This study investigates the effects of mHealth interventions on sustainable behavior change and weight loss, drawing on in-app user activity data and online survey data. Specifically, we focus on the interactions within mobile support groups in Noom, an mHealth application for obesity intervention, to delve into how social support from facilitators and peers may play differential roles in promoting health outcomes. The results of structural equation modeling (N = 301) demonstrated that (a) perceived facilitator support was positively associated with group members' health information acquisition such as fitness-themed article reading whereas perceived peer support was positively linked to group participation such as posting and responding; (b) perceived peer support was positively related to normative influence among group members, which subsequently increased group members' responses to others' posts; and (c) health information reading and in-group posting promoted weight loss; however, merely responding to others' posts did not lead to weight-loss success. The findings suggest that the complementary influences of facilitators and peers must be considered to enhance the efficacy of support group interventions.

I bought wood flooring from someone and half the product came in with forklift damage and the other half with cuts and holes on the floor boards. The flooring is unusable. I have made a chargeback with my credit card as the vendor would not fix the issue. I also made a shipping insurance claim on the forklift damage (although is was prob damaged prior to shipping). The shipping company gave me an insurance refund on the boxes that were damaged. Am I allowed to do what I want with the damaged flooring from shipping? The vendor is threaten me that he will sue me for theft of property when he shipped me everything. He has not responded at all to my credit card company so the dispute is still not finalized and they say he has up to 1 year.
Hold on to that insurance reimbursement as you will owe that money back to the vendor if your chargeback succeeds.
What did the vendor say when you offered to return (allow him to pick up) the product?
I think Zigner's hinting you might want to review the UCC. 2-602 might be a good place to start. It's short so keep on reading until they no longer seem to apply.
I told the credit card company I got money from the insurance claim and that I do not want to dispute that amount. They made a note, but still say they are waiting for his response and he is purposefully not responding. Am I allowed to do what I want with the damaged floors I got paid for already?
Honestly, I would keep everything intact (including not spending the insurance money) until the whole issue is resolved.
Long process. I bought the floors in March and 1 month later before he shipped after he kept saying he would ship every other day. So he first responded he would work it out then 2 weeks went by with no response so I called the credit card company. This guy is a conman. Once he seen his money gone he tried to contact me asking how much was wrong and where the wood is. The credit card company said I do not need to respond to him. He finally got mad and threatened to sue me.
Keep going, at least, through all of part 6.
Ive been living is a storage shed for 3 months and still have to keep waiting? Its not right.
Thanks! I am looking through it. What is the reasonable amount of time to hold on and store the wood for him? Do I have to respond to him where the wood is or can he contact my credit card like he is supposed to?
Thanks! I am looking through it. What is the reasonable amount of time to hold on and store the wood for him?
Based on all the facts and circumstances, what do you think a jury might find reasonable?
Do I have to respond to him where the wood is or can he contact my credit card like he is supposed to?
You duties may differ under the law and under your credit card contract. I would respond to him. Always act as though a jury is looking over your shoulder.
The problem is he is a conman. I honestly think he was trying to get someone local to come pick everything up and then tell the credit card company he wants me to send everything back and I wouldnt have anything. I dont even want to talk with him anymore unless I'm forced to. I asked my credit cards company and they said I do not need to talk with him at all at this point.
Are you asking if you can hide the product from him AND collect a chargeback?
No- the credit card company said he can ask for the flooring back so I had been holding it for the last 2 months. I want him to take the junk! But I want him to respond to the credit card company like he is supposed to. As for the boxes that are damaged and I got the insurance money for I am not sending those boxes back and he can have the money for it like I told the credit card company. I do not want to talk to him directly to have one of his personal friends come to my house.


03 Jan Year of the Dragon!
As we in the West put away our party hats, noise makers, aspirin and eye drops and start the work of the new year, the Chinese are getting ready to celebrate. Chinese New Year is January 23, 2012 and 2012 is the year of the Dragon!
People born under the Dragon are passionate, brave and self-assured. Dragons in general are blessed with good fortune. They are smart, enterprising and have a wicked sense of humor. They also have a natural flair for fashion. Wealth is also an important aspect of the Chinese zodiac. Dragon years are lucky for anyone thinking of starting a business or initiating a new project of any sort because money is easier to come by for everyone, whether it's earned, borrowed or received as a gift.
This brings us to why I am blogging about the Chinese New Year and the year of the Dragon. As many of you know I have been working in China and in Asia for about a year and a half. Business has done very well and I am very please with the clients I have, the people I have placed and the relationship I have developed. It is no mistake, however, that I have chosen the year of the Dragon to establish my business in China. I am hoping the luck of the Dragon will smile on my endeavors in China and beyond.
But that is for next year. For now, enjoy the spirit of the New Year. Welcome longevity, wealth and prosperity and eliminate any negative chi from your past. Enjoy your family and the best of luck to you and yours.
You can learn more about the Chinese New Year here.

In the first presentation of The Bishop's Year of Engineering, Richard A. Platt, designer, artist, and retired Manatee County Engineering teacher, will share how advanced engineering and manufacturing technology is becoming accessible to all, thus ushering in a new age of American innovation.
With a B.A. in Visual and Applied Design from University of Houston – Clear Lake, Richard Platt began his career many years ago at NASA designing for the Space Shuttle program using a million dollar CAD system. He went on to used his CAD and computing expertise at Intergraph, Silicon Graphics, Compaq, Bentley Systems, and Dassault Systemes, before becoming an engineering teacher in Florida and Texas, including at Southeast High School, Braden River High School, and Buffalo Creek Middle School in Manatee County. Richard inspired and guided his students to win national and international competitions in engineering using today's advanced manufacturing technology, and continues to support engineering access in his retirement.

The Onboard Hardware page is not applicable to the BCM450 Digital Gateway.
The UCX Digital Gateway is equipped with four analog station interfaces (ports). If you want to connect analog devices (e.g., an analog phone) to your UCx Digital Gateway, you have to enable these interfaces.
From the Enabled FXS Ports drop-down list box, select the desired number of analog ports that are to be enabled and press the Save Changes button to update the system configuration.
If you did not have any analog ports enabled prior to this action, you will hear a click from the gateway. This click is expected - the sound is generated by a relay that enables analog ports when it is engaged for the first time after each gateway startup.
Note: If you previously enabled analog ports but no longer use them, it is recommended to change the number of enabled interfaces to the number that you actually use. Doing so saves system resources that can be used when making calls.


The Artist creates things out of thin air. To them, the world is a blank canvas. And it's their calling to fill it out. These frames are RX-able and can be brought to your local optician should you require prescription lenses.
