One of the things that I look forward to most during the month is the arrival of my iPsy bag. iPsy is a monthly beauty subscription service that costs $10 a month and usually includes four to five deluxe/full-size samples of makeup, hair care, skin care, etc. If you are interesting in learning more information about the company, you can check out this previous blog post or the official website.
Let's begin!
The theme of this month's bag is "Beauty Schooled." I for one was tremendously looking forward to this bag (because who doesn't want new beauty products to ease the pain of returning back to the daily grind at school after a long summer break?). However, once I received the bag, that excitement faded. I've been a subscriber to iPsy for about five months now, and this is the first bag that I've been disappointed with, so I guess that's not bad for a track record. The thing that annoys me more than receiving meh products, though, is how terrible the shipping has been lately. They seem to like toggling with extremes. For the first couple of months, I would receive the email notifying me that my bag has shipped, and then my bag would literally arrive the next day. For these past two months, I received the shipping notice, and then my bag would not arrive for another week and a half. My bag this month sat in a DHL facility in Kentucky for five days before being shipped out. Especially during the summer, I think that creates a melting hazard for certain products. It's not that I don't like waiting a few days for shipping, I just wish they would find a method that is consistent and reliable so I'm not wondering whether my bag is actually ever going to get to me.
The bag itself is very adorable! It's a plastic polka-dot pencil case which I plan to use when I go back to school (which is Monday. Insert the Cher-hates-everything reaction here).
This month I received five products in my bag. The first one is the Lord & Berry Silk Mini Kajal Kohl-Liner in #1001 Black. This is a pretty small sample for an eyeliner, at least half of the size of the Urban Decay samples that other iPsy subscribers received. This makes it difficult for application, especially for people like yours truly who isn't an eyeliner wizard to begin with. I tried to do a size comparison in the photo above so you can see how small it really is. It would have been nice to a larger sample.
The product itself was very nice, however, which makes up a bit for the sizing. This is one swipe of the liner, and it's extremely pigmented/creamy. I really like creamy eyeliners because they are easier to apply. However, this is a fussy liner for smudging. I waited five minutes before trying to smudge the liner swatch on my hand, and within a couple of swipes, it was a mess. If you have a tendency to have liner smudge/run on you, this probably isn't a great choice.
The brand Lord & Berry seems very difficult to get ahold of in the United States, which leads me to question why they would even choose them in the first place. You can view all of their products on their main website, but the actual online store is closed indefinitely for reimaging. The only other place I was able to find it was asos.com. According to asos, a full-sized product would run you $19.35. By my estimations (because there is no quantity of product listed on the sample), I'm going to say I received about a third of a full-size. That would make this sample worth about $6.45.
The next product I received in my bag was the Paula's Choice Clear Ultra-Light Daily Mattifying Fluid. This is a moisturizer + spf product that also has acne-clearing qualities. To be honest, I haven't really tried this one out fully. The product leaks out of the squeeze tube and collects in the cap, which I think wastes a lot of it. This is a pretty large sample, which I really like for skin care. It can take multiple tries of a product before you really know how it reacts with your skin, so I appreciate that. I tried this once and was neither wowed nor appalled, so I will give this a few more tries before I make any assumptions. A full-size (2 fl oz.) will run you $27.00. This sample size (.5 fl oz.) is worth $6.75.
The next product in my bag was the Urban Decay Perversion mascara. This sample size is a standard mascara sample that you would expect to find as a Sephora freebie, counter sample, etc. I have to say, I really love the packaging. It's a sleek gunmetal case with lavender text and it looks very sophisticated. The mascara is in black and it is not waterproof. I think this is just a meh product for me. I tried the mascara out a couple of times, and I think the formula is just alright. I really prefer drugstore mascaras over anything high-end because I feel like the quality is much better (along with the price). I prefer a lengthening mascara and I did not find much of that with Perversion. The brush is nice, but the formula is average. It is also a drier mascara, so this might not be up your alley if you are picky about that. A full-size (.40 oz. and also includes a primer sample) is $22.00 at Sephora. This sample (.10 oz.) is worth $5.50.
The next product I received in my bag was a duo of Coastal Scents Forever Blush in Fresh, a peachy nude, and Elegant, a pale pink with shimmer. Honestly, I don't know why they bothered with this product. The blushes themselves are lovely. They're pigmented and they wear pretty well, but the sample size is just crazy. It's so tiny that the only brush I have that is able to fit in the pan is an eyeshadow brush. If you try to use a blush brush with this product, you are going to pick up both colors. I would have much rather iPsy given a larger sample of one of the blush colors rather than a small pan of each. The products are also housed in a pretty flimsy plastic casing. While I think this product has potential, I know I'm never going to end up reaching for it because of how difficult it is to apply given its size. A full size of one blush (.28 oz.) is $7.95. This sample (.09 oz.) is worth $2.55.
The last product I received is by far my favorite of the bunch. It is the Jersey Shore Sun Mongongo Natural Dense Anti-Aging Lip Conditioner. This is basically your average lip balm, but there are a couple special things that I love about it. One: the smell is AMAZING. The flavor is Mandarin Green Orange Ginger and I have no idea what that actually is. But it smells like a lime, which is very refreshing. Two: all of the ingredients are USDA Certified organic. I always love a lip product that has decent ingredients because you basically end up eating your lip balm, gloss, etc. throughout the day as it wears off. So the less chemicals I ingest from that is probably for the better. Three: cruelty-free! No animal testing. I also really like the packaging of this, it looks like something that would be sold at the Rainforest Café. All in all, this is a product I will definitely be throwing into my bag for school because there is no such thing as too many lip balms. This is a full-size product and it retails for $5.50.
Total iPsy Bag Value: $26.75, which is definitely my lowest bag value to date.
Did you receive an iPsy bag this month? If so, what did you think about your products and do you have trouble with the shipping? I will be looking forward to next month's bag to see whether or not the shipping/sample sizes rebound.
As always, thanks for reading and have a great week!

