First, I'd like to thank Jenn at Your Growing Tree for the idea of Future Friday. The idea is to get us thinking about helping future generations to know *us*. I've taken some time to evaluate all of my current genealogical "goodies" and have picked one particular area of focus: family stories and biographies.
More and more, genealogy-related documents and transcriptions are making their way online. Twenty years from now, finding facts about individuals in our family trees will probably be easier than ever. But finding personal information about these people – likes, dislikes, habits, hobbies, personality traits, life experiences, etc. – will be equally as hard without someone recording this information now. To address this in my own family, I have set a few of goals for 2011:
1) Take the time to jot down a few notes about my more "recent" ancestors, those whom I knew personally, or knew through family stories. To keep this goal a realistic one, I am not going to write formal biographies, but instead will concentrate on recording as much as I can about as many people as possible. I (or someone else) can always take the time to write a more "polished" biography in the future.
2) Complete a personal biography. No amount of documents can help you get to know an ancestor like an autobiography. I had resisted doing this for my own life, primarily because I don't think I'm that interesting. However, several of the personal biographies I have begin with, "I'm only writing this because my daughter insists," or "I don't understand why anyone would ever want to read this, but..." so perhaps it will be the same with my story and my descendants. I was inspired by OurStory.com, a free site that allows collaboration among people in getting stories and timelines recorded. (I have no affiliation whatsoever with this site, nor its creators.) While I don't feel compelled to put my stories online, they do offer a number of "question sets" that were easy to use and were very effective in reviving old memories. I started writing my story several years ago, and set it aside when life got busy. This coming year, I'm going to attempt to get it up to date, or at least make some significant progress.
This would also be a great "group activity" if you're getting together with siblings, cousins, etc., for the holidays. What great fun it would be to get a bunch of them together, with a pot of coffee, a digital recorder, and one of these question sets! The result would be a priceless gift for our descendants.
There are many other ways in which a family historian could assist future generations, but with a limited amount of time available, this is what I will be tackling. Did I just make a New Year's Resolution??

Defining of Forms
The most convenient way of describing web pages in the ZK environment is via the ZUL languagea subset of XML for describing web UIs. ZUL document tags correspond to graphic controls on forms and are nested in the same way as the controls are embedded on the page. This is an idea borrowed from XUL and developed by Mozilla. A similar concept is XAML implemented in the most recent version of Windows. Compared to traditional methods of creating UIs via specialized APIs (as in GWT), such a declarative solution results in shorter, more lucid code, reducing development time and making maintenance easier.
Listing Two is a ZUL document, and Figure 2 is a page rendered on its basics (with some enhancements). This page consists of a window that embodies page content, a label for displaying messages, and a button triggering server-side action. On a display request, ZK creates a page initiator object of the type HelloWorldInit and window controller HelloWorldCtrler. The identifier helloWindow is a reference to the controller object and allows for calling its methods inside scriptlets placed on ZUL pages.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <?init class="zkdemo.ui.controler.HelloWorldInit"?> <window id="helloWindow" title="Welcome window" border="normal" use="zkdemo.ui.controler.HelloWorldCtrler"> <label id="messageBoard" value="${helloMsg}"/> <button label="What's the time on a server?" onClick="helloWindow.showTime()"/> </window>
Listing Three (available online) is the initiator of this page. Its task is to set up the helloMsg variable in the page context before rendering. The variable is accessible for EL ("Expression Language"), the same language as in standard JSP.
The HelloWorldCtrler class (Listing Four, online) enhances the component definition org.zkoss.zul.Window. Its showTime method invokes getFellow from the base class to find a Label component. A change of state of this component is automatically reflected on the client side, without the need to reload the whole page and without web developers writing a single line of JavaScript code.

Not surprising given its name, Epic Brewing is going big as beer brewed at its new Denver brewery becomes available to the drinking public.
The award-winning Utah-based brewery on Monday will begin distributing statewide three new beers being brewed exclusively at its new spot in River North – Escape to Colorado IPA, dank and fruity and dry-hopped with Mosaic hops; RiNo Pale Ale, which uses English malts to balance Pacific Northwest hops; and crisp Blue Ski Lager brewed with noble hops.
The beers will be available in 22-ounce bombers and on draft, Epic spokesman Matthew Allred said.

The worst of Hurricane Sandy is behind us, but the aftermath is still affecting many New Yorkers. With half a million residents still without power since the hurricane hit on Monday, many people are in Manhattan are travelling to areas of the city lucky enough to have electricity to seek power sources in order to charge their devices. For those unable to travel, like people in New Jersey and Staten Island, Verizon also rolled out mobile device charging stations.
Brightbox, an NYC-based startup that creates mobile charging stations, realized that people in the city without power needed a way to charge their phones. Though a brightbox charging station usually charges users a fee between $2 to $4 per use, the company brought three of its units outside the Ace Hotel on 29th street in Manhattan, free of charge. Needless to say, people checking out the unusual-looking devices began juicing up their phones and taking over the sidewalk in front of the hotel's Stumptown coffee shop.
Adam Johnson, co-founder of brightbox, said he realized people needed his product when he walked into his office the day after the hurricane hit and saw people in the lobby charging their phones. That day, Johnson set up five of his mobile units in front of the Ace Hotel, enough space to charge 60 phones, and continued to return each day after. We checked out the brightbox setup today, the fourth day of the charging pop-up, and saw people who had come back multiple times that week. Johnson said the Ace Hotel station has charged more than a thousand phones in the past few days.
