Bass Pro Shops
I needed a new pair of hiking boots. The soles of my old set had literally started to flap loose. I was beginning to look like Charlie Chaplin's Tramp. Before getting the boots, I decided to get a sketch of the large fish tank in the middle of the huge Bass Pro Shops warehouse store. Bobcats, deer and bears roamed above in a taxidermy diorama. Water cascaded down the false rocks into the tank. Behind me, rows of guns were for sale, but I'm not in the marked for an assault rifle.
While working on the sketch, a friend from Boston called whose back had seized up, making it impossible to get out of bed. Someone had to go over and help with getting dressed. It was apparently an awkward scene. Being on my own, the thought of not getting out of bed and staring at the ceiling was a rather terrifying thought. On the other hand, I was in the middle of the sketch and wanted to get back to it. I listened, but kept my hands active. That evening I sent several get well presents. My friend made a full recovery.
I found the boots I needed and went to the register. My credit card didn't work. I asked the cashier to try a second time. I had to leave bootless. That evening I was contacted by my bank. My identity had been stolen and someone had tried to make purchases with my card out of state. The bank had canceled my card. Thankfully the incident didn't cost me any money, but it was a major inconvenience. This was the second time my identity has been stolen. Last year someone filed a tax return in my name and got a refund. In this digital age identity fraud seems to run rampant. I have turned to using cash,which is a solid, old school analog way to make a purchase.
Prints are available for each sketch for $250 and many originals can be purchased for $400. White museum grade shadow box frames are $100 more. You can e-mail Thor at firstname.lastname@example.com

Sony unveil redesigned PlayStation Store in the US
Sony offers up completely redesigned PlayStation Store in North America
By: Anthony Garreffa from Nov 4, 2012 @ 5:27 CST
Sony's PlayStation 3 is getting a bit old in the tooth now, but the Japanese company have just unveiled a completely redesigned PlayStation store that has gone live in North America.
Finding, and navigating on the new PlayStation Store with its flashy new UI is much easier than previous iterations of the PlayStation Store. The updated Store has new releases displayed prominently with prices, thankfully no longer hidden away under a bunch of icons.
It looks much cleaner, fresher, is faster to load and searching is far better than previous Stores. The video above will give you a good idea of what to expect.

I am Tiffany, a native Virginian and I have been in love with taking pictures since I was little. I still relish getting to play with my old 220 camera and my stepfather's 35mm.
These days I work primarily with a Nikon D5000 and a variety of lenses. I also have a Nikon D50 and will likely be upgrading that camera later this year.
Your memories, are just that… your memories. I will work with your prior to our shoots to make sure I have a clear understanding of your desires.
I also believe that photography as well as the human body are works of art. I do my best work in shoots that are non-traditional and more outgoing.
We've all sat through those torturous sessions as a child when our parents made us do family portraits. I don't want to be known for that kind of work.
I specialize in on locatio and at home photo shoots. I plan to offer studio based photo shoots in the future.

Claims of Obama Proofers Go 'Poof'
Barack Obama is ineligible to become president of the United States because he is not a "natural born citizen" according to the Constitution, having been born not in Hawaii, but in Mombassa, Kenya. Or perhaps, according to a developing theory in some circles, in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Or maybe Obama was born in Hawaii, but he is ineligible because his mother wasn't old enough to pass along citizenship to her offspring. Or perhaps the fact that his father was a foreign national holding Kenyan and British citizenships that he conferred to the future president-elect means these citizenships negated his "natural born citizen" status in the United States.
Or maybe Barack Hussein Obama Jr. was born a "natural born citizen," but he lost his citizenship when his mother remarried Lolo Soetoro and they moved to Jakarta, Indonesia, which does not allow dual citizenship.
Am I missing anything?
In various courts, dozens of cases have been filed claiming that Barack Obama is not eligible to hold the presidency because of various alleged citizenship issues. The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday turned down a request to review one such case. Another case challenging Obama's eligibility nearly identical to the first was immediately added to the Court's docket for December 12, and yet another case looms in the wings.
What all these cases have in common is a sincere, often irrational belief that Barack Obama does not meet the Constitution's minimal requirements to become president of the United States. Let's look at those requirements and see if we can lay these to rest.
Article II, Section 1
No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of president; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.
Those are the only restrictions in the Constitution; everything else is statutory and easily changed in Congress by merely writing a new law.
Now, let's look at the individual claims and see how they fare against the Constitution.

Case Study: Rogers' Choclates
Strategic Management
Rogers' Chocolates is the oldest chocolate company in Canada based in Victoria, British Columbia. Rogers' Chocolates focuses on the premium chocolate market and differentiates itself by delivering award winning quality products at a fair price; this combination creates a good value for its customers. They also have expertise at creating an outstanding customer experience within their Victorian themed retail locations that have also won awards. The company is privately held and currently focuses its business in four market areas, direct retail , online/mail order , wholesale, and sales from a restaurant in Victoria. The company also produces and sells a line of premium ice cream. The company employes 130 people, the majority of which are in retail. Sales from the company's retail establishments account for 50% of revenue. Production takes place on a one-shift operation in a 24,000 square foot facility and is labor intensive. There are currently no measurements in gauge productivity and efficiency in the plant. The past president focused a growth strategy in the wholesale market and current order fulfillment strategy is to give priority to online and mail-order business, followed by wholesale accounts, leaving the retail locations last to be serviced internally. Sales have seasonal swells during the holidays and demand forecasting has been an issue; they have increased inventory to deal with these sales patterns but still encounter out of stock situations. The new president has been given a goal by the board of directors to double or triple the size of the company within 10 years. PROBLEM STATEMENT
The focus on the wholesale market does not inline with the strengths of the company. Furthermore, the issues in operational efficiency with regard to production capabilities and demand forecasting are hindering the company from increased growth potential. ALTERNATIVES
Focus on strengthening...

