Has been independently consulting since March 2016, and is an active Council Member with GLG Research Group. Anne's expertise in US domestic and foreign crude oil trading, comes from her 30+ years at Morgan Stanley as an Executive Director in the commodities department. During her time at Morgan Stanley she was instrumental in building their physical crude oil business, working closely with the sales and marketing desks within the commodities department as well as with the rest of the bank where crude oil expertise was called upon. She traded both paper swaps, futures and physical oil. This involved the supply of crude oil to refineries that were part of financing deals and traded a spec book in the US Domestic Basis market and Brent/WTI market based on research and arbitrage opportunities. Over the years she developed profitable trading strategies for West African and North Sea crude oil by developing longs and shorts to US and other global refining systems. She was involved in coordinating shipping logistics and collaborating with the freight department. She helped to identify refinery financing deals and pipeline inventory transactions working with the Structured Products Group as well as directly through her extensive relationships in the crude oil industry. Her career began at Cargill as an operations coordinator for the Petrochemical business and then as a operations coordinator in Crude Oil Trading which led to her becoming a trader in the early 80's before moving to Morgan Stanley. She is a C.W. Post graduate, receiving their Distinguished Alumni Award in 2001.

Sculptor. After apprenticeship to a wood-carver he became an independent carver of religious images. In 1960 he began to study modern sculpture and from 1968 to 1976 was assistant to Yang Yingfeng, who worked chiefly in metal. Meanwhile he took up taiji. He became an independent sculptor working in a wide range of materials, including wood, bronze, styrofoam, ceramics and glass. He has had many public commissions, and his work has been exhibited round the Place Vendôme in Paris and on the terrace of the Festival Hall, London.
Sent to K & MS by the artist from Taipei in about 1990.

Gentle exfoliation for the most sensitive skin.
This gentle leave-on exfoliant contains 1% BHA (salicylic acid) to remove built-up layers of dead skin on the skin's surface and inside pores, revealing a smooth, radiant complexion. Perfect for sensitive skin, this lightweight lotion includes soothing plant extracts to calm and hydrate skin.
Apply once or twice daily after cleansing and toning. Apply a coin-sized amount over the entire face, including the eyes (avoid the lower lash line and eyelids). Do not rinse. For daytime, always follow with a moisturiser containing a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 30 or greater. Allergic to aspirin (acetylsalicylate)? Do not use this product as it contains salicylic acid (BHA).
Really like this exfoliant for dry, sensitive and acne-prone skin. I alternate between this and 2% bha lotion since the 2% bha lotion can cause dryness on my skin. I like this one's texture better than 2% lotion, this is more like a lotion and the 2% bha is gel/emulsion type (and no im not talking about the bha gel). Great exfoliant with moisturizing effect! Pros: i can use this with retinol products also without flakyness and dryness.
I use exfoliant usually every three nights. Normally I have used 2% BHA liquid but now I alternate between these two. With retinol and exfoliants my skin can occasionally become flaky so I have to keep an eye on my skin' s condition. I wouldn't give up on exfoliants because they have helped to get rid of oiliness, diminished blackheads and made my skin smoother. Also with Paula's choice products my rosacea-prone skin looks calm nowadays and gets red more rarely. This exfoliant feels like serum or light moisturizer. I really like to use this one.
This exfoliant has a wunderful, light lotionlike texture. I had to start by using it every other day because my skin startled to flake a bit in the beginning. Now that I'm used to it and have been using it for a while, I have noticed that my sensitive rosacea-prone skin has become more even, All pimples are gone and my skin is calmer.
I was really excited about trying this product since I have skin prone to redness. Unfortunately my skin is even worse now after trying this for about 1,5 week. After applying it my skin feels super tight and dry, like my skin is one size to small and the redness increased. I really wanted to give it a fair try but I have to give up now after these days since my face burns and sting.

What is the difference between Calm 1% BHA Lotion Exfoliant and Skin Perfecting 1% BHA Lotion?
The Calm formula has a broader mix of ingredients chosen for their anti-inflammatory effect, so is ideal if you struggle with redness and extra-sensitive skin. Both have lightweight, silky lotion textures and can be used by all skin types.
What strength BHA should I use? Will a higher concentration provide better results?
Which BHA strength you opt to use should be based on your skin type and the stubbornness (or severity) of your spots or blackheads. For reddened, extra-sensitive skin, the 1% BHA strength is a great starting point to see how using a BHA can improve the skin's condition. This strength may be all you need, or, in the future, if your skin responds well you can consider a higher strength BHA.


Though the pros took off from Lake Barkley for the second stop of the Costa FLW Series Central Division, most of them ended up running over into Kentucky Lake for their fish. Kentucky Lake in June means ledge fishing, and as such the pros employed a pretty standard array of offshore producers.
1. Local angler Jake Lawrence won his first FLW event Saturday with an impressive three-day catch of 72-4. Most of his fish came from one spot and most came on one bait: a V&M J-Mag Worm in red bug. Lawrence also added some fish on a custom hair jig, a Castaic Jerky J, a football jig and a spoon.
2. Michigan's Garrett Paquette arrived for the Costa FLW Series event on Lake Barkley and had one of the poorest practice sessions of his life. He rallied to finish second, mostly on the strength of a ¾-ounce Queen Tackle Hammerhead Rattlin Football Jig and a 6th Sense Cloud 9 C20 Deep Diver.
3. Mike Roller stuck with a drop-shot with a 6-inch Roboworm Straight Tail Worm (morning dawn) or a Zoom Z3 Swamp Crawler in pro blue neon.
4. Marcus Sykora also leaned on a drop-shot and says he used a Zoom Swamp Crawler for it. Sykora also rotated in a few other ledge baits and says that a 5-inch Zoom Swimmer was chief among them.
5. Local pro Ramie Colson Jr., focused on Lake Barkley and unlike almost everyone else, he abandoned the ledge bite and focused on brush in creeks with a Zoom Ol' Monster in plum apple anchored by a ½-ounce weight.
6. Tournament veteran Andy Morgan "bounced around" Lake Barkley picking up bass with a plum-colored Zoom Ol' Monster and a War Eagle Flipping Jig with a Zoom Z Craw trailer.
7. Local stick Brandon Hunter says he relied on a 7-inch Jenko Tremor Shad on a Scrounger head and a big Lucky Craft RTO 3.5XD crankbait in aurora citrus caught his kickers on day one.
8. Cody Harrison primarily relied on a Zoom Magnum Trick Worm in raspberry shad and a True Bass Hollow Body Perfect Head to haul in 52-11 and land in eighth place.
9. Adam Craig enjoyed a top 10 finish in only his second FLW event largely on the strength of ¾-ounce Omega Football Jig. He also used a 6-inch Basstrix Paddle Tail Swimbait.
10. Stacy King kept things simple. The veteran angler caught all of his fish on a big shaky head with a 6-inch Bass Pro Shops Stik-O Worm in blue craw.
