MUMBAI, May 25 (Reuters) - Foreign direct investment, the sort of sticky long-term money India craves to fund its current account deficit and build up its infrastructure, may not be so stable after all.
According to a Nomura report, multinational companies have been pulling money out of India at an accelerating rate, moving $10.7 billion out of the country in 2011, up from $7.2 billion in 2010 and just $3.1 billion in 2009.
Outward flows are bad news for a country that this week saw its rupee currency hit a new record low as investors worry about its hefty fiscal and current account shortfalls, slowing economic growth and policy gridlock.
Still, corporate funds continue to enter India even as existing investors exit. Inbound foreign direct investment surged 88 percent to a record $36.5 billion in the fiscal year that ended in March, according to official data.
"Global deleveraging may have forced companies to sell their Indian assets and repatriate funds to their home country," Nomura analysts wrote in the Friday note.
"At the same time, domestic push factors such as slowing potential growth, the high cost of doing business and regulatory uncertainty have weakened the investment climate, likely causing this erosion. This is not a good sign."
Telecoms companies Etisalat of Abu Dhabi and Bahrain Telecommunications Co are leaving India after their mobile phone licences were among those ordered cancelled by an Indian court amid a corruption probe.
New York Life recently exited its 26 percent stake in an Indian insurance venture with Max India for $530 million, while U.S. mutual fund giant Fidelity Worldwide Investment recently struck a deal to unload its India unit to local company L&T Finance Holdings.
Foreign companies have been increasingly frustrated by regulatory uncertainty and a lack of reforms. Rules that would allow foreign companies into the supermarket and airline industries are stalled.
Vodafone, the world's biggest mobile carrier, has repeatedly clashed with authorities in India, which is trying to collect more than $2 billion in taxes from it through a retroactive law change, even after India's highest court ruled in the company's favour.
Vodafone, the biggest overseas corporate investor in India, has said it will not walk away.
The Nomura report said the services, manufacturing and real estate sectors probably saw "the maximum outflow".

Owners of the manors have multiplied the biodiversity of horticultural plants in
Finland by importing the seeds and seedlings abroad to their gardens over the
last three hundred years. For many reasons in manor gardens are only some of
these heritage plants left, like roses, perennials and ornamentals shrubs. We have
developed a method for gathering knowledge of original plants in historic gardens
and for rediscovering and repatriating them as heritage plants back to the
gardens. This method includes an inventory of the existing cultural flora, search
for the lost vegetation (so called run-a-away-plants) and gathering the cultural
knowledge of the plants. In our case study we rediscovered several original plant
strains originating from Jokioinen manor in Southern Finland. In this paper we will
also demonstrate some ideas on how to bring out the cultural history of plants to
visitors in historical gardens.