Hydrophobia is putting a new twist on survival games by placing a big emphasis on the use of water. Usually such games rely on you defending against an enemy with an ever-limited supply of ammo. In Hydrophobia your worst enemy is water.
Thankfully, developer Dark Energy Digital has managed to create some of the best water effects ever seen in a game, and the latest video above shows them off well. The game is powered by the HydroEngine, which realistically models the behaviour of water. Features include:
- Water flows realistically
- Objects are carried realistically by it
- Surfaces and characters can become wet
- Eddies and undercurrents can occur
- Dynamic spray and splash creation
- Surface foam and infinite underwater particles follow the flow
- Dynamic caustic lights allow for wall and floor shimmer
- Water pressure effects – buckling doors, windows, and walls
In the game you play as Kate Wilson, a security engineer trapped on board a massive ship called the Queen of the World. The ship gets attacked and you need to escape while defending against, "an army of Neo-Malthusian terrorists".
Expect to get very wet when the game is released exclusively on Xbox Live Arcade

Outstanding Job Vanessa!
The Retail Outsource is proud of all of our great associates across the 44 states we serve but want to highlight another exemplary employee. Thank you Vanessa for embodying the TRO brand and providing exceptional customer service.
This [email] is in reference to my store experience in Jefferson, GA Sunday, December 4th. On Saturday I was flipping through the Tiger Direct sales flyer, when I ran across an ad for the AT&T Momentum for $19.99. I have been trying to eliminate my landline for awhile now and since I am not located in the AT&T area, it was impossible for me to do. I called Tiger Direct to get more information on this item and was transferred to Vanessa. She was very thorough and provided me with all the information I needed. She also recommended the AT&T Elevate which would work on up to 5 devices instead of the Momentum, which was for one. She was very patient and kind. I told her that I would stop by on Sunday after church and she was very accommodating in person as well. I already had five lines on my AT&T account and she worked with customer service to get the 6th line for the Elevate added on.
I would like thank her for her patience, kindness and professional manner. I would and have recommended Tiger Direct to friends and family, and look forward to continued business.
Thanks Vanessa!!! Outstanding job!!!
Very Satisfied Customer

SAP Business One reseller recreates SAP Website look and feel
The executives and staff at 5th Gear Solutions, a value added reseller (VAR) of Business One software, have gotten a little clever.
The consultancy, which caters to manufacturers, recently signed on to sell Business One Fourth Shift Edition, as an expansion of its software business. David Payne, who is president of 5th Gear, also runs Advanced Systems Integration, a reseller of Microsoft Dynamics AX software.
Payne and his staff recreated the look and feel of SAP's Website for 5th Gear. The navigation page, links, etc. are all similar. Even the SAP logo is used at the bottom right hand corner of the page.
Jeff Onesto, a business development executive at 5th Gear, said the site went live about two weeks ago.
"The idea is to take advantage of the ecosystem," Onesto said. "SAP has created a lot of amazing processes, so why recreate the wheel?"

Let's Talk – Coventry Homefinder Policy
As you may be aware, Coventry City Council has been undertaking a fundamental review of the current Coventry Homefinder Policy. Since June 2019, we have been consulting with the Housing Associations to enable us to develop a set of proposed changes.
Whilst the Council no longer owns any housing itself, it is legally required to have a scheme that allocates social housing. In Coventry, this policy is called the Coventry Homefinder Policy. We are proposing to make some major changes to the current policy, which could potentially affect all current and future applicants to the housing register. The consultation survey closed on Friday 3rd January 2020.
All consultation feedback is currently being reviewed and any necessary changes to the draft policy will be made. The revised Coventry Homefinder Policy will then be presented to the Council's Cabinet in early 2020 for approval.
Applications to the register and priority banding applications are still being accepted. Current Homefinder applicants can continue to bid for housing.
The implementation of the revised policy is expected to be no later than Autumn 2020. The Coventry Homefinder - Let's Talk page will be updated as the review progresses
LETTINGS PLAN - Collier Place, Woodway Lane, Coventry, CV2 2ND and Bonneville Place, Thimbler Road, Coventry, CV4 8FN - 2 bedroom flats and 2 bedroom bungalows.
Click here for more details.
Coventry Homefinder now have a new on-line tool for you to apply for a priority band. To apply click here
Please be aware that we currently have a backlog of assessments, where all of the requested documentation has been received, which is currently 6 weeks behind. We apologise for this delay in assessing any requested priority banding and assure you that all assessments will be complete as soon as possible. We thank you for your patience at this time.
If you are in a priority band, you will have received a letter explaining any changes to your application. This will also show your 'effective date' - the date that you applied for priority banding. This will be used to prioritise shortlists and ensure that households who have been in housing need for the longest get prioritised first.
On the 3rd April 2018 the Homelessness Reduction Act comes into force. There are now significant changes in the way we will be dealing with homelessness and these changes have had an impact on the Homefinder Policy. To find out more please see the updated policy here.
If your details or circumstances are incorrect you must make these changes to your application yourself.
The Coventry Homefinder Team are unable to validate these changes unless you have clicked submit at the end of the registration form.
All registrations will be reviewed annually, on the anniversary of your application if you have an email address on your application you will receive a reminder on the first day of the renewal process. Notification will show on your account when you log onto it as a pink box across the page with the link to the renewal pages. This pink box notification will show on your account for the full 125 days time scale given for renewal completion. To review your application you must:
Go to Login/My Account . Log in to your homefinder registration by inserting your registration number and memorable date in the fields requested and check the details that are on your account to ensure that they are correct. It is vital that your account holds the correct details to contact you; and that the members of your household included in your application are correct.
Submit any changes that you have made by scrolling through all 9 pages of the registration form and clicking 'SUBMIT' at the end of the form
If you do not need to make any changes to your registration form it is still essential that you check through all 9 pages and click 'SUBMIT' at the end of the form for your renewal to be validated.

With smartphones becoming as popular as they are, it kind of goes without saying that many of us are using them because of convenience. Access to mobile data networks can be incredibly handy, whether you're just trying to kill some time, find a place to eat when you're already on the go, or hunt down the nearest repair shop in the event of car troubles while you're on the road. Most of us make use of the mobile data functionality our smartphones offer, but you might be a little surprised to find out that mobile data usage is still on the rise year-over-year and these jumps don't show any signs of slowing down in the future.
A new report from Amdocs subsidiary Actix (via FierceWireless) claims that mobile data usage in 2013 rose by 40% over the previous year. That's a pretty massive increase when you consider that the number of new smartphone users has to be slowing down at this point. So, what gives? While Actix points out that increases in mobile data usage were once due to people upgrading from feature phones to smartphones for the first time, these days the jumps are driven by folks upgrading from low-end devices to higher-end handsets. Oh, and for the record, data consumption in 2013 was seven times higher than it was in 2009, so just let that sink in for a moment.
According to the report, iPhone users are the data usage kings, consuming about twice the amount of data as Android users in a given session, with the iPhone 4, 4S, and 5 ranking at the top of the list. Smartphones comprise a whopping 95% of data network traffic, but that doesn't mean tablets aren't contributing to the uptick. Actix director of global marketing Neil Coleman points out that connected tablet users average twice the data consumption as smartphone users, so this is more about install bases than anything else. That could all be changing in the future as low-cost tablets hit store shelves in a big way, so Coleman warns that carriers should prepare their networks to handle the onslaught of new tablets.
Is this going to slow down as we move further away from the introduction of the first smartphone? That doesn't seem likely, with Coleman saying that each new generation brings with it a 40% rise in data usage. With manufacturers releasing new generations of their flagship models on a yearly basis, mobile data consumption will keep rising at a breakneck pace, so here's hoping that the likes of Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint can handle what's to come.

