Introducing the Easy Ceiling Factory
Easy Ceiling Technologies is fairly unique in that we are one of the only UK stretch ceiling suppliers to have our own factory, in Hailsham, East Sussex. This means we can control the whole process for you; from manufacture through to supply, install and aftercare.
Having our own factory gives us numerous advantages.
As we are the manufacturer, supplier and installer we have complete control over your stretch ceiling installation. That means we can do it quicker than anyone else.
Having total control over the process ensures we can maintain our high quality standards.
Low prices
It's only us in our supply chain, there aren't multiple companies who need their cut. As a result we can guarantee the lowest stretch ceiling prices on the market without compromising the high quality of our product.
As we provide a full stretch ceiling service we have a full understanding of the product. This gives us much more expertise in helping you select the right ceiling for your property. The factory also gives us opportunity to ensure our team of installers receive expert training.
As a manufacturer we are constantly looking for new ways to innovate, be it new colours, textiles or dimensions. Recently we were the first company to introduce 5 metre wide printed stretch ceiling canvases to the UK. We love working with architects and designers to explore new ways stretch ceilings can be utilised. Our factory gives us the freedom to try out new options and experiment, like see if our ceilings can take our weight!
Design options
As we are producing your ceiling we can give you more options in terms of style, fabric, measurements and colours.
Though we will happily take care of every step of the process for you for you we can also offer you flexibility. Here are four examples of different ways we can work with you.
1. Manufacture, Supply and Install
Once we have decided the ceiling fabric and design you need we will manufacture it, then supply and install at your location. This is advisable for property owners or business who are looking for a one time installation.
2. Manufacture & Supply
This is advisable for trained installers. We can just produce and supply stretch ceiling canvases and components required for you to do the install yourself. If you don't have trained installers in your team but want to become a regular installer of stretch ceilings we suggest option 3.
3. Installation training
Our team of expert installers will train your team. A smart way to do this is hands-on with your first stretch ceiling install, we can guide you through the process. We're always on hand if you get stuck or need help with future projects.
4. Set up your own factory!
So you are regular installer of stretch ceilings and you want to grow your business further? To maximise efficiency, especially if you are operating in a new country, we suggest you set up your own local production of the product, establishing contracts with local suppliers of components (profiles, protecting rings, platforms, etc). We can help you with the start-up of this business, as we have recently done in Algeria.
If you would like to learn more about Easy Ceiling Technologies please get in touch, or why not come and visit our factory?
11 things you probably didn't know about stretch ceilings
Though the concept of stretch ceilings dates back to Ancient Egypt times the majority of people have still never heard of them. So if you are relatively new to the idea, you might be interested to hear about some of unique properties of stretch ceilings.
1. You can stand on them!
It's true. And we've got proof. In this short video one of our installers puts his whole weight on a demo stretch ceiling in our factory in East Sussex.
2. Easy to clean
It's no coincidence our name is Easy Ceiling Technologies. Because they are made of PVC elastic, stretch ceilings are incredibly easy to keep clean. Simply wipe with water or window cleaner.
3. They don't absorb odours
Stretch ceilings are a great choice for restaurants and kitchens. There are unlimited design options so you can get that real wow factor. They don't absorb odours either keeping your restaurant or home smelling nice and fresh.
4. They're waterproof
Unlike some other ceiling options, stretch ceilings are waterproof. Just one square metre of stretch ceiling can hold up to 100 litres of water. At the end of this video (start it at 0:50) our installers demonstrate how this works. They also show how easy it is to get rid of the water leak with absolutely no damage to the ceiling.
5. They don't catch fire
Stretch ceilings are non-flammable. When they are exposed to fire the material just melts away. Hot bits of material do not drop of the ceiling and the fire does not spread.
6. You can print on them
Unlike your traditional plasterboard ceiling, there are a huge amount of options for how you can finish your ceiling. The most eye-catching has to be a printed ceiling. Cloudy sky is the most popular design but why not use a print of your favourite artwork or your company branding.
7. They're the perfect party ceiling
Because they are incredibly strong, easy to clean and odour resistant, stretch ceilings are a fantastic choice if you like to party. But what about flying champagne corks? That's covered too. See a demo of what happens in this video (start it at 0:26).
8. You can create different levels and shapes to your ceiling
A ceiling is flat and all on one-level, right? Not so with stretch ceilings. You can create any manner of 3D shapes and curves.
9. They can be installed in under a day
It can take as little as five hours to install your stretch ceiling. That's about the same time as a round of golf, so why don't you grab your clubs and head off, when you come back you'll have a new ceiling! Not a golfer? I'm sure you can think of something nice to do. You won't have to prepare the room or tidy up after either.
10. They are ultra hygienic
There's no coincidence that stretch ceilings are highly recommended for healthcare and medical environments. As mentioned already they are very easy to clean and do not corrode or suffer from condensation or damp.
11. They are great for acoustics
Your standard stretch ceiling is already great for acoustics. But go one step further and use a special micro-perforated membrane which can be tuned to match your acoustic needs. Fancy eh?
So there you have it. I hope you've learned something new? Please get in touch to find out more.
How to Install a Stretch Ceiling in 10 Easy Steps
As a manufacturer, supplier and installer we like to think we know a thing or two about stretch ceilings.
So here's our illustrated guide on how to install a stretch ceiling in 10 easy steps.
If video is more your thing please head to straight to the bottom of this post.
1. Decide to use a stretch ceiling
We're a stretch ceiling supplier but we have to be honest there are certain circumstances where a stretch ceiling might not be the best option. Not many circumstances though! The core advantages of stretch ceilings are they can be installed far more rapidly than other ceiling options (see our comparison table), they are easy and low cost to maintain, and they come in a range of finishes, including printed ceilings! They are also very durable, safe and reliable. For all these reasons they are a very popular choice for medical, educational and health and leisure interiors such as bars, restaurants, swimming pools and gyms.
