ACCEPTABILITY OF Investment Consequences
Capital Penalties certainly is the wiping out of the individual that may be certified by law, as consequences for your person's will serve or omissions which amount to a breach of illegal laws. Perceived as a 'fancy phrase' for within the law eradicating folks, funding penalty is essentially the imposition of your passing sentence upon finding that somebody has fully commited a given offence.thesis writer This pieces of paper examines the general trends in acceptability of investment consequences throughout background considering its enforcement seeing that beginning societies until such time as contemporary societies. In connection with this, it also examines justifications for and versus the imposition of money consequence and wraps up through an research into the modern-day location on imposition from the passing charge. The imposition of cash discipline has its own roots in early societies around the world. One example is, the Program code of Hammurabi included around twenty your five offences in which the passing away charge was inflicted. It was subsequently most common within the Greek Draconian Regulations in the seventh century BC just where perhaps the most benign and pettiest criminal activity were being punishable by dying. During this period, this particular type of penalty was quite often arbitrary, challenging and really inhumane. The middle ages phase found the on going enforcement in the charges in various develops additionally it had not been up until the enlightenment time frame that singing opposition to your demise charge was created. The Italian traditional theorist Cesare Beccaria in On Crime and Penalties (1764) named for those abolition from the passing away penalty on reasons that ever since fella failed to include the opportunity to set up a lifetime, he received no ability to eliminate just one. This supplied a paradigm shift coming from the entrenched opinion of funds punishment then where it absolutely was deemed just for males to pass away for his criminal offense, and set the phase for your abolitionist and retentionist argument on investment capital penalties that rages on in today's world.
Principal misunderstandings for any preservation of money consequence incorporate that this ensured closing in the sufferers and survivors given that it creates feelings of revenge and retribution which that it was a great deterrent estimate. Beccaria vehemently opposed the concept the dying fee as a good deterrent gauge and in its place stated that funding consequence was bad for culture because it diminished the society's sensitivity to man enduring. Quite the opposite, Stuart Mill, a further classical philosopher, in service of money punishment suggested that this was extra gentle than imprisonment understanding that it considerably improved society because of its deterrence importance. This discussion has characterized the path of heritage with numerous justifications remaining complex by both sides. Disputes for funds consequences are premised on justifications these types of because it is permanently incapacitating hence a 1 avoid approach to repeated criminal activity; it gives you closing to patients and instills a feeling of proper rights; this is basically the only acceptable make use of severe offences such as murder and treason; and that it is the most suitable caution to would be bad guys. Disagreements up against the dying penalty quite often demand which it lacks any deterrence value due to the fact criminal activity remain remaining determined in spite of the perception of the effects; that it wholly restrictions out the possibility of an offender's rehabilitation; that it must be a vicious and out of the ordinary type of penalty simply because it deprives individuals away from existence; and that permanent issues including undertaking innocent most people may very well be made. Still, regardless of what part within the break down one particular belongs to, Huck Beh argues that during the period of record three patterns in investment capital punishment are recognizable. Very first, we have seen a extraordinary getting smaller in the criminal offenses which can be punishable by passing; second, there were tries to lower the cruelty in the ways of rendering from the fees; and thirdly, a 'fair and rational' solution to imposition of funding punishment has actually been adopted.
The arrival for the international our legal rights program has received a tremendous effect on the investment abuse debate. The guarantee for any models ability to lifespan, liberty and security measures of the individual together with the prohibition from torture and various vicious, inhuman or degrading treatment solution or abuse by world wide and local human being proper rights law solutions, joined with the adoption of similar conditions in different constitutional contexts world wide appear to present a simple yet effective noose about the throat within the fatality fee. Nonetheless, owing to the character of common global legal system, right after in which the world-wide man rights legislation is premised, every Condition, in work out from the sovereignty, comes with the prescriptive authority in just its territory. Provision for money penalty comes in this particular jurisdiction thus while a few claims have correctly abolished funding consequence, some also impose it, although some nonetheless hold on to it into their textbooks as a kind of abuse but have not forced it in a very long time. To conclude, it may seem the fact that the pattern in mindset when it comes to capital consequences is abolitionist. Even so, owing to natural architectural disadvantages after only contemporary 100 % legal frameworks, the dying punishment is still enforced in certain jurisdictions. Probably the means to fix this quagmire may be to implement Beccaria's placement that capital abuse is only able to be justifiable anytime a someone happens to be deprived off his liberty yet still he nevertheless possesses a lot of force and connections to put at risk the security in the land and this is required to be only if the nation is the verge of recouping or giving up its liberty, or, in times of complete anarchy.

