Beauty News & Gossip 14/06/16: Jaclyn Hill SCANDAL, Urban Decay, Colourpop, Lime Crime & More!
So first up this week – I have to address the Becca X Jaclyn Hill Eyeshadow Palette SCANDAL!
After the very exciting and hyped up release of Becca and Jaclyn's range of collaboration products, including a face palette and an eyeshadow palette, all hell has broken loose. For those who haven't heard, basically an eagle eyed beauty fanatic who's particularly fond of Becca eyeshadows noticed that the shadows in the Jaclyn Eyeshadow palette just weren't up to Becca's usual high standards.
Customers then started to come forward and complain about the poor quality of the eyeshadows. Becca then admitted that there was in fact issues with the palette and stopped all sales, and Sephora have also been refunding customers that had already purchased it.
As if this wasn't bad enough, Jaclyn then proceeded to throw Becca under the bus, so to speak, by saying on Snapchat (so I've heard) that she didn't want to make the eyeshadow palette in the first place, and she didn't really have much to do with the creation process – completely contradicting a previous YT video where she announced the collaboration products and told viewers that she was hands on from start to finish, and that this was an even collaboration between herself and Becca. Jaclyn has now deleted this video, and I have to say it all seems pretty dodgy to me.
And one final note on the matter… What about all the Youtubers and 'Influencers' (I really hate that word) that were sent these products to try before the public launch – there wasn't one negative review of Jaclyn's eyeshadow palette! They all said how amazing, how pigmented, how buttery soft and smooth the shadows were – so were they possibly telling fibs to keep the brand happy??
There's some food for thought anyway – please do let me know what you think about this!
Though I'm personally not really interested in Kylie Jenner's makeup range, I know it's incredibly popular, so fans will be excited to hear about the new shade Majesty which is a metallic black with blue undertones. It will be available to purchase on 16/06/16.
And yes it's Jeffree Star again! Even though he's just launched a bunch of products, his Lip Ammunition Lipsticks – in satin and glitter finishes and a brand new Highlighter shade, Lavender Snow will also be available very soon.
And while I'm on the subject of Jeffree Star, one of my favourite Youtubers who will always call a spade a spade, Stephanie Nicole has recently posted a product and brand review on Jeffree – it's a long video but it's definitely worth a watch.
Favourite US budget beauty brand Colourpop also has some pretty awesome new products coming out. So far they've been all about the colour cosmetics, but they're now launching a range of highlighter and contour sticks. At only $5.00 each they're a complete bargain!
Controversial beauty brand Lime Crime have also just launched their Superfoil Water Activated Metallic Eyeshadow Duos, which look pretty amazing! These duos contain a brand new eyeshadow formulation that just requires a spritz of water to activate it. The result is a super high shine foil finish. This product is available in six different duos, which are £12.71 each from Lime Crime.
And lastly, Urban Decay is launching yet another new palette! Forget about the Naked palettes, this time it's all about the metallics, the Moondust Palette will include eight new Moondust eyeshadows – I really can't wait for this one! I don't know when it will be available as yet, but I'll let you guys know as soon as I find out.

Trends & Indicators 2010: College Readiness
Fewer than half of New England students who finish high school have completed the necessary courses and mastered the skills to be considered "college ready." But New England states perform above the national norm on most indicators of college readiness.
In Massachusetts, a new "Vision Project" has five goals: increase the rate of high school graduates who attend college; increase the graduation and success rates at colleges; align degree programs with needs of businesses; become the national leader in academic achievements; and ensure that minority, poor and male and female students have comparable grades and graduation rates.
Most college-bound high school seniors in New England name health or business fields as their intended college majors.
The number of high school students declaring an interest in business fields has been declining since 2000, and has plunged in the past 18 months along with the perception of business professions during the nation's deep recession, according to the National Research Center for College & University Admissions.

NAEP Achievement Levels represent the percentage of students that scored proficient on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) exams. In order to have a "College-Ready Transcript" students must have taken at least four years of English, three years of math, and two years of natural science, social science and foreign language before graduating from high school.

