Those who opt for fashion by Steinbock want to wear something special. The brand manufactures its traditional rustic wear and traditional dress in small, limited quantities– exclusivity included! Steinbock fuses traditional shapes and cuts with the zeitgeist of the current times. Classic sporty fashion that unites traditions and modernity. Fashion by Steinbock is made from top-quality materials that make high demands of value and quality. Jackets and coats for outdoors and sport are made in light processing from hi-tech fibres. In addition, robust, waterproof, wind-resistant loden is used for the rustic wear and traditional dress. In contrast, elegant business and leisurewear is made from the finest new wool or cotton.
Brand philosophyThe stylised ibex is the trademark of the chic fashion from the Alps and a reflection of the brand's character. Naturalness and regional identity are hallmarks of the brand hence only natural materials and regional fabrics are used for all items of clothing. Instead of mass production, at Steinbock, the exclusive fashion is only made in small quantities. All Steinbock dirndls and collection items are lovingly designed and manufactured. Carefully-selected decorative elements such as piping made from imitation leather or decorative buttons lend each item of clothing a very special touch.
History The history of the Steinbock brand began in Innsbruck back in 1938 with the manufacture of leather coats. The company's traditional dress factory is still based in Innsbruck today, though the stylish current collections by Steinbock are now manufactured in Austrian Villach. The small Tyrolean family-run business has since developed into an internationally successful fashion enterprise.

text: BUSINESS Lindman set to shepherd MTV's N net 4:00 AM PST 2/16/2007 by Kimberly Nordyke , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Empty Sarah Tomassi Lindman has been tapped to head the N, MTV Networks' nighttime network for teens, where she will lead a newly named executive programming team.In addition, the network has picked up the drama series "South of Nowhere" for a third season and is launching its first-ever online multiplayer game, called "Trendetta," which allows users to compete and chat in real time.As senior vp and general manager of the N, Lindman will be responsible for running the day-to-day operations, including on-air programming, online content, scheduling and marketing and working with MTV Networks' affiliate sales organization on the channel's distribution rollout.Lindman, who was vp production and programming at the N, replaces Tom Ascheim, who was executive vp/general manager and now serves as executive vp/general manager at Nickelodeon Television. Lindman, who reports to Ascheim, previously held posts at sister network Noggin, Kids' WB! and Warner Bros. Animation.She will oversee a newly named executive programming team that includes Amy Friedman, who has been named senior vp/creative director of original programming after serving as senior vp development/creative director at Nickelodeon Digital Television; Melinda Fishman, who joins the network as vp current series after serving as a freelance media consultant; and Meeri Park Cunniff, who was upped to vp programming from executive director.Lindman said her goal is to ramp up production, with more original content on-air and online, and is especially looking at comedy series projects. She also wants to draw in more viewers outside the network's target 13-19 demo."We've done a great job superserving the teen audience, but I'm looking forward to inviting in a larger and broader audience that is interested in celebrating the teen experience," she said. "We'll continue to tell teen stories from the teen point of view, but the brand is something that celebrates the teen in all of us. It's about going back and reliving that experience for people who are nostalgic about this time in their lives."Meanwhile, Lindman said that "Trendetta" combines multiplayer game play, social networking and popular culture — three interests of the network's target demo.In the game, launching at The-N.com on Monday, players will square off against each other to control the whims of public opinion and promote their favorite trends, fashions, musicians and celebrities using word-of-mouth, TV, the Internet and celebrity endorsement. Lindman noted that the-N.com had its best month ever in December with 2.1 million unique visitors. Meanwhile, "Nowhere" is going into production on a 16-episode third season in the spring, with a debut targeted for the fourth quarter. The drama, from creator/executive producer Tom Lynch, centers on a family whose lives are changed when they move from Ohio to Los Angeles, where they find themselves unprepared for the fast-paced, metropolitan environment.The N, which airs every day from 6 p.m.-6 a.m. ET, now has a total of five series in production, including "Nowhere"; "Degrassi: The Next Generation"; "Beyond the Break"; "Instant Star," whose third season debuts at 8:30 p.m. ET on Friday; and the upcoming drama "The Best Years," premiering in June. Also in the works are the upcoming drama "What Goes On," debuting in the fourth quarter, and "Halls of Fame," the first-ever TV project from rapper Chris "Ludacris" Bridges.

I feel like WG picked terrible timing for their "Fire and Ice" event, which is a T7 tank event happening during Frontline, a Tier 8 tank event.
You're obviously going to benefit more off of Frontline than you are over these FIRE/ICE shenanigans, unless you subscribe to those T7 Tank/Premium time bundles that I see, so I feel it's a bad timing on Wargaming's Part.
If Wargaming really wanted to get more of our wallets, they should of moved this event earlier or later. But not when Tier 8 premiums are going to be a better deal (unless they aren't, I don't pay attention to the Premium shop)!
(Not like I'm, going to do well in either event lol, I only have The KV 3 and no T8s )

Bladder & Urinary Tract Infections
What are bladder & urinary tract infections?
A bladder infection or urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection in your urinary system. Your urinary system is composed of the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. Any part of your urinary system can become infected, but most infections involve the lower urinary tract the bladder and the urethra. Women are at greater risk of developing a urinary tract infection than are men. A urinary tract infection limited to your bladder can be painful and disruptive. However, serious consequences can occur if a urinary tract infection spreads to your kidneys.
Risk for developing a bladder infection/UTI increases with:
- Infection in other parts of the genitourinary system. Bacteria can reach the bladder from another part of the body through the bloodstream. Bacteria can enter the urinary tract from skin around the genital and anal area.
- Frequent or vigorous sexual activity
- Pregnancy
- Poor hygiene
- Diabetes
- Certain types of birth control
- Urinary tract problems (tumors, kidney stones or narrowing of the ureters or urethra)
- Injury to the urethra (the tube from the bladder to the outside)
- Use of a urinary catheter to empty the bladder
- Incomplete bladder emptying
What are the symptoms of bladder & urinary tract infections?
Symptoms of a bladder infection/UTI may include:
- Pressure, burning, or stinging during urination
- Frequent urination, increased urge to urinate
- Sensation of incomplete bladder emptying
- Pain in the abdomen over the bladder
- Lower-back pain
- Blood in the urine, foul-smelling urine, or cloudy urine
- Low fever and chills
- Painful sexual intercourse
- Lack of urinary control (sometimes)
- A need to urinate more often at night
What is the treatment for bladder & urinary tract infections?
Visit Healthcare Clinic at select Walgreens to be evaluated for a urinary tract infection. Antibiotics may be prescribed to treat an infection.* In addition, you can take steps to reduce your chance of getting a urinary tract infection in the first place.
- Drink eight glasses of water every day
- Avoid potentially irritating feminine products such as douche, hygiene sprays or deodorants
- Avoid bubble baths
- Wear underwear with a cotton crotch
- Avoid postponing urination
- Urinate within 15 minutes after intercourse
- Always wipe from front to back after urinating

