Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Chile Named Hottest Pepper
7 comments | Leave Comment
There is a new winner of the hottest chile on the market title. It is the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion. Even its name makes you shake! The experts at New Mexico State University's Chile Pepper Institute have classified the Scorpion as the hottest pepper.
Heat from chile peppers are measured in Scoville heat units. A regular jalapeno pepper rates between 2,500 and 8,000 on the Scoville scale, whilst a Habanero is between 100,000 to 350,000 SHU. This Trinidad Moruga Scorpion pepper rates more than 1.2 million on the Scoville heat scale – and some of these peppers can reach higher, over 2 million!
The Chile Pepper Institute was charged with scientifically establishing which pepper is the hottest by manufacturers of hot sauce and spicy foods. It is very difficult to definitively say which pepper is hottest as each individual pepper has a different heat level that its plant mate.
The researchers planted 125 plants of a variety of the hottest peppers – the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, the Trinidad Scorpion, the 7-pot, the chocolate 7-pot and the Bhut Jolokia. Mature fruits from each plant were randomly selected , harvested, dried and were ground up into powder. Each pepper has a compound that produces heat called a capsaicinoid. These compounds were extracted and the levels tested.
The researchers did not actually taste the peppers – they are leaving that to the daredevils who are willing to set their mouths and taste buds aflame. But they did say that during the picking of the peppers the capsaicinoids burned right through the latex gloves they were using – something that had never happened to them before during their hot pepper research.
Are you a hot pepper eater? What is the hottest pepper you have ever tasted? Would you be willing to taste this Trinidad Moruga Pepper?

The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion pepper is one of my favorite super hots. Love them so much, the business end of our homestead gardens started focusing on the super hot peppers. Today, we grow them in our organic gardens and mail them across the United States.
The fun is in cooking with them. The trick to bringing out their flavor from under all that heat is to cut out the seed / pith area and then flush with cold water. Do this to get out a lot of the heat and you can really taste the hidden flavors of this and other super hot peppers.

Warwick's Feedback on 8-Day China Tour
|Client: Warwick
|Age: Unknown
|Tour Date: November 2, 2013 - November 9, 2013
|FeedBack Date:November 12, 2013
|Itinerary: 8 Days Beijing, Shanghai Tour
Good morning Doris,
Our trip to China was a very memorable one.
The Bejing part of our trip was especially enjoyable due in large part to the excellent service provided by our guide Icychen. She is knowledgeable, polite and courteous. She was willing to extend herself when we had any special needs. Her pleasing personality endeared her to the rest of my family as well. My wife and two daughters loved her. We highly commend her.
Mr. Lee our driver complemented Icy. They worked very well together. We felt safe with his driving.
May I offer an important point of consideration when booking first class tickets on the Bullet Train. Rows 5, 8, and 10 in Carriage 2 are adjacent to blank panels with only an obstructed view through remote windows. Our 4 seats were in Row 8.
Kind regards,
Warwick J

Explore the Entrepreneurship.org Resource Center to find resources. Designed with entrepreneurs in mind, our resource center allows you to find materials to grow great ideas.
If you are familiar with this blog, you know we often discuss the progress or obstacles in various entrepreneurship ecosystems. We have also discussed the paucity of data around the world to best inform decision makers keen to smooth the path for their aspiring entrepreneurs. Current thinking suggests that startup communities need to be led by entrepreneurs and today we take note of a new global survey of entrepreneurs. Released earlier this month, the Global Entrepreneurship Week Policy Survey, which was designed to shed light on key questions for policy discussions on high-growth entrepreneurship from the perspective of entrepreneurs themselves.
Following a quiet week on Capitol Hill due to the Thanksgiving holiday, talks on the fiscal cliff are scheduled to resume this week as lawmakers return to Washington. In addition, there are a number of hearings scheduled on the House side that touch on issues of interest to hard-core followers of the entrepreneurial economy including: music licensing and intellectual property, energy R&D and capital standards.
U2's Bono is the only one championing the cause of startups in the fight for poverty reduction and sustainable economic growth--and it isn't restricted to Africa or emerging economies either. A new study by the Goldwater Institute points to a "strong connection between a state's rate of entrepreneurship and declines in poverty"--put simply, more entrepreneurs equals less poverty.
The entrepreneurship policy environment in emerging economies may not be a significant obstacle to starting and growing new firms after all – at least if you ask high-growth entrepreneurs in those countries. That is one of the overarching findings in a paper released last week by Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) following a survey of more than 3,000 high-impact entrepreneurs in 34 countries.
you look in the media these days you see alleged signs of impending economic
doom—from the 'financial cliff' threatening to punish United States
policymakers if they can't reach agreement soon to the Eurozone crisis with the
Greek economy on the edge of collapse. Certainly all very troubling, but it is
only one side of the coin. For the past 10 days, I have seen the other side—a
side full of hope and promise thanks to a burgeoning movement to embrace
The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation is now accepting nominations for the Kauffman Junior Faculty Fellowship in Entrepreneurship Research (KJFF). The Kauffman Foundation will award up to seven Junior Faculty Fellowship grants to junior faculty members in the United States whose research has the potential to make significant contributions to the body of literature in entrepreneurship.
All eyes "in Washington" are on the fiscal cliff--well, except for those that are examining the details surrounding Benghazi and the resignation of CIA Director David Petraeus.
Each day, Innovation Daily checks the pulse of global innovation--courtesy of Innovation America. Here, we take a look at a handful of relevant stories it compiled last week.
Today marks the official opening of Global Entrepreneurship Week, now celebrated in 131 countries. Throughout this week, roughly 25,000 partner organizations will be actively engaged in holding 35,000 events, activities and competitions--engaging more than 7 million participants and equipping them with the skills and connections to take the next step in their entrepreneurial journey. But GEW is more than just a celebration, it is attracting new talent to the field and supplementing grassroots startup energy with top down endorsements that legitimize entrepreneurship.

