Topshop Make Up Edit SS13 (part 1)
It's time for some more exciting new releases from Topshop Make Up – this is the Make Up Edit SS13, with a selection of trend-led products as designed by Topshop Makeup Artist Hannah Murray and the Topshop Design Team. Described as a premium make-up collection that encapsulates those essential, ultimate products to create a sleek polished make up look with a flash of high definition colour.'
And when you see the pictures you will realise that when they say a flash of colour, they aren't kidding…!
First up a mention of the packaging, the glossy silver does have a premium feel but overall I actually prefer the main line of Topshop make up packaging as it feels a little more unique than this collection. I do like how it has the more delicate white dots – as a nice little nod to the main line style.
Now on to the colours…starting, erm…subtle?!
First up is the Lip Paint in the shade 'Low Down' and there is nothing low or down about this bright orange! Right now it looks scary, but I'm sure on tanned skin in Summer it will look just stunning. Sadly I doubt my skin will ever look quite tanned enough to pull it off though!
Next there is 'Straight Ace'…another not so subtle shade! A bright, bright, purple – this one is different to any other purple looking shade I've ever had before. Previously I've had ones that look purple in the bullet but when applied look softer or sheerer – not this one though. What you see if what you get – bight, unashamed purple. Very smooth, very creamy, purple.
Then there's a safer feeling classic product in the form of 'Carbon Copy' mascara – love the wand on this – big fat fluffy brush. Just how I like it!
Then my favourite of the bits I've been playing with – a stick blush in 'Acting Up', which is described as an orange shade. But I find it's on the slightly coral shade of orange, not too orange and when blended it's gorgeous! The swatches above show it blended out and swatched heavily to show how it contrasts.
This is just part one of my posts on the Topshop Make Up Edit SS13 collection – I have another one to come soon!
But what's your view of this Edited collection from Topshop Make Up? Loving the colour pop or a bit daunted by the intense colour?!
Topshop Make Up Edit SS13 available from 15th Feb at topshop.com (prices starting from £6)

Ooh it's out today!! very exciting! I really like the look of the lip paint and the blush, but I think that shade of lipstick is a bit too scary for me to try and pull of! Only for the brave! haha

the lipstick reminds me of the 90s and being a young girl again with the £1 lippies, its fun but not for me now! The blush looks great tho
Hannah Cagney Lace February 15, 2013 at 11:31 am
I think my favourite would have to be the blush stick but probably because it's the most wearable! I love the idea of Topshop doing mini edit collections and the colours you've shown look seriously pigmented. Well done Toppers!

Associated Press
JOHANNESBURG (AP) -- The president of the Central African Republic fled the country for Cameroon after rebels overran the capital of the impoverished nation long wracked by rebellions.
South Africa said Monday that 13 of its soldiers were killed in fighting with rebels, prompting criticism about why its forces had intervened in such a volatile conflict.
Ousted President Francois Bozize sought "'temporary" refuge on its territory, the Cameroonian government confirmed Monday.
Central African Republic's new leadership appeared fragmented, with a split emerging in the rebel coalition that seized the capital.
The African Union on Monday imposed a travel ban and asset freeze on seven leaders of the rebel coalition, known as Seleka, and said their advance had undermined prospects for a lasting solution to the crisis in the landlocked country. It urged African states to deny "any sanctuary and cooperation" to the rebel chiefs.
The United States is "deeply concerned about a serious deterioration in the security situation" in Central African Republic, said U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said in a statement Sunday.
"We urgently call on the Seleka leadership which has taken control of Bangui to establish law and order in the city and to restore basic services of electricity and water," the statement said.
The U.N. Security Council said in a statement that it "strongly condemned the recent attacks and the seizure of power by force in the Central African Republic" and "the ensuing violence and looting." It also denounced the violence that led to the South African casualties.
The Security Council "called on all parties to refrain from any acts of violence against civilians, including foreign communities."
The rebel groups making up the Seleka alliance agreed they wanted Bozize out. Some of the rebels complained of broken promises of government jobs and other benefits. Others cited the deep impoverishment of the country's distant north despite the Central African Republic's considerable wealth of gold, diamonds, timber and uranium.
Africa has a fraught history of foreign military missions, whether for humanitarian or political purposes, or some combination of the two, in times of conflict. The central part of the continent, repeatedly buffeted by interlocking rebellions, is particularly treacherous for countries with an activist foreign policy.