1: Youth Activities encompasses many areas in the Ladies Auxiliary. We at the Kyle/Buda VFW Post 12058 Ladies Auxiliary are extremely proud this year to have a Junior Girls Unit attached to our group. We highlight them on the cover of this scrapbook to show our pride in their growth during their short existence. We look to them to grow as leaders of the community and continue to support our veterans through the years.
2: Working with the Kyle/Buda VFW Post 12058, the Ladies Auxiliary assisted with the 1st NFL Punt Pass and Kick Competition sponsored by the Post. It is part of the National Football League's commitment to Play 60 program. Ladies Auxiliary members arrived to set up the registration area, food counter, and competition stations. The Junior Girls Program was also part of the membership drive with two new girls being recruited. The competition began at 12 noon and continued until 6:00 pm. There was good community participation in the event. One of our Hays County Court Commissioners participated in the "dunk tank".
4: Working with the Kyle/Buda VFW Post 12058, the Ladies Auxiliary assisted with the concession stand at the Kyle Invaders' home football game on Saturday October 22, 2011. The Event was held at Simon Middle School on HWY 150 in Kyle. As this event was for the students in the Kyle/Buda area, tables were set up to promote the Creative Art Project, the Voice of Democracy Project and the Patriot's Pen Project. Many applications for all projects were distributed. | Kyle Invaders
7: The Kyle/Buda Ladies VFW Auxiliary Post 12058 and the VFW Post members participated in The Dia de Los Muertos Extravaganza held at Gregg-Clark Park in Kyle on Saturday November 5, 2011, from 10 – 2. We arrived at the park with the VFW members approximately 9:00 to begin set up. We had patriotic coloring pages at our table for local youth. With over 2500 community members participating in this annual event, we had a very popular table. We did recruiting for the Ladies Auxiliary and the Junior Girls.
8: The Kyle/Buda VFW Post 12058 along with the Ladies Auxiliary assisted in publicizing the Citizenship Educator awards. One award went to a K-5 teacher at Kyle Elementary, Ms. Bertha Ensley. The VFW Post and Ladies Auxiliary attended the award ceremony at Lehman High School for the 9-12 educator Mr. Brian Hemple of Lehman High School. The event at Lehman High School was also covered by the Hays Free Press. Picture is from the Hays Free Press.
9: The Kyle/Buda VFW Post 12058 along with the Ladies Auxiliary began work on the promotion and school participation in the Voice of Democracy and Patriot's Pen programs in August 2011. Representatives of the Post and Auxiliary met with the Hays Consolidated Independent School District Superintendent to garner support for the programs. The District was very supportive providing us with introductory letters to present at each school so the program information would be distributed to all students, teachers and parents. Ladies Auxiliary and Post members visited 11 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, and 3 high schools in three days during the first week of school (last week in August). Each building was very supportive and cooperative. We also promoted participation at tables we set up at Kyle Market Days, Punt-Pass-and Kick competition, Hootenanny on the Hill, and Kyle Invaders Volunteer Day. Participation was excellent with over 40 entrants. Essays were judged by members of the Post, Ladies Auxiliary and community. On November 21 the winners, Tenley Lehman from Chapa Middle School - Patriot's Pen and Stephen Luna from Hays High School - Voice of Democracy, were presented with their Certificates and Scholarship Checks.
10: The Junior Girls gathered at the VFW Post to make Christmas Cards for our troops in Afghanistan. Together they made cards to be placed in the packages that were sent to our troops.
12: The Christmas Cards made their way to Afghanistan. Captain Widmar Roman sent these pictures back to the girls with thanks from his men for their thoughtfulness!
14: On December 20, 2011 the Junior Girls visited Hays County Judge Beth Smith's Courtroom. Judge Smith spoke to the girls about that she did in her role as a judge and how long she held the position. She explained that her position was an elected one and that she had to campaign every four years. She let the girls know how much she loves her job and her reasons for becoming a judge.
17: Kyle/Buda VFW Post 12058 Ladies Auxiliary Junior Girls Unit presented a Cheer of Pride and Support at the VFW/Ladies Auxiliary Mid Winter Meeting held in Austin, Texas. The girls practiced their cheer at their regular meetings and additional times also.

Hundreds of runners came out Saturday for a Marine Corps charity race on the New Jersey shore, a race run without incident one year after pipe bomb detonated at the event site and forced its cancellation.
Security was beefed up for this year's Semper Five race, with trash cans removed along the race route in Seaside Heights and manhole covers sealed.
The race also saw a sharp increase in registrants, with nearly 2,000 runners taking part.
Evan Adanatzian from Manahawkin won the race. He said he had no concerns about security.
"I knew Security was great....I felt safe," he told NBC 4 New York.
The registration surge had spurred organizers to move the race from Seaside Park to neighboring Seaside Heights, due to the larger boardwalk there that could accommodate the extra runners. Race officials said the increase in runners was a response to the bombing and people wanting to show support for the military.
The bomb that rocked last year's event was planted by Ahmad Khan Rahimi as the start of a two-day reign of terror in the region, authorities have said.
Several hours after that blast, another bomb exploded in a New York City neighborhood, wounding 29 people. The next night, a homeless man and his friend alerted authorities after they found a backpack full of explosives in a trash can near a train station in Elizabeth, New Jersey. Five devices were in the bag, including one that exploded while a bomb squad robot attempted to disarm it.
Rahimi, an Afghanistan-born man living in Elizabeth, was arrested the next morning after he was seriously injured in a shootout with police in Linden. He has pleaded not guilty to charges related to the bombings and is being held without bail while awaiting his trial, scheduled to start Oct. 2.
No one was injured in the Seaside Park explosion, mostly because the start of the race had been delayed because of a large number of late entrants, or by the devices found in Elizabeth. But the situation frightened many in a region where the Sept. 11 attacks still reverberate strongly.
Joan Totaro from Toms River said she came to support the troops.
"They put their lives on the line for us, the least we can do is come out and support," she said. "And look, it's even bigger now. It just shows that hate doesn't win."

