I personally have not tried this foundation, but the before and after pics are amazing! If you have any questions for Annika, leave them in the comments section!
Its got a nice fragrence to it
It blends into the skin well (well i have had some problems but see cons for that)
it apprently last a long time aswell, the bottle looks quite small but i am assured that it lasts a while)
its medium priced at £10.99 (in usa its around $10-13 dollars from the local drugstore e.g. CVs ect)
After the shop assistant put on the foundation it looked amazing (she used a more expensive powder brush from GOSH, she didnt realize it was a powder brush but it worked better then their auctual foundation brush lol...well anyway )
I put on foundation next day using a cheaper version of the GOSH brush (ordered the gosh powder brush as it was out of stock :( ) it went on really bad and did not go on evenly i had to remove it 2times for it to do it so it diffinantly needs a profesional brush to apply it with.
It rubs off very easy too which is odd really and kinda anoying so it needs alittle time to dry propperly i would say
If you are one of these people that shines when your warm it does do that too and it seems to like be melting ur face but dont be put off by this as if you apply alittle powder/bronzer it'll help calm it down and absorbe alittle better.
basically its a good foundation, good coverage good price and lasts awhile but may need a few practices to make it look right...
Superdrug vitamin E Moisture Lotion
Mayberlline Infallible 16hrs in porcelain
Gosh Bronzing Pearls in a light brown
L'oreal Star Secrets Penélope Cruz
Rimmel Kohl black pencil eye liner
L'oreal 6hr Glam shine in Mauve
Brushes used
Mac 224SE Blending brush
Cheap foundation brush from Superdrug
Cheap Bronzer/blusher brush from Superdrug
cheap e/s brush from Ulta xmas collection.
This is the before look.. with blotchy kinda reddy skin....

The woven intrecciato leather was originally produced by passing strips of leather through a base panel cut with slits, but under Mr Tomas Maier the technique has been refined: now double-sided leather strips are braided by hand, for a stronger weave and finish on both sides. Intrecciato is hand braided at a rate of about one inch per minute and it can take up to two days to make a single bag.
The calf leather is sourced from France or Spain, and is naturally dyed. The leather is treated and finished in Italy, a process that can take several days.
All Bottega Veneta leather products are made in Italy. Two hundred and thirty craftsmen work at the Vicenza workshop, where most production is carried out by hand. The company offers a service where its bags can be sent back to Italy for cleaning and reconditioning.
Bottega Veneta has produced fine leather goods since 1966. The manager of the workshop in Vicenza has been with the firm for over 35 years. Mr Tomas Maier trained at the prestigious Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture in Paris, and ran his successful own label before joining Bottega Veneta.
The durable, heavy-duty zips are engraved with the Bottega Veneta name and are tested several times before the bags leave the workshop. This bag is ideal for carrying a laptop or iPad, as both compartments are padded inside.
by hand."
Founded in 1966 in Vicenza, Italy, Bottega Veneta translates into English as Venetian atelier, or workshop. Craftsmanship has always been at the heart of the brand, and is a value which is preserved today, with all Bottega Veneta's leather goods made in Italy to exacting standards. Throughout the Sixties and Seventies, the brand became known for being discreet but unmistakably luxurious; it famously eschewed logos, advertising with the slogan 'When Your Own Initials Are Enough', and in the early Eighties produced a short promotional film by Mr Andy Warhol, who was himself a fan of the label.
Since taking over as creative director in 2001, Mr Tomas Maier has continued to promote Bottega Veneta's core values of innovation, quality and craftsmanship, while imbuing the collections with his signature aesthetic, which is unerringly sophisticated and assured. Although the range has grown to include fine clothes, shoes and furniture, leather goods remain the speciality, particularly in the woven intrecciato leather. In 2006, Bottega Veneta opened an artisan school in Italy to train a new generation of craftsmen in the precise art of hand making the products.

LET'S GO!
THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY – 9:00PM (Bravo – an NBC/Universal network) Sad that the network TV season is nearly at its end? Fear not, for Bravo has a whole new season of trashy Jersey cougo-tramps ready to load.

