Campus Voices: Kelly Wellman
Meet Kelly Wellman: Kelly Wellman serves as the Sustainability Officer for Texas A&M University. She is responsible for educating the campus about sustainability, promoting sustainable practices both on and off campus and providing resources and support for people who wish to incorporate sustainable practices into their work and life. She is a member of the campus Tree Advisory Committee, Sustainability & Environmental Management Committee and the Student Sustainability Council. Wellman represents the university as a member on Texas Regional Alliance for Campus Sustainability. She holds a bachelor's degree in geography from Texas A&M and a Master of Business Administration from the University of Phoenix.
What gives you the most hope for the future of the environment, locally and globally?
Working with students fills me with optimism for the future. So many of them are socially and environmentally aware and they genuinely want to make a difference – not just for themselves – but for our global community. When I see the Aggie Core Values come to life through our students and their passion for positive change, it refuels me for the challenges our society faces.
What's the newest project/initiative that the sustainability office is working on and what makes it significant?
We are conducting a pilot of our new Sustainable Office Certification (SOC) program. The goal of this program is to make Texas A&M's staff and faculty more aware of sustainable practices that can be easily incorporated into everyday life, while collectively reducing the consumption of goods or services. Many of our offices outreach programs target students and the SOC is the first program which specifically targets faculty and staff. This is significant because faculty and staff are often members of the campus community for longer periods of time than students; therefore, when sustainable behaviors are incorporated, they can have longer-term impacts.
What are some of the green initiatives on campus that you're most excited about?
Our campus has so many great things happening around sustainability. Whether it's the new energy efficient Combined Heat & Power (CHP) plant and Energy Stewardship programs, the successful University Dining recycling and composting initiative, sustainability programs in Residence Life, or the myriad alternative transportation programs such as ride sharing or car sharing; our campus has numerous means of addressing our operational needs for sustainable systems model. Our office has been specifically working on ways to increase student participation and outreach and we are excited about our student volunteer program. We have begun using student enthusiasm to launch programs such as the Sustainability Cam where we move around campus and capture photos of people performing sustainable actions. These photos are then shared on our Facebook page. The Sustainability Cam is one example of how we want to leverage social media to spread the word about sustainability.
What's a project you'd like to get started that isn't off the ground yet?
One of our future projects will be to launch a Sustainable Awards program. Many departments and colleges are working towards sustainability in a variety of exciting ways. We want to develop a program that recognizes the vision and efforts of these campus leaders on an annual basis.
How does Texas A&M compare with some of our peer institutions when it comes to sustainability?
Texas A&M is well on its way to becoming a sustainability leader. For institutional comparisons, we look to the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System™ (STARS) for benchmarks. STARS is a transparent, self-reporting framework for colleges and universities to measure their sustainability performance. STARS® was developed by AASHE, an acknowledged thought leader that advances sustainability in the higher education community.
Texas A&M recently published our STARS assessment and we are pleased to report that our institution earned a Silver rating. To date, 178 campuses have completed assessments, of which 51% of institutions were also rated as Silver. The complete report can be found here.
How optimistic about the future are you when it comes to the green movement on campus?
Students have been a driving force in campus sustainability programs across the nation. Aggies are no exception. Our students have worked to bring increasing awareness to sustainability. As an example, the students passed a referendum in 2010 to charge $3/semester for an environmental fee. This established the Aggie Green Fund (AGF) which generates an estimated $320,000 annually for environmental improvements to our campus. AGF is responsible for funding programs such as outdoor recycling containers, water bottle filling stations and a student farm program.

Banks, because of their central role in operating the payment system and in managing customers' income and savings, have always been subject to stricter financial reporting rules than other companies.Financial reporting in the banking sector In the EU is governed by the Banking Accounts Directive (86/635/EEC), which was approved in 1986. This directive shares many of the elements of the Accounting Directives (the Fourth and Seventh Company Law Directives) and applies...
The system of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted in the EU is intended mainly for "Public interest Entities" - generally those firms quoted on public stock markets or in regulated branches such as banking or insurance. Complying with the requirement of the full IFRS involves significant costs, which would be an excessive burden on smaller firms. As a result, small and medium-sized entities (SMEs), which are estimated to make up more than 95% of all business entities, are generally subject to a less complex set of reporting requirements...
The EU's Fourth and Seventh Accounting Directives set out the acquis communautaire's legal framework for accounting in the EU. These directives require the annual preparation of a profits and loss account and of a balance sheet and, in addition, that an independent auditor produce a statutory audit of the accounts for limited liability companies...
Undertakings in the insurance sector are subject to specific accounting rules. The EU's Insurance Accounts Directive sets out the acquis communautaire's legal framework for accounting for insurance undertakings in the EU, while IFRS 4, which is currently in the process of being updated by the IASB, is the international reporting standard for insurance undertakings.
The EU's regulation of auditing is currently governed by a directive (the Statutory Audit Directive) which came into force in June 2006. This directive (2006/43/EC) replaces the previous Eighth Company Law Directive from 1984 and it is therefore sometimes known as the "new eighth directive". It was introduced in the wake of a series of accounting scandals in both the US and the EU and was intended to raise public confidence in the reliability of audited accounts in the EU...
There is a complex array of institutions dealing with financial reporting and the related issues of financial regulation at the national, European and global levels.
The following table attempts to summarize the roles of the main institutions involved in financial reporting...
In the wake of several accounting scandals in the 1990s, national governments across the world sought to raise popular confidence in the integrity of financial statements through measures to make auditors more independent of the companies that they were auditing and also to subject them to more independent scrutiny...
Banking has always been subject to a greater degree of regulation than other industries and the international financial crisis has led to a range of new regulatory measures that seek to reduce the chances of the crisis being repeated.Banking regulation is largely the responsibility of national financial supervisors. These supervisors are usually either formally part of the central bank or work closely with it.
Just as banks are subject to a system of prudential supervision, the EU acquis communautaire requires insurance undertakings to meet additional regulatory requirements set by prudential supervisors. The EU's system of prudential supervision for the insurance sector has recently been reformed with a new EU-wide regulatory authority, the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) being set up in Jauanary 2011 and having greater powers than the Committee of national regulators that it replaced.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

