Size-selected TiN nanoclusters in the range of 4 to 20 nm have been produced by an ionized cluster beam, which combines a glow-discharge sputtering with an inert gas condensation technique. With this method, by controlling the experimental conditions, it was possible to produce nanoparticles with a high control in size. The size distribution of TiN nanoparticles was determined before deposition by mass spectroscopy and confirmed by atomic force microscopy. The size distribution was also analyzed using a high-resolution transmission electron micrograph. The photoluminescence [PL] spectra of TiN nanoparticles at different sizes were also experimentally investigated. We reported, for the first time, the strong visible luminescence of TiN nanoparticles on Si (111) wafer due to the reduced size. We also discussed the PL intensity as a function of the nanoparticle size distribution.
Metal nanoparticles 1 to 100 nm in size and 102 to 108 atom aggregates (known as clusters) have demonstrated different physical-chemical properties from their bulk. The reasons for these properties can be attributed to the large portion of surface atoms and quantum size effect, which is caused by the reduced size in three dimensions. When the cluster is very small, the number of atoms at surfaces or grain boundaries is comparable to the number of atoms in the crystalline lattice. Also, with the decrease of the cluster size, the electronic properties start to change. This effect is called the 'quantum confinement effect', which can be observed as a shift in the optical bandgap or exciton energy depending on the nanoparticle diameter. Several investigations have been carried out to study the particle size effects on their physical-chemical properties. A typical example is that the melting temperature of nanoparticles strongly depends on the size and shape and is substantially lower than the bulk melting temperature [1–3]. For nanoscience, the study of size-selected nanocluster is very important to understand the fundamentals of solid physics in a nanometric scale because it is the bridge in the gap between individual atoms and condensed matter.
Metal nanoparticles are used in a broad spectrum of applications such as in biomedicine [4], optoelectronics [5], solar cells [6], and anti-wear coatings [7]. Nowadays, they are involved in many products and applied in several technologies. Most metal nanoparticles' production processes require a precise control of narrow range size. In particular, especial conditions are necessary to produce very small size-selected nanoparticles at an industrial scale [8]. From a technological viewpoint, metal clusters can be regarded as the precursors to a new generation of nanostructured materials and devices. The fabrication of nanoparticles by controlling their size and shape is one of the challenging tasks for nanotechnology.
Among different techniques to obtain nanoparticles, ionized cluster beam deposition [ICBD] has been receiving great attention due to its control of size-selected nanoparticles [9]. The novel technique combines plasma sputtering and gas aggregation to produce nanoclusters from a few atoms to a few thousand atoms. The general setup of this system includes magnetron sputtering, a cluster aggregation zone, a mass filter, and a deposition chamber. Using a magnetron discharge, hot atoms are generated by Ar+ bombardment on the target surface. The atoms are cooled and condensed in a cold inert gas to create the clusters. The cluster size can be controlled by adjusting the sputter yield, gas pressure, volume of the cluster growth region, and bias voltage. A mass filter located along the central axis of the system allows for selection of the cluster size. The clusters are accelerated toward the substrate surface by a bias voltage application. Finally, clusters join together, whether during the flight to the substrate or at the target surface, to form the nanoparticles.
Titanium nitride [TiN] has been generally applied in industrial coatings with high demands on hardness and adhesion as well as high thermal stability and good conductivity [10]. Due to this important feature, TiN has been widely used as a hard and protective coating for cutting tools or in electronic devices. Based on the properties of the bulk materials, TiN nanoparticles are being used as an additive element in protective coatings to enhance the adhesion properties [11] and a catalyst support material for noble metals for application in PEM fuel cells [12]. Several techniques, both chemical vapor deposition and physical vapor deposition, have been used to deposit TiN coatings. However, the industrial production of TiN nanoparticles is still beginning to take its first steps. ICBD is one technique that can be applied to produce TiN nanoparticles [13–16]. The investigation of TiN nanocluster deposition by ICBD can help to improve the production of nanomaterials and to understand their physicochemical properties at a nanoscale.
The fabrication of nanoparticles is an elaborate procedure. The following characterization is a complex but important task. Atomic force microscopy [AFM] and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy [HRTEM] have demonstrated to be powerful techniques to determinate the size of nanoparticles below 10 nm [17, 18]. In addition, photoluminescence [PL] spectroscopy has emerged as an important tool for studying the luminescence of nanoparticles. The origin of such luminescence is often associated to quantum confinement effects in which the position of the PL energy peak depends fundamentally on the nanoparticle size.
In this paper, TiN nanoparticles with a narrow-sized range are deposited on Si (111) substrates at room temperature by ICBD method. The size distribution of the TiN clusters is measured before deposition by mass spectrometry and after by transmission electron microscopy [TEM] and AFM techniques. The crystalline structure of the TiN nanoparticles is further confirmed by the micrograph fast Fourier transform [FFT] analysis. A statistical detailed analysis of the TiN nanoparticle size distribution as a function of bias voltage is performed by HRTEM. The PL spectra of TiN nanoparticles at different sizes are also investigated experimentally. We reported for the first time, the strong visible luminescence of TiN nanoparticles on Si (111) wafer due to the reduced size.
Once the size clusters are selected by the MesoQ mass filter, they are accelerated by applying a bias voltage (Vb) to a substrate in a high vacuum with a base pressure of 10-8 Torr. The nanoparticles were deposited onto silicon wafer. The substrates were cleaned in successive ultrasonic baths of acetone and isopropyl alcohol. The depositions were performed at room temperature without any heating and were applied different bias voltages (3 and 6 kV). The nanoparticle size was controlled by regulating the magnetron power, gas flow (Ar and N2), and aggregation zone length. These parameters were varied to produce particles of different sizes onto the substrate.
The size distribution and morphological characterization were performed by AFM analysis, using a (Veeco Instruments Inc., Plainview, NY, USA) multimode scanning probe microscope in hard tapping mode. The sample surface was scanned at 1 Hz and within 1 μm2. The Image Processing and Data Analysis software (Version 2.1.15) by TM Microscope (Camarillo, CA, USA) was used for image analysis.
For TEM characterizations, TiN nanoparticles were grown on copper grids. Samples were characterized by HRTEM using a 300-kV FEI Titan 80-300 STEM/TEM microscope (FEI Co., Hillsboro, OR, USA). The HRTEM images were used to study the TiN crystalline structure by micrograph FFT analysis. A detailed statistical analysis of TiN nanoparticles after deposition was performed by measuring several hundreds of nanoparticles using the HRTEM micrographs. The size distribution, the nearest neighbor distance (dNN), and the covered area on the surface were extracted from these calculations. The procedure was carried out by manually outlining the particles from several dozens of low- and high-resolution TEM images. Once digitized and saved in the proper format, the image was processed using the Gatan Digital Micrograph and Mathematical software (Gatan, Inc., Pleasanton, CA, USA).
PL studies were carried out at room temperature in a conventional PL system. An He-Cd laser (λ = 325 nm at 16 mW) was employed as the excitation source. The outgoing radiation from the sample was focused on the entrance slit of a 50-cm Acton monochromator (Princeton Instruments, Trenton, NJ, USA). The detection was carried out using a Princeton Instrument photomultiplier tube to a photon counter. All the spectra were corrected for the spectral response of the system.
A fitting equation (Figure 11, inset) and the HRTEM diameter distribution of TiN nanoparticles at 3 kV were used to describe the PL intensity. It can be noticed that energy distribution, as a function of nanoparticle size, is in an agreement with PL peak position. The slight difference (2.5 eV) of both the theoretical energy band and the PL peaks are due to the quantum confinement effect, where the energy band is enlarged when the nanoparticle size becomes smaller (for spherical particles) [24, 25]. Thus, in TiN, the PL peaks at a higher energy displacement with the nanoparticle size. For larger sizes, the energy displacement is less, (peaks or shoulders at approximately 2.6 eV) while for smaller sizes, the energy displacement is greater (peaks at approximately 3.0 eV).
Size-selected TiN nanoparticles were produced on Si (111) substrates at room temperature by ICBD method. The critical parameters of the system were tuned to obtain small nanoparticles at different size: 4.1 ± 0.2, 5.3 ± 0.4, 6.2 ± 0.2, 7.1 ± 0.3, 14.9 ± 0.7, and 20.3 ± 0.8 nm. The nanoparticle size was controlled during the production process by a mass filter with a high resolution. After deposition, the size distribution was statistically analyzed using AFM images and was in excellent agreement with the filter mass.
The TiN nanoparticle size was directly measured by HRTEM micrograph, and the crystalline structure was confirmed by the FFT patterns. The nanoparticle shape was considered as quasi-spherical according to the AFM height profiles and plan-view TEM image. The size distribution, cover surface, and nearest neighbor distance were also statistically analyzed as a function of the bias voltage by HRTEM micrograph. The increase of nanoparticle size and the nearest neighbor distance when the bias voltage is raised were explained by the coalescence of two or more nanoparticles.
The PL spectra of TiN nanoparticles at different sizes were also investigated experimentally. An abrupt change in the optical properties is observed once the cluster diameter is 5.4 nm. The observation of three emissions in the strong luminescence was explained based on the quantum confinement effect due to the small size distribution of TiN nanoparticles on the surface. With this report, engineers and scientists may be able to produce small TiN nanoclusters and tailor the physical properties (hardness, optics, or electric) for useful applications (e.g., catalysis, electronics, and medicine).

