At least 125 million women and girls have undergone female genital mutilation (FGM) in Africa and the Middle East, according to a UNICEF report issued on Monday. In 50 percent of the countries practicing FGM — roughly 29 across the two regions — the procedure involves girls under 5-years-old. In other countries, FGM occurs when girls are between the ages of 5 and 14.
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines FGM as "all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia, or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons." Also known as "female genital cutting (FGC)," most FGM occurs in Africa and a few Middle Eastern countries, although it does take place in parts of Central and South America. There is no one reason that the practice is continued; in places where FGM does take place, it is considered a social norm. Many believe the practice preserves girls' virginity by suppressing "sexual desire" — the reason most Westerners associate the practice with — and can also signal a transition into womanhood when performed on older girls. Families often force FGM upon their daughters as a means to render them more desirable for marriage, and to conform to social expectations. Girls are often perceived as "dirty" if they are not cut.
All told, numerous consequences are commonly associated with the procedure, with "severe pain, shock, [and bleeding]" among some of the immediate effects. Moreover, because FGM disturbs girls' anatomy, it has a litany of long-term impacts. Women and girls who undergo FGM often experience infertility, difficulties during childbirth, and painful intercourse. Long-lasting infections can develop in the bladder, pelvis, and reproductive system. In addition to physical harm, FGM can also take a toll psychologically. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for example, is a prevalent issue among girls who undergo the process.
UNICEF found that the prevalence of FGM varies across the 29 countries referenced in its report, and grouped them into five tiers to reflect those rates. For example, eight countries have high percentages — above 80 percent — of girls who are cut. Somalia and Egypt, for instance, claim that 98 percent and 91 percent of girls are cut, respectively. Egypt alone hosts one in five of the total number who have been subjected to the procedure. Other nations included in the study have much lower rates of FGM, such as Uganda and Cameroon, in which only 1 percent of girls undergo cutting. The process is currently illegal within the United States.
The international children's organization is not alone in assessing FGM as detrimental to the health and well-being of young girls. FGM ultimately strips freedoms away from those subjected to the process, Amnesty International argues, including the rights to "physical and mental integrity, freedom from violence…freedom from discrimination on the basis of sex, and freedom from torture,…inhuman and degrading treatments, [and] life (when the procedure results in death)." As such, the procedure can be considered a human rights violation, UNICEF says, under the U.N. Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) and possibly the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Activists are currently working with government bodies, non-governmental organizations, and civil society groups to eradicate FGM through legislation, educational messaging, and localized advocacy.
According to the organization, 30 million additional girls will suffer from FGM if discourse continues as is. "FGM/C is a violation of a girl's rights to health, well-being and self-determination," UNICEF Deputy Executive Director Geeta Rao Gupta said in a blog post from the organization announcing the report. "What is clear from this report is that legislation alone is not enough. The challenge now is to let girls and women, boys and men speak out loudly and clearly and announce they want this harmful practice abandoned."

Disgusting...tks for sharing
Is this 2014 or 1814?!!
How is it that some countries. cultures have not evolved atall despite having access to education, other ideas via television, computers? ... Some religions discourage change, openness or the leaders lose power. Those leaders are male and 2 religions particularly guilty of female repression are the Roman Catholic and Islam.
Female Genital interference bad then some cultures sew the Labia together which can cause many problems in Labour and Delivery > death of woman or baby. This extra to fact female may be only a teenager giving birth after Child marriage and insensitive intercourse by older husband.
It goes to show how vital education and knowledge is. Void of any education, men are in the position to brainwash their women into this barbaric practice. They believe mutilating themselves, preserves them for their husbands. Exactly how does being void of sexual pleasure allow you to feel happy with some man. Especially when they choose husbands for girls as young as five years old.
No doubt signed... with hope.
@ Anne M. "I wonder if those men ' get off ', doing this to these women"...I don't think so. It's the women who do it to girls. I can't understand why, in a culture that promotes male sexuality,
men prefer to have a sexual partner that has been deprived of sexual pleasure. For me, a woman's sexual response is the most beautiful part of sexual activity.
Suba, I understand.
And I think that the possibility of thousands of women being beaten, cast off or even KILLED for standing up against FGM isn't very likely to happen! If you're unschooled, possibly illiterate, have no job skills, have no property of your own and can't find a place to live without a man, you'll stick with ''the devil you know''.