Sundance Slate Boasts Horse Sex, Dakota Fanning
The 2007 Sundance Film Festival will run Jan. 18-28 and will include 122 feature films, with 82 world premieres, 24 North American premieres and 10 U.S. premieres. The selection committee had to wade through 3287 submitted features.
"We are witnessing a broadening of the traditional independent arena. In this year's Festival there is a breadth of subject matter, vision and innovative storytelling that is transforming the old idea of the American indie film," says Geoffrey Gilmore, director, Sundance Film Festival. "This year's American Competition reflects a newfound awareness and self-expression that results in an engagement by the work that is both political and personal, a collective voice fueled by a steadfast optimism and hope for the future."
On the documentary competition side, that steadfast optimism takes many unusual forms. Take Robinson Devour's "Zoo," a film about the aftermath of the death of a Seattle man who had -- to put it gently -- inappropriate relations with a horse. Also mining dark territory on the documentary side are Iraq-based docs like Charles Ferguson's "No End in Sight" and Rory Kennedy's "Ghosts of Abu Ghraib." Quirkier offerings seem to include Lincoln Ruchti's "Chasing Ghosts," about the 1982 Video Game World Champion" and Amir Bar-Lev's "My Kid Could Paint That," about a four-ear-old girl whose abstract paintings sell for big bucks.
The feature competition's most star-studded film may be Deborah Kampmeier's untitled Southern gothic tale of an abused girl who finds meaning in blues music, starring Fanning,
Other familiar faces appearing in competition films include
"Snow Angels" is directed by Sundance vet David Gordon Green, while other Festival alums with dramatic competition films including Chris Smith ("The Pool") and Jeffrey Blitz ("Rocket Science").
A complete list of the Sundance offerings, including international competition features and docs, can be found at http://festival.sundance.org/2007/.

Report: Kyrie Irving to be named Rookie of the Year
May 14, 2012, 1:05 AM EDT
Here's another NBA postseason award we all knew was coming it was just a matter of when….
Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving will be named the NBA Rookie of the Year on Tuesday, something first reported by Marc Stein at ESPN and confirmed by the Associated Press among others.
The voting should be almost a unanimous coronation for the former Duke player. He averaged 18.5 points and 5.5 assists a game, shot 39.9 percent from three, became a dangerous late game threat, and restored some hope to a Cleveland franchise that has been lacking it.
As the season wore on he pulled away from the competition for this award, although Ricky Rubio and Kenneth Faried will get some votes. This was one of the easiest choices on the ballot (and he would have gotten my vote as well)
- trickybastard - May 14, 2012 at 1:51 AM
Isaiah Thomas should be getting mentioned way before Faried or Rubio. Do you watch the NBA?
- moseskkim - May 14, 2012 at 3:20 AM
Well deserved. Kid can play and if he stays healthy, sky is the limit. He seems to have the it factor. Has a sweet 3 pt J and can drive and finish.
- fanz928 - May 14, 2012 at 6:09 AM
Faried = in the playoffs
Rubio = franchise
Isaiah t (the one on the kings) = suck ass team
- zblott - May 14, 2012 at 8:42 AM
Irving seems like an obvious choice, but there are a few reasons Faried should get more consideration:
1) Irving is a PG and his turnovers were way too high – this did not improve as the year went on, plus his own back-up did a far superior job taking care of the ball, so yes a good Ast/Tov rate could be accomplished on the Cavs.
2) Irving's own coach had plenty to say about his poor defense, something you never heard Karl complaining about with Faried.
3) Irving scored 7.6 more PPG than Faried as a starter, but it took 7.7 more shots/game. Faried shot an absurdly high 59% and never forced up shots.
4) Faried's Rebounding rate was outstanding to a degree that almost no rookies ever are able to compare in any category. Not only that, he lead the entire NBA in Offensive Rebounding %.

