"Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!"
Richard P. Feynman (1918-1988) was a professor at Cornell University and CalTech and received the Nobel Prize for physics in 1965. In 1986 he served with distinction on the Rogers Commission investigating the space shuttle Challenger disaster. Ralph Leighton lives in northern California.
"A storyteller in the tradition of Mark Twain. Feynman proves once again that it is possible to laugh out loud and scratch your head at the same time." -- K. C. Cole - New York Times Book Review
"Quintessential Feynman-funny, brilliant, bawdy...enormously entertaining." -- The New Yorker
"Books like this are temptations-to give up reading and devote life to rereading...The book is a litmus paper: anyone who can read it without laughing out loud is bad crazy." -- Los Angeles Times Book Review
"A chain reaction is not a bad analogy for Feynman's life. From a critical mass of gray matter it goes off in all directions, producing both heat and light." -- Time
"Feynman is legendary among his colleagues for his brilliance and his eccentricity...It's not hard to smile all the way through." -- Newsweek

Winterfresh is a wintergreen flavored variety of chewing gum made by the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company. Introduced in the United States in 1994 as an alternative to their Big Red brand (for the winter season market), it has had two packaging designs . Extra gum, a sugarless gum, introduced a Winterfresh flavor in 1988, while Freedent introduced a Winterfresh flavor around the same time the Winterfresh brand gum was introduced.

Each three-gram stick contains 10 calories (42 kilojoules).

Cool Breath Power commercials
From 2006 to 2008, Winterfresh aired a series commercials called "Cool Breath Power", as most of them were "Attraction Chronicles". These commercials were targeted at the teen demographic, and typically featured a narrator giving bizarre love advice in a bizarre world. Its director, illustrator, and animator was Karl Ackermann and Newgrounds animator LoveMaestro21, done in an old style of Macromedia Flash by Milky Elephant, with some people believing that the animation is very similar to early seasons of South Park.

Its creative directors were Bobby Pawar, Miles Turpin, and Sean Donohue, who also is the art director of the commercials.

When Frank, a friend from Hamburg, Germany, was visiting us in New York City, we were chatting about recipes and food. As always. When Frank mentioned Rumtopf - an oldfashioned dessert or dessert topping - I didn't even know how to make it. Because I cannot remember we would have made it in Austria. And since spring is the perfect time to start it, we decided to start the Rumtopf project. I asked him for a recipe and how to make it and we went to our local farmers market here on Staten Island to get the ingredients we would need. Strawberries and Blackberries. To get the rum we needed, we actually had to go to Brooklyn. Well I guess it's ok to go to Brooklyn to get such a rare find as "Stroh Rum" of Austria. Once we collected the ingrecients we started right away.
Start the rum pot in spring. Take a clay pot or if you don't have a clay pot, take any other non-transparent pot. When it comes to the fruits, it doesn't matter how much you take of each ingredient. It is all about the ratio. If you put in 2 lbs of fruits into your rum pot, add 1 lb of granulated sugar. So it is a 2:1 ratio of fruits and sugar.
Then add rum. Captain Morgan rum comes with 35 % alcohol, Stroh Rum comes with 80 % alcohol. To receive the perfect alcohol quantity, add 2 parts Captain Morgan Rum and 1 part Stroh Rum to the rum pot. Add so much rum, that all fruits are covered by rum.
Wait for the next local seasonal fruits that come to your local farmers market and add them the same way you added the first fruits. Fruits and sugar in a 2:1 ratio and fill up with rum until they are fully covered. Repeat until thanksgiving.
Then you will have a fabulous dessert by using it as topping for ice cream for example.

