New vaccination law remains controversial
Gov. Jerry Brown's signing of a law mandating routine vaccinations for most children enrolling in schools has not settled the controversy over childhood immunizations.
The governor on Tuesday signed SB 277 into law effective July 1, 2016. It eliminates the personal or religious belief exemptions that currently allow students to forgo shots that protect against communicable diseases.
Now, only students abstaining for medical reasons with a doctor's approval will be able to avoid vaccinations prior to entering public or private school for the first time or in

e) means for accepting requirements from the application for further refinement of location and position; and
f) means for directing and configuring the various location and positioning systems to carry out further actions to locate the desired target object.
This application claims benefit to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/520,846, titled "METHOD OF IMPROVING LOCATION ACCURACY, ACHIEVING SEAMLESS TRACKING AND ENABLING NOVEL APPLICATIONS USING INFORMATION FROM MULTIPLE LOCAITON AND POSITIONING TECHNOLOGIES", filed on Nov. 18, 2003, and listing Binay Sugla as the inventor. That application is expressly incorporated herein by reference. The scope of the present invention is not limited to any requirements of the specific embodiments in that application.
�1.1 Field of the Invention
The present invention concerns determining a location or position. In particular, the present invention concerns avoiding problems of various individual location and positioning technologies to generate an improved location or position, as well as uses of such an improved location or position.
�1.2 Background Information
Over the last few decades, interest in locating and tracking objects has exploded. Radar and related technologies have been around for a long time. With radar, an object is tracked using electromagnetic radiation reflected by an uncooperative object. A number of location technologies have been developed including global positioning satellite (GPS), triangulation, "radio camera," angle of arrival, time of arrival, time difference of arrival and phase difference of arrival, and power signature. Each of the foregoing location technologies are designed to work under certain assumptions and satisfy a certain set of needs of the end user. Unfortunately, each of the individual location technologies has shortcomings, some of which are introduced below.
For example, radio frequency based location technologies use various licensed and unlicensed frequency bands, may require the existence of a line-of-sight path between receivers and the tracked object(s), may require the availability of battery powered (active) tags or passive tags, and may be accurate anywhere from a few inches to tens of meters. As another example, at least some of these technologies may require non-interference from other spectrum users, a willingness to manually calibrate the entire positioning area and system, and an affordability to pay for the tags whose costs range from a few cents to a few hundred dollars.
As another example, Wi-Fi, 3G and various location technologies employing sonar, radar, proximity devices that use capacity, inductance, etc., assume the presence of various wireless networking infrastructure,
Some technologies such as GPS work well outdoors, but not so well indoors (because multi-path may occur due to reflections and diffractions in an indoor environment). Conversely, other technologies, such as Wi-Fi-based (IEEE 802.11) location technologies work well indoors, but not so well outdoors (because they require that a network of receivers be placed wherever the objects of interest may reside).
Line-of-sight location technologies can be affected by environment (e.g., air, rubble, metal, buildings, etc.) between receivers and an object of interest, and may require a priori knowledge of such environment. Therefore time-of-arrival based systems need to find a way to account for non-line-of-sight paths as they interfere with accurate time estimates, thereby impacting the accuracy.
In view of the foregoing limits of current individual location technologies, it would be useful to provide methods and apparatus for generating improved (e.g., more accurate, less expensive, more versatile) location determination, particularly one that works in both indoor and outdoor environments.
Embodiments consistent with the present invention use location information from multiple sources of location information using different location technologies to determine a final location. At least some embodiments consistent with the present invention may use location model information (e.g., parameters, such as error and probability distribution models) in this determination. At least some embodiments consistent with the present invention may use application context information in this determination.
At least some embodiments consistent with the present invention may use the final location to:
enable object and environment safety by triggering alarms when an object moves into a unsafe area, or when an undesirable object moves into a safe area;
modify the applications and services that the located object is entitled to by virtue of its location;
correlate and associate with another object(s) whose location is determined/known and triggering a series of user specified actions; or
enable a set of business rules that predict and explain the behavior of the object.
Other applications using the final location in a manner consistent with the present invention are possible.
At least some embodiments consistent with the present invention may correlate and associate particular objects with particular locations.