In addition to the South African troop deaths, another 27 soldiers were wounded in the country's worst loss in combat since nine soldiers died in Lesotho in 1998.
"I think South Africa realized right from the beginning that there will be casualties," said Johan Potgieter, a researcher at the Institute for Security Studies, in Pretoria, the South African capital. "If you want to be in peacekeeping, and you don't want body bags, you should get out of there."
South Africa's losses point to the challenges that the country faces as it tries to project continental leadership amid questions about the adequacy of its resources and the clarity of political direction from Pretoria. It has participated in peacekeeping in regions including Burundi and Darfur in Sudan.
South African troops served as trainers for the national army in the Central African Republic. But more troops were sent to protect those trainers as security deteriorated, and critics questioned the collaboration with Bozize, who came to power in a rebellion a decade ago and whose commitment to the terms of past peace deals was in doubt.
This week was meant to be triumphant for South Africa, which will host Brazil, Russia, India and China at the "BRICS" summit. South African President Jacob Zuma gave a speech on Monday that was supposed to celebrate the summit, but he devoted his first remarks to mourning for those killed in the battle in Bangui, the capital of the Central African Republic.
Some 200 South African soldiers were deployed at the Bangui base. Estimates of the size of the rebel force that attacked them ranged from at least five to 15 times bigger, raising questions about the security precautions and reconnaissance abilities of the South African contingent.
South African troops "fought a high-tempo battle for nine hours defending the South African military base, until the bandits raised a white flag and asked for a cease-fire," Zuma said. "Our soldiers inflicted heavy casualties among the attacking bandit forces."
Gen. Solly Shoke, South Africa's military chief, said 3,000 rebels armed with mortars and heavy machine guns took part in the fighting. The bulk of the fighting occurred Saturday, though rebels contacted South African forces early Sunday to arrange and "uneasy truce," the military chief said.
South African authorities were working to identify a body, raising the possibility that the death toll would increase to 14 if it is determined the body is that of the missing serviceman.

A Holy Week Catholic Carnival - #164
It seems to me the title - "Holy Week Carnival" - is somewhat strange. But, as Christians, we are called to glory in the Cross, even as we mourn the death of our savior.
Holy Week is just that, the holiest of weeks. During this final meditation on the passion and death of our Lord, I welcome all new visitors to these pages.
For our regular readers who don't know what a Carnival is - it is a collection of posts from blogs that share an interest or focus, this one is the fact that we are all Catholic (with a few exceptions).
There is a wide selection of posts for the Holy Week carnival this week - enjoy.
Because it is Holy Week, let us start the carnival by visity Heart, Mind & Strength where Kevin reflects on the Palm Sunday readings and has some suggestions for how to finish Lent strong. On the same topic, Lindsay of Contrariwise gives us another point of view on Palm Sunday. Then it is off to visit the Domestic Vocation, where Christine goes back to confession after a few months of missing it. Shouldn't we all go back to confession? Come to think of it, I haven't been recently...
The carnival next visits Leticia, from Cause of Our Joy brings us the High Mass with Bishop Murphy in Uniondale, NY. The Bishop took time to visit the Latin Mass community and they got some great pictures. Of course, everyone is dressed nicer than at your parish and especially mine, which is full of college students.
Then there is a great post by Matthew, of Play the Dad? No, Be the Dad! He opens up his heart to talk about parenting, the loss of miscarriage and changing what he knows about parenting. As another father of five, thanks for the post!
Tausign, from Perfect Joy, brings us a wonderful meditation on the Way of the Cross. A great way to enter into the prayer of Holy Week. While Teresa writes about who she is passing on the same devotion to her son. Then Jean from Catholic Fire reviews two different books on the Way of the Cross. All three remind me to spend some time in prayer walking with Christ this week. Thanks.
Cathy meditates on sin, especially the public kind that causes scandal, and how there is no private sin, but rather, sin ripples out to touch everyone else. Then Fred, from Deep Furrows, gives us reason to hope in God who never loses hope in us.
Alexa of It Takes a Family, writes an epic post about health care. In it, she waxes about how we have made it an idol, rather than a part of life. I couldn't agree more. Do yourself a favor and take it in.
Seth, of CatholicLand!: Fatherhood writes about NFP and Wolves. Seriously. A different way of looking at things, but effective nonetheless. Then we get more on NFP from Melissa at A Third Way. She gives a two-parter on how NFP is good and true. Part I & II. You know it is going to be good when you can't fit it all in one post!
