The life begins in a random internet browser when an unaware user- browsing the Aurora shop- makes a simple request asking for details about the child laptop product. This request can be translated in a Uniform Resource Locator exactly as the following:
After just few milliseconds, or maybe few hours mostly depending from the performance of the Aurora shop, the URL assumes the shape of a page, the death of the request:
Between the request's birth and its death some many things have happened; I'll try to summarize the "typical life of a catalog request" in a WCS v7 FEP7 "world" marking just the communication "links" between the several components look after the request.
WebSphere Commerce professionals
IBM HTTP Server and WAS Plugin
From the client browser the request hits directly the IBM HTTP Web Server (IHS). Now, two main factors contribute the proper handling of the catalog request: the WAS plugin module and the a rewriting rule.
Loading of the WAS plugin, http.conf
LoadModule was_ap22_module "C:\IBM\WebSphere\Plugins\bin\mod_was_ap22.dll" WebSpherePluginConfig "C:\IBM\WebSphere\Plugins\config\webserver1\plugin-cfg.xml"
Context root rewrite rule
RewriteRule ^shop/(.*) /webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/$1
For the effect of the rewrite rule the URL becomes:
Hence, IHS sends the request to the WAS plugin; it chooses the WebSphere cluster node which consider to be able to handle the request. Once it takes a decision the request is sent to the HttpTransport instance of the chosen node.
Part of the plugin-conf.xml ServerCluster configuration
<ServerCluster Name="server1_Cluster" ... > <Server Name="server1" ... > <Transport Hostname="..." Port="10080" Protocol="http"/> </Server> ... </ServerCluster>
According to the above configuration the WAS plugin will send the request to the server1 HttpTransport using the port 10080 and the protocol http.
WebSphere Commerce server, HttpTransport and WebContainer
The server1 has an HttpTransport instance- WCInboudDefault- waiting on port 10080; WCInboudDefault will take any request and pass them to the Web Container; for this reason the HttpTransport is also called Web Container transport chain.
The transport chains of server1
WCInboudDefault takes the incoming request and sends it to the Web Container. At this point, the next step is determined by the following factors:
- server1 has the WebSphere Commerce enterprise application- WC.ear- deployed and running
- WC.ear has a web module- Stores.war- which maps the context root /webapp/wcs/stores with its Servlet
server1 WC.ear web modules
Piece of Stores.war Deployment Descriptor configuration
<servlet> ... <servlet-name>Stores Request Servlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>com.ibm.commerce.struts.ECActionServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>config</param-name> <param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml,...</param-value> </init-param> ... </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>Stores Request Servlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>
WebSphere Commerce server, Stores Servlet
The Stores Servlet gets finally the request; it will start a communication flow with different components: URLMapping, Struts mapping, controller command, forward action and JSP view. Let's review the flow gradually.
Since the URL is SEO-Friendly, the Servlet needs to understand exactly which Controller command should execute; to accomplish this task the Servlert invokes the URLMapper component:; it resolves each token of the URL part just after the context root: /en/aurora/eletronics/laptops/child-laptop. Using the data stored in the tables SEOURLKEYWORD and SEOURL, and matching the pattern indicated in SEOURLPatterns-Products.xml, the URLMapper sends the following information to the Servlet:
- "en" is the language identification
- "aurora" is the store name
- "eletronics" is the parent category
- "laptops" is the current category
- "child-laptop" is the product name
- ProductDisplay is the view name
Part of SEOURLPatterns-Products.xml
<seourl:seoUrlPattern viewName="ProductDisplay">/LanguageToken/StoreToken:CatalogToken/CategoryToken/CategoryToken/CatEntryIDToken</seourl> <seourl:urlToParamMapping> <seourl:mapping name="langId" value="?LanguageToken?"/> <seourl:mapping name="storeId" value="?StoreToken?"/> <seourl:mapping name="catalogId" value="?CatalogToken?"/> <seourl:mapping name="productId" value="?CatEntryToken?"/> <seourl:mapping name="errorViewName" value="ProductDisplayErrorView"/> <seourl:mapping name="top_category" value="?CategoryToken?"/> <seourl:mapping name="parent_category_rn" value="?CategoryToken?"/> <seourl:mapping name="categoryId" value="?CategoryToken.1?"/> <seourl:mapping name="pageName" value="CatalogEntryPage"/> <seourl:mapping name="pageGroup" value="CatalogEntry"/> </seourl:urlToParamMapping>
<seourl:paramToUrlMapping> <seourl:mapping name="LanguageToken" value="?langId?"/> <seourl:mapping name="StoreToken" value="?storeId?"/> <seourl:mapping name="CatalogToken" value="?catalogId?"/> <seourl:mapping name="CategoryToken" value="?parent_category_rn?"/> <seourl:mapping name="CategoryToken.1" value="?categoryId?"/> <seourl:mapping name="ProductToken" value="?productId?"/> </seourl:paramToUrlMapping>
The control comes back to the Servlet; now, with the help of struts-config.xml, the system resolves the viewname addressing a specific controller command: ProductDisplayCmd; using CDMREG table the Servlet gets the implementation class name: ProductDisplayCmdImpl
Once executed, the controller command ProductDisplayCmdImpl returns the display view name: ProductDisplayView.
Again the Servlet uses the display view name and the struts-config.xml to get the forward action: ProductDisplayView/storeId. Than, using the DISPENTREL table, it catches the view resource path:
So, the JSP ProductDisplay is executed: the first and main thing it does is to call a REST service
REST service called from ProductDisplay.jsp
<wcf:rest var="catalogNavigationView" url="${searchHostNamePath}${searchContextPath}/store/${WCParam.storeId}/productview/byId/${productId}" > <wcf:param name="langId" value="${langId}"/> <wcf:param name="currency" value="${env_currencyCode}"/> <wcf:param name="responseFormat" value="json"/> <wcf:param name="catalogId" value="${WCParam.catalogId}"/> </wcf:rest>
Search Server modules
The WAS search server has the enterprise search application- Search.ear- deployed and running. There are 3 modules: Search-Preview, Search-Rest and Search-Solr.
Search server and its modules
The request, "evolved" in a RESTful service call, hits the search server and in particular the Rest servlet of the module Search-Rest mapped with the context root /search/resources. One of the task of the Rest Servlet is to know which search profiles it has to use in order to create a proper search expression.
To do so, the servlet uses the information stored in the wc-rest-resourceconfig.xml.
Part of the wc-rest-resourceconfig.xml content
<GetUri uri="store/{storeId}/productview/byId/{productId}" description="Get product by unique ID" searchProfile="IBM_findProductByIds_Details,IBM_findProductByIdsWithAttributesAndAttachments,IBM_findProductByIds_Summary,IBM_findProductByIds_Summary_WithNoEntitlementCheck,IBM_Admin_findProductByIds"/>
At this point the Search-Rest module starts a communication flow with the Search-Solr module. In fact, the Rest Servlet sends the request- plus the list of search profiles- to Search-Solr Expression Provider. According to the rest resource configuration the search profiles configured are:
- IBM_findProductByIds_Details
- IBM_findProductByIdsWithAttributesAndAttachments
- IBM_findProductByIds_Summary
- IBM_findProductByIds_Summary_WithNoEntitlementCheck
- IBM_findProductByIds
The Expression provider consolidates the request and creates a search expression the SOLR server can perfectly understand. Now the request has evolved again in a SOLR search query.
It's time for the SOLR server, mapped using the web Search-Solr module, to elaborate the request and provide finally an answer.
After few milliseconds- or maybe seconds ... again it depends from so many factors- the answer is ready and the SOLR server sends the results- under the format of a JSON page- to the caller: the Search Expression Provider. It could eventually changes the answer according to the logic of the post process elaboration.
The request is now a JSON page ready to go back to the WC enterprise application.
Back to WC ear
The client of the REST service- the ProductDisplay.jsp- gets an answer: the JSON page. In order to use this data, the results have to be integrated in the business layer of WCS. In other words, they have to be converted in nouns.
The Java code under the wcf:rest tag takes the JSON and creates the catalog nouns. It's able to do it using the Catalog Business Object Mediator. In fact, this component, using the configuration stored in wc-business-object-mediator.xml, generates the BOD Nouns the JSP code can perfectly manage.
Easy life for the JSP now, because it can render the results in the way it prefers and the request finally "dies". RIP.
Final consideration
The front-end catalog request has been a short life but very intense thought. It got different evolutions: URL SEO-Friendly, URL not so SEO-Friendly, Servlet request, Search profiles, SOLR query, JSON code, BOD Nouns. Wow, so many changes in a really short gap of time! Don't you think so?