But the "drop the coffee cup"... hhmmm Jury is still out on that one.
States: Drop The Smokes, Food, Phones And Drive
States Target Smoking, Eating, Other Distractions
POSTED: 7:11 pm EST February 8, 2007
BARRE, Vt. -- Put down the flute and keep your eyes on the road.
And forget about sipping that cup of coffee on the way to work, or smoking a cigarette on the way home. In some states, it could soon be illegal -- if it isn't already.
Emboldened by the passage of cell phone bans for drivers in some communities, states are turning their attention to other things that drive motorists to distraction.
Vermont lawmakers are considering a measure that would ban eating, drinking, smoking, reading, writing, personal grooming, playing an instrument, "interacting with pets or cargo," talking on a cell phone or using any other personal communication device while driving. The punishment: a fine of up to $600.
Similar bills are under consideration in Maryland and Texas, and Connecticut has passed one that generically bans any activity that could interfere with the safe operation of a motor vehicle.
"Cell phones attracted people to this issue," said Matt Sundeen, a transportation analyst with the National Conference of State Legislatures. "Now that people are more focused on distracted driving issues, they're beginning to talk about the broader range of distractions."
For the sponsor of the Vermont bill, the motivation came from his own observations.
"What finally pushed me over the edge was when I was at a stop sign and somebody opposite me was trying to navigate around the corner with a cell phone to the ear in one hand and a cigarette in the other, and she wasn't doing very well," said Republican state Rep. Thomas F. Koch.
He said his wife recently saw a driver playing the flute, which led him to include the instrument ban in his bill.
"There are a lot of bad habits out on the road. This isn't just for drivers' own good. This is to protect the other people on the road," he said.
Often, they need protection:
In Illinois, a bicyclist was killed by a driver who had been downloading cell phone ring tones while behind the wheel last September. In Westminster, Calif., a 7-year-old boy was struck and killed by an SUV whose driver lost control as he was trying to reach a cell phone and plowed into a family at a bus stop Nov. 29, authorities said. In Spokane, Wash., a trucker who was allegedly using a cell phone crossed a highway median and struck another truck head-on, killing five children, in 2005. In Athens, Ala., a woman lost control of her car while reaching for a ringing cell phone and crashed into a church last month.
Distracted drivers were involved in nearly eight out of 10 collisions or near-crashes in a study by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute that was released last year by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Young drivers are some of the worst offenders. A study of more than 5,600 students released last month by the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and State Farm Insurance Co. reported that nearly 90 percent had seen friends drive while talking on cell phones and that half saw drivers playing hand-held games, using listening devices or sending text messages.
Jeff Rogers, 44, of Barre, filling up his pickup at a gas station Thursday, said the Vermont bill is "going a little too far."
"I can understand the cell phone thing," he said. "But the rest of it, how are they going to enforce that?"

Ban Proposed On Cell Phones, iPods In Crosswalk
WNBC-TV
12:45 p.m. EST February 7, 2007
NEW YORK - A state senator from Brooklyn said on Tuesday he plans to introduce legislation that would ban people from using an MP3 player, cell phone, Blackberry or any other electronic device while crossing the street in New York City and Buffalo.
View Images: Evolution Of The iPod
NewsChannel 4 reported that Sen. Carl Kruger is proposing the ban in response to two recent pedestrian deaths in his district, including a 23-year-old man who was struck and killed last month while listening to his iPod on Avenue T and East 71st Street In Bergen Beach.
"While people are tuning into their iPods and cell phones, they're tuning out the world around them," Kruger said. The proposed law would make talking on cell phones while crossing the street a comparable offense to jaywalking.
Some pedestrians said they were not worried about their safety while using their electronic devices while walking.
"I look for the light," said Venus Montes of Williamsburg.
"I'm still looking," said Lance Gordon of Far Rockaway. "It's not like I'm not paying attention."
Others said the proposed ban would not work.
"I don't think anyone's going to be up for this," said Patricia Lewis of Staten Island. "I don't think anyone wants this."
Some pedestrians think the proposal was a good idea.
"It's too dangerous," said Nicole Lake of Jersey City. "Drivers don't pay attention and pedestrians don't pay attention."

This happend in the district east of mine, I knew the girl driving the car. I agree with most of it but it is a little extreme and they will have a hell of a time trying to enforce it.
Enforcement isn't all the difficult. Other than those who do that sort of work have to be more vigilant, and also have to actually be motivated too.
DC has a "no-hands-on" cell phone law, and I dont see too many infractions of it - of course there are always those who will disregard any law. I dont know what the value of the fine is for being caught, but in my opinion it would have to be a fairly stiff one to make it "Not worth doing". If for example the fine was $100.00 for first infraction and then an addition $50.00 for each subsequent infraction, folks would catch on real quick that taking the chance of being caught isnt worth 150.00 or 200.00 fine.

