5. In our previous Report we discussed the different
types of tests used to identify the presence of horse or pig DNA
in beef products at high (gross) and low (trace) levels of contamination.[5]
This chapter focuses on the tests commissioned after the initial
findings, the results of those tests and the results of investigations
into identified incidents of contamination.
The testing regime
6. Three sets of tests were carried out on frozen
and processed beef products sold in the UK market. The FSA requested
local authorities and industry to carry out tests, and the EU
requested Member States to carry out additional tests.
7. The first set of tests was requested by the FSA
on 6 February. This testing took place across 28 local authorities
in two phases: the first tested 224 samples of raw minced beef
products including burgers, minced beef, beef sausage or meat
balls, all of which were checked for horse and pork DNA; the second
phase tested 140 samples of beef-based ready meals including frozen,
chilled or canned lasagne, chilli con carne, cottage pie, ravioli,
cannelloni and spaghetti bolognese, all of which were checked
for horse and pork DNA. The results of these tests were published
at the end of May on the FSA website.[6]
8. On 7 February the FSA asked the food and retail
industry to conduct extensive tests on a wide range of processed
beef products. These industry test results were reported to the
FSA and published on their website on a weekly basis from 15 February
2013. Some 5,430 tests had been completed by 1 March, covering
the majority of product lines in the manufacturing, wholesale,
retail and catering chain.[7]
Testing by industry continued after this point with an additional
19,050 test results submitted. Around 15,000 of the new results
were provided by a single company, the ABP Food Group.[8]
9. The third set of tests was announced by the European
Commission on 21 February. It requested every Member State to
carry out tests on a specified number of samples of beef products
for the presence of horsemeat and, on horses taken to be slaughtered
for human consumption, for the presence of phenylbutazone (bute).[9]
10. For the EU-mandated tests, the UK tested 150
samples of beef products from 24 local authorities and submitted
the test results to the European Commission. The tests included
products marketed or labelled as containing beef as a major ingredient;
for example, minced meat, meat products and meat preparations.
Products such as gelatine, beef dripping, stock cubes, steak,
stewing steak and ready meals which contain beef were also included.
The results of these EU tests were published on 16 April. The
UK also tested 836 samples of horsemeat for the EU and the results
are discussed in the following chapter.
Test results and consequences
for the processed beef sector
11. Of the 364 local authority tests, three products
tested positive for horse DNA above the agreed 1% threshold and
three for pork DNA.[10]
The 5,430 industry test results up to 1 March revealed 44 positive
tests for horsemeat above the 1% threshold.[11]
The UK undertook an additional 150 tests for the European Commission
and none was positive for horse DNA.
12. The FSA commented that "the results from
the industry testing were consistent with the local authority
testing programmes, confirming that the adulteration was limited
to a relatively small number of products." It reported:
13. Across the EU Member States a total of 4,144
beef products were tested for horse DNA. The Commission reported
that 192 beef samples, or approximately 4.66% of the total, contained
positive traces of horsemeat.[13]
The largest number of positive tests was identified in products
on sale in France, followed by Greece and Denmark.[14]
14. Mr Heath commented that "we now have a very
clear view about what is going on with beef products in the UK
market, with an unprecedented level of testing."[15]
He pointed out that while in the UK 99% of beef product samples
tested negative for horse DNA, there was a slightly higher level
of contamination in European products, although this was not of
a different order.[16]
Joanna Darmanin, of the Commission, commented on the EU level
of contamination saying that while it was only 5%, it was "5%
too much, [...] but nevertheless it remains rather limited in
its scale."[17]
15. It is thought that the main cause of the contamination
is fraud. Mr Heath told us:
The FSA also said the contamination was a result
of fraud: "I do not think there is any evidence that this
is a labelling issue. It is a fraud issue, and a composition and
authenticity control issue."[19]
16. The British Meat Processors Association commented
There are obvious concerns within the processed meat
industry about the consequences of this level of fraud in a sector
which should be highly regulated for food safety reasons. The
Chair of the BMPA told us: "Undoubtedly, these incidents
of gross contamination have undermined consumer confidence and
trust in our industry and have caused reputational damage to it."[21]
BMPA suggested that when the media interest had diminished, it
would be important "for all parties in the food industry,
together with government and regulators, to sit down to identify
the sensible way forward".[22]
Peter Kendall, Chair of the NFU told us: "I think it is a
common feeling among the farming community across Europe that
this is something that has real potential to damage our reputation,
so I think there is widespread concern and anger at what has happened."[23]
17. In the UK, figures for the four week period to
12 May show that while there was a 37.1% increase in the volume
of fresh burger sales, frozen burger sales fell by 16.2 % and
frozen ready meals by 12.6%.[24]
In its response to our Report the Government said "consumers
need to be confident that food is what it says on the label. It
is completely unacceptable that consumers have been buying products
labelled beef, but which turn out to contain horsemeat."[25]
A survey by Mintel reports that "only 42% of consumers, taken
from a nationally representative sample of 2,000 adults, believe
the food industry can react to major food scares effectively,
while less than a quarter believe that different elements of the
supply chain work effectively together."[26]
18. Joanna Darmanin, Head of the Cabinet of the European
Commissioner for Health and Sanitation said of the situation across
the EU:
19. We asked Mr Heath how he planned to help restore
confidence to the frozen and processed meat sector. He said that
people should be reassured that "the vast majority of processed
meat that was on sale was perfectly as it should be [...] I can
only applaud the fact that people are tending to buy British meat
products, which they know they can trust."[28]
20. The horsemeat contamination has been a result
of fraud and other criminal activity across the EU. While overall
contamination of beef products has been small, it has been widespread
across EU Member States, and caused much public concern. We agree
with the Government that consumers must be able to purchase products
confident that the product is what it says on the label. We note
that there has been an increase in sales of fresh meat from butchers,
