Research Highlight: Blue Light Special
In the ocean, many bioluminescent organisms illuminate their surroundings in flashes lasting only a tenth of a second. One tubeworm, however, is the compact lightbulb of the seas, possessing a unique ability to keep its blue light glowing for hours, and sometimes days on end.
The parchment tubeworm Chaetopterus secretes thick glowing mucus when disturbed by predators, but why and how the mucus glows is a mystery. The worm usually lives in a tube that it builds in the mud, sometimes in sunlit shallow areas of the ocean where light production is only necessary at nighttime, when it could have powerful defensive functions.
While understanding why the light is produced is an important ongoing question, learning how the light is produced and maintained may be equally important: this could potentially provide the key to a biological source of "everlasting" light.
Researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego are working to discover the secret behind the worm's glow. The group's overall goal: to learn about natural processes and mimic them to improve biotechnology. Uncovering the unique mechanism used by the worm to produce long-lasting light in a natural material could have great potential in a range of applications including biomedical diagnostics among others.
In a study led by former Scripps postdoctoral researcher Renu Rawat and published in the journal Scientific Reports Nov. 10, the Scripps scientists discovered that the worm's mucus contains large amounts of a common iron-binding protein called ferritin. This enables the worm's sustained light production, propose the authors.
This is the first time that ferritin, a ubiquitous iron-binding protein was shown to be involved in producing bioluminescence.
Some unique features of the worm's bioluminescence provided clues that led the researchers to the discovery. The light is produced in the worm's secreted mucus, which is unusual. In other organisms it is most often produced inside of cells, supported by metabolic processes and linked to oxygen consumption. This is not the case for the mucus that, oddly, has high iron content.
"Light production in organisms usually relies on oxygen. So if you remove the oxygen, there is no light. In this worm, you remove oxygen and there is light," said the paper's senior author, Scripps marine biologist Dimitri Deheyn. Furthermore "most systems use calcium as a co-factor for light production. In this worm, it's not calcium, it's iron. If you remove iron, there is no light."
This led the researchers to surmise that a new reaction involving iron-binding proteins, functional in the absence of oxygen, was responsible for light production.
After devising methods for working with the thick and difficult-to-study mucus, the scientists discovered that three major proteins were present in the glowing mucus. One of them was ferritin.
Ferritin is found in nearly all living organisms. It regulates iron in cells by storing and releasing it in a controlled manner. However, finding it in extracellular mucus was unexpected
The researchers' experiments continued to point towards ferritin as an essential protein for light production. When the mucus was analyzed, all parts that produced light appeared to contain ferritin. Furthermore, the addition of trace metals known to interfere with ferritin activity impaired light production in the mucus similarly.
The authors also found a unique secretion-related gene sequence through close analysis of the ferritin's DNA sequence. The Scripps researchers were able to identify the sequence using very similar sequences from closely related tubeworms. The related worms have almost identical (99.7 percent) ferritin proteins, but do not produce light or secrete the protein, suggesting the Chaetopterus worm has uniquely repurposed the protein.
Although the ferritin protein appears to be secreted and involved in light production, it is probably not the only compound involved. The group previously isolated two compounds from the worm's mucus that were shown to possibly produce light, also known as chromophores: riboflavin and FMN (flavin mono nucleotide), both of which are known to interact with ferritin in other systems.
Research is continuing on how this unique light-producing system works.
"The ferritin appears to be the source of energy for the long-lasting glow, providing electrons to a chromophore, the light-emitting entity," said Deheyn. "Now we are going after the actual chromophore while also trying to identify the two other proteins we found in the mucus that are also part of the light production – but we don't know what they do. Ferritin, iron, flavin – every single ingredient is there, but we still don't know the exact reaction and molecule that produces the light."
The Air Force Office of Scientific Research funded the study.

Moroccans to spend Eid El Fitr at home because of Covid-19
North Africa PostMay 19, 2020 8:25 pm
After an exceptional Ramadan with closed mosques and social distancing measures to contain the coronavirus outbreak, Moroccans will have to stay in their homes during Eid El Fitr and avoid family visits after the country extended the confinement it has started in March 20 until June 10.
This means no collective Eid prayers this year and no family visits for the sake of avoiding the spread of the virus.
The lockdown extension decision was announced Monday by head of the government Saâd Eddine El Othmani who warned of the risk of contagion within families as the number of new cases kept rising because of clusters.
"We do not want the eid to turn into mourning later," El Othmani told MPs, adding that the pandemic is under control but more vigilance is needed to avert large-scale contagion, hence the need for an extra three weeks of confinement.
The general confinement spared Morocco 6000 cases and 200 deaths on a daily basis, he said, noting that infections could have reached 300,000 at least without strict measures.
Although the transmission rate (RO) has reached 0.9, this level should be kept below 1 for at least two weeks before relaxing the lockdown, he said.
Mortality has been reduced to 2.8% and the number of people requiring intensive care among the infected cases stood at 1%, he said, but more efforts should be done to further reduce these figures.
Easing the confinement could submerge the health system, he said, voicing concern over the new hotspots found recently in factories in Casablanca.
Infections within industrial units and within households represented 56% of all coronavirus cases in the country, he said.
He lauded efforts by health workers and authorities during this crisis saying "the situation is stable but not fully reassuring."
To deal with the heavy economic impact of the pandemic, Morocco will prepare a new budget that takes into account the expected growth rates and deficit and attaches priority to health, education, social protection and employment, he said.
He said Morocco has allocated 10 million dirhams ($1 million) to promote research on the virus.
Morocco has offered compensations to workers of the informal and private sector to help them wither the crisis and has deferred taxes for businesses.
To limit contagion, the education ministry has closed all schools until September and set up online distance learning platforms.
While all exams for primary, middle, and high school students were cancelled, first and second year baccalaureate exams will take place early July. University students will sit for the exams in September and resume classes in October.

Provost search committee reviews applications
The school's search for the provost and vice president for academic affairs position is now in the evaluation stage.
On Oct. 1, the provost search committee started evaluating applications that it has been receiving since mid-August.
The search committee is comprised of 18 members, with representation from faculty, staff, trustees and students. The members were all partially elected and appointed for their positions on the committee.
Since the job's advertisement was posted on Aug. 10, over 100 applications have been submitted for the committee to review. The job posting stopped running today.
The job will require candidates to be strong academic leaders and to be able to work closely with the deans of each college for the common good of the university.
Joseph Kirsch, chair and spokesperson of the search committee, said the applications are diverse in aspects like gender, academic discipline, backgrounds and even location, with international candidates applying.
"The pool of applicants, in my humble opinion, is very strong," Kirsch said. "The diversity gives us a very strong pool to look at, and the stronger the pool, the more options the committee has for selecting candidates."
The number of strong applicants to fill the job is not only good for the job itself, but for the university as a whole, Kirsch said.
"I think it suggests that Butler is well thought of out there," Kirsch said. "It's very warming to read a lot of the applications that come in."
The committee will be reviewing applications and narrowing down the options to a list of three to six candidates to submit to President Jim Danko. Danko will make the final decision on who is hired for the job.
"We are fortunate to have an outstanding search committee, and Dr. Kirsch is doing an excellent job in overseeing the search and assuring timely progress," Danko said in an email.
As the committee narrows down applications, it will also be interviewing potential candidates, which Kirsch said will likely be done through a Skype format.
Kirsch said the committee is hoping to have its narrowed-down list of applicants ready in the next month, hopefully by Thanksgiving break.
However, Kirsch said the committee won't rush the process and will take an extra week or two for evaluations if need be.
"We don't want to be so driven by a timeline that we don't do our job correctly," Kirsch said. "We want to make sure we do the process right and get the best candidate. It's as simple as that."
Other committee members are not able to speak on the matter while the search is in progress.