One man, Nestor Munoz and his aptly named dog Sandy, is one of those returning visitors. Munoz, who lives in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, an area hit hard by the storm, said he came to the area a few days ago to use the outlets on an outside wall at the restaurant next to the hotel. The restaurant blocked off the outlets, but, fortunately, Munoz noticed the brightbox stations. Munoz has been also been visiting hotel lobbies to charge, which he says many people are doing in this time of need.
Though brightbox was able to serve this area of the city, many other restaurants and bars with power and Wi-Fi are offering their business to the people who need it. We passed one restaurant that set up multiple power strips and surge units around the restaurant for people to charge their devices while grabbing a bite. One table of young professionals whose office lost power during the storm had been there for most of the day working on their laptops. The hostess told us that the restaurant is happy to help in any way, even if the customer just buys one drink and uses the Wi-Fi and power for the rest of the day.
As for brightbox, users can find the mobile charging stations in bars in the Tri-State area. Available in 50 locations now, the company is expanding and will be adding a hundred more by the end of the year to other hospitality businesses. To use the station, a user swipes his or her credit card, which acts as a key. The box opens, they connect their phone – brightbox has micro-USB, iPhone, and iPhone 5 chargers – and then the door closes, keeping the phone safe for as long as the user wants to keep it in there. To retrieve the phone, the user simply swipes the credit card, and the door opens.
Thankfully, much of Manhattan is said to regain power by late tonight, but brightbox said it'll remain posted in front of Stumptown until power is restored. The stations are usually set up between 9:30 a.m. and 9 p.m. Curious about how brightbox works? Ryan Johnson, brightbox ambassador, explains in the video below.

1961 - 1991
"The Toughest Job You'll Ever Love."
In 1961, many Americans didn't understand President Kennedy's Peace Corps program. To that end, The Ad Council and ad agency Young & Rubicam developed a campaign that captured the spirit and the nobility of purpose of the program. Ad agency Ted Bates & Co. created the slogan that conveyed its hardship and rewards -- "The Toughest Job You'll Ever Love." The ads challenged young people and began attracting volunteers to the program almost immediately. In 1962, shortly after the campaign began, more than 30,000 people applied to the Peace Corps. By 1965, more than a thousand people a week were clipping and mailing coupons from the ads, and by 1991, 30 percent of current Peace Corps volunteers were reached through the Ad Council's recruitment campaign.

I'm a big fan of one ingredient solutions, so of course I make barely nothing. I just use baking soda with xylitol, a bar of soap, and Brush With Bamboo toothbrush from Vegan Mania. I promise I've never had a cavity and my dental routine is pretty much unchanged since childhood (baking soda is a buffering agent so it reduces decay-causing acid in the mouth- see the comments below about ways to remineralize without fluoride, or see my Instagram highlights for more details on the abrasivity of baking soda vs. conventional toothpaste). I did want braces to get rid of my dog teeth back in the day, but no dentist would let me. One told my mother, "She just wants that Hollywood smile- don't waste your money." If I'd known selfies were going to be such a big deal, I would've insisted.
In France I think a lot of people don't floss. Brush with Bamboo is working on a sustainable one; until then, some recommend swiss chard fiber instead, or human / horse hair gathered during grooming, then cleaned. I tried radish green fiber and it's tough enough to work, but I don't know if it leaves too much sugar between my teeth. Others unravel thread from silk (Bea from Zero Waste Home does this), which you could do with secondhand silk. For siwak, separate the bristles before using them exactly like floss between your teeth, scrubbing back and forth in a C formation along the teeth and gums. I imagine you can use a neem stick, which freshens breath, the same way, although you're really supposed to chew them for hours. My dentist recommends a water pik in conjunction with some type of floss or interdental brush. Radius or EcoDent floss are popular options- my grandparents always washed and reused dental floss. Goodwell sells disposable flossers marketed as biodegradable, but am I stupid because I can't figure out what they're made of or if they actually decompose in a timely manner? I have crowded teeth, so siwak works for me.
In Korea, they use broth made from pine cones to heal dental problems, such as infected teeth. I personally know people who've had amazing results, but if you try this- 5 green pine cones, or 5 fallen pine cones, boiled three times in a liter of water- you need to stop drinking alcohol for it to work (drinking matcha will actually help). Baking soda and / or seas salt is also recommended for gum health in Korea, but only once a day, because too much can be overly harsh. White sesame seeds, neem, fennel, clove, cinnamon, cardamom, and licorice root can remedy tooth and gum problems and improve oral hygiene in general. Chew ingredients and brush with water after.

White Hair Stylist Doing Black Hair in Pretoria?
Hair is big business, particularly in the African American community, where hair types and styles are so versatile: Short, long, curly, wavy, kinky, straight, natural, braided, twisted, locked, color treated, texturized, and relaxed.
Regardless of one's hair type or preferred style; including weaves and extensions, proper basic care is essential for healthy African American hair:
- Strong hair that does not easily break.
- Hair that grows--Hair growth and hair length are not necessarily synonymous. Everyone's hair has different growth cycles. The life span of some individuals' hair is approximately one year, before new hair pushes out the existing. This results in around six inches of length. Other individuals' hair has the life span of several years, resulting in length well over two feet!
