Intel extends platform support IoT to fifteen years
Intel significantly increased the life cycle of their platforms for the Internet of things (IoT): from seven to fifteen years. With this step, the manufacturer hopes to cause the location of companies, designing and producing solutions for IoT, as well as to encourage the use of this product in Intel platform.
According to industry representatives, the extension of the period of support requires Intel a significant cost increase. How productive will be this technique is unclear.
IoT is a promising engine of growth for the industry, prompting companies such as Intel, Qualcomm and Microsoft to active actions to capture the market. However, in recent years the development of IoT has slowed — mainly due to the lack of comprehensive standards that guarantee interoperability at the level of platforms and individual devices. In turn, this undermines the confidence of participants in the supply chain the prospects for the direction.
Returning to Intel, it should be mentioned that the new period of support extends to all existing and future platforms for the IoT, including the Xeon E3, Core, Pentium, Celeron and Atom. In the last quarter, sales of platforms for IoT Intel brought $ 721 million, 11% more than a year ago. At the same time, it is less than 5% of the revenue of the company.

In order to get a paid claim, every pharmacy, whether your local retailer or a SP, needs to understand the payment rules of the insurance company, and thus employ reimbursement experts to navigate the process. Additionally, to coordinate delivery of the specialty drug, SPs need to operate a call center with patient care coordinators to get all information needed from the patient to dispense the medication. A SP considers success a paid claim and delivery set-up with a patient. Getting paid claims keeps pharmacies in business. Indeed, specialty pharmacies suppor t reimbursement services just like a hub, but for vastly different reasons, creating somewhat of a conflict and challenge if you hire a specialty pharmacy to be your hub. So while it is true that specialty pharmacies do offer some of the reimbursement services within a hub, their function and purpose are distinct from a hub. It would be ideal if hubs and specialty pharmacies agree to coexist and appreciate each other's role in the patient journey. Hubs need to have stellar relationships with SPs in order to ensure their patients get set up for medication delivery with a high degree of urgency. Having strong relationships with SPs is critical for your hub, not just for seamless transition to dispense, but also for data aggregation a n d a d h eren ce s t r a te g i e s . Fre qu en t communication and candor between hub and SP is recommended as a top priority before product launch and should be continued throughout the product lifecycle. Can hubs and SPs coexist? Absolutely! Frequent communication between your hub and SPs is key. As the commercial leader in charge of patient access, it is your leadership challenge to set a vision for your patient access strategy, and your opportunity to communicate your vision to your hub and SP partners. Consider your challenge one that helps evolve commercialization of new pharmaceuticals with the patient at the center of your goto market str ateg y for new product adoption. Top News New products take the stage at IQPC Cold Chain Forum continued from page 11 Laminar Medica, which will expand Sonoco's capacity and scale in Europe. CSafe Global, which markets RKN unit-load devices for air cargo as well as AcuTemp passive containers, has acquired Kalibox, a French packaging supplier. Pelican BioThermal has recently expanded its manufacturing capacity by 14,000 sq. ft. in its Plymouth, MN facility. In recent months, both World Courier and Marken, two leaders in clinical trial logistics, have expanded their resources in Moscow; Marken has also opened a new operations center in India. Even with all this activity and market growth, some IQPC vendors might be looking with envy at another "cold chain" company in the news: Yeti Holdings Inc., which supplies ice chests and insulated cups for outdoorsmen. The Austin, TX company (whose Tundra 250, a 6.6-cu. ft. chest made with rotomolded plastic and polyurethane insulation, retails for $900, and has been "certified" as "bear proof" by something called the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee), is about to be taken public by a private equity firm with a potential valuation of $5 billion. That price represents roughly a 36X P/E ratio, according to a Wall Street Journal article. Could be that if Yeti doesn't move into the life-sciences logistics space, some IQPC vendors might look into the bear-proof cooler market! Manufacturing & Packaging Active packaging protects oral solid formulations continued from page 24 technology, outfitted blisters can be customized to absorb tailored amounts of water vapor. Using scavenger technology, blisters can absorb oxygen or targeted gases and impurities, to levels lower than those achieved by purging. Greater still, these extruded polymers can be engineered to provide combination management of moisture and gas. All options can be produced in shapes and sizes to accommodate nearly any tablet and capsule size. For pharmaceutical manufacturers and contract packagers, the cost of incorporating such active scavenging blister solutions is, typically, more than offset by alternative measures taken to best ensure premium moisture protection, especially when compared to purging and secondary packaging. Further, Activ-Blister solutions may allow a product to move from larger cold-form packages to a thermoform that offers a smaller footprint (up to a 40-60% size reduction) and provides visibility of the capsule or tablet for the customer. Holistic approach Extending shelf life, reducing returns and optimizing package design is important to any OSD application. All of these challenges are magnified in Climate Zones III and IV, making a truly global packaging and supply chain operation extremely difficult to serve. Many factors must be taken into account, including headspace at the time of packaging, ingress, and off-gassing from API and excipients. Often, there is a pile-on effect that happens throughout the product's production, shipping and shelf life, and all of these issues can be exacerbated even further in the high humidity climate zones. Simulated modeling can examine the impact of Activ-Blister solutions with various blister materials and designs. Attractive options can then be examined through prototyping and shelf life testing to determine both the drug product and the desiccant or scavenger performance. This process can provide relatively quick iterations and data to optimize package design. Plus, experience has shown some unexpected benefits of Activ-Blister technology. In one example, impurities were seen in an HDPE bottle application and persisted even in a cold form blister. More interesting, scavenging oxygen and other gases also did not impact impurity levels. Surprisingly, it was ultimately found that Activ-Blister technology using a molecular sieve (MS) desiccant was able to sufficiently reduce the impurities. Even better, this performance was achieved in a thermoform design, providing capsule visibility and minimized footprint capsules. (Fig. 2.) Conclusion Utilizing new packaging solutions that actively scavenge for moisture, oxygen and other gases-as well as degradation products such as VOCs-in blister headspace, products that are normally packaged in bottles with 26 Visit our website at www.PharmaceuticalCommerce.com November | December 2016 desiccant sachets can now be thermoformed into blister cards without sacrificing protection.

