Company description:
Manufacturer of specialty makeup and body creams
Founders: Christina
Bartolucci, 39, and Laura DeLuisa, 37
Location: Glendale,
Projected 2004 sales: $5
Behind the Scenes: Cristina Bartolucci and Laura DeLuisa met and found their inspiration in the trenches, doing makeup and hair on movie sets. "An actress would come in [with puffy eyes] in the morning and have to look perfect at 7 a.m.," says Bartolucci. "We would pack [her] eyes with gauze soaked with ice water, which was uncomfortable and messy." To solve the problem, the pair invented their first product, I gels, in 1999. Today, signature products like Lip Venom lip gloss and Revolotion body makeup are popular with fans including Jennifer Aniston and Kelly Ripa.
Loose Lips: "When [we] first started the company, I was doing graphics in a copy store, and this kid came up to me and said, 'DuWop? What a great name. Is it registered?' I said, 'I don't think so,' and he said, 'Let me register it for you,'" says Bartolucci. "In front of me, in the store, he went online and registered, and stole our name. It took us three years and a lawsuit to get it back. So now, no matter how excited I am, I take a deep breath and think 'Is silence the best response here?'"
Rein It In: After distribution of DuWop products exploded thanks to a zealous sales rep, Bartolucci and DeLuisa realized they didn't want to be a mass-market brand. They scaled back distribution and now offer their products in specialty boutiques, such as Henri Bendel and Fred Segal, as well as upscale retailers Nordstrom and Sephora. The pair hopes the new strategy, combined with a full line of products now in development, will take DuWop to more than $10 million in sales in the next three years. -Nichole L. Torres
Company description:
Internet-based adventure travel company specializing in expedition
Founders: Ashton Palmer,
32, and Kristy Royce, 35
Location: Seattle
Projected 2004 sales: $6
No Fear: Driving snowmobiles in Antarctica, working at jungle camps in the Amazon, camping in the Australian Outback-as former expedition leaders on cruise ships, Ashton Palmer and Kristy Royce had done it all. But in 1999, this husband-and-wife team set out on a new adventure: starting their own travel agency. With no previous business experience, the couple, who first met at a youth hostel in Australia, faced the challenge head on. "Our whole lives up until that point had been filled with risk," says Royce. "So for us, this wasn't too risky."
Perfect Niche: Palmer and Royce stand out from other travel companies by specializing in trips on small cruise ships to remote locations where the highlight is the destination, not the amenities onboard.
Teamwork: A $200,000 investment from a family member more than covered the couple's $100,000 startup costs. However, because the money was doled out in increments, they were forced to work nights at restaurants and forgo salaries for the first year and a half. The rough roads have only strengthened the pair. Says Palmer, "Together, we were able to create something that neither one of us could have done individually."
All Work and Some Play: Once or twice a year, Palmer, Royce and their staff of six get out and experience the trips themselves. "It's important to remember how amazing these trips are," says Royce. "You forget after a year or so, so you've got to go out in the field." -Sara Wilson
Company description:
Interactive promotion agency
Founder: Josh Linkner,
Location: Farmington
Hills, Michigan
Projected 2004 sales:
$15.5 million plus
Get Up and Go: From an initially self-funded startup in 1999, ePrize has blossomed into the world's top interactive promotion agency. The company helps bridge the gap between the offline and online worlds by turning anonymous consumers into permission-based customers, with the lure of fun, interactive web promotions.
Dotcom Crash Course: Whenever you come across a company so strongly connected to the internet, you have to ask how they survived the dark days of the dotcom crash. Josh Linkner saw it coming in mid-2000 and began to shift away from serving the venture-backed (and soon to be extinct) dotcoms that made up most of ePrize's client list. "We had to adapt our complete strategy and company to service the large brands that would be around to pay the bills," explains Linkner.
The Campaign Trail: With more than 900 completed advertising campaigns and a client list that reads like a who's who of large U.S. corporations, ePrize is miles beyond its nearest competitor. The company signed on 17 new major brand accounts, including Circuit City and FedEx, in the first quarter of 2004 alone.
All That Jazz: One word you'll hear a lot from Linkner is creativity. His background as a jazz guitarist, pianist and singer has helped him bring an artistic attitude to his business. "Jazz is [about] a very improvisational, creative-type of environment," he says. "I look at what we're doing as a company much the same way. Instead of notes, you're working with people and technology."
The Future's So Bright: A spirit of innovation and evolution is driving ePrize toward its next goal: $30 million in sales by 2007. But it's not all about the bottom line at this company. Top-notch customer service and quality employees are two principal areas that spark ePrize's engine. Says Linkner, "Some day, a company will come along and put us out of business, so it might as well be us." -Amanda C. Kooser