you obviously didn't actually watch Kyrie play.
- andyprough - May 14, 2012 at 9:52 AM
Down here in Texas, we know who the real rookie of the year was: Kawhi Leonard. All he did was make the West's #1 team last year better with excellent long-arm defense, great ball handling, and clutch shooting.
- abchome - May 14, 2012 at 10:11 AM
Good role player doesn't win ROY…
- latchbeam - May 14, 2012 at 10:42 AM
Well-deserved! He does it all!
- nodindenver - May 14, 2012 at 11:58 AM
The only thing he did was score 18 points per game on a team that Faried would average 18 with; somebody had to score! A rookie of the year should be noticed immediately every time they are on the court and I have not seen anybody that is immediately noticed like the Manimal was. The kid flat out makes a ton of plays that do not count on the stat sheet based upon good old fashioned elbow grease.

Think it was the HydeVery nice, not flabby or oxidized, if anyhting better than a year ago
Try to age a few
The fruit in this bottle lacked the vibrancy of prior bottles. (No rating--Possible provenance issue)
This wine is great. I decanted the wine and placed it back in the fridge (for 20 minutes), and pulled it out 20 minutes before I started drinking it with my wife. I generally think all these Kistler Chardonnays taste better with a few years of age. I tasted a blast of minerals followed by honeysuckle and perfume. The oak influences are minimal, and I would guess that they would continue to diminish with time, and be replaced by minerals and floral characteristics.I have one more bottle of this wine and I won't drink until 2017.
Lemongrass and honesuckle. Great minerality and acid. Smooth robust mouth feel.
I collected Kistler Chards and Pinot's for quite a few years. I can only say that in my experience with the Chards, time is not kind to these big, big wines.
Initially opened and consumed 3/4 of bottle. Recorked, and the TN is from 2 nights later.
The nose is showing signs of reduction like a burnt matchstick, significantly less apparent than it was 2 nights ago. Behind that overriding and distracting aroma, I can get red apple skin, pear, and pineapple notes, with a hint of spice. Quite tropical, as I would have expected.
The palate shows a dry wine, with high alcohol, making the wine almost have an apparent sweetness to it...but it is just the alcohol. The wine is full in body, and has some astringent tannins coming through, likely from the oak that was used during aging. These tannins were never able to fully integrate, and stick out a bit in opposition to the burly tropical fruit profile of pineapple, peach, and a hint of citrus. There is a long finish, for sure, but it feels quite manipulated and concocted, with butterscotch and marzipan.
This is a good quality wine overall, but a wine that was probably less-noticeably out of balance when younger, and that scale is tipping to show more faults rather than integration. The wine is a bit hot, and gummy, full of glycerol and extract, and overtly oaky. I will be glad to be finished with all my Kistler Chards later this year.

Diaper sizes for 9lb baby. Is newborn too small?
My son was 9lbs 10oz (and was predicted at 9.8) and he wears newborn during the day just so we aren't wasting them and then we use size one at night.
Neither of mine ever could wear newborn sposies - 9lbs 8oz and 8lbs 11oz
Mama to Finnegan Oscar 6/30/08
Atticus Calum 4/25/11
our first was born at 38 weeks at 8lbs 7 ozs. she never fit into newborn diapers... so this time around we didnt buy any newborn anything... then she decides to come at 37 weeks weighing 7lbs 14 ozs. (dropped to 7 lbs 3 ozs in hospital)... our hospital had her in size 1 diapers which were gigantic so we had to stop on our way home and get newborn diapers...
My 9 lbs 6 oz is still in newborns. I am finishing this pack of pampers newbies, then probably switching to size 1s...but I WILL finish this pack. ;)
Amy- Proud ♥USMC♥ wife since '98
♥Abigail-13♥, ♥Jacob-11♥, ♥Anderson-8♥, ♥Jillian 4♥
♥Alice 3/1/14♥ Adoption Final 6/23/15!!
It really depends on the baby (and the particular diaper), my DS always moves out of the diaper size, long before he hits the weight limit, just because he pees and poos in great quantities (yes, we change them often, he just goes a lot when he goes) :)
I don't think he was in newborn size very long, he was 8 lb 6 oz when born.
Mommy to Connor (August 2009) ,�Little Bean due late May, 2011 (it's going to be a girl!)
I don't always come back to threads I post on, PMAN if you need me :)�
My week 38 ultrasound showed I had a solid 9 pounder and my son ended up at 7 pounds 12 ounces. Newborn diapers fit perfectly for the last 2 weeks, better than the size 1's with the top folded down to go under the belly button.
My little man was 9lb3oz and he has been in size 1 pampers. Like another mama said, we just fold the front down on the diaper and it does not rub on his cord at all. But I will say I think it may depend on the brand, I have some 7th generation newborns and I do not think they are going to fit.
Married my high school sweetheart * 2007
Our Princesses- 09/22/09 & 05/05/11
Our 3rd Princess arrived 12/12/12!!!!!!
My LO is just over 8 pounds and he's going to grow out of newborn size very soon, I can tell. I'd get only one pack of newborn size, if I were you. If you need more, you can get them later. ;-)

