What this system does good is, you learn to consume healthy food. Isagenix 30 day weight loss system consists of meal replacement shakes, cleansing and flushing products, vitamin/mineral supplements and hydration tonics to keep the body healthier and functioning whilst they try to place it under the guise of losing weight. People might lose some weight but, if you get back to eating the way you did before after 30 days, you will gain it back. Another major ciriticism is the ridiculously high price (which might be because of the MLM business model). Most detox supplements and programs in the market come relatively cheap, and moreover, detox and cleanse doesn't guarantee long term weight loss. Yet, when you request your money back because you lost zero pounds in 30 days, they claim it's not a weight loss product, but just a cleansing product. There are better, more-flexible, long term weight loss programs out there, that also provide good value for money. We recommend IdealShape 30 days plan.
The Isagenix 30-Day Weight Loss System is a popular Isagenix diet program featuring every product you will need to get your fat loss journey off the ground and keep it running.
Isagenix's 30-Day System ($378.50 per month) features meal replacement shakes to help support your efforts to burn and lose unwanted fat" and nourish your body's natural detoxification systems.
The 30-day supply of the Cleansing and fat loss System with IsaLean Pro (their protein shake for weight loss) helps you create a whole-body cleansing and nutrient want to optimize wellness, release weight and feel more energetic.
Having a myriad of safe and effective cleansing, weight loss, and health products proven to rid the body of toxins, increase weight loss, and promote improved health, the Isagenix 30-Day Weight Loss System is good for anyone searching of more energy, a trimmer waist, and a better quality of life.
Overall, the 30-day Cleanse Pak helps you create nutritional cleansing and abundant nutrition for the body to provide improved health, plus aid you in feeling younger with more energy.
It had been this Isagenix 30-Day Cleansing and Fat Burning system (along with extra supportive products like Natural Accelerator , IsaFlush , and also the adaptogenic-drink Ionix Supreme ) that propelled the company to new heights in bringing convenient health and fat management to thousands of people.
On your Cleanse days, you may expect to your water intake to help the Cleanse for Life supplement move through your system, taking unwanted toxins with it. Cleansing is vital for health and weight loss, so don't skip the Cleanse days!
Although a lot more leaned towards a fast fix or temporary solution, it's a complete nutritional cleansing system offering enough meal replacement shakes, cleansing items, snacks, and vitamins to fuel your fat loss and increase your health.
You consume the program for 30 days, and during that time, you have 4 times of cleanse back to back. In a month some people could lose almost 4 inches all over and around 20 pounds. However, if you get back to eating the way you did before, you will gain it back – no matter what system you carry on. What did this system does good is, you learn to consume healthy food.
So the take away is – if you don't want to invest the money – and it's also expensive – around $250-$325 for the 30 days package and you make your own meals, they just throw in the towel dairy, sugar, packaged food, processed flood, fast food, meat and eat clean"…limit your consumption to 1200 calories and if you exercise, half the amount of calories you burn per day and add that to the 1200 calories and you will drop some weight.
Unfortunately Isagenix tells you that you are able to eat much more including 400-600 calorie meals but people with highest success rate have limited that list to the max for best results.
On this system, you replace two meals every day with 'Isalean' shakes, eat one 400 to 600 calorie meal, consume their other supplements and the 'Cleanse for Life, 1 Ionix Supreme' cleanse, the 'IsaFlush accelerator' and energy snacks.
Ionix supreme and cleanse for life provide crucial nutrients to keep consistently the body healthier and protect against different conditions – supplementation of vitamins and minerals is really a great way to stay healthy whenever losing weight, once we get less nutritional elements simply because we consume less food.
Yet, when you request your money back because you lost zero pounds in 30 days, they claim it's not a weight loss product, but just a cleansing product. This means meal replacement shakes, cleansing and flushing products because well as vitamin/mineral supplements and hydration tonics to keep the body healthier and functioning whilst we place it under the guise of losing weight.
Isagenix marketing is centered on an MLM model that feeds from the sales of fat loss supplements, dietary shakes, and diet snacks and meals. Usually, products sold under this model happen to be expansive.
Overall, the 30-Day weight loss system is NOT ideal if you need a long-term, flexible program created to gently rid the body of potentially harmful impurities.
It's definitely not worth the price very over rated for what it is, also it's not as natural as it claims to be their are a lot of sweetness and artificial ingredients in it, you can loose weight at a heaps cheaper price, so I'm going back to my raw certified organic shakes that don't cost me an arm and a leg and are more natural, the chocolate isagenix shake taste good the protein bars werent Very nice and neither where the liquid energy shots very sweet and sugary.
A friend was using the products with great results, I thought what the hell, I'll give it a go too, how hard can it be, it's only for 30 days. The shakes are good…I have one for breakfast and dinner, with 2 snacks which consist of 150 calories each; i have a dinner that is between 400 and 600 calories…you cannot have sugar – you can have stivia; you can only eat fish, chicken and turkey; the only fruit you can have on the strict 30 days is green apples – Granny Smith; the cleanse days are not that difficult but not my favorite – they consist of drinking 4x a day – you are not supposed to eat during the cleanse days.Also those of you that were still hungry that normal it takes most people 3-5 days to get used to eating less plus if your the type to eat a lot of processed and junk food then yes you'll feel like your starving to death.
The shakes are low-glycemic with energy-fueling carbohydrates, good fats, vitamins and minerals, and 24 grams of high-quality protein." I'll look closer at the ingredients in a moment but suffice to say the shakes are formulated with amino acids, active enzymes (which help with digestion; breaking down carbs, proteins, and fats) and essential, albeit trace, minerals.
I used them for a full 60 days and taking them exactly as directed just to make sure I gave them a fair chance, but I didn't lose weight and I was hungry all the time.
After 3 days of being on my first 30-Day Cleansing and Fat Burning System , I noticed an increase of energy that I hadn't felt since I was in my twenties.
It is a little costly but once you get the weight off you could go down to $180.00 for four canisters of shakes which is two meals a day for 30 days and $3.00 a meal.
Allison my sister inlaw does Isagenix with the cleansing but doesn't need it to loose weight either, she is a runner and at the gym 4 days a wk, she uses it for healthy aging, her skin is amazing she is in her late 50's.
With three herniated discs in my lower back and not being able to exercise, the IsaLean® Shakes and 30-Day System in general have helped me to lose over 50 pounds in just a matter of months and therefore decrease the pain in my back and allowed me to achieve a weight that I haven't been at in about 10 years." – Eric S., California.
Love these products, have lost 83 pouds in 7 months, also never felt better, have tons of energy, would love to help other people lose the weight.
I give this product 5 stars because i was always self conscious of my body weight and my stomach, but with isagenix and exercise, i was able to get to the weight i have been wanting to be and isagenix has helped me get there and stay there.
I recently tried the 30 day nutritional program and have to say I've never tasted anything so bad, so many times I gagged trying to get it down but I stuck with it. I had loads of energy and felt great and never once felt hungry but only lost 1.2kg so for me that's not a big enough loss for the money I spent to want to do it again.
I lost 8 pounds after the last cleansing day (day 9), but once I returned to having 2 shakes and 1 meal per day, the weight came right back on. I found myself starving most of the time, craving healthy foods instead of shakes. I observed a nutritionist who wrote up a plan that is STRICTLY 2 unsalted roasted almonds aided by the wafer snacks and lunch on shake times is a big salad, as numerous veggies while you desire (all organic of course) and organic balsamic vinegraitte bc it is lowest cal dressing there could be the 4-6 oz of protein which she used organic chicken breast done in George foreman with only thyme and pepper onto it.

History Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for historians and history buffs. Join them; it only takes a minute:
How did the Crimean war change British society?
Background: My summer reading goal is to get a handle on Europe from 1850-1914, with a strong focus on the British Empire, and within that a focus on England. So far, I've seen multiple historians single out the Crimean War as an event with major cultural, political, and military consequences.
At this point, I admit that I feel like I'm starting to lose track of all those consequences, which I'd like to bear more closely in mind as I move on to the latest part of the 19th century. I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable might be willing to give me a list and summary of the major changes, so I can reference that going forward. Where relevant, I'd also appreciate it being pointed out to me where these changes were totally contingent, and where they dovetailed with broader already probable trends, just so I can keep the threads of causality straight.
The Question: What were the major cultural, political, and military consequences of the Crimean War for Britain, and more specifically England, in the latter half of the 19th century?
war 19th-century political-history cultural-history britain
EraEra
Two major events of the Crimean War that had an impact on British society, and on later wars were the "Charge of the Light Brigade" and Florence Nightingale.
The "Charge of the Light Brigade" is nowadays considered an exercise in heroic futility, but at the time it was treated as an epic. It succeeded on its own terms, the Brigade overran the guns, but charged the wrong ones. It was held up as an example of British heroism that led to mindless (infantry) charges in the First World War, at least up to Passchendaele.
The Crimean war was perhaps the first war to the be "reported" to the public, through new inventions such as the telegraph and the photography. The heavy (and well publicized) cost of the Crimean War led to the introduction of the Victoria Cross for valor in battle, which, unlike earlier decorations, was awarded to both officers and men, beginning the "democratization" of British society.
Florence Nightingale is considered the pioneer of "nursing," or at least military nursing. She was from a wealthy reforming family that pushed for rudimentary health care and sanitation measures in the British army. Up to that time, more soldiers died of disease than of battlefield casualties. Following the reforms that she wrought, the disease rate for both the military, and civilians, went down sharply.
Another, political, change was Anglo-French collaboration. Prior to the post Napoleonic period, these two countries had been bitter enemies. In the Crimean war, they fought side by side in order to maintain a European balance of power (to prevent Russia from crushing Turkey, and thereby dominate eastern Europe). This presaged Anglo-French cooperation in the World War I, about half a century later, against a rising and aggressive German power that threatened to dominate central and eastern Europe.