Mary Worthington
Who is Mary Worthington?
The answer to that question, so far is:
I don't know!
The truth is, possibly nobody knows...but - Mary Worthington is the character involved in the "Bloody Mary" legend.
There are other names by which she is called, including: "Black Agnes," "Hell Mary," "Mirror Mary," "Mary Jane," "Mary Bones," "Bloody Bones," "Mary Lou," "Mary Johnston," "Mary Whales," and of course, "Blood Mary."
Additional alternate names for 'the game' played or spirit supposedly evoked by calling out a name:
Agnes, Sally, Mary Ann, Kathy, Aggie, Svarte Madame.
Witch Mary
Some people believe that "Mary" was a witch who lived one to two hundred years ago, who was executed for dabbling in the black arts. In versions where people believe that Mary was a witch, she is usually said to be a murderer of children. She used witchcraft to aid her in the abduction of and in the killing of children. She may have used the blood or body parts of children in other witchcraft rituals.
* Note...
I will continue searching, but so far, very little information exists about a witch named Mary who killed children. No solid evidence has turned up, even though I have been looking for documents on the topic of Mary Worthington/Bloody Mary for a week before deciding to publish this hub.
Young, Distraught Mary
In some accounts of the Bloody Mary legend, Mary is a distraught, young woman whose infant was either stolen away or did not survive his/her infancy. In distress at her baby's death or disappearance, Mary lured other children away from their families and, under the sheen of insanity/despair, killed them.
Still, in this sort of account, it is said that Bloody Mary is executed, tortured or otherwise made to die by townsfolk in a local area.
After her death, it is said that children no longer went missing or turned up dead under suspicious circumstances for a great number of years.
Suicidal Mary
In this account, Mary was a young and very fit mother, very responsive to her infant's needs. She was extremely attached to and loved her baby, so when the infant was stolen away from her, Mary turned simply mad (insane) from grief and finally committed suicide.
Murderer Mary
Some people who believe in the Bloody Mary legend say that Mary Worth, Mary Worthington or a woman with a similarly common first name was a child murderer, plain and simple. In certain versions of the Bloody Mary story, people say that Bloody Mary can be traced to a non-witch persona who was discovered to be murdering small children in, around and nearby to her local village.
Consequently, this woman was blamed and held responsible for all the missing children in her area and any suspicious deaths of children. Apparently, townsfolk who caught on to her trapped her and executed her.
- In some accounts, Bloody Mary was tortured by townspeople until she expired.
- In some accounts, Bloody Mary was purposely disfigured by townspeople and authorities before being executed.
- In some accounts, Bloody Mary was a disfigured woman who preyed upon and killed small children - and was soon found out and executed.
* Note...
Anytime 'local townsfolk,' 'local area,' or similar descriptions have been uncovered in my searches for Bloody Mary/Mary Worthington, no particular town, townsfolk, local region or area is ever identified...
I smell a BUSTED Myth coming up, don't you?
by Unknown Artist: Portrait of Queen Mary
Ghost of Queen Mary I
Some say that Bloody Mary is the ghost of Queen Mary I (1517-1558), who was very unpopular during her reign (1553-1558).
During her reign, Queen Mary I changed the religion of her country of rule, thus naming Roman Catholicism as the official religion of England.
Many Protestant citizens were outraged, but Mary had a great number of outspoken Protestants silenced by execution. Partly, the killing of Protestants earned her the nickname of "Bloody Mary."
Bloody Mary Story by Creepy Place of New England Show
More Mirrors - Will You Dare?
Disfigured Mary Worth
This version of Mary Worth is that Mary was a beautiful child but in her teen years, was disfigured in an accident of some sort. During her sensitive adolescent years, she was teased ruthlessly by peers and by the time she grew into early adulthood, she was shunned by all.
It is not known how Mary Worth died in this version, but she died young, alone and angry. Her ghost is not yet at rest and still carries this intense anger around.
The Car Accident Version
There is a version of Bloody Mary that contains the following details:
A young and very beautiful young woman's life comes to a sudden and violent end in a car crash, horribly disfiguring the young beauty at the same time, making her body nearly unidentifiable. Her body, in legend, was able to be identified by guessing that the young lady was Mary Worthington, Mary Worth or someone of a similarly common name - because a well known identifiable object was found near the car wreck.
The identifiable object, depending on who is telling the tale may be:
- a bracelet
- a necklace
- a scarf
The ghost of Bloody Mary appears in a mirror whenever the Bloody Mary Game is played, and the ghost is still raging from her disfigurement and untimely death - thus, the ghost tries to disfigure those who dare to summon her..
Official Trailer for Bloody Mary Movie - this is quite graphic - skip it if you're quite sensitive - trust me - it creeped me out.
The General Game of Bloody Mary
Most of the versions designed to summon a Mary woman who was disfigured for any reason are supposed to make Mary come forth and make a physical mark on whoever is playing the Bloody Mary game.
In these versions, the number of times to say Mary Worth's name varies. Sometimes the name is to be "Bloody Mary" instead of Mary Worth, but generally the game works like this:
In a darkened room with a mirror, stand in front of the mirror, look into it while saying "Mary Worth" 10 times - or "Bloody Mary" 10 times...
Mary Worth or Bloody Mary is supposed to appear and scratch you.
The Game Called Bloody Mary
Yes/No, I have/have not played the Bloody Mary Game
A Version of The Bloody Mary Game
Summoning Mary Tudor, a.k.a. Queen Mary of England:
People who believe that the ghost of Queen Mary is still somewhere 'out there,' looking for her deceased children are the most likely people who will be interested in this version of the morbid Bloody Mary thrill-seeking game and who will try to call her out of the mirror.
An extension of information surrounding the person of Mary Tudor must be mentioned here first.
Aside from Mary Tudor being called "Bloody Mary" because of her persecution of Protestants, it is known that Mary Tudor suffered many (5) miscarriages. It is easily and logically assumed that the loss of a number of infants was emotionally devastating for the Queen of England - so, in one version of the Bloody Mary game, it is with the viewpoint of summoning a bereaved mother who stays active beyond death in order to find the souls of her lost infants.
The point of this version of the game is to coax Mary forth through mocking her. One is to stand in a darkened room, in front of a mirror and taunt:
"Bloody Mary, I have your children" - five times in a row - to represent the number of children Mary lost to miscarriages.
Apparently, Mary is supposed to show up and attack you if you have taunted and called out correctly.
Well...if you were taunted in this way, wouldn't YOU be upset, too?
Buried Alive version:
Some say that in the not so distant past, a couple of hundred years ago, a little girl named Mary fell ill. She stayed in a coma for a long time and then one day, the local physician - a very old man, couldn't detect her breathing anymore and believed her to be dead. Now, maybe young Mary was breathing very slowly and shallowly. Maybe the doctor was too old to discern an incremental movement and amount of life in Mary.
Nevertheless, Mary was pronounced dead and immediately a funeral was held so that Mary could be laid to rest.
Nobody knew they had buried her alive.
On the evening of the day she was buried, Mary's family - who lived near the cemetery - experienced a strange thing in the dark of night. Mary's mother swore she could hear screaming in the night - over in the direction of the graveyard. This so disturbed her that she went out to her daughter's grave. Then she swore she heard some muffled vocal sounds and scraping on the casket.
By the time of morning light, friends and family had convinced Mary's mother that the disturbances and sounds were caused by hallucinations, by her own despair at the loss of her daughter, but the mother insisted for several days that what she'd heard the night of her daughter's funeral was real.
To appease and show the mother her faulty logic, and perhaps to get her to rest in her grieving state, the family finally decided about 5 days later to dig up Mary's grave and show that the young girl was, in fact, laying at rest with no animation or life at all.
When they dug at Mary's gravesite and opened the casket, they did find a lifeless Mary in there but to everyone's horror, they also found scratches all over the inner lid of the casket and Mary's fingernails, where they weren't entirely broken off, were bloody and worn to the quick!
Ever since, it is said that if you follow these instructions, you will see Mary herself:
On Friday the 13th, turn all the lights in your house off. Go to the bathroom and turn the water in the tub/shower and sink on. Flush the toilet and while the water is draining there, look into the mirror and say "Bloody Mary" 5 times...
Mary will appear in the mirror!
Now - quickly - get the lights back on before Mary stabs you with a knife!
Nice, Calm Video - Explanation of Bloody Mary Dare Game
Ok,I have never played the game but my sister was in the bathroom and we were washing our hands and then we were done she shut the lights off and shouted BLOODY MARY 3 times fast and yelled at her to stop then I said "do u want 2 get us killed???
Ok, I am never playing this game it gives me the creeps!
but where did the say about were she lived at
My thoughts would be that this is based upon Mary Bell. She was a child when she began her killing spree I suppose you could say.
see.. There is this series i love and it's called supernatural. The fifth episode of the first season talks about bloody mary. When i watched it again yesterday, i started searching for some answers i got and i found you. I just wanted to know if that was true..
one story says that mary lived in indiana and had just won a beauty contest holping she would be able to leave that place (there was no year information), but then someone broke into her house, killed her and took her eyes off. When she was dying, she tried to write the name of the person who did that to her, but she just could write T-R-E. There was a guy that was called trevor, he became the suspect, but they never found a proof against him..
i did the bloody mary game once, ill never do it again, i saw a young woman with blonde hair soaked in blood, and she reached through the mirror but i got scared and passed out, when i woke up my sister was trying to open the door, and i had a very bad scratch on my face that lasted a few days
Mary Worthington's obsession with bathrooms and mirrors might be because that is often where women go to make themselves beautiful- fixing their hair, makeup etc.
Definitely creepy for whatever reason, my friends made fun of me once for refusing to play the game when I was little.
I thought I remembered something else about her so I looked up her name and your hub is 4th on page 1. I was thinking about Countess Bathory, anyway. Creepy hub and awesome!
When I was in school my friends and I were told this story that Bloody Mary lived in the disabled toilet in the bathroom. I was forever scared of going into that bathroom. Now since I`m older, I`m curious about the legend/myth. Sometimes I feel like I want to help her, if she was only hurt because of taking/murder of her kid. If its because she's disfigured I'd want to befriend her. Funny huh? Too bad its fictional. Right?
I wont try this D: I dont wanna die..duhh XD
i saw her
Also: http://www.slv.vic.gov.au/pictoria/b/2/9/doc/b2970...
I've just begun my own little investigation in the subject for a blogpost ;)
This might not be the least relevant, but still.. http://www.ohiokids.org/onlineexhibits/adenahouse/...
Hi, Glad I read this one. it is strange really because out of all the myths and legends, this one is the one that gives me the creeps! ha ha thanks nell
Thanx so much!!! agh! I dint know there were that many versions! I thought she was just a crabby woman who killed you! but some of the versions- THE 1 WHERE SHE'S TEASED BECAUSE SHE'S DISFIGURED AND LOST HER CHILDREN SO PPL TEASE HER THROUGH A MIRROR- make me rlly upset cuz she"s not a monster, she's just been treated bad, kindness is as kindness duz, after all! course, i kno she's not real, lol.
Enjoyed the hub, mythbuster. After reading it, I think I'll look up a pub nearby and celebrate with a Bloody Mary. It looks like you did quite a bit of research on this. Thanks.
Again a Great MythHub, Buster! (And thanks for featuring some of my articles on your profile page! I much appreciate!)

