Last week a company specializing in hazardous waste disposal opened a new facility in Massachusetts, which according to an article5 in Waste Management World (WMW), is working with partners to recover rare earth elements from phosphor powder. Phosphors are rare earth compounds most commonly used in CRT display monitors and fluorescent lights. 

The facility operated by Veolia ES Technical Solutions features recycling equipment for fluorescent lamps, ballast, batteries, computers, electronics and mercury-bearing waste. According to WMW,Elegant A-Line Floor-length Halter Bridesmaid Dresses With Beautiful Crystal Floral Brooch for sale.Best Beautiful A-Line Princess Beading Embroidery Satin White Wedding Dress With Bowknot Strap sale. the plant is able to recover close to 100 percent of a fluorescent lamp and prevent mercury, a substance harmful to the environment and human health, from entering the waste stream. 

Veolia’s efforts follow a 2012 announcement7 by Solvay Group (ERB:SOLB8), a Brussels-based chemical group, that it has opened two rare earth metals recycling plants in France after it successfully developed a process to recover the metals9 from light bulbs, batteries and magnets. 

Meanwhile the recycling of permanent magnets that contain neodymium and samarium is being investigated by researchers at the University of Belgium using a liquid extraction method. 

“The process involves the liquid extraction of rare-earth metals from the other elements present in neodymium-iron10-boron and samarium-cobalt magnets,” lead researcher Koen Binnemans told11 Chemistry World. “These other elements – including iron, cobalt12,Weddings Accessories consists of accessories for the bride, flower girls, bridesmaid and other items such as cake and performances of wedding. manganese13, copper14 and zinc15 – are extracted into the ionic-liquid phase, while the rare-earth metals are left behind in the aqueous phase.” The ionic liquid can also be recycled. 

Another method, known as the Ames process16, isolates the rare earths in magnets using molten magnesium17. The magnets are broken into tiny pieces which are diffused into the liquid metal, then the magnesium is boiled off so that only REEs remain. 

However, skeptics say that it takes a lot of electronic waste to make a profitable recycling venture. A 2010 New York Times article18 describes a recycling plant in Japan built by Dowa Holdings (TYO:571419), that hacks computer chips into 2-centimeter squares and smelts them at 1,400 degrees Celsius in order to extract the rare earths. The factory, says NYT, processes 300 tons a day but only yields about 150 grams of rare metals. 

Chemistry World quotes Binnemans saying that while less than one percent of rare earth elements are currently recycled, 20 percent of global demand could be met this way.

“Recycling is only a partial solution to the supply-risk problem; it cannot replace primary mining, though it can complement it,” he remarked. “By combining mining and recycling the western world could become largely independent of China in the future.” 

While that seems overly optimistic, considering that around 95 percent of rare earths are currently sourced from China, some rare earth consumers have already taken strides towards reducing their dependence on foreign sources, and also their cost of materials, through recycling. Several large auto manufacturers have announced programs to re-use or reduce rare earths used in auto manufacturing, as Rare Earth Investing News reported20 back in March. 

Honda (NYSE:HMC21) said22 it has developed the first process to recycle rare earths extracted from nickel-hydrid batteries for use in new hybrid vehicles. According to Honda, the process is able to extract 80 percent of the rare metals from used batteries at over 99 percent purity, the same level achieved from mine processing. The auto giant said its goal is to extract metals not only from batteries, but all other components in its vehicle lines too. 

Other car makers are aiming to reduce their use of rare earths. In 2012, Toyota (NYSE:TM23) announced that it had developed24 a method to manufacture hybrid and electric vehicles without the use of rare earth metals, while General Motors (NYSE:GM25) confirmed26 it was “close to a breakthrough” that would reduce its need for dysprosium, used in drive motors for hybrids. Ford announced27 that its nickel-metal-hydride batteries will be replaced with lithium28-ion alternatives in a move that could see the company cut 500,000 pounds of REEs from its manufacturing process annually. 

While the move towards rare earth recycling and reductions by end-users seems like a troubling trend for rare earth demand, the reality is that rare earth recycling, especially for electronics, is in its infancy and is unlikely to cut into demand for the foreseeable future. Investors would be wise however to keep up with developments in REE recycling, in order to spot investment opportunities with end-users that are employing new technologies to drive down their input costs and increase profit margins.

In Nigeria, LG Electronics, has initiated an empowerment programme which has so far benefited 15 deaf and dumb persons who have been offered employment at the company’s facility in Apapa. 

The LG empowerment initiative was put together in response to the large-scale call for the engagement of people with disabilities. Government as well as corporate organisations, in recent times, have been urged not to discriminate against persons with disabilities either in terms of employment or access to public buildings. 

A facility tour of the factory which involved the media, top officials of LG Electronics, the beneficiaries and their relatives was put together. 

Speaking on the initiative, Deog Jun Kim, general manager, LG Electronics West Africa Operations, said: “Over the years society has relegated to the background the physically challenged; they are most times regarded as second class citizens. 

“This is why we have taken it upon ourselves at LG to give this people a new lease of life and thereby contribute to the development of the communities we do business in”. Many present at the facility tour were impressed with the working conditions and environment; expressing their satisfaction, they lauded the initiative charging other corporate organisations to follow suit and do same. 

Also speaking at the occasion, Managing Director, Fouani Nigeria Limited, Mohammed Fouani said: LG Electronics is committed to support the reintegration of disabled persons into the workforce and society. In recent times we have offered employment opportunities to them. 

“The LG Electronics Empowerment initiative is a pragmatic approach towards the betterment of the lives of the citizenry irrespective of their status. In Nigeria, the community of persons with disability is growing at a geometric rate. Going by the fact that these groups of people are often viewed from the prism of invalids and dependants they have been increasingly marginalized and vulnerable. 

