Methodology for the assessment and classification of regional vulnerability to natural hazards in China: the application of a DEA model
This paper presents a new method for quantifying vulnerability to natural hazards in China. As an important area of vulnerability research, quantitative assessment of vulnerability has raised much focus in academia. Presently, scholars have proposed a variety of methods for quantitative assessment, which usually create an index of overall vulnerability from a suite of indicators, based on the understanding of the cause or mechanism of vulnerability. However, due to the complex nature of vulnerability, this approach caused some arguments on the indicator selection and the weight set for subindices. A data envelopment analysis–based model for the assessment of the regional vulnerability to natural disasters is presented here to improve upon the traditional methods, and a new approach for the classification of vulnerability is proposed. The vulnerability to natural hazards in China's mainland is illustrated as a case study. The result shows that the overall level of vulnerability to natural hazards in mainland China is high. The geographic pattern shows that vulnerability is highest in western China, followed by diminishing vulnerability in central China, and lowest vulnerability levels in eastern China. There is a negative correlation between the level of vulnerability and the level of regional economic development. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2013

It is this frankness that makes Mr Prescott a refreshing reminder of a previous political age. And this is not just the age of Old Labour. Contrary to popular opinion, Mr Prescott is not blindly rooted to outdated ideologies. Instead, he is an imaginative politician who was working on public-private partnerships long before the Tories took hold of the idea. Mr Prescott's approach is reminiscent of an age of open political debate, when politicians stood up for what they believed in and tried to do something about it. Demographics, under-investment and poor management have pushed public transport to the forefront of voters' minds, alongside health and education. But Mr Prescott took on this tricky problem because he believed in it - though combining it with the environment and the regions was a mistake. Against today's backdrop of carefully calculated, voter-friendly, but empty soundbites, this old political landscape of belief, debate and action seems to have been relegated to the distant horizon. Mr Prescott reassures us that it is, at least, still in sight.
For this reason, among others, Tony Blair may have been unwise to let Mr Prescott have such a rough ride. Rewarding loyalty and honesty with what amounts to political ridicule will leave a bad taste in the mouths of even the middle classes whom Mr Blair is so anxious to woo at Mr Prescott's expense. Although the attitudes entrenched in the public sector may need modernisation, there was no need for the Prime Minister to take such a blunderbuss approach and offend five million people. In the wake of the European election results, this could be a grave error. Mr Blair, now more than ever, needs Mr Prescott, who can touch parts of the Labour Party that the Prime Minister cannot reach. Frustrating your deputy at every turn is bad court politics. Mr Blair needs to do more than just keep his rivals close - he needs to keep them happy, too.
But then, Tony Blair knows that John Prescott is, ultimately, loyal. In fact, Mr Prescott is possibly too loyal for his own good. He may be a simmering volcano that needs to let off steam from time to time, but he will not erupt. And so Mr Blair thinks that he does not need the constant care given to, say, Gordon Brown. Were the Chancellor to be mocked, his plans and projects stopped in their tracks, he might make a play for the crown. Mr Prescott, on the other hand, can be calmed with a cup of tea and a reassuring chat.
Mr Prescott's supporters, however, may not be so easily placated as they watch the man who stands up for the principles for which they fought so hard rebuffed and demeaned. And they can bite, too.

Detectives investigating the suspected murder of Claudia Lawrence have extended their hunt to Cyprus.
Six months after the chef went missing, police have conceded that they remain unable to explain what has happened to the 35-year-old from York.
At a news conference yesterday, Detective Superintendent Ray Galloway, who is leading the investigation, said that a team of officers from Yorkshire had travelled to the Mediterranean to interview people she had met during her travels there.
It was also disclosed that the last text message sent to her phone on the night of her disappearance in March this year had been from a man in Cyprus. Police have yet to recover her silver Samsung D900 phone and cannot be sure she ever read it.
Mr Galloway said it had become apparent that Ms Lawrence had known several expatriates living on the island, and she had been offered work there. He said the men were being treated as potential witnesses rather than suspects. The sender of the last text message had co-operated with police inquiries, he said.
"Some of the people that we have contacted have denied knowing Claudia or being in a relationship with her. I don't believe this to be true," said Mr Galloway. One Cypriot resident she knew had been in Britain at the time of her disappearance and had yet to fully establish his whereabouts with investigating officers.
While police knowledge of her "complex" private life was growing, it remained incomplete, he said. Some who knew her were "reluctant and less than candid", with one man admitting he was acquainted with her only after police visited him for a third time.
Mr Galloway said it was possible Ms Lawrence was in Cyprus. Her passport was left at home in Heworth, York, along with bank cards when she went missing.

A Linux home entertainment server with UPnP and DLNA
In Full Stream
Thanks to protocols such as UPnP and DLNA, video, audio, and photos are distributed to TVs, gaming consoles, PCs, and smartphones without the need for configuration. Linux as a central media server is a welcome guest.
Expensive turnkey solutions such as Microsoft's Media Center or the closed source Apple AirPlay are currently making headway into many living rooms. The most widely used open platform for streaming, which supports devices from almost any manufacturer, is DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance), a standard approved by an industry consortium.
In this article, I describe how DLNA works, including the underlying protocols and device types, and how a Linux PC, an Android smartphone, and a Play-Station can link up to a television set.

Looking for something to do on a beautiful day? I have a solution for you. Grab a coffee and start the car. You won't be disappointed. I sure wasn't the first time I visited the small community of Sturgeon Point over 20 years ago. A true gem, nestled amongst the beauty of Mother Nature and all she offers to this prestigious community.
The Village of Sturgeon Point was founded in 1899, surrounded by farm land. The amazing area was soon a thriving summer vacation destination, where many memories of what cottage life was all about, were formed each day. Sturgeon Lake provided beautiful clear waters, and ample fishing. Not to forget boating opportunities that the Trent Water System provides for for the Sturgeon Point community. Sturgeon Point property owners appoint an association to ensure that the history and all its character are maintained. The Sturgeon Point Association is a non-profit Corporation and is governed by internal By-Laws and administered by a Board of Directors. All on a voluntary basis. Some of the areas within Sturgeon Point are managed by the Association. For example, the playgound area, public swimming beach and the government dock area. Association fees help support the costs of maintaining areas in the community.
This great community also boasts a unique Church, that has been a meeting place since 1915. It is available to host weddings and baptisms also.
You will also come across the Sturgeon Lake Sailing Club. This Club is a Jr. Club, teaching the CYA Sailing Program to village and area children. Learn to Sail and Race Programs run each morning thru July and August. Personally, I have watched many sailing events hosted by Sturgeon Point Sailing Club, where the open waters of Sturgeon Lake are spotted with full, beautiful white sails. A sight for sure.
A must see on your visit to this unique Community, is the Sturgeon Point Golf Club, one of the oldest courses in Ontario. It is located on 76 Golf Links Road, Village of Sturgeon Point. This is a 9 Hole, Par 36 semi-private course, with a driving range. Another unique feature of this Community is the docking availability and access to the Links. Yes, you and your clubs can take a relaxing boat ride and arrive to this destination. Visit www.sturgeonpointgolf.com for more information about this very remarkable golf course.
I love this unique community, and it is my plan to make regular visits. So, please watch my BLOG and I will keep you informed of what's happening.
Thank You.

We recently went on a guided tour of the most recent EverQuest 2 update, Scars of the Awakened. Find out more about what you can expect in Scars before heading to the comments to discuss!
If there is one thing that can be said of Sony Online Entertainment, it's this: They are the Energizer Bunny of the MMO development world. They just keep going and going on a pair of our favorite titles. Two of the genre's oldest and most venerated games, EverQuest and EverQuest 2, are still being updated and those updates aren't just token efforts either.
Read more of Suzie Ford's EverQuest 2: Exploring Scars of the Awakened.
I am so good, I backstabbed your face!
This game seems to mature like a good wine. Of course not everything is perfect but the volume and variety of activity is 2nd to none.
If you have not tried it sub for a month, get a merc and make some friends...well worth a try.
Dead? You must be on the wrong server, Freeport, for example, is rammed.
Even with the greasing of the path changes it's still one of the best out there. It's a reminder of a time when MMORPGs had depth deeper than a puddle of luke-warm pee. Expansion costs are a little extortionate but I like supporting it because I think the only way to increase the quality of MMOs (from the dire state the industry is mostly in) is to vote with my credit card rewarding gaming companies that make decent, fleshed out games and ignoring the half arsed, two dimensional efforts that have been cluttering the genre over the last 6-8 years. I just hope they won't succumb to the lowest common denominator in developing EQ Next....
I echo the sentiment that EQ2's population is alive and thriving at all levels. This game is very alt friendly so you see activity before endgame too. It may not have the subscription numbers that WoW has, but the servers are balanced where I see people leveling about the same as wow.
I have many fond memories of EQ and EQ2. There is only a thriving population if you happen across a cool guild. And the ones left are usually very mature and such, kind of locked in. And that will usually be dedicated to either gear grinding to raid, or decorating/crafting.
In most ways EQ2 for example has the most robust game play style available bar none. Which has also been SOE's nail in the coffin. It actually limits player social interaction. The newer subscription models are off putting at the least, and the "ftp" requirements are a joke - then you have the constant pop ups for this or that and bombardment of real money purchases. Even if you are a full gold member. It just seems so desperate.
I played EQ2 since beta, EQ before that, and only stopped about 8 mos ago. Mostly because I when I have tried to login after dropping gold membership can't do anything because all of my gear is not wearable anymore. Despite that the game is dead. Sadly. It just really is. So disappointing, it has so much to offer. Very rich, very deep, but as an MMO it has just pretty much shut all that down.
I feel sorry for the great devs who have made such an amazing game only to have it nuked by their corporate money grabbers (looking at you Smed :-P). It's all just very off putting to players. I had put well into over 2k towards EQ2 alone during my tenure there, only to see it keep slipping.
My gf got me GW2 for $50 same as EQ2 sells each expansion, and was surprised how big and beautiful that world is. And I've not had to spend a penny more. But have because it was more fun, better and just something I enjoyed.
Compare the population in a major city in the remaining servers of EQ2 to one of the cities in GW2. A half dozen vs hundreds at the minimum. It's an MMO game after all. And PvP forget about it, crazy fun!
An MMO needs people. That's what makes it fun. Server merge all of EQ2's servers together you still wont see half the active pop you see in any one server on GW2 or that silly WoW game. Sad.
As a last side note I don't even think Sony backs SOE game's. After E3 and the launch of PS4 there has not been a word I've seen for a single SOE game. There is no backing, perfering to highlight Oblivion Online as a feature launch. Nothing about FR, PS2, or EQ in any way... just saying. EQnext was totally thrown aside once GW2 and other games came out.
Despite that, will they ever try to reconnect with the player base again? Or will you all just keep doing what you've been doing and throw more money away on a dead end game?
Well that and the 5 posts above ^^^
vs. several hundreds on a start up MMO here. Sorry EQ is dead.... :_( sigh

Blue Microphones Spark Digital pictures and eyes-onPocket-lint
Blue Microphones is bringing a touch of its studio microphone range to consumers in the (interesting) shape of the digital edition of its Spark mic.
Coming with a range of connectors, including USB and iPad, the Spark Digital will be aimed more at the home musician or voice-over artist than, perhaps, its Yeti, Yeti Pro and Snowball stablemates, but offers more fidelity and sensitivity thanks partly to a larger diaphragm capsule.
It comes with the same capsule and analogue pre-amp stage design as the original analogue Spark, but now adds analogue to digital conversion in the microphone itself, ensuring a clean feed into the recording device.
It's also the first of Blue Microphones' line-up to come with a dedicated iPad connector. As Blue's CEO John Maier told Pocket-lint when we met him for a briefing in London, this has been added partly in reaction to a growing number of GarageBand fans who use the app to do more than just create beeps and plops using the automatic modes.
He also told us that, because it comes with a lush, protective carry bag, it could help guitarists and the like record their music when touring.
In construction, the base is similar to the Yeti and the original Spark, although it isn't as solid as the former because it doesn't need to support as big a weight. And the microphone unit floats on a sprung bed (shockmount) in order to reduce vibrations being picked up. It can even be completely unscrewed from the base unit, in case you wish to mount it elsewhere.
There are two buttons on the Spark Digital. One is a switch that lets you alter Focus Control, offering two different sonic signatures. The other is a combined headphone volume/gain control that changes mode when you push it in.
It is strongly advised to use the headphone socket on the included cable, rather than take the audio from an iPad itself, because to do so would add latency. As Maier put it to us, how can you accurate play an instrument when the audio is coming back at you like an echo?
Sadly, at present, we've not been able to try out the Spark Digital mic for recording quality because the model we saw was a prototype and the venue too public. You can rest assured that when the consumer version is ready, we'll give it a proper test.
However, we're more than impressed with its retro aesthetics and solid build quality. And are happy to see that Yeti has swapped the orange body of the Spark for a more reserved blue one.
The Blue Microphones Spark Digital will be coming to the UK in October. It'll be priced in the US at around $199, but a UK price is yet to be revealed. We wouldn't be too surprised if it was the equivalent in pounds, considering tax will be included here, but individual State tax will be added on top over there.

The day of the dinosaur is dead: looking back at dispute resolution week - .PDF file.
By Suzanne Kingston
We are now at the end of dispute resolution week (DR) promoting #keepingitoutofcourt. This is not only a constructive and sensible objective but surely the way family lawyers need to go. There has been a huge shift in the last five to 10 years and long may it continue.
Nearly all of the mainstream commentators in the world of family law advocate the use of dispute resolution and not court. Firstly, in the Family Justice Review final report, David Norgrove found 'a system that is not a system, characterised by mutual distrust and lack of leadership, by incoherence and without solid evidence-based knowledge about how it really works'.
More recently the judges have come out in support of DR — Mr Justice Coleridge is clear: current divorce and financial provision law, he said, was 'designed in a wholly different era to deal with a wholly different society and way of life' and is no longer fit for purpose. Further, this issue was recently highlighted by the President Lord Justice Munby in the seventh view from the president's chambers, in which he stated that the court system has lost the respect of its users…

This review is from: SYBA PCI-Express 1-Port Parallel/Printer Card with Low Profile Bracket - RoHS Model SD-PEX10005
Pros: I suppose this would work if you have the correct drivers.
Cons: The only drivers I have found for this product are for kernel 2.4 and 2.6 but I am running a newer kernel. When I contacted their support they replied back with a blanket statement saying that it is Windows only even though it comes with the two Linux drivers I already mentioned.
So with no working drivers for my OS of choice this is a waste of money even as cheep as it is.

[author: David Spiro]
Earlier today, the Supreme Court of Canada heard arguments in the Garron appeal. The reasons for judgment of the Tax Court of Canada and the Federal Court of Appeal, as well as the factum of each party, may be found at our earlier post.
Appellants' Oral Argument
Counsel for the Appellants argued that the Income Tax Act contemplates that the residence of a trust is to be determined by the residence of the trustee. It does so through a combination of subsections 104(1) and 104(2). As a trust itself has no legal personality, Parliament has created a "deemed individual" character for trusts in the form of the trustee under subsection 104(2). In the Appellants' view, subsection 104(1) is critical as it provides the "linkage" between the trust and the trustee.
Justice Abella wondered whether the phrase "ownership or control" in subsection 104(1) suggests that Parliament intended that the "control" test apply in the context of determining the residence of a trust, as the Crown contends.
Justices LeBel and Karakatsanis wondered why one would look to the residence of the trustee when, under subsection 104(2), the trust is considered a separate person.
Justice Rothstein wondered why a trust should be treated differently than a corporation in the sense that both are created in similar ways and both have similar "locational attributes". In other words, why can't we locate the trust outside the place the trustee resides?
Justice Moldaver wondered whether the phrase "unless the context otherwise requires" in subsection 104(1) suggests that Parliament did not want trustees to be set up as straw men outside Canada simply to avoid tax. Counsel for the Appellants responded that the phrase "unless the context otherwise requires" means that in a provision where it makes no sense for "trust" to mean "trustee" it does not mean "trustee" (e.g. subsection 108(6)). He also responded that Parliament addresses avoidance concerns elsewhere in the Income Tax Act, including section 94. He submitted that the rule for the determination of residence of a trust is not the answer to tax avoidance.
Counsel for the Appellants drew to the Court's attention the (a) affiliated persons rule and (b) qualified environmental trusts rule as both deal with the residence of trustees (as opposed to the residence of trusts). This makes it clear that the residence of the trustees is what really matters and confirms the "linkage" between trust and trustee.
Counsel for the Appellants also noted that the plan undertaken in this case would not work today in light of the amendments to section 94 of the Income Tax Act and the provisions of the Income Tax Conventions Interpretation Act.
Justice Abella asked whether, in light of the fact that both corporations and trusts manage property, the test ought to be the same for each (i.e. the central management and control test) and where they manage the property should be determined in the same way for both. Counsel for the Appellants characterized such an approach as "superficial".
Finally, counsel for the Appellants argued that adoption of the "formalistic" central management and control test will not eliminate the possibility of manipulation. One could arrange that all meetings at which substantive decisions are made occur outside Canada. Accordingly, there is no reason to prefer that test over the traditional residence of the trustee test.
Crown's Oral Argument
Counsel for the Crown argued that the central management and control test is the proper test for determining the residence of a trust for income tax purposes. She argued that such a test is consistent with the legislative scheme. She also argued that the rationale for the application of the test in the trust context is the same as the rationale for the application of the test in the corporate context.
Justice Moldaver asked, if Parliament intended the same rule to apply to trusts as to corporations, why the Income Tax Act did not provide that a trust is deemed to be a corporation rather than an individual. Crown counsel responded that someone has to be assigned responsibility for administrative functions, as noted by the Federal Court of Appeal, and that is the trustee under subsection 104(1). Such administrative functions include filing returns, receiving assessments, filing objections and appeals and paying tax debts of the trust.
Citing De Beers Consolidated Mines, Justice Rothstein asked what the result would be if those who actually controlled the trusts met in Barbados and that is where they made all the substantive decisions (i.e. the key decisions affecting the trust property). After noting that you can't just leave Canada in order to "paper" such decisions if they were actually made in Canada, Crown counsel admitted that such a trust would be resident in the Barbados if indeed all substantive decisions were made in Barbados.
Justice LeBel asked whether one would have to perform a complete factual enquiry in order to make such a determination. Crown counsel said yes, just as one would do in the case of a corporation in order to determine the place of central management and control.
Crown counsel listed a number of similarities between corporations and trusts particularly with respect to the managment of property as a function of each. The question then becomes: where is that management exercised?
Justice Deschamps asked Crown counsel about the two statutory examples cited by counsel for the Appellants, namely, the affiliated persons rule and the qualified environmental trust rule. She argued that those rules simply dictate where the trustees must reside and nothing else.
Counsel concluded by noting that the central management and control test has been applied for one hundred years and that test should now be adopted to determine where a trust is resident.
The Crown's Alternative Arguments: Section 94 and GAAR
Junior counsel for the Appellants and the Crown spent approximately ten minutes each arguing the section 94 and GAAR points. There were no questions directed to the Appellants on these points, but several questions were directed to the Crown.
The Crown contends that even if the trusts were resident in Canada (under either test), the trusts should be deemed not to have been resident in Canada under paragraph 94(1)(b) (the "contribution test"), as the Federal Court of Appeal concluded, on the basis that the trusts "acquired" property without actually "owning" it. Junior counsel for the Crown was challenged on this point by Justice Rothstein. He was also challenged when he argued that the GAAR applied. Justice LeBel admitted that he had "some problems at this stage" with the application of the GAAR under the circumstances. In addition, Justice Rothstein questioned whether there could be a GAAR case if all substantive decisions had actually made in the Barbados and, therefore, the trusts had satisfied the Crown's central management and control test. Junior counsel for the Crown responded by contending that there would be a GAAR case as such trusts, in light of the fact that they have no function to serve, would be artificial entities and devoid of economic substance.
After a very brief reply by counsel for the Appellants, judgment was reserved.

Romans 8:35-39New International Version (NIV)
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written:
"For your sake we face death all day long;
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[b] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

They tore at heads with teeth like starving wolves, their clubs smashed of bones in sicking crunches, mens cries echoed over the plains of Siberia. Asian men of order charge with fierceness and precision, yet they charged blind, and blind men making bloodied men on a battlefield. The Hanseaticians tore the the Asian men to pieces ripping through there armour to gouge there sticks and teeth into there soft flesh. Cries of deathly horns and blood went on for a day and by the end no animal dared go near the sight of the battle of Meskene.

Rather than teaching them an existing arrangement of the song, I created a sketch of a new one and began working with them on developing the arrangement.

Fix It Again Tony or Fling It Around Turns? Only time will tell...
I wasn't actually looking to purchase a Fiat when I came across my 1979 124 Spider towards the end of summer in 2008. In fact, I had been searching the daily classifieds for a budget-priced Alfa Romeo Spider — two terms that are never used together by anyone who's actually owned an Alfa before. Fortunately, I hadn't, though I'd come close on several occasions, and the 'Staff and Serpent'-badged Spider was a car that had been on my radar before I'd even gotten my driver's license.
My daily scouring of local classifieds was quickly proving fruitless, with all the good cars (and even the not-so-good cars) proving to be just out of my spending range. That's when the Craigslist advertisement came across my computer screen, offering a very nice looking Fiat Spider at price even my woefully impoverished self could afford. A quick phone call found that the car was owned by a young producer type in West Hollywood named James.
It seemed James was finding his line of work more lucrative than my own, and he was trading up to a flashy new Range Rover. I was welcome to stop by and have a look at the car, but it was suddenly having trouble starting. Because of that, and the need for a fast down payment, he was willing to knock a significant chunk of change off the price. He had no idea what was wrong with the Fiat.
That night, I swung by for a look. Though it was hard to see in the dimly-lit garage, the car appeared to be solid with no rust and the body was straight with dusty, but decent paint and no major dents. The interior was well worn, however, and the convertible top was ripped. True to word, the car's 2.0-liter twin-cam engine would crank but not start, even after wiggling a few wires and connections. James and I talked price for a while and I left to think things over.
At home, I settled into the most satisfying stage of any car purchase — the anticipatory stage. This is the pre-purchase stage where money still sits safely in the bank but is ready to be called on at a moment's notice. At this point, a starry-eyed car buyer is nearly certain that the object of his desire will be purchased, but with nothing in stone, the world is still his oyster. Many experts agree that the euphoria experienced in this stage is second only to that of being in the lustful early days of a new romance. The bookshelf is rummaged through for books and copies of old car magazines with past reviews and buyers guides. Model-specific Web forums are like treasure troves ready for discovery. After a week of this, I was an obsessive, raving madman — speaking of nothing but the virtues of the Fiat 124 Spider to anyone who dared to listen.
I drove back to James' apartment the following weekend with a friend, cash in hand, to see the car in better light and try to get it started. Just as I arrived, James was coming around the corner in the Fiat. It was running.
"It decided to fire up," James yelled. "Want to take it for a spin?"
That's when the giddy, 'this car could be in my garage tonight' feeling took over, and after that I don't remember a whole lot besides exchanging a stack of $100 bills for a pair of car keys and a pinkslip. There was a quick test drive around the block in there somewhere and I do recall my friend pointing out a few cosmetic flaws and asking silly, irrelevant questions like "do the lights work?" and "has it passed emissions testing?", but generally I was blinded by a dangerous mix of adrenaline and impulse so potent that James might just as well have been holding a gun to my head. The car was now mine.
Deal done, I drove to the nearest gas station to fuel up for the 30-mile trip home, buddy following in the car we had arrived in. As the Fiat's tank filled with 10 gallons of premium, a middle-aged man filling up his Jetta asked "Hey, is that an Alfa?"
"No, it's a Fiat," I told him.
"Oh," he replied. "Fix It Again Tony, right?"
I smiled nervously. The journey had begun.
Stay tuned to motortrendclassic.com for future updates on Rory's 1979 Fiat 124 Spider, as well as other staff-owned classics.

So i went down to Beauti Instinct for facial yesterday and oh boy, i'm so glad i took time away from work to do the treatment cus now my skin is soooo awesome! I'll be doing without foundation because i love how it looks naturally! Last night, before sleep, my boyfriend touched my face and went like "Wahhhh so smooth and soft!" and i felt my own face and couldn't stop touching my face! It was soooo soft & felt so healthy! I touched myself to sleep. Lol.
Aunty Rita did the new treatment she brought in on my face called the C-Vital and SERIOUSLY, THE MAKERS OF THE PRODUCTS ARE GENIUSES!
The result?
Am i exaggerating the awesome-ness of the treatment?
You can see in the before picture, my skin's pretty dry and dull. In the after picture (which was just an hour later), my skin's glowing, my skin tone is more even and i'm fairer!
Stress, pollution, too much sun, abrupt temperature changes produce free radicals that damage skin cells accelerating the appearance of signs of premature ageing in the form of wrinkles, expression lines, loss of elasticity and luminosity.
The treatment is SO SHIOK. Like 30 min of face massage. :D I love face massages! You really feel so much better both inside out after the treatment.
If you are keen on doing the above treatment i did...
Mention "Tammy Treats" (hehe so cute right) for
Silk Peel + C Vital + Eyes and Neck Treatment = $299 (U.P $856)