Romney outlines governing plan
POWELL, Ohio — Mitt Romney conceded President Barack Obama has succeeded in making him a less likable person, but he offered a defiant retort to those hoping he will open up this week: "I am who I am."
( Also on POLITICO: Mitt Romney through the years)
Story Continued Below
Romney quoted that Popeye line three times in a 30-minute interview with POLITICO about his leadership style and philosophy, swatting away advice from Republicans to focus on connecting with voters in a more emotional, human way at this convention. Instead, he vowed to keep his emphasis — in the campaign and any administration to follow — on a relentlessly goal-driven, business-minded approach that has shaped his life so far.
"I know there are some people who do a very good job acting and pretend they're something they're not," Romney said. "You get what you see. I am who I am."
To press the point, he said the GOP would even try to turn Obama's still-high personal favorability rankings back on him at its convention this week, by making the simple case to voters: nice guy, failed president.
"I don't think everybody likes me," Romney said. "I don't believe that, by any means. But I do believe that people of this country are looking for someone who can get the country growing again with more jobs and more take-home pay, and I think they realize this president had four years to do that. … He got every piece of legislation he wanted passed, and it didn't work. I think they want someone who has a different record, and I do."
Romney pledged to bring corporate order to the West Wing. He promised to issue a checklist for his first 100 days, similar to the printed scorecard he used in Massachusetts; treat his Cabinet like a board of directors; and try to restart the economy using the hands-on management style that made him hundreds of millions of dollars.
( Also on POLITICO: Full Republican National Convention coverage)
Romney's answers were the clearest window yet into how the lessons he gained in the corporate world would be applied to the presidency. He revealed, for the first time, how some of those views were shaped, saying:
- Bill Bain, the founder of Bain Capital, and J.W. "Bill" Marriott, a fellow Mormon and the CEO of the hotel chain carrying his name, are the most effective leaders he has ever been around: "I learned leadership by watching people."
- Biographies, not business books, inspire his thinking, saying "tears welled up" when he finished reading David McCullough's work on John Adams.
- His Cabinet would be dominated by people from the private sector, citing Meg Whitman of Hewlett-Packard as a model for female leaders he would like to surround himself with.
- Debra L. Lee, the CEO of Black Entertainment Television, is also a leader he would take a close look at, though he couldn't recall her name, just her title: "From all reports, a highly effective manager."
- He rarely spends time thinking through past decisions or missteps made, which is one reason he has no regrets about the "birth certificate" joke: "I don't look back. I don't look back."
Still, during the interview, Romney made plain he is tired of the criticism that he is stiff, distant or not broadly liked by voters.

Ratio of appetite-regulating hormones marker of successful dieters
A pre-diet measurement of two hormones related to weight regulation can help predict which dieters will be more likely to maintain their weight loss and who will not, according to a new study. The results will be presented Sunday at The Endocrine Society's 94th Annual Meeting in Houston.
With obesity rates in many countries steadily climbing, more people are turning to diets to lose weight. But, for many people, maintaining the weight loss can be extremely difficult, leading to a frustrating cycle of weight loss and gain.
"The current study shows for the first time a clinically useful marker to identify, at an early time, patients who have difficulties in maintaining their body weight," said study author Ana B. Crujeiras , Ph.D., doctor at University Hospital of Santiago de Compostela (CHUS) and Biomedical Network Research Center in Physiopathology of obesity and Nutrition (CIBERobn) in Santiago de Compestela, Spain. "This difficulty is one of the most significant obstacles for obesity therapy, and currently there are no biological markers that effectively demonstrate clinical usefulness in predicting weight-loss regain."
To address this problem, investigators analyzed the role of two hormones related to appetite regulation. Leptin is made by the cells found in fat tissue, and ghrelin is mainly manufactured by cells in the stomach. Previous research by Crujeiras and co-investigators showed that patients who later regained weight had higher leptin and lower ghrelin levels before starting a restricted-calorie diet.
In the current study, investigators found the pre-diet leptin/ghrelin ratio to be two times higher among study participants who later regained weight than among those who did not. Additionally, they identified cut-off points, which predicted more than 60 percent of patients who would later regain 10 percent or more of the weight they initially lost.
"Calculating the leptin/ghrelin ratio prior to the participation in a weight-reduction program might provide the opportunity to individualize weight-loss therapeutic programs according to patients' needs, counteracting the weight-regain rate, and, as a consequence, achieving successful management of obesity," Crujeiras said.
Among women, the leptin/ghrelin ratio identified 70 percent of participants who later regained weight. Among men, the rate was even higher at 95 percent. Women, however, were less likely than men to be incorrectly identified as future weight gainers.
Eighty-eight overweight or obese patients, with a body mass index greater than 25, enrolled in the eight-week study. They were 44 percent female, their average age was 35 years, and all were white.
After an initial fast, participants' blood levels of leptin and ghrelin were measured. They then followed a reduced calorie diet for eight weeks. At the six-month follow-up, 40 dieters had regained the weight they had lost, while the remaining 48 had not.

Skin cancer (melanoma)Diagnosis
A diagnosis of melanoma will usually begin with an examination of your skin.
Melanoma, also called malignant melanoma, is a type of skin cancer. It's often caused by too much sun exposure.
The first sign of melanoma is often a new mole or a change in the appearance of an existing mole.
Melanoma can usually be treated with surgery if it's caught early. If it has spread, treatment may involve other treatments, like radiotherapy.
You cannot always prevent melanoma, but you can reduce your chances of getting it by taking care not to get sunburned.

