Adidas shoes: must-have trainers for women.
A reference anchored in the world of sport, Adidas has been a real institution in terms of trainers and bags ever since it was founded in the mid-1920s. The biggest supplier of sports shoes in Europe, this equipment heavyweight is one of the best-known brands internationally, proposing clothing, accessories and footwear for men, women and children.
The brand in a major sporting league.
In 1924, brothers Adolf and Rudolf Dassler got together to launch a brand of shoes under their own name, aimed at sportsmen who were keen to improve their performance. Twelve years later, on the occasion of the Olympic Games in Berlin, Jesse Owens, the athlete considered to be one of the greatest sprinters of the interwar period laced up a pair of Dasslers before winning four gold medals, thus signalling the start of the story linking the Olympic Games to sports equipment. In 1948, the brothers fell out and decided to put an end to their collaboration. Adolf then took over stewardship of the House, which he renamed Adidas. Apart from the name change, the split would mark the creation of the three-stripe logo.
Since then, Adidas has ensured itself prime position for equipping Olympian athletes, even becoming an official sponsor of the global event in 2012. Now one of the most highly-coveted sportswear brands, Adidas is also a reference in the world of fashion, with certain of its designs becoming iconic pieces, like its famous sports bag and its acclaimed Superstar trainers. The partnerships entered into by the label with personalities and brands like Stella McCartney, Topshop, Pharrell Williams and Jeremy Scott have also met with meteoric success.
Iconic sneakers.
Classic and timeless, the collection of women's trainers by Adidas still includes the initial design that will never go out of fashion, alongside numerous contemporary creations teeming with originality in the context of temporary collections, over the course of successive collaborations involving well-known personalities and couturiers from all over the world. As a complement to the range of tennis shoes that made it successful, the German brand proposes more feminine, less sporty styles, designs in suede and in leather, adorned with bright colours and colourful prints. Low-cut or high-cut, with laces or velcro, Adidas trainers come in an infinite number of versions and are constantly being revisited.
A real institution for all sneaker-addicts and devotees of sports fashion, the German brand has nothing literally left to prove in terms of reputation. It would be impossible to mention the name of Adidas without citing three of its signature styles of trainers:

I'm only annoyed because I found a mistake, pointed it out, and got precisely two responses - one from someone who clearly had no idea what I was talking about and one from someone who ignored my complaint completely. Even when I emailed the person who started the thread directly, all I got was an assurance that I was "welcome to post about it in the forum" and a half-hearted "I'll get someone else to look at it." I posted a picture and everything - even marked the square I was looking at. Anyone who could be bothered to spend 30 seconds on this thread, which apparently even the guy who started it can't, could see for themselves that there's an obvious error, but nobody cares!
quote:ORIGINAL: Razorflame ...recommend anyone that has any issues with any puzzles to contact people like Ahlyis or myself directly through e-mail. I would have to say that I am less experienced at most of the puzzles than Ahlyis would be, but I could still possibly help out in certain situations.

