Professor Charles Heying explores alternative economies of the post-industrial age, including Portland's artisan economy. He teaches courses in the subjects of green economics, sustainable development, urban social networks, localization, community development, and the sociology and politics of urban life. He is fascinated by the ways people live and work in an increasingly global world. He questions if place still matters and if place is powerful enough to be self-sustaining.
In 2010, Dr. Heying penned Brew to Bikes: Portland's Artisan Economy, published by Ooligan Press. Dr. Heying enlisted student writing and research and purposefully addressed a broad audience. The book describes Portland's artisan economy where craftspeople create, produce, and market one-of-a-kind items from microbrews to custom bikes to fashion. It frames the old-fashioned approach many Portlanders take to carve out a living on their own terms. Dr. Heying chronicles this movement's direct response to globalization and displeasure in sameness. The result is a location-based identity of superior design and quality and an intentional snub to mass consumer society. However, he argues the downside includes mounting competition with other artisans and a lack of separation between life and work. He started the Artisan Economy Initiative blog to explore these themes further online.
Engaged personally in the artisan economy his whole life, Dr. Heying spent years as a potter, farmer, and wood craftsman. As a cabinet maker in Los Angeles, Dr. Heying learned how to get along, collaborate, and unionize, lessons he brings to his teaching practice.
In the classroom, Dr. Heying takes an intentionally unconventional approach. He designs courses so that students teach each other and himself. Coursework requires students to read heavily, present findings in front of peers, bring in guest speakers, and orchestrate field trips or other experiences for the class. He facilitates extensive classroom discussion and welcomes the challenging of his own ideas to shed new light and offer new ways of thinking.
Dr. Heying sits on the board of Cafe au Play, a nonprofit coffeehouse that serves diverse families and encourages relationship building in the Mt. Tabor neighborhood. He helped start the organization with his daughter in a once derelict building with a checkered past. Rebuilt from recycled materials, the coffeehouse showcases green design and serves as a positive model of community involvement. A long time political activist, Dr. Heying actively advocates against the capping of the Mt. Tabor reservoirs as part of the Friends of the Reservoirs organization.
What Professor Heying has to say...
I get paid to think! It's an incredible privilege to read and think. What percentage of people get to do that? I get to explore ideas and develop new frameworks for understanding the world. However, it's a blessing and a curse. You're doing it all the time, you never stop thinking. You get to enhance your cognitive aspects, but not always your spiritual disciplines. To really understand your subject, you need to turn off your thinking at times, so you can actually hit the target...
First, I appreciate the young and active faculty. We recently hired some very dynamic faculty, which add to our already engaged faculty. Together, I think we are on the cutting edge of important thinking for many issues in our field. Second, I appreciate the legacy of Nohad Toulan. He built a truly unique program. During his tenure, the School grew and prospered. He knew how to command resources and assemble those resources in a creative way.
Portland is a great city in which to teach. I enjoy the mix of first generation college students, it's rewarding to see them.
The subjects that most interest me now include: the new economy, the cultural and artisan economy, how work and life are changing in a post-industrial era, the economy as if community matters, the importance of place and the paradoxes of place and a place-based community in a global world.
Similar to the methods of permaculture, I approach teaching with a desire to achieve multiple benefits through minimal effort. I learn from students, so the more I can do to learn from them, the more they benefit, and the more they get to learn what they need to know. I allow both structure and flexibility in my courses. I continue to develop in how I guide classroom discussion--like an interview, you never quite know where the conversation is going. In general, I strive to make sure each class has an "a ha" moment.
I especially like students that are critical of what I'm doing. I count on graduate students to bring the best of ideas that force me to think in new ways. I intentionally craft my courses so that students will be teaching me. As part of my course design, I have students bring in resources, speakers, and take the group on field trips.

In Reply to: Carry a torch posted by Bob on January 06, 2006
: : Okay, I read all of your previous articles on "carry a torch" I've got it being used differently. Context is talking about Aristotelian syllogism. Then it says "One boy who carried the torch against this was so hot about it that his banner was on high practically all the years of his life. And he had the symbol 'null-A.' And that was Mr. Korzybski. 'Null-A.' His plaintive cry against the universe was: "Why, in the name of God, did anybody ever invent a syllogism!'" (as a note, null-A means non-Aristotelian)
: Doesn't seem like a different use to me. Admittedly, carrying a torch "against" is a bit unusual in this example, but it's consistent with carry a torch "for," as in a devotion to a lost cause.
If the "boy" who carried the torch was Alfred Korzybski, I think the quotation is a bit misleading. Korzybski may have been part-genius, part-crank, but he didn't really carry the toch until his boyhood was over. SS

Going to see "Girl with a Pearl Earring" in November. We have only 2 nights in NYC (a Fri. and Sat.) I am going with my teen daughter and late-60s mother and walking wipes out my mom very quickly.
Of course, finding a room for 3 for a good price is a pain. I'd like to spend no more than $500 per night, taxes included.
Affinia Gardens seems to be my best option. (Surrey, Mark, Pierre, Carlyle, etc. are way out of my price range.)
Not sure what else we will do this trip. I told my travel mates we should each pick out one must-do each My daughter wants to visit the Cloisters but it looks like the cab ride alone would take 48 min.!
Anyway, does anyone have any other suggestions for lodging?
Thank you.

We stayed at the Club Quarters near Rockefeller Center in March. It might have some options for the 3 of you. It is an easy bus ride (up Madison Ave) to the Frick if your mother can handle that
If your daughter hasn't been to the Metropolitan, maybe you can persuade her to try that instead of the Cloisters this time.
My husband and I are also going to NYC for a weekend in October and are excited about the Vermeer exhibit. It is certainly a challenge to find anywhere affordable to stay. (We are staying at the Comfort Inn Central Park West)
Report Abuse
Yes, it's a 45 minute ride to the Cloisters but an amazing experience. I went for the first time last year and loved it. The collection is wonderful but the quietness and beauty of the surroundings were lovely. I think it's worth a consideration.
Why not stay in the UWS and take a quick cab ride through the park to the Frick? A great solution = less expensive hotel and a beautiful ride. Maybe the Hotel Beacon...

Read this on the Beacon - http://www.fodors.com/community/united-states/what-happened-to-the-hotel-beacon.cfm

Maybe another hotel on the UWS.
I stay in a private apartment so am not that familiar with the hotels in the area. I've found that it's an easy bus ride or cab ride to the UES and I like the area better too.

Here are some ideas -
Although I prefer booking directly with the hotel.

