The book examines what is meant by sex and gender-from typical gender roles and stereotypes, through those who transcend the usual categories of male and female. In addition to historical and factual information, teen voices and popular media's depictions of gender issues are included. Gender Identity: The Ultimate Teen Guide is written for all teens with an interest in gender-what it is, how it is expressed-especially those teens questioning their own (or a friend or family member's) gender identity. Straight (heterosexual) and LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning) youth, and the adults who live and work with them will want to read it, as well as educators, counselors, school board members, and parents.

Shoes: Bakers Wild Pair Mara Leopard Pumps - 5.5 / $40 (buy) (another style I was eying)
Nothing crazy for me this Halloween, unless you consider these leopard pumps crazy. I usually only try out more "adventurous" outfit choices on Fridays but since today was a day for costumery, I figured that nobody would even notice if I decided to sport a little leopard on the feet. :)
I kept the majority of my outfit neutral and simple, letting the accessories do all the talking. Not only are the leopard print pumps an eye-catcher, but let's not forget this color-blocked bag. With its soft supple leather and perfectly sized to wear both cross-body or as a clutch, I'm head over heels in love with it. The combination of both cognac and black colors actually make it versatile enough to match up with every outfit too!
And last but not least, how cool is this little cool necklace? With a combination of both big and small cubes made out of delicate gold plating, it's statement jewelry that's both bold and delicate at the same time. Just my style!
And how could I forget, today is also Color Brigade Day! The winner of last week's feature is Jane of Jane Squared rocking a green, coral, and plaid look. Who else is in love with her skirt? Totes need it in my closet!

Improvement in risk appetite has pushed the cross from 1.0340 to levels just shy of 1.0380, ahead of the RBA minutes to be published tomorrow. It is worth noting the central bank has left the repo rate unchanged at 3.25% in its last meeting, backed by better-than-expected domestic data and improvement in the Chinese prospects.
The cross is now up 0.20% at 1.0373
Next resistance levels are located at 1.0385 (MA10d) followed by 1.0420 (hourly high/lows Nov.14).
On the opposite direction, support levels lie at 1.0310 (hourly highs/lows Nov.16) followed by 1.0281 (Lower Bollinger) and 1.0255 (low Oct.24).

With Apple's latest iOS 6 firmware installment release, 6.0.2, which is exclusive to the iPhone 5 and iPad mini, they effectively fragmented iOS as a whole. While there have been iOS releases in the past specifically for certain iDevices, Apple typically releases another new firmware to unify the iOS platform. In the case of 6.0.2, seeing as the update only addresses an unnamed Wi-Fi bug, Apple likely issued this firmware ahead of iOS 6.1 to ensure that all users are able to successfully update to 6.1 using the OTA (over-the-air) update feature.
So, if that's the case, what about the release for 6.1? By tomorrow, January 1st, it will be three weeks since Apple pushed out the minor 6.0.2 patch. According to a recent tweet from Stefan Esser, a renowned hacker that's been instrumental in the development of numerous Jailbreaks, Apple will likely release either the next beta version of iOS 6.1 or seed the gold master (GM) edition by tomorrow.
Assuming Apple does indeed seed the GM version of 6.1, a public release will closely follow and take place shortly after the new year has begun.
Looking back to iOS 5.1, Apple issued the final pre-released beta on March 6th, with a public release directly following on March 8th. Looking back even further to iOS 4.1, it took Apple approximately one week from the time they seeded the GM edition of the firmware until a public release was made available.
Assuming Apple follows a similar schedule as years past and that Stefan Esser's theory is accurate, iOS 6.1 will be released within the first half of January, 2013. However, because Apple like's to remain silent between iOS updates, nothing is ironclad and Stefan Esser's theory remains just that: a theory.
Stay tuned for complete coverage on Apple, iOS 6 and upcoming firmware releases.

