Sephora Professionnel Platinum Concealer Airbrush #57 Review
I'm a finger girl. I apply my foundation with my fingers, occasionally I apply eyeshadow with fingers, and of course, I apply concealer with my fingers. Dab it on, smooth it out, and done. I really like the E.L.F. Studio Concealer Brush, actually I swear by it, but prior to discovering it I used alot of various concealer brushes from many high end brands but never really got the results I get when I simply use my fingers (my free fingers mind you, not my over $30 beauty tool ha).
Recently, I saw the Sephora Professionnel Platinum Concealer Airbrush #57 for $24 and thought to myself how I seriously didn't need it. What was the point when I was so very happy with my three buck E.L.F. brush and my trusty dab and pat motion with my free fingertips?
But I decided to try it anyway and I'm here to say you NEED it.
Sephora dubs it the brush that was designed to achieve a flawless, airbrushed finish. It promises a flawless, smooth finish under my eyes, on my face, and over blemishes using the rounded shape that would sweep concealer on lightly or heavier depending on what sort of coverage I needed.
Now I don't use concealer on my face so I was a bit skeptical as I truly believed the brush would indeed give a flawless finish on my face however under my eyes was another matter.
After purchasing it I felt like perhaps the bristles would be a bit too big to really fit the contour of my eye well. Granted, the brush head isn't big by any means but it seemed alot of brush at the time for the smaller area under my eyes.
Turns out I was VERY wrong.
The results I achieved truly were flawless and airbrushed in appearance plus the brush fit snugly and beautifully well under my eyes. To use it I dabbed the brush in my concealer of choice, I proceeded to dab the brush under my eyes gently, and followed up by sweeping the brush under my eyes with firm strokes. Presto! Done! Flawless!
I tried it with liquids, mousse, and cream concealers and it worked brilliantly with each and everyone but I would like to say that it worked best with my HG concealer of the moment, Maybelline Dream Mousse Concealer. Heck, it even did something wonderful with firmer, dryer concealers like the Balm Time Balm Concealer. Suddenly concealers tossed in my makeup graveyard had a new lean on life thanks to this brush!
I noticed my concealer applied lighter using this brush and I used considerably less product but still managed to achieve good coverage even with less product.
Moral of this story?
This little brush is a Makeup Gods sent and deserves a space in your daily beauty arsenal.
An absolute must have product with a big old Muse Approval for purchase.
Get it, now, you NEED it.
Available from www.sephora.com
This product was purchased by the Muse for review purposes.