coupled with a significant reduction in consumer confidence in
the frozen burger and beef ready meal sectors in the UK. We recommend
that the Government hold talks with those affectedincluding
farmers, food business operators and retailersto develop
a plan for restoring confidence to this sector before the end
of the year.
21. All the tests on beef products reported here
have been for horse or pork DNA at a level of 1% or above. However,
some of the initial test results from Ireland pointed to lower
levels of contamination. This 'trace' contamination is of a different
order than, for example, the burger which was found to contain
29% horsemeat. Trace contamination is thought to be caused by
"carry over" between processing of different types of
meat using the same equipment. The Local Government Association
explained that trace levels of contamination normally result from
cross contamination and that the law did not specify what level
of cross contamination was acceptable:
22. We had previously raised the issue of trace contamination
of Halal and Kosher beef products with pork.[30]
The Government said it was not responsible for private marketing
standards and that there were no specific regulations governing
the sale and labelling of Halal or Kosher meat; certification
was provided by private organisations.[31]
Since then the FSA has said it will consult the public on levels
of acceptable contamination, and the Government has commissioned
some research on how best to assess and measure low-level contamination[32].
We request that the Government update us on the results of
work streams on trace contamination in meat products in its response
to this Report.
23. Because our food system is complexwith
ingredients being sourced from many places and traded by different
peoplethe ability to trace the supply chain of a product,
for example from the farmer to the retailer, is an important component
of the food system. However, the more complex a supply chain is,
the more difficult traceability becomes.
24. EU regulation 178/2002 introduced traceability
requirements to all food businesses. They must be able to identify
the business which supplied them with a food or food ingredient,
and the businesses to which their products have been supplied.
The Commission describes this as the "one step back, one
step forward" approach and it covers all type of food and
feed ingredients. The Commission explained the system:
25. However, there are still significant knowledge
gaps about the point at which horsemeat entered the production
cycle of beef products. This implies that accurate records were
not being kept throughout the supply chain of those beef products
found to contain horsemeat. The FSA told the Committee that a
50,000 tonne consignment of beef from a factory in the Netherlands
had been withdrawn because the Dutch company could not identify
the source of the meat:
26. We were assured there were good systems in place
for traceability in the UK. Mr Finnerty of ABP Foods, for example,
told us he operated to the highest standards in terms of traceability
of product, in line with the rest of the industry.[35]
He went on to explain that frozen food had greater opportunities
for being contaminated:
27. Although Mr Finnerty said ABP had "never
knowingly bought, ordered or processed any horsemeat," he
was unable to identify at what point horsemeat had entered the
supply chain for the Tesco beef burgers which were supplied by
the Silvercrest factory of ABP Foods. These contained up to 29%
horsemeat. Mr Finnerty said he thought the origin of the horsemeat
was Poland.[37]
28. The results of tests across EU Member States
has revealed that the nature of the food supply chain for processed
beef products can also be long, and may include many different
food business operators from different Member States.[38]
This has made tracing the source of the contamination difficult.
Mr Heath commented on this saying:
Peter Kendall, from the NFU, suggested that shorter
supply chains would help restore confidence:
He also gave some examples of how shorter supply
chains had improved traceability in some products and reduced
the opportunities for fraud.
29. The system for food traceability, including
the requirement that at every stage in the supply chain operators
must keep records of the source of each product and its next destination,
has been breached. Retailers and meat processors should have been
more vigilant against the risk of deliberate adulteration. Trust
is not a sufficient guarantee in a system where meat is traded
many times before reaching its final destination. We are concerned
about the length of supply chains for processed and frozen beef
products and welcome efforts by some retailers to shorten these
where possible.
30. After police raided two premises in north Wales
and Yorkshire and suspended production, the Minister said: "if
there is evidence of criminal activity, I will expect the full
force of the law to be brought down on anyone involved".[41]
Two men had been arrested and were later released on bail.[42]
To date there has been no prosecution in the UK, or in Ireland,
where the alleged fraud was first identified.[43]
31. Jim Fairbairn of Freeza Meats told us he had
been asked to store a consignment of meat for another trader in
Northern Ireland in December 2012. This was later found to have
been contaminated with horsemeat. However, it is not yet clear
where the horsemeat originated.[44]
The Irish Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine published
its Report on Equine DNA and Mislabelling of Processed Beef
Investigation in March 2013.[45]
The Report listed the results of a number of investigations including
the case of Silvercrest of which it concluded that "there
was no evidence that they deliberately purchased or used horsemeat
in their production processes or that these companies were relabelling
or tampering with inward consignments."[46]
It expressed concern about the actions of meat traders and intermediaries
and reported that information has been passed on to the relevant
authorities and the European police co-ordination body, Europol.[47]
32. The Government refused to comment on ongoing
investigations in the UK saying "that is obviously a matter
for the police and for the courts and not for Government ministers."[48]
At the end of April, Professor Reilly, head of the FSAI told us:
"We are awaiting the outcome of what is essentially a criminal
investigation, so I really cannot comment on when the results
of that investigation will come to fruition."[49]
The European Commission told us:
33. The evidence we received from retailers and
food processors in the UK and Ireland suggests a complex, highly
organised network of companies trading in and mislabelling frozen
and processed meat or meat products in a way that fails to meet
specifications and that is fraudulent and illegal. We are concerned
at the failure of authorities in both the UK and Ireland to acknowledge
the extent of this and to bring prosecutions. We are dismayed
at the slow pace of investigations and would like assurance that
prosecutions will be mounted where there is evidence of fraud
or other illegal activity.