Why Fullscreen Is Betting So Big on Branded Entertainment
The multichannel network Fullscreen is trying to run far away from the label of "just a YouTube ad network."
In fact, the company--which built its business by helping manage thousands of YouTube stars--wants to become more of a youth marketing brand consultancy, and one that is much less YouTube-dependent, says chief executive George Strompolos.
Last week, Fullscreen announced plans to build out a studio designed to help advertisers create highly customized digital content centered around digital influencers. The company, which AT&T and media mogul Peter Chernin purchased a majority stake in last fall, tapped Billy Parks and Bryan Thoensen as senior vice presidents of the new strategic content group.
Mr. Parks was previously an executive vice president for digital production and programming for The Chernin Group, while Mr. Thoensen ran brand content at Hulu.
With Web video advertising surging, you might wonder why Fullscreen would invest so deeply in such labor-intensive, seemingly hard-to-scale work (like this Pizza Hut video featuring YouTube star Andrea Russett) versus just selling lots of pre-roll ads.
Mr. Strompolos said he sees this new group operating as part production studio and part youth marketing consultancy. "We've done a lot of work with brands over the last few years," he said. "And now that more of them 'get it' in terms of what's going on [with this young generation's shifting media habits] They no longer want to do 'one-offs." They want to connect with this audience. So the goal of this group...definitely will to be more involved in strategy and planning for advertisers. We are moving upstream if you will."
And moving off YouTube for some brands. "A creator for us is anybody who makes content and is tastemaker," said Fullscreen Chief Revenue Officer Michael Wann. "So that's anybody in our portfolio, from stars on Instagram to Snapchat. We are no longer just YouTube-specific."
To be sure, Fullscreen's business is still anchored by YouTube. But increasingly, as it is many in the Web video arena, Facebook is becoming an key focus. Mr. Strompolos said that Fullscreen is as excited about Facebook as anybody, but he's anxious for it to hatch an advertising plan for video. "Facebook is doing really well, but we are taking a wait-and-see approach," he said. "There is still no clear path to monetization."
There does seem to be a clearer path to monetization for companies that promise to help advertisers cater to social media influencers. Earlier this week, Twitter purchased Niche, a startup that helps brands connect with talent on Vine and other platforms.
At some point, you have to wonder whether ad agencies start feeling squeezed out by these middlemen. But Mr. Strompolos sees agencies playing a key role in this ecosystem, particular given that there are so many new players in the mix, and somebody needs to play quarterback.
Meanwhile, as Fullscreen pushes deeper into sponsored content and consulting work, the company is also recognizing the growth of programmatic, or more automated and data-driven, ad buying. That's something many MCNs are contemplating.
To that end Fullscreen has a product in beta called Influencer Plus, or I-Plus, aimed at helping advertisers crank out quick brand mentions from Fullscreen's deep pool of talent.
"A few years ago, we realized, most of the top [branded] stuff goes to top talent," said Mr. Strompolos. "But sometimes the brand just wants a lot of activations [i.e. brief mentions or product placements] with influencers. And there are many degrees of influencer in our network. So this product helps us connect with brands at scale."

Gold mining is estimated to create 40,000 pounds (18,000 kg) of waste to yield enough gold for one 18-karat gold ring. When gold is mined from the ground, it typically is mixed with other rock that needs to be separated in order to process the gold. This excess rock is known as waste rock. Waste rock generally has no other use and is disposed of. Some mines treat waste rock with toxic substances, such as cyanide, to help separate it from the gold. Many countries have specific laws about how waste rock must be handled, to prevent contaminating water supplies, for example.

Barbecued Teriyaki ribs
Ingredients for 4 portions
Per portion: 2721 kJ / 650 kcal
Preparation time: 1h
The day before, mix together all rib marinade ingredients and spoon over the ribs, turning until well coated. Cover with cling film and refrigerate overnight.
To prepare the squash, peel, deseed and chop flesh into 2 cm / ¾ in chunks. Mix all other ingredients and pour over the squash in an ovenproof dish.
Preheat the oven to 190 C / Gas mark 5. Drain the ribs, reserving any marinade, and roast for 20 minutes.
Roast the squash below the ribs for 10 minutes. Remove the ribs, move the squash to the higher shelf and cook for another 10 minutes or until tender.
Meanwhile, brush the ribs with remaining marinade and transfer to a barbecue or grill for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally. Serve with the squash and salad.
Tip: Use a sharp heavy knife or cleaver to split the squash in two. The seeds can be toasted and eaten as a snack.
Variations: Pumpkin or sweet potato can be used instead of squash. If you prefer, mash the cooked squash before serving.

I would like to do a measure (preferably a calculated column, but I am not able to do this, as I don't have access to the SQL server) where I am calculating the following: an Average based on City and an Average compared to the others in the same city. I would LOVE for it to be in the same table / visualization. Is this even doable without any developer having to create a new column for me?
See an example below
Go to Solution.
Hi @JimmyDQN,
Is it a Direct Query connection? I have updated the attachment. You can try it again.
Best Regards,Dale

Anyone? 🙂
Can you share a dummy sample, please? The data and its structure are the critical parts to make a formula. For example,
1. How did these data tables connect?
2. Which columns have duplicates?
I have an attachment above. Or do you mean the data model? 🙂
Hi @JimmyDQN,
Yes, it's the data model. You have at least three tables. I need to know the connections among them.
@v-jiascu-msft would this help? 🙂
The calculated column [AverageBasedonCity] is easy and it should be in the table 'geography'.
AverageBasedonCity =
AVERAGE ( 'hours registered'[Hours] ),
ALLEXCEPT ( 'geography', 'geography'[city] )
The other one could be in the table 'hours registered'.
Average compared to group in City =
[hours] / RELATED ( 'geography'[AverageBasedonCity] )
If they aren't correct, please provide a dummy sample.
@v-jiascu-msft Would it be possible to do this without calculated columns but only measures?
Yes, I just follow your first post. It could be like below. If not, please share a sample.
AverageBasedonCity =
AVERAGE ( 'hours registered'[Hours] ),
ALLEXCEPT ( 'geography', 'geography'[city] ),
ALL ( person )
Average compared to group in City =
SUM ( [hours] ) / [AverageBasedonCity]
It does not work unfortunatly, how do I attach a file?