Great, yet another product on my never ending list of "must buy!"
2/15/11 20:09 Krystin:
wow i need this ASAP!! i bought the new foundation one and it is OMG amazing!!! i cant even explain how good it applied, blended, everything!!!! i almost got the concealer one too, i walked around with it clenched in my hand, finally pryed it out convinving myself i already had 1,000 concealer brushes!! guess i need this one too!! thank you for letting me know it is worth it!
2/15/11 20:35 annie:
muse thats just like me!! i usually apply foundation and concealer with my fingers but i went to sephora one day and bought that and LOVE it! i don't use it all the time but its fantastic with mousse foundations.
i love how its not too much and so affordable!
2/15/11 21:28 Chasity:
OH MUSE!! I looked at this today and convinced myself that I don't need it; now I'm having second thoughts. I have NEVER liked foundation/concealer brushes until I recently purchased the Stila one-step complexion brush which I totally love! I bought it because I saw youtube vids of Sarah Lucero using it with convertible colors and it really does work wonderfully with both the convertible colors and foundation. I resisted the Sephora brushes because I thought they seemed very similar to the Stila brush…have you tried it? I'm wondering about a comparison now…
2/15/11 21:49 Lulee:
muse, i gotta question… when i use a fluffy blendy brush (like mac 224) to apply concealer it would make my undereyes appear so dry! the buffing motion would lift all the dead skin and cling to it and just make it a terrible mess. anyway i know you say you have dry undereyes, so this brush didn't cause this same problem for you?
2/16/11 15:53 LorraineER:
I hope you don't mind me jumping in, but are you exfoliating and using a good moisturizer? I used to not be able to use any brushes on my skin to apply foundation because I had that happen but now that I exfoliate really good in the mornings and use heavy moisture and eye cream at night with something light during the day…I don't have that problem. Also remember to be gentle when you buff-that seems like common sense but it really doesn't take much pressure to blend makeup…otherwise you are basically exfoliating using a brush rather then blending.
2/15/11 21:56 LisaL:
Muse, I've been looking at brushes and while I haven't exactly been looking for a good concealer brush, I am sorely tempted by this one!
Btw and if you don't mind me asking, do you have any recommendations for a good contouring brush (for bronzer, highlighting, etc)?
I would heartily appreciate any and all help!
2/15/11 22:34 Christy:
Hi muse! are you planning to check out the foundation brush as well? im a concealer junkie too, have you tried Sonia Kashuck's hidden agenda concealer palette, i think that one is pretty good, just to let you know. thanks for the great review!
2/15/11 23:08 Tiffany:
Yay! I'm super excited now, I've got one coming in the mail :).
2/15/11 23:48 elizabeth:
Ok, that just went right on my shopping list at sephora! I've been using the elf studio concealer brush, and I like it, but the top fell off the first time I washed it. Oops. Anyway, this brush sounds amazing, and I'm planning a birthday haul anyway, so yay!
2/15/11 23:56 LorraineER:
Damnit I was hoping I didn't need this Muse!! lol! I put #56 in my Sephora online cart and I was telling myself that i didn't need a separate one for concealer but I'm lacking a decent method for concealer. I don't like using my fingers and I don't like typical concealer brushes to blend either so something like this makes sense to me. Both the foundation brush and this one will be costly though :/
2/16/11 11:54 Cj:
Oh Muse, Your really making me want to cheat on my beloved Sigma and pick up this brush lol 😛 Have you tried the #56 foundation brush?
2/16/11 12:27 Terri:
Too funny – I just bought the new airbrush set they offer at Sephora that has this one, the foundation brush, 2 eyeshadow brushes, and the powder brush. Amazing, all of it! I highly recommend getting the set – wicked deal too!
2/16/11 14:46 Melissa:
Considering my concealer of choice is now discontinued, i.e. Maybelline Dream Mousse Concealer (GRRRRR!!!), I think I have to get this brush. Muse, I'm still horribly depressed about this (as we've both mentioned over on that thread) and am now on the ultimate concealer mission to find its replacement. Any suggestions on where to start? Haha
2/16/11 15:48 jenniet2002:
nooooooooo! another item I must own. =) haha.
2/17/11 1:19 Gloria:
I'm getting this with my next paycheck. I think it'll also help with the settling into fine lines problem since you end up using less products for better coverage. Hmmm must get to try that out. Thanks for reviewing it Muse!
2/17/11 4:31 Dollymix8:
Wow sounds good! Any idea when this will be avaiable in Europe?
2/19/11 9:51 Emily F:
I had to get this brush after reading this post. And you are so right! I could not believe what a difference this brush makes. I used it with my Laura Mercier secret concealor and it made it smooth as fine wine and that is saying a lot! Now I am wondering what other brushes I need to switch over to. Thanks
2/20/11 18:12 annie:
MUSE I just switched concealers and think I found a new HG!! You may like it too! I usually hate MAC concealers but this one is soo good!! Try the MAC Pro Longwear concealer!
2/26/11 1:53 Rachel:
Hi Muse! After I read this post, I decided that I had to check out your HG Maybelline Dream Mousse Concealer AND the concealer brush! I just wanted to give you a heads up that it looks like they are discontinuing the Maybelline Dream Mousse Concealer, my local Walgreens,Target and Wal-Mart don't carry it anymore, but I was able to find a few on clearance at a local grocery store (but not in my shade!). I am on a hunt to find one since you recommend it so highly. Just wanted to give you a heads up in case you wanted to stock up. Also, the concealer brush also comes in a 5 piece airbrush set with a nice case for $65. I am really trying to resist buying it but I am not sure how long I will be able to hold out!
4/1/11 12:09 Kahani:
OMG Muse… I came across a link to this post in Not Martha (I must have missed it because I was touring NZ at the time) and I swear the Everyday Minerals Eye Kabuki brush I have just sitting around is a PERFECT DUPE. I just never thought of using it this way! I just used to swipe on my BB concealer, which no matter what I did was always too cakey, and it's MAGIC. Thank youuuu! Will road test it over a few days but I feel a rave review coming up. =D
5/11/11 13:04 Kahani:
Muse honey…thank you, it WORKS!
4/5/11 19:59 Phyrra:
I purchased this brush tonight because of your review!
4/15/11 14:41 yangtanw:
i got this brush yesterday and it's really amazing!!! i used it this morning with time balm on my under eye area and sun spots… it applies and blends out concealers flawlessly!!! love love love! heck! this brush is even more expensive than the concealers I use! LOL
6/12/12 12:48 Califabulous:
Ah this brush sounds amazing! But it also sounds like it's better with liquid formula typ concealers and I use Mac studio finish in he pot. Do you think this will work? Great blog!

Although visits from family and friends aid in the healing of patients, we ask visitors to be respectful of their loved one's need for rest or naps. In addition, his/her roommate will also need quiet healing time, so please whisper or use quiet voices when possible.
When visiting, take all necessary precautions in keeping you and your loved one safe. You may notice a sign on the door of a patient's room with special restrictions or infection prevention guidelines. Please follow these instructions during your visit. If you are unsure about the nature of these precautions, kindly ask a nurse at the front desk.
Visitors are encouraged to take an active role in the care of their loved ones. Ask the nurse or medical provider how well recovery is progressing and you can help during their stay and after discharge.
If you are sick, coughing, or sneezing, consider not visiting until you are well. Most germs spread through vapor or touch; those who are recovering from surgery or an illness may have a weaker immune system and can easily acquire an infection.
When getting ready to visit refrain from wearing strong perfumes. Some patients of our patients have challenged breathing and are very sensitive to strong smells.
There is a quiet meditation room on 2nd floor directly across from the double elevators. This space is reserved for prayer and reflection or a consultation with a medical or spiritual care provider.
There are patient and family lounges available on each of the Hospital's four floors. On first floor there are designated areas for family members to gather near the emergency department and near the imaging department. On the second floor, there is a newly renovated lounge just off the silver elevator. Third floor's lounge area is located just outside the Birthplace.