Peninsula residents protest Trump inauguration, policies here and afar
Stanford University students delivered a list of demands to President Marc Tessier Lavigne's office after marching from Meyer Green to the Main Quad on Friday, Jan. 20, 2017, the day President Donald Trump was sworn into office. As they did after the November election, students asked university officials to protect undocumented immigrants by declaring Stanford a sanctuary campus and to do what it can to address the possibility of the government creating a Muslim registry. Megan Pierson, of the president's office, is pictured here accepting a poster with the student's pleas. (Jacqueline Lee / Daily News)
By Jacqueline Lee | jlee1@bayareanewsgroup.com |
PUBLISHED: January 20, 2017 at 12:54 p.m. | UPDATED: January 20, 2017 at 6:01 p.m.
As Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th president of the United States, the Palo Alto, Menlo Park and Stanford University communities participated in acts of protest in their homes, across the Bay Area and in the nation's capital.
People lined up along El Camino Real in Menlo Park and Palo Alto at noon, prompted by a post at https://ecrprotest.blogspot.com calling for residents, students and employees to peacefully gather on El Camino from San Jose to San Francisco from noon to 1 p.m.
At the Embarcadero Road intersection in Palo Alto, hundreds gathered during a brief respite from rain, holding up homemade signs.
Susan Rubenstein, of Palo Alto, carrying a rainbow umbrella, said she is concerned that the new president is a threat to America's democratic values and the U.S. Constitution. She said his inaugural address backed up those fears.
"I think he could have done something to bring the country together — he didn't win the popular vote," said Rubenstein, who identifies as a moderate Democrat. "He missed every opportunity to do that and I think a lot of things he has done are a threat to democracy."
On the flip side, she said moderates and progressives need to dial down their rhetoric.
"What they're (saying) is just as divisive … and the people in the middle of the country have valid concerns and we can't keep doing to them what they did to us," Rubenstein said.
Dan Koppel, who works in Palo Alto, said he's not very political, but he came out to express his disagreement with Trump's tone and "retrograde policies."
"I think his tone goes beyond the pale of normal human decency and normal civil discourse," Koppel said. "This is different than somebody you just disagree with. … We just want to voice our opinion that even though the election came out this way, a lot of people are not going to take things that are going to ruin this country."
Koppel said he's worried about what will happen to women's rights, climate change efforts and nuclear weapons over the next four years.
"We're going back in time and obviously climate change is a huge issue; there's no economy without ecology," he said.
Rich Albert and Marcia Pugsley, residents of Channing House, a Palo Alto retirement community, said they would fight against Trump's "divisiveness and rhetoric" by supporting causes and organizations that might be threatened by the new administration. Albert said he recently began supporting the ACLU and Planned Parenthood.
"I put my money where my mouth is," he said.
Between 40 and 50 residents from Channing House mobilized for the sidewalk protest, Albert said, mostly over fears that Congress will try to scrap the Affordable Care Act and to sound a call for Trump to release his tax returns.
"The American people have to be on their guard," Albert said. "They have to ignore what he says and watch what he does, and then voice our opinions for a progressive and inclusive outcome."
Stanford students and employees protested Trump's inauguration and his policies by walking out of class and work before noon on Friday and gathering at Meyer Green on campus.
Speakers shared their concerns over Trump's rhetoric about Mexican and Muslim immigrants. During Trump's campaign, he referred to Mexican immigrants as racists and criminals, touted assembling a deportation force and said he would build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico. Trump also talked about creating a registry of Muslim citizens.
Stanford protesters marched to the Main Quad, chanting phrases such as "No justice, no peace," and "An injury to one is an injury to all." They delivered a list of demands, such as declaring Stanford a sanctuary campus for undocumented immigrants, as they did after the November election, to Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne's office.
In a news release, Stanford student organizer Thao Nguyen said the demonstration is to "show Trump and his incoming administration that we will counter the rhetoric of hate and resist policies that dehumanize people."
"We, the community of Stanford, stand in opposition to the rhetoric and policies of the President-elect and his administration," Nguyen said in a statement. "We have all been affected by the rhetoric of the election, and have watched in horror as Trump selects a cast of racists, anti-LGBT bigots, and climate change deniers for his cabinet of billionaires and generals."
Early Friday morning, around the time Trump was sworn in as president, Palo Alto resident Holly Brady boarded a plane to Washington, D.C. for the Women's March on Washington on Saturday.
Brady said she's offended by how Trump talks about women and she's concerned he will roll back women's rights to abortion and follow through with plans to deport immigrants.
"I guess I can give the money I'm using for my airfare to the Southern Poverty Law Center," Brady said, "but it feels really important right now to stand up and be counted."
Once in D.C., Brady will meet a group of about 30 members of the St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Palo Alto.
St. Mark's Rev. Matthew McDermott, who is not traveling with the group, explained that parishioners are protesting to uphold American values and stand in opposition to the present political climate of disrespect and disregard.
"They're making sure all voices are heard, especially those with less means and less power, and seeing that as patriotic in terms of American values for the newcomer, the immigrant, the person trying to create a new life," McDermott said by phone Thursday.
Other Bay Area residents plan to attend marches on the same day in San Jose, San Francisco, Oakland and Sacramento, among other Northern California locations.
Palo Alto resident Gayle Brugler can't attend the rallies, so she's protesting in her own way: Knitting so-called "pussy hats" with pointed cat ears out of hot pink yarn for women to wear during the marches.
The movement appropriates the derogatory word that dominated the election cycle when a leaked tape showed Trump making lewd comments in 2005.
In the video, Trump tells then Access Hollywood host Billy Bush how he can treat women because he's famous: "Grab them by the p—-. You can do anything."
When Brugler learned of the movement, she went down to the Michael's in Mountain View and bought a pound of yarn though she hasn't knitted in 25 years.
One hat will travel to D.C. with Brady, who is part of a weekly walking group with Brugler. Another was for Palo Alto resident Jackie Wheeler, who is attending the San Francisco march.
"And the one I'm knitting now is for me," Brugler said.
The Peninsula Peace and Justice Center has organized a #NotOurPresident protest from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. today. Protesters plan to hold signs to form a "human billboard" picket at the corner of El Camino Real and Embarcadero Road. The event takes place rain or shine.
Regionally, residents also asked Congresswoman Anna Eshoo, D-Palo Alto, to join other legislators in boycotting the inauguration Friday morning.
Eshoo ultimately decided to do so.
"I'm attending the inauguration not to celebrate who is taking the oath, but to live up to mine. And by doing so, I hope to set a good example for all I'm privileged to represent," Eshoo said in a statement.
About 250,000 tickets to the inauguration were distributed to members of Congress for constituents. It's unclear how many Eshoo's office received for residents in the area, but all were given away in a lottery.

SOPHiA GENETICS - So Far, So Good…
By RTTNews Staff Writer ✉ | Published: 1/14/2022 4:55 AM ET
Shares of SOPHiA GENETICS SA (SOPH) have gained over 25% in the last seven trading days and trade around $15.
SOPHiA GENETICS is a Switzerland-based healthcare technology company pioneering data-driven medicine revolution.
Data-driven medicine is the practice of drawing insights from large data sets to improve diagnosis, treatment and drug development. Using data-driven medicine, healthcare professionals enhance their own expertise and intuition with data insights and shared knowledge from their peers to inform the best course of action for their patients or research.
SOPHiA GENETICS is the creator of SOPHiA DDM Platform, a cloud-based SaaS platform capable of analyzing data and translating them into actionable insights to support clinical experts in their fight against cancers and inherited diseases.
The SOPHiA DDM platform finds its use in analyzing genomic data across oncology, rare diseases, infectious diseases, cardiology, neurology, metabolism and other disease areas.
The company also offers the Alamut suite of genomics mutation interpretation software that allows customers deeper and more informed genomic data interpretation.
More than 790 hospital, laboratory and biopharma customers globally are being served through the SOPHiA platform and related solutions, products and services.
The company has been able to grow its revenue over the years, thanks to increasing demand for its products and services.
Revenue, which was $25.4 million in full-year 2019, rose to $28.4 million in 2020.
For the nine months ended Sep.30, 2021, revenue was $29.5 million. SOPHiA Genetics expects full year revenue for 2021 to be greater than $40 million, representing growth of at least 41% over the prior year.
Last month, the company launched DEEP-Lung-IV, a clinical study that aims to predict immunotherapy treatment response at first evaluation at the individual patient level using data across multiple modalities including genomics, radiomics, clinical and biological data. The study also aims to validate an algorithm that will allow the prediction of outcomes at the individual patient such as progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
The study is designed to enroll 4,000 patients from roughly 30 sites across North America, Europe, and Latin America. Since study launch, 12 sites across 5 countries have signed up for participation in the study, according to the company.
Considering the continued strong momentum for its products and services, the company has forecast 2022 revenue to be in the range of $51.5 million to $54 million.
SOPHiA GENETICS made its debut on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on July 23, 2021, offering its shares at a price of $18 each.
SOPH has thus far hit a low of $11.54 and a high of $19.80. The stock closed Thursday's trading at $15.60, up 11.43%.

Q: How to define shaders as external .glsl files (vertex, fragment) in A-Frame? https://aframe.io/docs/master/components/material.html#registering-a-custom-glsl-shader
Currently, we can specify vertex/fragment shaders as strings in AFRAME.registerShader. How can I maintain the shaders as separate files so I don't have to code within a long string?