Don't forget that Satan is real and his power over the world is real. This is what Contra tells us at 50 Days After. Two other very real parts of life include both birth and death. Ebeth climbs off of the pillars to tell us about both colliding in her family. Life, birth, evil, Satan, death, salvation - all in two posts.
Next it is on to Sarah's blog, where we wake her up and find a nephew, conversion and a miracle. Good story Sarah!
Two posts about the Domestic Church then bring the carnival into the home. Elena from My Domestic Church writes about a pastoral letter about raising Godly Children. Good thought provoking post. Then Catholic Matriarch in my Domestic Church aka Catholic Mom, Denise, reminds all of us with families about the importance of family meals. My domestic Church is pretty sick right now. :-(
David at the Apostolate of the Laity continues his reflection on the PBXVI's Spe Salvi. If you haven't read it yet, do yourself a favor and pick up this great encyclical. David particularly focuses on the cross, which is very poignant this time of the year.
Gretchen is new to the Carnival this week. She posts from her very nice blog, Proto-Catholic about faith from her perspective as a convert. Thanks for joining us Gretchen!
Now we are off to prison with Deo Omnis Gloria, who has a guest post from a minister to prisoners. It is a great apologetic on the foundations on which the Catholic Church sits. Nicely put together through years of experience.
Heidi, from Mommy Monsters Inc. (one of my favorite blog names) asks us all to come spend a day at the Toledo Zoo with her, virtually. Once we do that, we can go to the Sistine Chapel with Jen, from Daughter of the King, and see Michaelangelo in a whole new light. I will never look at the drawing of creation in the same way.
Next it is off to the cold North (hey, I live in Texas) to visit Sean, A Catholic Canadian, as he explains new math and how to calculate more than 40 days in 40 days of Catholic media.
Then we visit New York, again, where Mary from Not Strictly Spiritual, gives us a great post on why Catholics leave the Church, culture, sexuality, scandal and more. Then Pat, the Paragraph Farmer, writes an open letter to a friend about the misinformation about the Church that John Hagee is spreading (Random tidbit #4521 - I went to High School with Hagee's son).
The last part of the carnival is one of the more interesting submissions is from a Muslim, not a Catholic, who writes about the Pope's call to dialogue with Muslims. Because this is a priority for our leader, it should be a priority for us, so Saifuddin gets his part in the carnival.
Last, but not least (but latest), Mark From Faithful Web gives us a nice laugh on filling out your March Madness brackets - Church style.
Thanks for visiting. Come back soon!

Sunlight reaches in through the windows and bounces off floors, ceilings and walls to reach the interior of each volume, while automatic shades reduce heat gain when it gets too hot. The building's atrium spaces allow hot air to rise up and out of the tip-top of the tower, where a vertical axis wind turbine takes advantage of the draft. The building also features high performance lighting with photosensors, radiant floor heating, rainwater collection, water-efficient fixtures and interior garden spaces.
The tower's form was inspired by Taiwan's diamond industry, traditional origami, the Eiffel Tower, and the star, which is part of Taiwan's flag. Combining all of these visual icons together into one building results in a large star-shaped, multi-faceted tower designed to rival Taiwan's other famous skyscrapers. The eco tower would stand over 350 meters tall and includes offices for Taichung City Government, leisure and recreational spaces, retail and educational centers, and the new Museum of Taichung City Development.

Jasper Johns: Gray
Catalog of the exhibition by James Rondeau and Douglas Druick, with contributions by Mark Pascale,
Born in the American South in 1930, Jasper Johns dazzled the New York art world with his first one-man show at the Leo Castelli Gallery in 1958. The paintings of targets, flags, maps, alphabets, and numbers he exhibited in the following decade helped to lead American art away from the then dominant New York School of Abstract Expressionism and to reintroduce representation into American art. By choosing to paint motifs that were instantly recognizable and already flat, Johns could dispense with illusion to focus the viewer's attention instead on the picture's texture, color, and brushwork. A superb craftsman, Johns skillfully applied encaustic (hot wax mixed with pigment) to canvas or newspaper to transform readymade images into achingly beautiful works of art in which each separate star, stripe, numeral, or letter is accorded equal importance in the aesthetic whole. Those who first saw the red, white, and blue flags, painted edge-to-edge on a canvas that was the same shape as an actual flag, had to ask themselves whether they were flags, or paintings of flags, or something between the two.
