Lift your skin, Lose Inches & Banish Cellulite Forever! RF is a body contouring technology that uses radio frequency wavelengths to tighten your skin, stimulate collagen and elastin production, remove fat or reduce cellulite. It's the very latest third generation Radio Frequency technology and is the fastest and safest Radio Frequency system on the market, effective for treating all skin types. It offers a non-surgical, non-invasive, painless treatment with no downtime. The radio wavelengths safely penetrate the skin with vibrations; these vibrations target the water molecules in the area being treated, causing them to move and heat up. This heat causes the skin tissue to begin shrinking whilst stimulating the remodelling of collagen cells- the main component that gives skin its structure and fullness. Meanwhile, the heat creates a breakdown of the fat cells while increasing the blood circulation and drainage to the lymphatic system. Essentially, this allows for the fat in cellulite to be broken down and safely removed through the body naturally, all while tightening and smoothing the skin.
The procedure can be used to improve contours anywhere
on the body, It is frequently performed to lift the face, give the abdomen a flatter and
smoother profile, to slim the hips and thighs and firm the upper arm. • Face and neck remodelling • Reduce fine lines and wrinkles • Lift, tone and brighten the face • Lift and tone your bottom • Tighten the skin on the underarms • Tighten sagging skin •
Contour and tighten post-pregnancy tummy • Treat 'crepe' like skin on décolletè, neck, hands, knees etc. • Increasing the skin's circulation and luminosity • Cellulite treatment • Fat Reduction • Fat removal / Body contouring RF treatment for
skin lifting: As your skin matures and is continuously
subjected to environmental effects, the skin's collagen and elastin – which are
proteins that keep your skin tight – break down faster. As your skin loses
elasticity, you may develop wrinkles and fine lines and your skin may appear to
look tired and dull. The Multi-Polar Radiofrequency energy penetrates the skin
layers to selectively heat the skin tissue and the extra cellular matrix where
the collagen fibers are embedded. The local heating stimulates the collagen fibers
and fibroblast cells to produce new collagen and elastic fibers. The results
are tighter, smoother, younger looking skin with a visible 'lift'. The number
of treatments required will be 3 to 9 depending on skin condition. Generally
one session per week on the face and one session per 2 weeks on the body area is
recommended. PIC RF treatment for cellulite reduction: Cellulite affects nearly all adult women of all races. Characterized by a dimpled 'cottage cheese' look, cellulite appears most commonly in the thighs and buttocks. While it does not represent a health threat, cellulite is aesthetically unappealing, and a source of embarrassment to many women. Despite its prevalence, and repeated attempts to find a surefire treatment, no solution has adequately countered cellulite. Until now... Radiofrequency therapy is able to change the shape of fat cells and shrink and remodel the connective tissue that forms this unsightly condition. This technology presents a non-invasive, effective and long-lasting way to reduce the appearance of cellulite. Accent™ RF employs three mechanisms to improve cellulite symptoms: 1. It applies deep dermal heating to the fat bundles to bring about new collagen formation and skin remodelling. 2. Stimulating enhanced blood circulation, the procedure also helps drain trapped fatty deposits and toxins. 3. Finally, its thermal activity serves to shrink fat cells.
During the treatment, your practitioner will precisely heat skin's inner layer (dermis), while its outer layer (epidermis) is continually cooled. Depending on the size of the treated area, treatment may take from 15 to 120 minutes. This heating action causes the deep structures under your skin to tighten right away and results are visible shortly after treatment. Following
treatment, you can immediately resume all routine activities. Over time, the
heating action will stimulate collagen production, giving the skin a fresh,
rejuvenated appearance. Generally, no more than 5 to 7 treatments at two-week
intervals are required. While RF has shown to be safe, effective and
long-lasting maintain treatment.
Incorporating advanced safety precautions that cool your skin to prevent discomfort, Accent's RF is risk- free when performed by a fully trained practitioner. While pain tolerance is individual, most people tolerate Accent™ treatment well, and have little or no discomfort. Patients often describe the sensation as a 'warm massage'. The procedure is not accompanied by any significant side effects. The practitioner will make passes over the skin with a heating implement. Skin tightening is not painful and the practitioner will use your own heat threshold as a barometer for when the skin has been properly heated. Procedures can last 20 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the size of the area being treated.

Time flies when you're aging at a normal human pace. One minute Paris Hilton is dictating your wardrobe, and the next, it's ten years later, and you still don't know what Von Dutch is. Point blank: 2004 was a tragic time for fashion – but at the same time, it ushered in a few 2014 fashion trends that have been going strong for a while.
Here, we're going to explore those trends. Or more specifically, ten trends that defined 2004, and whether or not we should burn our photos or our clothes or our memories, if at all possible.
In the words of Paris herself, "That's hot." (Like, this article.)
1. What: Von Dutch The story: Thanks to the likes of Paris, Nicole Richie, and Ashton Kutcher, trucker hats – specifically of the Von Dutch variety – were ushered into the mid-2000s for reasons no one can really understand. However, we must try. Was it the overt logos? (Let us remember it was around the same time Louis Vuitton bags became a status symbol.) Was it the bright colours? (Maybe? We were teens, and still associated "fun" with "a bright pink trucker hat.") Was it because famous people were doing it? (Absolutely.) So we must learn from our mistakes.
Do they still hold up: No. No they don't. But in 15 years they will when they're old enough to be hot commodities at thrift sores.
2. What: Ruffled Mini-Skirts The story: Part of the uneven, cotton, flow-y skirt movement, the mini versions presented themselves in time for spring – when you could pair...

