Waste removal
• Waste transportation
• Waste treatment
• Recycling and reuse
• Storage, collection, transport, and transfer
• Treatment
• Landfill disposal
• Environmental considerations
• Financial and marketing aspects
• Policy and regulation
• Education and training
• Planning and implementation.
Responsible waste management begins long before we throw our waste into the bin, it begins when we decide we need or want to purchase something.
Everything we purchase has some element of waste to it. We can control the degree to which this has an impact on our environment by:
• Avoidance – Avoid buying new things, borrow from friends and family.
• Reuse – Reuse calico or green bags when you go shopping.
• Recycling – take your Recycling goods and Green Waste to the relevant facilities for maximum resource recovery.
The more waste we can avoid, reuse or recycle, the less waste we send to landfill. Waste in landfill produces greenhouse gases and can have other harmful effects on us and our natural environment.

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Dec. 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The California Academy of Physician Assistants (CAPA) today announced that it has partnered with NeedyMeds, a national non-profit organization, to launch a prescription drug discount card that will help Californians lower the costs of their medications and other health care services. The discount card, which is free and can be used by all California families to save up to 80% off the cost of prescription medications, can be used by those without insurance or those who decide not to use their insurance.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111213/PH22006LOGO )
"CAPA and its physician assistant members are dedicated to expanding access to high-quality, cost-effective care for all California citizens. The CAPA drug discount card will help reduce out-of-pocket costs for California consumers, help patients stay healthy, and reduce long-term health costs for California families," said CAPA President Eric Glassman. "Difficult economic times are forcing many Californians to make wrenching and potentially devastating choices between taking their medications or feeding their families and paying rent. The CAPA drug discount card will help keep costs manageable while also helping to ensure that Californians stay on their doctor-prescribed treatment regimes."
The CAPA/NeedyMeds drug discount card is free and open to anyone. There are no income, insurance or residency requirements, and no fees or registration process is needed to use the card. One card can be shared with friends and family members, or patients can print their own. California residents can obtain a card from many local physician assistants, participating allied providers and health care groups, or by downloading a card from the CAPA website, www.capanet.org.
"At a time when all California families are trying to stretch their budget dollars, every little bit helps. CAPA hopes that all Californians, particularly those from vulnerable or low-income communities, will use the discount card to help afford treatment and stay healthy," added Glassman. "Ensuring that all Californians have access to high quality care is not only the right thing to do from a health perspective, but also makes good financial sense. When patients are healthy and effectively managing their medical conditions, it can mean lower long-term health care costs in the form of fewer treatments or fewer visits to doctors and emergency rooms that are often associated with worsening conditions."
To use the CAPA drug discount card, a California consumer simply presents the discount card to his or her pharmacist along with the desired prescription, and the pharmacist tells the consumer how much can be saved using the card. The drug discount card is accepted at over 60,000 pharmacies nationwide, including Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, and other regional chains and local stores. The card cannot be combined with insurance. The card can, however, be used instead of insurance if the insurance has no drug coverage, there is a high drug deductible, there is a low medicine cap that has been met, there is a high copay and the card offers a better price, or if a consumer is in the Medicare Part D "donut hole."
NeedyMeds is a Massachusetts-based nonprofit organization that provides comprehensive information on assistance available for people having difficulties paying for their medications or health care.
For more information about the CAPA Prescription Drug Discount Card, or to download a copy of the card, please visit: www.capanet.org. For more information about medical assistance programs, please visit www.needymeds.org.
About CAPA
The Mission of the California Academy of Physician Assistants is to represented and serve PAs statewide. As an advocate of its members for quality healthcare and for their valued, unique alliance with supervising physicians, CAPA will enhance, educate, and empower physician assistants for the ultimate benefit of their patients.

One of the major issues for the Comcast TiVo deployment has been the need for a truck roll. The software development was predicated on the ability of the cable MSO to remotely deploy the software without the need to send out a technician. But that didn't quite work when Comcast started deploying the software, the infrastructure for remote deployment wasn't really ready to face the real world. But now TiVo's Tom Rogers says that's changing, according to Multichannel News:
Rogers said this software-downloading capability "will be ready shortly,†enabling MSOs to upgrade the features of the set-top box without requiring an expensive truck roll. This "auto flip†— an automated modification that can be done remotely — is vital to the next generation of DVRs, he said, noting that the first implementation will be on Comcast systems in New England.
According to Rogers, it took 18 months to develop the auto-flip capability for Comcast, and 10 months of that was just developing the statement of work! I guess we know why it took so long for the TiVo Comcast software to appear. Though, having worked for, and with, a number of large corporations in my career, I'm really not surprised. Rogers also has a gift for understatement:
He said that "the infrastructure that enables [the service] proved not to be very stable†at first.
No kidding. There is some more in the article if interested.

There seems to be something oddly familiar about the words I am about to type: In DC, it's not the crime it's the cover-up. The phrase implies that the public cares less about an official's wrongdoings than they do the fact that they tried to cover it up. This is a lesson that you would have thought the Trump administration learned after their National Security Advisor Michael Flynn was forced to resign amid revelations that he had illegally communicated with Russian Officials before officially taking office and then lied about it. However, less than a month later, here we are again. In this latest round of "who's been talking to Russia" Attorney General Jeff Sessions is under the microscope.
It has recently been revealed that Sessions, who served as a high profile surrogate for President Trump during the campaign, met with the Russian Ambassador to the United States Sergey Kislyak twice around the time of what US intelligence officials have said was the height of the Russian cyber campaign to upend the presidential race. This on its own would be incredibly concerning, but there is still more. Sessions, during his confirmation hearings to become Attorney General, was asked verbally by Senator Al Franken (D-MN) what he would do if he "learned of any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign had communicated with the Russian government in the course of the 2016 campaign." Sessions replied that "I am not aware of any of those activities, I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I did not have communications with the Russians." Later, Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) asked Sessions for written answers to questions; One of which was "have you been in contact with anyone connected to any part of the Russian government about the 2016 election, either before or after election day?" Sessions answer to the questions was a single word. "No." Since news of the meetings broke, Attorney General Sessions has denied any wrongdoing. In a statement issued by his office earlier this week, Sessions said that he "never met with any Russian officials to discuss issues of the campaign. [He has] no idea what this allegation is about. [The report] is false." Justice Department officials later clarified that, while Sessions did meet with the Ambassador, he was meeting in his capacity as a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Session's initial denial and then, frankly, weak explanation, is just another example of the Trump Administration's causal relationship with the truth and with ethical standards. More worrisome, this now makes two Trump campaign officials who have been caught lying about the contacts they had with high-ranking Russian diplomats. I said in my special report before Flynn's resignation that "by displaying a willing to deceive those around him, including the President and Vice President, Flynn undermines his own credibility and leaves those who are counting on his judgment further in the dark." The same is true for Sessions, except instead of lying to the President – an act that is horrific in its own right – Sessions lied under oath to the body that is supposed to oversee his department and provide a check on his actions, the United States Senate. The Russian caper aside, this is an atrocious act and one that deserves to be met with resignation or impeachment. Stay Tuned.