Most new business owners seem to think they have nailed online marketing because they have a Facebook page. They devote hours to posting content and getting likes, building fans, sharing content but they forget the obvious! That actually convert any of their followers.
They don't track their ROI. Hours wasted, no new leads, no sales but they 20 likes on a post of their dog in the shop! Yes I know you need some personality in marketing but you also need to know your P&L.
As you obviously know Facebook is not actually closing down but read on to learn more and get my point.
If you have a Facebook Page for your business have you done any of the following?
- Shared a link to educating content on your own site (Content marketing)
- Told your followers to take action over at your site (Call to action)
- Made an offer asking them to join your email list (Not afraid to sell)
- Run a promotion which involves them going to your web site or visiting your shop (Building repeat business)
While Facebook is great for startups and building customers, it is pointless if all you do is tell them about your business.
Facebook is closing down. How then will you market your business?
Seriously! If 90% of your marketing is done via Facebook what will you do when it shuts down?
How will you contact your customers?
I speak to loads of business owners about marketing strategies and it drives me mad when all they do is post on Facebook!
My video rant says it all.
As I said, people check their email daily. This study says more people use the web for emailing rather than social media.
It's proven that email is still the winner. Open rates are much higher with email compared to CTR (click through rates) of Facebook.
Please starting building an email list so you can communicate with your followers and customers. Try out Aweber if you have not used an email marketing tool before.
What I hope you take from this article…
I hope you got some value from my rant and you can see having a Facebook Page is not the only tool to have in your marketing toolbox.
No matter what business you own, start building an emailing list or customer database.
I can not emphasise this enough!!

ClimateWise supports the insurance industry to better communicate disclose and respond to the risks and opportunities associated with the climate-risk protection gap. This is the growing divide between total economic and insured losses attributed to climate change.
Representing a growing global network of leading insurance industry organisations, ClimateWise helps to align its members' expertise to directly support society as it responds to the risks and opportunities of climate change.
ClimateWise Principles
The Principles help members disclose their individual response to climate change. An annual assessment of each member and a collective public review of the ClimateWise community help inform regulators and the broader financial markets on how the insurance industry is responding to the challenges and opportunities they face.
Societal Resilience Programme
The Societal Resilience Programme convenes impact-orientated, collaborative research to help insurers proactively respond to the widening climate risk protection gap. Three core themes focus on the industry's support for asset management, regulation, and resilient cities.
Insurance Advisory Council
The Insurance Advisory Council is comprised of C-suite executives from across ClimateWise's membership base. It commissions high-impact research that helps regulators to fully understand the nature of climate risks impacting insurance and where insurers can support system-wide responses across the financial markets.
ClimateWise is convened by the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL), which also provides the Secretariat. Decisions and positions of the group do not represent the policies or positions of CISL or of the wider University of Cambridge.
Press Release: ClimateWise CEOs call for more action in building resilience to climate change – 1 October 2015
Article: Action around adaptation

Beyond Carbon: Biodiversity and Water Markets
Ecosystem Marketplace Insights Booklet on biodiversity and water PES markets. This publication is meant to serve as context and provide background for the Katoomba conference: "Avoiding Deforestation in the Amazon through PES Markets" held in Mato Grosso, Brazil in April 2009. Brazil will have to look beyond carbon markets, to water and biodiversity, to ensure the comprehensive maintenance of all its ecosystem services. This compilation of selected articles that introduce the markets, delve into experiences outside of Brazil, and examine developments within the county. We have broken this volume into four parts: the first summarizes key government initiatives in Brazil, and offers a guide to "the Matrix" of PES schemes around the world (Part 1: The Big Picture). The second offers a close examination of regulated biodiversity and water markets in the United States. (Part 2: The State of Play). The third offers a case study of an innovative biodiversity offset project in Malaysia, PES schemes in the Andes, and an examination of the growing acceptance of ecosystem markets at the federal level in the United States (Part 3: Global Developments). The final part examines established water and biodiversity payment programs in Brazil (Part 4: Local Developments). See RELATED ITEMS for Portuguese version.