A: There isn't a way in A-Frame to automatically reference an external shader file. They must be a string right now. It's how three.js shaders are defined, and having them defined within the JS file makes it easier to share and for others to consume without having to referencing several files.
What we can do is use build tools though.
Have your vertex and fragment shaders defined in .glsl files...
myVertex.glsl
myFragment.glsl
myAFrameShader.js

Write your shader like so:
AFRAME.registerShader('my-shader', {
  vertexShader: require('./myVertex.glsl'),
  fragmentShader: require(./myFragment.glsl')
});

Then install a build tool. Webpack works well since it won't throw up when trying to require a .glsl file without configuration. Webpack is a module bundler, which is what we are doing, bundling multiple files into one:
npm install -g webpack
npm install --g webpack-glsl-loader

Then
webpack --module-bind 'glsl=webpack-glsl' myAFrameShader.js output/myAFrameShader.js

Q: How to create one directory in the tree of directories ubuntu? I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS a little while ago and I consider myself a beginner.
I get the following window:

I wonder if there is any way to create a folder in the "Places" area in the tree of directories Ubuntu?
And I was wondering also you can create another region beyond the three standard areas "Places", "Device" and "Network"? Is there something similar in Gnome like the structure of the Windows directory tree?
This would help me a lot to organize my directories, for I have now created many folders in my folder pesssoal in /home/ricardoramos/ and I am polluted my folder Desktop with new files and folders.

A: Yes, you can create Bookmarks. Just go inside the folder you want to bookmark and select Bookmark this location in the Bookmarks section of the top panel. Or use Ctrl + D keyboard shortcut.

Home Motorcycle Racing News Superbike: BMW 2010 Winter Test Wrap Up
Superbike: BMW 2010 Winter Test Wrap Up
2011 World Superbike Prep
Team BMW Motorrad Motorsport completed its last winter tests of 2010 on Tuesday.
In preparation for the 2011 FIM Superbike World Championship, BMW works superbike riders Troy Corser (AUS) and Leon Haslam (GBR), spent three days of testing at the Spanish race track of Jerez (Wednesday to Friday), followed by two more days at Portimao in Portugal (Monday and Tuesday).
The Superbike riders were joined by BMW test rider, Steve Martin (AUS), and Leon's father, Ron Haslam, who also completed some laps on the BMW S 1000 RR Superbike.
Unfortunately both tests at Jerez and Portimao were hampered by rain, and the team had only one day of dry running, which was the Thursday at Jerez. During the five days, the team completed a total of 1.540 test kilometers.
Team BMW Motorrad Motorsport used the five days to work on the suspension and the superbike engine of the BMW S 1000 RR, and tested several new chassis parts and adjustments.
Troy and Leon both also tried a new Öhlins front fork on the BMW Superbike, which was initially developed for MotoGP, new brakes and geometry changes.
The World Superbike team is quite satisfied with the progress made at these final tests of the year.
At Jerez, especially on the dry Thursday, it was possible to make big improvements to the BMW Superbike chassis. Also with the engine some steps were made, but because of the bad weather the progress in this area was not as big as the team had hoped for. The team focused on rideability in the wet.
In Portimao, BMW Motorrad Italia Superbike rider James Toseland had his first roll-out with the BMW S 1000 RR.
Now work continues back home at the facilities in Munich and Stephanskirchen (GER). The next winter test will take place at the end of January at Eastern Creek and then Phillip Island (AUS).
Troy Corser (BMW Motorrad Superbike) says: "Unfortunately we had the bad weather, but on the dry day at Jerez we gathered lots of good information. My comments and those of Leon were pretty much in parallel regarding the areas we want to improve, and the areas where we think we are heading in the right direction."
"We tried many different things on the suspension together with Ohlins, which was also very good. Unfortunately the rain followed us from Jerez to Portimao, but to get some wet testing is also quite valuable, because during the season it can rain at any track we go to."
"Riding in the rain also helped us to tackle some of the problems we have in the dry. It is actually easier to get a feeling for the problems and to see them on the telemetry, because everything happens a bit slower, so the actual problem is a lot clearer."
"Unfortunately we did not have a lot of dry track time, but I think we got a lot of information for the development of the bike. I celebrated my 39th birthday during the tests, but I have to say I do not feel older than I did when I was 30."
"I am looking forward to next year, to being successful and possibly becoming the oldest champion. I will now spend a lot of time back home in Australia and will work on my fitness with my trainer Ko. We plan to do an intensive program, because I really want to do improve my fitness even more."
Leon Haslam (BMW Motorrad Superbike) says: "We made good progress. In Portimão we did not have any dry time, but on Monday I was quickest in the wet in the morning and quickest on the drying track in the afternoon."
"On the last day, we were down to the times where we should be. However, we were not even pushing to get a fast run, but we were just looking to improve the bike in a few different areas. It would have been nice if it had been dry, so we could have made even more progress, but I am happy."
"In the next weeks I have a lot to do. I will first visit the motorcycle show in Birmingham, and then receive some awards. On 12th December I will go to Sweden – where I and my fiancée, Olivia, will get married on the 15th!"
"After Christmas we will go on honeymoon to Borneo, and then we already have the next tests in Australia. I am looking forward to a few weeks off now and to recharge my batteries for the New Year."