[sic] - your letters
Buffalo Beast paper may call this a misfortunate fertilizer accident.
It was about a half of a ton though, about 1,000 pounds of 'ammonium nitrate' which is a fertilizer that when mixed with fuel oil such as kerosene or nitro methane, like they use in cars or model airplanes. It can make a huge bomb. Four thousand pounds were used
by Timothy McVeigh in the Oklahoma City Federal bombing. McVeigh was a Pendalton, NY Iraq war Part One 1991 war hero himself. The David Korish incident in Waco, Texas drove him over the edge. I'm from the are and also a ten year military veteran. Not like that though. Killing
innocent civilians because you don't like the government or what happened to some radical moron in Waco was dead wrong. A shame. You can find out how to make these explosives on any website back then. Many now are gone, or being monitored by the FBI. You just can't go out anymore
and get ammonium nitrate either. Some site from China and the former Soviet Union/Russia will try and sell it to you. There will be an FBI agent at your door with the shipment believe me. Buffalo Beast Ruskies may know where this stuff comes from? An innocent act of trying to add
some nitrogen to make their garden more fertile? Your say comrad.
ex.US Navy veteran 1982-1992 Buffalo, NY disabled
Dear Naval Nutjob,
Since your last manic missive was over 2,500 words long, were glad you started this one up right in the middle. Were sorry we were so mean to you in our last reply; we didnt realize that your combat-derived disability was a mental one. In retrospect, we
really should have known. Seriously, though, we got rid of all our ammonium nitrate on e-bay a couple of years ago; some guy in the Basque section of Spain was starting up a farm or something. Now the only fertilizer in our office comes to us in the form of your pungent, loamy
e-mails. By the way, how come your letter in last weeks Artvoice was so much more coherent than what you send us?
Just wanted to write a quick email to say that your article on Gerry Goldhaber
was HILARIOUS!!! Glad to see not everybody is letting him off the hook!!
Keep up the good work!
Dear Nick,
Apparently, UB didnt let him off the hook either. Say goodnight, Goldy.
Hey Al Uthman,
I enjoyed reading your article on Buffalo. It reminds me of why I left.
Paul Nowosielski
Hey Paul,
We enjoyed reading your e-mail. It reminds us of why were glad you left.
los hermanos no pelean
I try to exercise on a regular basis. I will run, lift weights, and hit a punching bag. The bag, I must say is the best. You feel like Jimmy Wilde arms up moving and hitting. I hit it pretty hard. You can almost hear the sound reverberate across the gym. I move
again and hit hit move heart beat pounding slam. Slam. Slam. I then worry. Why am I hitting this leather sack? Mechanical aggression , mean spirited dark hearted. There are some guys playing basketball just twenty feet away. Perhaps a team sport may be more conducive to a more
sociable state of mind.
Then as I watch what team work does throughout the world. Was it teamwork under which those Rwanda militia men slaughtered thousands of men women and children? They used guns, machetes, and clubs to destroy murder people of a neighboring tribe. I saw the footage
on PBS (a BBC production of course, American TV is busy with "Reality" entertainment). I saw poor people strewn across village courtyards, churches, country roads. Reporters, Amnesty and Medical workers crying over the senseless loss of common folks. All in there
everyday clothes never having expected anything.
The Clinton Administration followed a path of non intervention in this matter. After I dont fucking know how long, he showed up in that country visited with a half dozen survivors and shook some hands. The official argument was that the US could not send our
Troops to a distant conflict that did not render a substantial benefit to our national interest. Kinda of why we never bombed those Polish Railroads that carried all them unter breed to their "relocation camps". In the end perhaps a million men women and yes children
were murdered in that little African country. Thats something like 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 and many many more.
Then you can go to Toronto and visit those cool Chinese markets where you may be offered a newspaper by a sweet little old lady that details the fucking endless inhumanity that silk blankets that mammoth of a nation. Thats going on to 1.3 billion people;
almost one out of five humans on earth live in that place. The paper reports incarceration, Torture, rape all at the hands of government officials.
I remember a stack of photos brought to me by one of my nicest students. She had the most graceful manners doubled by the keenest academic prowess . Her father had been sent to "Desert Storm" (Not the video game) the war to make Kuwait safe for
democracy. He was a cook I guess. Anyways, he was able to get out to the fields to get some snapshots of charred Iraqi soldiers unsuccessfully prying their way out of I dont know Russian? French? American? Tanks? The photos were so repulsive I almost didnt want to return
them. But I didnt fucking want them.
I love my hometown, Buffalo is a dandelion out in the left field, in the summer it smells like Alleghany dirt and weeds
Anyways I dont know if this makes any sense but Im going to keep hitting that bag hard. I dont give a shit if its anti social,
irrational, a manifestion of some deep-seeded paranoia Im going to move to the steady rhythm and jab bob and jab and Ill hit it hard like a drummer with a speed of hummingbirds wings. Its a modest defense.
Max Schmelling
Dear Max,
At least you can only kick our asses one at a time.
Dear Beast,
I have been a fan of your paper since I first picked it up. I share many of your views as it pertains to government and Buffalo in general. However one thing caught my eye that I feel needs to be defended. In your last issue, you had a picture of Henry Rollins
saying that he was a sell out and that the spoken word tour sucks ass. Now Rollins was doing hardcore with Blackflag before I was even born and I just started to follow him over the last four years or so, but I consider him a hero of sorts. I have read most of his books and gone
to see him whenever he is in town. He stands for many of the things you guys preach and spent about an hour bashing Bush's policies at his most recent engagement at the Tralf. He is well read and articulate in his message. As for him being a sellout, he is in his mid-forties and
I have a feeling his hardcore days are long behind him. So, he spends his time speaking to college kids, trying to get them motivated for life by giving examples from his life. One thing I found ironic was that in that same issue you ran an ad for Phatman on the FRONT PAGE. The
ad of course was announcing their new East Amherst location. (So all the hardcore, rough life East Amherst kids can buy the most expensive and therefore best skateboarding wares).Anyway, I'm not going to start hating your paper or anything, in fact this was one of the first
things I disagreed with. You dissed my boy and I thought I'd let you know.
Tom from Cheektavegas
Dear Tom,
Yes, Rollins was cool back in the day. For us, he was the third in punk rocks unholy trinity, along with John Lydon and Jello Biafra. Lifetime was a killer album, even better than some Black Flag records. But
now, Rollins sell Gap clothing and talks about how cool Madonna is on VH-1. He has been swallowed whole by the showbiz bullshit machine he once railed against, and we just cant let that slide. We understand that you discovered him only recently, but try to see this from an old
fans perspective: he was on VH-1. He was in a Gap ad. Fuck Rollins.
Regarding our accepting ad revenue, well, thats what we do, and we hardly think its comparable. After all, when you go to work and exchange eight hours a day for a paltry sum, is that selling out? No, thats life. Selling out is when you compromise your
principles for money that you dont need. We need that Phatman money (in fact, we need a hell of a lot more than that). Rollins would still be doing all right without his sellout cash, and hed retain a lot more credibility
in our eyes. No, hes not the worst guy in the world, but calling Britney Spears or Beyonce Knowles a sellout would be a little redundant, wouldnt it? Were calling out Henry specifically because we thought he was cool, and he disappointed us. Boo hoo.
In regards to your comeback,
Actually we do live in mommys basement; your mommys basement. Now go get us a beer, you little bitch. Its not our fault you hate yourself.
That's all you got! I'm embarrassed for you! I thought you would lay into me a little, but not that poorly. Obviously your shit is slipping!
Seriously, why is it so easy to laugh at Matt Taibbi? By any objective standard, Taibbi needs to lay off the glass and grass and stop dreaming he's a journalist of any standard. Even if he doubts his own greatness, it is clear Taibbi stands for making a complete
ass of himself, working for nothing, writing for a paper Buffalo could really do without and sleeping with stanky male bums. And as far as the Beast is concerned, it appears that everyone in Buffalo would rather you move back to China or somewhere. It's also easy to laugh at
Taibbi, just like dissing on Jayson Blaire and Jim Kelly (the USA Today reporter). I mean, Taibbi has paid his dues -- heck he's worked for the Beast! Taibbi and the Beast are about making complete fools of themselves, pissing off all the wrong people (potential advertisers) and
working their butts off for nothing -- and here's the best, I can't count the readers -- me and maybe Matt Taibbi . Heck Taibbi and the Beast are practically the worst weekly paper in the world. But they won't begrudge you for this, because they know this! Oh shit, I forgot the
worst bi-weekly! HA! HA! HA!
Hey Matt, does that look familiar? Yeah, it's your article on Jesus. Which I finished (at least somebody did, right?). But I had to ask myself -- What the fuck are you talking about? It took you two weeks to write that! Is your editor reading your work? Quit
jerking off and hit the keys a bit more bro -- everybody thinks you fucking suck.
Where's the ArtVoice when you need one! Oh yeah, I just called mom and I told her to let the gimp out of the basement. Keep it up boys (you're obviously not men), I'm coming back week after week.Oops! I mean after the next two weeks.
Bill from Columbus
Dear petty fuck,
First of all, you worthless bag of shit, Taibbi has been published in Playboy, Rolling Stone, The Nation, and many other well-known and respected publications. Its pretty clear that everyone does not think he sucks. Your incoherent, desperate ramblings have
been published where? Here, where everyone agrees that you do suck, a lot. Your thinly veiled homosexual infatuation with Matt worries us; we fear you may eventually hurt him, us, or yourself (actually, that last thing would be
ok). Your comment about Matts "fuckability rating" tips your limp-wristed hand just a bit too much, dont you think?
Secondly, what kind of useless asshole spends his time reading and then ineptly critiquing a paper he purports to despise, especially when he lives in a different state? In your last inarticulate, fragment-laden message, you said "Seriously, your work is
good. The writing readable." So which is it, you clearly unemployed loser? It seems like youre mad at us for being better writers than you could ever hope to be.
Aside from your obvious bitterness at Taibbis heterosexuality, the main thrust of your criticism seems to be that we piss off potential advertisers. In other words, we should only skewer the poor? Excuse our balls, you establishment-blowing mediocrity-lover.
Comparing us to the woefully tepid Artvoice only further indicates your love for the mundane. If you cant tolerate our integrity, thats not our problem. There are plenty of loyal BEAST-lovers to go around who read our paper almost as diligently as nothing-better-to-do
detractors such as yourself.
Yes, we come out every two weeks, just like your dad. So what? Yes, we are poor as fuck; so what? Were doing something that we think is worthwhile. What the hell are you doing, Bob, aside from constantly beating off to gay puke-porn, and then sobbing with
remorse? If you feel the need to continue manifesting your prodigious inferiority complex via e-mails to us, go ahead. Better yet, why not pop in for a visit? Perhaps your pissy mewlings will sound more interesting coming through the lint roller we plan to jam down your throat,
you chest-shaving sniveler. Fuck you.
I just read your article in issue #46 of the beast. All it sounded to me was like a fucking cry baby a typical clueless liberal who has nothing better to do than to bash the government. Who the fuck cares who goes duck hunting ? I wish I had friends in high
places that would offer the same. This is how the other half lives it seems to me that you are jealous. Would you rather have suddam in power? and bin laden killing more americans? If you liberals had your way and Gore was the prez. that is exactly what would be happening. So get
your head out of your ass and be thankfull that Bush is protecting all of us including you and your family you cry baby!!!!!!!
Don from Tonawanda
Dear Don,
With no due respect, we really dont think you actually read the article. If you had read and understood it, you would clearly be outraged to find that the people at the top are colluding in order to separate you from the freedom you pretend to love. Why do
assholes like you continue to defend the people who are obviously taking your money and power and giving it to their rich friends and themselves? Do you really think that our only choice is to refrain from criticizing our government or to support Bin Laden? You would have made an
excellent Nazi, Don from Tonawanda, and if enough Americans think like you, you may yet get your chance. Perhaps, if youre lucky, youll get a chance to throw rocks at Uthmans lifeless body as it swings from the flagpole in front of city hall. "Friends in high
places," indeed.
this is concerning your ashton kutcher interview in issue #41
duh, ur story was SO fake...ashton is not like that. he is not that airhead that u portrayed him to be. he did not say any of the stuff u said he did and it is a shame u would post such a FAKE story and try to portray it as real.
well, i am a huge ashton kutcher fan and i know ashton enough to know that he did not do that interview. so, i would appreciate it if you wouldnt lie and say he did say that stuff.
got it?
Mr. Kutcher responds:
While my interview was indeed out of character as to my genuine persona, I took it upon myself to be a little facetious, a tad tongue in cheek. One might argue that the media maelstrom that my existence has become was beginning to taint my lexicon with the
cynical bite of resentful sarcasm. I would not, nor could I, take issue with such an interpretation, for it would be entirely apposite. The masses, and The BEAST, expected a slack jawed stoner, not a cultured sophisticate such as myself, and who was I to disappoint? Still, I hope
that my ironic levity did not do to much disservice to my beloved community of warm supporters. The point is that the blame rests squarely upon my dreamy shoulders, not the rounded, slumped protrusions of The BEASTs godless staff.

