The European Fashion Award FASH 2015 is open for entries from students and recent graduates of Fashion Design.
The award is provided by SDBI, a public foundation founded in Munich and now relocated to Berlin, officially named "Stiftung der Deutschen Bekleidungsindustrie zur Förderung der Ausbildung von Nachwuchskräften in der Modebranche" ( German Fashion Industry Foundation to Foster a New Generation of Fashion Designers), and has a strong network of partnerships with schools, trade fairs, media, commerce and companies and significant fashion companies like Adidas, Akris, Craft, Esprit, John Galliano, Girbaud, Quiksilver, Puma, Schumacher, Strenesse, Ross Lovegrove, Vivienne Westwood, Antonio Marras and Bernhard Willhelm, where some of the previous winners already hold positions as head or senior designers.
The FASH award, which is now in it's ninth year, presents a new theme annually and asks the participants to give their unique expression of the theme with projects that include research and strong concepts reflecting social, economic, as well as cultural and political processes presented with documentation such as mood boards, photography and even verbal expression and diverse media to encourage thinking outside of the norm.
The winning projects and their documentation will be archived at the Sammlung Modebild – Lipperheide Costume Library, National Museums in Berlin.
This year's theme for FASH 15 is "Freedom"
"Childhood, sport, fashion, philosophy or politics – freedom has a lot of dimensions. It is the foundation of humanity and the heart of citizenship, whether you consider the French Revolution or East Germany's Monday demonstrations under the motto "We are the People". And yet, freedom is subject to the changing values and standards.
The European Fashion Award FASH 2015 on the topic of "Freedom" is searching for fashion as an expression of attitude: social utopia, poetic symbol of protest, or escape from the everyday routine."
The contest is open to design students of all disciplines, but especially from the fashion and textile design areas.
Students of currently enrolled in their fourth semester or higher are entitled to participate. Groups containing students from the fourth semester and higher, may also include younger students. Students from non-European countries are also eligible to enter; however, there are special conditions.
Final projects, theses and dissertations, as well as bachelor and masters projects can also be submitted if they correspond to the task and were created in 2014. Designs must not have been already published.
Works can be submitted by individuals, interdisciplinary teams (particularly encouraged) and/or in collaborations with companies.
The SDBI understand that today, demands applied to design tend to be so high that it is almost impossible for a single person to fulfill them all so they have made an allowance that individual students/designers can ask for help from other contributors, such as colleagues from other areas of study for segments of the project such as text, graphics, photos, etc. as long as contribututers are clearly identified in the project, such as in the imprint. SDBI will put a particular focus on the fact whether the designer maintains a clearly recognizable "Creative Leadership" role, basically carrying the responsibility for the overall result of the project.
The entries shall be created specifically for this contest.
Award winners will receive a one-time flat reimbursement for travel (photo shoot 200 Euros for individuals or groups, award ceremony and exhibition 400 Euros for individuals and 800 Euros for groups). All additional expenses are the responsibility of the winner. We recommend to investigate all related costs in advance, and to pursue a sponsor, if possible.
Close to 100 projects are entered into the competition for the European Fashion Award FASH each year. Therefore it is important that you present your project in such a way that the jury can quickly get a favorable impression of it. In order for the jury to evaluate your project accordingly, you must maintain the following standards.
Scope for Entries for the European Fashion Award – FASH 2015:
1. Documentation of Analysis and Concept
2. Presentation Chart
3. Two Outfits
4. Supporting Documents
This is NOT the postmarked date, all materials must be received in Munich on or before this date. Please take into account any required customs processing time for submission from non-EU countries as well as from Switzerland.

Other Details

The European Fashion Award FASH 2015 will be presented in two categories. The award purse totals 10,000 Euro.
Students: 1st Prize : 2,500 Euro / 2nd Prize: 1,500 Euro / 3rd Prize: 1,000 Euro
Graduates: 1st Prize : 2,500 Euro / 2nd Prize: 1,500 Euro / 3rd Prize: 1,000 Euro

As an addition form of special honor the jury may decide to permanently include selected documentations and presentation charts into the Archive of the Stiftung der Deutschen Bekleidungsindustrie.
The European Fashion Award FASH 2015 will be presented at the Berlin Fashion Week.
All winners will receive professional photo shoots and media work.
Each winner receives its own microsite on www.sdbi.de.
Last year's winner of 1st Prize European Fashion Award – FASH 2014 With the theme "Rhythm" in the Graduates Category was Danny Reinke whose casual couture collection for men and women "MÖN 10" was dedicated to the traditional fishermen of Mönkebude at Stettiner Haff, Baltic Sea whose lives are shaped by the rhythms of day and night as well as the seasons.
The Jury chose Reinke's work for the first prize stating "Each aspect of the project is exceptional and professional: the pieces and their great proportions, the playful accessories, the perfect tailoring, the well-thought-out documentation, the professional color card, the clever arguments, or the artistic sketches. Two pieces stand out in terms of quality and skill: a sweater, created by fishermen working for days on accurately knotting ropes together; and a coat created from old life vests found in his grandfather's attic, impressive due to its proportions and humorous element. In addition to all that perfection the project is full of energy and humor. It also offers a lot of potential for a commercial streetwear collection, a convincing mixture of enjoying the work itself and professionalism.
The showpieces are no gags created just for the show. Their goal is to make us aware of the endangered future of traditional fishermen, who have unfortunately been lumped into the same category as industrial fisheries.

text: Declining marriage rates in many societies, in particular among the poorer and disadvantaged population groups, has sparked growing interest. Current debates are often focused on whether the 'failure' to marry signifies deficiencies on the part of the individual, or insufficient societal resourcing of some groups to make them 'marriageable'. Concerns are frequently expressed about old age being a grim prospect for the never-married, due to the lack of care and support from a spouse and adult children. In aggregate, such views and debates convey a negative picture of singlehood, and of unmarried people who are seen as especially problematic when they become old.

