Peabody Essex MuseumRead MoreIn 1799, Salem's weathered seafarers founded the East India Marine Society and began to assemble "natural and artificial curiosities" brought back from their journeys to Asia, Africa, and other distant lands. Over the following centuries, the collection grew, and while it did, the Society evolved through various shapes until it became the Peabody Essex Museum. Today, more than 1.8 million of these works invite visitors to explore the world in a facility that underwent a $200 million transformation in 2003. The majority of works now rest in a Moshe Safdie–designed glass-and-brick building, focused around a sunny atrium whose various architectural silhouettes echo local forms. This new building joins the East India Marine Hall, built by the seafarers' society in 1825 and dedicated in a ceremony attended by President John Adams. Today, that National Historic Landmark hosts society-member portraits and a number of the hall's original objects; in other galleries, paintings and sculptures by Japanese, Indian, and Chinese artists hang on the walls or perch in glass cases like pies with personal-space issues. Guests can also tour Yin Yu Tang, the only complete Qing Dynasty house outside of China and a 200-year-old structure with intricate carvings. In 2013, the Peabody Essex Museum will add exciting new displays to its rotating special exhibitions, from Faberge treasures to impressionistic masterpieces from the likes of Monet, Renoir, and Manet, as well as modern African-American art and contemporary art from India. After marveling at the skill and diversity of the artwork, visitors can drop by the Atrium Café or the Garden Restaurant for a bite to eat.East India Square, 161 Essex StSalem, MA US
Schooner "Fame"Read MoreCaptain William Webb bellowed to his crewmen, "Ready cannons, bring her to starboard!" as they rounded on the English ship Concord. He wasn't born a soldier, but the English had press-ganged some of his closest friends into slavery on their warships, stolen his family's livelihood, and set his home of Salem, Massachusetts, on the path to financial ruin. Like many other merchants, fishermen, and ship owners, Webb and his crew outfitted whatever boats they could find to fight the English during the War of 1812, and the 70-foot Fame was no exception. The original Fame went on 11 more journeys before being wrecked in 1814 and now lives on as a luxurious home for the retired actors of The Little Mermaid. The Fame seen around Salem today is a direct replica of that heroic ship, built exactly as the original was in the early 19th century. Passengers on the ship's daily public sails relive the experience of navigating the Atlantic in an traditional, wooden, gaff-rigged schooner. The boat also plays host to weeklong camps, during which kids learn how to sail, tie essential knots, and read charts and maps before camping out for an evening of dumping tea in the ocean.Pickering Wharf MarinaSalem, MA US
Get In Shape For Women ActonRead MoreTo help women achieve their fitness goals, the certified personal trainers at Get In Shape For Women focus on four areas: weight training, cardio training, nutrition, and accountability. In small group sessions, trainers modify exercises to suit up to four ladies' fitness levels, beginning by calibrating strength-training sessions—such as free weights, lunges, and squats—to each client's abilities while still ensuring they are challenging themselves. Then comes high-intensity cardio interval-training sessions in which trainers encourage exercisers to achieve optimal results on the treadmill or elliptical. The trainers supplement the group workouts with nutritional planning centered around the concept of eating six small, balanced meals six days a week. They set aside the seventh day as a "free day" for a bit of indulgence, be it eating a favorite sweet or lusting openly after bacon. To hold their women accountable, trainers talk nutrition on the floor during scheduled appointments, and the ladies' progress toward reaching their goals is measured by trainers each week.281 Essex St.Salem, MA US
Yoga SaktiRead MoreDespite many obvious differences, new yogis and fighter pilots share a common fear: turning upside-down for the first time. At Yoga Sakti, however, instructors have installed a yoga wall that acts as a fail-safe for students who want to practice their inversions. A system of straps and props support pupils as they attempt advanced postures or strive to overcome physical difficulties, such as back problems. An aid for beginners and experts alike, the wall also acts as a symbol of the large studio's welcoming, encouraging atmosphere. When they aren't manning the wall, yoga instructors lead classes in a wide variety of styles, from heated Vinyasa sequences to mellow gentle-stretch sessions or even mellower Nap in Your Parked Car seminars. Variety is a major theme running through the gym's curriculum: TRX routines bookend spin classes and ballet-barre workouts or combine with kettlebell swings to form one of several combo classes. For a more meditative visit, guests can explore the onsite wellness center, where massage, acupuncture, and hypnosis therapy aim to calm the mind.29 Bridge StreetSalem, MA US
DealflicksRead MoreDid you know that, on average, 88% of the seats in a movie theater remain empty during a showing? According to the New York Times, this phenomenon really surprised Sean Wycliffe a few years back when he went to see the Oscar-winning film The King's Speech and shared the theater with only two other audience members. With all the focus on online video services, Sean realized movie theaters were being overlooked, and came up with a concept that could help movie houses fill their empty seats. His brainchild became Dealflicks, a website that offers customers discounted tickets (sometimes with popcorn or soda) for same-day showings. Customers shop a selection of deals, each of which is specific to a particular film, theater, and showtime, and upon purchase, receive an email voucher they present at the theater's ticket counter. Dealflicks is partnered with theaters around the country, particularly independent and neighborhood venues, such as the treehouse of the enterprising kid down the street.1 E India Square MallSalem, MA US

