By NuNaturals
270 Reviews-
Expiration Date:?Feb 2020
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.5 lbs (0.23 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

iHerb Customer Reviews
After contacting the manufacturer of this "USED TO BE MOST WONDERFUL" product, I was very disappointed to hear that the formula has been changed. Below, is the response I rec'd. I will add that the company was very quick to respond to my inquiry, and were very up front about the situation, which I very much appreciated. Our stevia extract changed in May 2013. We simply had no choice but to change our extract. The extract that we had been using is no longer available. The matter was out of our hands.
I use it in my coffee and hot chocolate. Very sweet, few drops are what it takes. I love the fact it is alcohol free. I usually get the bigger bottle and it lasts me for months.

I am an italian man. I am an engineer in Italy and I deal me of planning and structural calculation and of housebuilding. My site internet is: http://www.calcolostrutture.net . I like very much the soccer. Soccer in Italy is very hard and the quality of soccer is high. According to me in Italy there are currently some teams that have greater probabilities to win the championship. The teams are Rome, Juventus, Milan, International, Lazio and Naples. I am fan of the Juventus and I hope that at the end of the season the juventus wins the championship. The Juventus in this championship doesn't have to dispute the European cups, for which I hope both favorite for the conquest of the Italian badge. In the last years the level of the Italian soccer to European and world level has been some reorganized and it has decreased its quality, because there are now very strong European teams as the Barcellona, the Manchester United and the Real Madrid. I hope that in the future the Italian soccer returns to be protagonist to European and world level, even with the Juventus as protagonist!

Behold, an "Ocean Toad"
de woodrowman
24 Noiembrie 2010
1 more definition
An ocean toad is defined as an individual, normally working in middle management, who sits around daily in a sea of waste and despair he or she calls their job. The ocean toad is known to regurgitate email messages already sent from other higher level sources even though he or she is aware that all of their subordinates had received the message. The ocean toad comes in many shapes and sizes, and is often recognized by it's rigid brow line and sloped uphill walk which is indicative of its desire to crawl out of the lonesome role of middle management to annoy others higher up the chain of command. Ocean toads hop from job to job making the lives of those they manage miserable.
Russ, the boss, is such an ocean toad. Did you see him resend that email about TPS-888 form? He's hopping up the ladder to the next level soon.

As an marketing significant, hearing about outsourcing is a typical portion of school. Outsourcing is described as, getting items or a services from an outdoors or unusual united states gold bureau (Investopedia). There really are many features as perfectly as lots of disadvantages of outsourcing to a unusual seller. It could get as a lot as owning an in-house accountant or submitting financial details to a unique accounting professional. From an marketing stand issue, we must dilemma whether the features of outsourcing outweigh the negatives.
The advantages of outsourcing to a foreign supplier can be summarized as financial savings, time savings, expert services, and contractual obligation (Gramigna). In terminology of economic conserving, a business would have no require to seek the services of a full-time staff thus slicing the quantity of funds they would end up being shelling out on payroll. The business would likewise be protecting dollars on unique fees that can come with getting a full-time staff member like as features, insurance, property taxes, paid for time-off and and so on (Gramigna). Reducing the want for another full-time personnel also makes it possible for you to downsize your company in terms or work space, furniture, computer, etc. Along with the financial savings the firm would in addition be keeping a whole lot of period. As we presently reviewed they would always be keeping the sum of period employees will be doing work. Outsourcing would minimize backside on weekly hours that would be spent on bookkeeping. The time expended on bookkeeping generally takes apart from pursuits and enterprise directly relevant to the company's vision and demands (Gramigna). This makes it possible for a firm to target their solutions and the genuine demands of the firm. Outsourcing also allows for expertise service. When hiring outside of the company, it will be generally that a third-party assistance provider is definitely being chosen. The third-party assistance provider is experienced exclusively in the operate they carry out. From the organizations standpoint the want to retain the services of an individual and train them to get the job done right is no much longer a fret. This will allow for pristine record-keeping, which packages a corporation forward of their competition. One last benefit of outsourcing is a contractual responsibility between a organization and the resource. Often occasions working with in-house staff gets to be a touch of problem about negotiations, control, and people methods (Gramigna). When outsourcing a written agreement or understanding is collection up to satisfy the wants of both the corporation and united states gold bureau, allowing both parties to understand their responsibilities to one another.