for Over Age 50 in Portland
Why Winning Benefits Gets Easier After 50
Your chances of qualifying for Social Security Disability benefits hinge on this question: If you can't continue in your most recent job, can you adjust to a different job?
If you show the Social Security Administration (SSA) you cannot adjust to different work, you've fulfilled a major piece of QUALIFYING FOR DISABILITY.
This gets easier to prove as you get older. Dan Emery and his team of disability advocates WILL HELP YOU establish your case with the SSA.
How Turning 50 Helps Your Disability Appeal
After age 50, the SSA considers it harder for you to adjust to new kinds of work. That moves you closer to winning benefits.
Between ages 50 and 54, the SSA says you're "closely approaching advanced age" and gets more lenient in deciding whether you can switch careers.
The average age of people receiving disability benefits in 2016 was about 54.
For younger people, the SSA thinks age won't have much effect on adapting to different work.
So if a health problem stops you from doing your job when you're under 50, you still face a major test in showing you can't do another job based on your education, background and skills.
It doesn't matter to the SSA if you can find that other kind of job, or if that job pays as well as the one you had to leave because of your medical condition.
Consider an example: A 46-year-old man works in construction. He hurts his back and can't keep doing his physically demanding job.
In the SSA's eyes, he could switch to a less physical job, like doing clerical work in an office. His BENEFITS ARE DENIED.
If the construction worker is 50 or older when he hurts his back, however, he may only need to show the SSA he can't keep doing construction jobs.
When he reaches age 55 or older, the rules lean even more in his favor.
At that age, the SSA is increasingly likely to determine that his career stage combined with his physical condition will keep him from shifting to other work.
He faces less pressure to prove he couldn't perform a more sedentary job.
Do You Need A Lawyer?
Yes. Although you can appeal a denial without a lawyer, help from an experienced professional will improve your chances.
Contact Dan Emery today to start your appeal in Maine »
Do You Qualify?
Social Security has a strict definition of "disabled."
Learn how the system works»
Your Long Experience Could Make a Difference
A longer work history also could work to your benefit if you're over 50.
The Social Security Disability program is reserved for people who worked and contributed to the system through paycheck deductions.
In the eyes of someone at the SSA evaluating your claim, a strong, extensive work history could give you more credibility.
You've already shown yourself to be a dedicated, longtime hard worker.
Because of that, an SSA official might be more likely to believe you've truly suffered a medical condition that makes it impossible for you to work.
Get an Experienced Lawyer
When you're looking at Social Security Disability for over age 50 in Portland, make sure you take advantage of the special considerations the SSA gives you.
You'll need to document your situation and understand how all the rules apply to you.
The system is complicated and difficult to tackle alone. At the Law Office of Dan Emery, we know how to ensure you get the best chance at winning benefits.

People! How are you? I went a full week without reading even a single page of a book and it was very, very weird. This is what happens when a) you are learning a new job, b) you are sick, c) the weather finally turns nice after months of rain, and d) you combine a+b+c. But my cold is gone, I'm settled at work, and we have so much sunshine in the forecast that I shall quickly learn to take it for granted. Bring on the books!
The Scribe of Siena by Melodie Winawer – one of the highlights of my new job is its proximity to a huge bookstore. On rainy days (of which there have been many this year) I can duck in there and read during my lunch break. It was on one of those rainy days that I came across this novel about a time-travelling neurosurgeon. The start was promising and my love of Siena was enough to convince me that I wanted to keep reading (just not enough to buy it – thank you library!).
Zinky Boys by Svetlana Alexievich – Alexievich's extraordinary oral history of Soviet women's experiences during WWII (The Unwomanly Face of War) will undoubtedly make it onto my Best of 2018 list. But it's also inspired me to try more of her work, like this oral history of the war in Afghanistan.
The English Wife by Lauren Willig – I've enjoyed some of Willig's books in the past so automatically placed a hold on this when I heard it was coming out. But now that it's here I'm a bit worried it's too gothic for me (to be fair, my tolerance for all things gothic is extraordinarily low). We shall see!
Summer Hours at the Robbers Library by Sue Halpern – did I know anything about this book when I placed a hold on it? Nope. Marketing departments take note: all I require in order to be intrigued by a book is the mention of a library. That's how easy it is. Now that I've actually learned what the book is about, I'm even more intrigued.
Dancing Bears by Witold Szabłowski – NPR had an interesting interview with Szabłowski that got me interested in this account of people struggling to adjust to life after communism.
Emma Ever After by Brigid Coady – ever the optimist, I will always try anything Austen-related. Particularly, as in this case, when it's a modern retelling of Emma. My favourite Austen book is the hardest to retell so my expectations are low.
Istanbul & Beyond by Robyn Eckhardt – a beautifully photographed collection of recipes from across Turkey.
Curries and Bugles by Jennifer Brennan – I read about this in More Home Cooking by Laurie Colwin back in 2016 and, with my love of all things Raj-related, have been trying to find a copy ever since. Thanks to the inter-library loan system, I've finally got my hands on it.
Queen Bees by Siân Evans – to meet my never-sated appetite for inter-war gossip, I picked up this profile of six London society hostesses.
Oo, I've had The Unwomanly Face of War on my TBR list for a while, I'm also intrigued by an oral history of the war in Afghanistan! Afghanistan has intrigued me since my husband was deployed there back in 2011. He was a linguist, so he spent a lot of time talking to people and learning their culture, and passed a lot of that on to me. That's part of why I liked Rory Stewart's book about walking through Afghanistan so much!
I started it last night and it is predictably excellent!
I'm debating reading Zinky Boys too. Will be looking forward to your thoughts on it!
So far, it's very, very good.
As always, your list has me intrigues. I just finished Peggy Hesketh's "Telling the Bees".
Thanks, Penny. Hope you enjoyed the Hesketh book.
That book by Sue Halpern looks mighty interesting!
I don't think it's anything particularly special but it does look like an interesting way to pass a few hours.