After putting the pieces in place, Sumner M. Redstone, chairman/ceo of Viacom Inc. announced today (June 14, 2005) that the companys board of directors has unanimously approved the creation of two separate publicly traded companies from the companys leading entertainment brands through a spin-off to Viacom stockholders.
The new company, created through the tax-free spin-off, will retain the Viacom Inc. name and will be led by Tom Freston. The new Viacom will be comprised of MTV Networks (including MTV, VH1, Nickelodeon, Nick at Nite, Comedy Central, CMT: Country Music Television, Spike TV, TV Land and many other networks around the world), BET, Paramount Pictures, Paramount Home Ent. and Famous Music.
The other company, to be called CBS Corp., will be led by Leslie Moonves and will combine the CBS and UPN broadcast networks, Viacom Television Stations Group, Infinity Broadcasting, Viacom Outdoor, the CBS, Paramount and King World television production operations, as well as Showtime, Simon & Schuster and Paramount Parks.
Stockholders will hold shares in both companies, a transaction expected to be tax-free to shareholders. Following the spin-off, which is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2006, Redstone will serve as chairman and will be the controlling shareholder of the companies, both headquartered in New York City.
Additionally, the Viacom board of directors has named Shari Redstone to the newly created position of non-executive vice chairman of the board. Shari Redstone, president of National Amusements Inc., has been a member of the Viacom board since 1994.
In line with its ongoing corporate governance initiatives, Frederic V. Salerno, a member of the Viacom board since 1994 and former vice chairman/cfo of Verizon Communications Inc., has been appointed to the newly created position of lead independent director of Viacom. Salerno is chair of the boards nominating and governance committee.
Sumner Redstone said, Today we celebrate our past successes by stepping forward to embrace the future. This transaction is the logical extension of the strategic vision that created Viacom and recognizes the inherent diversity of our assets as well as the changing business environment. We believe that this transaction will enable Viacom shareholders to fully benefit from the important gains we realized in building this company by fully unlocking our significant untapped potential and creating new opportunities to build on our leadership positions, maximize earnings growth and fully exploit our considerable strengths.
He added, The decision to create two new companies was the result of intense study by the board, which worked closely with the Companys management and carefully analyzed all strategic options before reaching its conclusion. The board believes the transaction will result in two strong, focused and nimble companies, and will better enable management to directly impact and maximize the strengths of their respective businesses. Additionally, the board believes that the transaction will provide current and potential stockholders with attractive investment options that are more closely aligned with their various investment objectives.
A special committee has been formed, which he will chair, that will assist and monitor the process of creating the two companies. Also serving on the committee will be Viacom board members Frederic Salerno, Philippe Dauman and Shari Redstone, who will serve as vice chairman of the committee.
Additional announcements regarding specific details on the two new companies, including financial structures, management teams and a more detailed timetable for the process, are forthcoming.
In connection with the proposed transaction, Viacom intends to file a registration statement on Form S-4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Investors and security holders are urged to read the registration statement and related materials that are filed with the SEC when they become available, because they will contain important information about the proposed transaction. Investors and security holders will be able to obtain copies of these documents, and other documents containing information about Viacom, without charge, at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
The new Viacom and CBS will have highly complementary business portfolios, leadership positions in their industries and superior management teams that have direct incentives to create greater shareholder value, said Sumner Redstone. In addition, each company will have distinct capital structures designed to generate higher returns.
The new Viacom will focus on organic expansion through the creation of cutting-edge content, unrivaled brands, specialized and highly desirable demographics and the continuing expansion of delivery platforms, he added. We anticipate that this companys stock will attract a higher trading multiple that can in turn be used for targeted acquisitions in promising areas. With the increased importance of wireless, online and video gaming businesses, the ability of the new Viacom to be opportunistic will be a distinct and powerful advantage. Additionally, we believe that the new Viacoms significant cash flow generation will provide the opportunity for significant share repurchases.
He continued, The new CBS will be a strong generator of free cash flow with industry-leading positions across television and radio broadcasting, television production and out-of-home advertising. With industry leading positions in content creation and delivery, CBS will be extraordinarily well positioned to maximize existing opportunities and execute on new areas designed to create value. Importantly, this company will also have the financial capability to return significant capital to stockholders through dividend payments and stock repurchases.
Viacom (www.viacom.com) is a leading global media company, with preeminent positions in broadcast and cable television, radio, outdoor advertising, and online. With programming that appeals to audiences in every demographic category across virtually all media, the company is a leader in the creation, promotion and distribution of entertainment, news, sports, music and comedy. Viacoms well-known brands include CBS, MTV, Nickelodeon, Nick at Nite, VH1, BET, Paramount Pictures, Infinity Broadcasting, Viacom Outdoor, UPN, TV Land, Comedy Central, CMT: Country Music Television, King World, Spike TV, Showtime, Paramount Parks and Simon & Schuster.