While presently there are many benefits of outsourcing presently there are a couple of negatives such as long distance and moment, words barriers, decline of command, and safety measures risks. Long distance and moment currently being a problem is definitely not to possibly be perplexed with the advantages previously spoken about, time savings. Range gets an problem because you accomplish not in physical form have anyone in the business to reply any issues that may occur up, departing you with possessing to communicate digitally which can come to be a trouble if it is a period sensitive make a difference. Another concern regarding period is period areas. If you usually are outsourcing to a international region you must end up being mindful and bank account for the disparities in moment that the dealer may end up being providing, once again turning into an concern for a period sensitive make a difference. Terminology barriers come to be an concern when seeking to describe and plainly convey the desires of the provider. Usually time's items are not necessarily immediately translatable between diverse dialects which could generate a trouble of miscommunication. The reduction of manage will come to enjoy in phrases of teaching and methods from day-to-day (Gramigna). This results in being an situation if your provider wants stuff to get executed a precise way regarding to their possess personal requires. The ultimate and many crucial drawback of outsourcing is the safety risk. When outsourcing, you are giving up the right to inside knowledge and allowing others to now know the operations and financial information of your company.
After looking at the advantages and drawbacks associated with outsourcing to united states gold bureau, it seems that the answer lies within the company. A company must look at what their mission and needs are and think about them against the rewards and drawbacks. If a company understands the advantages and takes into consideration the drawbacks, they could create an action plan to handle such drawbacks. This would allow the company to fully take advantage of outsourcing. However, if a company does not consider the drawbacks they could find themselves striving to always keep up with the demands of the firm.

Break Out the Grill: 20 Grilling Recipes
Tweet |
Aren't you ready to fire up the grill? Last Summer we received some serious wind gusts that managed to pick up my grill and crash it to the ground in 1.5 million pieces. So, I'm grill-less. Unless, of course, you count Mr. George Forman. I'll be grill shopping soon but in the meantime, since it's been on my mind, I ran across 20 Grilling Recipes from Lynn's Kitchen Adventures.
The recipes are awesome and it looks like I'm going to need that grill sooner than I thought!

Forgotten Gods
Availability: In stock.
Product Description
"Simmering beneath this collection of half-formed dreams, existential shadows, mercurial hallucinations and tender silences is an understanding between three people that can't be put into words." - Linda Kohanov I don't claim to be a visionary, but for years I've been predicting the imminent arrival of a "spacejazz" movement among the more accomplished spacemusic artists.
Forgotten Gods, though not the first, is a sterling example of this genre -- a natural and fortuitous meeting of three talented musical psychonauts at exactly the right moment in their respective careers.
Each member of Suspended Memories has dug up the roots of his cultural inheritance, seeking the shadowed origins of the musical experience on the path to discovering a valid ritual music for today. Each has recognized the necessity of creating a super-charged ambiance that transports both musicians and listeners to a plane of psychological intensity that cannot be achieved simply by bombast or by volume.
National music writer Linda Kohanov (she also happens to be Mrs. STEVE ROACH) was on hand to witness their charmed early meetings, as well as the extraordinary fluidity of the recording process which she describes in the liner notes.
With its rich blend of elemental rhythms, mutated voicings and expanded fourth world tribal spaces, Forgotten Gods succeeds admirably in the quest for an improvised spacemusic. Like jazz, you can listen to each of the players and consider their moment-to-moment artistic choices. Like avant-garde work it achieves something wholly new, yet it also manages to satisfy the tonal, rhythmic and textural demands common in other forms of polar music. That's not bad for starters, but under the surface lie the powerful stirrings of an authentic ritual music for a secular age.
Empty your mind, turn down the lights, turn up the volume. Listen for an hour and I think you'll agree that Forgotten Gods hits the mark with a resounding bang, shake, rattle, and drone.

Turning a sandbox into an ecosystem with the Xbox Kinect
The SandyStation displays the topographical information on top of the sandbox as a series of specific colors.
Article Summary
The Xbox Kinect has certainly become a useful tool for innovation, with modders finding applications in medical imaging, robotics, and even aids for the visually impaired, to name just a few. Now it looks like you can add "topography" to that list with the development of the SandyStation. Created by two students in the Czech Republic, the SandyStation projects a realistic ecosystem over an ordinary sandbox, which can be altered in real-time.

KTM's newest E1 signing, Antoine Meo of France launched a strong opening bid for the E1 world title with a double victory in the opening two rounds of the World Championship in Talca, Chile.
Meo, who said after completing the three laps of about 60 km on Saturday after Round One that it had been 'a dream result' remained in winning form on Sunday in Round Two in what was hot and dry dusty conditions.
In what turned out to be a challenging day of racing Meo followed up his excellent ride on Saturday where he won five of the special tests to beat Honda's Rodrig Thain to set the fastest time in six of the eight tests on Sunday. It could not have been a better start for the French rider who is one of several new signings for the KTM Enduro Factory Team.
The weekend was not so successful for Meo's teammate Eero Remes of Finland. He finished fifth on Saturday and seventh on Sunday.
