Dr Justin Yerbury won't give up the fight to help others with motor neurone disease
There's a photo of Dr Justin Yerbury, aged around five years old, playing dress-ups with his little sister Naomi.
The pair has remained close, as tragedy has struck their family time and again. They've lost their mother Pauline, their sister Sarah and other family members to a cruel disease – one with neither cure nor any effective treatment options.
One that goes by the name of motor neurone disease, or simply MND. A baffling degenerative disease in which sufferers progressively lose the use of their limbs, and ability to speak, swallow and breathe, while their mind and senses usually remain intact. They effectively become 'locked in'.
It's random in nine out of 10 cases, but 50 per cent of Justin and Naomi's family have the gene that leads to the disease. That family history spurred the young Wollongong man to give up his pro-basketball career, playing for the Illawarra Hawks, and delve into the field of molecular biology to dedicate his career to unlocking the key to MND.
He and his sister have taken tests to see if they have the faulty gene – Dr Yerbury just a few years ago. Naomi was given the all-clear; he was not.
Now, as the disease slowly paralyses him – he can only move his head, face, eyes and left foot – his sister Naomi Cocksedge looks back on that treasured childhood photograph.
"I always go back to that photo of us as children wearing dress-up, Justin as batman, because he is and has always been my superhero," she said last Friday, as her brother readied for another operation at Sydney's Macquarie University Hospital.
"MND is something you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy. It takes everything from you, you're left with your mind, you're just in a shell. It's devastating.
"Justin is still fighting each day, he's never giving up. I just can't understand how he can lay there and do this and still have the passion and the fight and want to help others.
"He's just such an amazing person, he's the kindest human I know."
There's nothing more Dr Yerbury wants to do than get back to his wife and two daughters, back to his life's work to help others with the deadly diagnosis. Even as he replies to the Mercury's questions using his computer with eye recognition technology on Friday, his thoughts are not on his own plight.
"Many people are diagnosed with MND and must cope with the prognosis," he said. "I have, with the help of my dedicated team, hardworking colleagues and support from my family, continued to work towards a future treatment for this disease."
The symptoms of MND started to show in May 2016. "My first symptoms were in my right hand. It has since spread to all limbs and to the muscles for breathing," he said.
Living with the knowledge she's been spared is bittersweet for Ms Cocksedge.
"When Justin found out he carried the gene some years ago he was left waiting and wondering. It's almost like a ticking time bomb – especially when you see other family members being diagnosed and dying," she said.
Dr Yerbury, 44, has spent the last decade studying the disease which affects around 2000 Australians, alongside his team at the Illawarra Health and Medical Research Institute (IHMRI) based at the University of Wollongong.
Much of the research focuses on determining the cause of the disorder, in which the nerve cells (neurones) controlling the muscles that enable us to move, speak, breathe and swallow begin to degenerate and die. It's vital research, and it's led to new insights into the disease – and to the development of potential therapeutics which are currently in the test phase.
"One of the biggest questions in the field of MND is trying to understand why, out of all the billions of neurons in the brain, why motor neurones die in the case of MND," Dr Yerbury told the Mercury last May. "If we understand why they die that will help us preserve them, and that will hopefully lead to an effective treatment to slow the progression of the disease down."
Last April Dr Yerbury met with world-famous British physicist and cosmologist Professor Stephen Hawking, who died on March 14 at 76 after living with MND for over 50 years. Movingly, Prof Hawking provides the introduction to an episode of ABC's Australian Story on Dr Yerbury's life, and quest for a cure, that will air at 8pm on Monday night.
The episode – filmed several weeks ago before more recent declines in his condition – hears from Dr Yerbury, from his wife Rachel, and his sister Naomi. For Dr Yerbury, his wife of 23 years is his rock. "I have much support from my family and friends but my amazing wife Rachel is the strongest person I know and I couldn't do this without her," he said.
Ms Cocksedge has helped her brother raise awareness, and funds, for MND. A firefighter, she climbs the Sydney Tower for the Firies Climb for MND each year.
"So many diseases out there at least have some treatment options, at least there's a chance. With MND there isn't a chance," she said.
"With so much loss and heartache and family devastation in our story, what we want to get across is Justin's dedication to finding a cure.
"We want to focus on his research and where that can possibly go in the future, and the fact that we do need more funding to find that cure."
See Dr Yerbury's story on Australian Story, ABC, tonight at 8pm.