Two of my oldest friends, Laura and Christine, and I went away for a girls' night to Palm Springs yesterday. Being that the three of us met our freshman year at San Diego State it is fair to say that we've seen each other through a lot of different phases in our lives (happy, sad, stupid, smart, sober, drunk … and everything in between).
Christine is married with a 22-month-old daughter, I'm married with two dogs, and Laura is dating. These variations in our lives don't make a bit of difference. We all get along as well as we did when we first met eleven years ago.
I've racked up major Hilton points so we got a "comped" room at the Palm Springs Hilton for the night. When I arrived, Laura and Christine had been at the pool for about two hours already – cocktails in tow. Still being as cheap as I was in college, we brought our own liquor and mixed drinks in our room. We stayed at the pool for another two or three hours, making friends with the other vacationers and college kids there on spring break.
Around 5, we head up to the room to prep for dinner. More cocktails, a shower and some war paint, and we were off to Las Consuelas for some Mexican food. Dinner ends, we come back to our room; call the husbands and then – bed. Yep. Bed at 8:45 p.m. Such wild women.
Christine – forever the degenerate gambler of the group – is up at 7:30 a.m. and off to the casino across the street for some black jack, where she hustles and gets us three free breakfast buffets. Laura and I roll over at 9, pig out and then leave Christine for more gaming. I am on the road by 10:45 to head home and Laura goes back to bed.
We are a mere shadow of the women we were when we first met, but we get along just the same. Old friends never change. And while what we consider a good time changes a bit, it is still just as fun.

Are Personal Beliefs Ruining Healthcare?
John Rossheim | Monster Senior Contributing Writer
An EMT instructed to transport a woman to an abortion clinic declines, citing personal beliefs. A nurse ordered to administer a large dose of morphine to a terminal cancer patient in pain refuses, saying the medication could hasten death. A physician turns away a gay patient, apparently on the basis of his sexual orientation.
Are these scenarios examples of healthcare workers asserting their right of individual conscience, or are they unethical, perhaps illicit denials of patients' rights to receive medically appropriate treatments?
This question is at the center of a simmering debate that is moving beyond pharmacists who refuse to dispense contraceptives to other hot-button issues, such as in vitro fertilization, physician-assisted suicide and stem-cell research, affecting a wide variety of specialties in healthcare. Although there's no reliable statistical evidence that more US healthcare workers are refusing to treat on moral grounds, anecdotal evidence indicates the phenomenon is growing. A variety of bills and laws, mainly on the state level, either grant or deny healthcare workers the right to refuse treatment.
Poll: Have you ever had a formal complaint filed against you?
Poll: Have you ever had a formal complaint filed against you?
Healthcare Workers' Conscience vs. Patients' Rights
The disagreement is deeply entrenched.
"This is a conflict of the constitutionally based right of conscience and the patient's right of convenience," says Dr. David Stevens, executive director of the Christian Medical & Dental Associations.
Others say healthcare workers who refuse to provide treatment are breaching their professional duty to put the patient first.
Present and future healthcare workers need to know that these legal, ethical and ideological battles threaten to alter professional relationships and change career arcs.