8 Simple Ways to Get Your Style Mojo Back After Becoming a Mom
How to Find Your Mom Style
September 13, 2016 by Katharine Stahl
Once upon a time, in certain circles, I was considered stylish, clothing-obsessed, and maybe even fashion-forward. I worked as a magazine editor, and looking good seemed like a job requirement, one that I relished, along with the endless parties, all of which obviously (in my mind at least) required a new outfit. Then I became a mom, started working from home, and my closet full of event-ready dresses, chic tops, and way-too-small skinny jeans sat mocking me . . . for years. My formerly fabulous closet collected dust, then became decidedly outdated and age-inappropriate, as I spent half a decade reaching for the yoga pants, striped t-shirts, and sack dresses that had become my sad staples.
It wasn't until recently, five years after I had my daughter and two after I had my son, that I've reclaimed my inner fashionista, version 2.0. At my daughter's kindergarten curriculum night last week, I complimented a mom friend of mine on her cute top. "That means a lot coming from you," she replied. "You always look so stylish." I thanked her and moved on, but inside I was beaming. It was the first time anyone who had only met me after I became a mom had acted like my style-sense was a given. "Baby, I'm back," I wanted to shout.
Call me shallow, but how I dress has always been a big part of my identity. Somewhere during the years of pregnancy, breastfeeding, and baby and toddler raising, I lost that part of myself, and I missed it. Here are some simple ways that I got it back, and you can, too.
1. Embrace your new body, but don't forget to take care of it.
A big part of my years of style apathy (besides consistent sleep deprivation) revolved around me waiting to look like my old, 10-pounds-thinner self before I bought anything that cost more than $20. Eventually, I did lose most of that weight, but surprise, surprise, my body was still different, and I needed new clothes to flatter my wider hips and rounder belly. Once I started accepting my new bod instead of acting like it was a temporary imposition, I wanted to dress it up.
2. Find a place you can primp.
My kids will give me approximately 30-45 seconds to get ready at home, which is why I shower and dress every morning at the gym, while my toddler is safely ensconced in the childcare area. For me, putting on an outfit I put a little thought into (and didn't sleep in the night before) and a little makeup makes me feel more like myself.
3. Give yourself a seasonal uniform.
I used to love a diverse wardrobe, but these days, I keep it simple. Summer is shift dresses or shorts and short-sleeved tees or button-downs with sandals. Fall and Spring are long-sleeved button downs and skinny or straight jeans with cute sneakers or flats, and in Winter, I pretty much wear an oversize sweater, jeans, and ankle boots every day. If I need to dress things up, I add a statement accessory or heels.
4. Ditch clothes that don't work for your current life.
It took me way too long to get rid of the insane number of expensive cocktail and work dresses that I had collected throughout my 20s, but I eventually realized that their day had come and gone, that both fashion and I had moved on. Getting rid of the past freed me up to find a fashionable new look (and a ton of closet space).
5. Buy a new bra, like, today.
Still wearing a nursing bra with a drop cup a year after giving up breastfeeding like I was? Throw it in the trash and go buy yourself something pretty — now.
6. Find safe shops.
Shopping as a 37-year-old mom can make you feel like Goldilocks searching for the "just right" store. It seems like every retailer skews too young or too old. Find a few shops where you feel like you could confidently wear pretty much anything inside (mine are Madewell, Anthropologie, and J.Crew), and relieve the stress.
7. Don't wait for a wedding to buy that great dress.
Every woman knows the rule: Have nothing on the calendar and you'll see a million cute cocktail dresses to covet. But when you're looking for a dress for an event, you won't find a single one. Buy the great dress that works with your new style — and that you feel comfortable in — before you need it, so it's already there when you do.
8. Don't feel guilty about spending money on yourself.
This has been a big one for me now that my household clothing budget has to cover four people, not just me. I've learned that I don't have to spend a ton of money to look stylish, and no matter the cost, it's worth it to me. After all, I like clothes. Always have, always will.

The third meeting of the Persistent Organic Pollutants Review Committee (POPRC.3) of the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) took place from 19-23 November 2007, in Geneva, Switzerland.
POPRC.3 considered several operational issues, including the naming of commercial products and mixtures and the listing of precursors. The Committee approved the risk management evaluation for five chemicals, and recommended that COP.4 consider listing under Annex A, B, or C: lindane; chlordecone; hexabromobiphenyl (HBB); pentabromodiphenyl ether (pentaBDE); and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), its salts and PFOS fluoride (PFOSF). Risk profiles were approved for four chemicals, and POPRC.3 adopted a draft work programme to prepare draft risk management evaluations for those chemicals, namely on: commercial octabromodiphenyl ether, pentachlorobenzene, and alpha and beta hexachlorocyclohexane.
Five chemicals were slated to reach the final and third step of the review process, a further five entered the second phase, and one new chemical was nominated. As such, POPRC.3 was an opportunity for the Committee to draw on experience gained during the previous two meetings and make recommendations to the COP. POPRC.3 however encountered significant hurdles as its members disagreed over how to address several of the "high-stakes" chemicals on the agenda, in particular short-chained chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) and PFOS. While consensus was reached on recommending listing PFOS acid, its salts, and PFOSF in Annex A or B of the Convention, a decision on the SCCPs risk profile was postponed until POPRC.4, as was the consideration of the newly nominated chemical, endosulfan. Nevertheless, POPRC-3 successfully moved decisions on nine chemicals to the next stage of the listing process. *)
POPRC.4 is scheduled to convene from 13-17 October, 2008 in Geneva Switzerland.

Comcast is an American multinational mass media company, active in digital cable, cable Internet access, cable telephone services, and radio. With its many products and services under the Xfinity brand name, Comcast sought out a partner who could help with the challenge of how to train store sales staff in the finer nuances of selling: prospect identification, upselling, and cross-selling. To achieve this objective, Comcast engaged the services of GP Strategies.
With over 50 years' experience in training, GP Strategies designed a course with emphasis on the three dimensions of sales productivity: identifying high-potential prospects on the sales floor, upselling within a service category, and cross-selling multiple service categories. The course took the form of a branching activity where learners make critical choices during sales scenarios and receive intrinsic feedback in the form of consequences and opportunities presented during an unfolding narrative.
After the successful implementation of the course, GP Strategies, together with Comcast, won a Gold Brandon Hall Excellence award for Best Custom Content.

Train is a San Francisco pop rock band that formed in July 1994. The band originally consisted of lead vocalist/drummer Patrick Monahan and guitarist/bassist Rob Hotchkiss. Later, former Apostles members Jimmy Stafford and Charlie Colin playing guitar and bass, joined Train. At a later date, Scott Underwood joined Train, playing drums and keyboards.

The original lineup of five released two studio albums, their eponymous album, Train, which reached platinum, and their double-platinum album, Drops of Jupiter. As the band was recording their third album, later to go platinum, My Private Nation, Rob Hotchkiss left in late 2002, to pursue a solo career, after recording six tracks that would later be on the album. Soon after, bassist Charlie Colin, left Train in October 2003.

For a short time, Train was a trio in 2003. They recruited bassist Johnny Colt, former member of The Black Crowes, and keyboardist Brandon Bush, late in the same year. For touring, the band also recruited guitar player Tony Lopacinski. Lopacinski never took part in recording an album with the band. The remaining five members released the band's fourth studio album on January 31, 2006, titled For Me, It's You. After the tour for the album, Tony Lopacinski left the band.

The band decided to go on hiatus in November 2006. In May 2009, during the recording of their fifth studio album, Johnny Colt and Brandon Bush decided to depart from Train and the band became a trio once again. On October 27, 2009, the trio released their fifth studio album, entitled Save Me, San Francisco, their first new album in nearly four years. Since May 2009, Hector Maldonado (bass/vocals/guitar/percussion) and Jerry Becker (keyboards/guitar) have been part of the touring and recording group. On April 13, 2012, the band released their sixth studio album, California 37. That same year, Sakai Smith and Nikita Houston started touring with the band as backing singers, and also Drew Shoals joined the band as a new drummer, Underwood switched to keyboards and Becker took over guitar duties.

