Really pretty! I can't believe how cheap they are on fragrance direst! Will have to check it outReplyDelete
You can find some amazing deals on there :) Especially with the high end makeup like Urban Decay xxDelete
These sound really good, and the colours look gorgeous! I really want to try one, especially for the great price! :)xoReplyDelete
I'd really recommend you picking one up considering they're the same price as cheap makeup brands! xxDelete
Such cute photos! I really want some Dainty Doll products, I'm so pale I think I could deffo do with some!ReplyDelete
I think I'll go for the powder one, it's good to know that the cream one doesn't last very long. I always find that with cream blushers, they seem to just fade!
Yes I agree about cream blushers fading easily! Give a powder one a go, they're amazing! xxDelete
I've bought so many of these, I am so pleased with them. They're all gorgeous, and I think they're amazing at the price of £1.99!!! xxReplyDelete

I think I'm definitely going to try out You are My Sunshine, such a pretty colour for such a great price! Great review as always Amie :) xxReplyDelete
Definitely give it a go :) Thank you! xxDelete
These are all sorts of perfection; I wish I was a pale skinned girl so I could have and love them for myself!!ReplyDelete
I wouldn't call myself very pale and they still work well on my skin tone :) I think they would suit yours too! xxDelete
i'd really like to try these!ReplyDelete
Becky xoxo
I'm glad you like them :) xxDelete
I have these blushes, along side the whole damn range, opps! They're fab for pale skin gals, but I agree with you about the patchiness of the cream blusher, it seems to move a lot on my face for some reason xReplyDelete
Ahh I'd love to own the whole range haha! Yes, hopefully investing into a good brush will help :) xxDelete
lovely blushes, might give them a try. Nice review.ReplyDelete
K xx
Thank you! xxDelete
Thanks for doing a review on these, I didn't really realise that Dainty Doll did anything other than the foundations, since they get reviewed a ton!ReplyDelete
Amy| The Little Koala Blog ♥Replies
That's okay :) I actually haven't seen very many reviews on the foundations, mainly the lipsticks, blushers and concealers! xxDelete
I'm not a fan of cream blushers, so I'd probably try out the powder ones. It's nice to know the brand is focused towards pale skinned girls!ReplyDelete
No, cream blsuhers won't be for everyone, but I think this will be lovely to use in the summer for a pink flush on the cheeks :) xxDelete
yay im so glad you like these too! i bought one of the cream blushes but havnt used it yet cos i dont know what brush to use! Charlie xxReplyDeleteReplies
I have the same problem! I'm thinking Real Techniques? They're always a winner! xxDelete
i brought some of the dainty doll things on fragrance direct. i have the 'you are my sunshine' blush and i love it! i also got the concealer, and its really good! xxxxxReplyDelete
It's such a pretty blush :) I heard that the concealers have a very dry/ matte finish so I didn't pick one up :(! xxDelete
Oo I love fragrance direct! I think I also got you are my sunshine ^_^ so gorgeous.ReplyDelete
lovely post xoxoxReplies
It's such a great site, you can find so many amazing bargains! xxDelete
I love that paper roses colour! It is so nice for spring :)ReplyDelete
Yes I agree :) It gives a lovely flush of colour to the cheeks that is perfect for Spring! xxDelete
Thanks for the review :)ReplyDelete
Much love,
Hi Amie, thanks for stopping by my blog earlier - I think i'm away to have a fragrance direct haul thanks to you! I have never tried Dainty Doll but I have read a lot of reviews. I love the names of these blushers, and the colours are really nice. I have extremely pale skin so think I will give them ago. Look forward to reading more from you.

While we were in Goldenleaf, Balik had his own adventure. He learned that the Stonelost had a stronghold beneath Ptolus called Thornhold. He and Ghelryn went to Dhovel's Treasures in Oldtown and met Dhovel Amberhold, who may know about Thornhold. Balik and Ghelryn learned that Dhovel's cousin, Malgan, an adventuring sort who lives in a manor in Midtown, should know about Thornhold. The two overheard the parrot next door at Imzel's Mystics talk about the great deal Dhovel had offered them. With the key to Malgan's manor in hand, the two went to Imzel's Mystics to talk to the parrot. Imzel eventually asked them if she could help with anything. After explaining his situation, Balik realized he has three children in his care: Aldren, Graham, and I.