Egegbara, a relative of one of the beneficiaries who was also part of the tour said: “I have never at any time viewed my son as a person with disability; He has always been outstanding in all he does. So when I heard that a company of this magnitude offered my son employment giving him an opportunity to showcase his skills and talents despite his limitations. 

At the first instance I did not believe it because I am yet to hear of a major company like this going all out to put smiles on the faces of people with disability, giving them the avenue to improve themselves and be useful to themselves and the society at large. 

I want to say a big thank you to LG for putting together this initiative. 

Aminu, also a relative of one of the beneficiaries said: “when my sister told me that she has been offered employment at this organisation, I could not believe it. 

Thinking she was joking, I laughed explaining to her how difficult it had been for me with my abilities to get my current job. 

On seeing the seriousness on her face, I realized it was true. Since she started working here, I have observed that she is happier; she is now able to take care of herself as well as support the household. I want to use this opportunity to thank LG Electronics for putting together this empowerment scheme”. 

The Joint National Association of Persons with Disabilities (JONAPWD) estimated that there are over 30 million Nigeria who have one form of disability or the other. This implies that this group of people on the basis of their disability cannot do the things that their contemporaries do like, finding a good job and fulfilling their dreams and aspirations.

One of Ireland's best-known electronics retailers has shut down for a second time after attempts to refloat the 80-year-old firm collapsed. 

Family-owned Peats World of Electronics told 22 staff at their flagship Parnell Street store in Dublin this morning they were losing their jobs with the immediate closure.Each A1 Fashion Handbags is a piece of art, and it is definitely not not a bag you can buy at a supermarket. 

In a statement, chairman Ben Peat blamed poor market conditions. 

"It is with great sadness and regret that we have had to make this decision, but we have been left with no other options," he said.Women Elegant Large Pearls Leather & Chain Multi-Layer Jewelry Necklace -US$ 21.99 | We Heart It. $22. Sold on ccchinachic.com. Buy. As seen in.Women Elegant Large Pearls Leather & Chain Multi-Layer Jewelry Necklace 

"Unfortunately, the sector in which we operate has been disproportionately adversely affected by the economic downturn and despite the best efforts of myself and my fellow directors, including a remodelling of the business last year, we simply cannot continue in this climate." 

Last year, Peats announced it was shutting its 11 stores around the capital and axing 75 jobs because of the recession, high rental costs and the impact of online retailers. 

The firm later decided to reopen the Parnell Street and Rathmines shops as well as its online business. 

But conditions remained tough and attempts to keep the retailer going foundered, said Mr Peat. 

"Obviously it is a particularly difficult decision for me, with the business having been in my family since 1934 and it's a real shame to lose the familiar Peats shop front from the high street," he said.Everything Health and Beauty related can be found at ccchinachic.com.

"I want to put on record my heartfelt thanks to all the staff who have worked with us over the years for their loyalty, hard work, dedication and commitment to providing the exceptional customer service which has always been Peats' hallmark. 

"Finally, thank you to all our customers and our suppliers who enabled Peats to trade for nearly 80 years, a remarkable achievement for a family owned retailer in our sector."

Bombarded as we are with information, stimulation and constant interruptions, it comes as no surprise that attention deficit disorder, or ADD, is becoming more of an adult malady than a childhood one. A quiet, focused mental state is not only unusual for most of us, but seems beyond the reach of many. 

Granted, it's our own blasted fault. We've become indentured servants to our beeping, buzzing, crazy-making devices. You can argue that your work and lifestyle require keeping a smart phone in your hand at all times, but most of us can carve out unplugged oases in our day if we truly wish to do so. 

And what should one do during some of these device-less interludes? Meditate. If you read me regularly, you know I've lauded the benefits of meditation repeatedly. But the evidence in its favor is now so compelling that I must beat this drum again. 

In this frenzied modern age, meditation is one of those approaches, like exercise,Best Beautiful A-Line Princess Beading Embroidery Satin White Wedding Dress With Bowknot Strap sale. that will do more for body and soul than almost any other so-called self-help or self-improvement method. Just as regular exercise has proved to be the most powerful medicine for depression, so has meditation become the most potent treatment for what can only be called cognition on steroids. 

The thing is that meditation doesn't even require as much time or energy as does physical activity. As little as 15 minutes a day is sufficient to realize substantial benefit. 

Just find a quiet place where you're not likely to be disturbed, sit or recline (sitting helps avoid nodding off), and focus your awareness on your breathing. Inhale and exhale fully, but don't strain. When your mind wanders (it will), just bring it back to your breathing. No foul. 

Some folks find it helps to repeat a phrase in their mind in sync with their breathing, such as "Be here (on inhale) now (on exhale)." Others just use one word, such as peace or calm. 

Use a timer, maybe with a pleasant chime at the end, so you don't need to wonder about the clock. Set it for 15 to 20 minutes. Meditate. 

First,Elegant A-Line Floor-length Halter Bridesmaid Dresses With Beautiful Crystal Floral Brooch for sale. there are the health benefits: reduced inflammation (associated with many ills), including enhanced immunity, decreased pain, fewer infections. Meditation makes optimal use of the mind-body connection and the power of thought to influence physical processes. 

Then there are the cognitive and emotional benefits: better concentration, improved memory, reduced stress and anxiety, less impulsivity, more confidence and so on. What exercise does for the body, meditation does for the brain and mind. 

In his recent visit to Madison,Weddings Accessories consists of accessories for the bride, flower girls, bridesmaid and other items such as cake and performances of wedding. the Dalai Lama asked us which is better: To have a healthy mind inside a physically ill or disabled body, or a healthy body harboring a mentally ill or disabled mind? I'll take the former. 

In our quest for wellness, we usually give more time and resources to body than to brain, and while both deserve our attention, without a healthy mind, the benefits of being physically fit are insufficient to create true well-being.