The present invention may involve novel methods, apparatus, message formats, and/or data structures for determining a final location using location information from multiple sources of location information using different location technologies. The following description is presented to enable one skilled in the art to make and use the invention, and is provided in the context of particular applications and their requirements. Thus, the following description of embodiments consistent with the present invention provides illustration and description, but is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the precise form disclosed. Various modifications to the disclosed embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles set forth below may be applied to other embodiments and applications. For example, although a series of acts may be described with reference to a flow diagram, the order of acts may differ in other implementations when the performance of one act is not dependent on the completion of another act. Further, non-dependent acts may be performed in parallel. No element, act or instruction used in the description should be construed as critical or essential to the present invention unless explicitly described as such. Also, as used herein, the article "a" is intended to include one or more items. Where only one item is intended, the term "one" or similar language is used. Thus, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown and the inventors regard their invention as any patentable subject matter described
In the following, exemplary embodiments consistent with the present invention are described in �4.1. Thereafter, a number of applications consistent with the present invention is provided in �4.2. Finally, some conclusions regarding the present invention are set forth in �4.3.
In the following, the terms "location" and "position" may be used interchangeably, and each term is intended to be given its broadest reasonable interpretation.
�4.1 Exemplary Embodiments
Still referring to
The location model information/parameters 116 may include error and probability distribution models 118. For example, due to non-line-of-sight conditions, a time of arrival based system might not be able to locate the object of interest on the right floor of a multi-floor building. However, once the floor of the object is known, such a system can determine the location of the object to a higher degree of accuracy. In this example, if an RFID system was deployed between floors, it could pinpoint the floor (but not the exact location), thereby greatly increasing the accuracy of the overall system.
Application program interface (API) operations 122 may be used to load and/or modify the application context information 120. Model update operations 124 may use at least some of the application context information 120 to generate and/or modify location model information/parameters 116. The application context information 120 may include information to modify certain location information (e.g., weight such information more or less) depending on the particular application. For example, if an object is known to travel at a certain maximum speed, the last known location at a known time can be used as a reasonably good indicator of the current possible region where the object could be. Similarly, if it is known that a certain location area represents a maintenance wing and maintenance takes twelve hours, the location of the object can be predicted or narrowed for that time period.
The location mixing operations 114 may request (further) information from one or more location determination operations 140, or may control one or more such operations 140, via interface operations 112. For example, control commands 150 may include one or more of interrogating the object to determine its location, increasing the number of receivers employed in locating the object, altering the parameters of the location system to help determine the location of the object (e.g., antenna orientation of the receivers), and sending a command to a location tag attached to the object to "wake up" or increase its transmission power. Other control commands are possible.
Location determination operations 140 may include various location determination facilities such as GPS-based, WiFi-based, RF-based, proximity-based, triangulation-based, radio camera, time difference of arrival-based, phase difference of arrival based, inertial-based, doppler-based, optics-based and sonar-based.
The location information 160 may include location information in terms of latitude, longitude, altitude, on-facility (e.g., building, room, base, campus, property, etc.), off-facility, on-floor, off-floor, distance, angle, position relative to another object whose location is known, etc.). The location information may also include error range information (e.g., �distance), confidence, time of measurement, probability distribution of location, and state of the object.
�4.1.1 Exemplary Methods
After the location information has been adjusted, some of the information may be filtered out. (Block 260) In any event, adjusted locations are combined to generate a final location (Block 270) before the method 200 is left (Node 280).
Referring back to block 230, location information may be adjusted in various ways. For example, given the probability distributions, one or more of various mathematical functions of addition, multiplication, convolution, discrete logic operations, etc., could be applied. As another example, as shown in
Referring back to block 260, location information may be filtered in various ways. For example, only location information above a certain probability may be accepted and a number of other thresholds could be used as well.
Referring back to block 270, location information may be combined in various ways. For example, the adjusted (e.g., weighted) locations may simply be averaged. As another example, outliers could be pruned and the mode could be selected.
�4.1.2 Exemplary Architectures
With regard to module 410, each location and positioning technology may have an error distribution model and position distribution model associated with it. For example, a position system may output a location as (X,Y,Z) coordinates, with an ambiguity of 5 m with probability 0.9. In general, a position system could have a series of locations with varying degrees of accuracy and probability of correctness.
With regard to module 420, the various location and positioning systems may be combined using a unified model.
With regard to module 430, using the current estimated information about position and location, control commands to various positioning systems may be issued. Such control commands may be used instruct the system(s) to either make more measurements or devote more resources to the measurements where possible. They may also be used to request additional information, or reset a baseline position for example.