Preliminary information indicates the following:
• At approximately 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday, January 23, 2013, an officer with York Regional Police was traveling southbound on Bathurst Street. In an attempt to stop a vehicle that was traveling northbound, the officer made a U-turn and followed the vehicle.
• A short time later, near the intersection of Bathurst Street and Teefy Avenue, the driver of the civilian vehicle drove off the road and down an embankment.
• She was taken to Mackenzie Health, and then to Sunnybrook Hospital for treatment of a broken leg and broken arm.
The SIU has assigned three investigators, two forensic investigators and a collision reconstructionist to probe the circumstances of this incident.
Anyone who may have witnessed this incident is asked to contact the lead investigator at 416-622-2314 or 1-800-787-8529 extension 2314.
The SIU is a civilian agency that investigates reports involving police where there has been death, serious injury or an allegation of sexual assault. Under the Police Services Act, the Director of the SIU must
- consider whether an officer has committed a criminal offence in connection with the incident under investigation
- depending on the evidence, lay a criminal charge against the officer if appropriate or close the file without any charges being laid

Where to place client assets based on tax considerations
Show more sharing options
Share Show more sharing options
The importance of asset allocation is well accepted, but asset location also can play a vital role.
If clients have substantial holdings in both tax-deferred retirement plans and regular taxable accounts, which assets should go where?
"Clients can only spend their after-tax returns," says David Upin, a financial advisor with the Upin Sieben Group of RBC Wealth Management in Minneapolis. "So investors should not shrug off this often critical decision of placing the right asset in the right account."
"We look at whether tax-free municipal bonds make sense within each client's fixed-income allocation," says Jeffrey Bell, a certified financial advisor with Edward Jones in Bakersfield, Calif. "If so, we do as much as we can in taxable accounts."
BelI also places non-dividend-paying stocks in taxable accounts. If stocks don't pay dividends, there will be no tax bill each year. Sales of such stocks in a taxable account will produce either a low-taxed capital gain, assuming a holding period of more than one year, or a capital loss that provides tax benefits.
"We have much longer time horizons for holdings in taxable accounts," Upin says.
"Broad-market, tax-efficient, equity [exchange-traded funds] are an excellent choice for long-term investments," he says. "Efficiently managed ETFs will not surprise investors with unexpected capital gain distributions like those from many mutual funds."
In addition, there may be estate planning benefits of using such equity ETFs in taxable accounts, says Dave Sieben, Upin's fellow advisor and partner.
"Equities have provided more deferred capital appreciation than bonds over the long term, \so they may get a step-up in cost basis for heirs," he says.
Conversely, if appreciated equities are left to retirement plan beneficiaries that appreciation may be heavily taxed upon withdrawal.
Nevertheless, advisors also find reasons for putting some equities in individual retirement accounts, 401(k)s and so on.
"Investing retirement plan assets in growth or aggressive growth not only saves current income and capital gains taxes but also helps clients focus on the long-term nature of equity investing," says Charles L. Nemes,senior vice president of investments atNemes Rush Private Wealth Management of Raymond James in Novi, Mich. "That may take their mind off the short-term gyrations in the markets."
Maria Pisa, a financial advisor with Edward Jones in Calabasas, Calif., favors holding dividend-paying common stocks as well as funds holding such stocks in tax-deferred accounts, to defer the tax on those dividends.
"In addition, bonds [except municipals], preferred stocks and real estate investment trusts should go into those accounts," she says.
As Sieben says, "purchasing taxable bonds in taxable accounts can take a big bite out of after-tax returns, especially for high-earner clients," so yield-oriented assets may fare better in tax-deferred territory.