Upon our return to Ptolus, Aldren and Graham ran into Janelle Thornboro at the Inverted Pyramid. She made them sign some paperwork having to do with the disciplinary hearing.
The next day, I awoke and found my father talking to two Viridian Lords. One called Elaine took me outside and taught me how to make the wild armor that is characteristic of the Viridian Lords. I went to meet up with the others at the Onyx Spider, where I learned that the disciplinary hearing at the Inverted Pyramid went well. Aldren and Graham were called in for questioning because there is a warlock on the loose. Note: Warlock magic is a new type of magic to Ptolus and is therefore suspect.
After catching up, the group of us went to Oldtown to do some shopping. Balik got the address of Malgan's manor, 23 New Fortune St, and I got a lovely hairpin set with a black pearl. We will be able to sell any jewels we find to Dhovel, who will make things out of them and sell them for a profit. Next door, Aldren was talking to Imzel about hollyblight plants. They are both alchemists and if he brings her three hollyblight plants, she will mentor him. Note: Imzel is also a member of the Inverted Pyramid and the parrot seems to be her familiar.
We went to Malgan's manor at 23 New Fortune St. There were statues representing the dwarven gods, which correspond to the clock face Balik has. In the manor, we battled a spectator, which is sort of a lesser beholder, and some noble skeletons. In the end, we found a dwarven shopping list and a few books. Malgan has an enchanted kettle that turns water into tea!
Balik thought we might have luck talking to the Delver's Guild. Thinking that Thornhold may be on the Delver's Guild maps, we joined their ranks and went on a shopping spree next door at Ebbert's Outfitters with our new Delver's Guild discount.

Sheffield Steelers began the job of dismantling Cardiff Devils' lead at the top with a resounding 6-1 win over Nottingham Panthers.
In one of their six games in hand, they narrowed the gap to 11 points.
Cardiff are on a six-match winning streak so Sheffield cannot take a night off. And they certainly didn't do that on Sunday evening.
Paul Thompson's men, who had carved out a 5-4 road win in Nottingham the previous night and were two imports down to injury, (Zack Fitzgerald and Andreas Valdix) played some of their best hockey of the season in the opening 20 minutes.
Their passing was crisp, their play direct and their forwards skating with ferocious pace, using every inch of the big Sheffield Arena ice.
In the second shift of the game, defenceman Mike Ratchuk set up an attack in which Robert Dowd scored from a weird angle (1.42.)
On a power play, Levi Nelson whacked in a cracker from just above the left circle.
And then another howitzer, this time from Davey Phillips, the d-man smashing the puck as he skated backwards. It looked like another seven goal mauling was on the cards but goaltender Jindrich Pacl stopped Dowd and Jesse Schultz and Markus Nilsson was a ginger whisker wide.
Nottingham, playing their 700th league game, were being made to look slow and pedestrian. Nilsson's speed and stick-handling skills was too hot for them to handle whenever he was on the pad.
Pacl got off to a wretched start to the middle period, the netminder falling back on to a trickling puck directed by Nelson and seemed only to help it over the line (12;13.)
Then the value of passing accuracy was underlined by both sides. John Amstrong's short inside switch allowed Ratchuk to make it 5-0.
But at the other end, Jeff Brown's pass across the slot isolated Ervins Mustukovs and set up Logan Macmillan to open Panthers' account (29.39.)
It was a goal that excited some ironic cheers from the travelling support. The strike, though, gave Nottingham some hope, of sorts.
And penalties to Jonathan Philipps and Nilsson gave them opportunities on the Power Play.
But Steelers' penalty killing is quite an art.
And when they got back to full strength they killed the game off as man of the match Ratchuk scored his second of the night.
After that 54th minute goal, Nottingham were lambs to the slaughter.
They ran out of steam and ideas - and left to reflect on a weekend of double defeat to the champions.

Fourth Annual Board of Directors Survey 2013 - Concerns About Risks Confronting Boards
- Introduction
- About the Research
- Key Observations and Insights
- Concerns About Risks Confronting Boards
This 4th annual edition of our Concerns About Risks Confronting Boards continues to explore the trends, changes, and issues facing American boards today. Reputational risk, whether related to financial, regulatory compliance, fraud or privacy and data security issues, has been exacerbated by the growing use and impact of social media. It is paramount that boards and executives remain attentive to and ahead of the curve on challenges that exist not only in operations and reporting, but in the digital domain.
