Creating a powerful emerging-market strategy has moved to the top of the growth agendas of many multinational companies, and for good reason: in 15 years' time, 57 percent of the nearly one billion households with earnings greater than $20,0001 1.
In terms of purchasing-power parity (PPP).
a year will live in the developing world. Seven emerging economies—China, India, Brazil, Mexico, Russia, Turkey, and Indonesia—are expected to contribute about 45 percent of global GDP growth in the coming decade. Emerging markets will represent an even larger share of the growth in product categories, such as automobiles, that are highly mature in developed economies.
Figures like these create a real sense of urgency among many multinationals, which recognize that they aren't currently tapping into those growth opportunities with sufficient speed or scale. Even China, forecast to create over half of all GDP growth in those seven developing economies, remains a relatively small market for most multinational corporations—5 to 10 percent of global sales; often less in profits.
To accelerate growth in China, India, Brazil, and other large emerging markets, it isn't enough, as many multinationals do, to develop a country-level strategy. Opportunities in these markets are also rapidly moving beyond the largest cities, often the focus of many of these companies. For sure, the top cities are important: by 2030, Mumbai's economy, for example, is expected to be larger than Malaysia's is today. Even so, Mumbai would in that year represent only 5 percent of India's economy and the country's 14 largest cities, 24 percent. China has roughly 150 cities with at least one million inhabitants. Their population and income characteristics are so different and changing so rapidly that our forecasts for their consumption of a given product category, over the next five to ten years, can range from a drop in sales to growth five times the national average.
Understanding such variability can help companies invest more shrewdly and ahead of the competition rather than following others into the fiercest battlefields. Consider Brazil's São Paulo state, where the economy is larger than all of Argentina's, competitive intensity is high, and retail prices are lower than elsewhere in the country. By contrast, in Brazil's northeast—the populous but historically poorest part of the country—the economy is growing much faster, competition is lighter, and prices are higher. Multinationals short on granular insights and capabilities tended to flock to São Paulo and to miss the opportunities in the northeast. It's only recently that they've started investing heavily there—trying to catch up with regional companies in what is often described as Brazil's "new growth frontier."
As developing economies become increasingly diverse and competitive, multinationals will need strategic approaches to understand such variance within countries and to concentrate resources on the most promising submarkets—perhaps 20, 30, or 40 different ones within a country. Of course, most leading corporations have learned to address different markets in Europe and the United States. But in the emerging world, there is a compelling case for learning the ropes much faster than most companies feel comfortable doing.
The appropriate strategic approach will depend on the characteristics of a national market (including its stage of urbanization), as well as a company's size, position, and aspirations in it. In this article, we explore in detail a "city cluster" approach, which targets groups of relatively homogenous, fast-growing cities in China. In India, where widespread urbanization is still gaining steam, we briefly look at similar ways of gaining substantial market coverage in a cost-effective way. Finally, in Brazil we quickly describe how growth is becoming more geographically dispersed and what that means for growth strategies.
By segmenting Chinese cities according to such factors as industry structure, demographics, scale, geographic proximity, and consumer characteristics, we identified 22 city clusters, each homogenous enough to be considered one market for strategic decision making (Exhibit 1). Prioritizing several clusters or sequencing the order in which they are targeted can help a company boost the effectiveness of its distribution networks, supply chains, sales forces, and media and marketing strategies.
For additional detail from the authors about this exhibit, see "A Better Approach to China's Markets," from the March 2010 issue of the Harvard Business Review.
More specifically, this approach can help companies to address opportunities in attractive smaller cities cost effectively and to spot opportunities for, among other things, expanding within rather than across clusters (Exhibit 2)—a strategy that requires a less complex supply chain and fewer partners. Companies that nonetheless want to expand across clusters may find it easier to target 50 to 100 similar cities within four or five big clusters than cities that theoretically offer the same market opportunity but are dispersed widely across the country.
Another major benefit of concentrating resources on certain clusters is the opportunity to exploit scale and network effects that stimulate faster, more profitable growth. Because most brands still have a relatively short history in China, for example, word of mouth plays a much greater role there than it does in developed economies. By focusing on attaining substantial market share in a cluster, a brand can unleash a virtuous cycle: once it reaches a tipping point there—usually at least a 10 to 15 percent market share—its reputation is quickly boosted by word of mouth from additional users, helping it to win yet more market share without necessarily spending more on marketing.
Here are four important tips to keep in mind when designing a city cluster strategy for China.
It's easy to be dazzled by the size of the biggest cities, but trying to cover all of them is less effective for the simple reason that they can be very far from one another. Although Chengdu, Xi'an, and Wuhan, for example, are among the ten largest cities in China, each of them is about 1,000 kilometers away from any of the others. In Shandong province, the biggest city is Jinan, which is barely in the top 20. Yet Shandong has 21 cities among China's 150 largest, which makes the area one of the five most attractive city clusters. Its GDP is about four times bigger than that of the cluster of cities around and including Xi'an, as well as three times bigger than the cluster of cities surrounding Chengdu.
The growth of incomes and product categories is another variable that must be treated in granular fashion. Extrapolating future trends from historical patterns is particularly suspect—however detailed that history may be—because consumer spending habits change so rapidly once wealth rises.
In some clusters, many people are starting to buy their first low-end domestic cars; in others, they are upgrading to imports or even to luxury brands. We expect sales of SUVs to increase at a 20 percent compound annual growth rate nationwide in the next four years, for example, but to grow as quickly as 50 percent in several cities and, potentially, even to decline in some where penetration is already deep. Similar or even sharper variance held true in almost every service or product category we analyzed, from face moisturizers to chicken burgers to flat-screen TVs. Yogurt sales in some cities are growing eight times faster than the national average.
The Shenzhen cluster has the highest share (90 percent) of middle class households—those earning over $9,000 a year. In other clusters, such as Nanchang and Changchun–Harbin, more than half of all households are still poor. As a result, people in the Shenzhen cluster are already active consumers of many categories, and the potential for growth is fairly limited. In the poorer clusters, many categories are just emerging, as larger numbers of people pass the threshold at which more goods become affordable. From a strategic viewpoint, the richer cluster could still be a major growth market for premiumgoods but not for most mass-market ones.