2. Choose your fabric
So you've made the wise decision to go stretch, but what fabric and colour do you want? Gloss, satin or matt finish? Translucent or shaped? Or perhaps you want to print your favourite image or company logo on your ceiling? Check out stretch ceiling design options here.
3. Choose your supplier
Once you've chosen your design you need to choose a supplier. Easy Ceiling guarantees the lowest prices on the market and we are in the unique position to offer a full-service; from manufacture of your fabric to the final install and aftercare. But we still advise you to get quotes from a range of suppliers and chose the right supplier for you.
4. Prepare the room
If you normally plaster your ceiling you're going to love this step. The room does not need to be completely cleared. You might need to make a bit of space but apart from that no preparation of the room is required. You can more or less start the install instantly!
5. Attach aluminium track
Your stretch ceiling is attached to your room via an aluminium track which is fitted to all four walls. If the ceiling is to cover a large space, aluminium tracks will need to be fitted at intervals across the ceiling to join panels of fabric.
6. Set light fixtures and other systems above the ceiling
Attach platforms for light fixtures or other systems (e.g. smoke alarms) to the original ceiling. Adjust the height of the platform so it is easy to pull relevant fixtures like lights though the ceiling and fit in place.
7. Heat the room
In order to stretch the ceiling fabric into place you need to use heat to increase its elasticity. We do this using portable gas heaters.
8. Attach the ceiling
Once the fabric has reached optimum elasticity it is fitted to the aluminium rack, corners first.
9. Pull through fixtures and fittings
Strengthening rings are glued to the canvas and then cut inside to make holes for light fixtures and other systems. Fixtures are connected to cables, pulled through the holes and then the springs to the fixture platforms above the canvas are engaged.
10. Final cleaning
Any handprints or marks on the ceiling canvas are removed with a damp cloth. Your stretch ceiling is now installed!
Hopefully you now know the basic steps to installing a Stretch Ceiling? We can always do the job for you – please get in touch. We're always interested to hear from people who might want to join our network of installers too. Free training is provided!
Lastly, here's a video so you can see the whole process in action.
How do stretch ceilings work with lights and other fittings and fixtures?
One of the most common questions we get asked by clients new to stretch ceilings is how can you accommodate fittings and fixtures above the ceiling like lights, air-conditioning systems and fire alarm sensors.
I always like this question because the answer is quite straightforward. Stretch ceilings are suspended ceiling systems. They are fitted (stretched) to a room via aluminium rails which are attached to the top of each wall. This leaves lots of room between the stretch ceiling and the original ceiling for fixtures and fittings. Aha you say, but how can you access them? Let me explain a bit further.
Lights and stretch ceilings
This basic diagram gives you an idea of how it works. 'Structural soffit' is the technical term for 'original ceiling'. The light is attached to the original ceiling via a bracket. It is then connected to the original ceiling via the bracket ring. It is important to note that the height of the bracket is flexible to fit the gap between the original and stretch ceiling. Strengthening rings are used to further protect the stretch ceiling where it borders the light. The decorative element of the light will hide the strengthening rings so they will not be seen from below.
The image below is taken from a stretch ceiling installation we undertook for Zehnder, the heating group. You can see the circular spotlight brackets before the ceiling is installed.
And here's how the lights look after the ceiling has been installed.
Other fittings and fixtures
So hopefully you now understand how lights are attached to a stretch ceiling but how about other fixtures and fittings? Alarm sensors, as you might expect, are fitted in much the same way as lights. Other systems can also be secured to your original ceiling using brackets. One of the most handy aspects of stretch ceilings is they can easily be used to hide vent ducts. In another picture from our Zehnder installation below you can see two horizontal white panels with large circular holes which are used to neatly accommodate all vent ducts.
How I can I access the system if things go wrong?
We use access hatches which can be placed at relevant points on the ceilings so you can easily access air-conditioning or alarm systems to turn them on or off or perform maintenance work. In the finished picture of the Zehnder showroom above you can see a square access hatch on the right hand edge of the ceiling.
Further questions?
I would hope you can now understand how lights and other fixtures and fittings can be easily accommodated with a stretch ceiling. Of course, if you have more questions please get in touch.
Stretch Ceilings – stronger than you think
One of the biggest misconceptions about stretch ceilings is they're not very strong. It is easy to be fooled by their appearance, a very thin film of pvc elastic canvas, but let us assure you stretch ceilings are very, very strong.
Please watch this strength test video below, carried out by our installers, Andrew and Peter.
If you don't have time here's a quick summary of the tests.
1. Golf club poke
In this first test Andrew has grabbed a golf club, it looks like a seven iron, and is poking the ceiling with the club. You can see an impression being made but then the ceiling shape and appearance quickly reverts back to what it was.
2. Golf ball throw
Now Andrew has got a golf ball and he throws it upwards as hard as he can. It just bounces off and again, the ceiling quickly reverts back to it's original appearance. There is no marking.
3. Popping cork
To celebrate his golf success Andrew now vigorously shakes up a bottle of brut and lets the cork fly at the ceiling. The result? No impact what so ever on the ceiling's appearance. None of the marking or damage you might expect on a plastered ceiling.
4. Major leak
Andrew and Peter use a funnel to 'leak' approximately 5 litres of dirty water on to the ceiling, through the light fitting. The ceiling just expands to accommodate the leak. Then a large bucket is placed under the light fitting and the ceiling is simply pressed around where the ceiling has expanded to guide the water through the light fitting area into the bucket. Again the ceiling reverts back to its exact original appearance.
So there you have it, four simple tests to illustrate how strong stretch ceilings are. This is one of the reasons that they are so easy to maintain, because it's hard to damage them! So hard in fact that we offer a 10 year guarantee on all our stretch ceiling systems. You might be surprised to hear that stretch ceilings can cost the same if not less than more traditional ceiling options, quicker and less messy to install too. Factor in their reliability and the flexibility of designs and you can understand why many people are switching to stretch ceilings. If you would like a free quote please get in touch.