In this edition, we review the general trends out of the 235 respondents. However, we have introduced a new facet to our analysis: We identify the similarities and differences between those serving on public, private, not-for-profit, and private equity-owned boards.
This report delivers insight based on our findings, professional expertise, and the conversations we have with clients and contacts. We welcome the opportunity to further these discussions with you.
About the Research
EisnerAmper's 4th annual Board of Director's Survey was designed to gain insights into the risks being discussed and addressed in American boardrooms. Directors were polled via a web-based survey sent to select EisnerAmper contacts and members of the NACD Directorship database.
This survey was conducted during January and February 2013 and measures the opinions of 235 directors serving on the boards of publicly-traded, private, not-forprofit and private equity-owned companies across a variety of industries. Directors' participation on key committees is identified in the chart below.*
While 12% of our respondents did not currently participate on any committees, 40% served "other" committees. To help create a better picture of the participants in this survey, and to better understand the concerns of the issues being addressed by their boards, the following highlights the responses provided by multiple respondents detailing the "other" committees:
- Executive Committee
- Risk Oversight
- Finance
- Development/Fundraising
- Governance
- Education/Training
- Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility
- IT Planning/Oversight
- Diversity
- Investment
EisnerAmper Intelligent Data (EisnerAmper ID) uses proprietary market research conducted by EisnerAmper and leading market research firms, along with analysis from EisnerAmper's partners and principals, to produce insightful articles, events and data designed to educate and stimulate discussion on the issues of most interest to business leaders today.
The survey results were prepared by EisnerAmper and are accompanied by EisnerAmper's observations of industry trends and issues. While EisnerAmper believes the information is from reliable sources, it should not be relied upon as, or considered to be, investment or legal advice.
* Where applicable, directors were able to select more than one response.
Key Observations and Insights
It's Always the One That Got Away…
Our data shows that the most significant concern for boards today is the issue over which they have increasingly less control: public perception or, as it's become known, reputational risk. Driven by brand experience, service, product, quality, integrity, ethics and fraud and amplified by the growing power of social media, public perception is quickly and easily swayed with statements, pictures, and stories that live forever.
As reflected in the responses relating to risk management, not-for-profit organizations are quick to recognize reputational risk, most likely since it can dramatically impact their lifeline: fundraising. This is perhaps best demonstrated by the change in the Susan G. Komen Foundation's funding decisions in response to overwhelming social media activity.
Recognizing and Addressing Risk: Inconsistent Approaches
Internal audit is most widely utilized by public companies. It makes sense that public companies have, by far, made the most positive changes in the use of the internal audit process: adding staff, outsourcing functions and/or increasing coverage. That trend has existed for some time. And, while it has slowed a bit this year, public companies continue to focus on investing in its use.
Responses from board members serving on private equity-owned entities indicate they do not seem to derive value from internal audit.
Based on the responses to our survey, it is hard to tell where and how not-for-profit boards are identifying risk. From the numbers, it is not primarily from internal audit. It seems that board meetings are utilized to address (not necessarily identify) risk. In this case, this insular method, using those closest to the organization, does not take advantage of the vantage point of external resources — or even distinct internal departments.
In addition to the use of internal audit, close to 50% of public company boards indicated they had comprehensive, fully implemented enterprise risk management (ERM) programs.
From what we've observed, the use of internal audit and ERM programs enable boards to spend less time addressing specific operational risks. Optimally, boards should be guiding strategy and managing direction and risks, not overseeing day-to-day operational issues. Therefore, companies without well-developed ERM programs and with under-staffed and/or under-utilized internal audit functions may want to reconsider their investments in these areas.
Board Focus and Investment
In addition to risk and reputation management, strategic direction had the attention of all boards.
An overwhelming majority of board members — 87% — felt it was important to not just discuss strategic direction, but invest in it. The key focus was on internal betterment: expansion, IT infrastructure, and staffing. While 68% of public companies saw opportunity for investment in business process improvement, all others (private, not-for-profit, and private equity-owned entities) saw an even greater opportunity to strengthen and invest in this area. This may be due to the fact that these boards tend to be more focused on and involved in day-to-day operations than public company boards.