a level of 1%. There are two reasons for this. First, that's a

due to either gross incompetence or deliberate fraud; it's not
going to be accidental. Second, some laboratories can only test

Wonderful weekend stay at the new bungalow
We went to the homestay for the weekend. The bungalow is situated atop a hill in the middle of a 3 km wide coffee plantation. The plantation also has rice fields and lots of birds including peacocks. The bungalow is fabulous and tastefully decorated. It has all the modern amenities in the middle of rustic surroundings. Highly recommended for a weekend trip.
Rooms was neat, clean and well maintained. All the amenities like AC, TV, fridge, geyser were working in good condition. The quality of food was good and tasty. There is no delay in check-in and check-out. Activities like swimming pool and indoor games were there but we didn't opt for. It was worth for the money. Hotel arranged cab for sightseeing but there was a communication problem. Hotel is recommendable and satisfied with the hotel.

Friendly staff makes your stay very comfortable
One of the best holidays we ever had as a family. We were looking for a place to run away from the noisy city and this just was apt for us. There is nothing much to disturb you other than birds singing off to glory. The British bungalow is where we stayed and it was comfortable and spacious. The new bungalow is absolutely gorgeous and slightly expensive than the british bungalow but worth every penny Loved everything about this place their service, food, lip smacking snacks during the bonfire, friendly staff who make your stay very comfortable. While others might feel that not having a Mobile signal and television are minus points, we were really thrilled because that gave us a lot of time as a family, lest we would be stuck to technological demon all over again. The staff is very polite, helpful and courteous. Food is tasty with a major touch of malnad cuisine. The trip to Devaramane betta, water falls in a pickup truck were the highlights. Spotting peacocks on the walks through the coffee plantation was fun indeed. There is nothing I would change about this holiday
Food is nice and fresh served at new bunglow.
The new bunglow is the one I will recommend for stay as its interiors are beautiful but ys there is no Mobile signal. But otherwise it was nice for us to spend some quality time with kids. Food is nice and fresh served at new bunglow. Bonfire exp was nice. Overall a real
It was located in the mid of a big coffee estate
We went there for relaxing. we didn\'t want any phonecalls or disturbance. So that is why th eplace was perfect for us(No mobile network). The welcome was great. It was located in the mid of a big coffee estate. They have totally 5 rooms. One old bungalow and one new bungalow. The rooms were great. The food and the service was excellent. The courtesy of the staff was superb. They arranged a camp fire and barbeque.
We were 4 of us and had been to this place in the month of May 2013There are 2 options here, one is new bungalow and one is Old British Bungalow. We stayed in Old British Bungalow. Compared to British Bungalow the new one is bit expensive. Overall experience w. as wonderful. Best ever Hospitality. Food was amazing with Mangalore style and Malnad style cuisine included. Shuttle badminton, Cycling in estate, Water falls( Water was not upto the level since we visited in the month of Non Rainy season). One of the good place to relax.
It was awesome. Food was excellent and ambience was too good and very relaxing. The best part is my husband never got calls because network signal is weak. This place is one place where in we can get out of the day to day hassles and relax with no one bothering you.
I stayed here in April 2012 and just loved this place. The whole bungalow is in the middle of a 300acre coffee plantation. The roads are good overall except the last 2kms and mobile network connectivity is nil. But these are very small negatives when considering the excellent bungalow, big rooms, tremendous atmosphere. Food is just decent. This place is ideal if you want to break free from a city clutter and enjoy a weekend in a serene place. All famous sight seeing places are far off so there is nothing much you can do there except a little trekking, boating in an artificial lake and a completely un-crowded natural waterfall.

STAAR Surgical Company (NASDAQ:STAA) is one of the stocks that are grabbing investor focus today: skyrocketing 4.02% or (1.48 points) to $38.3 from its previous close of $36.82. Does this growth mean it the best stock to buy right now? The shares seem to have an active trading volume day with a reported 219912 contracts so far this session. STAA shares had a relatively better volume day versus average trading capacity of 347.31 thousand shares, but with a 44.12 million float and a -2.36% run over a week, it's definitely worth keeping an eye on. The one year price forecast for STAA stock indicates that the average analyst price target is $49.75 per share. This means the stock has a potential increase of 29.9% from where the STAA share price has been trading recently which is between $36.1 and $37.09. There are some brokerage firms that offer lower targets than the average, with one of them, even setting their price target at $45. Flipping the other side of the coin, an analyst who is fully bullish set a price target as high as $56.
During the recent trading session for STAAR Surgical Company (NASDAQ:STAA), the company witnessed their stock rise $0.92 over a week and surge $2.03 from the price 20 days ago. When compared to their established 52-week high of $41.65, the high they recorded in their recent session happens to be lower. Their established 52-week high was attained by the company on 04/03/19. The recent low of $21.7 stood for a -8.04% since 03/05/19, a data which is good for most investors who are looking to take advantage of the stock's recent rise. A beta of 2.36 is also allocated to the stock. Since the beta is greater than one, it implies that the stock is more volatile than the market, a data that traders are keeping close attention to. At the moment, the median target price for STAA is set at $48, a figure which is above the recent 1-year high the stock witnessed.
Looking at the current readings for STAAR Surgical Company, the two-week RSI stands at 73.85. This figure suggests that STAA stock, for now, is oversold, meaning that the shares are not stable in terms of price movement. The stochastic readings, on the other hand, based on the current STAA readings is similarly very revealing as it has a stochastic reading of 66.58% at this stage. This figure means that STAA share price today is being neutral.
Technical chart claims that STAAR Surgical Company (STAA) would settle between $37.24/share to $37.66/share level. However, if the stock price goes below the $36.25 mark, then the market for STAAR Surgical Company becomes much weaker. If that happens, the stock price might even plunge as low as $35.68 for its downside target. The stock is currently in the green zone of MACD, with the indicator reading 0.05. Traders are always alerted for the move of a stock above or below the zero line due to the fact that the reading is an indicator of the position of the short-term average relative to the long-term average. If the MACD is above the zero line, then the short-term average relative is above that of the long-term average, thus implying an upward momentum. Vice versa is the case if the MACD is below the zero line.
Analysts at BTIG Research, assumed coverage of STAA assigning Buy rating, according to their opinion released on December 04. The Benchmark Company analysts again handed out a Buy recommendation to STAAR Surgical Company (NASDAQ:STAA) stock but they lifted target price for the shares in a flash note issued to investors on September 24. The target price has been raised from $45 to $54. Analysts at The Benchmark Company, made their first call for the equity with a Buy recommendation, according to a research note that dated back to August 06.
STAA equity has an average rating of 2.2, with the figure leaning towards a bullish end. 5 analysts who tracked the company were contacted by Reuters. Amongst them, 0 rated the stock as a hold while the remaining 5 were split even though not equally. Some analysts rate the stock as a buy or a strong buy while no rated it as a sell. 5 analysts rated STAAR Surgical Company (NASDAQ:STAA) as a buy or a strong buy while not a single analyst advised that investors should desist from purchasing the stock or sell them if they already own the company's stock.
Moving on, STAA stock price is currently trading at 148.47X forward 12-month Consensus EPS estimates, and its P/E ratio is 204.6 while for the average stock in the same group, the multiple is 55.2. STAAR Surgical Company current P/B ratio of 11 means it is trading at a premium against its industry's 4.1.