Findlay, OH – The University of Findlay men's soccer team defeated the Walsh University Cavaliers in a conference match on October 5 in a 7-2 final. The victory pushes Findlay's record to 8-2 overall and 7-2 in Great Midwest play while the Cavaliers fall to 5-5-1 overall and 4-4 in league play.
The Oilers took the lead in the 12th minute first half when a shot from the corner was deflected by the Walsh goalkeeper, only to be knocked in by junior defender Connor Lynch. This was Lynch's first goal of the season.
The Cavaliers would go on to tie the match in the 43rd minute, leaving the score at 1-1 heading into the half.
Findlay came out big in the second half, scoring six goals on only eight shot attempts. Walsh added a goal of their own early, but could not hold off the relentless Oiler offense.
Freshman Alex Kerstetter led the scoring frenzy with three goals and two assists, which ties the school record and is tied for second in Great Midwest history for most points by an individual in a match. The record at Findlay hasn't been touched since 1998 when Zach Grieshop contributed eight points in a match against California (Pa.).
Adding to the scoring for the Oilers was sophomore Josh Dickinson with two goals and freshman Jacob Montag with one. Dickinson also chipped in two assists, Montag had one, and senior Yardley Gonzalez added another.
Findlay will be back on DeHaven Field at 3:00 PM this Saturday, October 7 when they host the Malone University Pioneers.

When you buy fish, it's important to make sure your fish is fresh. Fish is highly perishable because of its high moisture content and high protein content. Fish should smell like the ocean. If it has a strong, ammonia-like smell, run away! A good fish department will have all fish stored on ice, and that ice should be fine, as larger pieces can pierce delicate fish skin.
May brought up the term "Sushi-Grade Tuna." What that means isn't what people usually think. Most of this type of tuna is pre-frozen, as freezing kills off some of the bacteria and parasites, so that if you consume it raw, it's most probably good to eat. For most of us though, it's not a fabulous idea to freeze fish. Basic home freezers aren't cold enough and the fish can become crystalized. Fresh fish only lasts 24-48 hours, so if you want to keep it, put it over ice on brown paper in the back of the fridge until you're ready to use it.
Here's another fun fact about fin fish-the more active a fish is, the firmer and darker the flesh will be. These fin fish include salmon, swordfish and tuna. Guppies are pretty active! I wonder if they're too small to fillet? These fish taste best grilled, sautéed, poached, steamed or roasted, but are not great for deep-frying.
The less active fish are the ones with a more delicate flavor, like sole, flounder, catfish and cod. Now THESE you can fry, both in deep fryer and pan. They're also great sautéed and broiled.
There are three kinds of fin fish: round, flat and non-bony. Round fish have eyes on each side of the body and are, y'know…round. The flat fish have a flat body and eyes that are on the top part of their head (like a flounder). Non-bony fish have no bones, only cartilage. Sharks, swordfish and skate are all non-bony.

1. Start Your Prenatal Visits Immediately
During your very first prenatal visit, you will be screened for many of the most common medical issues that could complicate your pregnancy. Catching these issues as early as possible is vital to a healthy pregnancy and will give you time to start making lifestyle changes.
2. Improve Your Diet
Even women that have a relatively healthy diet might have to take a look at exactly what they are eating and how it will affect their pregnancy and their baby. The average woman only needs 300 additional calories per day for the first few months, but they also need nearly double the protein to keep the growing fetus healthy.
3. Begin Taking Prenatal Vitamins
Prenatal vitamins and traditional multivitamins are relatively similar with large quantities of vitamins A through D. What sets prenatal vitamins apart is the fact that they are also packed with folic acid and iron which are essential nutrients during a pregnancy.
4. Find a Fun Exercise Program
It is an unfortunate fact that many pregnant women stop exercising altogether, and this can lead to some serious complications down the road. Around 150 minutes of light exercise per week will help pregnant women with a variety of issues including common aches and pains.
5. Maintain a Consistent Sleep Schedule
The reason that many women feel fatigued in their first trimester is because they are not used to the changes taking place inside their body. Most specialists suggest that pregnant women try to take at least one short nap a day or simply raise their feet and relax for 30 minute periods.
6. Stay Away From Alcohol
Every single thing that you ingest will get to your baby, and this means that there is no safe amount of alcohol to drink. Studies have shown that even one drink a day will increase a mother's risk of birthing an underweight baby, and this can lead to serious medical complications for the child.
7. Say No to Illicit Drugs
Both illicit and prescription medication can have a serious impact on the child's health. Any mothers that are struggling with substance abuse should speak with their doctor immediately about finding help from a specialist.
8. Give Up Tobacco
Women that smoke while pregnant will put an incredible amount of strain on their own body and increase their risk of a variety of serious problems. This includes their risk of a miscarriage, low birth weight, premature birth, and placental abruption.
9. Reduce Your Caffeine Intake
There are two reasons that you should reduce your daily caffeine intake to less than 200 mg per day. The first reason is that caffeine makes it harder for your body to absorb iron. Studies have also shown that women who consume more than 200 mg per day increase their risk of premature births.
10. Remove Environmental Dangers
Every pregnant woman should take some time to find and remove environmental dangers that they come into contact with. Some of the most common environmental dangers include toxins in the workplace and unsafe cleaning products at home.
11. Don't Skip Dental Appointments
Changes to your hormones are going to have a big impact on your oral health, and it is important that you schedule at least one dental appointment during your pregnancy. Pregnant women have higher rates of tender, bleeding, and swollen gums (gingivitis).
12. Protect Your Mental and Emotional Health
Finally, you will also want to be mindful of your mental and emotional health during your pregnancy. If you ever feel completely overwhelmed or have long periods of depression, then it is important to seek out a counselor or caregiver to share your feelings.