With regard to module 440, based on the applications, a certain amount of contextual information may be available that helps in location and positioning. For example, if the person is known to be in a building, then position information that fixes the location outside the building may be either flagged as an anomaly or discarded.
Still referring to
The applications 570 may use push or pull technology. Thus, for example, they 570 can either register listeners in the case of push, or query the coordinator 510 in the case of pull. In this scenario, the location system can be designed such that objects report their location periodically and/or the system can interrogate the objects to determine their location.
�4.1.3 Exemplary Apparatus
The one or more processors 610 may execute machine-executable instructions (e.g., C or C++ running on the Solaris operating system available from Sun Microsystems Inc. of Palo Alto, Calif., the Linux operating system widely available from a number of vendors such as Red Hat, Inc. of Durham, N.C., Java, assembly, Perl, etc.) to effect one or more aspects of the present invention. At least a portion of the machine-executable instructions may be stored (temporarily or more permanently) on the one or more storage devices 620 and/or may be received from an external source via one or more input interface units 630.
In one embodiment, the machine 600 may be one or more conventional personal computers, mobile telephones, PDAs, etc. In the case of a conventional personal computer, the processing units 610 may be one or more microprocessors. The bus 640 may include a system bus. The storage devices 620 may include system memory, such as read only memory (ROM) and/or random access memory (RAM). The storage devices 620 may also include a hard disk drive for reading from and writing to a hard disk, a magnetic disk drive for reading from or writing to a (e.g., removable) magnetic disk, and an optical disk drive for reading from or writing to a removable (magneto-) optical disk such as a compact disk or other (magneto-) optical media, etc.
A user may enter commands and information into the personal computer through input devices 632, such as a keyboard and pointing device (e.g., a mouse) for example. Other input devices such as a microphone, a joystick, a game pad, a satellite dish, a scanner, or the like, may also (or alternatively) be included. These and other input devices are often connected to the processing unit(s) 610 through an appropriate interface 630 coupled to the system bus 640. The output devices 634 may include a monitor or other type of display device, which may also be connected to the system bus 640 via an appropriate interface. In addition to (or instead of) the monitor, the personal computer may include other (peripheral) output devices (not shown), such as speakers and printers for example.
�4.1.4 Refinements and Alternatives
One possible method of refining the components of
�4.2 Exemplary Applications
Various applications may need to track one or more objects that: (i) need to be tracked with different accuracies (e.g., a small object to less than a foot, a large object within a few feet); (ii) are expensive and need to be tracked reliably thereby justifying higher costs of the tag (e.g. an expensive medical equipment costing tens of thousands of dollars justifies a $100 tag, while a book may justify a $0.10 tag); (iii) move both indoors and outdoors (e.g., a person walking in and out of a building); (iv) may move into a restricted area where certain location technologies can not be used; and/or (v) need far more accuracy that can be delivered by one technology alone, or which becomes cost prohibitive when using a single location technology.
The following includes a number of exemplary applications that can use a final location, such as that 180 of
�4.2.1 Improved Accuracy E911 Service
Current approaches to E911 service typically employ either GPS or various service provider network-based techniques (e.g., triangulation from base stations, time difference of arrival, and beacon based approaches). Given the increasing prevalence of Wi-Fi like technologies, embodiments consistent with the present invention can be used to increase the accuracy of location by employing a mix of E911 and/or Wi-Fi based positioning technologies.
Embodiments consistent with the present invention may improve location determination in such a context as follows. The person with the cell phone is located and cellular area 720 is identified. The Wi-Fi device uses the W-Fi network to report his/her location area 730 to the MPLC which may be running anywhere in the network. The MLPC can then compute the person's location as being at the intersection of areas 720 and 730—namely, area 750.
The present invention may be used in the context of an environment like that of
�4.2.2 Achieving Seamless Location and Positioning
Embodiments consistent with the present invention may be used to enable seamless location and positioning, such as in instances where an object of interest moves from one coverage area to another, and/or in instances where one location determination system falters while another is still available.