A distinct difference emerged with mergers and acquisitions: Half of public company boards, as compared to one-third of all other boards, felt the topic warranted attention, a drop from previous years.
Company Leadership: Expectations Increasing
With new cyber threats, new regulations and an increasingly dynamic environment, boards expect top company management to expand their expertise. Ironically, with a good deal of concern and focus on the digital world, CEOs or CFOs (for all companies) could stand to improve their understanding of cyber security and how to better align business goals to IT. Many of the other failing grades can be attributed to the type of companies or roles in which they occur: CFOs know tax but CEOs do not. All entities think their CFOs are ready for IFRS, except for not-for-profits. And, finally, perhaps indicative of ownership/management styles, private equity-owned companies do not believe that their CEOs have a strong understanding of broad-based risk assessment.
Despite the range of knowledge, one thing is clear: To adequately manage operations and address risk and the ever-changing environment, executives today must make education and professional development a priority — not only for their teams, but themselves.
Diversity: Women
The recent uptick in research and news discussing the benefits of women on boards led us to add this new dimension to our survey. Surprisingly, 20% of boards have not officially engaged in discussion around women or diversity. Of those that have discussed it, just over 10% felt that women on boards had no impact and the issue did not warrant any further action.
The outside research shows clear benefits, including reduced restatements, overall fiscal responsibility, etc. However, this can be due to simply a forward-thinking board and those that are paying more attention to a variety of details. It is also possible, that the women being recruited are so carefully scrutinized, they are bringing the necessary level of insight and expertise to raise the boards' performance. Maybe, as the Grateful Dead have surmised, "that's right, the women are smarter."
Concerns About Risks Confronting Boards
In framing our survey, it is important to begin by understanding the risks at the forefront of directors' concerns.
Since we began this survey four years ago, reputational risk has increased 19%, to become the primary concern of boards. It is close to 20% higher than every other issue. In spite of increased regulatory scrutiny every year, compliance, while still consistently garnering concern from close to 60% of the respondents, is taking a back seat to reputational risk. Cyber security is a growing concern, likely due to its connection to reputational risk. In light of previous years, concern about CEO succession planning has decreased.
After making their selections, respondees were asked why these areas were of most concern to boards. The responses showed understanding that reputation is difficult to build, but important to maintain. In addition, the answers demonstrated that whether a product or service business, public perception is a fragile asset. Here are selected responses from the directors:
- It's the most critical asset
- Our brand is everything. Also, in financial services, setting right an error can be expensive.
- My companies have significant brand recognition which has to be protected and enhanced
- [My company] has a superb brand name in the energy industry and we work diligently to preserve it.
- As service entities, loss of reputation is greatest
- Reputational risk and cyber security/IT risk seem to be two of the underserved risks that can lethally threaten an organization
It is clear that reputational risk is a dominant concern — and links to many other issues and more "tangible" concerns.
When asked to identify the top three reputational risks, the majority of responses could be assigned to the following categories:
- Product quality/liability/customer satisfaction
- Public perception/brand
- Integrity/fraud/ethics/FCPA
In addition to reputational risk, regulatory compliance is another top concern for directors. Specifically, more than half of the directors were concerned or very concerned about accounting standards and tax.
While accounting standards have always ranked highly, for the past two years, only 20% or so of respondents identified tax as "of concern" to their boards. This year, that number increased to more than 60%.
"In light of recent FCPA issues and the efforts required to comply with the conflict minerals reporting requirements, more and more companies are reaching out to their supplier community and other significant stakeholders to work jointly on issues of ethics, and compliance."Peter Bible, CPA
Chief Risk Officer
EisnerAmper LLP
"The FASB Convergence Standards [for Revenue, Leases and Financial Instruments] will represent some of the most pervasive standards issued by the board. More importantly, these standards will be principles-vs.-rulesbased, which will create a need for audit committees to understand management's judgments, estimates and assumptions more so than today."Peter Bible, CPA
Chief Risk Officer
EisnerAmper LLP
There is clear concern about the pending new guidance around revenue recognition, lease accounting and financial instruments. This is also reflected in the significant jump in concern surrounding accounting standards and tax. Dodd-Frank is also clearly on the radar for more than half of the respondents.