Study case
Convincing your IT manager to let you use GroupCamp
Others have done it before and have succeeded with the following main arguments
Internal solutions from large companies usually have 2 main flaws: 1) It's usually not possible to invite and create user accounts for customers and partners outside the company. 2) You usually have file size limitations if you are using regular email for your projects.
Setting up an intranet project for your team
Setting up a dedicated intranet project allows you to better sync your team. All project members have a clear view of the tasks and milestones and the associated priority level.
Organizing new ideas and priorities for innovation
This is a very common use case. We have seen multiple companies achieve this with different methods. Here is one of them (which is actually GroupCamp's way of working).
We use different online projects for New Feature Requests and Product Roadmap.
In the New Feature Requests section, we use task lists to describe new domains or an actual application. For example 'GroupCamp Mobile is a task list and 'New Features for Discussions' is another. We then have reviews based on the task list and once we decide on a new feature and the way to design it, it will move into the Product Roadmap project which is the actual committed track for our products. We use the import feature to move tasks from one project to another.
Using email with my online project management tool
All GroupCamp applications are strongly integrated with email. And even with the best online project management tool, email remains the most used communication tool for all business users. But email as a service has its own drawbacks. and needs to be strongly integrated with your online project management to bring enhanced productivity.
Simple extranet to collaborate with customers
Start by creating companies in the Admin section and invite users from those companies. When you create a multi-company project, add the companies which should participate. In a multi-company project you can decide if a file or a task list is private or not. If you have multiple companies you can decide which one of them can see a private file. For example if you have multiple versions of a file you can mark them as private in the initial drafts. Once you reach a version that can be shared with outside companies, if the file is no longer marked as private, it will be shared by selected companies.
To share files with your clients and prtners, simply add users from outside companies to your project to access the secure extranet (SSL 256 bits - https access) with a controlled access.
Having dedicated online projects per customer
Dedicating a project per customer is a variety of situations including consulting companies, lawyers and Design agencies.
The dedicated project is shared by the project manager of the company who owns the groupCamp account and also their entry points within the customer organisation.
The timelog application is used by to enter time records on all. This has the benefit of transparency. The customer can have a clear view of the status of their projects, the deliverables and the amount of billable hours for their project.
Project planning: estimate, workload, deadline
Use an online project management tool to define estimated time for each project member's jobs allows to know the workload of the project and of each project member.
Timesheet for time tracking and project management
Time tracking is often considered by project participants as an annoying overhead within projects. The result is that the data collected by the process is often incomplete or inaccurate. Two main reasons for this are: 1) the process is often led by a single person for whom it is felt as a hassle 2) the reporting tool is often hard to access and the data entry format is a complex one.

Soybeans regained some of their ground to corn today after making new contract highs today. December corn finished 2 cents lower, November soybeans 17 ¼ cents higher, and December wheat 6 cents higher.
Today we found strong buying support in November soybeans especially after some technical levels were breached. The corn to soybean ratio has been so heavily weighted to corn lately that a small reversal is to be expected.
Tomorrow we will have export sales in the morning. Here are the following market estimates:
Corn: 600-1250
Soybeans: 400-900
Wheat 400-700
We will have the actual in tomorrow morning's letter.
Weather looks like we should see some quality rains through the better part of the corn belt over the next couple of days going into the weekend. Weather and the Monday morning crop conditions reports should still be the main driving factors until we get into harvest. We just made new contract highs in corn and we could easily see this push continue with the bullish sentiment. We want to stay well protected with sustainable hedges.

Solar halo seen around the sun | News
St. Petersburg, Florida -- If you looked up to the sky around lunchtime Monday afternoon, you might have noticed what appeared to be a rainbow circling the sun!
It's a solar halo (sometimes called a 22° halo), an atmospheric condition where sunlight is refracted in hexagonal ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. The result is a beautiful halo that surrounds the sun.
And if you notice any smaller balls of light near the sun within the halo, that's what is commonly known as a sun dog. Again, it's part of the same atmospheric condition that is creating the halo.
The phenomemon isn't all that uncommon, and is unrelated to the upcoming transit of Venus that will take place on Tuesday.