During this year's Manchester Jazz Festival, we were treated to the Jazz on Film series at HOME, and what treats they were. Bertrand Tavernier's 'Round Midnight, a Tubby Hayes documentary called Man in a Hurry, Bird and Mo' Better Blues. All these films have been covered thoroughly elsewhere, so I will focus on the fecund period of 1958-1962 and on some more obscure offerings.
Lift to the Scaffold by Louis Malle, better translated as the more noir-ish 'Elevator to the Gallows', came out in 1958. Godard's Breathless only followed in 1960. The film is structured around a romance, but it's much more than that. The blonde femme fatale, cool jazz and the city itself are stars here, but the film manages to underwire this slick, entertaining surface with the geopolitics of the era. No mean feat.
We begin with the intensity of a personal phone call, which pulls back to the impersonal facade of modernity – the Pollock spatter marble and deco features, the frozen blues of Miles Davis, the mirror windows critiqued by Benjamin and artists such as Dan Graham. But the heat swells under the facade – the exploitation of the colonies, geology, oil pipelines, documents, indexes, revolvers and spy cameras.
The spy camera is a crucial plot device. I won't give spoilers, but the Cold War and the hot wars of Indochina are key to it. This film is loaded with things that will only fully explode a decade later. "Don't sneer at war, it's your bread and butter," a key character says to an industrialist, before shooting him stone dead. This is a jazz movie, but it is also a great post-World War Two conspiracy film.
There's the hipster hero, who's a Loki character, but hapless. He's not quite modelled on Genet – he's heterosexual for a start – but he couldn't exist without Genet. "My generation has other things on its mind," he says. 1968, ten years away, is right here. Turtle necks with cool pendants, wool polo shirts and Miles, an envelope of clothes and detached musical ice, with searing lava bubbling up from below.
The 'lift' of the title provides the horror of smooth modernity breaking down. A strange thunderclap motif imposes itself on the narrative sometimes, seemingly arbitrarily, but it puts cracks in the straight urban surface. The smoothness; the coupe with an automatic roof; the American culture of motels in Europe; and the 'trouble in paradise' of the murder of German tourists there by the delinquent hipster-hero, the narcissus in a leather jacket with a duck's arse quiff.
The film already looks like a Fassbinder, but we have to wait for the homosexuality to arrive. Here we have pinball machines and the American 'liberators', but also the American oppressors in Vietnam.
There's class: the flower shop girl and the industrial capitalist's trophy wife; night haunts and the city; drunk tanks and prostitutes. The hidden underside here is punk in its original form, as in 'beat', as in toilet trader. Then there's the ecology and ethics, the concerned geologist doomed to prison.
If Lift to the Scaffold is about the cool surfaces of modernity and what lies under them, reflected in Miles Davis's melancholic but aloof score, the Thelonius Monk film, Straight No Chaser, talks to the purely irrational 'hot' core of jazz as a music.
People talk about Syd Barrett and Skip Spence, but Monk really was mentally ill and his music has still not been fully assimilated by the western mainstream. If writing about music is like dancing to architecture, writing about the Monk film is like trying to describe the Bilbao Guggenheim using the medium of foxtrot. Just go and see it.
Similarly, Lily Kreber's Bayou Maharajah, on New Orleans pianist James Booker, whom Dr. John described as "the best black, gay, one-eyed, junkie piano genius New Orleans has ever produced", must simply be watched. If Monk remains unassimilated, figures such as Booker have been buried for decades, under a hideous culture of systematic rip-off, under sheer prejudice. This dark, sad side of jazz is still only barely lit, even now.
Drugs ghost jazz, including two recent mainstream films on Miles Davis and Chet Baker. You can read what others say about those movies, but The Connection, put out by RCA in 1961, by experimental filmmaker Shirley Clarke, is a real curate's egg. It fully faces the drugs behind the music. The film was based on a play by Jack Gelber and the theatrical origins protrude right through the celluloid in places.
A title card explains that the film was assembled from footage shot by the cameraman, 'J.J.', who was working for the documentary filmmaker Jim Dunn, who has since disappeared. This is a chaotic, claustrophobic drama shot on 16mm, with all the jumps and edits kept within the reel, on top of a real changeover of reels in the cinema, three in total.
The junkie crash pad owner is called Leach. He looks like a young Steve Buscemi, lizard-eyed and perfect for the role. He pulls a pineapple out of the stove, setting the 'world upside down' tone of the film. A sign reading, 'Hell, which route do you take?' hangs over the toilet, which as it turns out is where everyone shoots up, including the filmmaker, who is eventually drawn in there in the name of authenticity.
'Cowboy isn't back yet.' For the first half of the film, this Godot-like metaphor hangs over everything, except that Cowboy actually does show up. "He's never early, he's always late." The "first thing you learn is that you always got to wait." And this film is definitely about waiting. They are waiting for the connection of the title, "the man behind the man, behind the man." "There is no such man," one junkie says, perhaps pre-empting Foucault. The Salvation Army woman comes and goes, 'the chicks' that are due to arrive never do.
We have to endure some existential nonsense in places – lines like, "If man is transparent, how do you account for his shadow?" and, "I read you cats" – but the period slang is well outweighed by some great lines. At one point, Cowboy – when he shows up – says, "I'm tired, I've been moving my whole life," from behind cool shades, and it could be about any of us.
This film leads you to believe it's a scratchy amateur mess, before giving you a very professional film about filmmaking. The documentary maker appears to make the movie and appeals to us, or rather the cameraman. He talks about Eisenstein and is clearly 'square'. This is a staging of a staging of a staging, a Brechtian Russian dolls' nest of views, a Piranesi opium dream, falling into vertigo, then waking sharply.
One junkie accuses the director of capturing "the freaks, but not you". The same character then gleefully "turns him on" and some of the old junkies want to watch. This is the hardcore of the film, and it speaks to all the narratives in anthropology about being 'inside' or 'outside'. The camera casts a big self-conscious shadow on the wall at one point, by a weird diagram, part occult, part junk map, and the film becomes both theatre and a critique of itself in one move.
The detached observer 'goes native.' He's trying to 'make an honest human document', but is eaten by it. I was more than happy to be eaten by this film for two and a quarter hours, and by everything HOME showed in the series. A great piece of curating.Steve Hanson

About the ProductThe Delta Collection is made up of various pieces that can be used to form exterior lounge areas, but are also adequate for interior ones, thanks to their neutral shapes that are still full of identity. One of the characteristics of this set is that it looks light, because it rests on the floor on beautifully formed aluminium legs which give the object an appearance of virtually floating. Another distinctive characteristic is the side table joined to the main unit, which at the same time is an armrest and a surface to lean on. Itメs build allows for making different combinations of pieces, to adapt them freely to any architectural space. With the corner unit it is easy to fit into angular spaces.

A businessman claims the value of his house has almost HALVED in the past four years . . . because his estate has been overrun by yobs.
Angry Frank Bowe has vowed to sue the council he blames for letting the area deteriorate so rapidly that his three-bedroom home is worth less than when he bought it 13 years ago.
Frank, 60, said: "I used to be proud to say where I live. Now I shrink when people ask me. We just want to be able to enjoy our home."
Boarded-up houses are becoming the norm in the area of Bishop Auckland, County Durham, where he lives with wife Sylvia, and son Gary, 38, who has cerebral palsy.
It was so different in 1989 when the couple forked out £21,000 for their former council home in Melrose Drive.
They had lived in the area for 25 years and had no reason to leave then.
At first it seemed like a good move. When they had the house valued again four years later, it was worth £32,000.
But by last year its value had plummeted to just £17,000.
Frank said: "This used to be a lovely area but about four or five years ago some of the houses started to empty and we got some problem families moving in. Groups of youths started using the out-houses in the gardens, needles and bottles were being found, and fires were being started.
"Gradually it got worse and worse."
The couple are so concerned that they refuse to let their two grandchildren visit them.
And in what could be the first case of its kind, they are set to sue Wear Valley District Council for the loss in value of their home.
Frank said: "We don't let our grandchildren stop here because our eldest woke up one night hysterical because he could hear a teenager smashing windows with a baseball bat.
"We don't get any sleep at night and are scared of going away on holiday."
Harold Douthwaite is the councillor for St Helen Auckland ward.
He said: "We have a programme to demolish houses and are looking at four different options for revamping the estate.
"But first we need to look at what housing is required. Estates get run down when not enough people want to move in, and we are not alone.
"As regards the value of Mr Bowe's house, that is the chance you take when you buy a council house.
"In some areas the value of the house might have gone up instead of down. That is the gamble."