Apollo Twin
6807 SE 15th Street,
Midwest City,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Showing 4 comments
This theatre is a CINEMA TREASURE,stagehandguy.Mike Local 629.
I don't know if this theater actually is a CINEMA TREASURE… But growing up in Mid-Del area in the 80's-90's I have fond memories of this concrete block box of a theater. I want to say I saw one of the Star Wars movies here. So I guess it is a Treasure to me. I even liked it as a shooting range! New to adding theaters and all but if you know the address of the Mall part of heritage park theater I would add this one too Kevin. Another theater not all that Treasure like but I saw alot of flicks there as well.
Affirmative, Stagehandguy – the two rooms were nearly identical and had around 600 seats each, with very large screens. My memory is faulty here, but I don't believe it was a stereo sound setup; there were curtains (which we never utilized). The auditoriums had separate projection booths – offices were in between.
The Apollo was my first managerial assignment for Commonwealth Theaters in Oklahoma City. The Commonwealth city manager's office was located upstairs along with the projection booths and the manager's office – it was crowded! All the local advertising and marketing materials prep was handled there (loads of old movie pressbooks overflowed from file cabinets – how I wish I grabbed a few of those!). And the local theater managers made a weekly stop-in to deliver paperwork, pick up memos, etc (remember, this is pre-computer days (Commonwealth was cheap) – no internet, no faxes, all accounting at the theater level done with pencil and paper and a checkbook for each location.
I was there when we had really big hits (like Beverly Hills Cop), but mainly we played lots forgotten exploitation titles (like Hollywood Vice Squad, Night Patrol, Chuck Norris films from Cannon Studios, owners of Commonwealth at one point). During my tenure, the original 18x36 poster frames were replaced with snap-lock one-sheet cases. In turn, when those were replaced with lighted one-sheet holders, I managed to acquire the older one sheet frames, which now adorn my office at work. So a little of the Apollo continues with me to this day.
At one point the theater was converted into a shooting range. Looking today on Google Earth, it appears the building is still there and serving some business function – furniture showroom as listed above?
Unfortunately, I never took any photos of the Apollo, or many of the other dead theaters I managed – French Market Twin, Shepherd Twin, Reding 4 while they were in operation. I do have a few pics of the Heritage Plaza 5 and Almonte 6 (two other locations I managed) available through this site.
located 6807 SE 15th St. rough guess 600-700 seats per side.

There are many reasons why Madison College has chosen to move to the Windows 7 operating system. From an educational perspective, we strive to provide our students with the latest technology that they will encounter in the job force. In addition, there is now software that simply will not run on Windows XP and many upgrades for existing software applications will soon require the Windows 7 operating system. New features of the operating system are also compelling including better security, higher reliability, and faster performance. Last but not least, new features of Windows 7 allow Technical Services to do our jobs more efficiently. For instance, we will be able to load new applications on computers without physically visiting the computers. For these reasons and many more, we are excited about this project and the benefits it will provide to our college staff and students.
Of course, the base image is now Windows 7 instead of Windows XP but there are other differences. The new image now contains only Windows 7 and Microsoft Office 2010 Suite. All other applications will be loaded with tools that will allow us to deploy new applications and upgrades to a group of computers much faster. All computers in the college system will receive a common group of applications called Enterprise Applications.
Windows 7 has many new features for the end-user. Although the list is long, Windows XP users will have few problems finding their way around the operating system after a little practice. If you want to learn more about the advanced features of Windows 7, CETL will present a one hour tips and tricks in Windows 7/Office 2010 for groups of 5 or more. Training will be scheduled when your group is upgraded.
When we deploy the Windows7 image, all files and applications on your PC or laptop hard drive will be deleted. It is very important to back up any files needed. This is a perfect opportunity to delete old files and organize your file folders. We recommend that all work related files be stored on your H drive or shared drive so they are backed up nightly to prevent loss.
There are a few things about Windows 7 that you do need to know in preparation for our upgrade. The new operating system is based on something called 64-bit technology. You do not need to know exactly what that term means but it may cause some of your existing software versions not to work on Windows 7! One of the tasks we perform during our planning with you is to make sure your applications are compatible with Windows 7 64-bit technology. That may mean an upgrade is required for some of your software. In rare circumstances, there may not be an upgrade path available. In addition, some of your hardware devices that work with Windows XP may not work with Windows 7. Commonly these are older hardware devices like some old printers and plotters. In order to work with Windows 7, the hardware Driver needs to be compatible with Windows 7. If the manufacturer of the hardware does not have a windows 7 driver, it may not work at all. Technical services will be working with you to check the compatibility of all your software and hardware before we perform the upgrade to Windows 7.
In short, the answer is Yes! The process is the same as before. You are responsible for obtaining the software licenses and installation media. Of course, you need to purchase a version of the software compatible with Windows 7. Finally, as before, you need to submit a new Hardware/Software request form. If all this is complete, we can load the new software when we do your upgrade to Windows 7.
Yes! On Windows XP in classrooms and labs, we used a software program called Drive Shield to help protect the computers from undesired changes. If a person made a change that was not authorized, Drive Shield would set the PC back to its previous configuration at the time of the next reboot. With Windows 7, Drive shield goes away and protection is handled by new features in the operating system. We will be restricting something calledLocal Administrator Rights to protect the computers from undesired changes. This strategy provides not only protection from unauthorized system changes but it also addresses other security concerns such as Malware protection to help reduce downtime to systems.
Staff and faculty will be granted Local Administrator Rights to their own PC or laptop if required for installation of additional software.
No. Outlook will be loaded on the images but in the classroom and labs but it is blocked on the student workstations. Students must use Outlook Web Access to access their student email. Outlook is not blocked on the instructor workstation. Classes that teach Outlook will continue to utilize the Virtual Machines as they have in the past.
Thank you for reviewing the FAQs and for helping us to make your Windows 7 Upgrade as pleasant as possible.

With a bit of support, lives really can be turned around. This is our belief and it's what keeps me and my team going at the end of the day! Each step that we take aims to provide a more appropriate, more accountable, more consistent and better quality disaster response.
We don't just provide services in the immediate aftermath of an emergency - rather it is a long term effort working with people to help rebuild their communities better.
We know we are doing our work right when in the wake of a disaster, communities understand the advantages of building disaster-resilient homes, women are empowered to set up small businesses and provide for their families, girls start going back to school, farmers are able to sow their fields again and everyone affected is part of rebuilding a stronger community for the future.