- Hair that has sheen.
- A healthy, clean scalp.
To obtain a healthy head of African American hair, as described above, basic care is necessary, and includes:
1. Proper diet and exercise.
2. Thorough shampooing and conditioning.
3. Efficient moisturizing.
Proper Diet and Exercise
As cliched as it sounds, proper diet and exercise are the gateway for many desirable traits, such as proportioned weight, high energy level, nice skin, etc. Proper nutrition and exercise are often over looked when it comes to care of the tresses because so many cosmetic and chemical options are available to obtain a certain look.
Efficient Moisturizing
Most African American hair types do not produce the amount of natural moisturizer found in other hair types. Therefore, it is necessary for many African Americans to regularly moisturize their tresses. Like with shampooing and conditioning, the amount of moisturizer depends on several factors, including hair type and style. Additionally, the type of moisturizer plays a big role in contributing to healthy African American hair. Some African American hair styles and types thrive when an oil moisturizer is used. Other African American styles and types respond better with cream moisturizers. Still, others do better with lotions or pomades. Again, a licensed professional is the best source for recommending a moisturizer for one's particular type and style.
Regardless of how you wear your hair, invest time in exercising, meal planning, and the proper hair care regiment; including a schedule of shampooing, conditioning, and moisturizing. Healthy hair is a reflection of one's overall health, in addition to looking good!
Hairstyles For African American Women
Whether you are a hair salon employee, a hair salon owner, or a regular hair salon client, sanitation and cleanliness of the hair salon should always be important to you. This is because bacteria, viruses and various other types of microscopic organisms could be breeding and thriving in the various implements, tools of the trade and in the premises of the hair salon itself without your being aware of it.
How simple is it to contract something when you visit a hair salon for a trim? The comb that is used to smoothen out tangles in your hair could have just been used on another customer who has lice, yet the hairstylist may not have had the comb washed and disinfected. The rollers that the staff may use to roll up your hair preparatory to setting so that you wind up with bouncy curls could have been used beforehand on someone with a catching scalp condition like psoriasis. And the towels they use to wrap your head after washing may have been used on another client - which is just plain disgusting.
o Sneeze that hair out
You could also look at the hair accumulating on the floor - is it regularly swept up? Or do they let around five clients get haircuts first before they start sweeping the mess into a dustpan for disposal?
o Quality Check your hairstylist
Take a good look at your hairstylist too. Are his/her nails kept clean and tidy? Or are they long and kind of dirty? A hairstylist with dirty fingernails might have something catching living under those nails which could be passed on to you so if you spot that type of detail, say good bye politely and never return.
There are hair salons from hell and there are hair salons which are very diligent about practicing sound sanitation and cleanliness habits. Your best choice? The latter as your health depends on it.

Remarks by Angel Gurría, OECD Secretary-General, during a briefing with the United States Council for International Business (www.uscib.org)
Washington, D.C., 13 October 2008
Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, good afternoon.
It's a pleasure to be here among business executives and public policy specialists to speak on the issue of Sovereign Wealth Funds and keeping markets open. I congratulate the United States Council for having focused on an issue of long term significance at this particular juncture.
In these uncertain times when the wave of financial markets turmoil stimulates a discussion on every tenet of the market economy, it is essential to be able to think clearly on the issue of market openness, why we need it and how we can address legitimate security and other non-economic concerns.
Going straight into the subject, allow me to make three basic points:
First, OECD member countries have come out strongly in this debate in welcoming Sovereign Wealth Funds and have given us a mandate to develop guidance for recipient countries. And we came out first.
Second, in this area, we are absolutely complementary to the work of the International Working Group in which we participate.
Third, we will not let this subject slip through the cracks. We intend to continue to monitor observance and commitment to basic principles by recipient countries, just as we have been doing for international investment as a whole for the last 47 years.
I don't need to dwell at length on the first two points. Basically, a year ago the IMFC and the OECD answered the call of the G7 to work on how sovereign wealth fund investments would fit into the global economy.
On Saturday, the IMF welcomed the Generally Agreed Principles and Practices (GAPP) for SWFs transparency and governance. These were developed by the SWFs themselves, with the IMF acting as Secretariat.
We can congratulate ourselves on an outcome where SWFs, working with the support of the IMF, and the OECD were able to create a positive interaction – a real synergy – that has delivered something important to the global economy: a set of principles for both SWFs and recipient governments that will enhance transparency, governance and ability to respond to each other's legitimate concerns (e.g. about fair market access for sovereign wealth funds or national security for recipient countries) in an effective and open way.
I am proud to report that we were able to help both SWFs and recipient countries build a solid policy foundation upon which mutual trust and confidence can grow.
On the OECD side, we have completed guidance for recipient country policies and this guidance was endorsed last June through a Ministerial-level Declaration on SWFs.
The OECD Guidance is based on the general investment policy principles of non-discrimination, transparency and liberalisation. It also recognises the right of governments to take actions they consider necessary to protect national security, but calls for restraint when applying security-related investment measures. It asks them to exercise these actions in conformity with fundamental principles of:
OECD countries put these policy principles into practice in a variety of ways and the OECD respects their efforts to develop their own approaches to investment and national security within broad guidance provided by the OECD. Many countries, including especially, the northern rim of Europe, don't use discriminatory investment policies at all to protect their essential security interests. Instead, policy specialists in such areas as national defence, competition and critical infrastructure act to safeguard national interests by imposing the same rules on both domestic and foreign investors. Here in the United States, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States process is narrowly focused on national security concerns and involves close cooperation among different parts of the executive branch (e.g. intelligence, defence and treasury). This approach has the advantage of bringing significant expertise from those departments to bear on the investment review process.