Foster Care is something that a lot of people think about doing but don't think that they'll be able to, will be good enough or just don't get around to looking into it. I know it's something that has definitely crossed my mind from time to time as something I would like to do in the future.
At the moment 20% of foster children in Surrey have to be homed outside of the borough as there aren't enough foster carers in Surrey to care for them all. The 'eligibility' for being a foster carer isn't as stringent as it once was – For example, you can foster if you're aged 21-70, single, gay, don't work, or have a flexible job and so if you have a spare room and want to help children then foster care could be for you!
I grew up with Grandparents who fostered a stream of children and usually two or more at a time and my oldest Brother spent some time in foster care when we were growing up. It is definitely something that I feel a lot of people would love to do if given the opportunity.
Over the next few months Surrey County Council are holding Fostering Open Evenings to give you more information about what is involved and how to take the next steps on the road to becoming a foster carer, if it's something you've ever considered or something that you're now considering then definitely pop along!
Disclaimer: This is not a sponsored post and I haven't received anything in exchange for it. I just feel all children deserve a loving home and this is the sort of opportunity that should be shouted about!

Scientific Background :Tau-441 or Tau-F is a member of the Tau family of proteins which function to stabilize the microtubules by binding to them. Tau proteins are subject to phosphorylation and this phenomenon regulates the association of the Tau protein with the microtubules (1). Deposits of Alzheimer's disease AD-associated proteins, such as hyperphosphorylated Tau, as well as other shared misfolded proteins, such as, β-amyloid precursor protein (βAPP), ubiquitin, and various chaperones and protein kinases are thought to play a pathologic role in the cognitive decline and muscular failure. Malfunctioning of Tau proteins is associated with microtubules disintegration and collapsing of the neuronal transport system (2).