Mobile licences cancelled in India
PUBLISHED: 03 Feb 2012 00:04:00 | UPDATED: 03 Feb 2012 10:55:41PUBLISHED: 03 Feb 2012 PRINT EDITION: 03 Feb 2012Ketaki Gokhale Mumbai
India's Supreme Court has cancelled 122 mobile-phone permits whose sale in 2008 sparked the nation's biggest corruption investigation and led to the jailing of a former minister.
Shares in Unitech, part of the group that bought some of the licences with Norway's Telenor, tumbled in Mumbai as the court scrapped the permits and ordered operators to pay as much as 50 million rupees ($950,000) in fines, according to the ruling by judges G. S. Singhvi and A. K. Ganguly.
The nation's auditor said in a 2010 report that the sale of the airwaves lacked transparency and ineligible bidders had bought them at "unbelievably low" prices, denying the Treasury of as much as $US31 billion. The corruption allegations have weakened Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's government and stalled the legislative agenda for most of the last 14 months, while sparking street protests and hunger strikes for an anti-graft law.
"At least, finally, some action is being taken on the scam," Deepti Chaturvedi, executive director of equity research at CLSA India said in Mumbai. "I wouldn't jump to the conclusion" that the cancellations would help incumbents, since the released spectrum would probably be auctioned, she said. Shares in Unitech, Reliance Communications and Idea Cellular all dropped in value.
Former telecom minister Andimuthu Raja, who has denied wrongdoing, is in jail in New Delhi facing trial, while former officials in his ministry and an MP are on bail.
The court's verdict was in response to petitions from non-government organisations and individuals, who questioned the validity of the licences.
The Supreme Court cancelled permits held by companies including Idea Cellular, Unitech Wireless, Etisalat DB Telecom, Loop Telecom, Videocon Telecommunications, Sistema Shyam Teleservices and S Tel. The court said the companies could continue with their operations for four months.
Tata Teleservices, Unitech Wireless, and DB Realty have each been ordered to pay 50 million rupees in fines.
The court has asked the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India to recommend to the government the next course of action.
Meanwhile, the government may investigate to see if Lanco Infratech, the nation's second-largest non-state power utility, and Moser Baer India broke rules to win more capacity than allowed in the country's first solar auction.

Gravel road maintenance techniques workshop March 23 in Freedom
Thursday, March 14, 2013
FREEDOM — Most people don't realize that one of the biggest threats to lake water quality comes from erosion of natural soils in developed areas. Road shoulders, driveways, roof drip lines, logging areas and gravel roads often provide a ready source of erodible soil, as these areas are subject to the erosive power of rain and wheels.
This workshop will be based on Russ's gravel road maintenance manual, A Ditch in Time, which will be available for purchase at the workshop. A sample of A Ditch in Time is available on his website www.ruralhometech.com. The workshop is targeted at camp operators, road associations, private land owners who maintain long unpaved driveways, and more generally, to those who contract for dirt road maintenance. |

Common silicate mineral that is distinguished from almost all other minerals by its extreme softness. Its soapy or greasy feel accounts for the name soapstone, given to compact aggregates of talc with other rock-forming minerals. Soapstones have been used since ancient times for carvings, ornaments, and utensils. Resistant to most reagents and to moderate heat, they are especially suitable for sinks and countertops. Talc is also used in lubricants, leather dressings, toilet and dusting powders, and certain marking pencils; as a filler in ceramics, paint, paper, roofing materials, plastic, and rubber; as a carrier in insecticides; and as a mild abrasive in the polishing of cereal grains.
Learn more about talc with a free trial on Britannica.com.
Talc (derived from the Persian via Arabic talq) is a mineral composed of hydrated magnesium silicate with the chemical formula H2Mg3(SiO3)4 or Mg3Si4O10(OH)2. In loose form, it is the widely used substance known as talcum powder. It occurs as foliated to fibrous masses, its monoclinic crystals being so rare as to be almost unknown. It has a perfect basal cleavage, and the folia are non-elastic, although slightly flexible. It is sectile and very soft, with a hardness of 1 (Talc is the softest of the Mohs' scale of mineral hardness, and can be easily scratched by a fingernail). It has a specific gravity of 2.5–2.8, a clear or dusty luster, and is translucent to opaque. Talc is not soluble in water, but it is slightly soluble in dilute mineral acids. Its colour ranges from white to grey or green and it has a distinctly greasy feel. Its streak is white.
Talc is a metamorphic mineral resulting from the metamorphism of magnesian minerals such as pyroxene, amphibole, olivine and other similar minerals in the presence of carbon dioxide and water. This is known as talc carbonation or steatization and produces a suite of rocks known as talc carbonates.
Talc is primarily formed via hydration and carbonation of serpentine, via the following reaction;
Serpentine + Carbon Dioxide → Talc + Magnesite + Water
Talc can also be formed via a reaction between dolomite and silica, which is typical of skarnification of dolomites via silica-flooding in contact metamorphic aureoles;
Dolomite + Silica + Water → Talc + Calcite + Carbon Dioxide
Talc can also be formed from magnesian chlorite and quartz in blueschist and eclogite metamorphism via the following metamorphic reaction:
Chlorite + Quartz → Kyanite + Talc + H2O
In this reaction, the ratio of talc and kyanite is dependent on aluminium content with more aluminous rocks favoring production of kyanite. This is typically associated with high-pressure, low-temperature minerals such as phengite, garnet, glaucophane within the lower blueschist facies. Such rocks are typically white, friable, and fibrous, and are known as whiteschist.
Talc is a tri-octahedral layered mineral; its structure is similar to that of pyrophyllite, but with magnesium in the octahedral sites of the composite layers.
Talc is a common metamorphic mineral in metamorphic belts which contain ultramafic rocks, such as soapstone (a high-talc rock), and within whiteschist and blueschist metamorphic terranes. Prime examples of whiteschists include the Franciscan Metamorphic Belt of the western United States, the western European Alps especially in Italy, certain areas of the Musgrave Block, and some collisional orogens such as the Himalayas.
Talc carbonated ultramafics are typical of many areas of the Archaean cratons, notably the komatiite belts of the Yilgarn Craton in Western Australia. Talc-carbonate ultramafics are also known from the Lachlan Fold Belt, eastern Australia, from Brazil, the Guiana Shield, and from the ophiolite belts of Turkey, Oman and the Middle East.
Notable economic talc occurrences include the Mount Seabrook talc mine, Western Australia, formed upon a polydeformed, layered ultramafic intrusion.
A coarse grayish-green high-talc rock is soapstone or steatite and has been used for stoves, sinks, electrical switchboards, etc. Talc finds use as a cosmetic (talcum powder), as a lubricant, and as a filler in paper manufacture. Talc is used in baby powder, an astringent powder used for preventing rashes on the area covered by a diaper (see diaper rash). Most tailor's chalk is talc, as is the chalk often used for welding or metalworking.
Talc is also used as food additive or in pharmaceutical products. In medicine talc is used as a pleurodesis agent to prevent recurrent pneumothorax. In the European Union the additive number is E553b.
Talc is widely used in the ceramics industry in both bodies and glazes. In low-fire artware bodies it imparts whiteness and increases thermal expansion to resist crazing. In stonewares, small percentages of talc are used to flux the body and therefore improve strength and vitrification. It is a source of MgO flux in high temperature glazes (to control melting temperature). It is also employed as a matting agent in earthenware glazes and can be used to produce magnesia mattes at high temperatures.