Thanks for the advice.
starrs - I like your idea of staying on the UWS. Have never stayed in that area and would like to. Hadn't thought about cutting across the park...
Thank you for the Cloisters encouragement. Now I think we should go for it.
Vttraveler - have a great time on your visit next month I will look into both the Club Quarters and the Comfort Inn CPW.
Thanks about the Met. This will be my daughter's 4th trip to NYC and I have dragged her to the Met each time She's in a big Medieval phase right now, which is why the Cloister's of such interest.
Thanks again!

The fastest mass transit way to reach the Cloisters is the A train to 190th St. Elevator to street level, then walk (slightly uphill) or transfer to the M4 bus for one stop. I suppose a taxi taking the Henry Hudson would beat it though.
Right now there is a special medieval exhibit in the medieval halls of the main Met building. http://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/listings/2013/medieval-treasures-from-hildesheim

Actually ended up booking Affinia Dumont, which was on "flash sale" for $350/nt which includes taxes. Booked a 1-bedroom with 2 queen beds and a kitchen and "spectacular views of Chrysler Building". So, I'm happy. We will be quite comfortable. And looks like we can take a 10-min. cab ride to Frick, and also be closer to some other things on our list (Bryant Park, Eataly, Morgan Library.)
Thanks again for the help.
Report Abuse
We stayed there last summer and got the Chrysler Building views and they were great. You are very close to the Morgan. We walked over there and did the free Friday evening admission.
Second Avenue Deli is just around the block behind you on 33rd Street; don't miss it.
Report Abuse
Thanks, 5alive. I have printed out your trip report and look forward to reading it.
Thanks so much for the deli tip!
Report Abuse
The Dumont is a good hotel in a convenient location. There's a Duncan Donuts downstairs and several restaurants (including Le Parisien, a nice neighborhood French bistro for which you need to make a reservation) a couple of blocks away. I can also recommend Ethos for Greek food. There are several decent diners nearby for sit-down breakfast.
The Frick may be a bit more than 10 minutes by cab depending on the time of day, but you can get there easily. Spend the $150 you saved from your hotel budget on cabs and keep your mom happy. But you can (and probably should) hop on the bus or subway at times.
But if you go to the Cloisters, you need to arrange transportation up there. The subway is fast but deposits you a very long walk downhill from the museum. But a city bus can take you up there to the door, though it never seems to arrive, and the open area at the subway station can be cold. The city bus also goes all the way to midtown, but that full trip takes almost 2 hours, which you can't spare. You might have to do a taxi at least partway. We do have these new lime-green taxis that can pick up passengers above 125th Street, so that might be an option. You could take the subway that far and get a cab.
Report Abuse
I took the subway part of the way, transferred to the bus and it took me to the door of the Cloisters. A taxi is an easier option. I wonder how much Carmel would charge? That would be a nice treat - going in a town car and calling for a return when you are ready.
I also stopped at St. John the Divine on the way back. Take a look at that if you think you may be interested.
Report Abuse
Haven't been on here in a few weeks... Doug and starrs - I am very grateful for your help.
Thanks for the restaurant recommendations, Doug and for the bus/taxi advice. My mom would not enjoy arriving a "long walk downhill" from anything
starrs - I used Carmel for airport transfers last trip, thanks to your advice. I'll contact them re. the Cloisters trip. Thanks!
Report Abuse
My daughter wants to visit the Cloisters but it looks like the cab ride alone would take 48 min.!
It is possible to go by subway or by bus to the Cloisters. Use Google map to find out the different options. The subway requires an 8 minute walk, the bus requires a change but goes directly there.
Report Abuse
The bus takes about 90 minutes from midtown, so that's not a very good alternative. The subway ride up to the Cloisters from midtown can be done in about 20 minutes, but it's far more than an 8-minute walk from the subway station and it's all uphill, though it's a lovely walk of more like 15 minutes through the park. The bus takes about 5 minutes from the subway stop, but the bus and subway never seem to be on the same schedule. But if you use a Metro card, then transfer is free.
People don't realize how far up in Manhattan the Cloisters is, but it's not unreachable, though it's a slog regardless of the mode of transportation. Still, it's closer than any of the airports and is unlikely to take 48 minutes unless one is traveling from the Financial District, and even then it depends entirely on the time of day.
Report Abuse
but it's far more than an 8-minute walk from the subway station and it's all uphill, though it's a lovely walk of more like 15 minutes through the park.
You are assuming going through the park from the Dyckman St. exit whereas Google assumes the 190 St. exit which is on top of the hill by elevator.

My daughter wasn't able to come on the trip, so we put off visiting the Cloisters. Next time.
Seeing the "Girl With a Pearl Earring" was worth the trip in itself. She is so lovely.
Doug - thank you very much for the Le Parisien recommendation. We had dinner there Saturday night and it was wonderful! What a charming little place - and everything we ordered was delicious (steak frites, rainbow trout, and pate). Couldn't have been more convenient to our hotel (Affinia Dumont), either, so thank you again.
5alive - we had lunch at the 2d Ave Deli right after we arrived and it was yummy and quite an experience. Shared Matzoh ball soup and the Instant Heart Attack sandwich. Thank you for recommending the place Again, so convenient to the hotel.
I adore New York City. I need to move there for about 6 months!

I'm so glad you enjoyed Le Parisien. It's one of my favorite little neighborhood restaurants and really feels like something from Paris. Murray Hill is a great place to stay for neighborhood restaurants ... I still miss it now that I no longer live in the area.

Sure thing! I in turn got that rec from the New York regulars who post here.