Retrofuturism (adjective retrofuturistic or retrofuture) is a trend in the creative arts showing the influence of depictions of the future produced in an earlier era. Characterized by a blend of old-fashioned "retro" styles with futuristic technology, retrofuturism explores the themes of tension between past and future, and between the alienating and empowering effects of technology. Primarily reflected in artistic creations and modified technologies that realize the imagined artifacts of its parallel reality, retrofuturism has also manifested in the worlds of fashion, architecture, design, music, literature, film, and video games.
The word "retrofuturism" was coined by Lloyd Dunn[1] in 1983,[2] according to fringe art magazine Retrofuturism, which was published between 1988 and 1993.[3]
Retrofuturism took its current shape in the 1970s, a time when technology was rapidly changing. From the advent of the personal computer to the birth of the first test tube baby, this period was characterized by intense and rapid technological change. But many in the general public began to question whether applied science would achieve its earlier promise—that life would inevitably improve through technological progress. In the wake of the Vietnam War, environmental depredations, and the energy crisis, many commentators began to question the benefits of applied science. But they also wondered, sometimes in awe, sometimes in confusion, at the scientific positivism evinced by earlier generations. Retrofuturism "seeped into academic and popular culture in the 1960s and 1970s," inflecting George Lucas' Star Wars and the paintings of pop artist Kenny Scharf alike."[4] Surveying the optimistic futurism of the early twentieth century, the historians Joe Corn and Brian Horrigan remind us that retrofuturism is "a history of an idea, or a system of ideas--an ideology. The future, or course, does not exist except as an act of belief or imagination."[5]
Retrofuturism incorporates two overlapping trends which may be summarized as the future as seen from the past and the past as seen from the future.
The first trend, retrofuturism proper, is directly inspired by the imagined future which existed in the minds of writers, artists, and filmmakers in the pre-1960 period who attempted to predict the future, either in serious projections of existing technology (e.g. in magazines like Science and Invention) or in science fiction novels and stories. Such futuristic visions are refurbished and updated for the present, and offer a nostalgic, counterfactual image of what the future might have been, but is not.
The second trend is the inverse of the first: futuristic retro. It starts with the retro appeal of old styles of art, clothing, mores, and then grafts modern or futuristic technologies onto it, creating a mélange of past, present, and future elements. Steampunk, a term applying both to the retrojection of futuristic technology into an alternative Victorian age, and the application of neo-Victorian styles to modern technology, is a highly successful version of this second trend. In the movie Space Station 76 (2014) mankind has reached the stars, but clothes, technology, furnitures and above all social taboos are purposedly highly reminiscent of the mid-1970's.
In practice, the two trends cannot be sharply distinguished, as they mutually contribute to similar visions. Retrofuturism of the first type is inevitably influenced by the scientific, technological, and social awareness of the present, and modern retrofuturistic creations are never simply copies of their pre-1960 inspirations; rather, they are given a new (often wry or ironic) twist by being seen from a modern perspective.
In the same way, futuristic retro owes much of its flavor to early science fiction (e.g. the works of Jules Verne and H. G. Wells), and in a quest for stylistic authenticity may continue to draw on writers and artists of the desired period.
Both retrofuturistic trends in themselves refer to no specific time. When a time period is supplied for a story, it might be a counterfactual present with unique technology; a fantastic version of the future; or an alternate past in which the imagined (fictitious or projected) inventions of the past were indeed real. Examples include the film Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, set in an imaginary 1939, and The Rocketeer franchise, set in 1938, both of which are also examples of the genre known as dieselpunk.[6]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (September 2011) |
Although retrofuturism, due to the varying time-periods and futuristic visions to which it alludes, does not provide a unified thematic purpose or experience, a common thread is dissatisfaction or discomfort with the present, to which retrofuturism provides a nostalgic contrast.
One such theme is dissatisfaction with modern futurism. In some respects, an extrapolation of the present to the future produces disappointing, or even ghastly results, exemplified in cyberpunk and other dystopian futures characterized by overpopulation, environmental degradation, and transfer of power to unaccountable private entities or governments. Compared to such a future, retrofuturism suggests a world which may be more comfortable or at least more capable of being understood.
A similar theme is dissatisfaction with the modern world itself. A world of high-speed air transport, computers, and space stations is (by any past standard) 'futuristic'; yet the search for alternative and perhaps more promising futures suggests a feeling that the desired or expected future has failed to materialize. Retrofuturism suggests an alternative path, and in addition to pure nostalgia, may act as a reminder of older but now forgotten ideals. This dissatisfaction also manifests as political commentary in Retrofuturistic literature,[7] in which visionary nostalgia is paradoxically linked to a utopian future modelled after conservative values [8] as seen in the example of Fox New's use of Bioshock's aesthetic in a 2014 broadcast.[9][10]
Retrofuturism also implies a reevaluation of technology. Unlike the total rejection of post-medieval technology found in fantasy genres, or the embrace of any and all possible technologies found in some science-fiction, retrofuturism calls for a human-scale, largely comprehensible technology, amenable to tinkering and less opaque than modern black-box technology.
Retrofuturism is not universally optimistic, and when its points of reference touch on gloomy periods like World War II, or the paranoia of the Cold War, it may itself become bleak and dystopian. In such cases, the alternative reality inspires fear, not hope, though it may still be coupled with nostalgia for a world of greater moral as well as mechanical transparency.
Design and arts[edit]
A great deal of attention is drawn to fantastic machines, buildings, cities, and transportation systems. The futuristic design aesthetic of the early 20th century tends to solid colors, streamlined shapes, and mammoth scales. It might be said that 20th century futuristic vision found its ultimate expression in the development of Googie or Populuxe design. As applied to fiction, this brand of retrofuturistic visual style is also referred to as Raygun Gothic, a catchall term for a visual style that incorporates various aspects of the Googie, Streamline Moderne, and Art Deco architectural styles when applied to retrofuturistic science fiction environments.
Although Raygun Gothic is most similar to the Googie or Populuxe style and sometimes synonymous with it, the name is primarily applied to images of science fiction. The style is also still a popular choice for retro sci-fi in film and video games.[11] Raygun Gothic's primary influences include the set designs of Kenneth Strickfaden and Fritz Lang.[citation needed] The term was coined by William Gibson in his story "The Gernsback Continuum": "Cohen introduced us and explained that Dialta [a noted pop-art historian] was the prime mover behind the latest Barris-Watford project, an illustrated history of what she called 'American Streamlined Modern'. Cohen called it 'raygun Gothic'. Their working title was The Airstream Futuropolis: The Tomorrow That Never Was."[12]
Aspects of this form of retrofuturism can also be associated with the late 1970s and early 1980s the neo-Constructivist revival that emerged in art and design circles. Designers like David King in the UK and Paula Scher in the US imitated the cool, futuristic look of the Russian avant-garde in the years following the Russian Revolution. When the German band Kraftwerk issued The Man-Machine (1978), a record whose electronic sound was echoed in the simple geometric shapes and striking red, black and white album cover the design credited to El Lissiztky, they were also tapping into a larger retrofuturist vision. If their machine imagery was lifted from Russian design motifs that were once considered futuristic, they also presented a "compelling, if somewhat chilling, vision of the world in which musical ecstasy is rendered cool, mechanical and precise."[13]
Futuristic clothing is a particular imagined vision of the clothing that might be worn in the distant future, typically found in science fiction and science fiction films of the 1940s onwards, but also in journalism and other popular culture. The garments envisioned have most commonly been either one-piece garments, skin-tight garments, or both, typically ending up looking like either overalls or leotards, often worn together with plastic boots. In many cases, there is an assumption that the clothing of the future will be highly uniform.
The cliché of futuristic clothing has now become part of the idea of retrofuturism. Futuristic fashion plays on these now-hackneyed stereotypes, and recycles them as elements into the creation of real-world clothing fashions.
"We've actually seen this look creeping up on the runway as early as 1995, though it hasn't been widely popular or acceptable street wear even through 2008," said Brooke Kelley, fashion editor and Glamour magazine writer. "For the last 20 years, fashion has reviewed the times of past, decade by decade, and what we are seeing now is a combination of different eras into one complete look. Future fashion is a style beyond anything we've yet dared to wear, and it's going to be a trend setter's paradise." [7]
The Fallout series of video games features countless references to retrofuturism, with its allusions to the 1950s despite being set in a post nuclear war setting. It contains concepts such as the American dream, and its visual style of certain objects such as robots, energy weapons, and destroyed cars carry a strong sense of 1950s thoughts on future technology.
Retrofuturism has appeared in some examples of postmodern architecture. In the example seen at right, the upper portion of the building is not intended to be integrated with the building but rather to appear as a separate object—a huge flying saucer-like space ship only incidentally attached to a conventional building. This appears intended not to evoke an even remotely possible future, but rather a past imagination of that future, or a reembracing of the futuristic vision of Googie architecture.
Los Angeles International Airport and its Theme Building in Los Angeles was built in 1961 as a way to commemorate the optimism of the new jet and space age and also displayed the Googie and Populuxe designs. The Theme Building (now a restaurant) was listed as a City Cultural and Historical Monument by the Los Angeles city council in 1992 and was refurbished by Walt Disney Imagineering in 1997. Current designs for LAX's expansion in 2012 will have the same recurring flying-saucer/spaceship themes in the new terminals and concourses.
Video games[edit]
Retrofuturism has been also applied to video games, such as the following:
- Alien: Isolation
- BioShock (series)
- Crimson Skies
- Fallout series
- Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
- Resistance series
- Team Fortress 2
- Wolfenstein: The New Order
- Wasteland 2