It can extend the shelf life of alu alu and thermoforms by reducing, and in some instances eliminating, moisture and gases in existing headspace and from potential ingress throughout the supply chain. Use of this groundbreaking technology also reduces packaging complexity and costs by eliminating the need for purging, secondary and fishbone packaging. Moving from cold form to thermoform also reduces material costs and results in a smaller footprint, and its adhesive-free heatstaking helps eliminate associated off-gassing and expense.

Newseum > Events > Film Screening > U.S. Premiere of "From Russia with Cash" Documentary
In July 2015, the UK documentary "From Russia with Cash" frayed political nerves when it revealed how real estate agents in Great Britain can be key enablers for laundering dirty money. The documentary provoked public outrage when real estate agents for multi-million dollar properties seemed willing to accept embezzled state funds from undercover reporters "Boris" (a caricature of a corrupt Russian official) and "Nastya" (his young mistress). "From Russia with Cash" caused such a stir that less than three weeks after the premiere, Prime Minister David Cameron vowed "the UK must not become a safe haven for corrupt money from around the world."
The screening will be followed by a discussion with the film's creative consultant/UK author and journalist Ben Judah, cast member/Ukrainian journalist Natalie Sedletska, and cast member/London-based anti-corruption fighter Roman Borisovich. The event will be moderated by Karen Dawisha, author of "Putin's Kleptocracy: Who Owns Russia?" The discussion will focus on the role played by both the United Kingdom and United States as enablers of international grand corruption.
Watch a live stream of the Q&A session beginning at 4 p.m. and tweet your questions using #FromRussiaWithCash.

Thanks to a simple comment by SkepticalVegan over Twitter the other day which assumed I would be at TAM this year, it finally dawned on me that…I should be at TAM this year. So with a bit of rushed scurrying around, the ticket, flights and accommodation are now all booked!
So basically I will be in Vegas for a week, attending as much as I can do at the event, and trying my best to organise times to meet with skeptic podcasters and bloggers to talk with them about rbutr, either doing interviews, or just generally demonstrating the app and answering questions.
So if you are going to be at TAM, leave a comment and say hi. If you want to meet up with me, you can get me on twitter, our facebook group, or email me (shane at rbutr domain, as shown on the about us page), and we can organise a time to meet!

Character Foundations
We are heirs to the legacy of our forefathers and ancestors to future generations who will build on the heritage we leave to them. (Paraphrase of Douglas Phillips' comments to the 2013 Family Economics Conference)
The culture of a people is rooted in its history. The foundations of individual character extends from family, church, business and social influence on our worldview. But we are not slaves to inaccuracies and failures of the past. We can understand and grow from the lessons we learn from them.
Knowing the heritage of your present condition is the beginning for plotting a good course to the future.