OverviewGorra Blanca, is a mountain marking the border between Argentina and Chile. It is located at proximity of Passo Marconi, one of the gateway to the Campo de Hielo Sur (Southern Patagonian Ice-field), a massive ice-field wide about 80km and long 350km the third largest ice-field on the planet after the Antarctica and Greenland.
Climbing Gorra Blanca is an unvaluable experience for the beauty of the mountain and the outstanding views over the Campo de Hielo Sur. Gorra Blanca is a relatively easy mountain to climb, the access is easy (the mountain is just on the edge of the ice-field) but the weather conditions can be severe and even in summer several days or weeks waiting for a window of good weather could be necessary.
Gorra Blanca is almost covered of snow and ice and the summit are got a rounded shape that justifies the name of the mountain (Gorra Blanca for White Hut in spanish).
De Agostini tried to climb the mountain in 1935 but the first succesful ascend was achieved the 12th January 1964 by the Argentinian climbers Augusto Mengele and Pedro Skvarca. The mountain is these days commonly climbed but fare from being busy.
Typically the climb of Gorra Blanca is part of a short traverse of the Campo de Hielo Sur. Excluding the climb of Gorra Blanca the trek takes about 5 days, starts and ends and in El Chalten with an anti-clockwise direction (El Chalten --> Piedra del Fraile Camp --> Paso Marconi -> Traverse of the glacier (2-3 days) --> Paso del Viento --> El Chalten).
Good navigation skills are ESSENTIAL when traversing the Campo de Hielo Sur. The climb of Gorra Blanca by its normal route is mrelatively easy and require limited proficiency with ice-tools but good knowledge of crevasse rescue.
Getting There
In Piedra del Fraile there is organised camp for 4 USD/person.
From Piedra del Fraile hike up in the direction of Paso Marconi; pass on the left of the Lago Electrico (good camp sites in a place on the shores of the lake), then get on the glacier and staying on the right side (on the left there is risk of serac's fall) enter on the glacier.
Head on the right of the Paso Marconi, a wide pass at the base of Cerro Marconi. Gorra Blanca will be on your right, clearly visible at this point. Camp at the base of the mountain where liquid water is available (small lake built-up in summer by water of fusion) or stay in the hut.
If the intension after the climb is to complete the short traverse of the Campo de Hielo Sur, just head full south for about 35 km (intermediate camp possible in a stunning location just under the West face of Cerro Torre) and then head East to Paso del Viento to rejoin a trail for El Chalten.
Do not even think to use a cheap tent because the weather conditions can be severe and carry much more food than the strictly necessary. The climb and the full trek takes at least 5 days and it is very unlikely, even in summer, the weather will be fine for such a duration of time.
Red TapeGorra Blanca is in a national park (both in Argenina and Chile). Usual rules apply. There is a fee of about 3 USD/person to pay when crossing Piedra del Fraile.
Technically it is necessary to ask permission to the borders' police in El Chalten but this is not enforced so do not bother about . It is also necessary to ask permission to the Park Authority to climb in the area. The rangers will make some questions, check the equipment and give you a written permit. I personally do not see any ethical and practicle reason to do it because the rangers have no idea of what climbing is and they will try to refrain you from climbing as soon you make the smallest question about the conditions of the route. Also there is limited interest in registering because rescue facilities are limited and there is no mobile phone or radio coverage, unless you do not have a satellite phone.
CampingCamping is allowed and indeed necessary. There is a hut, at the base of Gorra Blanca in Chilean territory. The facility, Refugio "E. Garcia Soto" is owned by the Instituto Chileno de Campos de Hielo (an authority in charge of controlling the evolution of conditions of the ice-field). This facility is normally not destinated to the use of alpinists but in the facts this is tollerated. I have no idea if one day this will discontinue. Also, as the structure is from time to time used by scientific and military personnel there is no guarantee that at the same time you can use it.
The hut is comfortable, with blankets, basic beds, chairs and tables. If you use it please respect the place and move out all your garbage. This is the only way to maximise the chances the use of the facility will be tollerated in future.
In a clear matter of fact the hut has been built from Chile to mark the border and avoid any territorial claim in the area from Argentina.

Resident Evil: Revelations' Large Storyline Is The Reason For Its Lengthy Development Time
This summer will see the release of Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D, exclusively on the Nintendo 3DS. The game will include a playable demo for Resident Evil: Revelations, which is scheduled to hit sometime in 2012. Up until this time, we've been seeing a lot of content from Mercs 3D, while information on Revelations has been hard to come by. There has been some snippets, though, like the fact that Capcom is going into this project with the mindset being to deliver the next numbered sequel in the franchise. Now we have another short dose of new information for the game that also tells us why development on the title is taking up a good amount of time.
In a recent interview held between the game's producer Masachika Kawata and Planet3DS, we've received the revelation that Revelations will have a huge focus on its storyline; a narrative that will be substantial when compared to the series' past. Once again, this signifies Capcom's intentions with this game which are to make it feel like Resident Evil 6, despite no number tailing at the end of its title. Kawata's statement regarding the development of Resident Evil: Revelations and its duration sums it up nicely:
It might take some time to be honest…This time, the amount of script increased significantly and it will be a lot of work. We'll make it so it will be a real horror experience. Don't miss it!

Henk Kamp, the Dutch Minister of Social Affairs has proposed two more years of restrictions for Romanian workers in the Netherlands. The Minister's plan is to allow Romanians and Bulgarians to only get jobs that other EU citizens can't perform and would be valid until 2014. The proposal will be discussed by the Dutch Government on Friday.
Romanians and Bulgarians can receive work permits in the Netherlands from July 1 this year, only in exceptional cases. The same applies to other foreigners outside the EU.
EU 25 countries can temporarily restrict acess to their labor market for Romania and Bulgaria, which joined the EU in 2007. There is a seven-year general transition period, divided into the first two years, when member countries can apply their national legislation, followed by three more years, when they can extend these national measures, if they notify the European Commission. If they do not notify the commission, the EU legislation applies, allowing free access for Romanian and Bulgarian workers. The last two years of this period could allow for an extension of restrictions, in case allowing Romanian and Bulgarian workers would endanger the country's own labor market, and only if the Commission is notified. The second stage should end in December 2011.
Ten member states currently restrict the access of workers from Romania and Bulgaria to their national markets: Belgium, Germany, France, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Austria, UK, Luxemburg, Ireland. They will be able to keep the restrictions in 2012 if they notify the Commission by the end of this year about the serious damages to their internal labor markets.

I am 5'4', 130 lbs, and currently 32a. I have been thinking off and on about breast augmentation since I was a teen. Now that I am 23 I know my breasts aren't going to grow anymore and I just want my chest and shape to be more rounded and womanly. How do I decide if this is something that bothers me enough to pursue? I have been thinking about it a lot recently.
How Do I Know if Surgery is Right for Me?

Elective surgery
The decision to undergo elective cosmetic surgery is a personal one. A board-certified plastic surgeon can provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision. But in the end, the decision is solely yours.
Breast augmentation
It really is a personal choice to decide whether or not you want breast augmentation and no one else should make that decision for you.

You might also like...
Only You Can Decide Appropriateness of Augmentation
No one but you can decide whether or not a breast augmentation is the right choice for you. This is a very individual decision which must be made by you rather than a husband, boyfriend, etc.. A consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon can help you make this choice. He/she can discuss the potential benefits and risks with you. It sounds as if you are a good candidate for an augmentation.
Deciding to have Cosmetic Surgery
This problem is like every other decision in life. You simply weigh the advantages against the disadvantages (pros vs cons or benefits vs risks) and decide to proceed if the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. With surgery, you have to weigh the risks of surgery against how it will improve your self-image, etc. You are the only one who can decide the latter. However, a Plastic Surgeon is the only one who can evaluate you and your health and tell you what the risks are. Therefore, to answer your question, you need a consultation with a Plastic Surgeon. After that, you should be able to answer your question yourself.
Choosing to have surgery
Only you know if surgery is a good option for you. I would suggest going to a few consultations to see if you are a good / appropriate candidate for surgery. If you are, then you can decide if you want to have surgery. No one NEEDS to have surgery. Cosmetic surgery is elective and you can take your time and use all your resources available to decide what to do. If you post pictures, we may be able to give you opinions on which procedures you might consider.
Good Luck.

