If you are like me you go to Trader Joe’s and find something you really like and then it is discontinued. Well it happened again, Trader Joe’s had bags of 8 Nothing but Fruit & Nuts, Dates, Hazelnut, Cacao snacks, disks, The name says it all! These little disks contain nothing but Dates, Hazelnuts, and Cacao for a delicious on the go treat. Unsweetened. 8 .88oz 25g pieces.
The package was selling for $3.99 at stores, and now is selling for upwards of $12 online on ebay, amazon and other online stores.
There are other varieties but apparently according to one local store this variety is discontinued. From one day to the next the shelf was cleared out, so someone must have tipped off someone that was it. No more. This type of snack disk is available from other companies, perhaps they are the ones making it for Trader Joe’s.

CitiMortgage a division of Citi Group has apparently decided to exit or sell their loan servicing business. The company to handle the loans is Cenlar. A company who has nothing but bad reviews.
The letter we received from Citimortgage comes two weeks before the first payment is due! With no prior notification, and nothing mentioned on the CitiMortgage portal /dashboard. it is alarming that the letter looks like a total scam, but apparently as confirmed by a rep from Cenlar and CitiMortgage in the Philippines, the letter is accurate.
The issues are countless as Cenlar cannot setup accounts, less than two weeks from the due date. Both parties claim that auto payments will be transferred and there will be no late fees.
If you are a Citi Mortgage customer you should be very worried that this transition is plagued with problems especially since Citi claims they are doing everything to ensure a smooth transition. You can read more about the 2017 Citi press release here

U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds celebrate Captain Marvel with Hollywood flyover
Formation of six F-16 Fighting Falcons to fly over Hollywood
NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. – The United States Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron “Thunderbirds” will fly over Hollywood in celebration of the upcoming film Captain Marvel during the afternoon of March 4, 2019.
"On 3/4 at 12:15, the Thunderbirds will fly over the the Santa Monica Pier, Pepperdine University, Hollywood Boulevard, the California Institute of Technology, and JPL."https://t.co/jSZShkboXzpic.twitter.com/YWRoSFx8pf
The formation will feature six F-16 Fighting Falcons, the Air Force’s
premier multi-role fighter aircraft, soaring over Hollywood from 12:15
p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Marvel Studio’s newest film, Captain Marvel, will release in theaters
nationwide on March 8. The film follows the story of Captain Carol
Danvers, an Air Force fighter pilot who goes on to become the most
powerful superhero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
“This flyover is a unique moment to honor the men and women serving
in the Armed Forces who are represented in Captain Marvel,” said Lt.
Col. John Caldwell, the Thunderbirds Commander/Leader. “Being part of
this event is a tremendous opportunity, and we look forward to
demonstrating the pride, precision and professionalism of the 660,000
total force Airmen of the U.S. Air Force over the city of Los Angeles.”
The Thunderbirds have close ties to the film’s production. Last
January, in preparation for the film, lead actress Brie Larson and
director Anna Boden visited the team during an Air Force immersion and
F-16 flight at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev.
During production, the team provided two Thunderbird pilots to advise
cast and crew on fighter pilot traditions and culture. One of the
advisors was Maj. Stephen “Cajun” Del Bagno, who passed away in a mishap
during a routine Thunderbird training flight in Nevada only a week
after consulting on-set.
“Executing this flyover is a fitting tribute to Cajun,” said Maj.
Matt Kimmel, the Thunderbirds Lead Solo pilot who advised the Captain
Marvel team with Maj. Del Bagno. “He lived to share his passion for
aviation with everyone he met and always left you with a smile. We carry
his legacy each day and can’t wait to make him proud by showing off his
U.S. Air Force and his team in his backyard.”
Residents along the flight path can expect a few seconds of jet noise
as the aircraft pass overhead, along with the sight of six
high-performance fighter aircraft flying less than three feet from each
other in precise formation.
The Thunderbirds welcome and encourage viewers to tag the team on
social media in photos and videos of their formation with the hashtags
#AFThunderbirds, #CaptainMarvel, #SuperHeroAirman and #AirForce.