There is no doubt that MS Word is a wonderful product: and yet…who can afford to buy it if it doesn't come preinstalled? Who can keep up with the endlessly proliferating versions none of which seem to be compatible with the versions? Who wants to bother with the ridiculous license and keys and codes that are designed to thwart the great crime of using the same program across several users? Who can stand to update it online when the simplist functions require juggling CDs and typing in ever more security codes? Oh and then there's the glorious features which seem to have no other function than to muck up the page with a blizzard of tags and fonts and auto-that-and-this.
Well, I've had it. In the same way that you dumped IE for Firefox, consider the clarity, cleanliness, and, most of all, price ($0!!!) of Open Office, an open source version of the MS Office Suite. It's a wonderful program that seems to keep all of Word's good stuff while throwing out the bad. I'm addicated and I'll never go back (ceteribus paribus).12:13 pm on March 1, 2005 Email Jeffrey Tucker

The weekend has come and gone and yes, the bootloader on Verizon's Galaxy S3 remains locked. We have root in a round about way, but as you have probably read across Android forums, this phone is going to take some time to crack. As of now, it's essentially like one of Motorola's many locked phones, only is a bit harder to swallow since Samsung had previously never locked a device down like this. Speaking of that, Verizon's official support account was quick to put the blame on Samsung over the weekend, something I think most of us have a hard time believing. (more…)
Galaxy SIII
Verizon Galaxy S3 Rooted, Custom Recovery Flashed.
I'll do my best to save the choice words that I have over the fact that Verizon's Galaxy S3 is the only one in the world with a locked bootloader, and instead let you have fun with that. What I will say, is that I thought we'd have root by the end of weekend and we had it before last night came to a close. The folks over at RootzWiki rooted the device by flashing a custom system.img file with su, that then allows you to push a recovery.img like CWM. It's a great first step.
Unfortunately, the bootloader is still locked, so there is work to be done on that front if we want custom kernels and a fully open device. It's tough to tell if we'll ever fully unlock, but you know that there will be groups working on it. Just like with root, give it some time.
Lastly, I'll say this one more time – the ONLY Galaxy S3 in the world, that we know of, to have a locked bootloader. The only. AT&T was fine with it being open, as was T-Mobile and Sprint. This one though, locked. Classy.

Cheers Steven, Brian and Terris!
CyanogenMod 9 Nightlies Hit the Galaxy SIII, Stock Android Available Right Now
The Samsung Galaxy SIII is the most anticipated phone of 2012 and is likely to make a huge splash in the States when it launches later this month. It stands to get a few more followers now with the announcement that CM9 for the device is already available for download, for the unlocked international version that is. Knowing Samsung's fairly open approach to Android though, we would be shocked if the U.S. versions weren't running some form of CM within a week or so after release.
There are only a few bugs to be spoken for at this point:
- FM Radio: currently not supported, try Spirit FM from market
- Camera: using LED flash causes FCs on some phones.
- Waking the device up using volume keys might not work because the device is sleeping too deep and doesn't recognize key presses.
If you're one of the lucky people to have the Galaxy SIII in your hands already, the download is available for you now at the source link below.
Are you going to keep Samsung's new Nature UX or flash a custom ROM when you get yours?

Samsung Galaxy SIII Has Been Rooted.
The Samsung Galaxy SIII has apparently been rooted by famed hacker Chainfire. As you know, the phone isn't even out yet, but this is good news for those planning to pick up the device in the coming weeks. He isn't able to release the "insecure" kernel yet as it may be traceable back to the source, so you'll just have to take his word for it. Knowing his track record with Samsung devices, that shouldn't be a problem.
Obviously, this root method has been done to the international version of the phone and not the U.S. variants, since they haven't even been announced yet. When those do arrive though, we're sure someone will figure it out there as well.

