Clean, non-toxic foundation is a hot topic. When you bring up clean beauty, it's the one product that just about everyone wants to talk about. Foundation is so personal. Women think of it as their security blanket. It helps cover up anything we don't want the world to see. It's our base. It protects us. Which is why it's hard to give up the tried and true.
But ironically, this super hero product in its traditional form is full of toxins, silicon, and parabens (in other words, it's not saving us, it's hurting us). So, we set out to find the best clean foundations and concealers. What we found surprised us. Not only did we oftentimes like them better than their big brand counterparts, but we fell in love with how they actually act as skincare, doing good for our skin, while providing coverage. Now, that's the real definition of hero.
Sarah Rose, renown clean makeup artist, was our guide through the process. She brought over all of her clean foundation favorites and broke them down for us. We talked about coverages (light versus medium versus heavy), formulation (stick versus liquid), and how to best apply them. If you missed our Instagram Live, or if you just want a guide to refer back to, here is everything you need to know about clean, non-toxic foundation in one easy place:
Vapour Luminous Foundation – "Designed for dryer skin-types, this sheer, yet build-able foundation stick provides continuous hydration and a glow from within. Vapour's waterless formulas are 100% natural, at least 70% organic, and use 30% mineral and essential oil ingredients to deliver an extremely skin-care oriented approach to makeup. I find these foundations to be pivotal in helping one transition out of being reliant on a foundation due to their Herbal Enlightenment Complex which consists of soothing lotus, antibacterial tulsi, and reparative frankincense." -Sarah Rose
W3LL People Narcissist Stick Foundation – "This creamy, stick foundation is mid-to-full coverage and give you a luminous, pearly glow from within. Since there's aloe and camellia (otherwise known as green tea), it's particularly fitting for sensitive or problem prone skin-types who can benefit from the formula's soothing, anti-inflammatory qualities and build-able coverage. The super portable stick also doubles as a concealer when applied directly from the stick using a fingertip." – Sarah Rose
Light Coverage
Vapour Soft Focus (pump) Foundation – "Massage just half a pump of this magic formula into the skin, as you would a moisturizer. It will even out skin-tone for an incredibly natural looking glow. This lightweight formula is more appropriate for oily or problem-prone skin, giving fuller coverage and sitting lighter on the skin than the Vapour Luminous Stick. It's therapeutic formula will help fade post-blemish pigmentation with lycopene from a tomato, as well as provide relief for redness or inflammation with soothing camellia and lotus." – Sarah Rose
RMS "Un" Cover-up – "Rose Marie Swift's experience on set and backstage is reflected in her beautifully formulated "un"cover-up. This coconut oil based foundation/concealer hybrid can be sheered out when used over a face oil, to create flawless looking skin. The texture evens out and fills in pores without looking like makeup on the skin." – Sarah Rose
Kjaer Weis Foundation – "Kirsten Weis fine tuned this foundation to perfection. This formula is super velvety and lightweight, so it can be built up to any level of coverage or sheered out when used over a face oil. Whether you apply by hand or with a brush, this stunningly packaged foundation will be well loved. Kjaer Weis's products are refillable, so Mother Earth loves it too!" – Sarah Rose
Gressa Minimalist Corrective Serum Foundation – "This incredible serum foundation combines a face oil with mineral pigment to treat the skin while offering quite a bit of coverage! Broccoli seed oil provides the best dry, light-weight base that allows it to be semi-matte. My favorite trick with this one is to combine it with a few drops of your favorite face oil to customize the formula for your skin type, and to sheer out the coverage if you prefer something a bit lighter and dewy-er." – Sarah Rose
Mineral Powder
W3LL People Altruist Foundation Powder – "Packed with freeze-flash dried aloe, this foundation powder is incredibly soothing–making it suitable for the most irritated, problem-prone skin. When your skin warms up, the therapeutic aloe and minerals activate and treat inflammation. This powder can also be combined with your favorite face oil to turn it into a liquid treatment foundation that addresses your personal skin needs." – Sarah Rose
Jane Iredale Pressed Powder – "This finely milled pressed foundation powder is great on its own or to set and perfect your look for long-wear. The pressed format of this powder makes it perfect for on the go!" – Sarah Rose
RMS "Un" Cover-up – "This brightening concealer is based in coconut oil, which hydrates and repairs the skin while you're wearing it. Use it under the eyes or just in targeted areas, such as blemishes or redness, give you a healthy and even radiant complexion." – Sarah Rose
W3LL People Bio Correct Concealer – "Packed with aloe, algae, and caffeine, this concentrated concealer treats under eye puffiness and dark circles, while also being a perfect blend to treat blemishes. A little bit goes a long way, so use sparingly!" – Sarah Rose
Special thanks to Sarah Rose!