Oh the joy of making your own preserves! when you see the market stall laden with fresh apricots or cheap strawberries, think of the taste of that jam in months to come when you can no longer buy those fruits easily!
Or make your own chutneys and pickles. The house smells fab and you have them for months ahead......
TANYA TIP: To test for the setting point of Jams and Jellies
My favourite item is the silverwood multisize cake tin. At Christmas I can make four 6" christmas cakes all at the same time. Brilliant for batch baking, this tin has additional inserts so I can make loads of cakes, in different sizes, and all at the same time.

Angela Yee from University Covenant Church in Davis, California wasn't content with just the Green Lantern on her stage…she needed more.
Angela was inspired by the lantern scene from the movie Tangled.
Dave Cripe, their construction volunteer, did some research on lanterns and came up with some designs on his own. Over a few weeks, he made the lanterns by hand – painting them and applying the paper. The lanterns were made of plywood and the paper was vellum paper – which comes in rolls.
They attached chains to the top of the lanterns and wiring for the lighting inside. They used light outlets from IKEA and put incandescent bulbs in them so they could be dimmed. They also bought various shaped paper lanterns from IKEA.
They put the lanterns in their approximate positions on the ground before hanging them. Then they hung the large lanterns from ropes attached to their cyc booms. Then they added different colored gels to light the lanterns.
Check out Angela's blog for a few more details.

All these changes to Facebook lately are confusing — and enlightening.
Timelines and other tracking features now tell everybody about what you post, or comments that you make, or videos that you watch.
It's all so revealing. And fun.
For instance, being Facebook friends with state Sen. Chris Harris (Republican, Arlington ) allowed me the unique pleasure of seeing this today.

A judge in West Virginia has sentenced a man and woman from South Carolina to prison for theft of checks that the state's Workers' Compensation Commission sent to a dead woman.
Georgetown, South Carolina resident 42-year-old Kevin Sexton and 60-year-old Harriet Miller, also of Georgetown, both entered guilty pleas to allegations of illegally taking checks that had been sent to the widow of a former West Virginia miner. The pair was married during the 15-year period in which they stole the benefits.
Sexton and Miller were sentenced by Kanawha County, West Virginia Circuit Judge James Stucky to 1-10 years. They were also ordered to repay $210,077 to the state of West Virginia.
The couple had been stealing benefit checks intended for Hazel Allen, a former resident of Kanawha County who moved to South Carolina. After her husband's death in a mine in 1941, Allen was awarded lifetime payments.
Allen died in 1987, but Sexton and Miller, who were her neighbors, kept taking her checks and forging forms that they sent back to West Virginia in order to conceal the fact that she had died. At one point, Miller even called the Workers' Comp office, posing as Allen, to complain of checks not arriving on time.

It's the oldest track in NASCAR, maybe the most famous too.
Bowman Gray Stadium has hosted automobile racing since 1949.
It's the place where Richard Petty won his 100th race and where Nascar team owner Richard Childress got his start.
These days, every Saturday night from April to August local race teams descend on the historic track to slug it out.

To be cute or to be scary? That is the ultimate October 31st question. The solution is to try a Halloween costume that blends two different looks into a creepy-adorable hybrid we love: the Broken Doll. This sweet-yet-spooky costume is easy to put together yourself and will definitely stand out from all of the zombies, vampires and witches this year (yawn).
Here's how to create your Broken Doll look:
Step 1: Create a flawless complexion
The secret to looking doll-like is perfect porcelain skin. Get the look by applying a pale foundation, using a blending sponge to even out the colour over your face, including your lips. We love Rimmel London's Fresher Skin Foundation, £7.49, which gives you a light, flawless finish.
Step 2: Get doll eyes
The creepy doll look isn't complete without big, blinking doll eyes. Create a wide-eyed innocent look with a little optical illusion: using a white eye-pencil (we love Rimmel's Soft Kohl Eye Pencil in Pure White 71, £2.99), tight-line your bottom eyelid by applying the shadow stick to the inner line of your eye. This makes your eyes look even bigger than they really are - and you can complete the look by adding a double coating of your favourite mascara to the top and bottom lashes.
Step 3: Create cute cheeks and creepy cracks
Bright and beautiful (and soon to be spooky) beauty isn't complete without an adorable flush. Add subtle contouring with Rimmel London's Kate Sculpting Palette, £6.99, and a sweet pinky blush (we love Royal Blush!) in neat circles to the apples of the cheek. Then, add cracked lines with Rimmel London's Scandaleyes Liquid Eyeliner, £5.49, smudging them slightly with the tips of your fingers. Give your cracks definition with Rimmel London's Scandaleyes Shadow Stick in Witness White, £4.49 – this will help to add shadow.
Step 4: Add a doll-like pout
Finish off your cute-creepy look with pretty pink lips. Use the point of your lipstick (we love Rimmel London's Moisture Renew Lipstick in Oxford Street Fuschia, £6.49) to help draw a smaller lip line to mimic a doll's tiny heart-shaped mouth. Remember: the foundation you applied over your lips in Step 1 will help hide your natural lip line. Put your hair into baby-doll braids and find yourself a pretty little dress, and there you have it - the ultimate Halloween costume to flirt and frighten in.
Want a Halloween beauty look that's a bit more moody? Try this spooky Vampire Princess makeup tutorial.