Guacamole (Spanish: [(ɡ)wakaˈmole] (listen), see below for more; informally shortened to guac in the United States[1] since the 1980s)[2] is an avocado-based dip, spread, or salad first developed in Mexico.[3] In addition to its use in modern Mexican cuisine, it has become part of international and American cuisine as a dip, condiment and salad ingredient.[4][5]

|Alternative names
|Mexican food
|Place of origin
|Main ingredients
|Avocados, sea salt, lime juice
|Mantequilla de pobre
Etymology and pronunciationEdit
The name comes from Classical Nahuatl āhuacamōlli [aːwakaˈmoːlːi], which literally translates to 'avocado sauce', from āhuacatl[6] [aːˈwakat͡ɬ] 'avocado' + mōlli [ˈmoːlːi] 'sauce'.[3] In Mexican Spanish, it is pronounced [wakaˈmole],[7][8] in American English, it tends to be pronounced /ˌɡwɑːkəˈmoʊliː/, and in British English, /ˌɡwɑːkəˈmoʊleɪ/.[9][10]
Avocados were first cultivated in South Central Mexico around 10,000 years ago.[11][12][13] In the early 1900s, avocados frequently went by the name alligator pear.[14]
Guacamole has increased avocado sales in the U.S., especially on Super Bowl Sunday and Cinco de Mayo.[15] The rising consumption of guacamole is most likely due to the U.S. government lifting a ban on avocado imports in the 1990s and the growth of the U.S. Latino population.[16]
Guacamole dip is traditionally made by mashing ripe avocados and sea salt with a molcajete y tejolote (mortar and pestle).[17][18] Recipes often call for lime juice, cilantro, and jalapeños. Some non-traditional recipes may call for sour cream, tomatoes, basil, or peas.[19]
Due to the presence of polyphenol oxidase in the cells of avocado, exposure to oxygen in the air causes an enzymatic reaction and develops melanoidin pigment, turning the sauce brown.[20] This result is generally considered unappetizing, and there are several methods (some anecdotal) that are used to counter this effect, such as storing the guacamole in an air-tight container or wrapping tightly in plastic to limit the surface area exposed to the air.[21]

As the major ingredient of guacamole is raw avocado, the nutritional value of the dish derives from avocado vitamins, minerals and fats, providing dietary fiber, several B vitamins, vitamin K, vitamin E and potassium in significant content (see Daily Value percentages in nutrient table for avocado). Avocados are a source of saturated fat, monounsaturated fat and phytosterols, such as beta-sitosterol.[22][23] They also contain carotenoids, such as beta-carotene, zeaxanthin and lutein.[24]
Similar foodsEdit
Mantequilla de pobreEdit
Mantequilla de pobre (Spanish for '"poor-man's butter"') is a mixture of avocado, tomato, oil, and citrus juice.[25] Despite its name, it predates the arrival of dairy cattle in the Americas, and thus was not originally made as a butter substitute.[4]
Thinner and more acidic,[26] or thick and chunky,[27] guasacaca is a Venezuelan avocado-based sauce; it is made with vinegar,[28] and is served over parrillas (grilled food), arepas, empanadas, and various other dishes. It is common to make the guasacaca with a little hot sauce instead of jalapeño, but like a guacamole, it is not usually served as a hot sauce itself. Pronounced "wasakaka" in Latin America.[29]
Commercial productsEdit
Prepared guacamoles are available in stores, often available refrigerated, frozen or in high pressure packaging which pasteurizes and extends shelf life if products are maintained at 1 to 4 °C (34 to 40 °F).[30]
National Guacamole Day is celebrated on the same day as Mexican Independence Day, September 16.[31][32]
In popular cultureEdit
On April 6, 2018, Junta Local de Sanidad Vegetal de Tancítaro, Mexico, achieved the Guinness World Records for the largest serving of guacamole. They created it as part of Tancítaro's 7th Annual Avocado Festival in Tancítaro, Michoacán, Mexico. The serving weighed 3,788 kg (8,351 lb) and had more than 350 people help prepare it.[33]