EPA Hosts Mississippi Black Mayors Conference
On Thursday, February 5, 2015, U.S. EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy delivered the keynote address to visiting mayors, elected officials, and other federal partner leaders at the Mississippi Conference of Black Mayors (MCBM) held at the Sam Nunn Federal Center in Atlanta, Georgia.
Focusing on the theme "Building Sustainable Communities through Effective Federal, State and Local Partnerships", McCarthy touched upon environmental success stories accomplished in Mississippi, budgetary challenges, and the benefits of multi-agency cooperative environment.
"In 2013, EPA supported the Mississippi Environmental Justice Advocates Project, which works to reduce asthma rates from secondhand smoke," said McCarthy. "And through our Brownsfield program, EPA has awarded 25 grants in the last 5 years in Mississippi, including in places like Gulfport, Greenville, and Quinton, to clean up and revitalize unused sites –spurring economic growth and creating jobs."
During the morning session (Prior to the keynote address), the Honorable Thelma Collins, Itta Bena, MS, Sedrick Smith, Charleston, MS, and Anthony Witherspoon, Magnolia, MS gave presentations on the many challenges their cities and constituents face at the local level. With a raise of hands, several of the Mayors in attendance acknowledged the constraints on their respective cities' budget that limit staff support and in some cases mayoral compensation.
Throughout the day, municipality leaders and representatives from state and federal agencies including U.S. Depart of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), US Department of Agriculture (USDA), U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), EPA, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Health and Human Services (HHS), US Department of Labor (DOL), Small Business Administration (SBA), U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA), U.S. Environmental Finance Center (EFC), and Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MSDEQ) discussed partnership, grant and technical support opportunities.
EPA Southeast Regional Administrator Heather McTeer Toney and Hattiesburg, MS Mayor Johnny Dupree brought the conference to a close by encouraging collaboration between the local governments and the cadre of agencies in an effort to develop solutions to the challenges affecting their communities.
EPA, HUD Honor Congressman James Clyburn
EPA and HUD acknowledged the pioneering efforts of Congressman James Clyburn in championing environmental justice in South Carolina at a ceremony on the campus of Spartanburg Community College in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
The ceremony was the capstone event in honor of the 20th Anniversary of the Environmental Justice Executive Order. Activities leading up to the ceremony included a tour of the Awkright and Forest Park neighborhoods and a Project Update Forum. EPA officials Mathy Stanislaus, Assistant Administrator of the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response, Heather McTeer Toney, Regional Administrator Southeast Region, and representatives from the business communities shared their involvement and experience with the ReGenesis Partnership with attendees.
The ReGenesis Environmental Justice Partnership was formed in 2000 to clean up contamination of hazardous waste sites, reduce cumulative pollution problems, and restore the vibrancy of the Awkright and Forest Park neighborhoods.
"Our mission for EPA is to protect human health and the environment, and that's the people and communities of which we serve" said McTeer Toney. "The revitalization of this area was brought about by a collaborative effort of people coming together and making a decision that they must work to improve the quality of life in their community."
The partnership has transformed the two neighborhoods over the last 15 years with the assistance of public and private sector entities. Utilizing equitable development, over $250 million was leveraged for reinvestment and development opportunities benefiting the residents and businesses of the community. Monies delivered to the area were used to establish the ReGenesis Community Health Care Center and fund the construction of the C.C. Woodson Community Center.
The ReGenesis Partnership honored Tim Fields, Senior Vice President of MDB, Inc., and Cynthia Peurifoy, EPA Region 4, for their respective roles in assisting the community. Peurifoy received the inaugural South Carolina Community Grass Roots Advocacy for Environmental and Economic Justice Award. The award will be given annually and bear the name of its inaugural recipient.
Mustafa Ali, Acting Senior Advisor to the Administrator for Environmental Justice, commended Congressman Clyburn for having played a significant leadership role in the field of environmental justice for over 20 years. "His pioneering work with members of the Congressional Black Caucus by convening the first Environmental Justice Braintrust in 1999 and The National Environmental Policy Commission (NEPC) have helped to enhance the understanding of the need to develop a comprehensive national environmental justice policy that fosters the protection of human health and the environment, and ensures environmental justice while promoting economic development," said Ali. "His early efforts helped to lay the groundwork for successful community driven collaborative projects such as ReGenesis."
Congressman Clyburn was presented with the Environmental Justice Pioneer Award for his leadership in bringing the plight of disenfranchised communities to the forefront of environmental decision-making.
"When EJ and Civil Rights were not popular, Congressman Clyburn challenged the government to deliver its resources to the communities that needed them because of the history of disinvestment and decisions that led to these disproportionate impacts," said Mathy Stanislaus.
Ed Jennings, Southeast Regional Administrator HUD, delivered the keynote address for the evening's ceremony.