All of us Australians will, from time to time, go via intervals when we require more dollars. Regardless of whether it can be to pay for the daughter's wedding ceremony, finance that extension that your spouse has been craving for or to ultimately get that substitution automobile you've got necessary for the past 5 a long time, we occasionally want a small help. But how do we prepare 1 of those personal funds loans without falling for some of the aged methods that stop up producing a bank loan cost a great deal more than you bargained for?
The initial suggestion for arranging individual finance loans is to consider your time. Never rush out and get the initially financial loan you lay your eyes on, since you feel it can be a first rate interest rate and you know your credit score is great, so it will be simple.
There are a great deal of good Australian private finance web-sites out there which specialize in listing the greatest personal money loans on the current market, so use them. Consider time to review what's on supply and which a person could fit you finest. Not only that but they will have particular financial loan calculators that will enable you to feed in the information of the loans you are looking at, so that you can evaluate how diverse APRs have an impact on the repayments, how higher regular repayments will have an impact on the financial loan time period and the somme interest paid and so on.
Private money loans entail far more than just comparing interest charges – if they didn't, they would be effortless. The very first matter you want to bear in brain that service fees and costs might utilize that can fully alter the shape of a loan. These could be in the type of bank loan institution expenses (a person off), monthly account charges, costs for missing payments or early repayment costs whereby you will be strike with a 1-off charge for repaying the bank loan early – this may possibly so large that it offsets the personal savings in fascination payments created by repaying the loan early!
Individual finance loans occur in two diverse main types that you need to have to be aware of: secured and unsecured. A secured financial loan will enable you to benefit from reduce fascination costs but you will have to set up an asset against the mortgage to decrease the lender's chance – which they might be able to claim and offer personal loans not payday loans if the repayments are not created. An unsecured bank loan involves no asset but does suggest greater fascination rates, sadly. The loan provider will normally have to be convinced by some tricky proof that you have the capability to repay an unsecured financial loan.
A word of notice to minimal-income proprietors who are unable to get individual income loans due either to a undesirable credit score score or since they can not pay for a person: they might qualify for a lower or no interest financial loan through NILS (No Interest Loans Scheme). It is developed to aid these on welfare advantages who require inexpensive credit score to acquire overall health equipment, make car or truck repairs or invest in important home household furniture.

There is no need to limit your self to the use of khakis, slacks and denims. Mens cotton drawstring pants are worn by those who want to sport a look that is more relaxed and on the casual side. Putting on a pair doesn't necessarily mean you are turning your back on style. Especially when used with the appropriate tops and accessories, you can look so trendy.
If you are bound for the office or a business meeting, skip wearing it. But putting it on may be done on practically any other day or occasion. Such type of trousers is suitable to be worn if you want to spend time at home, away from the grind. Feeling comfortable from the waist below is the way to go when enjoying a great movie or listening to your favorite tunes.
You may also put on a pair if you wish to head out. A lot of stylish males can be seen wearing drawstrings while with their friends or hitting tourist spots. Because this piece of clothing is designed intentionally to have a laid-back appeal, it's of utmost importance that you pick an appropriate top to go with it. This saves you from ending up having a sloppy look.
Fortunately, the types of tees which may be worn with it come aplenty. You will surely stop traffic when you match it with a top having palm tree or floral prints. This is the perfect getup when doing all sorts of fun outdoor activities during summer. You may also go to a beach wedding wearing a pair for as long as a stylish shirt that suits the occasion is worn with it.
Going for a plain button down tee that has a great fit makes this garment suited for casual lunch or dinner dates. Wear a tank top or sweatshirt with them and you are ready to pay the gym a visit and get in shape. These types of trousers come in so many masculine colors as well as lengths, ensuring that your personality and sense of style can shine through.
Drawstrings are sought after by many who like to sport a relaxed look. But other than the appeal, these items of clothing are also very comfortable to wear, most especially those out of cotton. The fabric is breathable, allowing you to feel cool from the waist below. It's also very absorbent, a feature that comes in handy when you get sweaty on those summer days.
This fabric out of natural fibers is known to be hypoallergenic, recommendable for individuals who often suffer from skin allergies, as well as those with sensitive skin prone to irritation. Although very soft to the touch, it's the only type of fabric that gets stronger when wet - up to about 30% more. Due to this, a pair will surely be of service for a long time.
Aside from the lengths and colors, there are also a variety of styles that mens cotton drawstring pants come in. Some of them have no pockets, while others have one on both sides. You may go for those with buttoned or flapped back pockets to safeguard your wallet. Some have elastic waist bands, and you may also find fly parts with buttons or zippers in them.
If you want to find out more about mens cotton drawstring pants, you can get all the details from the reputable online source. Review the information that is included in this website at http://www.pantsalone.com right away.