In June 2014, Scott Underwood left the band. After Underwood's departure, the band went on to release their seventh studio album on September 12, 2014, titled Bulletproof Picasso. Their eighth studio album, a special Christmas album titled Christmas in Tahoe was released on November 13, 2015. A few months later on June 3, 2016, the band released their ninth studio album, a cover album of Led Zeppelin songs titled Train Does Led Zeppelin II.

In October 2016, shortly after the release of their ninth studio album, Jimmy Stafford announced that he would be becoming only a part-time member of the band. This led to Luis Maldonado joining the band as a full-time guitarist. On January 27, 2017, the band released their tenth studio album titled A Girl, a Bottle, a Boat. Stafford eventually decided to leave the band for good a few months later in mid-2017. Currently, Pat Monahan is the only founding member of the band left.

A: I would bet that you have more than one hibernate jar on your classpath and that's why it's throwing a class cast exception.
The other bit that looks wrong (but might be right) is that you're using JTA transactions. If you have no clue what JTA means, change the transaction-type on persistance.xml to transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL"

A: I used to get this error when having Entity beans that inherited from one another. Even though they were corectly annotated (in accordance to JPA2 specs), they didn't work in Hibernate (there are numerous such bugs with Hibernate JPA2 implementation). Finally what I did is add very specific (though not mandatory from JPA2s point of view) configuration (via annotations) for the discriminator column (@DiscriminatorValue("SomeValue")), the columns used for the JOINs (@PrimaryKeyJoinColumn(name = "idColumn")). From your code snipped it doesn't appear that you're using inheritance, but if you infact are, try that.
Also, if your project allows it, switch from Hibernate to Eclipselink as a JPA2 implementation. I had countless occurances where correct JPA2 code worked fine in EclipseLink but threw bizzare exceptions in Hibernate.

Press Releases »
Major Changes to Hart-Scott-Rodino Premerger Notification Requirements to Take Effect February 1, 2001
Filing Threshold Will be Increased to $50 Million; Fees to Vary Based on Size of Transaction
On February 1, 2001, significant changes will take effect regarding the filing requirements of the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (15 U.S.C. 18a), which requires certain companies and others to notify the Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) before completing transactions such as mergers and acquisitions. Chief among these changes are an increase from $15 million to $50 million in the transaction value threshold over which companies must file premerger notification forms, as well as the implementation of a new tiered fee structure, with companies paying $45,000 for transactions valued at less than $100 million, $125,000 for transactions valued at $100 million to less than $500 million, and $280,000 for transactions valued at $500 million or more.
Under the HSR Act's provisions, certain acquired and acquiring persons must file a notification and report form with the FTC and the DOJ to provide advance notification of mergers and acquisitions. The agencies use this information to determine if the proposed transaction may be anticompetitive and to take enforcement action, if appropriate, to prevent the consummation of transactions that violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act. Only after observing the waiting period under the HSR Act may the companies complete the proposed transaction.
Through the reform bill signed by the President, the following changes will occur in the HSR filing requirements:
The size of transaction threshold will increase to over $50 million (replacing the current over $15 million threshold).
The 15 percent size of transaction threshold will be eliminated. This means that the over $50 million threshold will be an absolute floor -- no transaction resulting in an acquiring person holding $50 million or less of assets or voting securities of an acquired person will have to be reported.
Transactions valued at more than $200 million will be reportable without regard to "size of person." The current size of person test (which generally requires one side of the transaction to have sales or assets in excess of $100 million and the other $10 million) will continue to be in place for transactions valued at $200 million or less.
All dollar thresholds will be adjusted each fiscal year, beginning with fiscal year 2005, to reflect changes in the gross national product during the previous year.
A tiered fee structure will be implemented, replacing the existing uniform filing fee. Currently, the acquiring person in all reportable transactions must pay a $45,000 filing fee. Under the new legislation, the fee that the acquiring person must pay will be based on the value of the voting securities or assets held as a result of the transaction. The fees will range from $45,000 to $280,000, as detailed above. The dollar thresholds will be adjusted annually, beginning with fiscal year 2005, to reflect changes in the GNP during the previous year.
The length of the waiting period that follows substantial compliance with a "second request" for additional information will become 30 days for most transactions (instead of 20 days under the current law). The 10-day period for cash tenders (and bankruptcy transactions) will not change.
If the end of any waiting period is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, it will end on the next regular business day.
In accordance with these statutory reforms, the Commission, with the concurrence of the DOJ Assistant Attorney General for Antitrust, has implemented certain changes to its premerger notification rules and notification form. In conjunction with these rule changes, the Commission has also amended its Rules of Practice to reflect an internal appeals process for second requests. Premerger rules changes are detailed on the Commission's Internet Web site within the Antitrust/Competition (Premerger/Hart-Scott-Rodino Act) section. The changes to the premerger rules and notification form and the changes to the Rules of Practice are being published in two separate Federal Register notices and will become effective on February 1, 2001. The Commission has also approved publication of an additional Federal Register notice setting forth certain proposed HSR amendments for public comment for 45 days after Federal Register publication.
The Commission votes to approve publication of these notices were each 5-0. The notices will be published in the Federal Register shortly. Comments should be sent to: Federal Trade Commission, Office of the Secretary, 600 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Washington, D.C. 20580. Comments may also be sent via e-mail to: hsr-rules@ftc.gov.
Copies of the HSR reform legislation and a summary of the changes that will take effect on February 1 are available from the FTC's Web site at http://www.ftc.gov and also from the FTC's Consumer Response Center, Room 130, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20580.

Q: Add (not create) remote branches to local repo using git-svn I am working on big SVN repository using git-svn. Pure svn is very slow. I should have cloned my repository using command:
git svn clone <rep_url> -T trunk/ -b branches/ --no-minimize-url css
but I did it by
git svn clone <rep_url> -T trunk/ --no-minimize-url css
or
git svn clone <rep_url> -b branches/ --no-minimize-url css
I don't know exact command I executed
Now I am facing issue because when I do git branch -a it shows me only trunk (master) branch:
* master
  remotes/origin/trunk

I want to see all branches in git branch -a output. I have another copy of this same repository and I cloned it using both switches -T and -b. When I do git branch -a in this another repository it shows me list of branches also like:
* master
  remotes/origin/trunk
  remotes/origin/branch1
  remotes/origin/branch2
  remotes/origin/branch3
  remotes/origin/branch4
  branch1
  branch2

How can I add remote branches to my repository?
Is it possible?
Note that typing git branch branch1 remotes/origin/branch1 doesn't work

A: Fortunately, I have fixed that. I have just compared two .git/config files (one from this repo, and second from repo with branches) and I noticed there is no branches key in [svn-remote "svn"] section, so after copying that key (branches = branches/*:refs/remotes/origin/*) and typing git svn fetch it downloaded all branches. It took for me 5 hours. But after that I can see list of all branches in git branch -a
Is modifying config file like that proper / safe solution?