Three queens walk into a London department store ...
On Thursday, Duchess Kate hit London department store Fortnum & Mason with stepmother-in-law Duchess Camilla and grandmother-in-law Queen Elizabeth. Arriving in the queen's Bentley, all three women wore different shades of blue: Camilla in navy, her majesty in eggshell blue, Duchess Kate in a fall-winter 2010 Missoni coat, accented by two daffodils to commemorate St. David's Day.
PHOTOS: LOL! Who photo-bombed Kate's wedding pic?
Although it was the trio's first official public duty performed en masse -- part of the Diamond Jubilee schedule, celebrating the queen's 50th year on the throne -- Kate, 30, Camilla, 64, and Elizabeth, 85, were like three girls in, well, a candy store!
A source inside the shop reveals that Kate went straight to the chocolate counter (which she called "the naughty counter") in the newly restored food hall and confessed to the staff, "Oh, I love chocolate. Yes. I think most girls like chocolate"
PHOTOS: Kate's incredible year
Prince Charles' wife, Camilla, meanwhile, tucked into a bag of gourmet jelly beans nearby. "What a treat!" she cooed.
Queen Elizabeth, however, abstained from all sweets during the visit -- but did join a tea party at the store with 150 staff members, and checked out a cake commemorating the renaming of the store restaurant to The Diamond Jubilee Tea Station.
"They thoroughly enjoyed the visit," a source says. "Kate bought some Fortnum & Mason dog biscuits for Lupo."
During a plaque unveiling outside, "Kate was standing by Camilla the whole time, making sure not to get in the way of the queen. She seemed a little quieter than usual, taking lead from Camilla the whole time."

Though most analysts were negative toward Kia Motors Corp. 000270 -1.54 % in May 2009, Sanjeev Rana, senior industrial analyst at Deutsche Bank Asia Pacific Research, stuck with a buy rating on South Korea's No. 2 car maker throughout 2010.
"At that time, most foreign brokerage analysts were negative because Kia had been a chronic problem child of [ Hyundai Motor Group HYMLY -0.01 % ]," says the 35-year-old Mr. Rana, noting that he was one of few analysts to put a positive rating on the stock early in 2009.
Mr. Rana, who has been covering the sector in South Korea for eight years, also kept a positive stance toward Hyundai Motor, which owns a 39% stake in Kia, throughout 2010.
Kia and Hyundai, which collectively form the world's fifth-largest car maker by sales, had full-year returns last year of 155% and 45%, respectively, picks that helped propel Mr. Rana to the top spot in the automobiles and auto parts sector.
Mr. Rana also scored well with auto parts maker Hyundai Mobis. 012330 -2.64 % He shifted his rating on the company from hold to buy on April 7, giving investors who listened to his advice a 77% full-year return.
Mr. Rana said he expects 2011 to be another strong year for Hyundai Motor Group because of robust car demand in the U.S. and in emerging markets like Russia and Brazil.
"They have right products that customers want and their brand recognition has improved tremendously," he said.
He also notes that Korean auto makers have a lot of room to grow, currently accounting for just 8% of the global market share.
He also likes Kia and Hyundai's diversified sales mixes; no single market accounts for more than 20% of their total sales volume.
"Their peers in Japan or Europe either depend too much on the home market or the U.S. market, which makes their earnings very vulnerable to the economy of those markets," he said.
Production facilities and new-model launches have been affected in Japan because of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami. Because Hyundai Motor Group depends very little on Japanese auto parts, Mr. Rana said he expects strong sales momentum for both Hyundai and Kia in the near term.

