This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

The true beginning of any skin care regimen is proper cleansing. Phytomer Cleansers are the first step in the treatment of skin, to remove makeup and to clear away the everyday dirt, excess oils, dead skin cells and impurities that are gathered from the environment. Unlike with many cleansers, this can be accomplished without harsh chemicals or alcohol bases. These strip away the delicate protective layer of the skin, the hydrolipidic film. Instead, Phytomer Cleansers use gentle but effective contents to achieve the desirable goal of a clean skin without causing damage in the process.
Without proper cleansing, the leftover makeup, excess oils, dirt, dead skin cells and other debris can clog pores and follicles, which may result in serious skin problems. In addition, these waste materials can provide an ideal culture for the growth of bacteria and fungi, which can cause infection, inflammation and damage to the skin above and below the surface. Phytomer Cleansers work to remove the problem of debris build-up with light, gentle lathering gels and creams. They combine the effectiveness of soap with the softness of cream.
All day long – and all night, as well – your face is constantly subjected to the build-up of excess oils, constantly shedding dead skin cells, airborne soils and pollutants as well as other contaminants. To give your skin a chance to show its natural, healthy glow, all of this debris has to be removed. But be careful! Harsh cleansers can do more damage than the original problem. Instead, Phytomer Cleansers take a more gentle, but still effective, approach to skin cleansing. By using carefully formulated and balanced ingredients, these products provide the care your skin needs. You will be amazed by how gently they perform.
It only makes sense that, before using a toner, the skin should be clean and prepared. The velvety Phytomer Oligopur – Purifying Cleansing Gel uses a combination of oat amino acids and red algae extract to achieve the synergy of these two effective ingredients. The oat amino acids help counteract the excess oils, cleaning the skin and keeping it blemish-free. At the same time, the extract of Asparagopsis armata, a red marine algae, improves the skin's moisture retention and elasticity. The marine content of Phytomer Perfect Visage Gentle Cleansing Milk comes from the extract of Laminaria digitata, a brown seaweed. The natural alginic acid in this extract detoxifies the skin. The refreshing and bracing fragrance of menthol accompanies the luxurious feel of Phytomer Doux Visage – Velvet Cleansing Cream. It not only removes makeup and eliminates impurities in the skin, but prevents the loss of moisture from the skin.

Funding via Prisma Honduras, S.A.
These loans are designed for female farmers who produce a variety of products (onion, garlic, eggplant, spinach, mango, strawberries, etc.). Loan terms will vary depending on need, and borrowers can choose to make a "bullet" payment timed with harvest profits. Agricultural loans are considered risky in Honduras due to external forces like unpredictable weather and worldwide crop prices. As a result, many traditional financial institutions are unwilling to offer these loans. With Kiva funding, COMIXMUL will be able to reach more borrowers with agricultural loans tailored to their needs.
Success!! The loan was 100% repaid

The information provided here is meant to give you a general idea about each of the medicines listed below. Only the most general side effects are included. Ask your doctor if you need to take any special precautions. Use each of these medicines only as recommended by your doctor, and according to the instructions provided. If you have further questions about usage or side effects, contact your doctor.
Medicines may help to prevent, reduce, or manage side effects of treatment. Talk to your doctor about any symptoms that you have from either the treatment or the medicine.
Common names include:
- Pamidronate
- Clodronate
- Erythropoietin
Multiple myeloma often damages the bones. Bisphosphonates are used to prevent bone pain and fractures by helping the body restore and repair bone that has been damaged by the growth of myeloma cells.
Pamidronate is given as an injection. Clodronate is given daily by mouth. These drugs are used in addition to chemotherapy. Studies show they decrease the risk of bone pain and fractures by blocking the further breakdown of bone.