"The entrance to the hotel was on one of the city's less attractive side-streets. Although just a couple of hundred yards from the bohemian quarter in one direction, and a hop, skip and jump from shiny glass coffee shops in the other, the fingerprint-dappled revolving doors themselves sat on an alleyway that was little more than an eight-foot-wide gutter. Underneath the neon blue sign – declaring the hotel's name in swooping, handwriting-style letters – blank glass windows and brass-effect fittings tried hard to deny the budget accommodation within. Marble flooring inside the doors continued this valiant effort, but was immediately betrayed by the empty space of a torn-out wheelchair lift and a cleaner wiping something sticky off the steps up to reception.
The hotel had three things to recommend it. Firstly, it was located right in the centre of the city and only a couple of minutes' walk from the station. Secondly, it had a cheap room available at short notice. As she pushed herself through the doors and walked past the ear-budded cleaner on the stairs, Sarah couldn't for the life of her remember what the third thing was."
(from my story 'Great Rates, Central Location' in Impossible Spaces)
As I'm hosting a few guest posts from the Impossible Spaces writers this month, I thought I should write a little something about my story in the collection and the inspiration behind it.
My story is called 'Great Rates, Central Location', and it's set in a city-centre budget hotel (NB: it is absolutely, positively not based on a real hotel). A young woman checks in to stay at this (not based on a real place) hotel while in town for a business meeting and… well… weird stuff happens. According to one reader, it's the sort of story that gives you 'vertigo'.
So: why did I choose to set my story in a budget hotel? There's a short answer and a long answer to this.
For the short answer, I have to credit horror author Simon Bestwick for the inspiration. In 2012, I was involved in running an event in Manchester that was, with the best will in the world, the stuff of nightmares. Imagine an event where (almost) everything goes wrong, to the point where things are so ludicrous you think you might be hallucinating. And the venue I had (foolishly) chosen was a budget hotel in Manchester. Our list of complaints about the hotel ranged from lack of wheelchair access to clocks that showed 6pm for most of the day before spinning their hands like they were possessed. It was horrific.
But one of the few good things about the event was the group of writers who took part – all of whom dealt with the nightmarish chaos with amazing professionalism. One of these writers was Simon Bestwick, and I've been fortunate to keep in contact with him since. He also has a story (the fantastic 'Trading Flesh') in Impossible Spaces, as does Richard Freeman who also spoke at the convention. Anyway, a couple of months ago, Simon and I were reminiscing about the horrors of that event and about the venue in particular. Simon suggested that, crap as it was as an event venue, it would make a wonderful setting for a horror story. This made complete sense to me, and kicked off the train of ideas that led to 'Great Rates, Central Location' (though my story is not set in that particular hotel, no sir, not at all).
To explain why Simon's joking comment resonated so strongly with me, I have to give the long answer to the original question.
I love hotels. I think a lot of people do. They're not just convenient, comfortable, homely (sometimes) places to stay: they're food for the imagination. I adore TV programmes like Four in a Bed and The Hotel Inspector, and am just as intrigued by the nice places as the only-picked-because-they-make-good-telly establishments. I have to admit: I also love reading reviews on Tripadvisor – even of places I'll never actually visit. And some of these helped me select details to include in my story (which is not based in a real hotel, so I couldn't have used reviews of any specific establishment, scout's honour).
Fiction writers and the tales they weave have a weird relationship with hotels. Take Agatha Christie, for instance. Her detective novels are often set in hotels – this choice of setting is really appropriate for murder mysteries, as it allows a large group of people, who may or may not have a connection to one another, to be brought together and forced into close proximity. Unlike at home, guests at a hotel can hide their identities and their secrets, arrive under assumed names and conduct clandestine affairs. But Christie has another, more personal, connection to hotels – her mysterious disappearance in 1926 culminated in her being discovered at the Swan Hydropathic Hotel (beautiful name) in Harrogate, where she'd registered under an assumed name. What she was doing there remains the only Agatha Christie mystery that has never been solved.
Hotels aren't just mysterious, though. They can also be horrific. Obviously, no post about hotels and fiction would be complete without mention of Stephen King's wonderful Overlook Hotel (brought to the screen by Stanley Kubrick), the place where Jack Torrance learned that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. And tried to kill his family with an axe. Probably shouldn't forget the axe part.
The Shining is an almost perfect capturing of the two sides of hotels (certainly as far as writers are concerned). On the one hand, a hotel (especially a closed hotel with no other guests) is a retreat, and we romantically envisage ourselves locked away from the world, with home comforts but no distractions. We imagine sitting at the window (because, in this fantasy, all rooms have views), tapping away at our keyboards, having successfully blocked out our daily lives and mundanity. If we do venture out of the room, we hope it will be to a quirky dining room, filled with a cast of characters we can observe and recreate later in fictional form.
But The Shining reminds us of the fear that lies behind that fantasy. That if we spend too long locked away from our daily lives and mundanity, we might just go absolutely bonkers. Jack's descent into maniacal rage is wonderfully contrasted with the splendour of the Overlook Hotel, and, in a way, this just seems to add to the wildness of his story.
Of course, my story isn't set in a grand old hotel like the ones you find in Agatha Christie or Stephen King. It's set in a slightly shoddy, slightly grimy budget hotel, where some of the rooms don't have windows and the staff don't really care. The sort of place where you're not completely comfortable using the bathroom and there are strange yells during the night. (Not that it's based on any real hotel, of course.)
I travel a lot at the moment, mostly to attend conferences and events, and I don't have enough money to stay in places like the Overlook Hotel or the Old Swan in Harrogate every time I go away. I stay in B & Bs or budget hotels. And I've had a range of experiences, from the sublime to the ridiculous, as a result.
One place I stayed in – an establishment that smelt, it has to be said, entirely of egg – was run by a strange man who shuffled around in a dirty jumper and tatty slippers, and who kept talking about his mother. But there was no mother to be seen. It was like staying at a cross between the Bates Motel and a house that smelt entirely of egg.
Another place offered a 'colour television' in all rooms (as though a less luxurious black-and-white option might be offered elsewhere). There was indeed a TV in my room, but the batteries in the remote control had long since corroded so I couldn't switch it on.
And I stayed in one budget hotel in London where my room had no number, and only fit a bed that looked to have been hastily squeezed in there. I think the room had been a cupboard up until I arrived. Everything at that hotel was filthy, and the staff all looked so hopelessly forlorn it broke my heart. The 'continental breakfast' was a plate with two slices of white bread, two slices of ham and a Dairylea triangle (covered over with cling-film).
I might sound like I'm complaining about these places, but I actually love them. Okay… I did feel a little scared at the eggy Bates Motel place, and I once spent a morning vomiting after eating the cooked breakfast at a budget (chain) hotel. But when it comes to creative inspiration, I find these places utterly enthralling. Forget big rambling grand old houses with waistcoated bellhops and aloof receptionists. Getting lost in a seven-storey chain hotel while looking for a vending machine is the stuff of genuine nightmares.
I have stayed in some lovely places. I stayed in a wonderful B & B in Cork once that was one of the warmest, friendliest places I've ever been. And my other half and I love the little B & B we stay in when we make our annual trips to Whitby.
But it's the blank-eyed, don't-care, bad-breakfast, curtains-that-don't-shut-properly aura of the budget hotel that inspires my writing. This isn't horror in the overblown, Gothic sense, but a more banal, insidious claustrophobia. Some people might describe budget hotels as soulless – I disagree. These places definitely have a soul, but that soul is worn down, broken and twisted. And I love them for that.
So, that's the inspiration for 'Great Rates, Central Location'. I hope you'll check my story out, along with the other fab stories in Impossible Spaces. And I hope you think I've done justice to my grotty little budget muses.

Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) Baytown
The ankle-brachial index is a test that compares the blood pressure in the feet to the blood pressure in the arms.
This test is used to diagnose peripheral artery disease (PAD) and it's severity.
A normal resting ankle-brachial index is 1.0 to 1.4. This means that your blood pressure at your ankle is the same or greater than the pressure at your arm, and suggests that you do not have significant narrowing or blockage of blood flow
An abnormal resting ankle-brachial index is 0.9 or lower and is diagnostic for PAD. This drop may be important, because PAD can be linked to a higher risk of heart attack or stroke.

If you or a loved one would like help understand your risks to prevent heart disease, make an appointment for an evaluation and screening with Dr. Sami today.

A House panel on Wednesday is set to examine some of the barriers to marijuana research amid a growing disconnect between federal and state policies.
"There is a chasm between the federal laws and what over 30 states are doing," Rep. Anna EshooAnna Georges EshooHow to expand rural broadband, fast and affordably Hillicon Valley: Productivity, fatigue, cybersecurity emerge as top concerns amid pandemic | Facebook critics launch alternative oversight board | Google to temporarily bar election ads after polls close Lawmakers introduce legislation to boost cybersecurity of local governments, small businesses MORE (D-Calif.) told The Hill in an interview Tuesday.
Eshoo, the chairwoman of the House Energy and Commerce health subcommittee, said she wants to hear officials at the Food and Drug Administration and the Drug Enforcement Agency explain why the federal government is potentially blocking research into the effects of marijuana.
"It's very important if you're going to be using cannabis for medicinal purposes, you need to have the data, the outcomes and all of that, so that needs to be examined," Eshoo said.
Marijuana is a Schedule I drug, meaning it is in the same category as drugs like heroin and LSD. According to the federal government, it has a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical value.
The hearing is expected to explore the barriers to cannabis research, federal efforts to review and approve cannabidiol (CBD) products, as well as several pieces of cannabis-related legislation.
Ahead of the hearing, a host of cannabis industry groups sent a letter to the committee expressing support for legislation to deschedule marijuana to make it easier to research.
While some lawmakers have expressed interest in rescheduling marijuana, the groups said all restrictions need to be removed.
"While rescheduling on its own may provide some benefit in terms of facilitating research, it could complicate the federal-state relationship with respect to cannabis," the groups wrote.
Advocates are eyeing the Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment, and Expungement (MORE) Act, which is set to be examined Wednesday. The bill would deschedule marijuana, and it would expunge criminal records of those with marijuana-related convictions.
The industry groups also called for federal regulatory oversight.
"We support robust federal regulatory guidance and oversight that informs the development of additional safety protocols and produces greater regulatory consistency of product marketing, safety and oversight across state and national borders," they wrote.
While 33 states have legalized marijuana for medicinal purposes, federal research is extremely restricted. In September, the administration said it would expand the number of marijuana growers, potentially signaling a positive change after years of agency inaction and delay.
But advocates are skeptical that the government will make changes, even though reforms are long overdue.
A facility at the University of Mississippi has been the sole grower of federally approved marijuana since 1968.
Researchers and lawmakers from both parties have said the single source is too limiting, but experts said officials across multiple administrations have not provided an adequate reason why marijuana research is so restricted.
Eshoo said she hoped officials will provide answers.

Hi - those who do bikram! Do you do an additional exercise for cardio - or do you find you get it from doing bikram? The times I've done bikram, I know the heart rate goes up; but, the breath is through the nose (more controlled, not heavy breathing). And, I've always wondered about the cardio question.
Hi Raw Yogis... I need help. I used to do Bikram A LOT. I hadn't done much in the past year....and I have just gone HCRV for a little over a month now at 100%. I have had blood sugar issues in the past, but my blood sugar is pretty stable now...and I REALLY want to go back and do Bikram now. I don't go hours without eating now, so how can I do this without crashing in the middle of the class? Not saying that will happen, but I think it wise to prepare with my history of blood sugar (low) issues. How soon before I go could I eat without getting ILL? Could I bring (should I?) juice into the session with me to sip on instead of water? Would that make me ILL? What do you recommend or what do you do right after your session? What do you eat? Drink? I LOVE LOVE LOVE Bikram and Being RAW.
Thanks in advance for any help! Namaste :)