Driving with an Older Crowd
My son is 14 years old, and we are concerned. He wants to go places with his friends who will drive him. These are not bad places, and he is responsible. We want to know if we should let him go.
If your son's friends are old enough to drive, they must be at least 16, correct? There is always a concern when a younger teen spends time with older teens. With adolescents, two years can make a big difference. The older teens may already be experimenting, and your son may be exposed to things -- cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, sex -- and find it difficult to say no. Add the driving and the situation could become dangerous.
Does your son have friends his age? If so, what are these boys doing for entertainment? I would try to encourage him to stay with friends who are his age for a while. Delay having him socialize with older teens as long as possible. If he insists on going out with these boys, then arrange other transportation for him. He may be upset, but he will be safe.

Dad Accused of Driving Drunk With Son in Car Has Been Convicted Before
MIAMI TOWNSHIP -- Miami Township Police are commending concerned employees at a Steak and Shake, after they called 911 because they thought a man was driving drunk, with his 13-year-old son in the back seat.
Officers arrested 38-year-old Michael Valiante, after they say he was driving while intoxicated.
As it turns out, that wasn't the first time he was in the back seat of a cruiser for an OVI.
"There is a drunk guy in our drive-thru, it looks like he has an 11 or 12-year-old girl, it's a boy I'm sorry, and he has an open container in the car as well," said the caller to 911 dispatchers.
Employees at this Steak and Shake in Miami Township made that call to 911 dispatchers after they say this man, 38-year-old Michael Valiante, went through their drive-thru overnight and seemed to be intoxicated.
"She can smell alcohol on him and stuff," said the caller.
"I think they did the right thing yes," said Darlene Neff.
Our cameras caught Miami Township officers giving Valiante the field sobriety test.
After, police put him in handcuffs and took him to jail.
He told police he was simply driving around the corner because he and his son were hungry.
"I don't think anyone who's drinking, I don't care how hungry they are, they shouldn't be driving with their kid in the car," said Neff.
Meanwhile, Valiante's 13-year-old son sat in the back seat of his car.
"Obviously raises the stakes even more not just your safety that's put at risk or the drivers but of your child," Christopher Clifford.
Turns out, this isn't the first time Valiante has been arrested for an OVI.
In 2010, he was convicted in Xenia Municipal Court and sentenced to two years probation, 3 days in jail, and a 177 day jail suspension as long as he wasn't convicted of a similar crime in the next six years.
His arrest last night was just 3 years later.
Drivers we spoke to are proud that some concerned employees took action.
"Public safety is something that we should all be concerned about and you shouldn't just simply rely on the next person to do the right thing," said Clifford.
Valiante now sits in the Montgomery County Jail.
He faces several charges including OVI and child endangering.

MindSwarms is a site I found out about yesterday that will pay you $50 per survey, which is a whole lot more than you normally get from most paid survey sites! But Mindswarms, as you might have guessed, does work a little differently. With this site, you're answering the surveys you're accepted into via your webcam. It's actually like a focus group, only you're by yourself in your own environment.
Why do you get paid so much to participate?
My guess is that it's because this is more like a focus group and not exactly a survey. Focus groups do, in general, pay pretty well if you're lucky enough to get picked for one. $50 for participating in a focus group is not outside the norm at all. Also, you're using a webcam to record your answers and putting yourself out there more than you would be if you were just sitting at your computer, clicking radio buttons with "yes" or "no." So what you're doing is worth more money. And getting to actually see your expressions and gestures as you respond is also pretty valuable for researchers who are looking for truly honest answers.
How quickly are payments made?
MindSwarms pays with Paypal within 24 hours after your responses are recorded, submitted, and accepted by the researcher. There are rare occasions when your responses may not get accepted by the researcher, but this is almost always because there was a problem with the sound or audio on your video. Researchers are not supposed to judge you based on your content/answers.
What does signing up involve?
You have to fill out some basic info, get your camera set up, and record a sample video for them (you are not paid for the sample).
Can people outside the US sign up?
You can sign up from anywhere in the world.
How long does each survey take to do?
According to Mindswarms, most surveys do not take more than 20 minutes from start to finish.
How do you get the survey invitations?
They come to you via email and you can also log on to your dashboard at any time to see if you have any surveys that are open. The surveys fill up quickly, so it's a good idea to grab them as soon as you get the invites before they fill up.
Does MindSwarms have screener questions?
Yes, just like with most survey sites, there are screener questions to answer. These are to make sure you're actually a good fit for the survey. According to MindSwarms, there are usually no more than five of these and they will determine whether or not you're actually accepted for a survey. You are not paid for answers to the screener questions.
Update Jan. 13, 2012: Just thought I'd mention that since initially writing this post, I have had one person message me via Twitter to let me know that she was accepted into a study and made her $50 via Mindswarms!
Would you like to sign up and get $50 for each paid survey you answer?
Go here to sign up for MindSwarms.
If you are interested in making extra money online taking paid surveys, you will want to check out my e-book that provides super detailed information on paid surveys, how they work, how they pay, and which panels to use. It is currently available at Amazon. No kindle? No worries! Amazon has a free cloud reader that lets you read ebooks on any device, including your computer.

