Meeting with Dan Harden in Boston
Work sent me to Boston for a few days. Before I left for Boston, I contacted Dan Harden and asked if he'd meet me. I said I'd like to start learning the internal stuff. Once in Boston, I met Dan at my hotel after work one day and we walked over to the Commons.
I ended up learning a lot of things. One is that Dan is a great guy. Working out with him for the short time I had was a pleasure. I went back and forth from, "Okay how did you do that" to laughing. Most of the time I forgot I was even standing in the Boston Commons.
Two is that I just couldn't push him over. And let me tell -- that was a very disconcerting feeling. I tried pushing with both hands on his chest, tried pulling him sideways using one of his arms, and then placing a hand on the side of his head and pushing. He just stood there relaxed. I don't know how to explain some of what I felt there. Part of it was just like pushing and nothing was budging. Almost like putting your hand on a wall, leaning into it, pushing, and it's just there not moving, but not nearly as hard or unyielding as a wall's surface. And parts of it I could feel that I'd lost my own balance as I started to push. In those instances, I was pushing and Dan was moving his center in such a way that he knew where I was losing my balance or what foot held most of my weight.
It was an eye opening display of some of what he can do. I say some because I also got to feel a small portion of the power he can generate. Another example of this relaxed power was that he held out both hands and asked me to throw him in a judo type throw. I grabbed both arms and that was as far as I got. There were no openings. I never got to the tsukuri, or fit, because I couldn't even get kuzushi. In fact, there was a kuzushi but it was on me. If you've ever seen some of these sayings, "keep weight underside", "extend ki", "keep one point", well, I got to experience them first hand. Dan also showed me the "push out exercise" where I had hold of him but couldn't step forward. Although I didn't feel like I was overly weighted down, I still couldn't take a step. My feet just felt rooted to the ground.
The no-inch punch was amazing. And yes, there was no distance but the force was definitely there. I wouldn't say it felt exactly like a punch, which is more of a percussive feel. No, this was more like a ball of energy/power hitting me and shockwaves vibrating out from where it entered my body. Next thing I know, I'm picking myself up off the ground a few feet away.
All the while, Dan is explaining how all of it is done. He was open and willing to share information on what he was doing and how it was done. He showed me some exercises to do and I tried some of them. Try is a good word. It'll take some time doing them, especially the hanmi. LOL. But in the short time I was there, I will say that they definitely helped.
The stuff Dan is doing is good stuff. I wish I'd been able to visit his dojo and meet everyone else, but I'm hoping that my next visit, I'll be able to do that.

Advantage BlogNews >>
Harmony, Stability and R & D
Earlier this month we hosted several people from our most recent European client. During dinner, I got to talking with the senior executive about the company culture at AdvantageCS. He commented that we were quite unusual for a software company in the way that HARMONY seemed to permeate the interactions he observed among our people during an extended tour of our facilities. And he noted that same harmony spilling over into the many meetings of their visit. He was also struck by the long length of stay of our people (14 years average), and that the mission of the company requires the owners to be employees, which means we never entertain the frequent offers of outside investors.
He was applauding our commitment to stability for our clients and employees as a very good business growth strategy. I left unsaid my thoughts that, for me, it's also very nice to work in a place where harmony and stability are the standard, and it's a tremendous side effect to see this pave the way for stability and harmony with our clients.
This leaves me particularly mindful these days of the recent acceleration of our ACS-sponsored R&D work. Naturally, we're really excited about the new features and technology this brings to our software for the benefit of our clients. However, I'm also acutely aware of the extra strain our accelerated R&D brings to our quality assurance process. We are now underway with a re-conceived quality process and have expanded our QA team to handle the increased volume of R&D.
Stability and harmony. Such powerful qualities to foster success in a workplace and in relationships with clients. Our current challenge is to ensure stability in our software during this period of major R&D. Please stay tuned and we'll keep you updated.

Invisalign is a clear orthodontic appliance manufactured by Align Technology, a company based in San Jose California USA. The USFDA approved Invisalign in 1998. The aligner is customizable, removable and almost invisible. It is an ideal appliance to correct the alignment of the teeth of adult and adolescent patients.
Invisalign aligners are made of medical grade plastic.
Fitting Invisalign is not painful Patients will experience pain caused by the pressure exerted by the aligner in the process of straightening their teeth.
Patients can travel by air as soon as Invisalign is fitted.
Invisalign takes about 12 to 14 months to straighten adult teeth.
Patients should only drink water while wearing Invisalign. They should remove Invisalign during meals and whenever they eat or drink. They should take care to ensure that Invisalign does not fall and break and keep them in their case when they are not wearing them. They should soak the aligner in a clear anti-bacterial soap or denture cleaner when they take them off to keep them clean. They should brush and floss their teeth before wearing Invisalign. They should wear the aligner for at least 22 hours in a day for the best effect.
There are other companies that manufacture clear braces. There are also manufacturers who make fast acting aligners that straighten teeth faster than Invisalign for adults.