The GLIADEL® Wafer is a treatment used for high-grade malignant glioma, a form of brain cancer. It is used along with radiation therapy and surgery.
The GLIADEL Wafer is a new way of delivering chemotherapy. Brain cancer specialists may recommend the system for people who have newly diagnosed, high-grade malignant glioma, or recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (cancer that has returned after treatment).
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), anaplastic astrocytoma, and high-grade malignant glioma are the most severe types of brain cancers. The tumors grow quickly and can be hard to treat. While GLIADEL Wafers are not a cure for any of these types of brain cancer, they may slow down the progress of the tumor in some people. Specialists carefully weigh your treatment options to determine if you are a good candidate for the GLIADEL Wafer system.
If you are living with one of these severe brain cancers, you may be a candidate for the GLIADEL Wafer in Las Vegas or Henderson, NV. The collaboration between Dignity Health - St. Rose Dominican and Stanford Hospital & Clinics, one of the country's most respected medical institutions, enhances adult and pediatric neurological services in southern Nevada to provide quality care for brain cancer and other conditions. To learn more about this treatment option, find a neurologist or neurosurgeon associated with Dignity Health - St. Rose Dominican or call 702.616.4900.
The small, biodegradable GLIADEL wafer is about the size of a dime and is soaked with a chemotherapy drug. The wafer is placed directly in the brain after a surgeon has removed as much of the tumor as possible. More than one wafer may be implanted, depending on how many tumors are in the brain and how large an area they cover.
The GLIADEL Wafer delivers chemotherapy directly to the tumor site. This localized chemotherapy helps reduce damage to healthy cells. It is given during surgery to remove the tumor. There is no hair loss or extreme fatigue compared to conventional chemotherapy that is delivered through a vein to your entire body.
Side effects with GLIADEL Wafers include seizures, infection, nausea, vomiting, weakness, swelling in the brain, and delayed wound healing from brain surgery. Some of these effects are also possible with brain surgery alone.
Your neurosurgery care team will take precautions before and after surgery to minimize seizures and treat other side effects. In most cases, the benefits of treatment with the GLIADEL Wafer outweigh the side effects.
After you recover from brain surgery and GLIADEL Wafer treatment, your care team will monitor you regularly to see how well the treatment is working.
Dignity Health - St. Rose Dominican provides treatment options like the GLIADEL Wafer in Las Vegas and Henderson, NV, as a part of our neurological services.

Netherlands' dream run in the Fed Cup ended agonisingly short of the final when they lost the deciding doubles rubber of a thrilling semi-final against France in Trelaze.
When Kiki Bertens beat Kristina Mladenovic to put the Dutch 2-1 ahead on Sunday the visitors had one foot in the final but Caroline Garcia levelled it up by beating 257th-ranked Arantxa Rus in straight sets.
Mladenovic and Garcia then teamed up to beat Bertens and Richel Hogenkamp, coming from a set down to win 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 in a nail-biting climax to the weekend.
France have reached their first final since 2005 where they will be up against the Czech Republic, who also needed a final doubles rubber to win in Switzerland.
The Netherlands were unbeaten since 2013 despite a team full of lower-ranked players, beating Australia last year to reach the World Group and stunning Russia in the first round.
Karolina Pliskova and Lucie Hradecka booked the Czech Republic's place in a fifth Fed Cup final when they beat Swiss duo Martina Hingis and Viktorija Golubic 6-2 6-2.
Golubic, ranked 129 in the world, had kept the Swiss in the hunt with two singles wins.
Four-times champions Italy were relegated from the World Group for the first time in 18 years after losing 4-0 in a playoff with Spain who return to the elite after a two-year absence.
Belarus caused an upset by beating Russia 3-1 in their World Group playoff, meaning the Russians are also relegated from the top group for the first time in 18 years.