Path, your contacts, and disaster response: Dave Morin takes the high road
Path co-founder Dave Morin takes the high road today, after the news that your complete contact list is being uploaded to their servers. This morning a developer named Arun Thampi released an article titled: Path uploads your entire address book to their servers. Included in the article were a number of screenshots and detailed instructions to replicate his findings. Though there is no time stamp on the article, the first comment was left by Dave Morin, instead of ignoring or running from the issues he chose to immediately respond. First with the comment:
Arun, thanks for pointing this out. We actually think this is an important conversation and take this very seriously. We upload the address book to our servers in order to help the user find and connect to their friends and family on Path quickly and effeciently[sic] as well as to notify them when friends and family join Path. Nothing more.
We believe that this type of friend finding & matching is important to the industry and that it is important that users clearly understand it, so we proactively rolled out an opt-in for this on our Android client a few weeks ago and are rolling out the opt-in for this in 2.0.6 of our iOS Client, pending App Store approval.
Dave Morin
Co-Founder and CEO of Path*Italics – Emphasis mine
A number of questions and comments followed.
From Matt Gemmell:
I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that I appreciate the reply. However, you haven't addressed what I see as the three main issues:
1. Why are you uploading the actual address book data, rather than (say) generating hashes of the user's email addresses locally, then uploading just those hashes? You'd be able to do friend-finding that way, and similarly if you uploaded hashes of all email addresses in the user's address book, you'd be able to do your notifications of when a friend joins. At no point would your servers ever need to see the actual email addresses or phone numbers from our contacts.
2. Why wasn't this an opt-in situation to begin with? Isn't that against Apple's own T&Cs?
3. How can we have our contact information deleted from your servers, if we wish to do that?
I'd very much appreciate a response to each of these three points
Dave Morin
1. This is a good alternative solution which we'll look into. Thanks for the idea.
2. This is currently the industry best practice and the App Store guidelines do not specifically discuss contact information. However, as mentioned, we believe users need further transparency on how this works, so we've been proactively addressing this.
3. As I mentioned in the previous answer, we are rolling out this functionality for 2.0.6. In the meantime, if you would like your data deleted from our servers please contact our service team at email@example.com. We take this same policy for any of your data, if you'd like your account deleted, including all data, we're happy to do this as well. We fundamentally believe that you as a user should always have control over your information and data and you can always email our service team and we will remove anything you'd like from our servers
*Bold emphasis mine.
This is a good step. Path may have made a mistake (I am of the opinion they made a misstep – it is only a mistake if they don't learn from and rectify the issue). This is NOT a new issue. Business Insider erroneously states that Facebook does not do this. That is false. A few months ago it was made public that Facebook does upload your phone contacts to their servers. There are steps users must take to remove this information though finding the instructions to do so is extremely difficult on Facebook. There is no guarantee that these will actually be deleted from their servers.
The quick response to a disaster such as this can make a huge difference. By both acknowledging the issue and offering steps to take to remove the information Dave and Path have proven that they are paying attention and will move to address these issues. While this could have been avoided by any number of decisions, it wasn't. Path had apparently made changes to the Android version released a few weeks back, stating that they collect your address book and then give you the option to opt-in and are in the process of awaiting approval on the App Store.
Revisiting the title – Path, your contacts, and disaster response: Dave Morin takes the high road - or not? Today Path posted this statement on their site, apologizing for the mistakes that they have made and they have made the decision to "Nuke the data"
We believe you should have control when it comes to sharing your personal information. We also believe that actions speak louder than words. So, as a clear signal of our commitment to your privacy, we've deleted the entire collection of user uploaded contact information from our servers. Your trust matters to us and we want you to feel completely in control of your information on Path.
I think this is a good start and hopefully up and coming startups will learn from the missteps of others and choose the most secure and least invasive option in making social connections.

