A Probiotic Approach to Beauty
Nude Founders Ali Hewson and Bryan Meehan on All-Natural Skin Care and Celebrity Endorsements
In 2007, Ali Hewson joined forces with Bryan Meehan, the former owner of U.K. organic grocer Fresh and Wild, to create Nude skin care. The pair was immediately simpatico.
Hewson, who co-founded the eco-friendly clothing line Edun in 2005 with her husband, U2 frontman Bono, says she was taken with Meehan's conviction that probiotics—acknowledged as playing an important role in the health of the gut—could work just as well on the external (skin). They both wanted to create a product range that was all-natural, eco-friendly, great looking and effective, free from the things that have become beauty's dirty words: parabens, sulfates, synthetic color, silicones, mineral oil and synthetic fragrance, among others.
Nude, trademarked by Hewson and Bono when they launched Edun and originally intended for a chain of juice bars, is a transposal of their clothing line's brand name. It was the subject of a 2009 lawsuit, when the company took Stella McCartney to court for use of the word nude in her fragrance, Stella Nude. The claim wasn't upheld.
Last February, LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, purchased a 70% controlling stake in Nude; Hewson, Meehan and their long-term partner, Paddy McKillen, retained the other 30%. LVMH also owns a 49% stake in Edun. In September, Nude will release its second generation of skin care with n-probiotic, which the company says optimizes cell activity and triggers the skin to produce its own anti-aging ingredients.
Hewson: Ultimately I don't think celebrity endorsements work—and I don't think of myself as a celebrity in any case. Sure, you can get press for a product, but if the product isn't desirable and effective, you won't sell it. People are not easily fooled.
Hewson: That said, we keep Bono out of skin care. He doesn't use the product—but my girls do.
Meehan: We have been working together since 2004. Ali really is the vision behind this. Because of my background with Fresh and Wild, I had a hunch that microflora delivered in a serum, oil or cream, could do for your skin what it does for your gut. Ali connected with that straight away.
Hewson: Brian lives in San Francisco and I live in Ireland, so we're about as far away as you could possibly get. But with phones and email, it works. And we are always on planes, so we do meet up.
Meehan: I don't think we've ever had a proper argument. It's the Irish in us; we like to talk and discuss. We're agreeable and we trust each other.
Hewson: Nude was always about feeding your skin the good stuff. We were convinced that these incredible probiotics and omega oils could do for your skin what they could do for your body.
Meehan: A crime of beauty is that there are still far too many chemicals and synthetic ingredients used in skin care.
Meehan: Education is a big thing for us. In the U.K., consumers are well-educated about the issues with [genetic modification] and natural foods. And in beauty terms, they are not opposed to the idea of putting oils on their skin. In America, it's still a process of awareness raising. Let's just say that there's a reason GM still exists in America.
Hewson: In the same way that you feed your body, you can feed your skin. We were focused on the product being able to help your skin protect against pollutants and re-energize itself, and we wanted it to be as natural as it could be.
Hewson: We insisted on the chic packaging. We didn't want it to feel too health-food shop or too granola-ish.
Hewson: If you ask me to name a crime of fashion, I think I have committed most of them.
Meehan: We believe that if there's a product out there that looks and feels good, and it does the skin good, then the consumer will drive the market and the performance of the brand. These days, this stuff has to work, as well as just making your skin feel good.
Meehan: The great thing about being with a company like LVMH is that they have resources that we could only dream of. We have had an R&D lab working on [second-generation products] for us for 18 months. There were 100 and something iterations of the product. The other aspect of LVMH is their discipline. When we first began our relationship with them, one executive in particular kept saying to me: Well, tell me about Nude in 60 seconds. And guess what? I couldn't. We just didn't think of the product line in those terms. Being with LVMH has made us much more focused.
Hewson: It took us much longer to get here than we anticipated. But we still have very big ambitions for the brand to go much farther.