ChromaDex Corp. (OTCQX:CDXC), an innovator of proprietary health, wellness and nutritional ingredients, that creates science-based solutions to dietary supplement, food and beverage, skin care, sports nutrition, and pharmaceutical products, reported record net revenue of $22.0 million for the year ended January 2, 2016 ("FY 2015"), an increase of 44% as compared to $15.3 million for the year ended January 2, 2015 ("FY 2014").
The record net revenue was largely due to increased sales in its ingredients business segment, led by its NIAGEN® branded nicotinamide riboside (NR). The ingredients segment generated record net sales of $12.5 million for FY 2015, an increase of 83%, compared to $6.9 million for FY 2014. The core standards and services segment also posted a 12% growth as it generated record net sales of $8.4 million for FY 2015, compared to $7.5 million for FY 2014. Net sales for the scientific and regulatory consulting segment increased by 9%, from $1.0 million for FY 2014 to $1.1 million for FY 2015, as more consulting projects were completed during FY 2015. The net loss attributable to common stock holders for FY 2015 was $2.8 million or ($0.03) per share as compared to a net loss of $5.4 million or ($0.05) per share for FY 2014. The non-cash, stock based compensation expense related to stock options and other stock-based compensation in FY 2015 was $2.0 million. Net loss adjusted for share based compensation, which is a "non-GAAP measure," would have the effect of decreasing the Company's net loss for FY 2015 to $0.8 million. As of January 2, 2016, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $5.5 million.
Frank Jaksch, Jr., CEO and co-founder of ChromaDex, commented, "2015 was breakout year for ChromaDex as all significant business units posted record revenue. This is the first year that the ingredient segment has accounted for the majority of the Company's revenue. Activity in new business development remains robust. We expect to report record revenue in Q1 2016 as well as strong revenue growth for the full-year."
Jaksch continued, "We are in the early innings of the commercialization and business development of our lead ingredient, NIAGEN® branded NR. Whereas business activity in 2015 was largely with direct-to-consumer supplement companies, we expect in 2016 nutritional supplement products featuring NIAGEN® to populate the shelves of tens of thousands of major branded retail locations throughout the U.S. Moreover, the recent regulatory qualifications, NDIN and GRAS, have opened the door for NIAGEN® to be included as a feature ingredient in a growing number of food, beverage and supplement products."
"Perhaps the most unrealized value for ChromaDex shareholders may lie in NR's pharmaceutical applications. We have been working closely with the NIH on a therapeutic indication for NR as a treatment of a rare pediatric orphan disease, Cockayne Syndrome. We expect to file for orphan designation as well as an IND with the FDA in 2016. Collaborators such as NIH, are currently performing pre-clinical studies on the use of NR to treat several other orphan diseases."
"The excitement continues to build surrounding the peer-reviewed published research and commentary of NR's potential health benefits as a precursor to the co-enzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) . We continue to build upon our already significant patent portfolio surrounding NR and NAD+ precursors, putting us in the enviable position of 'gatekeeper' to the entire NAD+ precursor category. Our vision is that NIAGEN® will become part of an important NAD+ nutrient deficiency story similar to Vitamin C, Vitamin D, folic acid and Omega-3 fatty acids. A new vitamin of this magnitude is the type of opportunity that comes along once every 25+ years. All of the important pieces of the puzzle – peer reviewed science, media attention to NAD+ story, and the rise of the treatment of aging as disease – are creating a perfect storm for NIAGEN® to become the next billion dollar ingredient."


text: We all know that one person's adrenaline rush is another person's lazy day out and vice versa, so we've trawled through some seriously high-octane and a few more leisurely adventures for everyone to enjoy at least once in a lifetime! Take your pick from these eight fabulous adventures around the island of Ireland… 1. Bog jumping in Connemara Who'd have thought getting completely bogged down from head to toe would be so much fun? They call it bog jumping, and there are a few places around the island that let you go wild in the boglands (the muckier the better). The folks in Delphi add an obstacle course into the mix, so when you're all soaked up to your eyes in mud, you have to run, hop and jump around the place. They say it's "exhilarating, messy but most of all great fun". Go on this adventure now. 2. Alpaca trekking in Wicklow Okay, so alpaca trekking and Ireland aren't usually paired together, but throw in the sublime scenery of County Wicklow and you've got the dream package. If you've never come face to face with these friendly and curious animals, you'll soon understand what the saying 'smiling so much, it hurts' means. On this leisurely outing, Joe and his team will get you up close with these beauties, so you can hear them hum and feel how soft their fleece is. Go on this adventure now. 3. Skydiving with the Irish Parachute Club over Offaly A lot of people would ask why jump OUT of a perfectly good plane, but then there are those who've taken the plunge who say they don't jump for the thrill, they jump for the freedom. It's a moment in time that reaches far beyond an adrenaline rush. After a short training session, a tandem dive over the rural idyll of Offaly will see you free falling at 200km per hour with the tandem master doing all the work, which means that 'moment' is all yours to enjoy. Go on this adventure now. 4. Coasteering in the Mourne mountains Coasteering means swimming, scrambling and jumping into the sea from rocks, sometimes 10m high, under the watchful eye of an experienced guide, of course. With our long coastline, locations for this are plentiful; this particular coasteering session is at a spot that's "chiselled from glacial activity back in the last ice age." The folks who've jumped from Bloody Bridge at the foot of the Mournes say the exhilaration is what stays with you; that and the nooks and crannies they find that are hidden to the rest of the world! Go on this adventure now. 5. Horse riding on a beach in Cleggan, County Galway Picture yourself galloping on horseback along the beach, the sea salt landing on your lips and your horse dimpling the golden sands with his strides… You certainly don't have to be equine mad to go for a pony trek in Connemara, you just need a sense of adventure. Treks vary in length but for those with a bit more stamina, the invigorating 2-3 hour trek takes you from Cleggan Beach Riding Centre to Omey Island. A tidal island, times for rides are ruled by the sea, so always book in advance. If you just want to be a spectator, the Omey Races are held on the first weekend in August, with music, dancing and horse racing – this is an excellent day out for all. Go on this adventure now. 6. Climb a sea stack in Donegal Sea stack climbing involves scaling the towers of rock that stick out of the Atlantic Ocean. There's also a need for a bit of kayaking, swimming, abseiling (rappelling) and Tyrolean traverses at the bases of enormous sea cliffs. But under the watchful eye of climbing instructor Iain Miller, you will paddle with bull selkies and basking sharks and visit the realms of the fulmar, gannet and razorbill before conquering the remote towers that break through the waves. Never done it before? No problem, they have a "wee course designed for those who have never climbed before." Go on this adventure now. 7. Gorge walking in County Down This is less scaling rock faces and more of a wade through water pools, under trees and waterfalls in the company of qualified instructors. And it's lots of fun, especially when you find out this all takes place in the foothills of the Cooley Mountains, with a gorge walk up the River Flurry. The draw? Being at one with some of nature's most beautiful spots surrounded by the sounds of gushing water is nothing short of a spiritual, yet physically demanding experience. Go on this adventure now. 8. Whale watching in West Cork Whale watching takes lots of patience and a little bit of luck. But we have lots of the latter on our side thanks to the mighty Atlantic Ocean. It's a bit like a conveyor belt for cetaceans (whales, dolphins, porpoises) as they travel north to south and back again – always looking for a good meal. What's it like to spot one? Pádraig Whooley of the Irish Whale and Dolphin Groups explains: "There are few experiences that can match the excitement of a close encounter with one of the largest creatures on the planet." Go on this adventure now. And with those words, we'll leave you to sort out what your next adventure of a lifetime in Ireland will be...