While energy and the JOBS Act gain a lot of media coverage, they are of lesser concern to most boards. Additional comments from the directors participating in this survey indicated a surprising lack of knowledge of the details and scope of the JOBS Act.
The relevance of the other issues identified were highly dependent on the type of boards on which the directors served:
"Over the past few years, the not-for-profit sector as a whole has been increasingly challenged by a growing need for its services at a time when funding has become more difficult to obtain. Regulation and scrutiny of the sector continues to tighten and as 'unrestricted' or administrative monies are harder to obtain, many of these organizations are 'doing more with less.' The risks are obvious and far ranging. They include a decline in financial controls, an inability to address current economic issues, and an inability to strategize for future opportunities. This trend is made further worrisome by the increasing retirement of top leadership in the sector. These are obviously areas of concerns for the board members of these organizations."Julie Floch, CPA
Partner-in-Charge, Not-for-Profit Services Group
EisnerAmper LLP
Risk may be addressed through different approaches and the use of entities within and outside an organization. Their roles and performance may drive the success of risk mitigation.
While all of the respondents clearly lean towards a favorable view of how risk is being addressed by the entities above, one individual explained "there may be 'room for improvement' even if things are not 'poor.'"
Many comments focused the effort on the management team — the right personnel (and their knowledge/competence), strategic planning, and/or ongoing discussion of the top risks. Additionally, a number of board members touted the enterprise risk management function and related programs — whether existing or planned.
Interestingly enough, one director mentioned "public input" — a strategy few, if any others, seem to have explored at all. Another director said "Boards are focusing too much time and effort to financial risk and CEO 'single-point' of information."
The breakdown among the directors serving on different types of boards becomes useful in understanding how the boards and organizations function in relation to risk identification:
Last year's survey indicated close to 80% of boards were using internal audit to address identified risks. This year, we inquired as to the value of internal audit in identifying risk:
However, internal audit, on average, has a far more significant impact managing risk for directors of public companies:
"Considering private equity-owned companies are geared towards medium term exits, including IPOs, it may be prudent to more closely emulate public companies' use of internal audit. Despite this finding, behavior dictates internal audit will likely become more important to these entities as they get closer to an exit."Steven Kreit, CPA
Audit Partner
EisnerAmper LLP
This is something both private and private equity-owned companies may want to consider in strategic planning — especially when you consider the changes being proposed to internal audit functions, by each type of organization:
Directors involved with public companies, relying heavily on internal audit for protection, continue to invest the most in its growth.
Risk is managed differently by every company. One of the more widely discussed, commonly accepted tools is an ERM program. However, the low level of implementation of these programs is significant:
Public companies, overall, were 10% more likely to have comprehensive, fully implemented programs — and were about 10% less likely to be without any program.
In addition to addressing risk, directors are concerned with a number of strategic topics affecting their companies. Of the overarching topics identified, strategic direction continued to be the most important issue; issues like finance and mergers and acquisitions depended heavily on the type of organization:
There has been a significant decline in the steadily waning interest in mergers and acquisitions, with the exception of public companies — where it has risen. And, while commercial real estate regained some traction, it continues to garner the least attention for investment.
These opportunities, however, were more clearly understood when viewed by the type of board on which the directors serve. That being said, social impact was of relatively low concern across all boards — despite the attention it draws in the media.
"Organizations, whether public, private, not-forprofit or private equityowned, are challenged with addressing key risks on a continuous basis, beginning with the board and C-level suite. Clearly, they seek improvement through their communication forums and committees. Those with ERM programs are finding better communication and accountability amongst the management team and other key members of the organization, while being able to more efficiently advance the strategic and operations objectives of the organization."Jim Mack, CPA
Consulting Services Group
EisnerAmper LLP
Considering the range of issues that impact organizations, the knowledge of the functional leadership, in addition to the directors, can have a tremendous effect on the implementation of the strategy set by the board and the management of identified risk. Everyone may know what risk-based issues are important, but do the CEO and CFO understand them and know how to address them?
For example, earlier in this report, cyber security rated in the top three concerns. Yet, it was one of the topics on which CEOs and CFOs were least knowledgeable. (Perhaps most interesting in today's environment was one director's statement: "…most fellow directors cannot spell IT.")
