2011 was full of uncertainty around travelling to Japan. With so many different reports coming out at different times, it was hard to know exactly when or if it was okay to visit the country in any kind of recreational capacity. For some people the question wasn't even about safety. The question was: when is it right and appropriate to travel to a country that has suffered so much?
The triple disaster in northern Japan was the worst thing to happen to the country since World War II. It was so bad the media barely even noticed that a large volcano erupted on the southern side of the island just a couple days later. Immediately after the earthquake, the U.S. State Department issued an official warning and discouraged any unnecessary travel to the country. When news about the Fukushima nuclear plants started reaching the public, the agency also recommended that any U.S. citizens within a 50 mile radius of the plant either evacuate the area or if that wasn't possible remain indoors as much as possible.
Eventually, of course, the State Department removed all these restrictions, but despite reassurances from the Japanese government and many businesses in the travel industry, travelers are still keeping their distance from Japan and the country is experiencing a huge drop-off in annual tourism.
Immediately After
On March 30, 2011, just 19 days after the disaster, the State Department eased the restrictions on travel to Japan. While the situation at Fukushima was still extremely serious, and aftershocks lasted for weeks, commercial flights had resumed to all the major airports except Sendai, and a lot of progress has been made to restore the infrastructure.
It didn't take long for Tokyo public transportation to start working again, and, according to the State Department, 90% of the roads that were damaged by the quake or tsunami were quickly repaired or are at least made passable. Even the planned rolling power outages in Tokyo didn't last very long, although the outages in the northeast areas still caused some water and food shortages.
At the time, the State Department still recommended that visitors deferred any travel to the Tokyo or Yokohama areas, while Hokkaido, Shikoku, Kyushu, and Okinawa regions were considered outside of the troubled area and safe to visit.
What Is The Current Situation?
In the months that followed the disaster, the world watched as the people of Japan pulled together to rebuild and try to recover something of their former lives. Despite the reports of recovery, though, foreign travelers are still staying away, and the number of visitors has dropped dramatically. The tourist industry is capable of generating significant returns for business as well as the government, and the country needs to these visitors to come back.
Japan has come a long way since the day of the triple disaster, but full recovery is still a long way off. However, the country itself is still, according to all reports, safe to visit and extremely welcoming to travellers.

Have you noticed how two people can go on the exact same trip and come away with completely different experiences? No matter where we go or what we do when we get there, our individual travel personalities will influence how we view the whole experience. Understanding our personalities, then, is a great way to make sure our travel plans meet our expectations.
Travel personalities are also important when you are cruising around the world with friends and family, or you expect to meet a lot of new people along the way. People often behave differently while they are travelling than they normally would, and if you can spot the signs of these personality types, you may find it easier to interact with them in different situations.
There are many different personality types, and a spectrum of people within each type, but by understanding some of the more common traits (and where you might fit into them), you may find it easier to plan the trips that are right for you.
- The Scheduler – These are the travelers that need to know exactly what is going to happen every moment of the trip. They understand that travel time is limited, and they don't want to let any of it go to waste.
- The Worrier – There are countless things that can go wrong on a trip, and the Worrier will plan and re-plan for every possible contingency. Of course, they also understand that they have an impossible job, and can find it hard to relax.
- The Explorer – Travelers who wants to see new things and meet new people will have difficulties with guided tours and pre-set schedules. These are the people who want to see the things "normal tourists" never will.
- The Insider – No matter where you go, this personality seems to already know everything about the culture and the people. It's hard to say where their insider information came from, but they are very quick to share it.
- The Souvenir Hunter – The only way for these travelers to prove they've been somewhere is to go home with the T-shirt – or the hat, or the collectable spoon, or that strange statue carved from something resembling rock.
- The Penny Pincher – Trips are expensive, and these travelers want see going over the budget akin to leaving the clearly-marked trail. In other words, you could cause a lot of erosion and might get attacked by wile animals.
- The Anti-Planner – Much like the Explorer, the Anti-Planner believes that schedules only ruin the experience. They want to fly by the seat of their pants, rely on last minute hotel deals, and let the world surprise them.
- The Exclusives – For some travelers, only the best will do. These are the personalities who only stay in the best hotels and dine in the finest restaurants, and they enjoy having a very controlled experience.
Of course, you can mix and match a lot of these personality types, and some people will vary between extreme or moderate displays of these characteristics, but understanding where you fit into these travel personalities will help you get more out of your trips.