New biomethane dual fuel solution will help decarbonize U.S. Class 8 trucking industry
American Power Group Corporation announced the commercial launch of their next generation V6000 low-carbon vehicular dual fuel solution which when using low-carbon and negative-carbon renewable natural gas sources can enable the Class 8 trucking industry to convert existing Class 8 diesel trucks to "green" low-carbon or negative-carbon rated fleets.
APG utilized EcoEngineers, a well-respected Des Moines, Iowa based renewable energy consulting firm specializing in clean energy regulations to conduct an independent third-party review and validation of APG's calculated carbon intensity (CI) score utilizing APG's V6000 dual fuel solution and multiple renewable natural gas sources. EcoEngineers' areas of practice include major carbon markets such as the EPA's Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) and California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS). EcoEngineers validated APG's positions that by utilizing its V6000 solution and displacing 50-60% of diesel consumption with biomethane from dairy manure, the estimated CI score of the fuel would be between -104 to -145 gC02e/MJ and avoid between 500 to 610 metric tons of CO2 per year per vehicle.
"There are approximately 2 million late-model Class 8 diesel trucks operating in the U.S. Assuming an estimated CO2 reduction of 500 metric tons per truck per year utilizing APG's V6000 dual fuel solution and dairy renewable natural gas, the potential positive impact on the environment would be in the range of 1 billion metric tons of CO2 reduction per year. This is an addressable carbon reduction opportunity that needs to be supported at all federal and state GHG program levels," said Lyle Jensen, APG's Business Development Advisor.
Chuck Coppa, APG's CEO/CFO stated, "We strongly believe that our new V6000 dual fuel solution utilizing renewable natural gas has the potential to be a game-changer from both a carbon and diesel emission reduction perspective, helping companies meet their Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) objectives today. In addition, we estimate that for the same cost of one new Class 8 dedicated natural gas truck, we can convert approximately 25 existing Class 8 diesel trucks."
Matt Van Steenwyk, APG's Chairman also commented, "This is a huge opportunity to drive the scale up of U.S. and worldwide renewable natural gas production from animal waste and other organics by utilizing APG's cost effective V6000 dual fuel solution."

Child dies after Christmas parade accident in Mt. Juliet
by: WKRN Web Staff and Stassy Olmos
MT. JULIET, Tenn. (WKRN) — A seven-year-old boy struck by a trailer being towed by a pick-up truck at the Mt. Juliet Christmas parade has died from his injuries, investigators said.
Officers with the Mt. Juliet Police Department were alerted around 12:20 p.m. Saturday to an injured child in the back parking lot of Mt. Juliet Middle School.
Units are on-scene and handling a crash, behind MJ Middle School, involving a child pedestrian who was struck by a trailer as it was towed through the parking lot after completing the Christmas Parade. With any serious injury crash in our city, @THPNashville is investigating.
— Mt. Juliet Police (@MtJulietPolice) December 14, 2019
Due to the severity of the child's injuries, Tennessee Highway Patrol responded to investigate.
A crash report released by Highway Patrol indicates the driver was traveling at a "low rate of speed" through the parking lot and was preparing to unload passengers from a trailer after the parade. A child riding on the trailer fell off and was struck by the tires, the report states.
The child was transported to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital with critical injuries, investigators explained.
Prayer circle forms following incident at Mt. Juliet Christmas parade
A witness and family friend identified the child as Rowan Frensley and said the seven-year-old's father was driving. When the father backed up, he said it appeared the child was sucked underneath and run over.
"Our hearts are very heavy with deep sadness over today's tragic loss of a W.A. Wright Elementary student," Wilson County Schools spokesperson, Bart Barker said in a statement released Saturday night. "We lift our strongest prayers for the family during this extremely difficult time and encourage others to keep W.A. Wright Elementary in their thoughts and prayers as well."
A GoFundMe page has been set up to help Rowan's family. A candlelight vigil is also planned for 4 p.m. Sunday at Mt. Juliet Middle School.
The investigation into the incident is ongoing.

1. WHETHER TO CALL WITNESSES ROILS TRUMP'S TRIAL The impeachment trial is shifting to questions from senators, a pivotal juncture as Republicans lack the votes for now to block witnesses — potentially scuttling plans for a quick acquittal.
by ALBERT AJI and BASSEM MROUE, Associated Press / Jan 29, 2020
DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Syrian government forces captured one of the largest and most strategic rebel-held towns in the country's northwest, the Syrian military and opposition activists said Wednesday, part of a Russian-backed military assault that has displaced hundreds of thousands of people fleeing to safer areas.
The town of Maaret al-Numan in Idlib province, which had been in rebel hands since 2012, sits on the highway linking Damascus with Aleppo and is considered critical to President Bashar Assad's forces. The town is now largely empty as a result of intense bombardment in recent weeks.

I'm sure we complained about the amount of room and somebody in all seriousness suggested setting the drums up on the pool table....my Marshalls are on the pool table (even though they look like they're floating) so that gives you an idea of how much room there wasn't! It really is all the fun of the fair when you're dealing with people like that. I think the accidents played after us (changed their name to Shotgun something??) and people were shouting for us to get up again during their set.

foz Says –
i think this gig was with a band called something like "dmob"..the singer looked a bit like the honey monster and the band was pretty much punk by numbers and sounded like everything else.....the setting up on the pool table was a joking request by the accidents (from a previous gig) which darran took lterally for a minute...before we all laughed that is.
Darran Says –
Ha! I remember the 'pool table' incident......it was some pub in Bolton, like a shoe box....I asked 1 of Shotgun Solution (or were they The Accidents, then?) where the kit was going, and deadpan, he goes "Landlord said to set it up on the pool table. We need to put the board on it first though, will you give us a hand?", and I goes "Yeah".......then he just smirked, and I knew the twat'd had me........oh, how we laughed.

Payments drop but errors don't, group says.
In spite of a small jump last year, medical malpractice payments seem to be trending downward, although medical errors remain a major problem, according to a report from the consumer group Public Citizen.
But the American Medical Association, a longtime critic of the consumer group and its methods, questioned the validity of the report.
While noting a small increase in malpractice payments, the first in a decade, Public Citizen said it is troubled by the overall decline in the volume and value of such claims over the last 15 years, because it found no sign that the actual incidence of medical errors is falling. If anything, the group said, "the actual crisis over avoidable medical errors is worse than we ever knew."
Public Citizen attributed the drop in payments to medical practitioners who have been "feverishly advocating" for caps on damages since the early 2000s.
"Despite rhetoric about 'frivolous lawsuits,' the vast majority of medical malpractice payments compensate for injuries that no one would deem frivolous," the report noted.
Three-fifths of all payments in 2013 were associated with negligence that led to "significant permanent injury, major permanent injury, quadriplegia, brain damage, the need for lifelong care, or death."
The number of malpractice payments grew from 9,370 in 2012 to 9,677 in 2013, according to the group's analysis of data from the federal government's National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB). These figures look paltry compared with the 16,565 payments reported in 2001.
Public Citizen noted in its report that the percentage of medical malpractice payments made on behalf of hospitals, instead of physicians, was not included in the NPDB data.
The value of payments also rose from $3.1 billion in 2012 to $3.3 billion in 2013. However, this 3.7% increase is negated when the figures are converted to actual and inflation-adjusted dollars, according to Public Citizen's analysis. For comparison, in 1991, the total value of medical malpractice payments on behalf of doctors in inflation-adjusted dollars was $3.6 billion, while in 2001 it was $5.8 billion.
The consumer group contrasted these waning payments with large numbers of "avoidable adverse events" in hospitals, drawing on a variety of data sources.
Medical errors weren't the group's only issue. Public Citizen also highlighted a decrease in medical liability insurance rates, which undermine physicians' complaints about the burden of malpractice insurance.
"[C]ombined liability premiums paid by physicians and medical institutions fell from $10 billion in 2012 to $9.8 billion in 2013," the group reported, citing data from A.M. Best, an insurance rating agency.
Rates vary according to the region and provider, noted the report, which provided a few examples including the Doctors Company, where rates fell 35% between 2005 and 2013, according to SNL Insurance Daily, an industry news site.
A representative of the American Medical Association told MedPage Today via email that any study using data from the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) was "inherently flawed." The spokesperson added, "The Government Accountability Office has determined that the NPDB is riddled with duplicate entries, inaccurate data, and incomplete and inappropriate information."
The Public Citizen report and NPDB data also excluded the 65% of medical liability claims that have been "dropped, withdrawn, or dismissed," according to the AMA spokesperson. The expense of dropped claims accounts for 38% of total defense costs, the AMA said, citing data from the Physicians Insurers Association of America (PIAA).
"Less than 10% of medical liability claims were decided by a trial verdict, and the vast majority of them -- 89% -- were won by the physician defendant in the case," the spokesperson added.
Douglas Merrill, MD, of Dartmouth College in Hanover, N.H., said the report was an overly simplistic interpretation of complex data.
For example, Merrill suggested, a higher number of medical errors might simply mean more errors were reported.
"As an industry, healthcare has been striving for over a decade to create a climate of self-disclosure in the certainty that this would help discover trends in risk and safety that can be addressed at a systems level and preventive changes made earlier," said Merrill, who is also director of the Center for Perioperative Services at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, N.H. "Thus, a greater number of errors reported is potentially good news."
"No credible caregiver would say that healthcare can't be improved, whether regarding access or quality, or error rates. However, no credible healthcare analyst would use insurance data as an accurate descriptor of the need for or the intensity of those efforts."