In FIG. 8,850 represents a building where E-911 technologies like triangulation (see cellular base stations 860), or even GPS may fail to work (because these technologies presently require line of sight to function). In this example, embodiments consistent with the present invention may provide a continuous tracking of the person 810 as they enter the building 850 from the outdoors 820. For example, an exemplary procedure consistent with the present invention may operate as follows:
The person 810 is located initially by the cellular base stations 860, and this location may be reported to MLPC. Using the location information, MLPC may query the building 850 and the Wi-Fi networks in the surrounding area. When the person 810 enters the building 850, the location tracking by the cellular base stations 860 ceases, and a message may be sent to the MLPC. The MLPC may then interrogate the Wi-Fi networks and determine if a media access control (MAC) ID corresponding to the person 810 has been identified. The Wi-Fi network or the positioning server 840 corresponding to the Wi-Fi network can then report to the MLPC that the person 810 has been identified. The MLPC can now use the location information from the Wi-Fi network to continuously track person 810 while they are inside the building.
As can be appreciated from this example, locations from multiple technologies can be used continuously. Alternatively, a "handoff" from one location technology to another may occur. This handoff may occur instantaneously, or gradually, by changing weights of the different technologies. For example, initially, the cellular location may be give a weight of 1, while the Wi-Fi location may be unavailable (or given a weight of 0). The weights can transition instantaneously (e.g., from 0 to 1, and 1 to 0), or more gradually, depending on the scenario.
�4.2.3 Correlation and Association Examples
Embodiments consistent with the present invention may support a number of applications using the function of correlation and association made possible by use of location of multiple objects. Two applications of an exemplary wireless perimeter security service using correlation and association are described below. The first application, described in �220.127.116.11 below, applies to a wireless perimeter problem where it is desired to affect the privileges of a wireless device and person if the wireless device is within or outside certain geographical area. The second application, described in �18.104.22.168 below, relates to the tracking of potential criminals by security agencies using association capabilities provided by embodiments consistent with the present invention.
�18.104.22.168 Wireless Perimeter
A number of previous approaches have proposed to provide wireless perimeter security. Such approaches use location information based on one system using one particular location technology. The previous approaches have flaws and weaknesses which can easily allow a person to fool the location system. For example, more efficient and powerful antennas on the location tags can cause power signature-based location systems, which use strength of signal to determine location, to determine location incorrectly. Similarly, multi-path reflections can cause the angle of arrivals to be misread in systems that use angle of arrival to determine location. In this example, embodiments consistent with the present invention may provide improved wireless perimeter security as follows.
Assume that a wireless device is assigned to one person, and can be used only within a particular building. An example of this is wireless devices used by stock traders inside a stock exchange, where traders are not allowed to use the wireless devices outside of the trading floor. The location of the trader may be tracked independently of the wireless device (e.g., via use of RF IDs, and/or proximity devices, and/or a badge which needs to be swiped every time the trader leaves or enters the building). The location of the wireless device may be tracked using an indoor location and positioning system (e.g., based on Wi-Fi or any other kind of wireless sensors). Thus, the position of a trader and their wireless device can be independently tracked.
The wireless device can be used to conduct trades only if the locations of the trader and the wireless device are consistent and inside the building. Otherwise, the privileges of the wireless device are turned off. Such enabling or disabling of devices and/or device functionality may be application specific policies (e.g., business rules).
�126.96.36.199 Tracking Criminal Activity
�4.3 Conclusions
As can be appreciated from the foregoing, embodiments consistent with the present invention may deliver one or more of the following advantages: (i) helping to locate objects more accurately and reliably than any single location system; (ii) able to work both indoors and outdoors; (iii) able to workaround spectrum or other restrictions in the environment; (iv) able to intelligently incorporate state (application) information to determine past and present locations, and/or to predict future locations; (v) able to correlate and associate the location information of one or more objects to trigger events; and (vi) enables various safety, security and/or other enterprise policies.

Lieke & Hugo weren't there, but they organized everything and there was no Problem for the Check in or check out.
The Location ist great, the spot is perfect and the boat is so charming we just loved it!
I had the opportunity to stay 6 nights at Hugo's and Lieke's boat.
It has a central location, only 10 mins walking to the Dam Square or the Central Station. This area is also pretty quiet area. On the boat there is a water bed, which contributed positively to the whole boat experience. The internet connection was pretty good and I was able to work from there without interruptions. It has a nice sofa in the living room and TV. Also the living room is connected with the kitchen that has everything you if you want to cook for yourself.
I would definitively recommend the boat as it was fun, central and very comfortable.