Take control of your O&M strategy with retrofit control solutions
You can't optimise the wind. And you can't control government subsidy schemes or other political factors. What you can control and optimise is your wind farm. And the better you do so, the more you can increase AEP and capacity factor, lower O&M costs and achieve a favourable LCOE that translates into shareholder value.
Seize the opportunity at EoW
Service and maintenance costs are a major driver of O&M costs and a significant contributor to the LCOE of your wind farm. Lowering these costs is a key aspect of optimising wind farm operations. As long as you are still covered by OEM warranty, however, there is little you can do to drive down costs. The OEM often has a great deal of control of service and upgrade work for your turbines, and any unauthorised work will be in breach of warranty terms.
When EoW approaches for your wind farm, it can be a welcome opportunity to take full control of your O&M strategy and wind farm management. And one of the most cost-effective paths to full control is a retrofit control solution from a third-party vendor such as DEIF.
Freedom of choice, and a few problems solved
The OEM is often the only company capable of carrying out service and maintenance work on original turbine equipment such as the controller and pitch system. By replacing these components with custom-made retrofit control solutions from a third-party vendor, you get an updated and upgraded solution that can be serviced by multiple parties. This gives you the freedom to take full control of your O&M strategy. The decision to keep using the OEM, select an ISP or go for an in-house service solution is yours to make when you select a retrofit control solution for your wind farm.
By opting for a universally serviceable solution, you solve a few O&M related issues into the bargain. For example, procuring spare parts can be expensive and difficult if the OEM is the only source of parts, especially as turbines get older. OEMs often do not allow access to the turbine controllers or provide software updates, because they want to protect data and intellectual property rights. Service and maintenance procedures for OEM equipment may require the use of proprietary OEM tools. Finding adequate technical documentation for service work can be a challenge. And limited access to wind farm performance data (because you are tied to OEM programs, or because older controllers simply do not generate the data you need) means that you have no access to complete and unbiased status and condition information about your wind farm.
With a retrofit control solution that can be accessed and serviced by several parties, these problems are solved, and you are free to pursue whichever O&M strategy you see fit, driving down O&M costs and optimizing LCOE.
New technology improves turbine performance
In addition to this freedom, retrofit control solutions also help you increase AEP by improving turbine power performance. When you replace the original OEM control components in your wind turbine with a state-of-the-art retrofit control solution, you get advantages that just weren't possible when the turbine was commissioned. Retrofitting control solutions can significantly impact turbine performance across the power curve by improving part-load efficiency, increasing nominal power output and extending the range of operation by increasing the cut-out speed.
In short, a retrofit control solution makes you independent of OEM constraints, allowing you to opt for any O&M strategy, and it improves the performance of your wind farm. The key is to select a retrofit control solution from a third-party vendor such as DEIF that does not require special tools and comes with full manufacturer support and full access to performance data, no matter who owns and runs the wind farm.
Let's talk retrofit solutions!
At DEIF, we don't sign exclusive deals with anyone. Our priority is to keep your wind farm running at maximum AEP and a favourable LCOE, and we are prepared to support you with the information and data you need to achieve that goal, no matter which turbine brand or model you are using, and no matter how you intend to handle O&M after EoW.
DEIF is a family-owned company headquartered in Denmark, sometimes referred to as the wind power capital of the planet. Our family of partners and customers is truly global, though, and we are active in many markets around the world. Contact us to get more details on how our retrofit control solutions for wind farms can help you take control of your O&M strategy to really control and optimise your wind farm. (When it comes to controlling those political factors, though, you'll need to look elsewhere.)
We look forward to helping you!

Tapflo pumps - long life design and robustness.
Back in 2004 Tapflo delivered more than thirty diaphragm pumps to a hot dip galvanizing plant in Sweden. At that time this plant was one of the world's most modern of its kind, with one manual and two fully automated facilities.
It was an explicit demand of the plant's maintenance manager to use diaphragm pumps from Tapflo: - " Because I know it works !"
The pumps are used to pump wastewater, acid, lye and flux to various parts of the treatment plant. All pumps are made of polyethylene (PE) with diaphragms in PTFE, a proven solution in the surface treatment industry. They have lived up to the expectations and most of the pumps are still running since they were put into operation more than 14 years ago.
Should you need similar solution or tailored to your specific needs please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or contact your local Tapflo dealer: http://tapflo.com/en/contact

It could be a boon for the US Coffers--at least according to our favorite little regulatory body: FASB.
Just a thought:
Will the US Treasury begin booking the devaluation in US treasuries as a gain, ala Jamie Dimon's comments a few weeks ago about accounting standards (banks mark-to-market profits when their bonds fall due to buy-back costs declining)? It would surely be the finest gov't accounting scandal YTD.
Maybe M2M isn't looking so bad afterall.