When a coach discovers an athlete with an extraordinary work ethic, it's like striking gold. Finding an athlete with superior talent can be just as rare. Ask any coach what it's like to find both in the same player, and he'll probably shrug his shoulders and sigh.
It's a one-of-a-kind athlete for sure, and that's how former Southington High School baseball coach John Fontana describes third baseman Cris Allen.
"Some people are born with it. Look at Carl Pavano. Nobody could have taught him to do what he did for us. He came out of his mother's womb being able to pitch," he said. "Cris Allen was something else. He had some God-given ability, but he had an incredible work ethic, too. Nobody could have worked harder than he did."
Allen arrived at the high school in the mid-1980s at a time when Southington was changing fast. It was no longer a small farming community. Housing developments were already choking open spaces. Southington was becoming a blue collar town, and Allen was the perfect blue collar Knight.
When scouts called him slow as a high school junior, he trained as a sprinter. He spent the off-season running 80 yard sprints and running up the hill on Lanning Street. He spent hours in the gym and practicing drills.
When the scouts returned for his senior season, Allen had chipped almost two seconds off his time in the 60-yard dash.
"I struggled my whole life," he said. "I did start as a sophomore at Southington High School, but it didn't really come easy. I think that the hard work just started to pay off for me."
Few athletes trained as hard. Long before athletes started to focus year round on a sport, Allen turned his focus to baseball. He gave up football after the midget leagues and gave up basketball when he left DePaolo Junior High School.
For the next three years, Allen became a fixture on the high school diamond. He spent every day honing his craft. His father, a former minor league pitcher with the Boston Braves organization, would throw batting practice until the shadows settled on the field.
"He'd come down with his father and they used to be in the batting cages all day. That kid used to wait all day for his father to come home," Fontana said. "He was the only one that I ever gave a key to our shed because he used to come here every day with his father. They'd grab the baseballs and helmets, and they'd go right over to the batting cages for hours."
Fontana wasn't one to promote underclassmen to his varsity team, but it was impossible to ignore Allen's skills. As a sophomore, he could drive rockets into the outfield no matter who was pitching. He would line up behind the grass at third base during fielding warm-ups, and Fontana said that his throws to first base would whistle through the air.
"It was incredible," he said. "He would throw long toss with Rob Dibble when Dibble would come to town, and they would stand with one on the left field foul pole and one on the right field foul pole. They would throw the whole width of the field, and they would throw bullets—no lobbing."
Success came quickly. He earned a spot on the all-conference roster in all three years with the Knights. He was named as an all-state infielder in his junior and senior seasons and was named all-American in 1985.
"He was one of the bright stars, for sure," said Jim Senich, a former sports writer for The Southington Observer. "He had a gun for an arm, and he could really hit the ball solid. He'd hit line drives in the gaps. He could run, too. He had the whole game."
Allen batted .420 as a junior in 1984, and went .443 at the plate as a senior. He finished his high school career with 15 doubles, seven home runs, and 136 runs scored. He still holds the Blue Knight record with 74 career RBIs.
"The worst thing about Cris Allen was that nobody wanted to pitch to him. Most of the time, he would never see a fast ball, so sometimes he would have a tendency to go out of the strike zone to try to get his pitch," said Fontana. "He's the type of guy that, if you got him out three times in a row, he'd get up there and hit the fourth one 385 feet. He'd make you pay for any mistake."
Allen shrugs off the compliment. Instead, he gives credit to his teammates.
"I can't tell you anything about those records, other than the fact that the first and second hitters were doing their job," he said. "I can remember Mike Majeski was the first hitter, and he could fly. If he got a hit, I can bet that he was on second or third by the time that I got up to bat. I don't think that hurt a lot."
On the other hand, Allen was so dominant it took just one call from Fontana to secure a full scholarship at Florida Southern College. The Moccasins were coming off of an NCAA Division II national championship in 1985 and went on to beat the division I champion in a best-of-three series. Without even seeing him swing a bat, they offered Allen a full scholarship.
"I remember my father telling me that a small school was a good thing, and I don't think I would have done as well in one of those 30,000 or 40,000 student schools," he said. "When you look for great opportunities, this was one from the best baseball school in the country. It was a small school, and I wasn't paying anything to go there. I didn't need to look any further."
Once again, Allen said that it didn't come easily. Once again, he worked his way onto the varsity lineup as a rookie. He led the team in hitting during his freshman preseason. On opening day, he was named to the starting lineup.
"You're either 100 percent in, playing that sport and working every day on it, or you're just playing to have fun," he said. "I think you're born with some of the abilities, but over a period of time you can work really hard to accomplish it. To make it at the next level, you have to be beyond dedicated."
Once again, success came quickly. Along the way Allen set 10 school records, and he still holds the program record for runs (258), doubles (67), triples (25), RBI (245), total bases (483), and walks (200). He still holds a single game record for hits (6), and his 200 career walks still stands as the the NCAA Division II record.
Along the way, Allen helped lift his team to three conference titles. He was an all-conference selection in each of his varsity seasons. Allen averaged .348 as a college player and helped lift his team to national title in 1988.
"In the first two games, we pretty much conquered our competition. Before you knew it, we were playing a team from [California Polytechnic State University]. They were a tough team, but we beat them to win the World Series," he said. "It was a great moment that I'll never forget. It was probably one of the best sports moments I've ever experienced."
During the off-seasons, Allen continued to hone his craft. In the summers, he played in the prestigious Cape Cod Baseball League. He was a member of the 1987 USA Pan-American Games baseball team and won a silver medal as a member of Team USA at the 1987 International Harbour Tournament in Taiwan.
It was no surprise that he was drafted by the Orioles after his junior year. In fact, he was drafted three times by a Major League Baseball organization. After high school, he was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays. After college, he was drafted by the California Angels. He signed with the Angels in 1989 before walking away from the game.
"I look back and, boy, when things were going great in my junior and senior years in high school and through college, it was fun," he said. "I would love to go back and relive those five or six years. It was just a great time with the competitions and friendships. The coaches, the recognition, and everything else were something that I won't forget."
With his dominance in high school and college, it was no surprise that Allen was selected to represent the town in the Southington Sports Hall of Fame. On Thursday, Nov. 8, he will be inducted in a ceremony at the Aqua Turf in Plantsville. For tickets, contact Jim Verderame at (860) 628-7335.

Living here in 'Allen'-town
When a coach discovers an athlete with an extraordinary work ethic, it's like striking gold. Finding an athlete with superior talent can be just as rare. Ask any coach what it's like to find both in the same player, and he'll probably shrug his shoulders and sigh.