Though most political parties distanced themselves from the 126 day Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf sit in, they have exposed the hypocrisy of their anti-Imran Khan stance by rushing to the Judicial Commission. Even critics admit that PTI has set a trend for the course of future electoral politics.
There are many question marks on the fairness of elections that need to be addressed by a combined effort of research organisations, witnesses before the judicial commission and the commission itself. These would expose systemic organisational and ethical flaws, wilful or implied complicity, glaring areas of suspicion and beneficiaries. Bits and pieces of evidence may never be enough. The Judicial Commission and its Joint Investigation Teams (JIT) will have to go through the tedious process of collection, collation, investigation of concrete evidence. Depending how it is handled, this could either be futile, or bear fruit.
Role of Ex-Chief Justice of Supreme Court
Officials of the Ministry of Law and National Accountability Bureau (NAB) allege that Chaudhry Iftikhar's role was beyond his powers. Rather than delegate judges as Returning Officers (ROs) he exercised complete control to the extent that a member of ECP was forced to comment to the media that ROs were not in his control. His activism to influence Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) and NAB, two autonomous organisations that do not fall directly under the Supreme Court must be investigated.
The Attorney General and Chairman NAB exchanged correspondence on this subject with the Prime Minister and President. Systematically, NAB was rendered toothless and irrelevant. NAB furnished details on defaults and transparency, which were excluded from the verification process. The most relevant pertained to the Sharif brothers.
The former Attorney General and Chairman NAB will have to appear before the Judicial Commission to testify their knowledge of planned rigging. Else they should be summoned by the Judicial Commission to present their evidence. Two very important cases are the letter by the former to the Government regarding changes in ballot papers by Chaudary Iftikhar and a letter by Chairman NAB to the President regarding his functional constraints and planned pre poll rigging.
Voting Patterns Suggest Organised Rigging
The second question pertains to Punjab and Sindh where most rigging allegations surfaced. Wherever the voter turnout surpassed 40-60%, the pattern in surge was similar. In addition, over 40 polling stations all over Pakistan recorded more than 100% turnout.
Unexplainable skewness in voting patterns in the National Assembly accounts for over 58 PML-N seats in Punjab and 15 PPP seats in Sindh. Out of these, 31 seats were won by incumbents with an unprecedented surge in votes. Hence incumbents playing an organised role in pre poll rigging cannot be ruled out.
In terms of population, Punjab recorded a turnout of 60% and Sindh 54% accounting for a surge of 8,488,440. This surge compared to votes registered by ECP and NADRA puts a question mark on 11.8 million new votes in 2013. Through mathematical simulations, rigging plans in 73 National Assembly (and corresponding Provincial Assembly) seats in Punjab and Sindh where PMLN and PPPP had the benefit of incumbency float on the surface. Both parties formed respective provincial governments.
This familiar pattern can be verified through thumb impressions and scrutiny of Forms 14-15. Judicial commission will have to give this task to a JIT.
Role of Punjab Government
Because 58 National Assembly seats of unfamiliar pattern including an equivalent of Provincial Assembly seats are from Punjab, the role of the Punjab Government in organised rigging needs investigation. Caretaker Chief Minister Punjab held several briefings and meetings for evaluation of surveys and prospects of PML-N.
On 26 April 2013 he held a meeting coordinated by Secretary Dr Tauqir Shah, CS Javed Aslam and others to discuss the prospects of PML-N in Punjab elections. A series of postings were carried out in Punjab. Salaries of lower staff including janitors were delayed and low-level employees were coerced them to vote for PML-N. All these details will have to be dug out by a JIT.
The printing of illegal ballot papers and provision of Urdu Bazar Staff to ECP was also facilitated by officials of the Punjab Government. There were a series of phone calls, mobile communications and SMS exchanges between the Punjab care takers, ECP and PMLN leaders. Reportedly these exchanges were also snooped by foreign intelligence agencies. The Judicial commission within its powers should ask PTA, PEMRA and intelligence agencies to provide transcripts of these communications.
With major rigging in Punjab, PMLN won 119/129 seats from Punjab. The early speech by Mian Nawaz Sharif on 13 May cannot be ignored. It prompted a process towards securing an absolute majority and lured 19 independents to join PMLN raising the tally of general seats to 148. This also affected the Senate. Formation of an oligarchy through majority in one particular province is an aspersion on the spirit of federation.
Role of ECP
It is evident that the ex and present Chairmen ECP have not exerted their positions provided by law. ECP ceded too timidly to the interference of the Ex-Chief Justice and ROs. For most of the time, CEC located himself in Karachi rather than Islamabad.
The communication systems provided by UNDP were field tested but failed at a crucial time. Someone ensured that this important aspect of transparency was rendered unserviceable.
The Post-Election Review Report for the General Elections 2013 points to numerous anomalies and bad practices. This report was deliberately made controversial by ECP. It appears no in-house inquiries were carried out.
Through a process of verification total augmented votes in 2013 came to 84,207,524. In hindsight it appears that the entire process of exclusion of unverified 37,186,053 votes was kept opaque. ECP and NADRA need to tell the Judicial Commission how many votes were actually bogus and from what constituencies and how many were included after due verification.
No wonder that two retired officials of ECP are crying foul. One of them was functional during the elections.
To conclude, witnesses before the Judicial Commission can only point towards irregularities. To expect them to provide conclusive evidence is unrealistic. These witnesses, political parties and civil society must demand the formation of Joint Investigation Teams to determine facts through relentless investigations. Only then would the Judicial Commission meet the ends of its purpose.

3 Exercise Tips for Joint Pain by Christopher Wen
If you are suffering from joint pain or arthritis, then you must be eager to seek about joint pain cure. If fact, the best way to overcome joint pain is simply, exercising regularly. However, there are people who still insist on excusing themselves from exercise routines as they claimed that they do not have time for exercises or that they simply have less energy than before to exercise. Well, these are all just lame excuses. If you are having pain in your joint and you are looking for ways to overcome joint pain, then it is time to start getting rid of those pains with regular exercising. Let us look at 3 ways to help you with your condition.
A good way is to walk. Take a good long walk at least three times a week or do a step-aerobics or low-impact exercise routine. All these can provide your exercise with maximum results. There is no proof that running is bad for the joints. But you need to remember that it may aggravate a joint pain injury if you already have one. Always remember to check with your doctor before starting a new exercise program.
One of the most important ways anyone can take to prevent joint pain at the knee is to lose weight if you are overweight. Extra weight puts extra stress on your knees. For example, if you are already 10 pounds overweight, then you are putting 60 pounds per square inch of extra pressure on your knees every time you take one step. Ouch! That extra pressure you put on your joint can slowly but definitely erode the cartilage in your knees, leading to arthritis joint pain.
Another way is to do muscle stretching. However, you should not do bouncing when doing stretching, as this can lead to a muscle pull. So what kinds of muscle stretching can you do? You can try this. Try to hold a slow, steady stretch exercise for 15 to 20 seconds, then relax and repeat this. It is best to flex up by stretching before any exercise, especially running and walking. It is also a good idea on another hand to stretch each day. Ask your doctor to teach you the correct way of stretches that focus on potential arthritis trouble spots, such as the knees or the lower back.
Just keep in mind that exercise is not only good for your joint pain, it is good for your health too. Hence, start exercising now!

