2014 UNHCR regional operations profile - North America and the Caribbean
| Overview |
Working environment
The intensification of several humanitarian crises in Africa and in the Middle East is keeping global resettlement needs high. Thanks to the generosity of countries such as the United States and Canada, which have large resettlement programmes, many vulnerable refugees are able to find a solution to their plight.
Canada is a key partner in refugee protection. It has established an independent refugee status determination tribunal and provides considerable support for UNHCR's work globally.
In the United States, legislation on immigration reform (the Border Security, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Modernization Act) currently pending passage through Congress would bring enhanced protection for refugees in the country.
As a result of the 2011 earthquake in Haiti, almost 280,000 internally displaced people (IDPs) remain in camps and another 200,000 are living with host families or in informal settlements. Many of the IDPs in these informal settlements have been forcibly evicted from camps. This situation is likely to continue in 2014, while the precarious conditions in the existing IDP camps are bound to pose significant protection risks, particularly sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV).
Several thousand IDPs in Haiti have lost their documents and face difficulties in obtaining access to services. According to the Haitian National Archives, there are approximately 2 million Haitians who are in need of documentation. Since many undocumented Haitians have left the country, there is a high risk that some of them may become stateless.
The year 2014 will mark the 30th anniversary of Haiti's accession to the 1951 Refugee Convention and its 1967 Protocol, and Haiti is seeking UNHCR's support in drafting asylum legislation. Due to the country's position at the crossroads of the Caribbean, the number of asylum-seekers arriving on its shores has been rising. In the Dominican Republic, UNHCR will continue to work with the authorities on strengthening protection for people of concern.
The risk of statelessness across the Caribbean is high, especially among populations of Haitian origin or descent. New evidence indicates that there are significant numbers of people whose nationality might be undetermined due to gaps in nationality laws or unclear application of national policies.
Following the May 2013 UNHCR-IOM Caribbean Regional Conference on the Protection of Vulnerable Persons in Mixed Migration Flows, the potential for strengthening regional dialogue, inter-agency cooperation, and national capacities on mixed migration and protection in the Caribbean, has grown. However, strong donor support is needed to enable implementation of new initiatives.
| Response |
UNHCR in Canada will focus on supporting and advising the authorities on the implementation of the December 2012 refugee legislation, particularly with regard to access to procedures, the impact of the new timelines, implementation of the principles of Designated Country of Origin and Designated Foreign National categories, and new appeal procedures. Particular emphasis will be placed on the Refugee Appeal Division and UNHCR's statutory role within it.
In the United States, UNHCR will support immigration reform efforts and monitor the impact of any new laws on people of concern. The Office will contribute to the revision and enactment into law of the Refugee Protection Act. On the operational side, the focus will be on improving protection safeguards for unaccompanied and separated children arriving at the southern border with Mexico. UNHCR will also seek a reduction in the use of mandatory detention through increased access to the parole option and other alternatives to detention, in addition to strengthening the independent review process for detention decisions. It will upgrade protection screening for people intercepted or rescued at sea by the authorities, as well as monitoring the interpretation and application of the refugee definition so that this complies with international norms.
UNHCR will seek to expand resettlement in the United States and Canada and improve the integration of resettled refugees in host communities, with a special focus on women and girls at risk.
In Haiti, UNHCR will focus on providing documentation to mitigate the risk of statelessness, as well as on improving the response to victims of SGBV, especially lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) individuals. In the neighbouring Dominican Republic, UNHCR will help the authorities' process asylum claims and respond to the refugees' most basic needs. UNHCR will also seek solutions for those deemed to be of undetermined nationality or at risk of statelessness.
In follow-up to the May 2013 Caribbean Regional Conference, UNHCR will seek funds to help selected Caribbean States and territories establish or strengthen national asylum systems and develop more protection-sensitive migration management strategies.
The lack of sufficient institutional capacity and resources constitutes a significant impediment to progress in the establishment of protection safeguards in mixed migration management in the Caribbean States. The wide geographical span of the Caribbean makes it difficult to take coordinated action to protect people of concern travelling by sea in the region.
In Haiti, the heavy stigmatization of certain segments of the displaced population and the absence of any likely improvement in socio-economic conditions may imperil chances for sustainable solutions. The national authorities need the support of the international community to restore civil documentation and the civil registry.
The processing of the backlog of asylum claims and the searchforstrongerlocalintegrationanddurablesolutions strategies for refugees are priorities in the Dominican Republic. Addressing the needs of individuals with undetermined nationality will be a challenge.
| Implementation |
UNHCR's overarching strategy in Canada is to leverage its advisory functions under new refugee legislation to attain the highest standards of protection in respect of access to territory and refugee status determination (RSD). UNHCR will appeal for an enlargement of Canada's resettlement programme in response to identified resettlement needs, and will cooperate with government departments and NGO partners in the implementation of integration programmes for resettled refugees.
In 2014, UNHCR will continue to work with the authorities in the United States to support the adoption and implementation of national legislation that affects people of concern; to monitor and find solutions for unaccompanied and separated children in need of protection who cross the border from Mexico; and to enhance the availability and quality of alternatives to detention. It will also provide advice on protection-sensitive procedures in cases of interception and rescue at sea, and work to ensure that the application of the refugee definition by asylum adjudicators is in accord with international standards.
In Haiti, UNHCR's focus will be on implementing its SGBV response strategy, mainly through safe and temporary housing solutions for LGBTI survivors and the provision of medical, legal, and psychosocial assistance. Small-scale livelihood projects will aim to improve the chances of relocation and reintegration. UNHCR will also pursue documentation projects and support reform of the civil registry to avert the risk of statelessness.
In the Dominican Republic, UNHCR will provide technical assistance to the National Refugee Commission and support integration policies and livelihood activities for refugees. The most vulnerable individuals will be given assistance for their basic needs. UNHCR will also focus on finding solutions for individuals with undetermined nationality.
UNHCR will assist Governments in the Caribbean to improve the quality and efficiency of asylum procedures and strengthen their refugee protection capacities. It will also help develop asylum legislation and institutional frameworks in the countries where such systems are needed. The Office will conduct mandate RSD, strengthen detention centre monitoring and improve the capacity of NGO partners to assess needs and deliver services. It will promote national frameworks for local integration, including access to naturalization, health care, education and documentation for refugees, and will seek to expand the strategic use of resettlement in the region.
| Financial information |
Over the last four years, the financial requirements for the North America and Caribbean subregion have grown from USD 18.9 million in 2010 to a revised 2013 budget of USD 20.6 million, due to new programmes to assist post-earthquake IDPs in Haiti and to restore a field presence in the Dominican Republic. However, funding constraints continue to hamper UNHCR's capacity to cover the ever-growing needs in 25 States and territories in the English- and Dutch-speaking Caribbean. In 2014, the financial requirements for the subregion are set at USD 20.4 million.