England prove victory over India was no fluke with impressive display on first day of the third Test
Monty Panesar takes two crucial wickets
Stephen Brenkley
Stephen Brenkley is Cricket Correspondent for The Independent.
Wednesday 05 December 2012
England offered irrefutable evidence today that they mean business in India. By reducing their opponents to 273 for 7 on the opening day of the Third Test, the tourists demonstrated that their glorious deeds in the second were no random fluke.
Making light of losing what seemed an important toss — the fifth time that Alastair Cook has called wrongly in his five Tests as captain — they bowled and fielded with a clinical perseverance that broke India's patience. Pace and spin combined potently to ensure the tourists fashioned an advantage.
Jimmy Anderson was sublime with new ball and old and his mastery of reverse swing was a joy to observe. But Monty Panesar was no less incisive, intelligently reducing the pace of his left-arm spin to take account of a surface slower than that on which he took 11 wickets in Mumbai last week.
There were three wickets for the paceman, two for the spinner. It was Anderson who made the key breakthrough in the innings when he removed Sachin Tendulkar for an innings of 76 from 155 balls, and had the telling final word of the day when he struck with the second new ball in the penultimate over to remove the potentially troublesome Ravichandran Ashwin.
Anderson was admirably skilful throughout and especially so with the old ball in the afternoon session. He persuaded one to move fractionally away which Tendulkar edged and Matt Prior swooped low to his right to pouch an exemplary one-handed catch. If Tendulkar effectively kept India afloat he was hesitant, fretful and anxious by turns for the first two thirds of his innings.
It is barely overstating the case to suggest that he could have been out at any time as he jabbed and prodded his uncertain way to his first half century in 11 Test innings. But the crucial point was that he survived and England were undoubtedly elated to see his departure.
There were perhaps two ways of judging his unfamiliar contribution. Either it was a man who knew that if he saw his way through the bad times the good times would come or it was someone whose best days were behind him and would never be the same again.
Having lost the toss and won the match in Mumbai, Cook would not have been utterly despondent when the coin came down against him again. But it was pretty clear pretty early that the surface was slow and largely unresponsive.
After 45 minutes England were already wondering where their first wicket was coming from. It came courtesy of sloppy calling and running between Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir. Having cantered two following Sehwag's dismissive flick to deep midwicket there seemed to be a third which Segwag went for and Gambhir did not.
By the time Sehwag turned back for safety, Steve Finn's throw from the boundary, having gathered from Samit Patel's diving save, was on its way in. He was run out by a yard.
Finn, included in the side at the expense of the vice-captain, Stuart Broad, had justified his selection by that timely intervention alone.
Thus was relief provided in unexpected fashion and when Chetashwar Pujara completely misjudged a straight ball from Panesar, which breached his indeterminate defence England were firmly in the game.
Gambhir grew in authority but shortly after reaching his half century he launched into a cut at Panesar which flew to slip where a jubilant Jonathan Trott held the catch. Virat Kohli's bitterly disappointing series continued apace when he was utterly outsmarted by Anderson.
What he expected cannot be certain, what he got was one that held its own to which he opened the face for Graeme Swann to take a catch by his ankles. Used or not, bowler friendly or not, it was not a pitch on which India expected or ought to have been 126 for 4.
They dug in awhile as Tendulkar gradually seemed to warm to the whole idea of batting again, rather than convey it as a form of torture. Yuvraj Singh, also in need of runs, went after them in style by using his feet adeptly to the spinners, sashaying down the pitch to Panesar and driving over long off for six.
But spin also did for him when he carelessly pushed Swann in the air to cover where Cook did the rest.
Tendulkar followed but England were doubtless thinking they could do with another wicket as MS Dhoni and Ashwin dug in, Anderson provided with a ball that seared its way to the stumps.

Delta Drops After Margin Forecast Trails Estimates
July 19 (Bloomberg) -- Delta Air Lines Inc., the world's largest carrier, fell the most in two weeks in New York trading after its operating margin forecast trailed some analysts' estimates.
The third-quarter operating margin will be 10 percent to 12 percent, Delta said today in reporting second-quarter earnings. That lagged behind estimates of 13.3 percent by Hunter Keay, a Stifel Nicolaus & Co. analyst, and 13 percent by Michael Derchin, an analyst at CRT Capital Group LLC in Stamford, Connecticut.
"This is a case where people got a little too ahead of themselves on expectations -- their guidance was in the ballpark, but a little light," said Derchin, who recommends buying the stock.
The outlook provided by Delta, the first major U.S. carrier to report second-quarter results, reflects a cautious view as last-minute business travel remains difficult to predict in the current economy, Derchin said. Shares fell across the industry on investor concern that other airlines may provide outlooks that fail to meet analysts' estimates, he said.
Delta slid 34 cents, or 2.9 percent, to $11.38 at 4 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading, the most since July 2. The Bloomberg U.S. Airlines Index, which consists of 12 carriers, lost 1.8 percent and US Airways Group Inc. tumbled 3.7 percent.
Capacity, Fleet
Delta's second-quarter profit excluding some items was $549 million, or 65 cents a share, trailing the 66-cent average projection of 12 analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Revenue advanced 17 percent to $8.17 billion, falling short of the $8.25 billion average of 10 analysts' estimates.
A year earlier, the company posted an adjusted loss of $199 million for the second quarter.
Delta plans to reduce its fleet by 20 aircraft in 2011, on top of eliminating 90 planes from the fleet this year, Chief Executive Officer Richard Anderson said on a call with analysts and investors. That includes some 50-seat regional jets with leases that are expiring as well as Saab 340 turboprops and DC-9s, said Betsy Talton, a spokeswoman.
Delta had 966 planes as of March, and owned 673 of them while leasing the rest.
Delta said total capacity would be unchanged or rise as much as 2 percent in the current quarter, and advance as much as 7 percent in the final quarter of the year.
President Ed Bastian called the fourth-quarter figure an "anomaly," citing a higher-than-usual capacity reduction a year earlier related to the H1N1 flu and the recession.
Capacity in 2011 will increase 1 percent to 3 percent, Bastian said.

I love this makeup! The colors are absolutely beautiful and neutral...excellent for olive skin. I am between a MAC NC 42-44 for reference. In the winter I purchased Syracuse in Sheer Glow; now since I am tanning I wear Tahoe and it perfect too!
I love the finish not too matte not too dewy/shiny. I have very dry skin that is more normal now thanks to Cerave moisturizer so this formula is perfect for my skin. It lasts ALL day from 6:30 a.m. til midnight I love it! This is definitely HG makeup. Nothing is more perfect.

I thought this foundation was going to be a product that got great reviews, but when i bought it, i didnt see what all the fuss was about.
But i was wrong
i love this foundation, i think its my new HG foundation! Its so sheer and light but yet covers all of my blemishes with only using a pea size amount, it is expensive at £29, but i only need very little each time so i think it will last me a long time. However having no pump i thought was silly when they have one on the testers.
Oh and people probaly didn't make the same mistake as me, but i previously was using Revlon Colourstay which is a very thick foundation and when you tip the bottle to get some out you have to wait for a good few seconds before the thick product runs out, Sheer glow is very light and runny, i tipped it like i would my colorstay and spilt so much!! i had to try and pour most of it back in, quite annoying as it was the first day i had it!

