We're celebrating the release of THE MOTHER ROAD by Meghan Quinn!
Never in a million years would I have pictured myself as an axe-wielding, dragon lady, chopping up multi-colored flannel shirts into my very own plaid mulch. But here I am, chopping away my frustrations.
It all started when my brother, Paul, convinced me to go on one last family road trip across the Mother Road with him and my dad.. Just like old times, right? Wrong. What Paul fails to mention is his best man, Porter, will be joining us, who just so happens to be my childhood crush and the man who broke my heart four years ago.
What is supposed to be a fun, family bonding experience across Route 66 turns into a war of pranks, awkward moments and bathrooms full of dirty flannel shirts and day old beard clippings. Paul's know-it-all attitude and Porter's devilish charm brings me to the brink of my sanity on my seven day trek across the United States with three bearded men in a small 1980's RV.

Q: Comparing 2 huge lists using C# multiple times (with a twist) Hey everyone, great community you got here. I'm an Electrical Engineer doing some "programming" work on the side to help pay for bills. I say this because I want you to take into consideration that I don't have proper Computer Science training, but I have been coding for the past 7 years.
I have several excel tables with information (all numeric), basically it is "dialed phone numbers" in one column and number of minutes to each of those numbers on another. Separately I have a list of "carrier prefix code numbers" for the different carriers in my country. What I want to do is separate all the "traffic" per carrier. Here is the scenario:
First dialed number row: 123456789ABCD,100   <-- That would be a 13 digit phone number and 100 minutes.
I have a list of 12,000+ prefix codes for carrier 1, these codes vary in length, and I need to check everyone of them:
Prefix Code 1: 1234567 <-- this code is 7 digits long.
I need to check the first 7 digits for the dialed number an compare it to the dialed number, if a match is found, I would add the number of minutes to a subtotal for later use. Please consider that not all prefix codes are the same length, some times they are shorter or longer.
Most of this should be a piece of cake, and I could should be able to do it, but I'm getting kind of scared with the massive amount of data; Some times the dialed number lists consists of up to 30,000 numbers, and the "carrier prefix code" lists around 13,000 rows long, and I usually check 3 carriers, that means I have to do a lot of "matches".
Does anyone have an idea of how to do this efficiently using C#? Or any other language to be kind honest. I need to do this quite often and designing a tool to do it would make much more sense. I need a good perspective from someone that does have that "Computer Scientist" background.
Lists don't need to be in excel worksheets, I can export to csv file and work from there, I don't need an "MS Office" interface.
Thanks for your help.
Update:
Thank you all for your time on answering my question. I guess in my ignorance I over exaggerated the word "efficient". I don't perform this task every few seconds. It's something I have to do once per day and I hate to do with with Excel and VLOOKUPs, etc.
I've learned about new concepts from you guys and I hope I can build a solution(s) using your ideas.

A: It sounds to me like you need to build a trie from the carrier prefixes. You'll end up with a single trie, where the terminating nodes tell you the carrier for that prefix.
Then create a dictionary from carrier to an int or long (the total).
Then for each dialed number row, just work your way down the trie until you find the carrier. Find the total number of minutes so far for the carrier, and add the current row - then move on.

A: UPDATE
You can do a simple trick - group the prefixes by their first digits into a dictionary and match the numbers only against the correct subset. I tested it with the following two LINQ statements assuming every prefix has at least three digis.
const Int32 minimumPrefixLength = 3;

var groupedPefixes = prefixes
    .GroupBy(p => p.Substring(0, minimumPrefixLength))
    .ToDictionary(g => g.Key, g => g);

var numberPrefixes = numbers
    .Select(n => groupedPefixes[n.Substring(0, minimumPrefixLength)]
        .First(n.StartsWith))
    .ToList();

So how fast is this? 15.000 prefixes and 50.000 numbers took less than 250 milliseconds. Fast enough for two lines of code?
Note that the performance heavily depends on the minimum prefix length (MPL), hence on the number of prefix groups you can construct.

     MPL    Runtime
    -----------------
     1     10.198 ms
     2      1.179 ms
     3        205 ms
     4        130 ms
     5        107 ms

Just to give an rough idea - I did just one run and have a lot of other stuff going on.
Original answer
I wouldn't care much about performance - an average desktop pc can quiete easily deal with database tables with 100 million rows. Maybe it takes five minutes but I assume you don't want to perform the task every other second.
I just made a test. I generated a list with 15.000 unique prefixes with 5 to 10 digits. From this prefixes I generated 50.000 numbers with a prefix and additional 5 to 10 digits.
List<String> prefixes = GeneratePrefixes();
List<String> numbers = GenerateNumbers(prefixes);

Then I used the following LINQ to Object query to find the prefix of each number.
var numberPrefixes = numbers.Select(n => prefixes.First(n.StartsWith)).ToList();

Well, it took about a minute on my Core 2 Duo laptop with 2.0 GHz. So if one minute processing time is acceptable, maybe two or three if you include aggregation, I would not try to optimize anything. Of course, it would be realy nice if the programm could do the task in a second or two, but this will add quite a bit of complexity and many things to get wrong. And it takes time to design, write, and test. The LINQ statement took my only seconds.
Test application
Note that generating many prefixes is really slow and might take a minute or two.

        }

        private class Call
        {
            public Call (String number, Decimal duration)
            {
                this.Number = number;
                this.Duration = duration;
            }

            public String Number { get; private set; }
            public Decimal Duration { get; private set; }
        }
    }
}

A: The easiest data structure that would do this fairly efficiently would be a list of sets. Make a Set for each carrier to contain all the prefixes.
Now, to associate a call with a carrier:
foreach (Carrier carrier in carriers)
{
    bool found = false;

    for (int length = 1; length <= 7; length++)
    {
        int prefix = ExtractDigits(callNumber, length);

        if (carrier.Prefixes.Contains(prefix))
        {
            carrier.Calls.Add(callNumber);
            found = true;
            break;
        }
    }

    if (found)
        break;
}

If you have 10 carriers, there will be 70 lookups in the set per call. But a lookup in a set isn't too slow (much faster than a linear search). So this should give you quite a big speed up over a brute force linear search.
You can go a step further and group the prefixes for each carrier according to the length. That way, if a carrier has only prefixes of length 7 and 4, you'd know to only bother to extract and look up those lengths, each time looking in the set of prefixes of that length.

