Historical Traveler Reviews Dan Panorama Tel Aviv
Guter Preis, gute Lage, gutes Hotel
Ich war w�hrend einer Gesch�ftsreise in Tel Aviv und wohnte f�r einen Monat in diesem Hotel. Ich fand, dass das Hotel f�r den Preis ein sehr gutes Angebot war. Es ist ein Gesch�fts- und Kongresshotel. Der Lobbybereich ist sehr gro� und immer mit frischen Blumen dekoriert, das gesamte Personal ist sehr hilfsbereit. Die Zimmer sind ein wenig veraltet, die Betten sehr komfortabel, es gibt ein Reihe von englischen Sendern. Der Fr�hst�cksraum war sehr gro� und hatte eine reichliche Auswahl. Der Fitnessraum, die Jacuzzi und die Saunaanlage sind alle kostenlos und sehr sauber. Die Sicht vom Zimmer auf das Mittelmeer war super. Das Reinigungspersonal ist sehr freundlich und leistet gute Arbeit. Ich w�rde jedem, der nach Tel Aviv reist, dieses Hotel empfehlen. Ich bin danach ins Crowne Plaza (gesch�ftlich) gezogen, was teurer war und mich entt�uscht hat. Wenn ich die Wahl gehabt h�tte, w�re ich wieder ins Dan Panorama gezogen.
Gut für Geschäftsreisende
Mir hat die Lage des Hotels nichts ausgemacht. Es liegt direkt vor dem Dophinarium und dem Ehrenmal zum Gedenken der 21 russischen Jugendlichen, die hier umgekommen sind. Irgendwie doch ganz deprimierend. Sie sind sehr erfahren im Umgang mit gro�en Gruppen und Konferenzen. Das Fr�hst�cksb�fett ist riesig. Das Abendessen wird auch als B�fett serviert. Also, wenn sie sich am Abend nicht vollstopfen wollen, dann suchen Sie sich einfach ein Restaurant in der Gegend. Ich hatte ein tolles Zimmer im 16. Stock mit Balkon und Blick aufs Meer und Yaffo. Ich w�rde aber nicht mehr dort unterkommen wollen, es sei denn, ich habe mit einem Mal Geld wie Heu.
Good for business travelers
I didn't care for hotel's location - right across from the Dolphinarium and the memorial to the 21 Russian youth killed instantly. Somewhat depressing.
This hotel is sure not for a budget traveler. They are very experienced in handling large groups and conferences.
The breakfast buffet is enourmous. The dinner, too, is a buffet. So, if you are not used to the evening overeating, shop around for restaurants.
I had a great room on 16th floor with the balcony overlooking the sea and Yaffo, but I wouldn't stay there again unless I have money to burn.
Good Price, Good Location, Good Hotel
I was travelling to Tel Aviv on business and set to stay in the hotel for a month. I found this hotel to be great for the price. It is a business/conference hotel. The lobby area is large and always filled with beautiful fresh flowers, all staff are very helpful. The rooms maybe a little dated, the beds very comfortable, wide range of english TV channels.
The breakfast room was very big and provided a large range of cuisines. The gym, jacuzzi and sauna facilities are all free and very clean.
The views from the room are great over the Med.
All housecleaning staff are very friendly and do a very good job. I would recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to Tel Aviv, as from here we moved to the Crowne Plaza (business) which is more expensive and I was very disappointed and had been given the choice would have transferred back to the Dan Panorama.
Highly recommend this hotel
We stayed five nights at this hotel as part of an ElAl package. The room we had was large, clean and overlooked the Mediterranean. The staff was accomodating, knowledgeable and very helpful. The breakfast was outstanding. The location, though a bit off the beaten track was very good. We would highly recommend this hotel for visitors to Tel Aviv
Tired and Worn but clean
We stayed at the Dan Panorama Tel Aviv for just one night (12/27-12/28). The lobby area was really beautiful and nice! The buffet restaurant had excellent food and a wonderful atmosphere also. The rooms are another story. We had a standard room with 2 single beds that was very clean but kind of stark, barren and worn out! The furniture was very old - although the beds were comfortable. I'm hoping that we were in a room that was scheduled for renovation because there was abolutely nothing hanging on the walls (but you could see from the paint that something had been hanging there previously), and maybe (hopefully) they took the pictures off the walls in preparation for painting.... we hope! The location is very nice - close to the beach (although I've never in my life seen so much garbage on what should have been a beautiful beach on the sea). This is definitely NOT a 5 star hotel (I'd give it 2 stars because they desperately need to paint and update the furniture in the rooms)! However, I would stay here again because everything was very clean, and that's what is most important to me.
Reasonable Hotel!
Nice place. Helpful staff at reception, slight attitude once you get to the restuarant though! Has to be said that the cleaners all very pleasant and helpful.
Very clean rooms but that's a basic requirement really. Think fridge must mean something different over there - it was colder in the room!
Really tiny balconies, which is a shame, as the view of the beach and up towards Yaffo is really nice and can't really be shared or appreciated for a long time.
Lovely resataurant, good food, lots of choice, but yet again, attitude from the staff.
Nice place overall.
Good for Pesach
We stayed at this hotel in April 2004 for ten days.
The hotel lobby was well maintained and the rooms themselves were plain and simple, but adequate. The television did not have many channels as mentioned by another reviewer, but how much that bothers you probably depends on how much time you want to spend watching it.
We could see the beach from our balcony, which we only used to look at the view as it was only big enough for one person to sit in, and it is a pleasant walk down to the sand. It is also close to Tel Aviv's main market, which is a joy - if a maze - to wander through.
We stayed half-board and breakfast and dinner, given the limitations of the festival, were very enjoyable.
On the whole the hotel had a nice atmosphere and staff were helpful, and we enjoyed our stay.
1970's Porn Set
I stayed recently at the Dan Panorama on Business.
Overall this is a very disappointing hotel, avoid it, and stay next door in the Davids Intercontinental.
1. Rooms and Decor feel like you are in a 1970's German Porn set. Rooms have big White dome lights, and brown velour covers.
2. Room Bars are empty
3. TV is crap with no Movie Channels
4. Breakfast is buffet style - but frankly most of it is designed for the very sweet tooth - mostly cakes
5. Avoid the Summer - the place is full of children running around the hotel
6. The lifts - so slow, I am sure my hair grew whilst I was waiting.
7. Staff in the Bars - surly
8. No Smoking in the Bars - good if you dont smoke stupid if you do.
9. Pool, dont bother, walk 200 yards to the Beach, poolside is very poorly maintained
Spend a bit more if you go all the way to Israel and pop next door before you book in.