The "Yankee Clipper"
Collecting Baseball Cards & Autographs of Joe DiMaggio
By Kevin Glew
New York Yankees collectors can probably give you 56 reasons why you should pursue the Joe DiMaggio Basic and Master sets on the PSA Set Registry.
But the biggest reason is probably the "Yankee Clipper's" 56-game hitting streak in 1941, which is considered one of the most hallowed records in all of sports.
"No. 1, statistically, it's impossible to conceive that he achieved that record; it was superhuman," said Chris Collins, who owns the No. 2 Current Finest Joe DiMaggio Basic set on the PSA Set Registry. "And No. 2, with the [specialty relief] pitchers they have today, I think it's a record for the ages."
The hitting streak began on May 15, 1941, with a single off of Chicago White Sox left-hander Eddie Smith and proceeded to capture the imagination of Americans. It was front page news and radio broadcasts were interrupted for updates. Even non-sports fans were cheering for "Joltin' Joe."
DiMaggio hit .408 and struck out just five times during the streak, and when it was finally halted on July 17, 1941, by Cleveland Indians hurlers Al Smith and Jim Bagby, the Bronx Bombers star started up a new streak, hitting in 16 more consecutive contests.
By that time, however, hitting streaks were old hat for DiMaggio. The 56-gamer wasn't even the longest of his professional career. In 1933, as an 18-year-old rookie with the Pacific Coast League's San Francisco Seals, the young slugger hit safely in 61 straight contests.
Not bad for a kid whose older brother, Vince, had to convince the Seals to sign him in 1932. Born in Martinez, California, on November 25, 1914, DiMaggio was the eighth of nine children (the fourth of five sons) born to Giuseppe and Rosalia DiMaggio. His parents were Italian immigrants and his father worked as a fisherman, but DiMaggio was more interested in a career on the diamond than on the water.
In 1932, DiMaggio was a wild-throwing, 17-year-old shortstop when he played three games for the Seals, before starring with the club in 1933 as an outfielder. He hit .340 and smashed 28 homers that season and, for an encore, batted .341 in 1934. Most big league teams, however, shied away from him after he hurt his knee that August. Yankees scout Bill Essick, on the other hand, was smitten with the young outfielder, and he convinced the Bombers to buy DiMaggio for $25,000. The deal was contingent on DiMaggio remaining with the Seals in 1935 and proving that his knee had healed. The outfield prospect would hit .398 and belt 34 home runs, leaving little doubt that he was healthy and ready for the big leagues.
His major league debut was widely anticipated. Some heralded him as the next Babe Ruth, and DiMaggio didn't disappoint. In his first start, on May 3, 1936, he recorded three hits and three runs and went on to accumulate 48 hits in May to set a new rookie record. He'd finish the season with a .323 batting average, 206 hits - including 29 home runs and 15 triples - and 125 RBI to lead the Yankees to their first World Series title since 1932.
Over the next six seasons, the five-tool outfielder was a force on four more championship teams. During that stretch, he also secured two American League (AL) batting titles (1939, 1940) and two AL MVP Awards (1939, 1941). He also topped the league in home runs (46) in 1937 and RBI (125) in 1941. In the process, he became a hero and a symbol of modesty and class on and off the field.
"Of course, when you talk Yankees, the first name that pops up is Babe Ruth. And while Ruth created the Yankees' dynasty for years to come, he was a notorious lout. According to what has been written about him, his off-the-field antics left something to be desired. Joe DiMaggio was different," explained Tim Pulcifer, a long-time DiMaggio card collector.
"He was quiet, reserved and [seemed to possess] a tremendous feeling of obligation - not only to himself but also to baseball, his family and friends. To me, he exemplifies the true 'American Dream,' of being somewhat of a minority [Italian] at the time and then becoming the best baseball player of his generation. He was very conscious [of the fact] that he was representing not only a proud heritage but also a respect for the game and its fans. He was a role model for young fans and is an American icon. He was a class act all the way."
Steve DeFreytas, who owned the registry's No. 1 All-Time Finest DiMaggio Master Set until he retired it in 2009, agrees.
"One couldn't help but admire him," he said. "He always struck me as a man of integrity, who took seriously his position as a role model to young people."
In February 1943, DiMaggio enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Forces, where he served in a morale-boosting role. Unfortunately, stomach ulcers hospitalized him for several weeks in 1944, and he received a medical discharge in September 1945.
When he returned to the Yankees the following year, he batted below .300 for the first time, but he rebounded to hit .315 and win another MVP Award in 1947. The following campaign he regained his pre-war form and topped the AL with 39 home runs and 155 RBI.
But by the end of that season, DiMaggio was increasingly hobbled by a bone spur on his left heel, and he missed the first 65 games of the 1949 campaign. DiMaggio would play close to a full season in 1950 and hit .301 with 32 homers, but his batting average dropped to .263 in 1951, which proved to be his last big league campaign. Despite tailing production, he was still the centerpiece of four more World Series-winning squads after he returned from military service.
"What really stands out to me is that Joe DiMaggio was a complete ballplayer, and he led by example. He could hit for average and power and was an RBI machine. In 13 big league seasons, Joe had 100 or more RBI nine times, and if not for injuries, he would have had more," noted Pulcifer. "His fielding was, by most accounts, nearly flawless."
But it's DiMaggio's post-season performance and low strikeout totals that most impress Pulcifer.
"He led the Yankees to 10 World Series, and of those 10 Series, the Yankees won nine of them. Babe Ruth didn't do that, [neither did] Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle or Derek Jeter," he said. "Another thing [to note is that] DiMaggio hit 361 home runs in his career, yet had only 369 career strikeouts. Think about that. To me, that is even more incredible than his still unbroken, 56-game hitting streak."
Following his playing career, DiMaggio married model and actress Marilyn Monroe in January 1954. The marriage lasted just nine months, but the two remained friends until her death on August 5, 1962. DiMaggio later served as a coach and vice-president for the Oakland A's in 1968 and 1969, prior to becoming a spokesperson for Mr. Coffee®.
In a 1969 poll, DiMaggio was named baseball's "greatest living player," and he was introduced by that title at subsequent public events. DiMaggio was also one of the first ex-athletes to profit handsomely from his autograph (see accompanying sidebar). He became a regular on the card show circuit in the 1980s and 1990s.
Despite the adulation he enjoyed, however, DiMaggio is not nearly as popular as Yankees legends like Mickey Mantle and Babe Ruth amongst card collectors. Just 18 Basic DiMaggio sets and nine Master sets have been registered on the PSA Set Registry.
Much of this has to do with DiMaggio playing during a period when there were few national card releases. There are just seven cards in his Basic set and 41 in his Master set, and the few cards that were made of him are not as appealing as the Topps and Bowman issues of the 1950s.
"Some of DiMaggio's cards are hideous," said Collins. "They are just not attractive cards."
But even with their mostly primitive designs, DiMaggio's cards can still command big bucks. Here's a rundown of DiMaggio's Basic Set cards and some of his key Master Set cards.
Basic Set Cards
1938 Goudey #250, #274. These 2-3/8" by 2-7/8" cards present a photo of DiMaggio's head superimposed on a cartoon body. The fronts of the two cards have the same image, but card #274 has cartoons and words in the background. Both cards are hampered by border toning, and although the second DiMaggio (#274) sometimes commands a premium, the "Yankee Clipper's" first single (#250) is actually tougher to track down in PSA NM-MT 8 or better condition.
Of the 255 examples of #250 graded, there have been just two PSA MINT 9s, two PSA NM-MT+ 8.5s and nine PSA 8s. There are three PSA 9s and 24 PSA 8s of #274.
1939 Play Ball #26. Showcasing a head and shoulders shot of a smiling DiMaggio, this is one of the best black-and-white images of the Bombers legend on a card. Measuring 2-1/2" by 3-1/8", it's one of the easier DiMaggio singles to obtain in top condition. Of the 1,144 submitted, there have been 13 PSA 9s, one PSA 8.5 and 88 PSA 8s.
1940 Play Ball #1. This card is the same size as the 1939 Play Ball single, but it features a framed, black-and-white action photo and DiMaggio's name at the bottom. This is the first card in the set, which adds to its appeal but also makes it more challenging to find in pristine grade. There have been just two PSA 9s and eight PSA 8s.
1941 Double Play (with Charley Keller) #63, #64. A headshot of DiMaggio is featured alongside fellow Bombers outfielder Charley Keller on this 2-1/8" by 3-1/8", black-and-white card. These double cards were often cut in half to separate the players. Of the 199 submitted, there have been 11 PSA 8s, with only one PSA 8.5 grading higher.
1941 Play Ball #71. This card is very similar to DiMaggio's 1940 Play Ball card except that color has been added. Pulcifer says the purple and green colors used in the background help this card stand out.
"Many consider this his best looking card," said Pulcifer.
The veteran collector adds that this card is also coveted because it was released in the year of DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak.
There has been one PSA GEM-MT 10, five PSA 9s and 28 PSA 8s.
1948 Leaf #1. This was the first card in the first color baseball set after World War II. Being at the top of collector piles, this card was subjected to additional wear and tear, and it's DiMaggio's most difficult Basic Set single to uncover in PSA 9 or better condition. There's just one PSA 9 (and no PSA 10s).
Key Master Set Cards
1933-36 Zeenut Pacific Coast League cards. DiMaggio is featured on two elusive, 1-3/4" by 3-1/2" Zeenut cards from his tenure with the Pacific Coast League's San Francisco Seals. On both cards, his last name is misspelled "DeMaggio." One card features DiMaggio in a batting pose, while the other showcases him throwing. Additionally, these cards were originally released with a coupon attached to the bottom that encouraged collectors to cut it off and redeem it for "valuable premiums." Cards with the coupons still intact sell for more.
The batting pose card is tougher to obtain in top condition. Just six examples of the hand cut variety have been submitted, compared to only one with the coupon still intact. The highest grade has been a PSA GOOD 2 (for the hand cut card). Sixteen "throwing" cards have been evaluated, and there have been two, hand cut PSA EX 5s and one PSA EX-MT 6 for the "with coupon" example.
1936 World Wide Gum #51. Goudey's Canadian imprint, World Wide Gum, released a DiMaggio card before their American competitors. Some deem this DiMaggio's true rookie because it's the first to feature him in a Yankees uniform. This card was released in Canada in limited quantities.
"This was probably the toughest one to find, in any condition, while trying to build the set," said DeFreytas.
Of the 27 evaluated, the highest graded example is a PSA NM 7.
1937 O-Pee-Chee #118. Another tough Canadian issue, this card measures 2-5/8" by 2-15/16" and presents a black-and-white photo of DiMaggio in the follow-through of his swing. There's a perforated design around the top half of DiMaggio's photo, so you could pop out this portion of the photo to make a stand-up card. As a result, these cards are difficult to find in their original condition. The four PSA 8s are the highest graded examples.