Pyithu Hluttaw representative for Thingangyun U Thein Nyunt,Weddings Accessories consists of accessories for the bride, flower girls, bridesmaid and other items such as cake and performances of wedding. who drafted the proposed changes,Elegant A-Line Floor-length Halter Bridesmaid Dresses With Beautiful Crystal Floral Brooch for sale. said the original intention of the law was to send politicians and student leaders to jail. 

“The [ostensible] aim is stated in section 3 … to build a modern and developed nation and to support electronic transactions technology. Practically, the offences and penalties stated in the law differ from this aim. The penalties in the law ...Best Beautiful A-Line Princess Beading Embroidery Satin White Wedding Dress With Bowknot Strap sale. are so strong and should be amended,” he said on August 21. 

The changes proposed by U Thein Nyunt would add several exemptions, including one on free speech, to section 33 of the law, which currently allows the state to imprison anybody using electronic devices to spread material that could be deemed anti-government. 

“The original provision is so broad that it can be used to target anyone,” he said. 

He also proposed punishments stipulated in the law – both fines and prison terms – be relaxed significantly. 

The law was introduced by the State Peace and Development Council in 2004 and contains 13 chapters and 52 sections. Over the past decade it has been used to jail a number of prominent activists, including comedian Zarganar, Pyithu Hluttaw representative Daw Sandar Min and 88 Generation leader Ko Ko Gyi. 

After the proposal was seconded, Deputy Minister for Communications and Information Technology U Thaung Tin voiced his support for the changes. 

“This proposal supplements the proposal submitted to the Pyithu Hluttaw on January 29 to annul the Electronic Transactions Law. At that time we agreed that the government should draw an E-commerce Law and amend offences and penalties [in the Electronic Transactions Law] in line with the current situation,” he said. 

“A committee has been formed with experts from the relevant ministries as well as businesspeople, IT technicians and other experts. It has started the process [of amending the law] and I believe that U Thein Nyunt’s proposal is suitable because it will move forward the [process],” he said. 

He said that when the bill committee considers the proposed amendments it should make sure they conform to the draft Telecommunications Law, which is being debated in the hluttaw, and should consult with his ministry. 

The bill committee should also “invite and discuss the changes with lawyers from the relevant government ministries, including those that bring about criminal charges”, he said.

The couple from Much Hoole, Preston, met at the Walmer Bridge pub where Sarah was working at the time. 

Sarah, a make-up artist,Each A1 Fashion Handbags is a piece of art, and it is definitely not not a bag you can buy at a supermarket. said: “Our good friend,Women Elegant Large Pearls Leather & Chain Multi-Layer Jewelry Necklace -US$ 21.99 | We Heart It. $22. Sold on ccchinachic.com. Buy. As seen in.Women Elegant Large Pearls Leather & Chain Multi-Layer Jewelry Necklace Richard Moon is landlord of the pub and I have known him since I was 16 years old but Chris and I had never met.” 

When the couple went on their first date on November 5, 2010, sparks flew – and it wasn’t just the fireworks. 

“We realised Chris was good friends with my uncle and cousin and had known my dad’s Scottish side of the family a long time. 

“He had even been on holidays to Canada with them.” 

A year later on October 2011, Sarah and Chris, a salesman originally from Penwortham, took a trip to Sarah’s parent’s home on the Isle of Arran. 

“There is a really romantic walk we like to do up in the hills of Kildonan where there is a man made hut we like to call the Fairy Hut and people write messages there and stick them around the room. 

“On our visit Chris drew around my hand and his and put the date we were there and stuck it on the wall.” 

Unbeknown to Sarah this was all part of a cunning plan. 

“In April 2012 we returned to Arran with my parents but I knew something was up,” says Sarah. “Before we set off my dad complained that his feet were hurting and would need to walk slow but as soon as I said we wouldn’t go on the walk he changed his tune. 

“As we arrived Chris jumped out the car and started walking up the hill with me and my Chihuahua, Missy, but as my mum and dad got left behind I began to get mad and shouted for Chris to wait. 

“Just was we reached the Fairy Hut, my parents were no where to be seen, I started to look for the handprints we had left last time and Chris started to tell me how much he loved me.” 

As Sarah turned around, Chris was on one knee asking her to be his wife. 

“I jumped on him and said yes and my parents met us – they had known for ages as Chris had asked my dad’s permission. 

“He said he drew around my hand so when I said yes he could put a ring on the drawing and the date of our engagement.” On May 25 the couple returned to Arran to marry at the Kildonan Hotel. “I wanted something different as, being a make-up artist,Everything Health and Beauty related can be found at ccchinachic.com. Learn how to take care of your health and beauty here. I have seen a lot of weddings as have my parents being wedding photographers,” says Sarah. 

“When my good friend Graham and Brian suggested Arran it got Chris and I thinking maybe the wedding should be there as we have so much history with the place. 

“Leading up to the wedding, nothing was going right,” says Sarah, “even the ferry was cancelled on the Thursday and it was so cold. 

“By Friday the sun was shining and on the day of the wedding the weather was amazing – very hot.” 

The couple were married overlooking the lake at the hotel. “When I got there I was shaking so much, I have never been as nervous,” says Sarah. 

“As I held my dad’s hand he reassured me that I would be OK.” She adds, “It was our dream wedding. Thank you so much to my mum and dad.”

Princeton University researchers have tried to integrate electronic circuit inside walls and such structures. The researchers have embedded very thin radios on plastic sheets, which can be applied to walls. The transistors for the electronic circuit is built using a kind of similar to printing technology and plastic electronics and they are built at low temperature of 300°C. 

"These transistors do not perform nearly as well as the ones that Intel would make on one of its chips," Sturm said. "In fact,Elegant A-Line Floor-length Halter Bridesmaid Dresses With Beautiful Crystal Floral Brooch for sale. if you tried to make the radio with a circuit that Intel would use, but with our transistors on plastic, it simply would not work." 