Orlando takes team title, five head for championship finals
Orlando Speed World Dragway won the NHRA Southeast Division Summit Racing Series Team Championship in a close battle with Montgomery Motorsports Park and Music City Raceway while Brandon Jarrell led the list of individual winners Oct. 11 at the Southeast Division Summit Finals at Atlanta Dragway.
The team from Orlando, Fla., racked up 42 points to hold off Montgomery Motorsports Park, Montgomery, Ala., and Music City, Goodlettsville, Tenn., who tied for second with 39. Auto-Plus Raceway at Gainesville and Bristol Dragway were fourth and fifth with 38 and 37 respectively.
Joining Jarrell with individual trophies and advancing on to the NHRA Summit National Championship were Chad Brewer, Bill Crutcher and Roy Koch who each won their eliminator on Sunday. Via a special wild card drawing held early this year, Jerry Turner will also move on to the nationals in Pomona, Calif., by winning the division's Summit Race of Champions event in Super Pro Bike.
Jarrell, Ashland City, Tenn., drove his '83 S-10 to eight round wins in Super Pro, capping it off with a 6.834 second lap at 90.16 mph to defeat Wesley Mayfield, Gainesville, Ga., who had troubles right off the start. Brewer, Canton, Ga., cruised to victory in the Pro ET class when Brendan George, Gainesville, Fla., left early by just .004 seconds handing the win to Brewer who ran it out to an 6.845 on his 6.85 dial.
Crutcher took home the trophy in Sportsman as he was better than Kevin Roberts at both ends of the track and Koch won on a big holeshot in Super Pro Bike over Robert Meeks. Crutcher, Cedar Hill, Tenn., took the early lead in his '67 Nova and never looked back posting an 8.304 second run on his 8.30 dial to Roberts, St. Petersburg, Fla., who broke out. Koch, Loxahatchee, Fla., had more than a tenth of a second lead off the start and held on to beat Meeks, Tallahassee, Fla., running 5.713 at 111.58 on his '02 Kawasaki to Meeks', 5.886, 119.11 on his '12 Kawasaki.
Amber Acree, Michael Brand II, Wesley Cox and Daniel Young joined Turner with wins in Friday's Summit Race of Champions. Acree, Newnan, Ga., won in Super Pro right at the start when Zach Jernigan, Cantonment, Fla., red lighted by just .002 seconds in his '65 Nova. Acree posted a lap of 5.200, 107.74 in her dragster for the win.
Brand, Hayden, Ala., used a perfect reaction time to score the holeshot win in Pro over Travis Bryant, Bowman, Ga. Both drivers ran .012 seconds over their dial with Brand running 7.018 in his '73 Firebird and Bryant went 6.508 at 104.96 mph in his '68 Camaro.
Cox combined a .019 second reaction time with an 8.244 run on his 8.24 dial to end Cody Spears day out of Mt. Carmel, Tenn. Spears broke out with a 9.188 on his 9.21 dial.
Young, Palm Harbor, Fla., took home the trophy in the High School class with a .021 second package driving his '99 Firebird to a 7.677 second, 88.91 mph lap to a red lighting Gabe Ellison, Rogersville, Tenn., and his '06 Charger.
Turner will race next month in California for the NHRA Summit National Championship with a win over Tim Hunt in the Super Pro Bike Race of Champions. Hunt ran too quick by .014 seconds to break out as Turner was .017 on the tree and .004 over his dial at 5.844, 118.48.
Also in action was the Southeast Division Summit Jr. Drag Racing League with Orlando, again taking the Team Championship followed by Bristol Dragway and Montgomery Motorsports Park.

So, back to Spain. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten to chronicle our last few days in the glorious land of papas bravas and sangria.
After getting back from Segovia, we decided to finally tackle El Parque Retiro, the Jardin Botanico, and have lunch at Sobrino de Botin, the oldest restaurant in the world. Sadly, Goya is no longer a server there (or alive), but he was once, and that was exciting enough for me.
Let's start with Botin, because starting with food is always a good way to go. When visiting Madrid, go to Botin, and when going to Botin, get a reservation. We were the first people there as they opened for lunch, and we still barely snuck into a table. Also, it's tough to do a light or cheap lunch, so I'd recommend going IN for this meal. You're in the oldest running restaurant in the world – you deserve it!
First of all, we shared a carafe of sangria because we're not idiots, and it was hands down the best sangria I've ever tasted. Not too sweet, with the perfect amount of citrus, and refreshingly chilled. I asked what the secret recipe was, but that was a long shot. I remain in the dark about what made it so special but am okay with it, because it entered my body and that's what matters.
Doug had some gazpacho which was – you guessed it – the best gazpacho either of us had tasted, creamy instead of watery and fresh fresh fresh. We each had salads that were prepared at our table, because of course they were. Now, we didn't have any meat because we had dinner reservations for Maricastaña that night, but we were seated at the meat-dressing table so we got to watch as the servers lathered ham shanks and slabs of beef with sauces and potatoes. It was a production, it was
choreographed, it was old-world dining meets new-world Michelin standards. The whole event was beautiful.
On our way to Parque Retiro and the botanical gardens, we stopped at the loveliest little bookstore, Desperate Literature. They have books in Spanish, English, and French, as well as some gorgeous classics and a typewriter in the middle of the store where you can let out your inner bohemian writer. I love visiting bookstores in other cities, and Desperate Literature is a gem.
Onward to el Parque. We hung out around the Palacio de Cristal, or crystal palace, a beautiful structure overlooking the Crystal Lake. The lake was full of turtles and the air was delightfully breezy, so this was an excellent resting place (or retiring place, if you will).
Next, the beautiful Jardin Botanico. I love botanical gardens, and Madrid's is no exception. I felt like I was in some kind of magnificent hidden jungle the whole time, and especially loved the desert room. It's always nice to be reunited with your people.
On our way home we stopped at Mint and Rose for some handmade Spanish espadrilles (my birthday present from Doug, thanks Doug!) If you want a pair of espadrilles that are extra durable and can be dressed up, Mint and Rose has so many beautiful designs. I am the happiest with my shoes and will wear them until the last leaf falls off of the NYC trees, dammit.
Finally, dinner was at Maricastaña in our fav neighborhood Malasaña. It included burrata, my favorite thing on God's green earth, sweet potato fries with truffle and egg, and flourless chocolate perfection cake. I was too distracted by the deliciousness to get a photo of my tuna steak dinner, but know that it too was impeccable. We did not want to have to say goodbye to Spain the next day, but I was more than happy for this to be our ultimate Madridian meal.
My next trip to Spain will surely include Barcelona and the north. Madrid, you were an excellent place to start.