Today I would like to write about Gemba – another concept in Lean Management, which can easily be applied to a broader context. Literally, the Japanese term Gemba translates to the actual place. In a production environment, this usually refers to the shop floor. Here, the idea is that problems can best be solved by the people working in the process concerned. More specifically, this means that shop floor workers rather than external consultants or the management should address issues on the shop floor.
However, I firmly believe that this concept can also be applied much more broadly. One case that stuck with me appears in the book Doughnut Economics by Kate Raworth: In chapter 5 ("Design to Distribute"), she mentions an example of irrigation schemes for Nepalese rice paddies. A study compared state-run irrigation systems with systems set up by the farmers themselves. Interestingly, it found that although the farmers' systems were much simpler than the ones set up by the state, they were kept in better repair, distributed water more fairly and were more efficient.
If you think about it, it becomes quite clear why the results turned out as they did: Of course the rice farmers have worked in these rice paddies for years or even decades. With their experience, it is much easier for them to design an efficient irrigation system. Also, we shouldn't neglect the influence of the community: Within a group, people will immediately recognize free riders or members who try to jeopardize the group efforts. At the same time, the group will know who needs support e. g. in case of force majeure or issues in the private realm.
This idea of Gemba – letting the people working in the area concerned come up with the solutions – can be applied to a large variety of fields. As a starting point, organizations should give sufficient authority to employees setting up a new or improved process – without management altering the results afterward. Within a broader context, this would lead to entirely new forms of organizations. One approach is to have companies being co-owned by the workers, giving them both the power and money resulting from their work – rather than mostly rewarding investors (who had no part in the work).
In Lean Management, this idea of Gemba is usually connected to some form of knowledge sharing. Although the workers know their process best, their limited view might narrow their potential for improvement. However, if there is a regular exchange with other groups dealing with similar problems, they may learn from each other and improve significantly. This idea also works on a global scale: The internet allows us to learn from each other across industries and country borders.
Work locally – share knowledge globally
By the way, in a decentralized world, there is much less need for traveling. There is less need to "control" people on site and knowledge can often be shared virtually. This benefits the environment and increases the time those traveling can spend thinking about more important things. That's another advantage of giving more authority to local communities and departments!

A Stunning TESTMATCH at ACT's Strand Theater.
Testmatch: Drama by Kate Attwell. Directed by Pam MacKinnon. American Conservatory Theatre, The Strand Theater, 1127 Market Street, San Francisco, CA. 415-749-2228 or www.act-sf.org. October 24–December 8, 2019.
A Stunning TESTMATCH at ACT's Strand Theater. Rating: 1/2
If you go, and you should, to see the world premiere of Kate Attwell's Testmatch that is receiving a stunning but problematic staging at the Strand Theater bring along your thinking cap. The multiplicity of topics explored will send your mind reeling and like Cheryl Churchill's Cloud Nine there is a gap of at least a century between the two acts. Whereas the first act is a dynamic realistic interplay of six women cricketers the second act jumps back at least 100 years becoming parody, gender bending with outlandish costumes and stylized acting to emphasize the economic raping of India when it was a colony of England and "ruled" by the British East India (EIC).
Part I: The present: A player's lounge at Lord's Cricket Ground, London. It is the woman's World Cup cricket match between Britain and India and India is leading. There has been a rain delay and six characters take refuge in the locker room. They are the captains and two of their players from each of the teams listed only as England 1(Madeline Wise), 2 (Arwen Anderson), 3 (Millie Brooks) and India 1 (Meera Rohit Kumbhani), 2 (Lipica Shah) and 3 (Avanthika Srinivasan).
The conversation is wide ranging with the most significant being England 2's comment that India would not have cricket if Britain had not brought it there. India 1 vehemently responds that is not the only thing they brought and Attwell waits until the second act to outline the horror of what the EIC brought to India. Before that happens the interchange between the characters is wide ranging. There is the dichotomy of pay differential between women and men teams, implied and almost spoken racism, the cheating that goes on in sports, the inequality of endorsement stipends and even whether Rugby players are better partners than cricketers for sex.
The physical and conversational interaction between each actor gives solid definition of the characters they represent and director MacKinnon keeps them in balance. You will not forget the sudden outburst that is never explained when England 1 goes on a rampage smashing her bat and leaving the locker room. That fury may invest the audience when they learn "what else Britain has brought to India."
The locker room scene abruptly ends with flashing and colored lights (Marie Yokoyama) and the scene changes to "Outdoors at The Fort, an East Indian Company outpost in Calcutta, India." The time is "Around 1749, perhaps 1800." Arwen Anderson and Millie Brooks (formerly England 2 and 3) change costume on stage becoming "One" and "Two" Lord's Cricket Club members and EIC officers. Those costumes (Beaver Bauer) are all white, well-padded in the front, with powdered wigs making them look like characters escaped from "Alice in Wonder Land" ready to perform as clowns.
The language is highly stylized as these two clowns are codifying the rules of cricket while loading their coffers with ill-gained funds before leaving for England. The Sepoy (Lipica Shah) is taking notes. A young Indian girl Daayna (Avanthika Srinivasan) who has superior cricket skills climbs over the wall to display her skills. She is the unacknowledged daughter of Two. The buffoons are shocked that a woman would seek to play the male sport of cricket.
The real coup de grace to the evening is the entrance of Messenger (Meera Rohit Kumbhan) from the country side who describes the famine caused by the EID's usurping the rice fields to grow "poppies and indigo" creating a cash crop. Any humor that is earned by the bumbling One and Two rapidly dissipates. There is a dramatic ending initiated by Daayna that is perfectly directed suggesting One has gotten his comeuppance.
This world premiere gives the impression of a work in progress but has all the earmarks of a playwright who will become a power in the field of drama. Running time is about 90 minutes without intermission and earns a solid "should see."
CAST: England 2, One, Arwen Anderson; England 3, Two, Millie Brooks; India 1, Messenger, Meera Rohit Kumbhani; India 2, Abhi, Lipica Shah; India 3, Daanya, Avanthika Srinivasan; England 1, Memsahib Madeline Wise.