Hazards of the occupation, I guess
Here's a nice one. This is me, a week or two back, after I got scratched on the cheek by a rabbit.
I was trying to move Dr. Pepper-- that's our chocolate-colored Rex rabbit -- to a boy's cage because I'm trying to breed rabbits to sell as Easter Bunnies (I have an agreement with 2 feed stores to sell them some baby bunnies before Easter). Well, Dr. Pepper was already pregnant and didn't want to go. She struggled, and my grip slipped, and next thing I knew, there was blood dripping off my cheek. As luck would have it, I had a wedding to attend the next day. I looked like a cat with a set of whiskers missing.
She had her babies last night, though, so that means she was already pregnant. She had six of them, Velvet rabbits, and they survived their first night in the nest despite a low temperature of just above zero. Ella was mad as heck that I didn't let her go mandhandle them ...

Beard, then a junior, and Rao, then a senior, were found in May by Assistant
Dean for Student Judicial Affairs Patricia Bass to have violated Rice's sexual
harassment policy by publishing an "article" titled "Alice N. Whine makes
`Hustler'" which mocked the September 27, 1996
article "Fine
honored as one of top 10 `Glamour' '96 College Women."
Beard and Rao claimed that the "Trasher" article was a parody of the previous
article and not intended to harm Fine, who argued it was meant to retaliate for
her involvement in organizing an open forum to discuss the November 8, 1996
backpage titled "Rice Women are Like ..." and the campus
climate for women.
Fine stated in her final statement to the Judical Affairs subcommittee which
heard the case that the "Trasher" article "substantially interfered with my
welfare and academic performance and created an intimidating, hostile,
offensive and demeaning educational environment." The article, she held,
included graphic sexual commentaries about her, such as describing the criteria
for a "
Top Tit list" as "willingness to hook up," "blow job
proficiency, followership, mindless giggling [and] breast size."
Beard said that the sexual nature of the piece was not meant to single out
Fine, because the entire 1997 "Trasher" had a sexual theme. She also confirmed
that the "Trasher" staff felt that substituting
was an appropriate way to spoof the original article, because
both magazines focus on images of the female body. Beard and Rao argued that
the article's fake names and outrageousness made it obviously untrue and
satirical, and that parodying a public figure is protected under the First
Rao, a graduating senior, was ordered to perform 100 hours of community service
before he could receive a final transcript while Beard was initially suspended
for a semester, put under disciplinary probation for the remainder of her time
at Rice and ordered to perform community service as well. Both students
maintained their innocence and appealed to Vice President for Student Affairs
Zenaido Camacho, but he allowed the decision to stand.
Beard's suspension was deferred, however, by Camacho, on the condition that she
distribute an approved apology letter, and that she serve on an
ad hoc
committee charged with examining the
's relationship to the
Beard's letter broke the rule of confidentiality that governs all student
disciplinary matters in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act of 1974. Rao said he is outraged that his rights were violated.
"Now that it's gone public like this, people are going to get the wrong
impression of my character," Rao said. "This could interfere ... with my
ability to pursue a career in medicine. Sexual harassment is a very serious
concern." Rao feels that, because Beard's letter was part of her punishment and
Camacho approved its wording, the university is at fault. "It's one thing for
the participants -- the students -- to make this info public, but it's another
thing entirely for the university to do so."

How to Add Vinegar to Laundry
Five Methods:Washing with vinegarBleachingStain removalDeodorizingCleaning
Adding white, distilled vinegar to laundry is a great way to keep your laundry clean and preserve its colors. White, distilled vinegar can even act as a fabric softener, lint deterrent, and allergy reducer if added to a washing machine during a specific cycle. Read the following tips to learn the most common ways to use white, distilled vinegar in laundry.
Method 1 of 5: Washing with vinegar
1Pour a 1/2 cup of white, distilled vinegar into a load of laundry to protect colors from fading. Using white, distilled vinegar with dark fabrics in this way can also protect them from becoming dull.Ad
2Use 1/2 cup of white, distilled vinegar to wash new clothes to remove the stiffness and manufacturing chemicals associated with them.
3Add 1/2 cup of white, distilled vinegar to the last rinse cycle of a load to act as a natural fabric softener.
4Add 1/4 cup of white, distilled vinegar to the last rinse cycle of load of laundry to combat lint and static cling.
5Use 1 cup of white, distilled vinegar for every gallon of water in the washing machine to remove traces of detergent.
- Individuals who have allergy sensitivities to detergent can benefit from using white, distilled vinegar in laundry since it can wash the irritants in detergent away.
6Use with baking soda. The baking soda lubes up your clothes, sliding off the grime. It also changes your acidic body oils to more basic oils. The vinegar, being an acid, further neutralizes body oils and grime and rinses it away. Ive been doing this for months now with no lingering body odors or stains and I am an active, sweaty individual living in the south.
- Pour 2 cups of baking soda in machine for a large load.
- Pour 2 cups (slowly) of white vinegar where you would normally pour bleach. It'll release before the last rinse cycle.
Method 2 of 5: Bleaching
1Use white, distilled vinegar as a natural bleaching agent.
- Add 1 1/2 cups to a rinse cycle to keep an entire load of whites white.
- To restore whiteness to specific articles of clothing, soak individual items overnight in hot water that has had white, distilled vinegar poured into it. The process can be repeated for especially stubborn stains.
Method 3 of 5: Stain removal
Method 4 of 5: Deodorizing
Method 5 of 5: Cleaning
1Clean your washing machine and pipes using white, distilled vinegar.
- Run an empty laundry cycle by allowing your washing machine to fill with water and agitate without the presence of clothes and detergent in it. Add 1 cup of white, distilled vinegar to the washing machine's water and allow the washing machine to run like normal. The white, distilled vinegar can help clean the washing machine's pipes and hoses of soap scum and dirt accumulations.
- Use white, distilled vinegar like this to clean your machine, reduce hard water deposits, and reduce the incidence of mold.
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- White, distilled vinegar is a natural and eco-friendly way to do laundry. Using white, distilled vinegar to do your laundry can help you save money and preserve the environment. It's also a natural deodorizer.
- Add white, distilled vinegar to the last rinse cycle of your washing machine load to help get rid of a mildew smell or mold on your clothes.
- Do not combine white, distilled vinegar with bleach. The fumes that arise from this mixture can be hazardous to your health.
- The overuse of white, distilled vinegar in laundry can lead to a breakdown of clothes made of natural fibers. Articles made out of silk, rayon, acetate, and triacetate can be especially sensitive to white, distilled vinegar.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - The Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday charged eight mutual fund directors for allegedly failing to properly oversee the value of securities as the housing market was on the brink of a financial crisis. The SEC said that mutual funds involved were the RMK High Income Fund, RMK Multi-Sector High Income Fund, RMK Strategic Income Fund, RMK Advantage Income Fund and Morgan Keegan Select Fund. The SEC and other regulators previously charged the funds' managers with fraud and the firms later agreed to pay $200 million to settle charges.

