Alice Underwood, Pre-doctoral fellow at the Center on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law. |
Ever since the Millennium Message, Putin's first presidential speech on January 1, 2000, the Kremlin's political architects have cultivated a narrative of Russia as a unique nation on a righteous path toward restored greatness. The process of myth-making is intertwined with the policies involved in remaking Russia as a... |

Pacific Northwest Ballet delighted two balconies full of paying customers Thursday night at McCaw Hall with its final dress rehearsal for "Swan Lake," the Tchaikovsky classic that's 140 years old. |
The show is choreographed by PNB's Founding Artistic Director Kent Stowell and includes scenery designed by Ming Cho Lee and bold costumes designed by "Hamilton" costume designer Paul Tazewell. The show will run for nine performances Feb. 2-11, including matinees, with a break Feb. 4-7. |
Principal dancers Noelani Pantastico and Seth Orza performed the parts of Odette/Odile and Prince Seigfried in Thursday's rehearsal. |
Pantastico was a principal dancer with PNB when she departed for Monaco in 2008 but resumed her position upon returning to Seattle in 2015. Orza has been a principal with PNB since 2010. |
When it comes to beauty secrets, the Internet is a treasure trove of helpful tips and tricks. |
But with so many forums and opinions online, it's hard to know where to start. |
The Skincare Addiction message board on Reddit is popular with thousands of beauty experts and members, where they share their pearls of wisdom with the aim of helping others with their skincare. |
Glamour shared some of Reddit's most interesting skincare tips. |
Gritting is a technique that has proven to be popular on Reddit - and it involves a variety of steps. |
To start you need to cleanse your face with oil before putting on a clay face mask, rinsing it off, doing another oil cleanse and then looking at your face and hands. |
'If your face is pristine, your hands will be empty. If your face is a minefield of urban debris, you’ll notice hundreds of tiny, spongy, granular gunk balls everywhere, on your face and on your fingertips,' beauty experts at Glamour said. |
One woman said she went through a phase of only using drugstore products before moving onto a phase of using only 'natural' skincare. |
'I got duped into thinking that toxins and chemicals were causing my skin problems,' she said. |
She recommended that shoppers look thoroughly into the ingredients of beauty products, no matter how they're labelled. |
One woman said she loves the Hyaluronic Moisture Boost Serum, which is an affordable product she bought from Trader Joes. |
The poster said she didn't expect to respond so well to the $9 serum but the gel proved to blend and absorb quickly and hydrate 'beautifully'. |
'The thin texture is great for layering, and I can mix it with a vitamin C powder. I can never get over how soft, smooth, and plump my skin is when I use it,' she said. |
The lesson is that you don't always have to spend a fortune on skincare to get the best buys. |
One of the most popular threads on the message board is a community-tested, moderator-approved skincare routine guide complete with product recommendations. |
Hundreds of thousands swear by a four-step routine that involves the below products - a cleanser, moisturiser, sunscreen and an exfoliator. |
The most popular sunscreen is the UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence from Japanese company Bioré. |
This is an invisible chemical layer of SPF that dries moments after application and it stays put after swimming and sweating. |
Experts on Reddit highly recommend Neutrogena's Ultra Gentle Hydrating Cleanser. |
People who have posted on the board have suggested this product for those with irritation-prone skin. |
Olay's Complete UV365 Daily Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30+ was the number one suggested moisturiser. |
Recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation, it is a hydrating moisturiser with built-in sunscreen. |
The top recommendation was Stridex Pads, which are alcohol-free pads that eliminate irritation and dryness and also stop new pimples from forming. |
The Palestinian Hamas movement has indefinitely postponed a meeting with Fatah leaders over the Palestinian Authority’s decision to resume direct talks with Israel. |
Senior Hamas official Selah al-Bradawil said the decision has "made it too difficult" for his movement to meet with Fatah officials, Ma’an news agency reported. |
The meeting, called by democratically elected Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh was scheduled for Saturday evening in Gaza City and was to discuss a unity deal to span divisions between the two rival movements which have stalled local and general elections. |
On Friday, US Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton invited both Israelis and Palestinians to resume direct negotiations in Washington in early September. |
Despite Israel’s flat refusal to meet the Palestinian pre-condition of extending a 10-month freeze on its West Bank settlements, the Palestinian Authority accepted the US invitation. |
Hamas along with a number of other Palestinian factions rejected Washington’s "misleading" call and condemned the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority for yielding to US pressure. |
Several factions within the Palestine Liberation Organization Palestinian also protested the move with many expecting a statement from the Middle East Peace Quartet to lay the foundations of peace talks. |
But the quartet’s communiqué — released in parallel and in support of a US invitation to direct talks — was not accepted by the US as a basis for negotiations, while Clinton saying no preconditions to talks would be applied. |