The Condusiv blog shares insight into the issues surrounding system and application
performance—and how I/O optimization software is breaking new ground in solving
those issues.
Disruption is a popular word these days. Is it the replacement for innovation, which we've overused into pointlessness over the past ten years? Maybe, but disruption means more: it carries the weight of shaking up the status quo—of not only creating something new—but creating something that shifts models and opens our eyes to possibility.We talk about disruption like it's a new thing, cooked-up by a team of marketers in a conference room somewhere. But its roots lie in a theory introduced by an Austrian economist in 1942. Joseph Schumpeter captured the world's attention in only six pages, where he clarified the free market's muddled way of delivering progress. He called this theory Creative Destruction.I don't have a PhD in economics so I'll dodge the minutiae, but the overall meaning of the theory is what resonates—as it should to anyone engaged in business today. "Creative destruction is the same process of industrial mutation that revolutionizes the economic structure from within, incessantly destroying the old one and incessantly creating a new one."Simply put, to continually move forward we must be willing to embrace the destruction of what came before. Economists often use the Montgomery Ward example. MW started as a mail-order company in the nineteenth century. With no cars or trucks in those days, and most Americans living in small rural pockets, it was too costly to ship products to widely-dispersed local stores. That model would result in a high cost to the consumer, making goods too expensive for the average buyer. So instead MW turned its enormous Chicago warehouse (complete with a railroad running through it) into its hub, and used the already well-established US mail to deliver products directly to customers at a low cost.And a successful model it was. With a high-volume of sales, MW could charge lower prices. By the 1890s Montgomery Ward was the world's largest retailer. But all that came to an end. Why? Because over time Americans were moving to urban centers and could afford a higher standard of living.Robert Wood was an MW exec, and may well be the first adopter of Big Data on record. He analyzed data, studied the census, and saw the shift in American lifestyle. He presented his findings to leadership, suggesting that selling goods through a chain of urban department stores would replace the mail-order model as the most profitable path for retail.So MW did what any unmovable enterprise would do. They fired him.Meanwhile James Cash Penney recognized the same trends as Robert Wood, and it wasn't long before J.C. Penney stores put a serious dent in MW's profits. The mail-order giant was late to the party and couldn't change direction fast enough. And Robert Wood? He went to work for Sears, who also took a big bite out of MW's market share.Remind you of anything? Netflix and Blockbuster. Blockbuster was the established enterprise, staring streaming revenue in the face, yet unable to let go of profits from the rental market. Netflix is the newcomer—the creative destructor—free from the ball and chain of a dying business model, free to focus 100% on new streaming revenue. And we all know the end of that story.We also know that business is anything but stagnant, there are waves and cycles, and the same is true of companies. It's very difficult (impossible?) for an established enterprise to turn around, to be truly disruptive, and to compete with newcomers. But if you're an organization that can stomach the destruction of what came before to create new growth and opportunity, you might stand a chance.Condusiv is unique. We're a software company with a 30-year history as an established player in file system management and caching technologies. But in the spirit of disruption—of creative destruction—we've shifted all our focus and resources to V-locity, our flagship product that in itself signifies disruption in how organizations run their data centers. A 100% software approach to solving today's application performance issues at the root on the VM or OS layer, without requiring any additional hardware.When you embrace creative destruction you must ceaselessly devalue existing wealth in order to clear the ground for the creation of new wealth.It's true, our discussions may be very different from those had in other conference rooms. But that's what disruption should be about—that's how Condusiv can deliver performance in a software solution at 1/10th the cost of the hardware alternative. While others go for margin erosion—trying to win business by saving customers 20 cents on every dollar spent, we help customers save 90 cents on every dollar.As a channel partner, we allow you to fulfill your mission to your customers with added value, while also protecting your bottom line with a generous software margin that grows your profit over razor thin commodity hardware margins. You win. Your customer wins. A new market is emerging where hardware becomes the 2nd option for improved application performance.Welcome to our conference room.

As you know, we just released V-locity version 5. Here's the director's cut.We committed a slew of engineers to several months of development to build an enterprise-class management console for V-locity. In a world where a couple developers with a few pizzas can create a robust app from scratch in 6 weeks, that represents a lot of apps!Our previous management console didn't scale beyond 500 nodes and didn't play well with modern environments that span geographic locations with a hybrid of virtual and physical servers while provisioning some workloads to the cloud.That meant a console needed to be built that has the ability to auto-detect the most complex environments and batch deploy V-locity in seconds. A management console that is aware of the new world order of hybrid environments – virtual, physical, cloud – and deploy and manage to all from a single point.Customers asked for flexible pricing models whether it be volume perpetual licenses or site licenses or even subscription, and so we listened. They asked for I/O performance management that delivers insight into the anatomy of I/O behavior on all their workloads from virtual server (or physical server) to storage to help take the guesswork out of performance troubleshooting. Customers wanted to be able to set up alerts based on workload thresholds. They asked for a console that could validate V-locity before/after performance across workloads and have ongoing performance validation for continued ROI transparency.So we built it. The whole enchilada.Typically, when the baton is handed to marketing, the first two questions are almost always the same – "What do we call it?" and "What do we charge for it?"When you commit engineering resource the size of a small island, the very first temptation is to productize, to monetize, to ROI-ize what you put in because there is a cost to building products.Then again, this wasn't really a stand-alone product, but rather a big enhancement to an existing product.
A lot of companies charge for that enhancement. Many of you have purchased hardware or software products, only to find a separate line item and SKU for the management software itself to manage the product you purchased – the never ending high tech rabbit hole of monetization where you buy cars but batteries and steering and tires are not included.As my daughter tells me, "Dad, everyone does it." So, in our initial brainstorming session, we kicked around the idea of doing it too. But when it came down to it, we agreed it's not in the core tenet of our business model to disrupt.V-locity provides performance at 1/10th the cost of the hardware alternative. That's disruption. And in that spirit of disruption, we decided against productizing and charging for the management console.It's bundled with V-locity and available for free to every V-locity customer under maintenance. No extra charge required. No extra hardware required.