There are a couple of things not mentioned here that have been happening for a long time and that is doing hair and makeup using the visor mirror while driving and using an electric razor while driving. I wonder if sue, sue and tom tom will have to go as well.

will a coffee cup be an open container?
The 19 year old with a stereo so loud it vibrates the license plate off, is alot more dangerous than me drinking a cup of coffee. How many LEO's do you know who hasn't got a cup of coffee or a pepsi in the cruiser. More effort needs to be placed on enforcing existing laws. And giving cops the resources to do it.

Erik ten Hag bemoans Manchester United's protracted transfer business
July 19, 2022 by PlayerN01
'The best situation is when you start pre-season fully equipped': Erik ten Hag reveals frustration over Man United's protracted transfer business… with Frenkie de Jong no closer to signing despite 'broad agreement in place' on £72m deal
Manchester United are still no closer to landing Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona
Erik ten Hag admits he had hoped United would be finished business by now
Lisandro Martinez is the latest new recruit, joining from Ten Hag's old club Ajax
By Harry Slavin For Mailonline
Published: 06:16 EDT, 19 July 2022 | Updated: 06:24 EDT, 19 July 2022
Erik ten Hag has revealed his frustration at waiting on the pieces of his Manchester United jigsaw to fall into place.
The Dutchman had to be in patient in waiting for his first signing through the door since taking charge at Old Trafford this summer, with Feyenoord left-back Tyrell Malacia arriving earlier this month.
Since then, Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez have arrived, but neither have been included in United's squad for their pre-season tour Down Under.
Erik ten Hag has admitted his frustration at Manchester United's protracted transfer business
And there is still work to be done on United's squad, with the club pushing hard to complete a deal for Frenkie de Jong.
However, despite a broad agreement being in place for the midfielder – and Barcelona keen to push the Dutch star out the door in a bid to recuperate some of their outlay this summer – a deal is proving hard to complete.
Asked about his squad still being assembled with pre-season in full swing, the 52-year-old conceded it was not the preparation he envisaged for his side.
'The best and the most perfect situation is when you start pre-season with the squad fully equipped, but most of the time that's not the fact of football,' he told Sky Sports News.
'So I am realistic and I have to deal with the fact.'
United have an agreement with Barcelona for Frenkie de Jong but a deal is proving tricky
Instead, the lack of new faces has given Ten Hag the opportunity to concentrate his focus on those already with United.
The likes of Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford have appeared rejuvenated in pre-season, with both having suffered dips in their United form last season.
And Ten Hag insisted that he is happy with the way his players have responded to his new methods to date.
'Every new season is a new start,' he said. 'Of course there is a past, but we don't have to look back at the past, we have to look into the future.
Lisandro Martinez was United's third summer signing, the versatile defender arriving from Ajax
'Those players have high potential, and when we construct a team, and they take the responsibility for their fitness, I am sure they will perform, and we will get the right results.
'I think it's always a matter of developing. That's with experienced players and with younger players. I am a coach, I am not afraid, if players are good enough and are old enough, I will play them.
'We set a high standard, and values, and the team respond to it. We are happy with that.'