Good showing by young KTM riders
Meanwhile in the EJ (Junior) class Victor Guerrero of KTM Spain and brother of E2 KTM factory rider Cristobal also made a solid start to his campaign. Seventh on Saturday, the young Spanish rider vaulted into second on Sunday helped by two wins and two second in the tests. KTM riders Edoardo D'Ambrosio of Italy and Kevin Benavides of Argentina from the KTM supported team did well to finish 4-5 in the class. KTM was also successful in the Youth Cup with Italian rider Giacomo Redoni of Italy taking first place and Santiago Isaza of Colombia finishing 1-3.

The debate about greenhouse gases is heating up. Across a wide spectrum, some voices argue that emissions and climate aren't linked, while others urge immediate concerted global action to reduce the flow of emissions into the atmosphere. Even the advocates of action disagree about timing, goals, and means. Despite the controversy, one thing is certain: any form of intensified regulation would have profound implications for business.
Our contribution on this topic is not to evaluate the science of climate change or to address the question of whether and how countries around the world should act to reduce emissions. In this article we aim instead to give policy makers, if they choose to act, an understanding of the significance and cost of each possible method of reducing emissions and of the relative importance of different regions and sectors. To that end, we have developed an integrated fact base and related cost curves showing the significance and cost of each available approach, globally and by region and sector. Our other purpose is to help business leaders understand the implications of potential regulatory actions for companies and industries. Indeed, regulation is already on the minds of many executives. A recent survey1 1.Review of EU Emissions Trading Scheme, conducted by McKinsey on behalf of the EU Commission, was published in November 2005. Its findings reflect responses from 167 companies and 163 other institutions. indicates that half of all companies in Europe's energy-intensive industries regard the European Union's Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) as one of the primary factors affecting their long-term investment decisions.
As the baseline for our study, we used the "business-as-usual" projections for emissions growth2 2. Growth in emissions is driven mainly by the increasing demand for energy and transport around the world and by the deforestation of tropical areas. from the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). We then analyzed the significance and cost of each available method of reducing, or "abating," emissions relative to these business-as-usual projections. Our study3 3. Launched in spring 2006, the study has been conducted as a joint effort with the Swedish utility Vattenfall. However, the views expressed here are ours alone, and we are solely responsible for any errors. The results of the study have been reviewed by an academic panel consisting of professors Dennis Anderson (Imperial College London), Lars Bergman (Stockholm School of Economics), and Steve Pacala, Robert Socolow, and Robert Williams (Princeton University). covers power generation, manufacturing industry (with a focus on steel and cement), transportation, residential and commercial buildings, forestry, and agriculture and waste disposal, in six regions: North America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe (including Russia), other developed countries, China, and other developing nations. It spans three time horizons—2010, 2020, and 2030—and focuses on abatement measures that we estimate would cost 40 euros per ton or less in 2030. Others have conducted more detailed studies on specific industries and geographies. But to our knowledge, this is the first microeconomic investigation of its kind to cover all relevant greenhouse gases, sectors, and regions.
The cost curves we developed show estimates of the prospective annual abatement cost4 4. Calculated as the annual additional operating cost (including depreciation) less potential cost savings (for example, from reduced energy consumption) divided by the amount of emissions avoided. This formula means that costs can be negative if the cost savings are considerable. Possible costs for implementing a system to realize the abatement approaches are not included. in euros per ton of avoided emissions of greenhouse gases,5 5. Such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and sulfur hexafluoride. as well as the abatement potential of these approaches in gigatons of emissions. The abatement cost for wind power, for example, should be understood as the additional cost of producing electricity with this zero-emission technology instead of the cheaper fossil fuel-based power production it would replace. The abatement potential of wind power is our estimate of the feasible volume of emissions it could eliminate at a cost of 40 euros a ton or less. Looked at another way, these costs can be understood as the price—ultimately, to the global economy—of making any approach to abatement cost competitive or otherwise viable through policy decisions. A wide range of assumptions about the future cost and feasible deployment rates of available abatement measures underlie the estimates of their cost and significance. For example, the significance of wind power assumes that actions to abate greenhouse gases will have already begun across regions by 2008. The volumes in our model (and this article) should be seen as potential abatement, not as forecasts.
Our model for the "supply" of abatement can be compared with any politically determined target ("demand") for abatement in the years 2010, 2020, and 2030. The science of climate change is beyond the scope of our study and our expertise, however. We thus compare, for illustrative purposes, our findings on supply with three emissions targets discussed in the debate—targets that would, respectively, cap the long-term concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere at 550, 450, or 400 parts per million (a measure of the share of greenhouse gas molecules in the atmosphere). The goal of each target, according to its advocates, is to prevent the average global temperature from rising by more than 2 degrees Celsius. Any of these emissions targets would be challenging to reach by 2030, for they would all require at least a 50 percent improvement in the global economy's greenhouse gas efficiency (its volume of emissions relative to the size of GDP) compared with business-as-usual trends.
