A 62-year-old was killed Saturday in a two-car collision at North Main and Academy streets in Greenville, according to the Greenville Police Department.
Shortly after 8 a.m., an SUV was turning left onto North Main Street from Academy Street when a truck traveling outbound on Academy Street struck the SUV's passenger side door, according to police. Both drivers told police that they had green lights.
The woman, a passenger in the SUV, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to police.

Traffic lights at the intersection malfunctioned as a result of the wreck since the SUV also struck a utility pole, according to police.
The Greenville Police Department and Greenville County Coroner's Office are investigating the incident.

Winter Carnival in a Western Town
Release Date:31 May 2011
Identity, Change and the Good of the Community
By Lisa Gabbert
SERIES: Ritual, Festival, and Celebration
Held annually, the McCall, Idaho, winter carnival has become a modern tradition. A festival and celebration, it is also a source of community income and opportunity for shared community effort; a chance to display the town attractively to outsiders and to define and assert McCall's identity; and consequently, a source of disagreement among citizens over what their community is, how it should be presented, and what the carnival means.
Though rooted in the broad traditions of community festival, annual civic events, often sponsored by chambers of commerce, such as that in McCall, are as much expressions of popular culture and local commerce as of older traditions. Yet they become dynamic, newer community traditions, with artistic, informal, and social meanings and practices that make them forms of folklore as well as commoditized culture. Winter Carnival is the first volume in a new Utah State University Press series titled Ritual, Festival, and Celebration and edited by folklorist Jack Santino.
'A first rate ethnographic study . . . Whereas other folklorists have scrutinized festival in relation to cultural and social systems, Lisa Gabbert offers the first fully developed study of festival in relation to work and place. Her contribution is distinguished by its engagement with environment, the industrialized backwoods, winter, and tourism in the American West.'
—James P. Leary, editor of Journal of American Folklore
'Without recourse to jargon, and always at a comfortable pace, the author takes us into the heart of McCall's winter festival yet always returns to key questions: how does community take shape or fragment around festive activity? How does festival respond to changing social environments?'
—John H. McDowell, author of Poetry and Violence: The Ballad of Mexico's Costa Chica
'As an ethnographic study, Winter Carnival in a Western Town provides an informed look at a seasonal resort community. It provides unique historical and sociological insights into not only the community, but also the social construction of frivolity and its role in shaping individual and community behaviors. This well-written inquiry bridges the social sciences and folklore and is both scholarly and entertaining.'
—Studies in Popular Culture

