Pamper Session with Body Shop Seaweed Iconic Clay Mask
I think everyone knows by now how much I love and I am obsessed with anything and everything BODY SHOP.
I have been using the Seaweed Iconic Clay Mask for a while and my skin absolutely loves it.
I have really oily skin, so this mask has become part of my weekly pamper sessions at home. It has helped reduce the oiliness.
The mask really has a mud-like consistency, which I love. It is dark grey in colour and has little grainy textures. I love how my skin feels after using it – fresh and clean. This mask left my skin feeling softer, brighter and healthier. I would advise moisturising after washing it off.
The smell is amazing!! It has an ocean like fragrance…I love the ocean so this is amazing for me.
This is perfect for days when you feel like you are in need of a proper pamper session and I use it all the time when I have a girlfriend over for wine and movie nights.

Product Recommendation
Seaweed ionic clay mask
With my oils breakout prone skin this mask has been a life saver, it really draws out impurities and leaves you skin felling clean and pampered.
It is a thick consistency and goes onto the skin very easily, it dries stiff and is washed off quite easily with warm water.
This is definitely a must have if your skin is oily and prone to breakouts, i love it and the price is also very affordable at just R170.00
Product Recommendation
For your pamper evening needs!
I love TBS face masks! This tub retails for R155 (and I would suggest purchasing it during their fab sales! ) ..
I have been using this mask for over 3 months now ...and there is still so much in the tub, so a little goes a long way! It has a thick consistency ,so wipe it all over the face and neck (use a brush for an extra pampering feel ;)... )
It has a muddy-blue-brown colour to the paste and when applied, it dries stiff. You do not peel it off but rather wash your face after use.
I love the smell of this as it has a very "cold" ocean kind of smell. I have combo/oily skin and this works perfectly with any pimples forming/formed. It helps to reduce oiliness and I feel it really does do this! Moisturise after use , to rehydrate the skin.
It helps to clean the face of all the impurities and leave your skin feeling so soft and smooth. (note It doesn't help with blackheads )
Even though it states it is for oily/combo skin, I think it would be okay for everyone to use.
Product Recommendation
Seaweed Iconic Clay Mask
I have very oily skin and it tends to break-out very easily, after buying the Body shop Tea Tree oil set for combination/oily skin. I decided to buy this mask to compliment the products and its actually an amazing product. You can feel the results immediately after you wash it off.
I have quite large pores and it felt as if they where slightly tightened after application of the product.
I highly recommend this product.
Product Recommendation
Clay and Seaweed Mask
The Body Shop's Clay and Seaweed mask is my latest beauty find and oh how glorious it is. I've heard of lots of people that go for clay or bud masks/baths to enhance the longevity and beauty of their skin.
Having a puppy who loves to give beeeeg sloppy kisses is great for the soul but it's taxing on the skin. It especially leaves me (from time to time) with the odd break out or two. Which is how my skin was feeling when I went out looking for a detoxing mask.
So as is my usual beauty regime, I steamed my face and gently exfoliated then slathered on some clay and seaweed mask onto my clean visage.
It started to dry quickly and within 10 minutes my skin was feeling tight as the clay dried up altogether. I could feel the algae extracts and the clay doing its thing.
What's next? Wash off the clay and moisturise as usual.
I have dry skin on a good day so I slathered on some hydrated moisturiser because a detox or clay mask will draw out all the toxins and excess oil with it. The last thing you want is a toxin free DRY face. Nosireebob.
This mask left my skin feeling softer, brighter and healthier. I felt the difference over the next week and other people saw it too.
The result:
– Smaller pores
– Softer skin
– Brighter complexion
I will definitely be using this treat once a month to detoxify. Give it a try yourself. At R155 per 100ml at The Body Shop Stores, it's a steal.
TBS Ionic Clay Mask
I recently received a voucher from The Body Shop and I decided to pick up a face mask. During winter, my skin dries up but still manages to stay oily in my t-zone (forehead and nose) area. The consultant at The Body Shop recommended this because it is for oily/combination skin.
When I opened this in store, I immediately put it back down. The smell was really over powering. As you can tell by the name, this mask smells like seaweed. I then gave it a second chance and the smell was not too bad. Its just a bit different to what I usually expect from a face mask. I ended up getting the mask because The Body Shop was having a 20% off special on everything in the store. That plus my voucher made this mask affordable.
The mask is grey in color but dries white on your face. It tightens up on your face quite a bit. It is a clay mask so if you do not like masks that makes it impossible for you to smile, you will not like this product. I left this mask on for about 10 minutes (The Body Shop recommends that you leave it on for 10-15 minutes) and then removed it by wetting a makeup sponge and gently wiping my face. I could instantly see that my face looked a lot less oily in my t-zone area but still moisturized. My skin felt softer and it didn't react to the mask at all.
I would recommend this product if you suffer from combination/oily skin but if you are not a fan of the smell of the ocean then you wouldn't like this product at all.
I hope everyone had a good weekend!
Living in Durban the humidity plays havoc with oily skin, more so in summer. Most masks designed to target excess oil for oily skin didn't seem to work for me - after using them I couldn't see or feel in difference in any way. Then I found the Seaweed Iconic Clay mask and it really does wonders. First of all a little bit of it is all you need to smooth over your face in a thin layer, it isn't necessary to glop huge amounts of it over your face and neck for it to work. I've been using it twice a week for 7 weeks now and the product is not even half way finished so it's good value for money. In addition to that, after using it my skin is not oily at all and feels clean and fresh without any tightness. Regular use has smoothed out problem areas, and new blemishes have dried out after one application. One aspect though that you must keep in mind is that exposure to air can dry it out really quickly so ensure the lid is firmly screwed closed after every use or you'll be left with a lump of rock. From all the masks I've tried this is truly the best I've found for oily skin. I highly recommend this mask and you can purchase it at The Body Shop for R110.
The Body Shop - Seaweed Iconic Clay Mask
I was so sad when I finished my TBS Tea Tree mask 2 weeks ago. That 100ml tub lasted me well over a year and it works like a dream. So I decided to try the Seaweed range and I wasn't disappointed at all.
Firstly the smell is great, its clean and refreshing. You only need a little as it goes a long way, like I said my previous one lasted me well over 1 year. I kept it on for 15 mins and my skin felt so clean. This mask sucks out all the yucky oil and dirt and the feeling of cleanliness is amazing. Its perfect for combination to oily skin types.
This retails for R120 at TBS and its such a bargain buy as it will last forever.
Ionic clay mask
I love this seaweed range from the Body Shop and this mask is ideal for weekly use- The tub retails for R120 and is worth it= I got 2 applications from the lid alone before delving into the actual tub! Well worth it if you add how much individual masks cost! Plus the tubs is useful when it is empty to make your own scrubs etc.