Many years ago, Teresa Smith met a "hippie" who sold her a bottle of Lavender essential oil, saying it would help relieve her stress.
Teresa had always loved the natural world, and decided to give the Lavender essential oil a try.
It worked!
That experience started Teresa on a journey, and she earned her Aromatherapy Certification with Aromahead Institute in 2012.
She learned that essential oils can support us in so many therapeutic ways—from calming inflammation, preventing infection, relieving headaches, and offering more mental focus.But the aspect of Aromatherapy that deeply inspired Teresa was the oils' ability to support people going through end-of-life transitions and grief.
She began volunteering with a local hospice, using her in-depth knowledge of essential oils to support clients and their families.
End-of-life transitions can be some of the most difficult times many people will ever experience. They are hard for people who are passing, and for those who love them. Everyone involved needs support. Teresa helps people use essential oils as though they were friends, choosing the ideal oils for them to feel comforted, encouraged, calm, and uplifted through the process of transition and grieving. She works with both adults and children.
Helping children through grief is a special calling. Kids may not be able to understand or talk about the big feelings they are experiencing.
As Teresa points out, "Children process grief in different ways than adults. Many times their grieving process is not outwardly recognizable, but manifests inwardly. Essential oils are such a balm to grief-related symptoms that a child cannot always identify."
The work itself is rewarding, but it's especially nice for Teresa when a child really seems to love the essential oils.
On one occasion, Teresa guided a group of children through making Aromatherapy inhalers. A few weeks later, an 8-year-old girl from the group excitedly told Teresa that she was still using her inhaler.
It is always fulfilling to be able to help a child!
Teresa runs Blue Heron Aromatherapy, using only the highest-quality organic ingredients, and continues her work with essential oils.
I am so inspired by the way she is able to use Aromatherapy to help people back to themselves during the process of grief. That is truly a gift!
She has a beautiful perspective on the oils—and the Aromatherapy community—that I would like to share with you.
"I don't know if we are who we are before our relationships with the oils, or if the oils make us into who we are, but I do know the Aromatherapy community is made up of the most giving and helpful individuals. The Aromahead Institute, Andrea Butje, and so many of the people I've met through the professional associations and conferences have amazed me by their willingness to share information and help each other advance. I am so thankful to be a part of this community."
And we are so thankful to have you, Teresa!
If you are interested in learning about the Aromatherapy Certification Program that helped Teresa develop the knowledge to guide others through grief, click here.
There are so many ways that essential oils can support us—you never know if one particular aspect of Aromatherapy is going to touch your soul and call to you. Education can help bring that out, so you can share your unique gifts with the world.

City Council President Herb Wesson has received the backing of the L.A. County Democratic Party in his campaign to win a hotly contested seat on the Board of Supervisors.
On Sunday, party officials tossed out a challenge to its original endorsement last month, saying Wesson's opponent, former L.A. City Council member Jan Perry "did not meet the burden of proof" required to rescind the decision.
"Our job is to keep the party transparent, accountable and operating," party Chair Mark Gonzalez said in a statement. "I'm proud of our team for working with integrity and providing the committee and campaigns with all the necessary information to conclude this process."

Garden club members
bustle around the green house,
assisting children entering
daffodils by explaining
divisions, classifications

They pour through notebooks,
text books and bulb catalogs. Mrs.

the name of a peachy double
she's uncertain of; division

Mrs. Malavase shows
Skye how to clock her
entries by gently
turning the stem until
the verticals petals

They beam their passion while
instructing her on staging; using
boxwood sprigs and scissors
to support daffodils
in their most favorable pose.
They spritz and coo
give tips and compliments
encourage and straighten
deftly preparing
those daffodils until they show
their best selves to the world.
I strongly suspect
they're gifted at raising children.

He already met with a JAG attorney! What do I do? If you're in the military (or your husband is), chances are you have a lot of faith in the military JAG attorneys. In general, military families use JAG attorneys for all sorts of legal issues, so it makes sense that one of the first place you'd think of going when you make the decision to end your marriage is straight to the JAG attorney's office. After all, you want someone who understands the whole military thing, right? And military divorce … [Read more...]
Dealing with narcissism in your Virginia divorce
Dealing with narcissism in your Virginia divorce Narcissistic husbands are tricky. (And trust me, you're nowhere near the only one dealing with issues stemming from a marriage with a narcissist!) But recognizing your husband's condition is so helpful, even though it might not feel that way to you right this minute. Knowing how he operates, how he makes you feel, and how he thinks, can give you a real edge in your divorce or custody case. What does a narcissist do? Narcissists make their … [Read more...]
Divorce Virginia Seminars
Divorce isn't easy. And, if you've never been divorced before (or even if you have), there's probably a lot you don't know. That's not your fault. There's a lot to know, and the law is constantly changing. Besides that, it's very state specific, so even what you know from your friend's divorces doesn't necessarily translate to yours, in the here and now in Virginia. Besides, there are steps you can take now so that you can educate yourself, and make sure you know what you need to know about the … [Read more...]
Making the decision to divorce
Divorce is a big decision, and it's not one that anyone undertakes lightly. No matter who you are or where you came from, you're not making this decision easily. In fact, you probably haven't even made any type of decisions for sure at this point. If you're like most women, at this point, you're simply gathering information in an attempt to protect yourself. I get the impression that a lot of people feel like getting divorce information is like opening Pandora's Box. Or, at least, coming in … [Read more...]
Veteran's Day Specials for Divorcing Military Wives
It's not easy to be a military spouse. Between deployments and workups and irregular hours (not to mention the fact that you could literally be sent almost anyplace in the world – and sometimes the service member gets unaccompanied orders – and have no say in the matter), it's one thing after another. For the spouse, keeping the family together is a difficult, time-consuming job. For many military spouses, it's not really all that possible to work. Between all the frequent moves and the … [Read more...]
Veteran's Day Specials 2017
Here in Hampton Roads, the military presence is everywhere. From bumper stickers proclaiming "I LOVE JET NOISE" to various deployments and homecomings, we see military all day, every day, everywhere. It's something we're proud of, and something that gives us a sense of regional identity. We see uniformed active duty service members sitting in restaurants, pumping gas at the service station, and alongside us pushing their grocery carts. We know, probably better than most places in the US, … [Read more...]
Saving Money on Your Virginia Divorce
In a divorce, or for women facing a divorce, the potential cost is one of the scariest parts. People tell me literally every single day that they're afraid they can't afford to get a divorce. I won't lie to you and tell you that divorce is inexpensive. I won't tell you that I haven't seen very, very expensive divorces. But I also won't tell you that you don't have any control over the cost of your divorce because, ultimately, you do. …Wait, what? You have control over the costs in your … [Read more...]
Just had a baby — now divorce?
If ever there was a bad time to be thinking that your marriage is on the rocks, it's right after you've delivered a baby. Add to your level of stress (you know, related to delivery, recovery, post partum, the realities of raising a baby) with the fact that you may or may not be able to make your marriage work the way you always planned, and you're feeling more than a little overwhelmed. If ever there was a bad time to be thinking that your marriage is on the rocks, it's right after you've … [Read more...]
Can someone sit in on my consultation with me?
Yesterday, I got a call from a very grouchy man. It's not too often I have calls from men, since we represent women only, and we can't schedule appointments for any men at all. This man, though, was angry because he was calling to pay for a consultation with one of our attorneys for his friend, and he wanted to be allowed to sit in. Our receptionist tried to explain but was ultimately unsuccessful, so I had to step in. "We'll have to get her permission first," I told him, re-emphasizing what our … [Read more...]
I'm not ready to pay for a consultation with a Virginia divorce attorney
Even though most family law attorneys in our area charge a consultation fee (in fact, when I say most, I mean virtually all), there are still lots of women out there who are a little bit uncomfortable with that. Though I understand both sides here, and know that there are lots of reasons why family law attorneys in our area charge a consultation fee, I also get why a woman who is in a state of crisis would think twice about paying several hundred dollars just to talk to someone about her … [Read more...]