Reader Question: Monty, as an apartment developer, I fuel future development by regularly investing in raw land. I have owned a 40-acre parcel for 20 years. I am certain I cannot rezone it for apartments as the surrounding area has developed as single family. It is a beautiful parcel and has many natural attributes. I have never developed a residential subdivision, but I suspect it is quite different from developing an apartment site. What advice do you have for a first time developer of a residential subdivision? William C.
Monty's Answer: Hello William, and thanks for the question. A seasoned commercial lender will say the three riskiest loans a bank makes are:
1. Real estate development.
2. Restaurants.
3. A religious organization.
There are often simple reasons many subdivision developments fail. Careful research and planning can avoid the many pitfalls and help insure the development is not only successful, but the returns maximized. Here is a step-by-step plan that demonstrates the overall process.
The development process
First verify the highest and best use of the property is a residential subdivision. A forty-acre parcel in an area that has blossomed as single-family homes may now require other services. The primary reason to investigate this is capital gain income versus ordinary income. If there is another user, like a hospital, a school or a municipal park where the entire property sells at once, capital gain treatment is preserved on the income.
Engage a seasoned registered land surveyor with significant subdivision development experience to create several potential layouts. There are many factors that will restrict or allow for the differences in design. Topography, natural boundaries, design criteria for roadways, environmental issues, public utilities and more. Part of this exercise is looking at historic lot sales, new construction starts and what consumers are building. Understanding lot values and consumer preferences in lot amenities influences the final design selection. This is where separating your personal feelings about the land from the marketplace reigns.
With the layout alternatives in hand, project estimated hard and soft development costs, estimates of market value of improved lots, the cost of municipal utilities and a time line projection of how long it will take to complete the entire project, from groundbreaking through the sale of the very last lot. One of the key factors in this task is the market absorption rate of residential lots. A new construction real estate agent with both access to sale records and an understanding of new lot sales will have valuable input to be considered.
The biggest risk
Another factor, which is very difficult to discern, is the future. What will the economy be like in a year or two? The real estate meltdown in 2008 created many failed subdivisions when sales ground to a halt and lot values sunk. The future can be a primary reason to phase the development.
The approval process
The next step is gaining approval from the municipality and other governing bodies. Your surveyor has considered all their codes and design criteria, but other questions still remain. Will the plan develop in phases, or all at once? What does the city want from the project? Are costs sharing or grant opportunities available for bringing municipal sewer and water to the site?
The process in gaining approval from the municipality varies by where the property is located. Some municipalities have several review committees with a final board approval that can be accomplished in 3 to 4 months. In other communities or states where the barriers to approval are higher, the process can take several years. Your surveyor will have a good sense of the time it will take based on experience.
Remember to consider public opinion. Many developments today encounter resistance from neighbors. Be prepared to help explain the many benefits such a development brings to the community. In some cases, neighborhood meetings prior to actual submittal to the municipality can be a smart idea. This reduces the possibility later on of misconceptions and inaccurate information turning into an unnecessary firestorm.
Trust the land surveyor
Municipalities have "border agreements" with neighboring communities. This is where land squabbles and arguments can arise about "who pays" and "how much". Subdivision development often occurs on the extremities of the community. As a cautionary note, until such time as a plan of action is established allow only the land surveyor to communicating with the municipalities.

Jan & Elisabeth Anema
Portuguese people crave attention and appreciation. We hope they will find true love with Jesus.
In 1987 Jan and Elisabeth Anema left their dairy farm in the Netherlands in order to set up a business in Portugal. After a few years they began a farm in Lavre, in the region of Alentejo.
For the Anemas, their organic dairy and cheese farm is also a place to find peace and to reflect, and it also offers many possibilities for serving people in Portugal. Agricultural processes and nature are beautiful starting off points for explaining principles from the Bible.
For many years Jan and Elisabeth have been involved with helping ex-drug addicts. They are now focussing more on prevention, for example on programs for young people and families. Besides this they participate in organising summer camps for children and teenagers from poorer districts of Lisbon. By their lifestyle they try to open people's eyes so that they can be brought closer to God.
Elisabeth is involved in pastoral counselling. She counsels people herself and also trains others in counselling – a skill which in many Portuguese evangelical churches is underdeveloped. Elisabeth is also responsible for the pastoral care of ECM workers in Portugal.
The Anemas also support Victor and Bia Biscaia, a Portuguese couple in their church planting project in Mora. Mora is a town forty kilometres away with a population of three thousand inhabitants. The church plant is at the phase where a group now comes together at the Biscaias' home on Sundays.

