Oh my gosh let me just tell you how amazing this product is! I am only 16 years old and I have a problem with my tweezer. I used to literally tweeze my brows everyday. Then one day I realized how fake my brows looked since I had to fill them in so much. I recently bought this product and with in 2 nights of using it I already noticed a difference. My lashes were already long to begin with and it made them stronger, and my brows are already growing in where I wanted them to! I'm so happy and can't wait to see the finishing results.

Excellent value for money, I use every evening on both ,y brows and lashes with good results longer, darker lashes and thicker brows. You must use it religiously because once you stop so does its positive effects. When applying to lashes don't apply too near the roots like you would with mascara to avoid sensitivity. Great price as a tube lasts around 2 months, I will continue to purchase.

I bought two tubes. I'm still on my first one & it's been 3 weeks. My lashes are fairly long already so I'm only using it on my eyebrows (where I've over-tweezed MANY times). so far they look the same and seem to be growing out and the normal rate that they usually do. :(
I'll update in 2 months since I know that sometimes products work after a specific threshold amount of time.

I used it for my brows and it set them really nicely although it is preferred to put this stuff at night because of the sticky feeling. It made my brows grow fuller and faster and I'm already buying my second tube. Beware that many people who tried it on their lashes complained it caused them sensitivity reactions. Better to use it on brows only!

I've bought this stuff time and time again. I got mine from Amazon as my area doesn't sell it in stores (at least I've never found it at Walmart, Target, CVS or Walgreens). I bought two of them for about $8 USD (includes shipping costs). Not too bad.
These always work for me. I've had issues with my brows since I was young. I either have giant caterpillar brows or thin ones. I haven't quite been able to reach that nice in between where they're shaped and groomed perfectly. I've been trying a bit more lately and have come close. I know I have spots that need more hair. My brows are even thin in the areas that have hair. This product always helps the hair grow in a bit more in the areas you apply it to (seriously I've gotten it near the crease of my eyelid and had hair started coming in there). I've also used it on my lashes. I always get compliments on my lashes but when I was a kid they were so much fuller and longer. Now they're a bit sparse and shorter. This helps with that too.
I'd be aware of getting this in your eyes. Obviously it doesn't feel to great if you do that. Other than that there isn't burning on the skin. I think it's a great product and completely worth ordering online since I can't find it locally. I really don't do this with any other product.

I've always had medium-long lashes. My bottom lashes are short but my upper lashes were always long. I do not use fake lashes because they are uncomfortable, only one time use, bad for your real lashes, expensive and noticeably fake. I wanted to enhance my own lashes so I tried this. It took 3 weeks in the beginning before I saw results. But after uses I've seen fuller longer looking lashes even my bottom lashes! I've used the bottle on and off for a few months and they actually do work making my lashes softer too. If you have short lashes definitely give this a try. It's cheap and it Works! The only problem I had was the smell. It smells really bad and if you accidentally get it in your eyes it burns like craaaazy. So be careful. You won't be blind or anything you need to just wash it off gently before applying again. I will be purchasing this product again and I am a tough buyer so this product is a 5 star for me.

I've been using this for about 3 weeks, once a day before bedtime, and already I see fuller and longer lashes. This is a white-ish gel that you apply with a nylon mascara brush, and the brush tends to scratch my eyes. I prefer Loreal's smooth plastic brush on their lash growth serum, but heck, this works too. I picked this up at Rite Aid because it was on sale for only $1.04 and I had rewards to burn so it was essentially free. This has no scent and the formula itself does not sting my eyes or irritate them in any way. Also I notice less residue on my lashes compared to Loreal's serum, but it doesn't work as dramatically as that one. Still, this is a good product, especially even at full price it's less than have the cost.

update: 5/29/13__ I've been using this for nearly two months and I want to throw it away. reason: after about 6 weeks, it has developed this weird consistency that looks like dandruff on the brows. even if this product works, it's a huge pain in the bum to apply - and then painstakingly brush out - the many gross flakes.
do I think this stuff works? well, I had used rimmel's lash serum to slightly thicken my sparse brows, but it reached a point where they were not going to get any thicker, and I hated the way it peels after it dries. I wanted to experiment with other products in the hopes I could get them to thicken more. using ardell for 7 weeks, my brows did not thin out, so that indicates to me that this product works ok. I was able to maintain my new fuller brows with it. but they did not thicken any more than the rimmel had made them, and like I said, developed a super gross consistency. so now I'm going to try something else.
regarding the odor that a few reviewers have complained about: mine does not have a bad odor at all, and I have a good sense of smell, not even after having it for 7 weeks. I think that the people who thought this smelled awful may have received an expired product.
Age: 44-55
Skin: Dry, Fair-Medium, Warm