Apple Crumble Cake Recipe

are super popular here at Catch My Party. They're one of my favorite themes because they're so colorful and bright!
We get so many beautiful, cool, and creative Halloween parties added to our site, I love seeing them show up! I thought I'd highlight my favorite Halloween treats to give you some ideas for your own parties. Enjoy and... yum!!
(Click on the photo to see the party the treat is from.)
Halloween is right around the corner. We've got a ton of free printables for your Halloween parties, but how about dessert and treat ideas?
Hope your Memorial Day is sweet!
This week's party photo comes from Virgina S's Taylor Turns Two - Ni Hao Kai Lan Birthday. One look at the photo and you know why I chose it. What a crazy unbelievable cake!!
Check out all the other photos from this gorgeous party.
Need something yummy for your next dessert table? We're giving away a $25 gift certificate to Superior Nut Store.
Superior Nut Store sells every kind of nut you can think of, but that's not all. They also sell chocolates, dried fruit, candy, and gifts. Take a look...
This is a brilliant cost-saving idea. Let's say you're throwing a party and want one of those beautiful designer cakes but don't want to spend the money, what do you do? Buy a fake cake instead.
The fake cakes are covered in fondant, which is what cake designers use, but underneath it, pure Styrofoam. And the idea is this... At your party, everyone gets to marvel at your beautiful cake, but then when it's time to eat it, it gets taken to the kitchen to be "cut" and instead you serve a much less expensive sheet cake in the same colors in it's place.
I saw this site on chow.com and had to share it. It's called idreamofcake.com and these are the most insane cakes I've ever seen! My favorites are the handbag cakes. Come on, a Birkin bag cake, how can you get any better than that? When I'm rich, I will be having one of those for my birthday... along with the real thing, obv.

I am new to all this, so I wanted to see if I could get some advice. So I have a ISFJ girlfriend, and I have discovered that the way I give critique is not working well. I have the tendency to analyze and break down problems really far and then when I try to relay this information she feels really hurt and uncomfortable.
How would I go about approaching this matter in a better manner? I think my ability to look at the problem piece by piece is highly important and has helped in the past, but I also don't want to make problems worse if we are fighting by detailing unnecessary personal problems.

The pair's out-of-control competitive spirit gets them both kicked out of the University's elite Scare Program.

The Threepenny Opera (Die Dreigroschenoper) was a revolutionary piece of musical theatre adapted from an 18th-century English ballad opera, The Beggar's Opera by John Gay. Written by German dramatist Bertolt Brecht in collaboration with the translator Elisabeth Hauptmann and the composer Kurt Weill in 1928, it was a socialist critique of the capitalist world.
The opera is based on the English poet John Gay's 1728 operatic satire, The Beggar's Opera - set in London's Soho. The central character in both is Macheath, who is an elegant highwayman in Gay's work and a vicious and violent anti-heroic criminal who sees himself as a businessman in the Brecht-Weill version. In homage to the earlier work, the opening number of the First Act , Morgenchoral des Peachum, is set to the music used in Gay's original.
In the Threepenny Opera, Macheath (Mack the Knife) marries Polly Peachum. This displeases her father, Jonathan Peachum, who controls the beggars of London, and he endeavours to have Macheath hanged. This is somewhat complicated by the fact that the chief of police, Tiger Brown, is an old friend of Macheath's. Peachum exerts considerable political influence, and eventually Macheath is arrested and imprisoned, escapes, then imprisoned once more. At the point of execution, in an unrestrained parody of a happy ending, a hard-riding messenger from the Queen (possibly meant to be Victoria, although the play's chronology is deliberately unclear) dramatically arrives at the last minute, and Macheath is pardoned and given a baronetcy. (Another Brecht-Weill work is titled Happy End.)
The Threepenny Opera directly challenges the audience by breaching the "fourth wall" with what Brecht called Verfremdungseffekt, or "alienation technique." For example, slogans are projected on the back wall and the characters sometimes carry picket signs, or stand at times with their backs to the audience. The play challenges conventional notions of property as well as theater. It asks the central rhetorical question, "Who is the bigger criminal: He who robs a bank or he who founds one?"
The Threepenny Opera is actually one of the first instances of the modern musical comedy. The score, by Kurt Weill, was deeply influenced by jazz, and in fact mandates a fifteen-piece jazz combo. The opening song, "Die Moritat von Mackie Messer", was written just before the premiere of The Threepenny Opera in august 1928 because actor Harald Paulsen (Macheath) asked Bertolt Brecht for an introduction to his figure. Otherwise, Paulsen said, he will quit. Angry Brecht wrote the theme, which later became the most popular song of the opera, together with Kurt Weill within hours. It was translated by Marc Blitzstein into English as "Mack the Knife" and became a swing standard, made most famous in a version by Bobby Darin.
The original German version was very popular. It was performed more than 10,000 times and translated into 18 languages. The play was translated into French as L'Opéra de quat'sous ("The Fourpenny Opera"). It has been translated into English several times. The best-known is the translation published by Blitzstein in 1954, but first performed on stage under Leonard Bernstein's direction at Brandeis University in 1952; other translations include Ralph Mannheim and John Willett's 1979 translation, noted Irish playwright and translator Frank McGuinness's in 1992, and Jeremy Sams's for a production at London's Donmar Warehouse in 1994.
There have been at least four film versions. German director Georg Wilhelm Pabst made German- and French-language versions simultaneously (a common practice in the early days of sound films) in 1931. Another version was directed by Wolfgang Staudte in West Germany in 1962 (scenes with Sammy Davis, Jr. were added for the American release). The most recent one was an American version (renamed Mack the Knife) in 1990, directed by Menahem Golan, with Raúl Juliá as Mackie and Roger Daltrey as the Streetsinger.
To date, there have been seven productions on and Off-Broadway.