Johns also talked about art in different ways from the Abstract Expressionists. Barnett Newman once claimed that if "read…properly my work would mean the end of all state capitalism and totalitarianism." But in a sketchbook note from the early Sixties, Johns wrote, "Take an object, do something to it. Do something else to it." At a time when the collectors John and Dominique de Menil commissioned Mark Rothko to paint monumental triptychs for their nondenominational chapel in Houston (1965–1966), Johns decided that "looking at a painting should not require a special kind of focus like going to church."
Whereas Rothko's floating expanses of dark color seemed to offer the possibility that art can provide transcendental spiritual experience, Johns's work was down to earth. A flag or target by Johns is a real object occupying a real space, which the artist made by using certain procedures in a certain order. In his paintings you don't find anything that Johns didn't deliberately put into them—and that the viewer can't see that he put into them. This is the moral center of his art. It doesn't lie, it doesn't deceive, and it doesn't signify anything other than what the viewer can see in front of his eyes.
More than half a century has passed since Johns's first flags and maps. They have been written about so often and seen in so many exhibitions, including an apotheosis of a retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in 1996, that you'd think there was nothing new to say about them. And yet a show about Johns's use of gray that opened at the Metropolitan Museum in February focuses on an aspect of his work that has received little attention before: the large number of pictures in which he uses little or no color.
The show opens with a comparison between False Start and Jubilee, both paintings in oil on canvas from 1959. The first is a surprising picture to find in a show about Johns's use of gray, since what we see is a red, yellow, and blue field of interlocking starburst patterns interspersed with slashes of orange, white, and gray. Its brushwork parodies the gestural expressiveness of Action Painting because paint is applied not in a frenzy of creative inspiration, but slowly and methodically. Johns then stencils the names of colors over the smears of paint—and nine times out of ten he gets them wrong so that the word RED appears over a yellow splodge, BLUE over orange, and RED over blue.
Jubilee is a near replica of False Start but slightly smaller and painted in tones of black, gray, and white. Look closely and you find traces of blue, red, and orange paint in the lower right, while buried in the center of the canvas you discover streaks of blue, red, and purple. The dark tones therefore have been used to cancel the bright colors out, as though the picture we see obscures a more colorful one underneath.
In False Start Johns used unmixed primary colors just as they come, straight out of the tube. The longer you look the odder it seems that the color names don't match the colors over which they are stenciled. Is it possible that Johns got the names "wrong" because he couldn't see the colors? Isn't Jubilee—a black-and-white picture stenciled with the names of colors we can't see—exactly what a colorblind person experiences when he looks at an abstract painting he has been told is full of color?
In a thoughtful essay in the exhibition catalog Douglas Druick raises the issue of whether Johns has difficulty distinguishing one color from another. Obviously this is a fundamental concern in an exhibition wholly given over to his use of gray since it would offer a simple explanation for the number of monochromatic flags, targets, maps, and numbers on view.1 But with Johns, these things are never—so to speak—either black or white. A lot of Johns's paintings don't have gray in them at all. As evidence of Johns as a skillful colorist you can point to any number of later paintings such as Usuyuki of 1979, in which he uses a subtle palette of flesh color and mauve with touches of ochre and light blue, while in recent years he's used calypso colors of cockatoo green, red, and yellow in pictures painted on the Caribbean island of St. Martin. Still, since Druick raised the question, I wonder why no one associated with this ambitious show bothered to ask the artist himself what he sees when he looks at the world. All we can say for certain is that here, and in many other early paintings, Johns has painted as if he were colorblind or color-impaired.
Apart from this, the exhibition reminds us that monochromatic, achromatic, and gray paintings have been at the heart of Johns's work since the first gray encaustics in 1956. Here is what he says about them:
I used gray encaustic to avoid the color situation. The encaustic paintings were done in gray because to me this suggested a kind of literal quality that was unmoved or unmovable by coloration and thus avoided all the emotional and dramatic quality of color. Black and white is very leading. It tells you what to say or do. The gray encaustic paintings seemed to me to allow the literal qualities of the painting to predominate over any of the others.
Johns's explanation is perfectly straightforward. In the hands of any artist gray can suggest melancholy, loss, or indifference—or it may have no connotations at all. In a gallery devoted to his gray flags you see clearly how Johns takes a theme and then plays variations on it in oil, encaustic, collage, sculpt-metal, aluminum, watercolor, charcoal, and ink. As the medium and technique change in each work, so does the expressive tone. In an exquisitely refined early drawing in graphite of a flag (owned by the Museum of Modern Art), for example, the lack of color is simply a function of the medium. For all its sensuality, if there is any particular color symbolism in a massive painting in acrylic of 1959 in which two American flags are stacked one on top of the other, I couldn't detect it.