On August 11, 2016, CEJ co-hosted two sessions at the World Social Forum in Montreal.
CEJ, as a member of the Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature, joined other prominent advocates of the Rights of Nature movement on Wednesday.
The two events, entitled "A World in which Nature has Rights," and "Rights of Nature Forum," explored global movements aimed at creating a new legal framework that extends legal standing to nature. Here's an abbreviated overview:
The first session began with an opening prayer from guest Indigenous Leaders. Osprey Orielle Lake of WECAN then provided the full room of attendees with an overview of the Rights of Nature movement.
Nati Greene of Ecuador followed, giving a hopeful yet realistic account of what the past few years have been like in Ecuador (since the adoption of rights of nature into their constitution). She explained that now people can prosecute those who kill panthers and pollute streams. She told the room about a lawyer who got into a boat and sailed out to serve fishermen who were shark finning. However, she also discussed the realities of a rights-based system as well; that the fight is not over once the rights are recognized. Rights are something that must continually be asserted and defended against. She discussed the importance of the International Tribunals in spreading this awareness and how successful GARN's three previous tribunals have been.
Tom Goldtooth of the Indigenous Environmental Network then spoke from the indigenous perspective. He brought with him the symbolic braided sweet grass. This beautiful plant is used in prayer and as medicine. However, it is getting harder and harder to find in the United States. Tom explained that they now acquire it from their relatives in Canada, but he wonders how much longer it will be available there as well.
Our very own Margaret Stewart, Esq., Manager of our Programs and Operations, then discussed the practical application of rights of nature as it pertains to our current legal systems. She explained the problems with the current environmental regulatory system and used case studies from Pennsylvania and Florida to show how significant establishing legal standing for nature is. She discussed different legal theories that have started us down the road to a rights-based system, such as the public trust doctrine and the precautionary principle, but explained how formal, legal adoption of rights-based policies will address the lack of standing issue currently in our system.
Manari Ushigua, a Sápara leader, then discussed his people's experience in the Amazonian Rainforest of Ecuador. He shared how they live in harmony with Earth and how over-consumption and over-extraction are affecting that harmony. He pointed out that Mother Earth will persevere and will survive whatever we do to her--she just may not include us in that survival.
Lastly, Pablo Salon explained that we must be fighting against anthropocentrism. He also alluded to an interesting correlation between how we treat nature and how we treat women in society.
When discussing his work in attempting to prevent a mega-dam from being built in Bolivia, he conveyed the importance of grassroots efforts and how laws are only one piece of the puzzle. In Bolivia, he said, he has not experienced much success with relying solely on written laws. Instead, he said, large grassroots movements are needed to support these changes.
The first forum ended with a lively discussion between the attendees and the panelists. The topics ranged from media attention around the tribunals, to concerns with the "rights based" approach, to strategic approaches to bring these concepts to local communities.
In the second session, the panelists primarily reiterated their earlier thoughts to a whole new, packed audience.
However, this time Maude Barlow, Canadian author and National Chairperson of the Council of Canadians, joined the panel. She discussed the shortcomings in Canada's water policies and the need to change to how we approach such regulations. She explained that she has spent many years fighting for people's right to clean water. However, once that was adopted by the United Nations, she has since shifted her focus to the intrinsic rights of the water itself. Her experience has shown her that these two things go hand-in-hand--human rights and rights of nature. As she stated, we need to stop worrying about treating water and start worrying about protecting it from the start.
The discussion that followed was just as lively and enthusiastic as the first. The attendees asked about additional rights of nature success stories and how to begin this fight (i.e. with other citizens, with government officials, on the local, state, or federal level?). As our team member, Margaret Stewart, answered, it really is all the above. Attaining rights of nature policies will ultimately be a multifaceted approach that will require both formal adoption of laws and governance systems, but also grassroots support to ensure that those rights are recognized and enforced.

Randy Wold, 58, was an auto mechanic, an excellent golfer, and a bowler who never scored below 200. Then, nearly 10 years ago, when he was suffering from intense chronic pain, he received a surprise diagnosis. His doctor told him he had fibromyalgia.