:: January 2017 Letter ::
Useful corporate management anecdote: in business, there are A players, B players, and C players. They all see Jiro Dreams of Sushi, a documentary about a brilliant octogenarian Japanese chef. The A players watch the movie, and aspire to be as accomplished as Jiro. The B players spend the next day raving about the movie to friends. The C players order sushi for lunch.
Unfortunately, there are also D players, who see the movie and whine that people like Jiro are stealing American jobs (anecdote sourced from tinyurl.com/jqhoqof). These D players are now running the US, UK, Russia, Turkey, and several other governments. They may run France soon too. Donald Trump's inauguration speech brilliantly redefined the D player perspective: "We've made other countries rich while the wealth, strength, and confidence of our country has dissipated over the horizon...From this day forward, it's going to be only America first, America first." (The best take on this: www.newyorker.com/cartoons/a20260).
For the US aerospace industry, an innovation powerhouse with a massive trade surplus, this is toxic. In 2000, US civil operators took 46% of all Boeing jetliner output; in 2016 they took just 19%. Protectionism sounds seductive. For many, it would be great if US companies sourced more from home producers. But the problem with protectionism is that it leads to retaliation. Paradoxically, the world's D players have everything in common, but they also love fighting with each other. There are six ways protectionism can damage the US aerospace industry:
First, China. As The Economist put it (January 28), "Economic Armageddon became a bit more likely when Donald Trump took office on January 20th, given his threats to impose a 45% tariff on Chinese imports." His administration has rattled all available sabers, threatening a blockade of China's South China Sea bases and an end to the US's One China policy. This could easily lead a trade war. An obvious target would be jetliners, with China's orders shifted from Boeing to Airbus. This is the greatest risk for Boeing and its suppliers. In 2016, they delivered 126 jets to China, with more going there via lessor; it's their most important export market.
Second, Open Skies Revisited. The big three US carriers have complained for years about the big three Arab Gulf carriers, with claims of "unfair subsidies." Delta has been particularly noisy about this. The US has had Open Skies agreements with the UAE since 1999 and with Qatar since 2001. Previous US administrations have been fine with this, but US carriers are likely to regard the Trump Administration as a receptive audience for their whining.
As with China, the easiest way for the Gulf carriers to retaliate against a protectionist air travel move is to switch orders from Boeing to Airbus. The biggest problem with this is Boeing's 777X. Of the 306 firm orders, 235 are for the three Gulf carriers. Boeing is making a $10 billion investment in this plane; losing 77% of the order book would have a devastating impact on investor perceptions of the company. And Delta's political base is far more pro-Trump than Boeing's; Trump and his allies might just decide that Washington State is completely irrelevant to their political and economic concerns. Meanwhile, Boeing's Iran deal will likely vanish if (or when) the new administration gets around to re-imposing sanctions.
Third, there's the risk of a border tax. Trump has called for "a very major border tax," reported to be 35% (and applied "selectively," an invitation to cronyism). But aerospace is not TVs or children's toys. A border tax could result in rapid sourcing changes by these industries, but the bulk of aerospace imports comes from of life-of-program contracts and risk-sharing partnerships. For example, Boeing can't just take the 787 wing contract away from Japanese suppliers and move it to the US. Instead, Boeing will simply find its costs rise markedly. All large civil aerospace primes and Tier One OEMs have created elaborate global supply chain networks, which depend on the relatively frictionless transit of parts between countries.
Fourth, we don't know how the end of the post-World War II trade order will impact aviation demand. Trump is withdrawing the US from the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). He also promised to re-negotiate or terminate NAFTA. The Trump administration may ignore WTO rulings, jeopardizing that institution too. There's no way to tell how badly jetliner demand would be impacted by this – our industry depends on hauling business travelers, tourists, and freight, all of which would be hurt by slowing trade. Growing protectionism is already impacting world trade; in September the WTO cut its trade growth forecast for the year to just 1.7%, the slowest rate since the 2008 financial crisis.
Fifth, there's the risk of an all-out trade war. We could see a series of escalating high-profile trade battles bringing world trade growth to a standstill. Given the mix of isolationism, chaos, and confusion we've seen over the past two weeks, you can't rule it out (or a real war, either). This administration seems to thrive on public opposition, controversy, and political theater. Our industry would be at the epicenter of a cataclysmic trade war. A recent Peterson Institute for International Economics study (https://piie.com/system/files/documents/piieb16-6.pdf) spells out the risks, and says a trade war would most impact companies which "manufacture machinery used to create capital goods in the information technology, aerospace, and engineering sectors." My friend John Persinos, writing in Investing Daily on the impact of a trade war (tinyurl.com/jmp48nz), thinks Boeing could be the single worst affected stock.
Sixth, consider the opportunities lost when walls go up. This industry benefits enormously from multinational enterprises. The best-selling jet engine of all time, the CFM56 and Leap series, comes from a 50-50 transatlantic JV established in the 1970s. Outgoing CFM CEO Jean Paul Ebanga recently sent me a superb new CFM history (The Power of Flight, by Guy Norris and Felix Torres) with a very timely note: "CFM is the perfect testimony of how rewarding the future can be if you trust the 'other,' especially if he is different." It would be a massive loss if this wisdom was replaced with mindless isolationism.
January Aircraft Binder updates include the World Aircraft Overview, CH-47, Tucano, AH-64, E-737, E-8, and S-92 reports. Please note: we're still running a bit late with these due to a new publication system; my apologies for that. And all the best for 2017.

The payment date on Samson's outstanding vendor promissory note has been
extended by one month to May 1, 2017, and negotiations are continuing
with respect to the refinance of this note. The interest payment of
$400,000 has been made today, however.
The promissory note was secured by second mortgages against Samson's
Foreman Butte assets through an inter-creditor agreement with Mutual of
Omaha Bank. The terms of the agreement grant 180 days before the note
holder can exercise any remedies under the 2nd lien mortgage.
Samson's Ordinary Shares are traded on the Australian Securities
Exchange under the symbol "SSN". Samson's American Depository Shares
(ADSs) are traded on the New York Stock Exchange MKT under the symbol
"SSN". Each ADS represents 200 fully paid Ordinary Shares of Samson.
Samson has a total of 3,283 million ordinary shares issued and
outstanding which would be the equivalent of 16.4 million ADSs.
Accordingly, based on the NYSE MKT closing price of US$0.57 per ADS on
April 3rd, 2017, the Company has a current market
capitalization of approximately US$9.4 million. Correspondingly, based
on the ASX closing price of A$0.003 for ordinary shares on April 3rd,
2017, the Company has a current market capitalization of approximately
A$13.1 million.