Beautiful girl, wherever you are...
To whom it may concern,
If John Mayer could do it in a song, I figured I could take it to a whole 'nother level in prose.
I don't know how you'd take it, but over a year before you or I even contemplated marriage, I already booked a church for you and I on this date, 12 December, 2012. It's our last chance to have a wedding date as symbolic as this until 12 December, 2112, which I doubt either of us would live to see. Given that we're together, I'd like to think that you and I are both sentimental fools who would certainly want nothing more than a date like that. At worst, I doubt I'd ever forget an anniversary as significant as 12/12/12 no matter how senile I may get.
But hey, don't get me wrong: this is a wedding proposal, and that means you're free to reject me and break my heart into a million pieces. I'd be the last person to force anyone into something they don't want to do, and quite honestly, it may strike you as a bit strange that I would do this, but I figured that being married on 12/12/12 would mean as much to you as it would to me.
As I write this right now, I have no idea who you are, or if I'd actually just be wasting at least half a hundred grand on a church I would never get to use by the end of it all. All I know is that you would probably feel overwhelmed at all the effort I'm putting out for someone whom I may not have even met yet, if only to give you a special day and arguably the luckiest three numbers of this century.
And that's really how crazy love is. I'm a hopeless romantic at heart, and while some people may find it weird or even pathetic, those who know me would realize that it's a sincere and grand gesture coming from a very good place. I'm building this future for someone, because by the time that future becomes my present, it would all be worth it just to see the look in her eyes to know that I anticipated her all this time, and I stopped at nothing to give her the wedding date of the century – not even her apparent non-existence in my life while I write this.
All I know is, by the time all of this becomes reality, I will be loving you more than I have ever loved anyone else, and will be more than willing to keep it that way for the rest of my life. Maybe we've been friends for years, or we just met a few days ago from when I publish this, or I will meet you tomorrow from when I publish this, or you came back into my life just when I thought you were going to be just a memory, but it's not the gesture or the number or the church I've reserved for us way before I should've that I hope you take away from all of this. It would be my willingness to do this for someone who will receive all the love I've had to give all my life. The kind of love I've been longing to shower upon someone who could love me as well, imperfections, quirks, and sappiness not aside, but well-accepted as part and parcel of who I am.
So to my dearest future bride, if you do exist and exist in time for this wonderful once-in-a-century date, I hope you don't mind that I took the liberty of making this special, although really, none of this is really special unless you say "yes." One word. Three letters. That takes on far more meaning than a very early reservation for a church for a would-be bride I have yet to be with.
Or perhaps, I could simply be fooling myself into thinking that I will find you. It matters not. This world is filled with cynics and misers, myself included, and lest I get swept into that Einerlei of cynicism and misery, I choose to keep just one beacon of hope lit in my heart for you. Whoever you are. Wherever you are. Whenever you are.
And so to you, my dearest, my most beloved, I give to you my heart, my soul, my world, my everything. All you need do is come into my life and accept it.

Victory for Decency at the Supreme Court
The Supreme Court's decision today in Safford Unified School District #1 et al. v. Redding was a victory for privacy and decency. The Court held that a middle school violated the Fourth Amendment rights of a thirteen-year-old girl by strip searching her in a failed effort to find Ibuprofen pills and an over-the-counter painkiller.
The Cato Institute filed an amicus brief, joined by the Rutherford Institute and the Goldwater Institute, opposing such abuses of school officials' authority. The search in this case should have ended with the student's backpack and pockets; forcing a teenage girl to pull her bra and panties away from her body for visual inspection is an invasion of privacy that must be reserved for extreme cases. School officials should be authorized to conduct such a search only when they have credible evidence that the student is in possession of objects posing a danger to the school and that the student has hidden them in a place that only a strip search will uncover.
Today's decision should not come as a surprise. School officials were not granted unlimited police power in the seminal student search case, New Jersey v. T.L.O. Justice Stevens explored the limits of school searches in his partial concurrence and partial dissent, specifically mentioning strip searches. "To the extent that deeply intrusive searches are ever reasonable outside the custodial context, it surely must only be to prevent imminent, and serious harm."
The Fourth Amendment exists to preserve a balance between the individual's reasonable expectation of privacy and the state's need for order and security. Unnecessarily traumatizing students with invasive and humiliating breaches of personal privacy upsets this balance. Today's decision restores reasonable limits to student searches and provides valuable guidance to school officials.