Possible side effects include:
- Nausea or vomiting
- Decreased appetite
- Bone, joint, or muscle pain
- Fever (pamidronate)
- Stomach pain (pamidronate)
- Difficulty sleeping (pamidronate)
- Cough, runny nose (pamidronate)
- Fatigue (pamidronate)
- Headache (pamidronate)
- Anemia (pamidronate)
- Diarrhea (clodronate)
- Low calcium levels (clodronate)
Common names include:
- Morphine
- Oxycodone
- Fentanyl
- Hydromorphone
- Methadone
Multiple myeloma can result in chronic and severe back pain. To relieve pain, the doctor may prescribe opioids. They are an effective group of medications if taken as prescribed and under a doctor's supervision. Your doctor will monitor you while you are taking them.
Possible side effects include:
- Sleepiness
- Lightheadedness
- Nausea or vomiting
- Itchy skin
Serious side effects may include difficulty breathing and low blood pressure.
Other Treatments
Plasmapheresis may be done if your blood has become too thick from the presence of abnormal antibodies created by multiple myeloma. Plasmapheresis is a process that separates the fluid part of the blood, called plasma, and removes it from your body. This part of the blood contains the abnormal antibodies.
During this procedure, 2 needles attached to a catheter tube are inserted into the veins. Blood is taken out of the body through one of the catheter tubes. It then goes into the apheresis machine. This machine works in one of two ways. In the first method, the blood cells may be separated from the plasma by spinning the blood at high speeds. The second method uses a special membrane. The membrane has tiny pores that only the plasma can pass through, leaving the blood cells behind.
Once in the machine, the blood cells are separated from the plasma. The blood cells are mixed with replacement plasma or a plasma substitute. The new mixed blood is then returned to the body through the other tube.
Plasmapheresis is used to help control symptoms of multiple myeloma. It is not a curative treatment, and its long-term benefits are not known.
Spinal compression fractures are a complication of multiple myeloma. This complication can result in severe back pain. During vertebroplasty, the doctor injects special bone cement into the broken vertebrae. In kyphoplasty, a balloon is used to expand the fractured area before injecting the cement. Both procedures restore some physical function of the spine and reduce pain.

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, members and staff of the Helsinki Commission. My name is Gavin Weise, I am the Deputy Director for Europe & Asia at the International Foundation for Electoral Systems, also known as IFES.
IFES is a global leader in democracy promotion. We advance good governance and democratic rights by providing technical assistance to election officials, empowering the under-represented to participate in the political process and applying field-based research. Since 1987, IFES has worked in 135 countries, from developing to mature democracies.
IFES has been active in Ukraine over the past two decades. IFES has provided support to nascent electoral institutions following Ukraine's independence; offered legislative assistance to fundamental laws; gauged citizens' sentiment and attitudes through annual public opinion research; and worked with a diverse range of civil society groups and experts to improve the quality and transparency of elections in the country. Currently we are actively promoting debate and analyses of electoral laws and other election issues among civil society experts; building the capacity of civic organizations to play a meaningful role in electoral and political processes and reform; supporting the Central Election Commission in its efforts to prepare for the 2012 elections; and will embark on longer-term institutional reforms.
Before moving to my remarks, I want to first pause and sincerely thank the Helsinki Commission for inviting IFES to speak today, but more so for simply holding this event. Over the past two years, really since Ukraine's last presidential election in 2010, organizations such as IFES, and those of my colleagues here today, have followed events closely in the country with an eye toward this October's parliamentary elections. While Ukraine had a record of relatively competitive, considerably free and fair, and competently run elections for several years up through the 2010 presidential election, the local elections in the fall of that year gave us all cause for serious concern. The conduct of those elections, subsequent deterioration of rights and freedoms as documented by a number of organizations, the much-publicized and seemingly selective political persecution of former government and current opposition figures, and recent developments with regards to the upcoming October election, have only heightened those concerns.
Since I am joined by my colleagues of the two political party institutes, I will focus my remarks on IFES' core competencies, namely the legal framework and administration of elections. In doing so, I will touch upon a number of persisting or new weaknesses in the electoral legislation, draw your attention to some recent developments in preparation for October's elections, and finally and perhaps most importantly, highlight what additional issues may surface in the coming months based on IFES' experience, observations and work in the country.