To move ahead, it is essential to implement the International Working Group' Generally Accepted Principles and Practices (GAPP) for SWFs. The OECD has supported and participated as an observer in IWG's work all along. The Generally Agreed Principles and Practices are a message to markets around the world that Sovereign Wealth Funds intend to behave like other investors – maybe better than other investors. They have set and they will meet standards of transparency and governance to ensure that they are welcome everywhere they wish to invest.
How we intend to move ahead at the OECD?
The next step at the OECD is now to monitor observance by recipient countries of their commitment to preserve and expand an international investment environment for SWFs. To do that, we do not intend to reinvent the wheel. The OECD Investment Committee has for decades been the place where new and emerging investment issues have been analysed and debated, where governments have been helped to craft complementary approaches, panic reactions abated, and legitimate security concerns explained to trading partners.
We intend to broaden our existing methods to continue to shed light on this issue, and involve all relevant players in our discussions within and outside the OECD membership.
For this we have an instrument we call the Freedom of Investment Process, convened under the auspices of the OECD Investment Committee. This project was launched to help governments counter rising investment protectionism. It provides three key instruments:
We encourage the Sovereign Wealth Funds and their governments to participate actively in the Freedom of Investment process. This is an excellent way for them to make their voices heard by recipient countries and be sure that they keep the promises of openness.
The global economy looks set to go through some rough times in the months ahead. An important part of weathering the storm is to keep trade and capital moving.
Working side by side, OECD countries, the Sovereign Wealth Funds, and the IMF, have been able to build mutual confidence, a much appreciated asset in these times of global financial uncertainty. Let us continue to work together to reinforce this cooperation.
Thank you very much.

Jacek has been a useless wreck all day. He keeps trying to talk to me which...when I'm working, it's never a good idea. As you know, I am rooting for the Canucks for many reasons – my husband's happiness, the value of my season tickets, etc – but right now, I am hoping the Canucks take it tonight because, simply, I DO NOT want to go back to Rogers Arena for Game 7. It's too much stress. During Game 5 I went from wanting to throw up, to wanting someone to throw up ON me, to getting the nervous sh-t swirls. It's the WORST. And if they lose tonight, I cannot even imagine how tense it will be on Wednesday. Cannot handle.
You know what else I cannot handle?
The decision to light the Olympic torch. There's a feng shui argument about why that was a dumb idea – click here for the Feng Shei Master's analysis of how that decision may have cost the Canucks – but mostly, for me, it was just bad form.
The Olympic torch? For a hockey team?
Since the 2010 Games ended, that torch was relit on two occasions: Canada Day and the anniversary of the Games. Not actually sure what the Stanley Cup has to do with that. I haven't sent this feng shui article to Jacek because it would just freak him out even more. He's very, very superstitious. In a sporty way and in a half Chinese by marriage way. And, I suspect, he would also think the Olympic torch lighting for a hockey team is bad luck too.
My ma says fans doing good things can reverse that kind of sh-t. Let's make it a good, gritty, classy, clean game tonight, ok?
OMG I feel sick already.
(I was just given a stern lecture from Jacek about finishing this article "on a more positive note". He is pacing and sweating, and has been growing worse and worse all day. This, naturally, is making my life. It's hilarious. I wish I could video him but he keeps having to use the bathroom.)
Anyway, for Canucks fans, and Vancouver, where I live – as corny as it sounds, if they play for each other, and at their level, we can dream the big dream, right?

Zinc is an important element that is found in every cell in the body. More than 300 enzymes in the body need zinc in order to function properly. Although the amount of zinc we need in our daily diet is tiny, it's very important that we get it. However, the evidence suggests that many of us do not get enough. Mild zinc deficiency seems to be fairly common, and for this reason taking a zinc supplement at nutritional doses may be a good idea.
However, taking too much zinc isn't a good idea—it can cause toxicity. In this article, we discuss the possible uses of zinc at various doses.
The official US recommendations for daily intake of zinc are as follows:
- 0-6 months: 2 mg
- 7-12 months: 3 mg
- 1-3 years: 3 mg
- 4-8 years: 5 mg
- 9-13 years: 8 mg
- 14 years and older: 11 mg
- 9-13 years: 8 mg
- 14-18 years: 9 mg
- 19 years and older: 8 mg
Pregnant Women
- 18 years and younger: 13 mg
- 19 years and older: 11 mg
Nursing Women
- 18 years and younger: 14 mg
- 19 years and older: 12 mg
Oysters have a very high zinc content—a 3-ounce serving of cooked oysters has about 74 milligrams of zinc. Besides oysters, other types of shellfish, along with meat and chicken are high in zinc. In the table below, the National Institutes of Health's Office of Dietary Supplements offers an extensive list of foods that are high in zinc: 207
Zinc can also be taken as a nutritional supplement, in one of many forms. Zinc citrate, zinc acetate, or zinc picolinate may be the best absorbed, although zinc sulfate is less expensive. When you purchase a supplement, you should be aware of the difference between the milligrams of actual zinc that the product contains (so-called elemental zinc) and the total milligrams of the zinc product, which includes the weight of the sulfate, picolinate, and so forth. All dosages given in this article refer to elemental zinc (unless otherwise stated).