A: How about dumping your data into a couple of database tables and then query them using SQL? Easy!
CREATE TABLE dbo.dialled_numbers ( number VARCHAR(100), minutes INT )

CREATE TABLE dbo.prefixes ( prefix VARCHAR(100) )

-- now populate the tables, create indexes etc
-- and then just run your query...

SELECT p.prefix,
    SUM(n.minutes) AS total_minutes
FROM dbo.dialled_numbers AS n
    INNER JOIN dbo.prefixes AS p
        ON n.number LIKE p.prefix + '%'
GROUP BY p.prefix

(This was written for SQL Server, but should be very simple to translate for any other DBMS.)

A: Maybe it would be simpler (not necessarily more efficient) to do it in a database instead of C#.
You could insert the rows on the database and on insert determine the carrier and include it in the record (maybe in an insert trigger).
Then your report would be a sum query on the table.

A: I would probably just put the entries in a List, sort it, then use a binary search to look for matches.  Tailor the binary search match criteria to return the first item that matches then iterate along the list until you find one that doesn't match.  A binary search takes only around 15 comparisons to search a list of 30,000 items.

A: You may want to use a HashTable in C#.
This way you have key-value pairs, and your keys could be the phone numbers, and your value the total minutes.  If a match is found in the key set, then modify the total minutes, else, add a new key.
You would then just need to modify your searching algorithm, to not look at the entire key, but only the first 7 digits of it.

Francesca and I saw *Hadestown* on Broadway on 1/8/20. It won the Tonys for Best Musical and Best Score last spring - - I wasn't impressed with the number I saw on the Tony Awards show, so I thought I'd let it slide. But then Francesca saw it a few weeks ago and raved about it. I trust her opinion, so I bought a ticket. I'm so glad I did because the show was AMAZING.
*Hadestown* is a musical with music, lyrics, and book by Anaïs Mitchell, a version of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth. It's rare that I see a show where all of the elements work together so beautifully - - the music, the story, the performances, the arrangements, the design, the choreography, the staging, it was all woven together in such a powerful and thoughtful way. The show had serious momentum and still gave the audience to applaud like mad at the end of each number.
André De Shields played the pseudo narrator, Hermes. He walked onstage wearing a sleek silver suit, greeted the five members of the chorus, positioned himself on the side of the stage and unbuttoned his jacket. Oh dear Lord, I will never forget that! Without a word or a note of music, he unbuttoned his jacket with such grace and style that the audience burst into applause! Thrilling. De Shields won the Tony for Best Featured Actor, and he was delightful.
Amber Gray and Patrick Page were the other two standouts, as Persephone and Hades. Gray had a raw, desperate glamour and a particular way of moving and dancing. She completely took over when she was onstage. I'm not sure this was intentional, but she reminded me of a young Eartha Kitt, the same mixture of defiance and sparkle. I saw Page in *Casa Valentina,* he knocked me out in that - - he was even more impressive in this show, his part was written to utilize his booming, growly bass voice. He did comparatively little singing, but spoke with great flavor and musicality. He was also nominated for the Best Featured Actor Tony, and his character has a much stronger dramatic progression, but I think De Shields won because his performance was so full of beauty and style. De Shields had an unfair advantage playing a character that the audience loves!
Eva Noblezada was lovely as Eurydice, such a tender and powerful performance. The love story between her character and the Orpheus character wasn't so well developed, but it made sense because she was so compelling. Reeve Carney was the one disappointment of the leads. He played Orpheus and his singing annoyed me, he was way too precious and indulgent. Francesca made the valid point that each of the leads had very different types of voices, and Carney was one of the colors in that palette. Also that he was always in tune and has very strong technique, remarkable control over his falsetto in particular. All of which are very good points!
Maybe the star of the show was the direction by Rachel Chavkin. I mentioned that all of the elements of the show were beautifully calibrated, that was her doing. The momentum of the show was of course based in the score and the book, but I imagine she gets some of the credit for that, too. But the most impressive thing about her production was the way she played the audience, the way she led us to small and large destinations. The first number of the show introduced each of the main characters, introduced by De Shields. The audience applauded when De Shields said the character's name, not when the actor walked onstage. This might seem like a slight thing, but it really says a lot about how masterfully Chavkin directed the show.
The show is scored for a seven-piece band, who sits onstage throughout the show. Major kudos to trombone player Brian Drye who was freaking FIERCE in his solos. He tore the joint apart.
The show casts a very powerful spell. By the end you realize that it's not just infused with the magic of the theatre, it's ABOUT the magic of the theatre.

Whether it's because you're busy, or your kids are fussy eaters, sometimes getting in those extra servings of fruit and veg into your day seems too big an ask. We all know that fruits and vegetables are the basis of any healthy diet plan; they help control your blood pressure and cholesterol, strengthen your arteries and bones, support your eyes, digestive system (and pretty much every other part of your body), and they give you the vitamins, minerals, and hydration you need to get through your day. Not to mention the fact that they're great additions to your diet if you're wondering what to eat to lose weight, since they're versatile, flavourful and relatively low in calories. But even though we know all this we're still not getting enough in our diet.
If you're out of ideas on how to up your intake of fruit and veg, these ingenious tips have you covered!
ADD FRUIT TO YOUR GREENS.
Fruit makes a tasty addition to green salads. You can't go wrong with the classic pear and gorgonzola combination, but there are others that are more unusual and just as delicious. Try serving plums (de-stoned, cut in half, and dished up either raw or lightly oven roasted and topped with a hint of honey) over spinach with goat cheese, shallots, and herbs. Or, figs (also cut in half and served either raw or lightly roasted) over arugula with Parmesan and shallots. Also consider going savoury with your dressing when your salad includes sweeter fruit.
GET CREATIVE - WITH CAULIFLOWER.
Roast a head of cauliflower and puree it; you can do a million things with it then: Add it to your meatloaf for a sneaky extra veggie; eat it instead of mashed potatoes to get a real veggie instead of a starch; or even thin it with white wine or stock and use it as a pasta sauce for another sneaky veggie. Experiment!
BLEND FRUITS AND VEGGIES INTO A TASTY SMOOTHIE.
Not a spinach eater? Throw a few fresh leaves into a blender together with ½ cup of frozen blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries, and you'll never taste the greens. Add a banana, scoop of plain yogurt, pineapple juice, and a tablespoon ground flaxseed, and you'll have a nutritious breakfast or lunch that makes a great part of a weight loss eating plan. You'll also get lasting energy to get you through your full body workout at Curves. For some added flavour, add a dash of mint, cinnamon, vanilla, or cocoa.
To beef up a pasta sauce, chilli, lasagna, or meat loaf without the actual beef, add some grated carrots, zucchini, or squash. You'll get an extra serving of vegetables and cut down on your red meat intake, both which will contribute to your healthy eating plan.
Berries, peaches, pears – they all make delicious purees. Instead of a sauce full of salt and fat, top grilled seafood or poultry with a sweet berry sauce. Or top pancakes, waffles or French toast with peach puree instead of sugary syrup. Fruits make a great alternative to traditional condiments as part of a weight loss eating plan.
A healthy eating plan full of fruits and veggies is a crucial part of your success at Curves. Aim for at least two cups of fruit and two and a half cups of vegetables per day, more if you can.