A group of Greenpeace activists dubbed the "Kingsnorth Six" were found not guilty of criminal damage by a British jury earlier this month, despite fessing up to defacing a coal-fired power plant in an attempt to shut it down. Their creative legal team argued that the damage was justified under a law that excuses property damage inflicted to prevent greater property damage, which the defense said would occur as a result of climate change.
Guardian" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2008/sep/11/activists.kingsnorthclimatecamp" target="_blank">According to the Guardian, "The court was told that some of the property in immediate need of protection included parts of Kent at risk from rising sea levels, the Pacific island state of Tuvalu and areas of Greenland." NASA climate scientist James Hansen, an outspoken public critic of coal-fired power, testified on behalf of the defense and told the jury the Kingsnorth plant's emissions could lead to the extinction of as many as 400 species.
The verdict could be interpreted as an endorsement of civil disobedience in the name of climate change, which likely thrills environmental activists who favor direct action. Guardian environment editor John Vidal speculates that "the floodgates have been opened and that it will be open season on coal and other dirty energy industries…History would suggest that the carbon protest movement will gain in confidence like the anti-roads and GM movements, and that coal will be targeted mercilessly."
Vandalism as a form of protest is a controversial tactic. Writing for the National Review, Henry Payne slams Hansen for endorsing "eco-vandalism," saying he "has seriously damaged the credibility of a movement that has struggled to separate its apocalyptic rhetoric from more extreme environmentalists who demand violent action to match that rhetoric." The Lazy Environmentalist blog takes a different stance, seeing the verdict as "a vitally important step in recognising potential legal 'rights' of the planet."
On a related note, Al Gore encouraged young people to engage in civil disobedience to halt climate change at the Clinton Global Initiative gathering last week—which prompted the Christian Science Monitor to ask, "Does Al Gore think he's too old for civil disobedience?"

NOAA's Decades Old Worn Out Scarcity Story Challenged Again-This Time By Southern New England Lobster Industry
NOAA's outdated and decades old, self-serving and worn out story line about doom and gloom fisheries status is disputed by the southern New England lobster industry.
The latest lobster stock assessment found lobsters in the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank are doing well; but lobsters in southern New England are not. Most southern New England fishermen disagree with that assessment.

And I do this in many different ways – every week, every day and every call is about guiding someone to find more joy and use of telecom and technology."
"It's easy to enjoy work here, just entering this fantastic office space, makes me happy. And my leaders are really good at coaching us – and I need that. To me, even talking to customers was a little bit scary in the beginning. But with the right coaching, training and a great set of tools, I have overcome my fears, and now I am nominated as Salesperson of the year."
"When I am not at work, I love to take my snowmobile on long trips in the great outdoors. The speed and power are exciting, and I always push myself to take this activity to the next level. It is really here, out in the wilderness, that I get new energy to be my best at work. And with my snowmobile, I can keep on exploring the world, and still be close to my beloved hometown, Luleå, Sweden."

Bureau of Business Research
Date of this Version
A Bureau of Business Economic Impact Analysis From the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, April 19, 2007
Copyright 2013 Thompson & Freudenburg
The Nebraska wine and grape growing industry makes a multifaceted contribution to the Nebraska economy. Like all industries, the Nebraska Wine industry creates employment and earnings opportunities. But, the industry also contributes to the Nebraska economy by promoting tourism and contributing to the quality-of-life of existing residents. The latter point is critical. Population growth, including the retention and attraction of younger residents, is a key policy issue facing the state of Nebraska. The wine industry and other industries that provide new and varied entertainment and cultural options for Nebraska residents play a key role in improving population growth in the state.
The Nebraska wine industry is also particularly important because it contributes to economic dynamism in the rural areas of Nebraska. There are currently 20 licensed farm wineries in Nebraska. We estimate that 18 were open at the time of this study. The 18 are dispersed throughout rural areas of the state. The industry also helps diversify the state's agricultural sector, and adds another type of value-added agriculture to our economy. Finally, the industry encourages economic growth in the state through import substitution, that is, producing a product in Nebraska that is currently imported from other states or around the world. If Nebraska wineries are able to capture even a portion the wine market that is currently imported, the Nebraska economy will grow. And, this has been the recent trend. The Nebraska wine industry has seen a large amount of recent growth. As chart 1 below shows, Nebraskan wine production is increasing rapidly.

Us: When did you decide you wanted to learn to jump solo?
Sully: I have known I wanted to skydive since I was like 11 years old. But my life was soccer, soccer and more soccer for a long time--Division 1 stuff--and I didn't want to start doing anything else until I could really commit to it. This summer was the first summer that it was a possibility, so here I am.
Us: How did we get so lucky to have you as a student?
Sully: The Wasatch is my home. I have hiked the 50 tallest peaks in the Wasatch Front. Any time I need to go somewhere to feel at peace, I head into the Wasatch; anytime anyone asks me where I am from I say, I live by the Wasatch. Long story short, I'm pretty obsessed with the Wasatch...so it felt like fate to learn how to jump out of a plane from a group named after the place that I love so much and will forever call my home. Because of where I live, Skydive Wasatch wasn't the easiest to get to or the fastest, but I am super, super grateful that I ended up here, because you guys are the funnest group of people for sure.
Us: What did it feel like when you showed up here for your first skydive?
Sully: It felt crazy. I showed up for my first school jumps on a day that turned out to be really windy. It came in really fast, so we actually made it to like 9,800 feet before we got word that the winds were too high at the landing area. I was so ready to go, and then I had to go down. I was begging [the general manager] to let me go anyways, but he wouldn't let me. That was obviously a good thing, but it was rough at the time. The next weekend I drove down again, and I was so ready to actually start jumping. I just felt really confident. It was awesome.
Us: You nail your athletic goals like nothing we've seen, so we're on tenterhooks to know: What your goals are in the sport of skydiving?
Sully: Goals are to do it all, dude. In the next like 4 or 5 years, I want to be, like, wingsuit BASE jumping. I'll take my time and I won't do anything stupid, won't rush into anything, make sure I am always ready, and never get in over my head--but the goal is to jump off tall, scary mountains with a wingsuit. Right now, the only thing that frustrates me is that I don't have time to make way, way more skydives, all the time, but time is time, right?