PM says Israel will continue to 'defend itself as necessary,' tells Guatemalan president 'muchas gracias' for embassy opening
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday credited the army's "determination" for the sharp drop in violence on the Gaza border over the last day, vowing Israel would continue working to prevent any attempted attacks from the coastal enclave.
"I'm happy to say that today at least we saw a relatively quiet day on the Gaza border. This is good. This happened because of our proper preparedness and the determination of IDF soldiers that defend our borders," said Netanyahu in Hebrew remarks.
Rejecting Hamas's claims the border protests were non-violent, Netanyahu said the riots were a "warlike move by Hamas."
"Israel will continue to defend itself as necessary and will not allow anyone who calls for its destruction to break into our borders and threaten our communities," he said.
On Monday, some 40,000 Palestinians took part in riots on the Gaza border, during which the Hamas-run health ministry said 60 were killed. A notable drop in violence was recorded Tuesday, with two Palestinians said killed. No deaths were reported in clashes Wednesday, though Israeli tanks twice targeted Hamas positions in response to shots fired at troops.
Hamas acknowledged Wednesday 50 of the 62 Palestinian killed this week were its members. Islamic Jihad, another Gaza-based terror group, said three of its members were killed.
While Hamas has described the protests as non-violent, Israel has accused the terror group of using them as cover to carry out attacks and damage the border fence.
Netanyahu spoke at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, where a reception was held for Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales after his country inaugurated its new embassy in Jerusalem earlier in the day.
"Muchas gracias," Netanyahu told Morales, while noting the 70 years of "amistad" — friendship — between the two countries.
Netanyahu said he planned to visit Guatemala, calling the country a "bridgehead" for Israel to expand its ties with Latin American states.
"This year in Guatemala," Netanyahu said, in a play on the Passover saying "Next year in Jerusalem."
Echoing Netanyahu, Morales praised the long-held ties between Guatemala and Israel.
"Today, 70 years later, we're still here. We're still friends," he said. "Guatemala is a friend, and we're here to help you and to serve you."
Morales also noted his country's strong backing of the United States, which on Monday became the first country to open its embassy in Jerusalem.
"Guatemala made a sovereign decision to return its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. We will always say to you, with our most sincere feelings: We are friends, we are brothers. We believe in many beautiful things. We look into the future with hope," said Morales.
As reported by The Times of Israel

How to Triple Ralphs Coupons!
Go to:
My Ralphs and create a profile. They will sync your profile up to your already existing Ralphs Rewards Card. If you aren't using one, sign up today as you are missing out on BIG savings!
Then, load coupons that are usually in print, onto your card from their site.
I tried yesterday, and they allow shoppers to use the rewards card loaded coupons along with the printed ones for the same product. (I shopped in area code 91367)
Example- I loaded my Ralphs card with a .50 cents off coupons of Wheat Wonder Bread. I also gave the cashier a printed coupon for .50 cents off wonder bread. Ralphs doubles coupons up to .50cents, so that coupon was doubled to $1.
Wheat Wonder Bread on sale for $2.99
-.50 cent Ralphs Reward Loaded Coupon
-$1 (.50 cent printed coupon doubled)
Total $1.49 for Wheat Wonder Bread.
make sure to check all printed coupons against the card loaded coupons so you can triple your savings!!
Has anyone tried it??- Please let me know your experiances!