Step 1: Starting the Conversation
Choosing the breeder of your future dog is a big undertaking and we want to make sure you feel confident in your decision. Feel free to contact us via email (preferred) or phone with any questions that you have. We will make every effort to answer your questions promptly and truthfully!
Step 2: Completing Your Application
If you have settled on Hilltop Pups as your breeder, please fill out our application form, located under the "Adoption Information" header. The application will inform us of your puppy preferences and the type of environment in which your pup will be raised. If you have any questions about the application, let us know and we will be happy to assist!
Once we have reviewed your application, we will notify you via email that your application has been approved and that you are cleared to submit a deposit. Please note that, as the breeder, we reserve the right to refuse any sale at any time and to retain a puppy for the betterment of our program. In this case, you will be refunded any money paid to Hilltop Pups.
Step 3: Reserving a Spot on the Waiting List
In order to reserve a spot on your litter's waiting list, a $400 deposit is required. If the litter does not produce a desirable puppy, a refund of the deposit will be honored if the request is made within 24 hours of the first pictures being posted; otherwise, deposits are non-refundable. However, you do have the option of using the deposit in the future or transferring it to another litter.
The quickest and most convenient way to submit a deposit is via the PayPal link on the "Payment Info" page of our website. Alternatively, you can mail us a deposit check; just email us when you mail the check so that your name can be immediately added to the waiting list.
If you have not predetermined whether you want a male or female puppy, you are required to do so by the time the litter is one week old. Your gender preference will be posted by your last name on the website, though we can post a name as a surprise, if needed!
Step 4: Visiting Your Litter
You are both welcome and encouraged to visit our home and our dogs, for you have the right to see where your beloved companion is coming from. Abby stays home part-time to run our breeding program and will gladly show you the puppies and dogs. With that being said, please be respectful of our property by scheduling a visitation appointment. More information on visitation scheduling is available on our "Visits & Pick-up" page.
Step 5: Picking Your Puppy
Picks for our litters are honored in the order in which the deposits are received. We require you to make your choice by the time the puppies are 5 weeks old, in respect for the individuals and families listed below you on the waiting list. We will send out an email notifying you when it is your turn to pick. From that time, you will have 24 hours to inform us of your pick, otherwise a puppy will be designated for you based on your known preferences.
Step 6: Paying for Your Puppy
Full payment is required on the day that you choose your puppy. The purchasing price for our puppies start at $2,500 up to $3,500 for rare color puppies.If you choose to have your puppy shipped, no sales tax is charged when the puppies fly out of Louisville, Kentucky. A $400 shipping fee is applied, however.
Cash is always the preferred method of payment, however you may also use PayPal, personal checks, cashier checks, or postal money orders. Personal checks should be submitted two weeks in advance of your puppy going home to ensure that the check clears. Similarly, cashier checks will need to be verified before they are accepted. Please refer to the "Payment Info" page for more information.
Step 7: Preparing for Your Puppy
To prepare for the arrival of your new puppy, you will need to buy a crate and playpen, food and feeding supplies (buy stainless steel bowls for bacteria control), grooming supplies, cleaning supplies, and a variety of toys. For a detailed list of needed supplies, please visit the "Puppy Essentials" page. This page highlights the Puppy Essentials Package, which includes all of the necessities at a wholesale price, shipped to your home; it's a very convenient option!
Step 8: Taking Your Puppy Home
Once the puppies are 8 weeks old, you may choose to either pick up your puppy in person or to have it shipped to you. Puppies are usually flown using United Airlines Pet Safe program, though we occasionally use Delta and American Airlines as well. We've always had positive experiences shipping our puppies, with them arriving safe, well rested, and ready to meet their new families.
On pick-up day, you will receive the following:
- Clean, microchipped puppy, with dewclaws removed
- Prepaid application to transfer your contact information onto the microchip
- Signed copy of the Health Warranty and Purchase Agreement
- Veterinarian record of your puppy's vaccinations and deworming schedule

Please refer to the "Raising Your Pup" section of the FAQ for additional information and resources on raising the perfect companion!

SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT | 4 minute read
In certain industries, recall rates are high enough to be factored in as part of the business process. For example, the industry average for automotive recalls currently stands at 1,115 per 1000 cars sold, as a single vehicle can be recalled multiple times for different reasons. In the food industry, recalls have nearly doubled since 2002 and half of these food recalls have cost the affected companies over USD $10 million. And as the medical tech industry grows, the rate of medical device recalls in the U.S. has increased by 97% over the last 10 years.
Recalls can be caused by product issues or health and safety concerns, and they can be a costly affair for any affected business. After all, on top of the costs of replacing the product and rectifying the issue at hand, a recall can affect other areas of your business as well.
With over 2500 product recalls annually in the USA alone, recalls should be considered a potential threat to any business, particularly in areas like brand perception and customer confidence.
Planned action is always preferable to reaction, especially with something as potentially harmful to a business and brand as a product recall. With batch tracking functionality like the one offered by TradeGecko's order management system, you can overcome the headaches of a recall by taking proactive steps. By taking the right measures in the event of a recall, you can turn it into an opportunity to enhance the public's perception of both your brand and your business.
Reach out to one of our product experts for more information on how TradeGecko can help you with Batch and Expiry Tracking!