Madrid see + do
Madrid's long-standing conservative image has finally slipped, and there's no going back now. Despite the ultimate failure of Madrid's 2012 Olympic bid, the attempt put a spring in the city's step. Major new wings in each of the big-three art museums—the Prado, the Reina Sofía, and the Thyssen-Bornemisza—did the most to install a permanent new sense of pride. There have been other successful architectural events, including the outrageous Hotel Puerta América, created by 20 world-famous designers, and the new airport terminal designed by Sir Richard Rogers. The Barcelona-Madrid axis is to be officially inaugurated by the end of 2007, when one of the world's fastest railways (220 mph) is due to link the two cities. Barcelona-ish energy has been spreading through the restaurant and art scenes of Madrid for years now. But don't overlook Madrid as a city just for walking, from the grand, leafy avenues that still evoke the city's good old stodgy elitism to the gentrifying neighborhoods like Chueca, where real estate seems to change hands and double in value by the week.

We understand what you are going through, and are here to help. Our treatment method is different from traditional nitpicking. We will kill the lice and eggs using hot air, followed by a vigorous comb out which takes up to 2 hours depending on hair condition and level of infestation. This method is highly effective, clinically proven to be overall 94 % effective. And the best part is that you will not have to apply oil to the affected person every night, comb it out in the morning and wash with dish detergent! Our treatment consists of a one-time half-hour treatment using the FDA-Cleared AirAllé™ device, followed by a professional comb-out (not applied for the basic package). The average time for a complete treatment takes less than one hour per customer, but can last longer depending on the severity of the infestation.We will comb-out until we are satisfied that no lice remain and do not charge by the hour. We stand behind what we do with our Premium & Platinum package satisfaction guarantee: If there are live lice that remain after our service call, we provide a re-treatment at no additional charge if all the people within the household have been checked or treated.

Most Americans who are over 65 have opted for Medicare A & B and probably C, can also have a Medicare Supplement plan. Lots of is that none for these plans give adequate coverage when traveling outside united states. In fact, no Medicare plan supply medical coverage outside the united states or medical evacuation coverage.
medicare supplement plans 2015 are usually standardized since 1992 and are categorized by letter designations which indicate the benefits the plans provide. Plan F covers all the gaps in Medicare making sure that in merchandise majority of situations people who own this plan will not have to pay out-of-pocket for medically necessary medical college tuition.
A medigap newsletter gave credence towards the value of exercise in older adults, especially activity. After only 3-4 weeks of exercise I am amazed how I've much better. I realize I have to practice right, there isn't any have some distance to proceed.
It's surprising how many clients play the role of all in order to all females. They don't want to take possibility of missing anyone. However, by insurance providers scattershot approach, you'll get missing smooth stomach customers. For example, if you want to sell the greatest new Xbox, your main audience always be 16 to 21 year-old males. Targeting their grandparents as primarily because you think they may buy a birthday present isn't a wise use of your marketing dollars.
Although all lines of insurance agents can launch a telemarketing campaign, this information is going to concentrate on the sale of individual health and life remedies. There is a different script and solution to telemarketing consumers for senior products such as medicare supplements and P&C.
Take off your seat a "Guide to Medicare Benefits Pamphlet" and a thick stack of senior citizen address cards, with your prospects name card along with. Approaching the door knock loudly. As soon as the door is opened appear at your card, asking if "John" is available. Before either can respond, officially state that you are there to explain their Medicare Benefits that you just their insurance fits all through. Never at this stage pull out your business trading card! Ask if it is right time to sit at the table so specialists . cover their benefits package quicker.
Warning: Do not neglect the above steps! Did you know that there are 10 different Medigap plans without having all of them will cover your medical scooter 100%! And, along with of that, if Medicare does not cover the medical scooter, neither will Medigap!