Rea Spa is closed due COVID-19 until May 30th 2020. All scheduled clients will be rescheduled for next available dates. We will be confirming existing clients over the phone to reschedule. All new clients can schedule your next appointment after June 1st 2020 online or over the phone.
All skin care products are available for free shipping over $99 or Home delivery.
Hydro Dermabrasion is a crystal free method to the microdermabrasion process.
It is the latest renovation in skincare technology. Utilizing water jets, the outer layer of the skin will be broken up. This will reveal a smoother, more even texture of the skin. It is perfect for those that want to exfoliate the skin but have extremely sensitive skin. This procedure is gentle and very relaxing, with no discomfort felt. Skin will be slightly pink after treatment, but will subside quickly thereafter. Hydro dermabrasion is used on all skin types, and will help aging skin, skin that is congested, blemished skin, or dull and discolored skin. Oily skin can benefit to make it less greasy, and pores can be shrunk. Mild acne scars can be reduced, and fine lines can be decreased. Puffy eyes have also been treated using hydro dermabrasion. There will also be an increase in circulation and lymph flow. Skin will see results immediately after the procedure. Skin will be soft and feel hydrated.
Add Glycolic peel $10
Add 20 minute led light therapy $20
Why should one pick this type of treatment? Well, this procedure has longer lasting results than the typical microdermabrasion. Water fully moisturizes the new layer of skin that is forming under the dead skin cells. This means that there will be less swelling and redness. This is the perfect treatment to do before a big event, such as a wedding, anniversary party or more!
Not convinced if hydro dermabrasion is for you? There are many other impressive results as well. Many do not realize this, but with hydro dermabrasion, one can remove years of built up skin that is on the face, which will smooth rough skin. And blackheads and whiteheads can be reduced when using the hydro dermabrasion procedure. As an added benefit, hydro dermabrasion will allow the skin to better absorb skin care products, which will make them much more effective.
One may opt to get one treatment done, or a series of sessions can be done to create optimal results. A one-time treatment is perfect for those that want to rejuvenate the skin. More treatments will be needed for eliminating fine lines and wrinkles. It is recommended to do 3 to 6 sessions that have been scheduled 3 to 4 weeks apart.
After hydro dermabrasion, you will want to baby the skin with sunscreen to protect it. Use at least an SPF of 30, and try to avoid the sun's rays if at all possible. Further protect yourself by wearing a wide brimmed hat and sunglasses.
Before having hydro dermabrasion done, consult your professional skin therapist. Those who have been treated with accutane for severe acne within the past 12 months will not be eligible for this procedure, nor will those with active skin infections, such as herpes or cold sores. Those who have a history of skin not healing properly are also not suitable for this treatment.