New York is a happening place, where there is always something new to see or do. Even if you live in the Big Apple, you can't possibly experience everything that the city has to offer. If you're a tourist, you might feel overwhelmed by all the options, especially if you do not have a plan, so if you are visiting New York for a limited time, keep the following destinations in mind:
The Statue of Liberty
A beacon for freedom and democracy across the world, the Statue of Liberty is a staple New York attraction. While it is easily seen from a distance, it is best seen up close—so take a ferry and get passes to view the monument. Be prepared to wait in line unless you purchase tickets to climb to the crown or a type of fast pass that will let you bypass the lines. On the way to the Statue of Liberty, stop off at Ellis Island to learn more about historical immigration into New York.
The Empire State Building
You won't find a better view in New York than the view from the 86th floor observation deck of the Empire State Building. The tallest building in NYC, the Empire State Building delivers a panoramic view that is unmatched—especially if you go after dusk when the city lights take over the cityscape. Take a look through the magnifying viewer to see the details, and prepare to be amazed by the vastness that is New York City. Compare the various sizes of the New York hotels and see for yourself what all the fuss was about in Sleepless in Seattle.
Central Park
If you're travelling on a budget, then you should be sure to check out Central Park. The pride of Manhattan, Central Park offers 843 acres of walking trails, ponds and free entertainment. There's something new every day, so while you won't be able to plan what you see, you are sure to find something for the whole family.
Bronx Zoo
In the entire United States there is not a bigger wildlife preserve than the Bronx Zoo. Home to over 4,500 animals on 265 acres of land, you will find authentic re-created habitats full of exotic animals. It will take you quite a bit of time to navigate the entire zoo, so plan your mealtimes accordingly.
Times Square
You've seen it in the movies, but that is nothing like visiting Times Square for yourself. There are many Broadway shows, street vendors, booths, lighted advertisements and more to entertain at Times Square—but if you are driving, know that you will have to be aggressive to get anywhere. If you haven't planned that far in advance, you can find a last minute hotel nearby that will make it easier for you to walk to Times Square instead.
If you're travelling to New York, plan ample time to see everything that's on your list. There's always something for everyone, so if you are a sports fan, a culture junkie or an entertainment aficionado, you can find something in NYC to impress.

- "In my experience, many people confuse being cowardly with being nice."
—Robert Kiyosaki
User interviews have a key flaw, a flaw many of us would be reluctant to admit. With the expectant eyes of our superiors bearing down upon us, we daren't show any sign of weakness. This is a flaw which threatens to undo and unravel all of our hard work.

8 Foods that Pack on Muscle

Water: The Muscle Bath
How it builds muscle: Whether it's in your shins or your shoulders, muscle is approximately 80 percent water. "Even a change of as little as 1 percent in body water can impair exercise performance and adversely affect recovery," says Volek. For example, a 1997 German study found that protein synthesis occurs at a higher rate in muscle cells that are well hydrated, compared with dehydrated cells. English translation: The more parched you are, the slower your body uses protein to build muscle.
Not sure how dry you are? "Weigh yourself before and after each exercise session. Then drink 24 ounces of water for every pound lost," says Larry Kenney, Ph.D., a physiology researcher at Pennsylvania State University.
How it keeps you healthy: Researchers at Loma Linda University found that men who drank five or more 8-ounce glasses of water a day were 54 percent less likely to suffer a fatal heart attack than those who drank two or fewer.