Analysis of 334 species of bat has turned up some interesting findings: in species with promiscuous females, males had evolved larger testicles but relatively small brains. In species where the females were were monogamous, the males had smaller testicles, but larger brains. These results are contrary to what was expec... |
"Perhaps monogamy is more neurologically demanding." |
"Bats really exist on an energy knife-edge: they are small with a large surface area, and they need to fly around, particularly during the mating season." |
In all mammals, brain tissue and sperm cells both require a lot of metabolic energy to grow and maintain. Bats, it seems, cannot have both. |
NEW ULM, MN (August 6, 2014) - Four Waters Press announces the release of author Connie Rossini's new book, Trusting God with St. Therese. Available in digital ($3.99) and paperback ($15.95) editions at Amazon.com, Trusting God with St. Therese gives readers practical advice for overcoming the fears and frustrations th... |
"For years I had read that I needed to trust God in order to draw closer to him," Rossini said, "but I had no idea how to go about it." As she dug deeper into the life and teaching of St. Therese of Lisieux, Rossini began reflecting on specific actions she could take to follow the saint's way of trust. Those reflection... |
Trusting God with St. Therese tells the story of St. Therese's life in dramatic form. At each stage of the story, Rossini delves into the challenges to trust the saint faced. How did she overcome them? The author places her own story of struggling with trust alongside St. Therese's. She shows that it is possible for av... |
"In the Bible, God urges us to trust Him with all of our heart," said Catholic evangelist and author Gary Zimak. "Unfortunately, many of us fail to do this on a regular basis. In Trusting God with St. Therese, Connie Rossini not only helps us to understand the importance of trusting in God's providence, but gives us si... |

Fabrizio Miccoli and Levan Mchedlidze both tallied on Sunday to give Palermo a 2-1 win over Juventus. |
Palermo’s win, its first against Juve in Turin in 47 years, gives the team 12 points — just one less than league leaders Lazio, Udinese and Inter Milan. Miccoli put Palermo ahead with his fifth goal of the season in the 24th minute and then exited the game five minutes later after suffering an injury. |
Alessandro Del Piero pulled Juventus even in the 39th minute with a dazzling free kick from just outside the penalty area that curved around the wall and into the net. |
Juventus played the entire second half down a player after Mohamed Sissoko got a second yellow card in the 41st minute. Palermo finally managed to take advantage of its extra man with nine minutes left to play when Mchedlidze, an 18-year-old Georgian, took a low pass from Fabio Simplicio that beat goalkeeper Gianluigi ... |
Also on Sunday, Fabio Quagliarella scored a goal in each half to give Udinese a 2-0 win over visiting Torino and a spot at the top of the standings. |
Siena got a goal from Mario Frick as time expired in the first half and then held on for a 1-0 victory over AS Roma, which played the last 15 minutes with nine players after Philippe Mexes and Christian Panucci received their second yellow cards. The two defenders will miss Roma’s next match against Inter. |
Alberto Gilardino, meanwhile, scored his fourth goal of the year as Fiorentina downed Chievo Verona 2-1. |
Napoli lost its chance to go to the top of the standings after losing on the road to Genoa, 3-2, in one of the most riveting matches of the day. |
CASTRIES, St. Lucia, September 18, 2007 – The Vincentian-born ‘Father of the Nation’ of St. Lucian, Sir John Compton, is set to be laid to rest today following three days of public farewell across the island. |
And on Sunday, hundreds showed up for a memorial service in Micoud, as the colors of the United Workers Party, yellow and black fluttered from cars and trees. |
Sir John is set to be laid to rest at a private burial following a funeral that will be televised live across the island from the Minor Basilica of the Immaculate Conception.. Among those set to attend the funeral is Ambassador Albert R. Ramdin, the OAS Assistant Secretary General. |
Today has been declared a day of national mourning and a national holiday in St. Lucia. |
Sir John died on Friday September 7th at the age of 82, following a series of strokes beginning in May. He is survived by a wife and five children. |
Oh, Jenny. So funny you are. Silly girl, don’t you know that every single neighborhood in America has tried to fight a Walmart in their community for the very same reasons you say you don’t want it in yours? You don’t think other people’s neighborhoods have “canyons, trees, little libraries, things like that”? Wow, lad... |
Those other communities also did not want big box stores in their community, but they had to accept it. They, too, thought their communities were too cute for a Walmart, and that it would ruin the feel of their homes and the area. |
For Jenny to say it should go “across the freeway” is just passing her problem along to another community. Jenny admits, “We all shop at Walmart.” Well, why is she supporting the store?! |
If her attitude would be to fight against all Walmarts — each and every Walmart —then maybe she has a voice. But to show with her actions that it is okay to destroy other communities but not her own — well I very much want to shake some sense into her. She should have fought against all such stores in all areas of Cali... |
My own hometown, for one, was so beautiful, with mom-and-pop stores and a Mayberry-type lifestyle. Walmart came in and within 5-10 years, all the mom and pops are gone. All the small boutiques and five-and-dime stores? Gone. |