Today, we pause from our daily activities to pay homage, respect and appreciation to members of the Armed Services who demonstrated the greatest characteristic and aspect of leadership--sacrifice. These leaders sacrificed their lives in order that you and I can enjoy the freedoms we cherish today. The true essence and character of a leader is what he or she is willing to sacrifice for the benefit of others.
The word "sacrifice" means to give up something which belongs to you willing. Members of our military have exhibited over and over again that they are willing to give up their lives for the benefit of all Americans to live under their blanket of justice, freedom and equality in the United States.
Because of their commitment to America; their discipline in one of the four branches of our military; their faith and hope in God; their leadership in foreign and enemy lands; and their vision to see a world free of terrorism and dictatorship, we, in the United States, have the ability to enjoy the liberties we so often take for granted, and liberties for which so many men and women of the Armed Services died. Seldom do we realize that the joy and freedoms we embrace in America are the benefits which our military men and women fight to keep in place every day of the year.
So today, I write this short essay just to say to every military soldier, past and present, to every veteran, past and present, to every family member who suffered the loss of a loved one abroad or at home, thank you for your leadership and your sacrifice. Thank you for your sacrifice and willingness to die on the battlefields of our enemies in foreign and enemy lands; thank you for suffering an injury on a member of your body in defense of our freedom; thank you for the exemplary leadership you conveyed in bringing to justice one of the greatest enemy in the world today—Osama Bin Laden. Thank you for sacrificing your family to leave and go abroad to protect our freedom at home; thank you for being willing to go to countries who are in need of financial and physical aid on behalf of all of us in the United States; thank you for making America the most powerful nation in the world.
Because of who you are and what you do, you allow us to be all that we can be in one of the greatest nations ever to exist in the world—the United States of America.
Thank you men and women of the Armed Services for your leadership and sacrifice on this blessed, sacred and honorable Memorial Day.

Lads' Army (known in later series as Bad Lads' Army, Bad Lads' Army: Officer Class and Bad Lads' Army: Extreme) is a reality game show that constitutes a historically derived social experiment. Shown on ITV, the series is based on the premise of subjecting today's delinquent young men to the conditions of conscripts to British Army National Service of the 1950s to see if this could rehabilitate them.

The programme was derived from an earlier one called simply Lads' Army (a play on Dad's Army) in which a number of volunteers underwent four weeks of basic training for 1950s National Service. Unlike the three sequel series (the ones whose titles began with "Bad"), the original programme's experiment was merely to see if 18- to 24-year-old members of the modern British public could cope with the 1950s training, and how they compared to the public of that period. The success of the original series led to the experiment being repeated with the recruits having committed criminal offences, often given the option to undergo the training by courts as an alternative to serving pending sentences, to explore the proposition that it would be beneficial to reinstate National Service for petty criminals and delinquents as an alternative to more conventional sentences. Series 4 lowered the minimum age to 17 and raised the maximum age to 26.

The narrator for the first series was Kevin Whately, then Dennis Waterman took over until the show ended in 2006. Within each series a small number of the recruits have either walked out (after a 24-hour cooling off period), or been ejected. The majority of the remainder claim some benefit from the experience and some have chosen the British Army as a career at the end of it.

Format

The programme format is relatively simple. The recruits are issued period uniforms and equipment and fed, quartered and trained according to the standards of the era. Their free time is limited to visits to the NAAFI with period refreshments and facilities. The recruits form a single platoon made up of two sections, each under the care of a section commander, either Richard Nauyokas or Joe Murray (in series 3 Nauyokas was replaced by Glenn Thomas [who appeared as the Company Sergeant Major in series 2], although he still appeared as a relief corporal). During training the sections compete against each other, building a sense of competition but also of teamwork and loyalty. Success brings modest rewards. Praise is given for whole-hearted attempts at tasks. The NCOs and officers running the training are all, or have been, professional British soldiers.

Each series had a slightly different format to its predecessors, although the theme of 1950s military training is common to all series. The 3rd series (known as Bad Lads' Army: Officer Class) had the volunteers train to become officers while the 4th series (known as Bad Lads' Army Extreme) had the volunteers train to become paratroopers.

Series 1 to 3 had included interviews with celebrities who had completed National Service in the 1950s, including Joss Ackland, Michael Aspel, William Roache, Brian Blessed, Richard Briers, Paul Daniels, Frederick Forsyth, Bernard Manning, Nosher Powell, Andrew Sachs and Brian Sewell. During re-airings of the first series, the interviews were edited out.

Contestants

Series 1 (Lads Army, 2002)

Waterloo Platoon recruits

Key
 PASSED OUT = Recruit was present at the final stages of training, at the Passing Out Parade.
 LEFT = Recruit quit or was discharged before making it to the final parade.

Series overview
David Gardner received the "Best Recruit" award, James Willingham was awarded the platoons "Most Improved Recruit". 2 Section won "Best Section".

During the series, Tom Woolfe was dishonourably discharged/back squadded from the camp. Paul Clayden, Lee Wooten, and Chris Hampson chose the leave voluntarily. Nicholas Sandford deserted the base and never returned to camp. Jamie Dodd and Aaron Larson were medically discharged from the camp. William Wood's exit is unknown as his exit never aired.

After William Wood and Paul Clayden left, William Bate and Paul Eagle were drafted in as replacement recruits.

Captain Richard Owen, Waterloo Platoon's CO, died after the filming of the series in 2014, at age 48. He is said to have died from cancer.

The main filming location for series one was Browndown Training Camp at Lee-on-Solent.