Add a bit of gold glimmer to your closet with the bronze Orthaheel Women's Vionic Olivia, a ballet flat that provides contemporary grace along with topnotch orthotic support. Foot fatigue and the pains of incorrect pronation can soon be gone from your life with this footwear's podiatrist-designed insoles.
Footwear Attributes:
The Orthaheel Women's Vionic Olivia may feel unnatural if worn for extended stretches of hours for the first week or two, so initially wear for lesser spans to give your body the chance to adjust to the award-winning support structure.
I had my feet messured and wss told I was to purchase 8.5, but the 8.5 shoe fell off my foot while getting off my sailboat & ended up in the water. I bought the 8 and it fits perfectly! My feet are a bit narrow & thin on top and the 8 fits fine and stays on my feet! So all I buy now are the size 8snd I have no more problems. They do stretch out a bit after a lot of use snd I wear these a lot! I love them!!
I was so glad to find a pair of supportive shoes that had some modern style to them! The toe box and arch is very comfortable. My toes are not squished at all and these provide a lot of support. But, the heel has rubbed my ankles raw. I have to cover the backs of my heels with band-aids every time I wear them. I've had these about a month now and wear them to work almost every day. I would have thought by now they would have softened up a bit. If the heel was softer, I would give these a 5 star.
Great arch support in this dressy, but comfortable flat. Dressy enough for work but comfortable enough for jeans.
Wide is more narrow than some Orthaheel Medium wides such as the Orthaheel Myla. In fact I ordered both a wide and a medium and there was precious little difference between the two, if any.
I wasn't impressed with the arch support either. Wasn't as high as other Orthaheel shoes I have, thus doesn't keep my feet from some pronation
Everything else about the shoes was fine.
Love the color. I don't need my orthotics!
These feel just great! I have arch and heel issues and these take care of both without a my custom orthotic. And so cute too! I am going to order other styles!

"I bought my daughter a pair of UGG boots. I do not shop online but this time I decided to do so through your company. I was very impressed with how the service representatives answered my 100 questions. No matter how many times I called back, with yet another question, I was always greeted and given the personal attention as if I was the only phone call they had to answer. Whenever I called it was always refreshing to speak with a live person instead of a computer. Your company kept me in the loop by emailing me, I did not have to do follow up calls. Even when I had to return the boots for another style and size there was not attitude, just courtesy. I will be shopping from your company again, and believe me, I have already started telling people about Footwear etc. Keep up the good work"

In 2013, after George Zimmerman was acquitted for killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, a young woman in California named Alicia Garza wrote an emotional Facebook post that ended with the words "Our Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter." Her friend, Patrisse Cullors, turned that into a hashtag.

Why do we honor combat veterans? In his new novel, Air Force officer Jesse Goolsby asks that question through the stories of three veterans, their experiences in war and their lives back at home.
I'd Walk with My Friends If I Could Find Them is grounded in the wars of the last 15 years, but Goolsby points out the action takes place as much in the private lives the men lead in America as it does on the battlefield.

Like it or not, much of what we encounter online is mediated by computer-run algorithms — complex formulas that help determine our Facebook feeds, Netflix recommendations, Spotify playlists or Google ads.
But algorithms, like humans, can make mistakes. Last month, users found the photo-sharing site Flickr's new image-recognition technology was labeling dark-skinned people as "apes" and auto-tagging photos of Nazi concentration camps as "jungle gym" and "sport."

ROCKVILLE, MD -- (Marketwire) -- 12/14/12 -- MarketResearch.com has announced the addition of the market research report "SoLoMo (Social Local Mobile): A Game Changer for the Travel Industry?" to their product offering.
The overwhelming success of smartphones worldwide and the intersection between the mobile and social dimension has led to the rise of the so-called SoLoMo (social local mobile) trend. Today, travel companies can make use of the detailed information on travellers provided by geo-social marketing to target them more accurately. At the same time, consumers have become more demanding and expect to receive real time services wherever they are and at any time.
Location-based services and geo-social networks provide companies with information which is useful in targeting consumers more accurately through tailored offers based on their profiles and current locations.
However, the importance of the SoLoMo trend for travel companies goes well beyond location-based services and consists in the possibility for travellers to receive real time services (including booking capabilities) wherever they are and at any time, before, during or after the trip.
Airlines are offering several mobile services to their customers on the go, including check-ins, flight alerts and the possibility to book on-board services, making mobile devices both a customer service tool and a source of ancillary revenues.
Today, travel companies need to embrace the SoLoMo trend fully, integrating it in their strategies and business models in order to benefit from the increasing share of business generated by the new mobile and social consumers.