* In many productions, "Seeräuberjenny" ("Pirate Jenny") is sung by the character of Jenny. In the original, it is sung by Polly during the wedding scene, but is sometimes moved to the Second Act and given to Jenny. In the 1956 off-Broadway production starring Lotte Lenya, Polly sang a version of the "Bilbao Song" from Brecht and Weill's "Happy End" in the first act wedding scene.
� In the Marc Blitztein adaptation, this song was moved to the second act and sung by the character of Lucy.

I originally got this in the travel size to test it and I loved it, so I bought the full size one. I don't know if I got a bad batch, but the full size one is horrible. The travel size had a rich, thick consistency, the full size is watery and has to be shaken up before use and even that isn't guaranteed to make it work as it should. I will not be repurchasing this. It's not worth the $23.

Feels rather rough on the skin, no matter how gentle you are while rubbing. Packaging is awful, as it is a tough to squeeze tube which results not only in difficulty removing product, but likely lots of leftover product. Hard to wash every bead off, they seem to be leftover everywhere afterwards unless removing in the shower or using a washcloth very thoroughly. To top all of this off, my face felt very hot afterwards and was red. It also burned in a few select places. Will not use or purchase this again.

I happened to like this product alot, but I haven't tried too many physical exfoliators except what I could find at the drugstore, which typically weren't enough for me. I intially loved this product because I'd never tried anything like it before and was so happy to find a relatively inexpensive, accesible scrub. Plus my skin desperately needed the exfoliation. I repurchased at least once (maybe twice). However, I have found a microdermabrasion product (Mary Kay of all brands) that I really like, that kind of takes the place of this in my skincare routine (and much better packaging!), so I'm not sure I'll repurchase it or not.
I was using this about 1-2x a week. I did not find it too rough for my skin, but I have pretty hearty skin when it comes to this kind of thing. As I've said this about the other b. right products in my reviews, I actually love the scent of this line and one of the main reasons I've continued to buy the products.
It leaves my skin feel smooth, comfortable, clean and fresh and it feels like my makeup applies better afterwards. I have had no issues with drying or sensitivity to the granules or formula. Although, I always use it in the shower because the little granules are impossible to clean all of them off without a thorough rinse under the shower. I'll find the little beads in my hair, ears, etc and it's kind of annoying--but thats the same with all similar products I've tried.
I had asked for this Refined Polish for Christmas, but oddly my mom said she couldn't find at two stores she checked, so she got me the Foamingly Clean face wash instead, that I like alot too, so I haven't used it in a long time.
But again, the packaging is a big fail like everyone else has talked about, beautiful, but difficult to get the product out.

Bought the travel set of the B-right products and purchased a few full sizes as a birthday treat to myself (this included). It's definitely a lot more gentle than the exfoliater I was using previously (which had hard, jagged beads which felt a lot harsher on the skin).
- Love the packaging
- Perhaps a little on the expensive side, but I only use this twice a week so lasts a long time
- Skin has DRAMATICALLY improved since using B-right products (but don't know if I can attribute that to this product specifically)
- I really like the smell
- Sticky. Usually have to use this before I go into the shower or even in the shower because if I use it at my sink I can't seem to get rid of every bead on my face (no matter how many times I wash)

I don't have sensitive skin, but this was too harsh for me. I have very dry and flakey skin, so I thought that this might work great to get rid of the little skin flakes. After my first use, my skin felt baby soft, but my cheeks burned like crazy when I applied moisturizer and makeup for the next two days.
At first I thought I may have over-exfoIiated, so I waited almost two weeks to try again. On my second try, I used a tiny bit, and did a VERY gentle rub for about 10-15 seconds. Same results, baby soft skin that was bright red, irritated, and burned for two days.
The packaging is terrible for this type of product. It is difficult to get it out of the tube. For this price, I expected much better.

Age: 25-29 Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium Hair: Black Eyes: Brown
This is the first and only high-end face/beauty product I've owned and felt it was worth the splurge.This scrub has smaller than average granules, and is less harsh, and is the only scrub that's made my face noticeably smoother, lighter, and softer. I only use this about once a month, as I have very sensitive skin and it dries out and gets red after over-exfoliation. But it definitely looks better after using it 1x a month, and it's lasted me for about 3 years, which isn't bad. I've decided to get it again when I run out.