Series 2 (Bad Lads Army, 2004)

Montgomery Platoon recruits

Key
 PASSED OUT = Recruit was present at the final stages of training, at the Passing Out Parade.
 LEFT = Recruit quit or was discharged before making it to the final parade.

Series overview
Tjobbe Andrews, Matthew Gilks and Robert Shutler were given Officer Recommendations. This would be the goal of the following series. John Kyprianou received the Platoon's Top Shot (the highest score in the shooting range). Marcus Birks received the Best Recruit award at the Pass Out Parade, with Robert Pembrook receiving the Most Improved award. 2 Section won Best Section. With 2 Section winning best section, CPL Murray was promoted to SGT at the Passing Out Parade.

Luke Brown and Ashley Morton were dishonourably discharged. Morton was the only recruit to be dishonourably discharged for committing a criminal offence, namely an unprovoked assault on John Kyprianou, who decided not to press charges. Scott Simpson, Daniel Kett and Chris Townsend chose to leave voluntarily. Ashley Cummings and Alan Brown's status' are unknown, as how they were discharged was never specified. Alan Brown also did not turn up on the first day due to a scheduled court appearance; he received a conditional discharge in connection with a fight that he had previously been involved in, with the requirement that he complete National Service.

After Scott Simpson quit before even being issued a single item of kit or his uniform, Alex Rennie was drafted in as a replacement recruit. At the time of the series release, there was speculation that Tom Woolfe from the first series who was back squadded was set to return but never did for unknown reasons. This is heavily suspected, as there was no replacement for 1 Section after Ashley Cummings left and Woolfe was in 1 Section during the first series, however, to this date, nothing has been confirmed.

After the filming of the series, Michael Lowes suffered from clinical depression after facing indecent exposure charges, and was found dead in his home from an apparent suicide in 2010, at age 28. SGT Alistair Rae, the platoon sergeant for Montgomery, Churchill and Pegasus Platoons, died in November 2020 due to complications from COVID-19, as did contestant Marcus Birks in 2021, at the age of 40.

The main filming location for series two was at New Zealand Farm Camp on Salisbury Plain.

Series 3 (Bad Lads Army: Officer Class, 2005)

Churchill Platoon recruits

Key
 YES = Recruit was selected for officer training.
 NO = Recruit was not selected for officer training.
 LEFT = Recruit left the series, either voluntarily, due to being dishonourably discharged or a medical discharge.

Series overview
The Passing Out Parade never stated who received "Best Recruit", or "Most Improved Recruit", as well as which Section were the winners overall. This is the only season that had no contestants born in the 1970s.

Wesley Worrall, Steven Bedford, and Matthew Tate were dishonourably discharged from the camp, Kirk Woodend chose to leave voluntarily and Adam Oakley was medically discharged, Dale Tate (Matthew Tate's brother) deserted the section and never returned to the Platoon; his brother deserted with him, but later returned. Simon Pinkney and Adrian Turton left the camp, however their exits were never aired.

After Wesley Worrall and Steven Bedford were discharged, Chris Danns and Matthew Rawlings were drafted in, as replacement recruits.

Robert Page initially was selected for officer training but quit before training began and was forced to return to unit.

At the end of the final episode, the narrator stated that 11 of 24 who passed out had subsequently applied to join the regular British Army.

Robert Page died after the filming of the series in 2020 at age 36. His cause is unknown.

The main filming location for series three was again at Browndown Training Camp at Lee-on-Solent.

Series 4 (Bad Lads Army: Extreme, 2006)

Pegasus Platoon recruits

Key
 YES = Recruit was selected for the Final Parachute Jump
 NO = Recruit was not selected for Final Parachute Jump.
 LEFT = Recruit left the series, either voluntarily, due to being dishonourably discharged or a medical discharge.

Series overview
The Passing Out Parade never stated who received "Best Recruit", or "Most Improved Recruit". Blue Section was the winning section.

Colin Elliot was Dishonourably Discharged from the camp. Keith Burke, Adam Mercer, Joel Whittaker, and Andrew Jimson were dismissed on Bin Day, just before the interrogation phase. Ron Spike, Leon White, Luke Howard, Matthew Reed, Raymond Impey, Darren McDonald, and Luke Moyes were all dismissed from the camp but their exits never aired. This series features a high amount of unusual dismissals, with 12 exits total.

After Colin Elliot and Ron Spike were discharged, Joe Peto and Steven Walker were drafted in, as replacement recruits. This was the first time that both replacement recruits went into the same section.

Aiden Chaffe died on 22 October 2018 at the age of 31 following a skydiving accident.

Series four was filmed at the Royal Navy Cordite Factory, Holton Heath, in Dorset. However, for the series, it was named 'Sandford Army Camp'.

« Columbia Winery Charity Run and Walk in August!
This year's Wine Bloggers Conference returns to the east on August 13th – 16th in Corning, New York. The conference attracts not only wine bloggers, but also wine writers and authors. Kathy and I have attended some of the previous conferences. The last trip to the east was in 2011 during a heat wave in Virginia. The state did a wonderful job as conference hosts, except for the weather. The conference took place in Charlottesville. One of the evening activities was a dinner at Monticello. This wonderful, historic venue should have been a highlight of the conference, but with temperatures in the low 100s in the shade, it seemed to take the starch out of the attendees. Corning, New York in August should not have those extreme temperatures. We can expect temperatures in the 70's near 80.
We also attended the following year where the conference moved back to the West Coast. Portland, Oregon was host and another evening was spent at various wineries with temperatures in the upper 90s. There was an unusual heat wave in Portland. The conference was still great even though one evening was a bit uncomfortable.
During this year's conference, we will once again explore some of the Finger Lakes wineries. Many of our first and second year winery visits were in the Finger Lakes. We visited and wrote about 56 wineries in this wine region. Also different in this year's conference is that I am on a panel "Blog to X." The panelists have leveraged their experience blogging to consult in social media, write a book, get a winery job, or even create wine events. I will present how our blog and website provided the framework for three of our books.
The Finger Lakes provides the backdrop for one of America's most beautiful wine regions. It is good to see an emphasis placed on New York and this area that is home to three American Viticultural Areas: Finger Lakes, Cayuga Lake and Seneca Lake. The area has more than 100 wineries. We have visited about half of them. Many more have opened within the last few years.
If interested, read our articles about Finger Lake Wineries and follow our Wine Bloggers Conference articles and blog posts.