A simplified version of the global cost curve (Exhibit 1) shows our estimates of the significance and cost of feasible abatement measures in 2030—the end year of a period long enough for us to draw meaningful conclusions but short enough to let us make reasonably factual assumptions. We have developed similar cost curves for each sector in each region and for each of the three time frames.
A simplified global cost curve illustrates the estimated size and cost of feasible approaches to abatement by 2030.
At the low end of the curve are, for the most part, measures that improve energy efficiency. These measures, such as better insulation in new buildings (see "Making the most of the world's energy resources"), thus reduce emissions by lowering demand for power. Higher up the cost curve are approaches for adopting more greenhouse gas-efficient technologies (such as wind power and carbon capture and storage6 6. A technology for separating greenhouse gases from the combustion gases of fossil fuels and industrial processes and then storing the greenhouse gases in natural underground cavities. ) in power generation and manufacturing industry and for shifting to cleaner industrial processes. The curve also represents ways to reduce emissions by protecting, planting, or replanting tropical forests and by switching to agricultural practices with greater greenhouse gas efficiency.
We have no opinion about the demand for abatement or the probability of concerted global action to pursue any specific goal. But the application of our supply-side research to specific abatement targets can help policy makers and business leaders to understand the economic implications of abatement approaches by region and sector, as well as some of the repercussions for companies and the global economy. Our analysis assumes that the focus would be to capture all of the cheapest forms of abatement around the world but makes no judgment about what ought to be the ultimate distribution of costs. Of course, the ability to pay for reducing emissions varies greatly between developed and developing economies and among individual countries in each group.
For simplicity's sake, we compared our cost curve with the 450-parts-per-million scenario—in the midrange of the targets put forward by advocates. This scenario would require greenhouse gases to abate by 26 gigatons a year by 2030 (Exhibit 2). Under that scenario, and assuming that measures are implemented in order of increasing cost, the marginal cost per ton of emissions avoided would be 40 euros. (As a point of reference, since trading under the EU ETS began, in 2005, the price of greenhouse gas emissions has ranged from 6 to 31 euros a ton.)
Three abatement scenarios would require reductions beyond business as usual.
We had to make many assumptions about future cost developments for these measures and the practical possibilities for realizing them. We assumed, for instance, that the cost of carbon capture and storage will fall to 20 to 30 euros per ton of emissions in 2030 and that 85 percent of all coal-fired power plants built after 2020 will be equipped with this technology. These assumptions in turn underpin our estimate that it represents 3.1 gigatons of feasible abatement potential.
In a 25-year perspective, such assumptions are clearly debatable, and we make no claim that we are better than others at making them. We believe that the value of our work comes primarily from an integrated view across all sectors, regions, and greenhouse gases using a uniform methodology. This model allows us to assess the relative weight of different approaches, sectors, and regions from a global perspective.
Our analysis offers some noteworthy insights. It would be technically possible, for one thing, to capture 26.7 gigatons of abatement by addressing only measures costing no more than 40 euros a ton. But because these lower-cost possibilities are highly fragmented across sectors and regions—for instance, more than half of the potential abatements with a cost of 40 euros a ton or less are located in developing economies—an effective global abatement system would be needed to do so. Politically, this may be very challenging.
What's more, power generation and manufacturing industry, so often the primary focus of the climate change debate, account for less than half of the relatively low-cost potential (at a cost of up to 40 euros a ton) for reducing emissions (Exhibit 3). The implication is that if policy makers want to realize abatement measures in order of increasing cost, they must also find ways to effectively address opportunities in transportation, buildings, forestry, and agriculture. This potential is more difficult to capture, as it involves billions of small emitters—often consumers—rather than a limited number of big companies already subject to heavy regulation. Looking at specific measures, nearly one-quarter of the abatement potential at a cost of up to 40 euros a ton involves efficiency-enhancing measures (mainly in the buildings and transportation sectors) that would reduce demand for energy and carry no net cost. The measures we include in this category do not require changes in lifestyle or reduced levels of comfort but would force policy makers to address existing market imperfections by aligning the incentives of companies and consumers.
Power and manufacturing industry account for less than half of the overall potential to reduce emissions at a cost of 40 euros a ton or less.
Further, we found a strong correlation between economic growth and the ability to implement low-cost measures to reduce emissions, for it is cheaper to apply clean or energy-efficient technologies when building a new power plant, house, or car than to retrofit an old one. Finally, in a 2030 perspective, almost three-quarters of the potential to reduce emissions comes from measures that are either independent of technology or rely on mature rather than new technologies.
