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
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.

20th century advertising has taught us to associate quality artwork and polish with quality products. Given two apps that do the same thing, a potential customer will pick the one that looks and feels better. This means every great app needs great art. Since most developers aren't artists or designers by trade, I've assembled a list of resources that can help. Here are icons, fonts, sounds, color schemes, and other great art assets to help you make your app stand out from the crowd.

Lawmakers: Reconsider CSU-Pueblo cuts
Garcia, Vigil send letter asking chancellor to create jobs instead
State Reps. Leroy Garcia, D-Pueblo, and Ed Vigil, D-Pueblo, are urging Colorado State University Chancellor Michael Martin to reconsider his decision to impose a $3.3 million budget cut on CSU-Pueblo.
"Now is not the time to be weakening CSU-Pueblo, but strengthening it," the lawmakers wrote in a letter. "Now is not the time to be cutting jobs, but creating them."
Cuts could mean the layoff of as many as 50 faculty and staff in 2015-16 fiscal year, at a time when other institutions in the CSU system are expanding. They say CSU-Pueblo is a federally recognized Hispanic-serving institution with a proven track record of serving Hispanic and at-risk students.
They also point out that Northern Colorado already has numerous options for a four-year or advanced degree, while CSU-Pueblo stands alone for the area south of Colorado Springs.
"Our community was under the impression, because we were promised, that joining the CSU system would protect CSU-Pueblo from dramatic shifts, and that a larger university system would provide collective institutional protection," the lawmakers wrote. "This does not seem to be the case today."
Martin is scheduled to come to the CSU-Pueblo campus Friday to answer questions about the cuts.

Recent reviews:
July 23, 2015 - I wrote a review but forgot to rate it. 5 stars definitely!!
March 9, 2015 - This is a super comfy top, and the colors are gorgeous. A piece of wearable art!
February 9, 2015 - I just received this top and I absolutely LOVE it. The sizing is pretty generous which is fine with me since I like my clothes looser. The sleeves are really long but look so cute rolled up. Very comfortable and great colors. I highly recommend this top.
February 8, 2015 - The colors are great. I can wear it with so many different colors. The only thing I can say is some of strings on bottom were coming loose but I could easily fix this.
January 3, 2015 - I gave this to my daughter and she loves it! I already have one of my own. The colors are so bright and it's very comfortable. I have received many compliments...