A neurological disorder that causes chronic pain and fatigue, fibromyalgia strikes mostly women. Of the estimated 5 million adults with fibromyalgia in the U.S., as few as 10% are men. For that reason, the popular perception of it as a women's disease has persisted, even among fellow patients.
"When I first went to a support group meeting, it was all women," says Wold, who is now on the board of the National Fibromyalgia Association – and the only male board member with the disease. "Some didn't want me there."
A neurologist who Wold consulted wouldn't see him, discounting his diagnosis and accusing him of angling to get disability payments.
"It's a tough deal for a man to have fibromyalgia," says Wold, who is no longer able to work and can only occasionally hit the links or the lanes. "One of my best friends doesn't believe I have it," he says. "His wife, who is a doctor, told him men can't get it, that it is in my head. That kind of hurt."
Fibromyalgia Rarer Among Men
It's uncertain what causes fibromyalgia or why so few men suffer from it. Certain types of viral infections, traumas such as car accidents, and emotional stress can trigger it. In some cases, though, it strikes without warning.
Whatever the cause, there are certain biological markers that those with the disorder frequently have in common. According to Muhammad B. Yunus, MD, a professor of medicine at the University of Illinois College of Medicine, fibromyalgia is characterized by an imbalance of chemicals in the brain.
"It is a neurochemical disease," says Yunus, who points out that people with fibromyalgia show a higher than average amount of substance P, a neurotransmitter that signals pain, and a lower than average amount of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that inhibits pain.
Genetics and hormones, says Yunus, also appear to play a role, both in causing the disease and in the gender discrepancy associated with it.
"There are genes that make people more susceptible to pain, and some are related to gender," he says. "And women are more susceptible to pain because estrogen reduces the pain threshold."
That heightened sensitivity to pain may give women higher odds of getting a diagnosis of fibromyalgia.
A common test that doctors perform is to apply a fixed amount of pressure to what are called "tender points": 18 specific points on the body, designated by the American College of Rheumatology, where even a light touch can cause pain.
At least 11 of those spots must produce a significant pain response in order to merit a diagnosis. But because men have a higher threshold for pain, they often don't meet the criteria.
"Women seem literally more tender than men," Yunus says.
How Fibromyalgia Affects Men
Chronic pain may be its chief symptom, but fibromyalgia sometimes comes with additional complications. Chronic fatigue and difficulty sleeping are common complaints, as are headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, and restless legs syndrome. Memory problems and difficulty concentrating often come with the territory as well.
In general, Yunus says, men have fewer symptoms than women. They tend to have less from fatigue and they have pain in fewer places. "It's much less common for men to hurt all over," Yunus says. "But in many ways, men are more affected, more bothered by fibromyalgia."
The reason for that may be more sociological than biological.
Undiagnosed Cases
"Men don't come to the doctor nearly as much as women," says Michael J. Pellegrino, MD, a fibromyalgia expert at Ohio Pain and Rehab Specialists and an expert on WebMD's Fibromyalgia Exchange. "Why? Gender stereotypes."
"Men tell themselves, 'I'm not supposed to go to the doctor, I'm not supposed to complain.' So a lot of the men I see, their wives make them come," says Pellegrino, who estimates that up to 20% of men with the disorder are undiagnosed.
The longer men put off seeing the doctor, the more they put themselves at risk of developing complications that can affect their work, their hobbies, their relationships. Pellegrino, who has fibromyalgia himself, says that depression is not uncommon among men who have delayed getting a diagnosis.
"Men [with fibromyalgia] often feel broken, even suicidal," says Gavin Levy, an Austin, Texas-based writer who was diagnosed with fibromyalgia four years ago, at age 33. "We've all been there. It feels like your masculinity has been taken away to a degree. You are a provider and protector, then suddenly that role is reversed."
The most important thing a man with fibromyalgia can do, Pellegrino emphasizes, is to get diagnosed. The sooner that happens, the sooner he can start treatment.
Living With Fibromyalgia
There is no cure for fibromyalgia, but there are medications that can help curb its symptoms. Equally important, though, are lifestyle changes. Exercising and eating well are essential, says Yunus.
"There is a clear relationship between overweight and pain and fatigue. Overweight is a risk factor for fibromyalgia," Yunus says. A recent study linked obesity and a greater chance of having fibromyalgia. That does not mean that everyone with fibromyalgia is overweight, or that extra pounds, by themselves, cause fibromyalgia.
Wold hits the treadmill for at least 10 to 15 minutes a day. He also does some light weightlifting to keep his strength up and his own weight down. He even gets out on the golf course once in a while, knowing that it will wear him out.
"When I'm done, it makes me feel better," he says. "It reminds me that a little of my old life is still there."