Prefrosh Gather on Campus for CPWBy Ray C. He
Over 800 prospective students for the MIT class of 2008 converged from all over the world to experience life as an MIT student, compacted into the four caffeinated days that are collectively known as Campus Preview Weekend.
A total of 894 prefrosh registered for CPW, said Associate Director of Admissions Zaragoza A. Guerra III. Accompanying 516 of the prefrosh will be 779 parents, he said.
Prefrosh are excited to see what MIT has to offer. "The first thing I thought of was, 'I can't believe I'm here,'" said prospective student Kristen N. Sienzant. "I'm greatly anticipating going to a lot of math classes," she said.
First impressions vary
Prefrosh have a variety of feelings about the physical appearance of the MIT campus.
"I first thought that it was big and pretty," said prospective student Sophia C. Kamran. Compared to other colleges, however, MIT "is more confusing; I couldn't tell when we actually arrived on campus," she said, referring to the lack of a distinct boundary between Cambridge and campus. "It's also not as green as other campuses."
"The first thing I noticed was the sponge," said prospective student Adam R. Lerner, referring to Simmons Hall. "I said to my dad, 'Hmm... architects on acid.'"
"I think it looks like it was built by a bunch of engineers," said prospective student Joyce M. Gallagher.
Prefrosh pick from many events
The schedule of events on the CPW Web site includes 196 registered events, along with 125 scheduled classes, for prefrosh to attend.
The greatly varied list of events includes residence tours, liquid nitrogen ice cream parties, fire juggling, and barbeques.
"It's an extremely full schedule," Sienzant said.
Many living groups use CPW as an opportunity to spread knowledge of their group and to begin early recruitment. "Obviously everyone is trying to recruit for their house," Guerra said. The efforts, however, all go towards a common purpose, "trying to get [the prospective students] to come to MIT," he said.
Of the 196 events, 53 of them are official events held at fraternities, sororities, and independent living groups. Several others are co-sponsored by various living groups, such as dormitories.
Deans welcome prefrosh
At the end of the first day of CPW, Dean for Student Life Larry G. Benedict, Dean of Admissions Marilee Jones, and Dean of Undergraduate Education Robert P. Redwine welcomed prefrosh to MIT.
Jones talked about keeping up grades at the end of senior year, Lerner said. She "was like, 'you are all overachievers and we want you to be overachievers, so don't slack off,'" Lerner said. "She's coming on too strongly; I found her very severe, and it turned me off." There are other important things besides academics, he said.
The speeches were pretty good, Gallagher said. Jones "put humor into it, she was down to earth, and she had some good points about not slacking off," she said.
Hosts located all over campus
Residence halls are hosting 597 prefrosh, with fraternities, sororities, and independent living groups housing the remainder.
No FSILG has more than 15 prefrosh, Guerra said. "The general number was about eight, and that depended on how many they wanted," he said. "Practically everyone has somewhere between five and eight."
In addition to the 297 prefrosh housed in FSILGs, 165 are hosted on campus by students with FSILG affiliations.
This number is pretty consistent with previous years, Guerra said. "We try to give them as great a profile of as many residences as possible, as they're an important component of the MIT experience," he said.
Hosts chosen through survey
Prefrosh are matched up to hosts based on how they answered survey questions.
"We asked a couple of questions this year of all prefrosh and all hosts," Guerra said. Specifically, "Is there anything we need to know in terms of matching you up? What do you do when you hang out with your friends?" he said. "That gives us a clue as to their interests."
Similarities in names and religion are coincidental, unless they specified a preference on the surveys, he said.
In previous years, a question about where the prospective student wanted to be hosted, on or off campus, was included, Guerra said. This question has since been removed because admissions was unable to accomodate all the requests to be on campus, he said.

A 17-year-old boy has been charged with manslaughter in connection with the death of Len Saunders.
Mr Saunders, 65, has been described by his family as a "beautiful soul". He died on Sunday following an assault in St Helens on Friday, July 21.
The teenager, who is from the St Helens area, has been remanded in custody to appear before Liverpool magistrates youth court tomorrow, Wednesday, August 2.
A 15-year-old boy, who was also arrested earlier today, has been released with no further action.
Len's family paid tribute to the popular actor, saying: "Len was a beautiful soul who dedicated his life to charity and volunteering work.
"He was a talented actor, poet and musician who never stopped helping people, even in his final moments.
"Born in St Helens he was deeply routed within the community in various projects and is sorely missed by all whose lives he touch.
"He was a much loved brother, uncle and good friend to all and our hearts are broken. A true loss to the community and to our family."

This work addresses primary atomization modeling, multidimensional spray prediction, and flow characteristics of compound nozzle gasoline injectors. Compound nozzles are designed to improve the gasoline spray quality by increasing turbulence at the injector exit. Under the typical operating conditions of 270-1015 kPa, spray atomization in the compound nozzle gasoline injectors is mainly due to primary atomization where the flow turbulence and the surface tension are the dominant factors. A primary atomization model has been developed to predict the mean droplet size far downstream by taking into account the effect of turbulent intensity at the injector exit. Two multidimensional spray codes, KIVA-2 and STAR-CD, originally developed for high-pressure diesel injection, are employed for the lower-pressure gasoline injection. A separate CFD analysis was performed on the complex internal flows of the compound nozzles to obtain the initial and boundary conditions for the spray codes. The TAB breakup model used in KIVA-2 adequately facilitates the atomization process in the gasoline injection.

Syn Check
The following story is a true story and I'm about to share with you a lesson I learnt from it.
Once upon a time a girl was feeling naughty, that girl being me. My hubby is the time of guy who can eat whatever he likes and still remain nice and trim - b*****d! We went for a lunch time date, we didn't want anything big like a meal out - so we decided to go to a coffee shop.
I never really go to coffee shops too often, as I know they are not the most healthiest places. I mean who knew you could chose skinny milk if you wanted - I have clearly been living under a rock! I ordered a hot chocolate thinking I was being good, by not having the whipped cream and marshmallows (this was me being naughty but good). However then out came the next sentence...
...can I also have a bakewell tart please?
I blame the Great British Bake Off for that, but before I knew it I'd paid for our drinks and snacks and we were sitting down having a nice time. I drank, I ate - I was happy... then I go get my Slimming World app out and learnt the reality of my decisions. 20.5 syns for a bakewell tart! God I nearly died and wanted to cry. I couldn't change what I'd done, the bakewell was now having a party with my stomach acids and part of me wished I could make myself sick. I was thinking extreme measures, but what was done was done.
If I could have my time again, I would forward plan and check the app first instead of after. It's good to be spontaneous and do what makes you happy, but looking back I could of had nearly three hot chocolates instead of one bakewell. Yuck.
I guess what I'm trying to say is think before you eat. As I said I don't adventure into coffee shops much and I honestly didn't know what to expect. I have a sweet tooth and seeing the treats just over loaded my will power till it ceased to exist. I think next time I will let my hubby do the ordering and sit at the table away from the sweet stuff. I might not like it at the time, but I'll end up thanking myself later on for staying away from the temptation.
The end.