A perfect place to be in Amsterdam! Everything was arranged perfectly.
We had a wonderful weekend on the houseboat of Hugo & Lieke. It´s modern but still very cosy. It´s right in the center of Amsterdam and very quiet at the same time. Our welcome was very warm and they handled our arrival & departure extremly flexible. We can absolutely recommend this houseboat.
Very welcoming hosts. Fantastic neighbourhood -- close to everything and yet quiet. Living on a boat a unique experience.
Hi Hugo & Lieke ! Thanks for your kindness. The decoration and the furnitures are very tasty. The place on Jourdan district is perfect. I will come back and recommand. Best regards.
My Husband and I stayed on Hugo & Lieke's houseboat for 2 nights in August 2014. It had a lovely homely feel. It had everything we needed and was in a great location, very close to the centre with easy access to the restaurants, trams and tour boats. We would highly recommend this houseboat to anyone wanting a nice comfortable romantic stay in Amsterdam.

text: Mineral Infused Face Primer is rated 4.1726 out of 5 by 1,709. Rated 5 out of 5 by knipselli from I prefer this over smashbox This stuff is comparible to smashbox primer, I have it in both clear and purple and they are so wonderful, ad for the cost! I can't believe it. Such a steal. Date published: 2015-06-23 Rated 4 out of 5 by beachbum96 from Not too bad for people w/ oily skin When I first apply it to my oily skin it feels greasy but really isn't. My face doesn't have any sort of shine after I apply it which is weird since everything I apply to my skin gets it oily. It does exactly as it says filling in fine lines and other things. Took a chance with my oily skin and it payed off. Date published: 2015-06-23 Rated 5 out of 5 by 1 4 me from Nice product I just tried this product after using so many others. The other products were tossed out. I am going to keep this product. Date published: 2015-06-23 Rated 1 out of 5 by Msdvs from Disappointed I really wanted to like this primer especially since I heard good things but it made my face break out I read it happened to others but I thought it was because they had sensitive skin but I think it's the formula it's does feel really smooth going on Date published: 2015-06-22 Rated 5 out of 5 by kaitlynj325 from $6 WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? Ive used about to bottles of the bare minerals prime time but with tax it came out to $30! whats the point of using expensive primer if it isnt even noticable. I stopped by the E.L.F store on 8th st and picked up this primer. I LOVE IT! It allows everything to be easily applied and makes skin extra soft! Date published: 2015-06-20 Rated 5 out of 5 by PamTwin from Fantastic Best of the best!!!!! Fantastic!! I would recomend this 4 ever Date published: 2015-06-19 Rated 4 out of 5 by KarenB from Great Corrector. Ok primer. I got the purple primer and it definitely helps kind of perk up my face. It does have glittery particles in it, but not big and not very noticeable. (I didn't notice it till the second time I used it.) I don't think it's a great primer though. I mainly use it when I want to use powder foundation to make it stick and stay better and longer, but I don't think it makes it last all day. For the price, I can't really complain. It's super smooth, not shiny or drying or anything. It feels nice on the skin. Date published: 2015-06-18 Rated 5 out of 5 by Higgins from Love it I bought this product at target. I picked it mostly for the color, not gonna lie. It feels really nice on my face and since I wear a surgical mask all day my make up had been coming off my chin, this helps it stay on all day and it does not make my face oily or dry. Yes there is not a lot in the bottle but come on its $6 what more do people want? A year supply for $6, keep dreaming folks! Date published: 2015-06-16 Rated 5 out of 5 by ShelleyG from Excellent, use it every day! I love this product. It gives my face a great feeling. Smooth and soft,and I am over 60! I hope they never stop making this. Date published: 2015-06-14 Rated 5 out of 5 by Happylaura from why pay more As good as the pricier primerWould recomend itDid not feel heavy, greasy on my skin Date published: 2015-06-13 Rated 5 out of 5 by Krista00 from Almost good enough This is my first primer and while it makes my face feel fantastic, I think I would need something a little stronger like the poreless primer which I intend to try. Over all, if you don't need more pore coverage, go for it! Date published: 2015-06-12 Rated 5 out of 5 by Lola33 from Very smooth This is a product I can not live without! Makes putting on make up very easy Date published: 2015-06-12 Rated 5 out of 5 by himom from Feels amazing I just got this primer and I had never liked one enough to use it before. I don't usually wear make up, but in the summer I need something to help my powder stay on even in the NY heat when I meet with clients. This primer is amazing! It keeps my skin