Hello Guys,
in couple of my previous posts I already talked about this software and how important it is,
I think this software deserves a post of its own.
I will be doing this anti malware software review, and of course I am talking about Malwarebytes
It's the best anti malware software that I know and basically its all that you need in this category, and the best part, its free.
They also have a paid upgraded version and we will talk about it as well and if you should or shouldn't get it. so lets's begin.
first things first.
What is a Malware ?
Malware is a short for "malicious software," its a term that describes any malicious program or code that is harmful to your computer or any other system for that matter.
Malware can sneak to your computer in many ways and all it does only nasty things inside.
Basically the ultimate intention of the creators of the malware is to make money,
they can steal your data and get your personal information like credit cards or bank details, or lock your files and ask for money to unlock them, like the ransomware,
or simply as using your computer and its processor power as a bot to mine cryptocurrency.
How you can get infected with malware ?
Well potentially anything you do on the internet can get you infected with malware,
the list is very long and it includes surfing in hacked websites, clicking on suspicious links, downloading music files that are infected, installing some unfamiliar software or toolbars, opening an email with malware attachment , or pretty much anything that you download or click on in the Internet can get you infected with malware.
Sounds scary right ? well to be straight here, usually if you surf on trusted and maintained sites, the risk of getting malware is reduced almost to 0, the admins scan everything and test all the files in their site, so most likely you will be fine, it can not be guaranteed 100% though, malware can hide also in legit apps and software and you won't even know about it until you infected.
Protecting yourself from malware
By now we established that no matter what you do on the internet, you can get infected with malware , and it can be very nasty thing to have, all your information stolen and sold, or even an identity theft .
So how to protect yourself?
Windows 10 comes with windows defender software and firewall that can be first layer of defense and stop some malware, but let me tell you guys, windows alone can not find and recognize all the malware that is being created DAILY , its just not enough, you have to have a designated software that can find and stop all the malware.
Here Malwarebytes come to the picture, its a very strong anti malware software, it finds and eliminates all malware up until this day, the developers of the software put themselves a goal to make a malware free user experience to everyone,
and they are doing a great job at it !
Check this video from the Malwarebytes developers:
About Malwarebytes
Malwarebytes is the best and strongest software out there to stop all of these malware threats , its lightweight , very easy to download and install, and very easy to use .
The software uses uses the latest technologies to find a stop all the new malware that get sophisticated every day, to bypass your firewall and to bypass your anti virus, Malwarebytes stops them all, and its not just my opinion, it was tested by experts in the field and they all say the same.
I myself using Malwarebytes for the past several years, and being a pretty advanced PC user, sometimes I find myself on some shady websites, maybe you do not do this, but if you do, and find yourself browsing in some suspicious website, you have to be protected,
it might be already too late and you are infected with malware.
that's why you always have to know that you have the latest and most recent protection and security.
Malwarebytes offers all of that protection and security.
Free or premium?
Malwarebytes is free to download and use.
Now with the free edition all you can do is scan your computer for threats and remove them,
Well you think isn't that exactly what I need ?
The answer is not simple, while yes you can use the free version and that what I was doing also for a long time, and you can run a daily scan on your PC.
Malwarebytes will find all the threats and eliminate them, and it'd doing an excellent job, it will find any threat and any malware no matter how much sophisticated it is.
The problem with that is, that it might be already to late, until you run the scan, the malware is already inside your PC and maybe its already steal your data, so it doesn't matter if you remove it now, its already did what id was supposed to do.
It gets worse with something like ransomware, if you don't have real time protection, ransomware will lock your computer and files instantly, and its already too late to do a scan and remove it, if you want your files back you need to pay to the attacker,
usually in bitcoin, to get back your files.
So while the free version is great, and you can start by downloading and using it daily,
see if you like it, and think seriously if you want to get the premium version ,
it might be better be safe than sorry, and its defiantly get you value for your money.
Also it contributes the developers of the software, so they can continue working and updating and developing this great piece of software, its truly what you only need in terms of protecting your computer from viruses and malware.
in the next section I will discuss a little what you will get from the premium edition.
What Malwarebytes does
Protects you from emerging threats –
Detects and removes malware in real-time with advanced anti-malware, anti-spyware, and anti-rootkit technology. Scans for the newest and most dangerous threats automatically, so you're protected without having to even think about it.
Crushes the latest scams –
Detects and blocks phishing scams used to steal your identity or hack your banking account. Stops cryptojacking (malicious cryptomining) software that hackers install on your computer to "mine" for cryptocurrency (bitcoin and others) without your knowledge.
Scans faster, scans smarter –
Lightning-fast Hyper Scan mode targets only the threats that are currently active. Faster analysis. Still gets results. Run a scan in the background while you download a video. It's done by the time you're ready to watch.
Protects your files from being locked and held for ransom –
Stops unknown and known ransomware with proprietary technology that works proactively to shield your files. This is a powerful, complete defense that blocks ransomware, and not a simple decryption tool.
Protects you from fake and infected websites –
Detects and prevents contact with websites used by scammers and malicious links. You are proactively protected from downloading malware, hacking attempts, and infected advertising. Worried about wandering into a "bad" Internet neighborhood? Now you don't have to be.
The price of premium Malwarebytes subscription is 39.99$ for one year
and 69.98$ for a two years subscription.
You can pay in several different ways, including PayPal. unfortunately payment with cryptocurrency is not available ( that's my favorite way of payment).
You might think its a little pricey , but let me be completely honest here , its well worth it, again its better be safe than sorry,
just think if your files were to be locked by ransomware, the attacker usually ask something like starting from 150$ up to 400$ to release your data, and if you will not pay, you will lose all of your files and data, and of course time, by restoring everything back.
so if Malwarebytes can prevent this even 1 ransomware attack its already worth tit.
I subscribed to the premium edition myself, not only because its excellent protection, but also because I just love this software, been using it for years, and its also a good way to give back to the developers that doing excellent job.
Final Overview
Malwarebytes is must software in every computer and device, just like a VPN, no matter who are you and what you doing, you have to have this layer of protection from Malware that is everywhere today.
Get the free version, scan your computer daily, and if you like it, think about getting the subscription for a strong real time protection.
Download : Malwarebytes ( free, subscription available )
That's it for tor today guys, stay safe.
If you have any questions or comment just leave them below, and I will be happy to answer anything.
Best Regards ,

About this book
The purpose of this book is to provide the reader with a series of work ed examples in X -ray spectrometry and X -ray diffractometry, in such a way that each example can be treated either as a posed question, i. e. one to which the reader must himself provide an answer, or as a guide to the method of treating a similar problem. The latter, of course, also pro vides a check on the answer produced by the reader. Although much basic theory can be derived by study of this work the first intention of the book is not to provide a source of basic theoretical knowledge in X -ray analy sis. It is hoped that the book will be utilized more as a guide line in the tackling of theoretical and practical problems and as a means of estab lishing whether or not the reader is able to work out for himself a certain type of problem. For example, the series of examples on counting statis tics has been chosen in such a way that after working through and under standing these, the reader should be able to handle most of the calculations that he is likely to come up against in this area.