Query Point Movement Techniques for Content-Based Image Retrieval
Reference work entry
First Online:
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-8265-9_295
Target search in content-based image retrieval (CBIR) systems refers to finding a specific (target) image such as a particular registered logo or a specific historical photograph. To search for such an image, query point movement techniques iteratively move the query point closer to the target image for each round of the user's relevance feedback until the target image is found. The goals of query point movement techniques include avoiding local maximum traps, achieving fast convergence, reducing computation overhead, and guaranteeing to find the target.
Historical Background
Images in a database are characterized by their visual features, and represented as points in a multidimensional feature space. A query point is one of these image points, selected to find similar images represented by image points nearest to the query point in the feature space. This cluster of nearby or relevant image points has a shape (see Figs. 1 and 2) referred to as the query shape.

Namibia's first robot school to open in June
Staff Reporter Windhoek-In an exciting move by dynamic local duo, Bjorn and Kirstin Wiedow of FABlab fame, a new and inventive school will launch in Windhoek in June 2018, aptly dubbed ROBOTSCHOOL – 'the robotics hardware and software school for kids of the future'. Technology is no doubt building the future as we all witness explosions of it in our everyday lives; from the fast evolving of the brick phone to the super sleek iPhone and now tablets and even locally designed small form factor computers like the inspirational PEBL from local innovator Vincent van Wyk, we are dependent on it to survive. According to the World Economic Forum, over half of the world's young people will end up in jobs that haven't been created yet. Considering the current curriculum that children between the ages of 6 and 13 are learning, it is worth noting that this curriculum was developed years ago and in parallel the digital era and Fourth Industrial Revolution are changing everything around us daily – these two need to go hand-in-hand if we are to learn the skills we need today, sadly this is not the case for many countries. Preparing the youth to be an actively contributing generation requires investment in new educational content such as robotics. "Building a foundation in the fundamentals of the Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (STEAM) fields is the basis every child needs; we believe that kids as young as 6 years old should have access to a creative and engaging environment where they can learn about the inner workings of the tools they are so accustomed to and use through every touchpoint of their lives; applying critical thinking and, thereby, becoming the problem-solvers of tomorrows glitches" said co-founder Wiedow. In an analysis by the Programme for International Student Assessments on the best performing countries in which children "are best at collaborative problem-solving1", Asia is in the lead with Singapore taking the number one spot followed closely by Japan and South Korea. The local team have strategically partnered with one of Japan's most promising young start-ups to bring a phenomenal curriculum to the country which has a duration of 5 years. "Learners start with the basics and progress to Python and high-level programming applied to robotics when they enter their final year before graduating with a Master Certificate at the young age of 13" explained Wiedow. The founding ROBOTSCHOOL instructor is Deborah Ajibola, a NUST Software Engineering honours degree student who has been running robotics classes with the FABlab over the past year and the school is set to officially launch in June 2018.

Buick Convertible Tops and Convertible Top Parts
We can supply Buick convertible tops for all Buick models from the thirties through the nineties Buick Reatta convertibles. Our convertible top replacements conform to original Buick patterns on which they are all based.
For the do-it-yourself Buick convertible restorer we offer the manual on removing and replacing classic two part tops. All Buick convertible tops were designed in this mode. The manual is listed with each car and can be purchased in advance of your top if you wish to evaluate self installation.
Buick Top PartsAccessories for Buick convertible tops include hold down cables, top pads, well liners, tacking strips and boots. We offer special pricing for the complete top restorer on packages which include the Buick top, hold down cables, pads and tacking strips.
Please select your Buick convertible from the list at the right. You will be linked to full information on your car.
Hydraulics: We now stock hydraulic cylinders, motor-pumps, and hoses for your convertible tops. All are made to OEM specifications. Each can be ordered separately; however, when ordering hydraulic cylinders we recommend replacing both. The chances are that both hydraulic cylinders were manufactured at the same time: if one is on its way out the other may follow. If the top is raised and one hydraulic cylinder is working harder than the other the result over time can lead to a slightly bent convertible top frame. The replacement of both hydraulic cylinders will ensure that the top raises and lowers symmetrically. Systems for this car take Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) and have a 5 year warranty when used with this fluid. Brake fluid should not be used as it voids the warranty. We also offer an installation manual when ordered. The 12 volt motor-pumps include a mounting bracket with rubber grommets to reduce vibration. We also offer a rebuilding service for motor-pumps. Not all are repairable, but it is less expensive to have one rebuilt than to buy a new one. The motor-pump would need to be sent to us for evaluation. Hoses come with all new fittings and are made specifically to fit your car.
Do-it-yourselfers: Read a summary of convertible top installation.
Buick Convertible Tops and Convertible Top Parts available for years 1937, 1938, 1942, 1943, 1944, 1945, 1946, 1947, 1948, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1954, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1990, 1991 and 1992