News from The Globe and Mail
The debilitating credit crisis has knocked the U.S. from its perch as the supreme economic power. The climb back up will be steep
00:00 EDT Saturday, October 04, 2008
OTTAWA -- Before U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson was pressed into becoming the fire chief of the financial crisis, he had a good thing going as an economic missionary.
Basking in what he liked to call "the strongest global economy" of his business lifetime, Mr. Paulson, who joined President George W. Bush's administration in June, 2006, embraced with zeal an aspect of his new job with roots in Cold War diplomacy.
In his two years as Treasury Secretary before financial markets came totally unhinged this summer, Mr. Paulson conducted more official business in China than he did in New York. He has visited as many cities in Latin America as he has cities in the United States of America. He rolled through Calcutta, New Delhi and Mumbai in three days in October, 2007; two weeks later, he spent five days in Africa.
The places changed, but the message stayed the same: American-style banking, unencumbered by regulation and open to U.S. financial institutions, is the surest way to create wealth.
"An open, competitive and liberalized financial market can effectively allocate scarce resources in a manner that promotes stability and prosperity far better than government intervention," Mr. Paulson told an auditorium full of officials in Shanghai in March, 2007.
Mr. Paulson's brand of capitalism isn't promoting much stability these days, and prosperity isn't a word that jumps to mind as policy makers from Canada to Japan to France scramble to avert a global economic recession.
The Made in America financial crisis has seriously undermined the U.S.'s standing as the undisputed leader of the international economy, posing the first serious threat to U.S. hegemony since the height of the Soviet Union.
After decades of strong-arming governments in Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe to keep the state out of the economy, the U.S. government in September put up $285-billion (U.S.) to nationalize mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and insurer American International Group Inc.
That's nothing compared with the $700-billion Mr. Paulson got from Congress yesterday to purge the financial system of the bad debt at the root of the credit crisis. With governments saving failing banks in Europe, stock markets plunging in China and exports slowing in Brazil, the world is in no mood to take economic lessons from the U.S. government.
"There is a real element of anger and frustration around the planet that this is a U.S.-originated problem with global repercussions," John Manley, a finance and foreign affairs minister under former prime minister Jean Chrétien, said in an interview. "The world will be looking for a loss of hubris from the United States as a result of this."
America has dominated global economic affairs virtually unopposed since the collapse of the Berlin Wall, an era marked by the acceleration of global free-trade agreements, the confirmation of the dollar as the world's de facto currency, and the rise of Wall Street as the world's financial centre.
The U.S. and Britain dictated the Bretton Woods agreement in 1944, establishing the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. The U.S. became the largest shareholder in the global institutions, which built their headquarters side by side in Washington. Unsurprisingly, the American vision of private ownership and unfettered markets dominated the prescriptions those agencies imposed on weaker economies in return for financial aid. That culminated in the Washington Consensus, a term coined in the 80s to encompass policies such as privatization, lower taxes and deregulation.
These days, countries can't distance themselves fast enough from the Washington way of economic management.
"The world is on the edge of the abyss because of an irresponsible system," French Prime Minister François Fillon said on the eve of a gathering of European Union leaders to discuss the financial turmoil.
German Finance Minister Peer Steinbrueck predicted the end of the U.S.'s status as the "superpower of the global financial system." Chinese officials are rethinking their embrace of globalization, and Colombian President Alvaro Uribe said the U.S. must ensure the situation doesn't get any worse.
"The Anglo-American model has suffered a big setback," John Snow, who preceded Mr. Paulson as treasury secretary and is now chairman of private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management, said in an interview. "We don't have the moral authority we might have had a few years ago to get others to follow our model."
Other nations appear ready to assume a more assertive role in the global economy.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy, current President of the European Union, wants to host a summit of the world's major economies next month to consider global rules for financial markets. Germany's Mr. Steinbrueck, whose push for stricter oversight of hedge funds and private equity firms last year was blocked by Mr. Paulson, will be a ready ally.
"The whole spectrum of options for regulation is now open again," said Glen Hodgson, chief economist at the Conference Board of Canada and an IMF official. "You only have moral authority when you have your own house in order."
A new era of global financial regulation - however appropriate given the serious gaps exposed by the credit crunch - will increase costs for businesses and slow global economic growth.
Say what you will about U.S.-style capitalism, its ability to produce wealth is unchallenged. The world economy expanded at an average annual rate of 3.9 per cent over the past decade, as more emerging market nations embraced free-market ideals. Over the previous 10 years, global growth averaged 3.5 per cent.
There's a risk that countries such as China and India could become more reluctant to ease barriers to international investors, especially in the financial sector.
"It's a possibility that you see countries become more protectionist," said Mr. Manley, who is now a senior counsel at law firm McCarthy Tétrault LLP. "That's going to slow growth."
There's an element of schadenfreude in the world's criticism of the U.S. government's role in the financial meltdown.
After all, nobody likes a bully, which is essentially the approach American officials have taken to international negotiations for decades, said John Curtis, a former chief economist at Canada's Trade Department. "They can be insensitive at times to others' interests," said Mr. Curtis, who is now a distinguished fellow at the Waterloo, Ont.-based Centre for International Governance Innovation.
Still, Mr. Curtis and others said it would be a mistake to get carried away with the idea that we're witnessing the death of the American empire.
The U.S. hardly has a monopoly on economic crises, and the German and French governments, among others, have had to put up billions of their own to save several European banks from collapse, which has muted their criticisms of the U.S.
"I don't think any country is in position to say they have the right regulatory system," said James Barth, a senior fellow at the Sana Monica, Calif.-based Milken Institute and a former chief economist at the U.S. Office of Thrift Supervision. "One has to be careful to say the U.S. has a terrible financial system and that capitalism doesn't work because of this particular situation."
One reason the U.S. can't be counted out is that Americans are used to such calamities.
Mr. Paulson would often tell his audiences that the U.S. copes with a financial crisis every decade or so because the country's entrepreneurs get too greedy and overreach. The cleanup is wrenching, but the country's economy is left stronger as a result, Mr. Paulson argued. The country's rebound from the collapse of the dot.com bubble is perhaps the most recent example of Mr. Paulson's creative destruction thesis.
There's also the sheer size of the U.S. economy. The spread of the Wall Street crisis to other continents is a graphic example of how much the rest of the world still depends on America for their economic growth. The U.S.'s gross domestic product is three times the size of that of Japan, the world's second biggest economy, and is four times the size of China's.
The U.S. dollar still makes up more than 60 per cent of the world's currency reserves, according to IMF data.
"They are so big, you can't get along without them," said Mr. Curtis, who also served at the IMF. "They are pre-eminent, they are no longer dominant."
The U.S.'s standing in the world of global finance may well be determined by the outcome of Mr. Paulson's $700-billion rescue package.
Observers marvel at the speed with which Mr. Paulson and U.S. Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke developed the plan after earlier efforts failed to reverse the credit squeeze. It took years to sort out the mess created by the defaults of Argentina and Brazil.
If the U.S. can save its banks faster than the Europeans save theirs, Mr. Paulson will restore some of his department's reputation abroad, said Daniel Drezner, a political science professor at Medford, Mass.-based Tufts University and a former Treasury Department economist.
But gone are the days when a U.S. treasury secretary will automatically be seen as the smartest guy in the room.
"It's tough to tell other countries you should privatize and liberalize when you are going the other way," Mr. Drezner said. "The Washington consensus is dead."

Overview of Gift Certificates in MyPMS
MyPMS gives you the ability to sell, redeem and track Gift Certificates by transaction, not by Booking or Guest. What this means is that gift certificates can be tracked by date sold or redeemed, by Folio # or Name in Transactions Reports, but they will not be attached to a specific guest or tracked in an accounts payable account. If you need further tracking, more details, a flag for expiration dates, tracking by Guest, etc., then we recommended incorporating the transaction details from MyPMS into an additional tracking method such as an excel spreadsheet. See Manage Gift Certificates
A Gift Certificate is an Inventory Item which can be sold in a folio using "Add Charge". See Gift Certificates | Setup
When a Gift Certificate is sold, the charge is recorded and paid for using the chosen payment method, ie. cash, credit card, etc. in a House Account Folio. See Gift Certificates | Sell. There are two ways to use the House Accounts for Gift Certificates. See Gift Certificates | House Accounts
When a Gift Certificate is redeemed, it is applied as a payment to a guest folio using payment type "Gift Certificate Redeemed". See Gift Certificates | Redeem
Since the two transactions (Sold and Redeemed) are recorded in different folios and on different dates, the best way to "match"a Gift Certificate to sold and when it is redeemed is to use the transaction description record details like purchaser name, folio #, gift certificate #, expiry dates, etc.. If you already have a Gift Certificate system set up and have tracking #, then you can use these in the transaction description. Gift Certificates | Getting Started
To track the sale and redemption of Gift Certificates, see Gift Certificates | Reports