I would say that Florence Nightingale was also a pioneer in the use of statistics in the field of what is nowadays called "Public Health". – kimchi lover Aug 2 '17 at 0:43
The Crimean War was one of the very first wars where there was an immediate journalistic presence (instead of relying on military reporting) - William Howard Russell (a reporter) and Roger Fenton (a photographer) sent back reports and images that were then printed in The Times newspaper. As such, the public of Britain received "direct" reporting from a war for the first time.
The various blunders through the war, of which the infamous "Charge of the Light Brigade" is the most well known, ended up leading the public to question the leadership and led to various protests and riots - including the Snowball Riots in Trafalgar Square.
When parliament passed a bill requesting a full accounting of the men and materiel lost through the war, the prime minister (the Earl of Aberdeen) resigned - taking the passing of the bill as a loss of "no confidence".
Tom has already covered the reforms to nursing through Florence Nightingale.
The last major change from the war was the eventual abolition of the Army's sale of commissions - meaning that any person with reasonable income or wealth could purchase themselves a commission in the Army (including the ranks of Captain, Major, and even Lieutenant Colonel). Not all commissioned positions were filled via purchase as officers could and would be promoted to fill positions left by wounded or dead men (especially during times like the Napoleonic Wars), but the Crimean War was after a long period of relative peace, and so much of the officer corps of the infantry and cavalry were filled by such purchased commissions. By removing the practice, the British Army took another big step into professionalisation (although, social background rather than ability continued to be a major factor in advancement well into the 20th century).
In addition to the other two excellent answers, this was the first "telegraph war": the governments in London and Paris could communicate with the field commander in (almost) real time and the newspapers received communications in real time too.
Something happens in the field.
Reporters telegraph it to The Times.
The public is outraged (because the outrageous news sell better).
The government reacts - telegraphs to the commander in the field a micromanaging order.
The field commander has to do damage control instead of actually leading the troops.
The Russian diplomats and/or spies in London (and neutral capitals which subscribe to the Times feed) read the paper too and telegraph to St Petersburg the valuable intelligence.
This lead to attempts to censor the papers which only exacerbated the tensions.

Presumably, the Russian diplomats left London for the duration of the war. But I am sure the Russian government had other ways to obtain British newspapers promptly enough. – Felix Goldberg Aug 3 '17 at 4:50

February 1, 1862, "I feel some embarrassment with regard to the course to be pursued towards those privates absent without leave from this command." Gen. Crittenden's report to Gen. Johnston relative to defending the Upper Cumberland environs
DIVISION HDQRS.,
Gainesborough, Tenn., February 1, 1862.
Gen. A. SIDNEY JOHNSTON,
Cmdg. Department of the West:
SIR: I have the honor to inform you that I am unable as yet to make out and transmit to you my detailed report of the engagement on the 19th of January. This delay is owing to the delay of the officers of the command in sending up their reports.
I would suggest that this command be re-enforced by several well-drilled regiments at an early day.
Inclosed I send you a sketch of the section of the country.[1] You will see that this position of Gainesborough can be turned by the enemy, and in many respects it is an unfavorable point. I cannot occupy Livingston or any point on the road from Livingston to the Walton road for want of transportation to carry supplies to the camp from the river.
I submit to you, then, the propriety of occupying Chestnut Mound. To that point supplies can be easily hauled from river landings, and it is connected with Nashville, and also with Carthage, by a turnpike. Supplies of corn are abundant on Caney Fork, and could be brought down to a landing on the turnpike near to Chestnut Mound.
I feel some embarrassment with regard to the course to be pursued towards those privates absent without leave from this command. The non-commissioned officers absent without leave I shall reduce to the ranks, and I will have the officers so absent proceeded against with the utmost rigor.
Capt. Morgan, a volunteer aide on my staff, bears this to you. He also bears an order from me, for publication in the journals of Nashville and Knoxville, commanding all absent from this command without leave to report themselves at these headquarters immediately.
Being fully aware of the charges which have been made against me by fugitives from this command I have demanded a court of inquiry, and feel satisfied that an investigation will establish the facts that the battle of Fishing Creek and the subsequent movement were military necessities, for which I am not responsible. I feel assured that I shall have no difficulty in defending my conduct throughout these affairs.
I remain, yours, &c.,
G. B. CRITTENDEN, Maj.-Gen., Cmdg.

1, 1863 - "It makes my Southern blood boil…." An excerpt from the Diary of Mary L. Pearre
Many are expecting a cessation of hostilities and a reconstruction of the union. It is the height of folly to prate about the old Union and constitution. Both parties have trampled them under their feet.
Lincoln has violated the constitution at every step since he declared war.
It makes my Southern blood boil to hear these filthy Dutchmen boasting that they are fighting for "The Glorious Union." "Glorious Union indeed." Their emotions are not susceptible to simple emotions of liberty and equality. What care they, fresh from a foreign land for "The Union" indeed. Money and subsistence is the motive power that moves them to invade the South and rob southern women and children.
I desire peace. Yet I can never love the Northern people again. Never trust them as brothers. Have endured too many heart aches. Shed too many bitter despairing tears & followed to the grave too dear a friend ever to forgive and forget.
Diary of Mary L. Pearre
1, Nashville Police Court
Police Proceedings.
Before Recorder Shane.—Saturday, Jan. 31st.—The Court opened business by calling the case of that expanding flower, Narcissus White, who is not white, but a woman of color. She was charged with entertaining slaves, for which she paid a fine of ten dollars and costs.
Mrs. Flaherty was found guilty of violating the tippling law, and she, too, generously contributed her mite of five dollars and costs to the city treasure….
Mrs. King, who aspired to be queen of the liquor traffic, was found guilty of tippling, fined ten dollars and costs, and sent down to reflect, for twenty days, in the seminary kindly provided for such young ladies by our city fathers.
Carl, a young man from Louisville, and a Mr. McLaughlin, from the Queen City, were found in Smoky Row, having a jolly time and bobbing around generally. They were brought before his Honor for disorderly conduct, and each paid a fine of three dollars and costs, and left perfectly satisfied with their sight of the elephant….
Mary Stratton, a colored speculator, was charged with smuggling goods through from Cincinnati. Several fancy women—Mollie and Kate—shrouded in the midnight loveliness of a thousand clustering curls, were witnesses against her. But Mary wanted her sister as a witness in her behalf, and at the request of her counsel the case was laid over until Monday morning. .