ATLANTA, Nov. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- As the cool temperatures start to settle in for the next few months, Orkin, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rollins Inc. (NYSE: ROL), advises homeowners to pest-proof their homes now, because fall is when most insect and rodent pests seek shelter for the winter months.
"With the recent cool weather, rodents and other pests tend to move inside around this time of year to find a warm place for the winter and breed," said Dr. Tom Zorka, Orkin's Midwest division technical services director. "A pregnant female mouse can produce an average of eight pups in a litter, and a rat, seven pups on average, and there are typically four to five litters per year. Their gestation period is about a month, so one mouse can turn into a major problem very quickly for homeowners."
Mice can fit through an opening smaller than the size of a dime, so it is important to fix any cracks in and under siding, doors and windows. In addition to warmth, rodents enter homes looking for food and water. They prefer cereals and grains, but will eat just about anything. However, rodents aren't just a nuisance—they can also pose health threats.
"With the recent increase in the number of vector borne diseases caused by Hantavirus and Bubonic plague in rural parts of the western states, you need to be proactive in protecting your home this winter against mice and rats," said Zorka. "Rodent activity is higher there this year."
Hantavirus is carried in rodent urine and feces, and people can breathe in the affected particles through the air. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the plague is most often transmitted by fleas. When an infected rodent dies from the plague and the fleas from that can carry the bacteria when they bite people or pets.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

In Response To: Any Type A Women with Endometriosis, Please Help! (Steve (O+))
I just read this threat today and noticed most people posted responses had terrible menstrual pain associated with their endometriosis. I just want other females who are reading this threat regarding to endometriosis to know that please don't think that you are free of endometriosis if you don't have menstrual pain!! There are other symptoms associated with endometriosis besides menstrual pain. I don't suffer from severed menstrual pain personally, and yet I was diagnoised with a stage III endometriosis several month ago when I was under an ovarian cyst surgery removal procedure.

Dancehall's Bounty Killer Mashes it Up with Indie Rock's Program The Dead on Remix Published October 25, 2005 Cross-cultural cut drops on two CD releases; live performance debut coming soon
Shortly after Bounty Killer performed for over 50,000 people at a Jamaican reggae festival, he popped into a studio to mashup an original dancehall riff using rock misfits' Program The Dead's cut "Maybe It's All True," culled from their Low Altitude Records eponymous debut CD. The remix is produced by Daseca, who also co-wrote and produced the current Billboard Hot 100 #13 hit by Sean Paul, "We Be Burnin'." While the track was completed too late for inclusion on Program the Dead's own album, 1000 White Label copies were distributed to DJs and radio stations worldwide, including those in Japan, Western Europe, Jamaica and Africa. In addition, the remix will be available on the Program the Dead website for people to hear it there.
The mashup did end up on another new CD—a just-released mixtape from Bounty Killer's own DJ, Selector RonDon, called VOCAL/SINGING REGGAE VOL. # 17, where the Killer and Program the Dead track is among reggae superstar mixes from Anthony B, Damian Marley and Morgan Heritage.
"Jamaica's national motto is 'Out of Many One People,' so mixing cultures and ideas is something I thrive on as a Jamaican," explains Bounty Killer. "Program The Dead are a very talented group that are destined for big tings for sure. Their tracks are very melodic and well constructed and we could even spot the Jamaican influence on a couple of their tracks which certainly helped me feel the collabo more. The lead singer's vocal (Matt Koruba) has a very different texture and delivery from mine; the contrast works so well on the song we've done."
According to Killer, working with Program the Dead and fusing the two different musical styles was "a great pleasure," one he felt was an extension of his previous recording experience with the band No Doubt. Next on the agenda for both Bounty Killer and Program The Dead: thrashing out the collaboration on stage.
"It would be nice to perform with them in the US as well as in Jamaica," says Killer.