Of Two Minds On a 9/11 Film
Steven Rosenbaum was feeling anxious as the opening date for his movie approached. But Mr. Rosenbaum, the director of the documentary ''Seven Days in September,'' had an unusual form of anxiety. He was not sure that his film, a composite account of the events of Sept. 11, 2001, and the difficult week that followed them, should be opening at all.
''In a perfect world, I would love New Yorkers to be able to come to it at their own pace,'' Mr. Rosenbaum said, talking with a reporter in a cafe across the street from the UA Union Square 14 cinema complex, one of the Manhattan theaters where his film will have its premiere today (review at left).
''I'd love people to be able to say: 'Hey, you know what? I'm ready to sort some things out. Can you come with me and watch this thing?' '' Mr. Rosenbaum said. ''Not that it's that intense, but I think it should be a little bit of closure when people are ready for it, so the idea that it has to open, that it has to have a run, with all the constraints that involves, makes me uncomfortable.
''I have the idea that the movie should find a home where people can come to it 10 years from now, when they want to explain to their kids what they lived through,'' Mr. Rosenbaum continued. ''My son is 12, and he thinks he knows what happened, but he doesn't really. So I'd like him to be able to see it -- someday. And not in a living room, I think.''
To create ''Seven Days in September,'' which also opens in Los Angeles today, Mr. Rosenbaum put out a call, through print advertisements and the Internet, for both amateur and professional film shot during the disaster and its immediate aftermath. The producer of the MTV news series ''Unfiltered,'' which armed its viewers with small video cameras to cover their own stories, Mr. Rosenbaum is a believer in first-person video journalism as a way of narrowing the gap between the teller and the tale.
''I'm a guy who likes the news business and likes current storytelling,'' Mr. Rosenbaum said, ''but also likes the idea of collaboration and amateur work, and finding the right way in -- which isn't necessary as a journalist. It could be a participant or somebody who's experienced the story.''
Mr. Rosenbaum's call produced hundreds of contacts and nearly 400 hours of videotape. The finished film includes contributions from 27 filmmakers, ranging from Rob Santana, a postal worker who observed the devastation from New Jersey, to Gary Pollard, a professional documentarian and downtown resident whose sequences provide several of the film's most moving and astonishing moments.
''I met Gary at Sundance,'' Mr. Rosenbaum said, ''and he said: 'I hear you're making a film. I have some footage. I haven't looked at it again. I'm not really comfortable. I thought I was going to make a film, but I'm not ready.' ''
''I said, 'Look, Gary, bring your footage in.' Because I was looking at everything at that point. I may have looked at more hours of images on this subject than anyone else on earth. So Gary comes in with a shoebox full of 40 digital videotapes. I said, 'Gary, you've got 40 hours of film here, and you've never looked at it?' He just wasn't ready.''
Summing up, Mr. Rosenbaum said: ''The one thing all the filmmakers have in common is, they all captured something, and they all felt it wasn't enough of a thing to warrant being treated on its own. So what I did was build a frame and say, 'Here's a safe place where you can put it.' ''
Mr. Rosenbaum is looking for a repository for the unedited material he gathered, in the hope of making the entire archive available to the public. ''I have a fantasy that, somewhere down the line, media will be more immersive and I can align these 400 hours into some kind of a time line, in which people can say, 'I want to see this, I want to see that.' ''
Working With Godard
''I realize now that Jean-Luc Godard has been in my life since I was a child and I saw 'Breathless' on TV,'' said Cécile Camp, who stars in Mr. Godard's ''In Praise of Love,'' opening today in Manhattan (review, Page 11). ''I didn't understand his films when I was a teenager, but I always knew him. I remember him as a child as a strange man on TV with big glasses and a strange voice, and he frightened me.''
Mr. Godard continues to frighten some critics, who have found his later work arcane, incomprehensible and anti-American. ''It's the same for the French,'' Ms. Camp said during a visit to New York this summer. ''Everyone knows who he is, but no one has seen his films. They're hard.''
Ms. Camp is a striking brunette with a self-assured manner and a penetrating gaze that, she says, often land her roles as lawyers in theater and on television. (She has done relatively little previous film work.) In the Godard film, she is again a lawyer, this time representing her grandparents, Holocaust survivors who are negotiating the rights to their story with a Hollywood entity called ''Spielberg Associates and Incorporated.''
The atmosphere on Mr. Godard's set was ''very concentrated, silent, not very much fun,'' Ms. Camp said. ''On the first half of the film, which was shot in black-and-white on 35-millimeter film, we had a crew of perhaps 10 people. On the second half, which was shot on video, there were only three or four.''
Ms. Camp won her part through a casting call -- ''a normal, traditional one'' -- and two days later, she started shooting. ''Everyone says he is difficult,'' Ms. Camp said of Mr. Godard. ''But I have met people more difficult than him. But I have not met people more genius.''
Divas as Models
There were divas in popular culture well before Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston, as the film series ''Wings of Desire: Italian Divas and Modern Women, 1900-1920'' reminds us. Beginning tonight at the Anthology Film Archives in the East Village, the series includes 23 films, almost all of them being seen for the first time in the United States. Many have been borrowed from the Netherlands Film Museum, home of one of the world's great collections of early film.
Programmed by the film scholar Angela Dalle Vacche, the series follows the development of the diva -- extravagant, melodramatic actresses like Francesca Bertini and Pina Menichelli -- as a model for the new breed of 20th-century woman. Some of the more promising titles include ''Diva Dolorosa,'' Peter Delpeut's 2000 history of the diva film (tonight at 7:30) and ''Nelly la Domatrice'' (1912), about a female lion tamer (Sept. 14 at 7:30 p.m.). Tickets, $8; $5 for members, students and 65+. Information: (212) 505-5181.