Easiest way we found to do this for 10 man was each tank start on each side picking up the their respective dogs and slowly kite towards the entrance, then turning around if needed. Tanks also need to make sure they are within taunt range of the other dogs.
to start off we had the tank with one dog taunt the dog not casting petrify @ 50 energy and the tank with 2 dogs taunts the other tanks dog. This is to stagger the Overloads, which really don't do much damage if done correctly.
So 1 tank will have only 1 dog the entire time and the other tank 2 dogs (except while the dogs are being taunted). Essentially the idea here is to keep the dog casting petrify with the tank that is supposed to be tanking 2 dogs. There will be a cast like bar that appears on your screen showing the petrify cast.
This is from my PoV as a tank. As far as what dps does other than not standing in fire, I'm not real sure about.

Have you ever had a sip of kale? Nikki and I turned the test kitchen at the photo studio into a juice laboratory.
For our experiment, we juiced grapes, carrots, clementine oranges, apples, lemons, limes, cucumbers, kale, and mint. Nikki had the idea of making all the juices separately, and then mixing our own concoctions.
Some things I learned:
1. Juice is better fresh. It didn't keep well when we tried to save the leftovers (though I may try this again in ice-cube trays for smoothies).
2. Cucumbers made a lot of juice, but the mixes tasted better when cucumber juice was used sparingly.
3. Berries are better in smoothies; they don't give you a lot of juice.
4. Mixing green and orange juices together may not make a pretty color, but the taste can be really good.
5. You can't even taste the kale when you mix it with apple or carrot.
6. Nothing goes to waste—we gave the kitchen scraps from the juicer to Troy for his chickens.
This could be a new way to consume my leftovers—I may not have time to eat a carrot, a bunch of kale, and a few apples before my next CSA pick up, but I could drink them on my way to the office. Troy came up with an apple, carrot, ginger, and parsley juice. It was delicious! Nikki's favorite juice is cantaloupe, apple, mint, and potato. I kept making things with cucumber and melon, but I definitely need to spend more time experimenting. Or at least keep better notes. I got a bit juice-slappy, and kept stirring everything together with no regard to measurements. I may have succeeded in making the ugliest looking juice on Earth. (Or maybe Staci really had a meeting to get back to, and that's why she couldn't try the juice.) What are your favorite juice recipes?
I can't wait to get some cold crops from the Rodale Institute's April plant sale. I think it's time for a kale smoothie.