The Ball Hogs Go Through an NFL Style WorkoutPosted on October 06, 2013 by Adam Bradley
The folks over at Explosive Performance invited the Ball Hogs Radio Network team to their facility for a special NFL-style workout.
The EP team is responsible for many of the Redskins strength & conditioning when the guys aren't in-season. Ryan Kerrigan, Perry Riley, Josh Morgan, Pierre Garcon, Lorenzo Alexander & others have gone through the EP circuit and to no surprise, faired MUCH better than the BHRN team.
With representatives from The Ball Hogs, Purple Reign, Talk The Red & WizardsXTRA in attendance, some made it out in better shape then others. Talk The Red took advantage of the trash can by dumping their afternoon lunch in it. WizardsXTRA said: "I workout but I don't workout like that." My wife joined the workout and opted to ride home with the seat reclined all the way back. If these players do hour long workouts like this, 4-5 times a week... God Bless them. It took me 4-days to recover.
Here's three interesting observations showing the difference between pro athlete and average joe:
- We were put on a hydraulic squat machine that measures your explosion through the squat. For perspective purposes: I am 6'0" 185 and can bench 245. Im not majorly big but Im not small either, Im as average as they come. On the hydraulic squat machine, you squat down, put both pads on your shoulders, and explode upward. I scored an 1800. Our group maxed out at a score of 2200. Ryan Kerrigan, uses this machine for his legs and his arms, he scored close to 4000 using his ARMS. He is able to get on his knees and explode upward with his arms and have twice as much power as I have in my LEGS. Putting some truth to the statement: his arms are probably stronger than my legs.
- On the vertical jump our group maxed out at 31" vertical which is 10" shorter than the 300lbs of Trent Williams. My vertical landed at 28" more than a foot shorter than an offensive lineman. NFL athletes are freaks of nature.
- Have you been on a curved treadmill before? Just know there is no limit to how fast you can go since it all depends on your speed. And because of its curve, its like you're running downhill at times. The EP team put us on the Curve and had us max out our MPH. We maxed out at 18mph. 260lb Chris Wilson came in at 19.6 while receivers like Morgan and Anthony Armstrong run around 21-22mph's.
Prior to this past weeks workout, I never questioned the gap between a pro athletes measurables compared to an average joe, but seeing the disparity firsthand was an eye opener. Oh yeah, Ryan Kerrigan's arms are stronger than my legs.