Happy noodles [San Mateo]
New 30 seat restaurant with a chef from Chengdu (Chef Zheng). Cuisine from Kunming , Guiling , Sichuan , and Chongqing according to a sign on the door.
The temporary menu lists 30 something items, including 5 dishes you can order with handmade noodles (the characters 拉麵 indicate hand pulled, I think).
Anyone been? They're closed on Sundays and Mondays.
153 S. B St, San Mateo
re: Tripeler
In Chinese it literally means pulled noodles, and generally refers to hand-pulled.
Their "handmade noodles" is not really handmade. Machine made in a supplier factory off-site. Their dishes have authentic sounding names but are not at all authentic. Authentic sounding names draws in the crowd and higher prices. Just OK if you're in the nabe and desperate for food.
Just tried this place out - one of the most enjoyable Sichuan meals I've had (though that doesn't mean much). Fresh, quality ingredients - prepared well. Clean, modern ambiance, decent service.
The noodles are not hand-pulled but could very well be handmade - they've got the right amount of chewiness and smooth mouthfeel. Compared to most hand-pulled noodles, they're slightly wider and flatter. The craze over hand-pulled noodles is a little misguided in my opinion - it used to be that you pretty much had to get hand-pulled noodles to have the right texture and mouthfeel. But these days, other methods seem to be catching up. Who cares how the noodles are made, as long as they taste / feel good?
In any event, we got the dan dan noodles, noodles with fish, and cucumber appetizer. Both were excellent (note that by default they come with rice noodles - you have to specifically request the handmade noodles). The dan dan noodles came with a good-sized portion of dou miao, which was a first for me, but definitely appreciated. The fish was fresh - always a concern with Sichuan restaurants. The noodles did soften up a little as the meal went on - not sure what they can do about that though (maybe I just need to eat faster). Cucumbers were really good - served with copious chili peppers and peppercorn husks, but mostly for decoration (it was barely spicy).
A pleasant surprise!
Dan dan mein (ordered with the "raman" noodles) were topped with ya cai, ground pork, green onions, pea shoots ("dou miao," thanks mr_darcy!), a generous portion of chili oil with lots of sichuan peppercorn flavor, ground peanuts, and a spot of chili (garlic?) sauce. The bottom of the bowl had a mix of ingredients including black sesame paste.
Overall, this was a very good DDM with lots of things going on. Pea shoots weren't something I've had in DDM before and they added a fresh element. They matched up nicely with the wide noodles and, combined with the ground peanuts, this made for a crunchy dish. There was a small amount of ya cai and ground pork, but just enough to balance out the salt and savoriness of the dish. The amount of sesame paste was fine at first, but its texture became more noticeable as the noodle heap shrunk.
The one element I flat out didn't like was the chili (garlic?) sauce, the heat and flavor of which stuck out like a sore thumb. I wouldn't mix any in next time.
I also got an order of the Guilin noodle soup. Upon my request, the soup was served extra spicy (topped with a large amount of their sichuan peppercorn heavy chili oil). Also present were peanuts, cilantro, pickled vegetables (definitely long beans), thin slices of beef, fresh lettuce leaves, and thin rice noodles the gauge of thin spaghetti.
I ordered the Guilin noodle soup extra spicy, and that masked any subtle flavors in the chicken stock. What came through even still was a complex flavor with a nice jolt of salt and acidity from the pickled vegetables. They did a nice job at keeping the beef tender. It was enjoyable to eat the lettuce as it slowly transitioned from crispy and fresh to wilted and flavor packed.
re: hyperbowler
This is a nice place and certainly a good one for solo diners. I ordered their signature "over-the-bridge" noodles, and here are my observations:
1. The portion size is small. You need $10-12 to get out the door, and if you are hungry, one noodle bowl is probably not enough.
2. The broth is clean and light. Very light hand in salt or MSG (or lack of). I like that a lot. For some reason, this gave me a flashback of Japanese ramen places where I know they don't use or are light-handed in MSG like Halu.
3. Even though I had already been informed by K K.'s review regarding their hand- or rather machine-pulled noodles, I forgot about that when I ordered and got the standard rice noodles (literally "noodle threads"), which were OK.
4. I don't understand why all these places use the term "over the bridge." I can understand if they don't want to transfer the ingredients at your table to the hot broth, because it is labor-intensive and perhaps involves the health code, but "over the bridge" implies there will be some hot oil over the surface of the broth to keep things warm. There's always little oil in all the "over the bridge" preparations around. In my opinion, just don't call it that way.
re: vincentlo
Good point about the noodles. The menu says something like "with rice noodle or raman" and it sounds like the rice ones are the default. The server confirmed that the pulled wheat noodles are machine made, but good is good.
BTW, fans of ya cai should note that they have a fried rice dish that uses it as an ingredient.
re: vincentlo
"Over the bridge" doesn't necessarily imply an oil slick on your bowl of noodles. Serving the noodles with the toppings on the side (guoqiao) is a characteristic of Suzhou-style noodle joints (very popular in Shanghai) and even considered the "authentic" way of serving noodles there.
re: soupçon
The oil slick is part of the legend of how the crossing-the-bridge noodles originated:
The Chinese version of this page has more info. It claims that while the casual version eaten as breakfast on the streets doesn't involve the process of cooking the raw meat when served, there are special crossing-the-bridge noodle restaurants where raw meat is indeed cooked in the hot pot of broth with the oil at the table, at a temperature higher than 212 degrees because of the oil.
re: vincentlo
It's not just "on the streets" but the also the most venerable noodle shops in Suzhou where "over the bridge" simply refers to toppings on the side. And rice noodles are never used.
The very notion of serving the toppings on the side "on the streets" seems implausible to me.
re: soupçon
I'm a little confused about whether "over the bridge" (which google doesn't seem to know much about) and "crossing the bridge" noodles are the same, but if we're talking about "crossing the bridge" Wikipedia says the name is lost in the sands of time but theories do involve the toppings and broth traveling separately.
Not that we believe everything Wikipedia says....
I've had "crossing the bridge" at the famous place in Kunming that claims to have popularized it, and honestly didn't get it. It was noodles. Would have taken a few more eats at different places