EDITED after a few months of use:
I love this. I used to have oily, dehydrated skin that was peeling all over. Now I just use this after my cleanser--4 drops of it--and I glow like I'm lit from within. No sticky feeling, just smooth, bouncy skin. If my skin's particularly parched, eg after a clay mask, I top up with one drop of Hada Labo milk. That's it. No more heavy moisturizers that weigh my skin down--just this amazing lotion with its supernano particles that fill out my dehydrated top layers.

Let me just start by saying I've used loads of different types of facial products and nothing has ever really seemed to work on my extremely acne-prone, combination skin. By work, I mean reduce my breakouts.
I was running low on toner and moisturiser, so I bought this lotion (which is really a toner) along with its moisturising milk. Actually, I got the milk first because I thought it was the lotion. I tried the milk on its own for about 1-2 weeks and there was not much difference.
However, once I started using the lotion, I was SO AMAZED. My skin felt like it could actually bounce and there was no greasiness. There was only a slight bit of stickiness (not greasy/oily, but sticky) but my face still felt soft and supple.
Honestly, in only about 3 days, I could already see that my pimples were decreasing. When one does appear, I apply some OXY and it goes away so, so, SO much faster than before.
Also, my face feels a lot more supple and hydrated. This lotion works wonders. Apparently, 1 bottle is sold every 4 seconds in Japan. When I saw the advertisement for it, I didn't think much of it at all. But then I decided I'd try it out and I don't regret one bit. One of my friends, who has super goddess skin, has even complimented me on my skin and said my acne seems to have gone down by a lot.
The moisturising milk is good too, but it has to be applied sparingly because it tends to make your face feel oily if you slap on way too much.
Oh and I almost forgot: You only need a little of each every time you apply them on, so one bottle lasts really long. Best thing is that it works too!

I simply love Japanese skincare! they are usually affordable and even the drug store brands are way superior than the ones in North America and best of all, it suits my Asian skin!
I have both the regular Hyaluronic Lotion and the Deep Whitening Lotion by Rohto. I prefer the Deep Whitening lotion as it hydrates and evens my skin tone. The texture after it dries is heavenly! It is mattifying and makes me skin very soft.
The big bottle is about $20CAD a pop which is very affordable and can be easy found on eBay.
Right now, I use them interchangeably and love them both. It hydrates very well and its thicker than a regular toner but thinner than a gel lotion so I empty some on my palm and pat them into my face so that I won't waste any toner/lotion.

A ha, my first Japanese lotion/toner. This is not your typical Western toner that acts as a final cleansing step, more of a moisture booster in my opinion. Since I primarily use a light moisturizer for day and whitening creams at night, this takes care of the hydration department that I don't have in my normal creams. It is goopy, not like a water at all, but absorbs surprisingly quickly (a minute at most for me), and does not cause reactions. And a small 2cm diameter blob is plenty. I use the regular formula for my combo slightly dry skin, but I know there is a light version as well. I think applied heavily under a hot towel or Japanese compressed paper mask this would work well as a 5min hydration mask too. Highly recommended for a moisture booster. Buy at Sasa, Adambeauty, eBay, or any other Asian etailers, I think Sasa is cheapest though.