Regional newspaper Olay report Bursaspor manager Samet Aybaba is to get personally involved in the signing of Newcastle United midfielder Henri Saivet.
Saivet has been linked with the Turkish side in the past week.
The Newcastle United player spent the second half of last season on loan at Turkish Super Lig side Sivasspor, where Aybaba was the manager.
It's expected Saivet will leave this summer, but we recently covered reports his wage demands and Newcastle United's stance on the deal have proved a stumbling block for Bursaspor.
The player is looking for €1.2m a season from Bursapsor and Newcastle United would prefer to sell him outright, rather than loan him out again.
Olay say Aybaba is now set for personal talks with Saivet over a possible return to Turkey and a reunion with his former boss.
Saivet impressed for Sivasspor in the second half of last season, making 13 appearances for the Turkish club.

Hopeful Expectations (365 Days of Daring Faith — DAY 262)
Psalm 130:5 (NLT)
I am counting on the Lord; yes, I am counting on him. I have put my hope in his word.
Isn't it interesting how we tend to count on people more than God? We put faith in careers, relationships, activities, security, and even travel and have a good deal of expectation that people will do what they say, that we'll arrive halfway around the world safe and sound, that we will be loved, and that our jobs are stable, and that our families are safe in the communities we live in.

The innovative Task Scheduler makes it easy to plan events and appoint meetings on your calendar with no risk of double entries. Within this aspect, be certain that you familiarize with the Mail tab, since it is there where all your mails will be synced, and from where you can forward files and close certain deals with contacts that are not shown on your Pipedrive list. The majority editing feature was redesigned to modify several fields at ones, and gives you the liberty to choose symbols and colors you anticipate contacts to comprehend.
Top Notch Numbers and Reporting
Among the most helpful Tabs within this system is Statistics, which may also be linked to the dashboard and presented to other colleagues for improved comprehension of crucial metrics. There, you can follow the performance of individual representatives, the value of each separate deal, or the background of every lead. Recent improvements made from the machine empower critical comparisons, such as the one between closed and lost deals.