But then we come to an exception. Most of Johns's flags are horizontal in format, but in a collaged canvas of 1971 painted in dark gray encaustic, the flag hangs downward, as though displayed from a window or perhaps draped over a coffin. From close up, you see that the stripes are made from strips of torn fabric, like bandages. Here gray carries a connotation of mourning. The flag is still a flag, but by changing its orientation and by his choice of materials, color, and working method Johns turns the image into a symbol for a country mortally wounded by the ongoing war in Vietnam.
Interesting though all this is, it would hardly be worth doing a whole show about Johns's work in gray if that's all we learned from it. But by bringing together so many dark-toned works, this exhibition allows us to see something that I, for one, had not quite realized about Johns's early paintings—that words like "melancholy" and "indifference" don't begin to describe their utter emotional desolation. In them, he is capable of touching depths of feeling that you find in no other American artist with the exception of Jackson Pollock.
But he does it so quietly that you are hardly aware of what is happening. In Coat Hanger of 1959 Johns hangs an ordinary wire coat hanger from a canvas painted in mottled tones of dark gray. I had always seen the coat hanger as a banal motif taken from the real world, used like the flags and numbers to make us stop worrying about the subject and look at the painting as a painting. But seeing it in this show, it looks like a stark symbol of absence and loss—what's left behind when the bags are packed or the lover has departed.
In the same gallery hangs Tennyson (1958), two vertical canvases bolted together from behind to form one monumentally scaled painting covered in dark gray encaustic. From a distance Tennyson could almost be mistaken for one of Ad Reinhardt's all-black paintings. But the curator of the Met show, James Rondeau, convincingly argues that it is actually intended to be seen as an adult-sized, neatly made-up double bed, complete with a sheet or blanket (actually one canvas folded over another) and a place at the top for two pillows.
In his inspired discussion of the picture, Rondeau relates Tennyson to Robert Rauschenberg's Bed, a colorful combine (a three-dimensional assemblage combining sculpture, painting, and collage) made in 1955 in which the artist sloshed and dripped primary colors over a real sheet, pillow, and patterned bed cover. But whereas Rauschenberg's turbulent sheets are alive with sex and violence, Johns's bed is cold, untouched, a place not of love or hate but of sepulchre. As in Jubilee, we find traces of red, yellow, and blue at the bottom of the canvas, evidence of underpainting that in turn suggests feelings that have been damped down, denied, obliterated.
The picture's title, stenciled in big letters across the bottom of the canvas as though on a tombstone, invokes the name of the author of "In Memoriam A.H.H.," an elegiac poem about the poet's love for his recently deceased friend Arthur Hallam. Tennyson doesn't feel autobiographical, at least not in the same way Johns's later work is, but it does reveal a lot about the artist's state of mind when he painted it. As in nearby canvases incorporating a drawer that can't be opened and a canvas turned face down, Tennyson shuts the world out. The painting speaks of loneliness and isolation so profound that even longing has no place in it.
Johns himself said in 1977 that he is "not a very accomplished colorist" and connected this to his occasional incapacity to discriminate between colors.↩

It was the perfect, spring Saturday for an outdoor adventure. My good friend and I would be competing in the annual Urban Dare Adventure Race of Phoenix/Tempe.
The Urban Dare Adventure Race is a 5- to 7-mile race, similar to the "Amazing Race."
First, we competed in the costume contest with our team name of the "MissFits." We were then given a sheet of 12 clues with activities ranging from photo hunts, dares and physical challenges. All checkpoints had to be completed by either walking, running or using public transportation. We finished quite exhausted, but my friend and I both had a great experience. And I'm pretty sure we would do it again!
Visit urbandare.com for more information and to see other cities where the race is being held.

London hotels
When to book your trip
Witness the Changing of the Guard in royal London
A cosmopolitan city, London is an epicenter of global finance and politics where cultures intertwine, neighborhoods hold secrets whispered through time, and famous events like London Fashion Week take place on an annual basis. The metropolitan area draws millions of visitors each year to attractions such as the Houses of Parliament, which features the 16-story clock tower Big Ben, and Buckingham Palace. Set on the banks of the River Thames, London offers a fantastic mix of history, food, shopping and museums. The pageantry of the Changing of the Guard and Trooping the Colour create spectacles adored by all, while modern marvels include one of the world's biggest observation wheels.