Immigration contributes a huge amount to Britain's economy, our culture, and our way of life. Elements of the Leave campaign, in particular, sought to lay the blame for any problem Britain faces at the feet of the EU and migrants. This abhorrent and deliberate incitement of whole swathes of the population has contributed to the disgusting acts of xenophobia and racism we have witnessed since the referendum result.
The Green Party will continue to stand up against nasty, stigmatising rhetoric. We will call out any politician or policy that is at its core racist or xenophobic. We will continue to welcome likeminded people from all over the world.
We have launched our new International Membership and are inviting everyone who identifies as a migrant, from the EU and further afield, to join the Green Party. Let's celebrate our differences!
To help you get the most from your relationship with the Green Party we'd like to keep you up to date with our campaigning, fundraising, and other Party activity by email, and very occasionally by post, phone, SMS, and social media.
Your support means a lot to us and we promise not to share your details with any third parties.
Can we change your mind?
Communication by phone, post and text message is kept to a minimum, very occasionally we'll let you know about our appeals and campaigns. Your consent will allow us to involve you in our internal elections, ensuring we remain a truly democratic party.
You can change your mind at anytime in the future.
If you still want to opt out let us know which communications you do want to receive.

"No animal is too small, large, cute, ugly, slimy, furry, feathered, stinky, or dirty... Bog Hollow to the rescue!"
A new chapter book series is hitting Library shelves. The Bog Hollow Boys are part adventure, part ecology exploration, and part mystery. This kid team made up of Ace, Daryl, Ethan, and Nellie (yes, a girl) invesigate suspicious events at Bog Hollow State Park. Together they rescue animals in need from natural hazards and human dangers such as poachers- when they are not in trouble themselves!
These short chapter books will fit perfectly in the hands of 3rd grade and advanced 2 grade readers who love slightly irreverent antics. No real new ground has been broken here, but older fans of the Wild Kratts will likely want to take a look at this series of self-designated animal protectors.

Tom Cotton is a rare member of Congress. He's one of just over a dozen who served on the front lines of either Iraq or Afghanistan, and one of just four in the Senate. The 39-year-old Harvard Law alumnus is also the upper chamber's youngest member.
For perspective, Utah Republican Orrin Hatch had been a senator for four months when Cotton was born in 1977, while the Senate's oldest member, 82-year-old California Democrat Dianne Feinstein, was already on her second marriage.

Parallels Server beta goes public; supports new Apple Mac Pro, Xserve
Looking for an alternative to VMware ESX, Xen, or Microsoft Hyper-V? SWsoft, soon to be renamed Parallels, announced the public beta of its Parallels Server hypervisor today, a few short weeks since the hypervisor entered into private beta.
In addition, Apple and Parallels have worked out a deal to allow Parallels Server to run on the new Apple Xserve and Mac Pro hardware, which use the latest generation of Intel chips featuring Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel VT-d). Parallels has promised experimental support for VT-d systems in beta and full support when Parallels Server becomes generally available.
This announcement makes Parallels Server the first bare-metal hypervisor to run on Apple hardware. Apple shops will be able to run Mac OS X Leopard as well as Windows, Sun Solaris and Linux virtual machines on their high-end Apple hardware. Parallels Server is also notable in that it can be installed either on bare metal à la VMware ESX Server or as a "lightweight hypervisor" running on top of a host operating system. At installation, users can choose how they want to deploy Parallels Server.
Last fall, Apple paved the way for this announcement when it altered its end-user license agreement (EULA) to enable the virtualization of Mac OS X. Of course, Parallels Server also runs on non-Apple x86 hardware, although Apple prohibits Mac OS X from running there.
According to Parallels, Parallels Server beta includes the following features:
- support for more than 50 different varieties of x86 and x64 guest operating systems;
- remote control of the virtual machines via the Parallels Management Console;
- support for up to 64 GB of RAM on the host computer;
- two-way symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) support in virtual machines, to go to four-way SMP in the final version;
- multi-user access to the same virtual machine;
- support for ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) in virtual machines; and
- open, fully scriptable APIs for customized management* Full support for Intel VT-x, and experimental support for Intel VT-d.
For more information or to participate in the beta, visit the Parallels Web site.

Easily Move Windows Between Multiple Display Monitors
In multi-monitor setups, one of the most executed functions is moving windows between the displays. It makes organization convenient and boosts efficiency of work, but what of the irritation of constantly having to drag windows here to there. MonitorSwitch addresses this issue and makes switching windows from one display to another easier and more efficient.
As per the developers description, it "adds two custom buttons in the caption bar of any windows, allowing you to move the window to the next or previous monitor". However, this did not happen in our test with Windows 7.
What the software did here was add commands to the right-click context menu for any window. We attribute this to the difference between Windows XP and Windows 7 file systems, but found even this solution to be convenient enough.
The new options are added to all the windows, regardless of the program to which they belong, hence improving the entire user experience. You may disable the commands or choose to have the tool start with Windows (under Performance tab) through the application's control interface.
MonitorSwitch is also compatible with x64 architecture.

Hello! Each Wednesday I share a handful of photos that stopped me in my tracks while I was scrolling on Instagram the previous week. Here are this week's fun five!
1. @MaisonDePax's beautiful staircase:
I love the curve, the L-shaped trim moulding on the side of each stair, the taper of the spindles, and that flooring- WOW! On her blog, Rachel said the wall color is Sherwin-Williams' Agreeable Gray and the stairs, which used to be covered in carpet, are now clad with an engineered wood oak plank from Green World Industries. They ran that same throughout the entire first floor and you can read/see more about it here: Wide Plank Oak Floors
2. The antler bouquet on @EmilyAClark's feed:
The caption read, "My dad (and the twins) found these on a walk, and I of course, stuck them in a blue and white jar". 🙂
3. The ticking/leather combo on the chairs in this photo in @KellyNuttDesign's feed:
Oh, who am I kidding- I love ALL the design choices in this space!

Residents at Homefield had some fun last week as they welcomed Nightingale Dogs back for another pet therapy session. "The dogs are very loving – they do little tricks and the residents always look forward to seeing them", Angela Watts, Activity Carer, told us.
Residents enjoyed getting up close to their four-legged friends. One of our residents, Barry, was delighted to play games with his favourite dog and gave him chewy sticks. Another resident, Dorothy, who likes to cuddle the dogs, said: "I have always been an animal lover." Iris also added: "These are lovely dogs, very well-behaved. I loved the whole experience, especially when I was feeding them with biscuits".
Everybody is looking forward to welcoming our furry friends back again soon!