First of all, in regards to the current electoral legislation and the context under which it has come about, I would begin with the 2010 local elections, which were widely regarded as the most problematic elections in the recent history of Ukraine. For an account of the 2010 local elections and some of the issues encountered, you may refer to the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine's own statement of November 3, 2010. This preliminary statement cited concerns over insufficient training of election officials, ballot lottery, commission membership and complicated registration procedures, among others. It also stressed weaknesses in the recently passed local election law which changed the rules of the game late in the process and, in the opinion of most experts, to the detriment of the opposition parties and several prominent independent candidates. In that statement the embassy also indicated a willingness to provide assistance to future electoral reforms in Ukraine.
On the heels of these elections, President Yanukovich announced his intent to embark on comprehensive electoral reform. Reform is of course a natural, ongoing process when a government, legislature or interest group seeks to improve and amend an institution or practice. Our own country shows no shortage of controversial topics that many would like to change in one way or another: campaign finance, redistricting and the electoral college, just to name a few. And while this commitment to legal reform was welcome in Ukraine, many stakeholders were surprised, and indeed dismayed, by the government's choice to begin with the parliamentary election law, a law that was regarded by many as being the least flawed of Ukraine's four primary election laws.
A reluctance of many stakeholders within the opposition, civil society and international organizations to participate in the government's working group on election reform was increased by the fact that the government made many key decisions, including a change in the electoral system, even before the working group's first meeting. Out of this process a new draft parliamentary election law was put forward. IFES, together with assessments of the Council of Europe's Venice Commission and OSCE/ODIHR, has drawn attention to both positive and negative provisions in the law through its formal assessment of the law, and subsequent analysis. This analysis is available on our website and copies are also available here today. Of note, the final version of the law prepared by the parliament's temporary special committee was not broadly discussed with experts and adopted in the first and final reading during one day with a number of changes from the drafts analyzed by international organizations. IFES later prepared its comments on the final law after its adoption which it circulated widely among stakeholders and the diplomatic community.
And it is of course this law which will regulate these elections in October.
Now, I would like to make a general comment regarding the electoral system, itself. Since the beginning of the reform process, the government of Ukraine let it be known that the electoral system would be a parallel electoral system, whereby half the deputies would be elected through proportional representation according to a nationwide vote, and half would be elected in winner-take-all electoral constituencies (not unlike our elections for the House of Representatives).
Inherently there is nothing wrong or right in such a system. However, I would like to draw your attention to the last time such a system was in place, exactly 10 years ago, during Ukraine's 2002 parliamentary elections. Those elections were held at a time of a government waning in popularity; yet eventually produced somewhat surprising results to the benefit of the pro-government political force, to the point of it successfully retaining significant control of the legislature. More specifically, in 2002, Nasha Ukraina received 23.57 percent of the popular vote in the nationwide constituency, and won 25 percent of the seats in the legislature, while pro-governmental pro-Kuchma "Zayedu" received 11.77 percent of the vote in the nationwide constituency, yet won 22.4 percent of the seats. How did this happen? The pro-Kuchma "Zayedu" bloc did extraordinarily well in single-member districts. Academics have since shown how in districts where the lion's share of the popular vote was clearly for one political party, the single member candidate vote in the same territory was rather oddly, not. A commonly held assertion among experts and academics was that in some cases use and control of administrative resource in certain territorial regions helped ensure a victory for pro-governmental candidates where the pro-governmental party did not enjoy a plurality of support.
What is important to note, is that today in Ukraine, we have a similar scenario unfolding: a parallel electoral system is now firmly in place. A number of polls, including IFES' own from two weeks ago, shows the leading party in Ukraine, the governing Party of Regions, is in decline with support from only about 20 percent of the electorate. Meanwhile, the major oppositional parties cumulative support totals are polling now higher than the Party of Regions. So in a sense, we have a similar "mix" heading into the 2012 polls as we had in 2002; a governing force waning in popular support, about to compete in an election where half of the seats will be determined in single-member districts. In addition, the government holds considerable power at the local territorial level, clearly helped by the outcomes of those controversial local elections two years ago. Of course, we are not in 2002 but 2012 and can conclude nothing at this time. However, the parallel is striking and must not be dismissed.