1, 1864 - Federal officers engage in cotton farming in Middle Tennessee, an excerpt from the diary of John C. Spence
There is quite an excitement here, to raise cotton. There is [sic] quite a number of Yankee officers, renting farms from the citizens for the purpose. We see men anxious to engage in the business, who most likely has never seen a cotton stalk grow. They are paying three dollars per acre. There is great enquirey [sic] for cotton seed and paying the moderate price of one dollar per bushel, and will to buy all that can be found at that price.
I shall be pleased to know [where] they can get a good supply. Want every one that can produce a handful, to engage in the enterprise. No doubt they will make a good thing of it. They came to the country to make money, in some way, and cotton is one of the articles to produce the effect, among the other means. The price now quoted in Nashville in sixty five cents.
Operation-They propose, in the first place, to pay three dollars rent, do repairs on [the] plantation, to hire Negro [sic] men at ten dollars per month and find them in provision, or fifteen dollars, they to find themselves women, in the same proportion for their time. Pay half the wages each month, in cash, at the sale of the cotton crop.
A negro [sic] who is getting one hundred and twenty dollars a year, will having owing to him, at the end, sixty dollars.

Q: Check if all arrays inside an array have a specific key Example array:
$items = array(
  array('sort': 1, 'name': 'name'),
  array('sort': 3, 'name': 'name'),
  array('sort': null, 'name': 'name')
);

I need to know if all child arrays have the sort key. If not, I'd manually create the sort via a for loop (and over-write the sort value for the ones that have it).
I'm already running a for loop, and I was thinking of adding another key such as manual_sort which I would equal to index + 1, and after the loop, if at least 1 array didn't have the sort key or if it's null), I'd use the manual_sort instead of the sort key (for example when looping the elements via the front-end or whatever usage the data has).
Also thought about doing a second loop to know whether or not sort should be overwritten.
These seems like dirty solutions though, any ideas?
My current code looks something like:
$db_sorted_items = true;

for ($i=0; $i < count($items); $i++) {
  $items[$i]['name'] = ucfirst($items[$i]['name']);

  if (empty($items[$i]['sort']) {
    $db_sorted_items = false;
  }

  $items[$i]['number'] = $i + 1; // $i+1 because sort number starts at 1.
}

// err, gotta use `$items[$i]['number']` (or `sort` had all arrays had a positive `sort` key)

A: // use array_column to get array for key 'sort'
// then use array_filter to remove null values
// then compare count

if(count($array) == count(array_filter(array_column($array,'sort')))){
    echo 'All have valid sort key';
}else{
    echo 'No, few are missing';
}

In case if you want to have strict check, to make sure value corresponding to key sort is numeric then you may use below one, using is_numeric
if(count($array)==count(array_filter(array_column($array,'sort'),'is_numeric'))){

}

A: Your code looks good to me. I'd change it so it refreshes all sort attributes if it finds one object that doesn't have it, like this:
$db_sorted_items = true;

for ($i=0; $i < count($items); $i++) {
  $items[$i]['name'] = ucfirst($items[$i]['name']);

  if ($db_sorted_items && empty($items[$i]['sort']) {
    $db_sorted_items = false;
    $i = -1; // Re-start for (the for will add 1 at the end)
  }else{
    $items[$i]['sort'] = $i + 1; // $i+1 because sort number starts at 1.
  }
}

Now the Crypto market is in decline, but any sane person understands that this industry is already developed enough to just disappear without a trace. I have been active Crypto Intuist for quite a long time, namely since 2013, and have been studying the Blockchain technology and everything connected with it. My team and I have developed an algorithm with which you can create a service for earning Bitcoin (and in the end, other cryptocurrencies) for viewing ads. You can create a large flow of people who will not mind easy earnings of the very Bitcoin that a novice investor needs! And thus a large flow of advertisers. Every day, people review ads for millions of dollars, why not build an ideal financial system on this !? In order to realize all this, start-up investments in advertising and initial payments are necessary. I do not force you to invest all your money in this project, I just suggest to join the creation of history. All who invest in this project receive a lifetime profit as a percentage of how much they invest and how much will be collected in the total.