I am Kristine Kruszelnicki, aka throughout cyberspace as "Kruszer", a name born out of my camp counseling days, and obviously derived from my Polish family name. It used to be that a google search for "Kruszer" would bring up nothing but the many discussion and debate groups I haunt, but alas, in recent years my name has been hijacked here and there. Do not be misled. There is but one true Kruszer and behold, I am she.
I was born on the 3rd day of the 11th month of the year 1978 A.D. Which means, in case you're bad at math, that I'm officially old. Not that anyone would buy that. I play for a living, and my favourite artists include a singing cucumber. It's been well said that "growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional."
If I had to summarize myself in only a few words I would describe myself as:
- Lover of all that is art and self expression (dance, music & songwriting, writing, poetry, painting/crafting, photography, theatre and dramatic play.
- Humanitarian to the core; constantly seeking to end the suffering and mistreatment of living beings wherever it exists. (Dream job: full-time volunteer...now if I can only I find a way to make it paid the bills...)
- Passionate lover of people, especially little people. My life consists largely of volunteering and advocating on behalf of children (born and unborn), and their moms.
- Childcare provider/ Early Childhood Educator/ mother-at-heart
- "Health nut"/environmentalist/vegetarian (for compassion reasons)/ hippie-style "run- with-the-wind, barefoot-in-the-pesticide-free-grass, with-flowers-in-her-long-flowing-hair" type of girl
- At times the clown/actress/comedian/goofy children's entertainer type of girl - At other times a "let's dress up and look like a glamour queen/dazzling princess" kind of girl.
- Avid debater/studier of all that pertains to theology, moral relativism, and moral issues.
- Pro-life Feminist, pro female-preachers.
- Challenger of status quo within every movement or circle I run in. Activist for change and betterment. (I fit in no-one's "box", I always create my own).
- Extroverted introvert
- Chatterbox... and unable to restrict a self-description to a mere "few words" :P
This site is (always) undergoing renovation. It's one of my life's goals to someday have a completed web-site featuring all my articles, opinion papers, pictures etc etc.
In the meantime, feel free to check out my blog: http://kruszer.livejournal.com (you'll need to contact me with a live journal account name if you want to be able to read anything beyond my public access posts).
When my computer is functioning, I usually live online 24/7, (even if only as an "away message") I love to chat with anyone with an interesting opinion about something/anything - especially if it's something we don't quite agree on. Challenge me! I'll try to return the favour.

What Is a Thigh Lift?
A thigh lift procedure is designed for reshaping the thighs and focuses on reducing excess fat and skin. The result is an improvement in lower body and thigh contours/proportions and smoother looking skin.
Who Needs a Thigh Lift?
There are numerous people who struggle to keep their lower body in shape. This could be due to heredity, natural aging and/or various other factors. Sometimes, the stubborn fat in the thighs fails to respond to any form of diet or/and exercise, even after significant weight has been lost in various other parts of the body.
The excess skin, cellulite, and fat cells accumulated in the thigh area could make you appear older, heavier, and less toned than you actually are. This can be quite frustrating and make you feel less confident about your appearance. If your diet and fitness efforts have been unsuccessful in firming up your lower body, specifically the thighs, then you might like to consider a thigh lift procedure to achieve the desired results. A thigh lift will guarantee a more proportionate and youthful-looking physique and allow you to flaunt your body in swimsuits and other clothing without feeling self-conscious
Dr. Feldmar can suggest different techniques for thigh lift and customize the procedure according to the specific needs of a patient after a detailed discussion during the initial consultation. He can work to formulate an individualized surgical plan so that you can flaunt toned and aesthetically appealing legs.
Here are some of the common reasons why people consider a thigh lift surgery:
To improve the contours or proportions of their thighs and give them a more youthful and firmer appearance
To overcome the problem of flabby and loose skin on the thighs
When significant weight loss or bariatric surgery has left behind loose, drooping skin in the thigh area
When you are unable to find or fit into clothes due to heavy thighs
Types of Thigh Lifts
An initial consultation with Dr. Feldmar will include a detailed physical examination and evaluation of medical history. This will help in determining which type of thigh lift would be suitable for the specific patient. There are basically three options- a medial thigh lift, a lateral thigh lift or a combination of the two.
In a medial thigh lift, the surgeon will make incisions in your groin area. If you need a substantial amount of excess skin removal, then a longitudinal slit might be considered along with your inner thigh. In this type of thigh lift, the surgeon will remove a portion of your inner thigh skin.
In the case of lateral thigh lifts, incisions might start from your groin and go all the way around your hip. An experienced surgeon will always try and make incisions in the area where clothing can hide scars. However, incisions in a lateral thigh lift are more extensive as compared to the medial lift.
A combination of different thigh lift techniques might be necessary in some cases. The specific thigh lift technique or combination of techniques will depend on various factors such as the amount of skin and fat that needs to be eliminated, the overall skin quality, and the targeted areas.
What to Expect
It is important to know what you can expect from a thigh lift before undergoing the procedure. Dr. Feldmar explains that a thigh lift is not primarily aimed at excess fat removal. The liposuction procedure, performed in isolation, could achieve that purpose. It is when a patient does not have a good skin elasticity that a thigh lift is recommended alongside a liposuction procedure.
Laser-Assisted Liposuction
For the laser-assisted liposuction procedure, the cosmetic surgeon will use a highly-concentrated beam of laser light that helps in breaking down the fatty tissue. The procedure ensures minimal bruising, bleeding and/or inflammation.
A patient will likely see some changes in the thigh area almost immediately after the surgery. But it could be a couple of months before the final outcome is completely visible. Patients usually report a significant improvement in the feel and appearance of skin quality after a thigh lift surgery.
It is natural for some of the visible scars to remain, but they are mostly hidden by clothes, especially in the case of medial thigh lift. The final changes in appearance are mostly long lasting, though you need to maintain a general level of fitness and steady weight. You must also acknowledge some loss of skin firmness due to natural aging.