Comic-Hypnotist Flip Orley has devoted the last 13 years to developing one of the nation's most sought after one man shows. Combining stand-up comedy with his unique style of stage hypnosis. Flip explores the creativity and imagination within the subconscious minds of his volunteers. The Los Angeles Times says, "The beauty of Orley's show is that, because most of the humor comes from the volunteers, no two performances are alike." The Dallas Morning News states, "It's difficult to remain skeptical after seeing Flip transform a panel of well behaved audience members into a family of trailer-park dwellers form Arkansas, Southern drawl and all." Flip has been on Comic Strip Live, The Ricki Lake Show, and Maury Povich Show. Come and see what people are talking about; come and see Flip Orley. Sleep has never been so funny!

Scheduling in Wireless Networks Under Uncertainties: A Greedy Primal-Dual Approach
This paper proposes a dynamic primal-dual type algorithm to solve the optimal scheduling problem in wireless networks subject to uncertain parameters, which are generated by stochastic network processes such as random packet arrivals, channel fading, and node mobilities. The algorithm is a generalization of the well-known max-weight scheduling algorithm proposed by Tassiulas et al., where only queue length information is used for computing the schedules when the arrival rates are uncertain. Using the technique of fluid limits, sample path convergence of the algorithm to an arbitrarily close to optimal solution is proved, under the assumption that the Strong Law of Large Numbers (SLLN) applies to the random processes which generate the uncertain parameters.

Genetic and Plastic Responses of a Northern Mammal to Climate Change

Climate change is predicted to be most severe in northern regions and there has been much interest in to what extent organisms can cope with these changes through phenotypic plasticity or microevolutionary processes. A red squirrel population in the southwest Yukon, Canada, faced with increasing spring temperatures and food supply has advanced the timing of breeding by 18 days over the last 10 years (6 days per generation). Longitudinal analysis of females breeding in multiple years suggests that much of this change in parturition date can be explained by a plastic response to increased food abundance (3.7 days per generation). Significant changes in breeding values (0.8 days per generation), were in concordance with predictions from the breeder's equation (0.6 days per generation), and indicated that an evolutionary response to strong selection favouring earlier breeders also contributed to the observed advancement of this heritable trait. The timing of breeding in this population of squirrels, therefore, has advanced as a result of both phenotypic changes within generations, and genetic changes among generations in response to a rapidly changing environment.

As a beautiful and talented actress, Sophie Turner has rocketed to fame thanks to her "Game of Thrones" gig, and now she's featured on the front page of the July 2016 issue of InStyle UK.
It's been almost fifteen years since the original "The Fast and the Furious" flick was released and now fans will get another opportunity to see it on the big screen.
The massively-popular movie will hit theaters next month for a limited nationwide run, taking everyone back to the genesis of the blockbuster franchise.
She has the voice of an angel and the grace of a queen, yet even Adele manages to make mistakes from time to time.
During her performance in Lisbon, Portugal, the "Send My Love (To Your New Lover)" lady flubbed the lyrics to her lovely ditty "Million Years Ago," and instead of glossing over it, she called herself out.
She's always been a lover of creatures big and small, and Gisele Bundchen just put her support behind a new United Nations campaign to help animals.
The stunning supermodel is helping to launch the United Nations Environment Program "Wild For Life," designed to stop worldwide poaching.
He's one of the most-awarded artists in the pop music game today, and yet Justin Bieber can't figure out how he feels about big awards shows.
Last night (May 25) the "All That Matters" singer listed his slew of nominations for the 2016 Teen Choice Awards via Twitter before adding, "Thanks @TeenChoiceFOX."
A man has been killed and three injured in a shooting at rapper T.I.'s concert in New York on Wednesday night (25May16).
The Live Your Life rapper was due to go on stage at the Irving Plaza venue in New York City when shots were fired around 10.15pm local time in the third floor green room area backstage. Opening acts Maino and Uncle Murda were performing at the time and T.I. was in the building.
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are heading for divorce.
The actress has filed to end the couple's one-year marriage, citing irreconcilable differences and asking for spousal support.
She's been having a banner year thus far, and Selena Gomez just landed the front page of the June 2016 issue of Vogue Brazil.
The "Come and Get It" songstress posted an excited message to her Twitter account on Tuesday (May 24) to let her followers know the good news- "My first cover for @voguebroficial with @louisvuitton."

Again, thanks for this wonderful plugin !
I would like to report 2 difficulties to manage the persona / files names.
1 - A person called "Paul Henry NAME" will have his page named "Paul HenryNAME" (without space between "Henry" and "NAME"). One would prefer "Paul Henry NAME" instead, easier to read.
2 - Accentuated letters are very common here in France (é, è, ç, ...), but they are skipped when creating the person page : "Jérémie NAME" becomes "JrmieNAME" which is not that nice ! I understand that accentuated letters are not suitable for file names, maybe turning them to non accentuated letters would be a first step (like Jeremie NAME) ?