Even though developed economies emit substantially more greenhouse gases relative to the population than developing ones, we found that the latter account for more than half of the total abatement potential at a cost of no more than 40 euros a ton. Developing economies have such a high share for three reasons: their large populations, the lower cost of abating new growth as opposed to reducing existing emissions (especially in manufacturing industry and power generation of high-cost developed markets), and the fact that tropical countries have much of the potential to avoid emissions in forestry for 40 euros a ton or less (Exhibit 4).
Developing economies may account for more than half of the total abatement potential at a cost less than or equal to 40 euros a ton.
Forestry measures—protecting, planting, and replanting forests—make up 6.7 gigatons of the overall 26.7 gigatons of the potential abatement at a cost up to 40 euros per ton.7 7. As trees grow, they bind greenhouse gases. When they are cut down and burned, the greenhouse gases are released back into the atmosphere. We estimate that for no more than 40 euros a ton, tropical deforestation rates could be reduced by 50 percent in Africa and by 75 percent in Latin America, for example, and that this effort could generate nearly 3 gigatons of annual abatement by 2030. Major abatements in Asia's forests would cost more, since land is scarce and commercial logging has a higher opportunity cost than subsistence farming in Africa and commercial agriculture in Latin America.
In agriculture and waste disposal, which produce greenhouse gases such as methane and nitrous oxide, developing economies also represent more than half of the 1.5 gigatons of possible abatements costing no more than 40 euros a ton. Abatement measures in this sector would include shifting to fertilization and tillage techniques that generate fewer emissions and capturing methane from landfills.
An additional 6 gigatons—almost a quarter of the total abatement potential at a cost of 40 euros a ton or less—could be gained through measures with a zero or negative net life cycle cost. This potential appears mainly in transportation and in buildings. Improving the insulation of new ones, for example, would lower demand for energy to heat them and thus reduce emissions. Lower energy bills would more than compensate for the additional insulation costs. According to our model, measures like these, as well as some in manufacturing industry, hold the potential to almost halve future growth in global electricity demand, to approximately 1.3 percent a year, from 2.5 percent.
As for measures that would have a net cost, we found that around 35 percent of all potential abatements with a net cost of up to 40 euros a ton involve forestry; 28 percent, manufacturing industry; 25 percent, the power sector; 6 percent, agriculture; and 6 percent, transportation.
The power sector represented 9.4 gigatons, or 24 percent, of global greenhouse gas emissions in 2002, the latest year that consistent global figures are available across all sectors. In the IEA's business-as-usual scenario, emissions from power generation will increase to 16.8 gigatons a year in 2030 as a result of a doubling of global electricity demand. Five key groups of abatement measures costing 40 euros a ton or less are relevant to the power sector: reducing demand, carbon capture and storage, renewables, nuclear power, and improving the greenhouse gas efficiency of fossil fuel plants. Combined, these measures hold the potential to reduce the power sector's total emissions to 7.2 gigatons by 2030 (Exhibit 5).
Five abatement measures hold the potential to reduce the power sector's total emissions to 7.2 gigatons by 2030, from 9.4 in 2002.
Among power generation technologies, nuclear (at 0 to 5 euros a ton for avoided emissions) is the cheapest source of abatement and nearly cost competitive with power generated by fossil fuels. We estimate that abatements from carbon capture and storage could cost 20 to 30 euros a ton by 2030; those from wind power could average around 20 euros a ton, with a wide cost range depending on the location and on the previous penetration of weather-dependent electricity sources. In our model, the overall additional cost to the power sector of achieving the target of 450 parts per million, compared with the business-as-usual scenario, would be around 120 billion euros annually in 2030. This figure illustrates the very significant potential implications, for companies in the power sector, of any further actions that regulators may take to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Addressing the abatement potential described above would likely create a major shift from traditional coal and gas power generation to coal plants with carbon capture and storage, to renewables, and to nuclear power. In our model, coal-fired plants using carbon capture and storage would increase their share of the world's power generation capacity from nothing in 2002 to 17 percent by 2030; renewables (including a big but slow-growing share for large-scale hydropower), to 32 percent, from 18 percent; and nuclear power, to 21 percent, from 17 percent. Fossil fuel power generated without carbon capture and storage would decrease to 30 percent, from 65 percent.