Things to see and do
Cultural attractions
Exhibits at institutions such as the Royal Museum, the National Gallery, and the Imperial War Museum provide insightful perspectives of the country. From the First World War Galleries to the history of "Jack the Ripper", and artworks dating back to medieval times, enjoy a window on the past by visiting any of these attractions.
City buildings that have stood for hundreds of years include Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, and the Royal Albert Hall where you can catch a concert in the evenings. The Tower of London is guarded by the legendary Beefeaters, while inside the diamond-studded Crown Jewels glitter for guests throughout the day.
Stroll along historic footpaths in colorful Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, or enjoy a spectacular bird's-eye view of the city from atop the London Eye.
London' districts are attractions in their own right, and if you take a trip through the East End you will discover the setting for numerous films and television shows. View the ancient street layout and medieval churches in The City, the earliest Roman settlement, or visit Greenwich, home of the Prime Meridian. The Leicester Square neighborhood houses famous Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square, and city tours are a great way to scale the geography of sprawling London.
Shopping and dining
Power shoppers will discover the haute couture boutiques and trendy designer stores of Knightsbridge, Bond Street and Covent Garden, as well as Oxford and Regent Streets. In addition to high-end clothes, you can also find vintage apparel in quirky local establishments.
Once known for its ubiquitous fish and chips, bangers and mash, and even eels, London has since emerged as a center of gastronomic delights. This melting pot of cultures creates a restaurant scene that thrives on fusion and international cuisine. Foodies can enjoy high tea and Anglo-Indian dishes like chicken tikka masala, Turkish kebabs and Mexican-style burritos.
Nightlife and entertainment
When the sun sets after a day of sightseeing, guests can visit local pubs and live music venues featuring internationally-acclaimed DJs and bands. Tracing its origins to Shakespeare, London's West End Theatre district presents musicals and plays starring famous actors from screen and stage. You can also enjoy performances in the Opera House, where the Royal Symphony, Opera and Ballet companies are showcased.
This English capital hosts a series of yearly celebrations that include Wimbledon and other major sporting events, the Notting Hill Carnival, the Lord Mayor's Show and the Totally Thames Festival.
Best time to visit
Spring is one of the best times to visit London. In addition to mild temperatures, the city's parks and gardens begin to bloom. Humidity levels tend to be higher in the summer months, but those looking to sample strawberries and cream, or Pimm's at the tennis should book a stay in late June or early July.
Travel and hotels are more likely to be reasonably priced and readily available in the fall and winter monthsalthough visitors should be aware that London is popular for Christmas gift shopping in December.
Where to stay
From Bayswater and Paddington to Knightsbridge, the West End and Camden, the neighborhood where you choose to vacation in London will depend very much upon what you want to do on your trip. Historic hotels like Flemings Mayfairthe second oldest in the capitalhave a Georgian flair that harks back to the days when carriages rolled through the streets while contemporary accommodations include the K West and the Apex. Prices range quite dramatically, so it's best to search around online before you go.
Travel information
Visitors can reach London through one of six airports, including Gatwick (LGW), Heathrow (LHR) and Stansted (STN). Traveling between these aviation gateways and London's major attractions is easy due to the city's comprehensive public transportation network. Options include the iconic red double-decker buses, Docklands Light Railway and the Underground, as well as Thames River commuter boats and pleasure cruises. Consider using an Oyster Card, a contactless smartcard, instead of individual paper tickets, to save time and money. Another option for traveling within the English city is taking one of London's world-famous black cabs.

Czech multilateral aid in 2011
27.02.2013 / 14:45
Czech contributions to international organisations belonging to ODA in 2011 (mil. USD):
|Volume (USD million)
|Multilateral ODA Ratio (%)
|UN programmes, funds and agencies
|European Union
|World Bank Group
|Regional development banks
|Other organisations
Involvement in UN development activities
Multilateral development assistance provided by the Czech Republic within the United Nations has been significantly modified in recent years. In cooperation with the United Nations, the Czech Republic has adopted modernisation measures, bringing its assistance on par with that provided by developed countries. The year 2004 was significant, as the Czech Republic ceased to receive any assistance, instead becoming exclusively a donor country. Development cooperation projects carried out under the auspices of the United Nations are subject to strict audits, which make their benefits and effectiveness free from any doubts.
Similarly to previous years, assistance in 2011 was provided via mandatory contributions, arising directly from the membership in applicable organisations (UNIDO, FAO, WHO etc.) as well as targeted contributions towards specific UN funds and programmes (UNDP, UNV, UNHCR).