Dont like this product. Color selection was ok. Im NC15 and used Gobi which looked a bit pale. Mont Blanc looked gorgeous but it was a bit organgey. Broke me out, not horrible but like a rash and a few tiny bumps. Its very hard to spread, drys quickly and isnt the best for dry skin.

I love this foundation! It isn't too dewy and it isn't matte it is the perfect balance of both! It provides great natural looking coverage that makes my skin look totally flawless even on my worst breakout days. I was worried at first that I wouldn't find a perfect match because I rarely get a perfect color match but I found a shade (Santa Fe) that was perfect for my summer skin (I always tan in the summer). In Mac I am usually about a NC20-25, sometimes 30 if I am lifeguarding. I have quite sensitive skin and this foundation doesn't break me out whatsoever. The only real complaint I have is the lack of a pump. I hate not having a pump because I don't like wasting product. Despite that minor set back I can't rave enough about Nars Sheer Glow foundation! Don't hesitate to give it a try.

I'm an NC35 in MAC and have combination skin. I bought this foundation in "Stromboli" from the NARS website. I was a little skeptical at first because I thought it would make me look more shiny but it actually doesn't. It gives you a dewy glow. I'll use a touchup powder 2x a day only on my T-zones. It has a lasting staying power and feels VERY light. This is my HG foundation! =) Worth the price because you really don't need that much product!

This is an okay foundation, it isn't anything special, but nothing terrible either. It applies smoothly to my skin, stays put for most of the day, and evens out my skin tone pretty well. The colour is pretty nice, I have it in the palest shade "Siberia" and it matches my skin pretty well, though it isn't exactly "neutral" as it claims to be. It definitely leans toward the yellow side but that isn't a huge problem for me. Pale is pale in my case! I probably won't be running to Sephora to repurchase this when it runs out, as there are plenty of other foundations that I adore more than this one at a fraction of the price, but I will probably be able to finish the bottle I have without much trouble. :)

The color match was almost perfect for my skin. I'm an NC-30-35 and bought NARS Sheer Glow in Punjab. I just wish the formula would've worked on my dry skin. The foundation seemed to enhance the dryness.

I just bought this the other day and I love it! I bought this at the sephora store and I got it in Barcelona. The sales girl helped me choose the right shade and tried it on half of my face. This foundation is a semi matte finish which is nice for us combo/oily skin girls. This foundation does not feel thick or heavy it feels light. I loved how it looked and decided to buy it. This was in the morning so I went through the day running errands and when I got hoe in the evening I compared the half of my face where the NARS was applied and the other half where my regular foundation was applied. The regular side of my face had gotten oily as usual since I have combination skin and the side where the NARS was placed had this sheen to it not oily but just a nice glow and it didn't look worn out, I just loved it. My only con to this product was the price and packaging. This should really have a pump I mean they send the testers at sephora with a pump why not the actual product! The price is a little high but I'd rather pay for something I love and is good on my face than to pay less for something that's just ok.
UPDATE: I've been using this foundation for about two months and I still love it! I will say this goes on better with a brush than with a sponge. A sponge will just suck up all the foundation and for the price of this one you definitely don't want that. I would recommend the mac 109 brush or the sephora 35 brush. The only thing is that the mac 109 sheds.

Yes, I would buy this product again, in hopes that one day it might adhere to my skin for more than three hours. I love the way this foundation looks on my skin in the morning. It is so beautiful, and I can completely see how other people would find this to be their HG. But as I have oily skin this foundation only lasted a few hours until it was just completely gone. I have no idea where it goes, but it's gone. I can touch up and it looks good, but my 'touch up' means applying another layer of foundation, which I'm not really interested in doing every day. I need something a little more long lasting. But I do truly love the texture and feel it gives my skin. I use Chanel's Hydra + Active serum and then Clinique's spot corrector serum and then NARS primer. If I don't use NARS primer, I can pretty much forget about wearing this foundation. With the primer, it's a dream come true. If only for a couple of hours. Reference: Punjab Mac NC 25

I was very hesitant to get this because of the price..WOW! I used to use high end brands a long time ago then i was into drugstore foundation..my fave drugstore foundation is the colorstay foundation but i was very very very interested on getting this foundation because of all the hype on YT and even the reviews on here..finally got it in the shade Syracuse (I'm an NC40/42). This was a perfect match! LOVE THIS FOUNDATION it's worth every penny!!! It leaves my skin looking dewey and it feels so soft and it just looks AMAZING!!!!