Private sector leads drive to rejuvenate Chester city centre
Home > Chester News > Private sector leads drive to rejuvenate Chester city centre
A Roman welcome to Chester this Christmas
Leading Chester businesses and key stakeholders are joining forces in an effort to reverse the steady decline in the City Centre.
Primark, Boots, Marks and Spencer, the owners of the Grosvenor Shopping Centre and several well-established independent retailers and hospitality businesses in the city centre are among the first to back an initiative that could bring in £millions to revitalise the central area.
Together with Chester Racecourse and Chester Cathedral, they are founder members of a new private-sector group that will develop and deliver a campaign to secure Business Improvement District (BID) status for a still-to-be-defined area in the heart of the city which will embrace hundreds of businesses including retailers, hotels and food and drink outlets.
Significant progress has already been made with the formation of the CH1 Chester BID Company.
The group is being led on an interim basis by independent business owner Paul Daniels. It will follow in the footsteps of Liverpool and 170 other towns and cities across the UK where BID status has helped deliver tangible bottom-line benefits and improved sustainability.
A Business Improvement District is a business-led and business-funded body formed to improve a defined commercial area. All businesses involved are asked to vote on whether or not to pay a small levy on top of their business rates which is pooled to provide a fund that can be allocated to a wide range of improvements, as agreed by the businesses themselves.
BIDs have been working successfully in the UK for 10 years, delivering £millions of private sector improvements. Liverpool's successful BID generates around £1 million per year.
"It's no secret that Chester's city centre businesses are facing real challenges," Paul Daniels explained.
"Over the last 15 years, the city has moved from being in the top 10 in the national league table of retail centres down to the mid 30s . As well as increasing competition from out-of-town development, businesses are being hard hit by a dramatic increase in on-line shopping."
Paul continued: "This is a real opportunity to help address those challenges, and partnership is the key. A BID in Chester will provide a really effective way of enabling our city-centre businesses to come together and agree how they want to improve their own trading environment. The decision-making will rest with them."
"It's time to act, and a successful BID campaign by the CH1 Chester BID Company will deliver the change we need, not just to survive but to thrive," said Paul.
"We will be talking to each and every business owner/operator and over the next few months we will gather views and ideas and see what they might cost and how they can be delivered. The proposed 1% of business rates levy will be amongst the lowest in the UK."
Paul added: "The key message now is not whether Chester wants a BID but how Chester will survive without one."
The CH1 Chester BID board members will be hosting the first of many information drop-in sessions in the Pallatine Room of the Town Hall on Tuesday 8th October between 4.30pm and 6.30pm and all businesses are encouraged to come along and share their views and ideas with the CH1 Chester BID board.
A CH1 website is under construction which will provide more information on what the Chester BID is, its proposed boundary, board members and how city businesses can get involved.
CH1 Chester BID board founding member Errol Edwards, Primark's General Manager in Chester, welcomed the new initiative.
"BIDs are the most cost effective and inclusive way of bringing a whole city together to work on delivering enhancements which, without question, improve the environment for its visitors, residents and shoppers and I'm delighted to be involved.
"I've seen at first hand the fantastic improvements delivered by other BIDs across the country where Primark has a store, including in Liverpool. The Liverpool BID now brings in over £1m per annum from the city centre businesses – why not Chester?"
Independent owner of the Watergate St Art Gallery and CH1 BID Board member Alex Sharpe said: "In this day and age businesses cannot realistically expect the local council to fund all the 'add ons' we would like to see in Chester, such as dedicated Chester marketing campaigns, welcome hosts throughout the city and increases in seasonal activities.
"I hope many other business owners/managers share our commitment to this city and will also be prepared to give time and money to the BID.
"I'm keen to hear from all businesses on what they would like to see happen over the next few years so we can build a business plan around their suggestions and plan our spend effectively. I want the Watergate St Art Gallery to be here in 5, 10, 50 years and I genuinely feel that a BID is the best option to achieving that.
"I will be urging all my fellow businesses to vote YES when the time comes next year to vote for a BID."
Also representing CH1 Chester BID Company is Bride Hall – joint owners of Grosvenor Shopping Centre. Director Roger Gorham commented: "We cannot be complacent. Chester has stood still whilst other towns and cities have moved forward. We need to improve the physical environment, and enhance and promote the city's offer, making Chester a place where people want to visit, work and live."
He added: "The BID will enable us to make this step change. We have joined the CH1 Chester BID board to work with businesses and key stakeholders to deliver change for a better Chester."
Chester Renaissance Chief Executive Rita Waters will be seconded to work with the CH1 Chester BID board, bringing her experience of leading Liverpool through a successful BID process.