Lambert once wrote of the Sitwells' (Edith and Sacheverell's) poems that for all their 'modernistic' overtones they belonged in reality more to the classic tradition of English poetry, 'more particularly that of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, when beauty was not yet divorced from wit, and when it was realised that artifice and sincerity were not necessarily antagonistic'. He could just as easily have been describing the music of Façade. In Music Ho! he praises the latter as one of the few successful examples since Chabrier of 'sophisticated music with a popular allure', the 'concentrated brevity' of its contrasting numbers, 'satiric genre pieces, over in a flash but unerringly pinning down some aspect of popular music, whether foxtrot, tango or tarantella' being in his view one of the strongest features of Façade. Another was the tunes—'one good tune after another, the waltz is an excellent waltz, the tarantella an excellent tarantella. Theirs is not the obvious humour of a Beerbohm parody. They are not only like the originals but ridiculously like'. Lambert also considered that, for Walton, writing in a popular idiom had the salutary effect of clarifying his melodic line, but for which the poetic achievement of the Viola Concerto or the slow movement of the Sinfonia Concertante would not have been as great.
In 1926 Walton took five of the more self-contained numbers of Façade, omitted the speaking voice, and transcribed the instrumentation for medium orchestra. Lambert dcscribed this suite as a 'very enjoyable work' while admitting that it represented but one side of Façade, the brilliant, satirical side. Lambert looked in vain for the pastoral charm of 'Daphne', or the sinister atmosphere of 'Four in the Morning'—forgetting, presumably, that these could not have stood upon their own without the speaker and would have needed to be completely re-composed. Clearly Walton wanted to keep as closely as possible to the form and rhythm of the original settings. Lambert noted 'the only piece in which he has departed from the original form of the poem is the Tarantella-Sevillana, perhaps the most successful number in the suite, where the material has been considerably expanded into a brilliant burlesque of the 'Mediterranean' style'.
It was this first suite which attracted the attention of three major choreographers—Gunter Hess in 1929, Frederick Ashton in 1931, and John Cranko in 1961. The second production, of course, was the one with which Lambert was associated. He conducted the first performance of this ballet when the Camargo Society gave it in London in April 1931, and almost certainly scored the extra Façade numbers incorporated both on this occasion and in 1935 when the Vic-Wells Ballet first danced the work. Only after the Second Suite for orchestra had been published in 1938 could the composer's own orchestration be used for the entire ballet.
We here follow the order recommended by Walton when the two suites are performed at a single sitting.

The Classic Series '50s Stratocaster® guitar epitomizes the vibe of the '50s. The color selection alone - Surf Green, Daphne Blue and Fiesta Red - takes you back to the era of diners, Ike and cars with fins. With a maple fingerboard, tinted neck, single-ply pickguard and aged plastic parts, it's authentically retro, and the three single-coil pickups with staggered alnico magnet pole pieces deliver that unmistakable '50s Stratocaster sound.

This is the real deal EXCEPT for one crucial thing that separates this from a USA 50s strat or say a 1957 strat.
These 50s strats DON'T have a STEEL BLOCK.....they are cheap NON-MAGNETIC garbage BLOCKS ! Throw it away and get a real STEEL BLOCK.

I have several guitars and this is the one I reach for the most! I have large hands with long fingers and before I played the Classic 50s Stratocaster, thought that its neck may be too narrow for me, especially when bending strings. Not the case at all! The soft v neck feels as though it was custom-made for my hands and string bends don't present a problem. The vintage tuning heads stay in tune just as well as other non-locking types I own. It plays beautifully, sounds dreamy in all five pickup settings from brilliant twangy chime tones to dialed-back more earthy types. It doesn't have the intense mid-tones that some more modern pickups or active electronics produce, but is definitely authentic to the particular sound from the era that Fender has sought to replicate! Classic vintage!
I find the urethane finish on the neck to be less sticky than its nitrocellulose counterpart and the paint on the body is flawless. I was at first leaning toward a 2 tone sunburst finish, but then the unique appeal of Surf Green got a hold of me. When I'm not playing it, it does not go into a case or floor stand, but is proudly displayed hung on a wall rack.
LOVE this guitar!
Tom D owns this item
Nothing beats this classic guitar in terms of quality and class, with an established set of aesthetic and artistic Fender Stratocaster standards, my Surf Green CS50s ranks to be the #1.
Pusong Negro owns this item
I ordered this guitar and when it arrived, I was disappointed that the color was nothing like it's shown in the photo. The photo shown is more like a relic Daphne blue (aged nitrocellulose lacquer) while the guitar is actually a very light baby blue and the neck isn't a warm yellow, it's pale. I wish Fender would issue a Daphne blue American Vintage with tinted nitrocellulose finish on both the body and the neck.
daphne_blue owns this item
This is a great guitar for the money. I always wanted to own an original 50's Strat. Unfortunately, I can't afford an original 50's Strat. I thought I would try one of these just for the fun of it. I own a bunch of strats, ranging from an original 70's, that I bought new in 76, to an American deluxe. I figured I would use it as a throw around axe. But to my surprise, I fell in love with the mother. Since the day I purchased my first Strat in 1976, I've always been partial to the 7.25" neck. That's one of the reasons I bought this guitar. I love the tight radius and have no issues with string bends. I wish Fender had stayed with the 7.25" neck. This guitar was perfect right out of the box. It's become my main axe and lives in a tweed hard case along side the rest of my guitars. It's the first one in line and the one that I now play the most. Made in Mexico, I don't give a crap! This guitar is a keeper! Actually, I'm thinking about buying a second one just for the neck. I just wish they would make one in white. Maybe I'll just get a Classic 70's in white. They have the 7.25" neck also. It would be a twin to my first born Strat (1976 / White / maple).

I bought this Strat to use as a donor guitar for my Dave Gilmour project and it is superb. Although I have replaced the PUP's and scratch plate assembly. The tone and sustain is brilliant. The 7.25" Soft 'V' is beautiful to handle and play. I have had no issues with bends choking out whatsoever and I run a pretty low action. I have owned 3 Strats over the years and this is the best by far, glad to see the set up was A1 from the box.
Buy one you wont be disappointed.