Screenland Brand Lab: 24-hour Hackathon
Screenland Theatres
Saturday, March 23, 2013 at 10:00 AM - Sunday, March 24, 2013 at 12:00 PM (CDT)
For more info: brandlabkc.com or follow us on twitter: @scrnlandpopcorn
When & Where: Saturday, 3/23 (9am Registration) at Screenland Armour
Aaron Draplin of Draplin Design Company (Portland, OR) will now be joining BrandLab as an All-Star Guest Judge and Speaker.
Aaron has been called one of the top designers of our generation. ESPN has even deemed him snowboarding's most recognized (and imitated) designer. His client list includes companies like Nike, Target, Coal Headwear, Union Binding Co, Esquire, Wired, Timberline, Red Wing, Incase, Ford Motor Co., and even the Obama Administration. Yes, that's right. Aaron helped design the stimulus logo that you've probably seen a time or two posted on highway signs. Aaron is also the creator of Field Notes (fieldnotesbrand.com). He travels the country and speaks regularly. Aaron's talks are inspiring and insanely uncensored. We are lucky to have him on board.
UPDATE - Danny O'Neill to Speak at Brand Lab:
We're excited to announce that Danny O'Neill, founder of The Roasterie, will be our guest speaker on Saturday, 3/23. Danny is no stranger to the startup scene. He picked his first batch of coffee beans while studying abroad in Costa Rica in 1978. It was then that he fell in love with the country, the people and of course, the coffee. Fifteen years later, Danny founded The Roasterie in the basement of his home. This year, The Roasterie will celebrate its 20th Anniversary as a Kansas City startup.
What is Brand Lab?
Brand Lab is a partnership that aims to take the hackathon concept and apply it directly to businesses in our community. Our main goal is to connect local business with local talent to create a local brand...in only 24 hours. Businesses will receive direct access to local creatives. Participants will get the chance to work on a real case study while showing off their skills and competing for cash and other prizes.
Brand Lab: Screenland
Screenland Theatres is our first Brand Lab project. The purpose of this event is to help build a great local brand for "Screenland's Famous Popcorn," new gourmet popcorn that will launch in Kansas City later this year. Screenland's goal is to sell their gourmet popcorn throughout the year during the corporate / gift-giving seasons.
Who Should Sign Up?
We are looking for local creative talent to participate in our 24-hour competition. Participation is open to graphic designers, developers, marketing, social media, creatives, artists, students, and geeks alike. From logo design to packaging, marketing to website, mobile app to social media strategy, we are looking for the best ideas to help Screenland launch the next generation of popcorn.
Why Am I Paying $15 To Work on Somone Else's Brand?
$15 is one of the lowest fees you'll find for a hackathon. More than anything, the entry fee and RSVP help us to determine who is serious and who we can count on to show up so that we can plan accordingly for food and other resources. Every participant will also receive 2 tickets to Screenland valid for future use ($16 value). We also plan to feed you, provide beverages, and an awesome working environment where you'll have access to experienced mentors. We're even going to take an evening movie break and let you snack on warm cookies later in the evening. Last but not least, did we mention the prizes? See below.
Who Owns What?
Questions have been asked regarding ownership. For specific questions, please email the organizers at info[at]brandlabkc[dot]com.

Josh Selby is a lottery talent
On Thursday, I wrote Part 1 of my impressions from my time with Impact Basketball in Las Vegas. Here are five more thoughts from Sin City:
1. Josh Selby is a lottery talent
Last year I was wowed by the play of Avery Bradley and Lance Stephenson at Impact. Both Bradley and Stephenson were high school phenoms and lottery-type talents who struggled as college freshmen in their respective programs.
This year Impact has a similar player -- Kansas Jayhawks guard Josh Selby. Like Stephenson, he was considered one of the top five high school players in the country. Like Stephenson, he really struggled as a freshman. And like Stephenson, NBA teams have questions about his character.
Selby was, in a word, awesome in the workouts I saw in Vegas. At Kansas, Selby looked wild, out of control and oddly unathletic. He struggled to create space from himself and made a number of bad decisions with the ball and in his shot selection.
In Vegas he once again resembled the superstar we saw in high school. He was explosive athletically, got to the basket at will and shot the ball very well from range.
In 3-on-3 games, the UCLA Bruins' Malcolm Lee -- a terrific perimeter defender -- struggled to stay in front of Selby, who finished above the rim with a number of impressive dunks. Selby showed off an impressive floater and has the ability to create space with his crossover and then step back and nail the J. He really resembled Golden State Warriors guard Monta Ellis.
So how could Selby be so good here and so mediocre at Kansas? ESPN Insider David Thorpe had an excellent post concerning Selby in late January that sums up the thinking from a scout's perspective.
To read more about Josh Selby's draft potential, as well as Chad Ford's analysis of Alec Burks, Isaiah Thomas and other prospects, you must be an ESPN Insider.