Collecting "Joltin' Joe" Autographs
Joe DiMaggio's signature was as tidy and meticulous as the suits he wore.
"DiMaggio's signature always had sense of authority," said the principal authenticator at PSA/DNA. "From his early days to maybe a few years before he died, his signature almost always showcased every letter. And the early signatures, especially the stuff during his playing days, are the most coveted by collectors."
The authenticator says DiMaggio seems to have been a relatively accommodating signer during his playing career.
"A tell-tale sign of his prolific signing habits are the various album page and team sheets we see submitted to PSA/DNA," said the expert. "In general, he was pretty gracious with fans."
The PSA/DNA authenticator warns, however, that clubhouse attendants signed some items for DiMaggio during his playing career.
"DiMaggio had clubhouse signers signing for him throughout his career," the autograph expert noted. "He did sign a good number of team balls though, usually signing on a side panel of a baseball and occasionally the sweet spot."
DiMaggio was a less accommodating signer in person after he retired.
"There's no doubt that he was one of the major guys that paved the way for the modern autograph business," said the authenticator. "He did shows and appearances on almost any weekend from the early-to-mid 1980s up until the end of his life. DiMaggio was very active on the circuit, and he was very proactive in getting top dollar for his signature."
Collectors have to be wary of some of DiMaggio's post-playing career autographs because his sister signed some items for him.
"During the 1970s and 1980s, his sister did sign some fan mail for him, but DiMaggio would also sign from time to time," noted the lead authenticator at PSA/DNA. "It was rare though that he would sign his mail. Another little-known fact about DiMaggio is that his sister would occasionally sign his checks. I have seen a handful of those floating around through the years."
On top of his sister signing items for him, there are also a lot of outright forgeries circulating. PSA/DNA estimates that over 50% of the DiMaggio autographs in the marketplace are not authentic.

I'm sure by now, after 4 albums, you've probably seen an Ok Go music video. They are creative, quirky, and entertaining, and the live show was no different. The Commodore Ballroom was a pretty great place to be on Wednesday. The show started out with "Upside Down and Inside Out," and from the onset you could tell the performance was going to be a lively one.
Front man Damian Kulash was joined on stage by bandmates Tim Nordwind, Dan Konopka and Andy Ross. The concert had everything an OK Go fan could have asked for. From the first of many times the confetti canons went off, to a Q&A session with the audience where the lead singer was asked a flurry of questions ranging from who he was wearing to what kind of donut he would be. All this in addition to an acoustic performance of "Loose Leaf" performed smack dab in the middle of the Commodore dance floor.
The band is well known for its quirky pop rock, and with this fourth album the group added an electronic touch to their sound, so when the group did a cover of "Black Dog" nearing the end of the show and hit it spot on in a way Led Zeppelin would approve of, they proved that they have the versatility to change it up.
For the encore the group added a final cherry on top with a choreographed routine and left the audience with their hit "Here It Goes Again."
With all of the visual treats, audience participation and interaction, and the band's ever evolving sound OK Go was a fantastic concert experience proving they can translate their larger than life music videos to a real life performance.

General Assemblies
Undersecretary: Summer Hua
Our General Assemblies
General Assemblies are PEAMUN's largest committees, ranging from 100 to 150 delegates in size. The General Assembly is one of the six main organs of the United Nations, the only one in which all Member States have equal representation to discuss and work together on a wide array of international issues covered by the UN Charter, such as development, peace and security, international law. Debate in GAs is lively, as delegates must balance their responsibilities to their respective nations, allies, and the committee as a whole. We hope that delegates will leave committee with a thorough understanding of the promises and pitfalls of international diplomacy.

Spring Looking Glass Collection
The new Spring looking glass collection is now live in store. This has been the largest update so far, with a sparkling array of looking glasses and pixies, as well as some brand new items. I'm very proud of this latest batch. They are a lot more intricate in their detailing, with hours of very precise work- tweezers are now an extension of my hand!
When I create each one, they are an individual time consuming project that I get completely lost in. I adore making each and every one, with a firm intention to make them completely unique for their prospective owners. It is a long process; from picking the flowers, to pressing and preserving them, then devising a miniature artistic arrangement, making the frames and setting them in numerous fine layers of resin, they are then finally ready for their debut. A wearable piece of art you will not find anywhere else in the world; pretty special indeed. Enjoy the new collection!