Nun who survived building collapse in Haiti quake finds respite in US
NEW ORLEANS – First came the noise, like a rush of wind. The next thing Sister Analise Jean Simon knew she was flat on the floor, with a collapsed ceiling and light bulbs pressed against her face.
She was pinned beneath the rubble of a two-story school annex building in Carrefour, Haiti, about 15 minutes from the capital of Port au Prince.
Sister Analise, a Little Sister of St. Therese, was among the fortunate victims of the Jan. 12 earthquake. After spending two days trapped inside the building, she was pulled from the rubble virtually unharmed. She had scratches on her arms and legs and bruises on her back, but she was alive and clutching a white plastic rosary when she was rescued.
At the main St. Francis de Sales School building that collapsed only a few yards away, 150 of the 350 students attending afternoon classes were killed.
"I spent all my time praying," Sister Analise said through an interpreter at the motherhouse of the Sisters of the Holy Family in New Orleans. The motherhouse has welcomed Sister Analise and her Haitian colleague, Sister Mary Evanette Onisaire, for a one-month respite. "I was calling, 'Jesus, Mary and Joseph, receive my soul.' There wasn't much hope to get out. I was praying, 'Lord, receive my spirit.'"
Before the building collapsed, Sister Analise, 52, was typing a financial report. Falling debris apparently hit her on the head and she lost consciousness for about two minutes. When she awakened, she was in the fetal position, not able to stretch her legs more than a few inches.
She could breathe and did not have any debris directly pressing on her body. She heard people calling her name and replied, but no one could hear her from under the rubble.
"In the beginning, I didn't know if I was going to make it," Sister Analise told the Clarion Herald, archdiocesan newspaper of New Orleans. "I had hope that I would make it. I was praying, 'Jesus, if it be your will, help me to come out.' After that I started having strength and hope. There were so many people calling my name, but they couldn't hear me."
Volunteers digging through the rubble insisted they would not let the body of a nun sit beneath the rubble, so they continued their efforts.
"They removed the first layer of concrete and then the second layer of concrete, but I wasn't there," Sister Analise said. "Then someone called out and asked, 'What is the name of the sister?' Somebody else said, 'Sister Analise,' and called out my name. I answered them and they said, 'Wait for us, we're going to come get you out.' Then all of a sudden I could see the nice view. I didn't have time to think about it. All I could see was God."
Sister Analise said her rosary, which she kept in the right pocket of her powder blue habit, gave her solace during the ordeal.
"I wasn't thinking about food or water, I was just concentrating on praying," she said. "Where I was, I could only think about death. I was asking God for forgiveness for my past sins, my present sins, and my sins of thought. I continued the ritual of prayer we used at the convent."
As soon as Sister Analise emerged alive from the rubble, the sister in charge of the school was so overwhelmed "she hit her foot on a rock and cut her foot."
When Sister Analise was told about all the students who had died, "that was another shock." A day later, rescue workers pulled a 9-year-old girl alive from the collapsed school.
Sister Mary Evanette, 58, principal of the elementary school, said she appreciated the opportunity to take a one-month sabbatical with the Sisters of the Holy Family. Sister Evanette was in another building, taking a shower, when the earthquake hit, and that building remained intact.
"It's going to take awhile to get these things off of our minds," Sister Evanette said. "Right now is the first time I have been able to sleep. You can see the dark patches under my eyes. I am thinking less while I am here."
Sister Eva Regina Martin, a congregational leader of the Sisters of the Holy Family, said she hoped more sisters from the Haitian community might be able to visit New Orleans in the coming months.
"Hopefully these two sisters can go back in the springtime and reopen their school," Sister Eva Regina said. "They can use this time to get some medical care for themselves and heal their bodies so that they in turn can go back and minister to their people's bodies and souls."


To design a brand new carbon frame design, Renzo starts by drawing the frame concept by hand, then, with the carbon engineer, he analyzes each tube's shape and its performance with the engineer to decide each tube's final design. Next, a shop in Florence produces the proprietary molds. Our carbon tubes are then produced using these molds by a specialist company in Florence that also makes carbon fiber parts for Ferrari and Ducati. Each Formigli model has its own tube molds and unique tube sets.
Next comes the process of building a custom frame for a customer. First we get to know the rider and his/her wishes. We take measurements. Then we do a computer generated design of the frame to be constructed. We mock up a graphic file if a custom paint scheme is requested. The tubes are made. The tubes are cut and put in a mask and bonded. The tubes are next sent to our carbon shop in Modena, where the lugs are wrapped in carbon, and then bonded together in a process called sottovuoto, forming a much stiffer frame than a monocoque.
Next, the tubes are filled with sand and placed in a plastic vacuum bag. A proprietary vacuum sealing technique is used for the curing process. The sand prevents deformation of the tubing during the heating process and the vacuum creates a space devoid of air.
After the frame is prepped, it is heated to precisely 248°F for an hour, then slowly returned to about 100°F over a period of ten hours. Once removed from the oven, the bag is inflated, the frame is removed and the sand is cleaned out.
Once the finished frame is cured it goes through a meticulous sanding process. The joints are then polished by hand – so time consuming that mass-produced frames are not made using a tube-to-tube process because it takes four times longer to make a Formigli frame than a monocoque.
The final stage is the application of a resin like substance that seals the porosity of the carbon and readies the frame for painting.
The frame is then sent to Antonio, our painter, in the countryside outside Florence. The frame is further sanded and prepared for the paint process. The paint process takes approximately 12 hours. Each frame is painted by Antonio, from start to finish for consistency.
We develop the graphics and colours with the client. . The painter uses a complex Aereographe process to achieve the client's exact colour choice. Customers are not limited to just a few color options, instead Formigli can paint a frame any color variation desired.
Formigli builds every frame with a tube-to-tube construction process. Building tube-to-tube allows for the creation of a custom frame based on each individual's specific body measurements. Tube-to-tube design also enables us to use superior carbon that varies in layers and composition.
In contrast, 98% of other road bikes are now made in Asia–using a monocoque mold process, which takes hours to produce and paint a frame versus Formigli's process which takes 6-8 weeks.