Olive skin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|It has been suggested that this article be merged with Human skin color. (Discuss) Proposed since January 2014.
Olive skin is a human skin color spectrum. It is often associated with pigmentation in the Type IV to Type V range of the Fitzpatrick scale.[1]
Type IV coloration is frequent among populations from the Mediterranean and parts of Latin America.[2] It corresponds with moderate brown, typical Mediterranean skin tones.[3] This skin tone rarely burns and always tans well.[4]
Type V coloration is frequent among populations from the Middle East,[3] the Mediterranean,[1] parts of Latin America, parts of Africa,[2] and the Indian subcontinent.[5] It corresponds with dark brown, Middle Eastern skin tones.[3] This skin tone is minimally reactive to ultraviolet radiation, rarely or very rarely burns, and tans quite easily.[4]

A stall promoting Chinese culture in New York, Jan. 15. (Photo/CNS)
A new study has highlighted the alarming gap between the number of migrants heading out of China compared to those coming into the country, reports the Beijing-based Global Times, a tabloid under the auspices of Communist Party paper People's Daily.
On Wednesday, independent Beijing-based thinktank the Center for China and Globalization released its Annual Report on Chinese International Migration for 2014. The report found that nearly 10 million Chinese nationals have emigrated to other countries in the past 23 years, taking billions of dollars in assets as well as their technical skills along with them.
In 1990, there were 4.1 million Chinese emigrants living overseas, compared to just 376,000 foreign nationals living in China, resulting in a gap of 3.7 million. The number of Chinese emigrants has risen 128.6% since then to 9.3 million, widening the migration gap to 8.5 million.
The United States was identified as the top destination for Chinese nationals looking to relocate overseas, making China the second-largest source of immigrants to the US, though the number of emigrants to Europe is also on the rise. Many of the immigrants were found to be buying their way into foreign countries on immigrant investor visas. In 2012, 6,124 Chinese nationals moved to the United States as investment immigrants.
In 2012, the total number of Chinese nationals permanently moving to China's four major migration destinations — the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand — reached 148,034. By contrast, the Chinese government only issued 1,202 new permanent residency certificates to foreign nationals, which is already a new record high. In the same year, the number of Chinese exchange students overseas reached 1.1 million, compared to just 326,0000 foreign exchange students in China.
The report found that Chinese emigrants were concentrated in the 35-55 age group of middle-class income earners. The main reasons identified for leaving China included education for their children and health concerns stemming from the country's crippling pollution problems.
China has also become America's second largest property buyer. In the 12 months ending March 2013, Chinese buyers spent US$12.3 billion on properties in the US, representing one-eighth of total domestic property acquisitions. Even more remarkably, 69% of those purchases were made in cash.
In an interview with the Global Times, the center's chief Wang Huiyao said Chinese nationals with around US$1 million in assets or more had transferred US$465 billion overseas in 2011. Chinese people migrating to foreign countries, however, is not necessarily always a bad thing as it can highlight the differences between China and other developed countries, provide space for reflection and introspection, he said.
Emigrants may take their funds and technical abilities with them, but they can also grow into a community of Chinese talents overseas, which could benefit China in the future, Wang said, adding that it is therefore essential for the government to exploit this trend, including by establishing a dedicated immigration department to minimize the impact of the gap between outgoing and incoming migrants.
Zhang Yiwu, an academic with Peking University, told Global Times that China's current migration trends will continue but that it is not the time to panic. In the past, Chinese people were willing to go to another country to wash dishes but they are doing it now because they have money, Zhang said, adding that countries with rapid economic development such as China and South Korea can naturally expect a lot of emigrants. A survey released this month by the Hurun Report, a monthly magazine best known for its China rich lists, found that 64% of surveyed millionaires had either already emigrated or had plans to do so.

It could be that Mark Wahlberg bumped his head on the set of the upcoming "Transformers" installment, "Age of Extinction," because the other night at CinemaCon 2014 in Las Vegas, he said the craziest thing about it.
The actor, who comes to replace Shia LaBeouf as lead in the new Michael Bay film, showed up on the panel to promote it and showed uncharacteristically large amounts of enthusiasm for the "Transformers" franchise.
"This will be the biggest movie of 2014," he "beamed" at the audience, as per Variety. "I feel like it's the most iconic franchise in movie history," Mark added.
I'm sure I speak for many when I say that, as much love as I have for Mark, he's taking this a bit too far. I even understand that he's so eager to do right by Michael Bay that he called his "Transformers" role the most important of his career so far at one point, but this is really taking the cake.
Perhaps Wahlberg has heard of a little project called "Star Wars"? Or "Star Trek"? "James Bond"? "Scarface"? "Indiana Jones"? Speaking strictly in terms of social and cultural impact (not just of popularity), at this point, even "Twilight" is more iconic than "Transformers" and that's no shade for the latter.
Michael Bay delivered solid popcorn entertainment with the first three movies and, yes, they were a big hit with the public, which translated into huge box office success – but that doesn't make them "iconic," it only makes them bankable. For "iconic," Mark should revisit them in 15 years' time and see where they are and how they fare.
"Age of Extinction" will be out this year and will stand apart from the previous 3 films with LaBeouf.