The role of technology in reducing emissions is much debated. We found that some 70 percent of the possible abatements at a cost below or equal to 40 euros a ton would not depend on any major technological developments. These measures either involve very little technology (for example, those in forestry or agriculture) or rely primarily on mature technologies, such as nuclear power, small-scale hydropower, and energy-efficient lighting. The remaining 30 percent of abatements depend on new technologies or significantly lower costs for existing ones, such as carbon capture and storage, biofuels, wind power, and solar panels. The point is not that technological R&D has no importance for abatement but rather that low-tech abatement is important in a 2030 perspective.
Our analysis has revealed a number of important implications for each sector and region, should regulators choose to reduce emissions. We summarize the primary overall conclusions below.
For the global economy, the cost of the 450-parts-per-million scenario described in this article would depend on the ability to capture all of the available abatement potential that costs up to 40 euros a ton. If that happens, our cost curve indicates that the annual worldwide cost could be around 500 billion euros in 2030, 0.6 percent of that year's projected GDP. However, should more expensive approaches be required to reach the abatement goal, the cost could be as high as 1,100 billion euros, 1.4 percent of global GDP.
If, as some participants in the climate debate argue, the cost of reducing emissions could be an insurance policy against the potentially severe consequences of unchecked emissions in the future, it might be relevant to compare the costs with the global insurance industry's turnover (excluding life insurance)—some 3.3 percent of global GDP in 2005.
Should regulators choose to step up current programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, they should bear in mind four types of measures to restrain costs:
1. Ensuring strict technical standards and rules for the energy efficiency of buildings and vehicles
2. Establishing stable long-term incentives to encourage power producers and industrial companies to develop and deploy greenhouse gas-efficient technologies
3. Providing sufficient incentives and support to improve the cost efficiency of selected key technologies, including carbon capture and storage
4. Ensuring that the potential in forestry and agriculture is addressed effectively, primarily in developing countries; such a system would need to be closely linked to their overall development agenda
For companies in the power sector and energy-intensive industries, heightened greenhouse gas regulation would mean a shift in the global business environment on the same order of magnitude as the one launched by the oil crisis of the 1970s. It would have a fundamental impact on key issues of business strategy, such as production economics, cost competitiveness, investment decisions, and the value of different types of assets. Companies in these industries would therefore be wise to think through the effects of different types of greenhouse gas regulation, strive to shape it, and position themselves accordingly.
No matter whether, how, or when countries around the globe act to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, policy makers and business leaders can benefit from a thorough understanding of the relative economics of different possible approaches to abatement, as well as their implications for business and the global economy.

I also find it helps minor wounds heal faster and it is a soothing ointment to use. I *must* have a tube of this around at all times!Fantastic product! I never go without it! - 9/1/2010 1:50:08 PM I am a women with sensitive skin and I have used Code Blue for several years now. I use it under my arms, on my legs and on my bikini line after I shave, wax, or use any type of hair removal product. Unlike a previous reviewer, I never notice a burning sensation; a slight tingling perhaps, due to the numbing agents in the product, but never a burning. Overall, this is a great product to soothe skin after shaving and prevent razor burn and/or ingrown hairs. I highly recommend it!Gentle Clean - 8/10/2009 12:33:50 PM I bought this for my husband who has perfectly normal skin with a few occasional breakouts. I on the other hand am oily and am always broke out. We both love this soap. It won't dry you out or leave a lotion like feel. Just clean and fresh. Very gentle on the skin yet seems like it really cleans.great cleanser - 5/25/2009 4:48:21 PM Gentle and yet cleans really well without leaving a residue or overly drying. I really like the natural ingredients. Even my sister likes it.The good outweighs the bad - 9/23/2008 11:15:21 AM It doesn't really lather, so you can't use it with a shave brush which I would much prefer to do. However, it has great natural ingredients and does provide a great slip. Also, it doesn't track too well so you have to pay close attention to where the razor has been and where it hasn't. You won't get razor burn with this stuff unless you really don't know what you're doing.Great Product - 8/2/2007 3:54:16 PM I love this stuff. It lasts even on long rides. Would not use anything else.Average - 6/26/2007 3:39:37 AM I had the opposite problem of the other review listed here. I used this is hot weather and it poured out of the tube, too soupy. It worked very well for a few minutes then seems to wear off. I had to reapply several times throughout the ride. I prefer Chamois Butt'r over this product.Great Product! - 5/5/2007 11:04:54 AM This stuff works great. I use it primarily as a face wash. It is gentle enough not to be to tough on your skin but still get it squeeky clean. The scent is nice without being overpowering or "girly". Leaves you feeling clean without drying you out. -
Learn More About Brave Soldier
Whether you own a motorcycle or a 10-speed, if you've ever suffered an accident on the open road, you're all too familiar with the pain that comes with road rash. When the outer layer of skin becomes stripped away due to an accident, the pain, irritation and redness that follows can be difficult to bear. Abrasions like road rash are commonplace for athletes, and the painful recovery that follows can hinder both performance on the field and life after the game.