The amount of individual contributions is derived from a United Nations contribution scale valid for the given period. Targeted contributions enable the financing of activities pursued by the international community in those sectors that do not receive any funding, or that receive only the minimum funding from mandatory contributions of the member states. This method is applied especially within the United Nations, where dozens of programmes and funds financed exclusively by voluntary contributions of the member states exist alongside individual expert organisations.
In 2011, the Czech Republic provided the United Nations with contributions amounting to USD 8.37 million, qualifying as official development assistance in accordance with OECD methodology.
Involvement in EU development activities
The European Union is the most important collective provider of development assistance and a prominent advocate of the positive principles in its implementation. The Czech Republic participates in the drafting and implementation of EU policy. Pursuant to the Lisbon Treaty, development cooperation is among the shared responsibilities: EU activities are complementary to activities pursued by the member states.
Development cooperation funded from the EU budget and by the European Development Fund
External cooperation of the EU consists of seven instruments that receive funding from the EU budget, with additional funds, which go beyond the EU budget, being provided by the European Development Fund (EDF). The most important tools in terms of the amount of funding provided to EU development programmes are, besides the EDF, the three geographically focused instruments: Development Cooperation Instrument (DCI); the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA); and the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI). In terms of the Czech Republic's foreign priorities, the European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR) is also considered significant.
Within the committees for the individual instruments, the Czech Republic participated in the programming of EU development assistance for individual partner countries (approving strategic documents, multi-annual orientation programmes and annual plans of action). In 2011, a mid-term review was also initiated of the first three years of individual development programme implementation.
Contributions to the EU budget represent a significant part of multilateral development assistance, and a growing trend is expected in the future years. Just like any other EU member state, the Czech Republic counts a certain percentage of its member contribution towards the official development assistance total. In 2010, that percentage share amounted to approximately USD 110 million.
In terms of EU development assistance implementation, the Czech Republic has strived to increase the participation of Czech entities in the implementation of projects funded from the EU instruments for external assistance. To this end, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic, working closely with other government departments and business associations, promoted in 2010 the participation of Czech entities within EU projects. Based on the preliminary results of a survey carried out by the Czech Forum for Development Cooperation (FoRS), in 2010 Czech non-governmental organisations (members of the FoRS) received funding from the financial instruments for EU external assistance amounting to USD 5.24 million to implement various development projects.
Czech business entities also increasingly participate in the implementation of projects funded from the EU instruments. Their success rate within selection procedures so far has not corresponded to the capacities available in the Czech Republic and to the Czech expertise in the relevant sectors of industrial production, services and research. The Czech Republic, nevertheless, remains one of the most successful EU- 12 states in this respect. The increased involvement of Czech entities could open up a host of interesting economic and diplomatic opportunities.
Involvement in OECD development activities
Development Assistance Committee (DAC)
The OECD's Development Assistance Committee (DAC) represents the most developed countries of the world (development cooperation donors) and is considered the most important international forum for the coordination of development cooperation. The Committee monitors global development in a wider context and ensures the coherence of rules, while also providing strategic and statistical inputs necessary for the drafting and implementation of development cooperation rules and effectiveness. In 2010, the DAC assisted in the monitoring and assessment of the impacts of the global financial and economic crisis.
The Czech Republic actively participates in the activities of selected OECD/DAC working groups. For now, the Czech Republic maintains its "observer" status within the DAC. Due to historical reasons, only 23 OECD countries out of the total 34 and the European Union are members of the DAC. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic takes part in the DAC's activities, having full access to OECD/DAC statistics, as well as Peer Review methodology and results.
International financial institutions
International Development Association (IDA)
The International Development Association (IDA) is one of the member institutions of the World Bank Group. Founded in 1960, its principal mission is to provide assistance to the poorest developing countries in education, health, drinking water, the social network, the fight against HIV/AIDS and so on. A total of 79 countries whose GNP per capita in 2009 did not exceed 1,135 USD are presently entitled to receive IDA funding. Since 1990, the Czech Republic has been one of the donor countries.
Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative (MDRI)
Founded in 2006, the MDRI' aim is to completely relieve selected developing countries of their debts vis-à-vis the International Development Association. The government of the Czech Republic approved an unconditional commitment to provide, between 2007 and 2019, funds totalling USD 5.8 million and, for 2020 to 2044, it approved a conditional commitment to provide a total of USD 14.6 million.