Corinthians Introduction
In A Nutshell
Fact: reading 1 and 2 Corinthians is better than a night out at the movies.
Okay, just hear us out.
Here you have two letters written by Paul of Tarsus. He's one of the superstars of the early church and the guy people think is responsible for almost a third of the writing in the New Testament. If Jesus is taking home the statute for Best Biblical Hero, then Paul definitely has a lock in the Best Supporting category. The guy is A-list all the way.
These two letters are just a couple of little theological blockbusters he wrote to the Christian church he founded in Corinth. 1 Corinthians is kind of like A New Hope or The Fellowship of the Ring. It's the first amazing installment in a can't-wait-to-see-how-it-ends series. This first letter's got everything a hit movie does: sex, love, marriage, divorce, conflict, betrayal, anger, and even an occasional discussion of penises. Don't worry, the rating is still G.
So if that was Paul's first box office hit, then 2 Corinthians is like the sequel that's even bigger and better than the original. Corinth: now with higher stakes, more expensive special effects, and bigger explosions (of apostolic anger)! This book also has a little bonus footage in it, because most scholars think that 2 Corinthians is actually two letters combined into one. It's what would happen if someone took Breaking Dawn: Part 1 and Part 2 and edited them into one movie. Corinthians would have fewer longing vampire glances, though.
The best part about both of these is that you don't have to wait years between letters to see how it ends. Want to know what happened after that cliffhanger at the end of 1 Corinthians? Just flip the page and find out (spoiler alert: things do not go well). It's kind of like how we'd feel if Peter Jackson had made The Hobbit into one movie instead of three. (Which, let's be honest, he should have: the book isn't that long, dude.)
So break out the popcorn, put on your 3-D glasses, and crack open your Bibles to the letters to the Corinthians. On second thought, maybe ditch the 3-D glasses. That might just make you dizzy.
Why Should I Care?
"Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."
Shmoop may be quoting the Hulk (Bruce Banner), but we're also paraphrasing St. Paul the Apostle. What? Didn't think saints ever got mad? Well then, just take a peek at 1 and 2 Corinthians to have your world rocked.
He may be a follower of Jesus, but Paul has feelings, too, you know. In these letters, they're mainly anger, jealousy, and frustration. All that good stuff. See, even though he founded the church in Corinth, Paul can't quite keep things under control there. Not only are the Corinthians rebelling left and right, but people keep coming into town telling everyone that Paul is actually a giant green monster that can't be trusted in civilized society. Paul calls these guys the false apostles and, for him, they're worse than a radioactive lab experiment gone wrong.
But if the Hulk's super power is unstoppable strength, Paul's is sarcasm-laced letters and near-death experiences. While the false apostles spend most of their time bragging about how amazingly holy and spiritually-gifted they are, Paul puts pen to paper to record all his failures. He writes in his letters about being beaten, chained, tortured, imprisoned, starved, and almost beheaded. See, Paul thinks strength is actually found in weakness. We'd say Christianity has found its anti-hero.
So if you're looking for a guy from the Bible you can relate to—someone who occasionally gets mad and lashes out in letter form (as opposed to stomping buildings)—then, Paul is your biblical superhero. But remember, if make him angry with your unbelieving ways—PAUL SMASH!