"Trump recession"? Presumptive GOP nominee fires back at Clinton
June 22, 2016 / 7:10 AM / CBS News
Trump spoke to Norah O'Donnell Tuesday at his headquarters in Trump Tower
Trump on fundraising gap with Clinton, being "king of debt" 06:16
In her first election economic speech in Ohio Tuesday, Hillary Clinton warned that a Donald Trump presidency will throw the United States back into a "Trump recession."
But in an interview with "CBS This Morning" co-host Norah O'Donnell, the presumptive Republican nominee dismissed the criticism.
"We're going to put people back to work again, we're not going to allow countries to steal our businesses," Trump said.
Clinton: Trump will "bankrupt America" 04:48
Clinton bolstered her argument by claiming that economists all agree that "Trump would throw us back into recession," saying the Independent Tax Policy Center found his tax plan would increase the national debt by more than $30 trillion over 20 years. But Trump believes his economic plans will help create an "absolute unbelievable country" by bringing in "tremendous amounts" of money, jobs and companies.
"It would bring back jobs and it'll bring back business," Trump said. "Companies now are leaving the United States, corporate inversion... We have almost $5 trillion sitting out there where they can't get the money back. They can't bring it in because there's no mechanism to bring it back in and the tax is so high... And yes, the tax is going to be cut from the highest taxed nation anywhere in the world to a fairly low tax - not the lowest in the world, but to a fairly low tax."
If there's one thing the opponents can agree on, it's that he is the "king of debt." Clinton mocked the presumptive GOP nominee's self-declared nickname during her speech, to which Trump responded on Twitter:
I am "the king of debt."That has been great for me as a businessman, but is bad for the country. I made a fortune off of debt, will fix U.S.
"Nobody knows debt better than me. I've made a fortune by using debt and if things don't work out, I renegotiate the debt," Trump said. "Well, you go back and you say, 'hey, guess what? The economy just crashed. I'm going to give you back half.'"
But Trump said that while he likes debt for "my companies," he does not like national debt, which has hit $19 trillion.
"It's going to be very soon $21 trillion... And I will tell you, we are sitting on a time bomb and Hillary Clinton doesn't have a clue. And President Obama has pretty much doubled the debt since he's been in office and somebody's going to pay a big price. We have to start chopping that debt down," Trump said.
Clinton's criticisms of Trump's economic policies came just hours after Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen testified in a Senate Banking Committee Hearing. Yellen slammed Trump's proposal to load up on debt and cut it down by making a deal with creditors, warning that it would bring "very severe" consequences.
"I wouldn't renegotiate the debt... If I do a deal in a corporation as an example and if the economy goes bad, I'll often times renegotiate that debt. But that's a different thing, that's just a corporate thing," Trump said of Yellen's criticism. "And other people like me, very big people in the world of business, they do that. No, I wouldn't do that. But I think it could be a good time to borrow and pay off debt. Borrow debt, make longer-term debt."
The Clinton camp has spent $23 million in television advertising in eight battleground states, but Trump has spent none. When asked why he did not fight back, Trump referred to his "good business practices."
"When I spent less money than anybody else and won the primaries-- like in New Hampshire -- I spent a million dollars and a certain opponent spent $8 million and I won in a landslide. Nobody said, 'gee, he did it without spending the money.' That's called good business practices," Trump said. "And by the way, we're raising quite a bit of money. I'm raising it for the party. I'd rather just spend my own money. To me it's simpler. But you don't need to spend... a billion, $200 million. In other words, she's going to spend $300 million a month... I talk to my people all the time and say, 'why do you have to spend a billion dollars?' That doesn't make sense."
Still, Clinton entered June with $42 million in the bank, compared to Trump's $1 million. In the past two presidential elections, the candidate with the larger expenditures - Barack Obama and George W. Bush before that - emerged as the winners. But calling Clinton's cash "blood money," Trump said he did not want to "devote the rest of my life to raising money from people."
"And you know... every time she raises money, she's making deals. Just saying, 'could I be ambassador to this? Could I do that? Make sure my business is taken care of.' I mean, give me a break. All of the money she's raising, that's blood money... Look, I was one of the biggest donors. I gave a lot of money to the party... So I understand the system better than anybody," Trump said. "Look, she's getting tremendous amounts of money from Wall Street. She's going to take care of Wall Street. She's getting tremendous amounts of money from lots of people. She's going to take care of all these people."

From Cows to Coins: The Changing Face of Scandinavian Currency
Thread: From Cows to Coins: The Changing Face of Scandinavian Currency