Gaillardes escapades: Montaigne's Experience of Beauty
As he reflects on his own book's composition in his essay "On vanity," Montaigne recalls passages from several of the Ancients and exclaims that their gaillardes escapades make them beautiful. Those two words point to aesthetic values that motivate the Essays and that, Montaigne insists, engage the reader. The rich lexical scope of gaillardes escapades, both in the Essays and in some works of Montaigne's contemporaries, helps us to appreciate one experience of beauty in sixteenth-century France.

There's a stretch of highway in my mind that speaks of life's possibilities, the freedom of the open road, the wanderlust that eats at every man's heart, the potential of things seen and unseen. There are no billboards there, the road is empty, I pull my car to the side of the road and look along this endless stretch of imaginary highway and feel that anything is possible, that I stand in some warm place beyond time, that every detail has infinite beauty and importance.
And then there's the stretch of highway along the Town Lake hike and bike trail. Interstate 35, to be exact. Sure, there's plenty of potential there, but perhaps just to get run over and flattened by an endless swarm of cars, or perhaps to trip and fall over a pile of garbage.
Michael and I ran down there this morning, across the bridge adjacent to I-35. Quite a nice view of the lake from the bridge, actually.
But I return to my original thought. I-35 is foul in its own way, tis true, but the road leads both north and south all the way out of the country. The possibility of foreign soil, new situations, unknown tongues, strange faces; it's almost enough to run and keep running, all alongside the highway, disregarding the traffic onslaught and keeping the mind moored to thoughts of adventures in far-off lands. Of course, a run to Canada might take awhile. Perhaps by month three, the enthusiasm would begin to wane a bit, perhaps somewhere around MInneapolis. Then I suppose I could just hitch a ride with a pickup truck and run in place in the back bed, and be magically transported.
Ah, the open road.

Bronson Howard (October 7, 1842 in Detroit – August 4, 1908 in Avon-by-the-Sea, New Jersey) was a well-known American dramatist. He prepared for college at New Haven, Conn., but instead of entering Yale he turned to Journalism in New York. From 1867 to 1872 he worked on several newspapers, among them the Evening Mail and the Tribune. As early as 1864 he had written a dramatic piece (Fantine) which was played in Detroit. His first important play was Saratoga, produced by Augustin Daly in 1870. It was very successful and became the first of a long series of pieces which gave Mr. Howard a foremost position among American playwrights. Among his other best-known plays are:...

As a result of this self-importance is so shallow, it is splendid for this small area, but once we add the top, with its integrated sink, the entire thing may have a really good custom look even though we solely paid about 480 dollars for it. Putting in the tap and the drain before you set the sink makes the job so much easier because, as soon as it's in place, all you must do is join the availability line to the P-lure to get the sink up and working.
Enduring, waterproof, and good-trying, ceramic tile toilet flooring is the classic, by no means-out-of-fashion surface material for any toilet. Thanks to an unlucky paint shade selection, the walls look as in the event that they were hosed down with Pepto Bismal. In case you've got the price range, you won't remorse implementing this trend into your lavatory remodel.
Thanks for sharing some rest room transform concepts. A small toilet renovation , carried out by a transforming contractor and utilizing builder grade materials, may cost a little as little as $18,000. Time is relative and, when you're remodeling your kitchen, it correlates on to the to the amount of work that needs to be accomplished. Small children want a bathtub; showers are ineffective.