Don't forget to save the seeds. Squash seeds cleaned and dried then dry toasted in a non stick or cast iron are delicious. But you can also save them and grind them up and add them to other recipes to sneak a little extra zip (and nutrition) into your kiddie's food.
- 1 spaghetti squash
- 1 T olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 T dried parsley (or 1/2 C chopped fresh Italian parsley or basil)
- 1 T Italian seasoning
- 1 C coconut milk (I used "light" coconut milk)
- 1/4 C chicken broth (organic, low sodium)
- 1/2 tsp. arrowroot powder (as a thickener)
- 1 lb. shrimp
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. black pepper
- pinch sea salt (optional)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Puncture several holes throughout the spaghetti squash to allow the steam to escape. Place the spaghetti squash on a baking dish and put in the oven for 1 hour. When the squash is done, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before cutting it open. The inside will be very steamy and hot, but will cut very easily! While the spaghetti squash is finishing its cooking time and cooling a bit, make your sauce. SAUCE: Heat the oil in a skillet. Saute garlic and when garlic starts to brown, add the shrimp. Saute until shrimp is nicely pink and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside. Whisk arrowroot and chicken broth together, and add to skillet. Cook on medium heat until it starts to thicken. Slowly add coconut milk along with remaining herbs and spices. Add the shrimp back to the skillet. Finish with a pinch of sea salt if desired.

Documentary explores the building of Our Lady of Victory Basilica in Lackawanna
At one point in the mammoth effort to construct Our Lady of Victory Basilica in Lackawanna, the builders encountered a major problem: The main dome collapsed.
"There was a ring that wasn't placed properly, and it caused weakness, and the dome actually caved in," said Claire A. Rung, executive producer of Daybreak TV Productions.
Fortunately, no one was hurt, and the near-disaster was fixed.
The little-known anecdote was uncovered during hundreds of hours of research for "Building a Basilica," a new documentary set to air Sunday about the construction of Our Lady of Victory Basiica in the 1920s.
The 60-minute film, produced by Daybreak TV Productions and narrated by actor Brian Dennehy, will air at noon on WKBW-TV Channel 7.
The film traces how the magnificent structure, designed by architect Emile Ulrich, came into being through the vision and perseverance of Father Nelson H. Baker, the Lackawanna priest who is being considered for sainthood.
Baker pushed to build the basilica at Ridge Road and South Park Avenue with the finest materials and artists working together on an architectural masterpiece.
It was completed in 1925 at a cost of $3.2 million, paid for through donations and with no debt to the parish. The project wasn't without plenty of polite tension between Baker and Ulrich, though, as revealed in letters between the two.
The two men had a great fondness for each other, but they were regularly "butting heads because Baker would start things before Ulrich was done drawing the designs," Rung said.
The documentary took 2ø years to make and was funded by a private gift.
Producers from Daybreak, the television arm of the Catholic Diocese of Buffalo's communications office, interviewed various contemporary architects, compiled historical footage and filmed re-enactments of pivotal events of the time – including a fire that destroyed much of the previous church at the site, St. Patrick.
The fire scene, which opens the movie, includes local firefighters in period gear and using period equipment.
Some of the archival footage was obtained from a Georgia company that produced the white marble blocks gracing the exterior of the basilica – the same marble used to make the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.
The documentary also is scheduled to air on 127 television affiliate stations in markets across the country between Sunday and April 20.

Todd Tiahrt on Immigration
Republican Representative (KS-4)
Jerry Moran criticized Tiahrt during the debate for past support of proposals to allow some illegal immigrants to obtain driver's licenses and to make it easier for some to pay lower college tuition. Tiahrt said his views shifted as he consulted with Kansans and studied the issue. Tiahrt acknowledged he once supported proposals on tuition and driver's licenses; Moran's staff noted Tiahrt co-sponsored legislation in 2001 and 2003. "I thought it was compassionate to not punish the children for the parents' sins." Tiahrt said. "But I've come to the conclusion that we must build the fence, that we must say 'no' to amnesty."
Tiahrt said he also wants to stop printing bilingual election ballots, a practice he said encourages people to come to the US illegally.
Tiahrt said his position could be made clear in three words--"Build the fence." He repeated the phrase 4 more times during the debate. He criticized Moran for supporting the idea of bilingual ballots and for voting in favor of the children's health insurance reauthorization, which, in addition to providing millions to states for low-income children, also made it more difficult to deny coverage to children of illegal immigrants.
Tiahrt said his previous support for making it easier for children of illegal immigrants to receive tuition was done out of a belief that it "was compassionate not to punish the kids of immigrants." Since then, he changed his mind. "We must say no to amnesty and build the fence," he said.
Proponents support voting YES because:
It is obvious there is no more defining issue in our Nation today than stopping illegal immigration. The most basic obligation of any government is to secure the Nation's borders. One issue in which there appears to be a consensus between the Senate and the House is on the issue of building a secure fence. So rather than wait until comprehensive legislation is enacted, we should move forward on targeted legislation which is effective and meaningful. The legislation today provides over 700 miles of two-layered reinforced fencing, and for the rest of the border provides a virtual fence, via integrated surveillance technology.
Opponents support voting NO because:
Just to build the fence is going to cost us at least $7 billion. Where is the money coming from to pay for it? How much is it going to cost to maintain this 700-mile fence? Who is going to do it? This bill contains no funding.
This bill also ignores real enforcement measures, like hiring more Border Patrol personnel, and instead builds a Berlin Wall on our southern border. So long as employers need workers in this country, and while our immigration systems impede rather than facilitate timely access of willing workers to those opportunities, undocumented immigration will never be controlled.
Walls, barriers, and military patrols will only force those immigrants to utilize ever more dangerous routes and increase the number of people who die in search of an opportunity to feed and clothe their families.
None of the funds made available by this Act may be used to provide a foreign government information relating to the activities of an organized volunteer civilian action group, operating in the State of California, Texas, New Mexico, or Arizona, unless required by international treaty.
The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is a national, non-profit, public interest membership organization of concerned citizens united by their belief in the need for immigration reform. Founded in 1979, FAIR believes that the U.S. can and must have an immigration policy that is non-discriminatory and designed to serve the environmental, economic, and social needs of our country.
FAIR seeks to improve border security, to stop illegal immigration, and to promote immigration levels consistent with the national interest—more traditional rates of about 300,000 a year.
With more than 70,000 members nationwide, FAIR is a non-partisan group whose membership runs the gamut from liberal to conservative.
The ratings are based on the votes the organization considered most important; the numbers reflect the percentage of time the representative voted the organization's preferred position.
OnTheIssues.org interprets the 2005-2006 USBC scores as follows:
U.S. Border Control, founded in 1988, is a non-profit, tax-exempt, citizen's lobby. USBC is dedicated to ending illegal immigration by securing our nation's borders and reforming our immigration policies. USBC [works with] Congressmen to stop amnesty; seal our borders against terrorism and illegal immigration; and, preserve our nation's language, culture and American way of life for future generations.
Our organization accepts no financial support from any branch of government. All our support comes from concerned citizens who appreciate the work we are doing to seal our borders against drugs, disease, illegal migration and terrorism and wish to preserve our nation's language, culture and heritage for the next generations.
The amendment made by subsection (a)(3) shall not be construed to affect the citizenship or nationality status of any person born before the date of the enactment of this Act.
[OnTheIssues note: This bill would change the existing interpretation of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which currently defines as a US citizen any person born within US territory. This bill intends to remove the right of illegal aliens to gain US citizenship by bearing children while in the country illegally; the issue is known by bill supporters as "anchor babies"]
This bill declares English as the official language of the United States, establishes a uniform English language rule for naturalization.