Speed likely a factor in crash that killed two young men in Corowa
The barrier made of boulders at the end of Cadell Street, which the BMW crashed into before becoming airborne.Police have praised the actions of residents who responded to a fiery crash on Sunday evening that claimed the lives of two young men.
Bradley Potts, of Corowa and Brent Coutts, of Ascot Vale, died after the BMW they were travelling in collided with an earthen road barrier at the dead end of Cadell Street, became airborne and crashed into a garden shed on a River Street property.
Two men living within a couple hundred metres of the crash site in Corowa, on the NSW-Victoria border, were there within seconds of the crash.
One of the neighbours, who did not wish to be named, said the man who assisted with him did not hesitate and "deserved a medal".
"Without him I couldn't have done it –he jumped straight in, even though the car was on fire, and we were able to get him (Mr Potts) out," he said.
"Minutes later the car caught on fire."
Bradley Potts and Brent Coutts were killed in a crash at Corowa on Sunday.
Mr Potts was taken to Corowa Hospital where he died a short time later.
Emergency services that were responding, includingFire and Rescue NSW and Corowa VRA, did not knowthere was a second occupant in the vehicle until after the fire was extinguished about 15 minutes later.
Tributes flowed for the two young men, both aged 24, on Monday.
The Moyhu Football Netball Club wrote: "Rip Bradley Potts …to think that we won't see you again with that cheeky grin on his face, having a joke and a beer doesn't seem real.
"Unfortunately it is, and the Corowa boys have not lost one mate, but two."
Speed likely a factor in crash that killed two young men The barrier made of boulders at the end of Cadell Street, which the BMW crashed into before becoming airborne.
The dead end of Cadell Street
TweetFacebook The scene of the crash on River StreetPictures: Mark JesserThe River Street resident who helped has known Mr Potts since he was a young boy and was devastated when he recognised the young man.
"He was a very nice kid, the family are well-loved, it shouldn't have happened," he said.
"I was out feeding my dogs and I heard the car, I thought 'It's not going to stop'.
"Just by knowing the speeds they were doing, it was going to be a bad outcome."
Another man who was at the scene, who also wished to stay anonymous, had called triple-0 minutes before the crash.
"The car was doing more than that (150km/h) around South Corowa," he said.
"I was still on the phone to police when the accident occurred."
There is a'road closed sign' with the earthen barrier at the end of Cadell Street, and beyond that River Street, which also comes to a dead end at that section of road.
Detective Inspector Winston Woodward said the BMW was estimated to be travelling at speeds in excess of 150 kilometres per hour, three times the speed limit of Cadell Street, when it crashed into the barrier.
"The impact has been hard enough to dislodge a couple hundred kilogram boulder or rock which was in the retaining wall, and project that some hundred metres," he said.
"The exact speed may be known, there are ways to examine the vehicle and components of the vehicle to find out – a brief of evidence will be prepared for the coroner.
"(With) how far the car has projected, we could have been looking at more fatalities had that vehicle gone through a house.
"The loss of life of two 24-year-old men is a tragic incident at any time and I can only call for people to obey the road rules."
Police were not able to comment on who was driving the BMW.
Detective Inspector Woodward saidhe "took his hat off" to everyone who was at the scene on Sunday.
"It was a heroic act for a group of people to go into an incident which is dangerous and attempt to save a life," he said.
"All that could be done to save the lifeof anybody inside the vehicle was being done.
"It's a sad event all around for both people, the families of the deceased and not forgetting the emergency services personnel."

11th International Conference on Micro Manufacturing (ICOMM 2016), March 28th-31st 2016, Orange County, California (Paper No. 17)
Two dimensional position sensors based on speckle correlation have shown promising results for applications in which traditional sensors are unsuitable. They have an unlimited measurement range without the need of a physical scale and can be adjusted to achieve resolutions in the sub-micrometer range. The main drawback of this measuring principle is a cumulating error in the position shift calculation which leads to a drift in the results. In previous works, this drift was significantly reduced by improvements in the correlation algorithm. However, until now this method was only analyzed in simulations and immobile laboratory setups. In this work, a compact versatile experimental setup is presented. This experimental setup includes a high-speed 2D camera as well as a refined optical setup for the recording of speckle patterns.

Increasing the value of $1 to increase impact
Making a dollar go as far as possible is the driving force behind our solution to help the world reach a critical goal – safe water and sanitation for all.
Increasing the value of $1 to increase impact
When it comes to money, making it go further is a goal most share. Making a dollar go as far as possible is the driving force behind our solution to help the world reach a critical goal – safe water and sanitation for all. We knew there had to be another way to empower everyone everywhere with access to safe water and sanitation because charity alone will not meet the financing need to get there. So we created WaterCredit to increase the value of the dollars we are given, increasing the number of lives we can change. We do this in partnership with financial institutions that make small, affordable loans available to people living in the water crisis.
To date we've dispersed $36 million to our partners to help them develop, pilot and roll out their water and sanitation portfolios. This includes things like loan product marketing and education and program monitoring and evaluation activities. Equipped with the resources and knowledge needed to make loans for water and sanitation, our partners successfully lent $2.4 billion of their capital to empower more than 30 million people with the funds needed to access safe water and sanitation solutions. The math proves that through WaterCredit, we made $36 million go further, increasing the value of every $1 to equal $67 worth of impact.
With each repaid loan, our partners meet the needs of more families and strengthen their water and sanitation lending programs. As finance continues to prove itself a solution to empowering households with access to safe water and toilets, we will increase the value of each dollar we put into WaterCredit – helping the world achieve safe water and sanitation for all, faster.
"Over the past few years, WaterCredit has grown by leaps and bounds, cultivating new partnerships, expanding into new geographies and graduating partners who continue to lend on their own. We sit on the cusp of scaling like never before." Gary White, Water.org Co-founder & CEO
Read about how when we make a dollar go further, we empower women like Leneriza with the ability to make their money go further too.

Is PUBG Mobile Banned in your Country?
PUBG Mobile has been a terrific success for Tencent, the developers of the most popular Battle Royale game ever. No one ever thought that the game would be so addictive that government officials will have to impose a ban on it. As many as more than 500 Million people from around the world play PUBG Mobile as stated by Polygon. Not only that, each day an estimated number of 87 Million people play PUBG Mobile. There are countless cases across the globe related to the game that we have discussed below.
Why are Countries Banning PUBG Mobile
PUBG Mobile is just a game like any other online Battle Royale, so why only PUBG is being targeted and no other game is getting banned? The truth is that there are many reasons the countries are imposing a ban on this game. Let us dig deeper, recently there have been many cases against people becoming violent after the PUBG Mobile addiction. Also many parents complaining about their child's academic performance getting poor and poor after being addicted to the game. Apart from that every country that has banned PUBG Mobile either temporarily or permanently has their own reasons. Let us see which countries have banned PUBG Mobile and what is the reason behind the same.
Which Countries have Banned PUBG Mobile?
1. India
The number one country on our list to ban PUBG Mobile is India. It all started after the Chief Warden of VIT, Vellore, Tamil Nadu had warned the students and asked them not to play late night online games and also mentioned PUBG Mobile. According to him it disturbs other students from sleeping at night and also makes the atmosphere of the hostel detrimental. In a little while after the warning PUBG Mobile was banned in several Indian cities including Surat, Rajkot and Varodara. After the ban in these three cities other three districts namely Bhavnagar, Gir Somnath and Aravalli had also banned PUBG Mobile for a complete one month.
2. China
Last year China's Online Gaming Ethics Review Committee had surveyed around 20 popular online games and banned 9 of them. PUBG Mobile and Fortnite were among those 9 games that were banned. The reason for the ban of PUBG Mobile was uncontrolled exposure of "Blood and Gore", and for Fortnite it was "Blood, Gore and the ostentation of vulgar content. Other titles such as Blizzards Overwatch was temporally banned and asked for a "corrective action" and stop displaying the "incorrect values and inharmonious chatroom".
3. Nepal
It is quite a coincidence that another neighbor of India and China has banned PUBG Mobile. Unlike India, Nepal had imposed a nationwide ban on the game last month this year. According to the Federal Investigation Agency of Nepal (FIA), PUBG Mobile has been the prime reason for student escaping from their studies and other important activities just for playing PUBG Mobile. The Nepal Telecommunications Authority (NTA) had ordered al the Internet Service Providers in Nepal to block all the data transfer between users and PUBG servers, making the game unplayable. After 2 weeks the ban was lifted as Supreme Court observed and concluded that PUBG Mobile is just a game for public entertainment and is not harmful in any way. Also quoted, every citizen has the right to use the internet as per their desire, and the ban was lifted off.
4. Iraq
Same time last month when PUBG was banned in Nepal, Iraq also imposed a nationwide ban on PUBG Mobile. According to the National Government of Iraq, games such as Player Unknown Battle Ground and Fortnite cause negative impact on the society, culture, ethics and the security of the nation.
As the above four countries banned PUBG Mobile, there are speculations that other countries might as well ban the popular battle royale game in the coming time. Gaming is not a crime, but people must also, should not escape from daily activities which are substantial for their future and others related to them. What do you think is banning PUBG Mobile the best solution or not.