'SNL': Yes, That's Bruce Willis Playing a Centaur
You've got to love it when 'SNL' forces its major movie star guest hosts to do really, really silly stuff and you honestly don't get much sillier than Bruce Willis playing a centaur. The only thing you can complain about here is that Willis is playing a guy playing centaur instead of a real centaur, but that may have been just a little too much perfect for a single sketch.
The set-up involves the kind of thing you have to wonder about every time you see one of the two-person horse costumes: what is keeping the person playing the back legs from passing out and/or dying? That's the main concern of Bruce Willis' character in this sketch, which sees him and an anonymous cohort working together to play a centaur at the opening party for brand new "Centauri Vodka." As people sip their drinks and mingle about, Willis' partner/back legs grow increasingly weary, leading to a few inspired bits of physical comedy.
Naturally, most of the laughs come from the fact that this is a shirtless Bruce Willis wearing a long blonde wig and standing in half of a horse costume. You don't even have to write real jokes when you have that image. That said, the video does find time for a delightful Vin Diesel joke. This sketch has everything, guys!

Looking to sell?
Want to sell a property?
Your Sutton realtor will help you make the best decision on the sale. To do so, I will evaluate the extent to which you want to move out as well as your sale expectations. I will provide you with the information you need to know about the current market situation.
Should I sell or buy first?
Each of these options comes with its own set of advantages. To find out what should come first, ask for your realtor's help to make the right choice that best corresponds to your situation.
Why choose a realtor?
Although some factors like the best time to sell and the location cannot be controlled, your realtor is able to determine the price and sale terms and conditions that meet your needs. To do so, you realtor will use his in-depth knowledge of the real estate market and consider the following assessment criteria:
- Selling price determined from comparable homes that have been sold
- Price of properties sold in your area
- Price of active listings in your area
- Current market conditions
- Attitude and response from potential buyers
With such an ally, you will get a fair price from the marketplace for your property in addition to getting your property sold within a reasonable period of time.

Bomb attack on school in Peshawar, two killed and 14 wounded, seven children
Peshawar (AsiaNews) - An attack by Islamic militants on a Pakistani school today caused two deaths and 14 wounded, including seven children, provoking the strong condemnation of the Diocese of Peshawar. Father Francis Sohail told AsiaNews: "This is a brutal act, innocent children have been targeted. These children were going to school, some of them were already inside the school. No religion can justify the killing of innocent children. These extremists are against education for women. They can not frighten us, we support women's education. Our society is heading towards darkness, education is a ray of hope. We urge the government to ensure that this ray of hope spreads across Pakistan".
The powerful bomb exploded this morning outside a school in the centre of Peshawar, in the crowded Notia Jadded neighbourhood. Two people were killed and another 14 injured. According to chief of rescue operations, Muhammad Ejaz Khan, it was "a remote-controlled bomb in a cart, which were used five kilograms of explosives." The victims, Azizur Rehman and another man, not yet identified, were passers-by.
Among the wounded there are seven children. The death toll could have been much higher if the bomb had exploded half an hour later, many students had not yet reached the school. Police have arrested two suspects, currently being interrogated. The building has been damaged, and the whole area is closed by a cordon of officers. Peshawar is the capital of the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and the militants often target military and civilian targets of the government, particularly schools.

Introduce your business and tell us your story: How did you decide on what to sell, and how did you source your products?
I've always loved pencils. I wanted to make my favorite pencils more easily available in the U.S., as some global pencils are difficult to come by here. I've built relationships with different suppliers around the world, but I also source antique items from collectors (and eBay).
How did you earn your first sales? Which channels are now generating the most traffic and sales for you?
Our first sales were mostly made by word of mouth through friends (my mom was one of my first customers.) Early on, we also had a lot of support from the Erasable Podcast and other bloggers in the pencil community. And right away, the store's Instagram caught on really fast. We get a ton of traffic from the different press that we've gotten. When our physical store first launched, we were featured in the New York Times, which was huge for us, and recently we've been in The Guardian and Entrepreneur. We also do a lot of outreach on Instagram. And the community of worldwide pencil enthusiasts has been really supportive.
Tell us about the back-end of your business. What tools and apps do you use to run your store? How do you handle shipping and fulfillment?
We primarily use Shopify - both to power our website, as well as the in-store POS app. Zapstitch integration for Shopify has been massively helpful for integrating with Quickbooks and running reports. We've also integrated Mailchimp with Shopify for email outreach. And of course, we spend a lot of time using Instagram to promote our products. Our small team handles it all in-house from our Manhattan store.
What are your top recommendations for new store owners?
Product photography and creating a really pleasant user experience is extremely important. And also - do it slow, and do it right.