BANGALORE: BSR Congress chief and former minister B Sriramulu begun a 1300 km road show -- his second in less than two months from Karwar on Sunday.
But what caught everyone's attention is Sriramulu's Rs 5 crore hi-tech caravan in which he set his journey. The caravan was customized by Dilip Chhabria in Pune who is said to have designed similar ones for jailed MP Jaganmohan Reddy and also for actor Salman Khan is complete with a conference room, kitchenette and a bedroom. It is bullet proof vehicle, can seat 12 people with fire proof tyres and one portion of the bus can be converted into a dais for holding public meetings.
The bus has been given facelift with a new paint that portray the colours and symbol of the BSR Congress. In 2007, Sriramulu's associate and jailed mining baron G Janardhan Reddy had purchased the bus to undertake a statewide campaign on his allegations of a Rs 150-crore bribery charge against former CM H D Kumarswamy. But later he shelved it as she could not gather enough evidence to substantiate his charges. The bus designed by a Pune based company had been lying idle since then. On Sunday, Sriramulu started the road show after performing a puja at the Kanaka Durgamma temple in Karwar. Sriramulu will culminate his yatra which is to demand equal facilities for all at Ramanagaram on August 5.

Responding to the current economic and financial crisis, which severely affects global trade, is an unprecedented challenge for policymakers of the Asia-Pacific region. The severity and speed of the downturn was largely unpredicted and has triggered widespread populist pressure on governments to protect national markets and jobs through protectionist measures.
This publication comprises three papers commissioned by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP). It provides a gender analysis of commercial sexual exploitation and sexual abuse of children and youth and the Pacific islands societal context of these issues, as well as addresses traditional practices and child rights.
Asia-Pacific economies have been hit once again by a financial crisis. On 15 September 2008, the American investment bank Lehman Brothers collapsed, triggering an extraordinary downward spiral in confidence and financial turmoil. It was also the day when the crisis truly hit Asia-Pacific shores, spreading beyond its equity markets and posing the greatest threat to the region's development since the Asian financial crisis of 1997.
The Asia-Pacific Development Journal (APDJ) is published twice a year by the Macroeconomic Policy and Development Division of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP).
The primary objective of the APDJ is to provide a platform for the exchange of knowledge, experience, ideas, information and data on all aspects of economic and social development issues and concerns facing the region and to stimulate policy debate and assist in the formulation of policy.
This document reviews progress made in the Asian and Pacific region in line with international commitments, with particular attention to the Universal Access targets developed for low and concentrated epidemic countries in Asia and the Pacific through regional and civil society consultations in 2006. Based on these findings, the paper also reviews the main challenges and identifies ways forward in scaling up the response to HIV.
The Directory of trade and investment-related organizations of developing countries and areas in Asia and the Pacific provides information on over 300 trade and investment promotion organizations that are crucial to trade and investment development in the region. Organizations are listed in alphabetical order and by country.
This paper reports on the geographic extension of the Human Development Index from 177 (a several-year plateau in the United Nations Development Programme's HDI) to over 230 economies, including all members and associate members of ESCAP. This increase in geographic coverage makes the HDI more useful for assessing the situations of all economies – including small economies traditionally omitted by UNDP's Human Development Reports.
Poverty and ill-health have a cause-effect relationship in that the poor are often denied access to appropriate health care, thus increasing chances of ill-health. This in turns limits their ability to engage in productive activities. With a large number of people lacking access to basic health care in the Asian and Pacific region, greater efforts are needed to achieve universal coverage.
Public-private partnerships (PPPs) are often advocated as an effective mechanism for delivering water and sanitation services. At the same time it is argued that in developing countries the private sector lacks the incentives to extend services to the poor and that PPPs may only be able to improve services for the better-off. This paper briefly analyses the difficulties of reaching the poor through PPPs and tries to define a model of PPPs that are specifically designed to serve the poor.

I don't know. Anyone know when the route was last climbed? |
By Jeremy Aslaksen From: Albuquerque, NM Apr 4, 2012 rating: 5.9 5c 17 VI 17 HVS 5a A3-4 R |
Just did this route with my buddy Paul. All belays are good and the best way down it to rap Sundevil. I will work on an updated rack when I get the chance. Lots of trenched heads on this route just like it's neighbor Intifada. I was able to bypass a ton of trenches as well as a couple drilled hooks with Peckers and those little Pika beaks. Placed about 6-7 heads on the whole route. Killer line on great rock...really no mud at all. |

awesome! nice tr. |
By Jeremy Aslaksen From: Albuquerque, NM Apr 17, 2012 rating: 5.9 5c 17 VI 17 HVS 5a A3-4 R |
Some more info: Pitch 1 is almost 190 feet long Pitch 3 - I was able to skip both drilled hooks using #1 Peckers and those small Pika beaks (though the tips broke off of 3 when they were cleaned). I also skipped about 4 trenched heads with small kinda sketch Peckers. I think I places 4 heads on this pitch. Pitch 5 - There is a ton of rope drag on this pitch...bring a bunch of long slings. Once you get the the anchor, step up, clip that bolt and work straight left into the Sundevil for about 15 feet till the bivy ledge (Sundevil). Most, if not all of the bolts on this route are pretty good. I think we cleaned most of the fixed mank (anchors, heads, tat). Rap Sundevil as it's way easier and has good pulls. There you go.