So Sheldon says that you can get remarkably good shifting with a 6-speed Suntour Accushift shift lever combined with a Shimano 7-speed freewheel (or cassette, I assume) and Shimano derailleur, getting all 7 speeds by using the limit screw as the bottom- or top-end and the index-notches in the shifter for the other 6 gears. With modern chains and hyperglide teeth he wrote the shifting could be even better this way than with New 6-speed Suntour throughout the drivetrain.
Sounds great in theory, and it would solve a problem on a vintage bike o' mine, but I was hoping to hear stories of folks who have actually done this and been pleased with the results.
Care to share your stories?

Jefferson City holds off Fulton in Legion action
Thursday, June 23, 2011
The Jefferson City American Legion Post 5 Seniors weren't outstanding in any facet of the game Wednesday night. But they were good enough in all of them.
Jefferson City jumped out to an early four-run lead, then survived a shaky top of the ninth inning to hold off Fulton 7-6 at the American Legion Post 5 Sports Complex.
"We've got to play better," Jefferson City manager Billy Cannon said. "We didn't ....

Godzilla vs. Technology
How the radioactive monster explains all our modern environmental debates.
Opposition to nuclear power and industrial chemicals has been a core theme of modern environmentalism ever since, based on the same inspiration that brought Godzilla up from the depths: We need to protect nature from human-made technology. Those environmental values now also inspire opposition to genetically modified food, or fracking, or large-scale industrial agriculture—any modern technology that allows humans to manipulate and threaten the natural world, the benign true natural world that existed before humans came along and, with their technology, ended it, as Bill McKibben's The End of Nature suggests.
Of course, humans are a species too, not separate from but a part of the natural world, and like all species our interactions with the natural world have all sorts of impacts. True, the human intelligence that allowed us to master fire has meant that we have done far more harm than other species. But science and technology have also brought fantastic progress and offer great hope, including solutions for the mess technology helped us make in the first place.
Gojira itself raised precisely this conundrum, framing the modern conversation we're still having. As it ends, Tokyo is in ruins. Humans' most powerful weapons are useless. The monster has retreated to the depths, but no one is sure if or when it will rise again. The reclusive scientist Dr. Serizawa and our hero, Hideto Ogata, are on a boat heading out to find and destroy him.
Serizawa has finally admitted to Ogata what the film has hinted at: He has a weapon that can kill Godzilla, a technological device, which, dropped into water, sucks all the oxygen out of it. He has kept it a secret until now because "if the oxygen destroyer is used even once, politicians from around the world will see it. Of course, they'll want to use it as a weapon. Bombs versus bombs, missiles versus missiles, and now a new superweapon to throw upon us all! As a scientist—no, as a human being—I can't allow that to happen! Am I right?"
Ogata replies, "Then what do we do about the horror before us now? Should we just let it happen? If anyone can save us now, Serizawa, you're the only one!"
Serizawa grabs the device and jumps into the sea, killing Godzilla and sacrificing himself but saving mankind … by using a technological weapon more powerful that the atomic bombs that woke the monster from his prehistoric sleep in the first place.
Geoengineering may be able to help combat climate change. Genetically modified food may help feed a global population soon to approach 10 billion. Safer forms of nuclear energy may power population growth cleanly. Are these technological solutions to some of the damage humans have done to ourselves and the natural world, or are they just versions of Castle Bravo and the Oxygen Destroyer, escalations of a self-destructive technological death spiral? Are those who oppose these technologies just modern Godzillas, rising up like mindless angry monsters willing to cause massive suffering and destruction to defend nature?
These are the questions Castle Bravo and Gojira asked. We are still fighting over the answers.

Release Date: August 9, 2011
|Innovative Sensors and Controls to Support Efficient Operation of State-of-the-Art Power Plants
R&D Projects Focused on Computational Techniques, "Smart" Materials, Advanced Sensors
Washington, D.C.—The Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy (FE) has selected three projects to develop novel sensing and control technologies aimed at the efficient operation of advanced, zero-emission power systems and the improvement of operations at existing fossil energy power plants. The total value of the projects is approximately $4.9 million, with $3.9 million of DOE funding and $1 million in recipients' cost-sharing.
The projects will help FE's Advanced Research Program lead the effort to develop sensing and control technologies for seamless, integrated, intelligent power systems that use domestic resources.
Progress in the areas of advanced combustion, gasification, turbines, gas cleaning and separation technologies and carbon capture have brought challenges to the Advanced Research Program's sensors and controls area. Harsh environments where temperature and pressure conditions are extreme and process conditions are highly reactive and corrosive are inherent to new systems that aim to achieve high efficiency with low emissions. Additionally, these systems are complex, with operational constraints and system integration challenges that push the limits of traditional process controls. New, robust sensing approaches, including durable materials and highly automated process controls, are needed to optimize the operation and performance of these advanced systems.
One of the selected projects will focus on the development of computational techniques that can interface with multiple sensors and nodes to transform data into information and enable cognitive-type computation at the network level. The remaining two bench-scale efforts will develop embedded sensors and "smart" materials that can be applied to power systems to enable real-time, online assessment of a system or component.
The projects will be managed by FE's National Energy Technology Laboratory.
Descriptions of the projects follow.