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does EPA label products?
EPA's mission is to protect the health of people and the environment. To further that mission, EPA labels products so that consumers can easily choose ones that are safer for people and the environment. The program empowers consumers to protect their health and minimize impact on the environment through everyday purchasing decisions. Using EPA's chemical and toxicological expertise, the Design for the Environment program applies stringent criteria for health and environmental safety in labeling products with the safest possible chemical ingredients.What does the Design for Environment label mean?
When consumers see the Design for the Environment (DfE) label on a product, they can be confident that the ingredients have been through a rigorous EPA review. The label means that EPA scientists have evaluated every ingredient in the product to ensure it meets DfE's stringent criteria. When people use Design for the Environment-labeled products they are protecting their families and the environment by making safer chemical choices.Do Design for the Environment-labeled products work well?
Yes, in addition to meeting stringent safety criteria, every product with the Design for the Environment label has met high standards for performance.Where can I find Design for the Environment-labeled products?
For a complete list of Design for the Environment-labeled products visit our product webpage . As of December 2011, more than 2,500 products carry the label and new products are always being added. The list of labeled products can also be found on DfE's mobile website. You can find Design for the Environment-labeled products at most stores that carry cleaning and household supplies, including major nationwide retailers and thousands of smaller and independent stores. Look for the DfE label on products!How do companies earn the Design for the Environment label for their products?
Companies must apply for the label by submitting their products to Design for the Environment (DfE) for review. We carefully evaluate every ingredient against a stringent set of health and environmental criteria. These criteria address potential health and environmental concerns, including, for example, if an ingredient is associated with causing cancer or reproductive harm, and if it accumulates in human tissue or in the environment. A product is only allowed to carry the DfE label if each ingredient is among the safest in its ingredient class. Additionally, the product as a whole has to meet safety criteria and qualify as high-performing and be packaged in an environmentally friendly manner. Some consumers want to know which chemicals are in the products they use so, as a condition of labeling, all ingredients must be disclosed either on the product or the manufacturer's website.The Design for the Environment safer product labeling process is explained on our website, where you can find our Standard for Safer Products and Safer Ingredient Criteria. We work closely with companies that want to make safer products, and the DfE label offers the incentive for many manufacturers to invest in improving their formulations. Companies seeking information on how to apply for the DfE label should contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
There are many 'eco-labels' in the marketplace -- how is Design for the Environment's labeling program different?
Design for the Environment's labeling program is different from other eco-labels in several important ways:First, we are focused on chemistry and identifying safer chemicals. Our approach to product review is grounded in the EPA's more than 40 years of experience in evaluating the human health and environmental characteristics of chemicals. This expertise enables us to go beyond established lists of 'bad actor' chemicals and to use expert judgment to determine the likely health and environmental hazards of chemicals that haven't been widely studied.
Second, we look at a full set of health and environmental endpoints based on a range of data, experimental and modeled, and expert judgment.
Finally, we work closely with companies to help them understand the chemistry of their products and to select safer alternatives to chemicals that pose potential health or environmental concerns.
Are products labeled "natural" safer than other products?
It is impossible to say without knowing the product ingredients and understanding their potential effects. Cleaning products marketed as "natural" typically use chemicals made from corn or other biological sources, rather than petroleum. While these cleaning products may be made out of renewable resources, their "natural" ingredients are still chemically identical to those made from petroleum, so their potential health and environmental impacts during and after use would be the same.Are homemade cleaning products "green," and are they effective?
Household chemicals used for cleaning purposes include lemon juice, vinegar, baking soda, borax, ammonia, and bleach. Some of those chemicals can be useful and generally are benign; others are potentially hazardous. Borax, for example, which is used to enhance the cleaning power of a detergent, is associated with reproductive, developmental, and neurological hazards. These chemicals can also be toxic if used in the wrong ways. For example, combining bleach and ammonia generates a toxic chloramine gas. Typically, homemade cleaners do not perform as well as commercially available products, which are specially formulated chemical blends designed for high performance.How does using Design for the Environment products help the environment?
Empowering consumers to quickly identify and choose safer products benefits the environment and human health. Products that carry the Design for the Environment (DfE) label are safer for fish and other aquatic life, do not pollute air or waterways, and do not add harmful chemicals to the land.Two types of chemical ingredients that can affect the environment are surfactants and "builders." Surfactants, chemicals that help remove dirt, are key ingredients in all detergents, but they can be toxic to aquatic life. Surfactants that break down quickly are safer, since they are effectively neutralized in sewers and wastewater plants. Through our Safer Detergents Stewardship Initiative, we help companies voluntarily move to safer surfactants.
"Builders" change the qualities of water so detergents can work better. One builder, inorganic phosphate, is an essential nutrient for plants, but in high concentrations can be harmful to the environment, leading to problems like algae blooms and loss of oxygen in waterways. Many states and localities have banned or restricted inorganic phosphates in laundry detergents. DfE-labeled products are free of inorganic phosphate builders.
Also, all products that carry the DfE label must meet other environment-conscious criteria, such as sustainable packaging requirements and restrictions on levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds).
Are cleaning product manufacturers required by law to list all their ingredients?
No. Unlike food products, manufacturers of chemical products are not required to list ingredients on their containers or make them public. At Design for the Environment, we believe transparency is the key to helping consumers make informed choices. As of April 2011, we have required that all ingredients, including fragrances, be listed for all products that carry the Design for the Environment label. Ingredients must be listed either on the product or on an easy-access website. As manufacturers come into compliance with the listing requirement, consumers will be able to understand more about the Design for the Environment-labeled products they use and their health and environmental safety benefits.When will manufacturers of currently labeled products become subject to the new provisions in the DfE Standard on ingredient communication and packaging?
Ingredient communication and packaging provisions were finalized and added to the Design for the Environment Standard for Safer Products in April 2011. They became effective as of that date and applicable to all applicants for the label. For manufacturers of currently labeled products, the provisions are being phased-in over the next year and all partnership agreements will be modified to include the new provisions. Companies will be subject to an audit to ensure compliance with the new provisions in the year following the partnership amendment.How is the Design for the Environment label good for businesses and the economy?
In implementing its safer product labeling program, Design for the Environment not only evaluates products and their ingredients to ensure compliance with its Standard for Safer Products, but also offers advice on safer alternatives for ingredients that do not meet its safety criteria. This consultation service, unique among eco-labels, helps formulating companies learn about safer chemistry and earn the Design for the Environment label, thereby distinguishing their products in the marketplace. It also encourages research institutions to invest in exploring and developing safer chemical alternatives.Consumers are focusing more and more on sustainability and are looking for advice on how to buy safer products for their families. The Design for the Environment label, backed by the scientific expertise and experience of EPA, provides the assurance many consumers seek.
Companies that have invested in safer chemistry and earned the label have entered an expanding marketplace for sustainable products. These companies can look forward to growing their businesses and adding green jobs to the economy. Participants in the green marketplace include major retailers, such as Wal-Mart, Safeway, Home Depot, and Target, which have given special status to Design for the Environment-labeled products, and government purchasers who are increasingly specifying the Design for the Environment label in their purchasing requirements.
How does EPA verify compliance with the Design for the Environment Standard and qualify a product to carry the label?
Step 1: Full ingredient disclosure -- To earn permission to place the Design for the Environment label on products, a manufacturer must disclose all product ingredients, without exception. This disclosure requirement includes ingredients supplied by third parties that are proprietary and not disclosed to the manufacturer; the third parties send the information directly to Design for the Environment. The partnership agreement contains a non-confidential statement of formula that references the confidential formula kept in our files. Only products that pass review can bear the DfE logo. If the manufacturer wishes to change the formula and retain the label, the new ingredient(s) must first go through Design for the Environment review; if in compliance with the criteria, we modify the partnership agreement and update our records.Step 2: Partner Audits -- Design for the Environment conducts regular partner audits to ensure that the ingredients in labeled products are identical to those disclosed during partnership development (and modification, if any) and are in compliance with the latest version of the Standard for Safer Products and Safer Ingredient Criteria. During the three-year partnership period, Design for the Environment will conduct an on-site audit, a desk audit, and a renewal audit on or about the anniversary date of the partnership. The audits will also oversee and seek to ensure good manufacturing practices and proper use of and communications about the Design for the Environment label.