With comments by the Common Constutionalist [ ]
Wall Street Journal columnist and former Reagan staffer Peggy Noonan said in a Wall Street Journal video released Thursday that Mitt Romney "looked Weak today." She added, "At one point, he had a certain slight grimace on his face when he was taking tough questions from the reporters. And I thought, 'He looks like Richard Nixon.' "
Noonan was referring to Romney's news conference Wednesday morning were he doubled down on his attacks on President Obama after the killing of a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans in Libya.
On Fox News Wednesday Noonan said "I don't feel that Mr. Romney has been doing himself any favors, say in the past few hours, perhaps since last night," She added, "Sometimes when really bad things happen, when hot things happen, cool words or no words is the way to go." [ And sometime things just have to be said, whether moderates recoil from it or not ]
She tried to give Romney some advice saying "I think… that in times of great drama and heightened crisis, and in times when something violent has happened to your people, I always think discretion is the better way to go," Noonan said. "When you step forward in the midst of a political environment and start giving statements on something dramatic and violent that has happened, you're always leaving yourself open to accusations that you are trying to exploit things politically." [ Hey Peggy; news flash. Romney will not get a fair hearing from the press, no matter what he says or does not say, as plainly demonstrated by last weeks audio of reporters colluding against him. ]
Noonan knows what she is saying. She worked for Ronald Reagan. In 1980 when the effort to free the hostages in Iran failed because U.S. helicopters crashed in the desert, Reagan did not come out blasting President Carter. Instead, he said that "this is a time for all Americans to come together and mourn the dead Americans and pray for the hostages." [ There is a difference. Carter was just wholly inept. Obama doesn't care, nor, it appears, does Hilary Clinton.]
It was not until six full days later that Ronald Reagan made a political statement about how he disagreed with President Carter's policies. Reagan is Romney's hero but perhaps not a role model.
Romney came out Tuesday night with a political statement blasting Obama before he knew any of the facts. The next morning after he knew the identity of just one of the victims, he doubled down on his attacks. [ Yes, and it was much worse after just some of the facts were revealed. Frankly he should've heve triple-downed, if there is such a thing. ]
When asked about Romney's statements, President Obama told CBS's Steve Kroft "Governor Romney has a tendency to shoot before he aims, and as President I learned you can not do that." [ Really Mr. President? Not like the time when you're buddy, the professor from Cambridge was arrested, and before anything was known of the incident, you claimed the police acted stupidly. That was a calculated and thoughtful response.]
Most Republican leaders and politicians have taken a muted posture on the Embassy killings focusing instead on sending condolences and prayers to the families of the slain. However, Romney's and his running mate Paul Ryan have continued to double down on criticism of the President. [ Well goody for them. We all know, most of the republican leaders are afraid of their own shadows.]
Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, and Ann Coulter have come to Romney's defense, however. The problem with that is that the people that listen to Coulter, Palin, and Limbaugh would vote for Romney over Obama even if Mitt were arrested nude on the Capitol steps for a sex crime, high on drugs, shooting at the police.
The people that listen to Peggy Noonan and other sane and thoughtful voices are independents and persuadable voters that Romney needs. He already has the anti-Obama far right wing and the anti-Islam faction. [ Ah yes. Here we go with the beloved independents. That's where the election is won. NOT! If old Peggy was such an expert on Reagan she would know that's not what Ronaldus Magnus did. He boldly proclaimed his
conservative ideals and ideas and the people followed him, because they knew he meant it. He did not try to couch his speech or move to the beloved center. Ms. Noonan, you may have been a conservative once upon a time, but you've been inside the beltway for too long. You, my dear, are a moderate, which is simply a liberal without the courage to admit it.]
Romney does not look like he is ready for prime time. He looks amateurish and insensitive. He has an empathy problem and this just reinforced that. Obama is President and he is looking Presidential. Romney and Ryan look desperate, political, opportunistic, and unsteady. Romney has failed a test on national TV, in prime time, but he keeps on digging in deeper. [ Wow. Romney is one the most caring and sensistive people in public view that I know of. Here is just one example. From what I understand there are dozens more like it that the general public knows nothing of. ]
Romney's statement was not a spur of the moment event. He and his campaign had over 12 hours to think it over before he issued the first statement. The reason is conservatives like Limbaugh, Coulter, Palin, and Laura Ingram have been screaming at Romney to "get ideological on Obama." They want him to attack, attack, and attack–with gloves off. So, that is what he is doing. [ And good for him. Someone needs to call the president out for who he really is.]
Time will tell, but it looks like Romney is getting bad advice. A strong leader would get that advice, but have the wisdom to ignore it given the nature and gravity of the situation. It does not appear right now that Romney is winning hearts and minds with his approach.
[ Peggy, my advice to you is to check in at the nearest moderates nursing home and leave the real conservative thought to those of us that see this country is in real trouble and Romney is our best hope for possibly taking it back from radicals that have taken over. Maybe the home will give you a group discount if you bring some others with you, like John McCain, John Boehner, Bill Kristol, Mitch McConnell, et al.]

At GDC 2009, Keita Takahashi - the man behind virtual LSD trips Katamari Damacy and Noby Noby Boy denied he'd ever used drugs. That's right, folks - his special kind of insanity is completely natural.
If you've ever played the wonderfully strange roll-em-up Katamari Damacy - let alone the completely bizarre Noby Noby Boy - you're probably aware that the mind of Keita Takahashi is a strange and wonderful place.
While the prevalence of mushrooms and strange multi-frond plants in the Katamari Damacy opening might lead some to believe that Takahashi's creativity is fueled by some, *ahem* less-than-legal substances, the man took the opportunity at GDC 2009 to disabuse any notions of drug use: "I don't use drugs at all. I don't drink," said Takahashi, according to Kotaku. "Please, don't worry about me." Apparently, he's that crazy all on his own.
Beyond refuting any allegations of drug use, though, Takahashi's talk revealed that while the man might indeed be totally nuts, he's ... also sort of brilliant, in a way. The two often go hand-in-hand, to be fair. Some of the man's quotes as reported by Kotaku are just ... well, I really have no words.
On Noby Noby Boy's design: "I wanted to show an ironic point of view about our consumption-based society. But I wanted to make more objects. If [the game] were empty, I would feel empty or lonely. When I made Katamari Damacy and objects were rolled up into a ball, they were gone. I felt empty. I feel this way about our disposable society."
On unforeseen Noby Noby Boy development: "I wanted to create a game where even the developers couldn't see what was coming. Of course I wasn't thinking about debugging at this point. The people who did the debugging asked me what was a bug. I couldn't answer that."
On users versus players: "Hiyao Miyazaki, the film director, says that children today are not playing, they're consumers. I think that's true. In Japan, people who play games are called 'users.' I think games should be played. Perhaps it's minute, but that bothered me. We just throw around the term users and that bothers me."
On workplace violence: "People who come to the company call them users and that makes me so mad I want to bonk them! Sometimes I think they should die."
On sales: "Maybe I should make sure that Noby Noby Boy should only be available on PlayStation 3 and only available by download. That way, maybe it won't sell that much. It's only been available for a month or so, but I was right! It's not selling that much. That's probably not a good thing."
Honestly, I'm kind of flabbergasted. I also kind of want to buy that guy a drink - even if he wouldn't accept it. Those are some of my favorite quotes, but they aren't the only ones - check out the rest over at Kotaku, if you're interested.
What can I say? The dude's a genius. A completely insane genius, but a genius nonetheless.