Efficient Sales management
Pipedrive functions as your Private sales manager that will help you pick the ideal activities and deals to concentrate on. This is the reason the tool is a true boon for business owners and sales managers, and also a useful and effective application for sales people. The app can provide you a clear overview of your sales pipeline and powerful sales strategy is built into the software. It's possible to become a much better nearer with the app's Timeline View that helps to select the proper bargains and activities to focus on. Pipedrive is also an extremely protected app that is trusted by thousands of customers around the globe. It offers solid hosting infrastructure as well as nightly backups in numerous locations.
Lead Management
Pipedrive CRM lets you easily transfer contacts from 1 step From the pipeline to another by simply dragging and dropping. Because of this, LM is simple: After contact is made with each lead, it is possible to simply utilize the Pipedrive CRM UI to drag it into the"Contact Produced" column (or into any column you have defined for your business). You could even change its status from the deal page for this person by using a visual timeline near the peak of the page. Pipedrive Crm Trial
Although Pipedrive CRM does not offer the sophisticated Data collection features of Insightly, it does offer pipeline and contact information collection with Internet forms, an easier way to acquire web-based leads in the CRM. These customizable forms can be created by an Admin user in the Settings menu under Web Forms. After that you can place the code onto your website or into a newsletter. You can add some of the customized text, both single and multiple-option areas that you have already established in Pipedrive CRM into the form.
If you want to separate your guide direction from, say, Your post-sales service, then you're able to create more than 1 pipeline using a simple form-based UI. After that you can hand off a bargain to another pipeline by dragging and dropping it in a box labeled"Additional Pipeline" in the bottom of the screen. This is also where you can move the bargain to"Won" or"Lost" areas.
What Pipedrive CRM does not do is different leads from contacts. When you begin a new deal, the person associated with that deal becomes a brand new contact. That is fine for smaller businesses that believe every new lead to be immediately qualified as a potential customer. Additionally, should you would like to set leads besides contacts, then you can add a field called"Leads" to the contact type. However, little businesses that prefer to deal with their prospects separately may be better off with something more concentrated, such as Annoying CRM$10.00 at Less Annoying CRM.
Simple User Interface
Just Like its own pricing, Pipedrive CRM's UI is extremely simple to understand. The plan is straightforward and the minimalist design is refreshing. Compared to Bitrix24 CRM$99.00 at Bitrix24 and Insightly CRM and their boundless customization options, Pipedrive CRM feels startlingly clean. As the name would imply, Pipedrive CRM's most important function is to supply a visual pipeline for bargains. When you first log in, Pipedrive CRM starts you off with a conventional sales pipeline. Many companies are going to be able to immediately start entering their thoughts and current deals in the pipeline as it is. Butif you need to personalize the pipeline or produce a fresh one, then you can readily do this in Settings. Your pipeline can be heavily customized to make your life simpler. Making the right tweaks in your preferences will let you move deals across the pipeline with no more than a click and drag.
When You obtain your settings just right, developing a deal in Pipedrive CRM is as straightforward as clicking on the Add Deal button at the top of the Prices page. A dialogue box pops up which asks you who the contact is (it also lets you make a new contact, if necessary), which company is associated with the arrangement, and the current pipeline phase and expected closure date. Once you've entered all your details, your new bargain shows up in the pipeline and you can quickly see where it sits compared to your other present deals. So far as pipeline-specific CRM platforms proceed, Pipedrive CRM is not as customizable as PipelineDeals$24.00 in PipelineDeals, but the UIs are equally simple to use.
One of Pipedrive CRM's most helpful features is the icon which appears next to every deal in your pipeline. At a glance, you can tell if you have any activities scheduled that are linked with this particular deal, if you're behind on your scheduled activities, or if you still must follow up. A new Activity Scheduler attribute makes this even easier by incorporating present appointments to your calendar to avoid double bookings. Pipedrive Crm Trial
The Mail tab also helps you keep an eye on important emails if you're using email forwarding. Pipedrive CRM recently included full email sync, so there is no more a need to sit and forth between Pipedrive CRM and your email inbox. All emails related to a particular deal or contact are now viewable within Pipedrive CRM contact entries. As a consequence, you can send email from Pipedrive CRM which will also appear in your email application. Conversely, anything you send from Gmail or Outlook, will be automatically logged in Pipedrive CRM, attached to the touch or deal of your choice. You can connect emails with their related deals also, and immediately discern their financial value, Pipedrive CRM stage, and next scheduled action. From here you may schedule a new action, or you can click the activities tab to view all scheduled activities, filter them by kind, and quickly see which are overdue and which are upcoming. Pipedrive CRM utilizes easy-to-understand logos and colors to enable users to quickly understand the data being presented.
Since Our final review, Pipedrive has added a library of email templates and a tool with which users can build their own. The company has also enhanced email signatures, which formerly only allowed plain text, and now can include images, links, rich text, and other layout elements.
Filters Have also improved on the whole, with Pipedrive CRM incorporating new list perspectives to make and export entirely customizable lists using a redesigned majority editing attribute to alter multiple fields at the same time. There is also a brand new Pen icon beside each cell in the list to edit respective areas. Plus you'll find mass export options such as"Export into Mailchimp" in the very best right-hand corner of the dashboard. Additional new filters include public filters which you can share with colleagues, and personal filters to configure your own dashboard view. Filter views could be changed by clicking"Edit Filter" and picking"private" or"shared" beneath the Visibility setting.
The Statistics tab also offers a link to the live dashboard. Here, you can see the value of your new bargains, which employee gets the most new deals, a list of activities, and lost and won deals. You can filter this information from pipeline, project, and time. Pipedrive CRM's customization capacity has also improved lately, with the inclusion of columns per filter. Users are now able to define a different set of columns for each deal filter with the added choice from the Edit Filter window.
Reporting and Third-Party Pairing
Pipedrive CRM integrates with many big-name productivity Tools, such as Google G Suite, Google Maps, MailChimp$10.00 in Mailchimp, and Zapier, simply to name a couple. Pipedrive gives you a forwarding address so that you can save your important emails and discuss them with the group. To cover all aspects of your business, you will most likely have to make use of a few of those integrations. For the price per user, I would have liked to have seen more native performance, as you get with Apptivo CRM. And, of course, nothing beats the sheer dimensions of the Salesforce marketplace.
You can access your deals on the go using Pipedrive CRM's Programs for Android and iPhone. Like the web version, the cellular programs are simple and easy to navigate. You can quickly see your deals, tasks, and contacts, or use the lookup function to dig important data. Pipedrive CRM has rolled out a number of features lately to enhance mobile app productivity too. These attributes include call tracking capacities to log calls, and take notes, and link both to deals, and schedule follow-up actions. The programs also now include activity push notifications and a brand new Day View in mobile calendars that consolidate existing appointments at a mobile-optimized view for improved sales productivity on-the-go. Pipedrive Crm Trial
In terms of coverage, the Live Dashboard offers you a Have a look at the status of deals by Newness, Person, Activities, Wins, and Losses. Beneath the Statistics tab, you'll also find reports covering a particular user or the whole business. Like the rest of Pipedrive CRM's UI, reports are simple to comprehend and visually appealing.
If you need to customize your dashboard, then you may want To consider Zoho CRM rather than This is so even though Pipedrive CRM has considerably revamped its reporting capabilities of late, adding several new deal perspectives that incorporate"Deals Won" and"Deals Lost" graphs, finished action graphs, and deeper pipeline conversion evaluation. In the dashboard, you can now get into a product-specific view that looks at how many bargains have been launched, won, and lost according to merchandise, values, and reductions associated with the products and the most-active sales group members. The remaining new perspectives are more deal-centric, allowing users view who started a deal, where it now sits at the pipeline, or the state of all deals that began within a specific date range.
If you need assistance getting your Pipedrive CRM easily Running, then you've got many support options. Besides multiple in-depth demonstration videos, you may also look for the knowledge base, telephone support toll-free in the US, UK, or Canada, or take a look at the FAQs. You could also reach the business via social websites; they are receptive to tweets over 12 hours. Pipedrive CRM's support team can be achieved quickly and in numerous ways, but the software is so easy to follow you might not need it. It is difficult to convey exactly how simple it's to install and begin with this program.
Beautiful and Easy to Use
Pipedrive CRM is both reasonably priced and among the Simplest CRM services there's to set up and comprehend. You'll have the ability to get this up and running fast, and the simple UI will permit you to spend less time working together with the software and much more time working on the following sale. If you're looking for a CRM service which will centralize all parts of your enterprise, however, then you may be better off with Apptivo CRM, Salesforce Revenue Cloud Professional, or Zoho CRM$12.00 at Zoho, PCMag's Editors' Choices for CRM services.
Pipedrive made a deliberate choice to focus squarely on The sales pipeline. If you're searching for deeper CRM database capacities, then the Editors' Choices will serve you better. But Pipedrive CRM's main perspective and next-step sales action pipeline is geared toward groups actively handling sales, and in that respect Pipedrive excels.