I have very finicky skin and over the years, I've learned that there is unfortunately no one miracle product. While Hada Labo isn't without its flaws, it performs well for several of my needs (my skin is prone to breakouts, and combination oily but dehydrated and flaky from Tazorac.) My biggest needs for Hada Labo was for it to not break me out or make me greasy but still help soothe (if not outright get rid of) my dehydration.
So did Hada Labo meet my needs? Well, this is not a product that will give you heavy duty moisture, so if your skin is more mature or on the dry side it won't be enough unless you layer with something much heavier. Even for my not-so-dry skin, it's not wholly sufficient on its own for my dehydrated/flaky areas. I need to layer a light moisturizer on top of it. In addition, while it doesn't outright break me out I've noticed an increase of blackheads on my nose if I apply the lotion/toner there. Nonetheless, even with these flaws, I won't be giving up my bottle soon.
Even though Hada Labo's not hydrating enough on its own for my drier areas (cheeks, sides of mouth), it allows for other light moisturizers which wouldn't be enough on THEIR own to suddenly be sufficient. I've tried layering light moisturizers on top of one another before and they all end up too heavy as a result. Hada Labo is light enough for my layering experiments to not end up greasy. In addition, on my less flaky areas (jawline), it's actually moisturizing enough all on its own. So for those of you who are more oily, Hada Labo would probably be all that you need. As for the blackheads issue, I just avoid applying it onto my nose (which is really pretty oily on its own already and doesn't need the extra hydration) and problem solved. The end result is skin that is much more hydrated, soft, and touchably smooth but not greasy or broken out - exactly what I wanted; it just required that I make some adjustments with other products and methods as well.
The price for Hada Labo is also quite fair, I've seen other hyaluronic products sold out there for faaar more expensive. It can be a bit difficult to source if you're not located in Asia, but with the power of the internet, that's hardly an issue. As a quick side note though, you really do need to pat the product in per the advertisements, otherwise it just remains slippy on the skin and isn't fully absorbed. All in all, Hada Labo's not perfect, but there are some definite benefits to be gained that may suit your needs.

This is my first Japanese style toners that I tried and I'm never going back! I was using clinique toner before and I wasn't too pleased with it. Although it made my skin feels 'clean' it also dried it up. After reading some reviews and considering the price (rm 30 after discount, less than 10 dollars) i bought it. And what a difference it has made to my skin! My skin is less oily n feels more hydrated now. And it doesn't cause breakout as well. I don't know the science behind it but it works. Some people say that this is gimmick as hyaluronic acid can't be absorbed by your skin and maybe it's true but I dont care because it's cheap and the ingredients is quite good as it's free of alcohol and mineral oil. I have used 2 bottles and I'm buying a third. I rarely bought the same product twice because I like to try new things but this is the exception. Thanks!

on the first time I was not too interested with these products because i think these products special for dry skin, while my skin oily. but after I saw on the forums give very good rave to this product, even for oily skin.
then I bought a sample size of 20ml, was in a very good product for my skin. you should know that before using this my skin are acne prone and really sensitive and i used the doctor product which make my face more sansitive, when having decided to remove my doctor cream and then replace it with hada Labo. I do not expect too much that this product will work wonders for my face. but now my skin supple, soft and not dry anymore, much better before when I was wearing cream from doctor

I love this toner so much cus it's very hydrating and you get a 170ml of product for the price you pay. I definitely feel that my skin is less dry at night cus I usually sleep with my air-con on. I highly recommend this toner and believe it or not I think my skin got clearer although this toner can only moisturize your skin. Maybe it's the hyaluronic acid helping with the absorption of the tretinoin which I use after the toner at night.

I heard such great reviews on this product but it didn't work for me. I did the whole slapping thing ever night using about 3-5 drops of this product. I didn't really like the sticky feeling it gave me and after a few weeks I noticed it started giving me little bumps so I stopped using it. I guess it's too hydrating for my skin (which is normal, not dry nor oily).

Grain markets trade mixed Monday
The grain markets traded mixed Monday as the slightly improved weather outlook and nervousness on Greece seemed to largely keep a lid on futures. Weekly export inspections for corn were 839,824 tonnes, according to the USDA, compared to 1.041 million tonnes last week. The 6 to 10 weather outlook is calling for below average rainfall and above average temps for much of the Midwest, though parts of Indiana and Ohio appear to have more rain in their forecast. Corn crop ratings, due out this afternoon, are expected to be 1-2% lower the 68% rating last week.