This morning I took my last final of the semester! I studied hard, read the questions thoroughly... a few times, and used up all but 10 minutes of the time given to me. I'm so glad it's over! Now just to wait for my grade which I feel is just as hard as taking the test itself.
I'm a totally different person when I'm not stressed, too. The apartment stays prettier, my skin gets better, I'm in a better mood! *sigh*
As I was walking to work today I saw lots of emotions on campus. Happiness, tears, sad, stress, tears, excitement, tears. Lots of tears today. I am just so happy that I am done for the semester and have zero studying to do for the next three weeks.

Jake calls me a Grinch because I refuse to celebrate Christmas until November is OVER! Not just Thanksgiving, but the entire month. November already has a holiday. Why does Thanksgiving not get that much credit? It's really hard to believe it's Christmas time when trying to finish up school. On top of that, I think Christmas music is mostly annoying.
I'm sorry, okay.
I just can't help but already be tired of it by day three when it really is only the same 15 songs played over and over and over and over again. That is why I fully embrace weird renditions or even a few new ones that appear each year.
As I tell you this, I'm listening to Christmas music.
Mr. Hubby of mine is at a school meeting and I just finished cleaning the house. I do that when he leaves for something. I somehow think he'll come home and be impressed.
"Wow! This place looks great! You were so productive while I was gone! And even your nightstand shelves...? Wow! Erica, you really out-did yourself this time!"
But he never really notices that much. It's okay. I don't mind.
As I was listening to Pandora earlier while doing the dishes, a new Christmas song came on I had never heard. Yippee! When I checked the artist it was Justin Bieber. Crap.
I've been studying my butt off for finals lately and I was going to put in another half hour tonight but I have decided to slack it off and add in another session tomorrow. I am burnt out today. And I really will. I promise.
I took my lab practical today for my athletic training class and almost got 100%. I did all my skills perfectly until I did an open basket and forgot the ace wrap. I lost 10 points for it.
I know you may not have understood any of that, but I had to add that in.
The last final I have is on Thursday and it's the one I'm most worried about.
Motor Learning.
You may recall a post where I vented about that obnoxious teacher.
Wish me luck!

Sewing Project
This is the dress I decided to make for my project for sewing.
I needed more credits and it was only once a week. Don't make fun.
Complete with pockets...
And a tie in the back.
The final project was only supposed to take around 10 hours.
Mine took about 30 in the span of two weeks. I'm not kidding you.
I went to lab whenever it was open and smuggled a few little things home to work on it there.
The picture did not look that difficult.
It's not perfect, but I don't care.
I'm just glad I'm done with it, and so close to finishing the end of the semester.
Christmas break is just around the corner.

Wall Art
Remember when I took that photography class during the summer (first term)? Well I finally got my pictures back! I found the perfect place for them in the apartment and I think it feels just a little more homey as well.
Posted by Erica and Jake at 9:28 PM 1 comment:
Somethings never change.
I just put a small dent in the wall.
I leaned back in my chair and hit the wall.
Looks like we won't be getting all of our deposit back if they notice...
The worst part is that this is not the first time I've done it.
When I was younger, like 10ish we'll say, I was rocking in my mom's rocking chair and definitely put a hole in the wall.
My parents didn't think I was so cute when that happened.
Even though I'm getting older which should mean more coordination, it looks like this just isn't one gift I've been given.

Rest In Peace
At the beginning of the semester Jake saw an advertisement for a Coke cup that McDonald's was giving out with the order of a large Value Meal. You know, those scams where you upgrade to way more food than you actually need for a small tricket or other piece of crap.
The next day, we drove on over and upgraded so that we could be the proud owners of a Coca Cola glass cup.
I think it was the best day of his life. Since we got that cup, he would not drink out of anything else (unless it was dirty, then he settled for a regular one). It was like a security blanket that helped him drink milk with Oreo's.
And then it happened...
I was doing the dishes one night and had just put it on the drying rack when I opened the drawer below it and out of no where the cup became a gymnast and flipped through the air landing on the rug and shattering all over the kitchen. I watched it in slow motion but knew there was nothing I could do to save this precious keepsake.
He heard the shatter and looked over from the couch. And that face... he made that face that says
I-am-so-sad-about-this-but-I-don't-want-you-to-feel-bad-so-I'll-pretend-like-it's-okay. I felt so bad.
And now that glass-friend of his buried in the landfill to stay.
Posted by Erica and Jake at 2:29 PM 1 comment:
A few weeks ago, Jake and I had a couple over. As we were talking and lounging around, Jake noticed a gigantic centipede. Instantly, I pictured it crawling into our bed in the middle of the night and biting one of us, sending us to the ever so posh and highly technological Kahuku Emergency Room. By the way, I'm being sarcastic. It's as ghetto-country as you'll ever find. Sarah and I quickly hopped onto the table while the guys chased the creepy crawly around the the edges of the apartment.
Finally, it was "killed in half", and although it was dead, I still felt that he/she had friends scaling our walls. We have yet seen another.