The Chinese 15th Airborne Corps (three airborne divisions and an aviation brigade) has, for the last two decades, been the primary airborne infantry force in the Chinese military, and the primary rapid reaction force as well. China has enough air transports (Il-76s, Yu-8s, Yu-7s) to move one of the 11,000 man airborne divisions to anywhere in China within 48 hours. This was demonstrated two years ago, when one division was sent to Sichuan province, to assist in earthquake relief. The first use of this capability was in1988, when a division was moved to Tibet.
The 15th Airborne Corps is now receiving more helicopters, and practicing tactical movements, via helicopter, for airborne brigades. These exercises are becoming more frequent, as more of the 15th Airborne Corps nine paratroops brigades, are trained to undertake these helicopter movements and assaults. These operations would be a major feature of an attempt to take Taiwan by force.

|Review by: Gary
|Well the last person that reviewed this course pretty much nailed it. The front nine is short, but not unchallenging. If you keep the ball in the fairway, you can expect to score fairly well. The front nine will challenge a long hitter to try and drive the greens on par 4 #2 (270 yds). Watch out for the deep sand trap..... The back nine is totally different, it's much longer than the front. It has a monster par 4 hole #13 which plays 450yds. It's everthing and a little more off the tee to have a chance of landing along 2nd shot to this green! All in all, a nice affordable course.

Treaties of Velasco
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The Treaties of Velasco were two documents signed at Velasco, Texas (now Surfside Beach, Texas) on May 14, 1836, between Antonio López de Santa Anna of Mexico and the Republic of Texas, in the aftermath of the Battle of San Jacinto on April 21, 1836. The signatories were Interim President David G. Burnet for Texas and Santa Anna for Mexico. The treaties were intended, on the part of Texas, to provide a conclusion of hostilities between the two belligerents and to offer the first steps toward the official recognition of the breakaway republic's independence.
Santa Anna signed both a public treaty and a secret treaty, but neither treaty was ratified by the Mexican government because he had signed the documents under coercion, as a prisoner. Mexico claimed Texas was a breakaway province, but it was too weak to attempt another invasion. The documents were not even called "treaties" until so characterized by US President James K. Polk in his justifications for war some ten years later, as Representative Abraham Lincoln pointed out in 1848.[1]
Public treaty[edit]
The public treaty consisted of ten articles, and was to be published immediately.
- Personal undertaking by Santa Anna not to take up arms, or encourage arms to be taken up, against the people of Texas in the war of independence .
- Cessation of hostilities, on sea and land, between Texas and Mexico.
- Mexican troops to evacuate the territory of Texas, relocating south of the Rio Grande (Río Bravo del Norte).
- Mexican troops to refrain from taking property without due compensation, etc., during their retreat.
- All property (including horses, cattle etc.) captured by Mexico during the war and negro slaves freed by the Mexican army had to be returned.
- The two armies to avoid contact, keeping a distance of five leagues (approx. 27.78 km).
- The Mexican army to retreat without tarrying.
- Dispatches to be sent to the commanders of the two armies, informing them of the treaty's content.
- Mexico to release all Texan prisoners, with Texas releasing the same number of Mexican prisoners of the same rank; all other Mexican prisoners to be retained by Texas.
- Santa Anna to be conveyed to Veracruz as soon as deemed proper.
Nonratification by Mexico[edit]
Although Gen. Vicente Filisola began troop withdrawals on May 26, the government of President José Justo Corro in Mexico City resolved, on May 20, to disassociate itself from all undertakings entered into by Santa Anna while he was held captive. Mexico's position was that Santa Anna had no legal standing in the Mexican government to agree to those terms or negotiate a treaty;
Santa Anna's position was that he had signed the documents under coercion as a prisoner, not as a surrendering general in accordance with the laws of war. In fact, he had no authority under the Mexican Constitution to make a treaty, and in any case, the treaties were never ratified by the Mexican government.
Noncompliance by Texas[edit]
Santa Anna was not given passage to Veracruz. He was kept as a prisoner of war ("clapped in irons for six months", he later claimed) in Velasco and, later, in the Orozimbo plantation, before being taken to Washington, D.C., in the United States to meet with President Andrew Jackson (ostensibly to negotiate a lasting peace between Mexico and Texas, with the USA acting as mediator). Sailing on the frigate USS Pioneer, the guest of the U.S. Navy, he did not arrive in Veracruz until February 23, 1837.
Because the provisions of the public treaty were not met, the terms of the secret agreement were not released until much later. Although a fait accompli since mid-1836, neither the independence of Texas nor its later annexation by the U.S. was formally recognized by Mexico until the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ended the Mexican-American War that resulted from the annexation and recognized the Rio Grande (Río Bravo del Norte) as the Mexico – United States border.