The research students Naveen Verma, Liechao Huang,Best Beautiful A-Line Princess Beading Embroidery Satin White Wedding Dress With Bowknot Strap sale. Warren Rieutort-Louis, Yingzhe Hu and Josue Sanz Robinson have used a super-regenerative circuit to manage with the poor performance of the amorphous silicon transistors made by them. 

"Essentially, you take the electrons and you slosh them back and forth between the inductor and capacitor, and the rate of this sloshing does not depend on getting electrons through the transistor — that means we can operate at frequencies that in some way are not limited by the transistors," Verma said. "But the key is to not lose very many electrons during this sloshing, because every electron you lose needs to be compensated through those transistors. So you need very high-quality capacitors and inductors.Weddings Accessories consists of accessories for the bride, flower girls, bridesmaid and other items such as cake and performances of wedding."

With an eye on reducing wedding expenses, a 'khap panchayat' of 12 villages in Bhiwani district of Haryana has imposed a ban on its residents from having lunch or dinner at marriage parties. The 'khap panchayat' (caste council) took this decision at its meeting held at Kadma village on the Jhhoju-Dadri road in Bhiwani district on Wednesday. 

The panchayat presided over by former village head Randhir Singh also prohibited organisation of 'Kaaj' ceremony in the villages stating that it is not reasonable to serve sweets and other eatables to villagers after death of elderly persons. 

'Kaaj' is a ritual which is performed by most people in Haryana when their elderly kin die a natural death.

A shoe retailer on Belfast’s Lisburn Road has claimed a landlord’s failure to negotiate on rent has led him to decide to close with the loss of three jobs. 

Gavin Dunlop of Moda said he had traded for 11 years but could no longer afford to pay rent at the level of ￡30,000 per year required by the owner of the shop. 

The shop, which sells international brands, is due to shut on October 31.

He said his landlord,Each A1 Fashion Handbags is a piece of art, and it is definitely not not a bag you can buy at a supermarket. Douglas Huston Estate Agents, should adopt the same practical approach and negotiate. 

“I have had to completely change my pricing structure and drop an awful lot of brands,” Mr Dunlop said. 

“I travel to Spain and I now go to factories, sourcing my handbags and shoes directly. 

“I have had to restructure my whole business because the prices we had six or seven years ago, we can no longer charge.” 

Mr Dunlop said he had commissioned a valuation of the shop’s rental value, and was told its rent should be set at around ￡14,000 per year given the size of the shop and the present economic climate. 

The businessman said that the landlord had offered a rent reduction to ￡25,000 per year which Mr Dunlop said was not enough. 

Mr Dunlop, who has also taken to Twitter to express his annoyance, said his landlords in Newtownards and Ballymena had agreed to a rent reduction. 

“Everybody else is happy to work with me and know I work so hard on trying to keep my business going,” he said. 

Gareth Gibson of estate agent Douglas Huston said he could not comment, and that the matter was being handled by his solicitors, who were not available for comment.

South Western Superintendent Barbara Rupp remembers when, three years ago, a middle school student remarked that all the power she had was held captive in her locker. 

She couldn't use her cell phone,Elegant A-Line Floor-length Halter Bridesmaid Dresses With Beautiful Crystal Floral Brooch for sale. and the school provided the only access to electronic learning tools. 

Rupp and her colleagues realized they needed to make a change: Gone were the days of electronic-free classrooms. Instead, it was time to embrace the technology that students use at home. 

Last year was the first that South Western and several other York County school districts began a Bring Your Own Device pilot program,Best Beautiful A-Line Princess Beading Embroidery Satin White Wedding Dress With Bowknot Strap sale. or BYOD.

This is the year of the wedding.Online shopping for Sports & Outdoors at ccchinachic.com.Sports & Outdoor Our contemporaries’ children are getting married right and left. On Sunday we traveled to Seattle for a double engagement party of two sisters whom we’ve known since their birth at the hospital of which my wife was director of nursing. Our daughter, who will be married late this year, joined us. 

Weddings and their attendant festivities are about family, of course. But also about extended networks of friends. We joined Seattlites in our friends’ intimate backyard, and many of them had links to our years in Washington, D.C. 

One of our friends’ daughters and her fiance said they are attending 10 weddings this year. 

Arriving in Seattle by train was a special thrill because King Street Station’s restoration is complete. After years of creeping progress and frequent stops, the magnificent railway station interior is a jaw dropper. As the long stream of passengers walked from our train into the station, many of us stopped to gaze upward at the coffered ceiling, the custom chandelier and the exquisite mosaics around the base of supporting columns. 

During its two decades of restoration,‘Wintersweet’ Pendant Sterling Silver Necklace Elegant Jewelry Necklace on sale at reasonable prices. being in King Street Station was depressing. You had the feeling you should be prepared to step over a hazard as you navigated the expansive waiting area. 

To those of us outside Seattle, it was a mystery why this project took so long. After all, Seattle is loaded with wealth, and it is well wired into Olympia and Washington, D.C. 

But all’s well that ends well. 

As KMUN progresses through its late summer fundraiser, I am reminded that jazz is my strongest tie to the station. Every time I hear Chis Gilde, Ben Hunt or Ron Baldwin I am thankful for their store of jazz lore and their wide-ranging musical tastes. The occasional jazz show hostings by Josh Marquis and Roger Rocka are special treats. When Roger hosts, it’s like having a supper club in your kitchen. 

We indulged our jazz enthusiasms while in Seattle by hearing the Stanley Clarke Band at Jazz Alley. Clarke is a fixture in the contemporary jazz pantheon, and he wisely endures by an infusion of young blood. Clarke told the Seattle audience that his drummer on Sunday night was 19. His piano player was 29. 