I always scout out the new hair and beauty trends following the new year and although I may not always be a fan of some, I do try and give the concept my best shot ;) It's not easy sometimes to get these looks the way you might see online or in a magazine for example, but you also might be surprised how some of these hair trends are easier to achieve than they appear. Today I thought I would share some of my fav new hair trends of 2016- let me know what you think! Plus- as an added bonus, make sure to check out The Beauty Closet's recommended hair styling products of the week below from Scwarzkopf. You can utilize both of these awesome products reviewed today, to get my fav looks as well :)
.1 Easy Low-Pony:
This is a cinch to accomplish and you can don this look if you're pressed for little time. Utilize a transparent polishing pomade and pull back your hair loosely into a mid-to-upper neck ponytail. Instead of finishing the ponytail and pulling all of your hair through, leave a couple of sections partially through the elastic around the nape of your neck.
You can also tuck all of the ends back under the partial pony for a sleeker look or knot the ends to create a more unique twist [ie. furthest pic on the left]. Finish with a bit more pomade if needed. Looking for a great product to help you get this look? Give Schwarzkopf's sylisteULTIME transparent polishing pomade a try :) Get more info about this item below!
2. Sleek Pony with Metallic Accents:
This style is still majorly "in" and I'm actually a huge fan of this one. Not only because it's beyond easy to achieve, but it's a sleek and classic look that works for most hair types and cuts. The only drawback for this one as similar to the look first mentioned before, these styles will be limited to mid/medium to longer length styles and not easy or perhaps possible for those with shorter hair cuts.
You can get this beautiful classic hair look by parting your hair down the middle after applying a heat-protecting balm or serum and running a flat iron through your hair a couple of times. Pull the hair back at the very top of your neck after parting, and use a simple metallic accessory to secure. Use your iron and go through the pony a few more times and then follow with a polishing pomade as well. Viola! :)
3. Pulled back Sleek & Wet Look:
No time or just not having the greatest hair day in general?! This is THE easy, simple way to go. You can get this look by either styling when wet or dry, but I've found this to be much easier to achieve when it's still wet. I also go a bit heavy on the creamier products and start out with a gel, but make sure to apply only on the upper top-half of you head- not going past your ears. I then allow the hair to dry a bit and apply a mousse to the same upper-section of my hair/head and let this dry again. Once the products have dried, you can go through the lower half of your hair with a flat iron or heating element to smooth and straighten it out.
4. Voluminous Bouffant:
These have come back in a big way! This is one of those hair styles that looks more difficult to do on your own than it really is :) Start out with putting your hair in 3 different sections: your bangs area, the largest lower back section, and the middle section [make a line starting on one side by your ear and go across to the other ear to create this middle part]. Take your middle section and comb down the hair, moving towards the scalp/teasing this section until you get the desired mega-volume.
Connect the middle and bottom sections and then pull the front section over the 2 lower-combined parts. The other method you can use to get this look is to create a french twist: after parting your hair in the middle- take your hair, sweeping it back and slightly off to the side. You can use a bobby pin vertically [going from the bottom] on the sleeked-over side to help keep the hair in place.
Gather up your hair in one hand while twisting & pulling up. At this point, you may place more bobby pins along the twist- focusing on the base and placing them vertically as you did the first pin. Take the ends and tuck them in or leave out a couple of small strands/pieces to accent each side as pictured above. Need a product to get the extra boost of volume this style requires?! Try Schwarzkopf's stylisteULTIME Biotin+Volume & Texture magic volume powder. Make sure to get the lowdown on this item below :)
BIOTIN+Volume & Texture magic volume powder
When it comes to hair care, Schwarzkopf is one of my fav brands! They really know quality and I've always felt that they have set themselves apart from others because of it. You don't have to break the bank either to get quality salon hair products ;) This unique texturing and volumizing powder is super easy to use and practically fool-proof. The well-designed and easy to use application method lets you get out just the right amount of powder by lightly sprinkling in the scalp/root area of your hair.
I like flipping my head over once I apply the product and shaking it a bit and then teasing a little underneath as well. You will get instant volume with this product- it really does work :) There's a nice pleasant and easy scent and it feels cool when first applied, leaving your scalp feeling refreshed too. If you need a boost or touch-up, this is the perfect companion to take with you on-the-go. I would recommend this one for most hair types- trust me on this one ladies...you will LOVE this product!
transparent polishing pomade
I'm majorly picky with hair care products- especially when it comes to polishing pomades for example. Why? Many similar items out on the market today are either made with poor quality, disregard for unhealthy ingredients, or are a tad bit on the costly side. You might have experienced this issue yourself and sometimes felt that it was time to just throw in the towel when it came to finding an affordable, quality hair care product. But there are still some great ones out there- Schwarzkopf will restore your hopes again that quality still exists, with this awesome polishing pomade!
I absolutely LOVE the smell and great smoothing, sleek effect that you can achieve with this product. There's a unique pinkish-luminous sheen to the polish that makes it look really pretty inside the container, but it goes on absolutely clear :) This is perfect for getting the sleek back pony styles I shared above or just to take flyaways or finish a flat-ironed style too. At just around $7, you can achieve a trendy salon look at an affordable prize = win-win :)