[ISL] "Happily Obscure: the Kingdom of Macaronesia"
Frank Jacobs of Strange Maps has an enlightening post looking at Macaronesia, the collection of North Atlantic islands off the European and African coasts that includes the Portuguese Azores and Madeira, the Spanish Canaries, and the independent and ex-Portuguese Cape Verde islands. I wrote about this 2005, there noting how despite its independence Cape Verde was moving as quickly as poissible towards the European Union and its Macaronesian peers. The very idea of the region, Jacobs argues, is still obscure.
In its most common definition, Macaronesia consists of four island groups, belonging to three different countries: the Azores, the Madeira Islands [5] (both Portuguese possessions), the Canary Islands (Spain), and the independent archipelago of Cape Verde.
The name refers to the Fortunate Islands, a.k.a. the Islands of the Blessed (makaron nesoi), situated by ancient Greek legend beyond the Pillars of Hercules, in the Atlantic Ocean. As is the case with Atlantis, the precise mix of fact and fiction is hard to untangle in the case of the Fortunate Islands.
Perhaps those Greek legends were based on actual knowledge of the Canaries or other nearby islands. But their location beyond the horizon of the Greek world provided them with mythical qualities: island paradises rich in fowl and flowers, last resting place of heroes. According to Pliny the Elder, the only drawbacks were the "putrefying bodies of monsters, which are constantly thrown up by the sea."
In later centuries, the Greek legends of happy faraway lands beyond the sea were conflated with similar Celtic legends (Avalon, Tir na nOg), with Viking explorations of Vinland and even with the Antilles.
[LINK] "Catalan Leader Hopes EU Will Convince Spain to Discuss Split"
Bloomberg's Sangwom Yoon and Esteban Duarte write about how the Catalonian president wants the European Union to encourage Spain to negotiate Catalonia independence, so avoiding a more disruptive unilateral declaration of independence.
Catalan President Artur Mas said he hopes to avoid a unilateral declaration of independence by leaning on the "biggest" European Union countries to convince Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy to negotiate the split.
"Some European countries will get involved in the affair" if the central Spanish government continues to refuse to collaborate on Catalonia's independence, Mas, 59, said in an interview in New York. They could try "to convince the authorities in Madrid that it is always better to negotiate and to reach agreements because the economy is at stake."
The Catalan leader made the two-day visit to persuade asset managers and business executives to keep investing in Catalonia and support its secession because separation will guarantee a better economic future for both the Catalans and the Spanish. He also delivered a speech at Columbia University, in which he invoked American poet Robert Frost by likening Catalonia's path to independence as the road less traveled.
Mas said he will begin the process of separating from Spain if pro-secession parties win a majority in the Sept. 27 elections, even though the Spanish government calls any such moves illegal. The Catalan leader agreed Mar. 31 on a road map toward independence with Oriol Junqueras, the leader of his separatist allies Esquerra Republicana, another political party.
While no European countries have voiced support for Catalonia, their neutrality on the matter is a positive signal for the Catalans, Mas said.
[LINK] "Banking Enclave of Andorra Shaken by U.S. Accusations"
Bloomberg's Macarena Munoz depicts the effect on Andorra of accusations from the United States that some in its substantial banking sector are laundering money.
Juan Ovelar made a quick decision when he heard the U.S. government had accused his Andorran bank of money-laundering, and immediately withdrew most of his funds.
"I'm worried that everyone will do the same as I did and there will be a knock-on effect that could affect other banks," said Ovelar, 27, a computer expert from Argentina, in an interview outside the headquarters of Banca Privada d'Andorra in the capital Andorra La Vella.
The U.S. Treasury named Banca Privada d'Andorra, the country's fourth-largest bank, a "primary money-laundering concern" on March 10. That led to its seizure by Andorran authorities, the arrest of the chief executive officer and a run on customer funds at the lender's Spanish unit.
The bank's fate sent tremors through Andorra, a 181-square-mile (469 square-kilometer) Catalan-speaking microstate in the eastern Pyrenees with an economy based on skiing, tax-free shopping and banking. The scandal raises risks for its financial industry, which makes up almost a fifth of the 1.8 billion-euro ($2 billion) economy and is too big to be bailed out by the state, said Xavier Puig, a professor at Barcelona's Universidad Pompeu Fabra.
Customers lined up at the bank's branches to take out their money after it limited cash withdrawals to 2,500 euros a week, starting March 16. The bank's new management, appointed by local regulators, imposed the limit after international banks severed credit lines, a person with knowledge of the situation said.
[LINK] "'Ni Boisekoa naiz': Keeping Basque alive in Idaho"
Ryan Schuessler of Al Jazeera America depicts the efforts of many Americans of Basque descent, concentrated in (among other areas) Idaho, to keep fluency in the Basque language going.
Standing against the wall of the crowded Leku Ona (Good Place) bar, Dave Asumendi took a sip of his wine as he watched a group of young people dancing in circles, moving to the music of a band that kept switching between Basque folk songs and accordion-infused Johnny Cash tunes.
It was Thursday night on Boise's Basque Block, a small stretch of Basque-American businesses and cafes in Idaho's capital. Asumendi had just arrived from the intermediate Basque language course taught at the cultural center across the street.
"It's always been a lifelong burn to learn the language," he said.
Asumendi, whose grandparents immigrated to the United States from Spain, is one of the many Basque-Americans who have mobilized to learn their unique ancestral tongue, which now has fewer than 1 million speakers worldwide. In recent years, the autonomous Basque government in Spain has invested significantly in language education, looking to boost the number of Basque speakers in Spain and in Basque diaspora communities.