In today's society, games are fulfilling real human needs in ways that reality is not. Hundreds of millions of people globally — 174 million in the United States alone — regularly inhabit game worlds because they provide the rewards, stimulating challenges, and epic victories that are so often lacking in the real world. Instead of futile handwringing about this exodus from reality, world-renowned game designer Jane McGonigal argues that we need to figure out how to make the real world—our homes, our businesses and our communities—engage us in the way that games do.
Drawing on positive psychology and cognitive science, McGonigal reveals how game designers have hit on core truths about what makes us happy, from social connection to having satisfying work to do. Game designers intuitively understand how to optimize human experience. Reality is Broken shows that games can teach us essential lessons about mass collaboration, creating emotional incentives, and increasing engagement that will be relevant to everyone.
©2011 Jane McGonigal (P)2011 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
"Game In Real Life"
Fascinating game theory applied to improving our everyday lives. Make any task better by making it a game. Harness the power of the masses to accomplish meaningful goals.
I am an energetic wife, mother and grandmother with a busy life and tired eyes. I love being able to listen to books while doing chores, etc.
"Very intriguing!"
I loved this book so much that I ordered it in ebook format for my daughter who lives in Minnesota. There is so much great information in here I wanted her to be able to highlight and mark passages.
If we could implement a few of the things she suggests here it would transform school and work for many of us.
"Good info, but hard to get through"
It was too long. This book could have been abridged without losing much
Probably not, though you never know. Though I think she did a good job researching the role games had and continue to have in society, I think some directions she went were a little too bizarre for what I had in mind.
I don't choose books based on who narrates them.
No. Too long as it is.
This book took me a long time to get through. It wasn't that it was difficult. It was just a little creepy in some ways (making a game out of visiting cemeteries, trying to pass off participation in multi-player shoot-em-up games as being involved in something bigger than oneself, etc...) There was a lot of research to back up her themes, though some of it sounded superfluous. I was looking for a book about gaming and business. There is good content in this regard, but there was too much 'gaming will save the world' kind of themes. I'll need to get another book that sticks to gaming and business.
"I loved the concept"
I am a huge gamer. I'm also the Director of Education at a small private school for troubled teen boys. The ideas and concepts presented in this book resonated deeply with me. I'm so interested in this, I started a Master's Program at Texas A&M Commerce on Global eLearning. The ideas presented in this book are at the leading edge of education today. It is a fantastic read!
Julia Whelan's reading style and approach lent itself very well to this book. Her tone is lively and excited. Her enthusiasm for the topic is apparent though out.
"Make reality more like games!"
Not necessarily. This book translates well to audio.
Her logical progression to the benefits of games. Also the reader was excellent.
Her inflections really draw you in.
As much as you want to resist the idea that games are superior to reality, or even a good use of time, Jane has you wanting to know where to sign up for various real life games by the end. I convinced my Physical Medicine doctor. He said he'd be buying a copy of the book on his way home from work.
If anyone wants a sample of Jane, they can look at her TED talk on the benefits of games.
"Offers a fascinating idea!"
Reality is Broken contains some very good ideas about games, design and how we can get the most from life.
Games create possbilites.
Haven't read anything like this before. Inspiring.
Julia's voice was soothing yet kept my attention. Sounded authoritative as well.
No. It is 12 hours. Listened while driving to and from work.
I watched both of the TED talks that Jane has recorded on YouTube. Very inspiring.
"Thank You for the Shiny New Tool!!!"
This book tied it all together for me. From the Great Game of Business to the Happiness Hypothesis and all the positive psychology I have found in between. I have my new favorite weapon in my life mission. Never played a social video game in my life but reading this book I realized I have been playing games, leveling up and plus one-ing(sp?) the negatives into positives my whole life.
Thanks for giving us the words and an understandable structure to explain what we apparently are hard wired to already understand.
Read it - Buy it - Share it - but most importantly Play. Your Epic Success is hidden in one of these pages.
"Excellent way to learn about games"
Yes. It has some great information, statistics, and numbers on the effect of video games. Very informative.
No particular character in this book.
Very clear. So much so, that I could listen to this in 3x narration speed and understand everything.
The positive effect of games on our society.
"Absolutely Astonishing"
I found this audiobook to be incredibly creative, informative and inspiring. The premise is that games are designed to fulfill desires unaddressed by daily life. We can use the lessons learned through game application to 'fix reality.' The book is saturated with positive psychology research, personal habitual augmentation suggestions, forefront challenges to modern society and invigorating approaches to solution through gaming. It is extremely well written. This has been the most phenomenal audiobook I've listened to thus far.

Pure speculation. But a week out from training camp, here is one man's opinion on the best roster battles, bubbles and brouhahas as they head into that Sept.3 preseason finale in Indianapolis.
With training camp nine days away, readers are in a three-point stance looking to get the season snapped. A few morsels, ranging from Bengals greats then (the two Kennys) and now (A.J. Green).

New Amsterdam: Reclassified - VIDEO
by Paul Goebel, posted Apr 8th 2008 8:24AM
(S01E07) A show like New Amsterdam is bound to have a lot of unanswered questions. Luckily for us viewers, many of those questions get answered in each episode. For instance, in this episode we finally learned that Chris Bauer is the father of Buffy Summers.
Seriously though, it sure was nice to see familiar faces from two of my favorite shows of the past. I understand that Kristine Sutherland has taken a break from acting but I don't understand why we don't see more of Chris Bauer. I always thought his character on The Wire could easily have his own show.