It took me only a few seconds - just
seeing him there - with the hole in his back
and the wind blowing through his hair
to get back again into my animal sorrow.
I am sick of the country, the bloodstained
bumpers, the stiff hairs sticking out of the grilles,
the slimy highways, the heavy birds
refusing to move;
I am sick of the spirit of Lindbergh over everything,
that joy in death, that philosophical
understanding of carnage, that
concentration on the species.
- I am going to be unappeased at the opossum's death.
I am going to behave like a Jew
and touch his face, and stare into his eyes,
and pull him off the road.
I am not going to stand in a wet ditch
with the Toyotas and the Chevies passing over me
at sixty miles an hour
and praise the beauty and the balance
and lose myself in the immortal lifestream
when my hands are still a little shaky
from his stiffness and his bulk
and my eyes are still weak and misty
from his round belly and his curved fingers
and his black whiskers and his little dancing feet.
(Gerald Stern)

The effect of low humidity on the human tear film
Abusharha AA, Pearce EI.
The authors investigated the effect of dry air on tear film physiology. 12 young subjects (10 m., 2 f., mean age 29,8 y) with no history of dry eye syndrome were exposed during 60 minutes to very low relative humidity (RH) of 5% compared to 40%RH in an environmental chamber.
There was significant change in tear evaporation rate (P = 0.00), noninvasive tear break-up time (P = 0.00), Lipid Layer Thickness LLT (P = 0.00), ocular comfort (P = 0.00), and tear production (P = 0.01) after exposure to the desiccating environment. No significant differences were observed between normal and dry environmental conditions in tear osmolarity (P = 0.09) and ocular surface temperature (P = 0.20).
Evaporation rate, tear lipid layer thickness, ocular comfort, tear stability, and production were adversely affected by low RH. The tear film parameters observed after exposure to a desiccating environment for 1 hour were similar to those of the dry eye patient.
Therefore, to avoid tear film disruption and possible ocular surface damage, the environmental conditions of dry locations need to be improved or the tear film should be protected against adverse environmental conditions.
Dry air and our eyes
Low humidity dries our eyes' precorneal tear film making us prone to eye irritations and contact lens discomfort.

Low humidity dries the outer layer of our skin leading to itchiness, cracking and dermatological problems.

Some Comments:
I'm sorry but, to put a current player in the top 10 historical is over doing it. When Kobe and James retire, only then will they be "Historical". And remember kids, it took Jordan what 5? to get his first ring? James has already taken a team to historic lengths single handedly. Of course Kobe can show off. He has an entire team of amazing players. When Kobe can run a team then maybe he'll gain "greatest" but, until then, James still has a lot more to show the world.
Ted Wat the f*** wrong with u Kobe is the best in NBA right now.. Micheal is the greatest and Kobe is second..listen only 5 years old think Lebron James is better then Kobe… Kobe have more blocks,points,rings,steals,have a better 3, Kobe make shots are to great.. Lebron is good but hes not on that level yet but hes not better then Kobe..one more thing Lebron said Kobe the best dum a** look it up on YouTube…and every body left out Carmelo Anthony