A more technical issue we are now confronted with concerns the boundaries of those new single member-electoral districts. Just how many districts each administrative region of Ukraine would have was determined on April 28, 2012, and the borders of the districts were released made widely public on May 5. It is difficult to assess the Central Election Commission's performance in creating the boundaries for these constituencies because the law included only three sub-articles to regulate this process. Efforts to develop a supplementary law on territorial organization of elections seem to have evaporated. Although there had been an earlier legislative intent, and indeed its creation was referenced in the early draft of the law, it simply did not happen. On a positive note, the Central Election Commission seems to have adhered to the 12 percent limit on the variation of voting population as prescribed by law, meaning the districts are to be relatively equal in population and thus the votes of citizens relatively equal. The Central Election Commission has allocated these districts to Ukraine's regions proportionally to the number of voters registered there. We understand that attempts were recently made to challenge the new boundaries through the court system, but that the cases were dismissed on the ground that the plaintiff's allegations, even if proven to be true, would not amount to a contravention of the law. In other words, it is proving difficult to challenge the legality of an act, when said act has little in the way to regulate it.
As IFES cautioned in several of its reports, leaving the law vague and devoid of several basic international norms of districting has yielded little in the way of predictability for contestants or guidance for election commissioners, potentially leaving the commission open to criticism as a consequence. Here we should also point out that between the initial draft of the new law and the final version, one of the only provisions in the draft law related to districts – that districts must be contiguous – was inexplicably removed. As the districts have now been unveiled, we not surprised to see that there are districts which are noncontiguous. Unless the desire is to keep, in the same election district, a community of interest, such as an ethnic minority, or an established territorial unit (e.g. city, township, etc.) together, that, too, happens to be non-contiguous, by international standards there is no justifiable reason for doing this. In addition, there were no public or expert consultations, or certainly no expert input known to the public. How the districts were drawn in terms of political intentions, if they were indeed drawn for these reasons, will require some degree of political insight. A number of local groups have begun this analysis. Indeed, there is no doubt this expertise exists in Ukraine, and such information will certainly come to light. IFES, together with civil society partners, is itself working on a comprehensive technical analysis of the new districts which it hopes to release in the next week.
Another set of issues to watch relates to the formation of district and polling station election commissions, which are essentially the chief electoral bodies for their respective areas. This will take place by August 24, and September 26, respectively. Election commissioners in Ukraine, at each level of election administration, are chosen purely on a partisan basis. In other words: all commissioners are nominated by a political entity. Because of the number of registered parties in Ukraine, and the numbers expected to compete for these elections, places on these commissions will be at a premium.
Political factions already in the current parliament are guaranteed one place on each commission. With regards to the composition of the remainder of the commissions, there are a number of concerns. Instead of drawing lots from the entities competing in a district for the remainder of seats on the commission, on April 19 the Central Election Commission adopted a procedure whereby a single lottery will determine the ranking of political parties, which will then be used to fill each of the 225 district commissions around the country. This practice is contrary to an earlier IFES recommendation, as we believed separate lotteries for each district race should have been held. Each contestant to each electoral contest should have equal chance to gain the open positions on the presiding electoral commission. Should a party unfortunately draw near the bottom of the list in the lottery, they may lose any chance of getting even one of the 225 district commissions anywhere in the country. Drawing near the top gives them a high probability of membership or increased membership in every commission.
Also, the timeframe for submission of the candidates for membership in the commissions is very tight – three days. If there are any mistakes in the submission, the nominating party or candidate is informed and must file a corrected submission the very next day or an application is rejected. However, the manner in which parties and candidates are informed of such decisions is not clearly defined by the law. If a political entity misses the slim deadline because they did not learn until later that there was an issue with their submission, this is potentially an unfair practice. Should it be systemic, it could result in significant underrepresentation of certain parties and candidates on the commissions.