Defination It is external preparation meant for applying on external parts of the body i.e. nails,skin,hairs for coloring, 2 2 covering, softening, cleaning, Nourishing ,waving ,setting, preservation,removal and protection. 2 Other way of defining cosmetic is : Other way of defining cosmetic is "it is item intended to be rubbed, poured, sprinkled , introduced in to, otherwise applied to the human body or part thereof for cleaning, beautifying, promoting attractiveness or altering the appearance". 3Type of cosmetics: Type of cosmetics Eye cosmetic Other cosmetic Hair cosmetic Teeth cosmetic Nail lacquer and polish Skin cosmetic Analysis 4Analysis of cosmetics includes: Analysis of cosmetics includes Physical analysis of cosmetics Microbiological analysis of cosmetics Chemical analysis of cosmetics 5 1) Physical analysis of cosmetics: SKIN COSMETICS Skin Cream Hand or Body Sunscreen Face Powders Special a)Make up cream lotion cream -Vanishing a)Hand cleanser a)Anti-acne - Foundation b)Hand lotion b)skin tonic b)Cold cream c)anti-ageing c)Moisturizer d)For men d)Night cream e)Protective cream f)All purpose g)Cleansing cream Evaluation of Skin Cosmetics : General Sensitivity test : For Primary potential irritants Draize's test use. In this test Albino rabbits are clipped and substance to be tested is applied to , - Intact skin, - Abrased Skin - Lightly scarified skin All of them are covered with a patch for 24 hours and changes are assessed. BIS 411:1997 suggests that if there is no reaction in any of the animals, the same test should be performed on 10 Humans volunteers applying the substances on the skin of forearm. As per IS, this test can be carried out on 10 lab. Animals either guinea pig or rabbits. Cosmetic is applied on 2 cm sq.( for better exposure, area for test is shaved). 1) Physical analysis of cosmetics 6Slide 7: PATCH TEST : It has two purposes Diagnostic : To discover whether the cosmetic used has caused dermatitis. b) Prophetic : To assess whether a new cosmetic should be placed on market or not. GENERAL PROCEDURE : 0.1 to 0.3 gm of cosmetic to be tested is applied on a piece of cotton fabric, size 2-3 cm sq. and apply this to skin of arms, thigh or back. This patch is covered with a patch of cellophane abt 5 cm sq. and sealed with adhesive plaster about 40 cm sq. Allow to remain on skin for 24-72 hours. Sites of patched are examined after 30 minutes of removal of patch by an experienced dermatologist.(observation can be done earlier but before NLT 15 min) 7Slide 8: Observations : And their grade No Reaction ------ Erythema only + Erythema with papules ++ Papilovascular +++ Ulceration or necrosis ++++ If no reaction, subjects should be observed for 3 to 5 days to ascertain any late reaction. Its advisable to find out whether material causes photo sensitization. If there is reaction, further test are necessary to find out which ingredient is responsible for reaction. If no reaction……same reapplied to same place or fresh patch may be applied…….its continued till, Either a reaction is produced under one or more patches Or investigator is confirmed that no reaction will occur. 8Slide 9: Open Patch Test : - cosmetics with higher % of potential irritants like hair dyes, shampoos, hair tonics, patches should not be sealed. - Performed on sensitive part of skin, bend of elbow, skin behind ears. - Applied on 1 sq m. - Control standard patches - Inspection after 24 hours. b ) Prophetic Patch test : Before it, investigator should perform test on him self to ascertain the material is not primary irritant. It performed on 10 humans, - If favorable results, for full scale , 200 normal subjects are used. Subjects are observed for a days. After 7-10 days, reapplied on, who didn't show reaction If no reaction……or one or two of 200…….New product can be placed on trial sale. BIS 4011:1982….Method for dermatological test For cosmetics recommends that initial test should be done on 50volunteers. If any shows positive reaction, number of volunteers is increased to 200. 9Slide 10: 2) Repeated Insult Test The prophetic patch test has certain shortcomings, to name Quick absorption of potential skin irritant through skin Rapid evaporation of volatile skin irritant from patch small amount of cosmetic in patch in comparison to large amount in actual use Small area of skin used. Short exposure of skin to cosmetic than the exposure actual in use. So, Draize described …Repeated Insult Test involves applying of the same concentration as is found in finished formulation incorporated in a bland base. Bland base is selected acc. To nature & solubility of the test substance. . 10 3) Photo patch Test : 3) Photo patch Test certain substances are not harmful by themselves but they become harmful when exposed to sunlight.. Substances that absorb light in between 300-308 nm have potential of photo toxicity.. So when a substance is considered phototoxic, this test may be performed. Same as standard patch test, duplicate patches are applied and after 24 hrs one of the patches in pair is exposed to sunlight for 30 minutes & covered again. 11Slide 12: 4) Provocative Patch Test : Test for sensitizing potential With first exposure, generally weak sensitizing agent don't sensitize a person but repeated exposure may make a person hypersensitive. This can be indicated by this test. Its performed as standard procedure, 10-15 application on alternate days on same spot of skin in 10 volunteers. Indian standards says in case of unknown chemicals, test should be first performed on animals like guinea pig or rabbits. 12 SKIN CREAM: SKIN CREAM Evaluation of Moisturizing efficiency. In vitro testing or laboratory assessment: Investigators have attempted to define the mechanism of water binding in the stratum corneum . Influence of temperature and humidity on the epidermis . They have attempted to develop instrumental means of assessing degree of moisture in skin and quantitating the hydration effects of moisturizers through changes in mechanical properties of stratum corneum . Extensibility measurements Measurements of Tensile properties of excised stratum corneum : Using a Tensile Strength Tester along with samples of stratum corneum from variety of sources. b) Study of viscoelastic behavior of skin Hargon's Gas Bearing Electro Dynamometer (GBE). 13Slide 14: c)Occlusive Potential can be determined using Water Diffusion Rate cell or chamber. The membrane used for this purpose could be a neonatal rat stratum corneum or an artificial membrane. d)Gravimetric Analytical Method is used to establish relationship between relative humidity and stratum corneum water content. Utilizing this technique, the water sorption/desorption characteristics of test corneum membrane can be determined before and after treatments e) Thermal analytical techniques like DSC,TGA are used to provide information on the significance of temperature induced phase changes occurring in stratum corneum. 142) In Vivo assessment: 2) In Vivo assessment To study hydration or moisturisation of skin ; a) Transpirometry i.e. measurement of Trans Epidermal Water Loss(TEWL) - Stream of air or nitrogen of known relative humidity is introduced into a collection chamber attached to skin surface. - Water vapors leaving skin surface and entering the collection chamber is carried by gas to suitable detection device. - Various techniques like Dew Point Hygrometry, Thermal conductivity, GC etc. have been used for water detection. Topographical examinations - Scanning Electron Microscopy - A silicon rubber impression of the skin is made by melting polyethylene beads over the surface of the negative impression. The positive is then metallized to prevent charging in SEM. Dermatoscopy all creams are evaluated for types of emulsion, uniformity of color, smoothness, texture, consistency as per their intended use. 15Slide 16: SUNSCREEN PRODUCTS Post sweating SPF determined 1. 