Where was Jenny Marshall to fight it in my neighborhood? |
Got news for you, Jenny.Not one single community in all the pretty suburbs of America wanted a Walmart in their town. You people in Scripps Ranch are not any more special or any more exempt from it than anyone else. No one wants a Walmart in their community. |
Yet, just like you stated, with blind hypocrisy, “We all shop there.” Well Jenny, if you did not shop there to begin with you would now not have this in your own backyard. I hope every low lot in the county comes to your neighborhood for a Walmart discount! |
As an educator, I find the article “SeaWorld Announces Shift from Orcas to Sharks” (SD on the QT) very disturbing as it leads to many misconceptions in my science classroom. Although your writer, Walter Mencken, is making up the story, the entire premise of such a story is ridiculous and only furthers America’s fears a... |
If your news outlet wishes to attack SeaWorld, find another target other than an animal that is even more feared than orcas (or what the media likes to call them — killer whales). |
Sharks are probably the most misunderstood animals of the global ocean; their ecological role is vital in keeping healthy fish populations free from disease. It is truly a sad state of affairs to make a pun out of the rare times sharks have been recognized to have attacked humans; you only further perpetuate the public... |
Comments on the new extensions for keeping the tent homeless shelters open need to be addressed. |
First, San Diego is under court order to have them and could, in the future, be forced to open them all year. |
Second, the million dollars gets paid back to the City in donations, grants, subsidies, and other money. |
Third, the cost is so high because 40 security guards are required and massive insurance is required, in addition to the Spoils System, which indicates that governments may have things done at a huge price, and see to it that the work is done by their relatives. This has long been our system of government, like it or n... |
The shelters serve our military veterans, who do not all fit in the veterans tent, and who paid a high price for their service, some losing arms, legs, or their sanity. It allows them to be semi-indoors, saving the government a billion dollars a month over paying rent for 2 million veterans. |
San Diego will continue to be America’s Homeless City because of the weather, military, and border, and, well, would you prefer Chicago? |
Alternatives to the tents are to have everybody on the sidewalk or in jails at a cost of $150 per person per day, in motel rooms at $30 per night and up, or the real solution of having jobs available that pay enough money to pay your own rent. |
As for leaving San Diego, the homeless refuse to even leave their own neighborhood where their derelict hotel was torn down, much less leaving the city entirely. |
Support homeless pride. Just say no to overpriced real estate. |

The European anti-austerity parties, Syriza and Podemos, took centre stage during the change:how? 2015 conference at Islington Metal Works. |
There is the potential for a more radical political movement in Britain, according to representatives from Europe's flourshing anti-austerity parties, Syriza and Podemos. |
Speaking at the change:how? 2015 conference on Sunday, representatives from the two parties said that the battles in their home countries are no longer contests between the left and right sides of the political spectrum – rather, they are between democracy and oppression. |
The event, based in Islington Metal Works (usually home to industrial chic goth nights), had over 100 speakers including the London mayoral candidate, David Lammy and the Labour MP Stella Creasy. But it was the international austerity movement that took centre stage. Spiros Rapanakis, Syriza’s youngest parliamentary ca... |
The anti-austerity party, Syriza, won the general election in Greece last month and it's leader, Alexis Tsipras, has vowed to end "five years of humilation and pain" by renogtiating the terms of Greece's dramatic international bailout. It was an election campaign that instilled more hope in the Spanish counterpart, Pod... |
What has happened in Spain is quite extraordinary: Podemos was formed only 13 months ago and within five months we had five MEPs in the European elections – soon after it was polling first in voting intentions for the national elections… it is not overstatement to say it has completely changed the political arena in Sp... |
The most important thing is that people are now excited about politics in a way we’ve never seen before. I go back home and there are people in their houses, in the streets and bars talking about politics. That had never happened before. They feel their vote matters and that finally people can have an influence on what... |
By 2011, the socialisation of the financial crisis was already quite evident in Spain: rising unemployment, inequality, cuts to welfare and education. And on top of that we had major corruption cases across the political structure. And yet nothing seemed to happen . . . there wasn’t an alternative. We had the two main ... |
This might surprise you but Podemos does not describe itself as a left-wing party and we don’t because we believe there’s the overwhelming majority in Spain – across the political spectrum – agree on certain fundamental points: that institutions should govern in the interests of the majority, not the tiny privileged el... |
I am here today to give the message that Syriza and the Greek government give to all European people: change is coming, the old world has died and the new world is emerging now. |