Talking about Chinese consumers and how they shop is a bit like talking about European consumers. While some generalizations may be fair, certain very strong differences, even within regions, go well beyond the already significant economic variance. Guangzhou and Shenzhen, for example, are both tier-one cities, located in the same province and just two hours apart. But Guangzhou's people mainly speak Cantonese, are mostly locally born, and like to spend time at home with family and friends. In contrast, more than 80 percent of Shenzhen's residents are young migrants, from all across the country, who mainly speak Mandarin and spend most of their time away from their homes. To be effective, marketers will probably have to differentiate their campaigns and emphasize different channels when reaching out to the people in these two cities. That's why we suggest managing them in different clusters, despite their proximity.
The need to localize marketing activities also results from the limited reach of national media. China has over 3,000 TV channels, but just a few are available across the country. In some areas, only around 5 percent of consumers watch national television. Other media, such as newspapers and radio (and of course billboards), are even more local.
Very few companies can craft their entire strategy at the level of a cluster—those that do are usually its regional champions. But with differences such as the following common, some tailoring is critical:
Every second consumer in Shandong believes that well-known brands are always of higher quality, and 30 percent are willing to stretch their budgets to pay a premium for the better product. In south Jiangsu, only a quarter of consumers preferred the well-known brands, and only 16 percent were willing to pay a premium for them.
In the Shenzhen cluster, 38 percent of food and beverage shoppers found suggestions from in-store promoters to be a credible source of information, compared with only 12 percent in Nanjing.
In Shanghai, 58 percent of residents shop for apparel in department stores, compared with only 27 percent of Beijing residents.
With such diversity common, even merely fine-tuning the marketing mix and channel focus by cluster can pay enormous dividends.
Some companies may want to merge or divide clusters for strategic-management purposes. A company could, for instance, merge geographically nearby clusters, such as Guangzhou and Shenzhen or Chengdu and Chongqing, if its supply chain was well positioned to manage these proximate clusters as one. Other companies, highly driven by the media market, would find it sensible to split the Shanghai cluster into subclusters, because some markets within it are still quite different in their TV habits and other choices. By contrast, people in certain clusters, such as Chengdu or Guangzhou, watch similar TV shows across the entire cluster, so intracluster expansion allows companies to make more effective use of the media spending needed to attract consumers in the big cities.
The actual number of submarkets a company opts for will depend in practice on its needs. That number should be manageable—most likely, 20 to 40. Fewer wouldn't be likely to produce the required degree of granularity, though a company might have logistical reasons for taking this approach. More would probably be too many to run effectively.
Often, the challenges of accessing consumption growth cost effectively are even greater in India than in China because India is less urbanized and at an earlier stage of its economic development. Companies would need to reach up to 3,500 towns and 334,000 villages, for example, to pursue opportunities in the 10 (of 28) Indian states that by 2030 will account for 73 percent of the country's GDP and 62 percent of the urban population.
To allocate financial and human resources smartly and make things more manageable, companies need to walk away from averages and adopt more granular approaches. Some companies will be well served by focusing on 12 clusters around India's 14 largest cities. Those clusters will provide access to as much as 60 percent of the country's urban GDP by 2030, when the 14 largest cities are likely to account for 24 percent of GDP.
True, India's major clusters won't cover as much of the economy as those in China, where they will encompass 92 percent of urban GDP by 2015. Yet a hub-and-spoke approach in India should provide similar opportunities to optimize supply chains, as well as sales and marketing networks. An established technology player formerly operated in 120 cities all over India, for example. Recently, it shifted to focusing on eight clusters with a total of 67 cities, which still gave it access to 70 percent of its potential market. One benefit: customer service costs fell from a rapidly growing 9 to 10 percent of sales to a more acceptable 5 percent (Exhibit 3).
Alternatively, a company might improve the economics of its Indian business by focusing on a handful of states, an approach recently adopted by a retailer that had previously been pursuing a national footprint. Another company, this one in the consumer goods sector, recently decided to pursue opportunities in eight cities where consumers earn over $2,500 a year—more than twice the average for India—and the retail infrastructure suits its products nicely. Without this more granular analysis, the multinational would have stayed on the sidelines in the mistaken belief that Indian consumers weren't ready for its products. It would therefore have missed the opportunity to challenge a competitor rapidly gaining the lead in those markets.
In contrast to China and India, Brazil has been open to multinationals for decades. But during much of that time, most large companies in sectors such as consumer packaged goods focused on the southern (and most affluent) parts of the country. With just over half of the national population, this region includes São Paulo city and state, Brazil's financial and industrial center.
As economic growth accelerated in recent years, many consumers started upgrading to more sophisticated products. But growth has also been moving beyond the south and a few large cities, becoming more geographically dispersed. In the populous northeast, for example, income per capita is only half of its level in São Paulo, but the economy is growing faster than it is elsewhere in Brazil. Succeeding in new regions like the northeast requires a fresh approach for many companies. Consider the following:
Many global companies still make the mistake of doing their consumer research in São Paulo when they are designing new products or national marketing campaigns for Brazil. They don't realize that cosmopolitan São Paulo probably has more in common culturally with New York than with any other city in Brazil.
Modern-format stores account for 70 percent of retailing in Brazil overall, but for only 55 percent in the northeast. To reach thousands of small (and often capital-constrained) outlets spread all over the region, packaged-goods companies must develop third-party networks specializing in frequent deliveries of goods and small drop sizes. What's more, in Brazil as a whole, many consumer goods companies found that they had focused too much on hypermarkets when designing assortments and promotions. One company, for example, discovered that Brazil's expanding drugstore chains were the fastest-growing channel for personal-care and beauty products. Some leading consumer goods companies have now created specialized organizations that execute distinct channel strategies in different regions and categories, with tailored product portfolios and displays.
Many packaged-goods companies see detergent powders as a developed category in Brazil. But relatively affluent consumers there are upgrading to larger and more sophisticated washing machines, and many consumers in the northeast are buying their first fully automated machines. New detergent formulas therefore have enormous potential—annual consumption in the northeast is less than half of what it is in the south. Seizing this opportunity requires an understanding of the regional consumer, however, particularly pack size preferences (Exhibit 4). Consumers in the northeast also want a strong perfume and great quantities of foam but care less about whitening power.
Brazil is distinct from China and India in many respects. But as these examples suggest, there too identifying growth opportunities increasingly requires a detailed understanding of vast regional variations in competition levels, income, product growth rates, consumer preferences, and retail channels.
There is no one-size-fits-all strategy for capturing consumer growth in emerging markets. What's clear, though, is that traditional country strategies and other aggregated approaches will miss the mark because they can't account for the variability and rapid change in these markets. As the battle for the wallet of the emerging-market consumer shifts into higher gear, companies that think about growth opportunities at a more granular level have a better chance of winning.