Along with dying my eyelashes with Roux black every few weeks, I have incorperated this gel into my night time beauty care routine. I picked up 2 at rite aid for 8$, so that's cheap. It's a milky clear and I brush on my upper and lower lashes.
The results are pretty good, I have a bit of lengthening, the inside lashes are just about to touch my brows. My lashes also seem seperated better and healthy looking. I wipe some on my brows too. In the morning though I wash and rinse real good becuase I don't want to get any flakes built up from using this.
So I will update in @ month to see if any more progress is gained. I don't use mascara daily because I am afraid to loose lashes, if I do just a few times a week.
Update- Flaky- can't use daily

This stuff worked for me, however, I have to keep on using it for my lashes to stay long. Since using it, my boyfriend and a friend have asked if I'm wearing false lashes, while I only had on mascara (I usu wear Maybelline full n soft or Covergirl Lash Blast, or both, def making my lashes look more like falsies) :) I am Asian, so this product making me look like I have on falsies is a miracle. This stuff is cheap and works well, so I keep repurchasing. Be careful not to get it in your eyes, it does sting. I only use it at night before going to bed, I'm sure it'd work better if I used it more often. I do not use it under mascara b/c for me, it makes my lashes limp and they won't keep a curl with this under mascara. I have also used this on my eyebrows and it doesn't seem to make much of a difference.

review by buckaroo
Due Date 2010
buckaroo's review:
Basically a remake of Planes, Trains and Automobiles only without any of the humor, charm or warmth. The movie, which made laugh exactly twice, follows two more-or-less unlikeable people on a cross country trip. Between mean-spirited attempts at humor, they somehow bond but only because the script tells them they are supposed too. The Hangover is looking more and more like a fluke on the resume of Todd Phillips.

From the HSLDA E-lert Service: |
Date: From: Subject: | 2/22/2013 12:39:40 PM Dee Black--HSLDA Mississippi: Calls Needed to Stop Common Core Standards Bill |
====================================================================== From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ====================================================================== Calls Needed to Stop Common Core Standards Bill Dear HSLDA Members and Friends: Your calls and emails are needed to stop Mississippi Senate Bill 2056, which involves the implementation of Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for college readiness. The CCSS are standards published by the National Governors Association in 2010 for public schools. But Senate Bill 2056 would extend the application of the CCSS to college readiness and thus college admission. State colleges and universities in Mississippi may determine whether to admit a student based on his or her performance in courses whose contents reflect the CCSS. Obviously this would discriminate against the vast majority of homeschool graduates whose secondary curriculum was not based on the CCSS to the extent that they would probably be denied entrance to a Mississippi college or university. Senate Bill 2056 passed the Senate on February 13. It is now in the House Universities and Colleges Committee, which could vote on this bill at any time. Members of the committee need to know that Mississippi homeschoolers do not want this bill to become law. Action Requested 1. Please call and/or email members of the House Universities and Colleges Committee with this message or something similar in your own words: "Please vote against Senate Bill 2056, which would extend the application of Common Core State Standards to college readiness. Students who graduate from a nonpublic school should not have to use a public school curriculum in order to be admitted to college." If your last name begins with A-K, please contact: Nolan Mettetal, Chairman (601) 359-3331 firstname.lastname@example.com Gregory Holloway, Vice-Chairman (601) 359-2435 firstname.lastname@example.com Toby Barker (601) 359-3362 firstname.lastname@example.com Richard Bennett (601) 359-2860 email@example.com Cecil Brown (601) 359-9396 email@example.com Kelvin Buck (601) 359-4083 email@example.com Kimberly Campbell Buck (601) 359-4083 email@example.com Clara Burnett (601) 359-2422 email@example.com Lester Carpenter (601) 359-2425 email@example.com Bob Evans (601) 359-3354 email@example.com Joey Hood (601) 359-3339 firstname.lastname@example.com Mac Huddleston (601) 359-3340 email@example.com Bill Kinkade email@example.com If your last name begins with L-M, please contact: John Thomas "Trey" Lamar, III (601) 359-2431 email@example.com Hank Lott (601) 359-2435 email@example.com Steve Massengill (601) 359-3338 firstname.lastname@example.com Brad Mayo (601) 359-2431 firstname.lastname@example.com Doug McLeod (601) 359-3311 firstname.lastname@example.com Pat Nelson (601) 359-3339 firstname.lastname@example.com Brad A.