Lioele Beyond the Solution BB Cream: Creates clear and natural skin tone by being effectively absorbed to skin. You can complete make-up speedily as it does not require any make-up base or foundation. Its bisabolol, licorice acid derivatives, and allantoin component soothe your skin and jojoba oil, macadamia nut oil, hyaluronic acid derivatives, and marine collagen make your skin moisturize and smooth.
Before applying on the Lioele BB Cream.
After applying on the Lioele BB Cream.
I ended up applying a little too thick and had to dab the excess away with a tissue paper, but what I am liking is that my skin looks practically flawless, acne and blemish free with this BB Cream. Although the difference in skin tone on my face and jawline/neck is a little obvious.
VERDICT: By now, I am sure most of you would know that I am on a personal quest for the ultimate BB Cream that actually suits or at least complements my ghostly skin tone. Sure, there will always be hits and misses, but at the same time, I can be glad that there are always sample sachets available that allows you and me to try it before we decide whether to buy it long term or not. And along the way, I did find a lot of hits and also misses. Some never promised anything in particular, but did more than it is supposed to while some promised, but ended up lacking in so many ways.
For today's BB Cream review, I am touching on Lioele's Beyond the Solution BB Cream which I had gotten from doing product swaps with my good friend Irene a few months ago. (I just hope she didn't find my goodies so yummy she nom them instead of using them o.o") This BB Cream sample was one of the goodies I got from her during the swap. And boy, am I glad to see something like these. It means I have yet another choice to judge and gauge if this is going to complement my skin tone or not.
Upon squeezing out the BB Cream from the sachet into a re-usable pot, I immediately saw how liquid-y and smooth this BB Cream is. It practically flowed out of the sachet like those liquid whipping cream that you can buy from the supermarket. So smooth, so liquid-y and gel-based like consistency throughout. And without further ado, I immediately pat some on my skin using a foundation brush instead of my (probably) germ-filled fingers. And the BB Cream glided on smoothly, albeit a little too rich or thick to be fully absorbed into my skin.
Throughout the application, I kept seeing brush strokes on my face and I ended up spreading just 1 brush-ful of BB Cream for almost my entire face. And alas, the brush lines are still visible on my face no matter how I tried and tried. *Gasp!* I ended up using a piece of tissue paper to blot up the excess and only did the brush lines on my face went away evetually, leaving behind a really flawless application of BB Cream on my face.
As you can see on the 2nd last image above, I went from acne and blemish prone to flawless smooth and dewy skin. And the scent? It actually has a baby powder smell to it, as compared to previous BB Creams I've received where it's the typical cosmetic/BB Cream smell. Which was kinda surprising to me too. Wow! BB Cream that smells like baby powder? And besides that, the pores on my nose actually looks smaller upon application. Despite being hard to fully spread onto my face with ease, the BB Cream itself doesn't actually feel heavy on my face at all.
And hours after applying this BB Cream, my face doesn't look too oily and it actually even out my skin tone that is full of blemish scars, making it look so supermodel-like :D Despite it looking almost half to a shade lighter, the difference in skin tone (a.k.a color) between my face and my jawline/neck isn't really that obvious, which I can probably blend onto my jawline and neck area to create a seamless and even complexion. And the final result is a semi-matte look, as opposed to the usual dewy tone for skin that has BB Cream applied on.
WHAT I THINK: Luckily, my pimples have calmed down, which allows this BB Cream to even out my skin tone to the point where my pimples and blemish scars aren't that obvious anymore.
WHERE TO REDEEM SAMPLE: As usual, you can redeem this from The Sample Store, however, be aware that 1-2 items costs S$2.99 in postage fees while 3-4 items cost S$3.99.
Why not like my Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/PuNiaosProductReviews to be informed of latest samples I found, which is duly updated? Also includes updates to contests that I've sourced out for you to join. It will definitely save you the trouble of having to hunt them down :)

In conversation with Isaac John Wesley about his startup journey. It was his urge to solve the pains of unorganized Printing industry with the use of technology that got him started with InkMonk.
Inkmonk is India's first Print Marketplace. Our goal is to streamline the merchandise printing process for businesses and ensure that no one has a bad printing experience ever. Isaac started Inkmonk after his experience in working closely with a couple of iconic startups. He is a man of focus, modesty and has a great sense of clarity.
P.S: The audio volume could be a little low.
"We should be critical about expanding the team (size). I think a small team can still do great wonders, esp in a company focused on technology. We measure the team qualitatively."

N° 27–1993: EURECA retrieval delayed at least two weeks
28 May 1993
Space Shuttle Endeavour, originally scheduled to lift-off on 3 June 1993 and to retrieve the European Space Agency's EURECA satellite on 6 June during the STS-57 mission, will stay on the ground for at least two more weeks to allow for the replacement of a liquid oxygen turbo pump in main engine nr. 2. The pump is suspected to contain a spring that might not be flight-worthy.
Following the successful completion on Monday 24 May of EURECA's transfer to the retrieval altitude of 476 km, the operations of the spacecraft's science and technology payload were resumed in the early morning hours of Tuesday 25 May and will continue until shortly before the retrieval launch.
"EURECA is in a stable orbit and attitude with all subsystems working satisfactorily and is expected to sustain well its extended stay in space. Every effort will be made to maximise the benefit to the science community during this additional period of opportunity" said W. Wimmers, EURECA Flight Operations Director at ESA's Space Operations Centre (ESOC) in Darmstadt, Germany.

I didn't hear any audio. Was that supposed to be a silent movie? It was a kick to watch though.
It is funny to see everybody wearing suits and ties in Miami after dark. You don't see so much of that anymore. Also, there didn't seem to be much automobile traffic.
- alesh Wed Dec 12, 10:56 PM #
I don't hear any auido, either. It's a home movie, which means 8mm film, which means that audio would have been a luxury, so I assume the film was captured without sound.
- Grampa Wed Dec 12, 10:59 PM #
Most of that movie was filmed in Coral Gables and downtown Miami.
- wynwooder Fri Dec 14, 05:27 PM #
killer find, alesh. this is a true time capsule. to have been able to record the audio would have been too much to ask, perhaps.
now, think about it… 50s home flick in color? state of the art technology.

That color was great! The only thing missing was the humidity. And when Wolfie's came into view…
Frankly, I don't think the club kids of today have a clue of what they missed (mind you, I listened to the stories of my grandparents as a kid)

While the living room is the heart of the home, in my home at least, I do believe the soul is found in the more personal spaces - the spaces where you relax, sleep and just generally decompress on the solo. So today, I'm sharing my bedroom and my second bedroom, which I've turned into a dressing room of sorts. Yes, I know it's all rather decadent. In reality, this space started as an office. But, I found I was doing all my writing on the sofa, so I decided to make this space a place where I could either play dress-up on a regular basis and/or sit and read a book.
Oh the importance of redefining a space. And may I just say that designating a space to sit and contemplate your day has completely changed the day from start to finish. Like some character from Hitchcock, I sit in my bay window and watch as the world goes by. Yes, perhaps slightly creepy. Just call me the neighbourhood watch. But, my brain just switches off of high speed mode and takes a left turn into creative consciousness. It's marvelous. Find a space for this in your home...
Now, a little note about the bedroom. Yeah, it's small. It's tiny. There's barely enough room to step out of the bed between the mattress and the wall. But, this is London. What do you expect? Funnily enough, I love the smallness of the room. It's like sleeping in a cubby hole and is incredibly comforting. It's why I chose to make the smaller room the one I slept in. I mean really all you're doing is sleeping in there. So I leave the bigger room for changing, contemplation and creativity. These things need space to breathe, no?!
Enjoy a first look at the new spaces in my life. It's not a permanent home, but it's my home away from home for now!