The most immediate challenge has been to meet the all inclusive, restrictive budget while providing an architecture that will bolster the reputation of Myrtle Beach as a nexus of entertainment and tourism. Two other teams were also invited to submit, with formal presentation and interviews scheduled to be conducted in December..

Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps stepped out in NYC with his wife Nicole at the Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year gala, where he was presented a special award naming him the Greatest Olympian of All Time.
"Extra" caught up with the newlyweds before the event, where they gushed over their baby son, Boomer, and revealed why they kept their marriage secret at first.
Nicole said they chose to keep the nuptials private "so I could travel overseas without worrying. You have to do so much as a parent to make sure that you are legally traveling with your child, so we thought it was one more step to be cautious when I was traveling with Boomer and he was competing."
The couple revealed married life isn't that much different than their lives before, since they have known each other for so long. Michael told "Extra," "We've been through everything and you can say we're now legally married… Sometimes I keep catching myself saying fiancée. When we were trying to hide that we had already gotten married, I was saying fiancée. Now we're married, I keep catching myself saying fianceé. I got to get back into saying wife."
When talking about his 7-month-old son, Michael said, "He's so happy every day, he literally smiles all the time — he's incredible. We're seeing more and more of his personality every day." Nicole added, "He's trying to speak, so every day we're trying to sound out what he says. We're both like, 'Say Mama, say Dada.'"
The Phelps family is getting ready to celebrate the holidays together. The swimmer shared, "The coolest thing is watching every day there's something different. We're enjoying parenthood and getting ready for his first Christmas… We just got our first tree, his first tree." Nicole added, "He loves grabbing the pine needles — it's so cute!"

Sputnik: What should be expected from the meetings between the leaders of North and South Korea?
John Dunn: I think there will be a lot of statements about how good it will be for relations; there will be a few practical proposals about how to make them a bit closer in different ways. It's possible that there will be some subsequent relations between the North Korean leader and the United States. I don't see much chance of that shifting the basic shape of the problem, but it's really important for the South Korean leader and, actually, it's very important for the North Korean leader for relations between the South and the North to improve and for there to be less of a sense of immediate prices.
Unfortunately that doesn't actually deal with the major issue, which is North Korean nuclear weapons. I don't really see there's much the South Korean leader can do to shift that; that depends entirely on the approach of the North Korean leader. I don't think he will be persuaded to alter his approach by either the South Korean leader or President Trump.
Sputnik: What're your thoughts on the significance of this particular trip? We had a very significant meeting between President Trump and the North Korean leader back in April or May in Singapore and now the communication and diplomacy has become a little bit indifferent over the last couple of months. We've now got this significant meeting; what is actually going to come out of this particular meeting in terms of strategy moving forward for the two Koreas?
John Dunn: I don't think that this actually can be shifted much from South Korea, that's the main point I wanted to make. I think it's entirely a game between North Korea and the United States. One way of thinking is that it's essentially a game between the North Korean leader and Trump; the timing of this game is very strongly connected to the American domestic political process and the imminence of congressional elections. I don't think it has been possible for North Korea to abandon nuclear weapons; I don't think there's anything that the US could offer North Korea which would make it reasonable for them to abandon nuclear weapons. So, I think that it's a stuck situation, as it's been for a long time.
Sputnik: What do you believe are the main difficulties in the way of the peace process on the peninsula and North Korea's denuclearization now?
John Dunn: I don't think that North Korea means to denuclearize, that's a pretty fundamental sort of difficulty. The reason I don't think it means to do it is because it doesn't have a good reason to. The only good reason it could have would be the fear of an immediate US attack and I think that it's very unlikely that that will occur now. It was a little bit likely that it would occur early around in the Trump administration although we don't, obviously, know how likely it was. I don't think it's likely to occur now because it would make Trump look like a complete imbecile apart from anything else and I don't think he wishes to look a complete imbecile at the moment.
For a bit it looked as though he'd really pulled off a great coup; that was always a mirage, but it looked good and it's very important for him to go on looking good. It's clear by now that it's much more important for him to go on looking good than anything else at all. And I think it would be utterly bizarre for him to order an attack on North Korea. The diplomatic game between Kim and Trump will go on as long as Trump is president and what shape it will take in the second half of Trump's first presidency will depend very much on what happens in congressional elections.

The nuclear enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) plays a critical role in several different DNA repair pathways.
Previous work from other laboratories showed that PARP inhibitors are particularly toxic to cells with defects in the homologous recombination (HR) repair pathway, including breast and ovarian cancer cells with deleterious BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations.
Building on these observations, Dr. Kaufmann's Anticancer Drug Action Lab has been trying to understand the unique susceptibility of HR-deficient cancer cells to PARP inhibitors and to identify and test combinations with other agents that might extend the benefit of PARP inhibitors to additional types of cancer.