Offices For Rent Pitstone & Cheddington
Are you searching for Pitstone office rental? As you will find there are little or no actual offices to rent in Pitstone. However, just down the road in Leighton Buzzard there are a number of low cost offices available. Situated within a large warehouse on the Southern area of town.
There are a range of Cheddington and Pitstone offices to rent. Initially we only offered one or two person offices but due to demand we now also provide 3-4 person offices. We can even construct larger offices to order. These offices can be used as storerooms but can alternatively be used as treatment or consulting rooms. We try to be flexible to accomodate your needs.
For a free quote, see the contact us page.
Office To Let Pitstone
These low cost offices to rent near Pitstone and Cheddington are perfect for small companies or business start-ups. This is primarily because of the low prices but also because of the flexible contract terms. A normal commercial lease is for a term of at least 12 months. We offer rolling monthly contracts. That means that if your business expands or contracts, you are not stuck with an expensive lease.
Another common feature of commercial leases is a 3 month deposit and 3 months rental in advance. This is tough on small businesses and so we have reduced the deposit to 2 months rental. Plus, you only pay one month rent in advance.
Pitstone Office Rental
Why not give us a call to discuss your requirements, or better still come along and see the offices for yourself.
Offices for Rent Cheddington
These are not prime town centre offices. The offices are actually located about half a mile from town. However, that has two major advantages:
- Our prices are considerably lower
- There are less traffic and parking issues
We are located on the South side of town. Just off the A505 / A 4146 ring road. This is just 5 miles from Cheddington and 7 miles from Pitstone. Plus, there is a Morrisons supermarket (and petrol station) just down the road. As well as a pharmacy, vet, doctors surgery, optician and dentist opposite. Oh and a Marks & Spencer food hall opening soon too.
Of course if you need to store stock or equipment you will have lots of space available. See self storage Pitstone.
Pitstone Office Rental
In an effort to keep costs down we do not provide furniture or office equipment. Nor do we offer 'break out' areas, conference rooms, table football or pinball machines. You will not find hipsters loafing on bean bags. There is also no in-house gym or coffee bar. We would rather concentrate on offering simple, low cost offices which provide great value for money.
Prices start at £35 per week, plus VAT for a one person office. The only other cost is electricity. Each room has it's own power supply and meter. That means you only pay for the electricity you consume. We charge you the same price we pay our utility provider and unlike many serviced office companies, we do not look to make a profit on this.
We can also provide internet access for our Pitstone office rental clients. Our price is just £5.00 per week. That said, we have a fair use policy and reserve the right to charge more for heavy usage.

We're Here To Help You Prepare For Your Relocation
How To Guarantee Your Next Move Is Your Best
The sooner you start making your plans the less likely you are to make hasty incorrect decisions. We advise that you call in a Biddulphs consultant well in advance of your planned relocation date.
The consultant will listen to your requirements and discuss various options. You will be required to show the consultant all the items in your home which you are planning to ship and any special packing needs. In almost all cases, the cost of shipping relates to the volume of items to be shipped.
Planning Your Move
What To Take When Moving Overseas
Our clients have advised us that moving their entire households and personal possessions makes sound economic and emotional sense. Selling effects seldom achieves a viable price and replacing them with your foreign currency allowance should be avoided. The emotional advantages are obvious: it is far easier to settle in a strange environment with familiar objects around you. However, certain electrical items may not be compatible at destination and our consultant will advise you on this.
Biddulphs International offers road, sea and air transport. We have 11 branches and 6 sales offices throughout the Republic of South Africa, 3 branches in Zimbabwe and 1 in Botswana. The contact address for your nearest branch can be found on our 'Contact Us' page.
Airfreight and Seafreight
Seafreight to most destinations in the world is cheaper than airfreight but specific advice will be given to you by our consultants.
Restrictions at origin
The SA Reserve Bank allows household and personal effects and motor vehicles and boats to be exported overseas by persons who are relocating.
- Determine the approximate amount of expenses for which you will be responsible
- Confirm your removal dates and complete and sign your quotation acceptance form and insurance proposal form
- Notify the Biddulphs consultant if you add or subtract items from your shipment, or if there is any change in the date of the move or the destination
- Visit your family doctor and stock up on essential medicines
- Settle and close all charge accounts
- Get a transfer letter from the principal of your children's schools
- Cancel all subscriptions to magazines, newspapers

>I went to hear a lecture on the Project for Public Spaces (PPS) movement. This is a movement that is focused on transmitting knowledge on the planning elements that lead to creating successful public spaces and community. For example, if public spaces have 10 different uses, then the chances of them being filled and vibrant are much higher than if the spaces are single purposes uses–and always include food!
The discussion that followed the lecture was quite interesting, because it involved trying to contextualize this movement into the Hong Kong experience. Several planners and many geography and urban planning students were present and it was clear that the desire for more public space in Hong Kong is very strong. Some of the challenges they described were the lack of democracy–what incentive was there for the government to respond to the popular will–and the overarching conflict between land values and public space with high land values always trumping the need for public space.
But one problem, I have to admit, I just would have not thought about. Not too long ago, a public space was created with a nice pond with geese and swans. Water is always a great draw in any culture, and who doesn't like to take their children to feed the ducks and swans? The geese and swans disappeared overnight. I leave the rest of the story up to your imagination and the question of who was feeding whom.

Leisure Time Decks, Lilburn, GA
Joel Harper from Leisure Time Decks in Lilburn, GA submitted this gorgeous backyard project image for our seventh entry.
"This is a project we completed in 2012. This was a complete backyard renovation. The project includes a large covered porch on the back of the house with some beautiful arches and PVC columns. We also ripped out all of the old concrete pool deck and replaced it with Zoysia sod. We also added a hot tub spa and pavilion with a wood burning fireplace next to the existing swimming pool. Since the basement was finished, we used LedgerLOK screws to attach the floor system to the house. This saved us a lot of hassle and mess by not having to cut and patch sheetrock in the basement. We really love how this turned out!"