CNBC's Jim Cramer reminded investors not to step into a battleground stock, a situation where passionate bears are in a standoff with passionate bulls and there's no where to go.
"When you get a situation like Monster where a stock keeps getting mauled by the bears, but a couple of heroic analysts remain bullish, that's not a fight you want to be involved in," the "Mad Money" host said. "Believe me, there are lots of easier ways to make money."
Shares of Monster Beverage have run more than 10 percent this year. That trails the S&P 500's 13-plus percent gain, and the stock is nearly 5 percent under its price a year ago.
Credit Suisse and Morgan Stanley on Thursday offered dueling perspectives on the energy drink maker with the former putting faith in the company and the latter cutting numbers, Cramer noted.
"If the bulls at Credit Suisse turn out to be correct, well they'll look like geniuses," he said. "But there are very real worries here, which is why I am hesitant to stick my neck out on this one, especially with Monster selling at 24-times next year's earnings estimates, much higher than the average stock. Not exactly a value play."
Cramer's full insight here
Lyft's $87 opening price is a "win for the system," even though it may have been a loss for investors that were overeager, Cramer
"I cannot stress this enough: we're at the start of an IPO season that looks on track to bring a trillion dollars' worth of companies public," the host said. "These deals will be the big story going forward."
Next week, Cramer is anticipating retail data on Monday and March employment results on Friday. Earnings results from Walgreens, Constellation Brands, and others will come in between those days.
See Cramer's game plan here
Tim Sloan's decision to step down as chief of Wells Fargo hinged in part on a looming congressional committee meeting on banks next month, Cramer said.
The top brass of the big banks will be in Washington, D.C., on April 10 for the House Committee on Financial Services hearing on banks. The committee, headed by Rep. Maxine Waters, would surely focus on Sloan, Cramer said.
"No matter what he said or did, the fact that he served as an executive at Wells Fargo under John Stumpf, now disgraced, meant that as far as Congress is concerned he's guilty until proven guilty," the "Mad Money" host said.
Stumpf was chairman and CEO of Wells Fargo when the embattled bank was fined $190 million after being accused of opening fraudulent accounts without their customers' consent. Sloan, who served more than three decades at the firm in total, succeeded him as CEO in October 2016.

Hello Alfred is a start-up company looking to "redesign" how people live in cities and open up more time on their schedule, co-founder and CEO Marcel Capone told Cramer. She sat alongside co-founder and COO Jessica Beck.
"We'll do that through a combination of technology. So we have a mobile app, and human help," Capone said. "So we have Alfred home managers who are W2 employees of ours that actually come and help you with all of those things that you don't want to do every week."

Cramer dug back to "Mad Money" caller questions from November to share his research and findings on the stocks of enterprise safety provider Everbridge and office supply retail chain Office Depot.
The host admit that Everbridge is one that got away. The stock is up 50 percent since late November, he said.
Office Depot, on the other hand, is more complicated.

In Cramer's lightning round, he ran through his reactions to callers' stock questions:
Dell Technologies Inc.: "I think so. I thought [CEO] Michael [Dell] told a good tale. I put that in the bullpen for the club. I think that that is one terrific stock, and if it goes down after any of [the action] raising money for IPOs, well you know what, I'm gonna give it a double buy."
AT&T Inc.: "I think AT&T is fine. I like it's 6.5 percent yield. I think it can go up over time, but it's no Verizon. Verizon is a better-run company."
HealthEquity Inc.: "I don't know, I'm not there. I'd rather see you in Paychex. I think Paychex does a great job."

You've just gotten your first job out of school and university, and for the first time you can afford cocktails at your local bar. The handbag you've always wanted is somehow now within reach, and the improvements you wanted to make to your car (i.e. a subwolfer) are a possible dream. So, you go and buy them right? Right?
Not so much. It's fun, spending everything you earn. Believe me, I know all about it. But it's going to leave you financially hampered for the rest of your life, if you dispose of all your disposable income in your twenties. Now is the make or break time. You can set the rest of your life up nicely, or you can make everything a little bit harder. Here's how to go with the former.
So much money
Yes, compared to your Maccas paycheck, your annual salary is huge. But take out taxes. Take out super. Divide the number by 26. Now you're looking at what your take-home is, and I'm willing to bet it ain't as plum as that enormous yearly salary looks.
Solution: Wait to see what your paycheck really looks like after the first month. Then draw up a realistic budget, that allows you to have fun (after all, this is your twenties) but also allows you to live a cash life and have some savings.
Purchase a new work wardrobe (and a new wardrobe)
You may feel as if you need an entirely new wardrobe, but be smart about what you buy. A couple of well-designed basics, that you can mix and match, will mean you have a smart looking wardrobe that doesn't cost a bomb. Think about scarves and handbags (not tones, just a couple) to smarten and mix it up. While you're at it, don't buy an entire IKEA to stock up your new pad.
Solution: Buy good basics and don't buy everything you see all at once. Start minimalist on your new apartment and add to it gradually as you work out what the essentials are. Think second-hand and discount as well.
Too young, too free
Just because you're in your twenties, doesn't mean that you won't ever have an emergency or want to retire. Sure you've just started you're first job, but the time to start preparing for leaving the workforce is now.
Solution: Set yourself up now. Contribute extra to your super, and set aside 6 months of expenses in an emergency fund. If you set yourself up properly when you're in your twenties, things will be a whole lot easier in the long run.
Live like we do
Your friends are lawyers, accountants and fashion designers, and they live like it. You, on the other hand, are a struggling journo or working for community. Don't march them expense for expense.
Solution: Live according to your salary. They're your friends, they'll be happy to make concessions. Don't feel inferior because you can't afford designer goods. It's all trimming anyway.
Leave debt for later
The problem with this is obvious, I guess.
Solution: You're never going to feel like you have enough money to pay off debt. Do it gradually, and do it consistently.
Use part of all that lovely money you're getting to get you on your feet, and stay debt-free.