Honolulu, Hawaii
Welcome to the twelfth of our Tea Business Spotlights, in which we allow tea people to share insights on running their business. If you're a tea business owner and you'd like to take part in an upcoming spotlight, please contact us.
How long have you been in business?
Tealet went live in May 2012.
What is the size/scope of your business?
We are a grassroots global corporation that facilitates relationships between tea growers and tea drinkers. We are a two-sided marketplace between tea growers from over ten different countries and will initially focus on marketing to the US market, although we do ship tea to customers internationally.
Why tea?
My professional background is in food science and technology and I was never really satisfied working in the food industry until I began working for a RTD green tea manufacturer. I was introduced to the unique qualities of tea and the healthy benefits it can bring for people. I was reintroduced to tea from the perspective of the grower during my time as a Japan MBA student at the University of Hawaii. I studied the market feasibility for Hawaii Grown Tea and then did a four month long internship in Kyoto, Japan at Obubu Tea Plantations. I think the US tea market is growing, the consumer is becoming more conscious, and tea growers are prepared to supply the world with the best quality tea.
How did you get the ball rolling on your venture?
After I finished an internship in Kyoto, Japan I returned to Hawaii and participated in a Startup Weekend event. At the event individuals pitch business ideas and teams are formed to build the business in 52 hours. My idea of "tea-commerce", now Tealet, was selected and my team won second place. Since then I have continued to work on the business idea and now we are in a business accelerator in Silicon Valley talking with investors about growth of the business.
What do you feel is the biggest strength of your business?
Our biggest strength is personal relationships we have with tea growers around the world. We hope that we can build a product that can extend this relationship with the tea drinker.
What were/are the biggest challenges of getting into/being in the tea business?
Like any business it is difficult to get the right partners together and to do the jobs of 10 people. The tea business is a relatively straight forward business, but there is much competition so it is very challenging to find the thing that separates you from everyone else.
What would you do differently, if anything?
I would have started studying Japanese earlier. I work with many Japanese farmers that don't speak English and we sometimes have difficulties communicating. I am practicing my Japanese now, but I wish I was fluent in speaking and writing so I could quickly do business with my partners.
How's business?
Business is growing quickly. Our customers are enjoying our tea and we are excited to try new things and take our customers on an exploration with us.
What advice would you give to someone who aspires to be in the tea business?
If you want to get in the tea business the best way to start is to network and build a community within the tea industry. Find out what's going in the ecosystem and try to build a solution that will help everyone including yourself. Make friends and find ways that you can work together. There is a lot of opportunity in the tea market right now, so there is much room for synergy.

|Obama lauds Kalam's exceptional genius.Says, he earned esteem at home and abroad
JPNN/ Washington/ July 29, 2015 /U.S. President Barack Obama has condoled the death of former Indian president A.P.J. Abdul Kalam describing him as an advocate for stronger US-India relations, and who worked to deepen the two countries' space cooperation. "A scientist and statesman, Kalam rose from humble beginnings to become one of India's most accomplished leaders, earning esteem at home and abroad," he said in a statement on Tuesday. Extending his "deepest condolences to the people of India" on behalf of the American people, Mr. Obama noted Kalam's "tenure as India's 11th president witnessed unprecedented growth in U.S.-India ties".
"An advocate for stronger U.S.-India relations, Kalam worked to deepen our space cooperation, forging links with NASA during a 1962 visit to the United States," he said."Suitably named as the People's President, his humility and dedication to public service served as an inspiration to millions of Indians and admirers around the world." Meanwhile, the US media highlighted his role in advancing India's nuclear, space and missile programmes. The influential New York Times in an obit said Kalam's "role in advancing India's nuclear programmes made him one of his country's most beloved figures". "Kalam's celebrity could be traced to 1998, when India detonated five nuclear devices in the northwestern desert, to widespread international condemnation," it said. "Described at the time as an 'impish, shaggy-haired bachelor' of 66, he was one of the most exuberant boosters of the country's nuclear programme," the Times said. "Kalam spent a little time outside India. For him, it was a point of pride that India had developed its bomb without much help from foreign powers. And he described himself as thoroughly Indian," the Times said. "I am completely indigenous!" he told the newspaper in 1998, it recalled.Time magazine described Kalam as "one of India's most renowned rocket scientists who served as the nation's 11th president". Kalam, it recalled told TIME in a 1998 interview that he developed an early fascination with flight while growing up on the south Indian isle of Rameswaram. "Then there were a lot of birds on the island," he was quoted as saying, "and I used to watch their beautiful flight paths. That got me interested in aeronautics." The Washington Post noted Kalam was "a scientist who was known as the father of the country's military missile programme". "He was credited with helping develop his country's first space satellites," it said. "In the 1980s, he helped design the nuclear-capable Prithvi and Agni ballistic missiles." "He played a crucial role when India tested its nuclear weapons in 1998," the Post said noting, "The test resulted in sanctions against the country but helped elevate Kalam's to the status of folk hero in his country." Several Indian-American organisations have also offered condolences on the death of "India's missile man". IANS

The controversy around Nestle's Maggi noodles has caused panic throughout the nation and it doesn't look like it will die down any time soon.
After the initial test results by Uttar Pradesh Department of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) showed harmful levels of monosodium glutamate (MSG) and lead in Maggi, various states across India and even Bangladesh conducted tests on Maggi to find out whether the food product is safe or not.
The controversy around Maggi has led to tests being conducted across the country.
The entire controversy began when the UP FDA last month asked Nestle India to withdraw a batch of Maggi noodles "which were manufactured in February 2014" after it found high levels of added MSG, a taste enhancer, in the noodles and lead beyond permissible limits.