A YouTube video of a family singing and dancing at Auschwitz has received more than half a million hits and mixed reaction.
Australian artist Jane Korman filmed her 89-year-old father Adolek Kohn, a former inmate at Auschwitz, and her three children dancing outside the infamous death camp in Poland, as well as at the Dachau concentration camp in Germany, Terezin in the Czech Republic and other Holocaust memorial sites in Europe to the tune of Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive."
The video, which was posted originally last December, has received mass viral attention this week, skyrocketing to more than 500,000 hits on the popular video-sharing Web site. The video also has generated more than 3,000 responses, many of them sympathetic. But some were scathing, and the video also has been exploited by neo-Nazi websites.
Korman, of Melbourne, posted a own message defending her work.
"To those that I have offended—I am sorry," she wrote. "My intention was to present a fresh perspective to younger generations who have often become desensitized to the horrors of the Holocaust. I hope 'Dancing Auschwitz' helps keep the lessons of the past alive so they will be forever remembered."
When she first posted the video online, Korman wrote, "This dance is a tribute to the tenacity of the human spirit and a celebration of life. It is an affirmation that man can triumph over the darkest of circumstance and still strive to find beauty and peace."
In an interview with the BBC this week, Korman's father said first the family prayed for the martyrs.
"The dancing was also very important because we are alive, we survived," Kohn said.
Not everyone agreed. Kamil Cwiok, 86, told The Daily Mail that "I don't see how this video is a mark of respect for the millions who didn't survive, nor for those who did. It seems to trivialize the horrors that were
committed there."