The critical part is to choose the 4-600 municipalities and get a full understanding of what they use - and the processes the have around new desicions. When thats in place - we form some VERY SLICK timelines and satisfactiontimelines for EXISTING, NEW and CITSEN CULTURE. (Sounds a bit easier then it is).

If you hadn't noticed, radios are still holding their own, albeit in a more modern form than a 90s beatbox but holding their own nonetheless.
The Pure Elan E3 (A$129) is a new digital radio that has landed on Aussie shores. It's a small device that has 40 presets with an auxiliary input so if the digital radio offering is getting tedious you can switch to play your own music.
The Elan E3 has all your basic radio features, several presets for favourite stations, the option for FM radio, headphone jack and antenna.
Pressing the 'source' button, you'll be given the option to press DAB, FM and AUX input.
The digital channel gives you an array of choices from your usual FM choices like Triple J or to the obscure Coles Radio.
The Elan E3 has a small 2.8-inch display menu where you can browse through digital radio stations and select the output.
When listening to the digital radio channel, clicking the select button/volume shows you what you're listening to, the frequency, what type of music it is, signal strength and signal error and the date.
There is also an option for a kitchen timer suggesting this radio could be perfect pairing with whatever is on the menu that night.
It also has an alarm with sleep and snooze features.
The Elan E3 has the option to be powered by mains or batteries so you can take this radio on the road with you.
It might be a small device but the Elan E3 has some excellent sound outage. The radio uses a bespoke 3" full range speaker powered by a digital amplifier to ensure it plays louder and clearer.
It also comes with six equalisation settings, where users can quickly adjust the tone to make all music genres sound great. Elan E3's bass, treble and loudness can also be adjusted to fulfil personal listening preferences.
This is a simple radio in terms of design sticking to a basic rectangle shape with a 2.8-inch display on the right and one speaker on the left.
The radio itself is a small device that can fit in the cosiest of spots in any room.
The Elan E3 is available in three colours: red, blue and grey. In the box you'll get the device, a power cord and instructions.
This digital FM radio is $129, a mid-range price for the audio market but a tad pricier than one would hope for this type of device.
The Pure Elan 3 does its job as a digital radio and even has a surprising amount of sound considering its size.
I found the screen showing the current song playing very handy and always think it is the small things that makes a product great.
This is digital radio is intended for those who are looking for a simple product with acceptable sound and don't need all the latest bits and pieces like smart voice control and Bluetooth connectivity.
The Pure Elan E3 is available to purchase in Australia from retailers such as Myer for A$129.00.

Wage Equality in the Equality State
On my way to the Jonah today, REO Speedwagon came on the radio. It was like Shelley Simonton got into the car with me.
She loved REO Speedwagon. "And even though I wander/I'm keeping you in sight/You're the candle in the window/On a cold dark winter's night./And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might..." I could see her in a dress and boots and cowboy hat up at The Bird after a wedding one night. I can't remember if she was recounting (and by recounting, I mean singing) REO Speedwagon or if it came on in the background. Or, somehow, through some feat of Shelley magic, both.
And so I knew: Shelley was going to make sure we got this done. Shelley would have been at the Capitol with us trying to make steps towards wage equality. And she was here today. We'd win this vote.
I pulled into the Jonah and took up residence in the anteroom with George again. Tara Muir from WCADVSA, whose lobbying efforts yesterday served as a master class for those of us new to the game, was there, too. We grabbed a checklist and a pile of purple slips and started to strategize.
In the meantime, we were blessed by the Chaplain of the Day. We pledged allegiance. The House Members in the back shouted, "Play ball!" Leap Into Leadership brought this year's class into the House Gallery. Representative Sue Wilson introduced them to the Legislators. There was HUZZAH-ing, as there so often is in the House.
And, just like that, we were in session.
Jessica Jaubert did an exceptional job (as she always does) explaining Wyoming's citizen legislature and encouraging all the L2L'ers in the gallery to use the purple slips to talk to the legislators--especially about HB0084. "If you care about wage equality, send in a note and talk to your Rep about it." Tara and I kept sending in our own purple slips and hoped that some of the women would join us.
We talked to members. We got yesses. We got nos. We got wind of an amendment. And then an amendment to the amendment.
Rep. Zwonitzer, the amender of the amendment, explained that he hoped to put some of the language back into the bill if the first amendment--designed to strip out the heart of the bill--was successful. We clarified with Minority Floor Leader Connolly that we should advise members to vote YES on the bill, NO on the first amendment, and YES on the second amendment if the first amendment passes. (That's a mouthful.)
The House took up other businesses. Time passed. Bills passed. Some L2L'ers came back from their visit to the Senate. They wanted to learn how to send in the purple slips, they wanted to talk to their Reps, they wanted to help move the needle on wage equality. (If this blog had high five emojis, this is where we would put them.)
So now there were four of us. We sent in slips for four Reps. But all of a sudden, HB0084 was up for third reading NEXT, so it was unlikely that anyone would leave the floor to talk with us. But the Reps love Tara and so Rep. Furphy came out. He's pro-business and he gets it: What is good for women is good for Wyoming. Closing the wage gap is about economic development. He said he'd go back in and make the case.
We retired to the gallery for the floor debate. (Check out our twitter feed for the blow-by-blow.)
Yesses stood up and gave impassioned pleas. Nos stood up and stumped for the status quo. The amendment's sponsor, Rep. Clem made lengthy final remarks. He repeated misinformation about the gender wage gap. He stated that more men than women go into high paying professions, so when you compare men's earnings to women's earnings you find a gap. (Fact check: False. That is not how the research is conducted or how the data is analyzed. The R&P report does a 1:1 comparison wherever possible and uses regression analyses elsewhere.) He stated that men work more hours than women because women prefer to be with their families. (Fact check: Mostly false. Men do often work more overtime than women. That has more to do with systemic expectations, asymmetry in the division of caregiving, and the number of single parent families headed by women.) The women in the gallery--and there were many--were not amused. They resisted the urge to boo.
The chair called the question: On amendment one. How do you vote? AYE! NO!
Who could tell? Yesterday's vote was a tie. We would have to wait for the headcount. One of those instants that feels like an entire geologic epoch. They stood for the headcount. When all the heads were counted: 28 for the amendment, 29 against, and the amendment failed. Rep Zwonitzer stood and withdrew his amendment. We took a deep breath as the chair moved the bill to third reading.
As always, third reading is a roll call vote so that everyone can hear all the yesses and the nos one by one. We clicked through the list. AYE. AYE. AYE. NO. And on until the votes were tallied: 39-18-2-0. Motion carries.
There was cheering. (Or, at least in my mind there was cheering. But I am pretty sure there was cheering.) The room felt electric. Just two days prior, it did not feel hopeful. It did not feel like Wyoming wanted to welcome businesses or welcome women or to take a step forward.
But here we are. Thanks to all of you for taking the time to take up the fight! There is more to be done, but this is a huge step forward.
Postscript: Several people suggested today that I register as a lobbyist. Too many days in the anteroom, I guess. So when I got back to the hotel for the day, I searched how to register. On the Secretary of State's site, it asks you to put in your name to make sure you are not already in the system. So I typed in SIMON. And up popped one name: Shelley Simonton.
Thanks, Shelley.