What an exciting few days this has been for me! My little tiny tail hasn't stopped wagging all this time. I was honored by the website Dog Tipper to be their featured blog on Tuesday. Mommy and I got the email this weekend and we could not wait. We have been a fan of their site for a while and were able to link up with their dog blog directory. So many wonderful blogs listed there...believe me, I have visited several of them and cannot wait to connect with them somehow.
I think it is important to connect with other people and animals. I mean, we were meant to be together, weren't we? Pets and people go paw in hand. When we connect in something we care about, it makes our day brighter, our hearts lighter, and it can keep us from feeling isolated or alone. And my goodness, hasn't the internet opened the whole world to us? It's amazing!
Before I doggie digress too much, I just wanted to take this time to thank Paris and John at Dog Tipper for being so awesome and for connecting with me. They are real dog lovers extraordinaire! Make sure to visit their site, and don't forget to come back and visit me real soon.
And for instant updates on my blog, silly photos or funny videos (I just posted a power packed Pixel video the other day - see the left side of my blog), please sign up to follow me on Twitter or my Facebook page. Hey, a dog has to stay connected, right?
The new year always brings the hope of new possibilities, new challenges, and, I think, new opportunities to find happiness in life. Mommy and I don't usually make new year's resolutions, because it often just lends itself to disappointment or unnecessary pressures. I chose a long time ago to try and just have a positive attitude about my life, and let God bless where He will bless, and teach where He will teach. Each one of us has challenges we must face on a daily basis. Because I try to find the joy in everything (that is what a Pixel does!), my struggles usually are about simple things, such as which toy do I play with and run through the house squeaking, do I cuddle on Mommy's right side or her left, and should I wrestle with the cat now or after I eat.
But I have had more serious struggles to deal with in my life as well. My tail was docked without my permission when I was just days old (before Mommy found me and saved me), and so I have had terribly painful difficulties with my tail nub my whole life. Mommy still gets upset at the thought that this maiming could be done to puppies unnecessarily, but she and I have found ways to cope with it and make my life as great as we can. She and my wonderful veterinarian finally found a very helpful nerve pain medicine that has gotten rid of most of the tail pain. But all in all, I don't let that medical issue stop me from being the best dog and friend I can be to my family and others.
Mommy and I saw a story once about a woman that was in a tragic accident and became paralyzed. She had an amazing spirit of perseverance through this life changing challenge, and when asked how she dealt with being paralyzed, she said something like this: "Your life is not determined so much by what life brings to you...but by the attitude that you bring to life. It is not shaped so much by what happens to you, as by the way your mind and heart reacts with what happens to you. DO NOT FOCUS ON WHAT YOU CANNOT DO...FOCUS ON WHAT YOU CAN DO."
To me, that means keep wagging your tail no matter what happens in your life. Keep trying, keep looking at the blessings, gifts and abilities you have, not on the things you do not have. I know I will never have a nice long tail like other dogs, but I have a little tiny nub that I still can wag like crazy every time I see my loved ones. I can still laugh, smile, jump for joy, do lots of cool little tricks and find all the joy that is right in front of me. It sure makes my life happier. My hope for each of us this new year, is to find that happiness in life. Look for it. Seek it out. Hunt it down and cling to it for dear life...just like I do with my squeaky toys. And most important of all, don't forget to share it. Believe me, it is well worth it!

Home / Brands / VIKTOR & ROLF
Viktor & Rolf is an Amsterdam-based fashion house. The "Viktor & Rolf" of the house's name are Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren. Both Viktor and Rolf were born in 1969, and met when they studied fashion at the Academy of the Arts at Arnhem. The pair bear a slight physical resemblance to each other and are known for being photographed or strutting down the catwalk after the fashion shows in identical outfits.
Perfumes seem like a natural extension of this creative pair. The first Viktor & Rolf fragrance, Flowerbomb, was introduced in 2004, to coincide with a women's Spring/Summer 2005 fashion collection also called "Flowerbomb." Viktor and Rolf chose the name and designed the fragrance's distinctive "hand grenade" bottle and gift-wrap packaging. The fragrance was a smashing success, with several flankers and limited editions being issued over the following years. A men's fragrance was soon to follow.
The pair's first fragrance for men, Antidote, was issued in 2006, also to coincide with a men's collection for their Monsieur line that was also named "Antidote."
The next fragrance, 2009's Eau Mega (a play on "Omega," the last letter in the Greek alphabet), made waves with its innovative packaging. The cap and sprayer are integrated and the perfume is dispensed by pressing a round Viktor & Rolf seal.
A new men's fragrance, Spicebomb, has come out in 2012.