As usual I am scrambling for time, but as I prepare a longer post on what I've been up to, I thought I'd drop in with a few snippets of news.
The next full post will be about my grand day out in London last week, which involved the Prime minister's despatch box, Oliver Cromwell's head, Richard I's dining table William Marshal, Roger Bigod, and the most beautiful church interior I have ever seen.
Also last week I went to see the Dalai Lama at Nottingham Arena. What a lovely sane and sensible man he is, with a droll sense of humour and a wonderful fruity laugh. His spiritual message of respect and tolerance was one I wholeheartedly endorse.
The above excursions explain why I haven't had much time for writing and why I'm behind with the blog and need to put on my writing pants re the day job. However, concerning the latter I am happy to report that:
1. THE TIME OF SINGING is now copy edited Agent and editor both love it - which is a relief, although even more relief will be once it has passed muster with the readers. The cover is almost sorted too and I do like it a lot.
2. I have finished re-editing THE WILD HUNT, taking 15,000 words off it in the process while losing nothing of the story. I guess I've learned to control the waffle better these days! Editor is pleased with the rewrite, so again, that's another hurdle jumped. It has been interesting revisiting Guyon and Judith after all these years. I have a soft spot for them because it was their story that finally opened a publisher's door to me after almost seventeen years of writing as a hobby. It also won me a Betty Trask award and brought me to Whitehall to have my prize presented by Prince Charles - a bit different to stacking shelves in the local supermarket which is what I'd been doing before.
3. I am 3 chapters into the new novel - the story of William Marshal's daughter, and what a girl she is proving to be. Definitely strong-willed and uppity. That she became Marshal of England towards the end of her life comes as no surprise to me as I investigate her character.
Back in a short while. In the meantime, I'll leave you with a glimpse from the Luttrell Psalter film, due out June 6th. Just beautiful!

Cartmel - William Marshal's Prior(it)y
A few months ago a reader wrote to me - a Mr. Peter Douglas. He had enjoyed my novels about William Marshal - The Greatest Knight and The Scarlet Lion, particularly so because he is a Server and choir member at William's foundation of Cartmel Priory in Cumbria. Mr Douglas has been kind enough to send me a guide book and postcards relating to the Priory and I thought this was a good opportunity to write a blog about it in William's day and to say a public thank you to Mr Douglas for sending me information about the Priory.
Cartmel Priory stands in the Cartmel valley, not far from Grange Over Sands and just round the corner from the modern resort of Morecambe. Click here for a map of the region. http://tinyurl.com/25dtdl
William was granted the land on which Cartmel is built by Henry II in approximately 1186, and the plans for founding a priory probably got off the ground around that time. At this period, William was newly returned from the Holy Land and had been granted lands in the north of England. He was also granted the wardship of an heiress - Heloise of Kendal, and it may even be that Henry II expected William to marry her. However, William had grander prospects in mind and in 1189, following Henry's death, Richard Coeur de Lion rewarded William's service with the hand of Isabelle de Clare, one of the greatest heiresses in the land.
Her wealth gave William sufficient funds to begin work on Cartmel in earnest.
It was an Augustinian Priory and when it first started, its community was formed from monks at the Priory of Bradenstoke in Wiltshire. William's parents and other relatives were buried at Bradenstoke and his family had strong ties with the place, so it was an ideal source from which to draw the first brethren.
The foundation charter dates to 1189. We don't know where it was signed, but we do know that it was executed in a public assembly and quite likely a palace because of the presence among the witnesses of Geoffrey FitzPeter, the King's right hand man. Richard himself wasn't present, but his brother John, as lord of Lancaster was, and so were all of William's closest relatives and the senior knights of his household.
William declared that he had founded Cartmel 'for the widening of the field of the Holy Religeon' and 'for the soul of the lord King Henry II, and for the soul of the Young King Henry my lord, and for the soul of King Richard; for my soul and soul of my wife Isabel, and those of my ancestors and successors and our heirs.'
Although the monks were drawn from Bradenstoke, Cartmel was to be completely independent of the other house. It was William's alone - his personal concern. It was always to remain a priory and was never to become an abbey, because that would have meant the king would be able to interfere with the advocacy. William was the priory's patron and to him would fall the formal right of choosing the prior, in consultation with two canons sent to him by the priory's chapter.
When William wrote his foundation charter for Cartmel he was very concerned with the future security of his project. As well as insisting it remain a priory and thus keeping the advocacy secured to him and his family, he also made sure that it was protected by a curse upon anyone who messed with Cartmel or intended it harm. Professor Crouch, author of William Marshal: Knighthood, War and Chivalry, 1147-1219, is of the opinion that William was being doggedly traditional in writing this curse into the foundation charter (as he also did for his foundation at Duiske in Ireland). Apparently it was becoming a bit old fashioned by his day to do this. However, knowing William as I do, I suspect he had seen or heard about what had happened to various religeous establishments during the civil War between Stephen and Matilda (Wherwell and Wilton come immediately to mind). I also think that he himself had been involved in the robbery of churches and shrines with his own lord The Young King. (Our Lady of Rocamadour for example) and it is my own belief that the curse was born of those experiences and intended to warn off any such behaviour upon his own establishments.
In later years, although Cartmel did undergo some ravages due to the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the reign of Henry VIII, it was saved from the fate of so many other establishments because it had been not only a monastery, but also a Parish church since its inception. The latter were unaffected by the Dissolution and thus Cartmel was permitted to remain in situ.
The Priory church of St Mary and St Michael at Cartmel has been a place of worship now for more than 800 years and continues today and very actively so as can be seen from the church's website. http://www.cartmelpriory.org.uk/index.htm I haven't gone into the later history of the church here, but the website has more details and I certainly hope to make my own visit there soon.