No major festival could function without the stewards, security, catering and other staff that help events run smoothly. If you are looking for a temporary job over the summer, like working at large outdoor events and enjoy working around large numbers of people then working at a festival could be for you.
There are many different ways you can work at a festival. A lot of the work is voluntary, and often stewards will work for their tickets instead of getting a wage - often to the benefit of a charity such as Oxfam.
For more information about working at festivals, check out our guide to working at festivals.
Currently recruiting for their 2015 dates...
Deer Shed Festival are seeking a Litter Picker Supervisor (to work from Friday to Monday overseeing all of the litter picking volunteers to ensure the arena and campsite are litter-free all weekend); a Campsite Manager (possibly a job share for 2-4 people starting Friday and finishing Sunday night - keeping order in the campsite and will be responsible for all volunteers working in the area); and Shower Supervisor (possibly job share for 2 people working shifts that cover all weekend from Friday to Monday and responsible for keeping the showers clean and tidy, supervising volunteers, handling money and managing shower queues).
Volunteering for Deer Shed Festival
Deer Shed Festival volunteers are willing to give 7 hours of their time for a volunteer T-shirt and a ticket refund of £89.
First Time Volunteers - you need to complete this application form and return it to firstname.lastname@example.com. Once this has been received you will be invited to purchase a Volunteer Ticket at £89 (+ £3 booking fee). On receipt of your purchase confirmation you will be confirmed as a volunteer. You will be refunded £89 via PayPal on successful completion of your shifts following the 2015 festival.
Standard Ticket Holders - you can volunteer but we can only refund the value of a Volunteer Ticket i.e. £89 on successful completion of your shifts following the 2015 festival. Please complete this application form and return it to firstname.lastname@example.com along with your Ticketscript confirmation email.
For more details on any of these roles, please email Andy Dalton at firstname.lastname@example.com
Green Stewards offer volunteer steward jobs at some of the UK's greatest festivals, including Glastonbury, Secret Garden Party, Altfest, Beautiful Days, Shambala, Wilderness, Galtres and Somersault (+ more). At some events, we have opportunities for paid work. We also give stewards the opportunity to gain a Spectator Safety NVQ in the course of their volunteering. If you have never done stewarding before, it's a great way to experience a festival. Stewarding is sociable and can be really rewarding – it has to be one the best festival jobs! Whether you come as a group or alone, you'll find Green Stewards to be one of the friendliest organisations to work with. See http://www.greenstewards.com for more information.
Oxfam provide stewards for a number of events.
Oxfam stewards must be over 18 and be willing to volunteer for 3 x 8 1/4 hour shifts usually over the days of the festival, with the rest of your time free to enjoy yourself. Roles vary from ticket checking, and campsite patrols to arena venues and disabled access platforms. You are also asked to pay a fully refundable deposit which is returned to you after the festival. See the Oxfam website for more details.
Complete Wasters provide litter picking and recycling services at Festivals and Events such as No Direction Home and Summer Sundae and rely on volunteers to help maintain their high standards. This active and satisfying role, not only gets you entry into the event and usually a meal or two, but a real sense of achievement in keeping the site clean, tidy and limiting the environmental impact as much as possible. With a big part of the work usually being focused on the end of the festival, there can also be the opportunity to enjoy more of the event than perhaps with other voluntary roles. Deposits to ensure shifts are completed are required. Check out the Summer Events Diary on the volunteer section of their website www.completewasters.co.uk.
VSC/Workers Beer Company Would you like to get free entry to festivals such as Glastonbury, Latitude, Tolpuddle, Reading and Leeds - and at the same time help raise crucial funds for social causes?
VSC will again be joining with the important labour movement organisation Worker's Beer Company (www.workersbeer.co.uk) and will be organising volunteers at a range of festivals. As a volunteer, you get free entry, and at those where you need to camp, you stay in a reserved 'village' with toilets and hot showers plus soem free food and drink. (You need to bring a tent and a sleeping bag). There is also free transport to some festivals from London and sometimes elsewhere. In exchange you will work a bar shift (6-8 hours) for which VSC will receive £6.50 per hour - funds which are crucial to enabling our solidarity campaigning throughout the year. To register as a potential volunteer please contact firstname.lastname@example.com with the names of the festivals you would like to volunteer at, including an indication on whether you are prepared to do waiter/ess service at the festivals if necessary. For queries contact VSC on 0207 420 8963 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hallo, Im working in an online company, which is located in the centre of Berlin same as my flat. I like sport, music (especially concerts) and travelling as a backpacker. In that experience I stayed in different countries in local families. That helped me to get an better view in their lives and places. Further all of them are more flexible then any hotels or hostels. I wanna do the same experience to other, who come to Berlin and want to explore Berlin and need advice in all directions. Add on its always nice to meet new people.
Even if you just have a question and dont wanna stay, just ask.