What advantages do 4G wireless networks have over 3G networks?
Yes, 4G represents a technological step beyond its 3G predecessor. But how exactly are 4G wireless networks more advanced than 3G networks? Telecom expert Mike Jude breaks it down.
This Article Covers
3G and 4G
What advantages do 4G wireless networks have over 3G networks?
The simple answer is that a 4G network theoretically will have a higher data transfer rate. With the appropriate amount of spectrum and good network engineering, a Long Term Evolution (LTE)-based network has the potential to reach 100 Mbps, while a WiMAX network can top out at 70 Mbps.
A more complex answer is that a 4G wireless network is a pure data connection: that is, it is an end-to-end Internet Protocol connection. This provides some real advantages, but also some disadvantages. On the one hand, a smartphone simply becomes another data device whose native mode is as an Internet-enabled terminal and that can be managed as such.
On the other hand, services such as voice require some additional machinations to support effectively. Since voice is not intrinsically data-centric and must be converted to data before it can be transferred, voice-capable LTE handsets have been slow in coming.

I'd have to agree with the other respondents on this one and maybe go one extra stage. Admittedly I am fairly new to colour printing but recently I repeated a print I had done 2 months before on the same batch of paper. My colour analyser reproduced exactly the same colour balance and against the master print I had kept it was identical.Originally Posted by stevewillard
The analyser was a secondhand Paterson PCA2060 so no rolls-royce of an analyser.
The real problem arises when you change to a new batch of paper even of the same make but then the analyser only needs a small amount of re-calibration. Maybe one or two test prints against the master print to resolve the balance.
Tiny differences in balance may be detectable by instruments but probably not by human eye and normally the customer wants another print for someone else or has given away his original and wants a replacement. It would be unusual for any critical comparison to be made.
If a customer/friend were to be that critical then it is likely that he/she is also in the colour business and if he/she were, then being critical he/she would want to produce their own prints.

That is my thought as well. In 35mm, I find 400 too grainy most of the time, unless you are going for that look. For medium format 400 speed makes life a lot easier since the lenses are slower and you need some depth of field.
My biggest problem is remembering what kind of film I have in each camera.

Ford Escape Problems
The DPFE (differential pressure feedback EGR) sensor tends to fail. The DPFE sensor monitors function of the EGR valve by measuring pressure changes in the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system. Symptoms of a failing DPFE sensor are hesitation or stumbling when driving along with illumination of the Check Engine Light.
The common problem for ignition misfires are ignition coils going bad. Replacement of the bad ignition coil is necessary. These should be fixed as soon as a problem is detected. Otherwise the misfire can cause damage to other components.
Driving at night and within a few seconds first the lights kind of went dim then bright, next the radio goes off, then the dash goes out from left to right and the headlights go out. I am on a bridge going 50 mph with no lights and it is pitch dark with no shoulders at the end of the bridge on either side of the road it was very nerve racking. Lucky for me, a friendly driver comes along and lets me follow them to next rest stop at a snail pace...

Ford Escape Recalls
The Restraint Control Module (RCM) is the "brains" behind the airbag system. Portions of the module are coated to help prevent moisture intrusion. The coating can crack and when exposed to humidity the printed circuit board may short circuit. This could cause one or more of the airbag system components not to function as expected in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of personal injury. Replacement parts are currently not available, a second notification letter will be sent when they are and dealers will perform the necessary repairs.
The coolant pump for the hybrid system may fail, resulting in the hybrid system shutting down, and the vehicle losing power. Dealers will inspect and replace the original motor electronics coolant pump free of charge to correct the concern.
The engine may hesitate while driving and can stall due to a wiring issue to the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor in the engine management system. Dealers will replace the wiring splices in question free of charge to correct the problem.