Skåne and North Frisia
By Garfield Sagamaster; This article appeared in Valhalla's Svar Vol. 7, No. 7 - September, 1996
In the beginning ... I always thought that was a nifty way to start a story, and in this case it fits. When mankind gained a more materialistic character he found that occasionally someone else had something that he wanted. Assuming a culture was lived in that had laws, some way was needed to obtain the desired object without stealing it or killing it's owner. Thus was born the art of bartering . "I'll give you this war club for that pin", or something on that level. This was the process for early trade throughout the world as well as Scandinavia.
As the Norse culture grew it came into contact with cultures outside the Scandinavian religion. Both the Norse and the new cultures discovered that the others had items that were desirable. (I hope that's not too confusing.) This, then, brought about the need for market places, or fairs. As stated, in the beginning this was simply done on a barter basis, goods for goods. However, something in the fifth or sixth century C.E., a standardization of value began to emerge. This standard was most likely based on cattle as can be seen from the modern word fee, which is derived from the Old Norse word fe, or feoh, meaning cattle. At this point, all items of value, including people, had their equivalent in a specific number, or fraction, of cattle.
This system, however, began to become unwieldy, especially in the cases where a person, such as a jarl, wishes to purchase a number of swords. Soon the market fairs would be overcrowded with the cattle needed to pay for something if the merchants did not wish to take something else in trade. A better system was needed and so silver was bought in a proxy for the cattle.
Silver was the perfect medium to be used in place of cattle. To start, a ertain amount of silver was decided to equal a single cow. For the sake of convenience, let us say that one cow was worth one ounce of silver. This standard would have been worked out over a period of time, facilitated by the reacquaintance of Scandinavia with the Mediterranean world in the late seventh century C.E., where silver coins had been in use for some time. In Scandinavia, the first "money" was the baug (ring). These rings were simple spirals of unadorned silver rod. These rings could be cut, or broken (sound familiar from anywhere?), to the proper weight. Not only was silver ideal because of it's weight, but it was easy to mold into attractive forms or to cover items with, adding value to those items. Thus, if a customer ran out of ring-money, he or she could simply break off a piece of an earring or some other piece of jewelry to make up the difference.
Now the Norse had something more convenient to use then carrying around a herd of cattle, but some sort of standards were needed to use the silver in a uniform manner. Therefore a system of weights and measures was developed. The oldest weight measurement was the eyrir (plural aurar). This was a weight based on gold and the word most likely derived from the Latin word aurus, which means gold. The eyrir originally weighed approximately 26.4 grams. As the Viking Age progressed this weight was reduced to about 24.5 grams.
There were eight (8) aurar to the largest single weight, the mark. this means that one mark was about 196 grams. the next weight down from the eyrir was the ertog (plural ertogar). There were twenty-four to the mark and a single ertog was about 8 grams.
My sources are a bit confused on the last weight. the measurement was the penningar and various sources say the the number of penningar to the mark varied between 10 and 240. However, all my sources say that the penningar weighed about 4 grams. After doing some quick math (all right , so I had to use a calculator and it still took me five minutes), if the 4 gram weight is correct then the number of penningar to the mark should be 49.
There is an interesting little note about the penningar that must be given out of turn. Later in the Viking period, after the introduction of Norse struck coins, the penningar was also the name given to a coin that was to be equal to the weight of the same name. Towards the end of the period, the penningar coin sometimes varied in its weight. This led to people referring to penningar being either a counted penningar or a weighted penningar. This, then , leads to another note which is more in turn. Earlier I mentioned that jewelry could be, and often was cut up to make up the difference if one came up short in the amount of "ring-money" one had on hand. Of all the hoards found throughout the Viking world, none of the hoards that have been found in Norway obtain "hack" silver. These hoards contain whole pieces of jewelry, ingots, and coins, but nothing that looks to have been deliberately cut up.
To weigh out the silver to insure proper payment, merchants carried with them a unique invention called the folding., collapsing, or nesting scales. They received these names for the reason that they were able to do just that. The arms of the scales were hinged and could fold up to be in line with the hanger bar and pointer. These, then, could be laid into one of the cups which in turn would be nested into the other cup. The whole would then be placed into a leather bag or wooden box. Also found with a number of sets of the scales were sets of weights. these were made from lead, bronze, clay, glass, or combinations of any of these. Most were spherical with a flattened spot, although disks and cones have also been found. On the flattened spot would be a symbol to tell the weight of the weight.
This brings me to the third stage in the development of Scandinavian currency, the introduction of coins. Coins were developed in Asia Minor in about the sixth century B.C.E. These then slowly worked their way north. Scandinavia became aware of coins in about the second century C.E. However, they were not used for money except for their value as weighed silver , or jewelry. In the mid ninth century C.E. the Carrolingian coins from Dorstad were copied by Norse minters, probably at Hedeby. These coins were not copied very well and eventually the legends were replaced with designs of Norse origin. These Norse coins corresponded to weights already in use. Because of this, many people still preferred to use ingots and hack silver. Also, it was not uncommon for people to cut up coins to make up the difference in short weights at purchase time. After all, now they didn't have to destroy their jewelry. Norse minters continued to strike coins based on their own designs for about one hundred years. Then they must have decided that the minting of coins was futile. It was not until the turn of the millennium that coinage became a permanent feature in all three of the Scandinavian countries. In Norway they were introduced by Olaf Sigurdsson, by Svein Forkbeard in Denmark, and in Sweden by Olof Skøtkonung.
At first these coins were based on English models but eventually began to take on more Norse characteristics. For instance, shortly after the death of Harald Hardradi, Norwegian coin replaced Latin legends with runic and wrote in the vernacular. Also about this time Sweden abandoned the minting of coins for a short period. This was probably a reaction to the resurgence of the Old Faith. Since the mints were putting Christian symbols on the coins, and the minters were Christian, they would have refused to put Pagan symbols on their product. This brings up another interesting point. The Norse kings in England, Knut, et. al., used motifs that could be claimed to be either Christian or Pagan. For example, one type of coin had a bird on it that could have been either the Alfathers raven or the dove of the Holy Spirit. Another had three triangular shapes that could have been three shields, a representation of the Christian trinity, or a representation of Odin, Thorburn, and Frey. A third example was a coin with a shape that could have been either Mjolnir, or a Tau cross.
In or around the year 1070, minting went through a major reformation. After this was complete foreign coins pretty much disappeared from Scandinavia and only coins minted in the respective countries were considered legal tender there. this brings to mind an idea.
For some time now, members of the club have been tossing around the idea of a permanent site for the club. Many hope to have this site function not only as a learning center where people can come to see a real Viking Age village, but as a place where some money can be made for both the club and the members. Mayhaps we should work out a way that visitors can make purchases with either our own minted coins or ring money. We could have a booth where the guests could purchase coins or ring-money made of pure silver. We would sell the coinage for current market value of the silver and price items within the village accordingly. That way, if the gust does not use up all his/her silver during the visit, they still have something that both has value in the outside world and could be in itself a souvenir. But, this is just and idea.