How to Use Coupons to Save Money – The Beginner's Guide
Knowing how to use coupons to save money isn't my cup 'o tea, but this writer knows what she's talking about! This beginner's guide to clipping coupons is a guest post by SEO consultant Ann Smarty.
"A lot of people don't bother collecting coupons because they just don't understand how much money they could actually be saving," says Smarty. "They look at a dollar off here, fifty cents off there, never realizing that the real bargain hunters are using coupons to cut as much as fifty percent off the total price of their groceries."
Can you imagine saving twice as much money every month, by cutting your grocery bill in half? It's possible! One of the first steps to using coupons to save money involves organizing your coupons — and that's where a coupon organizer comes in handy.
And, here are Smarty's tips for achieving your financial goals by cutting coupons…
How to Use Coupons to Save Money – The Beginner's Guide
Coupon clipping is an excellent way for budget conscious shoppers to make real savings. It takes a lot of effort to make sure you find coupons that apply to all the major items on your shopping list, but it's an investment most find well worth the time when trying to save money without having to give anything up.
Find the Right Coupons
The first thing you need to do is figure out where you're going to get your coupons from. Most local Sunday newspapers provide sections for major manufacturers and local retail stores to promote their coupons.
When running promotions, many companies will send out special offers in the mail, which can include coupons. Scan through your "junk mail" to see if any coupons have been delivered. Some businesses provide printable coupons that can be found online. Taking time daily to check through coupon websites like CouponSherpa.com and Freeshipping.org is a great way to come across deals you didn't even know you were looking for.
Organize Your Coupons
Once you have identified a couple of sources for gathering coupons, you need to start collecting and saving those coupons. The best way to do this is to cut (or print) the coupons out as soon as you find them, so they can be stored in a safe location. Most coupon collectors prefer to use containers like address boxes or folders for storing their coupons , as they can be easily divided into sections relating to the various offers available, making the coupons easy to reference before each shopping trip.
Make sure you organize your coupons in an easily accessible manner — it's vital to using coupons and saving money!
Make the Most of Your Coupons – Find Special Offers
Making the most out of your coupons involves finding special offers to use in conjunction with any coupons you may have on hand. Some special offers will prohibit the use of coupons to reduce the price further, but many will not. Learning to spot deals that will let you use your coupon discounts in addition to any in-store offers is a surefire way to save money.
At first it will be difficult to match up special offers with the coupons and promo codes you have on hand, but don't get tempted to spend your coupons on regular purchases (unless they are close to expiring). Over time you will build up a very impressive catalog of potential discounts, which will enable you to take full advantage of real bargains as they crop up. It can take a month or two to get to the point where you are using coupons every week, but don't get discouraged. Keep collecting coupons and you will be saving money on your grocery bill in no time.
Don't Forget to Get Rid of Your Expired Coupons!
Coupons can last anywhere from a few weeks to a year. In order to make sure you only keep active discounts on hand, you should devote ten or so minutes a week to going through your coupon collection and removing any expired offers. If you do this regularly you should be able to use all your coupons before they expire, though obviously don't go out of your way to buy items you otherwise wouldn't have bought.

As we're on How to Use Coupons to Save Money – The Beginner's Guide – You can get coupons from magazines and newspaper ads. Pay close attention the to the expiration dates on them as well. If you have access to the internet go to the sites for the products you use. Many of them offer coupons that they will mail to you or that you can print at home. If these sites offer an opt in list for you to get promotions and coupons by e-mail then take advantage of it.
Any time you strategy to pay a visit to a museum, amusement park, or other activity check to see if there are actually coupons supplied anyplace. A great many occasions you might locate buy 1 get 1 absolutely free coupons for such outings and that could be an excellent savings for your trip. You possibly can usually discover this out by looking via the internet or calling the chamber of commerce within the area of the event. On the internet auctions like Yahoo! Auctions and eBay supply you plenty of opportunities to benefit from discount coupons that other people are selling too.
I am very new to the whole coupon clipping. I have a household that is now required to save on everything. 2 incomes has become 1 and I am constantly looking for was to save. My question is: DO I take a couple of weeks to aquire several coupons or just jump start in to whatever I get my hands on? I have read several articles that hint to wait before you use them.

Confidence-building measures (CBMs) were developed between military alliances during the Cold War to avoid nuclear attacks by accident. They have widened into other areas, military and non-military. This site focuses on the weapons-related CBMs.
Transparency in armaments
Confidence and trust grows when States are open about their military capacities and plans. That is why every year they can report their military expenditures to the UN, as well as their recent imports and exports of weapons.
Sharing views on confidence building
Apart from these UN reporting mechanisms, many other military CBMs exist. They can be divided into three groups:
Information exchange measures
These seek to enhance the mutual understanding of national military capabilities and activities. They also facilitate regular communication to avoid surprise or unsought military confrontations. Examples include the reciprocal appointment of military points of contact, the establishment of a hotline between top generals, the exchange of military information on national forces and armaments, and advance notification of military manoeuvres and activities.
Also the unilateral notification of reduction and disposal of weapons and ammunition may be seen as such a measure.
Observation and verification measures
These aim at generating trust by allowing participating States to monitor each other's military facilities and activities. Observation measures assist in corroborating that a party's military activities are of a non-aggressive nature and that they are organized only in the context of military activities, or of planning for such activities, in conformity with the Charter of the United Nations. Examples include the invitation of observers to monitor major military exercises and missions to evaluate on site the information provided by a Government on its military units and equipment.
Inspections modalities may include verification on the ground and photography from aerial observation flights.
Military constraint measures
These are designed to limit the capacity of parties for surprise military attacks.
Examples include restrictions on the number and scope of major military exercises, limitations of troop movements, de-alerting, and the establishment of demilitarized and weapon-free zones.
Agreeing on CBMs in a region
Most confidence-building measures between States have been agreed to in regional, subregional or bilateral contexts. The great variety of such measures underlines the importance of tailoring them to the particular security concerns of States within a region.
Regions and subregions wishing to develop regional confidence-building measures in the field of conventional arms may build upon existing measures with a global reach, such as the Standardized Instrument for Reporting Military Expenditures or the United Nations Register of Conventional Arms. They could, for instance, conduct regular bilateral or regional discussions on information provided by States from their region to these global instruments and on the strategic considerations underpinning the policy decisions reported therein.

How much is that doggie in the window?
A pair of beautiful Tibetan mastiffs sold for nearly three million dollars this week at a "luxury pet" auction held in Beijing on Tuesday. A one-year-old golden-haired mastiff pup sold for 12 million yuan ($1.9 million), and the other sold for 6 million yean, or just under $1 million.
Writes a March 19 report from AFP, carried on MSN News: "Enormous and sometimes ferocious, with round manes lending them a passing resemblance to lions, Tibetan mastiffs have become a prized status symbol among China's wealthy, sending prices skyrocketing."
"They have lion's blood and are top-of-the-range mastiff studs," the dog's breeder Zhang Gengyun said. "Pure Tibetan mastiffs are very rare, just like our nationally treasured pandas, so the prices are so high."
The recent sale of the one-year-old mastiff, who was bought by a 56-year-old property developer, surpasses the previous record sale for a dog in China – another mastiff named "Big Splash" who sold 10 million yuan in 2011.
Owners of the giant dogs, which can reach nearly three feet in height, say the mastiffs, descendants of dogs used for hunting by nomadic tribes in central Asia and Tibet, are fiercely loyal and protective. In China, the dogs are considered holy and able to bring health and blessings to their owners.
How much do these massive animals resemble lions? So much so that one Chinese zoo last year tried to pass them off as one and the same:

We stayed in the appartment during Christmas.The appartment itself is fabulous and located in a wonderful, but quite village. All rooms, big kitchen, furniture and facilities were well taken care of. A practical space for a family, like ours with two young children. Forests for walking is near. Shops and cities are further away. A good option is to drive to the closest train station to catch one of the trains that take you through the whole country, with its nice towns and to Luxemburg city for just 4euro a day, children under 12 yrs travel free. Food and wine in Luxemburg are nice, so we enjoyed Christmas very much.
The place was very clean and big. It had a nice garden that we could use whenever we wanted, which is great if you go with kids. The only problem was that it said the beach was 400m away, which is true but it was 400m of steps, which is a problem when you are coming back and have to go up (with kids, baby and a lot of stuff).
Apart from that, everything was great.

Les Isles de Sola is located in Grandcamp centrally by the harbor and near the sea, the direct access to Meerf however there is still a campsite between. The staff is very friendly and helpful, in the middle of the complex there is a rather small pool which is heated, is unfortunately already closed at 18:00.
The apartments are rather modestly furnished, the kitchen is very simple, all set up together fairly and cleanly.
Les Isles de Sola liegt in Grandcamp zentral beim Hafen und in der Nähe des Meeres, beim direkten Zugang zum Meerf liegt allerdings noch ein Campingplatz dazwischen. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, in der Mitte der Anlage gibt es einen eher kleinen Pool der beheizt ist, leider aber schon um 18:00 geschlossen wird.
Die Appartements sind eher bescheiden eingerichtet, die Kochnische ist sehr einfach gehalten, alles zusammen leidlich eingerichtet und sauber.

To Kill a Mockingbird
Format Post in Fiction / Novel BY Harper Lee
Shared By Guest
Harper Lee has written a wonderful book that pulses with life, with compassion, and easy good humor. Watching Atticus face down an angry mob set on lynching a black man, or racing with Jem as he escapes gunshots from the Radley house, or sitting with Scout as she forced to join her aunt's church lady reception, or taking that long midnight walk with Jem and Scout, is pure joy these are scenes that reverberate in the reader's mind and surely in the minds of several generations of readers. I'm glad I can now say I'm one of them.

Riedel Vinum Burgundy (2-pack)
Usually ships the next business day
Product Description
Note this is a two-pack containing two glasses.
The Riedel Vinum Burgundy glass is excellent for full-bodied red wines (more than 12.5 percent alcohol) with high acidity and moderate tannin.
This glass directs the flow of wine onto the zone of the tongue which perceives sweetness, thereby highlighting the rich fruit and tempering the high acidity of the wine. The large bowl captures all the nuances of the wine's aroma.
NOTE: Although this glass is quite differently shaped from the equivalent Sommeliers glass, the Burgundy Grand Cru (400/16), both designs are as effective in bringing out the character of thhe wine because they control the flow of the wine onto the palate in the same manner.
Recommended for: Barbaresco, Barbera, Barolo, Burgundy (red), Gamay, Nebbiolo, Pinot Noir.
Item Number: 416/7 Height: 210mm 8 1/4in. Capacity: 700ccm 24 3/4oz.
"Case discount price" reflects a 10% case discount (5% on Sparkling Wines) for any mixed-case purchase of 12 bottles or more shipped to a single address.

Brunkow Cheese Issues Allergy Alert On Undeclared Soy In Jalapeno Pepper Raw Milk Cheddar Cold Pack CheesePublish Date: Fri, 23 May 2014 15:36:00 -0400

Namibia. 33 images. Drawn from a photographic safari in Africa - 2009. Namibia From a Grain of Sand is a collection of fine art photography by Terrence Clifford
May 2009
Terrence Clifford was born in Surrey, England; educated and studied art in Toronto. As an only child his imagination and fascination for drawing became his companions. He has always enjoyed the process of creativity, from that first step of a clean canvas in one's mind to the excitement of discovery as an idea takes shape. It wasn't until the advent of digital that I began to embrace photography and its capabilities as a creative media. Being a very active individual; sailing, cycling etc; carrying a camera around taught me to slow down and observe the beauty of nature and to share my excitement with others through my images. More of Terry's work can be seen at www.terrencecliffordphotography.com

(Editor's note: The VMAs are a big assignment, and with this year's show taking over Las Vegas all week long, our friends at Us Weekly are helping us make sure we've got every glittering inch of the Strip covered. You'll see their celebrity reporting here at MTV.com this week, and you'll find our music reporting over at UsMagazine.com.)
Further proof stars are just like Us: Britney's VMA comeback performance was the hot topic on the red carpet at Fashion Rocks (see "Britney Spears To Open 2007 MTV Video Music Awards: It's Official!" ).
(Peep snaps of Fergie, Carrie Underwood and many more at Fashion Rocks. )
"I'm curious just like everybody else," Fergie, who is nominated for Female Artist of the Year (see "MTV VMA Race Is On: Justin Timberlake, Beyonce Lead Nominations" ), tells Us. "Britney always puts on a good show at awards shows, so I'm looking forward to it."
Best New Artist nominee Carrie Underwood agrees, "I think it's going to be good. I don't think Britney will let us down."
Spears is sure to have a few surprises up her sleeve for Sunday night, but these veteran performers have some ideas to make her performance even more spectacular:
"I would come out rockin'. Let them know, 'I am Britney. I am still here. So don't get it twisted,'" Ciara, who's "Like a Boy" video is up for the Best Choreography award, tells Us.
For Fergie, it's all about the stage props. "I say go for an even bigger animal! Maybe a different reptile," she tells Us. But it's Mya (who will be sitting in the audience at the VMAs) who has the most show-stopping suggestion of them all: "I would take my wig off! And then throw it into the audience!"
Wait — don't cash out on the VMAs just yet! From Britney's sultry comeback performance to the big winners, you saw it all — well, almost everything! Get yourself even richer with our wall-to-wall show coverage, party reports, videos and loads more at www.VMA.MTV.com.

After dating for three long years, Cibele Santos and Fausto Candido were anxious to take the next step. They knew they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together, but what they had not foreseen was a job offer abroad causing the beginning of their marriage to take place over Skype. Telling their story here today is our way of honoring all couples, married or not, who use Skype to stay close to one another.
The wedding preparations were in full swing, when Fausto was approached with an amazing job offer in Luanda, Angola. The catch? He was unable to bring his family along. Understandably, he was apprehensive about telling Cibele that they'd be kick-starting their happily-ever-after separated by an ocean and over 4,000 miles, for the first year!
"We have always enjoyed the idea of experiencing new cultures, and I ended up seeing a great life opportunity," said Cibele. After agreeing that "a year goes by really fast," they decided Fausto should take advantage of the opportunity. They were legally married on March 21 and by March 29th, he was off.
They were already Skype users, both for work and keeping in touch with distant relatives, but from the moment Fasuto touched down in Angola, Skype became an essential part of their daily lives. "Since the first day he arrived there we have been speaking daily, sometimes for hours on end. As he is 4 hours ahead of me, sometimes we talk later in the day, which for me is late afternoon and almost time to go to bed. On weekends, we have more time to 'be together'," she explained.
Cibele familiarized herself with Fausto's apartment in Angola through Skype. Back at home in Brazil, Ciebele was working hard to make their new house a home. On their video calls, she's able to decorate and make decisions as a couple, "every time I install something or fix something up, he can see it and help me decide. He will participate in even the smallest things. For instance, we had 2 fruit bowls, I showed them to him on Skype and he helped me decide which one we should give to charity."
In addition to calling his cell phone using Skype Credit, Fausto downloaded the Skype app so that they could talk talk to each other Skype to Skype for free. "We talk even when I'm on the bus," said Fausto. Often they do group calls with family and friends, because everyone wants to know all about his new life. When Cibele meets friends, Fausto can participate a little with a Skype video call.
Today, nearly three months later, Fausto has a date to come home to complete part 2 of their wedding, the reception! To organize the expenses of the celebration, they share their screens to work on the budget and other details. "Often I'll call him from inside a store for him to help me decide what to buy!" says Cibele.
Finally, Fausto arrived home in Brazil on the 14th – a little late, but still on time to celebrate Brazil's Valentine's Day, and the rest of their lives together.

Hey, I'm in the same boat you are, having had to dump Revlon this summer. :( I've got a huge list of cruelty-free companies that I'm currently compiling. I'm e-mailing my fingers off!ReplyDelete
The cheapest and most easily available thus far are NYX, Wet n Wild, ELF, Physician's Formula, and Sonia Kashuk (at Target). I haven't heard back from Bonne Bell, Milani or Hard Candy yet but I think they're still cruelty-free.
If you want to keep tabs on my full list you can find it here on my blog (http://quickcheapandpretty.blogspot.com/p/cruelty-free-resources-beauty-brands.html). I'm updating it constantly as I get new responses from beauty companies.
I really liked Revlon so it's hard to give it up, but it gives me an excuse to try new things so I guess it's not all bad! :) And thanks for the suggestions because it's slim pickin' at the drug store these days :/ReplyDelete
According to PETA's current list of Companies That Do NOT Test, which could be out of date, Bonne Bell and Hard Candy are still cruelty free. I just bought a variety of NYX products to try since they are all 40% at Ulta until Sunday!!! Besides, they are pretty inexpensive to begin with :) I already had some of their products, but for some reason I never pick them up to test them out.
Thanks for the link to your full list! I really like your blog and it's so wonderful to see other bloggers focused on cruelty free brands!

Importance of practical & technical skills
Resourcing & diversity
What we do
- Curriculum & assessment
- High-quality teaching
- Importance of practical and technical skills
- Resourcing and diversity
The Royal Society of Chemistry commissions reports, responds to consultations, actively campaigns, and provides evidence. As well as working independently, we work in collaboration with other relevant organisations; our goal is to make an impact.
In England, we often work with an alliance of other science organisations to influence school- and college-level education policy. The other organisations in the alliance are the Institute of Physics, the Royal Society of Biology, the Royal Society and the Association for Science Education.
We also seek to influence education policy in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Ireland. For example, the Royal Society of Chemistry is a member of the Learned Societies' Group on Scottish Science Education (LSG), which identifies, discusses and takes action on science-education issues in Scotland.
Curriculum & assessment
To achieve high-quality science and chemistry education, the curriculum should be engaging, inspiring, and relevant, and assessment should be fit for purpose.
We look at curriculum and assessment matters from the start of primary education right through to the end of secondary school.
Set up in 2014, the Curriculum and Assessment Working Group aims to develop a comprehensive view of an appropriate school chemistry curriculum, from primary to the end of formal school/college education.
The goals are to:
- consider and provide guidance and information on content criteria (including scientific skills and ideas) for chemistry qualifications
- consider and provide guidance and information on appropriate assessment models for chemistry qualifications
- advise on responses to external consultations on curriculum, qualification and assessment matters
- advise the staff, Education Division Council, Science, Education & Industry Board and Council on any matters associated with the chemistry curriculum
Our recent work in this area
Our joint response to the National Improvement Framework for Scottish Education
November 2015
We responded as part of the Learned Societies' Group on Scottish Science Education to the Scottish Government's proposals for a National Improvement Framework (NIF). The response highlighted that the NIF could potentially have negative implications for teaching science.
Our response to the HEFCE Quality Assessment Review for Future Approaches to Quality Assessment in England, Wales and Northern Ireland
August 2015
We broadly supported the need to change the current system of quality assurance, but expressed a number of concerns over specific details and the implementation of the proposals. We highlighted our support for autonomy of HE institutions, but raised concerns around the suggested mechanisms for consistency across different disciplines at different institutions.
Changes to the assessment of A-levels in the sciences: What do they mean for higher education admissions?
May 2015
Our guide explains how those working in higher education admissions can help ensure students receive a rich practical experience at A-level in light of the changes to practical assessment.
Response to the Ofqual consultation on GCSE reform: regulations for science
May 2015
We questioned the percentages allocated to mathematical skills in the assessment of the different sciences and requested clarification on the measures to ensure students have opportunities to undertake sufficient practical work.
Response to the Ofqual consultation on the assessment of practical work in the sciences at GCSE
February 2015
We supported the need to change the current system of assessment but expressed a number of concerns over the implementation of the proposals including appropriate monitoring and the lack of detail provided in the consultation document.
Response to the Department for Education consultation on new performance descriptors for key stages 1 and 2
December 2014
The response supported one 'working at the national standard' level in science but called for the guidance to encourage teachers to allow greater depth of study within the same key stage. It also highlighted the need for the purposes of the performance descriptors to be more explicit and for the language of the descriptors to be redrafted to mirror that of the National Curriculum.
Response to the Ofqual consultation on Completing GCSE, AS and A-Level reform
July 2014
The response highlighted our support for subject curriculum committees independent of interest and free from competition, and the need to emphasise understanding and competencies over content.
Response to the Ofqual consultation on Setting the Grade Standards of new GCSEs in England
June 2014
Our response included a call for a clearer definition of the purpose of key stage 4 examinations, and we opposed the emphasis placed on assessment as an accountability measure used for league table performance comparisons.
Response to the Ofqual consultation on Regulating Endorsement and Examiner-Author Conflicts
May 2014
We stated that relationships between awarding organisations (AOs) and publishers contained real risks in a system where multiple competing awarding organisations exist. The response called for one single AO, external accreditation of revision guides and a ban on current textbook authors acting as examiners.
Response to the Ofqual consultation on A-level Regulatory requirements
January 2014
The response called for the assessment and content of the proposed A-Levels to be developed more coherently and for Ofqual to reconsider the proposal to separate the practical grade from the overall A-level science grades.
Response to the Department for Education consultation on A-level subject content in the sciences
Appendices to the main response
December 2013
We called for the implementation of the A-levels to be delayed and for greater coherence in the reform process. The response also commented on practical science, content, assessment, working scientifically, big ideas in science and mathematical skills.
Read more about how we have involved the chemistry community in the development of the science curriculum and in changes to the assessment of the sciences in England
High-quality teaching
Excellent teachers can inspire interest and appreciation in science and chemistry from an early age. The keys to ensuring every student has access to excellent science and chemistry teaching are:
- effective deployment of subject specialist teachers
- effective initial teacher training (ITT)
- effective continuing professional development (CPD) and recognition for teachers
Currently we support effective ITT through our teacher training scholarships. Also, our secondary level CPD courses and licence to offer Chartered Teacher Status (CSciTeach) form part of our teacher CPD support.Our recent work on high-quality teaching
Subject-specialist teaching
Our subject-specialist teacher campaign
We are currently campaigning for more specialist primary science and secondary chemistry teachers in schools across the UK. In addition, the campaign recognises the importance of increasing the provision of subject-specific CPD.
Find out more about our campaign and how to get involved
Supply of Teachers - response to inquiry
November 2015
We responded (read our response) with other science organisations to the Education Select Committee's inquiry into the Supply of Teachers. Our response included recommendations for government to tackle teacher shortages, as well as recognition of the extent of and the causes of, the issues in teacher recruitment and retention.
Continuing professional development
Teachers' professional development standard – response to call for evidence
October 2015
We responded to the Department for Education's call for evidence to inform the development of a new standard for teachers' professional development. The response highlighted the importance of ensuring subject-specific professional development was incorporated into the standard.
Developing the teaching profession to a world-class standard
February 2015
We responded to Department for Education's proposals to establish to establish a College of Teaching. We supported the creation of an independent professional body for teaching to recognise and enhance the teaching profession. We also highlighted the need to involve teachers and the wider education community in ensuring a relevant and on-going framework for professional development.
Teaching Excellence Framework (England)
January 2016
We responded (read the response) to the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills' Green Paper "Fulfilling our Potential: Teaching Excellence, Social Mobility and Student Choice". In our response we welcomed the Government's commitment to recognising and improving the quality of teaching in Higher Education (HE), but expressed concerns about some of the mechanisms, metrics, timescale and unintended consequences of the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF). We also commented on proposed changes to the structure of HE, research funding and implications for social mobility.
Carter Review of ITT (England): Call for evidence
September 2014
We responded (read the response) to this independent review of ITT. We highlighted the importance of the following.
- Pre-ITT subject specific knowledge
- Post-ITT subject specific continuing professional development
- Appropriately skilled ITT trainers
- Evidence-based classroom practice
- A balanced course content to include learning, assessment, classroom management and pedagogy
Subsequently, the Carter Review has been published, and the Government has published its response to the review's recommendations.
We have also published a set of principles for routes into teaching the sciences at secondary level. The principles cover the purpose of initial teacher training, the support trainees should receive, and how to ensure courses are high-quality.