Who We Are
We are an innovative Faculty that has been serving students and launching careers since 1908. Our 49,000 plus alumni make an important difference in communities everywhere and contribute to our cultural lives. And they enjoy interesting careers in every sector of the economy, including the oil and gas sector, business, government, IT, education and in non-profit organizations.
The Faculty of Arts is a strong partner and research contributor to the University of Alberta, in part because of our size — we are one of the largest Faculties on campus.

Arts students have access to a large scholarship pool totaling over $450,000 annually.
Our graduate programs attract outstanding students from around the globe, and their talents enrich our teaching, research and campus communities.
Faculty Awards and Accomplishments
Our track record of excellent research and teaching could not happen without award-winning Faculty. In 2014, we were the recipient of an unprecedented eight University of Alberta teaching excellence awards. Arts is also home to six University Cup recipients, which is the highest honor the University of Alberta bestows on its academic staff.
Our reputation is also acknowledged nationally and internationally:
Seven 3M Teaching Fellowships.

23 Royal Society of Canada Fellows.
One inaugural member of the Royal Society of Canada's College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists.
10 Canada Research Chairs.
One 2014 Canada Council Killam Research Fellowship.

They are knowledgeable about the past and prepared to examine the future. They approach the dynamic global culture with experience in other languages and in the study of societies and cultures. Our graduates are engaged and creative citizens – people with the critical skills to tackle complex global problems, and the creativity to envision and pursue a different world.

Aldo Moro was the leader of the Christian Democratic Party in Italy. In 1978 he was kidnapped and eventually murdered by Communist terrorists called the Red Brigades, who were then in the midst of a terror spree that included numerous assassinations. Moro's murder is said to have had a traumatic impact on Italy's politics not unlike the impact the assassination of John Kennedy had in the U.S.
Now, twenty-five years later, the "truth" about Moro's murder is finally coming out. The photo below is from a new Italian movie called, in English, "The Plaza of the Five Moons." The actor on the left is Donald Sutherland. As reported by the Associated Press, the movie "expounds a sensational conclusion: both the American CIA and the Soviet KGB were behind the kidnapping, united in blocking the prospect of a 'historic compromise' under which Catholics would have worked shoulder-to-shoulder with Communists."
Well, it isn't any stupider than the conspiracy theories about the Kennedy assassination. It is striking that in both cases, the murders were done by self-proclaimed Communists. But this hasn't stopped leftists from fantasizing conspiracy theories in which the murderous Communists are transformed into the innocent victims of the conspiracy.
The AP says that "The Plaza of the Five Moons" is being billed as a "docudrama" and was "financed by Britain, France, Germany and Italy."

Items marked with red have tested a 3 or above (out of 5) in comedogenic (pore-clogging) testing.

|Olay Complete All Day Moisturizer With Sunscreen Broad Spectrum Spf15 - Sensitive 6.0 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
updated: 02/09/2016 19:03 UTC
Acne.org is not associated with this product. All proceeds from links go to charity.
[The prices listed above may change at any time and in some cases do not include shipping.]
I use the current version of this product, which contains zinc oxide. Goes on smoothly, absorbs well, and leaves a nice matte finish. Also is gentle and contains beneficial ingredients (vitamin E & Aloe). Moisturizes OK. I add a few drops of jojoba oil to help with dryness & with flakiness. Offers superior broad-spectrum sun-protection because of the gentle yet effective zinc oxide.
The product did make my skin soft, I can say that. But after a few days of using it, I notcied that a rash has formed all over my face, mostly on my cheeks and around my eyes. There is an ingredient in the moisturizer than clogs pores, leading to rashes, small cysts, and acne. The rash doesnt bother me at all; its bot that noticeable. But I still dont recommend this.
I have been using it for two years and it works well as daily use.
I used this per Dan's recommondation and I love it! The texture is nice, it doesn't break me out, and it makes my skin look healthier overall. I even wear it day and night because I love the affects. It has vitamin E, Zinc Oxide, and aloe...all of which are good for skin. I'd prefer for it to not have a chemical sunscreen added, but I don't notice any bad affects from it. My skin is super sensitive and breakout prone, so it's rare for me to find a sunscreen or makeup product that I like. This passes my test! Before I was relying on my makeup for sun protection because sunscreen inevitably broke me out...so I'm glad I finally found this.
I thought it was working for my flakey skin, but 2-3 days later after I bought it, i got pimples in places where they wouldn't usually grow in. Got some on my chin too. I've been avoiding unhealthy foods this week so I'm guessing it's the moisturizer. Before I used this moisturizer my face wasn't peeling but after the moisturizer it peeled and burned. I have uneven skin tone now which sucks, regret using this! I will just use the moisturizer that comes with the kit. Please don't use this!!
I tried this one after it was brought back in 2010, since Dan recommended it with The Regimen. Sorry to say, it was the wrong choice for me: gave me milia in several places. I recommend DeVita Solar Protective Moisturizer SPF 30 + instead, which has been working well for me the past 4 years.
I used this product for 4 years and its ok it could be a little drying around my mouth area but i definately would not include this in a night time regimen bc the chemicals are harmful to sleep in and it could clog pores.
This is for the ORIGINAL sensitive skin formula (zinc oxide NOT avobenzone)- I've used this for years and it is extremely gentle on my sensitive skin, with the added SPF bonus. Only downside is it can be just a tad greasy sometimes, but not enough to make me stop using it
This is by far my favorite moisturizer. I've gone through several bottles already, applying a small amount every morning.
It's got a great consistency - not too runny, not too thick. This product wears well underneath makeup, and has never caused a breakout for me.
While an SPF of 15 is fine for average days, I'd love it more if it had an SPF of 30 or better. Overall though, it's a great product and definitely worth a shot.
I bought this because of Dan's recommendation. The zinc oxide makes my face flake like crazy all day long. I am also very pale (Scandinavian skin) and the zinc makes me look even paler, literally like a ghost. I would recommend Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Spf 30 over this product.