Benefit wants to know if you suffer from "dull skin from daily stress". If you do, they want you to check out their Refined Finish Facial Polish, which Benefit claims will "beautifully brighten the complexion, gently exfoliating to purify the skin and help minimize the appearance of pores to reveal skin's radiance. Contains natural clay and seaweed extract rich in minerals, nutrients, and sugars known to purify the skin." I obtained a 8.9g (.3 oz) sample of this scrub in a 3pc samples of Benefit's relatively new B.Right skincare line. The full size of Refined Finish contains 127.5g (4.5 oz) and retails for $23. Benefit products can be bought through the brand's website, at Benefit boutiques and counters, Sephora, Ulta, and their respective websites. This scrub was made in France. Benefit does not test on animals.
Oh man, do I hate the packaging for Benefit's Refined Finish Facial Polish. Well, I like the look of it, but it isn't very user friendly at all. This scrub comes in a light aqua squeeze tube. This tube is quite stiff and very difficult to get product out of. Whats pretty neat about the tube is that its covered in tiny little textured bumps. The front of the tube features the product name and Benefit logo. To get a bit of this scrub out I need to flip the tube upside down and squeeze it quite hard and even then its a fight. Hopefully the full size tube is easier to work with.
The look of this scrub is weird, its white, a little pearly, and kinda looks like vanilla ice cream. Benefit recommends using their Refined Finish Facial Polish once one or twice a week, and rightfully so. This exfoliator is surprisingly harsh, but not irritatingly so. I only use a dab about the size of my finger tip to scrub my entire face. I work Benefit's Facial Polish in for roughly 45 seconds. The granules in this scrub are pretty large, and do not melt as you work them in, so you need to be careful not to over-exfoliate. I find this scrub to be a little difficult to work with, I think the kaolin clay makes it bond to the skin a little. I don't think Benefit's Refined Finish polish does all that much. It softens my skin, but doesn't seem to Benefit my skin otherwise (great joke, I know). Like the rest of Benefit's B.Right Radiant Skincare line, the Refined Finish Facial Polish is heavily scented and quite perfumey. The scent is pleasant, but very strong and so unnecessary. Fragrance is a common skin irritant, and its right in the middle of this product's ingredient list.
Benefit's Refined Finish Facial Polish was a disappointment for me. The packaging, while cute, is very impractical. The scrub has larger than average exfoliating granules that are kinda rough on the skin. I don't even notice any impressive results. And once again, this product contains for too much fragrance. I really don't like anything about Benefit's Refined Finish Facial Polish. I recommend Lush's Ocean Salt over this scrub, because for $2 more, its significantly more effective and slightly less harsh. I urge those with sensitive skin to avoid this product. This is the first of Benefit's B.Right products to let me down, and I definitely wouldn't repurchase it.

Tried this as part of the Benefit Radiant collection, with the foamingly clean face wash. This is a very grainy scrub. I have sensitive, combination skin and this product works very well for me. I use it about 2 times a week, at night, and my skin does look more radiant. The granules are rounded, not jagged, but enough to exfoliate the skin without tearing. My best friend commented that my skin looked great and asked what new vitamin I was taking, but I explained it was this facial polish.
My makeup went on so smoothly, I don't think I could do without this product. The price is a little steep, but a bottle will last quite some time with being used only twice a week. I wouldn't recommend using it more often as it might irritate.

Panasonic Ecology Systems added a motor plant to its Guangdong, China facility, as part of a program to more than double production capacity to 10 million motors by fiscal year 2019 and accelerate the expansion of its IAQ product business globally.
Panasonic Ecology Systems Company (PESES) built the additional motor plant at Panasonic Ecology Systems Guangdong Company (PESESGD), its subsidiary production company in Guangdong, China. An opening ceremony for the new plant was held on March 18, 2013.
PESES is globally expanding its business in indoor air quality (IAQ) products, including ventilation fans and air purifiers. PESESGD, the company's main plant, produces IAQ products for Southeast Asia, the Middle East, North America, and Europe as well as China.
The company's air purifiers have been well appraised by the China Indoor Environment Monitoring Committee, and its ventilation fans have received Energy Star certification in North America.
Panasonic, based in Osaka, continues to view the IAQ business outside Japan as important to growth. Its goal is a 50% increase in overseas IAQ sales--a goal that will be facilitated by the capacity expansion of the new motors plant.
Panasonic said motors are the core component of IAQ appliances and have a major impact on their basic performance, energy efficiency, quality, cost, etc. Other equipment has also been installed at the site to help the facility to help it reach 10 million motor/year capacity by the end of FY 2019 (April 2018-March 2019).
The new, two-story plant has 18,200 square meters of floor space. It will make ac and dc motors when production starts in March 2013.