The invention relates to a method of checking the coating of a metal surface, in which the surface to be checked is exposed to electro-magnetic radiation and the amount of reflected radiation is measured and compared with the amount incident to the surface exposed.
The invention also relates to a device for carrying out such method.
1. Apparatus for checking the presence of discontinuities in the coating of a metal surface, which comprises emitting means for emitting electro-magnetic radiation onto the coated surface whose wavelength spectrum includes wavelengths for which the coating is highly absorptive as well as wavelengths for which the coating is only slightly absorptive, first monitoring means for receiving electro-magnetic radiation reflected from said coated metal surface and for producing an output signal whose value increases as the intensity of reflected radiation impinging thereon increases, first filter means for allowing substantially only that reflected radiation which corresponds to the wavelengths for which the coating is highly absorptive to impinge upon said first monitoring means, second monitoring means for receiving electro-magnetic radiation emitted by said emitting means and for producing an output signal whose value increases as the intensity of radiation impinging thereon increases, and second filter means for allowing substantially only radiation emitted by the emitter means which corresponds to the wavelengths for which the coating is highly absorptive to impinge upon said second monitoring means, whereby the difference between the values of said output signals indicates the presence of discontinuities of said coating, and a radiation-opaque mounting plate having one face directed toward said coated surface and an opposite face directed toward said emitting means, said first monitoring means being mounted on said one face and said second monitoring means being mounted on said opposite face.
2. Apparatus as defined in claim 1 wherein said mounting plate is made of metal having high thermal conductivity whereby said first and second monitoring means are thermally coupled.
3. Apparatus as defined in claim 2 including aperture window means for adjusting the intensity of radiation impinging upon said second monitoring means through said second filter means to establish a reference value corresponding to the output of the second monitoring means and the output signal of said first monitoring means for the case in which an uncoated metal surface is being checked.
The invention relates to a method of checking the coating of a metal surface.
A method of checking the coating of metal containers and a device for carrying out the same are known. In the technology hitherto known the inner wall of said metal containers has been provided with a double coating. The purpose of such a double coating is to provide the certainty of a complete coating of the surface. However, the use of a double coating instead of a single one has the disadvantage that the second coating has to be applied in a separate run, which involves an increase in costs, whilst in addition more material has to be used for the coating. It is, therefore, obvious that the use of a single coating rather than a double one can bring about considerable saving. On the other hand, however, when applying a single coating defects or disturbances of the device employed for applying the coating may result in impermissible deterioration of the product.
With regard to the foregoing, in checking the coating of metal containers, it is not sufficient, in contrast to what has hitherto been common practice, to carry out random checks, on the contrary all containers have to be checked after the application of the coating.
In connection with the above the invention has for its object to provide a method and a device by which, in general in a highly reliable manner and in particular at a high rate, all metal objects successively emanating from a production line can be checked with regard to the properties of a coating applied thereto.
To this end the invention proposes a method of the kind set forth in the preamble, in which the surface to be checked is exposed to electro-magnetic radiation and the amount of reflected radiation is measured and compared with the amount incident to the surface exposed. Preferably the method embodying the invention is characterized in that two monitoring members are employed, one of which receives radiation directly and the other via the surface to be checked and in that the output signals of the monitoring members are compared with one another.
Very satisfactory results are obtained when the surface to be checked is exposed to radiation which the coating is capable of absorbing to an appreciable extent.
According to the invention it is preferred to use a method in which the coating is formed by a transparent lacquer and the wavelength spectrum of the electro-magnetic radiation mainly extends solely below 350 nm.
A device for carrying out the method embodying the invention may be characterized by a source of radiation, a monitoring member for measuring the radiation reflected by the surface to be checked and means for comparing the output signal of said monitoring member with a second signal representative of the amount of radiation incident to the surface. There may be provided, for example, a second monitoring member for measuring the amount of radiation dispensed by the radiation source and the dispension of said second signal.
A preferred embodiment of the device in accordance with the invention comprises transport means for successively passing the objects having a surface to be checked along the radiation source and an ejecting member coupled for control with the comparing means.
In order to ensure the finest possible discrimination the device embodying the invention may comprise a filter arranged between the radiation source and the surface to be checked, said filter, whilst passing the wave range to be used, suppressing to a considerable extent further wavelengths of the radiation emitted by the source and any interfering radiation. In this way optimum adaptability of the wavelength(s) used to the absorptive properties of the coating is ensured.
The radiation source may comprise at least one and preferably three gas discharge tubes connected each to a different phase of a threephase mains. Such a three-phase circuitry provides an excellent uniformity of the emitted radiation, whilst nevertheless all three gas discharge tubes are fed by alternating current, which is highly conducive to the lifetime.
The or each gas discharge tube may be filled, for example, with hydrogen, xenon or mercury vapour. In the latter case the aforesaid filter may be designed to suppress wavelengths exceeding 253.7 nm. In such a configuration it is ensured that the important mercury line of 253.7 nm, for which particularly transparent lacquer exhibits a high absorptive power, can operate most effectively without the risk of erroneous fault indications due to the presence of spectral components for which the lacquer has less high an absorptive power.