I think the list is somewhere around this..
1. Lebron James (He doesn't have a champion ring but he did have a spectacular season) almost 30 ppg, 7 rpg, and 8 apg. He's greater than kobe in all 5 major statistics. (Not a fan of Lebron) I'm not saying hes better than kobe, but his stats is what makes us believe hes number 1.
2. Kobe Bryant- His stats aren't much impressive than lebron, but his game winning shots is what makes him the second top on the list. Plus, lebron is only 24, he could do mad crazy stuffs than kobe. Can't really compare him with lebron since they play totally different positions.
3. Dwyane Wade (My favorite player in the NBA) His points, assists, and rebounds aren't as big as lebron, but his plays are insane, esp driving in to the basket. His steals and blocks are also a reason why i like him. THis is what i called "able to play both ends of the floor." (same goes for lebron)
4. Kevin Durant- Great plays , great dunks, great everything. 2nd highest ppg on the list. Almost 30 ppg. 'enuff said.
5. Dwight Howard THis guy is a beast, either blocking shots or under the basket. THis guy averages out 3 blks and 13 boards per game. Totally impressive.
6. Carmello Anthony Don't really watch him play much, but do know the fact that he belongs in #6. This guy is just a pure talent shooter. Excellent player.
7. Dirk Nowitzi (forgot how to spell his name) This guy is amazing. He is one of the reasons why the Mav is dominating (along with many great players such as Jason Kidd)
8. Chris Bosh I went over some of the lists and i was amazingly surprised that this guy is nowhere on most of the lists. This guy just has to be on the list.
9. Chris Paul- He didnt have a great season this year and had been injured almost throughout the whole season. BUt when he was on the court, he did have amazing games. I believe, if he was healthy, he would have been one of the top five, but due to his injuried, i would put him in number 9 for now. (He's also my fav player, along with d wade)
10. Amare Stoudimare- I know there are lots of great athletes should be in the top ten, such as Tim Duncan, D Will, etc. but the way Amare Stoudimare helped his team is just too much.
Kobe Sucks
I believe kobe is only good in the offensive side of the court and has lousy defense so lb james is beter
for me:
i like ray allen, tim duncan, & paul pierce
forget shaq & CP3! ugh.
what about kevin durant hes better than danny whats his face
news flash for all you shaq fans he was good in the 90s but its the 21st century you have to move on
im a celtics fan but i agree kobe and james need to be #1 and #2 but you have to have rondo in at least #8 super hyper super confident super good what else can you ask for
hbt chris bosh shouldnt he be in there somewhere
what about Pete Maravich?
10. Amare Stoudemeier
9. Paul Pierce
8. Kevin Garnett
7. Carmelo Anthony
6. Brandon Roy
5. Dwight Howard

1. Kobe Bryant or LeBron James, cant decide.

LeBron isn't number one right now, as far as i know, he hasn't led his team to a championship yet, and he's definitely not top 10 of all time. Kobe Bryant is the best player in the league at his position and maybe the best all around player in the league. He is the captain of the most watched team around the world that happen to be the reigning champs.

Note: The views expressed herein are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the position of everyone at ::the open end::
Kobe is the best player in the world!!!!! No one can stop him or has the all around game he does. GET OFF HIM!!!!!
your an idiot celtics number one lakers number two if you know your math then you will realize 17 championships are more then 15
1. Magic Johnson
2. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
3. Oscar Robertson
4. Michael Jordan
5. Larry Bird
6. Jerry West
7. Wilt Chamberlain
8. Bill Russel
9. Kobe Bryant
10. Rick Barry
Lebron James will be at the top of that list when he is done playing.
Are you 5 years old? Kobe and Julius have no business being on this list! Where are Bob Pettit and Oscar Robertson? Michael Jordan was all hype and was given half what he deserved in this league because he was marketable. Beating up Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton is child's play and the boy was 1-11 or so w/o Pippen in the playoffs. Magic should be on top of this list. Hakeem was a better center than Shaq is today, swept him in '95. And yes, I think when it's all said and done, Lebron will probably be considered the greatest in NBA history, too bad he didn't allow his teammates to handle more responsibility during their series against Orlando…But the whole idea of the debate is bias and skewed because each generation plays with different rules and stats can be deceiving. It's all relative and proportionate. But- Magic won 5 titles with an aging Kareem and a cast of players he made good in a league with Moses, Isaiah, Bird, Julius, Hakeem, Malone and Stockton, Drexler, Wilkins, Dantley, English, Ewing, Barkley, Gervin, Gilmore, King, KJ, Pippen and of course Jordan and probably would have won 8 titles had LA not suffered injuries in 91, 89, and 83 Finals.
In defense of Rick Barry, who should be amended into your top ten historical list:
Most points scored in a six-game series:
Jerry West
Michael Jordan
Rick Barry
LeBron James
(sorry, i don't remember the precise number. i do remember that all range somewhere in the 200s)
Someone argued last night that LeBron would dethrone MJ as the best player ever within a few years. Agree?
Dude your an idiot, you kinda left Tim Duncan off the list. Figure it out dumbass
One thing I LIKE about this list: LBJ, in some circles known as LeBron James or King James, is not in the top ten historical, as I believe, like many in the know, that he is a weak player that will never benefit any NBA team enough to bring home a championship. He does know how to dance to bad music, however.
One thing I DON'T like about this list: Rick Barry isn't in the top ten historical.