No, you also can't be within a hundred miles of a NASCAR track, and there's one in KCK. Because southerners (which includes Kansas City, because hockey has failed in Kansas City before) are all drawling, inbred, Dale-Junior-loving rednecks and NASCAR fans. And you can't like both NASCAR and hockey, everyone knows this.
I'm surprised, by the way, that there isn't a conflict of interest question or two that's being raised by this:
Can a guy own one team and lease an arena to another? That sounds like a big gray area to me.

Well, it looks like Detroit is on the move then. JLA is only 72 miles from MIS.

I'll second that. One of the reasons why I finally agreed to move to Phoenix from Austin was the chance to see the Wings twice a year without having to drive to Dallas. Besides, it warms my cockles to hear "Let's Go Red Wings" echoing through the concourse of Jobing.com Arena!

Yeah. The Blackhawks and Bruins, too. The Predators have shown everyone that NASCAR and hockey can't coexist, so how does this sound: Medicine Hat Blackhawks, and Charlottetown Bruins. Canada needs more teams.

Ha, yeah. CLEARLY, the NASCAR race in Las Vegas is the reason the NHL never expanded to Sin City. (j/k)
I thought about this a million different ways, but it usually just leads me back to the fact that there are too many teams. Contraction is a dirty word in sports, and I would hate to do that to fans of the Islanders, Coyotes, Predators, etc., but honestly, if those teams relocate anyway, why is that any better than just contracting the team?
The league is spread too thin. People don't want to talk about contraction b/c it's like a sign of weakness, but I maintain that this was always predominantly a regional game, and getting it back to the number of teams it had just 20 years ago could ultimately prevent the league from having multiple teams losing serious money.
It would also improve the quality of the product. Imagine if every team in the league sent their 4th line to the minors and had their 3rd line as the "worst line" on the team. If 2-4 teams were contracted, this would essentially be the effect. Each team would add several skill players through a dispersal draft, too. And if you didn't have three teams in California, two in New York, and random teams in places where only Frost Belt transplants care about hockey, I'd have to think attendance would be better, on average.

Don't forget about the Whitehorse Predators. Who cares if they're up in the Yukon Territory? They're in Canada, they can't fail!

If you put them in Iqaluit, Tootoo's family could go see him play. What a nice story that would be. And they wouldn't even have to build an arena. Outdoor hockey every day.

The team is not going anywhere.
One, The team makes a profit where they are now due to the hugely generous TV package they have
Two, the owner has lived in NYC all his American life and has no plans to go anywhere
Just because the media speculates something, doesn't mean it is true. There has been media speculation since the early 90s that the Islanders were moving..............and every time a building becomes available, the speculation increases.
Charles Wang has steadfastly maintained that the Islanders aren't going anywhere.

No sirree. You heard the criteria. We're gonna have to get the Kings and Ducks out of NASCAR country, actually, there's a track down there too. We still haven't given teams to Sherbrooke or Kelowna. People around this site have proven time and again with actual serious proposals to put teams in places like Saskatoon or Maine that they don't care how many people are in a place, they just care that those people live in the ice and snow.