1000-4000 A° Ultraviolet zone. - 2200-3200 A° Therapeutic UV Zone i.e. Vitamin D & anti rachitic vitamin are found. - 2500-3020 A° close to rays that cause sunburn - 2800-3100 A° cause sunburn and are screen out with sunscreen products. (UVB) so the longer rays of 3000-3200 cause reddening of skin or erythema , Tan producing rays. Sunscreen may be Preventive i.e . sunburn prevention by shading of body surface simulatory & therapeutic i.e. use of chemicals that screen out certain rays of sun 16Slide 17: Evaluation of Sunscreen products Sun Protection Factor :: work of R.Schulze who defined a "Light Protection Factor" or "Protective Index" PI SPF is defined as the ratio between the time needed to achieve erythema on protected skin divided by the time needed to get it on unprotected skin. Three methods a) Human Methods b) FDA Method c) Animal Method Determination of Sweating Resistance . Minimum erythema Dose & SPF is determined. After applicaton of sample, subjects are exposed to an 35 to 38°C & 70-8- % RH. Product Category Designation (PCD) As per FDA : Minimal SPF 2 to 4 Moderate 4 to 6 Extra 6 to 8 Maximal 8 to 15 Ultra More than 15 2) Kumler's Sunscreen Index. He proposed to compute E 1% 0.1 cm at 3080 A° to obtain SI . 17. . SUNSCREEN PRODUCTS………………………: . . SUNSCREEN PRODUCTS……………………… - This index can be used to calculate the % of a compound which should be incorporated to screen out a certain percentage of sunrays that cause sunburn. X = 8 /S.I. 3) Diluted Solution Transmittance Method.(DSTM) Can be used for preliminary assessment of sunscreens. Thin Film Transmittance Method. - Slightly better than DSTM Thin film of sample is applied to quartz plate. Transmittance spectrum of plate is analyzed. Removed Epidermis Transmittance Method. It shows good correspondence to SPF . A portion of epidermis is removed from mouse and sample is applied. Then exposed to UV light and transmitted light is measured to assess degree of protection. 18FACE POWDERS: FACE POWDERS Face powder may be either of loose fine powder or compact . Evaluation: 1 ) Fineness of Powder -Sieving method , -Microscopic Method -Air separation technique. As per IS 3959-2004,Residue on 75 μ sieve should be NMT 2 % & 0n 150 μ NMT 0.5 %. 2) Apparent Density Shade & Uniformity of shade - Comparison with standard shade kept for this purpose. - Commonly std and sample both are placed between two glass plates and compared Observed in natural light. Odor - No physical measure for odor. Pressure applied on compact powder : by penetro meter, Breaking point . Cake is dropped on wooden (8-10 in) or thick rubber mat (6 feet), Matter insooluble in water : Boil 1 gm. with 200ml,filter, dry residue & find out. Moisture & volatile matter : By drying powder at 105°C to constant weight. pH of aqueous solution : By making suspension in water of 10 % or filtrate may be used. 19Slide 20: Dispersion Analyzer- Instruments Figure :Pay off 10) Pay-off : the pay-off character, i.e. adhesion with the puff of compact or pressed powder should be tested on the skin 20SPECIAL CREAMS: SPECIAL CREAMS Includes a) Anti acne b) Skin tonics c) Anti ageing d) Cosmetic for Men. Anti Acne : Acne is varied group of diseases from teenage to cystic acne commonly due to P. acnes which are quite susceptible to antimicrobial agents. Salicylic acid, sulfur, benzoyl peroxide is widely preferred. Evaluation : Particle size of anti acne compound greasiness Antimicrobial efficacy. b) Skin tonic : used as Skin healing, promotion of tissue growth, Refreshing sensation. Assay of active and label claimed ingredients. c) Anti-ageing : d) Cosmetic for Men : There is physiological differences between male & female. Cosmetics for male includes shave preparations, sunscreens, fairness cream, etc. 21Slide 22: Lipsticks 1) Melting point : Determination of melting point is important as it is an indication of the limit of safe storage. Determined by capillary tube method the capillary was filled, keep in the capillary apparatus and firstly observed the product was slowly-slowly melted. After sometimes was observed the product was completely melted. The above procedure was done in 3 times and the melting point ratio was observed in different-different formulation. Ring & Ball Method: Ring is taken & the lipstick to be tested is inserted into it. Extra mass above & below the orifice is removed using a sharp blade leaving a tablet. Keep in a refrigerator (6°C) for about 10 minutes after which this ring is fastened onto a stand. A beaker containing 500 ml water at room temperature is placed on a hot plate having a magnetic stirrer. Steel ball is delicately placed on a lipstick tablet, the bar with support is then slowly inserted into beaker till it submerges into it. Heat & agitate. One Other Method : Whole lipstick along its stand is kept in a long flat bottom tube of approximately 10-12 cm length & 2.5-3.0 cm. 22Slide 23: Care should be taken that lipstick is in a protruded position & the bulb of thermometer just touched the lipstick mass. Place this set up in a one liter beaker filled with water to a level a cm above the upper up of protruding lipstick. 2) Softening point : it gives indication whether lipsticks will able to withstand variation in climate or not. 3) Color Match IS 9875 : 1990 also prescribe tests like - Pay off Test - Particle Size determination of undispersed pigments. - Test for Heavy metals IS 10284 : 1982 prescribed specification for LIPSALVES, - Determination of Melting Range. - Determination of consistency - Test for Rancidity, stability, Arsenic & heavy metals. - Stability studies are performed at Refrigerator temperature (4°C), Room T (15-20) And high summer 30-40. - Parameters : Bleeding, Streaking, Cratering, And blooming. 4) Solubility test: The formulation herbal lipstick was dissolved in various solvents to observe the solubility. 23Slide 24: 5) Breaking point : Breaking point is done to determine the strength of lipstick. The lipstick is held horizontally in a socket ½ inch away from the edge of support. The weight is gradually increased by a specific value (10 gm) at specific interval of 30 second and weight at which breaks is considered as the breaking point. 6) Skin irritation test : It is carried out by applying product on the skin for 10 min. 7) Aging stability : The product is stored at 40˚ c and periodical observation of oil bleed, crystallization of wax on surface, and application characteristics is made. 8) Perfume stability: The formulation herbal lipstick was tested after 30 days, to record the fragrance Some raw materials have the ability to make fragrances adhere to the skin longer before the fragrance is volatilized. This capability is measured using a gas chromatography 9) Oxidative stability : it is predicted by determination of peroxide value after exposure to oxygen under given conditions. Melted lipstick 24Slide 25: 10) Thixotrophy character : It is indication of thyrotrophic quality and is done by using penetrometer. A standard needle of specific diameter is allowed to penetrate for 5 seconds under a 50 gm load at 25˚C. The depth of penetration is a measurement of the thixotropic structure of lipstick. Figure : Microprocessor-Based Digital Penetrometer from Koehler 11) Force of application: It is test for comparative measurement of the force to be applied for application. A piece of coarse brown paper can be kept on a shadow graph balance and lipstick can be applied at 45˚ angle to cover a 1 sq. inch area until fully covered. The pressure reading is an indication of force of application. 