CMM Custom Homesへのレビュー (30)

In 2016 my husband and I found ourselves in what we like to call our "sweet spot"-old enough to be empty nesters but still young enough to enjoy an active lifestyle. We came upon a rare empty lot 2 blocks from the ocean in Bradley Beach NJ. We knew it would be a fun place to live that our children and grandchildren would enjoy visiting. The idea of starting from scratch was a little overwhelming. We researched and interviewed contractors and architects in the area, and I started bookmarking pictures of houses I liked on my Houzz app so I could communicate my ideas to potential builders. I noticed that several of the houses I was saving to my ideabooks were built by the same builder, CMM, from nearby Avon by the Sea. We met with Chris Amato and he demonstrated how he could help us design, and eventually build,a custom home using computer imaging to help us visualize all the details of the project every step of the way. A tour of CMM houses in the area sealed the deal and we knew we had found our builder. CMM built us exactly what we asked for: a beautiful, understated yet special home that fits well into the neighborhood. Mark and James managed the project with skill and professionalism. Erik Mehr of EKD meticulously designed a stunning kitchen that maximized the small space. As the house evolved I would show Chris pictures of special features or details I liked and without fail they were able to build it- often improving on the original concept. It was exciting to see our plans and selections being implemented and the house began to feel like home long before move-in day. In addition to building our new custom home, CMM renovated an old guest house on our property. The two aspects of our project required numerous decisions and inevitably there were stresses and unexpected hiccups that arose along the way. The CMM team was always available to answer our questions and abate the occasional freak-out. By the end of the project we were confident that any issue or problem,no matter how complex it seemed to us, would be adeptly resolved. We would without hesitation recommend CMM. They built us a home that is perfect for us and will surely be a source of pride and happiness for years to come.
In 2014, after designing a contemporary-modern home overlooking the bay and ocean, doing the various civil, septic, and structural engineering work, and getting planning board approvals, it was time to build the home. After compiling a list and criteria for ten other builders, we interviewed Chris Amato and met with members of his team. Never having built a home before, we were expectedly nervous about the undertaking, but Chris relaxed us with his calm, friendly demeanor and vast knowledge of building methods and materials. After comparing all the facts and most importantly, the personal connection we had with Chris and his team, we decided to use CMM for the build. We broke ground in 2016. Chris is very particular about the subcontractors he uses, and this is very important to ensure that the work is done correctly and safely. The sub-contractors were very good to work with: framers, electrician, plumber, siders, flooring people, and landscaper. Kudos to Chris's own staff of carpenters who did a fabulous job with all the interior woodwork: trim, doors, as well as a beautiful, hand made front door. For the interior design, we had a specific notion of a warm, beach contemporary. Chris's in-house design person took the time to get to know us personally, listened, and was able to help us achieve the look and feel that we wanted. Also, a special note of appreciation to Erik of EKD Kitchen Design who did an absolutely phenomenal job of capturing our intention for the kitchen. The project took a bit longer than expected as the area was still reeling from post-Sandy building boom. But we would rather the construction be done correctly by trusted people to have the work done properly at a very high level of quality. In sum, this was a very difficult project executed flawlessly by Chris and the great team at CMM. We love our new home built by CMM!
In 2011 we decided we wanted to move to the Jersey shore. We looked around in many towns. We looked at old homes to knock down, new homes just built, and older homes just renovated. We kept on coming back to Avon-by-the-Sea and finally found our dream spot, an oversized lot with an older home on it that we could knock down. The lot was big enough for everything we wanted and now we needed to find a great builder to make our dreams come true. Our first call just happened to go to CMM Custom Homes and Chris Amato picked up the phone. Chris quickly met with us and showed us homes that he was currently building and explained everything we needed to do in order to build a new home. We felt extremely comfortable with Chris and from that first meeting we felt a strong relationship starting. We interviewed a few other builders but there was no match to how we felt with Chris and CMM Custom Homes. It took us several years to actually start the process and Chris stayed with us the whole time, giving us advice and showing us what could be done. We picked an architect from a list recommended from Chris and started the design process. Chris actually attended all the meetings and gave valuable advice during this process. Our architect, Mike Mellilo, was great, and he worked very well with us to design our home. With years of anticipation we broke ground in April 2015. The excitement kept building up as we went through the build process. Chris and the CMM personnel were all as professional as could be as everyone tried to meet all of our expectations. Chris made sure that every detail, no matter how small, was exactly what we wanted. We took our time and made sure we were happy with every selection. In the end, we had our dream home to our exact requirements. I would say we were at times a pretty difficult customer, but CMM never once gave us a hard time. They worked with us until everything was just perfect. I assume many builders can build a great house but few can create an experience that is fun and exciting and also meet 100% of what you wanted. CMM Custom Homes did that and more, they built a wonderful relationship. We are in our home and loving it and we have CMM Custom Homes to thank.
After purchasing property in Spring Lake and meeting Paul Amato through our realtor, we visited homes built by CMM and were very impressed with the design and workmanship of the homes and CMM's rapport with each homeowner. When we met with Chris Amato and his team to discuss design and a timeline, it was apparent how passionate and collaborative they were. CMM provided us with helpful recommendations for design based on our style and their expertise. Once we completed the design and permit phases, their team provided excellent customer service, led by James Queck, the construction manager. James is very knowledgeable, responsive, extremely helpful and always available when needed. During construction, CMM worked seamlessly with their sub-contractors providing excellent workmanship and patiently addressing any issues we raised. CMM also provided a decorator, Liz O'Brien, who understood our style and was patient and helpful with difficult decisions regarding the plethora of interior design selections. CMM made suggestions and guided us to ensure we adhered to our budget and timeline. Chris Amato and the CMM team provided us with high quality construction, and were very professional, meticulous, accessible, and clearly experienced in every aspect of constructing a home. They met the construction schedule and continue to provide excellent and prompt service with any issues raised subsequent to receiving our CO. Their own punch list was extremely detailed exemplifying their high quality standards, and their follow-up has been prompt and thorough. They treat us as part of the family, which is something we place a high value on, and are a pleasure to work with.