Putting It All Together: Finding the Perfect Dining Set
Buying a full dining table set is a quick, convenient way to give your dining room an instant makeover -- especially if you've got an old, mismatched set right now.
But with so many different styles, shapes, sizes, chair fabrics, and colors to choose from, how do you choose?
By making a list of your must-have features, of course. Here are a few options to consider when picking out the perfect dining set for your home:
Size Matters: Choosing the Size, Shape, and Height
First, you need to determine how much room you want your dining table to take. Do you just need seating for two, or for eight or more?
If you've got a big, airy dining room and plan to host plenty of large dinner parties, then a big table with a leaf or two and a couple of extra chairs is a natural choice.
For a smaller space, consider a round table to act as your room's centerpiece. Or, go rectangular with a breakfast/dining nook that can tuck into a corner and still leave you some room to breathe.
Finally, do you want a standard-height table for family meals? Or a counter- or bar-height table for sharing coffee with a friend and enjoying the view from your favorite window?
To Leaf or Not To Leaf?
If you have occasional guests for dinner, then a dining set with a table leaf is a good investment. Here, too, there are several options to choose from.
A butterfly leaf is perfect for small dining rooms with limited space. In this type of table, the leaf (or multiple leaves) folds up underneath the table when not in use, eliminating the need for a separate storage space.
A drop leaf dining table also helps you save space, with leaves that fold down on hinges on each side of the table. Again, the attached, folding leaves keep you from having to find a place to store them when not in use.
An extension leaf, usually the drop-in style found in traditional tables, provides extra space for larger gatherings. In many extension leaf tables, you can add multiple leaves to accommodate a big group of people -- just don't forget to also add some extra chairs!
The Breakfast Nook: A Small Space Champion
Take advantage of corner space in a small dining area. A breakfast nook is a great solution, as many styles feature bench seating along two corner walls and a bench or chairs on the outside.
Your breakfast nook can come in a traditional style, with all-wood benches in a finish that matches the table. Or, it can give your room a more contemporary look, with rich fabric or leather seat upholstery to add a bit of luxury.
Seating: A Perfect Match
Once you've determined your dining set's size and style, it's time to consider the kind of seating you want.
Consider mixing a bench on one side of the table with matching chairs on the other for a casual, modern look.
Do you spend a lot of time around the table, such as hosting family game nights? You might want to go with a set that includes comfortable, padded chairs.
Spending a little time now to think about your dining room's space, decor, and how you'll be using your table and chairs will help you find the ideal dining set for your home.