Zinc Deficiency
The average diet in the developed world may provide insufficient zinc, especially in women, adolescents, infants, and the elderly. 1-5,163 Thus, it may be a wise idea to increase your intake of zinc on general principles.
Zinc Absorption
Various drugs may tend to reduce levels zinc in the body by inhibiting its absorption or increasing its excretion. These include captopril and possibly other ACE inhibitors , oral contraceptives , thiazide diuretics , 6-12,31,32 and drugs which reduce stomach acid (including H 2 blockers and proton pump inhibitors ). Certain nutrients may also inhibit zinc absorption, including calcium , soy , manganese , copper , and iron . 13-29 Contrary to previous reports, folate is not likely to have this effect. 30
Therapeutic Dosages
For most purposes, zinc should simply be taken at the recommended daily requirements listed previously.
Some evidence suggests that 30 mg of zinc daily may be helpful for acne. This is a safe dose for most people. However, in most studies of zinc for acne, a much higher dose was used: 90 mg daily or more. Doses this high should only be used under physician supervision (see Safety Issues ). Potentially dangerous doses of zinc have also been recommended for sickle-cell anemia, macular degeneration, and rheumatoid arthritis.
For best absorption, zinc supplements should not be taken at the same time as high-fiber foods. 33,34 However, many high-fiber foods provide zinc in themselves.
Zinc gluconate may be slightly better absorbed than zinc oxide. 180
When taking zinc long-term it is advisable to take 1 mg to 3 mg of copper daily as well, because zinc supplements can cause copper deficiency. 35,36 Zinc may also interfere with magnesium37 and iron38 absorption.
Zinc is used topically in lozenge or nasal gel form for the treatment of colds. When using zinc this way, the purpose is not to increase zinc levels in your body, but to interfere with the action of viruses in the back of your throat or in the nose. It appears that of the common forms of zinc, only zinc gluconate and zinc acetate have the required antiviral properties. 39,40 Certain sweeteners and flavorings used in lozenges can block zinc's antiviral action. Dextrose, sucrose, mannitol, and sorbitol appear to be fine, but citric acid and tartaric acid are not. The information on glycine as a flavoring agent is a bit equivocal.
Note : When using zinc nasal gel products, do not deeply inhale, as this may cause severe pain. Rather, simply squeeze the gel into the nose, according to the directions.
Therapeutic Uses
Use of zinc nasal spray or zinc lozenges at the beginning of a cold may reduce the duration and severity of symptoms, but study results are somewhat inconsistent. 41,42,164,181-183 These treatments are thought to work by directly interfering with viruses in the nose and throat, and involve relatively high doses of zinc used for a short time.
Zinc can also be taken long-term at nutritional doses orally to improve overall immunity and reduce risk of infection; 43,44, 197 however, this approach probably only works if you are deficient in zinc to begin with.
A significant body of evidence suggests that oral zinc can reduce symptoms of acne . 48-53,165 But, in most studies, potentially toxic doses were used, and in any case, the benefits appear to be rather slight.
Growing evidence suggests that oral zinc, especially in combination with antioxidants, can help slow the progression of macular degeneration . 105,106,156 Oral zinc has also shown promise for sickle cell anemia , 54,161,166,204ADHD , 172,173 and stomach ulcers . 55,56 Zinc has also been shown to be beneficial for acute diarrhea in children, the most convincing evidence coming from studies done in developing countries. 202,203 This suggests that zinc is most useful for this condition in the presence of a nutritional deficiency.
Topical zinc may be helpful for cold sores . 45
Zinc has shown some promise for treating dysgeusia (impaired taste sensation). In a study of 50 people with idiopathic dysgeusia (impaired taste sensation of no known cause), use of zinc at a rather high dose of 140 mg daily improved taste ability. 184 Another study enrolled seniors with dysgeusia and gave them either placebo or 30 mg of zinc daily; the results were equivocal. 199 Dysgeusia can also be caused by radiation therapy in the vicinity of the mouth, but the overall evidence regarding the use of zinc for this purpose is more negative than positive. 167,198 Kidney dialysis also impairs taste sensation, but once more zinc supplements failed to prove effective. 174 ( Note : Use of any mineral supplement by people undergoing kidney dialysis is potentially dangerous.)
In one study, use of zinc appeared to modestly decrease inflammation of the mucous membranes and skin caused by radiation therapy. 195
Weak and/or contradictory results have been seen in studies of zinc for anorexia nervosa , 81-83,162depression , 175rheumatoid arthritis , 57-62,159,160 enhancing sexual function in men on kidney dialysis, 100,168,169tinnitus , 110,170 and warts . 185
Some, but not all, studies have found that HIV-positive people tend to be deficient in zinc, with levels dropping lower in more severe disease. 64-69 Higher zinc levels have been linked to better immune function and higher CD4+ cell counts, whereas zinc deficiency has been linked to increased risk of dying from HIV. 70-72 One preliminary study among people taking AZT found that 30 days of zinc supplementation led to decreased rates of opportunistic infection over the following 2 years. 73 However, other research has linked higher zinc intake to more rapid development of AIDS. 74,75 Another failed to find that zinc supplementation reduces diarrhea associated with HIV. 193 The bottom line: If you have HIV, consult your physician before supplementing with zinc.