Yes, I know. Bastardizing Shakespeare is a poor man's wit. Or maybe that was something about Shakespearean punneries. But the question still stands.
We are only ten days into 2015, and I have read post after post about what a crock New Year's Resolutions are, while the other side is posting promise after promise. Even Forbes had a list of resolutions that will change your life FOREVER! And it leaves a girl wondering what to do.
Resolutions are supposed to be positive affirmations we pledge to ourselves, the universe, God, the dark forces, whatever gets us going. Most people know that they are not going to follow through when they just tell themselves in the dark corners of their mind on New Year's Day, so they have traditions to make these affirmations more real and boast about them in person and online in the hopes that others will make them more accountable than their own willpower can deliver. And thus are most gyms filled to capacity in January.
And back to business as usual by March. Sigh. So do they work at all?
To decide, I go as my mother has taught me to my elders for guidance. The man of writing and wit himself, Oscar Wilde has a strong opinion on the matter. He said, "Good resolutions are useless attempts to interfere with scientific laws. Their origin is pure vanity. Their result is absolutely nil. They give us, now and then, some of those luxurious sterile emotions that have a certain charm for the weak…. They are simply cheques that men draw on a bank where they have no account."
Well, there you go. Wilde has spoken, the answer given. Case Closed. End of post. Break the set and see you at the afterparty, folks.
But only a fool would ignore their own experiences in life for the comfort of words from a source who's never walked a day in their shoes. Crap, okay, time to examine.
Last Year's Resolutions:
Become healthier & stick with the gym. Result: I have become a regular at the gym so much so that people I still don't know the name of comment on my progress. I have also lost over 10% body fat.
Finish my current crafting projects & learn a new craft. Result: I am current on my cross-stitching projects from last year and I've learned to crochet. Working on my first blanket.
Check off something from my bucket list: I flew a plane for the first time.
Make significant progress professionally on my writing. Result: OF SCIONS AND MEN was completed, revised from BETA readers, and completed fully. More on this on another post.
Action speaks louder than words. (Sorry, Mr. Wilde. I still love you.) Yes, resolutions can make a difference. I felt each of these check marks, and they drove me to do even more than I set out to do. So I'm a girl convinced and will dedicate myself even more this year.