AIB CUP: Youghal Team Profile
7th April 2006 11:57
With the Munster Junior Challenge Cup and Munster Junior Division One title already in the bag, Cork club Youghal will run out at Lansdowne Road on Saturday looking to continue their purple patch.
Peter Boyle, Rainey Old Boys Captain, Maurice Crowley, AIB General Manager and Derek Kiely, PRO Youghal RFC with the AIB Junior Cup.
19 wins in 21 outings is a record to be proud of and club President Norman McDonald, Limerick-born but one of Youghal RFC's founding members, has revelled in the first team's success this season.
I have really enjoyed this year – it has been fantastic. When I go to Cork now I am greeted by ex-Munster coaches and players and in fact people from all different clubs who want to shake my hand, wish us well.
Everyone within the province wants us to go on and win the AIB Junior Cup. That kind of backing is deeply appreciated and come Saturday, we will give it our best shot to win it for the club, town, county and province, he told the club's website.
Having lost to Cobh Pirates in last season's Munster Junior League semi-final, Youghal, led by player-coach Robbie Doyle, have come back a different side this season.
The 30-year-old Doyle, who slots in at out-half and centre, explained: I think we had been making a significant amount of progress over the last two years with Terry who did an awful lot of good work. Roy (McArdle) wanted to make some changes, as did I, and they seemed to have worked well.
For instance, last year we had a core of 15 players and substitutes, but this year, we have expanded the squad and strengthened the bench. Each player is capable of playing in the starting XV and that has made a huge difference. The confidence levels have certainly come up.
Aided by new number eight Shaun McCreedy from New Zealand and the return of John Collins (Sundays Well) and scrum half/centre Thomas Curran and centre Eric Buckley (Highfield), the east Cork outfit have really got their act together.
The Cup and League titles were both garnered at Musgrave Park last month in the space of a heady seven days. First up, Kanturk were dispatched 24-18 in the Cup final and a week later, Youghal gained revenge on Cobh as a last-minute kick from out-half Mark Walsh saw them secure a 11-9 win in the League decider.
With the AIB League Round Robin series to come – Youghal clash again with Rainey on April 22, player-coach Doyle just concentrating on his side's big Dublin date.
I think it's only in recent days that it's started to sink in that we're in the final. Even though it would just be fantastic to be at Lansdowne as a coach, it's even better to be there as a player too – it's been a boyhood dream of mine to play there and I just can't wait to realise it.

more prevalent, more businesses are using QR codes as part of their marketing and communications.
But what are QR codes, how do you create them, and how can you use them to better market your own small business?
QR (short for "quick response") codes are 2D barcodes that can be scanned and read by smart phones. Once read by your phone, they will redirect you to a website, send a text on your behalf, or provide directions via Google maps, among other tasks.
How do you scan a QR code?
If you see a QR code in the wild don't be afraid. Just pull out your smart phone and use any free app for scanning QR codes just as you would use your camera phone; it's just like snapping a picture. I use "QR Code Scanner Pro" on my BlackBerry, while some new phones have a QR scanner pre-installed. This will probably be standard on future smart phones.
Once you scan or snap a picture of the code you will be redirected to a web page, shown a video, or generate an SMS text or call to someone…depending on what the QR creator set up.
How do you use QR codes in marketing and communication?
Although I've seen QR codes used in email marketing, on websites and on Facebook business pages, QR codes are most useful in the physical world. This is because a QR code placed in a direct mail piece, on a pizza box, or on a street sign allows the viewer to quickly connect to a wealth of information by scanning the QR code.
Real estate agents could include a QR code on a for sale sign that takes people to a video of a walkthrough of the property.
Retail shops could post QR codes next to products for in-depth reviews that have appeared on their blog.
Companies could place QR codes on employees' business cards, making it easy for people to connect with them on multiple social networks.
Vineyards could include QR codes on wine labels. Restaurant patrons who enjoy the wine could scan the QR code to learn more about the vintage, vineyard, or even be directed to the online store where they could buy a case for home consumption.
Will QR code marketing work for any business or non-profit?
Like any marketing campaign, some businesses are better positioned to take advantage of QR code marketing. Since you need a smart phone with a camera, QR scanner and an internet connection, you need to decide if this reflects your target audience or not.
And, as I mentioned above, QR codes are a great way of connecting the physical world to the internet. Personally, I don't see the benefit of a QR code in an email newsletter. It would be easier and more user-friendly to just include a traditional text link as opposed to asking your reader to grab their phone, scan a QR code, and then view the resulting webpage on their tiny mobile browser.
Can you include branding in a QR code?
Surprisingly, yes. There's a certain amount of error correction built into QR codes, so some companies have been adding a logo or other design elements into their QR codes. Just make sure that you test your "enhanced" QR codes before releasing them. A "broken" QR code will frustrate your audience and damage your brand.
QR codes will continue to gain in popularity with the boom in smart phone usage. They are easy to create, and becoming easier for consumers to use. Depending on your business, you can use QR codes as another way to engage your audience, drive traffic to your website (or elsewhere), and build your business.
If you'd like help developing a strategy for using QR codes in your own marketing, please contact Sesema PR.