As with most HF tools this one needs a little tweaking. For the price however I fully expect to make adjustements, and this one needs only minor upgrades. that said, this tool is great!!! Brake bleading, oil changes, bad fuel exchanges in small engines. No more drain pans....ever. Transmission draining through the dipstick hole so when the pan is removed it doesnt spill. Its portable. charge the tank and take it to location. I have two of these, one for oils and one for everything else. Drain the radiator through the fill spout on most cars. easy to empty whe it full. Change Oil in boats witch can be a pain if its an I/O. Its realy great tool.

The main benefits of this unit is the cost and the fact that it does the job decent enough. Other than that it has a cheap overall feel to the build quality and functionality of the pneumatic attachments. As someone already mentioned there are no parts available if any single component fails. This unit also does not come with a self extracting valve on the bottom like other units on the market, so if your shop has this setup to quickly and cleanly empty an evacuator, you would not be able to use that with this particular unit from Central Pneumatic. I would not recommend this unit to anyone except for an occasional hobbyist or DIYer as there are much better units available for $100 more that will last longer and has replacement parts available.

About Me Professional
Comments about Pittsburgh Automotive 6.25 gal. Oil Extractor:
I had my doubts about this thing, but it was just what I needed to remove hydraulic fluid from a leaking scissor lift. I want you to know it worked fine and did just what I needed it to. Not only that, it didn't leak a drop nor made a mess. It is easy to move as it is on wheels. I believe I will be finding many more uses for it now. You won't be disappointed.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Makes oil changes a snap!
By Pat
from Las Vegas, NV
About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
I use this on my two Mercedes automobiles, a 1999 SLK 230 and a 1999 SL 500. Directions are straight forward and easy to follow. Combined, these cars require 14 quarts of oil. This extractor has the capacity to handle both with room to spare. I love the fact that I no longer have to get under the cars, remove body work underneath, and deal with the mess of draining oil. No oily rags, tools, and spots on my driveway! The only small negative is that you have to buy a male fitting for the unit to fit your compressor hose fitting. The one provided is N/G. This extractor is the no-mess and thorough way to do an oil change. It will pay for itself in two changes.
Good extractor
By Sportbiker
from Tn
I use this extractor daily. It works well. I do recommend getting a valve for the inlet air supply as it will control vacuum better and quicker.
Does what it says on the tin
By BP
from Nashville, TN
You may need to make your own adapter hose for certain models. Comes with a couple extra adapters to use for such a purpose. Transmissions, transfer cases, differentials just got a whole lot easier.

Works exactly as advertized
By Al
from Virginia by Washington D.C.
So, I've been looking at this for a long time, and finally got around to buying one with a 20% off coupon. As you will read in many of the reviews, It does come with a nonstandard Compressor coupler. Dry your eyes, blow your nose and get over it. Just go down to the local hardware store and get a replacement brass coupling with a three eights inch Male to male adapter.Pulled it right out-of-the-box-about 99% assembled. After doing a quick read of the instructions and replacing the coupler, hooked it up to the compressor and fired it up. An interesting note-the vacuum can be set with a pancake compressor! You may have to run two to do it, but pick can be done. Once the vacuum was set, ran the hose down the dipstick and turned the valve. It took less than three minutes to suck up 5 quarts of oil, with plenty of vacuum to spare.The biggest reason I bought this, Was because I own a Subaru outback, and the oil filter it Is located on top of the engine. I will probably never have to get underneath the car ever again to change the oil!The best part is, for the price, it will pay for itself after five oil changes!

The secret to a long lasting vehicle....fluid exchanges.
By Auto Tech
from Denville, NJ
Wow...I investigated different fluid exchangers and watched automotive videos on using fluid exchangers and even shopped for best price and then decided on the Pittsburgh Automotive 6 gallon metal tank exchanger. Could not be happier with their product, price and convenience of purchasing this product from Harbor Freight. Exchanging trans fluid, power steering fluid and differential fluids are very important to having your car last as long as it can and costing you less as it gets older. The product works very well and is very easy to use.
Have owned this for about four years now
By JP
from Austin
Works fantastic. Oil must be warm but that is true any time you change oil. The fitting on the tank is non standard so make sure you pick up a standard fitting to fit your air hose coupler. The suction hose gets yellow over time. Works as asvertised and really is one of my better tools purchased at HF.
Works great
By Dave
from New Mexico
I use this to extract fluids from transmissions, differentials, gearboxes, and it works great, I'm very happy with this product.
What a nice suprise
By Buckstersdad
from Princeton, WV
I seldom if ever participate in reviews but I frequently use them to guide my purchases so I finally decided to do my share and contribute. I purchased this extractor after going to an independent Mercedes repair and watching them use an extractor on their customer's cars. I am accustomed to crawling under the vehicles and wrenching the pan plug, splashing the oil out of the container when I pull the pan out, dropping the plug in the pan and usually making an overall mess.I followed the startup instructions and I needed to change the air inlet connector to fit a quick disconnect from my compressor. Other reviews complain about this also. I had one on hand so it wasn't a big inconvenience. Once I started to draw a vacuum @ 90psi I was only able to get about 1/2 way into the range of vacuum. I was concerned that I wouldn't have enough to draw out the complete capacity of my Suzuki SX4. 4qts.The dipstick diameter on my car required me to use the smallest tube. I thought this would therefore take quite a long time to suck out. Much to my amazement it took only 2 or 3 minutes and when I measured how much oil required to replace to the full mark on the dipstick it showed that I removed all of the crankcase worth. So the bottom line is that this thing is the greatest addition to my tool selection in a long time. Didn't spill a drop. No bending and jack stands, and creeping, pouring into containers, mopping up, Nothing! I had plenty of vacuum to spare and I'm now anxious to try it on my Chevy Duramax with 10 qts. Just plan on changing out the air inlet fitting to a quick disconnect. 5 stars for me on this one. I will definitely recommend to my friends.