THE WINTER CROWN
Publishing in paperback 17th November 2015 in the UK
" Wow! I feel like someone used to watching movies in black and white but has just seen the first one in technicolor! " A personal letter from a reader.
"The Winter Crown ...will, I have no doubt, become the definitive fictional account of this remarkable woman.' ..." I've read a fair few fictional depictions of Henry II over the years and I must say that his portrait in The Winter Crown has the most authentic feel of them all."
Kate Atherton, author of For Winters Night blog.
"Eeanor's life story has been told many times over in historical novels but rarely with such insight, emotional intensity and page-turning readability." Pam Norfolk, Lancashire Evening Post.
"In the world of the arts, the Black Legend and the Golden Myth still hold sway, as seen in novels, such as Alison Weir's, which seek to portray both the scandalous, adulterous queen of legend and the powerful female ruler. Historians may shake their heads at the perpetuation of such myths, but many historical novelists such as Sharon Kay Penman and Elizabeth Chadwick are seeking to apply modern scholarship to their fiction, and consequently avoid the most egregious of the legends that surround Eleanor."
Professor Michael R. Evans in Inventing Eleanor - Bloomsbury Academic.
THE SUMMER QUEEN UK cover
US paperback cover. UK hardback
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE SUMMER QUEEN
"What I loved about this novel, and I have felt this way about all of Elizabeth's novels that I have read, is that she does not pander to stereotypes or write scandal for the sake of it. The historical Eleanor is defamed beyond belief- a whore chasing anything in trousers, a woman who committed incest with her uncle, a woman who was 'ahead of her time', and so on. Elizabeth's Alienor is none of these things. She is treated fairly, as a woman of her own time, written in a believable way. Elizabeth does not go for scandal because she does not need to- the writing in this novel makes that very clear. Her scene setting is lovely, her character development top notch, and the book is a compulsive page turner. I couldn't put it down." Sarah Bell
."The Summer Queen is a fabulous novel based on the most up-to-date and meticulous research. This is historical fiction at its best and I loved every page of it." Kate Atherton, blogger.
"I have read just about everything I can about Eleanor and enjoyed both biographical and fictional accounts of her life but I must say that your creation of Eleanor is the most compelling." Reader from Australia
"I loved the story; I loved the way the author wrote Alienor as a woman of her times instead of a thoroughly modern independent woman, or a slut in chase of anything in pants. As with all Chadwick novels, there's also the added plus of being sucked into another century with the sights, smells and sounds that wrap up a darn-near perfect reading experience. I couldn't put it down, and very sorry I'm going to have to wait for the next installment. Reader from the USA
"Meticulous research and strong storytelling." Woman & Home
"A rich and compelling read. " Candis Magazine
"I often see the expressions, `fleshing out the history' and `making it real', and they more than apply here...the main aspect that made me keep turning the pages and burning the midnight oil? The things that I didn't know about Alienor.." Reader from Australia
"Chadwick has succeeded where many other novelists have failed by giving us not just the legend but the very human young woman – intelligent, determined, witty and sexy." Pam Norfolk. Lancashire Evening Post.

(SPOT.ph) It's difficult not to be charmed by Le Petit Soufflé. The indoor greenery and cozy cushioned chairs channel the vibe of a café in Paris, while the pretty doodles on the walls reflect the cutesy aesthetic of Japan: a reflection of the French-Japanese fusion menu.
Light may be relative, especially with a dish like the Squid Ink Riz (P395). Although served in a small paella pan, the Japanese rice can be pretty heavy. Coated in squid ink, the rice is topped with generous amounts of shrimp, squid, and other shellfish, plus a creamy scrambled egg. The contrast between the black rice and the mildly flavored egg is beautiful, both looks-and taste-wise. Each bite has the distinctive flavor of the ink yet the freshness of the seafood still shines through.
The Chasyu Camembert (P375) also looks dainty, but don't let it fool you or your stomach. Japanese and French flavors merge deliciously on top of toast, with the intense flavor of the Camembert cheese tempered by the sweet melt-in-your-mouth pork and apple slices. A piece can be quite filling.
The Le Petit Soufflé Bacon, Cream and Egg Pasta (P355) is Snapchat-worthy, especially that moment when you slice into the airy soufflé-like egg until the yolk breaks and oozes down the pasta perfectly. The egg adds a perfect layer of creaminess to the dish while the sauce itself has a nutty taste punctuated by salty bites of bacon.
The soufflés, of course, are not to be missed. The Chicken Ratatouille Soufflé (P400) looks like a perfectly baked pie until you slice into it and discover it's actually an airy soufflé with a hearty chicken-and-ratatouille-rice center, whose strong tomato and basil flavor is complemented by the mild sweetness of the pastry.
Matcha lovers will have a grand time with the Matcha French Toast (P375). Hefty chunks of French toast are topped with a large dollop of cream, then matcha sauce is poured all over the dessert. The toast soaks in the sauce completely, giving the bread that earthy green tea taste many will love.
The Popcorn Mille Feuille (P250) is almost too exquisite to eat, but don't hesitate and smash that caramel popcorn topping with a spoon. It's the proper way to eat this beauty, with creamy and slightly buttery caramel sandwiched between layers of thin pastry. You'll be glad there's more of that caramel sauce drizzled around the plate too. This dessert hits the spot without going over the top with the sweetness.
But if there's something you shouldn't miss at Les Petit Souffle's new branch, it's Workshop Ph, a passion project by Chef Miko and Chef Kristine Lotilla. "Almost everything there is something you'd taste for the first time," says Miko, which doesn't make choosing from the wide variety of pastries any easier. The patisserie has almost everything from a Kalamansi Pili Tart (P190) to madeleines and a chocolate cake topped with a croissant. If you're really having a difficult time, you can't go wrong with a brownie called Life Changing (P80). It's extremely gooey and fudgy and is pure chocolate heaven—the perfect way to cap off your meal.

Strategic Storage Trust II Buys Self-Storage Facility in Tampa, FL, for $3.1M
TAGS: Investing and Real Estate Companies and Products News
Strategic Storage Trust II Inc. (SST II), a self-storage real estate investment trust, has acquired Rainbow Mini Storage in Tampa, Fla., for $3.1 million, or $63.16 per net rentable square foot. The property at 9823 W. Hillsborough Ave. comprises 50,070 net rentable square feet of storage space on 3.14 acres. Built in 1985, it has 12 buildings with 514 drive-up and climate-controlled units.
"We will continue to target self-storage assets in this market since Tampa is the second-most populous city in Florida," said Wayne Johnson, chief investment officer for SST II. "We see value-add possibilities and long-term rate growth opportunities at this Tampa property."
SST II and the seller, Rainbow Mini-Storage Inc., were represented by Jay J. Crotty, managing partner, and Thomas A. Doyle, senior vice president, of BayView Advisors.
"The property was owned by the original family [who] built it, but they felt the market conditions were strong enough to warrant selling right now," Crotty said. "It is in a highly sought-after Tampa location, which made the process very competitive. The property also has significant upside opportunities for occupancy and rate increases for the buyer to capitalize on."
The SST II portfolio includes 18,500 self-storage units and approximately 2 million rentable square feet of storage space.
Headquartered in Tampa, Fla., BayView specializes in self-storage acquisition, development, facility expansion and renovation, refinancing, and sales.