feeling incredibly smooth and soft and prevents my powder from going anywhere [even without foundation]. You barely need any at all [1 pump for your entire face] so even using it for work each day, it will last a long time. Date published: 2015-06-12 Rated 5 out of 5 by Alee22CA from Great product I bought this a few weeks ago, its a great product for the price. Date published: 2015-06-11 Rated 4 out of 5 by mjl88 from I purchased this product in clear. I like it. It really helps to keep my makeup last all day. I actually prefer the look to maybeline baby skin but not the feel. I find e.l.f.'s a little greasy but it smooths out my face better. Date published: 2015-06-11 Rated 5 out of 5 by agijon3 from Amazing product! I bought the tone correcting face primer for my graduation and I fell in love with it! It made my foundation last all day without becoming oily, even during a hot evening. If I would use my foundation alone, my face would become oily within an hour or minutes in hot weather. I am definitely planning on buying more. I recommend this product 100%. I have also tried other products from elf such as liquid eyeliner, so I know Elf is amazing and the price is unbelievable! Date published: 2015-06-10 Rated 4 out of 5 by sav1 from Works good but.. It seems to work pretty well, and makes it easier to blend my other makeup. But I'm not a fan of how oily it makes my skin feel, I already have oil problems and I think this makes it worse. Date published: 2015-06-09 Rated 4 out of 5 by Jenny_Hope from Get the clear one All four of those stars are for the Clear formula. I adore what it does for me. Its great at smoothing everything out so that I can start with a good canvas to work with. It has an almost powdered feel as it dries. But it does not dry me out. The last star that I didn't give is because I have also purchased the radiant formula. I cannot use this straight onto my face. It makes me look like Rumpelstiltskin/Mr.Gold from Once Upon A Time. Even with foundation on top I can see the sparkles. If I mix the tiniest bit into my CC cream for the days that I don't want to wear a ton of makeup, it does give me that glow that I like. It is just too intense on its own. Date published: 2015-06-08 Rated 4 out of 5 by arcadiarose from Great primer This is a really great primer, and the price is excellent. It's not quite as good as the best mid-range primers, but it's darn close. My sensitive skin is oily, and this helps my makeup to last at least 12 hours. It also is an effective barrier for keeping foundations from oxidizing. A little goes a long way: I only need 1-2 pumps to do my entire face and neck. It feels smooth going on, and isn't sticky or greasy. It doesn't make my face break out or irritate my sensitive skin. It doesn't really have a scent. The packaging is sturdy, but bulky. It's doesn't fit easily in a purse or makeup bag. I actually think it would have been better in a squeeze tube. It cleans off easily with facial cleanser, soap or makeup wipes. Date published: 2015-06-05 Rated 1 out of 5 by juliette2561 from Made my face break out I bought this product at Target. I had been looking at it for a while, both in store and on the website. I have what I consider semi-sensitive skin, and more on the oily side than dry. I really have never had a major problem with any products, but i also baby my face as well to help make sure that I don't get breakouts from products...however this stuff made my face go haywire for the one week I tried it. Major breakout and left my skin very blotchy at the end of the day. I eventually just gave up and threw it out. Date published: 2015-06-04 Rated 5 out of 5 by Gee Glamour from Amazing products, haven't found anything I do not like!! I've turned to this brand at 100 % Date published: 2015-06-03 Rated 4 out of 5 by Danielle Hemmings from Best Primer for Beginners This primer is excellent, but I do believe there are better primers out there. The texture of the primer is very good, and is a great base for concealer and foundation. This does not leave my face feeling oily, since I do have oily skin. This primer does serve the purpose of being a primer, and having makeup last longer and create a base for the concealer and foundation, but this is not my favorite primer. I would use this for only my lighter days of makeup. Date published: 2015-06-01 Rated 2 out of 5 by billyrosas from I Must say I was so excited to use this product but I had a reaction on my skin it stared to itch a lot and I had red spots on my face so I couldn't realy enjoy it to its fullest.. I was so bumbed out... I would suggest it to other people because not everyone's skin is the same... Date published: 2015-06-01 Rated 5 out of 5 by belovedeve from Great product, terrible container! This is one of my favorite foundation primers. I have tried others mainly because I have been looking for a product that is easier to apply from the bottle. The pump is terrible! Please ELF, sell this same exact product in a