I got this guitar a few months ago, didn't wanna write a review during the honeymoon period and to be honest, with every day I love it more instead of cooling off. It might be the cheapest Fender around, but the sound is strat-amazing. When I was playing this thing at a local jamsession, the guys were sure it was some super high-end strat. I play with my thumb for bass strings so the soft-V neck works for me amazingly well, maybe that's the reason why I'm still so hyped about this guitar. Anyways, I don't really plan on buying any other strat, when you go with a Marshall and flow through the neck pick-up, you know that what you got in your hands is THE STRAT. And yes, when the time comes I want this thing next to me in my coffin.

I recently acquired a Fender classic 50's strat in shoreline gold, I have been wanting another strat for sometime, and I decided to get this one based on the features and the price range.
I am more of a vintage trem fan, I don't care for the whole floating trem thing, and I don't care for the huge 70's headstock, so I was kicking around between the 50's and 60's classic.
Now I gave it a 4 out of 5 for the features, the hardware, it should be nickel not chrome, in some cases chrome hardware on some fenders is known for issues especially on the saddles, the other minor complaint is the pickups, the classic player series uses better pickups where the classic series should be offered the same, the tone is good, but I would recommend the 57 / 62 set, the fat 50's, or the texas specials, it will make this guitar really sing.
also the tuning keys would be my only other complaint, slap on a set of Tonepros or Grover kluson style ones, the kluson style ones fender uses on most of their imports have a tendancy to get some play in them, I have had quite a few reissues from fender and this is something I have noticed.
With all of this that I have mentioned, it is still a great guitar for the money.
I plan on keeping it, after I do a few changes :)

This is my first fender Strat, I chose the classic 50's over the standard mainly because of the surf green colour and the worn parts (both of which look absolutely stunning). At first I was a little apprehensive about buying a mexican, however the feel of the guitar is amazing and it is a joy to play. The sound is also extremely good for a guitar of this price, the tone is clear, and the pickups produce a great sound for the high notes! It also sounds amazing through any valve amp, however is versatile enough to somehow manage to sound great on even the smallest of amps. Overall, I would highly recommend this guitar to anyone, I cannot find a fault in it.
I fell in love with this guitar as soon as I saw it and I wanted to buy it more and more as I played it. I have the 'Surf Green' colour which I think makes the guitar look absolutely stunning and is easily one of the things which highlight how good this axe is.
One of the things I love the most is how the pickups are wound ever so lightly to get a combination of that wonderful strat twang and a beautiful clean tone you could die for. I'd like to highlight the neck pickup as it sounds amazing for playing clean, lead, Mayer style licks.
The only thing I didn't get along with is how thick the neck is as I usually go for something a bit thinner due to having small hands, but I'm sure for anyone else this won't be a problem.
Stunning, amazing, buy it.
I bought this guitar..honestly expecting it to play like my other 4 Fender Strats...yes all Mexican
and I love them all. Well what a shock I got the sound was Major Gutsy from the pick ups
and a dream to play. I can't understand why some people under rate this Guitar...it feel,
Plays, and sounds brilliant,...so yes I've a 2013 American Strat ordered and I should have it soon...
With the fat 50s .... But concerning this guitar really...I wouldn't part with it...
.been very genuine this really is a great Guitar...everyone to there own opinion as they say...
Respects to all out there......

I tried out this guitar at a local guitar shop. I mistook it for the American Special (it was the same price & colour) but it played like crap. First thing I noticed was the gloss neck but thought it might just be a different year. When I played it, I actually asked the sales guy if there was something wrong with the amp because it sounded so thin and unspectacular. I also found the hardware on it to be chintzy. In the end, I laid away an American Standard from a different shop. I certainly wouldn't recommend this to anyone under 70 as it wouldn't be what they were looking for.
This is what it is like to play a soft V-neck Strat when it is new. My (tiniest) quibble is the modern thin strings... in the late 1950s thicker strings would be standard (which need addtional tremolo springs to the provided three). Stock, it is a retro demon, and it is easy to hot rod without breaking the bank. This might possibly be the greatest value in the Fender catalog.

Now this Stratocaster is truly the gem of the Mexican factory. The specs on this guitar are on par with the American Vintage Reissues. The look and feel of this guitar is unbelievable. I have the two tone sunburst and I love it. The V neck profile is very comfortable. I really enjoy the 7.25" radius which I never tried until I bought this guitar. My favorite tuners are the vintage style, which this guitar has. Add in the vintage style pickups, and you have yourself a astratocaster that looks, feels, sounds, and plays just like Buddy Holly's. By far the best Stratocaster Fender produces in the sub $1,000 range. I recommend this Straocaster over any other model shy of Vintage Reisssue or Custom Shop.