Alzheimer's affects memory, thinking, behavior and ability to perform everyday activities. The number of people living with this disease around the world is estimated at 35.6 million, and it is also estimated that this number will duplicate by 2030. Alzheimer's and other types of dementia are the top cause of disability in seniors. This disease is excruciatingly incapacitating for the people who have it and devastating for their families.
A recent survey commissioned by the Alzheimer association revealed that 28% of families caring for a member with Alzheimer cut back on their own medical and basic needs expenses because they were not prepared for the cost of the disease. Having a medical insurance to help you and your family cope the expenses of a long-term illness is essential.

Girls in Silicon Valley, long ago realized they could walk into most bars and clubs as if they were the second coming of Sofia Vergara. They knew that their female competition would be neither fierce or plentiful, elevating them to the role of a "49er" - a four who acts like a nine. I hate these girls. I see them shoot down nice guys and then immediately interrupt them so that they think I'm hitting on them, only to use this interruption to scoot into their space in the bar and turn my back on them. Then I like to talk loudly into my phone about how "there's not ONE, even MILDLY attractive girl in this bar" and how "I'd rather masturbate to a picture of Rosie O'Donnell than take home any of these office punchlines."
This makes me feel better about myself. It will one day be included in my inspirational book, "Berating Others On Your Way to a Life of Happiness" (only available on paperback and audio cassette tape).
As a prolific "approacher," I have spent my life checking out the girls. But I bet you didn't know that I also check out the guys. I mean, I don't undress them with my imagination, linger too long, or stare longingly into their eyes, but I do a quick once-over that's fast enough to figure out everything I need to know. It's important. You should check to see how good-looking the guys are, how aggressive they seem, whether they dance, and then allot your confidence accordingly. You shouldn't immediately cut bait and hop to the next bar when seeing a 10 guy to 1 girl ratio. Sometimes a place is filled with dweebs, wall-flowers, hipsters, or so many unattractive guys, that the few girls in the establishment have been waiting for a decent guy like you to show up.
If the place is filled with nerds, YOU be the aggressor. If the place is filled with douchebags, YOU be the one with a future. If the place is filled with wall flowers, YOU be the one unafraid of dancing on the dance floor.
While not everyone is born confident, you can learn by tricking yourself. I assume every girl in the club is staring at me. While they are probably staring at how I'm still standing, or asking themselves why I have a wet, urine-like stain around my crotch area, or why my shirt is ten sizes too small, I chalk it up as a win. I think of myself as Daniel Craig when he shirtlessly rises out of the ocean in Casino Royale and immediately wins over the lonely Middle-Eastern girl staring out from her balcony. Or, I think of myself as Luke Perry in 90210, scrunching my forehead into a sexy, wrinkled mess as I give the ladies a look of 'you don't know what I'm thinking, but you should want to f*ck the sh*t out of me'. As you can see, I have a tireless imagination. I even sometimes imagine that I'm Ariel in Little Mermaid, combing a dinglehopper through my hair.
Sizing up the competition doesn't just apply to bars and clubs, it can also apply to cities and countries. Having just counted on my fingers how many countries I've now visited - 24 - (later you'll see how I didn't have to mention that number, but I wanted to work in a way to humbly brag about myself and exploits #humblebrag) I've found that many unattractive guys have used this tactic to figure out where they will find their future wife. I have seen UGLY foreigners with girls in third-world countries that would be DIMES in Silicon Valley. These uglies have gone from their first-world confines where they couldn't compete with good-looking guys and taken up residence in third-world countries with minimal competition, like Peru (Joran Van Der Sloot anyone?) or Thailand (ugly balding fat guys anyone?).
I'm not saying move to Bolivia, but just because a bar or area has a hampering ratio doesn't mean all hope is lost. Sometimes it can work in your favor. Tips I've told you from the past - confidence, learning to dance, short-term memory, and major alcohol consumption is still important in winning over girls, but checking out what you're up against can give you an extra leg up on strategy and confidence.
So next time someone says to you, "look at the buns on that one!" You tell him with the utmost confidence, "yeah, he must work out."