Home » Diving work » Cleaning the bottom of the water area
Specialists of the Center for Humanitarian Demining and Special Works will conduct a full range of works on inspection and cleaning of the water area (demining) from explosive and other foreign objects. We carry out a sonar survey of the seabed. We use modern technical means and methods of side-scan sonar survey, geomagnetic survey with a towed magnetometer, diving equipment and machinery.
Bottom cleaning objectives
Complex cleaning of the water area bottom is aimed at search and extraction of undesirable objects, usually located in the coastal zone. They include both non-dangerous remains of different objects, constructions, domestic and construction waste, stumps, logs, snags, scrap metal and explosive objects of industrial or military use. Water area cleaning works are required in the following cases:
if there is suspicion of explosive objects (EOD) underwater;
before laying underwater utility routes, as well as when repairing them;
in the construction of structures partially placed below water level
before the beginning of the beach season or the expansion of existing beach boundaries.
After the survey and complete cleaning of the water area, a corresponding act is drawn up.
Stages of clearing and demining the water area
Cleaning the bottom of the water area (demining) includes:
an on-board sonar and magnetometer survey of the area to determine the presence of large objects and metal accumulations underwater;
detailing of the ground with probe metal detectors and mapping of detected objects with satellite transmitters;
diving for direct visual examination of the bottom, collecting small debris and fixing the large to lift it mechanically. If there are explosive objects in the water area they are demined directly on the spot or remotely detonated
Drawing up a report on the conducted diving survey and bottom cleaning.
Drawing up an act of inspection and cleaning of the water area
The act of diving survey and cleaning of the water area bottom is drawn up on the basis of the technical assignment and the initial data for the works. The act is drawn up after the survey and cleaning of the seabed for foreign objects (including BOP) have been carried out and the results meet all the necessary requirements. The prepared document is approved by all relevant authorities.
Preliminary cost of works on the survey and cleanup of the water area from VOP
Per 1 Hectare From 22 000 rubles

ITALIANI ED EUROPEI - 60.mo TRATTATI EUROPA - 7000 ORGANIZZAZIONI SOCIETA' CIVILE CHIEDONO AI CAPI DI STATO E DI GOVERNO UE INTRODUZIONE TASSA EUROPEA SULLE TRANSAZIONI FINANZIARIE
. Published on Fri, 2017-03-24 00:00
Alla vigilia del Vertice di Roma, occasione in cui i Leader dei Paesi UE si apprestano a celebrare il sessantesimo anniversario dei Trattati di Roma e discutere del futuro dell'UE, oltre 7.000 organizzazioni della società civile hanno inviato una lettera congiunta ai leader dei 10 Paesi Membri impegnati da tre anni nel negoziato per l'introduzione di una Tassa europea sulle Transazioni Finanziarie (TTF). Il futuro dell'UE passa anche dall'adozione di misure come questa che rappresentano una risposta concreta alle istanze dei cittadini sempre più schiacciati da politiche che privilegiano il potere di pochi a discapito del benessere di tutti.
Italy: Change of direction needed to implement the 2030 Agenda
Due to the lasting impact of the international financial crisis and resulting increase in poverty and insecurity, and especially due to the Government's extensive austerity policies, Italy faces challenges in many of the areas addressed by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development goal.
Moreover, the political context is critical, the result of three changes of Government without elections, in which the executive power has taken decisive initiatives for reform in many fields, including constitutional reforms, resulting in a progressive worsening of the gap between the political action of the "palace" and the daily exercise of citizen democratic participation.
Even in the one area that has seen a positive trend in recent years, namely, the development of renewable energy, there has been a reversal of the virtuous cycle since 2015. In the absence of a national energy plan, government policies continue to encourage fossil fuels (despite popular opposition), and large infrastructural works with new rules to eliminate environmental controls (introduced through the Stability Law in 2016) and with an increase in soil depletion.