Violist Anni Rossi returns with 'Heavy Meadow'
One sure sign of spring is all the construction crews sprouting up on the streets. Crews have been working to lay new sidewalks and streets near Chicago bar The Hideout. Inside, classically trained violist Anni Rossi has undergone some reconstruction herself. Her debut Rockwell received a nice response, but then Rossi went through a break-up and moved to a new city. Now she's out with the new album Heavy Meadow. For WBEZ, music reporter Althea Legaspi caught up with Rossi at a recent performance at The Hideout.
"Honestly I think I felt a little oppressed by Chicago in a way," says 26-year old violist Anni Rossi. Rossi's classical music study took her from Minnesota to California. She moved to Chicago four years ago to be with her boyfriend. But her relationship unraveled while she was writing Heavy Meadow. "It's natural for me to be stoic and not express how I'm feeling one way or the other, and so I think I went all out with Heavy Meadow, I found a way to express the deepest darkest frustrations that maybe I've never been able to let out in any other way," she explains. "Some of it was spawned by feeling the oppression of a romantic relationship, but some of it was also I think that I was coping with different things from childhood and teenage years."
Rossi moved to Brooklyn last year and the solo artist added a band. Classically trained since the age of 3, she developed a style that combines traditional forms with a pop sensibility. For this last album, she began to play her viola like a guitar. "I think I had really felt I had kinda exhausted that by the end of my touring cycle for Rockwell and that I wanted just something tactically new and different to carry the melodies of my songs," she says. "And so I think it just naturally fell into this guitar role where I could play chords and play it more like a rhythmic instrument."
This adds an element of surprise live and gives her viola a plinky/brighter tone than a guitar might exhibit. Rossi's novel style is not without its critics, though. "It's obviously meant to be bowed, and play a single line/melody on it. And so I kinda - to get the right chords and the right sound I kinda need to strum it pretty violently, and it just pulls right out of tune very easily because it's not meant to be so aggressively kind of attacked. And I've been criticized by other string players that I don't respect my instrument and I don't– I understand that part of it. There's something that, I mean I have like tape on my instrument and I have zip ties… I should be a little more concerned about preserving the instrument," she acknowledges. "But I think what changed that was I traded in a really expensive instrument for four less expensive instruments. I think having these couple instruments that are kinda beaters, or whatever that you can just do/try new things out with and kinda challenging the function of the instrument and not feel like I was throwing a bunch of money out the window was important."
Mirroring her unusual treatment of her viola, Rossi vocal runs are also distinct. "I always really loved sight singing, and sight singing involves understanding intervals, and you have to identity intervals where you jump a lot. So I think more than anything my ear training and sight singing influenced my vocal style, which is kinda funny that I just realized that out loud now," she says. "But yeah I think also what influenced it was I was the viola was right in my face when I would be writing melodies, I'd be riffing on my viola and trying to sing over it. So I think my voice always wanted to do what my viola was doing and I jump around a lot on the viola so I think that's how my voice ended up getting that jumpy quality."
With a nod to classical forms while simultaneously challenging their constraints, Anni Rossi's new Heavy Meadow constructions are opening her up. "My element of playing and exploration isn't immediately palpable, or it can take a minute to understand just that I'm kinda messing around and playing around with the instrument a little bit. But I don't – at the end of the day I also don't want my work to be all about the viola, it just happens to be how I carry my songs," she explains. "And I think this record just helped me understand that writing songs, and melodies and lyrics are very important to me and help me deal with a lot of things that make me feel bad or make me feel good."
Anni Rossi's sophomore effort, Heavy Meadow, was released this month.

The creators of EVE Online launch a free-to-play first person shooter for the PlayStation 3 – but does it get the best of both worlds?
EVE Online may well go down as one of the most important video games of all time. World Of Warcraft might be the most famous massively multiplayer online game but EVE has by far the most dynamic game world. Set in a sci-fi future amongst the stars the game's players have manipulated, exploited, and irrevocably altered the universe they play in, creating a game that has evolved almost beyond recognition from publisher CCP's original design.
It's a fascinating achievement that would only be more impressive if it wasn't such an absolute chore to play…
Ostensibly a sort of massively multiplayer version of classic space trader Elite, we've always found EVE Online an impossibly dull prospect to actually get involved with. The awkward controls, tedious space combat, and impenetrable tutorials are vastly less interesting than reading stories about how players have ganged together to war against each other or scam CCP.
For that reason we wouldn't dream of describing it as a bad game, not least because of the evidence of millions of happy players. But it is one where the idea of playing it is far more exciting than the reality. Exactly the same can be said about this first person shooter spin-off.
The idea is simple enough: a free-to-play download that supports itself through microtransactions and whose main claim to fame is that it's directly connected to the world of EVE Online – despite being on a completely different format and being a completely different style of game. Success and failure in one game can directly affect the economic and political status of the other, and thus altering the equipment and resources available in each.
Like EVE Online itself Dust 514 is a fearlessly ambitious game that we're shocked to find works on any technical level. The simple problem is though that it's just not a very good shooter, and the compromises that connecting to the parent game bring are just not worth the cost.
For a start controlling your mercenary soldier is like taking control of remote control shop mannequin, as it flails through a swimming pool of extra thick custard. The whole feel of the game is wretched and it's hugely suspicious that the only semi-satisfying way of moving about and aiming is by switching to a mouse and keyboard arrangement (we half suspect this is one of the main reasons the game is a PlayStation 3 exclusive).
There's a small range of character classes to play as but no matter which one you pick, be it trooper, sniper, or medic the initial weapons are pathetically underpowered. Presumably the thinking was that this would encourage you to level up and unlock new weapons – or pay for more microtransactions – but combined with the awful controls and impossibly bland graphics all it does is make one of the worst first impressions we've seen all year.
The thing is we're not even sure this isn't purposeful, given how complex and versatile the skill trees are. They're obviously influenced by EVE Online itself, in that not only do you have to unlock and then buy a new piece of equipment you'll then have to unlock the skill needed to use it, often by unlocking a number of other intermediate but otherwise useless ones.
This becomes more unpalatable when you realise that almost every new weapon and fitting you acquire has a limited time use and if you die too often your new gun or piece of armour has to be paid for, potentially with real money, all over again. As usual free-to-play is anything but.
All of this encourages some blatant level-grinding, where the only chance of getting a hold of decent kit is to put yourself through an endless stream of interminable battles. Battles which, despite all the lofty talk of interconnected worlds, boils down to an ultra-basic team deathmatch mode and Skirmish – an attempted copy of Battlefield's Conquest mode but with less vehicles.
If you become a member of a mercenary group operated by one of EVE Online's corporations you can involve yourself in more meaningful conflicts that can change control of the planet, but such abstract considerations mean little when you're still left playing the same run-of-the-mill shooter.
Ignoring the mercilessly grey colour palette and equally boring art design, the game is a technical mess with frame rate problems, object and texture pop-in, and a multitude of bugs and glitches of every level of severity.
As with any online game the perfectly fair counter is that the game may be refined and improved over time, and given the admirable way CCP has supported EVE Online over the years we'd expect nothing less for Dust 514. But we don't have a time machine so we can't tell what the game is going to look or play like in a couple of years from now.
What we can say though is that at the moment it's an ugly, generic, poorly balanced, and quickly tedious first person shooter. We're still strangely fascinated by it all though and we look forward to seeing what both CCP and their fans will turn it into in the future.
In Short: A very poor first person shooter buoyed up by the promise of things to come, and an impressively ambitious attempt at a cross-format connected universe.
Pros: The concept is great and the free-to-play nature means it's easy enough to try it out for yourself. There are already signs of a strong and dedicated community.
Cons: As a first person shooter it's extremely weak, with stodgy controls, bland weapons, dull art design, and half-broken graphics. Skill trees are too complex for their own good. Too few match types.