This year for Thanksgiving we got together with some friends and we all brought something. I made an overly ambitious pie but it was sooo good!

We also had some friends come over for dinner tonight and we apparently had to have a theme... Ours was matching. Awkward, yeah?

Richie Porte, Julian Alaphilippe and Tony Gallopin are among the riders who took to Twitter to discuss the 2017 Tour de France route
The route for the 2017 Tour de France was revealed on Tuesday morning in Paris and most of the riders seem pretty happy about the variety on offer.
For the sprinters there are possibly nine stage that could end in a bunch finish, while there are mountain finishes in all three weeks for the climbers.
And there's even a few stages for the Classics specialists, with a couple of uphill finishes on lumpy stages. Here is what some of the riders had to say about the 21 stages next July.
1. Dan Martin, who finished ninth overall in his first season for Etixx-Quick Step, seems to be keen on the possibilities for attacking cycling next year.
2. Richie Porte will be swatting up on the route over the winter break.
3. Louis Meintjes finished eighth overall last year and was runner-up to Adam Yates in the youth classification and is motivated to improve on that next year.
4. Meintjes's former manager at Dimension Data, Doug Ryder, will be happy at the number of sprint stages available for Mark Cavendish next year.
5. Julian Alaphilippe could take his first Tour stage win next year, with the third stage to Longwy seemingly suiting his love for short uphill finishes.
6. Even if you don't speak French you can probably understand what Tony Gallopin thinks of the route.
7. Bauke Mollema likes the route, although his chances of leading Trek-Segafredo with Alberto Contador joining the team look quite slim.
8. And Dan Lloyd gets his bets down early…

Clarity and accuracy of reporting are fundamental to the scientific process. Readability formulas can estimate how difficult a text is to read. Here, in a corpus consisting of 709,577 abstracts published between 1881 and 2015 from 123 scientific journals, the authors show that the readability of science is steadily decreasing. Their analyses show that this trend is indicative of a growing use of general scientific jargon. These results are concerning for scientists and for the wider public, as they impact both the reproducibility and accessibility of research findings.

I have an '01 VW Jetta. I took to T.P.
to have work done on. Among that worklist were 4 new brake pads and rotors with the lines flushed. I also had the headlight restoration. After paying the hefty bil, I left and immediately noticed that the new brakes didn't grab like new ones should.
Took back the next day, was told they needed "breaking in". So I drove for months with the constant sound like the pads were dragging on the rotors & brakes sqealing. Took back many more times to be told that the problem was condensation forming when it was parked. Still having issues with no recourse.
The other problem. The headlight restoration. They did that, but there are many bubbles on the surface, but the worst problem....the didn't use anything to protect the paint around the headlights which is now gouged and scratched. Estimate to fix $1000!
They won't do! These people are hideous!
If you are dump enough to puy a Volkswagen, then you deserve all the Farfegnugen that is coming to you.
To 'tp customer'- I'm not quite sure why you made the comments you did regarding my review? I in no way even mentioned a tire in any part of my review. So I'm not quite sure what you are talking about.
Depending on the location of the puncture If that tire happens to fail, T.P will be fully liable for the outcome and pretty much held responsible in our court system in case of an accident . Lord for bid.
I have been a T.P customer for 10 years and I fully trust their proffesionalism towards all of my vehicles. Now are they a perfect repair shop, of course not neither are the hospital , doctors ,lawyers in this world.
Road hazard would of paid for the tire if purchased. Hey, I also learned my lesson..
Tire Plus sucks big time. They will reap you off.
I went to repair flat tire at tire plus des moines, iowa location. I bought that tire from there a year ago. They told me that the tire was not repairable and asked me to change it. It was not even a year old tire.
I was pissed off. Went to the next door Car X and they fixed with without any charge.

You're in the grocery store, and you're pleased with yourself. You've just chosen a beautiful bottle of extra-virgin olive oil labeled with a picture of verdant Italian olive groves. Unfortunately, the liquid in that bottle also contains soybean, corn, sunflower, cotton, hazelnut, peanut and palm oils. Olive oil fraud is rampant. Here's how the oily criminals commit their crimes and how to prevent them.
When 62-year-old Luciano Sclafani, a Sicilian food importer, visited his local grocery store in Connecticut, what he saw on the shelves stopped him in his tracks. Next to a one-liter bottle of his company's brand of extra virgin olive oil1 (EVOO), which sold for $25, was a competitor's three-liter container selling for $9.99.
Sclafani suspected something wasn't right, so he contacted the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection. Food inspectors from the department discovered through laboratory testing that the competitor's olive oil product also contained additional oils: peanut, soy and hazelnut, according to
Connecticut Puts The Squeeze On Olive Oil Fraud, by Diane Orson, NPR's Morning Edition, Dec. 18, 2008.
In 2007, U.S. Food and Drug Administration investigators and U.S. marshals confiscated more than 10,000 cases of olive oil in New York and New Jersey storage facilities. Analysis revealed that the bottles labeled as "extra virgin olive oil" contained mostly soybean and low-grade olive-pomace oil. The estimated value of the seized products was more than $700,000, according to the NPR story.
Not only are consumers duped into paying for low-quality counterfeit products, but they also might be at risk for allergic reactions to the undisclosed types of nuts used to adulterate the olive oil.

WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- The Securities and Exchange Commission approved a rule Wednesday to require fund companies to enhance disclosure of discounts for which investors are eligible. It would require funds in their prospectus to provide a brief description of arrangements that result in so-called breakpoint discounts, including a summary of eligibility requirements. Breakpoint discounts are volume markdowns applied to the "front-end sales load" charged to buyers of mutual fund shares. Typical breakpoints apply to investments ranging from $25,000 to $1 million.

Divergent (Divergent Series #1)
See my chapter-by-chapter review here.I can see why this book got popular. It has some very quotable lines that address some very thought-provoking issues. Unfortunately, this book can't give a good home to those lines. It's just random lines that get tossed out before the actual story and characters move on to doing even more stupidity. No one lives up to their pretty words and platitudes.This book also makes some stabs at being good. There's no love triangle, and there's more female characters (although by no means are things actually equal). There's points at this book where I can see good writing shining through. But again, the quality is not maintained. When it gets bad, it gets really bad.The world is just a hot mess of crazy that never gets properly explained. Supposedly this is a self-contained version of Chicago set in a dystopic future...but they have the same level of technology and comfort as we do? Where are they getting their gas, their glass, their metals, their plastics, all those things that are required for a technological society? Never explained, along with a million other things.The concept of Divergent isn't explained nearly well enough. It comes across as being "normal" in a society of people who are partially lobotomized. (That's the only thing I can think of for why everyone can't be both smart and brave, or kind and selfless, or really ANY two qualities at once.) It's also not explained why Divergent is so dangerous. They say it's because people who think in more than one way can't be controlled, but there's no word on why the leaders want their people controlled when everyone seems happy to go along with the status quo. Even Tris doesn't think about any sort of rebelling until people start shooting at her. The writing is simplistic and the main character is just painfully stupid. There's a weird anti-intellectual streak to this book as they demonize the 'smart' faction for doing stuff like 'fair and balanced news reporting.' This whole book is really just a hot, hot mess of confusion and bad logic.

Four Season Home at Shell Lake/Memorial Lake Regional Park in Shell Lake, Saskatchewan
Want an affordable place at the lake?... where you can drive your golf cart to a beautiful 18 hole course, or your kids (or grandkids) can ride their bikes to the beach?? Then this is the place for you!!
We have a very nice 3 bedroom mobile home for sale in the Village of Shell Lake. It sits on a large lot and we are in the process of buying the lot next to it making it approximately 150 x 85. There is ample room for parking and for an RV. We haven't built a garage yet, but there is a 12x8 shed for storage.
This home was all repainted 3 years ago and had new fibre linoleum and laminate put in. There is a 12x16 porch attached and a nice 12x20 deck on the east side creating great shade for those hot afternoons! There is a double skylight in the kitchen as well as a nice buffet and breakfast bar. Appliances include a fridge, stove and dishwasher. The master bedroom, kitchen and living room have vaulted ceilings. There is also air conditioning.
Memorial Lake Regional Park is right adjacent to the Village of Shell Lake. If you haven't been there yet then you are missing out on one of Saskatchewan's jewels. There is a large campground, great beach, fishing, boating activities and a superb 18 hole mini-golf - with the best soft ice cream around. It was voted park of the year a couple of years ago; AND, it is only one hour from P.A. or one hour and 25 minutes from Saskatoon. We love it here, but unfortunately have to move. Email if you want more information or pictures.

Ponza is the largest of the Pontine Islands (the archipelago includes the islands of Gavi, Zannone, Palmarola, Ventotene and Santo Stefano) and is located in the center of the Tyrrhenian Sea, opposite the promontory of San Felice Circeo, which is about 18 miles .It belongs to the province of Latina, in Lazio.
Ponza has an area of 7.5 km ² and is almost entirely mountainous: the center dominated by mountains Core (201 m), Twenty Three (177 m) and Pagliaro (177 m), reaches the maximum altitude of 280 m upstream of the Monte Guardia , located at the southern end of the island.
The beaches are mostly rocky and jagged, composed of kaolin and tufa, proving (along with numerous volcanic craters off but still recognizable) of the volcanic island. The presence of underwater caves and reefs annually attract thousands of divers, swimmers and of course, who prefer the famous beach of Chiaia di Luna (south-west), surrounded by high cliffs overlooking the sea. Famous are also the Cliff and Faraglioni of Lucia Rosa, named after the protagonist of a tragedy really happened in the nineteenth century. Lucia Rose was a young woman of 19 years, in love with a poor farmer and therefore not entitled to marriage by the family, the girl, in despair, committed suicide by jumping from high cliffs, which was renamed in his name by the inhabitants of place.
The shape of the island is narrow and elongated, and extends from Faraglione La Guardia, south to Punta Incense, north-east, overlooking the nearby island of Gavi, the latter is separated from Ponza by an arm sea just 120 meters away. The vegetation is typically Mediterranean, with a prevalence of agaves, prickly pears and brooms.