Clarke plucks the bass like it is a guitar.

One of the important challenges in electrical engineering is to make smaller and more complicated electrical circuits. In this pursuit, University of Pennsylvania researchers have taken a drastically different route — they replace electricity with light, which would enable them to go to much smaller dimensions of circuitry. 

A recent paper in the journal, Physical Review Letters, brings this advancement to the public eye. Dubbed “metatronics” by the discoverer Nader Engheta, who is a professor in the electrical engineering department of University of Pennsylvania, this is a nascent field in electrical engineering and the discovery described in the paper is a milestone in this field. 

The “meta” in metatronics is inspired by metamaterials which refers to nanoscale patterns and structures embedded in materials and allowing manipulation of incident waves. In metatronics, cross-sections of nanorods and the spaces between them form patterns that mimic the behaviour of resistors, capacitors and inductors. 

These patterns respond to light the way capacitors, resistors and inductors do to electricity. 

In 2005, Engheta’s group published a theoretical paper outlining how optical circuit elements can work, because, after all,Retro Texture Jewelry Necklace Colorful Flowers Purple Drills Fashion Necklace sell well. electric circuits and optics both obey Maxwell’s equations. What was proposed theoretically by them was realised in an experiment in 2012, with their first demonstration of “lumped” optical circuit elements using silicon nitride. This was published in the journal, Nature Materials. While this was in itself a stunning experiment, the light they could manipulate was in the mid-infrared region and not in the near-infrared region where most fibre optic devices work. 

Now the group has come out with a paper in Physical Review Letters in which they report that they have built the first metatronic circuit elements from indium tin oxide which work for near-infrared light. This again, is in the domain of functioning of fibre-optic devices and much closer to being exploited as technology. 

The future for this discovery is rich as there remains a lot to be done before this can be made viable. Of course, the technology lying in wait is exciting to say the least.

There’s lots of talk about shoe collections and women’s love of shoe shopping these days. But there’s another fashion accessory women love,High quality Ladies Candy-colored Skinny Casual Low-Rise Stretch Jean Denim Shorts sale. too: handbags. From clutches to totes, purse collections have expanded so much that storing your favorite handbags means more than tossing them on a shelf. And with the rising price of purses,Here are some Home Products and items which contain carcinogens. It is best to avoid these products in your home. storing them well protects your investment. 

Helpful hints 

Because purses vary in size, it’s a good idea to use different ways to store them. One of the most important ways to store your purses is to keep them upright on a shelf. Take a tip from department stores and always keep your purses filled with wadded paper. This not only keeps them standing, but also helps maintain their structure. To make getting the paper in and out easier when you change bags, try putting paper in the dust cover that your purse came with. 

If your purse didn’t come with a dust cover, stuff the paper inside a plastic bag and put the whole thing into your purse. This way, when you’re ready to switch purses, you can pull the whole bag of paper out easily rather than unstuffing it one wad of paper at a time. Make sure, though, that you get stuffing pushed into the bottom corners of the handbag, so they don’t crimp. The bottom corners are natural spots for handbags to lose their structure. 

To cover or uncover 

Chances are if your handbags were designer, they came with a fabric or felt drawstring bag to protect them. The problem with these covers is that they make the handbags hard to see. Having a dust cover protects bags from scratches and dust, but makes finding a handbag less convenient.Women Black And White Striped Stretch Low-Waist Denim Short/Hot Pant from china manufacturer.

Millionaire gay couple the Drewitt-Barlows have confirmed they have launched a legal challenge to the right of churches to opt out of gay weddings. 

In fresh comments published by the Chelmsford Weekly News in the U.K. today, Barrie Drewitt-Barlow said legal action had started. 

“We’ve launched a challenge to the government’s decision to allow some religious groups to opt out of marrying same-sex couples," he said. 

“We feel we have the right as parishioners in our village to utilize the church we attend to get married. 

“It is no reflection on our local church, who have been nothing but supportive towards us. We understand their hands are tied by a higher group of people within the church.” 

Earlier this month, Drewitt-Barlow said he and his civil partner, Tony, would go to court to force gay weddings on churches. 

He said at the time, “The only way forward for us now is to make a challenge in the courts against the church. 

“It is a shame that we are forced to take Christians into a court to get thWomen Elegant Large Pearls Leather & Chain Multi-Layer Jewelry Necklace -US$ 21.99 | We Heart It. $22.

It is amazing how much of a difference the right toothbrush can make. Most people are still using a traditional, manual toothbrush even though they have proven to be less effective than their electric counterparts. The primary reason people are hesitant to switch over to an electric toothbrush is cost. It is important to remember the long-term savings of quality dental hygiene far outweigh the initial cost of an LED toothbrush. There are a number of health and beauty reasons to make the switch. 

A red LED light on a toothbrush is a great way to help the mouth heal. Light near infrared rays can treat scars, cuts, and injury to the skin on the gums. It has also been shown to imEach A1 Fashion Handbags is a piece of art, and it is definitely not not a bag you can buy at a supermarket.prove tooth sensitivity and increase blood circulation by stimulating surrounding skin cells. In total, the collagen and elastin creation can be increased by more than 150%. 

A white LED light on an toothbrush can provide anti-inflammation benefits. It has been shown to effectively battle bacteria on the skin responsible for a number of maladies. Using a similar approach, a white LED light can create oxygen used to enhance teeth whitening.

It can also help minimize gum bleeding. 

Along with the benefits of using LED lights, there are also the benefits of an toothbrush to consider. The most important benefit is an electric toothbrush consistently cleans teeth more thoroughly than manual brushing.Everything Health and Beauty related can be found at ccchinachic.com. Learn how to take care of your health and beauty here. This is because the bristles move faster and utilize a more advanced design to reach crevices traditional toothbrushes can’t clean. This is why these toothbrushes are documented to prevent cavities and gingivitis better than a regular toothbrush. 