Archive for the 'BMW R90S' tag
From-scratch BMW R90S motorcycle build finished
Photo courtesy Max BMW.
Of the 1,600 separate parts needed to build a 1975 BMW R90S motorcycle, 1,595 are available as factory replacements – or so Max BMW found out when it recently set out to build an entire R90S from scratch.
Max BMW has posted a video on YouTube showing the completed 1975 R90 bike that they assembled almost entirely from OE parts listed in the factory replacement catalog; the five parts not available Max sourced from donor bikes. The final total cost for the parts only was over $46,000. The labor for three technicians working over four days would definitely add to that total, had they not donated their efforts. A far cry from the original MSRP, but Max's crew of parts associates and mechanics were able to prove that it could be done with a little help from a used rear swing arm, rear brake pedal and linkage assembly and a few other small details.
Building a Beemer from the BMW parts catalog

Classic BMW air-head fanatics can appreciate this. Max BMW of New Hampshire is busy at work this week building a 1975 BMW R90S motorcycle from all new parts listed in the BMW replacement parts catalog.
The time spent on researching, ordering, organizing and cataloging each separate part needed to complete the build has taken well over a year. That part of the project was completed recently when every part was spread out on the floor at their classic restoration facility in their North Hampton, New Hampshire, location for the above photo. Now the goal is to assemble the entire bike in four days with three technicians (one from each of their three locations) working together to complete the task.
What the final product should look like.
Updates will be posted to the Max BMW Facebook page, and the build is taking place now over a live video feed; if you want to see the build in person, you can do that too. We're not sure exactly what the final price tag will be once the bike is complete, but you can bet it is north of the original $3,500 MSRP for one of these bikes.
The build makes you wonder just how many other classic cars and bikes have a complete parts back-up still available and how much more expensive it would be to build a classic from scratch. Deuce Coupe, Mustang and Camaro and Harley fans might get close, but we don't think the parts coverage is on a par with what is still available for BMWs.

Students taking Linda Rusch's commercial law courses this fall will find she definitely has a handle on the material: Rusch was closely involved with the revision of the Uniform Commercial Code—the very laws that govern commerce in the United States.
Her notable association with revision of the UCC is just one reason Rusch was selected as the inaugural holder of the Curley Chair for Commercial Law. An endowment from the estate of former Gonzaga faculty member Fred Curley, it is also the School of Law's first endowed chair. Rusch, currently a professor at Hamline University School of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota, will start her new job later this summer.
"If I could pick any commercial law professor in the entire country to come to Gonzaga, it would be Linda," says Gonzaga Law professor Stephen Sepinuck, who has known Rusch professionally for more than a decade and who recruited her for the post. When Sepinuck reels off Rusch's accomplishments, it's easy to see why he's so enthusiastic.
Between 1996 and 1999, Rusch was the associate reporter for the drafting committee that revised Article 2 of the UCC in what was the code's first major overhaul since it was promulgated in the 1950s. From 2000 to 2003, Rusch was a co-reporter and a member of the drafting committee that revised UCC Article 7. From 1999 to 2003, she served as chair of the UCC drafting committee for the American Bar Association's business law section. She remains a member of the Permanent Editorial Board of the UCC.
In addition, she has written, is writing, or plans to write a casebook on virtually every UCC-related subject. "Everybody involved in the UCC revision process knows who [Linda] is and respects her work," says Sepinuck, who is writing a casebook with Rusch.
For her part, Rusch recalls her years spent revising the UCC as life transforming. "It was a chance to see history being made," she says. "A lot of the people involved in the original promulgation of the UCC were still alive, and still involved—people who worked with [original code co-author] Karl Llewellyn, and people who were students of the people whose treatises I read as a student. To be involved, and to learn from the originators as well as practitioners from all over the world, was just a remarkable learning experience." Students who take a course with the affable, quick-witted Rusch can expect a remarkable experience themselves. She says she likes teaching best toward the last third of the semester, when she can get students relaxed enough to actually think. "I don't mean relaxed in a loosey-goosey, anything goes sort of way," she explains.
"But relaxed enough that they can kind of let go and be creative and thoughtful and think about how the law is shaped, how it works, and how it helps a client. When I can get students to the point of being creative and thoughtful as well as analytical and logical, that's when class really cooks. It takes a while to get there. They have to get to know me, and I have to get to know them. At the beginning of a semester, you call on a student and they look like they're going to have some sort of attack."
Rusch, whose undergraduate degree is in social work and criminal justice, says she tries to instill in students the "people side" of being a lawyer—something she thinks law schools could improve on. "Students think there's a master rule book out there—like the Ten Commandments, only bigger—and that the job of law school is to learn the rules," she says. "But law school is really about learning how to help people solve their problems. I don't care if it's GM or Joe Blow down the street. In any situation, a good lawyer is always trying to help people solve their problems in the most efficient way."
Being at the table for the revision of the nation's commercial laws is a fair distance from the Iowa farm where Rusch grew up. But she says she's excited at the opportunity to be "farther west than I am now." She was keen on accepting the Curley Chair for many reasons. "For one," she says, "Gonzaga seems to have a student body that's truly interested in commercial law. I like to have students who are engaged and interested in the subject matter.
Also, Steve Sepinuck and I have known each other a long time, and we work well together. It will be nice to have a commercial law buddy down the hall. Commercial law is one of those areas where you need the cross-fertilization from colleagues to keep you fresh. So between the endowed chair, the student enrollments, and Steve being there, I think we have the possibility for Gonzaga to be a very big commercial law place, and that's attractive."
Rush's two daughters have already come out west: One is already enrolled at the University of Washington, the other starts classes at Willamette University, in Oregon, in the fall. Rusch says that, in addition to getting involved on the GU campus and getting to know the place and its people, she's looking forward to living in a region where the winters are gentler than in Minnesota. "I want to be able to play golf year-round," she quips. "Wearing hand- and toe-warmers kind of takes the fun out of it."

