Outcomes of 3% green tea emulsion on skin sebum production in male volunteers.
ABSTRACT This study was aimed to depict potential effects of stable formulation (water in oil emulsion), containing 3% green tea (Camellia sinensis L) extract on skin sebum production in healthy human volunteers. For this purpose formulation was designed using 3% ethanolic green tea extract and Abil®EM90 was used as an emulsifier. Formulation was applied to the cheeks of healthy human volunteers (n=10) for a period of 8 weeks. Measurements for skin sebum production were considered using Sebumeter MPA 5. Results were compiled and any effect produced by the formulation was justified statistically. It was observable that statistically significant (p < 0.5%) results were found for skin sebum production after long term application of the formulation. 3% formulation of green tea extract was ideal in all aspects and can be experienced in skin disorders like acne to further investigate its effects in unhealthy volunteers.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Acne vulgaris is the most common skin disease worldwide; yet, current treatment options, although effective, are associated with unwanted side effects, chronicity, relapses and recurrences. The adequate control of the four pathogenic mechanisms, involved in the appearance of acne lesions, is paramount to treatment success. Areas covered: The authors discuss and evaluate the pathogenic pathways related to the mechanisms of action of novel molecules, which are currently under investigation for the treatment of acne vulgaris. The manuscript is based on comprehensive searches made through PubMed, GoogleScholar and ClinicalTrial.gov, using different combination of key words, which include acne vulgaris, pathogenesis, treatment, sebogenesis and Propionibacterium acnes. Expert opinion: In the near future, more effective treatments with fewer side effects are expected. The use of topical antiandrogens, acetylcholine inhibitors and PPAR modulators seem to be promising options for controlling sebum production. Retinoic acid metabolism-blocking agents and IL-1α inhibitors have the potential to become legitimate alternative options to retinoid therapy in the management of infundibular dyskeratosis. Indeed, the authors believe that there will likely be a decline in the use of antibiotics for controlling P. acnes colonization and targeting the inflammation cascade.Expert Opinion on Investigational Drugs 06/2014; · 4.74 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: This study aims to investigate the effects of a topical cream (emulsion) containing 4% extract of fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) on functional skin parameters like sebum content, skin melanin, and skin erythaema, using the base without fennel as a control. Fennel extract was entrapped in the inner aqueous phase of emulsion. The creams were applied to 11 healthy male volunteers for a period of 12 weeks. Skin parameters were measured fortnightly using a Mexameter MPA 5 and a Sebumeter MPA 5 to determine the effects produced. The base showed insignificant (p > 0.05) increase while the active formulation showed significant (p 0.05) decrease in skin melanin and sebum content, which can be attributed to the presence of linoleic acid and oleic acids in fennel. Analysis using a paired sample t-test showed that the base decreased skin erythaema insignificantly while the formulation exerted a significant decrease indicating that it possessed anti-erythaemic effects. The formulation can therefore be used safely for the treatment of acne and as a skin whitening agent in males.ScienceAsia 01/2012; 38:262-267. · 0.35 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Acne is a common but serious skin disease, which affects approximately 80% adolescents and young adults in 11-30 age group. 42.5% of men and 50.9% of women continue to suffer from this disease into their twenties. Bacterial resistance is now at the alarming stage due to the irrational use of antibiotics. Hence, search for new lead molecule/bioactive and rational delivery of the existing drug (for better therapeutic effect) to the site of action is the need of the hour. Plants and plant-derived products have been an integral part of health care system since time immemorial. Therefore, plants that are currently used for the treatment of acne and those with a high potential are summarized in the present review. Most active plant extracts, namely, P. granatum, M. alba, A. anomala, and M. aquifolium exhibit minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) in the range of 4-50 µg/mL against P. acnes, while aromatic oils of C. obovoides, C. natsudaidai, C. japonica, and C. nardus possess MICs 0.005-0.6 μL/mL and phytomolecules such as rhodomyrtone, pulsaquinone, hydropulsaquinone, honokiol, magnolol, xanthohumol lupulones, chebulagic acid and rhinacanthin-C show MIC in the range of 0.5-12.5 μg/mL. Novel drug delivery strategies of important plant leads in the treatment of acne have also been discussed.BioMed Research International 01/2014; 2014:301304. · 2.71 Impact Factor