exceeded my expectations completely
By Austin
from Tampa, Florida
I had thought about buying a oil extractor for a few years. But mixed reviews stopped meI bought the extractor a couple days agounsure if what to expectToday I unboxed it, after changing out the oddly sized air connection to a 1/4 inch female adapter I put some engine flush into my trucks crank case ran an idled it for 10-15 mins I aired up the extractor to my surprise in under 5 mins it sucked all the oil out of crank case I mean every single drop. I pulled the drain plug not line drop came out Not One I thought for sure there would be at some oil in the oil filterI pulled the filter Not one drop of oil came out Not one. The filter mount looked as though someone had wiped it cleanI was shockedThe extractor was well worth $119.00 I paid after a 25% off online Harbor Freight emailed meI will recommend the extractor to any DIY'er I know I bought 3 more today as gifts for friends n family i will never drain oil or fluids thru a drain plug ever again Yes I will pull the drain plug to check for anything unusual

Doctors Advise Bobby Brown to Take Bobbi Kristina Off Life Support
Bobby Brown has been informed by Bobbi Kristina's doctors that there's nothing else they can do, and he's been advised to take his daughter off life support.
Bobby Brown has been informed by Bobbi Kristina's doctors that there's nothing else they can do, and he's been advised to take his daughter off life support.
Whitney Houston's daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, was found unresponsive in a bathtub in her home in Roswell, Ga., on Saturday (Jan. 31).
This is a huge weekend for Angela Bassett and Lifetime. "Whitney" will premiere at 7 p.m. Saturday (Jan. 17) on Lifetime, and I got a leaked scene from the movie to share with you.
On Tuesday night Angela Bassett premiered the Whitney Houston's biopic, but Whitney's family was a no-show.
It seems the smoke is still clearing at the Lifetime network, after the horrible reviews its Aaliyah biopic received, but that didn't stop executives from rolling out the trailer for their next TV biopic, 'Whitney,' which documents the career of the late R&B icon Whitney Houston.
Sit back and get ready to shake your head (and occasionally cover your eyes) at 30 Awkward Style Moments in R&B.
If you've heard Sam Smith's 'Stay With Me' on the radio recently, you already know he has one gorgeous voice. His incredible cover of Whitney Houston's 'How Will I Know' just confirms it.
Jennifer Hudson knows a thing or two about charity. She founded the Julian D. King Gift Foundation with her sister after all. So when the people behind Pinoy Relief, an initiative that provides aid to the victims of Typhoon Haiyan, asked her to sing at their show last night (March 11) at the Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City, she not only said yes but brought the crowd to their feet with her powerfully emotional performance.
Soul icons Aretha Franklin and Patti LaBelle were saluted at the Women of Soul event in Washington, D.C., as part of the annual 'In Performance at the White House' series. R&B songstresses Jill Scott, Janelle Monae and Ariana Grande were among the performers singing classic soul tunes.
Do you remember this singer/songwriter/actress, Ms. Tracie Spencer? She began singing when she was just 5and if you remember she was introduced to the world when she sang the iconic Whitney Houston's 'How Will I Know' on Star Search in the late '80s. Capitol Records signed her after that performance, making her the youngest female artist to sign a record deal.
Though she is no longer with us, Whitney Houston stills holds the title of having one of the greatest singing voices the world has ever heard. This video shows exactly how great that voice was. With her vocals isolated, this will let nothing get in the way of Whitney's talent.
It is official, Bobbi Kristina and Nick Gordon are husband and wife. Bobbi tweeted the pic below of the happy couple's hands with the caption: #Happily Married...