Samsung's Galaxy S5 production issues
Were you hoping to get your hands on a Samsung Galaxy S5, scheduled to launch on April 11th? Well, you might have to wait a little longer due to a major fire in March at the factory in Korea that manufactures the printed circuit boards (PCBs) for the new handset.
Samsung hasn't officially delayed the release of the Galaxy S5, but they did announce that the fire might affect the overall volume of the handset. It is estimated that over $1 billion in equipment and components were destroyed in the fire. Thankfully, Samsung sources its PCBs for the Galaxy S5 from multiple locations, so the impact due to the fire should be marginal.
Figure 1 Factory fire at the PCB manufacturer for Samsung's Galaxy S5
As if the factory fire wasn't bad enough, there seems to be another production issue related to the coating process for the lens module of the S5's 16 megapixel camera. They are not thin enough to fit into the handset's case without damaging the lens. With each new release of the Galaxy series of smartphones using thinner and thinner PCBs, connectors, and chips, it should come as no surprise that issues such as this would arise. Is it just me, or don't you think Samsung should have found these issues long before now, with the worldwide release only a few weeks away?
On the upside, the Galaxy S5 also utilizes new chip-based antenna technology from Ethertronics. The EtherChip EC303 is a combined antenna switch and antenna tuner with embedded RAM in a single substrate. Ethertronics has supplied antennae to Samsung for at least the last three Galaxy S generations, but the Galaxy S5 will be the first to use their new RF switch antenna tuning chip to provide improved antenna performance and reduced size.
With each new generation of smart phones expected to offer higher performance, better quality displays, higher resolution cameras, longer battery life, … all at a cost less than its predecessor, production issues seem to be inevitable. Well, the good news is that regardless of whether Samsung delays the release of the Galaxy S5, you don't have to wait until April 11th to try out the smartphone's new features.
Samsung has launched the Galaxy S5 Experience app that runs on Android 4.0 or higher devices. The app provides an interactive introduction to the Galaxy S5's new features for wearable devices and is available to download from Google play.
Figure 2 Galaxy S5 Experience App
Will you be buying the new Galaxy S5? Myself, I am waiting for the iPhone 6 to come out. Rumor has it that it will have a five inch or larger screen similar to the 5.1" one of the Galaxy S5. Some are referring to it as a phablet, a cross between a phone and a tablet. That is exactly what I have been waiting for.

Backup Exec Problem
I having problem as per screenshot.
I cannot run inventory . It says unknown media on all tapes.
We had robotic arm issue last week . We have replaced it already.
Backup exec is running on Window 2003 R2.
Now I can insert the tapes.2 tapes inside . But not able to run Inventory.
thank you .

Your tape drive is shown as a stand-alone drive while you have a library installed.
Run the Device COnfiguration Wizard, and you're able to drag the tape drive down to the library. This will fix it. For good measure reinstall the Symantec drivers.
And if this doesn't fix things, remove the library completely from Windows and BE, restart the services and then make sure Windows sees the robotics/drive. Then run tapeinst.exe to install the Symantec drivers again.
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
...the drive shows as a stand-alone which isn't correct...
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
As you have mentioned that there was a change made to the RL arm, you need need to reconfigure the RL again. I would suggest a few additional steps than mentioned already by pkh
1. From the devices tab, Right click on the Tape Drive and click 'Enable' This will disable the Tape Drive.
2. Right click on the disabled Tape Drive and click 'Delete'
3. Repeat step 1 and 2 for the Medium Changer as well (QUANTUM4)
4. During this BE would ask you to retarget your backup jobs, you could retarget to 'All DEvices' for now.
5. Once this delete is complete, go to the BE installation directory and use tapeinst.exe
6. Go through this wizard use the option to delete all the traces of the Tape Drive and Robotic Library.
7. Stop the BE services and change startup type to disable if possible.
8. Reboot the server and run the tapeinst.exe again to install the Symantec Tape Drivers.
9. Change the start up type of the BE services to Automatic again and start them.
10 The RL should now be recognized again and ready for use.
I forgot to add that after doing the procedure described in my previous post, check that the tape drive is now appearing under the tape library. If it is, you would need to edit your jobs to target the tape drive again. This is because the tape drive might appear as hp4 and your job needs to target hp4.