Skin is considered excellent model for non-invasive
topical delivery. Topical emulsions have widespread
acceptability by the user and have been used as der-
matological formulations since long time (). Water
in oil type emulsions are frequently used because of
their ease of application, restriction of water evapora-
tion from skin surface and by their emollient action ().
More than years ago in Chinese history, em-
peror Sin-Non described that a daily cup of tea could
be handy to dissolve number of poisons in our body.
It was strongly believed in ancient culture that tea
can prevent and treat many diseases. But scientifi cally
these benefi cial eff ects are described more recently ().
Tea (Camellia sinensis L) of T eaceae has many kinds
but three well known types are: green (un-fermented),
oolong (semi-fermented), and black (fully-fermented).
By inactivating the enzymes in the fresh leaves green
tea is made either by fi ring or by steaming, thus to pre-
vent the enzymatic oxidation of catechins (). Catechins
(polyphenols) are main active constituents found in tea
(). T ere are several polyphenolic catechins in green
tea, viz. (−) epicatechin (EC), (−) epicatechingallate
(ECG), (−) epigallocatechin(EGC), (−) epigallocate-
chin--gallate (EGCG), (+)catechin, and (+) gallocat-
echin (GC) Figure . EGCG is the most found catechin
in green tea () of the total catechin contents ().
Tea preparations have shown to trapping activity against
various reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as singlet
oxygen, hydroxyl radical, superoxide radical, nitric ox-
ide, peroxynitrite and nitrogen dioxide and were helpful
in reducing damage to proteins, lipid membranes and
nucleic acid in cell-free systems (). Furthermore epi-
demiological studies suggest that tea is eff ective against
variety of cancers and well known chemo preventive
agent. Several other epidemiological studies suggest
green tea eff ective in oral diseases, bone disorders, neu-
rodegenerative and cardiovascular disorders (). The
problem with green tea polyphenols was their strong
affi nities for many proteins like milk, casein and their
interference with digestive enzymes that results in re-
duced lipid, starch and proteins digestibility. T ey have
shown to interfere with zinc, iron and sodium as well ().
Moreover catechins are subject to extensive biotrans-
formation including methylation, glucuronidation, sul-
fation and ring fi ssion metabolism. T e potential health
eff ects of catechins depend on the amount consumed
and on their bioavailability. The plasma concentra-
tions of EGCG were much lower when given orally ().
Aim of this study was to test this formulation in healthy
human volunteers for its eff ects on skin sebum produc-
tion as many of the active constituents in green tea are
prompted to contain anti-sebum effects declared by
a study that green tea decreases hormonal activity be-
cause tea galltes and α- linoleic acid are selective inhibi-
tors of α-reductase (). Furthermore green tea reduc-
es infl ammation due to lipids present in green tea such
as Linoleic acid and α- linoleic acid () which reduces
microcomedone size in micrcomedonal acne (). It has
antimicrobial activity (), P. acnes was most sensitive
with green tea fl avor compounds (). Green tea is also
powerful antioxidant (). T erefore keeping in mind
all above points of view, a desired dermatological for-
mulation was of esteemed value using green tea extract.
Material and Methods
Detailed procedure is previously reported in ()
and briefly summarized here. Camellia sinensis
leaves extract was prepared by maceration. For this
purpose grams powdered Camellia sinensis
leaves were drenched with analytical grade etha-
nol for days. Filtered extract was evaporated at
Page 3
oC under vacuum, using a rotary evaporator. The
blackish green colored extract was stored at oC.
For a formulation paraffin oil ( ) and surfactant
Abil®EM ( ) was heated up to C±C. At the
same time, aqueous phase consisting of water (quantity
suffi cient to make ) was heated to C±C and
then the green tea extract ( ) was added in this aque-
ous phase. After that, aqueous phase was added to the oil
phase drop by drop and stirred with homogenizer to ob-
tain a formulation with dependable consistency. Mean
while few drops of lemon oil were added during this
stirring time to give good fragrance to the formulation.
Study design
For application of formulation, volunteers were cho-
sen whose ages were in between and years. Only
male volunteers were included in this work. Volunteers
were examined for any serious skin disease or damage
especially on cheeks and forearms. Each volunteer was
provided with a volunteer protocol before the study.
T is protocol stating each volunteer signed the terms
and conditions of the testing individually. Volunteers
were not informed about the contents of the formula-
tions. Skin tests were performed at oC and relative
humidity conditions. Before application of formulation a
patch test was performed on forearms of the volunteers
for hours to check any irritation in the formulation.
Each volunteer on the second day was provided with
formulation and volunteers were instructed properly
about the application of formulation. Each individual
was instructed to come for measurements of readings
for skin sebum production on week , , , , , and .
Mathematical and Statistical Analysis
The percentage changes for the individual values
of different parameters, taken every week, of vol-
unteers were calculated by the following formula;
The measured values obtained for skin sebum pro-
duction were analyzed using SPSS . on the PC
computer (ANOVA for variation between differ-
ent time intervals and level of signifi cance was , ).
Percentage Change = ((A – B) / B)*
A = Individual value of any parameter (from
st to th week)
B = Zero hour value of that parameter
Results and Discussion
In-vitro evaluation of creams
Stability of the formulation was evaluated using dif-
ferent conditions of storage i.e. ˚C, ˚C and ˚C +
RH (relative humidity). In this study no liquefac-
tion and phase separation were observed in the for-
mulation samples throughout the study period of
days even at elevated temperatures. Abil®EM is a
lipophilic surfactant () and it has been found that
lipophilic surfactants are more stable at elevated tem-
peratures (). Furthermore pH of the formulation was
., considered as normal skin pH range i.e. to ,
(). Detailed description is previously reported in ().
In-vivo characterization of the formulation for skin anti-
sebum eff ects
Sebum is produced by halocrine sebaceous glands
connected to the hair follicles. Sebaceous glands are
found everywhere in the body except in palm and
soles. Sebum acts as lubricant and imparts waterproof-
ing properties to the stratum corneum. Any excessive
sebum secretion is associated with pore enlargement
leading to undesireable pathophysiological condition
called acne (). Topical application of α- linoleic acid
and EGCG ((-)-eppigallocatechin--gallate) in animal
model have shown to inhibit sebum production. T is
Page 4
Above mentioned results for formulation seems to promote the concept about green tea multi factorial benefi ts against
sebum production i.e. tea galltes and α- linoleic acid are selective inhibitors of α-reductase (), α- linoleic acid reduces
microcomedone size in micrcomedonal acne (). Further propagation of this study in unhealthy volunteers might be
foundation to speculate about the functionality of green tea extracts delivered topically in opposition to sebum produc-
tion. Hence we suggest that cheaper green tea emulsion should be tested in conditions like acne vulgaris against any
standard treatment to compare its results in unhealthy states.