12) Surface anomalies: This is studied by the surface defects, such as no formation crystals on surfaces, no contamination by moulds, fungi etc. 25Eye Cosmetics: Eye Cosmetics a) Eye Liner & eye pencils Eye liner should be applied in a thin line Should not form cake Water Resistant b) Mascara : To accentuate the eyelashes and make them more visible, more pronounced. Texture Good drying qualities shiny c) Eye Shadows d) False Eyelashes 26Nail lacquers and removers: Nail lacquers and removers Non-volatile content : this can be done by taking defining amount of lacquers and applying on plate of flat surface. Weight of the residual film after evaporation of solvent will indicate the non volatile content. The indian standards (IS :9245-1994)prescribes a minimum limit of 20% by mass. 2) Hardness : after application of the film on a flat surface the hardness is measured by applying pressure mechanically. Water resistance : this is the measurement of the resistance towards water permeability of the film. This is done by applying a continuous film on a surface and immersing it in water. The weights before and after immersion are noted and increase in weight is calculated higher the increases in weight lower the water resistance. Viscosity : this is also an important character and can be measured by viscometer. Figure : Brookfield viscometer 27Slide 28: 5 ) Smoothness : the film is applied on surface and surface characteristics of film studied microscopically. Drying rate : this can be done by taking the product on a flat surface and touching the product with tip of finger at short interval of time. Time taken for disappearance of tackiness is noted. The Indian standards for nail lacquer (IS: 9245-2994) prescribes maximum drying time of 6 minute. 7) Application : For evaluation of these properties nail enamel is applied to nail & attention is paid to the following. flow even ness of application drag on brush formation of air bubble in the film 8) Abrasive resistance Trabe abrader it consists of turn table carrying a coated panel on which dual wheels of specified abrasiveness act. when tested with apparatus, the loss of weight of coating is in specified no of revolution is taken as measure of resistance to abrasion 28Shampoo: Shampoo 1 ) Foaming ability and foam stability : Cylinder shake method was used for determining foaming ability. 50 ml of the 1% shampoo solution was put into a 250 ml graduated cylinder and covered the cylinder with hand and shaken for 10 times. The total volumes of the foam contents after 1 minute shaking were recorded. The foam volume was calculated only. Immediately after shaking the volume of foam at 1 minute intervals for 4 minutes were recorded. Figure : Ross-miles foam column 29Slide 30: 2) Viscosity : this is also an important character and can be measured by viscometer 3) Effect on hair : this can be studied by half-head technique. In which half of the hair is shampooed and the other half is used as control Effect on skin and eyes : this can be measured by applying it on animals pH : the pH of shampoo can be measured by pH meter and it should be between 6.0-9.0 6 ) Stability studies : The thermal stability of formulations was studied by placing in glass tubes and they were placed in a humidity chamber at 45°C and 75% relative humidity. Their appearance and physical stability were inspected for a period of 3 months at interval of one month. 30Slide 31: Cleansing action : it can be tested on wool yarn in grease For this method place 5 gm of wool yarn in grease in 200 ml of water containing 1 gm of shampoo in a flask, shake the flask for 4 minute at rate of 50 times a minute. Remove the solution and take out the sample. Dry it and weigh it. The loss in weight will indicate the amount of grease removed which is the cleansing action of shampoo. Fig :Hair before cleansing Fig: Hair after cleansing 31Tooth paste &tooth powders: Tooth paste &tooth powders Particle size : this can be determined by microscopic study of the particles or by other means. Abrasiveness : the teeth are mechanically brushed with paste or powders using tooth brush. The effect are studied by observation, mechanical (measurement with micrometer gauge sensitive to 0.001 inch ) or other means (radioactive tracer techniques). The pH of the aqueous solution : the pH of dispersion of 10% of the product in water is determined by pH meter. Consistency : it is important that the product, paste, should maintain the consistency to enable the product press out from the container study of viscosity is essential for this. Rheology of powder is also important for proper flow of the powders from the container. Volatile matters and moisture : a specific amount of product is taken in a dish and drying is done till constant weight. Loss of weight will indicate amount of moisture present in product. 32 Other Cosmetics: Other Cosmetics 1) Depilatories It can be truly categorized as a cosmetic ,since it beautifies by removing un slightly hair from certain parts of the body. Evaluation a) tensile kinetic method Stress decay caused by disulfide bond is measured using commercial instrument such as Tensile strength tester An optical diameter Electro balance the time required to reduce the stress supported by hair by 95% was shown to in vivo hair removal rate in commercial products. 33Slide 34: b) HPLC method this method can distinguish between thioglcerol,thiolactic acid thiol glycolic acid. the S-H group is coupled to 7 choloro-4nitro benzo-2oxo-1,diazole which result in yellow derivative permitting HPLC detection at 464 nm. C) Thermo-mechanical method In this method thermo-mechanical analyzer is used to measure the time at which ,a hair bundle under constant stress & immersed in deplatory,begin to stretch. the analyzer is programmed to observe the stretching & breaking of hair bundle, attached to fiber tension probe accessory. TLC &GLC METHODS are to identify & approximately estimate the amount of active ingredient present. 34 2) Antiperspirant & Deodorant : 2) Antiperspirant & Deodorant Antiperspirant it is therapeutic agent that actively reduce the amount of perspiration. Evaluation (a) Gravimetric method sweat collection is carried out in controlled temperature rooms at 100 ±2 ° F and about 35%RH.. sweat collection are made during two successive half an hour period using tared absorbent pads. A ratio sweat produced by right & left axillae is determined in controlled condition. the effect of antiperspirant material on the perspiration ratio of each individual is determined by comparing the post treatment ratio with the subject average control ratio. reduction in sweat rate (%) = post treatment ratio × 100 average control ratio (b) Hygrometry In this method cup is attached to the skin & water from the enclosed area is evaporated by stream of dry gas. water content of this gas is monitored & sweat rate is calculated. 35C o n t i n u e d . . . .Other cosmetics…….: C o n t i n u e d . . . .Other cosmetics…….