My Isotherm water heater (boiler) is leaking water through the relief valve. It only leaks when the heater element is on. Depending on the amount of hot water usage, and thus the amount of time the heating element is on, this leakage is half a liter to a liter per 24 hours. This water leaks through the drain hose to the bilge, and it was from a running bilge pump that I tracked it back to the relief valve.
With the water heater circuit breaker turned off there is absolutely no leakage.
I contacted Isotherm and they sent a replacement relief valve, however this did not solve the problem. I am still accumulating water from the drain hose (the amount in the previous paragraph is with the replacement relief valve).
The Isotherm rep said it is normal for a "little" leakage when the water heater is first turned on. He agrees that the amounts I am seeing are excessive.
However, since the relief valve has been replaced he thinks something else in the system is causing this leakage. However, I am at a loss as to what else could cause this.
The tank is a horizontal unit and the connections for water in and water out of the heater are near the top of the tank. There are no provisions for venting air from the tank. However, I refilled the tank a month ago after replacing the relief valve, so I would assume most of the air would have worked its way out.
I understand that if the heater was water solid, then heating the water could result in fairly high pressures from the attempt of the water to expand. This is what the Isotherm rep has said. In this case, an air bubble in the tank would help minimize the pressure by allowing the water to expand into the air space.
This same logic holds true with the accumulator I have installed on the inlet side of the water heater. If the tank is really seeing such high pressures from water expansion then I would think that the air in the accumulator would help minimize this by allowing somewhere for the expanded water to go. There is nothing preventing water from the tank expanding "backwards" to the accumulator.
According to the Isotherm manual the relief valve is set for 100 psi. I just don't see how I'm getting anywhere near that pressure.
Install an accumulator (expansion tank) on the hot or cold water side of the water heater. Cold water expands when heated. Without an accumulator (expansion tank) the relief will pop and dribble. Quite normal to do so.
The 1 gallon type expansion tank for $40 at the big box hardware stores works well and are less then 1/2 the price of a "Marine" ones.
Possibly just a weak relief valve that is temp sensitive? Have you tried another one? Even new ones can be bad. There is no excuse for one to leak even a drop if you have an expansion tank.
Thank you. Yes, there is an accumulator on the cold water inlet side of the hot water tank. As I stated earlier, I cannot understand how the pressure in the hot water tank could get so high since there is an accumulator with an air bubble in it to absorb any expansion in the water as it heats.
I'm thinking that you are correct. Yes, Isotherm supplied a new valve when I contacted them with this problem I am still seeing this leakage with the replacement valve.
At present, my leaning is to contact Isotherm again and tell them that the replacement valve was bad, and I need another replacement.
Check that your existing expansion tank is not water logged or rubber diaphragm is torn/failed. I had a jabisco plastic tank type fail at the the diaphragm which causes it not to work. fix is to install a new expansion tank, or bleed water from the existing one.
to bleed water, turn pump off. open sink faucet (hot side or hot and cold side), attach bike pump to valve on expansion tank and pressurize expansion tank to 20 psi ish (+/- 5 psig). That should keep it working for a few days if the diaphragm is torn. If it continues working, then all is OK, if not replace the expansion tank.
There should be a backflow valve keeping the water in the heater from backing up into the expansion tank. The relief valve will open if the pressure or temperature (TP) get too high.
1. First, thing is to find out what the ratings are on your TP valve.
2. Look at your water heater and find out what the temperature is set at. If it does not indicate numbers, then get a thermometer and test the temperature at a faucet.
3. After the heater has been on a while, open the TP valve. If steam comes out then your water heater may not be cycling off.
There are two safety measures built in, the internal temperature sensor and the TP valve. The old water heater on my boat had a failure and the heaters would not turn off. Your water temperature should not be over 120.
An addendum to my comment about 120 degree water, some marine heaters are much hotter AND take nearly steaming hot water from the engine. Here is a diagram showing a non-return (backflow) valve.
I believe the accumulator is good and not water solid. When I run the tap, the water will run for a few seconds before the pump kicks on. The time depends on how much water has been run recently.
I'm not sure what a TP valve is. If you are referring to the relief valve, it is set to 100 psi per the Isotherm manual. I believe it opens on pressure only. The manual has no mention of a temperature setting for this valve to open.
There are no numbers on the temperature setting valve on my water heater. It is not possible to measure the temperature setting at the tap since this heater incorporates a thermostatic mixing valve at the heater to mix cold water with the hot to prevent scalding. As you mention in your follow-on post, the water temperature in the tank is certainly above 120 degrees F when the engine is used to heat the water. This is the primary reason Isotherm incorporates the thermostatic mixing valve.
The heater is cycling off when the water reaches proper temperature. I have confirmed this by checking AC power usage and noting when the unit stops drawing power.
But let's talk about this check valve to keep water from backing up to the expansion tank. I do not have one external to the water heater, and I don't see a reason for it. Would this be in the water heater? What is the purpose?
Actually the pump comes on after a few seconds as the pump on set point is lower then the off set point. even with the quart accumultors you should see about 8 seconds before the pump runs.
More then likely, there isn't enough expansion space in the accumulator.
If the accumulator was working properly, the relief valve would not leak. A US relief valve will not leak at 180 degrees F or at pressures normal in a marine or typical land side system. That the second relief also leaks points to a lack of thermal expansion space in the water system. The T&P relief valves generally have very high reliability. Two reliefs having the same issue, points to something other then the relief valve.
I have 40+ years designing plumbing systems in building projects. Some had over $40 million in plumbing costs.
A $40 1 gallon expansion tank from the big box store, will solve your problem.
I find that the quart (liter) size marine expansion tanks to be marginal at best for a marine water heater, that can be heated to 160 degrees F + via engine loop.
A check valve on the cold water inlet is not required or wanted in the typical marine water heater. Well Typical US style Marine water heater.
If there is a non-return valve as part of the tempering valve assembly then you will need to add a accumulator on the discharge of the water heater, per the west marine diagram.

30 Euro late check in fee - we flew in and had to wait for car hire.
Super place - loved it all.
Being a family of four, we requested a requirement for more than 1 pillow per bed. Unfortunately the agent couldn't provide us with any additional pillows! Disappointing! As far as I'm concerned, this should really be a basic comfort included in cost? Another gripe we had was that the pedal bin was damaged to the extent that the pedal wasn't operational, 2 of our family members cut fingers on the broken lid! Also have to mention that WiFi is an additional cost which was also surprising given the rental cost. Pretty basic stuff really that you wouldn't expect from a high end rental property.
The apartment was nicely equipped with all mod cons and was situated conveniently near to some lovely restaurants. Pool was also beautiful! The roof terrace was heavenly! Very peaceful place to spend a few hours in the sunshine.
Great location, the apartment was clean and had everything we needed. I would happily book here again.