Movement 6: Moderato tranquillo
We saw a similar theme touched upon in the Five Mystical Songs: God is Love, God is also Sex: the two are indivisible. Or are they? This is the burden of The Song of Songs. Or is it? Scholars have variously interpreted the Old Testament cycle of poems as designed (a) for a wedding ceremony, (b) for the ancient Adonis-Tammuz celebrations, (c) simply as a collection of poems in praise of Eros. Priestly authorities, dismayed and embarrassed, have glossed it over with symbolic verbiage of the 'Bride of Christ' (i.e. the Beloved) variety: the desire is not just for the return of the Beloved as a person of flesh and blood, but, in metaphorical guise (or rather disguise) as the fallen community of man, or even (some have claimed) the lost tribes of Israel. Vaughan Williams's music suggests that little of this would have crossed his mind, that his inspiration, in this most un-English-sounding of all his works, was buried deep in human passion with all its swift-changing, multi-hued agonies and ecstasies. But, more riddles: Vaughan Williams selects six quotations and superscribes them on each of the six 'movements' of his 'suite' (his own misnomers, actually, since the work is better thought of as a free-flowing rhapsody or fantasia in six subdivisions) not only in the Latin of the Vulgate but also in the matchless prose of the Authorized Version (originally the translations were not included, thus mystifying listeners even further). Yet these superscriptions offer no more than the vaguest intimations of what the music is evoking or invoking. Even the title is—certainly has been—liable to be misinterpreted: it has nothing to do with 'buttercups and daisies' (as Vaughan Williams himself once irritably observed) but is the Vulgate equivalent of the 'Rose of Sharon' (as in 'I am the Rose of Sharon, and the Lily of the Valleys').
Then there is the strange sound of the music, the bizarre combination—solo viola, small orchestra which is actually more like a chamber ensemble, one of everything except strings whose numbers mustn't exceed twenty-two, small wordless choir (no more than twenty-six voices). The viola (which Vaughan Williams played himself) was one of his favourite instruments, and hardly an orchestral score of his goes by, from first to last, without at least one beguiling and seductive viola solo. Is the viola here the Vox Floris, the Voice of the Rose? If so, what about the 'real' voices who, like the viola, sing ardently, passionately and with longing, but are denied words? There is always an ambiguity about wordless human voices, whether solo or en masse: they sound paradoxically un- or non-human. Generally they represent, for composers, the sounds of elemental nature—as in Holst's Planets, Delius's Song of the High Hills, Vaughan Williams's own Pastoral Symphony, Riders to the Sea and Sinfonia Antartica. Is that their role in Flos Campi? And where is this particular campus, this field of the flower? The music sounds now languorously exotic, now distressfully, impassionedly Judaic, now roughly barbaric, now murmurously impressionistic: the final D major benediction is pure music, basic Vaughan Williams, and suggests nothing and nobody else. A far cry from the sophisticated primitivism of the opening—two instruments, two keys, no bar lines. Plenty here for arch-conservatives to object to, and to cause the ears of younger inquiring minds like Britten's to prick up (Vaughan Williams's originality, like his technical prowess—e.g. his marvellous ear for timbres, for orchestrational virtuosity, e.g. Flos Campi—is often underrated).
Here are the superscriptions of the six movements with a few interpolated comments, mainly taken from Herbert Howells's copy of the full score (HH):
I As the Lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters … [Song of Songs 2: 2] Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples; for I am sick of love ('quia amore langueo'). [Song of Songs 2: 5] 'A 'rhapsodic Prelude' with counterpoints of chords' (HH).
II For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone, the flowers appear on the earth, the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land. [Song of Songs 2: 11–12] Note the long tune first bowed by the viola, later taken up by all the voices in unison; the liquid harp, and a rare solo for that much-abused instrument, the celesta.
III I sought him whom my soul loveth, but I found him not … [Song of Songs 3: 1] 'I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him that I am sick of love' … [Song of Songs 5: 8] 'Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? Whither is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee.'[Song of Songs 6: 1]
IV Behold his bed [palanquin], which is Solomon's, three-score valiant men are about it … They all hold swords, being expert in war. [Song of Songs 6: 7–8] A 'moderato alla marcia', a 'time for greater vigour' (HH), presumably a portrait of the Beloved, ostentatiously masculine (bass drum and cymbals, viola risoluto, oboe directed to play with 'coarse tone'). The feminine softness and vulnerability of the surrounding movements thrown into striking relief.
V Return, return, O Shulamite. Return, return, that we may look upon thee … [Song of Songs 6: 13] How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O Prince's daughter. [Song of Songs 7: 1] 'Extreme passion … seven-part vocal element … note more virtuoso use of solo viola and ('antique') tabor' (HH). Themes from the first movement return in a building-up frenzy. VI Set me as a seal upon thine heart. 'Diatonic fulfilment of longing' (HH). Later, at the 'Tempo del principio', in oboe and viola lontano, 'a reminder of the outset—of a desire that was' (HH). The final chord, however—an unresolved discord—suggests that the mystery, whatever it may be, remains unresolved.