One of the least likely beneficiaries of that largesse has been Idaho, which hosts one of the most active and vibrant communities of Basque-Americans in the U.S. and one where many community members are dedicated to keeping the language going. There are Basque classes for all ages and abilities — often taught by teachers paid by the Basque regional government — and even a Basque immersion preschool, plus a Basque studies department at Boise State University.
Idaho has the highest percentage of Basque speakers in the U.S. and is home to five of the top nine counties where Basque is spoken. In two of those counties — Lincoln and Owyhee — Basque is the third-most-common language spoken in the home, after English and Spanish.
[DM] "Why Is Spain's Population Loss An Economic Problem?"
Demography Matters co-blogger Edward Hugh has posted there, and posted at A Fistful of Euros, an analysis of Spain's economic future taking dire demographics into account. With high unemployment driving emigration, combined with a very low birth rate, Spain's future seems challenged.
The most obvious result of having such a high level of unemployment over such a long period of time – Spain's overall rate won't be below 20% before 2017 at the earliest – is that people are steadily leaving the country in search of better opportunities elsewhere. Initially this new development was officially denied, and since there is little policy interest in the topic we still don't have any adequate measure of just how many young educated Spaniards are now working outside their home country. Anecdotal evidence, however, backs the idea that the number is large and the phenomenon widespread. All too often articles in the popular press are misleading simply because journalists have no better data to work from than anyone else. On the other hand work like this from researchers at the Bank of Spain (Spain: From (massive) immigration to (vast) emigration? – 2013) only serves to illustrate how little we know, especially about movement among Spanish nationals.
On the other hand, when it comes to migration flows among non Spanish nationals we do have a lot better quality information due to the existence of the the municipal register electronic database. Everyone who wishes to be included in the health system needs to register with it (whether they are a regular or an irregular immigrant), and non Spanish nationals need to re-register with a certain frequency (so the authorities know if they leave).
More than an economic phenomenon, Spain's property boom was a demographic one. Since births only just exceeded deaths, between 1980 and 2000 Spain's population rose slowly, by just over 2 million people. Then between 2000 and 2009 it suddenly surged by 7 million. This was almost entirely due to immigration, with workers coming to the country from all over the globe attracted by the booming jobs market. Then in 2008 the boom came to an abrupt end, and unemployment went through the roof causing the trend to reverse. Since 2010 more people have left the country every year than have arrived, with the consequence that the population is now falling. Given that in 2015 the statistics office forecast that for the first time deaths will exceed births, it is most likely that this decline will continue and continue.
In fact the overall migration number – a net 251 thousand people emigrated in 2013 according to official data – only tells part of the story. The majority of young Spanish people working abroad are not included in these numbers (unless they have explicitly informed the Spanish authorities they are leaving, and few do this, partly because they do not consider themselves "emigrants"), but just as importantly the net balance masks very large movements in both directions. According to the national statistics office over half a million people (532 thousand to be precise) emigrated from Spain in 2013, while 285 thousand people entered the country as immigrants. So the net migration statistic covers over what are really very large flows.
The number of annual births in Spain has been steadily falling since the mid 1970s. They accelerated again slightly in the first years of this century, partly due to the shadow effect of an earlier boom in the 1970s, and partly because the incoming immigrants had a slightly higher birth rate. Coinciding with the outbreak of the crisis births peaked again in 2008 (after an initial peak in 1976 – ie 32 years later, average age at first childbirth is now just above 30) , and now the statistics office forecast a continuous decline.
[LINK] "Independent Catalonia Would Have Investment Grade: Study"
Bloomberg's Esteban Duarte reports on a study claiming that an independent Catalonia would be quite financially sound, at least so long as it stayed in the Eurozone.
Catalonia would recover its investment-grade credit rating if it reached an agreement on independence from Spain, according to study to be presented today by an economists' group from the region.
The region's government would merit an A+ rating, Standard & Poor's fifth-highest grade, if it was released from its obligations to the rest of Spain, according to the study carried out by Joan Elias Boada, a former economist at La Caixa, Spain's third-largest lender, and Joan Maria Mateu, a former finance director for southern Europe at German industrial company Weidmuller GmbH & Co. KG. That's seven steps higher than the region's current junk rating of BB, and would put it on a par with Israel and Korea.
"The credit rating of an independent Catalonia, consolidated as a new European state and a member of the European Union, would be logically even better," Elias Boada and Mateu wrote in the study for the Col·legi d'Economistes de Catalunya.
Catalan President Artur Mas this month called regional elections for Sept. 27 as he seeks a mandate to negotiate a split from Spain. The region transfers about 8.5 billion euros ($9.7 billion), or 4.35 percent of its gross domestic product, per year to the rest of Spain, as tax collection exceeds the public-sector expenditure, according to a July study for the Spanish Budget Ministry.

I purchased this CD version to save money, but now wish I'd spent the extra for the text. There is nothing like flipping through the pages of a textbook to look for answers to questions. The program is easy enough to manipulate on the computer, but we still like the standard "feel" of having the book in hand. We'll continue with the Apologia Science programs through high school, but will be purchasing texts in the future. However, for the bargain shopper, you can't beat it!