Ethical Standards
In this study, the clinical research using human subjects was conducted in accordance with the ethical considerations for
human subjects approved by Board of Advance Studies and Research. Healthy human volunteers (male) were selected
whose ages were in between and years. Prior to the tests, the volunteers were examined by a cosmetic expert for
any serious skin disease or damage especially on cheeks and forearms. Before the study, every volunteer was provided
with a volunteer protocol. T is protocol stating the terms and conditions of the testing were signed by every volunteer
individually. Volunteers were not informed about the contents of formulations. All the skin tests were done at oC and
relative humidity conditions. On the fi rst day, patch test (i.e. skin sensitivity test) was performed on the forearms of
each volunteer to determine any possible reactions to the topical emulsion.
activity was due to selective inhibition of α-reductase
(), an enzyme found in sebaceous glands (). T ere
are two isozymes for α-reductase, type and type .
As α- linoleic acid inhibits both type and type while
EGCG inhibits type at concentration of mmol/l ().
In this study effects of the formulation on skin se-
bum production were noted in volunteers and
results for average percent changes in skin se-
bum production are presented in Figure. .
It was found that formulation decreased the sebum con-
tents throughout the study period of days. When jus-
tifi ed statistically results of ANOVA were signifi cant (p
< .) for the formulation with respect to time. Up to our
knowledge this is fi rst study of its kind in which green
tea extract was tested for anti-sebum secretion eff ects
in male healthy volunteers. Further propagation of this
study in unhealthy states would be more imperative to
state the actual potential of green tea emulsion. Fur-
ther study could be based on the study design by Shar-
quie et al would be sound enough to test this emulsion
in unhealthy states like acne vulgaris. In this study they
have compared tea lotion with zinc sulfate solu-
tion in the treatment of acne. Between the two groups
studied in this study, group treated with tea lotion
was found more eff ective in decreasing number of in-
fl ammatory lesions than zinc sulfate solution. It was
concluded from this study that tea lotion was more
superior in its eff ects and could be superior choice than
zinc sulfate solution in treatment of acne vulgaris ().
We also suggest that cheaper green tea emul-
sion without any added substances could be tested
in conditions like acne vulgaris against any standard
treatment to compare its results in unhealthy states.