"American Bandstand," the bedrock of Dick Clark's iconic broadcasting career, served as a performance avenue for some of the biggest musical artists of all time. And whether he was watching the Village People guide the "Bandstand" crowd through "YMCA" or introducing a hot new act called The Jackson 5 for the first time, Clark was the unflappable captain of the variety show for over thirty years, and left an indelible impression on its audience.
To celebrate Clark's "Bandstand" legacy following his passing at age 82 on early Wednesday (April 18), check out 10 classic moments of Clark on the show below -- and be sure to look for a certain "American Idol" judge in the Michael Bolton clip.

Shunyi District (顺义区 in Chinese, Shùnyì Qū in Pinyin) is Beijing's expatriate suburb located north-east of the Beijing city proper. Shunyi is similar in organization and layout to a North American suburb, with large homes, lots of green space, markedly reduced traffic compared to often-gridlocked downtown Beijing, and loads of Western amenities.
Expatriates who choose Shunyi choose it because they want:
The closest thing to a "home away from home" experience
A safer, quieter, and/or calmer living situation outside the urban environment
To be a part of its large expatriate and family communities
Easy access to the large number of international schools with campuses here
It's most common for expatriate families first moving to Beijing to select Shunyi as their location of choice simply because of its familiarity and similarity to previous living environments, and for its safety and accessibility for children.
Shunyi offers a number of other advantages to expatriates and expatriate families too; we'll look at each below.
Living Arrangements
Most expatriates living in Shunyi rent or own villas in the many gated communities the district has to offer. "Villas" can be as small as a town house, or as large as a proper Western villa. The villa communities typically features the following facilities for residents' use:
- Swimming pools
- Tennis courts
- Gyms (with machines and free weights)
- Clubhouses / meeting rooms
- Guardhouses with regular patrols
Villas can range in price anywhere from ¥20,000 per month at the absolute least expensive to (more often) ¥30,000 to ¥60,000+ per month for residences at the higher end and in the nicer communities.
Most expatriates living in Shunyi are those with families (singles
normally prefer to live inside the city limits).
Local Amenities
Shunyi offers the same kinds of amenities you'll find in most
Western suburbs, including:
Western supermarkets, including Carrefour and BHG.
Western restaurants, ranging from Mexican to Italian to French food, bagel shops and pizza parlors, and including bakeries and fast food establishments like McDonald's and KFC.
Salons, sports gear, electronics, clothing, and other shops and stores aimed at Westerners and carrying Western brands and items.
Pinnacle Plaza, a square at the heart of Shunyi hosting numerous shops, cafés, bars, Western restaurants, Western supermarkets, and a even a tailor.
Beijing United Family Hospital, one of Beijing's Westerner-focused hospitals, offers both a medical and surgical clinic and dental offices in Shunyi (located in Pinnacle Plaza).
Entertainment options including superior sporting facilities, fishing spots, golf courses and clubs, skating, dance, yoga, kung-fu, horseback riding, and even a ski resort (located a bit outside of town).
Western dining in Shunyi is as good as or superior to anywhere else in Beijing. Nightlife is not as vibrant as that on offer in downtown, though the activities available to families and children are much broader and greater in number than those you'll find elsewhere in the city.
Shunyi is home to one of the largest concentrations of international schools in Beijing:
- The British School of Beijing
- Canadian International School
- Dulwich College Beijing
- Harrow International School Beijing
- International School of Beijing
- Swedish School Beijing
- Western Academy of Beijing
... and many more international schools and kindergartens serving Shunyi's large population of expatriate families and school-age children and teens.
Main article: International Schools in Beijing: The
School Guide
Shunyi is located northeast of Beijing proper, between the city and Beijing Capital Airport (PEK). It's location removed from the city means fewer cars on the streets, lower traffic and congestion levels, and less road noise; it also means a longer commute to work if work is located in the city, or to visit friends, go shopping or dining, or see attractions or nightlife inside the city.
A subway station in Shunyi has been open on Line 15 since 31 December 2011, connecting Shunyi to the rest of Beijing by metro since then.
Assuming the higher rents won't break the bank, Shunyi is the area of choice for most expatriate families moving to Beijing. It's also home for a number of wealthier Chinese families looking for quieter and more serene living conditions than can be found in Beijing, and more proximity to Beijing's international residents.
While likely not a place you'll want to settle as a Beijing single - it's too far removed from where all the singles are congregating, and it's likely to be far from work, and everything else - if you have school-age children and want to remain in a more Western environment, Shunyi may very well be the best choice for you.