Janes, Dominic (2011) Emma Martin and the manhandled womb in early Victorian England. In: Mangham, A. and Depledge, Greta (eds.) The Female Body in Medicine and Literature. Liverpool, UK: Liverpool University Press, pp. 107-118. ISBN 9781846314728.

Emma Martin (née Bullock) was born in 1811 and died in 1851. She was a socialist and freethinker. As a child she was strongly religious and at the age of seventeen joined the Particular Baptists – a Calvanist grouping. She remained a believer for a further twelve years. In 1831 she married the Baptist Isaac Luther Martin and they had three daughters. She was very unhappy in the marriage and started to deliver lectures on the role of women. In 1839 she attended her first Owenite social meeting – she was powerfully ambivalent toward the radical views she heard there and she attacked their anti-religious ideas despite their endorsement of her pro women feelings. At the end of that year Isaac moved the family to London and she left him and became a lecturer for the Owenites at a small stipend. This paper begins by examining a remarkable text, published in 1844, which rejected a phallocentric view of religion. Her tract Baptism: a Pagan Rite is inspired by a tradition of comparative religion which had been developed and popularised by anti-clerical comparisons of Catholicism with pagan worship made around the time of the French Revolution. However, other works in this genre, such as Payne Knight's Priapus (1786) frame their vision of ancient religion around the primacy of phallicism as the central expression of primitive fertility cults and thence as underlying modern Catholic practice. Emma Martin's work, by contrast, reframed the discussion in two important ways. Firstly, she focussed upon her own experience as a former Baptist so as to sustain a sexualised reading of that denomination. Secondly, her reading centred on the baptismal pool as a womb in which the sinner was reborn. Contemporary accounts critical of baptism indicate that the occasion was feared to be an opportunity for sexual impriority. Martin appears to have seen the act of baptism as an often co-erced fertility ritual. Her other pamphlets, of which several survive, are not directly on gendered themes, but are strongly against religion. Her most active period of writing and speaking lasted until 1845 after which she left the movement to become a midwife. She spent her last years lecturing on gynaecology before dying of tuberculosis in 1851. She thus demonstrated the importance of the womb and its order and disorder as a core element in her practice and sense of duty. By thinking with the womb, she was able to place the female generative process – and its abuses at the hands of men – at the centre of her view of the operation of contemporary society. In this she is strikingly different to other writers of the time on comparative religion who either downplayed the womb as compared with the phallus, or who seem to have regarded the womb as somehow abject.

With former FOX 9 anchor Robyne Robinson announcing today that she will be DFLer Matt Entenza's running mate for governor, the race for Minnesota's executive governing position is starting to get interesting. KFAI's Capitol correspondent Marty Owings discusses the latest in Minnesota's gubernatorial race with MinnPost media critic and reporter David Brauer.
As Minnesota's first Catholic woman bishop, Regina Nicolosi is responsible for ordaining other women who are stepping into leadership roles. Despite being excommunicated, Nicolosi explains to KFAI News Director Ahndi Fridell why she and other women have decided to defy the traditional Catholic hierarchy.
In a full hour of 'caucus coverage' on the night of SuperTuesday beginning at 6pm, we feature local political analysts, bloggers, and journalists from around the Twin Cities area in a pre-caucus round
Last night, members of the DFL, Republican, and Independence parties gathered for precinct caucuses across the state. The caucuses are the start of the party endorsement races and have been praised for fostering grassroots political activism and civic involvement.
The Cedar Riverside neighborhood in Minneapolis is home to a large immigrant population and a number of pubs. It is sometimes a volatile combination. West Bank Community Coalition President Ben Marcy spoke to KFAI News Director Ahndi Fridell about the increase in crime this fall.
In the inner city of Minneapolis, residents are taking their safety and wellness of their neighborhood into their own hands. Like many inner city neighborhoods, crime can be a prevailing issue. In Cedar-Riverside, there are weekly community patrols to ease concerns of crime in the neighborhood. KFAI's Jason Patrick tagged along last week to find out more. 3-3-09
Cedar-Riverside is a diverse Minneapolis neighborhood with a burgeoning populous of people from all over the world. But like many inner city neighborhoods, residents are always thinking of ways to prevent crime and promote public safety.
This Sunday marks the annual celebration of the Juneteenth holiday, the oldest nationally celebrated holiday commemorating the freeing of the last slaves in the US at the end of the Civil War. In June 1865, Union troops entered Galveston, Texas, and announced the news of the Emancipation Proclamation to the slaves, two and a half years after President Lincoln first signed the proclamation.