Squize (over at gamingyourway.com) has found the list on Gamasutra.
I feel (I'm not rocket scientist) that browser based 3D (especially Unity) is
going to be the next big thing (or is now). The ranks of bedroom and indie 3D game developers will thin out as the technologies get more expensive and difficult to develop for though. I'd love to see Mochi and GameJacket ads in all browser-based game/multimedia content. That will just help drive up the eCPM for everyone.

The fiber arts classes at Custom Handweavers include beginning, intermediate and advanced hand weaving, tapestry weaving, Navajo weaving, spinning, and Temari. Floor looms are available for onsite rental and student use, with four to twelve shafts and weaving widths to 60". An extensive library of weaving classics is available for student and professional use. Looms from most of the loom manufacturers may be customized and purchased.
General Information
Weaving(click on "sample" for photos of examples)
Beginning Weavers
An introduction to weaving for the novice. Learn to set up and operate
a four-harness loom. The student learns to read basic patterns, weave a
sampler and a set of placemats.
|Pattern Weaves
Each student prepares a fine warp of ten traditional threadings arranged in stripes. Different treadlings are used to produce a tremendous variety of patterns. An excellent course for students who have done some weaving and wish to continue with more pattern techniques.
|Patterned Double Weave
Students learn the many possibilities of double weaving on four harnesses. This includes double layers, double width, tubes, padded forms and patterned double weave or Finnweave, a pick-up weave. This is an exciting course for all weavers! (sample)
|Color and Weave Effect
Exciting color-and-weave patterns are developed with various warp and weft color sequences with a simple weave structure. (sample)
|A Color Blanket
Weave a color gamp in closely-related values of six hues.
|Lace Weaves
Explore three ways to make lace on the loom: finger-manipulated, loom-controlled and denting. (sample)
This weave structure is a plain weave (tabby) foundation with a secondary pattern weft woven in designs planned in blocks related to twill designs. Overshot is well known through many Colonial Coverlet Designs. (sample)
|Summer and Winter
A block weave that can be woven on 4, 6, 8 or more harnesses. A design with two blocks requires four harnesses. Each additional harness gives the possibility of one more block. This weave structure produces a closely-interlaced fabric with good wearing qualities.
Traditionally, a densely-packed warp-faced weave where the weft is woven with a thick'n'thin technique. However, this same technique may also be used for interestingly designed rugs where the weft dominates. Suitable for placemats, runners and, of course, rugs in four and eight harnesses. (sample)
An intriguing block weave in four harnesses with elements of overshot that has many interesting applications for any weaver. (sample)
A Four-Day Workshop — Usually taught on Saturday and Sunday of successive weekends
This workshop gives you enough information for you to attempt larger and more complex pieces on your own. On the first weekend, the structure of the Navajo loom is explored, and you plan your project, mount a warp on the loom and begin weaving. Then you take the loom home to weave on your own. On the second weekend, you continue weaving your piece and learn finishing techniques. $450 for one student; $300 each for 2-3 students; $75 deposit on loom may be applied to purchase of loom or refunded at end of class.
An introduction to spinning, starting with a drop spindle, but with the main emphasis on learning to spin comfortably on a wheel. Sort and prepare a fleece for spinning. Learn to handle a variety of natural fibers. Wheels are available. One-on-one instruction. $40 per hour.
Learn the Japanese art of decorating hand-covered or wrapped-thread balls with woven stitches in geometric patterns. They may be used as gifts throughout the year and add a joyful spot of color in any home. One-on-one instruction. $40 per hour.
Minimum of five participants required. The reason is so each participant can dress the loom in a different manner, yet all will weave a section on each loom — thus being able to fully explore the possibilities of different patterns without having to re-thread and tie up the loom each time.
We have a teacher who comes in twice a month, on the first and third Saturdays, to teach tapestry weaving. Classes are 10:30 to 3:30. Please contact us for cost, materials list and other information. You may bring your own table-top loom or purchase one from us.