In 2014, we purchased a property in Toms River, NJ with the intention of building a primary home to raise our young family in. The lot is positioned adjacent to the Toms River Country Club with views of the golf course and river. In choosing a builder, it was important to us that we connected with the owner of the company and sensed that they shared our vision of what we wanted to create there. It also meant that we were leaning towards a design-build project, so that the builder could see it through with us from start to finish. It was evident from our first meeting at the property that CMM's owner, Chris Amato, had a real passion for building homes. We could also tell that Chris had a natural talent for working collaboratively with people. When making our final choice, we found ourselves always comparing alternative options against the quality of CMM clients' homes and the experience of working with their team. CMM really had everything we were looking for and it was an easy decision. During the design process, we came to some important layout decisions and Chris knew we needed help to make them. He suggested that we use a drone to take high-definition video from alternative locations for the 2nd floor master bedroom suite and the proposed window locations. This was an excellent way to visualize the space and views, and was also an amazing experience for us. This is just one example of the kind of teamwork, ingenuity, and dedication that CMM showed throughout the design and build process. During the construction process we worked with James Queck, who managed all of the construction at the site. James is incredibly knowledgeable about every aspect of building a home and he has uncompromising quality standards. He would patiently answer all our questions and somehow always seemed to know when to pick up the phone, or meet us at the site, to make decisions about finish details that he sensed would be important to us. And when it comes to details, CMM has superb finish carpenters on their team, like Rick Howey, who produced some of the most impressive custom millwork we have ever seen. We are so happy with how the project went and our home turned out gorgeous. We are often asked who built our home, and we always proudly tell our friends about CMM.
Upon the purchase of our land in Avon-by-the-Sea, New Jersey, my husband and I did our due diligence and interviewed three contractors to build our home. Shortly after the completion of our meeting with Chris Amato from CMM Custom Homes, we were fairly certain his company would be building our home. During that meeting, Chris explained the detailed process of planning, designing and building his company uses to keep the project on schedule. I felt confident that Chris and his team would patiently guide me through this process. Considering our primary residence is two hours north of Avon, we would not be around to supervise the project and this made the concept of building our beach house daunting. As the weeks went by and the planning began, our relationship with CMM blossomed into the fond relationship it is today. Each meeting with Chris and his team was enjoyable, productive and stress free. Our meetings evolved from brainstorming, likes and dislikes and wish lists to a full drawn plan. Chris has a keen sense of truly listening to his customer and meeting their needs. His knowledge of the business and home building is unstoppable. Each employee in the CMM office was instrumental in our project bringing with them knowledge, professionalism, experience and patience. Chris and his team made my dream beach house a reality with their vision and meticulous attention to detail. They quickly learned our style and incorporated that into our home. What I thought was going to be a stressful, exhausting project was actually fun. Now that our home is complete, we have a beautiful beach house to share with our friends and family and also gained another family with the folks at CMM Custom Homes. CMM has met and far exceeded our expectations and we would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Liz and Jeff W.
It is so hard to figure out where to begin to talk about my experience with CMM. It started with finding the most beautiful home on my block and asking the owners who had built their home. That was the start of something awesome. When I first met with Chris Amato and his staff it was obvious to me that these were folks (a team) who really cared about building you your dream home, no matter how large or small. Every step of the way there was some member of the staff to help and guide me. In doing so they enabled me to feel like I had been an integral part of the process. They heard me out on my ideas but were not afraid to redirect me when I was going the wrong way. They were always right. In the end they handed me the keys to not only my dream home, but a home that I could never imagine would be so perfect. My goal was to build a home in which I would be comfortable by myself but, more importantly, where my very large family would be comfortable in visiting. CMM did the impossible. My home is warm and intimate while at the same time being the perfect place for my whole family to gather. The kitchen is often the gathering area where we all share stories while cooking up a great Italian meal. The third floor (which I did not think I would even have) has become a haven for the kids; a place where they can all hang out (it sleeps 10) without bothering the adults. I could go on and on but suffice it to say that there is not one single thing I would change about this home. Mine is a second home but I will admit that it is very hard for me to leave each time I return to my other home. Chris and his team were and are family to me. I am confident going forward that they will continue to be there for me. I cannot recommend them highly enough or often enough. I am truly blessed to have found them and to get to live in a CMM home.
CMM worked with us to renovate our beach house. The project included adding a new bathroom, gutting and remodeling an existing bathroom and kitchen, remodeling a converted porch, laying all new hardwood flooring, a complete rewire of the entire house, painting and general carpentry work. We were very happy with the quality of the work. They did an especially nice job vaulting the ceilings and adding bead board and vintage beams in the new porch and kitchen. Chris Amato offered several design ideas that were really helpful (one example was to close off one door of a Jack and Jill bath to create a master suite). CMM recommended we work with Erik's Kitchen Design in Avon for the kitchen design. We were also very pleased with Erik Mehr's work, and the project management between CMM and Erik was seamless. The entire CMM team was extremely professional, worked really well together and helped us navigate the process. There was always someone in the office to take our calls. We found the budgeting process to be very accurate and the final numbers were where we expected to be. When things didn't go as planned (as always happens with construction) we felt they worked with us to resolve the issues fairly and promptly, and we were always happy with the end result. We definitely recommend CMM and would hire them again.
N2 Architecture has had the pleasure to collaborate on several projects with CMM. The entire staff has been great to work with and they all keep the clients best interest in mind during the entire process. We look forward to working with them in the future and would highly recommend them if you are looking for a quality home builder.
CMM Construction has high standards which we were privileged to see from the planning phase to acquiring the final CO. When we first met Chris Amato we told him that we loved our home in Glen Rock and would gladly pick it up and relocate it to our Spring Lake property, if possible. Chris and his Dad went the extra mile and visited that home to see what features we wanted to replicate and which we wanted to upgrade. Once we contracted with them we had weekly office visits with Chris, Liz Widdis, and various other members of his team to discuss the design, scope, and details of the project. They all made the process clear, organized, and enjoyable. Each decision was entered into "Co Construct", a software program which was a wonderful way to not only record our choices, but also to communicate throughout the process. Once construction began, communication continued to be wonderful. James Queck, who was assigned to oversee our project, made sure every detail was done to perfection and that we were satisfied with each outcome. When the CO was obtained we thought that would be the end of our relationship, but CMM has stayed in touch to make sure everything functioned properly. We could not be happier with our new home and would highly recommend CMM Construction.
CMM personnel are very thorough and pay attention to details. Requests are responded to in a very quick manner. The quality of their work is excellent, and we do not hesitate to recommend them.
Paul Amato, of CMM Construction in Avon-by-the-Sea, NJ built our first custom home in Spring Lake Heights 30 years ago and we have loved it ever since. Now, three decades later, we wanted to build again to reflect our family's changing needs. The clear choice for our builder was Chris Amato of CMM, who carries on the tradition of excellence in building custom homes from his father, Paul. The entire team made certain that no detail was overlooked and everything was done to our complete satisfaction. Without exception, the team, vendors, and all trusted partners worked seamlessly to ensure that our home would exceed our expectations. James Queck, our project manager, always kept us informed and updated of all activity and the company's use of innovative software (Co-Construct) allowed all parties to communicate clearly and effectively regarding progress, changes, billing, and all activity of our home. CMM's reputation is well deserved and we would recommend them for anyone who plans to build an exceptional custom home.