We had another stray cat come into work today that we loved and cuddled and held and fed and between us all, found a home. This one was 10 months old, not a kitten like Mel(low Yellow), and as regal as your lion, even in all her fear. :-)

Ready to howl! This lion looks like a wolf, and I'm loving it..

Great thought!
Hey chrispito! Consider this the mascot for the Sequoia Adams Performance Project. A lone wolf in lion's garb and his proud heart. With Saturn's dignity. We can't fail.
- said...
We can't fail and we won't fail. I got a call to perform at the yearly Illuminaries/Lantern festival that happens here every summer...except that suddenly all of my pals want to dress up and roam the park all night, independant of the organization (which is called the Public Dreams Society, and is a wonderful organization).
This seems too perfect to me...gather friends around and roam the park. I dedicate in advance to the Sequoia Performance Project.
Thanks for constantly reminding me of how to 'sprout.' ::)

Public Dreams Society
OMG. OMG. Saturn-Neptune taking hold. In the park all night. Freedom, grace, beauty....all for the love of it.
This is incredible chrispito.
To the SAPP. Arise and triumph.
- said...
Jm! You should google them! They are an awesome organization and I had the pleasure to perform with them twice. But many people from the city converge on the festivals and perform on their own. That's what I'd like to do this year. That's what I will do, too :)
- jm said...
Good idea. Oh that Google!
This is where are energy should go. Public dreams. I hope you will have a full report.
- said...
I know eh? What a funny word to enter the lexicon: google it. It always makes me thinking of googly eyes!
- jm said...
You are so right. Googly eyes.
It's a great word and has become part of our whole structure. Just "Google it" means we have all the answers at our fingertips. It's been so fast in developing too. Other things can grow this quickly.
- said...
"other things can grow this quickly"
they sure can: kindness, integrity, playfulness, joy...basically everything that the highest vibration of Saturn in Leo :)

This stunning pup doesn't just have one adorable blue and one brown eye like Mama #Brand, She's also got the sweetest temperament to match.
Rosé is about 9 weeks old and a tiny 9 pounds and came to us from a shelter with her mom and three littermates. She is currently fostered with a cat, a dog and young children and is doing excellent with all. Her mom is about 45 pounds full grown so we expect her to be in the same range. She's a smart gal who is picking up on commands and potty training really quick too! She will continue to thrive in any home that will keep her active and socialized and is sure to bring so much joy to any family.

Some customers have noticed their t-shirt hair towel becomes even more absorbent after washes! And since they're made with organic cotton, they are high quality so they hold up well to daily use and frequent washes.
Machine wash cold. Non-chlorine bleach when needed. Gentle cycle. Tumble dry low.
Our t-shirt hair towels are the same shape as your regular bath towel (a rectangle). They're just a more manageable size and lightweight so when it's plopped on your head, it actually stays in place and doesn't pull on your hair!
Wrap your hair the same way as you have been doing your whole life! If you prefer not to wrap your hair, that's fine - you'll still notice positive results! Simply blot excess water and gently squeeze your hair in sections.
Check out our YouTube channel for videos showing 4 ways to wrap our towel! (Copy and paste into your browser)
Wash the towel before use. It will soften and increase absorption. And don't worry about it shrinking - we factored in the 5% shrinkage rate when we made the towel!
Our packaging choices were made with the earth and simplicity in mind while offering sufficient protection.
The cellophane bag protects the towel from dust and keeps it neatly in storage. It also protects it from chemicals at our salon retailers. It is biodegradable. When we run out of our current supply, we are planning to switch to a recyclable polyethylene bag made with 100% recycled content.
The postcard insert is made with recycled content and is recyclable.
The colored poly mailer is recyclable and we plan to switch to one made with recycled content.