In terms of electoral administration, I should start by saying the Central Election Commission of Ukraine has an unenviable task. Training up to half a million election commissioners in a matter of a few weeks would be a difficult charge for any country. While organizations like IFES are willing partners of the election commission and will contribute some technical advice in planning, design and execution of training programs, overall, the burden of responsibility falls on the commission, itself.. The Central Election Commission will also face a significant challenge in educating voters on changed voting procedures. Again, IFES and other members of the international community can be of assistance here, but ultimate responsibility will rest with the election commission.
Another challenge is that the commission will be overburdened with tasks in the upcoming months – it has to register candidates in each of the 225 single-member districts and the national party lists for the national district, accredit thousands of local and international nonpartisan observers, and thousands more candidates, party proxies and observers. Recently the election commission responded to this challenge through draft amendments to the parliamentary law, seeking to transfer some of its obligations to the district election commissions. However, experts do not believe this will prove successful. Understandably, there is resistance to further amending the legal framework so soon before an election.
Beyond mere logistical challenges, we must remember that in Ukraine election commissions are de facto not independent from political influence as they are formed by the political entities whose interests they represent on the commission. Such a concern has been raised by international organizations that observed previous elections, such as the OSCE/ODIHR. This issue is of crucial importance as commissions in Ukraine have a legal function to adjudicate certain types of election challenges and disputes; essentially deciding for or against a political entity's interests is arguably better served with a certain degree of neutrality.
Finally, I would point to a few additional issues to be cognizant of in the upcoming campaign and election. First, is the possibility that voters will be able to use the option in Ukraine of voting in their current temporary location to strategically change their polling place. This was a potential problem that IFES highlighted in its analysis of the draft law and should be closely monitored. In this regard it is worth noting that the system of voting in place, of temporary stay, bears a similarity to the absentee ballot system that was a major source of fraud during the 2004 Presidential elections.
Second, concerns the commonly recognized phenomenon that all major political entities receive financial and other support from Ukraine's wealthiest benefactors – a factor in perpetuating the corruption that is one of the hallmarks of political life in Ukraine. However, the legal framework does little to regulate or bring transparency to such relationships. The new parliamentary election law requires only the most basic level of disclosure and leaves ample room for campaign costs to be hidden as third party expenditures or services in-kind. Furthermore, discrepancies between the election law and the law on political parties make it easy for candidates to conceal both the sources of their funding and the full extent of their spending by funnelling it through political parties.
Third, Election Day, itself, may well be complicated by unwieldy procedures that ought to be clarified by the Central Election Commission in advance of the election; and of course, the ever present possibilities of abuse of state resources, vote buying schemes and other illegal practices that can thrive with impunity under a weak system of law enforcement.
Let me conclude by stating what the international community, including the United States, could do to support consolidation of democracy in Ukraine through a transparent, competitive and credible election this October.
First, do not take your eye off ball now. It is understandable that organizations such as IFES, NDI, IRI and others who are deeply invested in electoral and political reform perhaps put greater priority on these developments in countries like Ukraine, and for a longer period of time. But now we are less than six months from Election Day. Over the next few months important developments will take place that will surely tell us just how transparent, credible and evenly contested these elections might be. Today's testimony has given you only highlights of some concerns; many others will be seen in the upcoming weeks and months, and I urge you all to stay focused on these concerns.
To this end, it is of course vital for the U.S. and the larger international community to support nonpartisan observation efforts. We must pay close attention to and respond to electoral administration needs and help non-partisan human rights organizations, NGOs and media outlets have meaningful access to needed resources – especially through statements from entities such as your own, that continue to show that the U.S. is supportive of a democratic, free and fair election in Ukraine.