The Atlanta Falcons have reopened their facility, the team announced Friday, a day after a member of their organization tested positive for COVID-19, which led to a shutdown.
The reopening indicates that the Falcons' upcoming game Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings in Minneapolis is set to be played as scheduled.
The Falcons had closed their facility Thursday after the positive test out of "an abundance of caution," with a league official telling ESPN's Adam Schefter that the positive coronavirus test was for a Falcons personnel official, not a player.
The team said it is under the NFL's intensive protocols, which include all meetings being conducted virtually, personal protective equipment such as face masks or shields being worn on the practice field by players and staff at all times, and a daily deep-cleaning of the facility.

My preference is to start landscaping as soon as all of the external work is completed to give the plants, or grass time to establish themselves, and thus to make the property marketable sooner.
– The exception to this is during periods of extreme drought, or in the middle of winter when plants are less likely to survive.
– Hard Knocks Tip: Make sure that you won't need to upgrade your water service, or sewer lateral before installing the landscaping, or you might have to dig it up and start over.
Proper planning
Doing as much prework as possible before you even close on the house, getting your materials and suppliers lined up, and ordering your tasks so as to minimize delays and re-work.

– drywall patching

Court injunction endangers Adamawa supplementary gov'ship election
In Adamawa State, preparation for the March 23 supplementary governorship election is beclouded by a court injunction restraining INEC from conducting it.
To start with, both the APC and PDP had issues with either the conduct of the main election or the status of its outcome.
The PDP was faulting INEC for asserting that the margin of lead by its candidate, Umaru Fintiri, was less than number of registered voters where voting was cancelled. It was asking INEC to instead declare its candidate winner of that election because his margin of lead was higher than number of voters with PVCs in the polling units where voting was cancelled.
The party was nonetheless willing to participate in the supplementary election on INECs insistence in conducting it, moreso as it felt sure it would win the rerun to consolidate its lead in the main election.
The APC was on the other hand reluctant, complaining of irregularities in the conduct of the main election and asking that voting in more units during the main election be cancelled because of such irregularities.
While the parties were at such varying levels of acceptance of the main election and the proposed rerun, a court verdict came to light Thursday morning, asking INEC to pause activities leading to its conduct of the rerun.
A Yola high Court judge, Justice Abdul-Aziz Waziri, had given the ruling in a suit filed by the governorship candidate of the Movement for Restoration and Defence of Democracy (MRDD), Rev Eric Theman. The judge said, "The defendant herein, INEC, is restrained … from proceeding with the supplementary election in respect of Adamawa State governorship pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice."
The judge then adjourned the case to March 21, two days to the scheduled rerun, for hearing of motion for the interlocutory injunction.
Read Also: Adamawa Assembly results: APC, PDP get 11 seats each
So, as the other states where supplementary governorship election has been scheduled are preparing for it, in Adamawa the focus right now is the court injunction.
The APC welcomes the injunction. The secretary of the party, Hon Wafarninyi Theman, told The Nation in an interview: "From what I have seen, the complainant has a genuine case, except INEC comes out to tell us that this party was not cleared for the election. But it's a legitimate party and it had a legitimate candidate to contest in the election. And if they didn't find the logo of their party on the ballot paper, it means they were deprived of the chance to be be voted for. So, I think INEC should have admitted in the first place that they made a mistake. However, we are waiting for the response of INEC."
The PDP thinks very differently. The state chairman of the PDP, Bar Tahir Shehu who spoke on the matter, said the injunction was in the first place a nonstarter and would be overturned.
Shehu said, "We do know that by the provisions of the Electoral Act, no court of law can stop the process of election. So the purported order is invalid. INEC is not bound to comply with it… The law says no court can stop either primary, general or supplementary election. Notwithstanding, we are taking steps to get that order set aside."
So, the engagement by both the APC and PDP in Adamawa State now is not how to win maximum votes in the supplementary election but how it might be scuttled or allowed to hold.

Pond's Luminous Finish BB Cream Review & Swatches
Yes, I love it…! Pond's Luminous Finish BB Cream is a winner however, not in the sense that it has a ton of coverage. Sorry kids, this is a sheer BB Cream….! But I love it because it does exactly what it promises! Provides luminous coverage that basically perfects your face and makes for a flawless experience.
Pond's Luminous Finish BB Cream ($8.99-$9.99 depending where you purchase) that was created with a Tone Perfect Complex that works on dark spots and visible fades them. No I can't say if this is working but I generally like the idea that it might just be treating my dark spots during application.
Let's take a look!
In all honesty if you're a chronic user of BB Creams and have experience Korean BB Cream formulas you are in for a little disappointment with Pond's Luminous Finish BB Cream because it does run sheerer. When you're used to the coverage of a Korea BB Cream it is backpedaling slightly when you're using something this sheer as it feels more like a tinted moisturizer. Another disappointing aspect is the lower SPF 15. However, if you can get past both these issues I think you'll love this formula as much as I do.
Honestly, it's like a high quality tinted moisturizer for ten fracking bucks. SCORE! It comes in a Light and Medium shade selection so it does limit options to who can use it but since it is so sheer it'll likely universally fit a broad range of shades without look too pasty or unnatural.
This comes in a squeeze tube that's a generous 1.5 oz size. It has a soft delicate rose scent which is very subtle. The formula is rich, very creamy, and applies easily onto skin. It has a very hydrating finish at first application and really provides some nice moisture during that time. But no worries it sets to a soft, satiny finish that doesn't cling to drier areas or accentuate pores. I don't need a lot of coverage and this works more as a CC Cream would as it corrects your skin tone, evens it out, brightens, and creates a more uniformed, flawless finish. There are SO many BB Creams on the market at the moment that promises to brighten but the shades are such duller beige shades that they end up making my complexion look lackluster and they cover up any natural glow my skin already has. Pond's Luminous Finish BB Cream provides the luminosity and brightening that my duller skin needs.
Light and Medium
The formula supposedly targets dark spots as well to reduce their appearance over time but I've been using it for about three weeks now and can't say if that is working or not as of yet as fading dark spots is sometimes a full time job and requires constant use to see any real difference.
Overall, Pond's Luminous Finish BB Cream is probably one of the nicest BB Creams I've run across in drugstores and it does in fact gain a Muse Approval. I think that the sheerness of the product will prove a little disappointing but overall, this is a winner for those who desire a more weightless lighter coverage that perfects but doesn't necessarily conceal!
It's available now at drugstores.
Muse Approved for this one.
Tried it?
Do share!