Q: How to launch Skype using Javascript automatically I know to open skype using its special commands in html to chat, for example:
Chat

One can click on "Chat" and it will launch Skype if it is installed.
However, I want to check if a customer is login to OUR SITE before he is able to chat.  Once the person is login, I would like to launch Skype with a Javascript function so that he does not have to click on the "Chat" link to start Skype.  So basically launching skype:some_skype_user?chat automatically.  It must be something simple, but I can't seem to find any answer. Thanks in advance.

A: Try 'redirecting' to the 'link':
window.location = 'skype:some_skype_user?chat';

Edit: To use a variable in place of some_skype_user you need to concatenate it:
var skypename = 'skypeuser01';
window.location = 'skype:' + skypename + '?chat';

Measure the propensity of consumers to interrupt an ad play on TV. It still had the same yo-yo effect that I was trying to get away from. What a bunch of fools you are bout losing 50 lbs. ITs back to the drwaing board now. Our counselor would also be happy to go over the plan and help you customize your next order. So no headaches, or intollerance to such a plan.
If you've been on other diets, you can expect much of the same with this Nutrisystem 5-day plan. It's easy enough to add in some protein and veggies, the food isn't bad, and I wasn't hungry between meals. The bars taste like all the other bars, the dinners were okay Smelled bad, looked bad, tasted bad. Haven't had the Rotini yet, and after last night, I'm a little afraid. I was disappointed to find, however, that the Nutrisystem D 5-day plan marketed to diabetics contained all but two of the same meal choices.
I bought the Diabetic plan to try next week, hoping there would be different meals with lower carb content more like Atkins bars and meals. In any case, it's a great jump start to get your eating under control, and I will do it next week, but skip the Chicken Alfredo! LifetimeDieter, September 13, Highly Recommend this Starter Program!! This five-day starter box was a great start to a great program.
As with any diet, the first couple days are the hardest, but the meals are packaged wonderfully and are very convenient. The five-day starter box has a variety of different food types to give an idea of the tastes. After completing my five-day starter program, I decided to order a month supply directly from Nutrisystem.
I am pleased with the food. The only one I could live without and am not too fond of is the chicken alfredo. I do add a tad bit of garlic powder to it and that makes a world of difference. The rest of the food is pretty darn good. I'm so thrilled with my overall outcome of this sample packet, I'm biting the bullet and joining NutriSystem next week. Good luck to everyone. I know what a battle this is and I'm excited about this.
Thanks WalMart and NutriSystem for giving us the opportunity to try it before we buy it. Bearskin, July 28, I tend to have a very hard time losing weight being over 40 and having polysystic ovarian syndrome really hinder weight loss. I dont follow the diet to the letter. I usually just eat the breakfast lunch and dinner entrees plus a salad with dinner. Probably not so healthy but it is working. I was reading another article earlier about the NS diet written by a Dr.
They suggested doing the weight watchers diet. WW being a cheaper plan and you can buy it at the grocery store. A lot of people have had GI problems with NS and headaches. So if the nutrisystem diet is giving you problems consider weight watchers.
It gives you the same convenience of boxed portion controlled foods without the side effects and the very high sodium content. Good luck to everyone.
This program is not any good. The pictures look good, but the food was so bland. I was always hungry after eating. I love chocolate, but what they send you is not chocolate!!! You need to find time in your busy day to work out even if for twenty minutes a day. The only way you are going to lose weight is to get your body moving! I work as much as 80 hours per week and still find time to raise my child, have a life and workout!
You are never to busy if you want to do it! It is not a fix all and I was thinking about trying it but have decided my wil power has helped and will get me losing the weight that I would like not need to lose. I think the issue here is, whether or not Nutrisystem is a viable diet plan.
And, the food is just not edible. I gave it a go for a month, and felt lighter, but nothing significant. IT just is Not a good diet. I tried Nutrisystem almost 2 years ago wanting to lose 30 lbs. I stayed on the plan about 9 months. The food was okay, but at the time I was very motivated due to being close to my delivery weight with my first child.
However, I truely believe that this soy base system messed with my menstral cycle. All but 10 lbs are back, and and my cycle is back to normal. I did NS faithfully for 2months and did loose 20 lbs. It helps you determine food portions very well, if you are an overeater. The food I feel is pretty good and convientant but not something I could live on for a long period of time.
The downfall I found was a lot of flatulence. So it works but not fast. Being disabled and elderly I thought this would be great. Heavy on tomato usage in most if not all meals. Would not recommend it. Did not lose weight. Weight loss, no matter what kind, takes alot of hard work!
So it was really just a failure for me. I have lost 17 of the 30 lbs i need to lose and i feel great. I have been on Nurtisystem for 3 months and have lost 40 lbs.
It does work if you follow the plan. Also drinking water is key in losing the weight. I am glad I started this program. I like the convience of it. The trouble is, NutriSystem is a portion control diet and once you are off of it you dont really learn how to choose portions sizes. And also because the food is so terrible you end up wanting to eat a LOT. Nutrisystem worked for me. I never lost my pregnancy weight.
In 4 months, I lost 30 pounds with daily walking and ounces of water a day. I went from pounds to pounds. The first two weeks were horrible. My body was detoxing from everything bad I was putting into my body and portion sizes that were for someone ten times my size.
After the first month I lost 10 pounds and I knew I was on my way to a healthier lifestyle. This diet worked for me. I was running marathons, going to the gym five days a week and watching my diet before Nutrisystem and I was only able to maintain my weight. I tried it because I read a blog just like this one too. I told myself that if it worked, then I would blog it everywhere.
So i do have to agree with Amanda;s post that NutriSystem is good for teaching portion control, but so is Weight Watchers. Once I learned what a normal healthy portion size looked like, I took it from there, added some Hoodia Bites and the weight continued to come off. The craptastic food that made you fat is bad. And you can learn portion control while on the program. All you have to do is pay attention to the size of the portions that you are eating while on the program.
That means using your eyes, something that you have with you all the time. How do I know this? I lost over 70 pounds on the program and have maintained my weight loss for over a year. I too thought the food was really bad, maybe the worse I have even had. You have to really get used to the taste of the foods, and some of the deserts were tolerable. My biggest issue with the Nutri System food was that it would give me headaches. During the first week I used the product, I started getting headaches, and was told it just might be that my body has to get use to the change in my diet.
I tried the food for a few more weeks, and still thing happened but at this time I had severe headaches, were I could not function for the rest of the day. Has anyone else been receiving headaches with the Nutri System meals? I had to finally give up on this product. Alot of people complain about this being very expensive. What do they say about exercise? No pain no gain. So it hurts your pocketbook for a few months.
If you are not willing to spend any money on making yourself a thinner, happier or healthier person then obviously you want to stay heavy the rest of your life.
How much did it cost you to get fat in the first place? No more fat jeans for me!! I feel it is very affordable if you weigh the facts. Now factor in what it would cost you for a membership at the gym. You get a free exercise video with your first order from nutrisystem. There is no measuring or counting of anything you just grab a container, pop it in the microwave and eat. If you work, thats much easier than packing a lunch daily or cheaper than the cost of eating lunch out. How much easier can it be?
Where have you people been eating, at five star restaurants? The food is not bad at all. It may not taste like the food you cook at home but the food you cook makes you fat. After all the lay-offs that hav occurred in my company lately, I;m more worried about being able to pay hte mortgage, so Nutri-System is out.
I have been very pleased so far with Nutrisystem. So far, so good! I like it OK. It works for me. Is the food the best I have ever had.. I have found I like the soups the most.
Today is January 6 and I am just beginning the program. I love to cook and love to eat, and that was my problem with losing weight. While cooking I would sample this and that, and when it came down to eating with the family, I would add a second serving and a 3rd enjoying the good food and conversation, always justifying it to my family that a little more was ok and hey, healthy and organic if that was an ingredient I used. Or, that I was rushed or tired and had to eat a bit more to feel better and fill up my hunger.
I really like Nutrisystem. I am not sampling what I cook, not munching on goodies around the house, because I know what I have waiting for me for each meal and what I am allowed to have for snacks and dessert.
I needed that control and that accountability. Its already prepared and waiting for me. Its not gourmet food, but its good and filling.