Planning a mother daughter mani/pedi session to celebrate Mothers Day? It's a fun and great way to spend quality time, but traditional nail salons and nail polishes expose you to some pretty nasty chemicals - chemicals that we definitely should expose our moms or daughters too! Instead, make it a fun and non -toxic mothers day and choose a salon or spa that uses 3 or 5 free polishes.
What does '3 Free' mean?
Traditional nail polish can contain a 'toxic trio' of chemicals: toluene, BPD and formaldehyde, obviously not a healthy thing for little girls (especially those who bite their nails or suck their thumbs) to have on their nails.
When buying a new nail polish at a minimum look for those that are 'THREE FREE' which means they are free of these three chemicals:
- Use: Helps nail polish go on smoothly and adhere evenly to the nail. Also used in gasoline fuels.
- Named a developmental toxin by the State of California
- It has been associated with neurological side effects such as dizziness, memory loss and nausea. It can also affect the central nervous system causing dizziness, fatigue, fainting. It is considered a possible reproductive toxin.
- According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) human studies have found "minor craniofacial and limb anomalies, in the children of pregnant women exposed to toluene by inhalation....an association between exposure to toluene and an increased incidence of spontaneous abortions, have also been noted. "
- This particular phthalate reduces polish brittleness and cracking
- Has been banned from nail products in the European Union and is considered a powerful developmental toxin by the state of California
- Is especially dangerous for pregnant women since it has been associated with reproductive harm and underdeveloped genitals in baby boys.
- Formaldehyde is a known human carcinogen. It is also an irritant to the eyes, nose and throat, and can lead to skin irritation and an allergic rash called dermatitis.
Formaldehyde resin: a derivative of Formaldehyde, mainly used in the production of coatings and adhesives. It is not as toxic as Formaldehyde but can be an allergen.
Camphor: is a poison that can cause seizures and disorientation if used in large doses. This chemical acts as a cover on your nails, depriving them of nutrients and causing yellow staining on your nails
... and '8 free' polishes??"The gold safety standard are those that are '8 free' , which are nail polishes that do not contain
the five chemicals mentioned above, nor these additional chemicals:

It's been a rough few weeks for Connecticut residents. Even the most snow-loving Nutmeggers are probably a little tired of pushing snow off their cars, shoveling driveways and dealing with closures and cancellations.
It might seem like an especially brutal winter, but this is New England and snow is par for the course. So has it really been that bad?
The snowfall totals are certainly above average. According to the National Weather Service, average winter snowfall in the city of Hartford is 25.6 inches. So far this season, Hartford has had a total of 41.5 inches. Bridgeport, which has an average snowfall of about 16 inches, has had about 33 inches since November, said FOX CT meteorologist Matt Scott.
It is a lot, Scott said, but it's not historic. According to the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, the snowiest winter on record is the 1995-96 season, with 115.2 inches.
But snowfall averages are just that, reflective of many seasons, NWS meteorologist Hayden Frank said.
"It's typical to get wild variations," he said.
This year the snow has mostly come from coastal storms, or "clippers," Scott said. These storms form offshore and are fast-moving. The amount of snow the state receives from each storm depends on how closely the storm tracks to the shore. The storms are partially the result of jet stream air currents in the Earth's atmosphere that are coming south from Canada, Frank said.
The blizzard that struck in the last week of January was a "traditional, big, powerhouse coastal storm," Frank said. That storm dropped nearly 2 feet of snow along the coastline, with lesser totals to the northwest.
There are many factors that determine whether a winter storm will be severe and where it will hit, Scott said.
"It's like a Rubik's cube," Scott said. "You've got to have everything in place."
The fact that the Northeast has had three storms in less than three weeks is probably contributing to the snow fatigue, Scott said. Hartford had barely any snow prior to January of this year. According to the NWS, about 5 inches fell during a November storm and less than an inch fell in December.
Hartford has had almost 32 inches of snow in a little more than two weeks, Frank said.
Another storm will clip the state Saturday and Sunday, with 3 to 6 inches expected in western Connecticut and 6 to 10 inches east of the Connecticut River. The snow will be light during the day Saturday and intensify at night, said FOX CT meteorologist Dan Amarante.
The storm should end by Sunday morning, but Amarante said there are certainly more chances for snow on the horizon.
The real story is the bitter cold, Scott said. Overnight lows through Monday are expected to be well below zero, with daytime high temperatures reaching only into the teens and 20s.
"'Thaw' is not a word we'll be using around here for a while," he said.
That means that all the snow isn't going anywhere, Scott said. Since the onslaught began in late January, temperatures have been above freezing for at most a few hours at a time, resulting in very little melting.
In urban areas like Hartford, and even in some suburbs, when the snow piles up like this, there's nowhere to put it. At some intersections, snowbanks taller than small SUVs block drivers' vision and downtown roads that are usually three or four lanes wide have been reduced to two, at best.
"It's dangerous, not just for a driver, but for a pedestrian, too," said Dierdre Rossing, a Windsor resident who commutes to Hartford. She said that up until a few days ago, the intersection of State and Market streets was "a little nerve-wracking."
"One whole lane was blocked off," Rossing said.
City workers are removing snow, said Keith Chapman, Hartford's interim public works director, but relocation space is limited. Snow is being brought to city-owned land near New Road in the North Meadows neighborhood.
Chapman also said that city crews are plowing the streets as widely as possible. He said that unlike the suburbs, in which there is a grassy area between the sidewalk and the curb — which he called a snow shelf — cities like Hartford have very little room between the street and the sidewalk.
"There's no snow shelves in the city," he said. "In the suburbs, there are areas 4 to 8 feet wide between curb and sidewalk; that doesn't happen in the city. You have multiple lanes of snow pushed toward a sidewalk, and on the sidewalk, people pushing it back to the road.
"As more snow falls, more and more will be packed along the curb area and there's not a lot you can do about it. I think some people come in from the suburbs and ask, 'Why not push it back to the curb?' The only way to get rid of it is to remove it," he said.
Chapman said that the department has been staying in contact with city police, the CT Transit Authority and city schools.
"We know where the problem areas are and they're being addressed as we can address them," he said. "Everything has been plowed and pushed back as far as it can go. There's just so much snow out there, there's no place to put it. Some people are not going to be happy until things are melting away."
The excess snow can be a serious problem for fire departments trying to respond to emergency calls. Departments throughout the state have been urging residents to help clear the area around fire hydrants in their neighborhoods, whether they were buried by the initial snowfall or covered by a snow plow after the fact.
"A fire doubles in size every minute," South Windsor Fire Chief Kevin Cooney said, so when firefighters have to find or shovel out the hydrants themselves, it's a huge risk. After the most recent storm, South Windsor made the decision to hire a contractor to clear all of the town's 900 fire hydrants.
"But that's at a huge cost to the town," Cooney said.
Another problem for emergency responders is navigating streets narrowed by snowbanks.
"I saw a firetruck try to make it down Broad Street during rush hour last week," said Alex Domingo, a Hartford resident. "It was painful to watch."
Cooney said that, so far, his department hasn't had any problems getting to emergency calls. "Not yet; we keep our fingers crossed."
"There's just so much snow."