Cystocele and pelvic floor tone
I am seven weeks postpartum and have a one to two degree cystocele and a small rectocele. I was told to wait six months before considering surgery. I was also told that Kegels will probably not remove the bulge. A midwife delivered my nine pound baby without performing an episiotomy. I believe that this would have prevented the cystocele. What do you think?Question:
Peg Plumbo CNM
Peg Plumbo has been a certified nurse-midwife (CNM) since 1976. She has assisted at over 1,000 births and currently teaches in the... Read more
There are many influences on the pelvic floor, such as maternal age, weight, medical condition, parity, length of the pushing phase of birth, use of forceps, birth weight and genetic predisposition.
The studies vary according to which of these is the more problematic, but non-performance of an episiotomy is generally not sited as causative. In fact, the cutting of the tissue may predispose women to pelvic floor relaxation.
If the anterior vaginal wall is relaxed and causing the typical bulging, then it is prudent to wait to see what improvement time will bring. Kegels, especially with some feedback about how strong the muscle contraction is, can really help. Some women use vaginal cones, or meters or dials that are available through medical offices or physical therapy centers.
Some relaxation is preventable. That is why, when giving birth, it is prudent to push slowly as your body tells you, avoid the unnecessary use of forceps, watch your weight gain and exercise, including some form of pelvic muscle exercise several times each day for your whole life.
You may be surprised how quickly this improves with proper toning. If possible, I would consult a physical therapist who is experienced in childbirth education.
I wish you the best and I hope this resolves.Answer:

I love this product! I have combination, acne prone skin and I can wear this foundation for the entire day without it wearing off or causing breakouts. The finish is just silky enough without being shiny. I wear the warm nude color, and it's perfect for my medium skin. Undertones are very flattering to my skin, which I've found is difficult to find in a makeup. It's a bit on the pricey side, $35-$40 If I remember correctly, but I think it's worth the price tag. I think my only nag on this foundation is the bottle, it's a glass bottle with a screw off top, no pump or anything. Kind of strange and ends up being wasteful because it's hard to dispense exactly the amount that I need. Overall, love and will repurchase.
As a forty-ish, combo skinned gal with larger pores & mild crows feet, I am in LOVE with this foundation! It goes on silky smooth & leaves a beautiful "lit-from-within" glow that I have been looking for for years!! So grateful to have finally found my perfect match!
I have just finished my first bottle of this and am about to purchase a second. I would say this is solidly medium coverage. I was using Urban Decay's Naked Skin foundation before, and while that is an excellent foundation, I wanted to see if there were better options out there for my skin type(dry, fair, some redness issues, occasional acne). This foundation definetly has more coverage than Naked, and it is less matte in finish. It has a very nice silky texture that is easy to blend. I find it to be less likely to dry my skin out and cause flaking than other foundations I have used. I don't have to use a lot to get good coverage either, and I don't usually need to wear concealer with it. I think it provides a good natural looking finish, not too matte, not too luminous. Although the staying power isn't incredible, it does last at least as long as my other foundations, maybe even a bit longer. When I first swatches this at Ulta, I was afraid my shade(the lightest one) would be too peachy toned on my skin. But it is actually a very good match. It only comes in like six shades though, so some people might not find a match. It seems like some reviewers gripe about the packaging. The packaging is a glass bottle, no pump. While I would prefer a pump bottle, it's really not a big deal to me. It's not like it's that hard to pour a blob of foundation out. The glass bottle has not been an issue; it seems like pretty thick glass, so I would think it would be sturdy, although I've never dropped it. If you can find a good shade match, I highly recommend.

First off I really loved the feel and light-medium natural coverage of this foundation. I've been wearing bb cream for the past two years and this was the perfect foundation to help me transition back into wearing liquid foundation. It felt light and didn't crease or cake. However the lightest shade Vanilla Cream was about 2 shades too dark. It took me at least 30 minutes to blend blend blend and it also took my lightest powder to get it to somewhat match my skin tone. It usually only takes me 5-10 minutes to do my face makeup. I'm sad I have to return it maybe someday they will come out with lighter shades. Another thing that sucked but I could've lived with if the color matched is the glass bottle having no pump.
If you have acne prone skin and aren't ghostly pale Id suggest you run out and buy this!!!

My current face is borderline severe acne/hyper pigmentation so I don't use this foundation anymore because I need a full coverage foundation and this foundation only gives you medium coverage at the most. But besides that I really liked this foundation,it felt light on the skin and last around 8 hours on my oily skin. I don't know if it could last longer than that because its rare for me to wear makeup longer than 8 hours. If you need extra coverage you can pair it with the Too Faced amazing face powder and the results were beautiful. If you have good skin or only have few blemishes that can be covered with concealer this will be perfect and give a very natural look.