It can actually help you cut back on calories. That's because capsaicin, a compound found in jalapeño and cayenne peppers, may (slightly) increase your body's release of stress hormones such as adrenaline, which can speed up your ability to burn calories. What's more, eating hot peppers may help slow you down. You're less likely to wolfed down that plate of spicy spaghetti — and therefore stay more mindful of when you're full. Some great adds besides hot peppers: ginger and turmeric.
Going long periods of time without food does double-duty harm on our healthy eating efforts by both slowing down your metabolism, and priming you for another binge later in the day. (Think: You've skipped breakfast and lunch, so you're ready to takedown a whole turkey by dinner!) Make it your mission to eat three meals and two snacks every day, and don't wait longer than three to four hours without eating. Set a "snack alarm" on your phone if needed.
That's because women tend to store more temporary fat in their bellies. "The fat stores are gained and lost," says Lawrence Cheskin, MD, chair of the department of nutrition and food studies at George Mason University and director of the Johns Hopkins Weight Management Center. "By and large, belly fat comes off easier in the sense that it comes off first. That's where a good amount of the fat is lost from."
Instead of subjecting yourself to another endless workout, crank up the intensity and you'll see results faster than you ever thought possible. The results of a PLOS One study conducted at McMaster University in Ontario reveal that adult male study subjects who exercised intensely for a single minute had equivalent respiratory and metabolic changes to those who worked out at a slower pace for close to an hour, so if you want to burn through that belly fat, say so long to slow and steady.
We're not saying it's CGI or Photoshop that's responsible for creating these onscreen bodies. Rather, it's a secret, weeklong get-shredded strategy that separates people who make their living with their bodies from guys like us who just want to eat popcorn and watch them dodge bullets. The movie stars, the underwear models, the pro bodybuilders—they don't look like that all the time. They can't. But when it's go time, they're ready with Hollywood's biggest get-shredded secret.
There is some scientific legitimacy to today's lower-carb diets: Large amounts of simple carbohydrates from white flour and added sugar can wreak havoc on your blood sugar and lead to weight gain. While avoiding sugar, white rice, and white flour, however, you should eat plenty of whole-grain breads and brown rice. One Harvard study of 74,000 women found that those who ate more than two daily servings of whole grains were 49 percent less likely to be overweight than those who ate the white stuff. Eating whole grains is not only one of many great, easy ways to lose weight; it can also make you smarter.
Conversely, the more food in front of you, the more you'll eat—regardless of how hungry you are. So instead of using regular dinner plates that range these days from 10 to 14 inches (making them look empty if they're not heaped with food), serve your main course on salad plates (about 7 to 9 inches wide). Instead of 16-ounce glasses and oversized coffee mugs, return to the old days of 8-ounce glasses and 6-ounce coffee cups.
Control Your Environments. Another simple strategy to help cut calories is to control your environment -- everything from stocking your kitchen with lots of healthy options to choosing the right restaurants. That means avoiding the temptation by staying away from all-you-can-eat restaurants. And when it comes to parties, "eat a healthy snack before so you won't be starving, and be selective when you fill your plate at the buffet," suggests Ward. Before going back for more food, wait at least 15 minutes and have a big glass of water.
All meals are important, but breakfast is what helps you start your day on the right track. The best, heartiest breakfasts are ones that will fill you up, keep you satisfied, and stave off cravings later in the day. Aim to eat anywhere between 400 and 500 calories for your morning meal, and make sure you're including a source of lean protein plus filling fat (e.g., eggs, unsweetened Greek yogurt, nuts, or nut butters) and fiber (veggies, fruit, or 100% whole grains). Starting your day with a blood sugar-stabilizing blend of nutrients will help you slim down without sacrifice.
Dairy products such as cream and cheeses. They work well in cooking as they satisfy. The problem is if you're munching a lot of cheese in front of the TV in the evening… without being hungry. Be careful with that. Or lots of cream with dessert, when you're actually already full and just keep eating because it tastes good. Or another common culprit: loads of heavy cream in the coffee, many times per day.
The main advantage of the low-carb diet is that it causes you to want to eat less. Even without counting calories most overweight people eat far fewer calories on low carb. Sugar and starch may increase your hunger, while avoiding them may decrease your appetite to an adequate level. If your body wants to have an appropriate number of calories you don't need to bother counting them. Thus: Calories count, but you don't need to count them.
When you drink liquid carbs, like the sugar in soda, your body doesn't register them the same way as, say, a piece of bread, according to a review of studies published in Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition & Metabolic Care. That means, even though you're taking in calories, your fullness cues aren't likely to signal that you're satisfied once you finish off a can. And that can lead to consuming more overall.
Plus, a 2015 study from the Annals of Internal Medicine showed that for those who have a hard time following a strict diet, simplifying the weight loss approach by just increasing fiber intake can still lead to weight loss. Women should aim for at least 25 grams of fiber per day (based on a 2,000-calorie) diet, according to the most recent U.S. Dietary Guidelines. Not sure where to start? Check out our step-by-step guide to increasing your fiber intake.
Are you finding it difficult to fit into your little black number? Is belly fat giving you sleepless nights? If your answer is yes, you need to make some lifestyle changes to get the figure of your dreams. No doubt, belly fat looks aesthetically displeasing. It can assume serious proportions and affect long term health, if not curbed at the right time.
Even if you do meet your goal, it's nearly impossible to keep off the weight over the long term: "The amount of restriction required [to maintain that number] will make you so hungry that you'll eat everything in sight—it's survival instinct," Dr. Seltzer says. And since calorie restriction gradually slows your metabolism, your body will be less prepared to burn the foods you binge on, he adds. That could mean gaining more pounds than you lost in the first place.
Control Your Environments. Another simple strategy to help cut calories is to control your environment -- everything from stocking your kitchen with lots of healthy options to choosing the right restaurants. That means avoiding the temptation by staying away from all-you-can-eat restaurants. And when it comes to parties, "eat a healthy snack before so you won't be starving, and be selective when you fill your plate at the buffet," suggests Ward. Before going back for more food, wait at least 15 minutes and have a big glass of water.
14 ways to lose weight without diet or exercise Strict diets can be challenging to follow, and people may not always have the time or ability to exercise. However, a variety of simple lifestyle changes can help people lose weight and improve their health. These include taking probiotics, getting enough sleep, and thoroughly chewing food.