Verona holds informational meeting for proposed sewer district
VERONA - More than 100 people turned out for the second informational meeting regarding the proposed sewer district in the hamlet of Verona.
Following a brief presentation by engineers from Barton & Loguidice (the Syracuse firm handling the design of the project) covering the basics of the project, Town Supervisor Owen Waller opened the floor for questions - first, answering some common ones he has heard over the past few weeks.
Among them, Waller assured the crowd that their property assessments or taxes would not go up as a result of the sewer system being approved. Also, Waller said that residents should not expect the infrastructure to be an immediate magnet for business and residential development causing the hamlet to be built up or commercialized, which would be a negative in the minds of many residents.
The hamlet is going to stay a hamlet. It's just going to be a cleaner hamlet, Waller said. The supervisor has been a longtime advocate of bringing sanitary sewerage to all parts of the town of Verona to improve the quality of life for residents.
The project would bring sewer service to 426 Verona properties from the New York State Thruway to Country Drive and from state Route 365 to the CSX Railroad tracks. The sewage would be treated by the city of Oneida.
The scope of work would total about $6.8 million. However, Town Councilman Fritz Scherz noted that that figure is Barton & Loguidice's estimate. If the proposal comes to fruition and contractors bid on the project, bids might come in for lower than that cost.
Waller said the project would be funded through a $1.1 million federal grant from the Environmental Protection Agency, a $500,000 state grant from Empire State Development Corp. and the remaining would be paid for using a 38-year USDA rural development loan with a 2.75-percent interest rate.
He added that the town is also continuing to seek more grants for funding project.
Annual user costs include a $529 sewer district debt service cost, $36 fee for town operation and maintenance and $153 fee for city of Oneida Waste Water Treatment Operation and Maintenance.
Hamlet residents would also need to pay a one-time fee of about $1,000 to connect to the sewer line and to fill their old septic tank, as required by the state Department of Health.
While some residents expressed worry over the cost of the project that they would have to pay out of pocket. Hamlet resident Deb Haeger was optimistic. She feels that if one sets aside $10 each week for the next two years, at the end, they would have enough money to cover their cost to hook into the system and pay for the first year of debt service and fees.
If approved, construction would take place between late 2013 and 2015, with user connections taking place between the spring of 2015 and spring of 2017.This isn't the first recent attempt to bring sewers to a part of the town that has none.
In October, a proposal that would have created a Durhamville sewer district was voted down. Waller explains that by New York State law, there are two ways for a sewer district to be created. One method is if 51 percent of the residents in the proposed district sign petitions to the affirmative; the other is a vote.
When trying to create the Durhamville sewer district, officials held a vote.
With this project, they opted to try petitions. Between now and March, the town plans to circulate petitions. If the petitions are successful, the next steps would be design, bidding and construction
Scherz added that time is a factor. The $1.1 million grant from the EPA carries a stipulation that the money must be used by Dec. 31, 2013 or be returned.
The Town of Verona currently has three existing sewer districts: Sconondoa, Route 365 and Verona Beach.

Dianna Lightfoot is facing more questions, after a Winston-Salem news outlet discovered she'd registered to vote using an address of a UPS store.
Lightfoot, 61, of Winston-Salem, resigned yesterday morning after being appointed two days earlier by new N.C. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Aldona Wos to heading the state's pre-K and child development division. Lightfoot's resignation (more about that here) came after comments and positions she'd taken criticizing government-run early education programs and Tea Party-related causes surfaced. Those comments included a comment from her now-deactivated Twitter account in which she referred to women appointed in the Obama Administration as a "butch bunch."
The news about the voter registration issues was first reported Thursday morning by the Camel City Dispatch, a relatively new independent, non-profit news website in Winston-Salem that found Lightfoot registered to vote in the spring of 2012 using the address of a UPS store at 353 Jonestown Road, a UPS store where Lightfoot has an address. State elections law requires that individuals use their residential, and not mailing address, when registering to vote.
Providing false or misleading information on a voter registration form can lead to a lower-level felony charge.
The news was later picked by the Winston-Salem Journal, which ran a story today that included an interview from Lightfoot's mother who said Lightfoot had been devastated by the intense media attention this week.
DHHS has not chosen a successor to Lightfoot.
UPDATE (added since original publication): Robert Coffman, the director of elections in Forsyth County, said he will refer to matter to his three-member board, who can then ask for the state board of elections to look into the matter, or the local district attorney. Prosecution over voter registration address matters are rare, he added, and his office is waiting to see if the voter, Lightfoot, contacts them to change her voter registration to her residential address. That hasn't happened yet.

On September 25, 1848, the Great Gale of 1848, the most violent hurricane in Tampa's history, roared ashore as a Category 3 or 4 hurricane with 115 - 135 mph winds. Major R. D. S. Wade weathered the storm in Fort Brooke, in what is now downtown Tampa. Here is what he wrote this to his commanding officer in Washington D.C.: "The waters rose to an unprecedented height, and the waves swept away the wharves and all the buildings that were near the Bay or river." A 15-foot storm surge was observed at Fort Brooke, and the peninsula where St. Petersburg lies in Pinellas County was inundated "at the waist" and "the bays met," making St. Petersburg an island. After the hurricane, "Tampa was a scene of devastation. Magnificent old oaks were toppled by the hurricane's winds. At Fort Brooke the barracks, horse shed, and other structures were gone. The pine forest north of the garrison was filled with wreckage and debris. The hurricane's powerful surge had shifted sand all along the coast and reshaped many of the keys near Tampa Bay. Navigation routes were filled in and closed, making charts of the area produced before 1848 almost useless after the hurricane. In terms of intensity and destruction, the 1848 storm remains perhaps the greatest in Tampa's history" (Barnes, 1999.)