If it were gourmet, there would be no stopping me from finishing it up and then some. I have tried every other diet known to man and woman, and I feel this is a good start to relearning how to eat and to control ourselves.
I found nutrisystem to be too severe and the foods to be not very good. I feel very hungry and deprived most of the time. I think about pizza and cheese fries all the time. I think i need to switch to a more moderate diet or else I am going to blow it. I think i might try the Five Factor diet bcs they let you cheat every so often.
I am looking for a Real diet now, and i just wanted to stop on here and tell yall that this is not any permannent answer. Most of you people on this blog, all you do is complaining.
Nutrisystem works, it is the cheapest delivery program out there, add it up, you eat for under 10 bux a day! Get a hobby, start exercising. My input for you all big complainers. It works, get off your lazy butts! About 2 years ago, I had very little tolerance for anyone who lacked the discipline to stick to Nutrisystem. For me, it was easy.
All i had to do was follow the instructions, and i would see resuults. Nutrisystem sent me the food, the portions were determined, I knew exactly what i had to eat, and when. In some ways, it was the easiest thing ever. By the time i finished the program, i had lost 34 lbs. In the beginning of my transition back to regular food, i did well.
I measured out all of my portions so that they would be as small as the pre-packaged meals. But then over the next year, my habits began to slowly slip. Soon, those friends of mine who i had judged before, had sympathy in their eyes for me turns out they were more compassionate toward me than i ever was to them, and for that i am grateful. For the people that have issues with they lack of weight loss…What kind of work out plan are you on?
A special meal plan will not do all the work for you, you still need to get out there and be active, it is still food and you should be doing a little extra to help yourself too! Nutrisystem is healthy meals and very convenient. After bein on the program for 3 mos, however, I founf that I only lost about 6 lbs. I am needing to loose close to 60lbs still and was expecting,to doit with this program. ITs back to the drwaing board now. It was a pretty good start for me, for learning portion control however, I did not find Nutrisystem be quite a comprehensive enought program for me.
Maybe its bcs I push myself so hard now, exerciseing, but the weights coming off faster and I actually am enjoying the process. Well I am only in my third week of Nutrisystem and literally felt like i was being starved to death.
After 2 months,I just had enough NutriSystem foods to last a lifetime. They just got old, esp. Its more toleralbe this way, to diet. Trying to lose a few: The first was for six months or so, and during that time I was able to lose 40 pounds. I did it without eating all of the extra fruit, vegetables and water that they recommend.
I went off of the diet and began comfort food and stress food eating again, gaining all of the weight back. Until my system got used to the food over several weeks, it was an unpleasant experience. The diet will work if you apply yourself to it and can manage to find something you like and stick to it. My hubby and I do not mind the food — add in fruits , veggies, yogurt as recommended and its not so bad, BUT the gas NutriSystem produces is horrible!
We avoid being in public places sometimes because it is so bad! I have fewer problems with nutrisystem than I do my own willpower. I used it for three months and lost 15 lbs. Then I went back to eating less health and some of the weight has returned. Eat the fruit and veggies you get from the store to supplement. I sometimes add the veggies to the dinner. Plus I seldom feel hungry. The basic principles are solid for the nutrisystem diet.
Whatever you decide to do, make sure you continue to eat the fruits and veggies and salad and the eight glasses of water.
Lost 2 lbs so far so, gonna stick with it and hope i lose about 8 times that next month. The NutriSystem customer service dept lies too much,i am disapointed with the program.
I have just completed week 1 of Nutrisystem and I have to say, I am surprised by how the food tastes. Honestly, if you can eat a Lean Cuisine or a Weight Watchers meal, you can eat this. I drink all my water and walk for 25 mins, 3x a week and have lost 5lbs. Just weighed in at a total of 27 lbs lost, this morning, after 2 mos of doing this my own way! If you think your going to get gourmet meals. This is not for you. Some of the food is quite good. Cheesy nachos and the super sized fries, are how we got fat.
If you want to eat a lot of food, you are going to stay fat. Cutting calories if the only way. Sorry, I love food too, but its our choice stay fat or eat less. I recently started buying some South Beach Diet meals and i enjoy the flavor of them a lot better…and for extra support i signed up for the South Beach Diet online.
I went on the NS program in and lost 40 pounds in about 3 and half months. I have manaed to keep the weight off. The first week was the worst for me because i was used to eating what i wanted when i wanted. So eating those portion controlled meals stil made me hungry. I lost 6 pounds the first week and that was my motivation to stay on the diet. The second week my stomach got used to the smaller portions. The food tasted ok. Most of it was edible. The second month i customnized my order. However I did have a problem with a few of the items I ordered not being in stock.
I exercised five days a week and sheded 3 to 4 pounds a week. The NS plan was successful for me. I went from a size to a I have been using Nutrisystem for 2 months now and have gained 2 pounds. I have been on the program now for 5 days. I am not having a problem with the taste, or dealing with hunger. The fresh vegetables, fruit,dairy, and protein I add during meal time,and snack time keeps me totally satisfied. My problam is the bloat, and gas. Does anyone know why this is happening,and if it eventually subsides.
I work in the retail industry,out in the public, so at times it is very uncomfortable. Is anyone else experiencing this, and do you know what it is from? You have to try a lot of different foods until you find the ones you like — just like any new food! How many of you that are giving this negative feedback actually supplemented this with regular exercise and I mean actually breaking a sweat, not just walking?
It seems like almost every negative post makes absolutely no mention of physical exercise. Can someone please reply that actually exercised regularly along with this and let me know your results? It sounds like all the negativity is coming from people looking for an excuse to not loose weight.
I have not had any problem following the diet and sticking to it. I have been making an effort to walk in the morning and in the evening to make sure I help boost my dead metabolism. Here is my take on Nutrisystem. I have been on it for a bit and I am mostly pleased. Certainly anyone could go to the store and buy food to equal calories a day for women and lose the weight.
So far, so good. As for maintenance, you do wean yourself off of the NS food and learn portion control as you go.
It is all in how you choose to live your life. Although portions are small, I am not starving. The food is actually better than expected, especially after reading the above reviews. Boy was I scared!!! LOL Anyway…I was wondering does it matter if you eat all the food suggested or not? I tried Nutisystem before my wedding and followed it to a T. I lost 8 pounds in one month. I really like the system, food comes to you, just grab and go for work.
Lost 20 pounds, plan on loosing 20 more. My mom is signing up this week. I even eat the dinners for lunch and lunch for dinners because the dinners have more calories and I can burn off the higher calories during work.
My snacks of course are all the chocolate items. No complaints from me. I am not sure how you people stand it, the food is just horrible! I grew up in a farm where we cook everything from scratch, I love food, some people even call me foodie, there is no way on earth I could last on the Nutrisystem. I am just gonna join a gym and and making watch my sugar and carb. I was excited to try this NutriSystem plan for the convenience mostly. However, I found the food to be absolutely horrible. It not only looks unappetizing, but tastes terrible!
I did learn about portions and what I should be eating during the day, so I plan to make my own meals, freeze in small containers. Also, had headaches and bloating, possibly due to high sodium content. My husband and I both ordered NutriSystem after we had decided to lose a little weight. When we first got the food, we were excited, but then quickly realized that we had been fooled.
The website never mentioned that you had to buy your own food along with it, and the food itself was tastless. Also, even though I specifically told the operator that I was allergic to mushrooms, over half the meals they sent contained mushrooms.
I ate what I could, because I had already paid for it, but I tell everyone I know not to get it. It is a waste of money. Were you expecting buttery gourmet cuisine?! This may not be what I would drool over on a menu, but they try to make a high protein and low-glycemic meal that is palatable and filling. I have been on NS for going on 3wks now and I have lost 9lbs. I disagree that the food is gross, I have not had anything that I have had to force myself to eat nor have I had to gag when eating it.
I read all the reviews and agree that I am going to switch dinner at lunch and have lunch at dinner. Lower calories are better at night and I will have a better chance at burning them off during the day. If anything this program has helped me learn howto balance my diet and what to eat and how often. I bought a food scale to weigh all my meats. I am sooooooo happy!! I hope to lose a lot more by labor day. I went into it not expecting to really enjoy the food and turns out that I like all the foods I order.
I was on this diet for three months and I found the food filling but overprocessed. I have been on the program for 12 days now. Only have lost 2 pounds! I have not cheated either. I think I just wasted my money, but will continue the program just to see the final results. I exercise days a week at the gym, have not had a drop of alcohol, and still can not drop much weight. Anyone else had this problem?
I thank you need to change the tomatoes dishes. Also the beef dishes have an odd tatste. Better get some one tho neows have to cook. The only decent dishes is the chicken but not the chicken parmesson It is terrible. I have been on NS for almost two weeks now and have already lost 6 pounds. Some of it I even like. I am glad that i did not read some of the comments here until I tried it myself. For women your are only eating calories a day. To me it seems that it would be impossible not to lose weight with even just a little excercise and motivation on your part.
I am gonna stick with simply because i already paid and I really want to loose weight. I should have known based on what i have heard about the flavor but i was just out of control and tryuing to take an extreme measure. Well this didnt help. This is a diet that is helpful for long term success and i lfeel like i can stay on it without struggling a lot.
BUt here I am, 4 weeks later and only, 3. I shoulda just went on that lemonade cleanse or whatever, to get this results. It is portion control and offers a great website that I have seen improve. This is my 3rd time in 15 years. I have issues as do SOME overweight people with my monthly meds making me lose my appetite, then I eat less than calories and gain weight. This program is regimented and has you eat the small meals and you are allowed to be an adult about it.
YOU have to make the good choices for the grocery store food that YOU add, and this program supplies the 3 main meals and your snack. If you add up all the NS-like food that you purchase at the store, I know at least for me that the cost is about the same — and by getting it shipped to your door, you save most of your trips to the grocery store except for fruit, veggies, and dairy. Autoship is the way to go: Try one of everything, then change up next month to only be the meals you dig the most.
Once NutriSystem starts arriving it is impossible to stop. After numerous emails to cancel there is now another box in my driveway, in addition to an unopened box in my garage. Plus boxes in my house and full cupboards. I feel I will have to cancel my credit card to stop this mess. If you incorporate excercise into your diet you will see results. May I know why these foods are giving me such a headache and how can i stop it? I ordered Nutrisystem Advanced and tried it for a week. I went to the grocerty store and spent time reading and comparing labels.
You can buy your own things at the store and save money. I think Nutrisystem is expensive for the taste and quality you get. The idea is to cut down and excercise. I sent the food back and bought my own and am losing. They are bette tasting. In this economy, think smart. You can do the same thing yourself for less. I have had years of unsuccessful dieting no matter how hard I tried.
I have had so many positive comments from people about my success. I want to lose a total of 70 pounds, and for the first time in years, I feel as though I will truly be successful. I ordered this because I hate to cook and hate to shop. This food tastes no better than shelf-stable supermarket stuff. The dinners are so soupy, they have to be eaten with a spoon. So now I have a pantry full of over-priced junk.
Add to that, they packed everything in one dang big box and I nearly popped an artery moving it around. Am I eating healthier? On Dancing with The Stars, Marie Osmond said she had lost 35 pounds due to the strenuous exercising during practice. My comments were submitted in July As a current Nutrisystem user, I can tell you that the info is quite outdated. You are able to choose your foods and customize your order. Answers to all questions can be found on the website and dieticians, counselors and moderators are available online or by phone.
The food is very good and yes you do add in your own fresh fruits and veggies and a couple of proteins. These round out the meals and the calorie intake is in a good place for weightloss but you will find yourself eating quite often and feeling quite satisfied. NS also recommends exercise fir health, toning and to produce faster results. The plan will not make the weight drop off you in unhealthy ways. Most lose at a nice steady loss of 1 to 2 lbs per week.
I personally have lost over 23 pounds so far and have no intentions of stopping. This is a great plan with everything needed for healthy weight loss. I started the Nutrisystem meal plan in an attempt to lose the 20 pounds that I put on this past year. I was disappointed because the taste of the food was not what I expected.
Perhaps, I should have been taking a suppressant with it. I was on the Nutrisystem plan for 2 weeks I gained more weight instead of losing. I followed the plan to the T. I think the system is a ripoff. I started Nutrisystem in February and have lost 60lbs. I have to say, I have stuck to the program completely, not cheating at all and have started working out with Jazzercise which helps a lot. I think you need to be honest about what you eat and be of the right mindset to lose weight.
It worked for me! The food was just too awful! It got to the point that I would start gagging just to think about having to eat it. If they ever get better food, I would try it again in a heart beat! I have been on NS for one week.
Its hard yes, but I need to take off 15lbs. The food isnt THAT bad, it is what it is. Play hard, Work hard. Im sticking to everything NS tells me to eat for one month and then I will form an opinion about the program. The people on the phone at NS are great.
Im excited to see what my weight loss is in one month. I am reading a lot of negative comments about Nutrisystem. I spent 16 days in the hospital with pneumonia. The food was not all bad but after 1 week of it, I made myself eat it because I have diabetes and hypothyroidism. The TSH blood test measures your thyroid and how well it is working. Mine was and it is supposed to be 5 or under. I lost 10 pounds in the hospital. I watched the commercial for Nutrisystem diabetics.
I started 3 mths ago and have lost 25 pounds. Total now, 35 pounds. The first shipment was terrible but I told the people at Nutrisystem when I ordered it what I was allergic to and they have tried. I custom ordered after the first mth and I like to eat the same thing, so this does not bother me. Spices sre the spice of life. If you cook your own foods you still need to add spice.
Pepper and so many spices!! I started with a weight management doctor a week ago. She will see me every two weeks for a while and then once a month. I am 56 years old and disabled. My feet are numb because of 2 back surgeries and probable diabetes type 2. I eat these because I cannot stand for long times to cook. My husband heats these for me and it saves time and money going out to eat. Buy a paper plate with the 3 parts or get a tv dinner with a 3 part tray.
Then use your head, most of us have been fat a long time and tried different things. I have to get this weight off this time because it is really killing me. I go to water therapy 2 days a week for 2 hours each day. I have read all your complaints but a lot of them are excuses.: I know I make them too.: Please just think about the health part of loosing weight, no matter what you do to loose it. Just take one day and do the best you can.: Yes, I do occassionally eat wings.
Grapes have been a great thing to snack on. Do them frozen or just cold, the seedless kind. I give NutriSystem a lukewarm positive review because it works for me, but only up to a point. This is my second time on the plan. A few years ago I went from lbs to by following NutriSystem for a couple of months and then taking their lessons outside of the plan, which I think is the real benefit. I gained some back because I started to eat out a lot. Recently I got back down to the and decided to try NutriSystem again to lose the last 20, which has been with me for most of my life.
However, I will caution — this plan is definitely not for everyone. The price is a bit high, but I was spending more on eating out anyway.
My experience with NutriSys has been good. It has worked well for me…all the extra food is something that they do not disclose though. The one thing I will comment on is the support at Nutrisystem is fantastic!!! My second auto-delivery order just arrived and it seems as though the shipping gremlins did a little dance over many items in my shipment.
I was disappointed — especially because my milk chocolate bars were smashed! But, I call the customer service number at the advice of an online counselor and she made a list of everything that was damaged and promptly shipped out new items! I received email confirmation that my replacement order is shipping today.
The snacks are really good. In the eight months I have been in the program, I have lost 30 pounds and am at my goal. I have lost 70 lbs. While I am not at goal weight, I continue to work at it. I find that the food is very good especially when you learn how to make it! You need to become a good cook! There are recipes online, but creativity and vegetarian or organic cookbooks help!
I am full and never hungry! I have gone from a size 22 to a I am now a Junior Member and have made some very good friends who do some great coaching!
I entered blogs and chat rooms. Everything just clicked together for me! Have lost 19 lbs in 2 months and still going. Love the structure and convenience plus the community support is awesome.
The first time I used Nutrisystem I lost 35 lbs in 2 months. The food is okay but you can add your own seasonings to flavor it up. I believe in this program but you do have to commit to it.