Degree awarded
Master of Science (MSc) in Economics & Subject area (if chosen): Behaviour, Economics & Evolution (BEE)
Master of Science (MSc) in Economics & Subject area (if chosen): Behaviour, Economics & Evolution (BEE)
Professor Luís Santos Pinto, Director of the Master in Economics (MScE)
The Master of Science in Economics at the University of Lausanne is Switzerland's longest established graduate program in economics. It began in 1982, as the MSE, before being expanded to the current MSc in 2004.
Our program boasts international recognition, built on the caliber of its faculty and the success of its previous graduates. We aim to provide necessary skills for a successful career as a professional economist. The MScE is also an excellent preparation for Ph.D programs in economics, both in Switzerland and abroad.
Our main objective is to provide you with a thorough approach to economics. We believe that acquiring analytical and quantitative skills early on is essential for any professional economist. Whereas a Bachelor's degree provides basic knowledge and intuition, our program offers courses on the foundations of economics analysis and applications. These foundations are key towards making real analytical and managerial contributions in both public and private sector positions, or in the world of academic research.
We ensure that you have the best resources available for your studies. Our classes are typically small which allows us to engage in a real dialogue with you. The primary objectives of the various modules of the MScE are to introduce, to analyze and to apply state-of-the-art methods in economic and econometric research. We offer foundation courses in macroeconomics, microeconomics and econometrics, and courses that study a range of economic applications: economic growth, health economics, international trade, financial crises, industrial organization and macroeconomic policy (see study plan).
The MScE program is aimed at students with a Bachelor's degree in economics, or possibly a business or management degree (with a strong economics component). Other degrees, such as natural sciences and mathematics may also be considered.
Our program offers two tracks for you to acquire a profile. We offer seven overlapping modules and you can enroll in up to two of them. Doing so allows you to sharpen your professional profile. We also offer a specialization in Behaviour, Economics, and Evolution (BEE). This specialization is joint with the school of Biology at UNIL and offers you the unique opportunity to study which role evolution plays in key economic questions. This specialization lets you acquire an inter-disciplinary mind-set, often needed to tackle today's global challenges.

Super skinny sweetie Janice Griffith can't help but miss her man Gavin Kane, so she compensates by wearing his clothes and enjoying his scent as she walks around in nothing else but a thong. When Gavin finally does come home, Janice is instantly ready for his loving attention.
After kissing his way down Janice's belly, Gavin pulls his lover's thong aside and samples the sweetness of her landing strip pussy with his tongue. Liking what he tastes, he settles in for a longer pussy eating session. As Janice grows slick with excitement, Gavin presses his fingers into her tight hole to increase her pleasure.
Once Janice has had her first climax, she can't wait to get Gavin in on the loving. With a huge smile she unsnaps his pants to pull his hardening cock out, and eagerly takes him in her mouth for a wet and wild dick sucking. Her enthusiasm is obvious as she takes him all the way down her throat and then settles in for a fast and furious cock gobbling.
When Gavin can't wait any longer to be inside his woman he finally peels her thong down Janice's long legs and plunges deep into her welcoming warmth. They take their time at first, enjoying the slow friction, but soon Gavin can't help but pick up the pace until he has set a fast, steady rhythm.
Switching things up, Gavin takes Janice's place on the bed and helps to position his woman so that she can ride him in cowgirl and reverse cowgirl style. Pumping her hips like a champion, Janice takes a few exploratory thrusts and then sets a breakneck pace that gets her tits bouncing and her pussy pulsing.
When Janice has had enough of setting the pace, she gets up on her hands and knees and lets her man do the work doggy style. Gavin isn't shy about going hard and fast so that his balls slap against Janice's sensitized clit in a rhythm designed for maximum pleasure.
Knowing that he has fully satisfied his woman's voracious sexual hunger, Gavin finally takes his own pleasure. Pulling out at the last second, he releases his huge load all over Janice soft ass and twat so that she can rub the warm wet love in with her magic fingers.