VDI IOPS: Accelerating performance at a cost
When implementing VDI , a key consideration is how many IOPS should be allotted per desktop. However, providing desktops with enough IOPS so that the performance isn't compromised can be costly. In this video, VDI expert Brian Madden explains VDI IOPS requirements and argues the VDI performance shouldn't be sacrificed for a lower cost. Watch the video on VDI IOPS or read the transcript below.
For desktop virtualization for VDI, performance is way more important than capacity. … In enterprise storage this [may be] a general trend, but we absolutely have this in the desktop world. If you think about it … for server virtualization how many VMs are you putting on one host? Four? Six? Eight? Twelve? Twenty? Some smallish single-digit, two-digit number? With desktop virtualization, we're putting like, 200, 300 [VMs] per host. That's a lot of copies of Windows. Every one of those copies of Windows is having its kernel, and its driver, and its copies of Word, and its cache, and all that kind of stuff [copied]. And it's interesting … if you do the math -- let's look at IOPS. Even a 5400 rpm drive (like the slowest desktop drive) is 50 to 80 IOPS. This is our magnetic, spinning, regular, old-fashioned, 10-year-old desktop hard drive.
More on VDI IOPS
VDI IOPS cost concerns
VDI storage performance and IOPS
So now we want to do some VDI, and put all these users on our servers, so let's start doing some math. So we break out our napkin, [we say] "Okay, I've got 50 IOPS per desktop." I'm going with the oldest slowest number, the slowest number on that chart, which is 50. Fifty IOPS per desktop, 200 desktops per host, so that's 10,000 IOPS per host. I've got six hosts (I'm making these numbers up), and I need 60,000 IOPS. So, I just call up my vendor to find what the cost is, and [it is far too expensive]. … So go back to the drawing board. I look at VMware and say "Fifty IOPS per desktop? You don't need 50, you need seven IOPS per desktop." We've got economies that scale -- 7 IOPS per desktop means I only need 1400 IOPS per host, which means I need 8400 IOPS total. How much does it cost me to buy 8400 IOPS? Hey, I can afford that. … Because if seven IOPS per user works, then why are we all putting SSDs on our laptops? And it's funny because we've got this pressure, you know? We've got this guy who sold us VDI, and one of the things he said was "VDI, it saves you money." So you can't go back to your management who bought off on VDI on the premise they're saving money and tell them you need 600 bucks per user just for storage. That doesn't work out for saving money. …
By the way, the way you fix [the cost problem] is not by hacking down your IOPS. The way you fix that is you don't try to save money with VDI.