The second boxer selected to the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame was Oscar Carlson of Jamestown.
Known as "Big Augie", Carlson was born April 7, 1902, in Sweden, then moved to the Jamestown area in 1903 and became a lifelong Chautauqua County resident.
Shortly after coming to the United States, Carlson suffered a tragedy when his father passed away. Thus he spent his early years in the Randolph Orphanage. His mother couldn't speak or write English when she came over, but later was able to get the family with seven children back together.
Carlson played baseball and football at Celoron Park with the Northsiders in his late teens, but his real love was boxing.
Between 1920-1932, Carlson was a professional in the heavyweight division and compiled an incredible 54-0 record with an even more incredible statistic - 53 of those wins were by knockouts.
However, his career ended voluntarily when Swede Gustafson of Mount Jewett, Pennsylvania died after injuries suffered when fighting Carlson at St. Bonaventure University, where boxing matches were being staged in those days.
Carlson was well on his way up the heavyweight ladder when this tragedy took place with Gustafson. He was scheduled to face nationally known Johnny Risko, one of the top contenders for the heavyweight title in Cleveland, but the bout was canceled.
Besides local and area bouts, Carlson fought in Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Buffalo and Rochester. There was supposed to be a bout in Akron between Carlson and a local standout, but when the Ohio boxer's handler found out about the punching power of "Big Augie," they decided it would be in their boxer's best interest to cancel the event.
When not boxing, Carlson was quite an entertainer. He had a three-piece country music band that did a lot of volunteer work for several benefits at the Gerry Orphanage. He played the guitar and sang, and in 1935 he played on radio station WOCL on a volunteer basis.
Acting-wise, he was involved in the Jamestown Little Theater and played the part of Lonny in John Steinbeck's famous Of Mice and Men. His heroine, played by Arlene Saff, said his acting was so convincing that she was afraid he would really choke her in the part.
Anyone who knew Carlson knew him as a very kind and gentle person with boxing not really fitting his personality.
Oscar Carlson died on September 3, 1980. He was inducted into the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame in 1990.

Noor Mateen, the current wife of the man who killed 49 people at an Orlando nightclub Sunday morning, reportedly knew of a potential attack and attempted to talk her husband out of executing it.
NBC News reported this morning she is cooperating with the FBI, and she admits to having driven Omar Mateen to the Pulse nightclub at least once before. She also told authorities she was with him when he bought a gun holster and some ammunition. Officials will investigate whether her knowledge of an impending attack was concrete or based on a gut feeling; and whether she can be held criminally liable for not informing authorities.

Research Profile: Professor Examines State of Bail, Pretrial Detention, Reform Measures
Wednesday, March 14, 2018, By Kathleen Haley
College of Lawfacultyresearch
Nine out of 10 people who are awaiting resolution of their felony criminal case in jail are being detained because they can't afford the pre-trial bail, according to national statistics.
What does that say about the U.S. criminal justice system? Is it fair? Is it unconstitutional?
Judges use their discretion in determining bail, weighing a defendant's flight risk—the risk of them not showing up in court—and in certain cases their danger to society if they are released.
Lauryn Gouldin
But Associate Professor of Law Lauryn Gouldin has observed how bail has become too restrictive and overly burdensome for defendants, when alternative means to ensure someone's return to court might be just as effective.
"Bail originally was a way to secure someone's release, and it's now become this path to detention," Gouldin says. "Our current system is pretty well divorced from whatever logic originally justified bail."
Gouldin is part of an increasing number of legal scholars who are examining pretrial risk assessment, the process of bail determination and excessive rates of pretrial detention in the United States. Her work also looks at bail reform proposals that could better align individual liberties with the need to ensure a defendant's appearance in court and decrease the number of people in jail as they wait for their case to be determined.
Her research in this area examines the 8th Amendment: "Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted."
Just six words, out of 16—in a law crafted more than 225 years ago—guide the constitutional analysis of bail.
"It's very slender language. There's almost nothing in the discussion of what the framers intended by this," says Gouldin, who has an upcoming article, "Defining Flight Risk," in the University of Chicago Law Review.
But the language, in its simple phrasing, speaks volumes to protect an individual's rights.
"There are clear constitutional issues when we don't employ the least restrictive means to ensure that someone comes to court," Gouldin says.
Along with concern over basic liberties, "there are cascading problems that are created when we detain people before trial," Gouldin says. "There are impacts to their family obligations, their educational opportunities and employment—all of these have an impact on communities that we should work to avoid."
Case outcomes
Studies also show that pretrial detention affects case outcomes. Defendants detained before trial are more likely (than similar defendants who are released before trial) to plead guilty, to be convicted after trial and to receive longer sentences.
Recently, however, Gouldin has seen a turnaround in attention being paid to issues of excessive bail.
"What you're seeing across the country is people developing new scholarly arguments, creative litigation strategies and novel community-driven reform proposals," she says.
Federal legislation around bail has been proposed, along with proposals in some states, including New York State, where reforms (including a proposal to eliminate money bail for low-level offenses) are being actively debated.
College of Law Associate Professor Lauryn Gouldin is part of an increasing number of legal scholars who are examining pretrial risk assessment, the process of bail determination and excessive rates of pretrial detention in the United States.
"I write about questions of fairness and the need to protect individual liberties, but one of the appealing things for me as a researcher is that so often there are counterintuitive policy impacts," says Gouldin, who also does research in matters involving the Fourth Amendment. "For some of these policies, the government is shooting itself in the foot in the way that it approaches pretrial detention. It turns out to be very expensive to detain people—particularly those charged with low-level, nonviolent offenses—as opposed to trying to impose less restrictive conditions of release to ensure they come back to court."
One of the reasons that many types of bail reform proposals attract bipartisan support is that there are spaces where the system operates so inefficiently that we can be more protective of individual liberties, while also promoting community stability and safety," she says.
"Disentangling Flight Risk from Dangerousness"
Gouldin initially focused on the federal bail statute, which permits pretrial detention based on flight risk and, in some cases, dangerousness. In an article for the Brigham Young University Law Review, "Disentangling Flight Risk from Dangerousness" (2016), Gouldin examined the problem with combining two factors into one pretrial risk score; how judges were more likely to overestimate both risks through questions used to help predict both factors and why they should evaluate both factors separately.
Her forthcoming article, "Defining Flight Risk," discusses the need to distinguish between those who would truly pose a flight risk (by fleeing the jurisdiction) and someone who just may have a difficulty in returning to court—such as if they forget a court appearance or have a conflict and are not able to promptly contact the court.
"There are people who spend time in jail only because they can't afford $250 for their bail," Gouldin says. "People are finally appreciating that's there's no situation in which that makes sense."
Gouldin, who is assisted in her work by graduate students who work on analyzing federal and state cases and statutes and tracking policy developments across states, notes interventions such as reminders or more flexible court schedules may help to mitigate some of these issues.
Risk assessment tools
Her research also looks at pretrial risk assessment tools that involve the use of specific questions to help judges make better predictions of a person's flight risk. While some of the tools have potential, Gouldin has also noticed flaws that don't match existing legal constraints or policy priorities and are not nuanced enough in understanding why someone might fail to appear for a court date.
Gouldin, who teaches Constitutional Law and Criminal Procedure, often involves students in discussions on policies and reforms associated with the Fourth and Eighth amendments. Her new seminar course in the fall, Criminal Justice Reform, will look at a range of criminal justice problems with a focus on issues of policing, bail and pretrial detention, and the opioid crisis. The course is open to graduate students across campus for an interdisciplinary conversation.
"I'm going to push students to identify policymakers or legislators who could be an audience for their work," Gouldin says. "It's about developing real policy proposals—pointing out fixes that are working in other places or reforms that could be considered."