Limits, otherwise referred to as boundaries, are an important part of healthy relationships. They separate individual identities, protect an individual's sacred space, and define the relationship. Without boundaries, we may become vulnerable to unhealthy relationships. Why? The simplest answer is we are unable to notice where each person begins and ends. One's self-identity may become fused with his or her partner's identity. The inability to notice a distinct separation between two individuals can lead to emotional entanglement. Once a relationship becomes enmeshed, establishing and maintaining unfamiliar limits can destabilize the partnership.
When I was first introduced to the concept of personal boundaries, I learned that my thoughts, feelings, and choices belong solely to me. In time, I realized I was under no obligation to share these intimate parts of myself with anyone and that it was my choice if and when I did reveal them. Optimally, sharing occurs within mutually respectful relationships where trust has been developed for both individuals. Boundaries are personally empowering whereas fused identities create confusion and increase indecisiveness. When a relationship is enmeshed, the ability to see realistically becomes clouded and hidden. Clarity may seem impossible.
Boundaries are meant to be adjustable, not rigid. If an intrusive person is too involved in your life, firm limits may be required. However, as time passes, perhaps this person earns your trust. Once you become comfortable that they are indeed trustworthy, you can loosen the boundaries. Likewise, if they become more disruptive to your life, you can strengthen your limits.
So, why are boundaries necessary? Have you ever met someone with the hope of friendship, but quickly find him or her an overly involved and demanding part of your life? Maybe a family member expects you to be available at a moment's notice regardless of your responsibilities. Or perhaps your new boyfriend gets too serious and possessive seemingly overnight? These are warning signs to you. And, they mean you should consider setting limits, but it's your choice what those limits may be and how involved people become in your life. Those choices belong only to you.
The world of online self-expression has increased our ability to maintain connections across the globe. However, it has also reduced natural boundaries that are part of face to face interactions. Often, people share too much personal information in public forums. Be mindful of your online presence, especially if you have a history of abusive or toxic relationships. Make sure the people in your life are supportive of your autonomy and respectful of your emotional, financial, and physical resources.
A word to sensitive, introverted, and empathic individuals: boundaries are particularly important for you. The way you relate to the world is unique and can leave you feeling more vulnerable. It can be difficult to separate yourself from the unfolding environment. The ability to feel, absorb, and deeply experience what is happening around you is the catalyst for the empathy you bring to the world. Understanding yourself and your needs will help define the people and settings that are most healthy for you.
The ability to set appropriate boundaries in our relationships may be uncomfortable in the beginning. In time, your relationships will become healthier, more respectful, more peaceful, and ultimately more meaningful.

The Second Coming of Live Aid

Rumours are growing over the possibility of another Live Aid concert, to be held in London's Hyde Park this summer. The show will be entitled Live 8, since it will coincide with the G8 summit in July. Artists rumoured to be playing the event include Oasis, U2, Paul McCartney, Madonna, and Coldplay.
It's been 20 years since the original Live Aid concert in London and Philadelphia. The concerts raised funds and awareness for famine relief in Ethiopia and other poorer nations in Africa. Memorable performances from the first Live Aid included U2, Queen, the reunions of both Led Zepplin and Black Sabbath, and Phil Collins's dual performances in both the London and Philadelphia concerts on the same day.
Original Live Aid organizer Bob Geldof is attached to the new project. Plans are underway to stage a show simultaneously in the U.S. headlined by rapper Eminem. The shows will be free.

German Election 2017 How the AfD Steamrolled the CDU and SPD
Angela Merkel may have been re-elected, but the chancellor faces a tough road ahead: Big setbacks for her conservatives combined with a strong right-wing populist showing and what promises to be an unwieldy governing coalition will test the country's political resilience. Our full English-language election analysis.
Germans went to the polls on Sunday, where they gave enough votes to Angela Merkel's party to ensure her reelection for a fourth term as chancellor. But they also severely punished the parties of the current government coalition, including Merkel's conservative Christian Democrats and the center-left Social Democrats, who had their worst showing in postwar German history. Sunday's vote also represents a watershed moment historically given that the right-wing populist Alternative for Germany will now enter parliament as the third-strongest party. Parts of the party are openly far-right extremist in its views and its presence in parliament could very well change the nature of political debate in Germany.