Here you'll find answers to your most commonly-asked questions relating to:
What makes USC Dornsife different from the other schools I've been admitted to?
USC Dornsife offers a unique opportunity to experience a true liberal arts education while also enjoying the expansive resources of a major research university. Students engage in scholarly debate with their peers, pursue a myriad of diverse interests across the spectrum of academic disciplines, and forge strong teacher-student relationships with Dornsife faculty, all while enjoying the vibrant campus life of USC.
When can I register for classes?
Whoa, slow down! You won't need to register for classes until you attend Orientation this summer.
Will someone help me pick my classes?
Professional academic advisors specific to each major work closely with students on a daily basis. Your academic advisor will help you plan your four years in USC Dornsife and answer any questions you have along the way.
Will my academic advisor help me prepare for law or medical school?
In addition to advisors for your major, USC Dornsife offers advisors for your pre-professional emphasis (Pre-Law, Pre-Health, Pre-Graduate School, etc.).
What if I am undecided on a major?
We have advisors who work specifically with undecided students (which, incidentally, is our most popular "major"). They will get to know you, discuss your interests, and help you create a schedule that exposes you to a number of academic disciplines in order to find a major you'll love.
What kinds of research opportunities are there for undergraduates?
Once you've found a topic you're passionate about, USC Dornsife will help fund your research. Our Dean's office provides up to $1,000 for research projects conducted in the fall or spring through SOAR (Student Opportunities for Academic Research) and up to $3,000 for research projects conducted in the summer through SURF (Summer Undergraduate Research Fund). Students also venture off-campus to conduct hands-on research on global problems through our Problems Without Passports program.
To learn more about undergraduate research opportunities in USC Dornsife, click here.
I'm not from California. Will the transition be tough for me?
You're not alone! About half the student body at USC is from outside of California, and we are proud to boast perhaps the most diverse student population in the United States. You will be surrounded by students from every corner of the globe, and all of you will make the transition into USC and Los Angeles together. Even native Californians stay on-campus most weekends because there is so much to do, so it will be a new experience for everyone.
What is the food like on campus?
There are three residential college cafeteria-style eateries (Cafe 84, Parkside, and Everybody's Kitchen [EVK]) that offer all-you-can-eat, self-serve food. But after several weeks of that, you might want more variety. There are a number restaurants on campus, including Panda Express, The Habit Burger Grill, California Pizza Kitchen, Lemonade, and Seeds Marketplace, to name a few. Many students purchase meal plans that include "dining dollars," which is money specifically designated for use at the non-cafeteria eateries.
What's the best place to live as a freshman?
Maybe the suite-style of Fluor Tower sounds good to you. Maybe you would like to live close to Everybody's Kitchen (EVK) in a residence hall like New or North Residential College. Or perhaps the diverse environment provided by the Parkside International Residential College sounds most exciting to you.
The short answer is that there is no "best" when it comes to housing. To figure out what is best for you, spend some time reading about and taking virtual tours of the different facilities on campus on the USC Housing website, located here.
How do students typically get around the campus?
Many students skateboard or bike; however, you don't need a bike or board to get around. The campus is closed to automobile traffic, so it's very pedestrian-friendly. And it only takes about fifteen minutes to walk from one corner to the other (which you'll rarely have to do).
What kinds of study abroad programs are available?
The USC Office of Overseas Studies offers over 50 semester-long and year-long study abroad programs in 30 different countries. There are programs offered in Australia, Brazil, Chile, Egypt, Greece, Japan, Russia, South Africa and Taiwan, to name a few. While many require foreign language skills, there are 27 programs that do not.
You can read more about study abroad here.
Are study abroad programs expensive?
Programs vary in cost, and all USC financial aid funds, including loans, grants, and scholarships, are applicable to USC-sponsored overseas studies programs.
Rather than having one single honors program, USC Dornsife offers a number of different honors opportunities so that students can choose how they would like to challenge themselves. Programs include Thematic Option, Freshman Science Honors Program, and honors programs in specific academic departments.
What is Thematic Option (T.O.)?
Through Thematic Option, students engage in an interdisciplinary, humanities-based honors alternative to the General Education program under themes rather than by discipline, and these small, challenging courses are both reading and writing intensive. If you absolutely love to read and write, then this program might be for you — if not, we recommend taking the more traditional approach through the regular General Education program.
Students are generally invited to apply to T.O., although any motivated and dedicated student who is interested may apply (even if you do not receive an invitation). Students may not apply before being admitted to the university. For more information on Thematic Option, click here.
What is Freshman Science Honors?
Through the Freshman Science Honors Program, students take advanced versions of their 1st-year General Chemistry and Introductory Biology courses in a small community of 60 students.
Students are generally invited to apply to Freshman Science Honors, but any motivated and dedicated student with a declared major in a natural science may apply. Applications are made available in the spring, after students have been admitted to USC. For more information relating to Freshman Science Honors, click here.
What are "Departmental Honors?"
Students may also engage in honors programs through their majors. Through many of these programs, students complete a formal research project by the end of senior year and receive a departmental honors designation on their transcripts. They must also maintain a minimum GPA and remain in good standing with student judicial affairs.
What advanced credit can I receive for Advanced Placement test scores?
USC awards 4 units of elective credit for most AP examinations with a score of 4 or 5. Some tests will satisfy Core requirements, while others will satisfy foreign language requirements or specific course requirements in certain majors. For detailed, up-to-date information regarding AP credit articulation, please visit the articulation website and read our official AP policy by clicking here.
What advanced credit can I receive for International Baccalaureate test scores?
USC grants either (1) 20 units of credit to students who earn the International Baccalaureate Diploma with a score of 30 or higher, or (2) 6 semester units of credit for each score of 5, 6 or 7 on IB Higher Level exams, up to a maximum of four exams, whichever is higher. No credit is earned for the Standard Level exams.
Elective credit is awarded by the Articulation Office upon receipt of official IB scores. In addition, a number of IB exams may fulfill USC subject requirements. Click here for information on USC credit for specific IB courses.
AP and IB Articulation is pretty complicated — will somebody help me figure it out?
Your academic advisor will be happy to help you navigate our AP and IB credit policies when you attend Orientation this summer.
Are there special visit programs for admitted students?
Yes, and we would love to see you at one of them! USC runs admitted student visit programs throughout the month of April, both on-campus and in various metropolitan areas around the world.
For more information, head to this website to read about the types of admitted student programs, and then visit you.usc.edu to make reservations!
When do I have to decide if USC is the school for me?
The National Decision Deadline Date is May 1st, so we would like you to let us know by then. However, if you make your decision before May 1st, you are more than welcome to accept our offer of admission early!
How do I commit to USC?
Visit you.usc.edu and submit your enrollment deposit. About 7-10 days after receiving your deposit, USC will send you information regarding Orientation, and you will be able to begin planning for your first semester at the University of Southern California.
What if I have questions that are less frequently asked than these?
Please feel free to call us at (213) 740-5930, or email us at email@example.com, with any questions or concerns you might have. Our office is open from 8:30am-5:00pm, Monday-Friday.

George Habash, the founder of the terrorist group known as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) died in Jordan at the age of 80, al-Jazeera reports.
Habash's group was notorious for the hijackings of several aircraft in the 1970s, which were subsequently blown up for added media impact. As one writer for the Economist noted after these jarring attacks, terrorism "succeeded in making ãPalestinian' an international household word." The Terrorism Knowledge Base has a full profile on the PFLP's history here.
Unfortunately, terrorism continues to define the Palestinian people. it is not their achievements but their violence that continues to make headlines even four decades after Habash's group first emerged. Where are the Palestinian proponents of nonviolence?

Expertise and Research Interests
My research interests are to determine the regulatory mechanism of cartilage development, especially endochondral ossification and to understand pathogenesis of joint diseases such as osteoarthritis. Recently we are focusing on Wnt signaling, which exerts critical roles in a variety of biological processes. We have demonstrated that a major Wnt pathway, beta-catenin-LEF/TCF dependent signaling is essential for progression of chondrocyte maturation during skeletal formation. Now we are investigating 1) how this signaling regulates cartilage matrix turn-over and its replacement to bone, 2) how this signaling interacts with other important pathways including retionid and BMP signaling and 3) whether this signaling is involved in pathological degeneration of articular cartilage in joints. We are also interesting in regulation of cytoskeletal structures of chondrocytes. We have found that Rac-1, a small GTPase protein plays important roles in regulation of cell shape and function in chondrocytes. We are now studying on upstream and downstream of Rac-1 proteins.