Parma, OH Posthumously grant Jim Konya the Key to the City
This petition made change with 1,784 supporters!
"A lot of people think of him as some crazy heavy-metal badass in satanic rock band T-shirts," says Bill Peters, a heavy-metal DJ at WJCU 88.7/FM who befriended Konya when he would call in to the radio station to make song requests. "But the Jim I know is the kind of person who would offer rides to strangers at the end of the night – a good person and very giving."
For over three decades Jim Konya played a vital role as the heart and soul of the Cleveland metal music scene and has effected those abroad as well. Konya was ever the entertainer, be it just a funny answering machine message or throwing a pie fight during a concert, he was always there for us and there for anyone who needed him.
Many of the younger kids remember the hulking Parma giant as the first person they talked to when going to a show, no matter the band or the venue Jim somehow was always there, always spotting a new face and a new shirt, always there to shake someone's hand an throw them the horns. He was also the first person to give, Jim gave his entire life; not just in his performance or material good, but in his kindness. Whenever someone was a straggler he was there to say hello. Whenever someone stranded he was there to find a way home; whenever someone was down he was there to make them laugh, whenever someone was having a good time he was there to make them have a better one.
He knew many faces, he knew all of our faces; he may not have known all of our names but we each seemed to have a unique nickname from him even from just one encounter, you could go months missing shows and simply run into by chance and you could in his face he remembered you and he was there to throw you the horns ask where you bought your shirt.
I remember once, Jim took me and a friend to lunch, he paid for it all. He wanted to do it out curiosity, just to see who I was, to see if I was what my facade says I am. I knew even before that the generosity of that man, and after that while we still talked I witnessed it over and over again. We now, the people who have had him in our life, we now have the chance to repay him.
Konya bled, sweat, and scolded for Parma. He was the man from Parma, and Konya IS Parma. Every bit of him that could remind someone hearkening back to the old Ghoulardi era.. Par-Ma. People in Thailand, Indonesia, Pacific Islands, people who don't even know a word of english know one word after tour encounters... They know the word Parma. They get that from him.
That is why I am making this petition, to give back, to have the city give back, he was already welcome in ours homes whenever he wished; but now it's time we symbolize that. Parma, OH. Posthumously honor a great man and a great citizen of your city, give him the key.

Roberta Diaz Brinton, PhD, director of the Center for Innovation in Brain Science at the University of Arizona Health Sciences, received a $450,000 grant to advance her groundbreaking clinical development of the first regenerative therapeutic for Alzheimer's disease.
The funding from the Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation (ADDF) will advance Dr. Brinton's work on neurogenesis, the process of growing new signaling cells, known as neurons, in Alzheimer's patients.
In Alzheimer's disease, patients lose a significant number of neurons in specific regions of the brain. With more than a decade of ADDF funding, Dr. Brinton, who specializes in the bioenergetic and regenerative systems of the brain, discovered that allopregnanolone, a steroid found in the brain, stimulates the reproduction of stem cells. Stem cells regularly divide to repair and replace worn out or damaged tissue.
In preclinical studies, Dr. Brinton demonstrated that allopregnanolone promotes neurogenesis, restores cognitive function and reduces Alzheimer's pathology in the brain. A recent clinical trial is generating encouraging results in a small group of volunteers and now Dr. Brinton will conduct a larger clinical trial to evaluate the biological effect of allopregnanolone dosing. The new funding supports the manufacture of allopregnanolone for Dr. Brinton's clinical trial.

One of Groupon's head honchos is leaving the company.
In a rather sudden move, President and Chief Operating Officer Rob Solomon is stepping down and returning to Woodside, Calif. in Silicon Valley.
The former Yahoo exec joined Groupon last year, moving to Chicago to help guide the group buying website during a pinnacle period of growth.
Founder Andrew Mason sent a company e-mail Tuesday announcing Solomon's sudden departure, saying, "Rob is moving on, taking his family back to God's Country."
Reasons for the move vary. Some suspect the job became too big for Solomon, who came to Chicago while Groupon was still small, while others suspect his family wanted to return to California.
In the e-mail, Mason said Solomon will remain as COO until a replacement is found.
Groupon grew from 200 employees to 6,500 and from 3 million subscribers to more than 70 million during Solomon's time with the company, Mason said in the e-mail.
Last week, Groupon was said to be valued at close to $25 billion ahead of an expected initial public offering.
"I've learned an enormous amount from Rob; Groupon wouldn't be the same without him," Mason said.