Senator Brown meets Moscow officials
United States Senator Sherrod Brown and Marie Johns, deputy administrator for the Small Business Administration, visited the village of Moscow April 3, a month after it was devastated by a tornado, to outline federal assistance that is still available for residents.
"Our hearts go out to this community," Johns said during a brief press conference in the village. "We have been here and we will be back. There is a continued need in Moscow."
Brown and Johns met in Moscow with village officials including mayor Tim Suter, and administrator Sandra Ashba to discuss loan opportunities for residents and how to better assist residents in the community.
"There are things the government can do better, and we worked on that today," Brown said about providing assistance to residents in Moscow.
Last month, the SBA announced federal disaster loans were available to Brown, Clermont, Clinton, Hamilton and Warren County residents and business owners that were affected by the storms and tornados that ripped through the southern part of the state March 2.
Homeowners can apply for loans up $200,000 to repair or replace damaged real estate, and renters and homeowners can apply for loans up to $40,000 to repair or replace damaged personal property.
In addition, businesses and non-profit organizations can apply for loans up to $2 million to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate, equipment, inventory and other assets.
Brown said roughly half of the residents affected by the tornado in Moscow have applied for assistance, and while SBA officials were available to assist with loan information, he felt residents needed someone from the SBA in the village.
"SBA was originally in Washington Township," Brown said. "Some people just couldn't get there. We will have someone in the community that can help process applications."
Brown said he thinks having someone closer will make a big difference in assisting residents who have not already applied for federal loans.Senator Brown meets Moscow officials »

Please, help me test task reminders
Hello! You scribed me on Google Play, that I should contact you here.
My problem:
Reminders in the android app don't work stable: push-reminders don't appear at time. A reminder for a recurring task don't repeat along with the recurring task (i.e. you need set a reminder each repeating of the task).
I created 2 tasks:
1) "Testing a reminder (13:15)" in the web app,
date: after 1 days 13:15,
push reminder: after 1 days 13:15.
2) "Testing a reminder (20:00)" in the web app,
date: after 1 days 20:00,
push reminder: 0 min before.
Please me test this. I would like these tasks to work every day at time.
Android v.2.3.5
HyperDroid-CM7-magldr-3.0.1-Insightful Impala
All responses
Hello Oleg,
Thank you for contacting us. Please clarify - these are the exact same dates you use with your tasks? If so, they are missing either an @ or an "at" before the time.
The correct formula should be:
- after 1 day at 13:15
- after 1 day @ 13:15
- every day at 13:15
- every day @ 13:15
Please try to set up tasks including @ or "at" and let me know if the issue persists.
You could try to test both relative and absolute reminders by setting up one task due "every day at 13:15" which should generate a reminder 30 minutes before this time and another one without any due date, but with <remind today at 13:15> within its name.
Best regards,
! The reminder of the task "Testing a reminder (13:15)" appeared at ~15:43 (GMT+4).
(10 sept 2013)
Please confirm, you have use the correct date and time including at or @ and the reminder arrived late?
If so, please tell me:
- Do you have the correct time zone set within Todoist as well as on any device/computer you use Todoist on?
- Were you online at the time the reminder was supposed to arrive?
Best regards,
The formula of reminder date is correct.
"Testing a reminder (13:15)"
after 1 days @ 13:15
"Testing a reminder (20:00)"
relative reminder - 0 min before
I think, a problem is in unstable Internet/Online (but I am not sure).
Reminders should be on a device, not only in a cloud... It is not good, if the user's device must be online everytime and everywhere. There may be many good reasons for the lack of connection.
>> - Do you have the correct time zone set within Todoist as well as on any device/computer you use Todoist on?
Yes, time zone is correct, GMT+4 (Moscow), on the phone, the web app, and PC.
- Were you online at the time the reminder was supposed to arrive?
I forgot to check :) I was working.
I will let you know later.
Thank you for the details. Just to be sure that it's not an issue with the "after" date, please also set up one test task with the date "every day at ...". In case of daily task, we recommend to use "every day" because it makes no difference either when the interval is just one day.
In case of multiple days, then the "after" formula will work differently as it will count from the time you check off the task while "every 2 days" will work independently of the check off and always try to be scheduled for every other day.
Regarding reminders requiring being online - this is unfortunately how they work right now as we're using Google's servers (their API) to send push notifications, but we're considering changing this in future updates so that the app itself will generate them.
Best regards,
Task "Testing a reminder (20:00)"
relative reminder - 0 min before
The reminder appeared at 22:19..... Maybe something wrong with Internet connection.
And the reminder setting (0 min before) disappeared from this task. As I understood, relative reminders work one time, without renew. But absolute reminders renew.
>> we're using Google's servers (their API) to send push notifications, but we're considering changing this in future updates so that the app itself will generate them.
It will be cool.
Thank you.
The 0 minutes before reminder does have some issues, but other than that, relative reminders should recur if the task is recurring. In case of absolute reminders - they will only recur if they're recurring too (along with the task).
As we can't reproduce this and haven't received any other report about such issue, there are two possibilities:
- Time zone issue (which we've excluded, unless you were asked by the web-app to adjust your time zone and you've dismissed the message and didn't agree)
- Internet connectivity issue.
If you have an option to test it in an area where you're certain that you have a stable WiFi connection, please do so. You can try it just by setting <remind today at ...> and a time at least one minute into the future and the reminder should arrive a couple seconds after this time.
Best regards,
The problem was caused by application Go Power Master (Go Battery Saver). In the energy saving mode the application stops Internet connection when the display is off, and quickly start the connection when the display is on.
So, if you use Todoist and reminders, you can not save energy on your phone via desabling Internet connection.
And therefore, in particular, reminders should be kept on a device, but not only in a cloud.