Circus theatre company.
We are members of an emerging group called Lifeboat which we have formed after touring and performing with other companies for the last 5 years. As a group we are interested in physical storytelling and using circus as a highly accessible way of reaching an audience in an outdoor setting. The core team (Alan Conlon, Alex Hofgartner, Alice Ellerby and Becky Illsley) all trained together in physical theatre at Circomedia as well as specialising in Aerial, Acrobatics or Juggling. We have since worked with companies including NoFit State, Bash Street Theatre and Cirque Bijou among others.
We are delighted to announce that Wild Rumpus and The Invisible Circus are supporting us in the creation of our show with two week week long residencies at their venues in July 2015.
The Whirligig Forge will be very exciting, campng out in the woods of the Rode Hall Estate, we'll be able to get a real feel for how the show works outdoors and benefit from the experience of Wild Rumpus. Our week at Unit 15 with the Invisible Circus will give us a great opportunity to polish the show and get ready for our performance at the Blysh Festival in Cardiff in August 2015.

There is no better late summer island destination than Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts. Just south of Cape Cod and neighbor to equally yummy Nantucket, "the Vineyard" as referred to by regulars, swells to nearly 200,000 visitors during the summer months, with August and early September being prime periods to nurse your MAGness on South and State Street beaches. Traveling up island to the splendidness of Gay Head and Lucy Vincent beaches will be a treat. Watching the waves break against the rocks at Lucy Vincent will have you spending hours at this island getaway.

In America, 6.4 million children have been given diagnoses of attention disorders. That's 11 percent of the school-age population. Annual production of Ritalin-like drugs has quadrupled since the 1960s, and millions of children are taking these powerful stimulants every day.
Some argue that this "epidemic" is in fact an artifact of a test-driven, high-stakes, high-pressure school culture. Parents are eager to diagnose kids to get them extra resources, extra time to take tests, or simply an educational edge, and schools can exempt themselves from test targets if they have more kids classified as "disabled." A.D.H.D. diagnoses spiked 22 percent in the first four years after No Child Left Behind.
Regardless of the broader context, kids and families are clearly suffering. Sandra lives in Newton, Massachusetts and is the mother of a 9 year old boy who's had trouble in school, both with behavior and grades, since kindergarten.
"It's painful when your kid comes home and says, I feel like the dumbest kid in the class because all the other kids know the answers," she says. "He tells me, Mom, when I'm in school I have a really hard time paying attention. I go into the clouds and I miss what the teacher said and I have to ask my friends to tell me what just happened." Despite these problems, Sandra has been reluctant to medicate her son. She was happy to have the opportunity to enroll him in a clinical trial of a new technological solution, Atentiv.
Atentiv is, essentially, a video game with a brain-computer interface component. To play the game, children strap a headband around the forehead that uses an EEG to measure the brain's pattern of electrical signals and transmits them wirelessly to the computer via Bluetooth. First, the player goes through a calibration process that measures the unique "signature" of the individual's brainwaves in concentrating and distracted conditions while completing the Stroop Task, a common test of concentration.(Previous studies support the presence of unique EEG patterns for children diagnosed with ADD).
Once the system is calibrated the user plays a game that involves a character running through a landscape to complete tasks. When the player is distracted, the character slows down; the more she concentrates the faster the character moves. The result is something like a form of biofeedback–young children get an object demonstration of "growth mindset." They grow in awareness of what distraction and concentration feels like, and they also grow in their sense of being able to control their mental state for better performance.
For Hayden, Sandra's son, who took part in the clinical trial three times a week for 8 weeks, the results were dramatic. "I really saw a tremendous difference both at home and at school. I was thrilled." Hayden's handwriting got neater. His sleeping habits improved. His homework got better. His teacher was no longer calling with discipline problems. He got along better with his sister and with friends. He was easier to get out of the house in the morning.
Hayden is not alone. Trials of the Atentiv System have shown sustained improvements in 75-85% of children, as rated by parents, standardized tests, and direct measures of the brain waves. In this study, parents noticed significant improvement in inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms six months after the treatment began.
It's hard to say how much of this is due to the futuristic wonders of neurofeedback technology, and how much of it is a placebo effect. The researchers in this independent study noted that the study did not have a control group that, say, played a regular video game, and the parents all knew that their kids were in the treatment condition, which may have caused them to exaggerate the positive effects.
Atentiv's founders are not initially seeking FDA approval for their technology, so they can't make outright claims about ADHD. Instead they are launching early next year with a consumer product aimed at parents who want a solution for their kids without drugs. CEO Eric Gordon is confident that the technology will eventually lead to clinical products for treating not just ADHD but memory and abstract reasoning, in children, adults and the elderly.
Sandra's explanation for her son's improvement is not about the technology itself, but about the broader message of the game.
"It's all about self-esteem," she says. "For Hayden, it helped him realize he was capable. And also, just the way the game and training materials talked to him about it: saying there's nothing wrong with you, you're not dumb. Look, your brain is like a Ferrari and we're going to teach you to look at the green and red light."