Harlow Faux Wrap Dress Product Reviews

Reviewer: Kathy Nielsen (Copenhagen, Kbh sv) 7/4/2017
Not flattering on me
This has the potential to look good, but for me at least it fails - the reason being that it is a faux wrap rather than just wrap I think.
Reviewer: Kelly (Palm Coast, Florida) 3/28/2015
5 stars!
My sister's wedding is around the corner and I've had the worst luck finding a dress. I happened to come across this site and bought the nicest dress I have ever worn. I bought this in black. This dress is true to size and is very flattering to my curves and I can pull it off without any shape wear. Love it and will definitely use this site in the future!
Reviewer: Tiffinye (Marietta, GA) 11/30/2014
I bought this in Eggplant size 4. It is beautiful and the pictures don't really do it any justice. I have a classic hourglass shape with most of my weight at the bottom. Anyway, this dress made my assets look wonderful. The extreme push up bra definitely helped. The only issue, if you could call it that, is that I wish it could be a little longer, just below the knee. I'm 5'9" and it hit me a little above the knee. For those with heavier legs, you might want the extra inch or two.
Reviewer: K24 (Waianae, HI) 10/23/2014
I am a top-heavy, curvy woman and it is extreemely hard to find things that fit my top half without making me look like a whale. All of Kiyonna's line makes for a slim fit, but this dress is pure amazing!!! I love the fit, the cut is very perfect for the bust area and the cut right below it immediately slims you. It's fitted in all the right places and you dont have to worry about eating a big meal. This dress is extremely flattering! I absolutely love this dress and plan to buy it in every color available!!!
Reviewer: Renee Charron (Blainville, Quebec) 9/3/2014
I think it is gorgeous!
Thank you for making this perfect dress. It fits true to size for me and I am looking forward to wearing it this fall and winter.
Reviewer: Lauren (Denver, Colorado) 7/22/2014
Very Lovely
I love this dress! I was so nervous when I ordered it. I usually wear a size 10 and I don't normally look for plus-sized clothes, but when I saw it on pinterest I had to have it. The 0x fits great and it's so flattering. I'm about 5'6" and the dress hits right on top of my knee. I am very happy.
Reviewer: Kathy (Dallas Center, IA) 11/21/2012
Fabulous and flattering
I bought this to wear to my daughter's wedding in early November. I felt so good in it and got so many compliments. It was very flattering, very comfortable and made my day go so much easier because I knew I looked nice.
Reviewer: Anne (Detroit, MI) 11/13/2012
Lovely Dress
I got a size 1X - I'm 5'10 naturally and 6'3 when I wore heels with this dress. I have a full bust (38DD), my tummy tends to be my trouble area, and I have a hourglass shape. This dress is FANTASTIC for a similar or exact shape. I did finagle with the bust a little simply because I didn't want to be chesty all night (the reason I didn't give it 5 stars). Otherwise, the dress is a great addition to your wardrobe and you will look flawless with a great bra and/or shaper!
Reviewer: Kathy (Alberta, ) 10/9/2012
Love this!
This dress was super comfortable and fit true to size. I am usually a 16 dress and bought the 1x. The neckline was low enough to show some cleavage and the sash area hid enough that I didn't need to wear any shape wear underneath!! Worth the money! Oh and I thought it would be warm because of the fabric, but I wore it for a night out in 28C temps and was fine.
Reviewer: Meagan (Paramus, New Jersey) 9/24/2012
Doesn't hit me in the right spots
I am sure others may look beautiful in this dress, but it was just too short-waisted for me and the neckline would not stay put somehow. Also, the sash was hard to arrange well.
Reviewer: PC (Clayton, NC) 8/22/2012
I bought this dress for a wedding. I looked so good in it and I love it and my husband loved it on me. I ordered a 3x and it is true to size and it looked GOOD on me. However, I did have to wear a spanx!
Reviewer: Scheri Manson (Edmonton, Alberta) 8/13/2012
Just do it!
Well, I am back again with another review. This time it is the Harlow Wrap Dress in English Rose, Size 0. My measurements are 43" chest, 38" waist, and 44" hips. A measurement you may find useful is the under bust as this dress band sits as an empire waist just under your bust. My under bust is 36". The 6" wide sash is sewn into the right side seam on the under bust. The sash can't be removed or shifted, so please keep this in mind. I wish it wasn't attached to the dress. The size zero is a perfect fit for my above-noted measurements. Fits true to size chart provided. The neckline is flattering and can be worn more daring if you choose. The 3/4 length sleeves measure 15" from your shoulder seam. They have lined the dress' skirt portion with a suitable polyester stretch lining. The tulip hem on the front edge is a very nice flirty touch. The length of the skirt (from your under bust is) 29", which on my 5' 7" frame falls about 2" below my knee. The fabric is the great fabrics we have now come to love from Kiyonna. If you are wondering if this style of dress is flattering, I must say that it is ladies, so "just do it", go ahead and order.
Reviewer: Kelly (South Brunswick, NJ) 7/11/2012
Great Dress!
I usually never have any luck with dresses since I have big hips and butt. This dress flatters in every way! It's made well, very comfortable, and looks stunning! My husband told me to order more in other colors because it looks amazing. I am 5ft and wear a 26/28 and ordered a 4x. It's very true to size. You will not be disappointed! Can't wait to wear it for a wedding this weekend!
Reviewer: Janet (Newark, NJ) 7/2/2012
I had a wedding to go to and wanted to look fantastic!!! I ordered the dress three days before the wedding. It arrived exactly when I was told it would arrive. It was perfect!!!! I didn't need to do anything to it! I have never ever had an experience like this. Everyone at the wedding was saying how beautiful I looked. It was a great day for my ego!!!!!!!!!
Reviewer: Bella (Kelowna, BC) 5/30/2012
Updated Classic
I haven't ordered from Kiyonna in a while as I barely clock in at a size 12, but I saw the gorgeous photo of the Real Curves "Sarah" in the English Rose print and I knew I had to give it a shot. (Thanks Sarah for posting such an awesome pic, you are stunning!!!) I ordered the 0X and it fits perfectly. The wide sash is a current update to a classic wrap style dress. The tucks, ruching and seams are in a perfect location, and I love that Kiyonna always gets the neckline right - not too low, not too high. The English Rose print is so unusual, a bit of a risk for me as I am not the "floral" type. However, I have olive skin and dark hair and I feel it really suits me. All in all, a five star dress and well worth the price.
Reviewer: Krimini (, AK) 5/22/2012
Absolutely Perfect!
I knew the instant I put my Harlow Wrap Dress on that it was absolutely perfect for my daughter�s wedding shower. I love how flattering the dress is on my plus size figure. It gracefully hides my tummy and accentuates what is left of my hour glass shape. I also appreciate that the neck line flatters my bust line while not showing too much. I rarely stray from dark colors in my wardrobe, other than accents, but the purple is perfect for summer! I am very surprised how slimming the color actually is. This is my second Kiyonna purchase, I am a loyal customer, can�t wait for the next item in my closet!!
Reviewer: Sarah (Houston, TX) 4/5/2012
So flattering!
I just received this dress in the English Rose print and I am so pleased. I plan to wear it to a wedding this weekend and it is perfect for Spring! The fabric has a very nice weight, the draping is beautiful, and the skirt portion is lined. The cut is very flattering, accentuates an hourglass figure, and I was pleased to find enough room in the bust without having too much at the waist. If you are an hourglass you know what I'm talking about. This is my second dress purchase from Kiyonna. Once again the quality, cut, and fit are excellent. Thank you Kiyonna!
Reviewer: Trish (Palatine, IL) 2/7/2012
More, please?