Originally published by CDJ on January 13, 2017
The Supreme Court of Oregon issued a decision at the end of last year which perfectly illustrates the lengths to which a court may go to grant a contractor's claim for defense from its insurer in a construction defect suit. In West Hills Development Co. v. Chartis Claims, Inc.,1 the Court held that a subcontractor's insurer had a duty to defend a general contractor as an additional insured because the allegations of a homeowner's association's complaint could be interpreted to fall within the ambit of coverage provided under the policy—despite the fact that the policy only provided ongoing operations coverage, and despite the fact that the subcontractor was never mentioned in the complaint. The decision is favorable to policyholders but also provides an important lesson: that contractors may avoid additional insured disputes if those contractors have solid contractual insurance requirements for both ongoing and completed operations risks.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT : RESEARCH ABSTRACT Throughout the rest of the 20th Century, episiotomy was considered the standard of care by many American obstetric care providers. By 1979, episiotomy was performed in approximately 63% of all deliveries in the USA, with higher rates among nulliparas. In the UK in the same era, episiotomy rates ranged from 14 to 96% among nulliparas and 16–71% among multiparas.The purported short-term benefits for the parturient included its ease of repair compared with a spontaneous perineal laceration, improved postpartum pain and reduction in severe (third and fourth degree) lacerations. Additional long-term benefits were believed to accrue from decreasing the time that the perineum is stretched during birth, including prevention of pelvic floor relaxation, pelvic organ prolapse, sexual dysfunction, and urinary and fecal incontinence. The purported benefits to the neonate included prevention of asphyxia, cranial trauma, cerebral hemorrhage and mental retardation, as well as reduction in the incidence of shoulder dystocia.

Recycling of AlMgSi1 aluminium chips by cold compression
Recycling of AlMgSi1 aluminium chips by cold compression - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
Metallurgy, Vol.51 No.4 October 2012. -
Current work elaborates possibilities for direct conversion of AlMgSi1 aluminium chips into solid billets by solid state recycling. Milling chips from an aluminium alloy were cold compressed in a closed cylindrical die by means of a 2,5 MN hydraulic press. Due to low initial relative density of the chips, several pre-compressions were needed. In order to establish the infl uence of chip geometry on the final density of billets different types of chips were cut by using various milling regimes. The infl uence of a compression regime due to various chip types were followed by load–stroke diagrams. Up to 97 % of density measured at extruded aluminium was attained for one type of chips. Results show that the shapes of the chips and their size especially thickness have a considerable infl uence on the final integrity of billets.

Goddess Party??
July 27, 2009
You can imagine my astonishment when a womyn I barely know, but greatly admire invited me to a Goddess party yesterday. I never knew she too worshipped the Mighty Dess. I have never mentioned the Dess around her (in certain parts of my life I am reticent about my Goddess worship activites, as certain people will make disrespectful, offensive comments).
Carefully, I asked her "…what is a Goddess party?" and she explained that all the womyn at the party are worshipped by men. If the womyn needs a glass of wine, she asks a man for it, and he must bring it. If the womyn would like a shoulder rub, she asks a man for it, and he must do this.
You can imagine my extreme consternation and conflict regarding weather or not I will attend the party. I am completely for the submission of men to the intrinisic matriachrial, feminie superiorty. But to be in the same room as men in a social setting…. I'm not sure.
Please, help me with this one. Should I go?

Well, I have a hard decision to take…. No don't imagine I will stop designing !! Not yet….
No, that's not that… Only, XP is no longer updated so…. I yet jump from Windows 2000 to Windows XP quite lately… And now, I he to change again…. What did I install, Win7 or Win 8, what do you think ?
My computer swithed off alone yesterday, I feared for my dear bytes !!! I just receive my new External DD, I was about to plug it when, no sound, no image… I still don't know what happens, so while it was off (not so often ! LOL), I have time to take a break and think (once again, not too often !) : "Yes, I will move to another Windows…. " , it takes me half an hour for formuling this sentence !! And still wonder wich one .. How long Win7 will be updated… Will my computer support Win8… and those programs I have to reinstall… without speaking of those inevitable loss of datas… Pfuuuu ! But these times, my PC is veryyyyy slowwww., I almost loose my mojo… So let me know what you advise me… 7 or 8 ?
So today, I swith off Facebook…. stop watching for new mails and … I design ! Yep M'am ! I design ! A big kit called "You are so…" and I make a photobook in the same time, so I see what is missing in my kit and create it "on the flight" ! Hope you will love it…
I use this palette :
And here is a free QP I will offer soon (may be today, may be tomorrow…) when I will release my kits : 2 "standard" kits (5 papers + 20 embellishments) + the Bundle and 1 or 2 kits of additional papers…
Well, wait to hear your preference between Win7 and Win8, and I will let you know what I choose and when my "YOU ARE SO…" is released….