Let's look at a few examples of changes that we can reverse and changes that we can only cover up. Concerning the pervasive problem of cellulite, which affects millions of women after the teen years, aging-related changes in the collagen proteins, connective tissue and skin are very difficult to prevent or resolve.
Yes, there are any number of pills, potions, creams, wraps and assorted devices for erasing the wrinkles and leveling the lumps. And yes, they all provide some temporary improvement in terms of a smoother skin appearance. However, they have no permanent effect, and they do not even address the major problems that are largely responsible for the unattractive hips and thighs.
What Is Causing Your Cellulite?
There are essentially two equally troublesome factors that cause the so-called cellulite look of large hips and thighs with cottage-cheese contours. These are simply too little muscle and too much fat. As shown in the illustration, every decade of adult life the average American woman loses about five pounds of muscle, and adds approximately 15 pounds of fat.
The muscle loss results from lack of use against sufficient resistance, which is the only way to prevent atrophy in this type of tissue. Walking, jogging, stepping, and other aerobic activities promote cardiovascular fitness, but they cannot maintain your muscle mass. Even worse, the muscle loss results in a lower resting metabolism that is the underlying cause of the fat gain.
Here Is How It Works
Over a 10-year period you lose five pounds of muscle, which results in a five percent reduction in your resting metabolic rate. You have gone from an eight-cylinder engine to a six-cylinder engine and you don't burn as much gas. That is, some of the calories that were previously used to maintain your muscle tissue now go into fat storage and you experience creeping fat accumulation.
Where do you lose muscle? – Where you don't use it, right! Yes. For those women who sit most of the day, much of their muscle loss is from the chair-supported hip and thigh muscles. Less muscle in this region means a thinner and softer foundation under the overlying fat layer.
Where do you add fat? – Where you have fat cells, right! Yes, and most women store most of their fat in the hip and thigh area, giving them the standard female pear shape rather than the typical male apple shape.
So what do we have? – Too little muscle providing too little support for too much fat. This, not the connective tissue changes, represents the real health, fitness and appearance problems associated with cellulite.
Good news! – These are changeable conditions that can be remedied safely, effectively and efficiently through brief exercise sessions and basic dietary adjustments.
Exercise Program Results
Here are the results for 79 women of all ages who performed three 40-minute exercise sessions a week for just eight weeks.
Those who did 20 minutes of specific strength training and 20 minutes of general endurance exercise replaced 1.7 pounds of muscle and reduced 3.2 pounds of fat for a 4.9-pound improvement in their body composition and physical appearance.Even more impressive, the women who also followed some sensible nutrition guidelines replaced 1.2 pounds of muscle and reduced 9.1 pounds of fat for a 10.3-pound improvement in their body composition and shape (almost two inches off their hip measurement).
In addition to the excellent assessment results, all of the women reported less cellulite. More than 70 percent observed much less cellulite and the other 30 percent noted some improvement in their cellulite situation.
To verify the importance of adding muscle as well as losing fat, we used ultrasound technology to measure tissue changes in the participants' thighs. Over the two-month training period the women increased their thigh muscle thickness by 1.9 mm and decreased their thigh fat layer by exactly the same amount, resulting in more fit, firm, toned and shapely legs.
Exercise Program Components
The 40-minute exercise sessions consisted of three key components. The most important component was 20 minutes of high-effort strength training. Our participants performed the following 10 weightstack exercises, five for the legs and five for the upper body.
|Weightstack Exercise
|Target Muscle Groups
|Leg Curl
|Leg Extension
|Hip Adduction
|Hip Adductors
|Hip Abduction
|Hip Abductors
|Leg Press
|Quadriceps, Hamstrings, Gluteals
|Abdominal Curl
|Rectus Abdominis
|Low Back Extension
|Erector Spinae
|Chest Press
|Pectoralis Major, Triceps
|Seated Row
|Latissimus Dorsi, Biceps
|Shoulder Press
|Deltoids, Triceps
They did one set of each exercise, using a weightload that fatigued the target muscles in 10 to 15 controlled repetitions. At six seconds per repetition (two seconds lifting and four seconds lowering), this required about 60 to 90 seconds of continuous muscle tension.
To enhance the strength-building benefit, the women performed a 20-second stretch after each exercise for the muscles that were just worked. Our research has revealed 20 percent greater strength gains when strength and stretching exercises are performed together.
Our third program component was aerobic activity for cardiovascular conditioning and increased energy expenditure. The participants did 20 minutes on the treadmill, stationary cycle or step machine following their strength training workout. They trained at a moderate effort level, about 75 percent of maximum heart rate.
Nutrition Program Components
Strength training and aerobic activity both burn lots of calories during the exercise performance (7 to 14 calories per minute). Because strength training uses the anaerobic energy system, you burn up to 25 percent as many additional calories during the post-exercise period as you do during your workout, which is a real bonus.
Strength exercise also replaces muscle tissue, which increases your metabolic rate 24 hours a day for even more calorie utilization.
While all of these exercise factors facilitate, fat reduction, participants who adjusted their caloric intake experienced three times as much fat loss (9.1 lbs. Vs 3.2 lbs.). We therefore recommend a basic and balanced nutrition plan that complements the comprehensive exercise program.
Our dietary guidelines are based on the United States Department of Agriculture Food Guide Pyramid that includes the following food groups and daily serving recommendations: grains (6-11 servings); vegetables (3-5 servings); fruits (2-4 servings); dairy (2-4 servings); meats (2-3 servings); and fats (sparingly).
Our nutrition experts simply modified the number of recommended servings across the board, based on the individual's daily caloric intake. Our participants selected one of three daily dietary plans (1,600 calories, 2,200 calories, or 2,800 calories), and ate in accordance with the following serving suggestions.
|Daily Caloric Intake
|1,600 cal.
|5 oz.
|2,200 cal.
|6 oz.
|2,800 cal.
|7 oz.
We also developed a menu planner to provide sample meals, complete with breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. Here is one example of the 12 daily menu planners which our participants followed as closely as possible.

In addition, we requested all of our program participants to drink at least eight cups of water throughout the day. Key times for drinking water are before, during and after meals, as well as before, during and after exercise sessions.
Although most people feel they know how to eat and how much to eat, our experience indicates that they typically error on the over consumption side. Our best performers are always those who honestly follow the menu planner and those who actually take a few extra minutes at mealtime to measure their serving sizes.
For example, Kathy achieved the best results in two successive cellulite reduction programs, losing 25 pounds in her first session and almost 20 more pounds in her second session. One reason for Kathy's impressive improvement was that she never missed a workout.
Perhaps equally influential, Kathy followed the menu planner almost perfectly, always weighing/measuring her food servings.
Cellulite is the name given to excess fat that is clumped together in uneven bundles beneath the skin, presenting a rippled and dimpled appearance, typically on women's thighs and hips. The major causes of cellulite are too little muscle (women average 5 pounds less muscle each decade) and too much fat (women average 15 pounds more fat each decade).
Our approach to the cellulite problem is to replace muscle through specific strength exercises, and to reduce fat through a synergistic combination of strength, endurance and stretching exercise coupled with a sensible nutrition plan.
Our 40-minute per day, three day per week exercise program has produced excellent results, especially for those women who also adhered to the dietary guidelines. On average, these program participants replaced 1.2 pounds of muscle, reduced 9.1 pounds of fat, and removed 1.8 inches off their hips in just eight weeks. All have been pleased with the program, and more than 70 percent have reported much less cellulite and much better physical appearance.
While some of the over-the-counter cellulite reduction products may provide temporary improvement by smoothing the skin, real change requires more firm muscle and less soft fat. These are the two essential requirements for firm, fit, toned, attractive and shapely legs.