Although the evidence that zinc works is not yet meaningful, the supplement is sometimes recommended for the following conditions as well: Alzheimer's disease , 77-80 and minor memory loss in seniors, 196benign prostatic hyperplasia , 87-93bladder infection , cataracts , diabetes , 94-96 Down's syndrome, 97-99infertility in men , 76,188inflammatory bowel disease ( ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease ), 101-104osteoporosis , 107periodontal disease , prostatitis , 108psoriasis , and wound and burn healing. 111-113, 209
An 8-week, double-blind trial of zinc at 67 mg daily failed to find any benefit for eczema symptoms. 158
What Is the Scientific Evidence for Zinc?
Use of lozenges containing zinc gluconate or zinc acetate have shown somewhat inconsistent, but generally positive results for reducing the severity and duration of the common cold. For example, in a double-blind trial, 100 people who were experiencing the early symptoms of a cold were given a lozenge that either contained 13.3 mg of zinc from zinc gluconate or a placebo. 116 Participants took the lozenges several times daily until their cold symptoms subsided. The results were impressive. Coughing disappeared within 2.2 days in the treated group versus 4 days in the placebo group. Sore throat disappeared after 1 day versus 3 days in the placebo group, nasal drainage in 4 days (versus 7 days), and headache in 2 days (versus 3 days). Positive results have also been seen in double-blind studies of zinc acetate. 117,118,201 While not all studies have been supportive, 119 on balance, results appear to favor the effectiveness of zinc lozenges for treating symptoms of the common cold. 120,186, 206
It has been suggested that the exact formulation of the zinc lozenge plays a significant role in its effectiveness. 40 According to this view, certain flavoring agents, such as citric acid and tartaric acid, might prevent zinc from inhibiting viruses. In addition, chemical forms of zinc other than zinc gluconate or zinc acetate might be ineffective. Zinc sulfate in particular might not work. 121 Along the same lines, sweeteners such as sorbitol, sucrose, dextrose, and mannitol are said to be fine, while glycine has been discussed in an equivocal manner.
Use of zinc in the nose is somewhat more controversial. 187 In addition to showing inconsistent results in studies, use of zinc nasal gel can cause pain and possibly loss of sense of smell. ( See Safety Issues .)
For example, in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of a widely available zinc nasal gel product , 213 people with a newly starting cold used one squirt of zinc gluconate gel or placebo gel in each nostril every 4 hours while awake. 114 The results were significant: treated participants stayed sick an average of 2.3 days, while those receiving placebo were sick for an average of 9 days, a 75% reduction in the duration of symptoms. Somewhat more modest, but still significant relative benefits were seen with zinc nasal gel in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 80 people with colds. 164 However, another study, this one involving 77 people, failed to find benefit even with near constant saturation of the nasal passages with zinc gluconate nasal spray. 189 Furthermore, a study of 91 people using the standard commercially available nasal spray failed to find benefit. 190 Yet another double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, this one enrolling 185 individuals, failed to find benefit with zinc nasal spray. 115 However, this study used a much lower amount of zinc—50 times lower—per squirt of spray than was used in the studies just described.
Other than its direct affect on viruses during an infection, zinc supplements (not lozenges) may play a role in reducing the risk of coming down with a cold in the first place. In a review of 2 randomized trials, which included 394 healthy children, researches found that the groups who took zinc had fewer colds, school absences, and prescriptions for antibiotics. 206
In a review of 17 randomized trials with 2,121 patients, oral zinc started within 3 days of cold symptom appearance showed mixed results when compared to placebo or no treatment. Four trials with 412 patients showed no significant decrease in symptom severity. However, the risk of being symptomatic after 7 days was reduced significantly in 9 trials with 1,325 patients. Cold symptoms were reduced by an average of 2.6 days in an analysis of 5 trials with 371 adults. No significant differences in cold symptom duration were found in 3 trials with 563 children. 208
Chronic zinc deficiency is known to weaken the immune system. 123 Although low levels of zinc are uncommon in healthy children and adults living in developed countries, deficiencies may be found among the elderly and are widespread among populations in developing countries. A 1-year, double-blind study of 50 nursing home residents found that zinc supplements reduced rates of infection compared to placebo. 197 Additionally, in a 2-year study of nursing home residents, participants given zinc and selenium developed illnesses less frequently than those given placebo. 122
Numerous studies in developing countries have also found benefit. For example, a 6-month, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 609 preschool children in India found that zinc supplements reduced the rate of respiratory infections by 45%. 124 In addition, more than 10 other studies performed in developing countries have also found that zinc supplements were helpful for preventing respiratory and other infections in children, and that zinc might reduce symptom severity. 125,194,200
Cold Sores
Cold sores are infections caused by the herpes virus. One study suggests that topical zinc may be helpful. In this trial, 46 individuals with cold sores were treated with a zinc oxide cream or placebo every 2 hours until cold sores resolved. 126 The results showed that individuals using the cream experienced a reduction in severity of symptoms and a shorter time to full recovery.
Zinc is thought to interfere with the ability of the herpes virus to reproduce itself. As with colds, the formulation of zinc must be properly designed to release active zinc ions. This study used a special zinc oxide and glycine formulation.
Some participants in this study experienced burning and inflammation caused by the zinc itself, but this seldom caused a serious problem.