A different way of viewing weight loss identifies the problem as not one of consuming too many calories, but rather the way the body accumulates fat after consuming carbohydrates—in particular the role of the hormone insulin. When you eat a meal, carbohydrates from the food enter your bloodstream as glucose. In order to keep your blood sugar levels in check, your body always burns off this glucose before it burns off fat from a meal.
That doesn't mean that we don't have certain areas where we're predisposed to put on fat. If I gain a few excess pounds, most seem to appear on my stomach. Other people tend to put on pounds in their thighs or rear. They're gaining weight everywhere, of course, but it seems to appear more readily in a certain area. On the flip side, if I lose five or six pounds, my waistline gets noticeably less soft.
Leafy Greens – Help you feel satisfied longer, boost your metabolism and turn off your hunger receptors. You will eat less and lose more belly fat just by increasing your leafy greens! They're low in calories and high in fiber, making them the perfect weight loss food. Not a fan? Try one of our yummy green smoothies. Examples include spinach, romaine lettuce, kale, bok choy, arugula, chard, and mustard greens.
Forgive yourself. So you were going to have one cracker with spray cheese on it and the next thing you know the can's pumping air and the box is empty? Drink some water, brush your teeth, and move on. Everyone who's ever tried to lose weight has found it challenging. When you slip up, the best idea is to get right back on track and don't look back.
While some people respond well to counting calories or similar restrictive methods, others respond better to having more freedom in planning their weight-loss programs. Being free to simply avoid fried foods or cut back on refined carbs can set them up for success. So, don't get too discouraged if a diet that worked for somebody else doesn't work for you. And don't beat yourself up if a diet proves too restrictive for you to stick with. Ultimately, a diet is only right for you if it's one you can stick with over time.
World-class weight-loss expert and author of Shred: The Revolutionary Diet Dr. Ian Smith refers to this new diet as his secret weapon because it works unlike anything else he's seen. As its name implies, the Shred Diet isn't only about weight loss — it's about reshaping your body and changing the way your clothes fit. In only six weeks, Dr. Smith claims this plan can help you lose up to 4 inches, 2 sizes and, incredibly, up to 20 pounds!
Track your progress. Weigh yourself and measure your body fat and record your results prior to beginning 30-Day Shred. Always weigh yourself first thing in the morning on an empty stomach for better accuracy. You should expect to lose an average of one to two pounds a week, maybe more, depending on your behavior, according to the Mayo Clinic. Weigh and measure your body fat once a week and not every day. Record your weekly results in a journal.
You may have an apple-shaped or a pear-shaped body structure. Accumulation of fat occurs differently for different people, it actually depends on the body structure. For those whose bodies are pear-shaped, the fat tends to accumulate in the lower part of the body, like the buttocks. But for those whose bodies are apple-shaped, your body tends to store fat around the middle section, thus resulting in fat accumulation around the belly. You must know that there are two types of belly fat – visceral, which accumulates around the abdominal organs, and subcutaneous, which occurs between the skin and abdominal wall.
Eat Breakfast Every Day. One habit that's common to many people who have lost weight and kept it off is eating breakfast every day. "Many people think skipping breakfast is a great way to cut calories, but they usually end up eating more throughout the day, says Elizabeth Ward, MS, RD, author of The Pocket Idiot's Guide to the New Food Pyramids. "Studies show people who eat breakfast have lower BMIs than breakfast-skippers and perform better, whether at school or in the boardroom." Try a bowl of whole-grain cereal topped with fruit and low-fat dairy for a quick and nutritious start to your day.

1. Many thanks to IBM Watson for sponsoring our first-ever Inside AI Live conference last month in San Francisco, and to our sponsors Talla, Half Court Ventures, and LAUNCH. Today we're presenting the talk, "Autonomous AI and Tolerable Error Rate," from Tobenna Arodiogbu, co-founder and CEO of Scotty Labs.
San Francisco-based Scotty Labs is a driving company spun out of SRI International that's building an autonomous trucking solution. Unlike other companies in the self-driving industry, Scotty is not a believer in the idea of getting the driver out of the truck as soon as possible, says CEO Tobenna Arodiogbu. "There are a bunch of steps we need to take before we get there," he explains.
At Scotty Labs, Arodiogbu says they always have to think about how much testing is enough to bring their autonomous trucks to market.
In the case of building autonomous vehicles, the tolerable response time is under 100 milliseconds. That means there are no shortcuts; you have to have a really good product, he says. For the past two years, Scotty has been building its products, testing them in simulations, testing them on private roads and then public roads.
Rather than thinking about ways to increase the acceptable error rate or response time, Scotty narrowed the operational design domain of the products.
"We're not trying to build something that works everywhere," Arodiogbu says. "We're not trying to build something that takes the truck driver out of the truck."
The specific problems the company wants to tackle first are, how do they extend driver hours of service, and how do you increase the comfort and safety of the driver? That means their testing is limited to specific roads and highways and weather conditions, with no driving at nighttime or above 55 mph.
In addition, if you're building a product with a low tolerable error rate, that means you need a lot of capital, Arodiogbu says. "All AI products are not created equal," he adds.
To watch all of Arodiogbu's presentation, check out the full video here.

The Right to Keep Personal Data Private: Carpenter v. U.S.
The Supreme Court could in this case make major strides in ensuring that Fourth Amendment protections keep pace with advancing technology.
In 2011, FBI agents in Detroit obtained several months' worth of location records from cellphone companies for suspects in a robbery investigation — all without a warrant. They were able to do so because of an outdated legal theory called the "third-party doctrine" that has been used by law enforcement to access personal data without ever having to demonstrate probable cause to a judge.
Infographic: A Surveillance Time Machine
Timothy Carpenter, represented by the ACLU, argues that the government violated his Fourth Amendment rights when it obtained his location records without a warrant. The court's decision in the case will also have implications for the extent of the Constitution's protections against warrantless search and seizure of much of the private data collected and stored by current technologies.
What is this case about?
Every time a cellphone makes or receives a call or text message or accesses a wireless data connection — as when it automatically checks for emails or social media messages — the phone company logs and retains a record of the phone's location based on the cell tower and cellular antenna the phone was connected to. The volume and precision of that location data has increased over time, and today, cellphone location data can paint a detailed picture of where we go over the course of days, weeks, and months. The question in this case is whether the Fourth Amendment protects that data by requiring police to get a search warrant from a judge before requesting it from the phone company.
What is the third-party doctrine and why does it matter?
The third-party doctrine says that by sharing information or records with a "third party," meaning a business or another person, a person gives up any reasonable expectation that the information will remain private. The doctrine was established in Supreme Court cases from the 1970s, which reasoned that without an expectation of privacy, there is no Fourth Amendment protection for certain records voluntarily shared with businesses, such as canceled checks sent to a bank or phone numbers dialed on a phone and transmitted over a phone company's equipment. The government, along with some lower courts, have extended that principle to cover all kinds of sensitive digital records. But as Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote several years ago, "[t]his approach is ill suited to the digital age, in which people reveal a great deal of information about themselves to third parties in the course of carrying out mundane tasks."
How would this case affect data collection beyond cellphones?
If the justices were to apply the government's 1970s-era view of the third-party doctrine to cellphone location data, it could throw open a huge array of highly sensitive digital records to warrantless access by police. Today, our most sensitive records aren't necessarily held in homes and cabinets. They're held by third parties. The contents of emails, text messages, and social media messages are stored by companies like Google, Verizon, and Facebook; family photos reside with Apple, Flickr, and the like; and information about health conditions, relationships, finances, political opinions, sexual orientation, and daily habits is stored on servers of the many companies that provide internet service and smartphone apps. And as the "internet of things" begins to take off, we will see information about the interior of our homes and the state of our bodies being constantly collected and stored in the cloud. It is critical that the Supreme Court explain that the Fourth Amendment protections these kinds of data.
What are the options before the Supreme Court?
The broad question before the court is whether law enforcement's warrantless acquisition of historical cellphone location data violates the Fourth Amendment. If the court decides that this constitutes a Fourth Amendment search, it could further rule that a warrant is required -- as it should — or it could send the case back to the lower court for further consideration. This is the latest in a series of recent cases in which the Supreme Court has made clear that interpretations of the Fourth Amendment must keep up with evolving technology. The court's decision will set a precedent for years to come, making it crucial that it ensures that the police are subject to limits on search and seizure in the digital age.