Another reason to use an LED toothbrush is it eliminates the risk of brushing too hard. It is surprising how many people brush too hard because they think it will get their teeth cleaner. The truth is brushing too hard can severely damage the gums. It can also remove enamel which leads to more sensitivity to heat and cold. 

The final reason to consider using an LED electric toothbrush is it takes all of the guesswork out of proper dental hygiene. It is recommended that individuals brush their teeth for at least two minutes. Some of these toothbrushes come equipped with a built-in timer. It will indicate how long to brush each of the four quadrants of the mouth.

Rotorua Museum played a part in New Zealand history as two couples cemented their love in two of the country's first same-sex marriages. 

There were cheers as marriage licences for Rachel Briscoe and Jess Ivess, from the Bay of Islands, and Richard Rawstorn and Richard Andrew, from Christchurch, arrived at the Rotorua Museum at 8.35am yesterday. 

The couples were married in a ceremony organised by The Edge radio station and broadcast live on radio and TV.Each A1 Fashion Handbags is a piece of art, and it is definitely not not a bag you can buy at a supermarket.

The weddings are among the first same-sex marriages to have taken place around the country yesterday as a new law legalising gay marriages came into force. 

Friends and family of the two couples had travelled from the UK and from across the country to celebrate the historic occasion. 

"It was incredible to be a part of this," said The Edge presenter Mike Puru. 

"One of the beautiful things about today is the support of friends and family; for them to witness that true love being brought to life in front of the country." 

The couples were chosen after a nationwide competition. They spent a week in Rotorua planning their weddings, hosting their hen and stag dos and enjoying some of the region's activities and attractions. 

After the ceremony Jess said she was relieved it was over. 

"It was completely nerve-wracking," she said. "It's been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster. My favourite part was seeing Rachel come down the aisle, I had to hold my tears back." 

Rachel said she found it overwhelming. 

"I'm a little bit lost for words, seeing all our friends and family who we love and having a beautiful woman waiting for me." 

"I join my life to yours as your friend, your lover and your confidante," Richard Andrew said to Richard Rawstorn.Retro Texture Jewelry Necklace Colorful Flowers Purple Drills Fashion Necklace sell well.

Saks reported a larger-than-expected second-quarter loss on Monday after disappointing sales of shoes and handbags forced it to reduce prices. 

Saks, the luxury retailer that agreed last month to be acquired by Hudson’s Bay Company of Canada for $2.4 billion, reported that sales at stores open at least a year rose 1.5 percent, well below the 4.5 percent increase Wall Street analysts had predicted. 

Stephen I.｛%｝ brings wireless dealers and retailers lower prices than any other wholesaler. All products available at online store.cell phone accessories wholesale Sadove, chief executive of Saks, acknowledged in a statement that “our sales growth was modestly below our expectations.” 

Saks is the latest retailer across the price spectrum to report mediocre sales. Last week, Macy’s, Nordstrom, Kohl’s and Wal-Mart Stores all reported lower-than-expected sales. 

Overall sales at Saks rose just 0.5 percent to $707.8 million for the quarter. 

Gross profit margin fell because Saks had too much inventory of shoes and handbags and cut prices to clear unsold merchandise. 

For the quarter that ended Aug. 3, Saks reported a net loss of $19.6 million, or 13 cents a share,Weddings Accessories consists of accessories for the bride, flower girls, bridesmaid and other items such as cake and performances of wedding. compared with a net loss of $12.3 million, or 8 cents a share,Elegant A-Line Floor-length Halter Bridesmaid Dresses With Beautiful Crystal Floral Brooch for sale. a year earlier.

Saks, which is based in New York, had been scheduled to report its earnings on Tuesday. The company did not hold its regular earnings conference call with analysts and investors because of its pending acquisition by Hudson’s Bay, the owner of Lord & Taylor. 

Shares of Saks closed little changed at $15.97, down 5 cents or 0.31 percent, and just below the $16 a share in cash that Hudson’s Bay is offering.

If you don't like to be stared at, don't bother to wear up-to-the-minute accessories this season. This spring and summer's accessories promise to be real eye-catchers - at least for women. 

If you are on the lookout for a new necklace, bracelet or bag, you will need to be brave as the accessories palette is very colourful this season. But be careful how much colour you wear. 

"You should restrict yourself to just one extravagant item otherwise you're going to look over the top," says personal shopper Sonja Grau. The loud colours contrast with the soft, pastel colours of this season's clothing. 

Along with a handbag, jewellery will be the most important accessory this summer. 

Shopping adviser Simone Piskol recommends purchasing a striking necklace that lies quite tight on your neck. Sonja Grau agrees. 

"The trend this season is for small but stunning necklaces," she says. Gold, silver and other metals are on trend along with brightly coloured necklaces. 

An alternative is to choose a long necklace. "It should be wound around the neck several times," says Grau. 

Stylist Maria Hans says you can also go for a long necklace with a big pendant. 

Hans says bangles and bracelets are going to be very brightly coloured, and several different coloured bangles can be piled on your wrist at the same time.Everything Health and Beauty related can be found at ccchinachic.com. Learn how to take care of your health and beauty here. 

Colours also dominate the new bag collections this season, which have a distinctly angular appearance. 

"What's very noticeable are the clear lines. Handbags this season are not soft but stiff with sharp corners," says fashion consultant Martin Wuttke. 

Designers have put a lot of small format bags on the market in A5 paper size. Wuttke says these bags typically have small straps to be carried in your hand, not slung over your shoulder. 

Men can look forward to small seaman's bags, over-the-shoulder bags and rectangular weekend bags this season. Wuttke says one trend will be a new interpretation of the classic leather shoulder bag, also for women, but they should choose a bright coloured bag.