Libraries Transform Cookbooks

In certain countries in far away Asia, the weather is either hot or cold, wet or dry, sunny or cloudy. But some geographical pockets across the globe are not content to describe weather conditions in such minimalist fashion. They have sophisticated tools to predict the weather, measure the elements, and pay attention to the finer details that would normally bore an individual who lives in a place where weather talk is worse than small talk.
What's the weather like in Burbank? At least, Burbank has not figured in wide media coverage due to a hurricane or a forest fire. Thank goodness. It does not mean, however, that it does not get its share of weather watch alerts.
Average Weather
Take today, for instance (I am writing this in Winter!). We spotted this online alert for Burbank a few minutes ago, courtesy of the government weather web site of Pendleton:
•A freeze warning in effect from 10 tonight until 10 am tomorrow, Monday,
•Wind advisory is also in effect until 9:00 tonight,
•Windy conditions will prevail, owing to a cold front that will be passing the area today, carrying northwest winds of 30 to 40 miles per hour with gusts of 50 to 55 miles per hour in lower areas of the Columbia basin,
•Conclusion: driving may be difficult especially for high profile vehicles
What in heaven's name are high profile vehicles, anyway? And what's this business about particulates?
Weather Advisories
There's absolutely nothing to worry about. Burbank won't be in the news tomorrow just because of these advisories. In fact, at the end of the warning, they simply encouraged residents to bring potted plants indoors or at least cover them, which is typical this time of the year. The possibility of a human being getting frostbite and frozen toes and fingers is as remote as flying saucers.
We have yet to hear about weather dramatics in Burbank, and like the lay of the land, the weather is friendly, harmless and at times playful. That playfulness is demonstrated by the continuing presence of gusty winds. If you take this week's forecast, for example, you'll realize that there may be some blowing dust, a lot of sun on Monday with highs of 43 to 48. They're predicting more sun on Tuesday but cloudy and a chance of rain the rest of the week.
Now about those particulates – these are merely fine particles that are suspended in the atmosphere and are minuscule in size. They occur in windy places, the winds carrying fine particles of dust. Burbank has these, and the city's Ecology Department is well-equipped to monitor them. Particulates, in the world of meteorology, are expressed by the acronym PM. Sources include wind-blown dust, volcanoes and forest fires.
Weather Basics
Back to weather basics – the average temperature in Burbank, Washington ranges from 30 degrees Fahrenheit in January and climbing steadily throughout the first half of the year, peaking at around 70-75 degrees Fahrenheit in July, and then decreasing gradually for the second half of the year. There are no drastic fluctuations in precipitation throughout the year, and compared to the US average, Burbank's precipitation is fairly low, with 1 inch during the cooler months (US average 3 inches) and lowest in July ranging from zero to 1 inch (US average 3.5 to 3.8 inches).
As for snow conditions, Burbank registers about 6 to 7 inches of snow during December, January and tapers off beginning February.
All in all, it's a city where the weather won't make you cower in fear!

It is no surprise that, throughout history, political campaigns have drastically changed. At one time the new technology was considered the use of radios, now days it's the use of mobile apps and big data.
Today, the use of data is used to help connect politicians to potential voters who will show support for their platform. These Democratic campaigns are often operated by NGP VAN. NGP VAN is a voter database and web-hosting company that helps Democratic candidates run effective and, therefore successful campaigns.
As technological advancements are constantly being made, it is critical that politicians keep up with and use the new technology available to aid in their success. Barack Obama was elected President in 2008 by successfully using the internet, technology and a web-based platform for his campaign. One might think that Obama used the same campaign strategy he used in 2008 to get re-elected in 2012, but that couldn't be further from the truth. With the continued advancement of technology, in just 4 years' time, his strategy had to morph. For example, because of technology that wasn't available in 2008, during Obama's 2012 campaign, with the help of NGP VAN, he created and used Pollwatcher, a mobile app that helps voters the information they need to get out to vote.
In order for a politician to successfully use the advancements of web-based technology, it is crucial that they have a computer programming expert on their team. For websites and applications to be productive in a campaign, they have to ensure security and that they are simple to use. NGP VAN helps Democratic politicians achieve all of these goals.
The use of NGP VAN can be used in a number of different ways that can help candidates run a technology-based campaign in a faster and more efficient way. First, it can easily and quickly evaluate data, ensuring that a campaign is proceeding at a good rate. Second, the program offers a quick and easy platform for donations to be made. After the donations are made the information provided by the donor is kept track of. This tracking system has two major benefits, first, allows the campaign to further collect and use data, and second, it allows the campaign to easily file their records with the FEC. Third, NGP VAN offers the Distributed Canvassing tool which makes door-to-door canvassing easier, more effective, and more efficient.