Is 2% milk ok for my 5month old instead of formula?
Im a first time mom and im going to school and lookin for work. my breast milk supply is low and hasn't changed since he was born. he's now wantin more and i cant provide it. I've asked my doctors about either skim, powdered, non-fat or 2% milk instead of formula and cant get a strait answer. just wondering if anyone has tried or knows anything. i know about formula but would rather do this instead.

No, absolutely not. If you're having supply issues, then you need to use formula. When you say "your doctors" do you mean your ob or the baby's pediatrician? I find it hard to believe any pediatrician worth his/her degree wouldn't be able to give you a straight answer on what to provide for your baby. Milk should not be given until baby is a year old and then it should be whole milk, not 2% or skim. They need the extra fat in whole milk for brain development. If you're having money issues, check into WIC, it will provide you with formula. If you don't qualify, use store brand formula, it's cheaper than name brand and just as good.posted 04/09/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
no - cows milk can actually be dangerous for infants under about age 1. they are not able to properly digest the protiens so it can damage thier liver/kidneys.posted 04/08/2011 by akj_25

Drought that has affected Nebraska's bodies of water for more than five years is forcing many recreational interests to make some adjustments.
At Harlan County Lake near Republican City, marinas and the Army Corp of Engineers are trying to make do.
Corp official Jim Brown says boating is going to be impacted. He explains that at normal pool level Harlan County usually has six boat ramps, right now, they only have one.
The corp now is dredging to have another ramp in place at Patterson Harbor by Memorial Day. That will help get the boats out in water that is already 20 feet lower than normal.
Patterson Harbor co-owner Leonard Wasserman says the lake is low but not hazardous. He says rain would be great but there still is seven-thousand-acres of water in which to fish and boat.
He says the lake marinas are telling people not to be discouraged but to tell people to come and enjoy boating, fish and jet skiing.
Brown says there is also more shoreline for All Terrain Vehicles.