Fission yeast protein Sre1, the homolog of the mammalian sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP), is a hypoxic transcription factor required for sterol homeostasis and low-oxygen growth. Nro1 regulates the stability of the N-terminal transcription factor domain of Sre1 (Sre1N) by inhibiting the action of the prolyl 4-hydroxylase-like Ofd1 in an oxygen-dependent manner. The crystal structure of Nro1 determined at 2.2 Å resolution shows an all-α-helical fold that can be divided into two domains: a small N-terminal domain, and a larger C-terminal HEAT-repeat domain. Follow-up studies showed that Nro1 defines a new class of nuclear import adaptor that functions both in Ofd1 nuclear localization and in the oxygen-dependent inhibition of Ofd1 to control the hypoxic response.

Class 17 of 30 Recap: Glassblowing Sampler Class
Back into the daily rhythm of the 30 Classes in 30 Days Challenge as I doubled up again yesterday with a glassblowing sampler at Diablo Glass School followed by How to Design Characters for Games (recap coming tomorrow).
I am temporarily skipping the recap for class 16: 3D Sculpting since it is a 3 session class happening over the next few weeks, but the experience thus far has been great.
Glassblowing Sampler Class
This actually was not a glassblowing class per se. It would be better explained as playing with melted glass while getting an intro to glass artistry, hosted by Diablo Glass School.
In other words, there are some really hot furnaces (2200+ degrees Fahrenheit), some tools of glass torture, and multiple ways to manipulate the glass for different desired outcomes, like air bubbles, colors and shapes. Oh yeah, and a bunch of ways to burn yourself really really badly, which the instructors take great care in educating you about so you don't do it.
I seem to have a knack for picking classes where I have to sign injury waivers going in (CNC plasma cutter, trapeze, and this).
Learning to blow glass would take much more time and practice than the two hours we had would allow. Our wildly entertaining instructor, Sean, and his helpers did give us a glassblowing demo toward the end of the class though, and then promptly destructed the piece shortly thereafter.
Destroying the finished pieces seems like a fun side hoppy of the staff….
Making a Paperweight
Why a paperweight? Because it is something you can't really screw up, and it gives you a feel for what it is like to manipulate the molten glass. Seriously, you can't screw it up.
I started with a long metal rod dipped into the furnace of molten class, taking care not to get too close to the furnace so as to burn myself. At the beginning, it really feels like you are dealing with warm honey that gets more and more viscous as it cools (like taffy and then hard candy), so I had to be sure to turn the rod continuously to keep it from oozing off.
Here is a quick list of the next steps to create the paperweight:
- Make a couple passes at the furnace to get a workable mass of molten glass on your rod
- Dip the rod into some colored glass shards to add some colors
- Reheat the new glass and shards in the "glory hole"
- Sit at the workbench and begin manipulating the glass with snips and tweezers – this is what will become the inside design of the paperweight
- Reheat the glass repeatedly as it cools and becomes difficult to work with
- Once happy with the shape, add a significant amount of new molten glass and start shaping it with a rounded mold to create the rounded shape of the paperweight
- Use the "jacks" to start creating a fracture point that will sever the paperweight from the rod
- Fracture the paperweight off the end by simply tapping the rod to create vibrations
- Heat the bottom with a blowtorch and press on it to create a flat surface
- Place in a cool down stove to keep it from imploding due to temperature differences on the external surface versus the internal temperature (they demonstrated this for us)
All in all, a pretty simple process.
Diablo is No Joke
Diablo means "devil" in Spanish, and this is appropriate considering how hot is was in the studio. Granted it was 90+ degrees in Boston yesterday, but the glass furnaces make it even hotter. They ask you to bring your own water for a reason. By the end of class, I was once again drenched in sweat.
I would definitely like to go back again (once the weather cools down) to try my hand at some other glass shaping activities. After the demo, actual glassblowing was not all that appealing to me, but there were so many other pieces of art in the school that were more about manipulating the glass in different ways, and that is what I would like to experience.

Ajnad Misr claims 7th Cairo area attack, 6 wounded
In a statement released today and promoted on jihadist forums, Ajnad Misr (Soldiers of Egypt) claimed responsibility for a small-scale bombing attack in the Cairo area. At least six Egyptian policemen were wounded in the attack, AFP reported.
"Initial investigations show that two improvised bombs were thrown at the same time at a Central Security Forces] truck, damaging its door and breaking the window of another private car passing by," according to Al Ahram. A group called "Walla3" also said it was responsible for the attack, Mada Masr reported.
Ajnad Misr, which formally announced itself on Jan. 23, has said it is engaged in a campaign to target "criminal" elements of Egypt's current regime. Today's attack is the seventh attack in the Cairo area claimed by Ajnad Misr.
In today's statement, which was translated by the SITE Intelligence Group, the group said that attack showed that the "the forces of the criminal organizations ... are not safe from the punishment that pursues them."
"Our raids upon them will continue as long as their criminal behavior continues," the new group continued. The group, like Ansar Jerusalem (Ansar Bayt al Maqdis), called on those serving in the security services to defect. "They should direct [their] weapons towards the criminal organizations," Ajnad Misr urged. "Events are accelerating and the opportunity [to defect] may not last long," the group concluded.
Ajnad Misr has previously stated that it is prepared to receive "information about the movements of the officers and personnel of the criminal services, and their addresses." In its third statement, the jihadist group asked that "the addresses [be] detailed as much as possible and contain a photo of the wanted criminal to receive equitable punishment."