better bottle PLEASE! I love it but I can't get to it with this pump! Date published: 2015-05-26 Rated 5 out of 5 by Megan T from Perfect first primer! I've recently begun experimenting with make-up. My first priority was finding a product that would make my make-up last longer, and that would minimize the oily look I had going on near the end of the day. I decided to give this primer a try because of the great price, and it was perfect! The formula feels soft and sleek going on, and it quickly blends. It feels like nothing's there. Putting on my foundation after, I can immediately see the difference and how much more the color pops. Not only that, but my make-up stays looking fresh all day and looks less oily! Highly recommend. Date published: 2015-05-25 Rated 5 out of 5 by Maureen from I got it in radiant glow, and before I ordered the clear one, both worked good but the radiant glow does leave a golden glow in the face that looks quite nice Date published: 2015-05-23 Rated 4 out of 5 by kate22 from This is a miracle primer, a little goes a long way! I used to get bad lines in my makeup after a while around my mouth from smiling and when I use this my makeup stays smooth all day. I do feel like this is one elf product that isn't so great for the price though, the package is misleading about how much product you actually get. At $6 from elf I think we all expect their usual more for less. It's worth the buy though, & it's really no biggie but it annoys me to no end that the lid does NOT stay on. Date published: 2015-05-23 Rated 5 out of 5 by AmberL888 from Leaves my skin feeling AMAZING! I have been using this daily for about a month now, and I am obsessed with it. It leaves my skin feeling even and soft! I apply it before my foundation and it helps everything just glide right on. Definitely will keep purchasing this!

NATPE: Univision Acquires Drama Series About Mexican Drug Lord (Exclusive)
UPDATED: "The Drug Baron" will start airing later this year on the UniMás channel and is being written by a former member of a drug cartel who has become a best-selling author and screenwriter.
Univision has acquired U.S. rights to a dramatic Spanish-language series called The Drug Baron (El Varon de la Droga), The Hollywood Reporter has learned exclusively.
Based on the real-life exploits of the notorious Mexican drug dealer Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzman, the drama is written by a former member of his drug cartel who has become a best-selling author in Latin America.
Univision said it has acquired a minimum of 60 episodes that will air sometime in 2014 on its UniMas channel, which reaches nearly 90 percent of all U.S. homes in which Spanish is the primary language. Univision declined to reveal the name of the production company, the owner of global rights or what they paid. The series hasn't yet been cast.

The screenwriter of the series, Andres Lopez, first started writing while he was serving time in a Miami prison for drug trafficking. After he served 20 months, he walked out in 2004 with the manuscript for his first book, The Cartel of Snitches (El Cartel de los Sapos) which became a best-seller.
That book became a successful movie and later a hit TV series that critics praised for its stark realism and insider's perspective on the workings of the drug cartel. He also wrote a Spanish language series called Mafia Dolls (Las Munecas de la Mafia), which had successful runs in Latin America and on Spanish language TV in the U.S.
Lopez will write the new series based on the real life of Guzman, a Mexican drug lord who is the head of the Sinaloa Cartel. Forbes calls him "the world's most powerful drug trafficker," and estimates his cartel is responsible for a quarter of all illegal drugs that enter the U.S. It places the cartel's annual revenue at over $3 billion a year.
According to Forbes, the city of Chicago branded Guzman the first public enemy number one since Al Capone.
In 2001, Guzman escaped from jail in a laundry cart. Last summer there was a report he had been killed, but that was then discounted; he is now believed to still be hiding in the mountains in Mexico.

"This new series promises to further explore the complicated and extremely dangerous life of a major drug lord, beyond just the 'business' to the toll it takes on his personal life, and those around him, " according to the Univision announcement.
"I'm extremely excited to see 'El Varón de la Droga' being brought to the screen on UniMas," said Lopez. "Their programming strategy of offering cutting-edge, alternative drama fits perfectly with the 'ripped-from-the-headlines' timeliness of my latest work."
The announcement "speaks to our commitment to delivering the best alternative programming in the U.S.," said Alberto Ciurana, Univision Network's president of programming and content. "And by having Andres on board as screenwriter, we will be able to offer our audience an unprecedented experience in terms of authenticity and realism."