This is the by far the most flattering dress I've ever worn! The verticality of its faux wrap and trailing ties really work for me as a plus-size gal... in fact, I received so many compliments on how "hot" I looked in the red that I ordered it the following week in purple as well! Kudos to the designer - (s)he's a genius! Its elegant cut and high-quality construction are fabulous. Your fabrics have a terrific hand and drape beautifully and the lycra-like lining is a gift for those of us blessed with an abundance of curves. Now, how some more solid-color offerings? I'd gladly purchase it in a great neutral classic like Greige or Taupe or Slate for that understated look which plays well no matter the season. Then, the sophisticated shimmery shades of Champagne, Pewter or Bronze would do well for more formal or evening affairs.
Reviewer: SARA (SAN PEDRO, ca) 1/25/2012
Just bought this, with high hopes and fingers crossed. Perfect for the plus size curvy woman with a high waist. Accentuates waistline, hides tummy, and shows off hips and butt. Also true to size. Beautiful quality material, worth every penny. This is my first purchase from Kiyonna, but not my last. FINALLY... someone got it RIGHT...
Reviewer: Berry (Washington, DC) 1/10/2012
Cute, bright color, not great for triangles
I ordered this in red. It's a bright blue-red color and less wine colored than I expected. My hips are a size larger than my bust/waist and I ordered this dress based on my upper measurements. The bottom was way too small.
Reviewer: Amy Petty (Derry, NH) 1/6/2012
Perfectly Curvy Dress
I bought this dress as a reward for losing 25 pounds. It is stunning! There is something subtly pin-up about the way it hugs my curves but it isn't obviously revealing either. Just perfect! I bought the 'English Rose' print. The colors are beautiful. I may be getting it in Rich Ruby very soon.
Reviewer: Naomi (Staten Island, NY) 12/16/2011
Love, Love, Love!!!!!
I ordered this dress in the English Rose pattern and can I say.....this is THE most flattering dress I've ever purchased! I don't wear dresses very much, but this is definitely a keeper. I have an hourglass shape, smaller on top, larger hips and back side, and this is so very flattering to my shape. I ordered a 1x and it fit perfectly. The print is absolutely stunning to say the least! I love the material and the inner layer which acts almost like a supportive slip. A must buy ladies! Hope this review helped!!!!
Reviewer: Jessica (Greensboro, nc) 12/14/2011
!00% amazing!!!
I have not bought a dress in about 5 years b/c I cannot find one that looks good on my sz 16/figure-8 body. I ordered the Harlow dress, but made a promise that if it was not a 100% amazing dress that flattered my figure on every level that I would immediately return it. I still have it hanging in my closet! It shaves 15 lbs off me and it made my 42B chest look a whole size larger - whoo-hoo!!! The most flattering dress ever. The material is a wonderful quality that I know it will look good for years to come! Even my husband was impressed!
Reviewer: Ms. Meca (Muskegon, MI) 12/13/2011
Pleasantly Surprised!
I must admit, I had been admiring this dress for quite a while, but wasn't sure how it would look on me. Well, after careful consideration, I decided to give it a try. And let me say I was not disappointed! Once again, this dress was everything I'd hoped it would be,and then some! ;) It invites compliments,especially from the male persuasion ! Now my eyes are fixed on the English Rose pattern. Thank you once again Kiyonna for another fabulous work of art!
Reviewer: kelly (fort wayne, IN) 10/6/2011
harlow faux wrap dress rocks!
I ordered two black dresses from Kiyonna for a wedding reception, hoping 1 would fit and the other would be sent back. Unfortunately for my wallet, I am in love with both and will never part with either. Thank you Kiyonna! You guys are amazing.
Reviewer: Maggie (Franklin, MA) 9/23/2011
Best dress I've ever but on!
This is my 'IT' dress! It makes me look like a million bucks and is so easy to wear. I'm a size 18/20, with a tummy and booty (I'm slightly pear shaped), and this dress just drapes beautifully ... even without the SPANX this dress is killer, but it never hurts to have a little extra support ;) This is my new favorite!
Reviewer: R. Richardson (Alexandria, VA) 6/28/2011
As a size 10/12, I've spent years trying to look good in dresses designed for skinny girls. The truth is that all of these dresses came in my size, but the designs did nothing to accentuate my curves or help hide body parts I'm not comfortable with...such as my belly. When I saw a picture of this dress in peacock on a news website, I fell in love. I ordered in in a 0x, and when I put it on I felt wonderful. It did what all those other dresses couldn't do. This is the first review I've ever written, and I just want to say thank you and hug the designer of this dress.
Reviewer: Rachel (Oklahoma City, OK) 6/20/2011
Best fit yet!
I love all my Kiyonna dresses, but this one is amazing. It didn't reveal too much of my cleavage (46DDD's are hard to hide). The dress highlighted my curves without being too clingy. The Peacock print is beautiful. I wore it out in a very hot evening and it was still pretty comfortable. I will definitely get the other colors!
Reviewer: Jan Lant (Brisbane, Qld) 6/7/2011
This dress is just wonderful . I wear a 2x and found the dress just fitted perfectly. The fabric is wonderful and feels very luxurious, the fitted under slip was an added bonus as it smooths all bits and pieces. The colour was absolutley gorgeous. Service and delivery were great 5-7 days, even with the cost of postage to Australia it was so worth it
Reviewer: Tami (Brooklyn, NY) 6/1/2011
Very flattering
This dress hugs your curves beautifully and the print is lovely. I get tons of compliments in it and don't have to wrestle with constricting tummy-tucking underwear to wear this. It's worth every penny. LOVE IT!
Reviewer: Tia (San Antonio, TX) 5/27/2011
Beautiful dress but not for me
I was so excited about this dress when I saw it on-line. When it arrived, I was really impressed with the quality of the fabric and the cut. The only issue is that the sash was just too much material for my body. It seemed to add bulk to my stomach area. I loved the rest of the cut and the decolletage, but I sent it back based on the sash. I think it would be a stunning dress on the right body, though.
Reviewer: Emily (Lexington, KY) 5/13/2011
Beautiful print and fit
This dress (like all Kiyonna dresses) fits and flatters the curvy woman so well. I was hesitant to order the print at first, but I am SO GLAD that I did. The colors are vibrant and the print is beautiful and unique. Ultra flattering in every way
Reviewer: Carrie (Halifax, NS) 5/10/2011
Adore this dress!
This is the most flattering fit I've ever had with a Kiyonna dress. I'm about 48-42-52, slight apple-y, and 5'4". I bought the size 2x; the dress' length is perfect, which is hard to find. The chest isn't too large like some of the others, so that also fits well- again, hard to find for me. The style of the dress is flattering for my curves! Yay! Please make more like this! Great dress. I will be wearing this one a lot.
Reviewer: Evie (Philadelphia, PA) 5/10/2011
Really lovely pattern
I recieved this dress in the peacock color and it is gorgeous. The picture doesn't do the blends of teal and navy justice! My husband is a big fan too! The one issue with the dress is the sash, I like the concept but I found the material to be too heavy to hang next to my hip. I'm 5'4 and wear a 1x, hourglass shape and it just added mass. Maybe I would like it if it were thinner? I realized when I pulled the sash to the side that I really adore the dress as is, so I am having my tailor remove the sash(it's sown into the seam on the left side). It truly is a great dress that will get lots of wear for both work and play.
Reviewer: Sherry (Paradise, CA) 4/14/2011
Wow! I'm happy!
Its not easy for me to find clothes that I love, that fit right and make me feel pretty. I bought the Eggplant Harlow Faux Wrap Dress and pulled it out of the box tonight, having purchased it online. The dress looks absolutely beautiful on me! It made my chest look wonderful. I'm 55 years old, live in an area without many good places to shop for clothes, and I'm a size 18. My adult daughter and i are having a formal wedding party April 29th to celebrate the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton and this dress is going to make my night. I love the fabric. It fits perfectly everywhere on my figure. The Egglplant was an excellent choice, as it is a rich color. This is also a dress I will be able to wear in any weather. My review is: Two Thumbs Way UP