Skills for the chemical industry: training the teachers
June 2015
The quality of technical education in the further education (FE) sector is dependent on the quality of its teaching workforce. In Skills for the Chemical Industry – Training the Teachers we explore ways in which the FE sector can improve capacity to train high quality technicians. As well as providing recommendations for colleges, policy-makers and industry, we highlight case studies of successful technician training.
Importance of practical & technical skills
Practical and technical skills are essential to the understanding of and participation in science and chemistry during time in education and employment. Practical work at school improves the scientific knowledge and understanding of students, as well as providing opportunities for working scientifically and developing hands-on skills. Effective vocational training is integral to ensuring the technician workforce has the up-to-date technical skills required by employers.
The quality of practical and technical skill development depends on adequate resourcing, confident and competent teaching and appropriate pathways of training.Our recent work on the importance of practical and technical skills
Resourcing practical science in English schools
June 2013
We were involved in producing a set of resourcing benchmarks for teachers and school practitioners to use when planning science budgets and equipping classrooms.
Following the development of these benchmarks, a research project investigated the levels of resourcing of practical science at secondary level and primary level in England. The research suggests that at both levels inadequate resourcing, facilities and funding were a common problem.
Read more about our past work in this area.
Resourcing practical science in Scottish schools
November 2014
We were part of a similar research project as a member of the Learned Societies' Group on Scottish Science Education. The findings in Scotland also indicated that practical resourcing levels are not adequate at both primary and secondary level.