Thank you for making a towel-shaped hair towel instead of those weird cone-shaped things that don't ever seem to fit my head or my hair properly. Love this!

This is a great towel to have. I hesitated to buy it at first because of the price, but it is very much worth it. I have long thick hair, and regular bath towels have been hurting my head after washing my hair and wrapping. even an old, smaller bath towel was a pain in the butt. But this organic head wrap towel is thin, very absorbent, and lightweight. I barely know it's there. It's a pretty design as well. It washes without shrinking.

This is the second t-shirt towel I've purchased. The first was for me, the second for my cousin. I even told a friend about how much I loved it and she got one as well. So great for us curly girls!

Hey Everyone
2017 February's fist mid-day post is Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick Jealous Review,Swatch,Photos
I have these lipsticks on my mind since Estee Lauder revamped and launched their pure color lipsticks in 2015. Much of a routine disappointment, these pigmented lipsticks made their way to Asian markets lot later.Now when Nykaa Luxe Store started selling Estee Lauder, I could not restrained myself picking up atleast one among these long desired lipsticks. Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipsticks are available in 20 gorgeous shades ranging from nudes to bold reds with berries and pinks in between. I picked shade Jealous 270, which is a lovely warm pink color perfect for spring and summer. For more on this ,keep reading
Price: 2300 INR ( Buy here at Nykaa.com)
Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick Jealous Review
Brand Claims:
Color with the power to transform your lips, your look, your attitude. INTENSIFIES – Saturates lips with high-intensity color-in one stroke. Lip-sculpting statement shades for all skin tones.
SCULPTS – Multi-faceted pigments create definition. Lips look beautifully shaped, sculpted, curvaceous.

Sensually soft and smooth, luxuriously comfortable. The lipstick bullet is shaped to sculpt the curves of your lips. The case feels like luxury in your hands. And with one click, case closed. Full Coverage 6-hour Wear. The first sculpting lipstick. Transforms your lips.
My Review
Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick Jealous 270 is a gel cream formula housed in navy blue packaging with lovely golden accents. Brand logo is tastefully placed on golden lid top as well as on lipstick barrel inside while the base bears the name of the shade.Lipstick lid has magnetic closure which makes the packaging travel safe. Lipstick bullet is chiseled to ease the application along the curves of lips – concept behind labelling it as sculpting lisptick.New packaging of Estee Lauder lipsticks look modern,stylish and sturdy.
Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick Jealous is lovely warm coral pink shade that will compliment fair to medium skin tones.In the FOTD,I have paired it up with lovely rose gold eyeshadow and touch of color on my cheeks. Beautiful warm pink that brightens up your day and white outfits.
Estee Lauder Pure color Envy Sculpting Lipstick Jealous has cream gel texture which glides on lips smoothly and wears comfortable. Formula has 'Time release Encapsulated Moisture Complex' with hyaluronic acid that keeps lips moisturized and soft throghout the wear.Lipstick has faint vanilla scent which disappears within second of application. I get complete opacity on my slightly pigmented lips in two swipes.It applies with lovely satin finish with touch of shine that lasts for up to 4-5 hours on my lips with minimal eating.Lipstick wears mess proof without smearing or feathering and disappears leaving a lovely pink stain on my lips.
Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick Jealous glides smoothly on my lips and gives full coverage in two swipes.Jealous 270 is part of pink – coral family and will look particularly flattering on fair to medium skin tones. Formula wears comfortable,hydrating and light weight on lips due to its cream-gel texture. It settles down to lovely soft satin finish and doesn't bleed. Formula lasts for about 4-5 hours before fading down to an attractive pink stain. However, I could not grasp this range being promoted as sculpting lipstick. It has multi faceted pigments that adds definition to lips but does not sculpt lips as such.It is expensive but worth the splurge.
Have you checked Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick collection? Which shade you have or will like to buy?How do you like this shade Jealous ? Any thoughts on formula or resemblance with Tom Ford lipsticks – Do mention in comments below