Chupa Chups, S. A  es una empresa española con sede en Barcelona, España, dedicada a la fabricación y venta de caramelos con palo. Fue fundada por el español Enric Bernat en el año 1958 en Villamayor (Asturias). La compañía actualmente pertenece al grupo italiano Perfetti Van Melle desde 2006.

Historia

En  1950, Enric Bernat, nieto del confitero Josep Bernat, decidió continuar con el oficio familiar y, a los veintiséis años, fundó la empresa Productos Bernat, con Nuria Serra, que era hija de un confitero de Barcelona. La empresa estaba especializada en la elaboración de peladillas. En  1954, el empresario Domingo Massanes le propuso hacerse cargo del grupo Granja Asturias, dedicado a la fabricación de productos relacionados con la manzana. En el año 1958, controlaba el 100% del capital de Granja Asturias. Ese mismo año, encargó un estudio a una consultora francesa sobre los hábitos de consumo de caramelos. Este indicaba que el 67% de los consumidores tenía menos de 16 años y que los niños se ensuciaban las manos cuando se sacaban el caramelo de la boca. Posteriormente, reprodujo el caramelo redondo en un palo, que en 1924, inventó IC Bar de la compañía estadounidense de Bellevue (Ohio), Akron Candy Co., al que puso el nombre de Dum-Dums, y que a día de hoy se siguen fabricando. Al principio el palo era de madera, pero luego se cambió por uno de plástico. Para asegurarse reducir la competencia en España, compró las patentes españolas de productos parecidos en 1959.

En el año 1958, comenzó a venderse como Chups. En el año 1961, se le cambió el nombre por el de Chupa Chups.

En el año 1964, la empresa asturiana pasó a llamarse Chupa Chups. En 1967 abrieron la fábrica de San Esteban de Sasroviras, en la provincia de Barcelona.

En la década de los años 60, la marca tenía el eslogan «Es redondo y dura mucho, Chupa Chups».

En 1969, la empresa abrió una fábrica en Bayona, Francia. El producto después empezó a venderse en Japón en 1977, en los Estados Unidos en 1980, en Alemania en el año 1982, en Italia en 1985, en Rusia en el año 1989, en China en 1994 y en México en 1996. Desde 2013, el producto de  vende en más de 108 países.

Uno de sus principales mercados es Rusia. En 1991, se inauguró la fábrica de Chupa Chups en San Petersburgo, Rusia. En el año 1997, Juan Carlos I viajó a Moscú y celebró las 1 000 millones de unidades vendidas en ese país.

Los astronautas rusos llevaron Chupa Chups en 1995 a la estación espacial Mir, convirtiéndose así en el primer caramelo consumido en el espacio.

En 1994, abrieron una fábrica en Shanghái, China. En 1996, abrieron una fábrica en Toluca, Estado de México, México.

Personajes como Johan Cruyff, Rivaldo, Mariah Carey, Spice Girls, Harrison Ford, Esther Cañadas, Giorgio Armani, Jorge Lorenzo, han protagonizado campañas y se les ha visto en lugares públicos saboreando Chupa Chups. En la serie de televisión del 1973, el actor Telly Savalas interpretaba al teniente Kojak de la policía de Nueva York consumiendo estos caramelos con palo.

A partir del año 2000, fueron bajando las ventas de los productos, lo que conllevó continuas pérdidas. Sufrió un cambio de la dirección de la compañía y una restructuración. En julio del año 2006, fue comprada por la empresa Italo-holandesa Perfetti Van Melle.

En 2003, se cerró la fábrica que tenía en Bayona (Francia). En enero de 2011, se cerró la fábrica que tenía en Villamayor.

En 2008, para conmemorar los cincuenta años de la marca, Chupa Chups organizó un concierto con la MTV en Barcelona, España, en el que estuvo Katy Perry. En el mes de Enero de 2006 la marca estuvo a punto de lanzar un nuevo sabor de chocolate con almendras.

Logotipo de Salvador Dalí

En 1968, Bernat se trasladó a Figueras (Gerona) para encargar al artista surrealista Salvador Dalí la realización del imagotipo de la compañía. Dalí tardó menos de una hora en diseñarlo, con forma de margarita amarilla. Al imagotipo se le realizaron algunas modificaciones a finales de la década de los años 80.

Smint

La empresa fue heredada en 1991 por los hijos de Bernat: Xavier, Ramón, Marcos, Marta y Nina. A comienzos de la década los años 90, la compañía adquirió dos fábricas: una en Alicante, que producía un caramelo de regaliz mentolado llamado Smint, y otra en Zaragoza, que producía caramelos pequeños. La empresa decidió combinar ambos productos, creando en 1994 el caramelo pequeño mentolado con xylitol llamado Smint.

A Florida appellate court recently held that it is not unambiguously clear whether a policy provision excluding losses caused by constant or repeated seepage or leakage over a period of 14 or more days also excludes losses caused by constant or repeated leakage or seepage over a period of less than�14 days. Hicks v. Am. Integrity Ins. Co. of Fla., 2018 WL 1020272 (Fla. 5th DCA Feb. 23, 2018).
The insured submitted a claim under its all-risks homeowner's policy for damage as a result of a supply line leak. The insurer retained an expert who determined that the leak had been ongoing for five weeks or more. The insurer denied the claim based on an exclusion that precluded coverage for damage caused by "[c]onstant or repeated seepage or leakage of water ... over a period of fourteen (14) or more days." The insured sued for breach of contract. The insurer moved for summary judgment, arguing that because the leak occurred over a period of more than 14 days, the provision excluded coverage for the loss. The insured filed a cross-motion for summary judgment, arguing damage occurring within the first 13 days were covered. The trial court granted summary judgment in the insurer's favor. The insured appealed.
On appeal, the insured argued that the exclusion applied only to losses "caused by water damage occurring on day 14 and onward." The appellate court held, in light of the general principle that policy provisions susceptible to more than one interpretation should be construed in favor of coverage and strictly against an insurer, that the constant or repeated seepage exclusion did not unambiguously exclude losses caused by leakage or seepage over a period of 13 days or less. The appellate court reversed and remanded the case to the trial court to enter partial summary judgment in the insured's favor on the issue of coverage within the first 13 days of the leak.