Cisco to License WLAN Technology
Cisco to License WLAN Technology
Carmen Nobel
Posted 2003-02-24
Seeking to boost WLAN adoption, Cisco will give free WLAN software to several semiconductor, computer manufacturers.
Cisco Systems Inc. on Monday announced plans to give away wireless LAN software to several semiconductor and computer manufacturers in order to speed up the adoption of WLANs in corporate environments that use Cisco gear. Through the Cisco Compatible Extensions Program, Cisco will provide free licenses for WLAN technology that includes security, management and roaming features not yet found in IEEE standards but which Cisco has gone ahead and added to its own products. Lately Cisco has been focusing more on the back end than on the client side, so the company wants to make sure that other companies client-side products focus on Cisco. This will enable Cisco to include proprietary technology in its products without having to worry about interoperability with other companies products.
"We want to ensure compatibility with Cisco gear," said Bill Rossi, vice president and general manager of Ciscos Wireless Networking Business Unit in San Jose, Calif. "Our goal is to make sure the client solution works and interoperates with our infrastructure."
The companies licensing the Cisco technology account for about 90 percent of WLAN client reference designs, Cisco officials said. They include Intel Corp., which helped develop the program, Intersil Corp., Atheros Communications Inc., Texas Instruments Inc., Agere Systems Inc., Marvell Technology Group Ltd., and Atmel Corp. They will provide silicon to PC hardware manufacturers such as IBM and Hewlett-Packard Co. An independent testing lab will be conducting interoperability tests to ensure compatibility, and the products that pass muster may receive a Cisco logo. Officials at Cisco said that "CCX" solutions would be backward-compatible with the official standards ratified by the IEEE and the industry default standards approved by the Wi-Fi Alliance, the special interest group formerly known as the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance. The IEEE has ratified several WLAN standards in the past few years but has been slow to adopt security standards, which are key to enterprise adoption. To that end, the Wi-Fi Alliance already has a process similar to the one Cisco announced today. The Wi-Fi Alliance has its own security protocol called Wi-Fi Protected Access. The Alliance performs compatibility tests for a number of features, and products that pass the tests receive a Wi-Fi label. Ciscos security suite includes support for WPA and certain IEEE standards, but also includes authentication and management features found only in its own products, which is why licensees want to support it even if it does not completely adhere to industry standards. "The progress is slow in the IEEE," said Rich Redelfs, CEO of Atheros Communications Inc. in Sunnyvale, Calif. "Its one of the reasons that the Wi-Fi alliance has adopted WPA. The real goal here is [to support] the installed base [of Cisco customers]. Its picking up those people. Its not trying to conflict with the WPA or IEEE. Standards can be slow, and in some instances we want to get things to market without the delays that happen in the IEEE."

Rossland secondary school RSS
Rossland residents who are fighting to save their high school got bad news Monday night.
The Kootenay-Columbia board of education defeated the one proposal that would have kept K-12 education in Rossland. Instead trustees decided by a 6-3 vote that senior students will be bussed to J. Lloyd Crowe secondary school in Trail.
Aerin Guy, one of the parents, told me in an email that the decision spells the end of a celebrated 21st ... Read More …
Residents of a small community in south-central B.C. are preparing to pack the Rossland secondary school gym Tuesday evening for a public meeting about the school's future.
The Kootenay-Columbia board of education has proposed closing RSS and sending students to a school in nearby Trail as part of a facilities reorganization to save money.