The Key Stage 2 Framework for Languages (DFES 2005)
" Learning a language enriches the curriculum. It provides excitement, enjoyment and challenge for children and teachers, helping to create enthusiastic learners and to develop positive attitudes to language learning throughout life. The natural links between languages and other areas of the curriculum can enhance the overall teaching and learning experience. The skills, knowledge and understanding gained can make a major contribution to the development of children's oracy and literacy and to their understanding of their own culture/s and those of others."

Under New Jersey's gun control laws, children – and adults alike – could face steep penalties for illegally owning BB guns, which according to the Graves Act, makes little distinction between the childhood classic rite of passage and illegal big boy weapons like machine guns and sawed-off shotguns.
As reported by Fox News last month, various states across the country have different laws when it comes to airsoft or BB guns, but New Jersey by far has the strictest regulations. Violating the act, which includes mandatory registration and permits to purchase BB guns, can produce a minimum three-year jail sentence and hefty fines.
In fact, 22-year-old Idyriss Thomas was arrested in October after police received several reports of a man brandishing a firearm. As it turned out, Thomas was simply shooting a rubber ducky with an airsoft gun for target practics in the back yard of his Glassboro, New Jersey, home.
When officers responded to the calls, they determined that the airsoft gun was unlicensed. Thomas was arrested and charged with unlawful possession of a weapon.
"I didn't realize that what I had in my hand would cause the events that happened today," Thomas told local reporters after the incident. "I had the airsoft gun in my hand, playing with it, taking shots at a rubber ducky – not harming anybody."
But it's not just adults shooting rubber duckies in the backyard for target practice that are being affected by the tough laws.
"In all honesty, kids who are charged are looking at mandatory jail time," said New Jersey attorney William Proetta, adding that a conviction could lead to prison time.
However, judges have the authority to issue waivers or even downgrade charges that fall under the Graves Act if such charges are brought through their courts, but they aren't required to do either and, depending on the county, often don't.
"The only defense is to request a waiver but if that's not granted, young kids can get a felony charge and their lives are basically over," Proetta added.
Joe Murfin, spokesman for Daisy, makers of the classic Red Ryder BB gun, said that while the company doesn't agree with the opinion, they will still respect and attempt to uphold individual state laws.
"In our opinion and the federal government's, our products are not firearms as there is no combustion in the chamber," Murfin said. "While we disagree, we respect a state's law for whatever reason they may have one."
According to the Gun Control Act of 1968, 18 U.S.C. Section 921(a)(3), a "firearm" is defined as "(A) any weapon (including a starter gun) which will or is designed to or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive; (B) the frame or receiver of any such weapon."
Even the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives makes a distinction between airsoft, BB guns and their big boy counterparts. According to the ATF website, "air guns, because they use compressed air and not an explosive to expel a projectile, do not constitute firearms under Federal law."
Yet still, regardless of the federal firearm definition, the state of New Jersey sees no difference and lumps the classic childhood toy with laws regulating machine guns and sawed-off shotguns, which obviously are very different.

has nothing on Har Mar Superstar. The R&B singer andRon Jeremy lookalike
has worked the pink-manties look for the better part of this decade. He is, after all, a self-styled lover. Fresh off his cameo as a rival roller derby coach inWhip It
(and his excellent cover of"Never My Love"
on the film's soundtrack), Har Mar, as we like to call him, will spend Saturday night in Houston, playingSuper Happy Fun Land
with Ghost Mountain, Components of the Modern Age and My Jerusalem. Har Mar is the second iteration of Sean Tillman, who fronts the decidedly more indie band Sean Na Na. Har Mar lies on the other side of the spectrum. His latest album,Dark Touches
, is Kanye-esque in its reliance on Auto-tune. The single"DUI"
is oddly reminiscent of Miley Cyrus' "Party in the USA." That he performs what sounds ostensibly like serious-minded R&B and dance pop in nothing more than American Apparel underwear makes him seem like an inside joke. Until you learn that he's collaborated with Karen O, members of the Strokes and Jennifer Lopez. Rocks Off might be going crazy, but we just listened to "DUI" for the millionth time, and it's starting to grow on us. Like gem sweater girl-turned Midwestern rapper

, Tillman has been able to morph his alter ego into something decidedly legitimate (depending on what story you believe. Tillman originally claimed Har Mar was his "twin" Harold Tillman. Sean also has a "brother"tweeting on his behalf
). But where Leslie Hall's songs and shows have an ironic, nerdy, genuinely clever edge to them, something about Har Mar Superstar seems too earnest, as if he's begging to be taken seriously.