Wandering, broken open, heart falling apart, some things never change... circa autumn 1992, Manikaran, Northern India... with love (thank you to my sweet friend Raina for sharing the memory with me).
This yogi was so sweet and nurturing to me. We were just sort of living in the woods and he would always be up before me, making chapati and feeding me. I never saw him eat (apparently he had a few teaspoons of milk and rice every day for the last 50+ years; he was allegedly around 80) but he made sure the crazy blue eyed white boy was fed and loved and cared for.... so precious.

Shop Local | Cove Boutique
As we tour some of our Austin favorites this week during the SXSW Festival, there are some newcomers to the Texas capital's shopping scene. Cove Boutique opened a few months ago in a beautiful new space on South Congress. It's beautiful, bright & airy and the only thing missing is the sound of crashing waves and sand at your feet. We sat down with owner, Rebecca Yanoff, to discuss the new boutique's concept and some of her favorite travel destinations that inspired the aesthetic.
What's your background?
I didn't have an extensive background in fashion, I just always knew that I wanted to be an independent business owner. I believe if you love what you do and keep working hard at it you will most likely become great at it. The first 8 years after college, I worked many different types of jobs and wasn't just trying to find my passion, I was researching what the growing Austin population truly needed. So, for over three years I worked to concept our boutique from the ground up. We were fortunate enough to be able to design our building and convey Cove's spirit of relaxed fashion and good living in the exterior and interior design.
What is the inspiration behind Cove?
The inspiration for Cove came from my travels, particularly throughout Hawaii. The aloha spirit puts me in an instant state of relaxation and happiness. I wanted to bring this feeling into a high-end shopping experience, which can often make customers feel intimidated and self conscious.
What are you favorite tropical destinations? Favorite resorts or hotels?
My favorite hotel is the Four Seasons Maui. You just can't beat their service. They know what you want before you do. But I'm looking forward to exploring a tropical location a little closer to home. We'll be traveling to Tulum for the first time this spring break. We'll be staying at El Pez.
Which items would you pack for a beach getaway?
For a beach getaway, I would pack a Jade Tribe beach bag that folds up nicely into your suitcase, a turkish-t towel for laying out which also doubles as a sarong, long beachy necklaces and beaded bracelets from Marit Rae that easily go from beach to street, a Zimmermann bathing suit and a fabulous Camilla kaftan for dinner.
What are some lessons you've learned in starting your own business?
I've learned that you will wear a lot of hats. You won't just be selling beautiful clothing all day. You need to have working knowledge of marketing, accounting, contracting, human resources, etc. It's been a business crash course, but I'm fortunate to have a great team behind me!

A question: What is engineering? What differentiates an engineer from a scientist?
There are many reasons for encouraging people to learn about engineering, and therefore there is no unique meaning for the phrase 'Engineering Education'. In this chapter some of the main motives for teaching engineering will be explored. The remainder of the book will tend to focus on just one of the implied tasks – the preparation of students for a career as a practising professional engineer. However, many of the techniques which will be discussed are applicable whatever the intended outcome for the student. Notice that already a piece of educational jargon has almost crept in: The phrase 'learning outcome' will be defined in Chapter 2.
Read on … (but first leave a comment below)