I'm not sure I really want them to move to the Eastern Conference though. I think they'd be more likely to sink down to the level of the Eastern teams rather than maintain the high level they have from being constantly challenged in the West.
You are kidding right? I looked this up because on a map they seem to be about the same. Doing a general search I found that both Detroit and Columbus are at latitude of about -83 degrees west. Zero latitude is in the middle of the Atlantic so the higher negative number is further east.
Then I searched for JLA and Nationwide Arena.
This means that NWA is actuually further east by 0.0453 degrees latitude which is approximately 5 km or only about 3 miles.
SO technically you are right, Nationwide Arena is 3 miles further East than the Joe.
Longitude not Latitude...

A. Externships for Foreign Medical Students On July 6, 1965, a memorandum on the above subject was mailed by the Chairman of the Council on Medical Education to all hospitals with approved internship and residency programs. There was no intention to disturb the long-established pattern of summer clerkships which many US hospitals offer to undergraduate medical students for strictly educational purposes. In such instances, the students are not employed for the primary purpose of completing histories and physicals, but those histories and physical examinations which they do perform are done under careful supervision and are only supplementary to the record. If salaries are paid to such individuals for services rendered to the hospitals, then such services will consist of those technical duties as described in the Note at the end of the followed quoted memorandum:This memorandum is occasioned by the recent increase in requests from United States

The Journal (NE Business) featured HaveToLove winning the Drapers Award for Best New Business 2007.
New Kid in Town Wins Top Fashion Award
Fashion boutique in Gosforth, Newcastle has won a prestigious national award just a year after opening for business.
Entrepreneurial owner Kate Walton picked up the Best New Business Prize at the Drapers' Awards 2007 held at the Grosvener House Hotel in London. Kate beat off competition from across the UK and Ireland to win the award, part of an event held by fashion retail bible The Drapers Record.
The award was judged on overall performance, sales figures, staff, brands sold and the overall look of the shop. Kate said "This is fantastic for a business like mine because its such a prestigious fashion award."
"Ive only been open a year so it's a great start. The award puts us on the map and its great for Newcastle too - it puts us on the map as a fashion capital. I am looking at expanding in the next year, both upstairs in the exsisting shop and maybe another shop somewhere in the north.
"We've also just brought out a website and we will be marketing that more than we have been doing."
The Best New Business Award was one of 19 statuettes presented in a ceremony hosted by comedian Simon Amstell. The awards citation said: "The HaveToLove boutique, in the style of a luxury boudoir, exemplifies everything that is great about a new fashion retail buisiness.
"An up to the minute and on-trend product mix from brands such as Anna Rita N, J Brand and Pinko is combined with an impeccably well maintained shop decorated in a retro feminine palette of hot pink and black.
"Customer service is a real focus of havetolove, with owner Kate Walton and assistant Jill Hodgson warm, welcoming and knowledgeable about their wares.
"An impressive range of professional and personal marketing activities show that this store has its marketing and promotional head firmly screwed on. There is a bright future for this exciting shop."

CHICAGO -- Landscaping contractors across Illinois can look forward to a safer summer season for their employees thanks to a new safety alliance between the Illinois Landscape Contractors Association and the Illinois offices of the U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
OSHA health and safety alliances are part of Labor Secretary Elaine L. Chao's ongoing efforts to improve the health and safety of workers through cooperative partnerships.
"OSHA is making special efforts to improve job safety and health in the landscaping industry, due to its relatively high rate of work-related injuries," said Diane Turek, OSHA's area director in Des Plaines, Ill. "By working with the association we can educate member contractors about OSHA safety standards and prevent accidents."
The OSHA and ILCA alliance will achieve its goals through safety and health programs, training, participation in conferences and forums and sharing of best practices. Participation in the alliance is voluntary for landscaping contractors and sub-contractors. The alliance will remain in effect for two years.
Since 2001, the Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration has created more than 160 alliances with organizations committed to fostering safety and health in the workplace. More alliance information can be found on OSHA's Web site, www.osha.gov.