Rita Ackermann (b. 1968, Budapest) is a Hungarian-American painter renowned for subject matter that challenges and liberates traditional depictions of the female body and archetypes in figurative painting. Ackermann draws inspiration from literature, film, and philosophy to create a diverse body of work that speaks much of her perspective and experience of a young European artist submerged in American culture. She primarily works in large-scale, ferocious multi-media abstractions, with paint smeared, sprayed, stained, splattered alongside and over-sexualized depictions of cat-eyed, feral pubescent figures, a recurring image in her paintings. Illustrative and on first glance forcefully careless, her paintings create a messy and unstable fray of energetic, convulsing feminine iconography.
African Nursedebuted at Ackermann's solo exhibition, "Don't Give Me Salad (Nurses)" at Andrea Rosen Gallery in New York in 2008. The show read as a reference to Richard Prince's over-hyped series "Nurses" and introduced an army of womanly subjects that both challenged Prince's overtly seductive and fetishized representation of the female nurse and overturned traditional perceptions of the nature and function of the woman, as both professional caregiver and mother figure. In African Nurse, the figure simultaneously occupies a duality of nurse representations and female tropes: otherworldly and one with nature, provocative child bearer and delicate nymph. In her bareness lies a seductive quality; yet her wide-set eyes and fleshy neon yellow skin create a deformed alien-like appearance that is mythical, vulgar and grotesque. Her limbs seem to embody a plant-like appearance that suggests a personification of Mother Nature, while her slumped body caressing an ambiguous object alludes to her function as a nurturer.
For many of her paintings, including African Nurse, Ackermann's technique and approach to painting would involve her sprawled across an unstretched canvas on the floor, using her hands to drip and scratch paint. Her use of gestural force with the material allows for stylistic uninhibitedness in her pursuit of a narrative and figurative depiction that collides with affective charge and frenzied abstraction.
African Nurse was included in "Rita Ackermann," a major survey exhibition on the artist's life and work at MOCA North Miami (March 15 – May 6, 2012). Ackermann has exhibited internationally at major institutions including the New Museum, New York; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Kunsthalle Wien, Vienna; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; Kunsthalle Zurich; Zurich; Whitney Museum of Art, New York; and Museum Ludwig, Cologne; among others.
Ackermann currently lives and works in New York.

December 10, 2014—Mountain View, Calif.—BlueJeans Network, the global leader in cloud-based video meeting services, today unveiled BlueJeans Primetime, a new interactive online town hall events service that connects thousands of participants through large-scale webcasting. BlueJeans Primetime is the only large town hall and all hands platform that gives multiple presenters the power to engage with thousands of viewers, and promote any of these viewers to active participants with real time live streaming.
"The way webinars and webcasts are done today, you have a massive barrier separating viewers and presenters, making the thousands of people who aren't part of the conversation essentially invisible," said Stu Aaron, CCO at BlueJeans Network. "When we met with our customers, we saw so many situations where executives, educators, media companies, and so many others wanted to interact with their audiences in an easy, organized, and controlled fashion, but were frustrated with the one-way nature of live streaming technology. We saw an opportunity to redefine a market and provide the easy, open, interactive experience that BlueJeans is known for, in a service designed for large-scale events."
BlueJeans Primetime augments the flagship, Blue Jeans cloud-based video collaboration service, with new streaming capabilities to broadcast events to a worldwide audience, plus a unique ability for the moderator to switch participant roles between active participant, and passive observer, making it possible for speakers and their audiences to interact in brand new ways.
A cross section of Blue Jeans customers in Business, Education, Technology, Media & Entertainment, Gaming, and more, have already embraced the potential for this new service as an extension of their overall events strategy.
Blue Jeans Primetime has been in trials since early September with more than 20 customers, including RedHat, Wikia, and the Wharton School of Business, among others.
In 2015 TEDx will be leveraging Blue Jeans Primetime to connect organizers around the world, making it possible for their global community to meet face-to-face in large groups like never before. Additionally, they will be integrating it into their official knowledge sharing initiatives, which kick off in 2015.
"With over 3,000 yearly events spread across 165 countries, we have TEDx organizers in every corner of the globe. Online video is the perfect way for us to connect, and this tool's interactivity is making it possible for us to do this in large groups like never before," said Alex Rudloff, Chief Digital Strategist for TEDx. "We're excited about deploying the Blue Jeans Primetime product to keep our TEDx organizers better connected."
Sundance Institute will be developing ways to collaborate and utilize the Blue Jeans platform during Sundance Film Festival to create events that connect audiences to Festival filmmakers.
Sundance Institute Associate Director of Technology Services, Justin Simmons said "We want to create unique experiences for our community that are not able to make it to Utah for the Sundance Film Festival. This new Blue Jeans technology provides a platform to invite remote attendees into thought-provoking conversations in new and more interactive ways."
Several new capabilities make the Blue Jeans Primetime service ideally suited to support large- scale, interactive events:
Blue Jeans Primetime is actively being tested by customers in limited availability, and will be generally available in Q1 of 2015. To learn more, visit: bluejeans.com/primetime.

Eight Forty-Eight
State commission slams juvenile justice system
A new report is shining light on a part of the juvenile justice system that has never been subject to public review: Parole board hearings.
"An essential measurement of any juvenile 'reentry' system is whether youth returning from incarceration remain safe and successful within their communities," the report finds. "By this fundamental measure, Illinois is failing."
Those are the first lines from a report that is highly critical of the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice. The report is the work of the Illinois Juvenile Justice Commission, a state advisory group.
Kids sent to prison don't go for a set amount of time because the idea is that they'll be released once they're rehabilitated. One of the only ways they can get out is by winning parole. But those hearings are riddled with problems, according to the commission.
Commissioners sat in on 230 review board hearings, which outsiders have typically not been allowed to observe. They say kids who are denied parole are rarely told why. In one instance the hearing officer told a youth to sign a blank form stating that they understood the decision of the board, even though the hearing hadn't started yet and no decision had been reached.
Things like that make it hard for the kids to reform their behavior for the next hearing, and ultimately result in more kids being incarcerated at the cost of $87,000 per year.
Commissioners, including the director of the Department of Juvenile Justice, Arthur Bishop, will be talking about the report Tuesday. Bishop is a member of the commission that is releasing the report that is so critical of his own department.
You can hear WBEZ's Robert Wildeboer discuss the report with the commission's chairman, retired Judge George Timberlake.