"The great use of a life is to spend it for something that outlasts it"*…
When an online news outlet goes out of business, its archives can disappear as well. A new front in the battle over journalism is the digital legacy of the press.
For years, our most important records have been committed to specialized materials and technologies. For archivists, 1870 is the year everything begins to turn to dust. That was the year American newspaper mills began phasing out rag-based paper with wood pulp, ensuring that newspapers printed after would be known to future generations as delicate things, brittle at the edges, yellowing with the slightest exposure to air. In the late 1920s, the Kodak company suggested microfilm was the solution, neatly compacting an entire newspaper onto a few inches of thin, flexible film. In the second half of the century, entire libraries were transferred to microform, spun on microfilm reels, or served on tiny microfiche platters, while the crumbling originals were thrown away or pulped. To save newspapers, we first had to destroy them.
Then came digital media, which is even more compact than microfilm, giving way, initially at least, to fantasies of whole libraries preserved on the head of a pin. In the event, the new digital records degraded even more quickly than did newsprint. Information's most consistent quality is its evanescence. Information is fugitive in its very nature.
"People are good at guessing what will be important in the future, but we are terrible at guessing what won't be," says Clay Shirky, media scholar and author, who in the early 2000s worked at the Library of Congress on the National Digital Information Infrastructure Preservation Project. After the obvious — presidential inaugurations or live footage of world historical events, say — we have to choose what to save. But we can't save everything, and we can't know that what we're saving will last long. "Much of the modern dance of the 1970s and 1980s is lost precisely because choreographers assumed the VHS tapes they made would preserve it," he says. He points to Rothenberg's Law: "Digital data lasts forever, or five years, whichever comes first," which was coined by the RAND Corporation computer scientist Jeff Rothenberg in a 1995 Scientific American article. "Our digital documents are far more fragile than paper," he argued. "In fact, the record of the entire present period of history is in jeopardy."…
Our records are the raw material of history; the shelter of our memories for the future. We must develop ironclad security for our digital archives, and put them entirely out of the reach of hostile hands. The good news is that this is still possible. Maria Bustillos on what can be done, including a well-deserved shout-out to the Internet Archive: "The Internet Isn't Forever."
* William James
As we ponder preservation, we might spare a thought for Fred W. Friendly (born Ferdinand Friendly Wachenheimer); he died on this date in 1998. A journalist and producer, he was a driving force behind the rise of CBS News, where he was responsible for See It Now (with Edward R. Murrow) and CBS Reports. Friendly became President of CBS News in 1964, but resigned in 1966, when the network ran a scheduled episode of The Lucy Show instead of broadcasting live coverage of the first United States Senate hearings questioning American involvement in Vietnam.
After CBS, Friendly became a consultant on broadcast to the Ford Foundation, where he was instrumental in laying the groundwork for the American public broadcasting system. As head of the New York City Cable TV and Communications Commission, he originated the idea of the public access channel.
Later, he took a position at Columbia School of Journalism, where he strengthened the school's broadcast curriculum and authored a number of books.

PIRG applauds decisions blocking health insurance mega-mergers
This week, in a big win for consumers, a district court took action to block the proposed merger between health insurance giants Anthem and Cigna. This decision follows a ruling last month that blocked the proposed merger of two more of the nation's biggest for-profit health insurers, Aetna and Humana. These decisions come after months of work by U.S. PIRG and a broad coalition of consumer and health care groups, urging close scrutiny of the mergers from state and federal regulators and raising questions and concerns about the potential impact of the mergers.

Hans-Georg Tersling, né le  à Karlebo sur une île près de la côte suédoise et mort le  à Menton, est un architecte danois.

Il est un des principaux architectes de la Riviera dans les années 1890-1914.

Sa production se compose surtout d'œuvres de style néoclassique Louis XVI et s'inspire parfois de la Renaissance italienne.

Biographie

Hans-Georg Tersling est né dans une ferme. Son père est mort quand il avait trois ans. Il suit une formation de charpentier puis les cours de l'Académie royale des beaux-arts du Danemark, dont il sort diplômé en 1879.

Après son diplôme, Tersling voyage en France. Il est embauché par Charles Garnier, l'architecte de l'opéra de Paris pour travailler au casino de Monte-Carlo dont il conçoit la Salle Schemitt Par la suite, il retourne à Paris, mais finalement s'installe à Menton en 1887 .

Il est engagé par le George Calvin White des Whiskey Black & White pour construire le Grand Hôtel du Cap-Martin. Cet hôtel de grand luxe, achevé en 1890 connait un succès immédiat avec la fréquentation de l'empereur François-Joseph  d'Autriche, qui y séjourne quatre fois entre 1896 et 1897, mais aussi celles de son épouse Sissi.

Il construit ensuite en 1892 la villa Cyrnos pour l'ex-impératrice Eugénie et en 1908 la villa Les Rochers.

La villa Cyrnos impressionna l'impératrice de Russie, qui lui passa commande de la construction de l'église russe de Menton pour l'importante communauté orthodoxe venue résider dans la commune.

En 1896, pour le diplomate britannique Edward Malet, il achève au Cap-d'Ail le château Malet.

Pour Victor Masséna, il construit en 1899 à Nice la villa Masséna, aujourd'hui musée Masséna.

En 1905, il gagne une compétition internationale pour la construction de l'hôtel particulier de Olympe Hériot à Paris.

De retour à Menton, il construit en 1909 le casino municipal, aujourd'hui transformé en Galerie d'Art du Palais de l'Europe

Avec l'éclatement de la Première Guerre mondiale, la carrière de Tersling s'achève, car beaucoup de ses riches clients disparaissent et lui laissent des commandes non payées. Il meurt presque ruiné à Menton en 1920.