An all-white dress hangs in Shawn Moret’s closet. She wore it once at the lakes. 

It’s on-trend for fall. If she’d just pull on a jacket, she could wear the dress well into winter. 

But it’s just one of those things Moret wished she hadn’t bought. She’s left wondering, “Where am I going to wear that?” 

It’s a question that usually keeps shoppers from buying “impractical” clothing in the first place, but sometimes, it’s fun to dream that an occasion will arise, calling for that fashion-forward outfit. 

Some trends seen on the runway never make their way to the Midwest. And it’s up to boutique owners to find what fits the market. 

“Everyone looks at (the runway styles) and tones them down for the Midwest,” said Judy Martin-Alioth, owner of The Ugly Sister Boutique, 516 Fifth St. “Just how far you want to go is to each boutique owner’s liking.” 

While brightly colored fur coats graced the catwalk, a tamer version is likely to appear around Siouxland with accent pieces instead of an all-over effect. 

Martin-Alioth brought the trend to her downtown store with a one-of-a-kind gray sweater coat, embellished with sequins, silk flowers and tufts of fur. It was a “safe” choice. 

And it was in line with her personal style, which she describes as being toned down with a pop of personality fashionably displayed with accessories. 

Dressing on-point for fall can be achieved with relative ease compared to some trends for summer like Lucite heels, mixing prints and funky florals. 

“Typically, in fall and winter, looks become more conservative in terms of prints and colors,” said Laura Yoder, fashion and beauty blogger at 24-7 Style. “The bold patterns and neon hues, for instance, that took over our summer looks will be much more muted.” 

Even so, boutique owners like Martin-Alioth can’t afford to be careless in choosing which trends to stock in their stores. Sometimes that means erring on the side of caution and resisting the urge to buy that trendy velvet dress, leather skirt or tons of menswear-inspired clothing. 

Moret recognized some of the challenges faced by these small businesses and wanted to help. 

“They’re owned by women who are risk-takers, and they’re making fashion choices,” she said. “Every time they make a choice, it’s a risk.” 

Moret loves to shop. She’s also a marketing and website design specialist based in Sheldon, Iowa. 

In June, she took both interests and created SiouxlandFashionGirls.com and a Facebook page to promote clothing boutiques around the area. She’s in the process of planning monthly shopping poker runs, complete with food and fashion. 

Martin-Alioth, a boutique owner who joined the initiative, said she’s looking forward to moving summer items out of the store and stocking fall trends she thinks Siouxland shoppers will buy. 

She went online and carefully selected carts full of merchandise from her favorite brands for the upcoming season, including sweaters with big round buttons, fur trim and cape-like silhouettes. 

Oversized tops ruled the runway, especially for outerwear. And sweaters sent a message: the bigger, the better. 

Martin-Alioth kept with the trend and added a few of those styles to her online shopping cart. 

While some designers had models wearing leopard print from head to toe, you won’t find that look at The Ugly Sister Boutique. But you might find a few sheer leopard-print tops in shades of purple and brown. 

“You have to mute everything down for the Midwest,” Martin-Alioth said. 

Well, not everything. She still loves statement jewelry and handbags. 

Across town, Kristi Pittman paged through People magazine on a Friday afternoon and pointed to celebrities wearing leather bottoms. 

“It’s going to be popular,” she said with a smile. 

The owner of A La Mode, 4301 Sergeant Road, goes to markets in Dallas and Chicago, where she buys styles for fall and winter about six months ahead of time. She ordered items with lots of leather, not knowing if the trend would catch on in the Midwest.Everything Health and Beauty related can be found at ccchinachic.com. Learn how to take care of your health and beauty here. 

That’s when she just hopes, “Oh please, oh please, let it come to Sioux City.” 

Pittman has a pretty good idea of what her customers want, but she likes to bring in some items that push the bounds a bit. 

She had oversized sweaters in the store that could easily be paired with the floral and lace print leggings she had on hand. 

“Anything with a print is going to be a risk,” she said. 

Still, Pittman packs some big-city style into her little boutique. She’s not afraid to go bold. 

“If I can wear this and I can rock it, I can sell it,” Pittman said while pulling out a blue Aztec print dress. “It’s trial and error for me. Some items you have to stay safe, some you take risks.”

She said after much praying and discussion, she decided to open the store July 27 to take advantage of the tax-free weekend. She is planning on holding a grand opening Aug. 31 with door prizes and a day-long 10 percent discount on items in the store. 

This is the first business endeavor for Norman-Wright, but she said that there is a need for a boutique like this in Lexington. 

"There are a lot of places in town who sell clothes and accessories, but no place that is just for scarves, purses, necklaces and things like that,Each A1 Fashion Handbags is a piece of art, and it is definitely not not a bag you can buy at a supermarket." she said. "I wanted a place that offered something for all budgets." 

Norman-Wright says that she may expand into shoes and clothing in the future, but for right now she is limited by her space and wants to make sure not to grow too far too fast. 

The boutique is operating on limited hours because Norman-Wright has a full-time job with the City of Lexington. She is closed Wednesdays and Sundays to attend church.Everything Health and Beauty related can be found at ccchinachic.com. Learn how to take care of your health and beauty here. 

Norman-Wright said the one thing she wants people to know is that her items may look expensive, but they are quite affordable. 

"I don't want people to be intimidated by the decor," she said. "My aim is to make high-end fashion affordable to all people."

Less than one week after Oroton announced a profit downgrade which sent the shares tumbling 10 per cent, the upmarket fashion retailer has announced the shock resignation of its long serving CEO Sally Macdonald and a reshuffle of its board. 

The company has also surprised investors with a new fashion joint venture with iconic US brand Brooks Brothers to help plug the earnings gap created by the loss of its flagship Ralph Lauren licence. 