I hear u loud and clear. I'm not quite clear on how this isnt a pressing issue. Over the last 2 years these isssues r getting broader. We need to nip it in the butt and narrow down the safest plan for citizens in the US. Wish the news would stop giving civilians distractions that r unproductive and irresponsible and down right dangerous. It ain't about the money, is about serenity and peace of mind America

First of all thank you so much for this share 'The Right to Keep Personal Data Private'!
I must read it. Why because today we are in the generation of technology. then we should have the awareness on the topic about privacy. Most of them are with lack of awareness on that 'is our privacy or secrets are private?'. So the scope of this topic is not at all a simple one. I was asking with https://essayreviewratings.com/ for a topic to write an essay. I think I can choose this topic 'data privacy' as my essay subject.

Tahun Baru Di Villa Puncak
Menjelang tahun baru kakak kesatu ku ngajak nginep semalam di villa Puncak, tepatnya tanggal 30-31 Desember 2016, hari Jumat-Sabtu. Aku inginkan dong, lagipula dibayarin. Rencananya peserta tiga keluarga, jumlah totalnya 10 orang. Kenapa gak sekalian tahun baruan di Puncak aja? Karena yang bayarin cuma dapat hari itu, lagian gak terdapat tradisi merayakan tahun baru di keluargaku. Aku bertugas nyari villa di puncak, saat tersebut hari Selasa, agak pesimis sebab dadakan banget, menilik saat tersebut masa liburan sekolah dan cuti akhir tahun. Untunglah di di antara situs booking hotel online dapet pun yang cocok dengan kebutuhan. Lokasinya dekat Kota Bunga Cipanas, villa 4 kamar istirahat dengan 2 kamar mandi. Dan kalo diperlukan ada 1 kamar istirahat dengan kamar mandi dalam yang dapat dipakai dengan ongkos tambahan. Yang pun penting terdapat mesin karaoke…yeayy!!
Aku baru dapat pergi sesudah suami sholat Jumat. Dan ternyata bisa kabar kakak keduaku dan keluarganya seketika berhalangan hadir, wahh…jadi ada keunggulan kamar dong, tidak cukup seru peserta gak lengkap. Padahal kakak keduaku udah nyiapin konsumsi guna kita nginep, gimana ini nasib makan-makan kita? Aku yang saat tersebut udah dijalan hanya bawa mie instan, telor, dan roti, maklum anak bungsu biasa tau beres, bercita-cita dari kakak-kakak aja. Kakak kesatu ku dan keluarganya udah nyampe villa duluan, ngajak santap diluar aja nanti, males masak.
Aku hingga di villa senja hari, perjalanan ke Puncak lumayan lancar, meski Jalan Raya Puncak sempat terdapat buka tutup diluar jadwal biasa, gak apa deh nunggu di pinggir jalan demi kelancaran. Kami sempat lewat jalur pilihan dekat pasar Ciawi tembus di Cisarua, namun gak aku sarankan deh, jalannya sempit, tidak sedikit beloknya dan nyaris di masing-masing belokan ada warga yang jaga dan meminta uang, serasa berputar-putar tanpa akhir. Akhirnya kami pulang ke jalan utama menantikan arah ke atas dimulai di pinggir jalan. Ternyata meski menjelang tahun baru gak terdapat kemacetan parah laksana yang kami duga sebelumnya, alhamdulillah. Villanya juga mudah ditemukan, sebab satu-satunya yang bagus dan baru di renovasi dalam komplek tersebut. Tetangga di sekitarnya lokasi tinggal lama semua. Di dalam villa pun terawat baik dan bersih. Ada balkon lumayan luas di lantai 2 dengan pemandangan ladang sayur dan gunung, ok banget. Kekurangannya, di informasi dalam website online ada empang renang bareng di komplek villa tersebut, ternyata kolamnya telah tidak pantas pakai, kotor dan agak spooky malah. Akhirnya acara utama kami karaokean deh.
Malam hari sesudah sholat maghrib rencananya kami akan santap malam di Warung Nasi Alam Sunda depan komplek villa tersebut, bermukim jalan kaki. Penasaran pengen coba, menyaksikan cabang warung tersebut tidak sedikit banget di wilayah Puncak. Dan turunlah hujan lebat…huhu…jadinya santap mie instan pake telor deh. Ada ekstra chicken cordon bleu dari kakakku, bermukim dihangatkan di microwave. Untungnya peralatan santap dan masak di villa ini lumayan lengkap. Abis santap karaokean lagi deh sampe tidur. Ternyata Puncak udah gak sedingin dulu, sejumlah kali kami terbangun sebab kepanasan, seluruh kamar di villa itu tanpa AC. Udah saatnya kalo cari villa lagi di Puncak pastikan kamarnya ber-AC.
Paginya anda sarapan pake roti, telor, mie instan (lagi), dan nasi goreng, iyaa…kakakku bawa beras dan di villa terdapat magic com. Sambil nunggu masa-masa check in di villadipuncak.info anda leyeh-leyeh aja di villa.