Thanks for ur input..but what's the difference in dolphin browser and stock?
Is there any other themes that work also?
No, but thanks for suggesting I do this. I I forgot how nice aokp was over gummy. Not going back anymore. I I had a thought though. The RAZR and d4 are similar in software, RAZR has gummy ics and themes for it specifically for gummy. since we were able to flash the artic rom with no worries before, couldn't some one flash gummy for the D4 then flash a RAZR gummy theme. Should work right? If I wasn't on AOKP right now so much I'd do it myself

Research out of the Neurological Institute at University Hospitals Case Medical Center finds that Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) helps patients who suffer from Tourette Syndrome (TS). This first-of-its-kind study of five adults with TS determined that DBS can reduce tic frequency and severity in some people who have exhausted other medical treatments.
Tourette syndrome is a neurobehavioral disorder characterized by sudden, repetitive muscle movements (motor tics) and vocalizations (vocal tics). It often begins in childhood. By young adulthood the tics have usually diminished in frequency and severity. However, in some adults, like those that participated in this clinical trial, the tics become more disabling even with best medical therapy.
The UHCMC teams prospective double-blind study followed these five adults with TS over the course of 12 months. The 3-month data are published in the November issue of the Journal of Neurosurgery. The team concluded that the majority of patients experienced a significant reduction in symptoms and an improved quality of life. The study followed their landmark case in 2004 when the UHCMC neurological team used DBS to treat a 31-year-old man with Tourette Syndrome. Once his deep brain stimulators were turned on he had an immediate and nearly complete resolution of his symptoms.
This is this first and only careful scientific surgical trial for Tourette Syndrome, and provides the highest level of data showing that this surgery is proven to be significantly beneficial for medically refractory Tourette, says Robert Maciunas, MD, Vice Chairman and Professor of Neurological Surgery at UHCMC and lead author of the paper. This study promises to change the standard of care for patients who fail to respond to traditional medications. It promises to usher in a new era of medical research and treatment for Tourette Syndrome with DBS, he says.
DBS is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for trea

US Ambassador Calls for LGBT and HIV Criminalization Reform
July 30, 2014 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Bo Suh, HRC Digital Media Intern
The U.S. Ambassador to Australia John Berry told the 20th International AIDS Conference that the fight against HIV/AIDS cannot be won without the decriminalization of LGBT people.
Ambassador Berry is very popular in Australia and is now one of the highest-ranking U.S. officials to support HIV criminalization reform. He emphasized that the world is at a crucial moment in the fight against HIV/AIDS, but criminalization laws impede greater access to preventive care and treatment by wrongly stigmatizing and marginalizing people living with HIV and AIDS.
"Unfortunately, the criminalization of certain at risk populations and those who are HIV positive – and the stigma associated with HIV – are the very things that will prevent us from eliminating this disease entirely," he said.
Berry noted that these criminalization laws undermine health officials' ability to limit the spread of the disease. Berry also recognized that the U.S. still has much more work to do.
"Now while the United States still has laws that criminalize HIV status, we are working to become better – to do better – and to remedy our mistakes," Berry said. "We believe that one of the most productive public policy actions that we can take is removing outdated criminalization laws from the books. The president in his national HIV/AIDS strategy has called for the review and reform of all HIV criminalization laws across our country."
The Sero Project, a network of HIV/AIDS activists, applauded Berry's comments.
"The Ambassador's unambiguous declaration that HIV criminalization is an injustice and critical impediment to ending the epidemic is of enormous importance. HIV criminalization reform is becoming a litmus test for human rights around the world and we are looking forward to more progress in the months and years ahead," they said in a statement.