That diversity is shown in the restaurant's menu, which features fifteen different burgers made with creative ingredients such as fried eggs, Portobello mushrooms and tiger prawns, all served on freshly-baked Brioche buns.
Jóhannes says the restaurant has supported queer rights in creative ways in the past. For example, for Reykjavík Pride, he says they serve their burgers with the buns upside down "as a token of support to the cause, and also to raise awareness and spur conversation."
Hamborgarafabrikkan has three locations, with two in Reykjavík and one in Akureyri, where Jóhannes says queer customers can expect the exact same service as any other customer.

Omnom Chocolates
Chocolatier Omnom Chocolate is no stranger to supporting queer causes.
Michael Ryan, chocolate maker at Omnom Chocolate, says its important to support queer causes.
During Eurovision this year the company gave away boxes of Omnom Popp, rainbow-coloured chocolate-covered popcorn as part of its sponsorship of Reykjavík Pride.
During the Pride festivities in August, the company began selling Omnom Popp alongside its Caramel+Milk bar, a milk chocolate bar with sparkly caramel pieces.
"Iceland is a friendly and progressive nation when it comes to these issues compared to most, but there's always more progress to be made," says Michael Ryan, chocolate maker at Omnom Chocolate. "We wanted to set an example of how companies can create impact through action."
Omnom's rainbow popcorn was an instant success when it hit the market.
"Showing support for these organizations and the queer community as a whole is important for Omnom simply because it's the right thing to do."
By sponsoring GayIceland, Michael says that Omnom Chocolate will be able to continue spreading the word about its work to support queer causes in the country."Showing support for these organizations and the queer community as a whole is important for Omnom simply because it's the right thing to do," according to Michael. "We're not creating rainbow and unicorn products just for the novelty of it. We've created them to translate the message of pride."
Omnom Chocolate is an Icelandic craft chocolate company based at Hólmaslóð 4, Reykjavík.

Omnom Chocolate is an Icelandic craft chocolate company based in Reykjavík. We produce handcrafted chocolate from organic cacao beans sourced ethically and sustainably. We've developed direct relationships to create premium chocolate with fine flavor cacao beans.
Our creative flavors are carefully crafted by meticulous chocolate makers. The cacao beans are roasted, winnowed, ground, and refined into melty-smooth chocolate.
Omnom's process is one of constant exploration, invention, and experimentation. If it doesn't please us, if something isn't absolutely delicious, there's no reason to be doing it. So, we always start with our taste buds and follow our instincts. Our team searches for the finest ingredients in the world and new ways to improve chocolate. This obsession with knowing where our ingredients come from has led us around the corner to dairy farms in the Icelandic countryside and all the way to rainforest cacao farms of Nicaragua.
In only a few short years, we've grown from our 50 sq. m. petrol station space and become an award-winning chocolate maker. Now, with our headquarters in 101 Reykjavík, our chocolate is sent out around Iceland and all over the world.
At the end of the day, our goal is to make chocolate.

Named by National Geographic as one of the 25 Wonders of the World, the Blue Lagoon is a shimmering expanse of warmth, relaxation, and rejuvenation. Its unique geothermal seawater comes from 2000 meters within the earth where sea and fresh water converge in a tectonic frontier of porous lava and searing heat. Propelled by extreme pressure, the water ascends to the earth's surface, emerging enriched with silica, algae, and minerals: the elements that endow Blue Lagoon geothermal seawater with its radiant, healing properties.
From its humble beginnings in the shadows of a geothermal power plant, Blue Lagoon has evolved into a world of wonder, now encompassing a hotel, a restaurant, a luxury lounge, a renowned line of skin care, a research center, in-water massage, and a wealth of spa and refreshment facilities.
Achieving harmony with the volcanic landscape of Iceland's Reykjanes lava plain, the lagoon and its surrounding architecture embody the unification of the man-made and the natural, and adhere to the highest principles of sustainability.
Blue Lagoon. A wonder of the world. A world of wonder.