Xinhua Village
Last updated by doreen at 2014/11/13
There are three villages, which name are Xinhua Village (its former name is Stone Village), lay at the foot of Phoenix Hill seven kilometers northwest to Heqing Country, while Heqing County is located in the north of Bai Nationality Autonomous Prefecture in Dali.
It has pleasant scenery surrounded by green mountains on all sides. All the families in Xinhua Village are capable of making silverware. Each of their works is elegant in shape and delicate in pattern, representing ingenuity of the handicraftsmen. So it is a 'supermarket' for you to buy silverware.
For example a nine-dragon flagon, the flagon is carved with nine dragons and the plate is also carved with dragons of various vivid manners. It contains precisely eight cups of wine
Except for silverware, marble is a valuable thing for you to buy. Stone Village is the former name of the village. Form its former name we can know that marble is an important product in Xinhua Village. White marble is a fine material, which is carved into pen containers, ashtrays, flower vases, tea sets and ornaments.
At interval of shopping, you can taste delicious edible seaweed flowers which are growing in the water. It is said that they only grow in plateau lakes with high-quality water.

How Jesus Became My Saviour
by James Stephen James' Testimony
I was sitting in church one day as I was listening to a sister who came to the pulpit. She started to say that gang members wanted to join her two sons into their gangs. I had just joined the service and I looked around and noticed everyone wearing suits and ties but as for me I had a bald head and big pants and tattoos across my neck. I stood up and left the congregation because I felt out of place.
I was five blocks away and a sister came running towards me saying, "Omar, Omar, Jesus loves you. Don't leave the path of God."
I turned around, looked at her and said, "What are you doing here? Are you crazy or what? Come on, I'm going to take you back."
As I was taking her back she started to tell me, "I know what its like because of what you look like and where you come from… but don't leave the path of God. Jesus loves you."
She told me that she too also had been on the streets taking drugs and in gangs and in and out of jail. "But don't leave the path of God. Jesus loves you." As I was walking her back to the church she had her baby held in her arms and she said, "I am going to pray for you." As she started to pray I was walking on the side of the street and she on the side walk. I was looking down and listening to her prayer and a few seconds later she suddenly grabbed me as a bus whizzed by. The bus almost ran me over. I tried thanking her but she responded, "It wasn't me. It was Jesus." I tried to hug her and thank her but she said again, "It wasn't me. It was Jesus."
I sat down on the floor and had tears in my eyes and thought to myself, "I should have been smashed or thrown fifty feet in the air. I should be in hell right now." My mind was running fast over what just happened. Later I was reading a passage from the Bible which says, "My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back, remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins… (James 5:19-20). And that's me. The verse applies to me.
Sister Charlene,l'm a testimony: God is faithful just want to share: On the 5th of Feb. 2011 l posted a prayer request to my brother in Christ named BRO CAREY to stand in prayer with me as l was feeling pains on my left breast for almost a week. The man of God prayed and he posted me the prayer he prayed and l replyed back and said: l receive in Jesus name (HEALING). The time was around 10pm when l posted. l fell asleep at 11:55pm mmmmmmmy God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God is AMAZING. THE HOLY SPIRIT VISITED MY BEDROOM. l saw a VISION OF A CROSS SHINNING and FLOTTING BESIDE ME. My God!!!!!!!!!!! My ears were hot and l HEARD A SOFT THUNDERY SOUND IN MY EARS FOLLOWED BY A MALE VOICE WEEPING SOFTLY. THE WEEPING GOT LOUDER AND THE VOICE SPOKE I LOOOOOOOOOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glory to God!!!!!!!!!! and the voice said repeat this: "TEACH ME, TEACH ME" mm GOD THAT WAS AMAAAAAZING!!!!!!!! l woke up saying teach me Lord, teach me. l got my HEALING IN JESUS NAME. HE IS A DOCTOR IN THE SICK ROOM THE GREAT PHYSICIAN. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________