The Wall Street Journal reported that The House of Representatives approved the first of three resolutions Wednesday aimed at blocking lucrative arms sales to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, joining the Senate in disapproval of the weapons deals and setting up a likely presidential veto.
Fueled largely by bipartisan concern over Saudi Arabia's protracted war in Yemen and the brutal killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi by a Saudi hit team in Turkey last year, Congress moved to block the U.S. from fast-tracking sales of precision-guided missiles.
There is no material impact on the FX space here, but it is worth noting amid mounting tensions with Iran if which risk currencies and oil come into focus.

31-year-old female with metabolic bone disease who sustained a displaced right femoral neck fracture and a left femoral neck stress fracture after a low-energy fall. Initial surgery included ORIF with a sliding hip screw construct on the right side and placement of a prophylactic sliding hip screw on the left side to prevent fracture completion and displacement. She presented 6 months later with a left sided deep infection, nonunion of her stress fracture and persistent pain.
Stage 1: The sliding hip screw was removed from the left femur and multiple meticulous excisional debridements were performed. 20cc of STIMULAN paste was injected into the proximal femur bone void. Bacterial cultures revealed Propionibacterium Acnes. Antibiotic treatment was administered based on the sensitivities of the organism and I.V. antibiotics were administered for 6 weeks following surgery.
Stage 2: At 6 weeks, autologous bone graft and 10cc of STIMULAN paste were placed at the femoral neck nonunion site. Internal fixation was performed with a blade plate device.
6 weeks after stage 1 treatment, the patient was free from infection with complete absorption of STIMULAN paste. 4 months after stage 2 treatment, the nonunion site appeared to be healed with no hardware failure and complete absorption of STIMULAN. Imaging at 1 year after stage 2 treatment confirmed consolidation at the nonunion site and stable hardware.
The patient developed heterotopic ossification in her vastus lateralis due to multiple debridement surgeries to treat her infection and extensile distal dissection required to place the blade plate. The heterotopic ossification was asymptomatic and did not require further treatment. At 2 years, the patient is ambulating without an assisted device and remains infection and pain free.
Note: See STIMULAN page for regulatory statements.

In today's fast-paced and competitive business world, any edge you have over your competitors in sales or service can make the difference in whether you gain or lose a sale. Automated touch-tone customer help systems used to be the norm, but times are changing. The ability for a customer to chat with a live person through a website is a standout feature for improving customer relationships.
The following are a few simple tips to help make the live chat you offer your customers rewarding and beneficial for everyone involved.
Create a warm, welcoming, and personalized atmosphere for your customers. The welcome message sent to customers to initiate chat should be professional and friendly, with an appealing tone. Keep in mind that nobody really likes the pushy salesman type.
Your chat window should pop up only once. If a customer does not respond immediately, you should not send a message again. However, be certain to keep yourself or your support staff available should the customer require assistance.
Active Listening
It is a good idea to encourage feedback from the customer and learn how the visitor found your site. Remember, you are not a bot, so reading or typing from a script will not enhance the customer experience in a live chat.
Great customer service is not necessarily achieved by providing great responses. Listening to the customer and understanding what is being stated is often more important than an immediate response. Showing empathy and concern will also make the customer feel comfortable.
Keep It Simple
Your customers won't be able to initiate chat support if they can't find it. Customers want to have immediate access to a real person if a question arises during their shopping experiences, so live chat buttons should always be displayed prominently on your website.
Going Offline
Web chat is generally utilized by the younger generation, so be aware of generational differences. Some customers may not be as used to chat as others.
If you run into a situation that is too complex to handle via chat, don't be afraid to move your conversation to a different medium. Simply ask the customer if she would like to switch the conversation to a phone call.
Security issues are another reason to go offline with customers. For example, personal information, account details, or credit card numbers should never be shared on a live chat platform. Give the customer the chance to provide any security-sensitive information over the phone or with a secured web form.
With live help you can transform your website from a place where people go to learn about you, to a place where you build strong customer relationships with each and every visitor, and convert those relationships into sales. These days, if you're not using one of these services for your online store, it is possible you are missing out on valuable sales opportunities. Offering customers chat services will not only make them happy customers, but it will also improve customer relationships while creating loyalty and repeat business.

After winning their first point of the season, Boavista FC player Christopher thought that "it's good to take one point, because the game, our situation, was bad. It's still not good but it's still the first point, so you have to look always positive".
He also said that the team was "not satisfied with the second game, because I think we could've managed better the second game".
Boavista FC also expressed that they are hopeful to make it to the next round: "I think (that) we have time to maybe qualify for the first places. If that's not the case, we have time to qualify to the Last Chance Group. I'm still confident".
Lotfi: "It was not a good result for us. We came here to win, we didn't expect this. We did a terrible first game. It was not our game."
As for the other team of the first match, AS Monaco, when asked if the team is satisfied with the results, Lotfi said: "No, it was not a good result for us. We came here to win, we didn't expect this. We did a terrible first game. It was not our game".
He also said that the team needs "to work more for the next matchday. We need to do a better first game to win those 3 points."
The French players believe that they "need to, at the beginning of the first match, be focused on our game and we need to be better because we can."