With cyber-packed areas like Silicon Valley, California is seen as one of the hotbeds of innovation and technology. Of course, the state is a haven of old school and new school technologies butted up against one another. A perfect example is Hayward California – a mixture of high tech cleanliness and modern day fabrication, manufacturing that has been around for decades.
While companies may have new ways to improve upon sheet metal fabrication, the same processes need to be performed – stamping, forming, cutting, welding, etc. This is where companies like Inland Metal Technologies in Hayward, CA allow robotic technology to step in and lend a hand. Robots can tend presses and move sheet metal pieces from one press to another. They can also cut, mill, weld and form sheet metal pieces as needed for the product at hand. By using a newer technology for an old school industry, manufacturers can save money on labor and production costs.
But old school manufacturing, like sheet metal fabrication, is not the only industry that is capitalizing on robotics. Newer industries like the medical and cleanroom industries also need robots that can work in highly specialized conditions. Companies like Pentagon Technologies Inc. provide contamination detection and protection products for the semiconductor, microelectronic and solar industries. These products are delicate and require a robot to handle them. There are less contaminants made by a robot than by a human, and robots have a more delicate touch with fragile components than some humans have. They can also touch every piece with the same or varying levels of tolerance – unlike a human. By using robots for these important, delicate machines, manufacturers can ensure a product that will have few errors once in the marketplace.
When companies in Hayward, California are seeking robotic technology, they can call RobotWorx in Marion, Ohio. RobotWorx, a certified integrator for ABB, FANUC, KUKA, Universal Robots, and Motoman, has several hundred robot models available to fit any size facility, application or budget.

Home/USA/Former Arizona official Paul Petersen got six years of smuggling pregnant women to the U.S. to sell their babies
Former Arizona official Paul Petersen got six years of smuggling pregnant women to the U.S. to sell their babies
USA NewsDesk December 1, 2020 12:43
A six-year-old Arizona man who smuggled pregnant women into America as part of an illegal adoption that operated in three states and helped him lead a luxury lifestyle was sentenced to six years.
Former Maricopa County Republican appraiser and adoption attorney Paul Petersen pleaded guilty in June to paying mothers in the United States for mothers from the Marshall Islands, an island chain between Hawaii and the Philippines, in exchange for thousands of dollars for adoptive families.
At the hearing, Petersen denied that he knew that his employees employed in the adoption fraud had forced these women by threatening to take their passports if they tried to withdraw from the business.
"I treated everyone with respect in their situation, on all sides of the adoption," Petersen told the court. "I tried to promote respect for the marshal's culture. I got adoptions because I simply loved the Marshall Islands and the Marshalleans. "
"If even one of these beautiful ladies feels abused, that's too much," added Petersen, a father of four and a licensed attorney in Arkansas, Arizona and Utah. He is said to have attended the adoption in Marshalles in 1998 while working as a missionary on the islands through The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
U.S. District Judge Timothy Brooks sentenced Petersen to 74 months in federal prison and a $ 105,100 fine ("conspiracy to smuggle illegal aliens for private gain"). Petersen's sentence of three years is a supervised release after leaving Arizona federal prison.
Prosecutors accused Petersen of falsifying records, lying to state court judges, and instructing pregnant women to lie as part of the system. According to David Clay Fowlkes, a first assistant to a U.S. attorney in the western district of Arkansas, Petersen also "manipulated mothers to agree to adoption, which they don't fully understand."
In a penitentiary memorandum submitted this month, prosecutors said Petersen's operation exploited poor women who did not speak English and threatened them if they tried to get out of the adoption. They said the program helped fund the lavish lifestyle of Petersen and his family, which meant multiple residences, trips to New York and California, luxury cars, and "a great residence in Arizona in an exclusive, closed community".
"The people who took them to the United States threatened to call the police and prosecute them if they tried to step back from the adoption process," the government added in the memorandum. "These conditions prevented them from escaping as safely as if they were chained to a wall.
According to the memorandum, the $ 10,000 that Petersen offered to women is "an amount of money that simply could not be rejected by people who lived in poverty on a remote island."
"Notably, however, the parent mothers actually received far less than they were promised and deducted from the promised salary the' cost of living ', the cost of living that resulted from living in deplorable, crowded houses alongside other pregnant women," they added. the prosecutors of the document.
On Tuesday, Brooks said Petersen transported illegally "vulnerable" women in 25 to 99 separate cases, even though the base agreement included only four cases. "The side effect of adoption was a criminal livelihood," Brooks said.
The judge continued: "You have sought to enter politics. You wanted all the beautiful things in life that needed money and you were wrong somewhere. … He became complicit in the sale of infants.
The indictment, repealed in October 2019, said Petersen, his alleged accomplice, Maki Takehisa, and others helped transport four pregnant women, and as early as April 2014, they "concealed the real purpose of their trip" from U.S. officials.
Under the 2003 agreement with the Republic of Marshall Islands, citizens of Marshallese may enter the United States for employment, but are prohibited from entering America for adoption.
In one case, Petersen paid for a woman identified as RMJ to fly to Arkansas in April 2014. The woman gave birth to her baby boy in a local hospital in July 2014, and six days later a boy was adopted by a U.S. family. the procedure submitted by Petersen as a 'licensed lawyer' is set out in the legal basis agreement.
Takehisa offered to pay $ 10,000 for his trip and contribute to the adoption. RMJ returned to the Marshall Islands in August 2014, and the adoptive family paid $ 13,300 to Petersen for his role in organizing the adoption. (The legal basis agreement does not state whether RMJ has received the full $ 10,000 offered to it.)
Petersen also paid a woman named AT about $ 7,300 while she was in America to give up her baby boy. The woman was in a small residence in Dequeen, Arkansas, with nine other pregnant women from Marshallese at the end of 2014, and an adoptive family paid Petersen $ 27,000 for her work in securing the adoption of her AT child.
Meanwhile, a woman referred to as RJ flew to Arkansas in February 2015 and gave birth to a girl months later. He was also in the cramped Dequeen residence. A family paid Petersen $ 30,000 to arrange the girl's adoption, and Petersen paid $ 10,300.
In a fourth case, Petersen paid a DJ to fly to Arkansas in March 2015, and a family adopted his newborn son in May of that year. The family paid Petersen $ 32,000 and DJ $ 10,800, according to the legal basis agreement.
Fowlkes noted that some women have doubts about adoption and have been told they can no longer change their minds about giving up babies.
According to him, Petersen "found a loophole that allowed him to run an adoption company with zero supervision." Petersen brought women to the United States without a visa and made sure babies were born in America to be automatically citizens, Fowlkes said. Petersen and his agents applied for public health care for the women, so he should not have covered the women's expensive hospital bills.
"The accused did this for one reason and only one reason: for the money," Fowlkes said, adding, "It was a quick enrichment that hid behind the pinnacle of a humanitarian operation."