The 7 Day Belly Blast Diet is a diet and weight loss program by nutritionist Josh Bezoni. A formally obese man, he developed this diet and is now healthy. The diet program claims you can lose a great deal of body fat in just seven days, a program that teaches you how to eat in order to shed belly fat fast and flatten your abs.
What is Calorie Confusion? Basically, what this term means is that you, the person who wants to lose body fat, need to change the overall number of calories that you consume every so often. In the 7 Day Belly Blast Diet, you do so every 7 days. This is why the diet has that name. The program is based on the age old principle: "you are what you eat". Basically, if you eat fattening foods or dishes that are filled with chemicals that make you hungrier or addicted to food (as many of today's processed foods are) you will get fatter and find it very difficult to get rid of belly flab and get flat abs.
The program revolves around eating metabolism boosting food and in a certain way to help your body get rid of calories and melt away fat fast. The idea is simple: food is what makes you either fat or lean. As Josh Bezoni is a renowned nutritionist, he knows the right way you need to eat in order to turn your body into a fat burning machine. He also know all the nutritional traps that are in food that can make you fatter and crave more and more food.
7 Day Belly Blast Diet claims to help you to get the right results that you are looking for. With the 7 Day Belly Blast Diet, you will get all of the best tips and approaches that help you to change the way that your body works. When you use the 7 Day Belly Blast Diet, you will be able to get the healthier approach to detoxify and cleanse your body through diet. With 7 Day Belly Blast Diet, you will finally be able to get the advice of experts with no required meal plans, no sneaky auto ship order, and no other catch that might deter you from buying the product. Overall, this is a program that can help you shed belly fat and eat healthier food so I recommend it for any person who wishes to get leaner.