I'm sure there are quite a few Voltron fans on this forum. Having said that, has anyone played the new Voltron Game that was developed by Behaviour Interactive?
I looked at the trailer and some gameplay on YouTube and was quite disappointed. Maybe I was expecting something better because it's been so long since anyone has done anything with Voltron.

Anniston High graduate featured in newsletter
James Barton, a 1978 graduate of Anniston High School, is spotlighted in the October newsletter published by the Gospel Music Workshop of America, an international organization. Barton now sings and plays the keyboard with a group called God's Chosen. The group has just released their first CD, "Down Memory Lane." Currently, Barton is the senior pastor of Speak the Work Outreach Ministry in Phenix City. He is a member of the James Cleveland National Choir, the Atlanta Masonic Reunion Choir and a musician at Greater Mount Zion Baptist Church in Phenix City.
A picture of Barton's grandfather, the late George W. Washington, along with several other prominent men in south Anniston's past, is seen on a plaque in John Nettles Park on South Christine Avenue. Washington was pastor at St. John's United Methodist Church in the 1940s. His wife, Mattie Washington, was a Girl Scout leader. The church still stands on the southeast corner of the park.
JSU Orchestra concert Nov. 26
Christmas comes in different packages. To open an early Christmas gift that brings good tidings, come to the JSU/Community Orchestra's Fall Concert on Nov. 26 and hear melodies fit for festivity. The concert, at 7:30 p.m. at the Stone Center on the JSU campus, features music by Mozart, Vivaldi, Brahms and Leo Delibes that, granted, are not your usual Yuletide songs, but they are festive and will put you in the celebratory mood.
The concert is a free event.
The compositions represent different time periods — Classical, Baroque and Romantic — but they all are characteristic of the music written in the Classical period when composers were concerned with simple beauty in their design and appealing melodies and harmonies, according to Mike Gagliardo, orchestra conductor. The composers on the program are well known. But Gagliardo said some of the music will be new to the audience.
"The output of these composers was so wide that some of their works are just not selected for concerts often," he said.
Mozart's composition "Kassation No. 1" was written when he was 13 years old. At that point, he was already sophisticated in his writing, having taken pen to paper when he was only three. The piece was written to celebrate the end of an academic year. Especially rousing is his Menuetto movement.
The concert's most dramatic piece is Brahms' "Hungarian Dance No. 5," which reflects his delight in gypsy folk music and dances. When the German composer wrote his first set of Hungarian Dances in 1859, it is said that music lovers stopped this short, stocky, scholarly man (who smoked a pipe) on the street to ask for his autograph. In the two Brahms pieces, listeners will hear melodies that seem to laugh one moment and cry the next.

Many Christians are far from Christ because while they profess Christ, they actually believe in Dionysus; they actually believe in a god who justifies their violence rather than leads them in the way of forgive. And the Christian world is going mad because we don't believe in Christ who leads us to love and forgive all, including our enemies.

We want an answer that ends this. We want to know that it was only this man. Only a mental illness, or only the last of an obsolete brand of cultish hate. We want to believe it will not happen again. But the truth is, there is sin in our world, and it will keep tempting us to hate, and we have put the tools of violence too easily in reach.
Commonsense immigration reform is part of a consistent ethic in which all of life is treated as sacred, and we will continue to pray and to act until we fix this "broken [immigration] system."
More and more, I'm seeing that the issue is not doctrine; it's attitude. It's not theology; it's posture. It's not the brain; it's the heart.
The old guard has confused orthodoxy with their political and moral interpretations of Scripture.
Pride, greed, hatred, bitterness, fear, and ignorance often cause Christians to promote distrust instead of unity — but what if Christians were more patient, graceful, and forgiving of each other?
I looked these immigrant workers in the eyes and said through tears: "God sees you. You are not alone. Across the nation people from the north and south — people who are black, white, Latino, Asian American, and Native American are rising up to stand with you."
As a Christian, I think there is a lot to be excited about in the generation that's poised to inherit the world … after we move out of our parents' houses, that is.
How one person changed everything I knew about immigration reform and undocumented immigrants.
Trauma upends everything we took for granted, including things we didn't know we took for granted. And many of these realities I wish I'd known when I first encountered them. So, while the work of life and healing continues, here are ten things I've learned about trauma along the way.

With a household of 4 you'd want the biggest heat-pump water heater available. If your water volume use is high it would lower the temperature of the basement considerably, but it would also provide substantial dehumidification.
I'm not sure if the GeoSpring still has all the issues that they were stumbling on a few years ago, now that production has moved from China to Kentucky, but I believe that was WHY they made the change.
All heat pump water heaters are a bit noisy, so putting one directly under a bedroom may not be ideal.
Whether the water heater is the most cost effective way to reduce oil consumption isn't clear. It might be, but usually not. It just depends.
With an oil boiler in the basement, the basement is being "conditioned", whether you're intentionally heating it or not. Air-sealing & insulating the band joist & foundation sill and all known window/door/plumbing/vent/chimney penetrations into the basement is often the most cost-effective $500-1000 you can throw at an old house, since it blocks the bottom part of the stack in the "stack effect", dramatically reducing the amount of stack-driven infiltration that's going on 24/365. Air sealing between the top floor ceiling and attic floor is also a big winner, and usually cheaper than the band-joist. Sealing both the top & bottom of the house is HUGE for reducing the heat load, and always cost effective. To seal around flues requires sheet metal and fire-rated mastic or foam, but flues chases are often direct leaks from the basement to the attic, throwing away heat in winter, and sucking in humidity during the summer. Electric & plumbing penetrations into the attic can usually be sealed with can-foam.
Insulating the foundation walls (at least down to a couple feet below grade) is more expensive, but also has rapid payback when heating oil is the fuel.
Air sealing the top & bottom of the house and insulating the foundation could easily reduce oil consumption by 25%. So if you're burning 800 gallons of $4 oil per year, that investment is paying back about (200 gallons x $4=) $800/year after-taxes. Installing a heat pump water heater would replace your (100 gallons? 150?) of oil use, but add about 1/2 the cost back as extra power use. (Depends a bit on your power rates, how much dehumdification is being offset, etc.)
If the first floor has a reasonably open floor plan and the house can accommodate it, installing a ductless mini-split heat pump (even a 3/4 tonner) can displace enough oil with electricity at operating cost low enough to pay for itself in oil savings in under 3 years. (Some people are getting rid of their oversized oil-burners entirely going with ductless heat pumps, but that's not always the best solution for an old farmhouse.) The hardware is pretty cheap, and most of the install can be done as DIY if you're handy, though it's generally better to let a pro do the final purge/charge/test commissioning unless you already have the necessary refrigeration-tech tools & experience. A mini-split also provides very efficient and very quiet air conditioning without eating up window space. A pretty good 3/4 ton unit is comparable in hardware cost to a heat pump water heater, and would probably have a faster payback than a heat pump water heater. A 1.25 tonner isn't a whole lot more expensive, and if properly sized for the space could cut your oil bill by half or more (depends on the house, the layout, the R-values/U-factors, etc.)
I don't know whether any of this works for you or what breaks the budget, but kick it around a bit before pulling the trigger on a heat pump water heater. In general, fixing the heat leaks on the house provides more comfort than adding a mini-split but after the low hanging fruit on the house is mostly plucked there's very good bang/buck in displacing oil heat with ductless heat pumps in your climate. Whenever I read "oil boiler" in conjunction with "unconditioned basement", I'm inclined to attack the issues with the house first, the space heating next, and water heating would be a distant third, even when dealing with a tankless coil in an oversized oil boiler.