Under the deal, Oroton will hold a majority 51 per cent in a joint venture company for an initial term of 10 years, with a five-year renewal option, with the first four to eight stores and possibly department store concessions to open at the beginning of 2014. 

But the new brand will not have the leadership of Ms Macdonald who will leave the retailer after seven years at the helm. 

Oroton announced to the Australian Securities Exchange this morning that Ms Macdonald would step down immediately but work through a brief transition period as the new CEO Mark Newman takes over. 

No explanation was given for her departure. 

Last week Oroton, which sells a portfolio of expensive handbags, shoes and clothing, said it was preparing its 2012-13 financial results and expected group earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) to be roughly $40 million. 

This result will include a $5 million one-off gain made from the loss of its licence agreement with fashion label Ralph Lauren, as its balance sheet and provisions were reassessed.Weddings Accessories consists of accessories for the bride, flower girls, bridesmaid and other items such as cake and performances of wedding. 

It said it expected its earnings to fall sharply again in 2014 as it searched for a new fashion label to make up for the lost earnings from Ralph Lauren which accounted for 45 per cent of group sales and 35 per cent of net profits. 

New Oroton boss Mr Newman, who has more than 25 years experience in the luxury apparel market, will have a huge task ahead of him to resuscitate the company’s earnings and strike new fashion licence deals. 

Mr Newman joined Oroton in 2010 as vice president of Ralph Lauren Australia and New Zealand and has also led Oroton’s big push into Asia where the company now has six shops and is looking to grow further. 

Other board changes were also announced this morning. Oroton executive chairman Ross Lane will become a non-executive director, John Schmoll will become the new chairman and director Eddy Chieng has been appointed chairman of the audit committee. 

Meanwhile, the deal with Brooks Brothers will see Oroton expand the business in Australia where the US label already has sales of $1 million a year from its online store. Brooks Brothers has no bricks and mortar stores currently in Australia. 

Started in 1818, Brooks Brothers has an established reputation in its home market where it has been the clothier to 39 out of 44 US presidents as well as famous businessmen, politicians and recently supplied the majority of costumes for Baz Luhrmann’s film, ‘‘The Great Gatsby’’. 

Under the deal, Oroton will open as many as eight stores by next year with further stores to follow. The new joint venture between Oroton and Brooks Brothers is expected to generate $3 million in sales in fiscal 2014 rising to roughly $50 million in the fifth year of business.

Ty Conger said police found the two boys had walked into two houses — one in the 1400 block of Croghan Street and another in the 1800 block of McPherson Boulevard — and attempted to steal an estimated $700 worth of cash, tablets and other electronics. 

Conger said the property was accounted for and stored in evidence until the case is cleared. 

The juveniles were each charged with two counts of burglary, obstructing official business, criminal trespassing and possession of criminal tools. 

“Even if you leave your house during the day, it’s important to keep your doors and windows locked at all times,” Conger said. “You never know when someone is going to come by and try to get in. It only takes five minutes for someone to get in there and steal hundreds of dollars worth of valuables.”

Since the downturn in the USA economy many people have had to cut back on their spending. The recession had decreased consumer confidence and many Americans could no longer afford large ticket designer products such as designer handbags. When American women were surveyed before the recession, many were spending a large portion of their budget on luxury goods. Almost 90% of respondents said that they had to lower their spending when the recession hit. 

We asked the question on how people were responding to their new budgets and many stated that they were purchasing replica handbags.Everything Health and Beauty related can be found at ccchinachic.com.

After being shown some replica handbags which were then compared to the originals, it was clear that they were made of superior quality and they had been crafted with high quality leather. The people interviewed showed us brands of handbags including Hermes, Celine and Louis Vuitton. Louis Vuitton replica handbags are the most popular among designer handbag shoppers.

A specialist prescribed Diamox, a diuretic that is typically used for short-term treatment, to control his eye pressure and preserve the little sight remaining in his left eye. But the monthly prescription cost is expensive – about $1,000 without insurance and $100 with assistance. It’s also unpleasant. 

Aside from some nausea, the worst side effect is “extreme” ringing in the ears, he said. It makes it almost impossible to listen to anything. 

“That in and of itself is enough to make my one past time unenjoyable,” he said. “That’s why I decided to try the marijuana.” 

When he mentioned the desire to use cannabis during casual conversation, a longtime friend mentioned connections to a supplier. The 60-year-old would never have considered it during employment – his former job had strict policies regarding drug use – but his disability made him jobless. 

He did not want to support drug cartels or smoke pot with pesticides or other potentially unsafe chemicals, so it reassured him to know his friend bought the marijuana legally in another state. He accepted the offer that day.

A new approach to TV talk shows 




A new approach to TV talk shows 

Five women sitting around talking has become a TV staple. Five women talking, each of whom is either black, Asian or Latino, is something different. 

It’s the approach tested by two shows: The Real and Exhale.

“It’s something we don’t really talk about. ... We just picked who’s best for the show. We didn’t say, ‘Where’s our white one?’” Salsano said. 

The difference in The Real, she said, is generational. Other female-centric talk shows like The View, the genre groundbreaker when Barbara Walters launched it in 1997, tend toward older hosts with more settled lives and perspectives. 

As a 39-year-old woman with friends who are single like her or dealing with the ups and downs of married life, Salsano said, “There’s no one who represents me on any of those” other shows. 

Relationships, child-rearing and other challenges “are topics these girls are living,” she said of The Real hosts. 

Exactly, said Braxton, an R&B singer and star of the WE channel’s reality show Tamar & Vince. 

“I’m a big fan of The View and The Talk, but with The Real, it’s my generation,” whether the topic is pop culture or a candid take on daily life, she said. In a discussion of childbirth, “We really got honest with the audience. I didn’t have the best experience. ... You only hear the good side” elsewhere on TV.