Just got my bin...how much scrap to 'seed' it with?
My new worm bin was delivered today when I was home for lunch (a "worm factory"), and I have the coir fiber soaking while I'm at work this afternoon so I can get everything set up tonight after work. The worms will be here either later this week, or next week (not sure if they're shipping out this Mon/Tues or next Mon/Tues). I'm excited for them to finally get here!
I've been saving kitchen scraps (in the freezer) to put in the bin so there would be food "ready" for them right away. I'm getting 1 pound of worms to start with. I have tons of shredded newspaper and some old leaves for bedding in addition to the coir.
What I'm wondering is how much of the scraps should I bury just to start with before they get here? A small handful? A certain weight (1/4 - 1/2 lb)? Obviously I don't want to overfeed it right from the start, but I do want to bury some food in there so it starts rotting to be ready when the worms arrive (I've read that's a good way to get them settled in quickly). I'm planning to "pocket feed" for now...
Thanks in advance! :-)
Thanks, Socks. I'll put some in there at lunch today (wanted to be sure I had an estimated amount, if possible).
Here it is, the first tray all ready for some scraps and worms. I put newspaper on the bottom, coir fiber, and then old leaves - I'll add more newspaper/leaves when I put the food in today. Can't wait until my worms get here!
I pretty much do the same, putting my scraps in a sandwich bag, and then into the freezer. Usually the bag is about 1/2 full or less. As you said, allow a couple days before bacteria starts consuming scraps, then the worms get attracted. And then give a couple more days to check and see if it has been consumed. Don't add more until the scraps have been consumed. Otherwise you will start to have problems with excessive heating and maybe too much moisture. Less is better!
Thanks denno. I have a compost crock now, so food can start rotting before I put it out. I seeded the bin with about 1 1/2 cups of scraps, but my worms aren't here yet anyways. It should be well on it's way to good "worm food" by the time they arrive, I guess! :-)
Jamie, I have the same worm bin you have and I love it. I had been using a big plastic storage container, but was having ahard time keeping the worms happy in it, as it dried out so fast on top and stayed too wet on the bottom. I lost most of my worms last winter. So I started again with this nifty little setup and the worms seem much happier now. The bedding stays more uniformly moist and the worms are starting to really move around a lot.
I also have a compost bucket on the kitchen counter and I use the food scraps from it after they've been in it at lease a couple days. Tomatoes, apple peelings, and sweet potato skins seem to be very popular items in the worm community. That worm setup was kind of expensive, I think, for what I got, but I have to say it works a lot better than anything else I've ever tried. Cheryl
Good to know it's working well for you, Cheryl!! I'd hoped to be able to have an opinion by now, but my worms still haven't shown up. :-( Probably because our weather has been bad, but I'm still anxious for them to get here and start working! Meanwhile, I started a regular compost bin to take care of my scraps until then (I figured I'd need it anyways, to take any "extra").
I thought about doing the rubbermaid thing, but it would have cost just as much to buy all the separate containers as it did to buy this 4-tray system, plus my time to drill holes and set it all up. So I'm happy with my purchase so far. I may have hubby build a wooden box to put it in for winter, insulated with foam board and heat tape, so I can keep it right by the back door, since I really think it will be handy to have it right there year round (but the plastic is thinner than I was expecting - good for summer, bad for winter).
With any luck, they'll be here soon, and I can get my little "factory" working...
Hi Jamie!
I too started with something that looks similar to yours, and love the concept.
The only issue I have is the amount of moisture I tend to end up with in the system. I mostly add kitchen scraps, greens etc. Very high moisture content stuff. I have to be really careful to add plenty of DRY shreader newspaper and dry leaves, just to keep the moisture down. It takes the lil' suckers time to get through all that high carbon stuff, but I dont end up with a puddle in the bottom tray. My goal is to have no excess liquid left to fall into the bottom collection area (I think Bill? made that suggestion many moons ago as a rough guide to the correct moisture level in such a system. Sorry to Bill if I'm miss quoting, my memory for names is that of a composting worm!)
The key is patience. Feed less rather than more, and expects slow going for 6 months or more as the population builds. (I'm impatient, and as such added an extra 4000+ to my kick off 1000 after 3 months. Wife unhappy, as they cost the price of a nice dinner out for us both. Now that's what I call vermi-smorgasboard!!) LOL
Good luck!
Fyi - I recommend giving them a combination of foods that will break down quickly (overripe fruit or veggies getting soggy for example) and foods that break down slowly (banana peels or tea bags for example). That way they have something for now and something for later.

iPhone 4s LED light stays on all the time
My wife dropped her iPhone in the toilet. Since then, the camera flash stayed on real bright like a strong flashlight. I removed the battery and dried it in Desiccant for 3 days and light still stayed on. The flash turned off by itself but now the small LED light next to it stays on. What needs replaced to repair this? Or is there something like connectors that need cleaned? I read a lot of post where the White ones (This one is white) people were able to apply pressure to the back and turn it off. That didn't work for me. One guy said he slammed it on his desk and the light went out so I tried slamming it on the carpet and that didn't work either. I took it apart and don't see any obvious water damage but I am not sure where to look. The battery connector showed no signs of corrosion.
The iPhone Geeks took the back off and said there was water damage because a sticker had changed colors. I have read where people say they have never had their phone near water and the sticker changed colors and Apple refused to repair it. I know this one took a bath so I want to fix it. I would appreciate your help.
Thank you!
Edited by: Harold ( ) , iRobot ( )
Harold, the first thing I strongly suggest is that you disassemble your iPhone. Use these guides to work on it. After you have it disassembled, clean all the parts with high grade isopropyl alcohol (90%+ would be perfect). You can follow this guide for the cleaning, it will work for your iPhone. Make sure that you clean all the connectors and cable ends as well. After the cleaning replace the battery and re-evaluate for any damage. It is of course entirely possible that you have some shorted component on the logic board, but unless you start somewhere, it will be just a guessing game.Hope this helps, good luck.
Thank you very much oldturkey03 from another old turkey. It is so hard even seeing those little screws. I am going to have to get a good magnifying glass and then try your suggestions. I will let you know what the result is. Thanks again