All for Maddie by Jettie Woodruff
I believe in love at first sight... because I am a mother.
Living a complete lie, holding on to a secret that could cost me the most important thing in my life was about to surface.
I couldn't breathe without Maddie. Maddie was my life. The saying about dying for your child is the absolute truth. The other things you would do are comparable to that of death. I know, I did those things.
I did unthinkable things, all for Maddie.
I continued the lie, the secrets with the one man who had no right. People say you always have options. That's a lie. I had no choice. I did it all for her... for my Maddie.
Adult content...Sex /adult language.
Finally!! Thank you for getting me out of my book funk and giving me a 5 star book!!
This book will play on your emotions, fuck with your head and pull on your heart strings, to say I was all over the place reading this is an understatement!! And that there is why this book gets my 5 stars!!
Sitting there and reading this it felt like all my emotions had been put through the wringer and spat out, times where I was fed up with Whitley and just wanted to shake her, then we have the pleasure of meeting Alex Wesson or not so much pleasure at the beginning and this here is what became my mind fuck!!
What he did to her was despicable, (won't say the names I called him, but you get my drift) then the controlling games he played made my blood boil, and this is where my mind fuckery came into play because towards the end without me realizing it I started liking the bugga!!
So all I can say to everyone keep an open mind whilst reading this!!
I want to say so much more but will wait until we're closure to release date and I will add to my review as I don't want to give too much away..
I just hope you love this book as much as I did!!

Bembridge RNLI assists 80 year old skipper following Pan Pan call
Following a pan pan urgency call, Bembridge RNLI's all-weather Tamar class lifeboat 'Alfred Albert Williams' was launched at around 3.30pm on Tuesday (10 October) to locate and assist a 7m Virgo Voyager sailing yacht with one person on board.
The yacht's engine was not working and the vessel was in difficulty 5nm south of St Catherine's Point, having set out the previous day from Cherbourg on route for Christchurch.
Having reached the yacht at 4.30pm and having ascertained that the owner was an elderly man and that the engine was not going to be repairable, a member of the lifeboat crew was transferred to the yacht using the inflatable Y boat to help secure the tow.
Sea and tidal conditions were such that initially the tow to Portsmouth was very slow with the Alfred Albert Williams averaging only 3.5 knots until past Ventnor when she was able to increase to 5.5 knots. Having berthed the yacht safely in Haslar Marina at 10.20pm, the Alfred Albert Williams returned to Bembridge and was recovered by 11.15pm.
Coxswain Steve Simmonds said: 'it was pretty rough off St Catherine's Point and the tide was against us so the first hour of the tow was very slow. We were delighted that we were able to get the elderly skipper and what turned out to be his 'home' safely to Portsmouth.'
Note to Editors: A pan pan call signifies there is an urgency on board a boat or ship but there is no immediate danger to anyone's life or the vessel itself, unlike a mayday call which indicates imminent danger.

- Name: Aggie
- Specialty: Explosives Detection
- Breed: Labrador Retriever
- Color: Yellow
- Sex: Female
- Weight: 54 pounds
- Birthday: April 25, 2011
- Training: ATF National Canine Center, Front Royal, VA
- Handler: Special Agent Canine Handler Terry Besta
- Location: Phoenix Field Division
Aggie is an Explosives Detection Canine (EDC) currently stationed in Phoenix. Aggie's primary mission is to serve the people of Arizona and New Mexico by assisting ATF special agents in locating evidence for federal firearm and explosives investigations. Aggie also assists state and local law enforcement agencies by searching for evidence and securing venues with her handler.
ATF and the Phoenix Police Department Gang Unit recently executed multiple search warrants in their investigation of a local street gang. The agents/officers conducted a search of the residence and the vehicle belonging to the gang's leader, who was known to carry a firearm when selling drugs from his vehicle. No firearms were found during the initial search. SACH Terry Besta and K-9 Aggie were deployed to search the leader's vehicle and during the search of the interior, Aggie alerted to the presence of an explosive odor near the steering wheel, behind the dash. A hand search by agents located a 9 mm pistol secreted behind the dash.
K-9 Aggie was born in Patterson, N.Y., at the Guiding Eyes for The Blind breeding facility. She has five siblings who serve as guide dogs. Aggie was recruited from the Guiding Eyes for The Blind program on Dec. 12, 2012, when she began training for her current role as an ATF EDC. When not working, Aggie enjoys spending time at home with her two playmates, Jake and Jessie, also Labrador retrievers.