Why Offer a Weight Loss Program?
Obesity exacerbates many health problems and the healthcare costs for the obese tend to be higher than healthy weight individuals. However, to date insurers have not been allowed to charge different premiums based on the weight of the insured. In the United States the prevalence of obesity has been increasing at an alarming rate. Current estimates have two-thirds of Americans either overweight (34%) or obese (31%) . Although Health Risk Assessment (HRA) data will quantify the extent of the need for weight loss in a given employee pool, it is anticipated that the number will follow the same percentages as the general population. The prevalence of diabetes within the population, and those at risk for diabetes, suggests that weight loss may be the number one priority. A study found that gaining as few as 11 to 18 pounds can double the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes . Obesity is directly associated with a higher incidence of serious chronic conditions, including diabetes, asthma, arthritis, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and coronary heart disease.
A study completed in 2005 of over 20,000 full-time employees by the Centers for Disease Control and RTI International (a non-profit think tank) found that each obese employee costs their employer anywhere from $460 to $2,500 annually in additional medical expenditures and work absences. More recent studies have shown that the actual costs are likely much higher.
Weight loss has been shown to lower blood pressure and blood sugar, and improve lipid levels. Research also shows that improving the health risk profile reduces healthcare costs and may improve productivity.
Weight loss programs that have the best outcomes are those that assist individuals in making necessary and sustainable modifications to their eating and exercise habits through medical supervision, individual diet modification, and frequent interaction with a medical professional .
Data also suggests that to maintain long-term weight loss it is critical for care providers to understand and address the underlying psychological issues that accompany obesity, and to develop a "therapeutic bond" to assist the patient as they modify their behavior and choices.
Why Partner with Lindora?
The medically supervised programs developed by Lindora Clinic provide the clinical interaction necessary to achieve and maintain significant weight loss. The company's 45 year track record supports the efficacy of their program in addressing both obesity and, on a preventive and remedial basis, the co-morbidities of obesity including Type 2 Diabetes. The results of an internal retrospective study of new patients' weight loss during their first ten-week program are shown below.
Another internal study of 584 Blue Cross of California members demonstrated significant improvements in metabolic risk factors after the initial Lindora 10 week weight loss program.
The Lindora Clinic program can yield tremendous results in addressing obesity and related health costs associated with it among the participating employees. This is indicated in an article published in the Spring 2005 issue of The Bariatrician. This article was produced by clinicians that were affiliated with Lindora; however, the report provides the clinical information and outcomes data for the Lindora Clinic method of weight loss over a twelve-month time frame. The study reported that the greater the patient's starting BMI the greater their total and percentage of weight loss. Of particular note was the patient group with a starting BMI greater than 40. Those individuals' body weights had decreased 17% at the end of the first year. To encourage employees to take advantage of this program, consideration should be given to offering additional incentives that may ensure a long-term commitment from those who participate. These incentives could include; reduction of employee plan contribution, subsidy for food products, milestone achievement bonuses, and time off at completion of program.
Overview of the Lindora Clinic Program
The Lindora weight management program is a medically based, proprietary weight loss and weight management program. The program and protocols has evolved since 1971 through continuous patient treatments within a specialty medical practice. It is built upon a multi-faceted physiological, behavioral and cognitive therapeutic lifestyle change approach to promote long-term results.
It provides a personalized program that addresses each aspect of the patient's core lifestyle (e.g., nutrition, physical, psychological, social support and stress management). The program has two main phases: weight loss and lifetime maintenance. The weight loss phase utilizes a reduced calorie diet which facilitates converting the body's stored fat to energy. Daily menus consist of lean proteins and fruits and vegetables, as well as small protein based snacks. During this phase, the patient visits the clinic multiple times per week to meet one-on-one with a licensed nurse or health educator that has extensive knowledge of the Lindora Clinic program to review their Daily Action Plan and Food Diary; record their weight; discuss their "plan of action" for any anticipated challenges; develop strategies for addressing those challenges. The frequent short visit modality supports and reinforces the behavior change process. These daily visits take 5-7 minutes. During each visit the requisite therapeutic bond with the clinician is established, providing the patient with accountability required for their success.
The Lifetime Maintenance phase is structured to reinforce the healthy habits that are necessary to maintain the achieved weight loss results. This unique component of the Lindora program is the core upon which the patient's long-term success is built.
During this phase patients continue to visit the clinic regularly, but less frequently. This structure provides the continued accountability that reinforces lifestyle changes. If necessary, a brief "refresher" weight loss program can be recommended. Depicted below is change from patient's starting weight at initial program to the most recent weight for patients who presented at a Lindora clinic for a weight check in 2008. The cohort includes all patients who presented in 2008 and had a first weight loss program 5 or more years prior. The data shows that of this cohort 79.07% of patients maintained baseline or lower weight levels.
The Lindora Patient Experience
The Initial Contact: This is an introductory visit. During this visit the prospective patient will meet with a program expert (Lindora Clinic trained nurse, provider, or health educator). An evaluation will be made based on weight, BMI and Lindora's proprietary health risk assessment. A few moments will be spent to introduce the elements of the Lindora weight management program and the health benefits of achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Together the program expert and patient will set goals and create a plan for realizing those goals.
Prior to beginning treatment: All patients complete a health and medical history allowing for the assessment of any specific healthcare concerns. Each patient also completes a demographic questionnaire. A focused review of the patient's medical history, lab screening results and a brief physical exam is completed by the medical provider specifically trained in the Lindora Program and bariatric medicine (Doctor, Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant).
Comprehensive laboratory blood screenings are completed to evaluate for underlying physical conditions or deficiencies that could require medical attention prior to beginning the intervention of the Lindora Clinic Program
Lindora Clinic Food Products
Although the Lindora program can be successfully completed only with food purchased from a local grocery store, we offer a line of compliant products as a convenience. These products are formulated to provide an optimal blend of high grade protein, carbohydrates and nutrients to keep you feeling full, help you avoid cravings, protect your lean muscle and keep you energized. Each product must pass a rigorous taste test process before we will sell it because we understand that regardless of the qualities of the ingredients it the product doesn't taste good it will be used less often, reducing their value. Our products prove you can have great taste and the nutrition your body needs without the high fat and carbohydrates of other energy bars or protein products. It only takes one bite to recognize the quality difference.
Promotion of a Healthy Lifestyle is Key
According to the American Heart Association, it is critical that wellness marketing programs take a variety of forms and include a range of outreach efforts in order to achieve maximum participation. For the highest participation levels, we recommend using the following methods for promoting the program to our employees:
- Create a Healthy Role Model program to provide visible examples of what can be accomplished and to encourage the use of the weight management programs.
- Training of corporate office supervisors to ensure the message points are well understood and will be properly conveyed to employees during department meetings.
- Payroll inserts to provide ongoing reminders to help establish the company culture of "health improvement" and "wellness."
- Emails / Newsletters / Intranet. To develop a company wellness culture with consistent message points and to provide education regarding the weight loss plan; how to take advantage of the plan; and announcement of activities and events.
- Posters, fliers, marketing materials, newsletters to develop a wellness culture and to provide multiple, consistent messages with the same primary goal.
- Lunch and Learn sessions with promotions for free sessions or even a free weight management program.