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are edging mostly lower after United Parcel Service, General Electric and other companies issued disappointing earnings news or forecasts.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index was down two points, or 0.1 percent, to 1,844 in midday trading Friday.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose, but mainly because of big gains in just two of the 30 stocks in the average, American Express and Visa.
The Dow was up 45 points, or 0.3 percent, at 16,462 points. Without the gains from Amex and Visa, the Dow would be slightly lower.
Amex reported late Thursday that its income more than doubled in the fourth quarter. Its stock rose 5 percent Friday.
The Nasdaq composite slipped five points, or 0.1 percent, to 4,213.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
According to a recent report by the National Commission of Violence against Women in Indonesia, or Komnas Perempuan, authorities recorded 11,719 cases of domestic violence in 2013, which is up from 8,315 in 2012.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
3/31/2014 (1 year ago)
Published in Asia Pacific
Keywords: Indonesia, domestic violence reporting
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Komnas Perempuan, traditionally issues the annual report on violence against women to coincide with International Women's Day on March 8. Due to the restrictive nature of much of Indonesia society, it is feared that these figures are much greater.
"This increase [from 2012] indicates that women are more confident in speaking out," Komnas Perempuan commissioner Justina Rostiawati says.
No child need ever go to bed hungry -- go here!
"But it doesn't really mean that the previous year's cases were actually fewer because there might have been many victims who were unable to speak out."
Uli Arta Pangaribuan, a lawyer from the Legal Aid Foundation of the Indonesian Women's Association for Justice says that there are a number of psychological or economic reasons why women refuse to report their husbands to the police.
"Their husbands get mad if they do that. They also don't get much support from their families because reporting their cases means giving a bad name to their families."
Pangaribuan admits that reporting abuse claims or initiating divorce proceedings does not always deter additional violence. There are several factors to be considered in filing such claims.
"We give a choice to our clients," Pangaribuan said, adding that victims must consider not only their own safety but also the future of their children when they come forward.
The Legal Aid Foundation also operates a shelter for victims of domestic violence who have decided to press charges against their husbands or sue for divorce.
Like many Indonesians who go under a single name, Mudjiati, a deputy on the women's protection desk at the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection, says that the rise in the number of domestic violence cases could be linked to a growing understanding of legal mechanisms available to victims.
Since Indonesia passed the Elimination of Domestic Violence law in 2004, Mudjiati says that "society understands what domestic violence is . [and] there's progress in their understanding of human rights."
Much more needs to be done to protect women in Indonesia. "Society's awareness needs to be improved. Some people tend to think that domestic violence - when there's hitting - is just a family affair and must not be reported. In fact, it's a criminal offense."

"This is a medium of expression for me to show the world how beautiful nature is, especially in the Peruvian Andes. I know it so well -- my roots are there, and my work depicts our traditions, customs and landscapes.
"I lived in the sierra until I was four. During the time of terrorism, we had to escape. We left our animals, farms and houses.
"I learned my art at an NGO workshop in Pamplona Alta. I wasn't able to study past fifth semester of middle school, so I thank God for this workshop. They made beautiful things in arpillería, a traditional Andean appliqué art.
"The first time I made an oven mitt, it was enormous -- large enough for Manolo, the tallest man in Peru who measures seven feet nine inches. A friend told me I should make the gloves small enough to fit her, and so I learned each part of this art. I want to show a style of my own.
"I want to share Peru's beauty so that it is never forgotten. For me, this art is a way of sharing what I left in Ayacucho, the lovely land where I was born, where I ran and played in the fresh air. I wish so much we could have stayed.
"My greatest challenge has been to make a good life for my son, the struggle to raise him by myself."