I love reading blogs about people facing the challenge of weight loss! I am sharing this one with you all!
Dear Gabriel,
I'd hardly be doing myself a service writing naked if I didn't examine my relationship with food and how it came to affect my relationship with my body.
I've always enjoyed good food. Sweets, particularly, being one of those kids who ate themselves sick on Halloween even though my parents warned me that I'd throw up if I didn't stop. I usually managed to keep it all down. Usually.
Back when I was a gymnast, eating candy had little affect on my performance, since the rest of my diet was relatively healthy, and since I had such a high metabolism. It wasn't until I quit the exercise (but not the food) that I started to pack on the pounds. And, it wasn't until I hit puberty that I added emotions to the reason I ate. On top of the hidden wound of sexual abuse, that is.

Zambian Leader Sets New Course Former Trade Unionist Emerges as Leading Advocate of Free Enterprise, Tough Work Ethic. INTERVIEW
John Battersby, writer of The Christian Science Monitor, The Christian Science Monitor
A RIPPLE of excitement passes through the crowd as the diminutive figure rises to his feet clad in a double-breasted Italian suit.
"The hour ... the hour ... the hour has come," proclaims the crowd of 40,000 or so people reaching forward with the symbolic thumb-and-forefinger salute of the Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD).
The hour is noon on Saturday Nov. 2 outside Lusaka's high court - the scene for the swearing in of Zambia's second president.
The man is Frederick Chiluba - the former trade union leader who embodies the wave of popular feeling that swept longtime ruler Kenneth Kaunda from power over the weekend. Opens with a prayer
Normally, he would have initiated the haunting chant himself. But instead Mr. Chiluba, a reborn Christian since he was detained for trade union activities a decade ago, opens his speech with a prayer.
Then he continues: "The stream of democracy, dammed up for 27 years, is finally free to run its course as a mighty African river...." His supporters call him "The Liberator," or "The Messiah," or "The Black Moses." In Zambia's Copperbelt, where he grew up, he was known as, Aka Red, the Winning Dice.
"We know that President Chiluba is a not a talker but a doer," the pro-MMD Sunday Express said in a recent editorial."That is what makes him different from other leaders who spend most of their time talking."
Chiluba's life is a paradox. It is rare in Africa to find a trade union leader emerging as the leading advocate of free enterprize and the architect of economic reconstruction in a country devastated by socialism. He has inherited the ruins of a centrally controlled economy in an advanced state of decay. Yet Chiluba's greatest challenge could be to hold together the unlikely eight-month-old MMD coalition of workers, big business, church groups, and the professional class.
As a member of Zambia's largest tribe, the Bemba, Chiluba could also face tribal tensions in his government if he does not strike the right ethnic balance in his Cabinet. Mr. Kaunda successfully maintained tribal unity because he wasn't Zambian; he was the son of a missionary from neighboring Malawi.
Chiluba, who was born in Zambia's northern Luapula province, spent most of his childhood in the Copperbelt town of Kitwe. His father was a copper miner who died when Chiluba was a child. Chiluba was then raised by his grandmother. He dropped out of school and worked briefly as a personnel clerk in a sisal hemp plantation in neighboring Tanzania where he developed an interest in trade unionism. He later completed his schooling by correspondence, passing exams in politics and government.
Chiluba was elected leader of the 300,000-strong Zambian Congress of Trade Unions in 1974. He held the position until he was elected the first president of the MMD in February.
Kaunda, who ruled the country for 27 years, suspended the Constitution soon after independence, nationalized the copper mines in 1968, and ushered in one-party rule in 1972. Chiluba rejected repeated attempts by Kaunda to neutralize him as an opponent by bringing him into the Cabinet after his release from detention in 1981.
Chiluba is in the mold of a new generation of African leaders who are prepared to confront the severe crisis the continent faces rather than blame Africa's ills on the legacy of colonialism. …

The Ghost in the Machine by kaijukidWatch
©2012-2016 kaijukid
Commission piece for ~Jango-Zilla, a Kiryu piece inspired by a cool pic of Optimus Prime in a "strike a pose" battle stance. I suck at machines, but as long as he's happy with it, I'll be happy with it