In the case mentioned above in which two monitoring members are used i.e. one for measuring the radiation reflected by the surface to be checked and one for measuring the amount of radiation incident to said surface, the two monitoring members are preferably thermally coupled. In this way a satisfactory constance of an approval/disapproval criterion is ensured even for a long time. For the thermal coupling there may be used a copper plate on both sides of which the monitoring members are arranged.
Preferably the position of at least the first monitoring member is adjustable, since balancing between the sensitivity to radiation emanating, for example, from the bottom of the metal container and the radiation emanating from the cylindrical wall of the container may thus be obtained.
The invention will now be described more fully with reference to a drawing which shows inter alia a random embodiment for checking the internal coating of a metal container. The drawing shows in
FIG. 1 a fragmentary perspective view of a device embodying the invention,
FIG. 2 a cross-sectional view of a detail of the device embodying the invention,
FIG. 3 a graph in which the reflection coefficient of a transparent lacquer layer and that of an untreated metal are plotted against the wavelength of the radiation employed,
FIG. 4 is a view illustrating the electrical supply to the gas tubes, and
FIG. 5 is a diagrammatic view of the connection of the two monitors to the measuring/comparing means.
FIG. 1 shows a transport device 1 for tinned-iron containers, one of which is designated by reference numeral 2. The transport device 1 comprises a conveyor belt 3, a magnetic strip 4 and guide strips 5, 6. The transport direction is indicated by an arrow 7.
The housing 8 comprises below a reflector 9 three tubular mercury vapour lamps 10, 11, 12 producing grosso modo a radiation in the direction indicated by the arrows 13.
A portion of the radiation emitted by the lamps 10, 11, 12 is incident through a quartz window 14 to the interior of the container 2. The radiation reflected from the interior of the container 2 indicated by the arrows 25 is incident through the quartz window 14 and a first bandpass filter 15 to a first monitoring member 17 arranged on a copper plate 16.
A further portion of the radiation passes through an aperture adjusting plate 18 and a second bandpass filter 19 and then strikes a second monitoring member 20 arranged on the other side of the copper plate 16.
The mercury vapour lamps 10, 11, 12 emit a radiation having a line spectrum in which by a correct choice of the pressure of the mercury vapour the line of a wavelength 253.7 nm is very strongly represented. The bandpass filters 15 and 19 are designed for suppressing spectral components of larger wavelength.
The aperture adjusting plate 18 serves for optimally balancing the "reference value" corresponding to the output signal of the second monitoring member 20 and the output signal of the first monitoring member 17 for the case in which an untreated tin is checked.
It should be noted that in FIG. 2 the last-mentioned details of the arrangement are more clearly apparent than in FIG. 1.
For checking the presence and the correct position of a container 2 to be checked two detection members 26, 27 are provided. The detection member 26 is located, as shown viewed in the transport direction 7, in front of and on a higher level than the detection member 27. Owing to the difference in height between the members 26 and 27 it is possible to detect any container toppled over. By the displacement in the longitudinal direction the speed of the passing container 2 can be assessed. By means not shown and on the basis of these data an expeller 28 shown schematically can be actuated at the correct instant for conducting away a disapproved container, by the displacement of a plunger 30 in the direction of the arrow 29, through an opening 31 in a sidewall 32 via a gutter 33 in the direction indicated by the arrow 34.
Not only by the signals from the detection members 26 and 27 but also on the basis of the signals emanating from the monitoring members 17 and 20 being indicative of the presence of the coating the expeller 28 is actuated. Said two monitoring members are coupled with means for comparing the output signals of the two members. If it is found by the comparison by the means (not shown) that the output signal of the first monitoring member 17 has too high a value which corresponds to an inadequate coating of the container 2, the expeller 28 receives an energizing signal after a period of time determined by the longitudinal distance between the detection members 26 and 27 so that the disapproved container is expelled through the gutter 33.
Approved containers pass by a third detection member 35, which may serve to count the number of approved containers.
It is noted that the conveyor belt 3 is guided in a channel 36 of a block 37. The housing 8 as well as the detection members 26, 27, 35, the expeller 28 and the guide strips 5 and 6 are fastened to a rear wall 38.
FIG. 3 shows by a solid curve the reflection coefficient expressed in a percentage of a transparent lacquer as a function of the wavelength of the incident radiation. The broken curve indicates the reflection coefficient of an untreated surface. From the solid curve it is clearly apparent that the absorption for wavelengths below 350 nm has a considerable value: the reflection coefficient is appreciably lower than 100%. From the graph it is evident that in the ideal case a wavelength of about 270 nm should be used. Mercury vapour discharge tubes emit a radiation having a line of 253.7 nm. The graph shows that for this wavelength the reflection coefficient is also very low, that is to say, about 17%. For this reason it is preferred to use mercury vapour lamps in which the mercury vapour pressure is chosen so that said spectral line has an optimum relative intensity. Such lamps are commercially available as germicide lamps.
FIG. 3 indicates by way of example by an arrow 39 a threshold value, at the transgression of which a fault is announced to the expeller 28. The threshold value is chosen here to be about 25%.
It should be noted that in the wavelength range below 350 nm the reflection of untreated metal surfaces is substantially 100%.
It will be obvious that the mode of processing the signals from the monitoring members and the detection members may be chosen at will. It may be imagined, for example, to use a micro-computer. In the latter case the memory space of the micro-computer may be used for collecting the data of one day, a production series or the like, whilst moreover a classification of reflection levels may be made, on the basis of which for example, the threshold value 39 can be adapted.
It is furthermore noted that other transport means than those shown in FIG. 1 may be employed. If aluminium tins are used a sufficiently rough conveyor belt may be used, whilst the tins are held in place by gravity.
Obviously, many variants are lying within the scope of the invention.