Tom deSabla said he is running for president of the Charles County commissioners as well as the local Republican Central Committee in order to stand up for freedom.DeSabla, 53, of La Plata said the lack of economic growth in the county and the country are a result of excessive rules and regulations enacted by the local and federal governments. The rules and regulations make it more difficult for an individual to start a business.
"I want to try to stand up for freedom for the individual in this country that was founded on that," deSabla said.
The 2014 election will be the first time deSabla has run for political office. Charles County Commissioner Reuben B. Collins II (D) is currently his lone opponent in the race for board president. As a candidate, deSabla said he will he push for lower taxes, higher ethical standards and fewer business regulations.
Growth in the county's budget has outpaced growth in population, deSabla said. He is concerned that Charles County's tax rate is too high.
"We have the highest taxes of any county in the state," he said. "It's a fact, and that's amazing to me."
Charles County's current real property tax rate of $1.205 per $100 of assessed value is the highest of any county in the state, outstripped only by Baltimore city, which has a $2.248 rate, according to the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation.
"It could fairly be said we are the most mismanaged county in the state," deSabla said.
DeSabla also said the county practices "overzealous code enforcement" and referred to the controversy that embroiled a Waldorf meat processor for nearly a year beginning in spring 2012 as an example. County staff determined the business was operating outside of local zoning rules, but the Board of Special Appeals ultimately granted a special exception in February.
"That's a perfect example of what we have to stop doing," deSabla said.
He also wants the county to focus more on creating jobs rather than attracting outside businesses.
"I think we need to support organic business growth in this county, not lure big businesses from outside," he said. "You shouldn't have to offer special deals to outside businesses to get them to come here because that's not fair to the people that are already here. Relocating people is a zero sum game, because what you gain here, somebody else has to lose."
The government makes up a much larger percentage of the country's economy than it used to, he said, but does not turn a profit or have a savings account, so it is "not a proper and fit repository."
"We cannot have our entire economy be our government," deSabla said, adding that when the government fails, it just keeps going and claims that a lack of resources caused the failure.
If elected, deSabla said he will propose an immediate 10 percent pay cut for the Charles County commissioners.
"You have to lead by example," he said.
DeSabla moved from Montgomery County, where he grew up, to Charles County in 2009 with his wife, Christine, and her three children. He said he and his family wanted to be able to own more land than they could afford in Montgomery, and they were able to do so in Charles but also found other positive factors.
"We didn't realize how nice people are here. There were a lot of good things we didn't realize until we got [to Charles County]," deSabla said.
A stay-at-home dad currently in his second year home-schooling his two younger stepchildren, he is concerned about the budget for public education and relieving overcrowding in the county's school system.
His plan to reduce overcrowding involved providing scholarships to students at overcapacity schools that would allow parents to either home-school or send their child to another public or private school. For every student a school is over capacity, one scholarship would be provided, he said.
DeSabla has worked in different fields in his career, including construction, installing drywall and carpet and selling cemetery plots. He owned a small carpet business during the late 1980s and mid-1990s, he said.
"I've done a lot of things, and that's what gives me perspective," he said.
Along with his "diverse background," deSabla said he would bring "the perspective of an outsider" to county government.
"I think we need more citizen politicians than professional politicians, people who know what it's like when you get a letter from the code enforcement division and you've got to tear down what you've been working on," he said.
If he is not elected — the county does not have a single partisan office currently held by a Republican — he will still get involved in the community somehow, he said.
Collins A. Bailey of Waldorf also has filed for candidacy for the GOP Central Committee, according to the State Board of Elections website as of Thursday afternoon.
Nine seats are open on the committee.