KYOTO, JAPAN -- Despite unlimited opportunities to connect through social networking and text messaging, TV commercials for computer dating services suggest that romance can be surprisingly elusive for singles in 2010. But a recent visit to Japan, has convinced me that Canadians may be looking for love in all the wrong places.
Even for tech-savvy Japanese teenagers, the path to love can still be a time honoured low-tech journey that starts at the ancient Jishu Shrine in Higashiyama, a district of Kyoto. Built by a shogun in 1633, the shrine has been attracting the lovelorn up through its gate ever since.
Legions of unattached Japanese make pilgrimages to the home of Okuninushi-no Mikoto -- the god of love, matchmaking and marriage.
But finding true love is not without risk, says guide Mark Amano. Visitors who appeal to the love god for help must first shut their eyes and navigate the 10-metre distance between two "love fortune-telling" stones.
Often these romantic pilgrims -- mainly teenagers and young women -- are guided on their journey by high-spirited friends shouting, "Left, right, be careful, forward, watch out, stop!"
It is said those who make it safely from stone to stone without falling or straying from the path will see their love realized.
Admission to the shrine is free but visitors can buy love amulets to help seal the deal. And when it comes to affairs of the heart, who couldn't use a little help from a higher power?
Does it work? While there are no guarantees, a notice board in front of the shrine is covered with messages from happy couples around the world -- including some from Canada -- who believe "Japan's cupid" intervened on their behalf, Amano says.
Love may be a compelling reason to make a day trip to Higashiyama but it is not the only one. This former capital city was once the heart of Japanese culture and politics.
During its 1,100-years as the seat of government, it evolved into a sprawling but beautiful metropolis, home to Imperial palaces and villas, gardens and teahouses, and some 1,300 Buddhist temples and almost 400 Shinto shrines. No less than 17 Unesco World Heritage sites are found within the Kyoto prefecture.
For tourists, that's a lot of decision making about what to do. One could fill weeks -- maybe months -- seeing nothing but temples and shrines but in Higashiyama visitors can spend a leisurely day enjoying different kinds of attractions in a pedestrian-friendly area.
Jishu Shrine is tucked right behind the commanding Kiyomizu -- or Pure Water -- temple, a World Heritage site founded in the eighth century and rebuilt in 1633. It's a must-see.
The temple's main hall, which was built entirely without nails, juts out from the hillside like a giant sun deck. The views over the city are magnificent, especially in the fall when the Japanese maples turn brilliant red, and in the spring when the cherry blossoms are in bloom.
Jumping off the verandah was once a test of bravery. It was believed those who survived the 13-metre fall would be granted their wish, Amano says, adding that many who took the challenge plunged to their death, and others were horribly crippled. The practice is now outlawed.
Right below the main hall is the Otawa waterfall, where visitors queue up to catch and drink the pure spring waters tumbling down the hillside. These are believed to have therapeutic properties and confer wisdom, health and long life, Amano says.
After the temple visit, meander along nearby Sannenzaka St. and the hodge-podge of narrow lanes that branch off of it. These cobbled streets lead past old wooden houses, shops selling traditional Japanese goods such as lacquerware and decorative paper, and excellent small restaurants, where you can get a steaming bowl of noodles and pot of green tea for under $10.
Being married, I didn't take the journey between the fortune-telling stones at Jishu shrine but I fell in love anyway -- with the colourful, beautiful pottery heaped up on tables outside shops along the rustic backstreets. I couldn't resist buying a few plates to take home. (I cursed their weight in my hand luggage but was happy I made the effort.)
On a pleasant day, the area takes on a carnival atmosphere and it's not uncommon to see women strolling about in beautifully patterned kimonos. Amano says temples and shrines sometimes offer discounts on admission to encourage people to wear traditional dress.

Well, I decided I wanted to practice poses, animations, and stuff, so I did some practice.
Ugg, this is a nightmare. I'm usually against posting stuff I know is bad, but this is a case of me not being sure where I went wrong, and I spent too many hours on this otherwise. Not sure if it's the general anatomy I'm messing up, what frames I ended up using, or where I have the sprite itself positioned. Any comments or critique welcomed.
I also have a bunch of the different stages of work I did. Here they are, in order of their creation.
I didn't know who to use for the longest time, but I eventually settled on Anna from Fire Emblem. If I had ended up doing better than I ended up with, I might have put in more detail and shading.
Lightning is the ultimate force. All shall bow to the might of Lightning, or it will strike you down.

Sickle Cell Trait
Sickle Cell Trait
Topic Overview
What is sickle cell trait?
Sickle cell trait occurs when a person inherits a sickle cell gene from just one parent. It's not the same as sickle cell disease, in which a person inherits two sickle cell genes, one from each parent.
People with sickle cell disease have just one kind of hemoglobin (hemoglobin S), which turns their normal, round red blood cells into abnormally curved (sickle) shapes. But people with sickle cell trait have both normal hemoglobin (hemoglobin A) and hemoglobin S, so they rarely have symptoms of sickle cell disease. But they are carriers and can pass the sickle cell gene to their children.
How is sickle cell trait diagnosed?
A simple blood test can show whether you have sickle cell trait. During pregnancy, a woman can have a test to find out if the baby will have either sickle cell disease or sickle cell trait. In Canada, infants at high risk for sickle cell disease may be screened before they go home from the hospital. Some college athletic programs screen student athletes to find out if they have sickle cell trait.
What does it mean to test positive for sickle cell trait?
People with sickle cell trait rarely have symptoms. Testing positive for sickle cell trait doesn't mean that you need to have treatment or make changes in your activities.
But in rare cases, a person with sickle cell trait may have muscle pain or other serious health problems. These problems can happen under certain extreme conditions, such as intense exercise, overheating, or being at a high altitude.
If you exercise intensely or are a competitive athlete, you can take precautions to help prevent complications: footnote 1
- Drink plenty of fluids, especially during intense activities.
- Increase your level of performance gradually.
- Stop right away if you feel muscle pain, weakness, fatigue, or breathlessness.
Work with your doctor and coaches to create a plan to prevent complications. Know what to do if you have problems.
Does sickle cell trait affect pregnancy?
Women who have sickle cell trait can have a healthy pregnancy.
If you or your partner has sickle cell trait, you may want to talk with a genetic counsellor before getting pregnant. A genetic counsellor can help you learn more about your chances of having a child with sickle cell disease.
A person with sickle cell trait has a 1-in-2 (50%) chance of passing the sickle cell trait gene to each of his or her children. If both parents have sickle cell trait, each of their children will have a 1-in-4 (25%) chance of having sickle cell disease.