Eric turned to face Bethia and found her staring at him. He wondered if she intended to stop him before he even stole one kiss. When he slid his arm around her tiny waist, tugging her close to him, and she did not resist, he breathed an inner sigh of relief.
He started in surprise when, as he slowly lowered his mouth to hers, she suddenly wrapped her slender arms around his neck and yanked him even closer.
"Ye must be confused, lass," he said as he released her mouth and began to kiss her throat. "That was a morning kiss."
Bethia giggled, then sighed with delight as he moved his hands over her back. "There are different kinds of kisses for different occasions, are there?"
"For us--aye."
"Then what sort of kiss would ye give me if I told ye that I wasnae ready to go to sleep yet?" She cried out softly in surprise when he abruptly turned, pinning her firmly beneath his lean, hard body.
"That would require a kiss that asked, nay, begged for something," he said in a soft, rough voice as he brushed his mouth over hers.
The kiss he gave Bethia sent all of her senses reeling. She realized that he had been treating her gently, restraining himself. With his tongue, he ravished her mouth, then he pulled it back, tempting her to follow with her own, so the dance would begin all over again. He released her mouth only briefly, just long enough for her to take a breath, then started all over again until she was aware of nothing but the taste of him....

Scouting Report (via MLB Bonus Baby):
We're finally at the last CSN pitcher. Robinson profiled as the best pitching prospect on the team entering the season, and despite turning in routinely excellent starts, Roach and Hanks have lapped him. To Robinson's credit, he's continued to go out and do what he does best, which is hit the mitt with a solid pitch mix. If you look at Robinson, he doesn't look like an elite pitching prospect. His frame is pretty well filled out, and even though he has decent size at 6'2" and 190 pounds, he doesn't strike the average person as a high-ceiling baseball player. He lacks the big projection that scouts look for, but that doesn't mean his stuff is weak. Rather, he works with an above-average fastball that can sit in the 91-94 range on good days, touching 95-96 when needed. He commands that pitch very well, and he complements it with a solid-average slider and changeup. He's always going to have to get by on command, though, as he throws so many strikes that hitters will tend to cheat on his fastball. He profiles as a solid #4 starter in the long run, and even though he has solid draft stock now, he could easily land at Georgia, as he'd immediately step into a starter's role on a team that has struggled to find consistent starting pitching. On the other hand, Georgia's struggles could mean Robinson wants to move on to pro ball, so it's all a matter of personal preference.
Vitals & School:
- College of S. Nevada
- 6′ 3″
- 190 lbs.
- Throws: Right
- Bats: Right
More info:
Played with Bryce Harper at College of Southern Nevada.
Overall Thoughts:
This is an excellent pick, as most saw Robinson as a 4th-8th round pick. The Orioles have snagged some guys in the last 5 rounds that are easily top 10 rounds talent. He does have a commitment to Georgia, so whether or not they sign him is still in question.

HCDA gives the green light for second high rise condo at 801 South StreetUPDATED 8:24 PM HST Dec 04, 2013
The Hawaii Community Development Authority approved construction of a second 46-story tower while opponents claim the units will be too expensive for working class people.Video Transcript
A second high rise condo, will go up at the site of the old Honolulu Advertiser building. The Hawaii Community Development Authority approved construction on the 46-story tower today, along with a ten-story parking garage around it. The vote was 6 in favor with one abstention. As KITV4's Justin Fujioka reports, the green light was given in a room full of opposition. Dozens of people packed the H-C-D-A's office in Kakaako to find out the fate of a proposed second high rise at 801 South Street. The agency's executive director began the meeting by defending the project. Anthony Ching: "GIVEN THE IMPORTANCE OF THE COMMENTS, I WILL GO THROUGH EACH ONE OF THESE CONCERNS." One of which is Tower B's affordability. Its 410 units are expected to cost from 329 to 692-thousand dollars. Many of the project's opponents live in neighboring Royal Capitol Plaza, including Ariel Salinas. Ariel Salinas: "I'VE GONE THROUGH THE NUMBERS AND I CAN CONCLUSIVELY DEMONSTRATE THAT THE NUMBERS THAT THE HCDA USING, ARE USING, ARE FACTUALLY WRONG. THEY ARE SIMPLY INCORRECT." Critics say the condos at 801 South will be too expensive for working class people, even though the development is billed as workforce housing. Realtor Jason Nishikawa says workforce housing is for families making between one hundred and 140 percent of a community's median income. Jason Nishikawa: "I THINK HE HAS SOME OF HIS NUMBERS CONFUSED AND I THINK IF YOU LOOK AT THE INCOMES THAT ARE USED, THAT ARE ALLOWED TO BE USED UNDER THE FORMULA, YOU WILL SEE THAT IT ALL FITS RIGHT INTO THIS PRICE RANGE THAT THIS BUILDING IS PRICED AT."