Supreme Court to rule whether relatives of soldiers killed in battle can sue for human rights breach
- Seven-year struggle of mother of a 21-year-old soldier killed in Iraq reaches Supreme Court
- Sue Smith said Government should not treat soldiers as Action Men
Britain's highest court is to debate whether soldiers in battle have the right to life, has been claimed.
The Supreme Court will investigate circumstances surrounding the death of Private Phillip Hewett in Iraq in July 2005 and examine whether troops in war zones are covered by the part of the European Convention on Human Rights that protects the right to life, The Independent said.
Private Hewett's mother Sue Smith has fought for justice since the 21-year-old was blown up along with two colleagues from the Staffordshire Regiment in a roadside bomb attack on their armoured Snatch Land Rover.
Ongoing battle: Pte Hewett, one of the three soldiers from the Staffordshire regiment killed on patrol in Iraq. His mother, Sue Smith, has taken her case to the Supreme Court
In October the lower Court of Appeal ruled that relatives of soldiers who had been killed in action could pursue claims on grounds of negligence - but not make claims for damages under human rights legislation.
The judges accepted the Government's assertion that the battlefield was beyond the reach of litigation but the families' lawyers said the fight would go on and they would take the human rights battle to the Supreme Court.
Determined: Sue Smith, Pte Hewett's mother, said it was 'disgusting' that Iraqi citizens were afforded rights that British soldiers were not
Ms Smith, 51, of Tamworth, Staffordshire, said outside the court: 'It is just so dismissive. It 'doesn't matter'. They are Action Men. If you break them, just bury them. But they are not just
Action Men. People need to make a stand.'
Currently servicemen and women on bases in Afghanistan are covered by human-rights law, but this protection dissipates as soon as they walk out of the gates.
But, last year the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg ruled that Iraqi citizens killed when the UK was effectively the occupying force in southern Iraq were protected by the European convention.
Speaking to The Independent, Ms Smith's solicitor Jocelyn Cockburn, said the law protected Iraqi citizens better than British soldiers. 'It is anomalous that, as the law currently stands, soldiers are capable of bringing others within UK jurisdiction but they are not within it themselves.
'We afford Iraqi citizens rights of protection which we cannot even give to our own soldiers.'
She said she hoped the Strasbourg ruling would strengthen Ms Smith's argument before the Supreme Court which is believed to take place before seven judges in February.
Ms Smith, a community care worker,
has accused the Ministry of Defence of breaching its duty of care by
making British troops use the poorly protected Snatch vehicles in Iraq.
She told The Independent: 'Sometimes I feel the Government is in control of everything and that I am fighting a system that everybody works for. It is nice to know I might have a chance.
Sombre: soldiers carrying Pte Hewett's coffin after it was flown in to RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire
Attacked: (L-R) Second Lieutenant Richard Shearer and Pte Leon Spicer, also from the Staffordshire regiment, were killed alongside Pte Hewett in the roadside bomb attack
'I find it disgusting that we employ soldiers to defend our country and send them out without any human rights, yet we criticise other countries for not honouring their human rights.'
John Wadham, general counsel for the Equality and Human Rights Commission, told The Independent that the section of the ECHR in question, Article 2, did not offer absolute protection but simply placed a responsibility on the state to protect life in the context of the situation.

The Outdoor Channel has implemented a number of video capture and transcoding products from Telestream to improve its operational efficiency and reduce its reliance on videotape.
Telestream's Vantage was selected to automate critical, high-volume video transcoding and digital workflows across all departments, while the company's Pipeline product removes the need to move tape by capturing and encoding programming for cable VOD delivery, as well as archiving and dubbing content to Blu-ray media.
In the first week of Q4 2010, the Outdoor Channel saved 20 hours alone and eliminated manual processing when 48 shows were automatically processed using Telestream systems, according to both companies.
The Outdoor Channel upgraded from Telestream's FlipFactory to a pair of Vantage enterprise-class server software systems. Vantage transcodes files from the facility's Harris digital archive system to enable editing prior to reairing. It also transcodes files into Web/broadband formats for the website, and into formats required by the production department for international content delivery.
Further, Vantage and Pipeline integrate with the Outdoor Channel's master control system to enable real-time encoding and delivery of Cablelabs VOD format.
Pipeline provides faster video capture for programming that still arrives on tape and creates a digital file for quality control and closed-captioning purposes. For master control, Pipeline combines with Telestream's Episode Pro software running on Apple hardware to create dubs, log show information, and record HD content for playback by ad sales and marketing.