The Golden State Warriors have hit an impasse in their trade pursuit of All-Star forward Kevin Love due to what is being described as an "organizational split" on the willingness to part with prized shooting guard Klay Thompson, according to sources close to the process.
After it appeared that the Warriors were prepared to part with Thompson in a deal to land Minnesota's Love, sources told ESPN.com that Hall of Fame consultant Jerry West and new Warriors coach Steve Kerr have voiced opposition to surrendering both Thompson and a future first-round pick to the Timberwolves along with former All-Star forward David Lee for Love and Wolves guard Kevin Martin.
Others in the Warriors' organization are said to be willing to surrender Thompson if it means landing Love, who is widely regarded as the marquee name on this offseason's trade market. But sources say the talks, which were gathering momentum in advance of the upcoming NBA draft, have stalled.
In a visit Friday with local reporters, Warriors general manager Bob Myers downplayed his team's chances of winning the Love sweepstakes, describing the prospect of a significant trade before July 1 "unlikely." But Myers added that he would have been similarly pessimistic last July had he been asked about Golden State's eventual acquisition of Andre Iguodala.
"Right now, I think it's unlikely," Myers said. "Right now. Today."
The Los Angeles Times reported in Saturday's editions that the Los Angeles Lakers have tried to join the discussions by offering to include the No. 7 pick in Thursday's draft to the Wolves in a bid to route Thompson to L.A. in a three-way deal. Thompson, 24, is not only half of what former Warriors coach Mark Jackson routinely referred to as the best-shooting backcourt in NBA history, alongside star Stephen Curry, but also is regarded as a top-notch perimeter defender.
Thompson -- son of former Lakers big man and current Lakers broadcaster Mychal Thompson -- is eligible for a lucrative contract extension this summer.
ESPN.com reported Thursday that Minnesota also is interested in Golden State's Harrison Barnes as a potential addition to the transaction, which could give the Warriors further pause.
Sources told ESPN.com that the Lakers' attempts to join the Minnesota/Golden State talks are part of a larger plan to explore their options with the No. 7 pick, which is L.A.'s highest draft selection since drafting James Worthy at No. 1 overall in 1982.
The Lakers are said to be more likely to hang onto their pick rather than part with it, especially given the possibility that highly touted big man Joel Embiid falls to No. 7 in the wake of a foot injury that required surgery. But L.A. has indeed been shopping the pick -- both on its own as well as packaged with the expiring $9.7 million contract of two-time MVP Steve Nash -- to see what's out there trade-wise.
The Warriors, Boston Celtics and Denver Nuggets, sources say, are considered the strongest current trade contenders for Love, provided Wolves president of basketball operations Flip Saunders -- now also Minnesota's coach -- can be convinced to part with his best player.

I am 43 years old and have recently been told by my ob/gyn that I have entered perimenopause. I have read many disconcerting articles about the changes to women's skin due to hormonal changes in the 40s. I realize these changes are inevitable, but how can I best maintain the youthful appearance of my skin? I currently eat healthy, drink plenty of water, and use spf 30 everyday. Could you give any additional recommendations? Thanks in advance.

Amsterdam, the Netherlands: One year after giving birth, women were less likely to have the most dangerous kind of obesity if they had been given probiotics from the first trimester of pregnancy, found new research that suggests manipulating the balance of bacteria in the gut may help fight obesity.
Probiotics are bacteria that help maintain a healthy bacterial balance in the digestive tract by reducing the growth of harmful bacteria. They are part of the normal digestive system and play a role in controlling inflammation. Researchers have for many years been studying the potential of using probiotic supplementation to address a number of intestinal diseases. More recently, obesity researchers have started to investigate whether the balance of bacteria in the gut might play a role in making people fat and whether adjusting that balance could help.
"The results of our study, the first to demonstrate the impact of probiotics-supplemented dietary counselling on adiposity, were encouraging," said Kirsi Laitinen, a nutritionist and senior lecturer at the University of Turku in Finland who presented her findings on Thursday at the European Congress on Obesity. "The women who got the probiotics fared best. One year after childbirth, they had the lowest levels of central obesity as well as the lowest body fat percentage."
"Central obesity, where overall obesity is combined with a particularly fat belly, is considered especially unhealthy," Laitinen said. "We found it in 25% of the women who had received the probiotics along with dietary counselling, compared with 43% in the women who received diet advice alone."
In the study, 256 women were randomly divided into three groups during the first trimester of pregnancy. Two of the groups received dietary counselling consistent with what's recommended during pregnancy for healthy weight gain and optimal foetal development. They were also given food such as spreads and salad dressings wi

Back of the Shelf?
I've got to start by saying that the dark chocolate mint almond pro is the best of the best when it comes to protein bars. the flavor is all there, the texture is "not chalky," and the bar just all around delivers, normally. But in my last shipment things were a bit sketchy. i could see that the box was a little worse for wear. When I opened up a bar and took the first bite, something was wrong. The bar was hard and chalky. When i checked the box for the sell by date, it read: Sell By June 29.Hopefully this was a fluke but it still hurts to trash twenty-five dollars.