Italy: A country in coma
As a whirlpool, the crisis that has been lasting for the past 5 years has hit Italy hard in 2012.
The country was put under the "technical" government of Mario Monti, who acted as a commissioner and subjected Italy to a shock therapy of austerity policies, similar to the structural adjustment programs imposed by the IMF. While intended to reanimate the economy, it plunged the country into a real recession under the blackmail of two parameters: the "spread" between Italy and Germany, and the Public Debt, which has grown another 10%, reaching 127,3% of the GNP. It is not by chance that the Prime Minister Mario Monti has been International Advisor to Goldman Sachs.
The deterioration of the living conditions of a large part of the Italian population concerned especially the "working poor": in Italy, there are three million, about 15% of the total employed. Eight million Italians live with less than one thousand euro per month. The crisis has seriously damaged the middle class.

Italy behind the European gender equity average, says watchdog organization
In terms of gender equity Italy lags behind the European average, and also behind some of its neighbours.
This is made apparent by the publication of the Gender Equity Index (GEI) 2012, published by Social Watch on the eve of Women's International Day, March 8.
Sustainable development: not the Government's priority
Commitments on combating poverty and social exclusion, as well as on increasing gender equality, have not been met, while policies undermine the availability and delivery of essential services. Although sustainable development is not part of the Government's priorities, four successful referenda promoted by civil society (against nuclear power, forced privatization of water and other public services and against the exemption of the Prime Minister from the rule of law) that brought almost 27 million Italians to vote, have pushed the country in the right direction. It is essential to review all public policies and establish a new model of development centred on the enforcement of fundamental human rights, environmental sustainability and the reduction of social inequality.

You might be noticing that I'm missing the AHA/BHA toner but I was never super interested in it since this toner is also low pH, plus I had the wonder pore toner.
It all has to do with me and figuring out my skin type. And it took me months and months of healing and testing and trying to figure out that: no I don't have sensitive oily skin, rather my skin is dry and it did not have a good acid mantle and moisture barrier. How did I know? Well I was moving from Olay products over to Korean beauty (which in my opinion caters to different skin types better). I knew I wanted to try an AHA to see if that would help me heal acne and better my skin texture, and this pore line seemed like it might be good for my possibly oily skin type. Well it still took me awhile to work through this line and figure out how to use an AHA, but this was the lineup that was critical to me finally realizing my skin needed oil and heavy moisture. I do think that parts of this line would work beautifully for oily skin since it features a wonderfully light essence and lotion that really do keep oiliness at bay. But if you're dry skinned like me, I think there are better lineups out there.
Does anyone remember when Bath&Body Works had that cookies and Cream lip balm?
Since this is high pH I can really only recommend it to oily skin types or people looking to remove makeup and maybe waterproof sunscreen with only one cleanser. If you're dry skinned like me, you'll find that this will remove too much oil from the skin. So why do I have it still? Well my man likes it.
Not hydrating enough for very dry skin, but you can layer it with other products easily.
The main things I could see bothering people are the alcohol and fragrance if you're sensitive to those things. I could never really detect any scent and I'm not personally sensitive to alcohol.
well for many month of 2015-2016 it was not in production since Mizon was coming out with a crappier version of their skin Renewal Program Line. It was more expensive and has a lower percentage AHA serum. But not too long ago Peach & Lily got it back in stock and they're selling it for $25 (this is much more than I paid and what I was seeing from Korean websites) But they are THE licensed US retailer for Mizon so I think I'll probably end up buying from them.
The next options will come from Korea, and the only other retailer I'm sort of familiar with with beautynetkorea who's selling for 14.99 but you'll have to pay international shipping.
Also this is my first post in my acids series where I try to cover every single AHA & BHA in my possession. I hope maybe I helped someone who's been looking at this line and/or someone who is interested in the AHA serum. Now that this review is finally done, I can use these bottle to store oils.