There are a number of things that we need to consider before we decide to purchase a pair of trainers. Any person who has gone through the process of shopping for shoes in the past can attest to the fact that the sheer amount of styles and variations in footwear can overwhelm them with a sense of confusion. The market is saturated with a considerable amount of options that you can consider when you begin the process of selecting the best piece of footwear for you to purchase. There are a number of elements that you need to take into consideration when you initiate the act of looking for the best pair of trainers to respond to your specific set of needs and preferences. Beyond the need to satisfy your aesthetic sensibilities, there are a few functional details about a trainer that you have to be aware of in order for you to make a decent investment decision after all is said and done. What are the things that you need to look for before you begin to finalize your decision to secure a specific piece of footwear? Let's take a look at a number of factors that every shopper needs to deal with when he / she initiates the search for a decent pair of sneakers.
The first thing that you need to do is to take stock of the nature of the market for shoes. There are a severe amount of options out there and you can spend an endless amount of time poring over every specific detail surrounding a certain shoe and not exhaust every possibility that exists. One of the most crucial elements that you need to pay attention to when it comes to acquiring a specific shoe is the arch of your foot. Certain arch configurations need a specific shoe to effectively address a number of issues. You can avoid certain concerns involving leg problems and poor circulation when you consider the type of arch that your foot possesses.
Consider the nature of your environmental needs when you begin to look for a decent piece of footwear. Where will you be using these shoes in and with what amount of frequency will you be using them for? If you're someone who will work in cold weather conditions, you need to look for shoes with a decent amount of insulation to provide you with the sufficient amount of warmth that is necessary for comfort and functionality.
It is imperative for you to be as exhaustive as possible when it comes to looking for the perfect shoe. You may have your preferences but there are a number of requirements that you have to pay attention to regardless of differences in style and form. Make it a point to utilize the resources of the internet to increase the potency of your search methods. Try to look for search terms related to uk trainer releases to access web pages that may possess what you're looking for. Use all these strategies and you will be able to secure the ideal pair of trainers for you to use and enjoy.

We were so excited to get the chance to meet Kim Kardashian last week when she flew into town with sisters Khloe and Kourtney to promote the new Kardashian Kollection at Dorothy Perkins. The star is just as beautiful in the flesh as she appears in all the pap shots which left us wondering how we could get a piece of the Kimmy look. Who better to show us than beauty blogger Tanya Burr who had her own brush with Hollywood's A-list this week when she walked the red carpet at the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 London premiere wearing a suitably glam Coast dress and Mulberry Clemmie clutch.
She's previously delved through her makeup bag to give us insight into Brigitte Bardo's 60s siren look, Taylor Swift's all-American style, Made In Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh's party look, Katy Perry's sparkly eye makeup, Emma Stone's winged eyeliner, Audrey Hepburn's timeless look, the gorgeous Victoria's Secret models glowing cheeks and luscious lips, Lana Del Rey's modern 60's look and Olivia Palermo's natural rosy complexion, so we can't wait to find out how to pull off a Kim K's pretty and polished makeup...
Hi guys, today I'm going to give you a step-by-step guide to the glamorous Kim Kardashian's make-up look.
1. Kim's foundation is absolutely perfect and flawless with a full coverage. Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation is great for a Kim look and used with a buffing brush you will avoid having a cakey finish.
2. Use a powder for the brows. Kim's brows are very thick and full but not too dark so simply run the powder through your brows thickening slightly to achieve her strong brow look.
3. Eyeshadow is a key part of Kim's look and she often sports a shimmery and smokey eye. Start by using a light gold colour and sweep the across the lid, up to the crease and into the tear duct with a blending brush. Next run a warm brown colour through the crease and blend it in for a soft finish.
4. Use a black gel liner and brush to create Kim's signature liner look. Run the liner right into the tear duct, across the lash line and finish with a little flick at the end thickening at the outer corner.
5. Run a deep brown shadow under the eye, taking it quite low down to get Kim's look. Then run a charcoal eyeliner across the waterline and add lots of mascara. Add false lashes here if you want to accentuate Kim's dramatic look.
6. For the skin, use a light concealer under the eye as Kim always wear lots of this to contour her face and bring light to it. Next take a bronzer to contour the cheeks, place this quite strongly in the hollows of your cheek as Kim has really prominent cheek bones. After this, take a powder highlighter and place this on top of the cheek bones to accentuate the face. Finish off the skin with a peachy blush which Kim often wears and apply this to the apples of the cheeks. Another tip is to put your powder highlighter under the brow bone and a slight amount down the nose to make it look smaller.
7. Line the lips with a natural colour and finish off with a pretty nude lip gloss for a glamorous Kim Kardashian look!