5005 Northeast 13th Avenue, Portland, OR | Directions 9721145.559264 -122.652811
Neighborhoods: Northeast Coalition of Neighborhoods
Best Facial in Portland – I am not generally someone to spring and pamper myself but I found a deal on Mobba for a 75 min facial for $35 (!!!) and thought I'd give it a try.
Its a very small spa but that's what makes it intimate and so relaxing. When I went I was the only client there and had such specialized attention. She brought up ideas about my skin that I'd never even thought to mention or address and she made sure to educate me through the entire way -- not in a non relaxing way though. I was so comfortable and felt beautiful afterward even with no make up on. I told her up front that I had found the deal online and expected her to maybe skimp a little on my treatment since I wasn't paying full price but she went up and above my expectations -- seriously surpassing the service I had when I payed full price at a well known Portland Spa.
I highly recommend that people try at least one of their services, I will definitely be back -- you definitely need to experience Beauty Mark to understand why they get such high marks!
Thanks again Beauty Mark.
The greatest! – I love Beauty Mark! They are in a cute space above the Green MicroGym on Alberta. You might wonder if blasting pump-you-up gym music can be heard from below? NOPE! Thank goodness!
Brazilians may seem scary (not the people, silly - the waxing), but Rebecca puts you at ease while skillfully tidying up the lady bits.
A feeling of calm and quiet fills the wonderfully scented space and I appreciate the down-to-earth attitude.
If you are calling to make an appointment but hear the voicemail come on, don't worry - leave a message. You will get a call back the same day, often within less than an hour. They are always prepared for your arrival and appointments happen on time.
Since this is a small studio, you will not hear the horrifying sound of screaming hair dryers, risk personal exposure in a drafty or crowded waiting area or witness the rolling eyes of a snotty receptionist who can't seem to get off the phone. ALL ABSENT! Instead, you can expect to enjoy calm, unrushed, personalized service.
The price is well worth the smooooth results, especially since there are no razor burns/bumps.
If you haven't had a Brazilian wax and are considering having one, this is the place to go!
Best wax ever!!! – I never ever write these reviews, but here goes...
Beauty Mark is one of those great, well-kept secrets in PDX. They barely have a sign, but it's totally worth finding at the corner of 15th and Prescott in NE.
It's adorable inside and ever since my first appt. I've been smitten!! Danielle is the owner and she rocks. They sort of specialize in waxing, facials, etc. and it's not like going to some greater-than-thou spa. You're the only one there and Danielle is as attentive to my brows as she is to my phobia of hair-plucking! I've never felt so comfortable and relaxed when getting myself beautified. I heart Danielle big time!
If you don't know where to go for a wax of any kind, Beauty mark should be at the top of your list. Even the parking was easy.
fancy fancy!!
Who says waxing can't be a pleasure? – I've been going to Beauty Mark for almost a year and have gotten everything from a brow wax to a brazilian. Rebecca has given me AMAZING eyebrows and I even get compliments on them. She makes you feel very comfortable and the environment is very clean and calm. I really look forward to coming in to chat too, she makes that extra effort to make the process fun and as painless as possible. I recommend waxing over shaving your bikini area and I recommend you have Rebecca do it for you!
Wow! 3 times the Charm... – Okay,so, I would drive to Seattle to get my brows done. Because, shaping and waxing brows is a god giving talent. I definitely miss my girl there. But, fuel is too expensive and it was getting old. I was afraid yet determined to find the perfect esthetician anywhere in Ptown. Finally, just blocks from my house, there she was, Beauty Mark/Rebecca, she was awesome, listened and took her time. I couldn't ask for more. My brows look fabulous. Third time was definitely the Charm. I haven't had any other services done there yet, but certainly planning on it. Thanks!!!
I love this Place for Waxing and Facials!!!!!! – I have been going to see Danielle for about 2 years now. She is so amazing and she really knows how to make you feel comfortable. I have been waxed from head to toe and she always takes her time and gets every hair!! She does a great job on my brows!! I have also been getting facials and peels from her off and on, when I do my skin is so happy. Danielle is great because she really tries to educate you about what is good for your skin without trying to sell you tons of product. I love Beauty Mark because it is small and intimate and you are the only person there at one time. Go check it out you won't be dissappointed
Wonderful facials with lots of knowledge! – I recently discovered this small spa and feel in love with it. Rebecca is so nice and helpful. She really took time to listen to my needs and gave me some great advice on products I should use. She didn't pressure me to buy any products but just informed me what they would do for my skin. I look forward to coming back and getting another facial and peel.
best facial and waxing! – beauty mark is consistently fun, professional and really delivers. rebecca always gives me the best facials, and my skin--which is very sensitive/ combination and prone to break-outs, is getting prettier and smoother every day! my waxing has never been smoother, plus they make sure to tweeze any strays and always clean up any residual wax. (as anyone who's ever had a not-so- thorough job done on this account knows; although everyone should do this, it feels awkward if you have to ask...) plus, the space is very sweet and rebecca and danielle are so very knowledgeable and thoughtful. i would recommend everyone who wants to be ensured great treatments given by great gals book an appointment here. you're sure to feel the same as i do, and want to carry around their cards for when your friends ask who you're seeing...
Best Brazilian!!! – I had the best brazilian ever! My service was quick, clean, and very private...not to mention I had the smoothest wax ever. The space is super cute and I love being the only one there! She made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. I would defenetly recomend this place to all.
Wonderful Facial and Waxing! – I've never had a facial and now I'm hooked. Rebecca took the time to educate me on how to take care of my skin. The facial itself was wonderful and relaxing. I also have my eyebrows waxed and they look great. I love that they have a private space. You truly feel pampered when you go to Beauty Mark!