Fort Brooke today
Fort Brooke is the current site of the Tampa Bay Convention Center, which hosts the Republican National Convention on August 27 - 30 this year. The convention center is in Evacuation Zone A, which is evacuated for Category 1 hurricanes. The Tampa Bay Times Forum and two major convention hotels--the Tampa Marriott Waterside and the Embassy Suites--are in Evacuation Zone B, which is evacuated for Category 2 hurricanes. In a worst-case Category 4 hurricane, the Convention Center could be immersed in 20 feet of water. Clearly, even a Category 1 hurricane would be enough to spoil the convention. So, what are the odds of a mass evacuation order being issued for Tampa Bay during the convention?

The Tampa Bay convention center would go under 20 feet of water, and St. Petersburg would become an island, as occurred during the 1848 hurricane.
Figure 3. Perhaps the most spectacular hurricane image ever captured: view of Hurricane Elena on September 1, 1985, as seen from the Space Shuttle Discovery. At the time, Elena was a Category 3 hurricane with 125 mph winds, located just 80 miles offshore from Tampa Bay, Florida. The hurricane prompted the largest mass evacuation in Tampa Bay history.
Two mass evacuations in Tampa in the past 25 years
Two hurricanes have prompted mass evacuations of more than 300,000 people from the Tampa Bay area over the past 25 years. The first was Hurricane Elena of 1985, a Category 3 hurricane that stalled 80 miles offshore for two days on Labor Day weekend, bringing a 6 - 7 foot storm surge, wind gusts of 80 mph, and torrential rains. On August 13, 2004, another mass evacuation was ordered for Hurricane Charley. Thanks to a late track shift, Charley missed Tampa Bay, and instead hit well to the south in Port Charlotte as a Category 4 storm with 150 mph winds. More limited evacuations of low-lying areas and mobile homes in the 4-county Tampa Bay region were ordered for three other hurricanes in the past fifteen years--Hurricane Georges of 1998, Hurricane Frances of 2004, and Hurricane Jeanne of 2004. Other historical storms which would likely trigger mass evacuations were they occur today include:
The 1921 hurricane. One of only two major hurricanes to hit Tampa, this Category 3 storm brought a storm tide of 10.5 feet.
Hurricane Easy of 1950. The hurricane parked itself over the west coast of Florida, drenching residents with record-breaking rains, and brought a 6.5 ft storm surge to Tampa Bay.

Figure 6. A near miss: just a slight deviation in the path of Hurricane Charley of 2004 would have brought the Category 4 hurricane into Tampa Bay.
Tampa Bay's vulnerability to hurricanes
Tampa Bay doesn't get hit very often by hurricanes. The last time it suffered a direct hit by any hurricane was 1946, when a Category 1 storm came up through the bay. The Tampa Bay Hurricane of October 25, 1921 was a the last major hurricane to make landfall in the Tampa Bay Region. At that time, there were 160,000 residents in the 4-county region, most of whom lived in communities on high ground. Today there are 2.75 million residents in the region, most of whom live along the coast and low-lying areas or in manufactured housing. About 1/3 of the 4-county Tampa Bay region lies within a flood plain. Over 800,000 people live in evacuation zones for a Category 1 hurricane, and 2 million people live in evacuation zones for a Category 5 hurricane, according to the 2010 Statewide Regional Evacuation Study for the Tampa Bay Region. Given that only 46% of the people in the evacuation zones for a Category 1 hurricane evacuated when Category 4 Hurricane Charley threatened the region, the potential for hundreds or thousands of people to die when the next major hurricane hits the region is high. In the long run, I expect a multi-billion dollar sea wall will be built to protect Tampa Bay from storm surges, since sea level rise will make storm surge damages increasingly problematic. A 2007 study by Tufts University titled, Florida and Climate Change, found that a 2.25 foot increase in sea level--which many sea level rise scientists expect will happen by the end of the century--would put 152,000 people in Pinellas County (where St. Petersburg is located) at risk of inundation.
The hurricane forecast for the Republican National Convention
Given that there have been two mass evacuations of Tampa during the past 25 years during the peak three-month period of hurricane season--August, September, and October--history suggests that the odds of a mass evacuation order being given during the 4-day period that the Republican National Convention is in town are probably around 0.2%. Any tropical waves which might develop into hurricanes that could hit Tampa during the convention would have to come off the coast of Africa next week. Looking at the latest 16-day forecast from the GFS, all of the tropical waves coming off of Africa next week are predicted to exit too far north to make the long crossing of the Atlantic and threaten the Gulf Coast. While something could develop in the Gulf of Mexico from the remains of an old cold front, it is rare for such storms to grow strong enough to deserve mass evacuations. So far, early signs point to a hurricane-free Republican National Convention at the end of August.