In case you've missed it, Tesla had their grand opening of their Gigafactory on July 29, 2016. It so happened to fall on Microsoft's Windows 10 anniversary. Is this hinting at something? Maybe, maybe not; but it sure as heck shows how impressive the Gigafactory is!

Tesla needs to start monetizing everything in sight
One of the big takeaways from Tesla's annual shareholder meeting this week was that future owners of the electric-vehicle company's $35,000 mass-market Model 3, unlike Model S and Model X owners, will have to pay to use Tesla's extensive Supercharger fast-charging network. Supercharger access has always been free, but for the past year Tesla has been discouraging owners from using it for anything but long trips to get them through the "range anxiety" that even Tesla's 200-plus-mile electric vehicles provide. With the Model 3, which will be far less profitable for Tesla, the gloves are off. According to CEO Elon

Donald Trump tells TMZ Sports ... he's not upset that he wasn't able to strike a deal to buy the Buffalo Bills -- because it would have been a bad investment anyway.
Trump was one of the big names in the hunt for the NFL team -- which ultimately sold to business mogul Terry Pegula for $1.4 BILLION.
But when we asked Trump about the situation Wednesday night, he didn't seem bothered by it at all ... telling us he didn't think it was a great financial move anyway.
As for whether Trump makes a run at another NFL team in the future -- guess we'll have to wait and see.

An automated test suite should be a living thing that is easy to update and easy to run. The test suite only adds value when it is run to find errors so it should be built to run many times in a day. This is just normal Agile thinking.
People who are not used to Agile sometimes think about creating an automated test suite that is open to a privileged few and used only at the end of the project when testing is traditionally performed. At best, this leads to a situation where the suite cannot not deliver maximum return on investment because it has limited chances to catch defects. At worst, the test suite will simply become an overhead that quickly falls out of use.
The most successful automated test solutions on data integration projects I have been involved with have been those that business users, analysts, developers, testers and other relevant parties all provide input to throughout the project. This means unexpected problems late in the project are easy to solve because everyone trusts the test suite covers all possibilities. Just this reason alone is adequate return on the investment needed to setup the test suite.
The tests are run by the developers after every significant change and it's not unusual for the test suite to be run 10 to 20 times in a day (as an aside unit test suites in object development are run much more frequently, but data integration test suites are limited in speed because they deal with files and databases and it's often hard to isolate and run the lowest level code the developer writes).
Here, at a high level, is what works for me.
You need 3 things:
- An environment you can teardown and rebuild repeatedly many times a day
- A way of storing input data sets and expected results
- A way of running the input data sets through the system and verifying the output matches the expected results
I usually just build this in the development environment where we have most control over what we can setup and delete and who is able to use it.
The nature of the test suite I suggest is difficult to categorise. It's like a unit test because it's designed to be run by the developers and uses a small volume of data. But it's also like a system and/or user acceptance test because it often runs a sequence of related jobs and should include all the cases we expect to find in the production environment. I suppose "unit test" is the most useful description for practical purposes.
One thing it definitely is not is an integration suite or a basis for application testing. A common mistake is to try and test the flow of the data through a number of systems. It can work under specific conditions, but usually it's working at just too high a level for your tests to run quickly and you are at the mercy of changes in the internals, workflows and input/output interfaces of the applications and distracts you from the real goal of building good data transformation code.
There is an obvious dilemma, though; what happens if a change to an application has an impact on the data transformations?
Well, it's OK to run the application interfaces every so often. It's just that you should try to avoid automating the testing through them. In fact, I strongly recommend you make sure you run the whole application end to end regularly so you can get real feedback on how the system in behaving. It can be manual and doesn't need to be heavyweight - just enough to spot problems quickly and get enough detail to update the automated tests.
This is actually a similar problem to making sure your tests cover edge cases in the data, but I'll cover that in a future post.

Trevor Noah's critically acclaimed autobiography, Born A Crime, delves into the complicated beginnings of The Daily Show host's life, growing up in Apartheid South Africa to a black mother and Swiss father. Because interracial relationships were illegal at the time, the family were targeted, with Noah's mother Patricia often spending short stints in jail. Among many other incredible recollections, Noah's comedic success is the stuff of dreams and his mother's resilience is worthy of praise.
And now, Black Panther star, Lupita Nyong'o will play Noah's mother in an upcoming feature film. Noah's excitement was evident in a recent Instagram post which read, "My mom is a powerful woman who could easily be one of the beautiful soldiers in Wakanda. So it's beyond a perfect fit that she would be portrayed on the big screen by the radiant and regal Lupita Nyong'o. I'm beyond excited."
Nyong'o also voiced her excitement about the project, which she will produce, in her own Instagram post.
Born A Crime was honored with a pair of NAACP Image Awards, also winning the James Thurber Prize for American Humor.