Match report: Late drama as Glory's Taggart smashes winner over luckless Mariners
Perth Glory's Adam Taggart smashed a sensational late winner to seal a gritty comeback 2-1 win over Central Coast Mariners on Sunday afternoon in the WA Capital.
At a pristine nib Stadium in front of over 12,000 noisy fans to conclude Round 3 of the Hyundai A-League, a fast-finishing Perth Glory came back from a very slow start to register their first win of the season.
- The Mariners started on fire, finding their rhythm and should've been a couple of goals up inside six minutes. They did take the lead, deservedly, just after the quarter hour mark.
- But Glory soon found their groove and began to get in behind the visitors defence with striker Adam Taggart having the best chance to find the net.
- But Kenny Lowe's men couldn't find an equaliser before the break. 0-1 to the visitors from Central Coast.
- Taggart and Keogh had good chances in the second half but it was the Irishman who found the net to set up a grandstand final 20 minutes.
- Both sides fatigued in their desperate search for a winner on a warm day in Perth.
- And it was Taggart with just minutes who broke Mariners hearts with a super winner.
Brama, Mariners 14', 0-1
Mariners playmaker De Silva found Pain to the left of the box, he shifted the ball inside and squared it to Wout Brama and the Dutchman angled a rising left foot drive first time past Liam Reddy for a deserved lead.
Keogh, Glory 70', 1-1
A great combination by the front two of Glory. Taggart was set free down the right and his accurate cross to Keogh saw the Irishman bury his perfect header that left Glover with no chance in goal.
Taggart, Glory 85', 2-1
Lowry with a great long ball to Taggart. Doubts of offside can be cast aside with Roux playing him onside. After a great first touch he smashed the shot from the edge of the box past Glover and rattle the back of the net. Cue mayhem!

Estrogen Therapy Shown Effective In Reducing Tooth And Gum Diseases In Postmenopausal Women
Last updated March 20, 2017
Approved by: Krish Tangella MD, MBA, FCAP
As estrogen levels fall during menopause, women become more vulnerable to numerous health issues, including loss of bone mineral density which can lead to osteoporosis.
Estrogen therapy has already been credited with helping women manage an array of menopause-related issues, including reducing hot flashes, improving heart health and bone density, and maintaining levels of sexual satisfaction. Now a new study suggests that the same estrogen therapy used to treat osteoporosis can actually lead to healthier teeth and gums. The study outcomes are being published online today in Menopause, the journal of The North American Menopause Society (NAMS).
As estrogen levels fall during menopause, women become more vulnerable to numerous health issues, including loss of bone mineral density which can lead to osteoporosis. Around the same time, changes in oral health also are common as teeth and gums become more susceptible to disease, which can lead to inflammation, pain, bleeding, and eventually loose or missing teeth.
In the Menopause article "Association between osteoporosis treatment and severe periodontitis in postmenopausal women," 492 postmenopausal Brazilian women aged 50 to 87 years, 113 in osteoporosis treatment and 379 not treated, were evaluated to determine whether osteoporosis treatment could help increase the bone mineral density in their jaws and, subsequently, improve overall oral health.
The study found that the rate of occurrence of severe periodontitis was 44% lower in the postmenopausal osteoporosis-treatment group than in the untreated group. Treatment consisted of systemic estrogen alone or estrogen plus progestin, as well as calcium and vitamin D supplements, for a minimum of six months.
"Osteoporosis can occur throughout the body, including the jaw, and lead to an increased risk of periodontal disease," says Dr. JoAnn Pinkerton, NAMS executive director. "This study demonstrates that estrogen therapy, which has proven to be effective in preventing bone loss, may also prevent the worsening of tooth and gum disease. All women, but especially those with low estrogen or on bisphosphonate treatment for osteoporosis, should make good dental care a part of their healthy lifestyles."