Really, the one thing I though when I was deciding how to decorate my t-shirt, was that I wanted it to be wearable. I had some scraps of very expensive fabric, where flowers were appliquéd and embroidered on to corduroy. I first of all embroidered some vines on the t-shirt - I used Stitch and Tear to stabilise it - and then applied the cut out flowers. I was pleased with the result and wore it today when we had some friends for lunch.
Christopher had to take about ten photographs before he got one that was half way reasonable - of me that is, the t-shirt looked fine every time!
I'm now planning to make another one for Christmas.

In the late 80s and early 90s, PETA and other animal rights groups put so much pressure on cosmetic companies to stop testing their products on animals, that there was a bit of a break. That's not to say that they all totally stopped, but there was a drastic reduction. For big companies like Estee Lauder, Avon, and Mary Kay they were "cruelty-free" for more than 20 years, but that is no longer the case.
Sadly, those companies have resumed testing on animals so that they can sell their products in China. Because, if you want to sell your products in China, the government (and China isn't alone) requires and carries out, the testing. And of course they want to sell in China; they are one of the largest markets in the world, accounting for one fifth of global value growth in the market.
And let's be clear about the testing done to them. Some of the tests for sensitivity involve smearing various chemicals into the eyes of rabbits. This makes me sick to even type but rabbits are a favorite for this type of test because they don't have tear ducts and the products do not wash out. Even if the animals do survive the testing, they are almost always euthanized at the end. That's not a life. Imagine, only being born so that someone can smear chemicals that make up some new red lipstick, into your eyes. Animals feel pain. It's intolerably cruel.
We hope that if you feel moved to do so, that you will not only contact the customer relations departments of these companies and let your feelings be known, but that until they do stop this horrific practice, that you'll boycott their brands as well. But remember, Estee Lauder, for instance, isn't just selling products under that name, their group also includes: Aramis, Clinique, Origins, Le Labo, M.A.C, Bobbi Brown, La Mer and Aveda. They are also the global licensee for fragrances and/or cosmetics sold under brand like Tommy Hilfiger, Donna Karan, Michael Kors, Tom Ford and Coach.
All my Health Nuts know the power in just one voice. So again, if you feel passionate about this topic, put your wallet where your heart is and spend your money on products from companies who don't test on animals. To help you do that, PETA's got a full list of companies who DO NOT TEST on animals.

Premier is pleased to announce that the Kuda Laut-1 well in Tuna PSC (Premier operator, 65 per cent) offshore Indonesia has discovered 183 feet of net oil-bearing reservoir and 327 feet of net gas-bearing reservoir. Oil and gas samples have been recovered to surface.
Following completion of evaluation operations, the well will be side-tracked to drill the Singa Laut prospect in the adjacent fault block. The results of this side-track are expected in late May and will be incorporated with the results from Kuda Laut to assess the extent of discovered resources at that time.

This winter Specsavers in Crompton Place is keen to esnure that children are 'seen and safe' and the team recently paid a visit to Lord Street Primary School in Horwich and donated a number of high-visibility vests for school children to wear on the morning and afternoon/evening school run.
The donation is part of an initiative by Specsavers and our charity partner Brake, to increase the safety of local youngsters. Store manager Martin Booth was delighted to meet some of the pupils and staff and hand over the vests.
A word from the store manager
Martin said: 'Like other stores across the region, we are are determined to ensure local children are seen and safe on dark nights. We hope these bright and easily seen vests will help reinforce the importance of protecting kids, families and everyone else on the roads this winter.'
A word from Lord Street primary school
Lord Street Primary School Head Teacher Charli Bryant said: 'We are delighted with the high visibility vests. Safety is extremely important to the school and these vests are essential when we take the children out on trips.
'This time of year is quite challenging because it's darker and visibility is reduced, so ensuring children can be easily seen to road users and cars is vital.'