Brave Soldier began when one friend helped another. Mountain bike enthusiast Jeffrey Neal was in search of an ointment that would help heal his stubborn case of road rash. He approached Dr. Ezra Kest, a biking buddy who was also a celebrated dermatologist in their Southern California community. Dr. Kest had already created a reparative formula for his laser surgery patients, one that was rich in botanicals. He used that formula as a starting point, and Brave Soldier was born. Athletes embraced the brand, as did the LAPD bike squads and the Carolina Panthers NFL team. Now, over a decade later, Brave Soldier has grown into a collection of products that goes beyond first aid to include basics and protection.
Road rash is a painful condition where the top layers of skin are scraped off due to a fall on the ground. While the wound gets its name from the most common offender - the road - this painful abrasion can occur after spills on artificial turf or a rocky trail, too. Because each surface contains dirt and germs that can end up in your cut, it's important to treat it immediately to prevent infection. Brave Soldier's inaugural product features tea tree oil, a potent natural antiseptic that has been used for centuries for its curative and disinfecting properties. This Brave Soldier ointment also combines other natural extracts, along with powerful pharmaceuticals, to speed wound healing, minimize pain, and reduce keloid scarring. These natural ingredients include jojoba oil, green tea extract, macadamia nut oil, organic comfrey, aloe vera gel, hempseed oil, and pure lavender oil.

Myocardial perfusion imaging is a test to look at the blood flow and function of the heart. It uses a low dose of a radioactive agent . B lood flow to the heart is best tested when you r heart is working hard, so this test is usually done during exercise. If you cannot exercise, your doctor may use a drug to increase your hearts workload.
Myocardial perfusion imaging is used to look for any damage to your heart . It may also help to determin e your future risk of heart damage.
Your doctor may recommend the test to :
Complications can include:
During the test, technicians will be alert for any signs of heart or lung problems. They will be ready to take action if complications develop. Your doctor will be available during the test, as well.
Before the test is scheduled, let your doctor know if you have any medical conditions that may limit your ability to exercise. If you cannot exercise, your doctor may order a drug to mimic exercise. Let your doctor know if you have any of the following:
For 24-48 hours before the test, do not eat or drink any foods or take any of the medicines listed below:
Talk to your doctor before the test about any medications you are taking.
Tell your doctor if you:
Additional steps may include:
A blood pressure cuff is placed on one arm. An IV is inserted into a vein on your other arm. Small, round pads are placed on your chest. They will monitor your hearts electrical activity. Your blood pressure and heart rate are monitored before, during, and after you have exercised.
A small amount of radioactive material will be passed into the bloodstream through your IV. The radioactive tracers concentrate in the parts of the heart that have the best blood flow. A special camera will show the parts of the heart that are not getting enough blood. These images are taken while you are at rest and while you exercise.
Your heart may first be monitored while at rest. The exercise or "stress" part of the test is usually done with a treadmill. You begin by slowly walking on the treadmill . T he pace will gradually increase . As you exercise, your heart rate and blood pressure will change. At your peak exercise, the tracer is injected into the IV . Y ou will continue exercising for another one or two minutes so images can be taken .
If you are unable to exercise for any reason, the doctor may use a drug that mimics the effect of exercise on the heart. If you notice any changes in the way you feel, or experience any side effects, notify the doctor who is monitoring the test.
About 15-30 minutes after exercis e , you will lie down on a special table . More images will be taken of your heart.
If you have coronary artery disease, you may feel chest pain or angina during the test. You may give you medicine for the symptoms and the test may be stopped early. Let the care staff know if you have any symptoms of jaw, neck, arm, or chest pain.
You will be able to leave after the test is done.
If medicine was given to increases the work of your heart, you may have anxiety, lightheadedness , nausea, shakiness, or shortness of breath. Let the care staff know if you have any of these symptoms. There is a possibility that you may experience some effects from the medicine for up to 24 hours after the test.
The entire test takes 3-5 hours. You may receive the entire test in one day, or you may have each part of the test on separate days.
In general, this test should not be painful.
The doctor will compare the images taken of rest with the images taken during stress. If your heart is relatively healthy, there should be little or no difference between the images . If your heart has partially blocked arteries, images taken during stress will be different from those taken at rest.
After the test, call your doctor if any of the following occurs:
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Trail mix and granola bars get old pretty quickly, so if you want to improve the culinary aspects of camping, you'll need to get yourself some camp-kitchen equipment. This broad category includes everything from basic stoves for boiling water to full-on ovens and frying pan sets. If you want any kind of hot food or drink while you're backpacking, you'll need a camp stove at the very least. There is also a wide variety of pots, pans, grills, griddles, and accessories that allow you to cook just about anything you might make at home when you're out in the wilderness.