ODM's Imran, Jubilee's Mariga to submit bids for Kibra parliamentary by-election Tuesday
Author: worldwidenewscast Published Date: September 10, 2019 Leave a Comment on ODM's Imran, Jubilee's Mariga to submit bids for Kibra parliamentary by-election Tuesday
ODM party's Imran Okoth (left) and Jubilee Party's McDonald Mariga (right) are Tuesday set to present their nomination papers for the Kibra parliamentary by-election to IEBC/FILE
NAIROBI, Kenya, Sep 10 – Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party's Imran Okoth and Jubilee Party's McDonald Mariga are Tuesday set to present their nomination papers for the Kibra Parliamentary by-election to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
The two seen as leading contenders for the November 7 race will present their candidatures at 12pm on Tuesday.
The mini poll has attracted 26 candidates twelve of whom were cleared on Monday.
Among those who presented their nomination papers are Amani National Congress (ANC) party's Eliud Owalo FORD Kenya's Khamisi Butich.
Butich urged Kibra residents to vote peacefully assuring them of improved healthcare and security in the area if elected.
"We are now ready to hit the ground for our campaign and I want to say that it will not be business as usual in Kibra. It will be a new dawn; things are about to change, and I want to call on Kibra residents to give me a chance to deliver to them and change the face of Kibra. I ask my competitors to do their campaigns in the most peaceful manner and not cause mayhem at all," he said.
Independent candidates Felix Anditi and Fridah Kerubo, pleaded with Kibra people to vote for them promising to create jobs for the youth and improve their living standards.
"I decided to run for this seat because I felt that Kibra people need new ideas, fresh people and young people to continue with the rich legacy that our late MP left. The people of Kibra need food, jobs and improved living standards which I will address if elected," Anditi said.
His sentiments were echoed by Kerubo who pointed out that her candidature is driven by the high rate of unemployment among youths.
"I have outlined my policies and I am in no doubt that I will win this race. I am so far the only woman who has been cleared. I am running independently, and my promise is to create jobs both locally and in diaspora for Kibra youths," she said.
Okoth who has been waiting for a determination of a petition filed by William Orero challenging his win in party primaries held on Saturday.
Orero has alleged that the exercise was not free and fair.
Okoth beat nine other aspirants after he managed to garner 4,382 votes in the party primaries.
All the aspirants are expected to present their papers by 4.00 pm on Tuesday.
The mini poll that was precipitated by the demise of Ken Okoth who succumbed to cancer in July has been touted to be a litmus test of the handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM Party Leader Raila Odinga who buried the political hatchet last year after a prolonged electioneering period.
Kenyatta's deputy William Ruto who is also the Jubilee Party's second in command is expected to lead a campaign for Mariga in an effort to clinch the seat long held by ODM.
Jubilee bagged the neigbouring Langata constituency which was hived off the larger Kibra in the 2017 General Election.

Recent studies have linked some gastric bypass surgeries to possible bone loss in some patients. Diet Doc announces an individualized hCG diet plan that produces equal weight loss to gastric bypass surgery, yet without bone loss or malnutrition.
Escondido, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/24/2013 -- Gastric bypass surgery is extremely effective at producing fast weight loss, but at what price? A modernized and individualized hCG diet plan from Diet Doc offers equal results to invasive surgeries with little to no reported side effects. Researchers are calling for more studies to be conducted on the affect of gastric bypass and other invasive procedures on residual bone mass. Medicaldaily reported that " Even though we don't yet understand all the mechanisms, we can see that the more radical the procedure, the greater the bone loss long-term."
Studies further reveal that gastric bypass surgery affects more than just bone mass. A study of insurance claims of 2522 patients that underwent gastric bypass surgery revealed that 21.9% of patients experienced complications during the initial hospital stay and a total of 40% had a risk of complications in the subsequent 180 days. While advancements in medicine remain swift, so do complications associated with medical procedures. Serious infections like MRSA continue to be a concern, and so are the costs of weight loss surgeries. Lap band surgery can cost up to $30,000. An individualized prescription hCG diet from Diet Doc costs a few hundred dollars, but produces the same weight loss as surgery without any of the side effects. While there are preventative measures in place to prevent bone loss and other side-effects of the malnutrition that occurs after gastric bypass surgery, inherent risk will always be associated with any invasive procedure like infection, extreme discomfort, and severe internal trauma, none of which is associated with non-invasive diets.
Diet Doc offers a host of preventative measures to ensure health during fast weight loss. Losing weight fast is not without risk of malnutrition, but the company employs an abundance of safety measures to ensure that as their clients lose weight fast, they remain healthy and protected. Each client undergoes a thorough health screening by a Diet Doc weight loss physician wherein the physician assess the client for overall health and well-being before beginning any diet treatments. If a client's health is not well enough for treatment, physicians will recommend corrective measures to the client aimed at restoring health first and foremost. Diet Doc Medical Director, Dr. Nishant Rao, elaborates on Diet Doc's healthy dieting philosophy. Rao says that "Diet Doc's medical diet programs were developed to help people lose weight fast, safe and long term. What we offer is a life change that extends beyond the initial results. What people find out about themselves while on the personalized doctor designed diet plan is often life changing; therefore, the results are sustainable long term"
In order to ensure each clients health throughout any fast weight loss plan, paying attention to side effects associated with lowered caloric intake, the company has developed a complete line of nutrition products intended to work in conjunction with a prescription hCG diet. Each product offers a range of benefits from essential vitamin intake without compromising the Diet Doc low calorie diet, protein required to maintain muscle mass, supplements to aid the fast weight loss of a prescription hCG diet plan, or just delicious diet foods that offer decreased calories without compromising taste; Diet Doc products work to protect clients against dangerous side effects of low calorie diets like bone loss, now associated with invasive gastric bypass surgery. To further minimize the side effects of fast weight loss, Diet Doc completely modernized the original 500 calorie hCG diet plan to include as many as 1250 calories daily. Using modern nutrition science each calorie is maximized for health benefits, so dieters never consume empty calories, each is packed with nutrition from enhanced diet food, natural vitamin rich foods, and supplements. The result; 97% of clients report fast weight loss with little to zero side effects, making a Diet Doc hCG diet plan the most effective results available.