I had the pleasure of touring Holiday House in NYC once again this year right before it closed. The setting was a 1904 Neo-Federal style mansion. Launched by Iris Danker in 2008, this fundraiser only grows more exciting each year with the money raised benefiting the Breast Cancer Research Fund.
Bennett Leifer's salon reminds us that everything new is old. Our past informs our present, and when you bring the two together a powerful punch is packed in his deft designer hands.
With the holiday season upon us and given the fact that I am writing my book Om for the Home, how our home can heal us on a deeper level and lead us to our authentic self, it made me think about how the holidays and our feelings about holiday and family really begin from within.
To be home in our environment and to be home in ourselves is not that different. We want safety, we want inner peace. We want a place to feel good, to make others feel good, to be nourished and happy. Bringing those we love into our sacred spaces is an intimate endeavor. Feeding people is an act of love.
Taking a non traditional approach, Elsa Soyars created a Paris at Christmas dining room perfect for a fete, anywhere you call home. The showstopping porcelain chandelier made by Andreea Braescu created so much rhythm.
|Elsa Soyars, ph: Alan Barry
I understand Elsa had the pleasure of entertaining a small group for lunch in her room. I love that it actaully got used and enjoyed. That's merry and bright!
Jasmine Lam's reception, sitting area is a beautiful, artful spot for gathering and celebrating, an essential element when bringing those together that we care about and helping create community. That is good for the holidays and all year long!
|Jasmine Lam, ph: Marco Ricca
Aly Coulter embraced the gift giving season in the most luxurious way. It felt like you were swept up in a dream from a bygone NYC era sponsored by Tiffany's.
|Aly Coulter, ph: Alan Barry
Hilary Matt Interiors created an undefined space through the use of lines, shapes, dots, squiggles and a dark color scheme. It is meant to be reflective and dare I say seductive.
|Hilary Matt, ph:Seth Caplan
The Cafe Society of Manhattan in the 60's gives us so much richness to be inspired by. Everything was a celebration, nothing that couldn't be made better with a good cocktail in hand, and humans aren't the only ones having fun. These naughty primates with their partying ways are playful on so many levels. I love this wallpaper by Astek in a fun bar lounge by Barbara Lewis for The Lewis Design Group.
|Barbara Lewis, ph:Marco Ricca
Have you noticed that many a showhouse now includes a spa, meditation room or some other wellness destination? It is a sign of the times that carving out a space for stillness is crucial to our overall well being. This sacred space by Touijer Designs reminds us to be still, balanced and to breathe.
|Touijer Designs, ph:Regan Wood
Whatever the holidays conjure up for you, home is the state of our soul. It is a time to put away the politics and the divisiveness. Be mindful, be present, be stressless!
I wish peace for you over the holiday season; to find the stillness at home.

Mirca is a little village on the Brac island. It is situated 5 km from Supetar and it distinguishes with a characteristically rustic atmosphere of a little Mediterranean village. Mirca has been populated since the 16th century and its population occupy themselves with fruit and vine growing. On this part of the island, beautiful sandy beaches with pine shades have been formed, where even the younger members of a family can safely play in the sea. The peace, preserved nature and closeness of Supetar (the main ferry port on the Brac island) make Mirca an interesting destination for a family vacation and for those guests who want to feel the authentic atmosphere of island way of living.