Movement 1: Ziemlich langsam [Lebhaft]
Movement 2: Scherzo: Lebhaft
Movement 3: Intermezzo: Bewegt, doch nicht zu schnell
Movement 4: Finale: Markiertes, ziemlich lebhaftes Tempo
At first, Clara, Joachim and Brahms declared themselves delighted by the Sonata, and by the Romances for cello that Schumann wrote at the beginning of November. It was only much later that Clara came to associate this music with her husband's madness; in addition to destroying the Romances, she very probably made away with the fair copy of the first movement and Scherzo of the Third Violin Sonata. (The two Schumann movements written for the original collaborative 'F–A–E' Sonata had presumably been too widely disseminated by then for her to recall all the copies.) Luckily, full sketches of the two missing movements survived; an edition of the Sonata was finally published in 1956, the centenary of Schumann's death. The exact notation of some passages is still open to question, because of the unpolished nature of the manuscript. (Even the order of movements is not entirely clear; it is possible that the Intermezzo was supposed to precede the Scherzo—though I cannot believe it.) But on the whole, we can be sure that the editions available today contain the text of the Sonata as Schumann intended it. Only one bar of the piano part of the first movement is missing in the sketch; and we are very grateful to Thomas Adès, who kindly re-composed it for us.
The Sonata is an extraordinary piece—strange, certainly, but fascinating (and addictive!). From the grand opening chords of the introduction we know that this is an important statement, as if Schumann knew that it was to be a valedictory work. This is music of extreme contrasts: the wild passion of the first movement is interrupted by the quiet second subject, imbued with the very special intimacy that sets Schumann apart from any other composer. The second movement is highly original, even experimental: it is impossible to tell whether the scherzo section lasts for only eight bars, and is followed by two trios, or whether the first 'trio' section is in fact the main scherzo, with a singing melody above the dancing rhythm. The Intermezzo is touching, magical—surely there is a strong sense of farewell here? The finale, meanwhile, is touched throughout with eccentric humour, highlights including a crazy fugue that occupies the entire development section, and a coda that explodes into an astonishing blaze of virtuoso fireworks. (Poor Joachim must have suffered a mild cardiac arrest when he was called upon to read it at sight!) It is a fitting conclusion to a work that rounds off Schumann's career as a composer of large-scale forms.
There are three main reasons for my having made this transcription: number one, because Schumann's rather low-register writing for the violin sounds higher, and therefore more brilliant, when transferred to the cello; number two, because the cello deserves some recompense for the cruelly stolen Romances; and number three, because violinists so rarely play this work that they have only themselves to blame if cellists steal it! Oh, and number four: because I adore it.

Los Angeles Times staff photographer Barbara Davidson was awarded a Pulitzer Prize today in the feature-photography category for her work documenting the victims and the families of gang-related crimes. You may remember that these same images were included in last year's
"Pictures of the Year International
" show at the Space. Big congratulations to Barbara!
Barbara was featured in the digital feature for the show and had this to say about her work covering the gang violence for the Times:
"There are a lot of gang stories that we cover. We cover the shooting, we go to funerals and then we stop. We don't show really what happens to these people and how their lives are completely altered. I wanted to follow those stories through.

Just weeks after hackers penetrated the Sony PlayStation Network, the hacking group LulzSec took responsibility for another attack on Sony Online Entertainment. During that attack, information from some 100 million user account profiles was exposed. Then, in October 2011, hackers attacked the PlayStation Network again. The company locked down 93,000 accounts.
Europe's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) launched an investigation. The conclusion: Sony could have prevented the attack if it had kept its security software up to date.
No Apologies
"If you are responsible for so many payment card details and login details then keeping that personal data secure has to be your priority. In this case that just didn't happen, and when the database was targeted -- albeit in a determined criminal attack -- the security measures in place were simply not good enough," said David Smith, deputy commissioner and director of data protection for the ICO.
As Smith sees it, this is a business that should have known better. "It is a company that trades on its technical expertise, and there's no doubt in my mind that they had access to both the technical knowledge and the resources to keep this information safe," Smith said.
Smith called the penalty "substantial" and made no apologies for it because the case was one of the most serious ever reported to his agency. The Sony breach directly affected a huge number of consumers, he said, and at the very least put them at risk of identity theft.
"If there's any bright side to this it's that a PR Week poll shortly after the breach found the case had left 77 percent of consumers more cautious about giving their personal details to other Web sites," Smith said. "Companies certainly need to get their act together but we all need to be careful about who we disclose our personal information to."
Fine Not Big Enough?
Richard S. Westmoreland, a team lead at Perimeter E-Security, said the fine was weak, considering how many people's information was stolen. He also was concerned it did nothing to prevent this type of negligence in the future, because it was reactive, not proactive. (continued...)

And honestly, I cannot choose a favorite from all of those cakes. Maybe I just love cake too much. These are all so good in their own special ways. And all these cakes (except for the Twinkie Cake) start off with a boxed cake mix, then are jazzed up to make them even more special. And if I'm being perfectly honest, that's probably what I love the most. It's so easy to make, everyone thinks it's delicious and I look like a supah-star to my family.

We created Pandora to put the Music Genome Project directly in your hands
It's a new kind of radio –
stations that play only music you like
Mary J. Blige
Born in the Bronx on January 11, 1971, Blige spent the first few years of her life in Savannah, Georgia before moving with her mother and older sister to the Schlobam housing projects in Yonkers, New York. Her rough life there produced more than a few scars, physical and otherwise, and Blige dropped out of high school during her junior year, instead spending time doing her friends' hair in her mother's apartment and hanging out. When she was at a local mall in White Plains, New York, she recorded herself singing Anita Baker's "Caught Up in the Rapture" into a karaoke machine. The resulting tape was passed by Blige's stepfather to Uptown Records CEO Andre Harrell. Harrell was impressed with Blige's voice and signed her to sing backup for local acts like Father MC. In 1991, however, Sean "Puffy" Combs took Blige under his wing and began working with her on What's the 411?, her debut album. Combs had a heavy hand in What's the 411?, along with producers Dave Hall, Mark Morales, and Mark Rooney, and the stylish touches that they added to Blige's unique vocal style created a stunning album that bridged the gap between R&B and rap in a way that no female singer had before. Uptown tried to capitalize on the success of What's the 411? by issuing a remixed version of it a year later, but it was only a modest success creatively and commercially.
Her 1995 follow-up, My Life, again featured Combs' handiwork, and if it stepped back stylistically from its urban roots by featuring less of a rap sound, it made up for it with its subject matter. My Life was full of ghetto pathos and Blige's own personal pain shone through like a beacon. Her rocky relationship with fellow Uptown artist K-Ci Hailey likely contributed to the raw emotions on the album. The period following the recording of My Life was also a difficult time professionally for Blige, as she severed her ties with Combs and Uptown, hired Suge Knight as a financial advisor, and signed with MCA.
Released in 1997, Share My World marked the beginning of Blige's creative partnerships with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. The album was another hit for Blige and debuted at number one on the Billboard charts. Critics soured somewhat on its more conventional soul sound, but Blige's fans seemed undaunted. By the time her next studio album, Mary, came out in 1999, the fullness and elegance of her new sound seemed more developed, as Blige exuded a classic soul style aided by material from Elton John and Bernie Taupin, Stevie Wonder, and Lauryn Hill. Mary made it obvious that the ghetto fabulous style and more confrontational aspects of her music were gone, while the emotive power still remained.
That power also helped carry the more modern-sounding 2001 release No More Drama, a deeply personal album that remained a collective effort musically yet reflected more of Blige's songwriting than any of her previous efforts. The Mary J. Blige on No More Drama seemed miles away from the flashy kid on What's the 411?, yet it was still possible to see the path through her music that produced an older, wiser, but still expressive artist. In 2003 she was reunited with P. Diddy, who produced the majority of that year's patchy Love and Life album. The Breakthrough followed two years later and was a tremendous success, spawning a handful of major singles. By the December 2006 release of Reflections (A Retrospective), The Breakthrough's lead single, "Be Without You," had spent nearly a year on the R&B chart, while the album's fifth single, "Take Me as I Am," had been on the same chart for over four months.
A year later Blige came out with her eighth studio album, Growing Pains. It was her third consecutive studio album to top both the Billboard 200 and the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. While on tour with Robin Thicke during 2008, Blige began working on Stronger with Each Tear, which was released near the end of the following year and came one spot short of topping the Billboard 200. My Life II...The Journey Continues (Act 1), previewed through the Eric Hudson-produced single "25/8," followed in 2011 with appearances from Beyoncé, Drake, Rick Ross, and Busta Rhymes. Like her previous nine studio albums, it reached gold status. (Her first eight surpassed gold to reach either platinum or multi-platinum status.) Her first holiday album, A Mary Christmas, was released in 2013. ~ Stacia Proefrock, Rovi

Hard To Tell
2 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer1834046 on Jul 16, 2012
Purchased at iHerb
My chi mix had either IBS or IBD for a few years, and was eating homemade. He regularly had loose or soft stools and would go up to 6x a day. There was no rhyme or reason as to what caused loose stools, and it got to the point where it seemed like everything bothered him. His moods would swing between his normal energetic self, and lethargy, and his appetite swung too. One day he would eat early and often, then next he might not eat until 10pm or he might skip eating all together. Pancreatitis was ruled out, leaving IBS/IBD. The vet ordered a food trial so I switched to a limited ingredient kibble (Natural Balance Duck & Garbonzo Beans), and she put him on Carafate and Prilosec for 2 weeks. I stopped the Carafate after 5 days so I could start giving Gastriplex. Here is the problem for small animals though: the dose is 1 pill per 15 lbs. My chi is 9.5 lbs, and from what I understand, too much of this can cause gastric upset. But even if I wanted to give a whole pill, he could never swallow this. So I opened each capsule and weighed out the contents which is .5g. I then measure out .32g as being the proper daily dose for my chi. I then divided that in thirds to give a portion with each of his 3 meals. Unfortunately though, this stuff is really bitter and it was extremely difficult getting him to eat it. He would not eat kibble if this was sprinkled on it. I mixed it with a drop of honey and he still would not eat it. I finally got sardines (thankfully a unique protein for him as he had never had it, but even still giving anything extra on a food trial is a no-no, however OMEGA 3s are supposed to help with inflammation so I figured what the heck...)and took about 2g sardine and mashed it in the Gastriplex. My chi readily takes it this way after each meal. What I observed is that changing to kibble made an immediate difference in his stool, like overnight, so I attribute that improvement to switching to a unique protein and carb. The Gastriplex might be helping his GI tract heal. He is getting better over the past few weeks since I started the Gastriplex but that's also when I switched to the food trial, so he could just be healing by his own natural processes. I feel better giving it to him than not though, because the ingredients are all supposed to really help. Maybe his GI *is* healing faster as a result of Gastriplex. Maybe even with the food trial and kibble he would not be doing as well as he is without it. His moods are better but he doesn't have the same energy he had when feeding homemade, and at the conclusion of the food trial I hope to transition him back to homemade. As for Gastriplex, as long as I have it I will continue giving it to him with a little sardine, daily, but when I run out I will let it go and see at that point how he does. I really can't say if it is making any difference or not at this point, but imho it is worth giving him every opportunity to get better.