Advanced Laser Body Care Institute's laser technicians, aestheticians, and skincare gurus enlist the Alma Accent Excele to safely and swiftly sculpt problem areas throughout the body. During 60-minute facial or 90-minute body-shaping treatments, trained staff members zap desired corporeal areas with the high-tech laser, equipped with a cooling system to diminish discomfort. Radio-frequency waves, gentle massaging, and pulsed light work to dissolve layers of fat, helping define curves and smooth uneven epidermal topography more effectively than medical-grade steamrollers. As the laser breaks up adipose tissue internally, technicians work to keep surface effects at a minimum by rolling specially designed cylinders across the skin, much in the same way a baker massages a tense dough ball. Treatment requires little to no downtime, allowing patients to quickly resume their normal routines after the procedure.
Advanced Laser Body Care Institute
The trained specialists at Advanced Laser Body Care Institute take aim at aesthetic imperfections with noninvasive light and sound waves, dermal fillers, and mini facial procedures. These skincare professionals work closely with each patron to draft a custom treatment plan that considers biological variables such as skin type, skin color, hair color, and hair flavor. Unwanted stubble, troublesome fat deposits, spider veins, wrinkles, and acne blotches fade or retreat entirely under the pulchritude professionals' experienced care. Anti-aging, antioxidant-full skincare products from Vivité and RevaléSkin revitalize visages and are available for purchase from the institute.

Doors open at 6 p.m. The first fight is at 7 p.m.

As a child growing up in a rural coastal town in North Carolina, I possessed both a curiosity about distant places, and a profound desire to enact social change. To this end, I pursued a degree in International Studies from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I then utilized my degree by traveling to Guatemala and working with locals to create economic opportunity. One experience, in a remote village in the mountains of Guatemala, lent clarity to my personal direction in a way I had never before experienced. In just one conversation about eyeglasses, I offered hope to a woman who had become farsighted, thereby losing her means of generating income. It was this singular encounter that cemented my passion for global health and my interest in exploring the potential for positive impact that exists when you pair public health interests with business acumen.
Two years later, as a candidate for a master's in public health at my alma mater, I launched Life-improving Ventures (LiV). LiV is a non-profit dedicated to improving quality of life for people in low-resource communities around the world. Our menstrual hygiene initiative aims to address the lack of access to affordable sanitary pads that 4 out of 5 girls and women in East Africa experience.
Lack of access to sanitary pads has escalating negative health and social consequences. Unhygienic alternatives – rags, cotton, grass – can lead to urinary and reproductive tract infections, and these infections, or a lack of any means to manage menstruation, lead to high rates of school absenteeism and drop out.
The MakaPad is a biodegradable sanitary pad developed by Technology for Tomorrow (T4T) in Uganda. This locally appropriate technology could change the lives of roughly six million women in Mozambique alone.
LiV bridges a connection between an African producer of affordable, biodegradable sanitary pads in Uganda with an existing network of girls and women in Mozambique who are prepared to distribute the sanitary pads along with reproductive health education. In this way, LiV is able to create opportunity for economic gain among the girls and women who distribute these products and respond to the local need for improved menstrual hygiene management.
Our biggest challenge to date has been the cost of transporting the products from Uganda to Mozambique. This nearly prohibitive cost has limited our ability to establish a financially viable business model. However, timely and full sale of the inventory purchased with this loan will prove that a market for these products exists and set the foundation for establishing a MakaPads production site in Mozambique – a huge step toward establishing a financially self-sustaining model.
I'm most proud of our team's perseverance. Despite numerous unanticipated challenges over the past four years, we've remained true to our passion and focused on our goal. This is an extraordinarily exciting time for LiV as we are poised for tremendous growth.
In Summer 2014, LiV implemented a pilot program with local and regional partners to explore the feasibility of distributing MakaPads in the community of Chibuto-Chimundo, Mozambique. Within two weeks, a dozen local women sold 2,000 pads, collected market feedback, and generated a small amount of revenue. This loan will help us build on our initial success.
Kiva funds will facilitate the purchase of more than 250,000 MakaPads (approximate cost = $16,000) and transport of the products from Uganda to Mozambique (approximate cost = $3,500). Leveraging local partnerships, these products will be distributed through existing social networks of women and girls in nine communities in southern Mozambique. A partner organization in northern Mozambique will distribute the products in an additional community.
Full sale of the inventory purchased with this loan will provide the green light for establishing a MakaPads production site in Mozambique, effectively eliminating our greatest barrier to financial sustainability and scale. Once a self-sustaining model is achieved, LiV will explore replicating the model to additional communities in Mozambique where the issue of menstrual management exists.