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration is one of the most common causes of vision loss in the elderly.
A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluated the effects of zinc with or without antioxidants on the progression of macular degeneration in 3,640 individuals in the early stage of the disease. 156 Participants were randomly assigned to receive one of the following: antioxidants ( vitamin C 500 mg, vitamin E 400 IU, and beta-carotene 15 mg), or zinc (80 mg) and copper (2 mg), antioxidants plus zinc, or placebo. (Copper was administered along with zinc to prevent zinc-induced copper deficiency.)
The results suggest that zinc (alone or, even better, with antioxidants) significantly slowed the progression of the disease.
Previous studies of zinc for macular degeneration found mixed results, but they were much smaller. 141,142
There is also some evidence that making sure to get your dietary requirement of zinc on a daily basis over many years might reduce the risk of developing macular degeneration later in life. 143
Keep in mind that the dosages of zinc used in most of these studies are rather high, and should be used only under a physician's supervision.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Zinc has shown some promise for treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In a large (approximately 400-participant), double-blind, placebo-controlled study, use of zinc at a dose of 40 mg daily produced statistically significant benefits as compared to placebo among children not using any other treatment. 176 This dose of zinc, while higher than nutritional needs, should be safe. However, the benefits seen were quite modest: about 28% of the participants given zinc showed improvement as compared to 20% in the placebo group.
Another, much smaller double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluated whether zinc at 15 mg per day could enhance the effect of Ritalin. 177 Again, modest benefits were seen.
Finally, extremely weak evidence hints that zinc might enhance the effectiveness of evening primrose oil for ADHD. 178
Studies suggest that people with acne have lower-than-normal levels of zinc in their bodies. 127-129 This fact alone does not prove that taking zinc supplements will help acne, but several small double-blind studies involving a total of more than 300 people have found generally positive results.
In one of these studies, 54 people were given either placebo or 135 mg of zinc (as zinc sulfate) daily. Zinc produced slight, but measurable benefits. 130 Similar results have been seen in other studies using 90 mg to 135 mg of zinc daily. 131-134 Some evidence suggests that a lower and safer dose, 30 mg daily, may offer some benefits. 135,165 In some studies, however, no benefits were seen. 136,137
Two studies have compared zinc against a standard treatment for acne, the antibiotic tetracycline. One study found that zinc was as effective as tetracycline taken at 250 mg daily, 138 but another found the antibiotic far more effective when taken at 500 mg daily. 139
Keep in mind that the dosages of zinc used in most of these studies are rather high; case reports indicate that people have made themselves extremely ill by taking zinc in hopes of treating their acne symptoms. 147,171 Doses of zinc higher than the recommended safe levels (see Safety Issues ) should be used only under a physician's supervision.
Sickle-cell Disease
Children with sickle cell disease often do not grow normally. There is some evidence that people with sickle cell disease are more likely than others to be deficient in zinc. 161 Since zinc deficiency can also cause delayed growth, zinc supplementation at nutritional doses has been suggested for children with sickle cell disease. In a placebo-controlled study, 42 children (ages 4 to 10) with sickle cell disease were given either zinc supplements (10 mg of zinc daily) or placebo for a period of 1 year. 161 Results showed that by the end of the study, the participants given zinc showed enhanced growth compared to those given placebo. Curiously, researchers did not find any solid connection between the severity of zinc deficiency and the extent of response to treatment.
Zinc is thought to have a stabilizing effect on the cell membrane of red blood cells in people with sickle cell disease. For this reason, it has been tried as an aid for preventing sickle cell crisis. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 145 people with sickle cell disease conducted in India, participants received either placebo or about 50 mg of zinc 3 times daily. 54 During 18 months of treatment, the zinc-treated subjects had an average of 2.5 crises, compared to 5.3 for the placebo group. However, zinc didn't seem to reduce the severity of a crisis, as measured by the number of days spent in the hospital for each crisis.
Sickle cell disease can also cause skin ulcers (nonhealing sores). In a 12-week, placebo-controlled trial, use of zinc at 88 mg 3 times per day for 12 weeks enhanced the rate of ulcer healing. 166
Warning : The high dosages of zinc used in the last two studies can cause dangerous toxicity and should be taken (if at all) only under the supervision of a doctor. The nutritional dose described in the first study, however, is safe. (See Safety Issues .)
Safety Issues
Zinc taken orally seldom causes any immediate side effects other than occasional stomach upset, usually when it's taken on an empty stomach. Some forms do have an unpleasant metallic taste. Use of zinc nasal gel, however, has been associated with anosmia (loss of sense of smell). 191 In fact, After receiving over 130 reports of anosmia, the FDA warned consumers and healthcare providers in 2009 to discontinue use of certain Zicam Cold Remedy intranasal zinc-containing products, including Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Gel, Cold Remedy Nasal Swabs and Cold Remedy Swabs in kids size. 205 Furthermore, if the gel is inhaled too deeply, severe pain may occur.