In the market for a 4K television? Better to wait it out
You may have been seduced by those electronics-store displays, but the future of Ultra HD television is not yet assured.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
They're big, they're shiny and they're new. You may have seen 4K Ultra HD TVs at your local electronics store, beckoning with dazzling video displays of exotic landscapes, and if the marketing hype is to believed, they are imminently set to dethrone HD's rule of our walls.
With prices starting at $2,700 for a 55-inch, the bright, high resolution TVs are within striking distance of quality HD sets.
The "K" in 4K is shorthand for thousands and is a rounding up of the number of pixels wide new UHD displays are, which is 3,840 compared to HD's 1,920. Which makes the pitch simple arithmetic: more pixels is better, right?
Well, maybe. But it seems that reality is a little more nuanced than the sales pitch.
To date, only Netflix and Sony have committed to produce 4K UHD content and there are no broadcasters in North America who have come on board. So far, there are no 4K Blu-ray discs, and the only Netflix content available in that resolution is House of Cards and a few nature documentaries, and your TV has to have a built-in decoder in order to stream them.
One would assume that with all the hype, it's probably just a matter of time before the market is flooded with 4K content, but that doesn't look too promising.
For one, almost every movie made before 2008 was shot on film, and for cost reasons, many studios scanned their films into a digital format at 2K resolution — literally half of 4K.
As for TV shows and movies made since 2008, most of those have not been filmed in 4K. In fact, every movie nominated for an Oscar this year was shot, finished and projected in a resolution less than 4K. Even Gravity, which won the Oscar for its groundbreaking visual effects, was shot in 2.8K and projected in theatres in 3D IMAX on 72-foot screens.
"There's a large debate within the Hollywood community," says Howard Lukk, the standards director for the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers. Lukk, who has been involved in developing television technical standards for the last 15 years, says Hollywood is lukewarm on 4K.
"Do you really need to go to 4K? I think most of that is being pushed by the manufacturers to sell these TV sets."
A lack of content isn't the only challenge facing 4K TV manufacturers.
According to Leichtman Research Group, 77 percent of U.S. households have at least one HDTV in their home, a percentage that has more than doubled in five years. How many will be eager to replace those new sets with even more expensive ones?
In spite of this, 4K evangelists will point out that even for regular HD content, a higher-resolution TV looks better because there are more pixels and they are more densely packed together. Surely for the home theatre buff with money and patience, a 4K TV is a big quality improvement, right?
Unfortunately science doesn't seem to support this conclusion.
"The human eye can only see so much detail," says Carlton Bale, a mechanical engineer who stirred a lot of passionate online debate with a recent blog post titled, "Does 4K Really Matter?"
"So you know, you look at the iPhone screen and it's very crisp when it's near your face. But then if you're seven or eight feet away, you can still pick out the icons, but you probably couldn't read the text," he said.
Bale's blog provided a calculator to determine how close one needs to be to a screen in order to fully resolve all its information. The result? You'd have to sit four feet or closer to a 60-inch UHD screen to resolve all its detail.
That's pretty close.
"The fact is that most people sit 10 to 12 feet back from their TVs," he says. "So when you're sitting that far away, that extra pixel density really doesn't make that much of a difference."
Howard Lukk says that there are also other variables that affect image quality.
"It's not just resolution that makes good images, there's also contrast and colour that go along with it," says Lukk.
Contrast is the difference between the darkest and brightest parts of an image. LCD and Plasma TVs have traditionally been poor at this, but there are steps afoot to improve it at Dolby studios, which have announced a new High Dynamic Range screen technology that could improve contrast alone by up to 100 times greater than current offerings.
As well, the 4K UHD technical standard, which is not yet complete, will greatly expand the number of colours a TV set can display, bringing it a bit closer to what we can see with our eyes.
With so much in flux, little content available, poor sales and better imaging technologies already on the horizon, is 4K UHD a good choice?
"It's really one of those decisions that you'll have to weigh out, whether you want to be a first adopter or wait a little bit and take advantage of better technology as it comes down the road," concludes Lukk.
"I think there's going to be a lot of change in TV sets in the next two years."
Curved screens, for starters.
For now, it seems, that old HDTV will continue to reign as king of the living room.