Once upon a time, 1,100 years ago in fact, Nordic settlers began arriving in Iceland. They brought with them the skills and knowledge for producing skyr. As time passed, the know-how and recipe for this nutritious food slowly faded out elsewhere in the Nordic region. Luckily, the Icelandic skyr-making tradition continued.
For centuries, Icelandic skyr formed a cornerstone of the national diet, helping to keep people strong in living conditions that were often harsh. On family farms countrywide, it was the women who nurtured this dairy and passing on both the recipe and the original Icelandic skyr cultures from mother to daughter.
Ísey skyr builds on this remarkable legacy. It was some of those very same women, the recipients of their mothers' expertise, who, around 90 years ago, taught Icelandic dairy scientists the art of skyr-making. The production process is more high-tech these days, and the quality standards more rigorous. However, the basic recipe and the use of original cultures to ferment the skimmed milk remain the same. Protein rich, fat-free, creamy and delicious – Ísey skyr is as relevant to consumers now as it was all those centuries ago.
This is our secret and you are in on it

and VikingSushi Adventure – Bird & Nature watching Tour for everyone all year around
The "VikingSushi Adventure" is the right boat tour for travelers who are adventurous and want to experience something new – close up to the nature seafood simply doesn't come fresher than this! The archipelago area of the Breidafjordur Bay always surprises her visitors during winter or summer with spectacular sights. Where else you get to try delicious fresh scallops and sea urchin roe straight from the ocean served with soy sauce, wasabi and ginger.
This old volcanic area, characterized by the typical basalt formations of the islands, is the home of countless birds. Here you will also find the strongest currents in Iceland. The VikingSushi Tour takes roughly two hours and our captain is also the tour guide.
The VikingSushi Tour is a true adventure through incredible nature which should not be missed by any traveler to West Iceland.
Birds, possible to spot:
-puffins (from the middle of April until the middle of August)
-eider ducks
-shags
-kittiwakes
-fulmars
-white-tailed eagle
The car ferry Baldur is the bridge to the West fjords via the island Flatey
Ferry Baldur crosses Breidafjordur Bay daily from Stykkisholmur on the Snæfellsnes peninsula to Brjanslaekur in the north. A ferry ride considerably shortens the route between the south and mid-west of the country and the West Fjords region. It also gives you the opportunity to experience a floating restaurant.

Wrestling takes 1st place at sectional meet
Photo by Cory Wyman '16 – Hunter Talbo '16 and Archie Garcia '19 face off at wrestling practice. The wrestling team won 1st place at their sectional meet.
By Henry Erlandson '16
The varsity wrestling team grabbed the first place spot in the Division 1 Wrestling Championships at Boulder Creek High School Feb. 6 and had two wrestlers place fifth in the state tournament.
The top four wrestlers in each weight class of sectionals advance to state.
Brophy had 10 wrestlers travel to the state tournament Feb. 11 and 12 after defeating the defending-champ Mountain Ridge at the sectional meet by a margin of seven points.
"Coach Catan focused heavily on getting the team into shape and it showed during the matches," said Brogan Smith '18. "We were more athletic than a majority of the other teams, and as the match wore on our grapplers kept fighting while their opponents tuckered out."
Captains Val Hernandez '16 and Anthony Brady '16 earned all-state honors competing in the semi-finals of the state championship in Prescott.
"At the state meet they had a sense of urgency and they came to wrestle," said head coach Mr. Wayne Catan. "When those two guys as talented as they are, when they come to wrestle there's no stopping them."
Brady wrestled at 138-pounds after beating his opponent from a technical fall and Hernandez wrestled at the 120-pound slot.
Junior Brian Olmedo was 20 seconds away from being all-state on the second day of the state tournament. Mr. Catan said it was heart-breaking to see him lose, but looks forward to seeing Olmedo place high in state next year.
Smith, who finished first in his weight class at sectionals, attributed the successful season to Mr. Catan's coaching style and the senior leadership.
"The fact that he was an Olympic level wrestler adds to his credibility and captures the respect of not only our wrestlers, but other teams as well," he said. "He brought a high level training regimen and knowledge of the sport with him."
Mr. Catan said the future is bright for his team after finishing up his first year of coaching at Brophy and looks forward to getting right back to work soon with off-season tournaments in the freestyle and spring seasons.