Lately, we've been talking a lot about fish contamination in Southern California, but we realize we haven't said much about the source of contamination: the Palos Verdes Shelf Superfund site. The Palos Verdes Shelf Superfund site is an area of the Pacific continental shelf off the Palos Verdes peninsula contaminated with the pesticide DDT (dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane) and waste from industrial lubricants called PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls). Here are a few Q&As about the Superfund site and why it matters to you.
1. What is a Superfund site?
"Superfund" refers to a program run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that cleans up hazardous waste sites. The program included a fund to pay for the cleanups, and that's the source of the name "Superfund." There are over 1,200 Superfund sites nationwide and over 100 in California.
2. How was the Palos Verdes Shelf contaminated?
After World War II, as the Los Angeles population and businesses grew, the world's largest manufacturer of DDT, the Montrose Chemical Corporation of California, opened in Torrance, California. During its 35 years of operation, Montrose produced 800,000 tons of DDT. A lot of DDT waste entered the county sewer system. An estimated 1,000 tons of DDT ended up being discharged with treated waste water into the ocean; a fraction of this, 50-100 tons, settled onto the Palos Verdes Shelf. A much smaller amount of PCBs also settled on the shelf.
Today, the Palos Verdes Shelf is the largest known DDT contamination site in the world.
3. Why should sediment contamination matter to me?
Although the contaminated sediment is too deep for human contact, chemicals such as DDT and PCBs can enter the food chain through marine animals that feed near the ocean floor. The contamination travels up the food chain as these animals are eaten by other marine life. People who catch and regularly consume contaminated seafood risk developing health problems, including cancer, liver disease and effects to the nervous system.
4. What is being done to remedy this problem?
The EPA has designed a three-pronged approach to address the contamination: capping the most contaminated sediment; monitoring recovery in sediment and fish; and market regulation, public education and outreach.
The EPA is working with the following agencies to conduct regular inspections of markets to ensure that contaminated fish caught in the area are not sold to consumers: California Department of Fish and Game, LA County Department of Public Health, Orange County Health Care Agency, and Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services.
As for public education and outreach, the EPA is overseeing the efforts of our program—the Fish Contamination Education Collaborative—to reduce the consumption of local contaminated fish. FCEC reaches out to fishermen and other residents of the community through events, presentations, online communication and the distribution of educational materials.
5. How can I protect my health against fish contamination?
Our Southern California Fish Consumption Advisory page has guidelines for fish caught from Ventura Harbor to San Mateo Point. The area is divided into two types of zones: red and yellow. The Palos Verdes Shelf is a red zone while the zones between Ventura Harbor and Santa Monica Pier, and Seal Beach Pier and San Mateo point are yellow.
There are different consumption guidelines between red and yellow zones. Make sure to follow the guidelines for your sex and age as well.
You can also watch videos with tips on identifying contaminated fish on our YouTube channel.

a little bit about me
Decor by Nature naturally came about when I started painting art for my son's nursery. I couldn't find exactly what I had envisioned for his nursery, and after finishing that project I knew I had to keep creating!
I am inspired by adventure and travel, the beautiful West Coast, animals and nature. And I love a good inspirational quote! it warms my heart to see people connect with my art and it's an honor when people choose to have my art in their home.
When I'm not designing and making I'm hanging out with my three boys (all 5 years and under!), husband and fur babies.

Is it time to rethink the digital experience and get rid of home pages?
A website should do one of three things:
- Increase sales.
- Decrease costs (you can pay online!)
- Create consumer loyalty.
The first two are rather straight forward. If a brand sells something, a website is a good place to sell more of it. A website can also cut down on calls to the company, or mailings (a website can deliver documentation). And while that adds value to the organization, it can also save the consumer time.
The third bullet is the hard one.
Social media and the non-selling parts of the website often don't add value. In fact, the bounce rates is over 50%, one can argue that brand websites are doing the opposite of adding value.
That's where a radical change in thinking might help. Here it is:
Think of every page in your digital strategy as a home page.
When we first started doing websites, we wanted to take people through a journey from a fancy home page, to the product, service, or thing they needed. Google doesn't want to do that. When a consumer types something in search, Google wants to take them to the thing they seek. Not a fancy story about the thing that demands another click.
So every page is a home page. Including social media sites.
Google will deliver a LinkedIn page. Or a Facebook page. Or the YouTube channel in search results depending on the search term. It might deliver a Wikipedia page.
That means marketers MUST think about the route people will take to pages. They must ignore the 'home page' and think about the web experience. There was a time where we thought it was important for the website to be coherent and all part of the same family.
No more.
If a brand sells to consumers and businesses, why have the same URL for both? Why not a business.brand.com and a consumer.brand.com site? Google would rather send the right person to the right page with one click.
If every page is a doorway into the brand, we will no longer think about linear journeys for people. Google wants to give people information they need when it is needed.
It is time to streamline the customer journeys and stop making home pages. Especially on mobile phones.
What do you think? Are you still doing home pages?