Considering our 2011 survey indicated that directors were increasingly (73%, up 10% from 2010) turning to company management to better understand the issues facing the organizations, it is clearly of value for CEOs and CFOs to have a strong grasp and deep understanding of the operational concerns related to risk.
"Quite simply, director education is more important than ever. Directors that keep fully abreast of the latest governance issues and research pertaining to risk prevention and mitigation will clearly come out ahead in 2013 and for years to come."Christopher Y. Clark
NACD Directorship Magazine
While the breakdown among directors serving on different types of companies may provide insight to operations and functions, it continues to beg the question of who is taking ownership of these issues on a daily basis and are they really suited to do so?
In November 2012, Melissa Korn of The Wall Street Journal blogged on a commonly discussed topic: women and diversity on boards. This time, she made a bold statement. "But it turns out that even the smallest step — adding a single woman director — correlates with positive results. New research shows that firms with at least one woman director are significantly less likely to restate quarterly or annual earnings than are companies with an all-male slate of directors — 40% less likely, researchers say."1
Gender diversity's value in mitigating financial risk is only further supported by a study detailed in "The survival of newly-incorporated companies and founding director characteristics"2 published in February 2013. According to the findings by a team led by Nick Wilson at Leeds University Business School in the UK, newly incorporated companies with one female director have a 27% lower risk of becoming insolvent than comparable firms with all-male boards. The effect decreases as the number of female directors rises, suggesting that what matters is diversity rather than the specific number of women on the board.3
Despite the research-based arguments for improving diversity, the number of women holding corporate board seats at Fortune 1000 companies grew just 1% in a year (to 15.6%). The directors participating in this research weighed in on their experiences with gender diversity.
"Many boards today work hard to achieve diversity. Boards that have successfully integrated diverse board members have greatly benefitted from their contributions."Charles Weinstein, CPA

3 http://web.hbr.org/email/archive/dailystat.php?date=032513
The opportunity to provide "other" comments solicited some responses that may have been expected. For example, the boards on which the directors serve…
- Already have (a parity or substantial number of) women on the board
- Have a female chair
- Are currently adding women
- Select people based on competence, not gender
- Value all types of diversity
- Added women and immediately saw the benefits
When looking at the different types of companies, it was clear that private equity-owned companies are far behind their counterparts: Of those companies that have discussed diversity, only one-third of directors serving on private equity-owned companies indicated their boards took action; approximately half of directors serving on the boards of public companies, private companies and not-for-profit organizations have taken action. However, the disparity in this industry is not something new: It was observed and the subject of an article at the end of 2011 that private equity and venture capital (as well as finance in general) lack powerful, female leadership.4

- Business
- Seoul , South Korea
- Founded 2010
Founding StorybeSUCCESS's mission statement is to connect local entrepreneurs with business opportunities overseas. As a university student in South Korea, James, the founder of beSUCCESS, created the startup JRI, which specialized in the international import and export of home decor products. Throughout this experience, he found that fellow small- and medium-sized businesses based out of Dongdaemun Market suffered as a result of language and connectivity barriers. His further experiences working in Korea Telecom as an International Public Relations Manager illuminated the dearth of media publications supporting local startups with international aspirations. Most media focussed on corporate giants like Samsung and LG. James knew there were many talented people and startups who could change the world into a better place, and he wanted to show and promote these startups to the world in more efficient and effective ways.
Short DescriptionA fully inter-connected entrepreneurial community
Long DescriptionbeSUCCESS (www.besuccess.com) originally began in 2010 as a blog highlighting stories of individual startup founders. As time went on, this blog gained influence in the Korean startup community, reaching 15,000 UVs a day. beSUCCESS wants to use media and conferences to support Korean/Asian founders and help them to be discovered by global partners and investors.
beSUCCESS is the organization behind beGLOBAL, Korea's biggest startup conference in Seoul. Last year the 2-day conference was attended by more than 3,000 people and the event spawned tremendous deal-making, networking, and media coverage both globally and in Korea. The attendance makes this one of the biggest startup events in Asia.
Through its media platform as well as global events in Seoul and Silicon Valley, beSUCCESS hopes to support Korean startups in their ambitions to enter the global market, raise funds from overseas investors, and gain partners for global expansion. In pursuance of this goal, it has helped around 200 startups to be showcased for domestic and international investors over 4 years. Furthermore, 4 (Miso, Memebox, Sendbird, Seerslab) out of 5 Korean startups that have been accepted into Y Combinator had participated in its conferences previously.