Rogue Wave, Midlake, and Peter Wolf Crier at First Avenue, 9/20/10
September 20, 2010
First Avenue, Minneapolis
Three varied but passionate bands played to a small but devoted crowd at First Avenue on Monday night, and each group took their time finding their footing before delivering stirring sets that clearly resonated with their ardent fans.
Minneapolis's own Peter Wolf Crier, Denton, Texas's Midlake, and Oakland's Rogue Wave each brought their own particular variety and style of modern American music to the Mainroom, and rather than clashing, their contrasting sounds (and the obvious respect each band has for their tourmates) seemed to inspire both the bands and the audience, all adding up to enjoyable performances from all three groups.
Local two-piece Peter Wolf Crier kicked the night off strongly, with vocalist Peter Pisano stating early on in their 30-minute set that "I love Minneapolis because I feel like I know all of you on a first name basis." They opened with a somewhat tentative version of "Crutch & Crane," as the duo seemed to be settling back into a room they are surely growing quite accustomed to by now. But it wasn't until a slow, simmering version of "Down Down Down," before their set truly ignited. It proved to be my favorite song of the night.
Before a moving version of "Untitled 101," Pisano gave a shout-out to Stacy Schwartz, who took the picture that adorns the cover ofInter-Be,
and was celebrating her birthday that evening while photographing their show. "You're So High" and "Lion" soared, as Pisano and drummer Brian Moen were both locked in at this point, expanding on the texture and moods of their music, while adding a welcome level of intensity to their subtle songs. Moen joked that "if anyone was late to the show because you were watching Chuck, you might have heard this song," before the band delivered a lovely version of "In Response."
I was hoping to hear them cover Nick Drake during this show (which I've yet to see performed at any of their shows I've attended), and when Pisano took out his electric guitar and strummed the first few chords of "Place To Be," I was thrilled, and the stirring song proved to be a perfect way to end their rousing but all-too-brief set.
Midlake suffered more of a lasting lull at the start of their hour-long set, with their performance failing to find a spark until five songs in, with a rousing, impassioned version of "Core Of Nature" catching fire during the extended guitar solo that finished the song. It just seemed that the seven-piece group should be making more of a pronounced racket with all of the people on stage, especially after seeing PWC generate so much sound with just a two-piece. But their set was far more subdued and muted in comparison, and their delicately subtle songs had a hard time resonating with the slowly swelling crowd.
The group built on the momentum of "Nature" by delivering a gentle version of "Van Occupanther," that segued nicely into "Roscoe," which the band claimed was "the biggest hit we'll ever have." "Acts Of Man" seemed a bit tame by comparison, but the band ended their set with a rousing version of "Head Home" that finished their uneven performance strongly.
Headliners Rogue Wave also took a while to really hit their stride, with the brief intro of "All That Remains" flowing a bit awkwardly into "Stars And Stripes," which got the set off to a bit of a choppy start. Frontman Zach Rogue stated emphatically that: "We love Minneapolis, and can't believe we're playing First Ave. We played here on our first tour ever, opening for the Shins, and we've spent the rest of our career clawing our way back to playing this venue." Those warm sentiments, and the blissful pop songs the band were generating, ultimately proved irresistible, as the five-piece (featuring brothers Ken (keys) & Mark (bass-wearing a sweet Liftr Pullr tee) from Minneapolis) gradually settled in and easily won over their adoring audience. "Publish My Love" and "Chicago X 12" both were invigorating, and with the arrival of "We Will Make A Song Destroy" the set was truly in full bloom, with the crowd dancing and clapping along in complete abandon.
Zach asked if the crowd wanted to hear some old songs towards the end of the performance, and satisfied all of the screaming crowd by playing a trio of older numbers that finished the main set on a high. "Bird On A Wire" was stellar, and featured a group drum jam that actually was a lot cooler than it sounds. "Lake Michigan" was quite moving, and flowed nicely into a rousing version of "Harmonium," which really set the place off.
After a brief break, the band returned for a strong three-song encore, kicked off by an impassioned version of "California," which the band extended into a prolonged coda that only added weight to the already emotional number. Zach dug back to his first LP on a lively version of "Kicking The Heart Out," which featured a lengthy, jazzy intro that was a welcome addition to a song he's been playing for years. The 80-minute set ended with a lively rendition of "Permalight" that sent everyone home happy. And who wouldn't be satisfied after seeing three disparate but talented bands perform, even with a few brief lulls along the way.
Critic's Bias: The band I was least familiar with, Rogue Wave, ended up delivering the best set of the night, although I'll always have a special fondness for Peter Wolf Crier.
The Crowd: Small but committed, skewing a bit younger than most audiences.
Overheard In The Crowd: While Midlake was playing "Acts Of Man," "I don't think I could listen to this if I were driving a long distance."
Random Notebook Dump: It was a late show for a Monday night, with Rogue Wave wrapping up right at midnight.