Sometimes it starts with an idea. Sometimes it starts with a need. Regardless of its beginnings, at Killeen Studio Architects, every project is a collaboration between you and your project team. It is the only way we know to deliver the high quality architectural designs and construction documents you need for an outstandingly successful building project.
For more than 15 years, our St. Louis based architectural firm has provided a full range of commercial and residential architectural services to developers, contractors and homeowners. We design distinct spaces in which people enjoy working, learning and living.
At Killeen's, architecture is the process of fine-tuning an idea through a design process to achieve the perfect balance between aesthetic, function, program and budget.
Killeen Studio Architects was founded in February 2000 by the husband and wife team of Michael and Anne Killeen. In 2005 we moved our operation into 3015 Salena [1], an 1886 factory building in the historic Benton Park neighborhood of St. Louis.
The building was originally built by and home to the Lecoutour Bros Stair Manufacturing Co, and it was subsequently occupied by an ice cream cone company, a wooden heel manufacturing company, an aluminum siding company and the Continental Lithography Company, before being purchased and renovated by Killeen Studio.
Century old pine floors were salvaged and refinished, brick walls were restored, and open, spacious rooms replaced walled office partitions. 3015 Salena is currently occupied by Killeen Studio Architects and several other businesses who enjoy the well-lit, comfortable workspace.
Killeen Studio was founded on a simple principal. Provide excellent service, bring creativity to all you do, watch the bottom line and be selective. For over 17 years, we have applied that philosophy to all of our projects from a humble home addition, to exhibit work at the Magic House to multi-million dollar development and brewing projects. We are selective when it comes to new projects to assure we have the right staff and the capacity to help accomplish our clients goals.
Killeen Studio Architects is a full service firm that serves the commercial and residential markets.
We use the most advanced building design and construction software — Revit®. It has features for architectural design, MEP and structural engineering along with construction and visualization.
High quality architectural drawings mean fewer problems and mistakes on-site and better budget control.
We are fully insured and licensed in Missouri, Illinois and Texas and we have been recognized for design excellence in the media and by the Landmarks Association.
We have also implemented the latest 3D technology that gives our clients the ability to visually 'walk through' their project even in the earliest stages of design. CLICK HERE [2] for more information!
Our commercial projects [3] range in size, type and complexity and include luxury and boutique hotels, Michelin starred restaurants, boutique retail environments, franchise outlets, educational institutions and offices along with multi-family housing and mixed use developments.
"Our story is one of proving ourselves early with clients and then fostering ongoing relationships in which they trust us to deliver excellence time and again," says Principal Architect and company owner Mike Killeen.
Early projects included designing renovations in the city's historic neighborhoods as well as office remodels for Anheuser-Busch. Since then, Killeen Studio has been awarded increasingly larger projects from A-B at its headquarters in St. Louis and at many of its satellite breweries across the nation.
Our commercial clients have included:
|AJ Adhesives
|GMAC Financing
|Anheuser-Busch, Inc.
|Gus' Pretzels
|Archdiocese of St. Louis, MO
|Astaris (ICL Performance Products)
|ITT Technical Institute
|Cardinal Brands
|Lodging Hospitality Management
|Cornerstone Development
|Little Caesar's Pizza
|Diocese of Jefferson City, MO
|Loftworks, LLC
|Carol House Furniture
|Mallinckrodt Chemical
|City of St. Louis School Retirement ystem
|Peacemaker Lobster and Crab Co.
|Enterprise Rent-A-Car
|Rothschild Development
Our residential portfolio [4] includes luxury private residences, unique spaces, residential lofts and additions to private homes.
Our internal project management systems are designed to give homeowners the support and guidance they need at every stage of the architectural and construction process.
Aesthetics are very important. But interior design is about so much more than picking the right color chair. The space must function well and the materials must be durable enough for the anticipated wear and tear.
In some cases special needs must be accommodated. For example energy efficient lighting may be an important consideration in a hotel and non-allergenic furnishings may be a critical factor for a healthcare environment or an asthma sufferer's home.
We offer a full slate of architectural services and we believe it is our role to help guide you and your project from exploring your initial idea to the last day of construction.
From the attentiveness of our detail orientated staff to our system of scheduled quality control checks, our work is always thorough and our practices efficient.
However, there are some areas in which Killeen Studio Architects excels.
Sustainable Architectural Design
Our staff is LEED-certified and we are committed to creating environmentally responsible structures [5].
Historic Preservation and Adaptive Reuse
At Killeen Studio Architects, we walk the talk. We live and work in Benton Park, a historic [6] neighborhood in St. Louis. Our office building, was a dilapidated eyesore when we purchased it in 2004, is now a comfortable creative working environment and the recipient of the "Most Enhanced" Landmarks Award.
Mike is a board member of the City of St. Louis Preservation Board, a member of Missouri Historic Preservation Alliance, and was the chairman of the 2010 Missouri State Historic Preservation Conference.

Using a powerful beam of light from a computer-controlled laser, surface layers are melted and blown away or vaporized. The beam of the laser is an extremely focused radiation of a wavelength, meaning the beam will not dissipate like conventional light beams.
Some laser beam machining services include drilling, graining and 3-D shaping. Serving industries such as medical, aerospace, telecommunication and microtechnology, laser machining applications include thin material processing, thin film patterning, wafer coring and hole drilling. These are just a few of the vast amounts of tools produced by laser cutting machines, since every machine in the manufacturing industry requires such parts.
In laser beam machining, the beam may be shaped in two different ways: either through beam focusing, which uses an optical system to focus the laser beam on a particular size of spot, or through a mask, which utilizes geometric optic properties. Once the beam is shaped, it is controlled through a stable motion system, which is a combination of CNC and CAD computer systems, to achieve high edge quality during laser-material interaction. Assist gases such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide are then used in conjunction with laser machining to prepare newly cut surfaces for painting or corrosion resistance. Materials that can be laser machined include plastics, ceramics, cast iron, precious metals, glass and titanium.
Laser machining services have distinct advantages over conventional cutting processes such as thermal machining, mechanical machining, arc welding, EDM and flame cutting. Laser-machined parts have a condition of nearly zero edge deformation, roll-off or edge factor, leaving very little burring on part edges. Because it is often directed by CNC, laser machining rarely makes mistakes and is able to mass produce the same item quickly and efficiently. Laser machining is faster than conventional tool-making techniques and has a quicker turnaround for parts regardless of complexity because design changes can be easily accommodated.
Fewer technicians are required and safety can be assured, unlike arc welding, which requires individual workers and can be very dangerous. However, laser machining is costly, mostly because it uses a vast amount of energy to run. It is not negotiable for bulk material, nor is it able to operate on a macro scale. That is why CNC machine shops are around, so that individual companies do not need to purchase these machines individually, but can take their designs to professional laser cutters, knowing the quality of their product is insured.

Actually it says "Division B will typically concentrate on two predetermined systems, whereas Division C will typically concentrate on three systems"(that's to goofy and hmath too for the event/topic mistake). It shouldn't be such a worry. More info means more fun ! Currently I see the cardiovascular, integumentary and immune systems on that nats site. Nothing much else to do about it but to channel your bio enjoyment, no? I don't have the draft rules, hmath, but I'd be willing to wager they could rightly change things up if they felt like it. It's not only fair, but also things could be much worse. Anyway, good luck.Wait..what is false?
Maybe they say it's two events because...there are 2 new ones?