Terms referring to extrusion encapsulation have been used interchangeably for similar but distinct processes. These terminologies include: extrusion, extrusion encapsulation, melt-extrusion, hot-melt extrusion, polymer-melt extrusion, glass encapsulation, melt encapsulation, melt-injection and Durarome process. The major distinction lies in the use of either a twin-screw extruder (melt extrusion and extrusion encapsulation) or the hard candy syrup-boil process followed by injection and cooling of the syrup flavor into a solvent bath (melt injection and Durarome process). A profile comparison of the two systems is found in T-2.
Other topics discussed: Early Commercial Systems: Melt Encapsulation; Melt Extrusion (Extrusion Encapsulation); Melt Extrusion and Pressure Cooling; Commercial Product Lines; Melt Injection (Durarome Process); Melt Injection—Static Pressure Cool: Pop Rocks; Summary: Extrusion Encapsulation

I am so disorganized. And I keep losing things. I have had three bank cards this year. They get lost, I call up and report it, then I get a new one. But it's a hassel because in between I have no card, can't go to any ATM for money, must pay cash in stores, and then when the new card comes the numbers are different (of course) and I have to re-activate it. My bank will probably start charging me a fee if I keep losing their cards! Well, today I misplaced my car key. I keep it on a separate keyring. I know I had it this morning because I drove the kids to school but now I just can't find it. Yes I have a spare but it's not as handy. The keychain has buttons that unlock the doors and pop open the trunk. I have searched and searched but I can't find it. Yikes ! Does this happen to you? How do you stop from losing things you need everyday? |
Follow-Up Postings:
The best way to keep track of things is to put them in a specific place, the same exact place, all the time. Bank cards should be in a special place in your wallet or purse and don't put the wallet into the purse till the card is in there, just hold onto the wallet till you get the card back in your hand and replace it in the wallet. Keys should be hung on a hook near the door as soon as you enter the house, etc. After a while, you get used to where important things belong and they will be there. |
Amen to that. Cards always back in the same place in the wallet. Keys ALWAYS in the same place in my kitchen near the door. Key racks are the best, a basket is second best. My mother taught me the latter. She will hang ANYONE'S keys on her key rack. If someone says "where are my keys?" they need only to look there. Don't leave your keys on the counter over there...LOL And a good motivator beyond the obvious for losing keys that have a remote door lock on them is that they cost about 75 bucks to replace. But in desperation, I seem to recall that they do make a clapper/buzzer sort of device for key chains. I don't know who makes them or sells them, but I've seen them in passing, surfing on the net. Btw, I'm not historically perfect with the card thing. But I had to work hard to break the habit of shoving a card in coat or pant's pocket, or down the side of my purse. The hassle of trying to find something got me to be more disciplined about the whole thing. I not only make sure that it's in my wallet, it's in the SAME slot each time. |
Yep, I agree with the other posters - the best way to stop losing things is to have a home for them, and to make sure to KEEP them in their homes when not in use. I'm still working on this!!! Sheryl |
Thanks everyone for your suggestions/ I guess I need to start a new habit. After two hours running around the house looking for the keys, I looked in my pocket for the third time. Under my gloves,there it was! But the agony of looking for them was so awful, I had to lie down and rest. I decided then and there this will never happen to me again. Cards will always go back in the slot in my wallet and keys will be hung on a designated hook in the kitchen. |

next time you start to set something down for "just a minute" or stick your card in your pocket instead of the wallet, say to yourself (actually, you can sing it, I think--I do, but I can't remember whose song it is I'm singing--a woman's voice) "If not now, than when?" You'll have to put the card in your wallet eventually--why are you putting it off? It's not going to be any easier any OTHER time. And if you put it in the right place, you'll spend less time overall, bcs you won't hunt for it. So do it now. Instead of delegating it to "future Jannie," LOL! This is actually why I got grumpy about the idea that i should hurry up and get out of people's way at the check-out. I put my card away in my wallet, and my wallet in my purse. The heck w/ the rest of you antsy people behind me! Another thing I do--when I'm searching for something in a pocket or backpack, I empty the ENTIRE thing, and go through it piece by piece. If figure, if I'm going to search, I'm going to search. Open every envelope, remove every items, etc. Bcs I too have missed my keys among the pens, or inside the gloves. And could this be a wake-up call, that you should put those car keys on the chain w/ the other stuff? I have found that I do best with one keychain. it has everything. Of course, if I lost it, I'd lose everything. But I find that, since it's so important, and since it's only ONE, I don't lose it. (I do have 3+1 places my keys can be--in my coat pocket, in a little dish on my dresser, or on the DR table. The "+1" is in my purse, which happens seldom. But if it's not in the first three, I go to the auxiliary place. I had to put that dish on my dresser, bcs DH gets anxious when my keys are on the DR table, so I had to give him a place to put them, or he'd chase me all over the house trying to hand me my keys when my hands were full of OTHER stuff. And, I considered them "where they belong" when they're on the DR table. So, now he can assuage his anxiety by putting them in that dish, and I can find them if he moves them. It actually works OK--sometimes a little bit of searching, but not that much. I have lost my magnetic sunglasses that go w/ my eyeglasses. I was always, always careful to put them in the eyeglass case in the pocket in front of my purse. Then one day, I didn't. I don't know what I *did*, but they're not there. The first time I didn't do it right, and bingo! Lord knows how much they cost. And they're gone, and I cannot find them anywhere I have looked. Good luck! |