Information and Assets Valuation: CISSP Certification Training
Information and assets valuation is a major concept of CISSP certification and anyone looking forward towards attaining a Certified Information Systems Security Professional needs to understand this concept with in depth knowledge. Let's discuss the same in this post.
The value placed on information is relative to the parties involved, what work was required to develop it, how much it costs to maintain, what damage would result if it were lost or destroyed, what enemies would pay for it, and what liability penalties could be endured. If a company does not know the value of the information and the other assets it is trying to protect, it does not know how much money and time it should spend on protecting them. While assigning values to assets, one needs to consider certain issues which are stated as below.
- Cost to acquire or develop the asset
- Cost to maintain and protect the asset
- Value of the asset to owners and users
- Value of the asset to adversaries
- Value of intellectual property that went into developing the information
- Price that others are willing to pay for the asset
- Cost to replace the asset if lost or damaged
- Operational and production activities that are affected if the asset is unavailable
- Liability issues if the asset is compromised
- Usefulness and role of the asset in the organization
Understanding the value of an asset is the first step to understanding what security mechanisms should be utilized and what funds should go toward protecting it.
Assets may be tangible like computers, facilities, supplies or it can be intangible like reputation, data, and intellectual property. It is usually harder to quantify the values of intangible assets, which may change over time. The value of an asset should reflect all identifiable costs that would arise if there were an actual impairment of the asset.
These were the basics on information and assets valuation. To know more about information and assets valuation, you can explore our training courses on Certified Information Systems Security Professional exam. Simplilearn offers extensive CISSP certification training from expert tutors.

The other thing is pretty much ally friends have iPhones as well as my mum who lives in Alaska and I like to keep in contact with iMessage but sammy don't like that either.

Re: I'm back:)
Had an iPhone 5, went to the Galaxy s3 for a month an a half. Battery life was terrible and dropped calls, never though I would missed visual voicemail but I did. Also the app selection was horrid compared to iOS and none of my Mac apps played nice with it. Music is a whole different story seeing as how you can have only 16gb of internal storage for Google Music.

Re: I'm back:)
You are not describing the SGS3 on any Carrier. Music on Android is the best. If you don't want to listen on line you can install up to a 64gb sd card, if that isn't enough you have serious issues. The SGS3 is one bad *** phone, I own one with 32gb of internal memory and a 64gb sd card. You can't beat that with a stick. Android is killing it these days, doesn't mean you can't enjoy the iphone 5, I'm buying one from T-Mobile on April 12th, getting the 64gb version in white. Will be my 1st iphone. Very excited to try it out.
I'll be back to these forums allot for advice.

Really? Granted I haven't had the S3 but I've had other Android devices phone and tablet... and the space and added capacity is AWESOME for music but I thought the way Android handled music was mediocre, even on the Nexus 7 tablet. Does Samsung have a new music interface?

Re: I'm back:)
Same with me, rocked Galaxy Nexus from August last year until January. I sort of had a freak out on my Galaxy Nexus while at the mall one day because of some battery drain issues that had been plaguing me for 2 weeks since getting updated to 4.2.1 Jellybean. I won't say I ran but it was a fast paced walk to the Apple Store and walking out with an iPhone 5 was like a giant weight being lifted off my chest.
I gave the Nexus 4 a shot after getting my iPhone 5 too. But it just didn't do it for me either and I sold it to a buddy last weekend. - 04-03-2013, 02:44 PM #19

Same here. Glad I'm back. Feels like home. I had an uneasy feeling with the note 2. Then the battery started acting up on me. I would get 12 hrs from morning hours until I got home from work and then all of a sudden my battery started dying by 1pm and the phone started to get hot. Then I made my decision to come back to iPhone. It feels good to be back 😁

When I used to work in the web design industry I used to build a lot of websites for people who were trying to sell products over the internet. In many of these cases the customer would provide their own products photographs and in a large proportion of these cases the photography that they asked us to use really was subpar.
At the end of the day, a customer browsing the internet really only had the product shots to go off. Obviously, they can't hold the product in their hands and look at and feel the quality and suitability, so the photos really are key. If photos are poor, people are not going to have a good impression of your product and it's going to cost you sales. Look at the top fashion sites and you'll see what I mean – they're shots are probably among the best photographs in the world for ANYTHING, let alone e-commerce.
What Goes Wrong?
Photos are bad for many reasons. And here's a few of the main ones.
Low Resolution
Any image needs to have enough pixels to look crisp and sharp on screen at the size that it needs to be displayed. if the image was taken on a low res camera, or is a cropped section of a larger image, it may not look sharp on screen.
Bad Colour Balance
When you take photos indoors the camera has to guess what kind of lighting is in the room and adjust the colour settings of the shot accordingly, as different kinds of lights can affect the colour balance in different ways. If the colour balance was not set accordingly, or it has guessed wrong, the colours in the shot can display a strong cast, such as yellow, red or green.
Cluttered Background
Top product shots are usually taken on a white background, or as part of a properly designed photographic 'set'. If your shots use neither of these they are more than likely not going to look professional. The shot really needs to isolate the product, or display it in an appropriate setting.
Bad Arrangement/Composition
A photo should display a product at an angle that shows all of the main features. If you're shooting shoes you wouldn't just take a picture of only the soles. A photo should capture as much as possible too – you don't want half of the product to be off the edge of the shot. Conversely, you don't want too much background in the photo either.
Poor Product Example
If you're taking a picture of a shirt it should be freshly laundered and ironed. If you're taking food pictures the food should look appealing. If the items that you're shooting don't look at their best, you're really going to struggle to make them look good.
What Can You Do To Improve?
There are a few simple things that you can do to ensure that your product shots look as good as possible. They needn't cost the earth and they're not hard to get your head around even if you don't especially understand photography.
Decent Camera
You are going to need a good camera – I would suggest a DSLR. They're not as hard to use as you might think – actually just as simple as a point and shoot – and they can be had for less than $100 used.
White Background
Shooting products on a white background will make them look a lot more professional. A curved piece of white card or paper is all that you need. You can bend it so that it is horizontal at the point that the product sits on it, and vertical as it steadily curves upwards to become a backdrop. There will be no corners or edges in your shot.
Good Lighting
Flash is the best way to light a shot, but it can be hard to understand and adjust for. The easy way is to use regular household bulbs on simple lamp stands positioned just out of shot. They provide continuous light so it's easy to see what you'll get when you press the shutter button. Make sure the product is lit evenly from all sides to prevent shadows and shoot away. A few adjustments are all that usually needed, and once you find a good White balance setting in your camera you'll never have to touch it again if you don't want to.