Second, I urge you to not take your eye off the ball later. Ukraine fatigue in the West has correlated positively with the government's recidivism with respect to human rights, obvious aggressions towards political rivals and efforts to solidify the hold on power. For our part, IFES has and will continue to advocate for improved democratic electoral legislation and practices, and compliance with international standards and best practices, but with an understanding of nuances and particularities of the country. We hope that the U.S. will continue to value and advocate for the continued role of international organizations like IFES, the Venice Commission and others to their Ukrainian counterparts.
Despite issues or concerns raised today, I would say that we certainly do not know what the outcome of these elections will be. But however the conduct – and whatever the outcome – it will be necessary to continue to engage Ukraine. Performance in the elections will determine in large part just how that engagement may take shape.
Thank you for the opportunity to testify today and I am happy to answer any questions you may have.

Clogged pores, also known as comedones, can be a precursor to bigger skin problems, most notably acne. Comedones are hair follicle pores that are obstructed by dead skin cells and an oily substance called sebum.
Thankfully, there are ways to treat clogged pores. The key is a cleansing regimen with ingredients that focus on unclogging the pore like salicylic acid, retinoids, and AHAs. Always check with your dermatologist.
Clogged pores, also known as comedones, can be a precursor to bigger skin problems, most notably acne. Comedones are simply hair follicle pores that are obstructed by dead skin cells and an oily substance called sebum. Sebum is a sticky, oily substance produced by sebaceous glands that line the hair follicle. It normally keeps skin moist and supple, but too much sebum can cause problems too.
When the sebaceous glands produce too much sebum, it blocks off the pore opening and dead skin cells and other debris accumulate causing a blockage. If the clogged pore becomes infected or inflamed, it can lead to the familiar papules and pustules we know of as acne. At other times, pores can be obstructed without becoming inflamed. In this case, they appear as blackheads or whiteheads on the surface of the skin. All occurrences are considered unsightly and unpleasant, which is why there's so much focus on treating them.
Clogged pores are usually caused by the overproduction of sebum. Sebum has the useful purpose of providing the oils needed to keep skin well moisturized. But when sebum production goes into overdrive, it can cause comedones and, even worse, acne. Excess production of sebum is often triggered by hormonal changes. That's why clogged pores and acne are so common in adolescents as their hormone levels fluctuate around puberty.
According to research, some people have larger sebaceous glands. This predisposes them to comedones and acne. People with clogged pores and acne usually also have a rapid build-up of skin cells around follicles that causes them to become blocked. In addition, there's a genetic component to clogged pores and acne. It runs in families to some degree.
Fortunately, there are ways to treat clogged pores and reduce blackheads, whiteheads and acne. Start by cleansing skin twice a day with a mild cleanser, but never use an abrasive cleanser or hot water. This can irritate skin and increase sebum production. Choose a cleanser which contains salicylic acid. This will allow for a deep cleanse without irritating the skin or stimulating excess oil production. The cleanser will help slough off surface skin cells that can clog pores. Salicyclic acid is a proven effective treatment for comedones.
Follow up by applying a mattifier to oily areas and areas with comedones. Choose one that contains salicyclic acid along with ingredients that ease irritation, clarify skin and reduce pore size. Your pores will look visibly smaller after using this type of product consistently.
Many cosmetic products contain ingredients that can clog pores and worsen comedones. Always look for skin care products and make-up that is marked "non-comedogenic" clearly on the label. There is a long list of cosmetic ingredients that can trigger comedones. Learn to recognize them when choosing products you apply to your skin.
In more severe cases, especially when acne is also a problem, comedones can be treated with prescription-strength topical retinoids such as Retin-A. Retinoids help to increase the rate that surface skin cells are shed, and it reduces their tendency to stick together. This diminishes pore obstruction. Unfortunately, many people cannot tolerate topical retinoids because of redness and skin irritation. That is why it is a good idea to try products containing salicyclic acid first. They may cause mild skin irritation but not to the same degree as retinoids.
If you have clogged pores and comedones, avoid wearing hats, scarves or helmets that touch your face, and don't pick at your skin. This will only make the problem worse and can trigger acne outbreaks.