Here is a terrific post about ways to help ActiveRain members, new and seasoned, navigate their way around the rain. It is written by Mimi Foster, Realtor from Colorado Springs. This article includes a few hints that will help save time while blogging and commenting here on ActiveRain.
This morning I was talking with someone about how I felt like a blind pig finding an acorn when I started on ActiveRain. Someone told me about AR, I thought, "I'd like to blog someday," so I signed up for a year.
Several months later, after having received a few emails from AR, I wrote my first blog post, and was so excited that I got four or five comments on it. I kept wondering where in the world those people had seen it to comment on it. I was in awe, but could never figure out how to do it again. I often imagined it as a party behind closed doors, and I was standing in the entryway waiting for someone to open the doors so I could see what was going on.
Months would pass before I would write again. Karli at ActiveRain called me one day last March and held my hand and talked me thru it, and it has been a whirlwind of writing since then. Being creatures of habit, we do what we know. Sometimes we will venture out and find new things, but for the most part, it is often an AHA moment when we stumble upon something we didn't know in our comfortable venue.
Often I will get phone calls from AR friends who will say, "Well, if you go (here) you can do (this)." Kathy Streib has been the best at teaching me tricks that really aren't tricks, basics that probably everyone else knows. But since I didn't know them, there may be a few others that don't know some of them either.
So now that I've been here for almost ten months, I won't even begin to tell you the convoluted trails I have followed to find people to whom to send referrals. The little "STATES" button in the blue upper toolbar breaks down Agents by not only States, but also by Cities! Double Duh!
Did you read a post today that you really liked? At the very bottom of the post under where it says who the article was written by is a little link that says "BOOKMARK." You can click that to save the post for future reference. When you want to read your BOOKMARKS at a later date, the link is towards the bottom left of your Home Page entitled "BLOG BOOKMARKS"
The rules and regulations have never been easy to find. I have seen people catapult forward thousands of points in just days and don't know why.
What a great post to run across. Especially since I'm new to AR this week.
Don't feel silly, Terrie! It is nice to discover new things about AR that keep changing and adding to the experience. I really like the bookmark option. There have been times where I try to go back and re-read something that stuck with me throughout the week and I have the hardest time finding it. This is great!
Terri: Thanks for the re-blog of Mimi's post. She had several items that I knew nothing about....now I do. I will skip over to Mimi's site and give her my thanks as well. Keep searching for those awesome post to re-blog.
Thank you so much for the reblog, Terrie. I really believe that the more we understand about the site, the more fun it is to be here. Best wishes!
Terrie, there are some great things to be learned here... on quite a few different subjects. I picked up several helpful ideas.
As far as the new changes that are coming... my hope is that Active Rain has not AGAIN decided to change things... just to change them. They have done that in the past, and I fear they are doing it once more. My thoughts... if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Thanks for reposting this Terry - I missed it the first time around even though I subscribe to Mimi!