Today's news, tomorrow's lesson - 3 September
'Blade runner' apologises for timing of sharp words
Paralympic athlete Oscar Pistorius has apologised for the timing of controversial comments made about the winner of his 200m race.
The South African set a new world record of 21.30seconds in the semi-finals, but he was beaten in the T44 200m final by Brazilian Alan Fonteles Oliveira. The race was won in a time of 21.45s, with Pistorius coming in second in 21.52s.
Pistorius claimed directly after the race that Oliveira's artificial legs were too long, allowing him to make bigger strides. He told Channel 4: "We are not running in a fair race here.
"There's not even another Paralympic amputee to run a 21 second race," he said, "let alone a 21.4sec."
Despite releasing a statement to the Press Association this morning apologising for the timing of his comments, Pistorius still maintained that there were concerns over longer blade lengths that needed to be addressed by the International Paralympic Committee.
He said: "I would never want to detract from another athlete's moment of triumph and I want to apologise for the timing of my comments after yesterday's race.
"I do believe that there is an issue here and I welcome the opportunity to discuss with the IPC but I accept that raising these concerns immediately as I stepped off the track was wrong."
A spokesman for the IPC said that a meeting will be set up with Pistorius to discuss the matter, however a statement released today rejected his claim that Oliveira had any unfair advantage.
"All athletes competing in the Men's 200m T44 final were checked by international classifiers in the Call Room ahead of the race. All were within the regulations outlined in the IPC Athletics Classification Handbook."

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 9, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CombiMatrix Corporation (NASDAQ:CBMX), a molecular diagnostics company specializing in DNA-based testing services for prenatal and postnatal developmental disorders and pre-implantation genetic screening services, announces the presentation of data supporting the value of follow-up diagnostic testing to confirm or rule out positive results for common chromosomal aneuploidies and microdeletion syndromes detected by non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT). Data from the unpublished study conducted by CombiMatrix were presented by Trilochan Sahoo, M.D., FACMG, CombiMatrix's Vice President of Clinical Affairs and Director of Cytogenetics, in a presentation late yesterday at the 2015 American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) conference underway in Baltimore.
"The use of NIPT to detect common fetal chromosomal abnormalities is increasing, yet we found significant rates of false positive test results after subsequent follow-up testing with microarray and karyotyping," said Dr. Sahoo. "Importantly, in addition to the well-documented high false positive rates for some aneuploidies, our data show significant false positive rates for microdeletions. These data suggest NIPT results that are positive for an abnormality often turn out to be normal after a follow-up diagnostic test such as those offered by CombiMatrix. Our ability to expand upon the NIPT findings provides highly valuable diagnostic information to patients and their families."
Common chromosomal aneuploidies include Down (trisomy 21), Edwards (trisomy 18) and Patau (trisomy 13) syndromes. Chromosomal microdeletions are associated with conditions such as intellectual disability, seizures, autism spectrum disorder and neuropsychiatric disorder, among others.
The unpublished CombiMatrix study, "Expanding non-invasive prenatal testing to include microdeletions and segmental aneuploidy: Cause for concern?," was performed by Dr. Sahoo and evaluated outcome and concordance results of NIPT with invasive diagnostic testing using both fetal karyotype and/or prenatal microarray from 290 cases in women with both high- and low-risk pregnancies. Highlights of the study's findings include:
- The overall true positive and false positive rates for NIPT compared to diagnostic testing were estimated at approximately 70% and 20%, respectively.
- The chromosome-specific true positive and false positive rates, respectively, were 84% and 12% for Trisomy 21; 82% and 18% for trisomy 18; 53% and 47% for trisomy 13; and 44% and 56% for X-Y chromosome aneuploidies.
- For 25 cases predicted by NIPT to have a microdeletion or duplication, the overall true positive and false positive rates were 30% and 70%, respectively. The outcomes for false positive rates were 71% for 22q11.2 deletion (DiGeorge syndrome); 75% for 1p36 deletion; and 83% for 5p deletion.
"Recently published findings suggest a cautious approach to the interpretation of NIPT results based on the higher-than-previously reported over-representation of the positive predictive value for specific aneuploidies," said Mark McDonough, President and Chief Executive Officer of CombiMatrix. "These new study data support that it is absolutely essential to follow-up positive results from NIPT with invasive prenatal diagnostic testing for both aneuploidies and microdeletions to preclude errors in diagnosis. The data suggest that a comprehensive approach in these situations benefits the patient and that clinical decisions should not be undertaken based purely upon NIPT results."