a murmured invocation
famine cannot touch me. the nettles grow no matter what happens. i eat midges before they eat me. and when i was chased to this cave by shepherds, they led me to this feast of wonder. and now the shepherds run from my green skin. danger will lead you to salvation until it kills you. life is covered in death. life's outward garb is death. i used to throw rocks at men to maintain solitude. now my wrinkled skin and gale-parched face keep them away. i was never beautiful. my jaw always as twisted as this grotto. death defies us. living things defy the tug of annihilation. i see it. skulls fall from the heavens, but the flocks are not hurt. each tooth on each skull a sheep sunk down in the jaw. and the jaws extend out and take the farmers and laborers up to a floating hell. the teeth of the nettle guard food. its bitterness a comfort, boiled in my low fire.
a demon approaches
one day, the devil god appeared before me. their four hoofed feet hovered above the hoarfrost. their tail the the tail of an ass, their hide the hide of a bison. they exhaled sweltering hot air with every pant through their wolf-teeth, badger-nose face. the air was fully happening, full of thick breath. behind them i saw heath devouring heath. i swallowed the devil god whole. i took that beast inside me, held it between my legs as it tried to grind me into the dirt. the devil god brought forth its emissaries. i take the first, the god of the eye lust, i take that one in my mouth and hold it there. the other is the foul demon swelling, and i hold it in both hands. the devil god bellows in the daylight, its sounds casting a shadow to the east. the elongated darkness withers the grasses and shrubs. my mouth cannot but help exhale the foul sticky breath. eye lust god enters my eyes and my vision starts to be eclipsed. i count the hairs on the devil god's chest, keeping track with my toes. under the hair i see a mass of emerald and sapphire beetles crawling over each other, biting each other. an emerald one bites another emerald one, breaking its shell. it issues the most languid ichor, all glimmering black. the 88th hair is golden. i bite hard into the eye lust god, and it squeezes between my teeth. its unctuousness is saccharine tanged. eye god lust's darkness begins its procession across my sight. i keep gazing at the devil god's golden strand. sulfurous saliva flows down my neck to my bosom, pooling at my feet, lewdness gathering in the dust. hammer and tongue, my cunt becomes a carnelian chalice overflowing.
for 3 days i held the devil god inside me while my vision was gradually eclipsed by lust. aching with perfidy, my thighs began to shake. my vision began to lose all color, the world graying out. my hands began to ache. i begged under the sign of the hammer for strength, but none came. demon swelling overflows in my hands. my grip relaxes. my jaw slackens. my vision is eclipsed further and further by lust eye god. i don't let go of the sight of the hair. swelling covers my hands, wrapping around each finger, curling around my knuckles. wrists, then elbows, then shoulders are covered in thick swelling. my eyes quiver and water, but the golden hair on the devil god's chest never leaves my sight. and, just as as the shadow almost reaches total, the golden hair seems to extend toward my eye. it curls and flows towards me, tracing a path around the edge of the shadow just before the eclipse is full. it has entered my inner vision. all is dark, except for the single radiant hair. finally blinking, grabbing the thread with my eye, i pull into the darkness.
Saint Conception, hear me if you will. take me and curdle me into the present. everything already is to you. help me curdle back into flesh. coagulate me, all-conceiving one. thus i prayed for an eternity until i awoke from my trial. the heaths were a gehenna of cold, and i was caked in blood, a clot laying on stone. after moving slightly, the lichens tickled my skin back to feeling. the pale sun shone bright but provided little warmth. i rose, put on my robes, and went to pick some milk thistle to commemorate my curdling. as i was scanning the horizon for a thicket or boulder that was hiding vegetation, my eye became sorely irritated. i blinked, made tears, and pulled out a long, coarse, golden hair. after Darling Conception was honored, the devil god would get their due. i looped the hair into one of my long-empty earring holes and tied it tight.
the agony
stooping down to gather the last of the saint's thistle, i see a plant of only petals, no thorns, all pink, all over. the whole body is a bud. smelling it, it's unmistakably thistle. i pull it out by the root, taking care to not disturb the stalk-shaped flower. i hang the flower thistle root-first in my dwelling place and prepare the rest. click, click, click, goes my tongue in the purple night. i hear something in the scrub call back to my dry bones, clack, clack, clack. my bones are listening, my feet are walking. i am led to a column of stone, new to me, old to itself. too wide to be embraced. too massive to notice. it was to be my menhir. wide, all-encompassing mother. the restful, all-dreaming one, the stone of somnolence.
this was my Hagia Ágnoia, a palace to the Holy Unknowing, its depth and external dimensions inverted into a internal monolith.
i burn the saint's thistle there and fall into reverie at the menhir's monolithic compassion. i begin my lonely orgy to the stone, but i am soon joined by the devil god, who i brought along. the beast and i frolic. i pretend to gather herbs, gathering them in my invisible apron. the god played a shopkeeper and i was their customer. we dance and fight and tryst and fall into redemptive hands repeatedly, replaying the whole folly of existence. the dawn creeping, the stone calls me back from my devotions, back to crystalline sleep. my eyes shut, and strawberry seeds appear against the light.
this is the exquisition. every gland in my neck, arms, breasts, and stomach is pained. my organs are rocks. my skin is covering hard fruit. in days, my belly became full with spawn. putrid devil ichor seeped from my loins, and the hair cinched itself tight in my earlobe. several days after, a pregnant she-goat appeared on the heath, my woolly doppelgänger. she looked sore and suffering. in several weeks, she gave birth to a single kid and died thereof. taking rare pity, i held the writhing little beastie, and my own belly burst. washing myself how i could in melted snow, trying not to strangle the kid goat in my misery. after a span filled with inchoate cursing and fists on rock, i pushed out a wretched knot of curdled blood. i kicked it into the fire and fell into inky deep undreaming sleep. i awoke to my breasts painfully hard and swollen with milk, the goat curled next to me. i nurse the kid for 8 weeks. in the daylight, looking at its parts, i noticed its sex change depending on the angle. after it was weened, it left me, roaming and growing a herd.
exorcising the demon from itself
i see a form loping against the still-bright horizon. the air is full. a storm coming. i feel it signify, tingle my nostrils, writing itself out in the firmament. i turn to go back to my grotto. one flash, one snap. i hear the devil god in my ear. "that was its apotheosis," they whisper. i walk out into the scattered drops, making my way towards the felled beast. it was struck by the bright bolt. rent asunder, part cooked, part charred, i decide to accept the beast's mercy. i carve out the banquet with my small flint. with two hands and reverent thirst, i hold the lump to the sky for star blessing. deadening my senses, a spider's web prayer spins from my tongue. eyes weaving, chest heaving, my teeth cry out in carnal pleasure, ripping flesh. gorged and bloody, i open my mouth in sour blessing, then fall to the ground.
prayer for deep blood
i am tremor and terror. the blistering cold made me blather and rattle. i am become a side of a mountain, and rheum begins to flow out of me like groundwater. a myriad of stones rest under my side. the clattering of rock is long echoed in chambers deep below. i drop my awareness down into the pit. a vein of limestone dreaming snakes down into the earth's night, no moss, benthic deep where large entities shamble without collision. many-dreamed goddess, holding preciousness in her mouth. all tenderness & eyes. tenderness becomes wet. eyes become seeds. sprouting concatenation, shapes entwining and twisting together. small fabrics weaving themselves with vigor, but never feverishness. twisting becomes petals. peeling back the petals reveals more petals, more eyes, more orthogonal visions. each bending sprout springs upward seeking the light, growing tall and rigid, gaining strength, twisting with the sun, defying wind, mending wounds, deepening, wintering, summering, gnarling into an elder clump. the colliding kaleidoscopic crannied visions ebbed and darkness consumed me.
i made a prayer for blood. i hadn't bled in many, many years, nor had i any wish to. yet the deep darkness there threatened to take me beyond embodiment, and it was not time. Mother Venus, drip the light on my tongue. trailing mirrored illumination, three drops of sanguine sun. i saw the world covered in a deluge of crimson. above, above, a ruddy disk covering the sun. everything was always happening. breathe a circle and you can make a sign. wait a holy eternity.
you might have read the words "sweet waters of sacred lands" or "the fragrant springs of the mother." i have visited many sacred lands and tasted many holy waters. none of them have been sweet. i have worshiped at many fonts of the mother and inhaled the vapors there. none of them have been fragrant. the smell of brimstone, that is sacred. the ground was with me, back above the deep. the menhir is next to me, holding up the sky. i follow it to the firmament pierced with light glowing tyrian. holy brimstone lingers. following the smell, i came upon the earth bubbling sacred water from below. i pulled up my robes with one hand and squatted above the hot pool of water. with my other hand cupped, i washed myself with sulfur. i blessed my body with a series of sybaritic gestures, prayerful, ornate and impossible. i had long conserved outward display of piety, visualizing each motion for hours. this night i secreted each motion. i kiss the Living Water, but do not drink.
soror seraphima arrives
"there stands a menhir" were your only directions to me, you said. "i have come in search of holy wells and tumuli."
i replied, "here you'll only find crumbling stones and this dusty old crone."
the first woman who came to my door requesting to be my acolyte died in the cold. i realize i must have smelled like vinegar and dusty blood. if the monastics were smart, that's how they'd tell you fools to find me. vinegar and blood. you gave me an angular, wide-mouthed bell. my prayer bell had long rusted through. it was buried with the goddess. this bell offering softened my soul.
i told you what i tell every aspirant, "go and fetch the sacrament. walk west until your legs hurt. you'll see a herd of wild goats led by wiry old one. follow them apace. look on their old dung and you'll find it. pick 4 caps. then gather sweet grass from the edges of marshland for a flog. it grows next to the sinkhole filled with rain."