However, beSUCCESS encountered scalability issues expanding these types of conferences into other startup communities. Just one conference supporting 20 "Korean" startups took the company at least 6 months of preparation. To overcome this issue and expand the number of startups it could help, beSUCCESS developed a technology-supported ecosystem called BEGINNING that can benefit any startup looking for guidance.

Ancient and Medieval Interpretation of the Complaints of Jeremiah
Ancient and Medieval Interpretation of the Complaints of JeremiahSusan G. Sullivan, Ph.D.Director, Edward M. Cook, Ph.D. Poem prayers in the book of Jeremiah use strong, sometimes accusatory, language, in the first person, in speaking to God. They stand out from the rest of the book, with little or no connection to preceding and following sections. The traditional list includes Jeremiah 11:18-20, 12:1-6, 15:10-11, 15:15-18, 17:14-18, 18:18-23, 20:7-10, and 20:14-18. Modern interpreters call them "confessions," "laments," or "complaints," noting similarities between these and Gunkel's "laments of the individual," though most do not include all elements of the lament genre. "Complaint" best describes their strong emotional content, addressed to God, connected with specific misery that does not resolve into praise. This dissertation considers ancient and medieval interpretation of these complaints, with particular focus on Jeremiah's harsh language. It looks at the traditional list of complaints, plus Jeremiah 4:10, an accusatory sentence; first in the Masoretic Text, then in the ancient versions: Septuagint, Targum, Vulgate, and Peshitta. It considers the meaning of the words of the complaints and how these were transmitted. It then considers a representative sample of interpretation in Greek, Latin, Hebrew, and Syriac. It includes Greek and Latin patristic; Latin medieval; Jewish ancient, rabbinic, and medieval; and Syriac ancient and medieval interpreters. It examines their choice of words, content and mode of interpretation, and methods of dealing with Jeremiah's strong complaints and accusations. Reverent interpretation by ancient and medieval interpreters transmitted these texts very carefully, with few emendations, including some slight softening of Jeremiah's harsh language. The texts were handed down in "streams of tradition" in language groups. Interpreters found meaning for the texts in the details of Jeremiah's life, but did not limit understanding to this original meaning. They considered theological questions raised by his complaints and related them to communities of their own day. Their conviction that these texts would reveal useful insights about God and God's work with, and expectations of, humanity, was shown in practices valuable for our own day: carefully transmitting each text, paying close attention to its details, seeking connections between these texts and the rest of Scripture, and considering theological implications and applications to communities.

- Wedding: December 2014
So I recently had my hair/make up trial. I was really happy with the results! My cosmetologist put fake eyelashes on me & I am obsessed. I want to learn how to do them for date nights!
Anyways, the bee won't let me upload photos from my phone, so sorry gotta do links-
I also didn't have much time to take pictures unfortunately, I had another appointment but here are a couple.
You can see a dark spot on my cheek.. I had put on tinted moisturizer & it messed with the airbrushing. I will make sure not to do that on wedding day! The lady said it wont happen when we do it with a clean face. My fault! Let me know if you like the colors she used!
She went with brown eyeshadow…
Not the best pictures, sorry! But you get the idea. We also had our cake tasting & went with almost cake w raspberry mousse & fresh raspberries. Then marble cake w chocolate ganache. Soooo good.

Ib Anderson, Artistic Director, Ballet Arizona
Journey to the desert
by Dean Speer and Francis Timlin
May 2005 -- Phoenix, Arizona
We met with Ballet Arizona's Artistic, Director Ib Andersen, during a break between shows in his under-the-stage dressing room, at Phoenix's historic and restored Orpheum Theatre.
DS/FT: Thanks for meeting with us. It's our first time seeing Ballet Arizona and would like you to please tell us a little about the Company and in particular your journey from Denmark to Arizona via the New York City Ballet.
IA: I started ballet at the age of 7 with the Royal Danish Ballet and was there until I was 25. I was invited by Mr. Balanchine to join the New York City Ballet in 1980 and stayed there as a dancer for ten years. After I quit full-time dancing at NYCB, I free-lanced some and began to choreograph in 1987 for my home company, the Royal Danish Ballet. I did some free-lance choreography for three years following that and was then later a balletmaster for Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre for two years. I then moved to Arizona for a change of scenery – literally! [laughs] I took the Artistic Director job in 2000 and so have nearly completed my fifth season at Ballet Arizona.