Talley Sue, I thought about our discussion of the people behind me in a line too. This is exactly why I take the time to put the card away before I move: it has to always be in the same place, and it's one of the few habits I've been really good about. I also try to remember to lock my car door with the key (that way I know I have it); and I make sure my exterior house door locks can only be locked from outside with a key so I can't lock myself out. As to indoor keys, I used to have Jannie's problem, so I established a home right inside the door for them. I do think it's important that it be convenient and logical (for the user, not necessarily for anyone else!)- that way it's more likely to be used. |
Now if I could only stop doing that with my GLASSES! LOL That's the only thing that I do the 'where is it dance' over. I find myself whipping them off of my face, anywhere and just setting them down. Part of what will fix this is getting a new prescription (one of the reasons why I take them off). But I need to get into key mode with those things. Nothing like being late only because I couldn't find the darn things, and since I need them to drive, I'm stuck until I find them. |

I can definitely relate. Rarely are mine such important things as keys or credit cards, but things like scissors, tape, etc. I have actually come up with storage places for all of these, but the kids take them all over the place and I too am bad about leaving them where I was working on whatever project. I guess this, as with most things is simply a matter of discipline. If I faithfully put things back EVERY time I use them, they would always be there when I need them! Brenda |
- Posted by Talley_Sue_NYC (My Page) on Tue, Dec 13, 05 at 15:55
smom, try sticking the ear piece into your necklike, instead of setting them down. Then they'll always be with you. Brenda, I have exactly the same problem as you w/ the tape & scissors! the kids take them all over the place and I too am bad about leaving them I even got the kids their OWN scissors and their OWN tape. But they do out of their room, and into the living room, to get the big dispenser. That said, every time lately I've wanted the scissors and cldn't find them, it was me. |
- Posted by Julie_MI_Z5 (My Page) on Tue, Dec 13, 05 at 17:31
I hardly ever lose things, but I keep everything in a specific place. P.S. Although it may look like I'm just randomly shoving my credit card in my purse to hurry out of the checkout line, I'm shoving it in the SAME place everytime. It might not be the "right" place when I'm done, but while I'm shopping it's the same place. |
My biggest problem is putting something in an awkward place such as an important piece of paper in a kitchen cabinet. It's only when I move it (even though the new location makes so much more sense) that I will never find it again. |
I'm working very hard on having a home for everything. In fact, that was my mission over the summer and I did pretty well...until September when I returned to teaching. But I *will* get back to it soon. Putting things away really is a habit, and like all habits it takes awhile before it becomes "automatic". We have key hooks in the laundry room just as we enter the house. I hang my keys on the hook before I do anything else. My frustration is that DH does NOT do this. I keep telling him what if there is an emergency and I need those keys? Well, this really happened to us. DH had a heart attack in May and they transported him to the hospital via ambulance and I was to follow behind in our car. Well, I could NOT find the car keys. Somehow I realized to check in the car, and sure enough the keys were still in the ignition. (DH started having warning signs as he was getting out of the car, so he was disoriented and had left the keys in there.) Anyways, this was always my fear, that I wouldn't be able to find my keys during an emergency, and it almost happened! (We do have a spare, but I have this thing about wanting my entire key ring.) Unfortunately, DH didn't learn from that experience and still sets his keys anywhere he pleases. It drives me absolutely crazy. Sheryl |
- Posted by Julie_MI_Z5 (My Page) on Wed, Dec 14, 05 at 5:47
Sheryl, My husband and I have duplicate keys to everything (except mine also includes keys to my office) and our own key rings. We never use each other's keys and never have a problem. If your husband is borrowing YOUR keys because he can't find his own, you need to do something to stop him. Maybe get a "girlie" key ring with something big and pink and fuzzy hanging from it? Men hate big pink fuzzy things. LOL |
- Posted by Talley_Sue_NYC (My Page) on Wed, Dec 14, 05 at 10:49
to hurry out of the checkout line this is just wrong, wrong, wrong. Don't dawdle, true--but don't hurry. This from a NYer, for whom lines are EVERY day, every place. I think this is going to be my new crusade--to get all those impatient people to just chill a minute while the rest of the world lives their life. (the thing is, when you gripe about people taking too long, the folks who are the work offenders ignore you. The ones who only occasionally get distracted, or who are just ordinary, end up feeling that they're not entitled to an orderly measured life) |
Jannie - I can relate to you and I am working on the same problem. I am always putting my cards, keys or cash in my pocket or leaving in the car or in a purse. Then I use another purse. Everything gets to be such a mess. I have several purses, each one full of junk and cannot find anything. I have seen myself grab a grocery bag and take what I need for the day to work when I have several purses at home. I also have stashed junk from my purses in grocery bags to sort out later. A few months ago I lost my airmiles card. I never found it and lost several airmiles because I didnt have my card when I was shopping. So last month my husband gave me his card. Within a week I lost it and also my visa card. I found both of them in different places. So I had to take control of this problem. (1) I bought a new wallet with lots of places for cards. (2) I bought a new purse - it has a deep outside pocket where I put my keys and cigarettes and lighter. It has another outside zippered pocket where I keep my daily calendar. Then inside it has three divisions - one for my wallet, phone, etc. One for papers. One for my lipstick, brush, etc. Then the whole thing closes with a zipper. It sounds large but not really. (3) I still sometimes slip cards, cash or receipts in a pocket if I dont take my purse when I go out but every time I come home I empty all my pockets in a basket by the door. Then everything goes into my purse or wallet in the proper place. (4) I also took each of those grocery bags (six I think) and each evening for six nights I emptied one and put the things away in their proper place (most in the trash). (5) I have been doing this now every day for about three weeks and I think I am developing a habit, at least in this regard. Just start small and try to keep it simple. |
LOL, Julie! That might work! He only uses my key chain when he drives my car - we should just put the spare on his key chain, I suppose. Sheryl |
I keep my keys on the strap of my purse. I keep my phone in my purse and phone myself when I misplace my purse lol. So I seldom misplace my keys. I also always stop and put my money and cards back in my purse in their designated spots. I can't stand to search for things so I take the time to put them away where they belong, so I don't waste time later. Those weren't easily won habits. Whenever I misplaced something and didn't find it I remembered for a loooonnnng time afterwards and it irks me even today. I don't lose things well, especially money. I still wonder what happened to that $10 fifteen years ago. Yeona |
- Posted by Talley_Sue_NYC (My Page) on Thu, Dec 15, 05 at 10:06
we should just put the spare on his key chain, I suppose. Put *A* spare on his keychain--everyone in the family needs their own copy of the key to every vehicle, and the spare should stay in the house somewhere. I can only have one purse--then, there's no changing purses, etc. Re: Mirren's getting that wallet: It's not accident that FIRST PARAT of that famous phrase is "a place for everything." |
Personally, I don't like regular wallets with flaps that you have to open to get to the section you want. I tried it and found myself not using it and stuffing my purse again. Now I use a very small credit card holder that is clear on one side so I can show my ID without taking it out. The credit cards, medical cards, etc. are put behind it. The other side also has room for more cards. There is also a zippered section in the middle where I can put my money but I find it's easier for me to use an outside purse pocket for cash. |