Could face contempt in view of HC stricture
Medical services, including emergencies across the State were paralysed on Friday, the first day of the strike by doctors and staff from the Department of Health and Family Welfare.
With the Group D staff also participating in the strike, sanitation and preparation of food for the patients stopped in most hospitals. At K.C. General Hospital in Malleswaram, even water supply to the wards dried up as the employee in charge of water supply did not report for duty.
The government — which on Thursday had announced that action would be initiated against the doctors under the National Security Act (NSA) — declared the strike as illegal on Friday. The doctors were also threatened that they could face contempt charges as the strike was in violation of a Karnataka High Court order dated January 22, 2009.
Nearly 65,000 employees of the Health Department, including 4,000 doctors, are (protesting under the banner of Karnataka Government Health Department Officers and Employees' Welfare Samiti) demanding that the 10 government district hospitals run by the Health Department are delinked from the district medical colleges (coming under the Medical Education Department). The latter were attached to the district medical colleges after 2006, affecting promotional opportunities. For example, doctors working at the taluk level can never hope to work at district hospitals because those already there will remain till they retire as a matter of course.
As for the Health Department staff working in the hospitals, they will be relieved and will be replaced by fresh recruits by the Medical Education Department. This also means that the health staff can never aspire for a district-level posting.
The strikers also want regular payment of salaries and reforms in the transfer policy. Most employees in rural areas, who come under the purview of the zilla panchayats (ZPs), were not paid regularly as the ZPs were diverting funds for other purposes, the doctors alleged.
Samiti president H.N. Ravindra, who has been on a hunger strike from February 4 in support of these demands, was admitted to Bowring Hospital late on Friday night following weakness and fluctuating sugar levels.
M. Madan Gopal, Principal Secretary (Health and Family Welfare), said it was unfortunate that the doctors refused to budge despite several appeals. Insisting that the strike did not affect emergency services, he said existing contractual staff were handling the situation.
Health Director B.N. Dhanya Kumar said contract employees, including 610 Ayush doctors, 66 MBBS doctors, 3,900 staff nurses and 700 auxiliary nurse midwives (ANMs), were managing at the 2,353 primary health centres, 147 taluk hospitals and 27 first referral units.
Worried about patients' plight, a senior doctor said the situation could worsen in the next two days as it was a second Saturday and Sunday.
The Chief Minister has set up a Cabinet sub-committee to examine the issue.

The term is used to refer to the increasing use of fast, multifunction printers (MFPs) to create multiple original copies of documents, as opposed to using photo copiers. When using MFPs, the word mopy can replaces the common word copy, where the equipment would be referred to as a mopier (instead of copier).

Some of the most popular and potent compounds used for our health come straight from the things that we eat and come from common sources of the earth. Take turmeric' for example. Turmeric is a popular spice of the Curcuma longa plant' which is a common branch of the ginger family. Turmeric comes from this plant's rhizomes' which are the stem-like shoots that grow underground of the root. Turmeric in turn has a main compound' its active constituent' known as curcumin. Curcumin is a curcuminoid' a fat-soluble and polyphenolic type of pigment. Curcumin has been the subject of a lot of attention' as its potential benefits have been explored.
Phyto-Curcumin Plus Enzymes 60 capsules by Vital Nutrients is a combination supplement that takes curcumin in its phytosome extract form' which includes Curcuma longa rhizome extract with phosphatidylcholine that is derived from soy.

Ashley Greene Bikini Pictures
I haven't seen the movie Twilight, so I have no clue who Ashley Greene is. In fact, I couldn't tell you most of the actors that were part of the cast, except for Kristen Stewart who always looks strung out on drugs. And judging by these photos Ashley doesn't look much healthier either. That said, let's move along because I have no clue who this chick is and she's not hot enough for me to want to know more about.

this evening i was djing a party where they wanted '90s classics' and it was both disconcerting and unremarkable to see ppl barely out of their teens dancing along to mid-90s house classix; there was little to no divide btw the people who might be old enough to remember the songs i was playing fondly & the people for whom these songs should have little personal/historical meaning... isnt one of the consequences of technology to help divorce cultural artifacts from history?
That's it right there. Good music is good music. Young people aren't supposed to be able to recognize and enjoy good music? The whole cult of the new, and the obsession with timeliness is imo, a strange type of insanity promoted by journalists who are taught to think only about the news.

yeah, i think "anodyne washed-out new order/fleetwood mac" is a good description for most mass market chillwave. there were a few great chillwave acts but there was also a flood of generic "chill" acts -- both synth and guitar-oriented -- and i think those are also part of the movement. i heard this g&tc song for the first time at shake shack.