Building the Infrastructure for Tokenizing Ownership of Non-Crypto Assets
Blockchain technology provides a means by which a secure database may
be replicated reliably in multiple locations, with protection against
fraudulent transactions. A very high value application of Blockchain is
the reliable recording of ownership of things in the real world,
ranging from stocks and bonds, to real estate, even to ownership of fine
art.
Blockchain shows promise for leveling the playing field as the world
shifts from a small number of computer systems that monopolize their
respective markets to a set of databases that can be distributed and
coordinated among independent players. To do that will require the
development of technologies and technical infrastructure that do not yet
exist. Now and in the near future, there will be many opportunities
for entrepreneurs who produce the technical solutions.
This program will sort out the various opportunities and will attempt
to identify which current players are likely to continue to dominate
the marketplace and become customers for the new technologies.

Calif.—The public is invited to the grand reopening of Robinson Park
Recreation Center (RPRC), 1081 N. Fair Oaks Ave., on Saturday, January

cutting and will continue with tours of the new state-of-the-art
facility, free demonstration classes, and light refreshments.
“We
are excited to return high-quality recreation programming for all ages
and abilities to Robinson Park Recreation Center. Recreation programming
improves neighborhood quality of life and well-being, strengthens

Recreation Center’s approximately 9,000-square-foot multipurpose room,
administrative offices, kitchen, open courtyard, restrooms, and
conference room as well as an approximately 4,900-square-foot addition
of fitness and dance rooms, storage, and common areas. The building is
fully accessible and includes energy-efficient lighting, audio-visual
technology and security upgrades, and new drought-tolerant landscaping.

Kudos to Verizon for being the first major wireless provider to offer a tool that can combat robocallers. The pace of robocallers has progressively worsened over the past year. Most people don’t answer calls they do not recognize, as it is most likely a robocaller. The amount of calls being made by these operators worldwide is in the millions of calls. In hopes that even a small percentage of those being called answer and engage and fall for the scam.
Verizon has implemented on its network the new technology labelled STIR/SHAKEN STIR (Secure Telephone Identity Revisited) and SHAKEN (Signature-based Handling of Asserted information using toKENs) standards
Del Pueblo Brewery is among a few craft breweries to operate in Pasadena, including Craftsman brewing. Stone has a tap room in Pasadena, but does not have brewing operations in Pasadena. There are rumors of others working on opening locations in Pasadena, including the Playhouse District. What sets Del Pueblo apart is that it will be the first brewery with taproom having beer served at the location.
Many welcome this development in Pasadena as many surrounding cities are welcome to those opening breweries, including Glendale, Burbank, Sierra Madre, Monrovia, Eagle Rock, San Gabriel, Alhambra, El Monte, all of which have at least one if not several breweries serving beer to eager customers looking to support a craft beer in their local community.
Millions of homes are equipped with Ring security systems and reports have been released with evidence that employees of Ring have access to video footage. And to make matters worse, video is not encrypted and is also available by folders and customer emails.
Not encrypting video or accounts is surely a bad sign for Ring, the rational given is that the cost was too high.
Many users are now looking at alternatives and trying to figure out what Ring is going to do to repair the damage done, perhaps video has already been downloaded.
We surely expect Ring will make a formal announcement on this issue. Silence is surely not going to be acceptable to users of Ring. Amazon owns Ring. Amazon head Jeff Bezos is under scrutiny for an alleged affair with Lauren Sanchez and divorcing his wife of 25 years.
Ring recently announced a new improved line of products at CES, apparently none address the vulnerabilities.
We sincerely hope that Ring addresses this issues brought about through the various reports.
Perhaps this is an opportunity for Google’s Nest, to strike on the shortcomings of the Ring platform and capitalize revenue opportunities.