If just the organic Godzilla has the hand blade, it would be perfect
That epic!
I love the version of meachagodzilla
It really amazes me how popular all the Mechagodzillas are. I like him of course, but he was never in my top shelf of favorites or anything, and then to just keep seeing his popularity increase more and more. Most of the younger fans I talk to ADORE Mechagozilla, and especially Kiryu, he's developed an insane cult following. If I were a views whore I'd draw them all the time
Nice concept and execution, the details are impressive! Nice work!
I didn't come up with the concept of his pose or the fact that he's all battle scarred, but I really appreciate it.
Dude,this is so epic,nice work!
Genuinely glad you like, this one was a pain
wow awesome job good pose,details,colors. Now that's a mechaG-3 look I like
Appreciate it, Kiryu is not fun to do but when it works, it works. Robots just demand more accuracy than biological creatures, I suppose.
my thanks to you, sir. I just pity the poor chaps who ever have to draw this thing for a living, takes for bloody ever.
Very cool. I like the pose and you did a really swell job at capturing all the little detail in the machine.
Kind of you to say so, but I don't envy the artist who had to do Kiryu in the latest issue of te IDW Godzilla comic. That, for me, would be a living nightmare.
I feel more sorry for the Hedorah folks I mean if people draw machines they get really fast at it, I have seen. But man.....all that gloopy texture on there for Hedorah lol. Btw, awesome work on the latest pages of the Redmoon comic. Be sure I will probably flood your comments on about half a dozen of those pages and give you nice feedback. I mean you put a crap ton of work into that and it bugs me that noone really says anything. It's a great comic so far!
I always appreciate your feedback, especially since I purposefully try to rush through it as quickly as possible so that I can have a life and work But it's always inspiring and gratifying to know kaiju fans are enjoying it, even if it is just fluff fan stuff. I look forward to your thoughts as always.
I love it! THanks!
That what exactly what happened in the movie. It was crazy!!!
The most awesome and badass mech to EVER come out of Japan. Voltron or Gundam doesnt have shit on Kiryu lol! He really is one badass mech. Out of all the extremely stupid mech designs in the Godzilla series, they REALLY nailed it with him. Really awesome job drawing him! He came out really really great!
Appreciate it, but of all the Godzilla foes in the WHOLE lineup, Kiryu is one that I cannoy draw without reference, he's just too complex. It's good to work on kaiju like still lifes I guess, but Kiryu has so many little details that it becomes a real chore to do him justice. Still, he is a good looking mech, I just wish he was more powerful. The whole "2 hour battery" charge thing always annoyed me
No problem. I can see why hes hard to draw. Hes a machine and like every machine he has tons of parts and circuits you need to draw. Hes the most awesome mech to ever be created. That 2 hour battery thing was pretty stupid

Children's Health
Worried About Lyme Disease?
June 26, 2000 -- When Duchess County, New York, resident Sally picked up 14-year-old Amy from a summer program last year, she noticed that her daughter seemed unusually fatigued. A couple of weeks later, Sally was shocked to discover that the side of Amy's face had begun drooping. Sally immediately suspected what her doctor confirmed: Despite having taken what the family thought were adequate precautions against ticks, the girl had developed facial nerve palsy, a symptom of untreated Lyme disease.
While numbers are on the rise among all age groups, the increase is particularly worrisome to people with children. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that the percentage of Lyme sufferers under age 16 -- one of the groups that spend the most time outdoors and have the highest rate of diagnosis -- has been gradually rising, from 21.7% in 1992 to 26.1% in 1998. "It's definitely an issue, especially for people whose houses are near wooded areas," says Lisa, a mother of two in suburban New Jersey. "Parents see it as a real problem."

Backyard and Playground Safety
The backyard offers a world of fun for children. Playgrounds offer even more chances for adventure. But the fun can end abruptly when someone gets hurt. That's one reason the American Academy of Pediatrics reminds parents to supervise children's outdoor play, even at home. To protect your kids from injuries, keep these backyard and playground safetytips in mind. Backyard safety basics Start by giving your backyard a once-over: Check to see that your fences are sturdy and in good repair...
Read the Backyard and Playground Safety article > >
The disease is also a growing concern to people living in the most heavily affected regions of the country -- the Northeast and upper Midwest -- though epidemiologists have confirmed cases in nearly every state. "In the last several years, the numbers have ranged between 12,000 and 16,000," says David T. Dennis, MD, coordinator of the Lyme Disease Program at the CDC.
Lyme disease is transmitted to humans by deer ticks and black-legged ticks. Initial symptoms, which show up three to 32 days after the bite, are flu-like in nature; most, but not all, sufferers develop a bull's-eye rash at the site of the bite. Facial nerve palsy, like Amy had, can also occur. Sufferers who aren't treated soon enough after the tick bite can suffer chronic problems ranging from joint pain to heart problems to neurological disorders.
While experts warn people to take precautions during the spring and summer months, when the risk for contracting Lyme disease peaks, they aren't calling for extreme measures. "Parents shouldn't worry so much that they prevent their children from playing outside," advises Henry M. Feder, MD, a professor of family medicine and pediatrics at the University of Connecticut Health Center. "Even if you do get a tick bite, in most areas chances are only one in 100 to one in 1,000 that you'll get the disease."

DALLAS — The Avalanche will retire the No. 52 sweater worn by defenseman Adam Foote before Saturday's game with the Montreal Canadiens.
Although the game will start at 8 p.m., fans are urged to be in their seats by 6:45 p.m. for the presentation to Foote.
Several former Avalanche teammates are expected to be there, including Peter Forsberg.
Talbot plays. Max Talbot, acquired Thursday for Steve Downie from Philadelphia, played against the Stars. He skated on the third line, centered by Nathan MacKinnon.
"He's got great talent," Talbot said of MacKinnon. "I'm excited to be here."
Footnotes. Nick Holden made his season debut for the Avs, but not at his normal position of defense. With Jamie McGinn (knee) out and Cody McLeod serving the last game of his suspension, Holden played at left wing against the Stars. ... McLeod will return to the lineup Saturday against Montreal. ... Tyson Barrie was the lone healthy scratch for Colorado. ... J.S. Giguere will start at goalie against Montreal.

Exterior design
Having recently undergone its mid-life facelift, the current-generation Kluger has come out looking a little less chunky and a quite a bit classier. In a theme for the rest of the car, it doesn't set our hearts a-flutter, but neither does it do anything to offend.
The reduction in chunkiness is primarily thanks to the new front end that sports a set of significantly slimmer headlights, a new bonnet and revised grille. Although the car's new eyes are of the projector variety, swivelling xenon headlights aren't available anywhere in the Kluger range. All four sides are recipients of black-out plastic and extra lashings of chrome for a more upmarket feel.
Mid-range KX-S and top-of-the-line Grande models ride on different 19-inch alloy wheels, while the base KX-R makes do with a set of 17-inch shoes. The chromed pair of side rails look almost too nice to be used for holding a set of roof racks. Click the unlock button on the remote plipper and the Kluger will now greet you with puddle lights mounted on the underside of the wing mirrors.
Interior design
The changes on the inside are more subtle; if you notice the darker plastic "metal" trim then you're doing a good job.
Seven seats are standard on the KX-S and Grande, while KX-R buyers will have to pony up an extra AU$2700 or make do with five seats. Even with the front seats pushed back to their limit, there's plenty of room in the second row for anyone smaller than Goliath.
Anyone who's past puberty will find the third row of seats uncomfortable for anything more than a short journey. There's plenty of torso, arm and head space, but the shallow foot-well means that rear row occupants have to sit with their knees up. The middle pew can be slid forwards to improve the comfort of those behind or reclined.
The third row folds flat and easily into the boot floor for ample storage space, but if that's not enough the second row of seats split-folds 40/20/40. In seven-seater mode, though, boot space is limited to a few shopping bags.
In terms of safety, all Klugers come with seven airbags, including one for the driver's knee, stability and traction control, anti-lock brakes and hill start assistance. Air conditioning is standard, with the KX-S and Grande gaining three-zone climate control and a separate set of controls for passengers in the rear.
On the KX-S upwards, the Kluger features leather upholstery, with the front seats benefiting from electric adjustment and heating.
Take the leap into the Grande and you'll gain a tilt and slide sunroof, automatic headlights, keyless entry and start, and auto-dimming rear-view mirror to play with. Some luxury features, like radar-guided cruise control and rain-sensing windscreen wipers, are notable absentees from the Kluger range.

{Top Picks} BB Cream
Ever since I posted this blog post here I've been getting a lot of questions about my favorite BB creams! As I mentioned in a previous post , I like to pamper my skin whenever I get the chance. But since I can't go everywhere walking around with a face masks ,I love to find other ways I can treat my skin. Since it's summer, it's time for minimal makeup in this heat. As mentioned here, I like to wear light effortless makeup so I don't feel like my entire face is melting off! So I was so happy when I found out that BB creams can give me the light weight feel that I wanted in the summer ( and throughout the year,) while treating my skin at the same time. With my busy schedule, I love finding multi tasking products like these! I've included some for all different skin types & I made sure to throw in this one by Garnier that is especially great in the summer for girls with oily skin. This BB cream in particular will control that oil and give you more of a matte finish!
|1.-FOR NORMAL SKIN– Bobbi Brown BB Cream |2. FOR DRY SKIN- Maybelline Dream Fresh BB|3. FOR OILY SKIN–Garnier SR BB Cream|4. MATTE FINISH–Tarte BB Tinted Treatment|5.FOR SENSITIVE SKIN-Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream|6. LIGHT COVERAGE-Diorskin Nude BB Cream
Great picks, I've heard the Dior nude bb cream is amazing!
I love the Maybelline BB cream!
Love love love BB creams! They definitely saved my life and so easy to use and apply, most definitely, great coverage! Actually started using it from a Korean brand that I got in Hong Kong, and it works magic ;)) Great post!
❤ Jenny Tsang
– NEW POST: Snake Is Me –
i´m using Skin 79 BB, it si really light and I love it, because many products seems to be to heavy for my skin.
I use the Garnier and I absolutly love it! It was my first try of an BB creme and nerver tried another one because I loved it from the first minute on! I don't use normal foundation any more!
I highly, highly suggest Korean BB Creams. I know they can be hard to get your hands on, but they are totally worth it. They are way better then American BB creams and have more benefits to them. The only downside is that they are mostly only for lighter tonged skins…
You can get them from prettyandcute(.)com, amazon, and ebay! ^^
Teagan, I'm a fan of Boscia's BB cream. I have really sensitive skin that breaks out easily. I've tried other BB creams that made it worse. Boscia's oil free and the finish is pretty matte. It doesn't have the most coverage, but if you layer it on your imperfections it does a good job.
What would you recommend for skin that is both oily yet sensitive if I want a matte finish?
I'm currently using Maybelline's Dream Fresh BB cream. It really is great, however, I wouldn't recommend it for people that are looking for coverage. It has little coverage, but I like it since I luckily have clear skin.