Clogged pores are a common problem in adolescents, teens and adults. Fortunately, there are treatments such as salicyclic acid that can make comedones far less of a problem.

If you are in search of the best skin possible, commit to one of Murad's fine regimens customized for your skin type or concerns. A comprehensive routine including the basics as well as treatment products will help you achieve and maintain beautiful and healthy skin. While you may be using your daily products consistently, throwing in a specialized weekly or twice weekly treatment can help give your skin a boost and allow other products in your skin care routine to perform better. Murad Masks are designed to complement your existing skin care routine by giving your skin an extra treat in between daily products.
Murad Masks saturate the skin in high quality ingredients for a short period of time so that the skin can receive maximum benefits. All of the Murad Masks are pampering products which allow you to enjoy a spa service in your own bathroom. The skin is prepped and primed for active ingredients found in your treatment products. If you feel that your skin needs a little extra help, turn to Murad Masks in order to wake up your complexion and achieve the best possible results from your daily skin care regime.
All skin is different and requires various ingredients when it comes to skin care. Murad Masks cater to the skin's specific needs. When adding a treatment mask to your routine, be sure to choose one that is catered to your skin type and concerns.
Many people report feeling like their skin is dull and lifeless. Sometimes the skin needs an extra boost outside of daily skin care products. Murad Pomegranate Exfoliating Mask contains fruit enzymes as well as alpha hydroxy acids in order to purify and resurface the skin. This mask contains real pomegranate extract which is an excellent source of antioxidants, protective ingredients which help guard against cellular damage. In just minutes once or twice a week, the Murad Pomegranate Exfoliating Mask can restore radiance and luster to the skin. It is a great tool for balancing skin that is classified as combination meaning there is a tendency for oiliness in the T-zone area and dry patches on the cheeks. Botanical extracts help to sooth and calm, reducing inflammation and redness.
Oily, blemish prone skin can really benefit from a regular purifying mask which clears the pores and deep cleans. Murad Clarifying Masque contains natural clay which draws impurities out of the pores and the surface of the skin. The formula helps to unclog the pores and speed the healing of breakouts. Zinc combined with botanical extracts provides a soothing and calming effect to prevent irritation and reduce the redness and inflammation that often accompany breakouts. The formula also contains antioxidants from grape seeds in order to protect the skin and prevent damage.

State's test-prep efforts get an F
1 2 3 Next page >
Ten years ago, English Language Arts teachers used to speak of inspiring their students to become lifelong readers and lovers of the written word. They encouraged students to discover literature through their favorite authors and genres. Reading was supposed to be a magical experience that transported young people to new worlds. Excitement was the reading teacher's buzzword.
The concept was simple: If students could latch onto reading and writing with a passion, then they would likely continue reading and writing –– and learning –– for a lifetime, whether they attended college or not.
Meanwhile, math teachers used to speak of applying mathematics to real-life situations, like creating budgets, balancing checkbooks or plotting mileage between points A, B and C. Yes, students were expected to move on to higher-order math concepts. But math was supposed to begin with everyday situations. Fun was the math teacher's buzzword.
Flash-forward 10 years. Teachers and students now face a daunting array of new standards that federal and state education officials say are geared toward preparing all students for college and work. Universities and employers have for too long complained that students are finishing high school wholly unprepared for the demands of higher education and the workplace. And so the Common Core State Standards were born.
According to the website corestandards.org, the Common Core State Standards Initiative "is a state-led effort that established a single set of clear educational standards for kindergarten through 12th grade in English language arts and mathematics that states voluntarily adopt. The standards are designed to ensure that students graduating from high school are prepared to enter credit-bearing entry courses at two- or four-year colleges or enter the workforce." States began adopting the standards in 2010.
Education officials in New York and Kentucky raced to implement Common Core, and this past year they completely reworked their English Language Arts and mathematics exams for grades three to eight to reflect the new standards.