Russians and Eastern Europeans are finding bargains at Red Sea resorts
AllArabianBusiness.com Staff, HotelierMiddleEast.com
Average occupancy levels at Egypt's coastal resorts in Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada increased significantly in 2012 compared to 2011, according to the latest data released by Colliers International.
In Sharm El Sheikh, year-on-year average occupancy was up 27.1%, to 63%, in 2012. Occupancy levels at nearby Hurghada resorts grew 15.9% on 2011 figures, to 67%.
Consultants have attributed the increases to hotels cutting rates, making the Red Sea a more affordable destination for many new markets.
Colliers International head of hotels — MENA region Filippo Sona said that while Western markets had been deterred by unrest in Egypt, centred in Cairo, Eastern Europeans were taking advantage of cheap rates to visit the safer coastal areas of Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada.
"Russia has dominated this market. The hotels are absolutely full of Russians, Ukrainians, and people from countries such as Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan as it's become affordable."
Already-low average daily rates at resorts in Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada dropped again by 5% and 4.1%, respectively, to around EGP 285 (US $42) in 2012.
"Tourists are generally avoiding Cairo and that's driving people to the Red Sea, where room rates are still very low and the hotels are offering cheap, all-inclusive packages," Jones Lang LaSalle Misr head of Egypt Ayman Sami agreed.
One general manager of an all-inclusive five-star resort in Sharm El Sheikh, who wished to remain anonymous, said he had reduced rates "slightly" in 2012, but occupancy had increased with the hotel currently 80% full.
He said the resort had a solely European guest market: "We have excellent connections with highly pro-active European tour operators who thoroughly understand the business and together with the ground handlers, work well as a team and this is obviously paying dividends".
Sharm El Sheikh Marriott Beach Resort GM Elaine Watson added: "We have seen an increase from the European markets however that is also down to us establishing new partnerships with some of the key tour operators".
Plus factors
Direct flights to Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada have also helped to boost the number of visitors, according to both consultants.
"There are chartered flights that go to the areas without transfer in Cairo, which has contributed to the growth of the volume [in visitor numbers] to this area," said Sono.
Furthermore, the average length of stay is longer in these areas, with many travellers choosing to stay in one place — rather than travel around the country — for security reasons. In the coastal areas average length of stay was 10.35 nights at the end of 2012, compared to 9.9 nights in 2009.
"People want to stay where they are and this is going to change the traveller trends. It opens quite a lot of opportunities," he explained. "This trend will stay for the next three to five years, definitely".
However, he urged management of the Red Sea resorts to carefully consider their approach to revenue management to maintain this new surge of budget travellers.
"The number one opportunity is in targeting markets of Eastern Europe and the nearby countries, offering primarily all-inclusive packages — a one-stop-shop, safe and secure".
"Hotels have to be very careful with the strategy and what they do. Maintain the volume and level of profit rather than killing yourself because you want more money," he said.
Red Sea reach
Looking to 2013, Sono predicts rates will only marginally increase and occupancy levels will continue to experience double-digit growth.
The GM of the aforementioned five-star resort said he did not expect average daily rate to increase in 2013: "We expect it to remain stable providing the political and economic situation does not change."
Another opportunity for the Red Sea resorts is the domestic market.
According to the Colliers International report, Egypt's population is heavily skewed, with 69.5% of the total population classified as generation Y. Sono said this will lead to a demand for more "trendy" lifestyle hotel brands in the coastal areas.
"Target more lifestyle resorts, the younger audience," Sono said. "No more five-star deluxe hotels, they're already there. The area needs more funky places like Nikki Beach, this kind of modern, vibrant resort".
But even considering recent increases in demand, tourism is still down on pre-Arab Spring levels. Between 2008 and 2010, tourism represented an average 8.4% of Egypt's GDP, which dropped to 6.5% in 2011 and 2012 due to political unrest.
As political problems persist, only a limited number of new rooms are expected to come online over the next few years, among them is the Radisson Blu Sharm El Sheikh Lagoon.

Jubiläumsgewinnspiel
Hofer Ticket
« zurück zum Lineup
Paul Kalkbrenner is a German electronic musician and actor from Berlin.
As of 2010, Paul Kalkbrenner has tallied up more than 15 years of experience as a producer and live act. The early 90s after the Berlin Wall fell were formative years for Paul, and after spending many long and sleepless nights on the dancefloors of E-Werk, Planet and Whale, the dream was born to make music himself. A job as TV editor got him through the mid-90s and financed his first music gear. By this point Paul had already decided that he did not want to be a typical DJ playing other people's records, but rather to play only his own music, live in a club setting. His first tracks as Paul Kalkbrenner were released in 1999 on Berlin-based BPitch Control (the newly founded label from Ellen Allien) as the Friedrichshain EP, titled after his home district in the city's east. A series of further singles and two full-lengths (Superimpose and Time) followed, plus continuous live performances.
Together with Paul Kalkbrenner, BPitch Control gained a strong momentum. Paul's third album Self (2004) would mark the beginning of a new era. His melodic sound, with its affinity for grand emotional gestures, obeyed the logic of the dancefloor, but Self introduced a narrative aesthetic, serving as a soundtrack to a film that did not exist (at least, not yet). "Gebrünn Gebrünn", released one year later, became a crossover hit.
In early 2006, German director Hannes Stöhr, an avid fan of Self, decided to get in contact with Kalkbrenner. His idea was to produce a film about a Berlin techno musician during the new millennium, and Paul would compose the soundtrack. The two met, traded ideas and experiences, and soon after began working on the screenplay's first draft. In the course of their exchange, Hannes had the realization that Paul should not just contribute the music, but that he would be the perfect choice as the film's star. Without hesitation, Paul accepted the offer. They decided to title the film Berlin Calling.
For the soundtrack's production, Paul and his friend (and Bpitch colleague) Sascha Funke spent half a year in Aix-En-Provence in southern France. One song already had a title: "Sky and Sand" with vocals by brother Fritz Kalkbrenner. Upon Paul's return to Berlin in 2007, the filming began, and the finished work was brought to German theaters in October 2008. Berlin Calling and Paul's debut acting performance received positive reviews, and the film, thanks to its authentic depiction of the Berlin club scene and drug culture, became a cult classic.
The soundtrack and especially the single "Sky and Sand" broke many sales records. That track in particular went gold in Belgium where it remained in the charts' Top Ten for weeks. The 2009 DVD release of the film brought Paul to a new, much larger audience around the world. By the end of the year, Paul separated with BPitch Control after a decade-long relationship to take the next steps of his career alone. In early 2010 Paul completed a twelve-city live concert tour throughout Europe (with over 50,000 tickets sold within just a few weeks), followed by many headlining appearances at summer festivals.
Kalkbrenner uses software-synthesizers, sequencer (Ableton Live) in combination with midi-controllers, hardware-synthesizers and -drummachines for his live shows.
On April 12, 2011, Kalkbrenner announced the album Icke Wieder, scheduled to be released on June 3, 2011 via his own new label Paul Kalkbrenner Musik. About the album, he stated: "There won't be any singing on the album, no music of tomorrow either, it feels generally more like… well, old times".

Q: Regex: remove scheme unless it's http(s). (capture negative lookbehind pattern) I'm having a regex blackout here. How do I capture a negative lookbehind pattern again?
I'm trying to remove the scheme (including ://) of a uri unless it is http/https. I'm half way there (or I thought I was, the pattern below doesn't even compile), but I forgot how to actually capture the negative pattern:
preg_replace( '~^(?<!https?)://~', '', $uri );
How can I do this, again?

A: Just a quick thought:
preg_replace ('#^((http[s]{0,1}://)|([a-z]+://))#i', '$2', $uri);

A: preg_replace('#^((?:.(?<!http))+://)#i', '', $uri);

Definitive operation for pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum. Results in twenty patients

Definitive operation was performed on 20 patients (aged 25 to 178 months) with pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum. All patients had one or more prior preliminary palliative procedures. Right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction with atrial septal defect closure and shunt removal was done on 10 patients. Tricuspid annular circumference was at least 70% of normal in seven patients and between 55% and 70% in three patients. Two patients died during hospitalization. The eight surviving patients were asymptomatic 3 to 145 months after operation. The modified Fontan operation was performed on 10 patients. None of these patients had a tricuspid annular circumference greater than 70% of normal; the circumference was less than 55% in nine patients and between 55% and 70% in one patient. One patient died during hospitalization and one died later. Follow-up 6 to 48 months after operation showed that six patients were in the New York Heart Association Class I and two were in Class II. After effective preliminary palliation of pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum, definitive operation can be done with an operative risk of 15% (three of 20 patients) and excellent late results. Right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction can be done as a complete repair for patients who have adequate tricuspid annular size. The modified Fontan operation is the only option for definitive repair when the tricuspid anulus is severely hypoplastic.