JETBLUE HATES ME - 109,291 views
This video was brought to my attention by the Daily Dot, though sadly I've long known about Matthew Lush, a.k.a. Gay God. He reigns not exactly supreme, but pretty high on the hog, in a certain corner of gay YouTube. His domain is not quite the Davey Wavey arena, nor is it the Mark E. Miller realm. And in some ways it's the furthest thing from someone like Troye Sivan. But it's sort of a little bit of all of those. Except not. I'm stalling on defining Lush's exact category right now because I am struggling to come up with a delicate way to say "trashy," but am drawing a blank. Basically Matthew Lush trades on the fact that he has a young, cute boyfriend (Nickalaws is his YouTube name, I believe), and most of his videos involve the couple doing something inane, usually posted with a suggestive thumbnail image. Very often they are kissing in the thumbnails. That feeds into a whole "gay boys kissing" sub-sub-genre on YouTube that is too seedy and sad to discuss in the digital pages of a venerable publication like this one, so I won't bother to go into it. But it's out there if you want to find it. ANYWAY, in this video, Matthew Lush talks about the fact that he is banned from JetBlue for tweeting about one of their employees in such a way that had Lush's fans sending threats to the employee. Not good! But, of course, Lush plays the innocent, because these YouTubers want to have fame and influence, but then don't really like it when that fame and influence—which mostly translates into loosely commanding an unwieldy army of insane teenagers—has a negative effect on the rest of the world and they are asked to deal with the consequences. But the fact is, he did do an ugly thing, and this is an ugly video in which he does not in any way apologize for doing that thing. Read the Daily Dot article for more context. I've had enough of Matthew Lush!
CHRONICLES OF NARNIA TURKISH DELIGHTS - NERDY NUMMIES - 436,889 views
Speaking of YouTubers you probably didn't want to know about, this is Rosanna Pansino, who makes sci-fi/fantasy/video game/etc.–themed desserts and other foods. Y'know, nerd stuff. Hence the name. Of course, Pansino is not really a nerd, or at least she's a "nerd" who has millions of YouTube subscribers and was part of a major YouTube ad campaign that had her face plastered all over the Union Square subway station and elsewhere in New York City. Can that person, by definition, be a nerd? I guess there are some famous nerds, but very few. Was Steve Jobs a nerd? Maybe. But most nerds, once they become famous, turn into dorks, which is an entirely different thing. It's definitely a worse thing than being a nerd, so I don't think Pansino will start making Dorky Delicacies or anything any time soon. It'll be Nerdy Nummies probably forever. At least until she runs out of things to reference with her fondant-covered sugar cakes. Or until this old planet of ours finally stops creaking on its rusty axis and we're all released into the silent mercy of space.

This city of beautiful buildings also has many generous and inviting green spaces. With so many it's impossible to list them all, here are the parks that you definitely mustn't miss while studying at the University of New York in Prague.
Everything you need from an inner-city park. Vinohrady's Riegrovy Sady has spectacular castle views, room to throw a frisbee, shady areas for chilling out on a picnic blanket and is home to cafes and one of the biggest beer gardens in Prague, complete with projector screen for outdoor sports viewing.
A charming, manicured park in Vršovice, Havlíčkovy Sady is the second largest park in the city, and even has its own vineyard! Perfect for picnics and sunny strolls, the park's cafe is housed in the restored 19th century Pavilon Grébovka, which originally served as a casino and bowling attraction.
Across the bridge in the charming Letná neighborhood, Letenské Sady offers views of Old Town and beyond. In summer grab lunch in the shady beer garden and then catch an event at Stalin, the café and event space under the giant metronome, named for the monument that watched over the area until 1962.
Prague's answer to Central Park, Stromovka was established in 1268 as a royal hunting park. Its 104 hectares are covered in grassy areas, smooth wide paths for rollerblading, horse trails and lakes. A short walk from the zoo (and the zoo ferry!) and Troja's beautiful botanical gardens, the area is popular with dog walking locals and renting a BBQ from the Grill Park on a Summer day is a must-do.
Covered with winding walkways Petřín's steep, sloping park connects Malá Strana with the castle grounds. Once the site of the castle's vineyards, now Petrin is famous for its springtime show of cherry blossoms. Hike (or ride the funicular railway) to the top to see the rose garden and get lost in 'Bludiště' - the mirror maze. Once back down in Malá Strana be sure to visit some of the traditional pubs in the area for some hearty Czech cuisine.