Supporting technical skills in the chemical industry
November 2013
Employers increasingly report shortages of people with technical skills necessary for roles within the chemical industry. In Supporting Technical Skills in the Chemical Industry we provide practical recommendations on ways to overcome this skills gap. This includes proposals to better recruit and support technicians, to improve the quality and sustainability of vocational and work-based training, and to improve communication of the different pathways of training.
Resourcing & diversity
Our policy and research work supports the higher education sector in a variety of ways, from ensuring universities have the funding they need for the provision of high quality teaching to assessing the impact of immigration law on chemistry staff and students. You can explore the sections below to find out what we are doing.
Higher education interactive dataset
We believe that effective decision making should be based on evidence. In addition to consultation with our community of chemical scientists, we have created an interactive on-line platform that allows you to find out more about the chemistry higher education sector.
To explore, access the platform, and use the tabs along the top to interrogate different sets of data.Read more about resourcing and diversity

Finances of UK university chemistry and physics departments
5 November 2015
The Royal Society of Chemistry and the Institute of Physics commissioned research into the finances of university chemistry and physics departments in the UK. The report finds most of the UK university chemistry and physics departments studied continue to run deficits in teaching and research and operate at a substantial deficit overall.
The policy briefing accompanying the report calls for support for teaching and research in departments to be maintained and increased so that they can continue to contribute to the economy and increase their capacity. Despite recent increases in the uptake of STEM subjects at university, there is still an estimated annual shortfall of around 40,000 STEM graduates in the UK.

UK Immigration: the impact of UK immigration law on chemistry research and education
1 September 2014
Attracting world-class researchers to the UK is essential to maintaining the UK's reputation as the best place to do science. The UK must be seen as 'open for business' and welcoming to scientists and researchers. This position statement outlines our recommendations with respect to UK immigration law for ensuring this is the case.
Supply & demand
Sustainability of expertise: Chemistry as a strategically important & vulnerable subject
30 October 2013
The Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) award additional funding to subjects they consider to be strategically important but potentially vulnerable and therefore in need of support (SIVS). Vulnerabilities might include more expensive equipment or a greater number of teaching hours needed to teach a subject at degree level. In 2013 we provided the HEFCE with evidence of the strategic importance and vulnerabilities of chemistry in the UK, particularly on the issue of sustainability of expertise.
Diversity: Women in STEM careers
30 September 2013
The House of Commons Science and Technology Select Committee launched an inquiry into the loss of women from Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) careers in June 2013. Evidence relating to the 'leaky pipeline', a term often used to describe the continuous loss of women at consecutive career stages within STEM, was sought.
Our response was based upon evidence gathered from a number of reports, surveys and publications, together with contributions from several members of the Royal Society of Chemistry who are experts in diversity (including gender) issues, and those closely involved in the Athena SWAN application and assessment process. Diversity issues in science extend beyond gender and most of the recommendations in this report could be translated to support diversity more widely.
STEM subjects in higher education: Challenges & opportunities
10 May 2012
The chemical sciences develop an understanding of the world in which we live from an atomic and molecular viewpoint, and, drawing on the development of new knowledge and understanding of the properties of substances and the interactions between different types of matter and analytical and problem-solving skills, help us to tackle societal problems such as health, energy, climate change, resource efficiency, and food and water supply. In 2012 we provided evidence to the House of Lords on STEM subjects in higher education.
- RSC Response to the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee "Call for Evidence: Higher Education in STEM Subjects"
Postgraduate funding: EPSRC Centres for Doctoral Training
31 July 2012
The Funding Councils currently provide funding for PhD students through three main routes: Centres for Doctoral Training (CDTs), Industrial CASE (iCASE) studentships and Doctoral Training Partnerships (DTPs). DTPs have traditionally been allocated based on the research grant income already held by a research organisation, though most research councils are moving towards allocating funding in a way that reflects their strategic aims. This document outlines the doctoral training landscape and the position that CDTs have within this.
- RSC Response to the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council Centres for Doctoral Training 2013 exercise
Funding reform: response to the government's proposed reforms to the higher education sector in England
30 September 2011
In June 2011, the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills presented a White Paper ("Students at the Heart of the System") to Parliament outlining proposals to reform the higher education sector in England. These reforms were designed to tackle three challenges: making the system financially sustainable by shifting public spending away from teaching grants and towards repayable tuition loans; delivering a better student experience by improving teaching, assessment, feedback and preparation for the world of work; and increasing social mobility. Read below the joint response we issued with the Institute of Physics and the Society of Biology in September 2011.

Customer Reviews
January 2014
Great value and easy to use.
June 2016
the website and broacher are not up to date- one option no longer exists and another no longer accepted the card! It was a complete waste of time and money. DO NOT get the Brisbane Flexi pass
December 2013
This was an absolute waste of money. We bought the five-attraction pass, planning to use the hop-on-hop-off bus to get around to the attractions. We quickly found out that the hop-on bus didn't go to most of the attractions included in the package. Secondly, there are only two locations that will allow you to pick up your iVenture card. One is at the Koala sanctuary, and after we got there on a city bus (not part of the package) they were unable to issue us a card. When they talked to the Viator representative, they were told to tell us to go to the Queen Street Mall info desk and they would issue the card there. We did so, and they were unable to issue us a card. They sent us to the information booth on the south side of the river. I walked about 2 km over the bridge in the pouring rain to pick up the iVenture card, and once I got there the attendant was very helpful and I got the card in about 3 minutes. It was then another 2km walk over the bridge in the pouring rain to get back to the QS Mall.
This is not a good value. It is difficult to actually get the card and once you do, it is difficult to get to the attractions. I called the Viator number I had from our confirmation and I never did get the correct information on how to redeem the card.
This was not a good value. THIS IS NOT A GOOD VALUE!