Being fan-financed, Chesapeake lets Yamagata focus on the intricate pleasures of writing and performing songs that defy easy genre categorization. Elements of pop, jazz, and '70s piano ballads coalesce around a voice that would've been a soul star in the 1960s, a lite-FM presence in the early 1970s, or a disco leader by the end of that decade. Emerging in the 21st century, Yamagata has been left to flirt with alternative media outlets and styles that float and merge with little effort. She's a singer/songwriter who can write sass ("Starlight") and sincere ("You Won't Let Me") with the same convincing pitch. "Starlight" is the grand production number here, but tracks such as "Even If I Don't" (with four minutes of excited tension) and "Stick Around" (with stalking bass and jazz gait) use arrangements that best express the tunes. "I Don't Want to Be Your Mother" is an intimate highlight. "Dealbreaker" is a true showcase for her emotive range. Recorded with a small cast of talented friends, Chesapeake gives Yamagata's fans their money's worth.
This project was financed in part by Rachael's fans on Pledge Music!! How cool is that?? The music business model is expanding and allowing artists like Rachael artust freedom! This is an absolutely incredible project. Support a true independent artist.
I love the undertone of this album. The feeling holding the hand of the music in Chesapeake is the same as her first album Happenstance... which was a dear friend of mine. Buuuuuy it!!!!! We <3 you Rachael!
Another instant classic! Thanks for taking us along for the ride!

Afro-Cuban Activists Fight Racism Between Two Fires
Two unexpected reasons to celebrate the 2016 Australian census controversy
by Luis F. Angosto-Ferrández on September 3, 2016
The census controversies are not over in Australia, but they have certainly cooled down. This is a better time to air a couple of questions that have largely remained outside the central debates revolving around this census round in general, and around the crisis of census day in particular. These questions should make us celebrate the fact that, at least for the time being, we continue to live in societies in which there is a public sector mediating our social life. Because a healthy public sector, warts and all, can always be oriented and made accountable by the citizenry. This is something that we tend to forget too easily, though it is a real treasure in a historical period in which social life is increasingly mediated by unaccountable private and corporate forces.
So let us recapitulate. The new census round brought together a motley crew of enemies of "big government", defenders of civil rights and a number of inspired conspiracy theorists against the Australian Bureau of Statistics – often identified with the current government in a mechanical way, without nuance. Of course, different arguments were presented by those critiquing the census and its new methods, but there was generally a converging point among them: it was presented as a threat against individual freedom, with the census portrayed as a potential tool for unpredictable (but always negative) social control. Let us for a second leave aside the arguments about the way in which the current government may be using the data (but let us also recall that the current government might nor be there for too long). Let us at the same time assume that if the ABS had not gone through cuts in its funding, it would be better prepared to cope with its work. And let us then focus on the sense of entitlement with which the claims of the right to privacy were presented over the past few weeks of controversies. That sense of entitlement arguably stems from a notion of citizenship and democracy that, alas, is largely absent nowadays from most aspects of our everyday lives. It certainly does not have parallels in our lives as consumers, which is what we are when we are not citizens.
It is significant that, in a period in which personal data is captured and circulated in mass scale by private corporations and often through a-legal mechanisms, it was the national census, run by a state agency, that sparked such outrage. Is that not surprising? Why do some people find it inconceivable that a state agency manages certain personal data (even when there are regulations to protect a degree of anonymity), but at the same time many of these people are comfortably fine with private corporations capturing, storing and circulating far more of their personal data (and often with no clear consent granted by consumers)? Well, that is a bit of a mystery, and one that speaks about the world in which we live. And that is not really good news, because unless we become more aware of what is at stake in these matters, we may end up in a situation in which the control of data and the circulation of information by private corporations will translate in a dramatic involution for democracy, as experts are cogently denouncing.
So, after all, the census controversy around personal privacy has demonstrated what still remains so good about certain conceptions of citizen rights, whose mobilisation can become the source of reorientation for the activities of public organs.
The other good reason to celebrate the census controversies of the past few weeks is that they have given the census some of the public attention it deserves. After all, they are essential instruments for governance, providing indispensable data for the definition of public agendas and for the subsequent design and implementation of policy. Yet census designs are far less discussed than government budgets or parliamentary legislation. This is a bit of a mystery, even in these times of growing disaffection with institutional politics.
The reason why censuses largely remain outside the public spotlight is that they seem to be enveloped by an association of statistics and numbers with politically neutral objectivity.
However, while we should all credit existing technical expertise at the bureaus, we should also acknowledge that census-making is deeply enmeshed in broader political processes that shape them as political tools. And they are political tools not because the government uses them to make the population subject to obscure forms of control, but because they are spaces of social representation, crucial for the institutional shaping of national identities.
Among other things, censuses address the quantification of social identities (such as ethnicity, in Australia). And, against conventional wisdom, there is nothing straightforward about the measurement (and demarcation) of social identities.
First, it is always an ideological decision that will determine whether or not ethnic categories can be accepted as legitimate and realistic divisions of the national population. A comparative look at the history and present of national censuses demonstrates that such decisions change over time (and across nations) as a result of ideological transformations in our societies.
Second, if social identity categories such as ethnicity are accepted as a way to realistically portray social diversity, political decisions come again to the fore, articulated with technical considerations. The conceptualisation of ethnicity is subject to ongoing debates, far from resolved. And bureaus of statistics have to define and make the concept of ethnicity operational, designing a number of questions for interviewees and offering a number of example categories for them to ascribe to.
This is why census designs are political. The designs impact on society in practical terms, both through the ways in which it pre-informs public policy and through the acts of administrative recognition that imply the legitimisation, consolidation or even the creation of social categories that may condition citizen interaction.
The choice of terminology can decisively condition the results of social identity counts, as comparative research demonstrates. Census results can be significantly affected by social milieu too, for respondents are sensitive to political contexts and thus can feel more or less inclined to publicly embrace a particular social identity. In situations in which there is a perception of strong discrimination against one's own group of ascription, self-identifications decrease. When there is a positive valorisation of a given social identity, the opposite is the case. Censuses can legitimise certain social identities, and they can also contribute to generating those identities.
In addition, the 'example effects' in census can have significant impacts on results. This is a technical term naming the demonstrated tendency of respondents to ascribe to categories that are already included in questionnaires as example categories.
And this relates to another crucial aspect of contemporary censuses: self-identification as the criteria used to identify social identities. This is a relatively recent mechanism in the history of censuses, replacing external identification (i.e. the process through which a census enumerator decided what was the social identity to which the interviewee was to be ascribed).
Self-identification overcomes undignifying census practices and avoids reification of identities. However, this does not preclude certain challenges, for it transforms mechanisms of group affiliation into individualised acts of subjective psychological choice, projecting a potentially evanescent character upon social identities.
All these questions have practical implications for political economy, and they are the questions that should generate civic discussion around censuses.