When to Call in the Foundation Repair Service Providers
The idea that your floors and walls might one day start cracking does not sit well with all homeowners. They have invested a lot in those houses, and would like to keep them that way. To fix such issues requires quite a bit of money and time. These openings also pose the danger of allowing animals and insects into the house. Most of the cracks on the floor and walls are due to foundation damage. As soon as you see these signs, you need to call in the experts. If you don't, the situation might escalate.
Reasons why the foundation may get damaged are many and diverse. Settlement, frost, and expansive soil can be some of them. It is not wise to proceed with the repairs before the cause is addressed. They will first do an inspection to find out what the cause of the damage was. For that, you need the services of an experienced foundation repair company. Such inspections are ideally free of charge. There are however cases where they may charge a small fee for it, due to extra equipment or expertise needed. The inspection shall give the results they can base their estimates on.
The kind of products the repair company comes with onsite needs to be the right kind, if they are to do a good job of it. Such predicts usually come with warranties as a sign of quality. This also ensures that future problems shall be adequately addressed.
The level of expertise of the service personnel determines what kind of work shall be done when they arrive. They should understand the intricacies of foundation repair. This shall serve as a guide into what kind of repair strategy to apply in your situation. This can be found out when you ask them how long they have been doing such repair work.
The time frame such repair work takes also needs to be within reasons. You need to be clear on this before you commit to any contract they might draw up. There are some foundation issues that may take longer to get fixed. But if you chose a company that has skilled and licensed contractors, they shall do the job within the necessary time frame. You shall thus resume your normal routines faster that way.
They should not be short on ideas of how to fix whatever foundation problem you end up with. They need to know what to do with uneven floors, bowing walls, wall cracks, and many other scenarios. If you notice a chimney tilting, jammed doors and windows, you can deduce that the foundation is damaged. A contractor that can address such issues is good for the job they have been contracted for. They should end up increasing the value of your house through the repairs.

POP star Gary Barlow and his wife are mourning the loss of their baby daughter.
In a statement issued through his agent, the couple said their baby, Poppy, was delivered stillborn in London on Saturday.
Barlow's wife Dawn was eight months pregnant. On July 5, Barlow tweeted that Poppy was due to be born in seven weeks' time.
In last night's statement, Barlow said: "Dawn and I are devastated to announce that we've lost our baby. Poppy Barlow was delivered stillborn on August 4 in London.
"Our focus now is giving her a beautiful funeral and loving our three children with all our hearts. We'd ask at this painful time that our privacy be respected."
The 41-year-old singer had previously spoken about how he was looking forward to becoming a father for the fourth time with his wife, a 42-year-old dancer.
Speaking at the time, he told fans: "We are a very excited family."
The Take That star and X-Factor judge announced in February that his wife was expecting another child.
In April, Barlow, already a father to Daniel, Emily and Daisy, wrote on Twitter: "There's gonna be another girl in the Barlow household!"
He was recently asked by a fan on the website how Dawn was, and replied: "gr8 tanx, 7 weeks to go."
In June he was crowned celebrity dad of the year.
Friends and colleagues of the singer expressed their condolences to the Barlow family on Twitter.
Fellow X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos wrote: "My thoughts & prayers are with @GBarlowOfficial and wife dawn tonight. Heartbreaking x."
Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote: "Dearest Dawn & Gary, Madeleine & I are devastated about news of Poppy. Our thoughts & prayers are with you and your family. @GBarlowOfficial."
A message from boy band JLS, who found fame on X Factor, read: "We send our condolences to @GBarlowOfficial and his family during this tough time..our thoughts and prayers with you..Marv and the boys x"
Amelia Lily, who appeared on last year's series - Barlow's first as a judge - wrote: "Sending all my love out to @GBarlowOfficial and family xxx".
Una Healy from girl group The Saturdays, who recently became a mother for the first time, wrote: "My thoughts and prayers go out to @GBarlowOfficial and his wife and family such sad news RIP Poppy x."
The announcement has cast doubt on whether Barlow will appear at Sunday's Olympics closing ceremony.
The singer has been widely tipped to play the show with his Take That bandmates and a final decision is expected later this week.

Are You A Candidate For Coolsculpting?
CoolSculpting is an amazing new technology that helps reduce fat. This procedure is FDA-approved and does not involve surgery. It is an excellent choice for those who just want to reduce fat in specific areas without invasive surgery. CoolSculpting is done by "freezing" fat cells in a desired area and works best on love handles, the abdomen, the back and thighs.
How does this work?
It is important to know that CoolSculpting is not for those interested in weight loss. It will not help you lose weight. It essentially freezes the fat cells in the area, causes them to die, and then the lymphatic system in your body also kicks in to rid the fat cells in that area. The number of fat cells is decreased, meaning that over time, the area thins out its fat layer.
When a person gains or loses weight, they are not actually gaining or losing actual fat cells. The number of fat cells stays the same. Therefore, when weight is gained, the fat cells that exist just get bigger. When weight is lost, the fat cells that exist get smaller. However, the same fat cells are still there. CoolSculpting is different because it actually reduces the number of fat cells.
Who is a great candidate for this procedure?
CoolSculpting isn't for everyone. The first thing to do when considering this procedure is to seek a professional opinion. For instance, you could go to Forever Young Laser & Skincare Clinic for a consultation. Your doctor will assist you in determining whether or not this is the right procedure for you. Since CoolSculpting is a spot procedure and not a weight loss procedure, ideal candidates will be a healthy weight and will participate in a healthy lifestyle. Even people who eat well and exercise end up with stubborn fat pockets.
Ideal candidates will have healthy skin with pliable fat and/or visible pockets of fat that are difficult to remove with diet and exercise.
Who is not a good candidate for this procedure?
Sound too good to be true? Well, it might be for some people. If you have a type of disorder that makes you or your blood sensitive to the cold, like cryoglobulinemia or PCH, this treatment is not appropriate. If you have any type of auto-immune disorder that causes you to have excessive pain or if you experience chronic pain, this treatment is also not recommend. A person with any type of disease that affects the lymphatic system should also avoid CoolSculpting, as it relies greatly on the lymphatic system to work.
People who are obese and have a high BMI should not get this procedure done, as it is not meant for weight loss. Women who are pregnant and people with compromised immune systems are also not good candidates, as not enough testing has done to prove that it is safe for those conditions yet.
Walking after the procedure assists in optimizing the results. Walking increases circulation, which in turn helps the lymphatic system. While diet and exercise are not vital for the success of this treatment, those who are unable to walk a mile each day are not good candidates.
Finally, those who have no pockets of fat, unhealthy skin, lax skin or non-pliable skin are likely not going to benefit from this procedure. Consult a physician to make the final determination on whether they think you are healthy enough for this procedure, and then find your local CoolSculpting facility for an evaluation.