What is equality? Equality is a state in which every living person is given the same number of opportunity to vent out their ability to its fullest, regardless of gender, race, wealth, religion, and so on.
However, in the world of capitalism and libertarianism, people cannot be equal. Each person is born with different amounts of wealth and contrary aspects both physically and mentally, no matter how much people fight for equal human rights. There is an increase in reported racial discrimination cases, and still women in South Korea are less employed than men.
Capitalism was adopted by the government as a means to motivate people into working harder.
Nevertheless, both the government and its people should attempt to bring equality into the world. Wealth and power is given to only a selected few; yet the ownership of a nation is not only given to those in the upper class. If people were not given the same amount of opportunity to be equal, the middle and lower classes would eventually accept reality and not try as hard at their jobs as the upper class. In consequence, economy would fall, because there is a limit to how much the wealthy and the powerful can run the world. Furthermore, the wealth gap would be widening more than ever, resulting in stagnation and imbalance.
Equal opportunities encroach on almost every aspect of our daily lives. How we respond to this interaction is dependent on many factors. From birth, we are subjected to an oppressive environment that has been in situ since time began. This has been perpetuated by countless generations as the norm. The upbringing and environment people have will determine how attitudes and opinions are formed. This is not to say everyone is not capable of change though. Equal opportunities are not just about individuals it is also about countries, institutions, governments and companies implementing policies. It is not about politics or legal...

Kilimanjaro: Tucker & Team at High Camp Ready for Summit Attempt
Posted by: | July 30, 2011
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Kilimanjaro
Elevation: 15,000'
We enjoyed a good night's rest at Karanga Camp and woke to clear skies above Kilimanjaro. The hike from Karanga to our high camp, Barafu Camp at 15,000', took the team just three hours and we arrived to a nice hot lunch and every plate on the table was filled and emptied.
Having a shorter day on the trail allows the team to rest, re-hydrate and re-fuel in preparation for our summit attempt tonight and we took full advantage. Later this afternoon we discussed the details of our summit attempt from time of departure to clothing and rest breaks.
So, with an early dinner tonight we are crawling into our sleeping bags a little earlier than usual and will be donning our headlamps in a few short hours to begin our ascent. Wish us luck!

Maryland lost the most residents in the mid-Atlantic between 2007 and 2010 — and many of them moved to Virginia, according to a study released Tuesday.
Almost 40,000 Marylanders crossed the Potomac River for new homes in Virginia, taking $2.17 billion with them, according to the Internal Revenue Service data used in the study conducted by Change Maryland, a nonpartisan group advocating for less state spending and lower taxes.
The high level of loss may reflect people's dissatisfaction with Maryland's tax policy, said Jim Pettit, spokesman for Change Maryland.
"People vote with their feet," he said, adding that tax policies "absolutely" are tied to the number of people leaving the state. Critics have said Maryland has less-friendly tax policies than Virginia, and new income-tax increases for the state's highest earners went into effect Sunday.
The study analyzed data from the IRS Statistics of Income Division to show county-by-county changes in the state's tax base. The numbers represent people who have left Maryland for Virginia and do not take into account people who have moved to the state and their income levels.
According to Change Maryland, the Free State suffered a larger loss in its tax base than 43 other states.
"The benefits of a growing tax base ease the pressure to raise revenues and, conversely, a shrinking tax base often leads to a troublesome tax-and-spend downward spiral as actual revenues fail to meet estimates," said Change Maryland Chairman Larry Hogan.
Decreasing population was most prevalent in larger jurisdictions, according to Change Maryland.
Prince George's County lost more than 44,000 people, and 36,600 left Baltimore County.
Montgomery County's tax base declined by $22 million.
Change Maryland found only six states that lost more people in the three-year period: New York, California, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio and New Jersey.
Nearby, the District lost more than 1,100 residents; Pennsylvania lost more than 8,200. Delaware, Virginia and West Virginia, on the other hand, gained tax filers, according to Change Maryland.
Some Marylanders have been given the opportunity to relocate when businesses move to Virginia. Many high-profile businesses have recently chosen Virginia over its Beltway neighbor.
Virginia won a high-stakes regional battle in 2010 to lure defense giant Northrop Grumman's headquarters to the state from California. Bechtel Corp., based in Frederick, Md., announced in November it was relocating its corporate headquarters to Fairfax, bringing with it 625 jobs and an $18 million investment.
Silver Spring-based technology firm Acentia announced in January that it would invest $3.1 million in moving its headquarters to Fairfax, bringing with it 60 jobs.

The cover seems to be very good. Rain has not gone through the material as of today, just less than one month in use. Time will tell. The SW Florida sun will make all car covers fall apart with time so we will see now long this cover will last. Hopefully at least 3 years due to its cost.

My wife calls our 350Z enthusiast touring our "yacht" now because the blue sunbrella resembles a boat cover (and she loves the color!). The cover fits our 2004 perfectly. It was pretty tight going on the first time but has relaxed and is just right. We are going thru a very hot spell and the cover does keep the car much cooler even after hours in the full sun. My one concern is whether the inside is really soft enough for my triple coat paint (don't know what you call the glitter coat).

Air Vagabonds
Ferry flying may seem glamorous, but Tony Vallone's book tells the truth
The image of ferry flying is ironic, because most pilots who fly the oceans burn out early. Even many of us who've been flying overseas for several years aren't quite sure why we still do it. It's probably better than being a proctologist, but contrary to popular belief, there's little if any glory associated with the job. The solitary nature of ferry flying violates the first rule of bravery. If you plan to do something brave and romantic, make sure there's someone around to witness it.
Without trying to pop the universal bubble of enthusiasm for those on the outside looking in, I try to explain to every correspondent that there's little glamour and even less opportunity in ferry flying, especially in these days of relatively low aircraft production. Nearly half of America's light plane production is delivered overseas, and in 1979, that was half of 17,000 airplanes. These days, it's half of 1,700. You get the idea.
Insurance companies only make the situation worse. Their requirements make it virtually impossible for new pilots to break in—the traditional problem of needing experience before you can get it. (Back in the early '80s, I sometimes made ferry flights in Cheyennes, Caravans, Conquests, 421s and Dukes with no more than a one-hour checkout.)
No one ever seems to believe me when I tell them ferry flying isn't what it seems. The working hours can be atrocious, sometimes 18 to 20 hours a day, especially on the long Pacific legs in a slow airplane. One Australian ferry pilot I know, Ray Clambake, specializes in ferrying new Skyhawks, Skylanes and Stationairs from the Cessna factory in Independence, Kan., to points down under. The first over-ocean leg, 2,160 nm from Santa Barbara, Calif., to Honolulu, often requires 20 hours in a Skyhawk.
Ferry flights rarely travel to the places you see in brochures, and on those rare occasions when we do touch down in Bali, Singapore, Sydney, London, Paris or Athens, we're usually racing to catch a cheap airline flight home or eager to get some sleep before the next day's 12-hour leg. Most of us fly under contract, which means we keep whatever money remains at the conclusion of the trip, so it's in our best interest to make every trip as expeditiously and economically as possible.
Broken down on an hourly basis, the pay isn't that good, although it may seem so if you consider the day rate. Worst of all, the risk factor can be extremely high, probably right up there with crop-dusting, something that discourages most intelligent pilots, but attracts a small, lunatic fringe, of which I'm apparently included.
I've been threatening to write a book about ferry flying (and I still may), but a fellow ferry pilot and certainly one of the most experienced people in the business, Tony Vallone, just did. Vallone began flying for Globe Aero in the old days of 1974, and when I started with Lakeland, Fla.-based Globe in 1979, he was already one of the old pros with over 100 trips logged.

Action Plan for the Safeguarding of the Traditional Knowledge, Oral and Graphic Expressions of the Wajapi in Amapa
- Budget (US$): 99,293
- Source: Japan
- Dates: 07-2006/11-2008
Benefitting country(ies): Brazil
Wajapi communities in northern Amazonia have a long history of producing and using vegetable dyes to adorn their bodies with geometric motifs and symbols. Motifs of the jaguar, anaconda, butterfly and fish animate the worldview and oral traditions of the Wajapi.
The safeguarding project aims at supporting the Wajãpi in their efforts to document their skills, experiences and knowledge related to their manifold oral and graphic expressions as they are embodied, most prominently, in the kusiwa graphic system. This project will complement the broader set of activities undertaken by the "Wajãpi Programme", which started in 1992.
The project focuses on documentation and dissemination of information related to the oral and graphic expressions of the Wajãpi. The participative documentation will be undertaken by the Wajãpi themselves. The project is composed of three main lines of action: (i) undertaking of an ethnological survey, (ii) elaboration of an inventory in the form of an electronic database in close cooperation with the respective custodians, (iii) implementation of dissemination and diffusion activities on Wajãpi oral and graphic expressions" focus on both young Wajãpi and public managers working with indigenous communities in order to increase their knowledge and appreciation of Wajãpi oral and graphic expressions and the need to safeguard the context in which they are practiced.

Foam Seat Pad
Item Added to Basket
Foam Seat Pad is rated out of 5 by 10.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jennie from Excellent! These foam seats pads are excellent and very good value for money. Easily cut to size with a sharp knife. Didn't realise how much my old foam pads had compressed until I replaced with these. Very pleased and would thoroughly recommend.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Nanniesan from Thin pad I've made covers for these items to use on outdoor furniture. They hold their shape and are reasonably comfortable, but not really for very long periods. It is possible to buy thicker pads but not worth paying the quite considerable extra pounds
Date published: 2013-09-25
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sian from Excellent The foam pads are excellent value for money. The only improvement would be if they came in a more neutral colour as I had to use a lining material with my chosen covering fabric.
Date published: 2013-07-12
Rated 5 out of 5 by LizzieE from Just what my chairs ordered Used pads as a base for my patchwork covers. Using Stanley knife cut quiet easily to exact shape of my chairs. Good service, delivery etc that I have come to expect from Dunelm.

Influenster Blossom VoxBox 2015
"Long time no see Influenster!" is what I literally said to myself (again!) when I got this in the mail. I was very surprised when I got an email that I qualified for it because it's been so long! The Influenster Blossom VoxBox 2015 contains various items that is not targeted in any specific department such as beauty or wellness. It's a mix of things and I'm very excited to cover them all in future posts. Here are the contents of the box:
The Nasoya item is happily sitting in the fridge right now and I passed one of the Bear Naked goodies to my husband to snack on. The Clairol Hair Food Root Cleansing Shampoo has been in use for the past few days now. I can tell you as early as now that I'm quite impressed with that one. More details to come in the next few days!

NEW! Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Shades Summer 2015
Swim season is coming, and with it comes Poolside Paradise: seven new shades of Sally Hansen Miracle Gel™. These fresh colors capture the bright hues of summer in the breakthrough Miracle Gel™ formula that has had everyone buzzing since its launch last year!
A revolutionary development in nail color, Miracle Gel™ is the only true two-step, at-home gel manicure with no light needed. Simply apply the Miracle Gel™ color of your choice, then follow with Miracle Gel™ Top Coat. The polish is cured by natural light, so there's no need for a UV or LED lamp. Enjoy up to 14 days of color and shine, and then remove with regular nail-polish remover. (No soak—no joke!)
Available for a limited time only, the Poolside Paradise collection comprises seven vivid, sunny-day shades:
Sweet! This cotton-candy color is as girlie as it gets.
Not quite neon but far beyond basic, this creamy red-orange is a fashion-girl fave.
This energetic yellow hue is for the woman who wants to be noticed (wallflowers need not apply).
Let your manicure make a splash by donning this true cerulean blue.
It's a jungle out there. Be ready for anything with this leafy green tone.
Our #1 pedicure pick: a super-saturated, on-trend deep pink.
The truest teal, this show-stopping shade is practically made for sun-soaked days.
PRICE & AVAILABILITY: The limited-edition Poolside Paradise collection, SRP $9.99, will be available beginning May 2015 at chain drugstores and mass retailers nationwide.
I'm most excited about Dive Bar and Rum Punch. This is the first time I ever got excited about gel shades. I just never got into them really. What do you think about them?
Sally Hansen Red White & Hue
Hey guys! Today's post is on a shade released last year from Sally Hansen. It's one of eight shades from their Color Frenzy line. I actually thought about featuring this today being that it's President's Day. The color combo is on the patriotic side and I thought it's quite fitting. Here's Sally Hansen Red White & Hue.
Red White & Hue is a glitter shade made up of red, white and blue hex glitter of 2 different sizes suspended in a clear base. The glitter is the non-shiny type or not what one would associate with glitter typically. Formula is beautiful for a glitter shade and it dried pretty fast. The glitter pieces applied pretty evenly, which is a pleasant surprise since glitter shades like this can apply sparse where you may have to end up fishing for some pieces out from the bottle. Shown is one coat with no top coat.
This is definitely a nice one to have from a drugstore brand!
This should be available generally wherever Sally Hansen is retailed.
*Some products in this review may have been provided by the PR company or manufacturer for an honest opinion.*
Sally Hansen Drama Sheen
Hey guys! Today's post is on a newer shade from Sally Hansen. This actually reminds me of another shade from the same line called Blow Bubbles but a purple version of it. I like this shade better though because the duochrome property is a bit stronger. Here's Sally Hansen Drama Sheen.
Drama Sheen is a light purple with pinkish lavender shimmer. It looks like a duochrome to me with the pretty flash. As expected, the pretty flash is best observed under direct sunlight. This shade is pretty sheer but buildable. Formula was leaning on the watery side ever so slightly but it dried pretty fast. Shown is 3 coats with no top coat.
A nice one to have from a drugstore brand!
This should be available generally wherever Sally Hansen is retailed.
*Some products in this review may have been provided by the PR company or manufacturer for an honest opinion.*
Sally Hansen Hypnautical
Hey guys! Today's the day I have my biometrics appointment in the city. It's for legal paperwork and stuff. I hope it's fast since the appointment they gave me is at noon. Lunch time! My husband will be driving me there (cause it's in the city and I'm a scaredy cat with city driving) and we'll probably grab some lunch while we're there. It's been a while since I featured a Sally Hansen shade so here's Sally Hansen Hypnautical.
Hypnautical is one of their newer shades that I was most excited about. It's a flakie glitter and I love those! This shade is made up of regular and flakie iridescent glitter in a tinted green base. While it is quite stunning in the bottle, not so much alone on the nails. I thought the green tint would come through more, but sadly no. This is definitely best used other shades, especially darker ones such as black or blue. Formula was pleasant to work with and it dried pretty fast. Shown is one coat with no top coat.
I'll have to revisit this one again over other dark opaque shades, but at least this shows y'all what it looks like on its own.
This should be available generally wherever Sally Hansen is retailed.

The researchers used 20 years of research on endocrine disruptors to create a five-tiered testing system called the Tiered Protocol for Endocrine Disruption (TiPED). Manufacturers can use any of the tiers to test their products based on their needs. Each tier increases with complexity and cost, as well as with the reliability of results. As a proof of concept, the researchers tested six known endocrine disruptors using all five tests. Each disruptor was identified as being "endocrine active" by one or more of the tests.
The researchers hope that chemists and companies will incorporate these tests at the early stages of product development, allowing them to detect and avoid endocrine disrupting chemicals early on. By using the tests, manufacturers can create safer products and provide their consumers with peace of mind in knowing that the products tested are safe from endocrine disruption to the highest standards of science at any given time. The researchers plan to update the tests as new research on endocrine disruptors becomes available.

DALLAS, Aug. 24 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Women and men with a 10-year cardiovascular disease risk of 5 percent or more and normal cholesterol levels but high levels of hsCRP, a protein associated with inflammation, could reduce their risk substantially with statin therapy, according to new research.

The study, published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, an American Heart Association journal, is a new analysis of data from the randomized, placebo-controlled, double blind Justification for Use of statins in Prevention: an Intervention Trial Evaluating Rosuvastatin (JUPITER). The study included men age 50 yrs or older and women age 60 yrs or older.
For patients with elevated high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) – a protein associated with systemic inflammation – the study found that taking cholesterol-lowering statin drugs could:
"These data demonstrate that women and men with elevated hsCRP who are otherwise at 5 percent to 20 percent 10-year risk had substantive risk reductions with statin therapy even though they are currently outside United States treatment guidelines," said Paul Ridker, M.D., lead study author and director of the Center for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, Mass.