I recently rediscovered this foundation and I'm so glad I did! The coverage can be light to medium (when built up) but your skin can still breathe so much so that it feels like you are wearing nothing. I have super oily skin and this lasts a decent amount of time before I have to blot any shine that is peaking through. It really is perfect for summer because it looks like second skin and is so fresh and light. Wish it had a pump though

My HG foundation, works perfect for my skin type(normal) and coverage is good for a natural light coverage. If you're prone to redness or dark circles a concealer is needed. Leaves my skin smooth, no dry spots, no oily spots, just even toned. Packaging stinks, no pump and glass bottle will break, I've dropped one already and at $36 it made for a bad day. Bottle makes it difficult for travel bag because of it's odd shape.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This foundation looks good for first 3 hours when I set it with powder. After that face gets shiny. Everything that you have put on top - blush, bronzer, highlighter etc - will look bad after some time, because foundation starts to separate on skin and gather to any fine lines, pores and flakes. So you have to keep an eye on it.
I have used the foundation over 6 months now and lightest shade was almost perfect match. Now it has oxidized - it looks darker and more orangey. I think it's because of the packaging which is bad. Bottle is made of heavy glass which is not good when you'd like to bring it somewhere with you. It looks pretty on your makeup table but that's it. It doesn't have a pump so it's annoying to get the product out. Also every time you open it, air gets in so your foundation expires quicker. Plus you can't see how much you have left and you can't use it all up.
On the good side this foundation looks very natural when you have found the right shade. It doesn't feel heavy and it covers any imperfections very well. It doesn't set quickly at all so you have time to blend. Finish is more on dewy side and you have to powder it, otherwise your face is a bit tacky to touch. It looks the best when applied with buffing brush. Texture is a bit slippery, when you're using your fingers you'll just end up sliding the product around your face.
I'd say if you can deal with touching up during the day and you like glass bottles it is a good medium coverage foundation for normal/combination skin. It's definitely not suitable for really oily skin types because it will just melt. Keep in mind that lightest shade (Vanilla Creme) will oxidize (maybe you can still use the "new" color during summertime).

DIY? No Can Do: More Companies Turn to Software for Help with PPC
There was a time when being a PPC manager necessarily entailed being an Excel ninja as well. Not a fan of spreadsheets? Then step away from the PPC account, my friend!In 2001, however, a tipping point occurred – the majority of companies no longer managed their PPC accounts using Excel. And the trend continues in that direction.
According to SEMPO's recent State of Search report, the number of companies who manage their PPC campaigns DIY-style using free tools like those provided by search engines, Excel, or "a simple database" fell from nearly half (49%) in 2001 to just 38% in 2012. That's a big drop!

What to Do if AdWords Says Your Landing Page Experience Is Below Average

It also negatively affects your Quality Scores, which means you end up paying more for each click.In an effort to be more "transparent," Google now makes an attempt to tell you why your Quality Score for a given keyword is low.
One reason might be the quality of your landing page experience.

When Did Google Give Up on the Long Tail?
Over the past year I've noticed that the Google results for long-tail queries have really started to suck. It often seems like Google just stops paying attention if I type more than three words. Case in point: I just searched "the french exit cilantro" and Google basically completely ignored the last word of my query:Spectacular fail: NOT ONE result on the first page contains the word "cilantro.
" (They're also all from my blog; so much for domain diversity.) I was looking for a specific post on my blog about cilantro, and was trying to save time by Googling directly to it rather than going to my blog first and performing a search there. This used to work! Even on the second page, I didn't start seeing results that included the word "cilantro" until halfway down the page, an... > Read more
25 Fast Facts About Bing Ads
In honor of this week's change in branding from adCenter to Bing Ads, and as a counterpart to 25 Fast Facts About Google AdWords, here are 25 facts and figures about Bing Ads, Microsoft's PPC advertising platform:With a single Bing ad buy, you can reach 162 million unique searchers using Microsoft and Yahoo sites (including Yahoo Search, Bing, and partners), which account for 30% of total search engine share and over 6 billion searches a month.
(comScore Core Search, January 2012)From June 2011 to June 2012, Bing stole 5% of Google's search share. (Experian Hitwise)Bids on Bing tend to be lower, and the competition for keywords is lower.

Say Goodbye to adCenter, Say Hello to Bing Ads. How Different Will It Be?
Those who advertise on Microsoft adCenter might have noticed that Microsoft changed its name to Bing Ads under Yahoo! Bing Network. Yesterday, advertisers received a newsletter from The Bing Support Team with the announcement in name change and no additional explanations. No significant changes have been made and advertisers don't need to take any actions to upgrade to Bing Ads.
The first change many might notice is a new home screen when you log in or sign up to advertise on Microsoft. The new Bing Ads home page resembles the main page of Bing search and welcomes new advertisers with information and tips on how it works, how to expand advertising reach, cost and payment, and success stories.The second and I believe the biggest change Microsoft has made and is the ability to transfe... > Read more
Organic vs. Paid Clicks: These Are Not the Clicks You're Looking For
A while back we published a post called "Think nobody clicks on Google ads? Think again!" This post was based on original research revealing that roughly two-thirds of clicks for search queries with high commercial intent go to sponsored results.Recently, a new, related report has been making the rounds.
This study, carried out by GroupM UK and Nielsen, reports that 94% of total search engine clicks go to organic results, with just 6% of click share left for paid search ads. This seems to contradict our results – one cheeky lad tweeted the link directly to us – but does it?In the strictest sense – just, you know, in terms of facts – the answer is no.