Second Million-Ton Wave Expected During Next 18 Months
Aiken, SC - May 8, 2013 - The 2.5 million ton higher alcohols market has expanded rapidly in the past seven years as new supply has come onstream. The consumption of alcohols has expanded at a rate of more than 4.5 percent per year between 2005 and 2012. This impressive performance has been the result of new supplies reaching markets after a similar massive addition of oleo-based alcohol capacity between 2005 and 2010. Supply is forecast to grow at twice the rate of demand between 2012 and 2015 with an expectation that the existing industry footprint will require some adjustment, according to a new study on higher alcohols by Colin A. Houston & Associates, Inc. (CAHA), a U.S. consulting firm in Aiken, South Carolina.
"Over the next few years, use of alcohol-based anionic surfactants may be favored in detergent formulations, as nonionics and alkylbenzene sulfonates face respective supply constraints and competitive cost pressure," according to CAHA president Joel Houston. "Purified ethylene oxide capacity expansions are not keeping up with the new oleo alcohol capacity, hindering the growth of ethoxylated products in the short term," he added.
Demand for alcohol-based products in Asia has exhibited strong growth over the past few years, with new demand developing from the additional requirements of liquid laundry detergent products. Greater consumption of alcohols in personal care products continues to drive growth as well. While surplus alcohols are currently being exported to Western markets, trade barriers, duties and new technology could disrupt this trend.
Raw Materials
The recent de-linkage of prices for oil palm biofuels and distillate fuels like kerosene has resulted in a growing advantage for oleo-based chemicals versus other chemical intermediates of significance. Shale gas economics in North America have improved the cost position of synthetic alcohols to oleos. The shale gas opportunity is generating new investments (particularly by Sasol and Shell) in projects which will continue to support the cost position of synthetic alcohols. Recent process developments in sugarbased higher alcohols have been evaluated in the report. Several of these new projects, including LS9 and Codexis, are on the brink of commercialization which offer a new supply chain route for the future.
Wave of New Capacity
A wave of new capacity is set to come onstream during the next 18 months which will create a flood of alcohol products. Some producers are slating output to selectively produce mid-cut alcohols, avoiding short and long-chain co-product economic challenges. More than 1 million tons of planned capacity is expected to start up, and other capacity will potentially join the race. It remains to be seen if older, less economical units will be forced into rationalization.
With over 60 percent of the new capacity intended for Malaysia and Indonesia, new surfactant plants in Singapore, Shell and Solvay for instance, will couple the alcohols with ethylene oxide to make surfactant products which can be used around the world.
Consolidation of the Industry
The degree of integration in the alcohols arena has been expanding through forward integration. Oil palm planters have expanded into alcohol production. In addition, Asian alcohol producers have increased participation in the surfactant space through acquisition and grass root activities: Ecogreen, Emery, KLK Oleomas, Musim Mas and Wilmar, for example. Furthermore, the acquisition of Cognis by BASF has brought together their respective strengths in alcohols and ethylene oxide, while expanding the company's product offerings into a range of specialty products.
Derivative Markets
Three surfactants accounted for over two-thirds of the 2.5 million tons of higher alcohols consumed in 2012: alcohol ether sulfates (AES) - 38%, alcohol ethoxylates (AE) - 21%, alcohol sulfates (AS) - 13%, and they will continue to dominate alcohol use in every region. The balance of products include tertiary amine derivatives (betaines, amine oxides and quaternary ammonium compounds), and other derivatives including alkyl polyglycosides, methacrylate esters, as well as direct end uses.
The higher alcohols market is growing at a base level of 4.9 percent per year to 2025, but any substitutions for linear alkylbenzene and methyl ester sulfonates will drive the market above this rate. The CAHA study evaluates and forecasts demand for primary surfactants by end use. It analyzes market trends and issues, and includes a discussion regarding surfactant producers and customers in every region. A series of 22 producer profiles are included, including capacity and integration analysis.
The new 700-page report just issued by CAHA entitled, Higher Alcohols to 2025, is available in both print and electronic versions. Click here for more information.
Higher alcohols are mainly used in the production of surfactants and detergents. Alcohols
with 12 or more carbon atoms are classified as higher alcohols.