Metabolic or nervous system disorder/causes feeding difficulty?
My daughter has always been a poor eater, takes an ounce every 3 hours then is done. She is tube fed now. Her last blood work showed high pyruvic acid and lactic acid...we have not gotten back the organic acid profile or the acylcarnitine and amino acid profiles yet. The doctors said if these were high she could have metabolism issues...Anyone have experience with this. Emma had milk allergies and minor reflux which is why we thought she wouldn't eat, but she has been on Neocate for 3 months and is eating no better. Thanks-concerned mom!

silver arowana and a gar
i have a 8 inch gar and this week i brought a silver arowana which is also 8 inches. do you think they are compatiable.
I would say yes but only conditionally. Meaning you need to spend alot of time making sure they do not have to compete for food, territory or anything else.
I would say that the minimum size tank with them both being 8 inches for them to get along and not fight or kill each other would be 125 gallons. An oscar needs at least 55 and the Gar probably even more. Some tall sturdy plants might help even if they are plastic or better yet silk so they will withstand some of the abuse that both fish may inflict on them.
You will need to feed them individually and make sure that they come to recognize prepared food as their staple diet and not live food because they will likely fight over live food especially with as messy as both can be they could easily inflict massive wounds trying to take food out of the others ones mouth.
I don't envy the task but I believe it can be done. Other will disagree. The only thing I can see that will make this extremely difficult is the fact they are so large already. If they started out together at a much smaller size it could have been much easier.
ok thanks, i hope it works as they are both beautiful fish

Jets Links October 16th, 2011
OK that was really ugly. The worst part is a I watched the Coyote's feed and had to listen to their announcers gloating for the entire 3rd period. Listen, we all knew were weren't getting the 1980's Oilers, but I still thought this team had potential (and still do). I'm not sure if its the players or the coaching, but something has to give.
Jets lose to the Jets or Coyotes just depends on how you look at it. A ton of Winnipeggers head to the desert for the game. Antropov's sad penalty shot and Cormier wants a chance. These and more stories on a Sunday edition of the links.
The Coyotes dominated the Jets in a 4-1 win. [Washington Post]
It was a disappointing game against the Coyotes as the Jets seemed to regress even further. [Winnipeg Free Press]
It's pretty obvious that the main issue with this team is defense. Last night it was Big Buffs turn to be the bad D-man of the night. [Winnipeg Free Press]
2500 Jets fans made the trek to the Desert to see Jets 2.0 take on Jets 1.0 [Winnipeg Free Press]
The Jets fan in attendance were loud and made themselves heard. [Winnipeg Sun]
Yes, the offense has struggled, but I still think the D is the main issue. [National Post]
Coyote bloggers are loving Winnipeg's struggles. That's OK; they'll be in Quebec City next season anyway. [Five for Howling]
This wasn't the start we had hoped for, yet its still better than not having NHL hockey. [Winnipeg Sun]
Watching Antropov take that penalty shot was painful. [Winnipeg Free Press]
I say give Cormier a chance. Can't be any worse then we have playing right now. [Telegram]

« La lettre de mon Moulins »
Bonjour ! I'm Moulins le baudet Bourbonnais!!!! Voici ma lettre du jour :
A few days ago people were celebrating a traditional and religious feast «La Toussaint » as well as the celebration of the WWI end on the 11th of November….
Why talking about both celebrations? Because last week as I was visiting some of my ancestor's graves and I noticed that there's now two different cemeteries in one! I explain, one part of the cemetery was clean, new and full of flowers offered by the living to their loving ones but, right near to the church, in the old part of the cemetery, tombs were clean as well but dark, old, crawling and above all no one had displayed flowers on those people graves, buried for more than one century for some of them…..
I found that image of those two separated cemeteries really sad. I say separated, not by distance but by the time that passed and made us forget about uncles, cousins, grannies, mothers and fathers that where here on earth, loving and caring but for which now no one is no longer here to take good care of…..
I think that they are probably now in the new part of the cemetery!!!
I find those old family vault majestuous, they should do something in order to restaure them. As they do for monuments...
I saw in those cemeteries tombs with the French flag on them….That flag was put on the grave to thank those young who died during the First World War…..
Flowers once a year for them is a bit frugal and disrespectful….
Ps: this church and cemetety are located in small village in Allier but you can find churches, cathedral to visit in every single village or town here in Alier!

Foam Magazine Talent Issue Launch at Unseen
8 May 2012 Foam Magazine Foam Talent Foam Vandejong
As you might have noticed from our recent news posts, things are going well at Unseen on the 'fair' side of things. Our list of participating galleries at the inaugural edition of Unseen is increasing and we are excited to feature these galleries in our twice-weekly gallery spotlights. What about the 'festival' side of things? The accompanying programme of events, tours, film screenings and exhibitions is in the works, and so far highlights include the Unseen Collection (a selection of works for a lower price to attract first-time buyers), the Offprint Book Fair (a fair of independent photography book publishers) and the launch of Foam Magazine's Talent issue.
Foam Magazine is an international photography magazine published quarterly, co-produced by Foam Amsterdam and branding agency Vandejong. Each year, Foam Magazine dedicates its fall issue to 15 selected young talents. A 'young talent' has been defined as "someone of a young age (18-35 years old) who has outstanding skills or abilities [and who may] indicate developments, trends and themes that are of importance to a new generation of artists."
Both Unseen and Foam Magazine, especially the Talent issue, embrace exciting and emerging developments in the world of contemporary photography. The launch of this year's Foam Magazine Talent issue will actually take place at Unseen, and will include a large billboard exhibition in the surrounding Westerpark.
Are you a young talent and interested in being featured in Foam Magazine? You have until 16 April to submit to Foam Talent Call 2012. Find out more about submission requirements and additional information requested.