Led by Aviation and Medical Experts, PSO One Provides Proven Tool for
Improving Patient Safety
LANSING, Mich., Sept. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- The Risk Management and Patient Safety Institute (RM&PSI), a national leader in clinical risk management practices and patient safety programs for health care institutions and providers, today announced a partnership with Battle Creek, Mich.-based PSO One, a pioneer in the development and use of onsite ("in-situ") simulation training experiences for hospitals.
PSO One was born out of the Center of Excellence for Simulation Research at Western Michigan University and seeks to bring the life-like simulation techniques and philosophies widely used in aviation to health care. PSO One is led by Dr. William Hamman, M.D., Ph.D., a doctor and pilot and former manager of human factors and risk assessment for United Airlines. A clinician for 15 years, Hamman is also a 30-year aviation veteran, currently serving as an international captain for United Airlines. Before resuming his piloting position, Hamman was a leader in the industry in applying risk analysis processes to airline operations. Through his research, Hamman has established a reputation as one of the foremost experts on the science of simulation tools and evaluation.
PSO One creates simulation experiences for hospitals based on the principles of the simulation drills utilized by airlines and the FAA to certify and train entire flight teams in a number of complex, team-focused scenarios. In fact, "in-situ" means in place, in the natural or original setting. For health care institutions, this means the simulations focus on team and technical competencies, which take place in the actual hospital setting (i.e. the hospital or a specific department), not in a lab environment, and must involve actual health care teams across many disciplines.
Each scenario PSO One creates is complex, focusing on both teamwork and

Java's New G1 Collector Not For-Pay After All 171
from the trial-balloon-popped dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Those hoops are the same hoops you're jumping through with destructors on C++. It only looks more elegant because the complexity has all been pushed into ensuring that all objects are properly destroyed when they need to be.
It not only "looks more elegant", it is more elegant and concise, because for any given resource type, you write the cleanup code once, and then it is called automatically. With Java, you still write the code once (preferably implementing Closeable), but then you also have to call it manually all the time, resulting in a mess of nested try-finally calls:
InputStream in = new FileInputStream("foo");
try {
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("bar");
try {
} finally {
} finally {
At least C# had the decency to provide syntactic sugar for this in form of using:
using (Stream input = File.Open("foo"))
using (Stream output = File.Create("bar"))
But even that only deals with resources local to a method, not instance fields. And it still isn't automatic.
Even so, this feature alone would make Java so much easier to deal with. I can't believe they decided not to add it to Java 7, especially when there was a sane proposal already, and the implementation is trivial. It's probably the single most convenient feature C# has over Java (considering how often it's used).
Simplicity does not precede complexity, but follows it.