Originally written on Fox Sports Arizona | Last updated 2/5/13
Tim Tebow drew a crowd recently while working out at a community college in Arizona, but his visit to the desert hasn't only been about football. Tebow, the New York Jets' frequently talked-about backup quarterback who has been the subject of trade speculation after not throwing a pass this past season, made an appearance over the weekend at nondenominational Impact Church in Scottsdale. Tebow, who is widely known for his Christian missions and professings, was a guest speaker for a Sunday service alongside pastor Travis Hearn and executive pastor Andre Wadsworth. If that latter name looks familiar, it should: Wadsworth was the No. 3 overall pick in the 2008 NFL draft by the Cardinals out of Florida State, and he went on to play three years -- all with Arizona -- before retiring after a series of injuries and turning his bible study into Impact Church about three years ago. Hearn is the team chaplain for the Phoenix Suns and the Oakland Athletics, and the church is known to coun...

This stunning bracelet created by Coro is marked with the Pegasus, script Coro and states patent pend. After 1955 Coro did not use patent pending on jewelry, they used copyright. This lovely unique piece has hinges on both sides that opens the sides of the bracelet so you can put the bracelet with ease on your wrist. The bracelet is about 2 1/2" from hinge to hinge. I would compare the size to a medium. This bracelet looks very elegant on your wrist.

text: 22-inch Ice Cream Sandwich tablet planned by ViewSonic Stormy Beach 25 May, 2012 4 Comments Say What?!?!? Apparently ViewSonic is looking to take the idea of Android computing and tablets to the next, rather insane, level. ViewSonic should be showing off a new 22-inch Android 4.0 tablet at the upcoming Computex conference in June. The tabletors (Tablet + Monitor), ya I suck at clever names, will be a new breed of "smart business tablet monitors." They are expected to show off a wide array of these types of device both running Android and Windows 8. Not many details are floating around about these behemoths just yet though. We hope they make the resolution impressive and drop some serious processing power inside. The small little image that is out and about leads us to think it will have some sort of kickstand for it to prop up during a presentation. Will they go with a HUGE battery, or perhaps a direct power supply? Computex is just around the corner and we will be sure to our eyes out for what ViewSonic has up their sleeves. I sure wouldn't carry one around, but it would look pretty awesome sitting on my nightstand next to my bed. Source: AndroidCommunity jeff donuts damn i would love one of these im not a stickler on size like everyone else. give me the biggest screen possibe (thats why i have the s2. at the time it was the biggest phone i could afford ((craigslist baby brand new in the box unopened cheaper than the store)) except for the note, too expensive) next phone has to be bigger than 4.5in and i really really hate those 7in toy tablets.