|Behind the scenes at politicians' salons, talks about what the coming days will imply on events in Syria are on top of conversations. However, analyses are various and scenarios are multiple.
Some argue that the situation in Syria will continue until the regime and the army exhausted and weakened, while others talk about other features of civil war unfolded in the almost daily security incidents in Syria.
Apart from the two analyses, a significant talk is going on about a compromise in the kitchens of international politics, having the regime coherence and the people support of the army frustrated efforts to drain Syria and drag it into civil war.
The information of this compromise depends upon what some dailies have posted regarding a Russian demand to achieve a quick and comprehensive settlement in favor of regular Syrian forces, in order to rearrange cards in favor of the Russians in any negotiations with the Americans. But has Syria decided its options yet?
Russia's desire to achieve a comprehensive and fast military victory is certain according to the strategic researcher Dr. Salim Harba, who showed at the same time that the fight against terrorism and undermining it do not require a Russian decision, but are mainly based on the popular and official Syrian conviction and will.
During an interview with Al-Manar website, Harba confirmed that armed groups in Syria are receiving painful blows today, where the decisive settlement has started and will never stop, stressing "there is a Syrian decision on a comprehensive settlement that goes in parallel with the desire of Russia and China, after the efforts exerted by hostile parties to find a pretext for military intervention and transferring observers into international armed forces."
Harba also asserted that fighting against terrorist groups in Syria was a popular demand ahead of the government's position after the failure of the outstretched hand policy to drag others to the national dialogue. He recalled the rationality Syria has dealt with throughout events, when it issued amnesty for militants, agreed on the Arab League and Arab mission initiative, and later applied the plan of UN envoy Kofi Annan, while welcoming the international observers on its territories.
Members of "Blackwater" in Lebanon, Turkey and Syria
Harba told Al-Manar website that the Syrian obligations had not been met with any positive attitude of the parties opposed to the regime in Syria.
Pointing at the armed groups in Syria, the Syrian analyst noted that the protocol signed between the Syrian government and the United Nations to organize the mission of observers prohibits every civilian in Syria to hold, use, tour with or show weapons, except under the authority of the state.
During the interview, Harba went on to say that terrorism in Syria was not confined to local armed groups, pointing at the entry of foreign elements.
In his speech, He recalled what Al-Manar website has previously revealed about the involvement of "Blackwater" in the security incidents of Syria, unfolding this time that members of the American organization involved in security operations and murders are active at the Syrian border, especially in northern Lebanon and Turkey.
Harba continued that members of the security organization have trained militants and sent them to Syria, and that a number of them have entered the Syrian territory to directly supervise the movements and operations of terrorist armed groups.
Insurgents the First Beneficiaries of the Presence of International Observers
Dr. Harba believed that freezing the task of observers in Syria came to pressure the Syrian regime and foil the Russian initiative in convening an international conference on Syria.
The task of observers has limited the Syrian regime when Assad respected the commitments made under the Annan plan and relied on Annan and the Security Council to curb terrorism and the regimes that sponsoring and funding it.
Harba said that events had shown that terrorist groups and their backers were the first beneficiaries of the deployment of observers in Syria, for they were found as a tactical maneuver to increase pressure on the Syrian regime and weaken and embarrass it internationally.
"Since the very beginning, those have sought to foil Annan's plan. Saud al-Faisal was sitting next to Annan when he called for a buffer zone a month after the task of the observers has begun. Hamad bin Jassem was first who announced that the plan has been succeeded by only 3% in order to re-demand the arming of Syrian opposition," he stated.
Harba also explained that Syria sees the buffer zone project and the protected security corridors as an aggression against the State to which it will not hesitate to respond, and which may roll over to drag the region into all-out war, according to Harba assessments.
In total, the Syrian strategic researcher believed "the United States is unable to engage in any military action in the region, without making any change in its efforts to increase pressure on the regime and wage by the threat of Chapter VII and military intervention to blackmail Assad regime and win the cards enabling it (the U.S.) to get out of any negotiations with the Russians with the more gains possible."
Dr. Salim Harba, however, suggested that in the coming days there will be no place except for the negotiations and efforts to find common ground between all the negotiators on the international arena. This in turns will re-activate the task of Kofi Annan as a ground on which any political solution to the crisis in Syria may depend on.

Rajkumar Hirani's Sanju is causing records to tumble at the box office. The Sanjay Dutt biopic that stars Ranbir Kapoor has crossed the Rs 100-crore mark in just three days. Sanju was released on June 29 across an estimated 4,000 screens, and has posted opening weekend figures of Rs 120.06 crores until Sunday evening, according to information provided by producers Rajkumar Hirani Films, Vinod Chopra Films and Fox Star Studios.
With its gargantuan early response, Sanju has shot to the top of the list of fastest Rs 100 crore earners. While the Salman Khan starrers Sultan (180.36 crores) and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (Rs 129.77 crores) are credited with posting the highest opening weekend, Sultan was released on a Wednesday (July 6, 2016) and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo released on a Thursday (November 12, 2015), which means that both productions had more days at their disposal.
In North America, Sanju earned $2,550,000 (Rs 17.5 crores) across 356 screens in the first weekend, reported analytics company comScore, which has been hired to track the movie's box office.
Sanju has become the seventh Hindi film of the year to have make more than Rs 100 crores. The other films are Padmaavat, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, Raid, Baaghi 2, Raazi and Race 3. The biopic's record-breaking success is further proof of director Rajkumar Hirani's astute understanding of what Hindi filmgoers want to watch and are willing to pay for. Hirani has never looked back since the massive success of his debut Munnabhai M.B.B.S in 2003. His comedy PK (2014) counts as the highest grossing Indian film of all time (international earnings included). If trade reports are to be believed, Sanju might surpass PK's domestic record.
Sanju's superlative showing is a massive boost for Ranbir Kapoor, whose last release Jagga Jasoos (2017) crashlanded. The 35-year-old actor's depiction of the key stages in the life of Sanjay Dutt, from addiction at a young age to imprisonment in his later years, has won widespread acclaim despite misgivings over Hirani's handling of the material.

AC 208-Written Assignment
Name: Seah Wei Ting Pauline
Matriculation card no: 080298K04
Seminar Group 4
Tutor: Prof. Marc Wang Han Ming
Word count: 1200 words
The issue in this case is whether the purchase of 0.2% of Good Build's shares by Seng Huat ("SH") has affected the deemed and actual interests of the directors and shareholders that would directly implicate the register of directors' shareholdings and register of substantial shareholders of Good Build ("GB").
In the following discussion, Low and Tan are not associates and apart from Low's children, no other directors have spouses or children with shareholding in SH or GB.
Register of substantial shareholders[1]
The following 2 sets of information are crucial in determining if Low can be deemed as a substantial shareholder under S81 (1) after satisfying the 20% rule in S7(4).
We need information to investigate if Low and Tan can be termed as associates under S7(5) such that both of them are deemed to have a total combined interest of more than 20% of the total voting shares in SH under S7(4A). If they are associates, Low and Tan will qualify to be substantial shareholders of GB through their ownership in SH.
In addition, we need to establish if there is an associate relationship between Low and his children under S7 (5) to observe if his children's interest can be deemed as Low's to contribute to his shareholding in SH, giving rise to a possibility that Low would have deemed interest in BG through SH under S7(4A).
i) Low Keng Huat
Taking a close look at the Low's interest in SH, we gathered that Low has a direct shareholding in SH of 18% because of S164(15), where his children's shareholding contributes to his interest in SH. However, the 18% shareholding in SH is unable to deem Low as a substantial shareholder[2] of GB even though SH has more than 5% total voting shares in GB. This is chiefly because the 18% does not meet the requirements of S74A in holding more than 20% shareholding to provide for Low's deemed interest in GB. As a result, the purchase of GB shares by SH will not involve Low's deemed interest primarily as it does not have a deemed interest to start with.
As we extend the relationship by including Low's direct interest of 23.86% in GB, he qualifies under S81(1), exceeding the stipulated 5%, making him a substantial shareholder of GB.
ii) Tan Hup Seng
Tan is a substantial shareholder under the sole assessment of deemed interest or actual shareholding even before SH purchases the shares in GB. Under S7(4A), he is a substantial shareholder of GB through the 5.04% deemed interest due to the 28% ownership of shares in SH, where he met the 20% shareholding requirement. Consequently, the 5.04% deemed interest also fulfill S81(1)[3] to deem Tan as a substantial shareholder under indirect interest.
After SH purchases 0.2% of GB shares, Tan experienced a change in deemed interest in GB to 5.24%. Tan will then be required to notify GB under S83(1)[4] regarding the percentage level of interest has changed.
For actual shareholding, Tan is certainly a substantial shareholder who owns 13.75% qualifying for S81 (1) in owning more than 5% of the total voting shares.
iii) Soh King Boon
Effectively, Soh is not affected by SH's purchase of 0.2% shares in GB since him nor his spouse or children have shares in SH[5]; thus, his shares in GB remain at 4.51% which does not qualify him as a substantial shareholder under S 81(1).
iv) Raffles Nominees Pte Ltd, DBS Nominees Pte Ltd, Citibank Nominees Singapore Pte Ltd
All 3 companies have more than 5% of the total voting shares in GB and hence they can all qualify as substantial shareholders under S81(1).
v) Seng Huat Pte Ltd
Previously, SH has been substantial shareholder in GB's register of substantial shareholders under S81(1) as it owned 5.04%. However, due to the increment in shareholding percentage...