text: Lionsgate Entertainment is thinking about opening a Hunger Games amusement park, because nothing says "amusement" like a "kill or be killed" mentality. The company's CEO, Jon Feltheimer, says the studio has been "approached in two territories about potential theme park opportunities" it's currently pursuing. And while the general idea of a theme park makes sense for such a thriving franchise—The Hunger Games grossed $690 million last year alone—obviously, it's difficult to see how it would translate into an attraction. It could choose to gloss over the more macabre aspects of the books, sure, but it's not as if there's a lot of fun in Katniss Everdeen's life, other than the fact that she sometimes gets to wear dresses that are on fire. If the park recreated Panem's fancy Capitol, for instance, would food vendors deal with the notion that, in the books, locals eat until they're full, take a pill that makes them throw up, then eat some more? You know, in addition to the fact that the entire thing is premised around repeatedly trying to kill teenagers? That's not very fun stuff.

The office is changing ... again./
Since the mid-twentieth century the workplace has changed dramatically and not only because the purpose of the work changed, but because the means to do work changed, together with acknowledgments on how architecture can influence a pleasant and more productive environment .
Once upon a time there were clusters of small private office rooms, for few employees, and then large number of employees within corporations dictated the idea of open space with cubicles. This layout could still provide some privacy, which completely disappeared with the advent of large open spaces. At that time some research studies proved that we need to connect with others and that we create an internal model of the experience of those we come into contact with. Isolation couldn't help people to accomplish what groups of talented people might by pooling their knowledge, talents, insights and energy. .
But going over limits has been proved being deleterious. There are times, in spite of the brain being a social organ, when collaboration is distinctly brain-unfriendly. The reasons are different. Think about negative emotion and how easily they can spread. Consider how much weaker personalities can feel overwhelmed by dominant ones. And what about the pre-existing issue on privacy ?
So, now, offices are changing again, and not only to solve the privacy issue, but to be aligned with the recent outcomes in behavioral and social psychology and cognitive science. If we consider creativity, and how much important this requisite is in finding out-of-the box solutions, we need to fit an office with isolated slots, in order to ensure creative - and often introverted - people be free from interruption or dissipation of energy on social matters which are unrelated to work. People engaged in creative works need freedom in managing their work schedule and, therefore, their work environment.
If previous workplace design relied on cutting-edge technology to tie it all together, now contemporary technologies work on opposite direction. New solutions allow a precise control of sound and light propagation even in space with no physical boundaries.
Fast and efficient wireless connection are making remote work easier and not just possible, so that people can attend meetings while at home or even during commuting. Once you experience flexibility at work you can't go back to a rigid frame anymore and this tendency is building up a different concept of work environment. Flexibility requires offices to offer multiple choices and provide private and individual solutions alternate with communal spaces, as there are times when people can and should collaborate productively and times when people should be wise enough to leave each other alone. Acknowledging that different personalities have different roles to play and allowing each one to get the appropriate environment, to utilize its talents, is critical for true innovation.
There is another important contribution by technology: improved wireless communication makes remote work possible so that people can attend meetings while being at home or even while commuting. So why not conceiving offices with smaller area than needed? There are companies that are shrinking spaces by reducing the footage per person and also reducing the number of desks, despite the actual number of employees. High rent is another important issue and some companies in New York are looking for creative ways to cut the costs, by promoting new concepts of co-working and even recurring to bartering. All strategies to help small and large firms to handle unstable economic situation, like starting a new business (the former) or facing tough economic times (the latter).
Besides a new philosophy of space planning is spreading. The recent product design let the end-user personalize objects and furniture, and choose geometry, finish, assembly to get personalized layouts. Some open-end solutions let the user perceiving his own affordance and decide his own way to use an object. Everybody can contribute to shape the environment and build up the identity of the brand he/she works for. Flexibility is he most important issue and not only to embrace a fluent, dynamic and partecipatory space concept, but also to foster a reduced discrimination of classes, by considering interchangeable working slots, where your desk will be somebody's desk in the future and vice versa. Employees involved in creating their work environment and dealing with less hierarchical issues are more likely to be happy, as they can identify themselves with the culture of the organization, and not just follow unwritten codes or rules.
Good mood is a requirement for being more productive, and, although this is a quality very difficult to measure, it does effect efficiency and efficacy of production (intellectual and not). Architecture and interior design contribute a lot to get these results, but they have to accomplish a very delicate job, that is to say consistency with the real policy of the firm. No spacial concept can get positive accomplishment in well-being and productivity if there are bosses, and not leaders, at the top of the system.