My Experiences with the Holy Spirit
by Shelly C. Hunter
First of all I would like to thank God for choosing me as his child to be able to have the gift of spiritual connections with him. I've had connections with him throughout my life but from 2009/2010 my relationship with God has gotten closer. Now of course throughout all of these experiences and life, I've had some annoying contacts with the devil as well. He knows that I am saved so he tries his hardest to throw traps at me to get me off of the right path. I just continue to ignore him and allow the Lord to guide me through. Lets start off when I was very young. A kid. I would have experiences going back to the annoying devil.
Remember he tried to tempt me at an early age and he would come off as the nicest person in the world so I would fall for it. Now he's upset because he knows that I have been filled with the Holy Ghost and saved. There have been numerous nights that I would be in the state of awoke and sleep. The medical term for this is sleep paralysis, but we know what this is really about. I would see evilness soooo mad at me. The whole room would feel so evil. Like it wanted me so bad but could not get to me. Every time I would see this I would call on Jesus and it would go away. It's the same as a person that is so annoying to you and just stays mad at you for no reason. Its just in the form of a spirit. I know the Lord was there to protect me, but this was getting a bit annoying to me because it started happening too often. It happened often when I was a child but it was not mad at me like this. It was nice to me then. Now its mad. So I prayed and asked the Lord to remove it. I'm too annoyed. I can't sleep. This has got to go. I couldn't stand it. I cried out to Jesus. Get it out of my life. Please. So this is what the Lord told me that I needed to do. He told me to go get a small vial and put some olive oil in it. He said I am going to anoint this oil and give you the gift to be able to use my powers with this oil to remove Satan out of your life. He also told me to go get a bible. Once I got the oil, I got the bible like he told me to and prayed over it with the bible. He let me know that this oil is real, anointed and should be taken care of. He told me to put it in a place alone. Nothing should be in it's way. So I did that. He told me to put oil on all of my walls in my house. He also told me to be sure to put some on my front and back doors. This will exit any demons in the house and prevent those that are outside from coming in. I did as he told me and it worked. Satan left me alone. He could not bother me again. I was able to sleep good again.
Finally I want to share my latest experience with the Holy Ghost. It was this morning. I came back in from dropping my kids off to school to go back to sleep for the morning. I fell into a deep sleep. I had a dream. I cant remember everything about the dream, but I remember I saw my husband, and my mother, and me in it. I also saw and unfamiliar face as well that was in the room with the three of us sitting in a chair. I didn't know who this person was but I believe it was an angel watching over us. As I woke up from the dream I heard a mild audio voice that said "Get ready for your goals." I was lying in bed and all of a sudden this good spiritual feeling came over me. It lifted my hands. I started shouting. All of this was happening to me in the Spirit. Not the body. Yes I was shouting. It felt like a real hand lifting my hands in the air. It put it's hand over my head and it felt like I was being filled from the top of my head to my feet. I felt full once it was done. The Holy Spirit had me. It filled me up and I know from this point on, I am filled with the Holy Ghost. This was the second time this happend so Im assuming that it will probably happen maybe every 3 months or so. Not sure but I love it and, it just makes me feel happy that I am the chosen one. Once you are filled with the Holy Ghost, nothing can and will get in your way. ___________________________________________________________________________________

"Great service and lovely products."
Review by SG, Kent-

"I am extremely satisfied with my purchase and will definitely re-order from Pure Living Collection in the future!"
Review by Daphne Bissell, Wingrave, Bucks.-
Rating I purchased 2 Double size and one Single size Duvet from Pure Living Collection and must say the quality well met my expectations. They have washed beautifully and look most attractive on my beds. As an added bonus, they were all at a special price!
I really cannot speak more highly of this Company! I personally made a silly mistake with my original Order but Pure Living Collection could not have been more helpful. They were very understanding and arranged a refund and an exchange for me. Nothing appeared to be too much trouble to help me and all was dealt with in a very courteous manner! I would definitely recommend any future customers to deal with this Company. (Posted on 01/05/2013)