text: Jacqui Fatka Archives Email Author EU Say U.S. Too Ambitious in WTO Market Access Requests European Union wants U.S. to lower its standards when it comes to market access. Jacqui Fatka Published on: Nov 9, 2005 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print Is too ambitious possible when it comes to market access levels in world trade talks? The European Union thinks the United States has done exactly that by calling on countries to reduce tariff levels up to 90%. No longer is the world focus on lowering domestic support. Instead all eyes are looking to the EU to provide market access that provides economic development needed for developing countries. In a conference call Wednesday, U.S. Trade Representative Rob Portman addressed specifically concerns from the EU that the U.S. trade proposal is unrealistic in terms of market access. "The EU is saying the U.S. needs to be more realistic. What they're really saying is that we should lower our expectations," Portman says. "That will not meet the promise of Doha in terms of economic development." Developing countries demanded focus on agriculture in this round. It is market access that provides the opportunities for economic development, not reduction in domestic support or export subsidies, Portman adds. The Uruguay Round, criticized for not going far enough for agriculture, brought an average reduction of 36% in tariffs and 20% in aggregated measured support. The latest EU proposal calls for a 39% cut in tariffs and allows 8% sensitive products left out of tariff rate reductions. The U.S. proposal asks for a 90% reduction in tariffs, the G20 developing nations want between 45 to 75%. The World Bank says without 75% reduction in tariffs, market access issues will still stifle developing countries competitiveness. Portman says the U.S. is willing to negotiate at levels between the G20 and U.S. proposal. Currently, EU's proposal is far from those levels. Commodity groups won't support deal without market access Instantly when headlines read "U.S. Proposes 60% Subsidy Cuts," commodity groups and farmers across the country were posturing for a hard fight. Their loudest cry then and still, was "give us market access and we'll let you lower our payments." A House Agriculture hearing last week talked specifically about the WTO negotiations. Representatives from agriculture groups across the board said market access is conditional for future approval of a deal. The U.S. proposal on market access did not specifically address the need for equally ambitious improvements in market access by developing countries. "Developing countries are the markets of the future," says Bob Metz, American Soybean Association President. "In making the case for trade liberalization, the Administration has pointed out that 95% of the world's population lives outside our borders. ASA calls attention to the fact that 81% of this population lives in developing countries. That's why the U.S. must ensure adequate market access to developing country markets." National Corn Growers Association President Gerald Tumbleson testified that NCGA support is conditional. "The U.S. proposals on domestic support would require fundamental changes in U.S. farm programs. We can only agree to such changes in the context of an agreement that offer substantial improvements in market access for U.S. exports; the elimination of export subsidies; substantial reductions in trade-distorting support by our competitors; and preserving an effective safety net for U.S. producers."

Syrian violence contributed to a sharp rise in the number of journalists killed for their work in 2012, as did a series of murders in Somalia. The dead include a record proportion of journalists who worked online. A CPJ special report
Syrian violence contributed to a sharp rise in the number of journalists killed for their work in 2012, as did a series of murders in Somalia. The dead include a record proportion of journalists who worked online. A CPJ special report
Almost half of the 67 journalists killed worldwide in 2012 were targeted and murdered for their work, research by the Committee to Protect Journalists shows. The vast majority covered politics. Many also reported on war, human rights, and crime. In almost half of these cases, political groups are the suspected source of fire. There has been no justice in a single one of these deaths.
Bogotá, November 30, 2012--Top Colombian police officials must conduct an intensive investigation into the actions of local police during their arrest of freelance journalist Guillermo Quiroz Delgado, who died Tuesday night, seven days after he was hospitalized for injuries suffered while in custody, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today.
The Colombian Supreme Court announced on August 27, 2012, that it would drop a defamation complaint against prominent journalist Cecilia Orozco Tascón, according to news reports. Five days earlier, the court released a statement saying it would file charges against Orozco, who writes a widely read column in the Bogotá daily El Espectador. The court also criticized a column by another journalist, María Jimena Duzán, which was published in the weekly Semana magazine.
Bogotá, August 27, 2012--Colombia's Supreme Court must immediately drop an unprecedented criminal defamation complaint against a prominent local columnist who questioned recent actions by the court, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today.
Colombian journalist Élida Parra Alonso, who was kidnapped on July 24, 2012, by a local guerrilla group in the northeastern state of Arauca, was released on August 13, 2012, according to news reports. Parra hosts a program for Sarare Estéreo radio station and does community outreach work for Oleoducto Bicentenario, a company constructing an oil pipeline that it says will be the largest in the country, news reports said.
New York, July 26, 2012--The Committee to Protect Journalists condemns the kidnapping of a Colombian journalist and calls on authorities to secure her safe return. Élida Parra Alonso, who covers children's rights and hosts a program for Sarare Estéreo radio station, was abducted from her home on Tuesday, according to news reports.
More than a year after he left office, Álvaro Uribe Vélez confessed that "it was not in him" to live as a former president. And in fact, having dominated Colombian politics for eight years, it has been impossible for Uribe to fade from the public eye since leaving office in August 2010. Instead of retiring to his ranch in Antioquia, he has lived in a heavily protected compound in the capital, Bogotá, with his wife and two sons. He spends his time traveling abroad for speaking engagements, has been a scholar at Georgetown University, and more recently announced the creation of a new political platform to oppose current President Juan Manuel Santos.
New York, May 30, 2012-The Committee to Protect Journalists welcomes today's release of French journalist Roméo Langlois who was held hostage for more than a month by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).
New York, May 16, 2012-- The Committee to Protect Journalists condemns Tuesday's attack on Fernando Londoño, a radio talk show host and former high-ranking government official. Londoño was injured in a bombing in Bogotá that killed his driver and bodyguard.
92 Threats made against journalists, the highest rate in at least five years.

About Jean Patou
History and background of Jean Patou. Jean Patou was born in Normandy, France, in 1880. Patou's father was a leading tanner (leather maker) and his uncle owned a fur business which Patou joined in 1907. In 1912 Patou opened Maison Parry, a small dressmaking salon in Paris, and sold his entire 1914 collection to one American buyer. His career was then interrupted by the war, which he spent as an army captain. Read more about Jean Patou

Very pleasant fragrance, for woman who likes floral gentle perfumes. I would recommend it for daily use, maybe for walks true park or when you want to feel like young girl. It is not seductive scent or scent who will make man turn head after you.

Comments about Enjoy By Jean Patou:
This perfume is like a hurricane, comes in very strong and leaves nothing behind it.
Not sure if it's my skin but it does not hold at all, can't even smell after 10 minutes or so.
Reason for , I bought all the perfumes- Sublime, Joy, Sierra des Indes-none of them last on my skin.
So , I am quite confused and dissapointed as I have heard they were strong and long lasting!
Maybe they were too old, I just don't know!But I am very sad and just don't know why they don't hold at all.

Comments about Jean Patou Enjoy Perfume:
Just got this today, but I can see I am in love with it right the way. It smells amazingly, and it seems to last on my skin. Never had Jean Patou but I know now that I will only look Jean Patou's perfumes for a while..
So , bottom line, I feel this is strong and it is for evening use, I sprayed a little on my hand and it seems to smell every where I go..so I am in love with it. I can see how it can be too much for other people, but not for me.
Fragrance X .com I will give you 100 stars!!!!!!!!!!So happy I just ordered another one!!!!

Comments about Enjoy By Jean Patou:
Enjoy is the only fragrance that I use. I get compliments from both men and women and seldom encounter anyone else wearing it, making it truly a signature scent. It is difficult to find to purchase so I am a huge FragranceX fan.

"Theatre, arts and dance – a creative way to cross borders", a project in Berne.
The weather is warm in Bümpliz, with summer treading timidly on the heels of spring, a fine evening. I prolong my stroll around the town centre; my appointment is at 7.30.
The gentle sound of a music box, four people seated around a desk, working. They slowly lose their balance, end up on the ground, slowly try to get up again. They make it, but return to their original, precarious position.

On the first objective and still under continual enemy fire, Major Anderson re-organised the Battalion and rallied men whose Commanders, in most cases, had been either killed or wounded. The Commanding Officer having been killed, he took command of the Battalion and led the assault on the second objective. During this assault he received a leg wound, but in spite of this he carried on and finally captured " Longstop " Hill with a total force of only four officers and less than forty other ranks.
While the Germans had complete command of the skies the Me 321, and later the Me 323, were to prove their worth in transporting heavy equipment over the vast distances of Russia. When the German campaign in North Africa began to unravel, the Me 323 was pressed into service to transport men and munitions between Tunisia and Sicily.
I identified it at once-it was a Focke-Wulf 190. I had not studied the photos and recognition charts so often for nothing. After firing a burst of tracer at me he bore down on Martell. Yes, it certainly was one – the short wings, the radial engine, the long transparent hood: the square-cut tail-plane all in one piece!

Where to find Fourthdoor Review
Also, and very belatedly, since it's for the first time, a list of Fourth Door outlets around Britain and Europe
Fourth Door Review is the unique cross-disciplinary publishing venture from Sussex, Britain. Published annually, Fourth Door Review, explores the relationships between ecology and technology, art and architecture, and new media and new music. Part book, part magazine, Fourth Door Review expands these horizons in ground-breaking ways, offering in-depth essay-features and interviews alongside short overviews, across a spectrum of connections contemporary art, design, craft and architecture are making with new technologies, sustainability and ecological perspectives.
Last year, four years after hanging up its shoes, we rebooted Fourth Door Review into new spool of life. The Hall of Risk issue includes features on artists, Chris Drury and Jem Finer; musicians David Sylvian and Harold Budd, and a special feature on the Alpine regional architectural culture of Graubunden, Switzerland and Vorarlberg, Austria; with Peter Zumthor, Valerio Olgiati, Dietmar Eberle, and Hermann Kauffmann. Also Juhani Pallasmaa interviewed, essays by architecture critic Jay Merrick and writer Jay Griffiths and new media artist Susan Collins in conversation with Sean Cubitt, and you can find further detailed info on the edition here
The Review is a sister project to Fourth Door Research and the Fourth Door's web-magazine, Unstructured.
'Provocative and Visionary' Utne Reader
'One of the few magazines that takes an in depth view of Nature and Culture; that combines articles on the arts and architecture with new views on ecology, science, food and sustainable living. It is neither new age nor academic but explores innovative creativity outside of the current cultural norms' Chris Drury
Fourth Door Review was winner of the US's Utne Independent Press New Culture Award for 2002. Utne Reader described Fourth Door Review as "a provocative and visionary British magazine aimed at breaking down barriers 'between ecology and technology, land art and digital crafts, music and media.'"
Norwegian and German Language content on FourthDoor website
We've been adding to and updating various parts of the website.
This includes some new articles uploaded in the articles section. For our (many, doubtless) Norwegian architectural readers there's a first Norwegian language article – a review of the 1:1 Small-Spaces art-architecture installation at the Victoria & Albert Museum last autumn. And also Annular now features an in-depth look at massive wood across the Norwegian architecture scene
There's some new Fourth Door Review information for the German-speaking world. This includes pdf's and documents about Fourth Door Review for outlets, architects, individuals (coming soon) and institutions (coming soon), as well as a couple of reviews from Zurich's Hochparterre and the Austrian Architecture Review Architektur Aktuelle

Being partly Irish I LOVE the green color. Some folks might find it wierd. It's different from everyone else in my class and I like that, too. Feels very comfortable on the floor and rolls easily.
The mat is super thick and made of a high quality material. As previous reviews show, it is better made than some of the cheaper mats out there. I disagree that a thicker mat will throw you off balance as I don't have that problem. I don't recommend using it on a carpet, but we have hardwood floors and I needed something with extra cushion. Definitely worth the price. this would have cost at least 40 bucks at a sport supply store.
Good thick sturdy, but not hard, Long Enough! Flexible. Best used at one place, as it doesn't roll up small. Slifps right under my bed, so no problem.
I think this exercise pad is awesome! Great for situps and stretches. Easy to wipe sweat off and stays in place . I really like this product and would purchase another one, after I wear this one out. Easy to roll up and carry or store away too.
Need I say more than that I bought a second one of the same Mat? It is very good for doing Pylometrics, Yoga, Ab exercises, especially kind on my knees.
I bought this mat because reviews said it was plush and cushiony. I received it with a couple gouges and tried using it it was like sitting on the floor I do not know what others were talking about when reviewing this mat.
Good for general exercise purposed wouldn't use for yoga or Pilates. Rolls up and lays flat well. Seems durable.
Used for stretching and yoga- great quality, great cushion
I love this mat, it has good thickness. I do my exercises on the hard floor and this mat makes my body feels so comfortable. :)
This is fabulous not thin like the old when and when I exercise it is a blessing! Love it!

Mineral and energy resources: Expert Reports
The division produces 60-70 reports per year. These reports are unique, authoritative expert evaluations. Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review. The experts who volunteer their time participating on study committees are vetted to make sure that the committee has the range of expertise needed to address the task, that they have a balance of perspectives, and to identify and eliminate members with conflicts of interest. All reports undergo a rigorous, independent peer review to assure that the statement of task has been addressed, that conclusions are adequately supported, and that all important issues raised by the reviewers are addressed. Thus, while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy.
An Ecosystem Services Approach to Assessing the Impacts of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico (2013)
As the Gulf of Mexico recovers from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, natural resource managers face the challenge of fully understanding the impacts of the spill and setting priorities for restoration work.

Beheaded on Tower Hill, London, on July 6, 1535, he steadfastly refused to approve Henry VIII's divorce and remarriage and establishment of the Church of England.
Described as "a man for all seasons," More was a literary scholar, eminent lawyer, gentleman, father of four children and chancellor of England. An intensely spiritual man, he would not support the king's divorce from Catherine of Aragon in order to marry Anne Boleyn. Nor would he acknowledge Henry as supreme head of the Church in England, breaking with Rome and denying the pope as head.
More was committed to the Tower of London to await trial for treason: not swearing to the Act of Succession and the Oath of Supremacy. Upon conviction, More declared he had all the councils of Christendom and not just the council of one realm to support him in the decision of his conscience.
When the executioner offered to blindfold him, More said that he would do this himself. But after he had stretched his head over the low block—it was merely a log of wood—he made a signal to the man to wait a moment. Then he made his last joke: His beard was lying on the block and he would like to remove it. At least that had committed no treason. The heavy axe went slowly up, hung a moment in the air and fell.

I recently installed the iPhone 2.0 Toolchain from Cydia (BigBoss's) and since I have Windows and don't know how to set up the toolchain on it, I've just been compiling my apps on the iPhone. But I'm wondering where exactly the headers in include/var come from. Are they from Apple's iPhone SDK? Or did someone create them?
Just curious if anyone knows the answer.