Q: How to use animation in Android 17 and below? I want use animation in my application and i write below codes. but this codes run on android 18 and above! but my application minSDK has 14, this animations not show in android 17 and below! just show api 18 and above!!!
My codes:
public void disableSearch() {
    searchEnabled = false;
    Animation out = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(getContext(), R.anim.fade_out);
    Animation in = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(getContext(), R.anim.fade_in_right);
    out.setAnimationListener(this);
    searchIcon.setVisibility(VISIBLE);
    inputContainer.startAnimation(out);
    searchIcon.startAnimation(in);

    if (listenerExists())
        onSearchActionListener.onSearchStateChanged(false);
    if (suggestionsVisible) animateLastRequests(getListHeight(false), 0);
}

/**
 * Shows search input and close arrow
 */
public void enableSearch() {
    adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
    searchEnabled = true;
    Animation left_in = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(getContext(), R.anim.fade_in_left);
    Animation left_out = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(getContext(), R.anim.fade_out_left);
    left_in.setAnimationListener(this);
    inputContainer.setVisibility(VISIBLE);
    inputContainer.startAnimation(left_in);
    if (listenerExists()) {
        onSearchActionListener.onSearchStateChanged(true);
    }
    searchIcon.startAnimation(left_out);
}

My animations :
fadeinLeft.xml
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:interpolator="@android:anim/decelerate_interpolator">
        <translate android:fromXDelta="70" android:toXDelta="0" android:duration="150"/>
        <alpha android:fromAlpha="0" android:toAlpha="1" android:duration="200"/>
    </set>

    FadeOut.xml
        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
        <set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
            <alpha
                android:duration="250"
                android:fromAlpha="1"
                android:toAlpha="0"/>
        </set>

How can i fix this and run this animations on android 17 and below ? Thanks all <3

A: Have to extended your java class to AppCompatActivity
Doing this will import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity which is same as the Activity; only it allows support to backward compatibility.
Happy coding.

A: According to your FadeOut.xml View animation goes like below :
yourView.animate().alpha(0).start();

According to your fadeinLeft.xml View animation goes like below :
yourView.animate().alpha(1.0).x(0).start();

And in this animation, the from value which is in your anim xml should be set before you call the above animation lines.
For example: If you want to start alpha animation from 0 to 1 and your current view alpha is 1, then you should do yourView.setAlpha(0); before doing the animation yourView.animate().alpha(1).start();.