The InterRegio is a train service seen in some European countries. Mostly they are trains that run "from region to region", as best described by Swiss Federal Railways.
In Belgium, InterRegio (IR) trains are slower than the fast IC trains, and usually call at more stations along a route. Their journey is usually not as long as IC trains, but still travel further than the Local (L) trains (stopping services).
Most IR trains have hourly frequencies, some having only services every two hours (although this is mostly true only for weekend services).
All trains in Belgium share the same cost structure, so taking an IR train costs the same as an IC or L train for the same route. The only difference lies in the number of station stops they call at.
The InterRegio in Switzerland was first introduced in 1997. They replaced some of the former fast trains with their own identity (InterRegio).
InterRegio trains are now very commonplace in Switzerland. The abbreviation is IR in a 45°-edgy font, white letters on red.
The ICN runs as an InterCity train but sometimes with halt frequencies in the same manner as an IR (Geneva/Lausanne-St. Gallen/Basel route) and sometimes as IC trains (Basel-Chiasso). When ICN services first began on May 28, 2000, the ICN was placed as an InterRegio train.
InterRegio trains were also commonplace in Germany from 1988 to 2003. They travelled and mainly connected regions in Germany. Most of the InterRegio lines have been replaced by InterCity lines; a few were been replaced by the newly established Interregio-Express (IRE) type. However, Interregio-Express lines belong technically to the short distance train category, and tend to be shorter. InterRegio trains were very popular as they could be used without supplement - DB scrapped them, hoping customers would trade up to InterCity (IC) or InterCity Express (ICE) trains, a policy that was only partially successful, and then only when the SparPreis brand of tickets were introduced.
The InterRegio system was also introduced to the Danish railways in the early 90's and became an alternative to the InterCity services, with no seat reservation required. However, unlike other countries, InterRegio trains in Denmark only operates on Fridays and Sundays, to support the heavy flow of passengers that travel on those days. These InterRegio services also have fewer stops than the InterCity services, which goes against the original InterRegio concept of long-distance trains with more local stops. There are no specific rules for the composition for these trains, and both old and new material has been used for InterRegio services.
In Poland, interREGIO trains were introduced by Przewozy Regionalne (PR) in spring of 2009, the first IR train connecting Białystok with Warsaw. The fare is similar as TLK-branded fast trains of PKP Intercity.
In the beginning these trains operated mostly on Fridays and Sundays along the routes: Wrocław-Kraków, Kraków-Przemyśl, Poznań-Olsztyn, Poznań-Warsaw and Bydgoszcz-Warsaw. Since June 2009 there are more interREGIO trains on routes; most of them are available through the whole week, some of them only on weekends. More routes were introduced, some of them especially made for students, like Kielce-Częstochowa-Wrocław.
InterREGIO in Poland mostly uses older electric multiple units (usually ED72, EN71 and EN57), with newer units on some routes (ED73 and ED59 between Warsaw and Łódź, 14WE between Kraków and Warsaw). Some IR trains are serviced with single- and/or double-decker cars and locomotives.
As of 1 January 2009[update], all IR trains in Poland are second class-only, even though PR's regulations include a first-class fare for interREGIO trains and in service are first-class coaches, yet declassified.
Szczekociny rail crash
On 3 March 2012, the Szczekociny train collision occurred, with 15 deaths and 50 injured
The InterRégió trains were introduced in Hungary on 13 December 2009. InterRégió trains run mainly on regional lines, but their function is national as well. The trains operate along the lines Sárbogárd–Szekszárd–Baja and Kecskemét–Baja–Dombóvár. InterRégió trains use air-conditioned MÁV 6341 DMU-s which were built by the Russian Metrovagonmash.