We recently started offering baby massage, and baby massage classes, at our spa in Palisades, NY. I sat down with Patricia Pol, our infant massage therapist and instructor, to ask her about the benefits of massaging your baby. Little did I know there would be so many! Here's what she told me.
Me: What are the benefits of baby massage?
Patricia: There are so many! Massage helps improve your baby's sleeping patterns and digestion. It can also ease congestion and soothe babies with colic. Using long strokes helps with muscle coordination and aids development. It can even help them build up the strength in their neck, hands, and feet. As a way of teaching, you can talk to a baby throughout the massage, telling them what part of the body you are working on. Many studies have shown that massage is helpful for babies and infants with developing problems. It helps improve their coordination by stimulating their neurological systems and improving circulation.
Me: Does it help you bond with your baby?
Patricia: Yes, definitely. More than anything, baby massage is about bonding through the power of touch, especially for fathers, who sometimes have a harder time bonding with a newborn. Baby massage is about being able to leave everything behind for just 10 minutes to focus on your little one. Since the mother connects with the baby through the pregnancy and breastfeeding, massage gives the baby a chance to get used to the father's touch, and it will help the father feel at ease.
Me: What is the best time of day for a baby massage and can you start when the baby is still a newborn?
Patricia: You can start massaging a baby when he or she is still a newborn. Generally, it should be done at a very specific time of day, a time when the baby is usually calm—after an evening bath, for example. They will become used to the routine, and it will help them relax. They may even fall asleep. A screaming baby, however, will not want a massage, and it shouldn't' be forced if the baby doesn't want it.
Me: How long should the massage last? How frequently should you do it?
Patricia: You can do it every day. (If your baby has colic, then you might want to do it for a few minutes several times a day.) You can apply our Calendula Baby Oil to nourish the skin after a bath and massage for a couple of minutes. It's best to start for a minute or two at a time, and then increase the length as the baby gets used to it.
Me: What products should you use when you're doing the massage?
Patricia: It's best to use a natural plant-based lotion, such as our Calendula Lotion, when you're massaging a teeny-tiny newborn. You can also use our Calendula Oil, which is wonderful, but you have to be very careful because you won't have the same grip that you have with the lotion and it will be easier for the baby to slip out of your hands. Calendula Oil helps protect the skin, and the calendula has warming properties. It helps babies with eczema. Certain techniques that you use are similar to adult massage, but because the surface is smaller, you may only use one hand while you're using the other to hold the baby.
Me: Where can a parent go to perfect his or her baby massage technique?
Patricia: Our class at the Weleda Spa in Palisades, NY, lasts for one-hour and costs $80. I would recommend two classes to feel comfortable. I always suggest that people practice with a doll at the first class and then try it on their baby at the second class. A lot of it comes naturally. You can learn certain techniques for the stomach, for digestion, but a lot of it is just about that loving, soothing touch.

Amazing!!! I have dry skin overall, but am oily in my T zone sometimes. I have a little eczema on my face and am getting older, so I have those trouble spots - you know what I'm talking about if you're older. I am in love with this product, it's the first time I have found something that actually feels like it deeply and truly revitalizing my skin. It smoothes things out and if I decide not to wear makeup on the weekend and put this on after my shower, my face looks like it's glowing (and stays soft all day). It is seriously refreshing to have found this.I have been using it about 3 times a week and it's a miracle for me this winter. Don't ever get rid of this product, please!!!
My first time to try this product. Highly recommended by my cousin who's skin looks stunning even without any makeup.
I just started using the White Mallow facial cream (baby derma) on my adult skin, and I can't thank you enough for this product. I have sensitive and very dry skin, on top of living in Minnesota which has one of the coldest driest and longest winters in the country. Since using the White Mallow facial cream, my skin has felt soft and moisturized all day, and I only need to apply the cream once a day, which is unheard of for me in the winter; usually I need to re-apply a few times. This is remarkable given that I spend a lot of time in the cold winter windchill, as I bus all over the city every day. All that AND the cream is fragrance free, which is a must with my sensitive skin. My skin also looks so much healthier, and I have fewer blemishes. Prior to this, I had used the same facial lotion for a year, and while it moisturized well, it made my skin look red and very dull for some reason. I wish I had tried this Weleda product much sooner. It's so uplifting to see that my facial skin looks healthy again and that it even can look healthy in the winter even despite the dry weather. I hope Weleda continues this specific product for a LONG time! Thank you!

SOCHI-Susan Dunklee made her Olympic Debut Sunday morning, and did herself proud! Her first race was the WomenŌĆÖs 7.5km Sprint where she placed 14th, the highest finish for any American competing in the event.
Dunklee got off to a good start Sunday, as she was in 17th for the 1st lap and 18th on the 2nd.
Unfortunately, on the 3rd lap she missed her last shot resulting in a penalty lap that cost her an additional 23 seconds.
Her finishing time was 21 min. 48.3 sec., 41.3 sec. behind leader.
Dunklee said she felt like she had that last shot, but that she thought about it just a little too much.
ŌĆ£You play the what-if game, and itŌĆÖs a very small fraction of a second that can make or break that moment,ŌĆØ Dunklee told reporters after the race.
Her 14th place standing will be her starting position in TuesdayŌĆÖs race
Ida Sargent has yet to race but she did participate in the Parade of Nations on Friday. According to her blog, ŌĆ£I still have not found the words to describe the how unbelievable it was.ŌĆØ She explains the unbelievable excitement from the crowd and the athletes ŌĆō a one of a kind experience that doesnŌĆÖt translate on a television screen.