In response to MattyScornD's comment:
The 2nd Amendment talks about the right to own guns.
It doesn't say anything about how they are accessed, bought and sold. That is the penultimate question.
infringed. That's the key.
v. in·fringed, in·fring·ing, in·fring·es
v. tr. 1. To transgress or exceed the limits of; violate: infringe a contract; infringe a patent. 2. ObsoleteTo defeat; invalidate.
Somewhere there is a line government crosses that equals infringement. Restricting sales, forcing registration, other gun-control ideas need to be viewed through this lens.
It is admittedly broad language. Not too different from language pertaining to other rights too. And yet all rights have their limitations. Congress is prohibitting the free exercise of religion yet laws that govern harmful religious practices have been upheld. It cannt abridge the freedom of speech or press and yet you cannot engage in certain harmful practices there either. Thus regulation of harmful aspects of the right to bear arms are fair game. But where the legal line is is anybody's guess...
Absolutely. That's the point. When someone says "x,y, and z" shouldn't bother anyone as an infringement, it is generally not well thought through.
Same with solutions. As I listen to the solutions tossed around, there is little attention paid to properly defining the problem.
So how does "a well REGULATED MILITIA" factor into your equation? Just curious.
It means "the people". At least that is what the founding fathers, the one's who penned those words meant. If you are truly curious, look up George Mason.
Go ahead, just ignore the "well regulated" part.

Loopholes help senator's tax rates
Regarding "State senator's land raises tax concern" (News, Dec. 30): Like many good ideas that can be easily abused, the Rockland Eagle Sanctuary of state Sen. Larry Boggs, R-Red Oak, seems to be just that. If you have enough influence you can get your special project to qualify with all the legal loopholes — especially the "modest 12,000-square-foot home" used for a profitable bed-and-breakfast. Boggs' claim that he lives in one of several homes on the Abbott Ranch should also raise a red flag.
Property taxes aren't reassessed if the property is held by the same family for years, but it seems these "homes" have been added to the farm and that does allow for reassessment. We built a 30- by 50-foot metal building on 80 acres with total taxes of $200. This building is used for storage, has no water and no one could live in it, yet our taxes were reassessed to nearly $700.
Boggs' ranch of 700 acres and several homes pays only $990 in taxes! What about the livestock on the ranch? Surely there must be some. I hope they're paying taxes on those. Amazing what you can get away with if you're in politics.

Ruadhrighwrote a review of Troy Lee Designs Ruckus Shorts - Men's on July 31, 2015
Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Just ordered a 3rd pair of these shorts! I really like the fit and comfort. They are a thicker material but not heavy or hot. The sizing is a little smaller than previous years. I used to wear 34 in all my TLD shorts but now the 34s are a little big. The 32 fits awesome though and the velcro waist adjusters are sweet. The shorts do come with a padded liner but I haven't used it yet. I prefer my SWAT bibs. Really dig the colors this year too.

This is just a guess, but when the projects and events folders are on an external drive, they need to be at the drive's root level for FCPX to see them. So, when you had them on your external drive, the file path would need to be:
When they're on your system drive, they need to be at ~/Movies. When you move projects and events, it's better to do it from within Final Cut (instead of Finder) because Final Cut keeps track of all of the symbolic links. To do this, choose File->Move Project (or duplicate project, duplicate event, move event, duplicate event).

Joint IDMC-UNHCR press release - A record 33.3 million now displaced by war worldwide, as one family flees inside Syria every 60 seconds - Report
33.3 million people were internally displaced at the end of 2013 due to conflict and violence says a new report by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC). This equates to a staggering increase of 4.5 million from 2012, signalling a record high for the second year running.
Edward Yeranian | Cairo
At Cairo's posh Gazeera Club, workers leave the showers running as they sit nearby drinking tea and chatting. Large quantities of water pour down the drain as water pipes around the city and its suburbs run dry.
For inhabitants of Cairo's poor neighborhoods, water only infrequently arrives via government pipes. In order to cook and stay hydrated, says resident Hossam Abdel Razaq, housewives trek to a local water dealer and buy the precious liquid for 25 cents. When water does briefly flow, he adds, kids run to the faucets to drink.

Re: Sigma 50mm f1.4 @ f1.4 -> WOW
This was the first lens I bought from Sigma, for my Canon 30D. It has worked very well. I did a fairly large project with it over the last couple years photographing paintings for an artist.
Here is a link. Beware lots of photos here, and resolution is limited for protection of the images: http://www.mike-yengo.com/
I made one of these into a 30x40 wall mount print (10508, first shot in the first gallery, thru Meridian Pro on the web) and it turned out well. Lots of bayer artifacts in the fine details but no issues at all with sharpness.
I wish I had one for my SD1, but I have the 85mm F1.4 instead, and certainly no complaints about this lens either!

Nowhere Else details the likelihood of 27 rumours surrounding Apple's iPhone 5 [Infographic]
There's nothing quite like watching the rumour mill spin when it comes to upcoming Apple launches.
It certainly happened with the iPad 2, and now that the tablet is in the hands of (or shipping to the hands of) consumers across the globe, the rumours have been redirected toward Apple's next major launch, the iPhone 5 (have we really all forgotten about the iMac, Mac Mini, and Mac Pro?).
Well, the iPhone 5 may break the record for most rumours ever for an Apple product. As usual, some seem pretty realistic and reasonable, while others the opposite and probably will never be a part of the Apple mobile device (or any mobile device for that matter).
Everywhere Else has taken the time to concoct a beautiful looking infographic that highlights an astounding 27 rumours (and pipe dreams) and then grants them a guesstimated percentage of likelihood. I roughly agree with most of what they say, though not all—but who really knows what's right and wrong?
1. A superior digital camera. 50% chance of happening.
2. No physical home button. 20%..
3. Bigger screen. 80%.
4. Better resolution. 40%.
5. Same design but with brushed metal back. 60%.
6. New design mimicking iPad 2. 40%.
7. White models. 100%.
8. Physical keyboard. 0%.
9. 64 GB model. 50%.
10. Full 1080p video recording. 30%.
11. Secondary, low-cost model. 30%.
12. No internal memory storage. 50%.
13. 3-D display. 10%.
14. Superior battery life. 20%.
15. CDMA model. 100%.
16. R-UIM MicroCard compatibility. 20%.
17. Two SIM cards. 0%.
18. NFC technology. 80%.
19. A5 processor. 100%.
20. More RAM (1 GB). 60%.
21. HDMI output. 60%.
22. 4G and/or LTE support. 50%.
23. Enhanced voice command. 60%.
24. iTunes Cloud. 60%.
25. iOS 5. 90%.