This is a continuation-in-part of our U.S. patent application Ser. No. 452,896, filed on Dec. 19, 1989 abandoned.
This invention relates to solid film-forming compositions for use in coating foods and pharmaceuticals and the like. More particularly, the invention is concerned with such film-forming compositions which are dispersible in aqueous media.
It is well known in the art to envelop solid pharmaceutical materials, tablets, granules and seeds, for example, in a film covering as protection against oxidation, moisture, light, abrasion, rough handling, etc. The film should be free of roughness, irregularities, cracks or mottled colorations. Film smoothness is important as an aid in swallowing. A hard, shiny surface is desirable for an attractive appearance. Of course, films and coating compositions for ingestion must be edible or physiologically compatible.
Film-forming compositions for coating pharmaceutical tablets preferably contain as the film-forming element, a film-forming resinous material, either naturally occurring or synthetic. Normally, such compositions are applied as a liquid coating formulation comprising a liquid carrier medium having dispersed or dissolved therein the film-forming components. The liquid medium can be an organic solvent or water or a combination of both. Water is preferred owing to the risk of fire and toxicity from organic solvents. Also having to comply with governmental safety standards pertaining to the transportation and handling of industrial chemicals is another minus factor against solvent use.
Generally speaking, application of the liquid coating formulation is effected by spraying dry pharmaceutical forms in rotation in a coating pan or in a fluidized air bed. After evaporation of the liquid medium, the film coated pharmaceuticals are recovered.
As a commercial product, liquid coating compositions are unsatisfactory because of the high transportation costs due to the weight of the liquid carrier. Clearly, it is more practical and economical to ship coating compositions in dry form which can be reconstituted with the appropriate solvent or liquid by the pharmaceutical customer. For this, a readily dispersible product is desirable which can be reconstituted by simple mixing or stirring.
It is known in the prior art to prepare dry coating formulations by grinding a polymer powder with pigment particles and grinding the mixture further to give a fine powder. However, when this is stirred into water, the polymer tends to agglomerate resulting in a nonuniform dispersion which, unless permitted to solvate for an extended period of time, gives poor coatings due to the presence of lumps and fish eyes.
An improved coating system is described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,543,370 and 4,683,256 assigned to the Colorcon Corporation. According to these documents, a pharmaceutical coating composition is produced by high intensity blending of polymer and pigment particles in the presence of a plasticizer. The resulting powder is mixed with water to form a coating dispersion which is applied to tablets. On drying a uniform film is said to be produced on the tablets. The coating can also be applied as a solution in an organic solvent.
The dry coating compositions of the Colorcon patents consist of separate individual particles of pigment and polymer. Although the vigorous dry blending produces a fine powder, its heterogeneous nature is readily discernible under the scanning electron microscope.
A technique has now been found whereby solid, water dispersible film-forming compositions which are of a homogeneous nature can be realized and the provisions and preparation of said compositions together with film coated pharmaceuticals and the like prepared therewith constitutes the object and purpose of the invention.
The solid water dispersible film-forming compositions of the invention comprise freeze-dried particles of a film-forming water-soluble cellulose acetate (WSCA) produced by freeze-frying an aqueous solution of the polymer. Normally, the WSCA polymer solution will contain a plasticizer and pigment which subsequently appear homogeneously distributed in each of the freeze-dried particles derived from the polymer solution. On mixing the homogeneous film-forming composition with water, there is produced an aqueous film-forming coating dispersion comprising a solution of the WSCA in which are suspended any particulates such as pigments, colorants or the like. As understood herein, the term "dispersion" includes the aqueous polymer solution alone or in combination with suspended matter. The aqueous coating dispersion can be applied to various articles such as a pharmaceutical or food substrate. After drying, there remains a smooth homogeneous film envelope on the so-coated object.
The WSCA aqueous dispersions of the invention, prepared from the freeze-dried WSCA, does not separate upon standing overnight being superior in this respect to the aqueous dispersions formed from the dry blended polymer compositions of the aforecited U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,543,370 and 4,683,256.
In carrying out the invention, there is first prepared an aqueous solution of WSCA to which is added plasticizer and optionally a pigment. After thoroughly blending the ingredients a homogeneous liquid is produced. This generally contains a solids content of from about 5% to about 40%, preferably about 10% to about 20%. Of the solids, about 50% to about 90%, preferably about 80% to about 90% is polymer; about 2% to about 40%, preferably about 5% to about 10% is plasticizer and about 0% to about 20%, preferably about 5% to about 7.5% is pigment; all percentages are on a 100% by weight basis.