This generation of children must be able to feel confident enough to take the test and pass it. The parents need to be able to help them prepare for it. I would love to see what these tests look like. Copies of these tests should be available for teachers and parents to view so they have a better uderstanding of what the children need to prepare for. The teachers need to know what areas the kids need help in so they can prepare them for future testing. My next question is, why are we subjecting our kids to these tests, without a better understanding of what these test scores really mean or prove. Who saya our kids are failing if they don't pass these exams? What does the state know when it comes to children. The teachers have a better understanding then anyone.

I have been an educator for over 30 years. Teaching has become dull and all I see are stressed out teachers and students. I am glad my own children are at the end of their school careers and I am ready to retire. The curriculum as I see it is moving too quickly for little brains to absorb. When kindergarteners don't have time to play, we are doing our children a great disservice. I also question the integrity of a test that students can opt out from. How is any of this helpful to our children and how does it affect the accountability of our teachers? I doubt there are educators making decisions on how to educate our children but I am certain professional testing companies are the only ones to benefit.

A Q&A with the insiders behind your favorite brands.
Jan Marini
President and CEO
Jan Marini Skin Research, Inc.
Jan Marini is a respected international skin care authority who has dedicated more than three decades to researching and developing new and innovative scientifically based skin care technologies. Jan pioneered medically validated skin care preparations and has formed associations with some of the world's leading physicians and research scientists.
I've been a product researcher for over 35 years. In the beginning, my expertise was in ingredients and how they function in products. I lectured to the medical community and also did TV and radio. Consumers love to know which ingredients really work and which don't! As time went on, I developed associations with researchers, scientists and physicians and began focusing on uncovering and identifying breakthrough technologies. My pioneering work with Glycolic Acid in the 1980's led me to found my first skin care company.
The JMSR Skin Care Management System is really the "star" focal point of our line. The system is comprised of a number of exceptional and medically and clinically validated topical agents that comprehensively address common skin concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles and skin texture, acne, rosacea and skin discoloration.
I'm no different than anyone else. I want real solutions that prevent and address skin concerns. I don't want adult acne or rosacea. I don't want brown spots or a dull or course texture. I want healthy, young, vibrant and glowing skin. I want young looking hair and eyelashes. Finding solutions has always been my inspiration to develop and market real technological "firsts." It is incredibly rewarding to hear from individuals who have overcome seemingly hopeless skin issues.
As far as skin care, I only use my own products. And, I am certain that my skin would look very different if I didn't But, I love color cosmetics and I probably own every Bobbi Brown matte lipstick color she makes. They are the best!
Anyone can wildly speculate about fantastical breakthroughs. However, what we do know is that there is a lot of emerging technology that will be able to topically stimulate many factors and processes that will enable facial skin to look like it did before years of cumulative sun exposure. Peptides are constantly evolving and more and different peptides are being discovered which may have the ability to "turn off" certain aging genes. Growth factors and Autologous stem cells are also promising. In any case, the future of topical skin care looks very bright.
Dry lips are a common complaint. Always rub any facial product into your lips as well. That means resurfacing products, anti-aging products, moisturizers and especially, sunscreen. Your lips will feel far less dry and they will look younger, softer, fuller and healthier.
UVA sun exposure is as strong in the winter as the summer. Always wear sunscreen. 95% of the appearance of aging is cumulative sun exposure. Follow me on Twitter at @JanMarini.
Retinol Plus: For serious skin rejuvenation. Includes a high percentage of Retinol with little or no acclimation. With an unprecedented concentration of anti-aging and anti-inflammatory technologies, the products deliver results beyond prescription or non-prescription options.
Enlighten Plus: Dramatic solution for skin discoloration. A non-hydroquinone alternative that is equal to or more effective than prescription lightening options without side effects. Provides remarkable results for all skin types, skin colors and ethnicities.
Duality: Breakthrough solution for both acne and aging. Duality is a topically innovative concept that provides a "marriage" of two medically validated "gold standard" topical agents. Provides serious acne control and dramatic anti-aging benefits, without dryness, for every age and skin type.