Notre Dame's dream season ended in disaster in Miami as Alabama showed the Irish what championship football looks like. The Irish were thoroughly dominated from start to finish in every facet of the game by bigger, stronger, and faster athletes. Despite being humbled by the Crimson Tide, Notre Dame had an impressive season, and the following players were the most impressive in a game in which it was very difficult to find bright spots:
DaVaris Daniels
Notre Dame's young receiver showed no signs of being hindered by the broken clavicle he was returning from versus the Crimson Tide. Daniels was one of the few players wearing an Irish uniform who looked like he belonged against an SEC defense as he set a career high in receiving yards with 115 on six receptions. Daniels is a physically imposing receiver and will see his role in the Irish offense increase dramatically next season.
T.J. Jones
The Irish's number one receiver led the team in receptions versus the Crimson Tide with seven for a total of 90 yards. Jones and the other Irish receivers were the victims of a baffling game plan in which they targeted Alabama's all-American corner Dee Milliner. Jones and the other receivers likely would have had more success attacking the middle of the field than they did on low percentage routes such as jump balls and deep routes down the sidelines.
Tyler Eifert
In his final game as a member of the Notre Dame football team the most prolific tight-end in Irish history had yet another strong performance. Eifert totalled six catches for 61 yards while being constantly double-teamed by Alabama defenders. Eifert had success breaking tackles and fighting for yards after contact against the great Alabama defense. The Irish will be in desperate need to replace his production next season.
Ben Turk
As sad as this choice seems it is the only one to be made. While other players on the Notre Dame roster had decent games they did more bad than good for the team. No player on the Irish defense is deserving of a player of the game award and no player on the Irish offense other than those mentioned above made more good plays than they did bad plays. However, Ben Turk played one of his best games of the season, averaging 42.8 yards per punt with a long of 50 and one inside the 20. Turk did his part to make the Alabama offense have to drive the length of the field to score touchdowns, unfortunately that didn't matter due to the dominance of Alabama's offense.

What about #47 on special teams? He made sure tackles every time he was on both, kickoff and punt coverage!
Chi-town Copper commented on January 10th, 2013 at 9:09 am
I like Eifert here as your pick. In my opinion he DID make that catch on the first drive which was ruled out of bounds. We were soundly out played however, that was definetely a momentum killer. Couple that with the fair catch call and we were outta the game pretty fast. If we got the ball at the Alabama 5 or whatever it was in that instance and punch it in, maybe its a closer game but as everyone has stated here before, we got rolled. Im just saying we kind got screwed from the start…and Musberger was loving it
Damian commented on January 10th, 2013 at 9:46 am
Every time we lose a tight end I worry, but it seems ND always churns out top quality tight ends. I have a feeling this trend will continue.
Shazamrock commented on January 10th, 2013 at 11:02 am
If you had told me back in August that Everett Golson would help lead us to a 12-0 regular season, then go 21 for 36 for 270 passing yards with one TD passing and another TD rushing with only one turnover in the National Championship game, I would have been estatic.
Figure in that he had no running game, and thus, no play-action passing game, makes his preformance all the more impressive.
He really should be at the top of this list![Reply]
Sorrell commented on January 10th, 2013 at 1:17 pm
What about Zeke? Played a fantastic game.
Jimbo replied on January 14th, 2013 at 5:54 pm
Motta, along with Manti, played a horrible game. Just awful. Don't be fooled by the high number of tackles he had.
Frank Vitovitch commented on January 10th, 2013 at 11:31 pm
I would throw Golson and Big Louis Nix in the mix here too. NIx was the only one on defense who came to play and looked like he could switch uniforms and still start. Golson will be a star next year too and took a step forward last night.

June 8 marked the third anniversary of the killing of Ernest Duenez Jr. by John Moody on behalf of the Manteca Police Department. Members of the community as well as families who have been victimized by the police across the state joined the Duenez family in remembering the cold-blooded killing of a young man in his own driveway by officer John Moody.
A video has been released showing the murder and has gone viral. Watch it here (warning: very graphic!)
From that very driveway began a mile-long march to the Manteca police station. Chants including "Justice for Ernest, Jail for Moody" and "How do you spell racist, M-P-D" filled the air as the people of California expressed their ongoing outrage against the devaluing of Black and Brown lives throughout the state. The continued lack of police accountability and the absence of any impartial investigation into the killings of Ernest Duenez Jr., James Rivera, Andy Lopez, Oscar Grant, Alan Blueford, and countless others speak to the deliberate state policy of terror against people of color. This exercise of police terror is a necessary part of the capitalist system that places the protection of wealth and private property over the preservation of health and personal safety of its citizens. It is for this reason that we call for a new system based on the needs of the people and not the profits of a few.