The so prepared polymer solution is subjected to freeze-drying. In the procedure employed herein, the polymer solution is frozen in bulk by placing it in large trays followed by crushing or pulverizing of the resultant frozen mass to the desired particle size. The frozen WSCA particles are then dried under vacuum with controlled heat to remove moisture and thereby produce dried polymer particles. Freeze-drying is a well known industrial technique for removing water and moisture from an aqueous substrate; see Chemical and Process Technology Encyclopedia by Douglas M. Considine, Editor-in-Chief; McGraw-Hill Book Company, pages 523-527.
The freeze-dried (lyophilized) pulverulent film-forming composition of the invention consists mainly of highly porous, sponge-like particles having a bulk density of the order of about 100 mg/ml to 400 mg/ml. However, particle size is not critical except insofar as it affects the rate of dispersion, larger particles requiring a longer time to undergo dispersion than smaller particles.
The lyophilized powder in the above produced particle sizes is dispersed in water, using ordinary mixing or agitation means, such as a variable speed propeller mixer, to give an aqueous, film-forming coating composition. Mixing time to obtain a homogeneous dispersion is of the order of about 15 to about 30 minutes. Exemplary particle size ranges from about 75 to 850 microns, preferably, about 60 to 250 microns.
Viscosity of the dispersion is a function of polymer, concentration and molecular weight. By varying these parameters, dispersions having a wide range of viscosities can be realized. Viscosities (Brookfield RVT, Spindle #3 at 20 rpm) of the film-forming dispersions of the invention are typically in the neighborhood of 300 to 700 cps. The compositions are stable and do not settle out or agglomerate over a 24 hour period.
Microscopic examination of the freeze-dried particles of WSCA reveals their homogeneous nature; none of the individual components making up the particle can be discerned. It is believed that this homogeneity at the particle level accounts for superior suspension stability of the dispersion and improved smoothness of the film coatings as compared with film coatings made from dry blends of polymer and pigment. Tests on pharmaceutical forms coated with the pigmented polymer showed excellent preservation of cores against heat and humidity.
WSCA is a known material which is extensively documented in the patent and technical literature; see for instance, U.S. Pat. No. 3,482,011 to Bohrer and assigned to Celanese Corporation. The polymer is available in various viscosity grades from the Hoechst-Celanese Corporation, Charlotte, N.C. 28232. Films obtained with water-soluble cellulose acetate are clear, flexible, strong and durable.
WSCA employed herein is preferably a mixture of low and medium viscosity types to provide a polymer blend from which aqueous polymer dispersion can be prepared having the aforementioned viscosity in the 300 to 700 cps. range.
Any of the pigments commonly used in making coating dispersions for coating tablets and the like are suitable for inclusion in the dry film-forming compositions of the invention. Examples are FD&C and D&C lakes, titanium dioxide, magnesium carbonate, talc, pyrogenic silica, iron oxides, channel black and insoluble dyes. Also satisfactory are natural pigments such as riboflavin, carmine 40, curcumin and annatto; pigments are optional ingredients which can be omitted.
Plasticizers for the WSCA in the coatings of the invention include polyethylene glycols (PEG) having a molecular weight range of about 200 to 4000, acetylated monoglyceride, glycerin, propylene glycol, triethyl citrate, acetyl triethyl citrate, triacetin; preferred plasticizers are glycerin and PEG 400.
The film-forming composition can be used to coat pharmaceuticals such as tablets, seeds, granules, pellets, soft and hard gelatin capsules and the like.
The aforementioned pharmaceutical dosage forms comprise drug classes such as multivitamins, multivitamins with minerals, prenatal vitamins, vitamins A and D, B1, B2, B6, B12, and vitamin B complex with vitamin C. Additional drug classes include:
Analgesics--acetaminophen, aspirin, ibuprofen, ketoprofen and the like, indomethacin, naproxen, acetaminophen with codeine and acetaminophen with propoxyphene napsylate.
Antibiotics--erythromycin, cephalosporins, etc.
Antiepileptics--phensuximide, phenytoin sodium and valproate sodium.
Antihistamines--chloropheniramine maleate, diphenhydramine hydrochloride, triprolidine hydrochloride, etc.
Cough and Cold Drugs--dextromethorphan hydrobromide, ephedrine sulfate, quaifenesin, phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride, promethazine hydrochloride, and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride.
Cardiovascular Drugs--captopril, chlorthiazide and hydrochlorthiazide, diltiazem, nadolol, papaverine hydrochloride, procainamide hydrochloride, propranolol hydrochloride, quinidine gluconate, quinidine sulfate, etc.
Electrolytes--potassium chloride.
Gastrointestinal Drugs--cimetidine, loperamide hydrochloride and ranitidine.
Respiratory Drugs--albuterol sulfate, aminophylline, theophylline, etc.

Television progress continues. In the late 1990s, the ITU defined the parameter values for HDTV and the 720p families. At its meeting in May 2012, ITU-R Working party 6C, the same group, made the leap forward to the parameter values for the next two generations of television formats. These are the (current name) 4K and 8K UHDTV formats - Ultra High Definition Television. They are constructed as multiples of the 1080p1920 format in ITU-R Rec. 709. WP6C is chaired by David Wood from the EBU Technology and Development Department.
The new formats take advantage of future displays' greater colour range, have the option of 'constant luminance' encoding, and allow up to 120 pictures/second. Discussions to broadcast these systems currently centre on the to date largely unused 22GHz satellite broadcast band, but terrestrial broadcasting may eventually be possible.