Tell us about some of the changes you've implemented as well as some of the challenges you have encountered.
The company has almost completely changed from what it was – both in terms of repertory and of personnel. When I came there was no Executive Director and during my first week with the dancers, it was announced to me that we needed to raise $500K in short order or fold the Company. There was over a $2M deficit! I'm very proud and happy that in four and a half years, that's been reduced to about $6,000. Trying to grow the budget and reduce the deficit at the same time has been a struggle.
What's your vision for the future of Ballet Arizona?
I don't want it to be a humongous company – about 50 dancers would be fine (there are now 30). I think it's hard to keep the connection with individual dancers when it becomes larger. It gets too corporate. Of course, I want dancers that are as good as possible and to have choreography that looks both forward and back.
We need to nurture audiences and it's both an educational and intuitive process. This goes slower than I'd like it to be, but I need to be realistic too. Phoenix is humongous. There is only one newspaper, no central city. It's not an easy place for marketing. One of the challenges is how to reach people, as it's so different from a traditional urban environment. And people don't read papers as much as they used to.
The Orpheum Theatre is beautiful and I've read that you're returning to Symphony Hall next season. Could you please expand?
Yes, it's a question of venue. The Orpheum is a very intimate space; it seats only 1300 whereas Symphony Hall seats about 2,500. We're in the Orpheum right now because of the construction of the new wing of the Arizona Convention Center. Symphony Hall is also being re-done as a part of this project, with improved acoustics. The Orpheum orchestra pit seats only 25, so it was a challenge finding the right instrumental orchestration for Nutcracker, which we did and I think it worked okay. And because seating is smaller than our normal home at Symphony Hall, we had to do 32 Nutcracker performances, rather than 25.
Live music?
We're having to dance to tape right now, which I hate as it's just not the real thing, but I felt like we had a choice of either dancing to tape or not at all. We'll be going back to live music soon.
To help publicize and support the upcoming Bournonville Festival this Spring, it's been requested that we ask you some specific questions about this aspect of your background. What are some of your favorite Bournonville ballets?
Oh, there are so many! I like "Kermesse in Bruges,""La Sylphide," Also "A Folk Tale," "Napoli," and "Far From Denmark."
I grew up dancing there from the age of 7 and the Company was packed with true artists, all dead now. It was an amazing period. True artists are very, very rare and Royal Danish Ballet had more than a few!
Have you seen or participated in past Bournonville Festivals?
The first one was in 1979 but went to my first one in 2000. I don't have too much of a connection with the Company now. I thought there had been a big change. They have gone to referring to written-down notes which, while these can record steps, cannot convey how it should be done, which is to express the joy of life. It's about exuberance. There is an enormous humanity to the work. It's not so much about correct steps and arms – if the spirit is not there, it is nothing. Bournonville danced that way is unique in the ballet world. It needs someone there who can inspire. There are still some "golden period" dancers from the generation before who could lend authenticity.
Ballet Arizona recently did "La Sylphide" here?
Nikolai Hübbe staged it for us. It's not a typical Bournonville ballet. Previously, we've done "Konservatoriet" which is a great educational tool for the Company. One difference between Bournonville and Balanchine ballets is that Balanchine is very "with" the music, while Bournonville is more about going over the music. Both connect with the music but with a different effect. The accents, phrasing and timing are unique to Bournonville.
Julia Adam was originally announced as doing a new work for you ...
That's being rescheduled for the future as she's expecting a baby.
Speaking of the future, what's in the works for Ballet Arizona?
The School needs a new building. There are currently only three studios and they are shared with the Company. It's a big work in progress. We took over the School only a year or so ago. Historically, in recent years, the Company's financial condition was dragging the School down, so they separated. We're now getting back together. I believe you cannot have a company without a school; they are interdependent.
Tell us about your work as a visual artist and has this aspect of your creative "eye" influenced your choreographic work?
I've been painting for 30 years and even had a studio in New York. I like the extraordinary light here. I see more colors here than anywhere. Sure, my eye as an artist has very much influenced me as a choreographer. I would probably not use space as I do without being a painter.