While away on holiday I thought it would be prime time to read a book? And what better than keep up with the blogsphere and reading Zoe's new book Girl Online. The day after I bought it all the scandal came out about it being ghost written and so on and I will mention that later on. However ghost written or not, I loved this book so much. I don't read books very often at all, I just stick to blogs and magazines so for me to like a book enough to finish it and write a review is quite something.
My Facebook | Follow on Twitter | Follow on Bloglovin'
When I first started reading the book reviews on Girl Online I was a bit sceptical because obviously Zoe aka Zoella has so many fans none of who would want to say a bad word about her or anything which she does. Although I am one of Zoe's 'followers' and love her videos and blog (just wish she would post more often on her blog, but that's beside the point) this review is 100% honest.
Girl Online is about a girl named Penny who lives in Brighton and decides to start an anonymous blog called Girl Online. Her gay best friend Elliot lives next door, and they spend there time with each other and when they are not communicating through the wall which connects the two houses. Similar to most teenage girls Penny is having some issues with friends and boys and among all of this she also discovers that she has anxiety and starts experiencing panic attacks. When her family are given the chance to fly out to New York because of their business, its the last thing which Penny wants to do with her panic attacks but with the help of her family and best friend she gets herself there and is able to forget everything which I happening back at home. Once at home she then gets swirled up in a whirlwind romance with Noah, who unknown to her is a famous musician. And of course with this new romance comes new drama, this story is very realistic and relatable covering loads of issues which teenage girls go through and as well as bringing them into the light also gives little coping strategies which Penny tries but is also something which you could put into practice in your everyday life.
This book is seriously addictive, I couldn't put it down and was reading it at every opportunity available. It is as well an easy read which I like, but still interesting with lots happening all the time. I was actually so sad when it ended because I wanted to find out more of what happened. I think that there is another book happening at some point and I will have to read that as soon as possible to see how the story carries on. You could say that it is a typical girly book about boys, friends and dealing with general life. But not many books cover anxiety like Girl Online, because Zoe struggles with anxiety herself she wanted this to be a major part of the book and for someone like me who gets anxiety it actually helped me and made the book so much more relatable because I knew exactly what Penny felt like.
Overall I loved this book, but I can see why it isn't for everyone. If you like the more girly books then you will love this, as I did. So if your looking for a new book then I would recommend you give this one a go. In response to it being ghost written, I can understand why everyone felt so betrayed that it was because Zoe never said that it was or explained that to people so they bought it thinking that it was completely written by her. But Zoe is a blogger, she makes YouTube videos writing books isn't what she does so it was clear that she was going to need help. As its been said all of the ideas where her but she needed help making those ideas and plans into a book which people would want to read.
Have you read Girl Online, what did you think? What books would you recommend?

I just found out from a very nice buyer that my "Coolest Cloud" drawing was featured on ApartmentTherapy today. They were doing a little feature on rainclouds and I feel very lucky that they spotted mine!
I am thoroughly exhausted from being on my feet at work and from staying up late all last night watching the whole Indiana Jones trilogy but there are still butterflies in my stomach and I'm getting those shiver twitches that happen when I'm really thrilled but can't muster the energy to do some air punches and high kicks. It is a great feeling to be featured on a blog that I frequent regularly and that has a lot of readers.
My head is swelling and I'm going to be all full of myself until the moment I get into work tomorrow to find that none of my coworkers have heard of Apartment Therapy. That happened with the Boing Boing feature. Everyone was happy for me because they are excellent friends but I really wanted to hear someone squeal with recognition.
Boing Boing, Apartment Therapy and Etsy are so huge to me that I forget that many people haven't heard of them and they use the internet primarily to check their email. Few of my friends and family are as internet overloaded as I am with my Flickr, Etsy, blogging, Myspace and a handful of other web-pursuits. Oh, the great INTERWEB! I feel like it's my secret garden where I can see great design and cute animals. I know this is the dweebiest profession of love ever but ... I love the internet! There. I said it. I could definitely use a bit more fresh air and exercise though.
P.S. Today is Justin's birthday (we celebrated yesterday though). It's also a lunar eclipse evening. This is in honor of both. Feast your eyes and PLEASE watch the whole thing. She c r a z y.

I still think it's awesome that you're getting recognized as the amazing and creative artist you are. You definitely deserve the spotlight. And I so want to buy that little bunny journal that you have on Etsy, but I can't spend any moolah on anything until I've gotten over my bag-purchase guilt.

Evergreen Azalea Johanna - lush dark evergreen foliage, orange red spring flowers, also prefers neutral to acid soil and some shade. Does well in a pot - always use ericaceous compost!
Ilex acquifolium argentea marginata - Holly - a traditional plant for Christmas with a variation - variegated foliage which brightens up an entrance, bright red berries, slow growing and very hardy. Prune to retain shape in summer.
Picea pungens Edith - one of the best colour blue spruce's. Christmas tree shape, slow growing to approximately 3m in 20 years. Likes well - drained soil and a sunny site.