Global Environment Facility (GEF)
The GEF is administered by the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, part of the World Bank Group. Financing of GEF activities is provided for by the GEF Trust Fund. The budget period consists of four years, with GEF-5 currently in progress (1 July 2010 – 30 June 2014).
International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD)
The Articles of Agreement of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development were drafted at the Bretton Woods Conferences in 1944 and 1946. The IBRD strives to reduce poverty in middle-income countries as well as in creditworthy countries through the provision of loans, guarantees and other assistance, including analytical and consultancy services on behalf of sustainable development.
European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)
The EBRD was founded in 1991 to assist the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia as they transitioned to a market economy.
In 2007 the Czech Republic was the first, and so far the only country, to have been promoted within EBRD operations to an official economically developed country and, as a developed EBRD member, has successfully participated in a number of projects. The Czech Republic has built a respected position among the new EU member states as an active partner due to, inter alia, the timing of its joining of the Western Balkans Fund in 2006, and due to founding its own Czech Techni

Excellent service from Kiddicare
Good product
great value for money and lovely and soft. Wash and tumble dry well. Fit the mattress perfectly (70 x140cm)
This is a lovely, soft fitted sheet but when I put it on my standard size Baby Weavers cot mattress (suitable for cot or cot bed) it was extremely baggy. I ended up tucking it in all the way round, negating the benefits of having a fitted sheet. I find myself (stupidly) hoping that it will shrink when I wash it.

Comments about ZiwiPeak Good Dog Deer Antler Dog Treat:
Joe, my TFT loved this antler, and it the right size for him. Not only did he find enjoyment in his antler I believed it relaxed and distressed him too. Joe kicked back, chopped on his antler for a few, and then hit the bed- Very good product for Joe.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Dog Antler
By Francine
from Bellmore New York
I just adopted a Lab / boxer mix from down south.I have four dogs in my home since I was little never have I had a chewer like this dog. The antler has saved my furniture and kids toys. She loves it and it takes her a week or so to finish it she can eat a large bully stick in about 30min the deer antler has saved me.
Safe, No-Harm Chewing
By Crystal
from York, PA
I love that these antlers are naturally-fallen, meaning there was no harm done to any animal to produce this. They are long-lasting and my Boston Terrier loves them. They don't fall apart or leave messes where she chews it. There are no chemicals or any toxins used to make the antlers either, so they are all-around a great natural choice.
A good and long chew...
By Tina
from Oregon, IL
This is a long and lasting chew even for the most agressive chewers.
Makes a happy little dog!
By Gypsy
from Fort Myers, FL
I have a Havanese. Until now everything I have bought along this line for her has been too big, too heavy, or shaped wrong for her to chew. This antler is absolutely perfect!! She has spent hours chewing first on the small end and then on the larger one. She can carry it all over the house and jump up on the couch with it, too. It just doesn't get any better than this!!
didn't like
By dog lover
from chgo il
I was hoping my silky terrier would enjoy this as much as the raw hide flossies but she had no interest in it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Very Hard Treat
By PapillonLover
from Saint Louis, MO
About Me New Owner
This chew is pretty good, however, I think it might be too hard for my little Papillon. She chews on it occasionally, but she goes more for the softer chews like Flossies.

My Eskie loved this.I like the fact it is natural & lasts a long time.The down side is that the "medium" is only 4 inches.
The BEST for my dog!!
By Abbey & Artemis
from Los Angeles, CA
My long haired shaded red Miniature Dachshund (9 lbs) she just turned 4 and her favorite food is Ziwipeak venison/fish. Every Ziwipeak is so awesome she loves these deer antlers I mean she goes CRAZY over them!! When I take it out of her face Abbey makes a sad face and begs me to return it! I would always get this deer antler just to spoil my girl! Ziwipeak is the best!! Dogs love it! :D

The epic saga of the pilgrims and their journey to and colonization of the New World is one of the fundamental narratives of our nation. Yet the true tale of this determined band of English Separatists bears little resemblance to the popular myth portrayed in grade school pageants. History takes a definitive look at the incredible pilgrimage that brought these unlikely pioneers - who endured religious persecution in their homeland and endless perils on the Atlantic - to the alien shores of a new continent in The Mayflower. From their treacherous ocean passage to their struggle to survive through winter, History explores the true story of the pilgrims, including their relationship with the Native Americans, their historic first Thanksgiving and how the colony's saga continued in the decades after their fateful voyage.