Cyberlink Power Director 7 - "Create" Function Problems!
Components initialization failed. There might have been problems during installation. Please reinstall again.
Creat Disk page initializing error! Components initialization failed. There might have been problems during installation. Please reinstall again.
I have uninstalled and re-installed four times now with the same error message. Is there some special codec(s) that I need or is it something else entirely.
you could try the latest update patch. i've used it a few times but it has always been a bit buggy.
The file(s) in the BurningMgr folder of PowerDirector is damaged. You need to replace them with a non-damaged ones (2 files total). The files are the same for other installations also so you can just copy the files from another installation (including the trial version).
ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS DOWNLOAD A DVD MENU. Your Install contained no DVD menu. The program requires at least one DVD menu to funsction!
It's a fantastic program. I just found the solution elsewhere.
To get DVD MENU'S login/register in directors zone and then navigate to DVD menus and download one. Double click it and it will install. Then you can burn a disk!!!!!

Het Val Taleggio is een Italiaans bergdal in de regio Lombardije (provincies Bergamo en Lecco). Het is een zijdal van het Val Brembana dat zich ten noorden van de stad Bergamo uitstrekt.

Het dal is gevormd door de rivier de Enna die ontspringt nabij het dorp Morterone. Halverwege het dal vormt deze rivier een nauwe kloof; de Orrido della Val Taleggio. De bergen ten noorden van de vallei maken deel uit van het Parco Regionale delle Orobie Bergamasche. Het Val Taleggio is vooral bekend door de naar het dal vernoemde kaassoort. In het dal liggen drie gemeentes. Twee ervan, Taleggio en Vedeseta behoren tot de provincie Bergamo. Deze zijn niet met een weg verbonden met het tot Lecco behorende Morterone.

Gemeenten in het dal
Taleggio (573 inw.)
Vedeseta (244 inw.)
Morterone (37 inw.)

Hoogste bergtoppen

The current study begins with an awareness that today's media environment is characterized by technological development and a new way of reading caused by the introduction of the Internet. The researcher conducted a meta analysis framed within Technological Determinism to investigate the process of hypertext reading, its differences from linear reading and the effects such differences can have on people's ways of mentally structuring their world. The relationship between literacy and the comprehension achieved by reading hypertexts is also investigated. The results show hypertexts are not always user friendly. People experience hyperlinks as interruptions that distract their attention generating comprehension and disorientation. On one hand, hypertextual jumping reading generates interruptions that finally make people lose their concentration. On the other hand, hypertexts fascinate people who would rather read a document in such a format even though the outcome is often frustrating and affects their ability to elaborate and retain information.