There is no additional cost for Apple Pay. In fact, part of the revolutionary step forward for Apple Pay is that a mobile wallet payment solution will now receive "card present" Interchange card rates rather than "card not present"
Apple Pay fees will not be charged to users, merchants or developers.
While not yet confirmed, it appears that Apple will collect a fee for each transaction through Apple Pay from card issuing banks at no additional cost to merchants or consumers. .

My dad is in The Frontier House. I am pleased with the staff's response. They do care about the residents that live there. They try to help them out the best they can. They go the extra mile to make them as comfortable as they can and to keep them busy and occupied with what they want to do. They do pay attention to what the residents like in their diet and try to accommodate them. They allow visitors like myself to come in and visit anytime we want and stay as long as we want with our relative, so I have a positive feeling about that. My mother was in this place before, so when my father needs to go into assisted living, I pick Frontier House. They have two people to a room. Each one has their own dresser and clothes closet, and they want me to bring some personal effects for my dad to hang on the wall. I have favorable things to say on the way they operate and do things there. The food is delicious. They invited me to eat several times, and I did. I eat the same food that the residents eat there, and they try not to have the food too hot because they don't like to burn them up or anything like that, so they try to have it warm, but they don't have it hot. It is easy for the elderly person to eat that, and I think the food is good. They also offer different drinks. The place is clean. They want to see what each resident wants, and I know that they have reading materials. They have two different newspapers that come in the morning and magazines. So, if the residents want to read magazines, they can. They have a television there in the living room, and mostly the residents like sitting there and watch TV. Then they do have smaller TVs there also that they have in the room. So, if the resident wishes to watch TV in the privacy of their own room, they can do that. They have the doors locked at all times, and if you want to go out, they will walk you, unlock the door, and let you out. Then, they lock the door. In this particular house, they have 10 residents maximum. Right now, they have 8, and they have 1 caregiver for all 8 residents. They can always have another caregiver, but I don't know if that is feasible. They have monitors in the rooms so they can hear what the patients are doing at night, and they have alarm system that if the patients try to get out of bed the alarms goes on. They did a pretty good job.

I am a friend or relative of resident
My father has lived here since Frontier House opened. It has been a wonderful place for him to live. He is home! He has a warm caring safe place to be. The staff are terrific. I could not be more pleased with the care my father receives there.

There is an alternative to "nursing homes" and large "assisted living" facilities for your loved one! My grandmother was at a large nursing home (she passed away several years ago, god bless her), anyway if I had only new of the Frontier House back then... The Frontier House is an assisted living suburban home shared by only 8 to 10 residents. Small assisted living residences such as this one provides individual attention and affection, not to mention the emotional comfort derived from a homelike setting: I have been there several times with a friend who's mother is there. The first time I was there I immediately could see the personal one on one care that is provided for everyone and the difference provided from a larger nursing home facility. Whether they gather around the big dining room table for home cooked meals and/or gather in the great room in their favorite chairs for television, snacks, activities, music or conversation everyone is attentively cared for - all just a few steps from the covered back porch, beautiful back yard, and detached recreation/activity room "" would have been perfect for Mom's 89th birthday! Everything is taken care of for them from brushing their teeth to laundry, dressing, and making their beds. My friends mother's bedroom has some of her own personal furniture which I thought was a nice touch for her, she actually thinks it's her house (she is so sweet). I would recommend the Frontier House for anyone interested in having the best in one on one care for their loved ones.

They have snacks and fresh fruits and vegetables.They do lots of baking of fresh breads and desserts. They offer housekeeping and laundry. They have assisted and a few dementia residents. They have doctors on emergency call. Family is relied on for transport to appointments.All caregivers are certified. They do a lot of in house activities such as exercise, bingo, cards, movies,parties, and music and arts and crafts. The residents can go out to the senior center. They put on a huge dinner party with entertainment in the center's auditorium once a year. Along with this they have a large auction to support the senior center. This is a nice facility and staff but the activities to go out are limited somewhat.

Baby sleep training Ebook
No matter what your baby's temperament is like, unless he or she has a serious medical problem, there are methods which will, through constant application and experiment, produce fantastic results in the area of providing your child with a night of good, full sleep–which they will need to be healthy.
The trick is to start early, and help your baby develop good sleep habits by building rituals that tell babies when it's time to close their eyes and get some rest. These habits can be cultivated almost from birth, and, though all babies will wake up and feed at night through their first few months and even years, instilling them early will result in sound sleep practices through childhood, and often for a lifetime.
I Will Show You The Exact Steps You Can Take to Get Your Baby to Sleep!
Learn great baby sleep techniques from real mothers and medical experts.
We have spent over 100 hours of research to ensure that every successful baby sleep method is included in this ebook. Try them with your baby to see which ones work.

I went on a date with my husband last night. We sat at the bar on stools; my knees kept knocking into his because I bounce my legs when I sit. We sipped on cocktails and discussed whether or not you're supposed to drink from the skinny little black straws or if you're just supposed to use them to stir. We flirted and giggled, and you'd have thought we were on our very first date. You would've thought it was last call on a Friday night and that he would soon walk me to my car before we went our separate ways.
In reality, it was a Monday at 4:59pm. We met outside of the restaurant just minutes before it opened. We were the very first customers of the evening. We felt embarrassed at first as the bartender hesitantly moseyed over to ask what we wanted. Like do these people know what time it is?
We must have looked like children on Christmas morning, brimming with anticipation. That's when he couldn't keep it in any longer, and my husband explained,
"This is our second date since we had our baby."
I recently read a brilliant tip on dating when you're married: Instead of leaving the house together and finishing your make up in the car while hubby finds a parking spot, meet there.
So we did. I got ready at home. My husband left work a little early, and we met there. I got giddy and checked my lip gloss in the rearview mirror.
When we met up on the downtown mall, I felt pretty and put-together and prepared.
He didn't know that just minutes before, I was wiping spit up out of my hair with one arm and writing notes with crayon for the babysitter with the other. He didn't realize that I cried in the car on the way over because Leann Womack's "I Hope You Dance" came on the radio.
Our date went from 4:59pm to approximately 6:35pm. I had to be back at the house to nurse at 7pm, so it wasn't your traditional dinner-and-movie evening. But it was necessary and so decadent.
I think it's vital to a marriage to stay romantic even if you have to piecemeal your way through making it happen.
My husband sent me a text after I left to drive home: "That felt like our first date."
So, piecemeal or not, I think it worked.