Promescent is widely regarded as one of the best over the counter treatments for premature ejaculation.
I've tried all of the most popular desensitizing sprays in the United States and Europe. And so far I've found Promescent to be the most effective and reliable for 3 main reasons:
- It helped me last between 10 and 20 minutes every time. A solid improvement from my usual 1 to 5 minutes.
- The numbing action still left me with enough sensation to fully enjoy sex, and it didn't cause any loss of erection.
- It didn't transfer to my partner, and we could use it with oral sex.
Having road tested so many desensitizing sprays I've now become somewhat of an expert on them (I know, what a thing to become an expert on!). So I'll be talking about both how it works and how it compares to other sprays.
My experience
I ordered both the trial and standard size bottles from the official promescent website, and they arrived within a few days. Importantly, they were sent in a discreet unmarked package, with each spray in a separate box inside.
You also get a useful leaflet with instructions, ingredients and the safety information you might need to know.
Applying it the first time
As always, I first tested it on my forearm and waited to see how my skin reacted. No problem there, so I went ahead with spraying my penis.
I gently rubbed it onto my penis head, finding no tingling sensation, which is a good sign. It was easy to rub in, and then I waited. 10 minutes later, I used a damp cloth to give myself a quick wipe, and was good to go.
The instructions tell you to apply 3 to 10 sprays, but I found 1 spray was plenty. I later tried 2 and 3 sprays as an experiment, but the numbing was too strong.
My first test
I could definitely feel some numbing on the area where I'd applied it, so I'm glad I didn't rub it into the whole penis. But I had no problems getting an erection with some help from my partner, even with the numbing feeling there.
And during sex, I still felt enjoyable sensations as usual, just without that extreme sensitivity that I often feel on the head. This is a particular problem for me at the start – that initial squeeze at penetration can sometimes set me off on its own.
So I was pleased to feel that sensation lessened, which helped me get past the initial difficulty and into more flowing sex. And that first time I tried it, I lasted considerably longer than normal – just over 10 minutes! So we were both very pleased with the result.
Ongoing tests
I then tested the Promescent several more times over the course of a week. I didn't use any other kind of delay products or techniques during that time; I just used the spray and kept an eye on the time.
My usual lasting time during penetrative sex with nothing to help delay ejaculation was anything between 1 and 5 minutes on average.
And during my tests, I found that it extended the lasting time during actual intercourse to between 10 and 20 minutes, every time.
We also tested it with oral sex and found that as long as you wipe yourself with a wet cloth first, there was no transference.
No side effects
I experienced no side effects at all from using the spray, which was great considering how many sprays can cause issues.
Importantly, we could both still enjoy the sensation of sex instead of me being too numb to feel anything. Many others I've tried strip you of virtually all enjoyable sensations.
Having said that, when I experimented with 3 sprays and rubbed it into the whole penis, the numbing was definitely too strong for me. So I think it's a case of once you find the right dose for you personally, the metered pump will ensure you avoid too much numbing.
As you can probably imagine then, I was impressed with Promescent. It did what it was supposed to do and created no extra problems like transference to my partner or erection loss. And most importantly, I was able to have sex for much longer than with no help.
How does Promescent work?
Promescent is a topical anesthetic in spray form. So you apply it directly to your penis before sex to reduce your sensitivity and hopefully have better control.
The ingredient which does the desensitizing is Lidocaine. Lidocaine is also used in some other delay products, but there's a difference in the way Promescent is supposed to work.
The company behind it – the aptly named 'Absorption Pharmaceuticals' – claims they've created a mixture which is absorbed quickly and effectively by the skin. So the most sensitive nerve endings are directly targeted by the spray.
Using the spray
If you're planning on using Promescent, here are some useful points to bear in mind:
- It needs to be sprayed around 5 to 10 minutes before you have sex.
- The recommended dose is 3 to 5 sprays. But like me, you might find that's too much and actually only need 1 or 2.
- Make sure you follow the instructions on rubbing the spray in properly to the underside of your penis.
- I found it lasted for well over an hour before slowly wearing off.
- It's FDA compliant, so they have made it to the safety standards recommended by the FDA for these type of sprays.
- It has undergone clinical trials, which found it to be effective and safe.
- It works consistently – I found it significantly increased my endurance every time.
- It doesn't transfer to your partner if you use it correctly.
- The metered spray bottle will apply exactly the same dose every time. So once you know how many sprays work best for you, you can easily repeat it.
- You can use it on demand. So unlike taking medication, you only need to use it when you have sex.
- It works quickly, so you can discreetly apply it in the bathroom just before you have sex.
- It's available without a prescription.
- Responsive and helpful customer service.
- It's not a cure for premature ejaculation, and you need to use it every time you have sex.
- As with all desensitizing sprays, if you apply too much, it can cause too much numbing, which can affect your erection and pleasure. But the metered pump helps stop that happening once you work out how much you need.
Promescent helped me to control myself during sex surprisingly well. I say surprisingly because so many other products kind of do the job, but often disappoint in one way or another.
It extended my lasting time to between 10 and 20 minutes, which was a satisfying improvement from the usual 1 to 5 minutes. Importantly, there were no side effects for me or my partner.
It still allowed me to actually feel the pleasure of sex even though it works by reducing the sensitivity. You can apply it just a few minutes before sex, and discreetly if you need to.
So as far as temporary cures to premature ejaculation go, this one gets a big thumbs up.

text: I am a sucker for art jewelry, especially if it is made by an artisan that I meet at a festival or shop. Some of my favorite earings are hand melted/formed glass and wire creations from art festivals in Colorado and Alabama. So one day I decided to give it a try with my art. I created miniature reproductions of some of my paintings and put them in oval and square pendants. Some turned out beautifully, some not so much (hey, you never know until you try!). But what a fun way to enjoy art!

BEIS published findings from Wave 21 of the Energy and Climate Change Public Attitudes Tracker on 4 May 2017.
The report presents headline findings from March/April 2017, and makes comparisons with data from Wave 17, conducted at the same point last year. For certain questions, the report elaborates on the reasons people gave for their stated positions.
The data were collected using face-to-face interviews with a representative sample of 2,180 households in the UK.
Key findings include:
? "The level of concern over climate change has remained stable…seven in ten (71%) said they were very or fairly concerned about climate change."
? "Worries over paying for energy bills have remained relatively consistent over the last two years. At Wave 21, 30% were either very or fairly worried about paying for their energy bills."
? Similar to previous waves, "A quarter claimed to give a lot of thought to saving energy at home (25%), whilst half claimed to give it a fair amount of thought (52%).
? "Support for renewable energy has been consistently high…at around 75-80%."
? "Six in ten claimed to be aware of the Energy Performance Certificate (58%), but only 7% said they knew the exact rating of their property."
* This is a summary. Always check and reference the primary source when using the information.