COMMENT by ALEX BRUMMER: Obama's record-setting rally is third-best behind Franklin D. Roosevelt
Barack Obama is often regarded as a disappointing president. Yet despite the horrendous unresolved budget problems of the United States, the fierce new regulatory regime imposed on Congress and the visceral hatred often expressed of his health reforms, investors have little to complain about.
In the four years since Obama's first inauguration on January 20, 2009, in the wake of the Lehman Brothers collapse, the Standard & Poor's 500 stock index climbed a handsome 85 per cent.
That is a bigger first-term gain than was achieved by his four immediate predecessors: George W Bush, Bill Clinton, George HW Bush and the late and great Ronald Reagan.
Four more years: Since Obama's first inauguration on January 20, 2009, in the wake of the Lehman Brothers collapse, the Standard & Poor's 500 stock index climbed a handsome 85 per cent
If the narrower but more widely followed Dow Jones industrial average is examined, then Obama's stock market performance, as he embarks on his second term, ranks third-best behind that of Franklin D Roosevelt.
There is a pattern in this. Presidents who take office in the depth of recession, as was the case for FDR, Reagan and Obama, tend to reap the benefits of recovery.
It is easy to forget that the economy Obama inherited was deeply in the mire in the wake of the Lehman collapse and the bail-out of American banks.
In fact it was the Troubled Asset Relief Programme (TARP), that was implemented by the Bush White House in its final days, the Bush tax cuts and arguably Gordon Brown's rescue of global financial systems that brought the US and the world back from the brink.
Among the reasons that equities have done so well is that in a series of nerve-jangling trading days in 2008, when at times it looked as if the capitalist system as we know it was coming apart, prices tumbled by an alarming 57 per cent – wiping out many people's savings in a few short months.
Action taken by the Federal Reserve and other central banks, a combination of low interest rates and quantitative easing, sent bond yields plunging and eventually made equity returns look more attractive.
But there can be no conviction that Obama's second term, even if growth is restored to trend, will be so good for equity investors.
The president faces unprecedented budget constraints. The spending caps signed into law in 2011 (when the US lost its Standard & Poor's AAA credit rating) mean that investment in education, science and transport will be severely restricted.
Discretionary spending is set to shrink from 4.3 per cent of output to just 2.8 per cent.
Further cuts will come in March unless Obama's second-term economic team, headed by new Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, can come to a better accommodation with Republicans.
Despite the grave budgetary problems there are grounds for optimism about the President's second term.
The nation's balance of payments, which has been in heavy deficit in every year since 1976, will begin to narrow as fracking takes off and the US becomes increasingly self-sufficient in gas and oil.
This in itself will create opportunities for reshoring of the manufacturing that fled overseas in search of lower costs.
The corollary of recovery and a falling jobless rate is that some time during Obama's second term the process of normalising interest rates and curbing inflationary expectations will have to begin.
When that happens, all bets will be off for equities.
Blameless banks
One of the great mysteries of our time is how it is that the bankers, responsible for mis-selling at least £13billion of personal protection insurance (PPIs) and possibly £25bn, so easily slough off the blame.
The latest former banker to wash her hands of the affair is Helen Weir, formerly of Lloyds, following hot on the heels of Gordon Pell of Royal Bank of Scotland.
Antony Jenkins of Barclays already has declared his abstinence, despite being in charge of credit cards and retail banking when billions of pounds of policies were sold.
Believe this group and you would think that PPI was a scandal with no culprits. If that was the case, why have shareholders been hit with such a huge compensation bill?
Small hitters
The idea of a 'Business Bank' or, even better, a business investment bank to cater for the needs of entrepreneurship, has long been favoured by this newspaper.
But if the Business Department thinks that it has really put in place a team of 'big hitters' to guide this project it shows how little it knows about commerce in Britain.
Sir Peter Burt, as an experienced banker, will make a fine chairman, and Tory peer Baroness Patience Wheatcroft has vision and experience at the highest levels.
Beyond them, big hitters look in short supply. Where are Sir John Rose, Sir Terry Leahy, David Tyler, Lord John Browne or Dame Marjorie Scardino when the country needs them?

June 4, 2008 Do you 'mommy' your hubby?http://www.jewishjournal.com/blog/item/do_you_mommy_your_hubby_20080604/ |
I came across an article recently called "Do You Mommy Your Husband?" I'd like to think I don't do this – but I know I'd be fooling myself. I pick up after my husband, remind him to not forget his keys or that he should have something besides a salad for dinner. And don't even get me started on how much I wish he hadn't have bought the new Grand Theft Auto. We see images on TV all the time of married couples where the husband leaves his stuff all over and begs his wife to do this or that for him. In the last week I saw examples of this on "According to Jim," "Still Standing," "Reba," "The Golden Girls," "The George Lopez Show" and Everybody Loves Raymond. (Since family sitcoms are practically nonexsistant these days, I had to use reruns). Considering the previous article I found on women spending seven hours a week on average cleaning up after their husbands, this article doesn't surprise me. Although, it does sound better than the reverse article: "Do You Daddy Your Wife." Sound off ladies (and gents), do you mommy your husband? |

None of us like to dwell on the inevitable. But equally, none of us would want to leave our loved ones worrying about what sort of funeral we'd have wanted - and how they were going to pay for it.
Taking out a Funeral Plan together with the Newcastle is one of the best ways to go on taking care of your loved ones, even when you're no longer there. By planning and paying towards your funeral in advance, you can rest assured that your chosen arrangements have been put in place and will be carried out just as you requested.
You can also plan everything just the way you want it - the type of service, the music, the words, the type of flowers or donations and so much more. The added comfort of knowing that you'll have just the funeral you wanted should make things easier for your family at a difficult time. Is there a better way of showing them how much you care?
Along with other prices, funeral costs are continuing to rise each year. This could mean that your savings, investments or insurance policies may not be enough to cover the funeral costs. Furthermore, if your Will is read after the funeral, it may be too late for any specified wishes to be taken care of.
By taking out a Funeral Plan now, you are paying for the funeral services in full or securing the cost at a fixed monthly price. No matter how much funeral costs have increased, when the time comes you will still receive the arrangements covered by your Funeral Plan with no more to pay - another example of how The Co-operative Funeralcare Funeral Plan provides reassurance and real peace of mind.