Robbie Simpson hopes a recent foot injury won't prevent him from putting in another top-class performance in the 35th edition of the Inverness Half Marathon on Sunday.
The 27-year-old Deeside athlete set a course record and personal best time of 1.04.27 when winning last year, just six weeks before going on to pick up a bronze medal for Scotland in the marathon at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games in Australia.
Simpson is looking for a confidence-boosting performance as he begins to step up his preparations for April's London Marathon in which he'll go in search of the 2.13 qualifying standard required to be considered for a place on the Great Britain team for the world championships in Doha later in the year.
His preparations over the winter haven't gone too smoothly, however, as he has been hampered by a back problem, illness, and most recently a painful foot, but despite all of that Simpson remains quietly optimistic.
He said: "Despite [the foot] and the other problems I've had, I feel I'm in fairly decent shape. If I don't get a personal best time I won't be too disappointed as it's not the end of the world. I still have plenty of time before London. I just want to run well on Sunday to see how things are.
"I like the Inverness course and I think it's a fast one but it depends on the weather and how competitive the race is. Last year I was given a strong challenge by Dundee Hawkhill's Kris Jones and that helped push me on. It's a pity Kris isn't running this year because of injury. I'm sure some of the other guys will be keen to push that pace though."
Those 'other guys' should include Mike Christoforou (Edinburgh AC), who won last year's Alloa Half Marathon and showed good form when finishing third in the Scottish cross country championships last month. The 2018 Stirling Half Marathon winner Mike Crawley (Corstorphine AC), Scotland hill running international James Espie (Deeside Runners) and five-time Skye half marathon champion Hugh Campbell are among others hoping to do well.
Katie White (Garscube Harriers) produced a quick time when taking top spot in the women's race last year in a personal best of 1.15.58 and she's seeking a repeat performance on Sunday.
She said: "I'm not sure if I'm in better shape than last year so I'll be looking for a similar time, although it would be good to get a personal best. The course always seems to produce some fast times because there's usually a very competitive field, and hopefully it will be the same this year. It's not the flattest course, but it seems to suit me."
White, who was silver medallist in the world masters age 35–39 half marathon championships in Malaga last September, goes into the race as clear favourite but there's a large number of good athletes who will be keen to give her a run for her money.
Claire Bruce, the Scottish half marathon championship bronze medallist, has a best time of 1.18.27, but will be aiming to go faster this weekend. She heads a large Metro Aberdeen squad which also includes Great Aberdeen 10K champion Ginie Barrand who has a best time of 1.20.05 set when finishing third at Inverness two years ago.
Fife AC's Sheena Logan, who set a personal best half marathon time of 1.21.56 when winning the Great Aberdeen Half Marathon last August, will lead a strong Fife AC side which includes Halina Rees and Morgan Windram-Geddes.
The 2017 Inverness champion, Dunblane-based Hungarian runner Fanni Gyurko (Central AC), is also in the field but this will be her first race since December. Gyurko's clubmate Jenn Wetton, who finished runner-up three years in a row between 2015 and 2017, returns for another crack at a podium position.
Race director Malcolm Sutherland said: "It's fantastic to have a record number of close to 3000 runners taking part in the half marathon and it's amazing to have sold out our places ahead of the planned closing date. Some clubs will be represented in a big way, with Perth Road Runners bringing 82 competitors, Metro Aberdeen 60 and North Highland Harriers 47.
"There should be some fantastic performances from the top Scottish athletes at the front of the field but it's always great to see people doing so well all the way through the field."