I have a completely ridiculous problem: sometimes I establish homes for things and then forget where they are. FOr the last 2 months, I could remember taking all the tape, glue and other sticky stuff and putting it all together in a box or basket. Only I was not able to find the container. I (wrongly) assumed that the woman who cleans my house had put it somewhere. The culprit, as usual, was me. I found it in the course of some random activity. Now I have given it a new home but - how on earth do you remember? I don't use tape all that often but of course when I do, I need it NOW! THis is what leads to going out and buying more, and more, of things I already have (you should see how much packing tape there is in there!). Grrrrr. |
I keep ALL my "office" supplies in a plastic drawer system in a cupboard. I keep duplicates of items that I use fairly often, such as tape, stapler, scissors, etc. in a kitchen drawer for easy access. But this took place only after a major organizing binge that I went on this year. The reason for the duplicates is that I found multiples of many items during the reorganizing, such as 23 pairs of scissors. So far the system is working out very well for me. |
Elisabeth, the "home" has to make sense in context to what the item is and where it is used. Keeping things close makes it a breeze to put them away. We have a multiple drawer thing next to the fridge in the kitchen. We use the kitchen table for most tasks, so having all of the office type supplies right there makes sense. I tend to spend most of my time in the kitchen/dining area of my home, so that's where most things are located. Gloria |

Also, don't forget the value of labeling. Sometimes that label will be the thing that helps you remember where something should go BACK. Or keep you from filling up the scissors' spot with something else. |

It's me, Jannie, the OP checking back to tell you of my progress. I have NOT lost or misplaced my bank card or keys in a couple of years. I can't remember my last "mad dash" for something lost. I keep my bank card in one spot in my purse/wallet and take the extra few moments to return it there every time I pull it out. And my keys get hung on a hook near the door. They "live" there every second I'm not actually driving around. I never leave them in a pocket or purse or on the table for a minute. Keeping them hung up has become an indelible habit for me. And in case they ever do get lost, I do have a spare set put away in a drawer. I went thru the embarassment of spending around $250 at a car dealer getting two extra sets made. (That was after my daughter borrowed the car and lost the only key.) That's great motivation to be organized about this. |

Jannie I can so relate to this. I used to spend ages every day looking for keys it was so stressful but putting up a key holder with hooks in the kitchen and training myself to put the keys there was such a simple thing but it made such a huge difference in my stress levels :) It's amazing how doing these simple things can make such a big change. |

Jannie, thanks for posting and giving me hope! I've used up my lifetime replacements on bank cards (I now have to pay for them), and my husband is sick of my never-ending search for my keys and phone (everything else, too...sunglasses, water bottle, tv remote...but the important things bug him the most). Habits definitely help, and I am getting better...but there's much progress to be made! I found this cool gadget on an ADD site called Find One Find All based on the idea that people won't lose everything all at once, and my parents gave it to me for Christmas. Now I just need to take time to actually attach it to my keys and phone... |

Well, I've lost so many I've lost count.I once "found" pairs in my knitting bag , outside by the mailbox and tangled in a tomato plant. All three got lost again. Then I bought a pair of real cute readers with a case for $20 at my local CVS pharmacy. I keep the case and glasses in my purse and so far I haven't lost this pair. |