Long-term use of oral zinc at dosages of 100 mg or more daily can cause a number of toxic effects, including severe copper deficiency, impaired immunity, heart problems, and anemia. 144-147 Zinc at a dose of more than 50 mg daily might reduce levels of HDL ("good") cholesterol. 192 In addition, very weak evidence hints that use of zinc supplements might increase risk of prostate cancer in men. 179
A bad taste in the mouth and nausea were the most common side effects in an analysis of 17 trials with 2,121 patients taking zinc to reduce the duration and severity of cold symptoms. 208
The US government has issued recommendations regarding "tolerable upper intake levels" (ULs) for zinc. The UL can be thought of as the highest daily intake over a prolonged time known to pose no risks to most members of a healthy population. The ULs for zinc are as follows: 157
- 0-6 months: 4 mg
- 7-12 months: 5 mg
- 1-3 years: 7 mg
- 4-8 years: 12 mg
- 9-13 years: 23 mg
Males and Females
- 14-18 years: 34 mg
- 19 years and older: 40 mg
Pregnant Women and Nursing Women
- 18 years or younger: 34 mg
- 19 years and older: 40 mg
There are also some interactions between zinc and certain medications to consider:
Use of zinc can interfere with the absorption of the drug penicillamine and also antibiotics in the tetracycline or fluoroquinolone (Cipro, Floxin) families. 148-153
The potassium-sparing diuretic amiloride was found to significantly reduce zinc excretion from the body. 154 This means that if you take zinc supplements at the same time as amiloride, zinc accumulation could occur. This could lead to toxic side effects. However, the potassium-sparing diuretic triamterene does not seem to cause this problem. 155
Interactions You Should Know About
If you are taking:
- ACE inhibitors ; estrogen-replacement therapy ; oral contraceptives ; thiazide diuretics ; or medications that reduce stomach acid (such as H 2 blockers [ Zantac ] or proton pump inhibitors [ Prilosec ]): You may need to take extra zinc.
- Amiloride : This medication could reduce zinc excretion from the body, leading to zinc accumulation, which could cause toxic side effects. Do not take zinc supplements unless advised by a physician.
- Manganese ; calcium ; copper ; iron ; antacids ; soy ; or antibiotics in the fluoroquinolone (such as, Cipro , Floxin ) or tetracycline families: It may be advisable to separate your doses of zinc and these substances by at least 2 hours.
- Penicillamine : Zinc interferes with penicillamine's absorption so it may be advisable to take zinc and penicillamine at least 2 hours apart.
- Zinc supplements: You should also take extra copper and perhaps magnesium as well because zinc interferes with their absorption. Zinc interferes with iron absorption, too, but you shouldn't take iron supplements unless you know you are deficient.

This company runs a ferry that carries commuters and holiday makers around Wellington harbour. The owner is very friendly and well known by his passengers. He puts a lot of time into his monthly newsletters, and they are well read by his customers.
The audience is commuters finding their way to work, or tourists looking for something different to do for the day. The navigation needs to be clean and simple. The design not too cluttered, presenting clearly the information such as timetables and fares.
The design is to be centered with a main header image.
The required components for the home page are in the 'components.png' image attached. This image is not intended to describe layout, but rather the main components that should be present on the home page. I would like to see some clear professional designs based on the wireframe in the image. Feel free to move page elements about to create something compelling.
Keep the dark blue as a part of the theme, but not solid & overwhelming. You are free to play with the logo to be monochrome.

Tea connoisseurs know that next to superior grown tea, you cannot enjoy the true essence and bouquet of a fine cup of tea without good quality water. The water must be free of waterborne minerals and contaminants to brew a good cup of tea. Water must contain the presence of a sufficient amount of oxygen to enhance the natural flavor of your tea. If the water tastes good alone, your brewed tea will taste great!
Hard water, which is high in dissolved minerals, can affect the taste and appearance of tea by making it dark and cloudy. The taste can be chalky and minerals can cause limescale accumulation that could lead to costly repairs or equipment failure in teapots and infusers. Bottled water with high mineral content has the same negative impact, especially if it does not include substantial oxygen (aeration). Oxygen plays an important part in the brewing process because it helps to release the flavors of your tea. You should always use fresh water that was not previously boiled to brew your tea. Re-heating water that was previously boiled has lost much of its dissolved oxygen. According to the Tea Association of the United States:
Water softening equipment will help to reduce or eliminate water hardness caused by excessive mineral content. An activated carbon filter is used to remove soluble organic chemicals, chlorine, taste and odor causing compounds.
A water filtration housing system like the Pentek 20″ Big Blue Filter Housing & WS20BB Filter will help to soften your hard water dilemma.
Your water supply is an integral part of your tea experience. In the United States it generally comes from municipal water, spring water, well water or bottled water. The predominant supply of water is municipal water. Although this source is controlled by EPA standards, regulations do not eliminate the entire presence of harmful minerals and contaminants. Usually chlorine is added to municipal water to kill bacteria, but when chlorine is present it has a distinctive and unfavorable taste.
In rural areas, spring and well water are major water sources, but both are subject to serious contamination because they are unregulated. Individual springs and wells must be tested to determine the source and level of contamination. The Hach Water Hardness, Iron & pH Test Kit is a cost effective and complete kit for testing and determining the hardness and quality of your water.
Only companies using a multi-step process of filtration, purification and oxygenation would be considered reliable for brewing good tasting tea. Purified water must be infused with oxygen to assure you are getting the best flavor of tea. The process of water purification filters out minerals and contaminants. When choosing your water you want to make sure that you get the best taste from your brewed tea. Water quality is just as important as the quality of the tea leaves to a tea lover. These tea aficionados are persnickety about their preference of pure water for producing a crisp flavor and clear brew of tea that is aesthetically pleasing.