Ranging from lightweight, self-contained units to large grills and ovens, camp stoves come in many styles and sizes to accommodate everyone from the minimalist backpacker to the car-camping family of four.
There is a camp-friendly version of almost everything you have in your kitchen that's been designed to save weight and improve convenience, including pots, pans, plates, and coffee presses.

What Is Scoliosis?
Fast Facts: An Easy-to-Read Series of Publications for the Public
Scoliosis (sko-lee-O-sis) is a disorder in which there is a sideways curve of the spine, or backbone. Curves are often S-shaped or C-shaped. In most people, there is no known cause for this curve. This is known as idiopathic (id-ee-o-PATH-ik) scoliosis.
People with milder curves may only need to visit their doctor for periodic exams. Some people who have scoliosis need treatment.
- Who Has Scoliosis?
- What Causes Scoliosis?
- How Is Scoliosis Diagnosed?
- How Is Scoliosis Treated?
- Can Exercise Help?
- About Other Treatments for Scoliosis
- What Research Is Being Done on Scoliosis?
Who Has Scoliosis?
People of all ages can have scoliosis. The most common type is idiopathic scoliosis in children age 10 to 12 and in their early teens. This is the time when children are growing fast. Girls are more likely than boys to have this type of scoliosis.
Scoliosis can run in families. A child who has a parent, brother, or sister with idiopathic scoliosis should have regular checkups by the family doctor.
What Causes Scoliosis?
In most people with scoliosis, the cause is not known. In some cases, there is a known cause.
Doctors classify curves as:
- Nonstructural, which is when the spine is structurally normal and the curve is temporary. In these cases, the doctor will try to find and correct the cause.
- Structural, which is when the spine has a fixed curve. The cause could be a disease, injury, infection, or birth defect.
How Is Scoliosis Diagnosed?
Doctors use a medical and family history, physical exam, and tests when checking a person for scoliosis. An x ray of the spine can help the doctor decide if a person has scoliosis. The x ray lets the doctor measure the curve in degrees (such as 25 degrees) and see its location, shape, and pattern.
How Is Scoliosis Treated?
Treatment for scoliosis is based on:
- The person's age
- How much more he or she is likely to grow
- The degree and pattern of the curve
- The type of scoliosis.
The doctor may recommend observation, bracing, or surgery.
The doctor will check every 4 to 6 months to see if the curve is getting better or worse. Observation is used for those who have a curve of less than 25 degrees and are still growing.
Doctors may advise wearing a brace to stop a curve from getting worse. Bracing may be used when:
- The person is still growing and has a curve of more than 25 to 30 degrees.
- The person is still growing and has a curve between 20 and 29 degrees that is getting worse.
- The person has at least 2 years of growth remaining and has a curve that is between 20 and 29 degrees. If a girl, she should not have started having her monthly periods yet.
Doctors use surgery to correct a curve or stop it from getting worse when the person is still growing, the curve is more than 45 degrees, and the curve is getting worse. Surgery often involves fusing together two or more bones in the spine. The doctor may also put in a metal rod or other device. These devices are called implants. They stay in the body and help keep the spine straight after surgery.
Can Exercise Help?
Exercise programs have not been shown to keep scoliosis from getting worse. But it is important for all people, including those with scoliosis, to exercise and remain physically fit. Weight-bearing exercise, such as walking, running, soccer, and gymnastics, helps keep bones strong. For both boys and girls, exercising and playing sports improves their sense of well-being.
About Other Treatments for Scoliosis
So far, the following treatments have not been shown to keep curves from getting worse in scoliosis:
- Chiropractic treatment
- Electrical stimulation
- Nutritional supplements
- Exercise.
What Research Is Being Done on Scoliosis?
Researchers are looking for the causes of idiopathic scoliosis. They have studied genetics, growth, and changes in the spine, muscles, and nerves. They are studying how different treatments can help to straighten the spine or keep curves from getting worse. They are also studying the long-term effects of surgery and of untreated scoliosis.

One of my worst nightmares is receiving an invite to a baby shower. I end up standing in a corner, watching all the presents get opened and in my head repeating things like "Cute, but it's not safe" and "Yep, everyone has that but it's not recommended."
So, here you've just received the dreaded Baby Shower Invite, now you'll need to venture into the land of pink and blue bears to purchase something that chances are the parents will end up not using. There is so much stuff on their registry, so you have to make a decision by reconciling what you like with your budget. If you know nothing of babies, it's quite a mystery as to where to start.
Here are some great baby shower gifts. They won't be the flashiest, but they'll be useful and practical, so the parents will appreciate them all the more when the time comes:
