Nano Technology

What is nano? A man's beard grows 5 nanometers every second. Suffice to say that nanometer is very, very small. Despite its size, you can see the effect of things happening at the nano scale all around you: they give sunset its red color, allow birds to navigate, and help geckos stick to trees. But It's only recently that we've actually been able to see down to the nano scale. This is nano you. We humans are strange creatures, aren't we for honest? We like to measure things. Earth's tallest mountains are over 8.000 meters tall, a football pitch is around hundred meters. I myself am about two meters when I'm standing up... in shoes. Good afternoon. Ants are few millimeters long, skin cells about 30 micrometers. We can't see things this small. A bacterium is about 2 micrometers, smaller still are viruses. And so we go down to DNA, our molecular blueprints. DNA is 2 billionths of a meter in diameter or more conveniently 2 nanometers, the units that we use to measure the building blocks of everything. Welcome to the nano scale. To explore the nano scale we use very powerful machines called electro microscopes. Today we are gonna look at 2 things that you may have seen before. We're going to look at a fly and a coin. So this is the "Z" on the coin. This is the fly's wing. And who would've thought that it would've had all these little hairs sticking out from it. The tip of each of these hairs is only about 600 or 700 nanometers in diameter. When we use electro microscopes, we explore new and alien landscapes. It's a strange new world down there. The nano world isn't just unusual looking, things behave differently there, too. One reason for this is surface area. If you take a cube and lay the surface flat, you can see how much of that cube can react with the outside world. If you divide the same cube into 8 little cubes, the surface area is twice as big. If you keep making smaller cubes, the surface area becomes immense. More surface means more area for reaction. This is why powdered sugar dissolves faster than sugar cubes. Big lumps of aluminum are not very reactive, but nano particles of aluminum are so reactive, they can be used in rocket fuel. Another way we can show this is with flour. This flour doesn't burn very easily when it's in a pile. Because it hasn't got enough surface area. But if we mix it with a lot of air, there's something quite different. Light also behaves differently as you head down to the nano scale. White light contains all colors. When particles get really small, they start to bounce only certain colors back. So you see them as those colors. As gold gets smaller, it stops looking gold and instead reflects red, purple, blue and finally become invisible, when it's too small to reflect any colors of light that you can see. These strange properties of light can be very useful. Welcome to nature's nano I've always wondered how butterflies and beetles can make these strong and iridescent colors. So if we take a butterfly wing and we put it on the microscope, we see thousands and thousands of small little bright blue scales. Each of these scales is colored by little ridges running across the scale. Each of these little ridges, if you cut right through them, look like a christmas tree. This structure is finely tuned to reflect only the blue part of light. So the butterfly appears bright blue. If we just replace the air in this nano structure with a bit of liquid, you'll see that it changes colors from bright blue to bright green. It fills in the gap around the nano structure and makes it better of reflecting green light. When the liquid evaporates, it returns to reflecting blue. Please don't squirt butterflies! Life has spent 3.8 billion years finding clever ways to use the nano scale, now we can understand nature's nano secrets, we can use them for ourselves. Many tropical plants have leaves where water just runs off. This keeps them clean. If we look at the nano scale we can see tiny structures which stop the water from sticking. By copying these structures we can make our own water repellent surfaces. Some that even honey doesn't stick too. Ants have really cool feet, they can stick upside down to surfaces, holding up to a hundred times of their own weight, without falling down. We look closely we see tiny little pads on their feet that help them to stick. By investigating the micro structure insect's feet we can design surfaces hard for them to climb, bad luck for cockroaches. Pitcher plants eat insects that slip into them, but they don't work unless all of their rim is covered in water. To make sure they are as slippery as possible, they have a nano trick up their sleeves. You can see how the water spreads, even up against the gravity. If we look at them we see that they have a lot of grooves running across the rim. And in between these grooves if we look on a nano scales there are even smaller grooves. This is called a super hydrophilic surface, which means that the surface likes the water and pulls it across itself. Once the water is spread thinly across this micro and nano grooves, they become very slippery, and it's goodbye ants, hello pitcher plants dinner. Hydrophilic surfaces have lots of uses, but one particularly excellent one is in a new water filter. This can filter even the tiniest bugs from dirty water, making it safe to drink. Even really dirty water. Looking around the natural world is a great way to pick up ideas for things to make ourselves, but with the nano technology we can make new structures that nature's never even tried. Making new nano Down at the nano scale things are gloopy, and there's lots of friction. This means particles stick together really easily and this happens again and again, new and complicated structures can be formed. This is called self organization. Scientists have been carefully experimenting with different conditions to see what sorts of new nano structures they can create, the results are astonishing. Here are some samples I made under various conditions, but when we zoom in on the nano scale, we can see that they are extremely different. These ones remind me of the Eiffel Tower. They are really quite beautiful, these hexagons all stacked on top of each other, like pyramids. You can also make other materials, such as: very thin wires, ones that go like pancakes or ones that look like flowers. All these new structures have different properties, soon they'll be changing the way we live. From the solar panels that we spray onto our roofs. To making computers and batteries so small that they are invisible. The materials we use have some severe limitations, push them too far, they break. But nano researches are discovering ways around these limitations. Electronics is made over silicone and silicone is not very stretchy. But we found the way to make electronics stretchy. When you put a really thin layer of gold onto rubber and you stretch the rubber we found that the gold doesn't break. This is because when gold is just a few nanometers thin, it forms cracks and this cracks actually allow gold to stretch. That means that in future you can take your mobile phones, stretch it, wrap it around your wrist or even embed it in your clothes. Using the new materials made possible by nano technology we could build stronger houses, tougher cars and even make ourselves healthier. Medical researches are already looking at using nano particles to deliver drugs or to hunt down cancerous tumors. I'm a brain surgeon. It's my job to treat patients with brain tumors. What we would love is some of sort of nano particle that is taken into these tumors that allows us to identify where the tumor cells are. In the future nano medicines could patrol your body, hunting down diseases and zapping problems. Nano close up Standby for the smallest thing you've ever seen. This may look like deep sea submarine, but it is actually a scanning tunneling microscope. Inside it's more empty than space and it has revolutionized our view of the nano world. This is an image of a piece of carbon and these spots are the single atoms on the piece of carbon, so one spot is one atom. So this is the smallest thing that you can see, the smallest thing you will ever be able to see with any microscope. If you listen carefully you can even hear the atoms as the microscope scans over them. This year researchers imaged the internal structure of a single molecule for the first time. This is the most detailed view of matter that we've ever had. Remarkably, it looks almost identical to our models. Not only can the microscope take images, it can also moves things around. We can actually change the position of atoms, one at a time, using this microscope. So we can use the microscope to choose an atom on the surface, move it to a new place and then do this with as many atoms as we want to built up a new structure. And that's where nano technology comes in, because nano technology is all about changing the properties of matter atom by atom, by making new structures. Throughout history we've making smaller and smaller machines. Now scientists are looking at ways to create machines at the smallest scale possible, using atoms as their building blocks. Some researchers believe that we can construct molecular machines that can make anything we wanted. If this happens it will revolutionize our lives. We know that molecular machines can work because they are in every cell of our bodies. They are working away right now turning food into energy, fixing damage, keeping you warm and making new cells. You are already a master piece of molecular nano technology. The Nano Future Mark Welland is professor of nano technology at the Nano Science Center of the University of Cambridge. Imaging a small implant with which you can think equivalent to your mobile phone that communicates directly with your brain as the internet does currently with rest of the world. If I want to think a connection with my son, who is working in the Himalayas, I can think the connection and just as your mobile phoned us it will dial up the device inside my son and I would talk to him, I would see him, I would feel his emotions. We would be infinitely connected to each other and infinitely connected with all the information that is around us. If this all sounds more like science fiction to you, think how quickly our world is already changing. Someone born in 1930 would never've believed that in their life time thousands of people would be flying around the world in metal tubes everyday. That men could've walked on the moon and that you would be able to watch this film on something called the internet. I hope this has given you a taste of the world that always been around, but that we are only just starting to explore. Many people think that this coming age will be the age of nano. If so, you will be the people to explore it. And what your generation discovers will be perhaps the biggest technological leap in history. It could take you into atoms and beyond the stars... Good luck!

With top Republicans worried about the 2018 Senate races, every contested election matters and is worth following. New polling from two battleground races shows Democrats and Republicans are barreling toward a photo-finish for control of the U.S. Senate.
In Missouri and Montana, two Trump-supporting red states with incumbent Democrat senators, polling shows both races in a statistical tie.
Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., and her Republican challenger, state Attorney General Josh Hawley, are each polling 45 percent, according to a recent CBS News poll.
Meanwhile, Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., leads his GOP challenger, Matt Rosendale, 47-45 percent.
In Nevada, a recent Gravis poll shows incumbent Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., trailing his opponent, Democrat Jacky Rosen, by two points. Hillary Clinton won Nevada in 2016. It is a pivotal state where Democrats are looking to pick up a seat to flip the Senate.
One race that's not close: In West Virginia, an Emerson College poll shows Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.V., holding a double-digit lead over Republican state Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, 45-33 percent.
We have 50 days until the 2018 election. Republicans have work to do if they want to expand their Senate majority.

Hey all!
I hope you are having a wonderful week! I am so excited to post about this collab with a local photographer here in the valley. Danielle was such a pleasure to work with and I am excited to work with her on future projects! She is the sweetest person & captures my vision perfectly even when we don't have the words to express them. 🙂 You can find her on Instagram here.
This look was inspired by not only living in the desert but I know that everyone is going to festivals soon {AHEM Coachella} so I wanted to share this outfit to help jumpstart some ideas!
I found this dress from Forever 21+, I have not purchased from them since probably high school, and I am pleasantly surprised by this dress! It is a maxi dress with 2 slits up the legs, it also has some flutter sleeves, and is a wrap dress with a tie in the front. I absolutely love the print and it is so flattering. The only complaint I have is it is tighter than I was expecting because on the model it was rather loose and breezy. So if you aren't a true 3x/22 then this might fit looser on you.
I think wearing a long breezy maxi is so flattering when you're going to a concert, not to mention they're so comfy so it's a win-win. Its getting hotter which means minimal jewelry for me so I just put on a silver geometric ring. But with any maxi dress like this or if you're going to a festival I think a hat is in store! I decided to add my favorite taupe floppy hat also from Forever 21. If you have a larger head {I have been blessed} then I highly recommend Forever 21 or Old Navy if you're looking for something affordable they always have great options that are more rounded on the top and that's what I need for hats to sit nicely on my head. If you're looking for festival jewelry like a statement necklace or rings then Forever 21 is a great option, or Target's Sugarfix has some great gold layering necklaces or statement pieces.
I have never worn shoes to a festival but I think any type of strappy sandal or gladiator type of sandal would look great with this dress. But for the sake of these photos, I think a heel was necessary and brings the whole outfit together. These are the most comfortable heels I own, I could wear them for a shift at Francesca's for 5-6 hours, they are an Australian brand I bought them from DSW.
If you plan on going to a music festival this year let me know which one! I hope you enjoyed this post & this festival outfit inspiration.

And the award for worst media disaster of 2014 goes to..../
It just keeps getting worse for Bill Cosby. The steady drumbeat of sexual assault allegations is at this point deafening. Now, a new low in the scandal. Cosby is being sued by Judith Huth, a Southern California woman who claims the comedian molested her 40 years ago when she was just 15 years old. The suit marks the first civil lawsuit filed against Cosby since he settled a similar case in 2005, and the first time a woman has publicly accused Cosby of sexually abusing her while she was still a minor.
If Cosby is innocent, it's time for him to sing it from the mountain tops. But I wouldn't hold my breath. He had the chance last November during NPR and AP interviews. In both instances, Cosby refused to answer questions about recently reignited, decade old rape allegations. From a PR standpoint, the AP interview was especially disastrous and telling. Cosby not only challenged the reporter's integrity for broaching the rape allegations, but tried to bully the journalist into deleting the segment.
While Cosby has stayed tight-lipped, his lawyers have vigorously refuted the accusations. They've questioned why it took decades for the women to come forward, (Many didn't want to risk the scorn and fall-out from taking-on "Americas Dad") and reminded everyone that Cosby has never faced criminal charges.
But in the court of public opinion, Cosby is behaving like a man who has something to hide. The fall-out has been merciless. NBC and Netflix have discontinued shows they were developing for the comedian, TV Land has suspended "Cosby" show reruns, concert venues have cancelled his appearances, and Cosby has stepped down as a trustee of his beloved Temple University.
Some PR executives have suggested that if guilty, the only way for Cosby to restore even a modicum of his legacy is to come clean. Cop to the allegations, deal with the legal and financial fallout, and dedicate the rest of his life to sexual assault and rape causes. But the Daily Beast's Jay Michaelson believes there may be good reason for Cosby's continued silence. In a November 2014 article titled, "No Wonder Cosby's Keeping Quiet: He Could Still Be Prosecuted," Michaelson writes, "Not all of the women's claims are blocked by the statute of limitations…..this might be why Cosby is keeping mum on the accusations, despite the obvious public relations disaster. If he were to confess, he could well be prosecuted for his crimes."
Case in point; a 2004 allegation of sexual assault and battery by Andrea Constand; the most vocal of Cosby's alleged victims. The alleged attack occurred in Pennsylvania which has a 12-year statute of limitations on sexual assault. And then there's Huth, now 55, who suggests the statute of limitations be waived in her suit because she discovered "her psychological injuries and illnesses were caused by the sexual abuse perpetrated by Cosby" within the past three years.
Despite the legal maneuvers and revelations, an indictment still looks to be a long shot. Huth's claim sounds calculated and financially expedient, and as has been widely reported, the district attorney investigating Constand's 2005 allegations said he didn't have enough evidence to pursue charges, (even though he found her credible). There's also the issue of evidence or lack thereof. We have yet to hear anything about rape kits in any of the cases.
As the scandal continues to develop, it's anyone's guess where the chips will fall. But one thing is certain. Cosby has been sucked into the vortex of 24/7 news coverage, and it won't be letting up anytime soon. Cosby is too big a name, and the allegations too numerous. It's still so difficult to fathom. Bill Cosby a serial rapist? With this much smoke, it's hard to ignore the likelihood of a fire.

10 tips for finding buyers in the natural ingredients for health products sector
Primary tabs
The European health products market offers plenty of opportunities to natural ingredients suppliers from developing countries. There is growing demand for natural healthcare products, and in turn, increased demand for medicinal and aromatic plants and extracts. How can you find European buyers? Here are some tips to help.
Contents of this page
- Start by doing thorough market research
- Make sure you know about buyer requirements
- Review the websites of European sector associations
- Join trade development associations and export support programmes
- Visit trade fairs
- Advertise
- Make sure you can be found online
- Use online social networks
- Get certified
- Understand your buyers
1 . Start by doing thorough market research
If you want to find buyers, your first step is to do thorough market research. You'll need to:
- Find out in which European countries demand for your ingredient is highest. Also look at growth in demand in these countries.
- Look for market segments that use your products. Ask yourself what your ingredients can be used for. Natural ingredients for health products have numerous fields of application. Can they be used in energy products for example? Or for food supplements? Digestive health products? Find out which types of products are getting more popular. If growth rates for these market segments are high, then there is likely to be a stronger demand for raw materials used in these market segments.
- See our studies on important market segments: digestive health, energy, immune system, joint health, stress and anxiety, vascular system, anti-obesity, cognition, and aromatherapy.
- For product-specific information, see our studies on promising export products, including frankincense, aloe, Curcuma longa, capsicum, Moringa oleifera and mulberries.
- See also our study about market channels and segments in the natural ingredients for health products sector.
- Use ITC Trade Map for statistical data. Search for product groups that are used in health products, such as vegetable extracts, or medicinal and aromatic plants.
- Review news about the market for medicinal plants on ITC Market Insider.
2 . Make sure you know about buyer requirements
If you cannot meet buyer requirements, European buyers will not buy your products. Make sure you know what the buyer requirements are before you contact European buyers. These are the laws and regulations that products and processes need to comply with throughout Europe.
To ensure your products and processes meet these European standards, many European buyers will ask for an audit of your factory. During the audit your potential as a new supplier will be assessed.
European buyers may also send a variety of questionnaires for you to fill in. You must take this seriously. Your willingness to comply with these demands will make or break your chances of a successful business relationship. First impressions count.
- See our study on buyer requirements for natural ingredients for health products for an overview of requirements you will need to comply with to export to Europe.
- Visit the European Commission's website on health and food safety for more information on legislation.
- See the next tip for websites of European sector associations. These provide information about legal requirements in the health and food (supplements) sectors.
3 . Review the websites of European sector associations
You can find buyers on the member lists of sector associations. Many European buyers join such associations. Identify potential customers and get in contact with them.
Sector associations play an important role in European Union regulations and legislation. They are actively involved in research programmes and corporate social responsibility programmes (CSR). They may also provide country-specific and sector-specific information which is vital to your market research.
One important sector association is the European Federation of Associations of Health Product Manufacturers (EHPM). This association represents specialist health product manufacturers in Europe, as well as national associations. EHPM also works on developing an appropriate regulatory framework for its members' products throughout Europe.
Another example is the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA). The EFPIA represents 1,900 companies in the European pharmaceutical industry. On its website, you can find members, companies and 33 national associations, such as:
- Les Entreprises du Médicament (LEEM) in France
- scienceINDUSTRIES in Switzerland
- Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI) in the United Kingdom.
Here are links to the lists of members for the following sector associations:
- European Federation of Associations of Health Product Manufacturers (EHPM)
- Health Food Manufacturers Association (HFMA)
- European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA)
- Association of Research-Based Pharmaceutical Companies (VFA)
- Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI)
- scienceIndustries
- Food Supplements Europe
- Use the membership lists of national and European sector associations to find importers and manufacturers of health products.
- See the websites of sector associations for information on legal requirements in the health and food (supplements) sectors.
- Check the websites of sector associations to find matchmaking programmes. For example, the German Federal Association of Industrial and Commercial Companies for Pharmaceuticals, Health Food, Dietary Supplements and Cosmetics (BDHI), offers a matchmaking programme (information in German). You can also consult the matchmaking platform on the website of analyze & realize GmbH.
4 . Join trade development associations and export support programmes
Contacts at trade development associations are useful contacts to have. Think about joining:
- Centre for the Promotion of Import from developing countries (CBI)
- Swiss Import Promotion Programme (SIPPO)
- German Import Promotion Desk (IPD)
These organisations offer help and advice on topics such as buyer requirements, quality issues, legislative frameworks, certification and organise export support programmes.
A trade development association in your country can also help you find new business contacts and contacts with institutions that promote trade within Europe. They also organise export support programmes. These are good places to meet other exporters and expand your network.
Examples of organisations with successful export support programmes include:
- ProColombia (Colombia)
- PromPeru (Peru)
- Vietrade (Vietnam)
- Trade Development Authority of Pakistan – TDAP (Pakistan)
- Directorate General for National Export Development – DGNED (Indonesia)
- Department of Trade and Industries (South Africa)
- Agricultural Export Council (Egypt)
- Check the websites of trade development associations for market studies on the European market. You can also ask them for such information.
- Check the websites of associations for information on regional legislation (ASEAN, Andean Pact), good practices and international standards, or contact them for further info.
- Visit events organised by trade development associations and meet with other exporters. Learn from their experience. Discuss and share experiences on trading channels, legislative requirements, buyer requirements and logistics.
5 . Visit trade fairs
Trade fairs are one of the most important places to meet buyers. They are ideal places to look for new business partners and to gather information about new trends and product developments.
You can use trade fairs as a platform to present your products to a wide audience. This could be a national or international one. There are also niche events for more specialised industries/sectors.
Choose whether you want to exhibit at a trade fair or attend as a visitor. If you decide to exhibit, make sure you do the following first: calculate the costs; set objectives; develop a stand concept; invite visitors.
Presenting your company and products in a professional manner at the trade fair also gives your business more credibility. Buyers will expect:
- a professional attitude and professional appearance (also in terms of clothing)
- good time management (for example, always be on time for appointments)
- good background knowledge about good practices and standard operating procedures, as well as standards for your processes and products.
The leading trade fairs in Europe for natural ingredients for health products are:
- BioFach (for organic products)
- Vitafoods
- Health Ingredients Europe.
Look online for additional trade fairs, for example using websites such as Expo Database or Exhibit In Europe
- Select the right trade fair for your products. Answer questions such as: What type of products will you be bringing? In which market segment are they used? Are your products organic certified? Does the trade fair focus on innovation? Will you find many new/innovative products there? Is the trade fair open for brands from outside of Europe, or is it focused on European companies?
- After a trade fair, make sure you do the follow up work and monitor your success. Contact the people you have met based on business cards and your notes taken during the trade fair discussion. Send them the information you promised them. Keep up those good first and second impressions.
- Take a look at the online exhibitor catalogues of trade fairs to find potential buyers for your products. Determine which companies are active in your market segments and target countries. These catalogues usually contain links to the exhibitors' company profiles, contact details and the products they produce or are looking for. See for example the Health Ingredients Europe 2018 exhibitor list and the BioFach 2018 list of exhibitors and products.
6 . Advertise
Advertising can be an effective way of helping buyers find you. Examples of interesting journals to advertise in are:
- ACTIF's (a magazine on functional, health and food ingredients market)
- SOFW Journal
- Nutraceuticals Now
- Nutraceuticals World
- Nutraceuticals Business Review
- Wellness foods & supplements
- NutraIngredients.
Business-to-Business (B2B) online trading platforms are good places to advertise posts about your company and/or your products, for example:
Also look at websites that offer a directory of food ingredient suppliers, such as ingridnet.com. This website offers online advertising opportunities.
- In your advertisements, include ingredient-specific information.
- Advertise on a mix of different platforms, both online and offline.
- Base your advertisements on the European Advertising Standards Alliance (EASA) Best Practice Recommendation on Online Behavioural Advertising.
7 . Make sure you can be found online
It is difficult for European buyers to find suppliers and products in developing countries. You can use the internet to bridge this gap.
The best way to provide information about your company and your product(s) is on your own website. This needs to contain:
- Basic information about your products, your facilities and your company, also including correct contact details.
- Any relevant documentation, such as product specifications, Safety Data Sheets and certificates.
- Pictures or images that show who you are as a company, what products you sell and where you source your raw materials from.
- Information on what you do in terms of sustainability and corporate sustainable responsibility (CSR).
Put some time into Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) as well. This is a strategy that can make it easier for search engines to find you. In that way it will also become easier for potential buyers to find you. All you might have to do for a big effect is change some minor things on your website.
- See these steps to a Google-friendly site.
- See the European Commission website for information about optimising your website for search listings.
- Have a look at websites of other suppliers. What can you learn from them?
- Also look at the websites of European buyers. What kind of information do they include? What do they do regarding sustainability? What do they share about their suppliers?
8 . Use online social networks
Most European buyers use online social networks to communicate with potential suppliers. In turn, they expect suppliers to be active online and communicate at a professional level.
This means that you need clear, accessible and up-to-date information about your company and products on online networking platforms like LinkedIn, Xing, Twitter or Facebook. Of these, LinkedIn and Xing are especially important for Business-to-Business contacts. Social media are becoming almost as important as face-to-face networking at conferences and trade fairs.
Many associations and magazines also offer online networking platforms. Such platforms give you the opportunity to promote your product developments and trends. One example is the ENA - European Nutraceutical Association. On this website you can announce or discuss industry news. The website also offers a good way of communicating with customers, partners and/or suppliers. Moreover, you can post announcements on job vacancies or tender for projects.
- Use social media to spread information about your own activities and your products.
- Use social media and B2B platforms to keep yourself up-to-date on what your potential buyers are doing.
- Use social media for finding out what your business partners and competitors are up to. This could lead to potential buyers.
- Use social media for networking and keeping in contact with your existing buyers.
9 . Get certified
More and more European buyers request their suppliers to apply for specific certification. With these standards, buyers have access to documentation about the entire production process. They also use it as a guarantee of the origins of the raw materials, which reduces risks.
Certifications and labels also help buyers to communicate to their consumers. They use these to show consumers how they assure sustainability, quality and corporate social responsibility (CSR), which is important to consumers.
Although obtaining a certification may be a significant investment, it can also add value to your products. Moreover, it can increase your chances of attracting buyers by improving your business operations and your reputation as a reliable supplier of natural ingredients.
Important verification schemes and certification standards are:
- Organic (European Union)
- Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP)
- United Nations Global Compact
- Union of Ethical BioTrade
- Fairtrade International
- FairWild Foundation
You need to go through a certification process before you are allowed to use these labels. Experts will audit your company. You may need to improve your processes according to their instructions.
- Discuss with (potential) buyers whether they would be interested in certified natural ingredients and for which standards.
- For a full overview of certification schemes in the sector, consult the ITC Standards Map database.
- Check the Standards Map videos on YouTube to see how Standards Map can help you to determine which initiatives may be useful for your company.
- Get certified by implementing Good Practices and standards.
- Once you have obtained certification, ask the organisations behind the certification standard to add your company profile to their websites. This may help potential buyers to find you. See, for example, this list of companies participating in FairWild certification on the FairWild website.
- Publicise your certification. Put labels on your products. Update the home page of your website. Publish press releases and/or make announcements during trade fairs and in national programmes.
- Prepare well for company audits. You can find the requirements for certification standards online. Make sure you can comply with these requirements and have the necessary proof available when the auditor visits.
- Stay in contact with the auditors and communicate new offers/products regularly.
- Join relevant associations/foundations related to your new certification. Subscribe to newsletters to stay informed about the latest developments and go to member associate meetings.
- Use auditor visits as a source of information.
- See our study on buyer requirements for natural ingredients for health products for more information on specific standards, such as organic and FairWild certification.
10 . Understand your buyers
Before you contact European buyers, make sure that you are prepared. You need to get know your buyers. They will expect more from you than just meeting standardised legal requirements. You need to find out what their expectations are and how you can meet them.
The business culture of your (potential) buyers may also be different to your own. Cultural backgrounds play an important part in business transactions, and these aspects vary throughout Europe.
In the natural ingredients for health products sector, there is a clear distinction between traditional buyers and modern ones. Modern buyers have separated purchasing from quality control. They have purchasing departments and quality control managers who will both be involved in the negotiations. They will ask a lot of questions and expect audits and certifications.
There are many new trends in supply chain management and in purchasing. One example is risk management. Buyers (especially in the pharmaceutical industry) want their suppliers to also be responsible for risk management. Buyers expect you to know what risk management is. They expect you to have a system in place to monitor and cope with risks. For more information, see the ISO website.
- See our 10 tips for doing business with European buyers of natural ingredients for health products.
- See our study on buyer requirements for natural ingredients for health products for more information on buyer requirements and expectations.
- See our study on trends for natural ingredients for health products for more information on developments in the sector.
- See an overview of differences in business culture in Europe on Passport to Trade 2.0. This website provides short video introductions to each countries' cultural peculiarities.
- Talk to European buyers. They are your most direct and most important source of information. Meet them face to face at trade fairs, or make appointments for a meeting at or after the fair.
- Attend meetings or workshops organised by trade associations to find out what is going on in the sector. Have a look at the respective associations' websites to find dates, times and locations for such events.

Step-by-step, find your fashion job. 1) Define your goal: Which fashion profession matches your skills & interests? You want to work in the fashion industry, that's a fact. Trends, fashion weeks and catwalks are your field of interest. But besides that, do you really know which fashion career you want to strive for?
The good news is: There are many and very diverse positions in the fashion industry, ranging from management functions to more creative jobs. Now it's up to you to find out which fashion position is your best match. Like in any other industry, it helps to have a clear and defined goal in order to succeed. Knowing which fashion profession fits your skills and interests is therefore crucial. To get a realistic idea about the specific tasks of a certain profession, it's a good idea to take a look at actual job offers. This will help you in your orientation process.
Gather Information Once you have made up your mind and identified the fashion career that you want to pursue, you need to gather further information, to make sure that you really know about the job. If your dream job requires a specific training or study (which will most likely be the case), find out which schools are best in this field. Some fashion jobs can also be based on experience, rather than on holding a specific degree. Let's take an example: your dream is to become the next famous designer of your generation. Good. Now start asking yourself: "What do I already know about designers and the profession itself?" Do you have a favourite designer? What makes the designs so special for you? How does the designer distinguish him or herself from others and what is his or her background. If you don't have a clue, apart from knowing how "pretty" the last collection was, you should get into it.
The same goes for other fashion positions, for instance, store manager, creative director or buyer. Whatever career path you want to follow, make sure that you are passionate about the fashion job that you are aiming for. Why? First, for yourself, it will make the "hunt" way more efficient. But also for your interviewers. If they feel that you are inspired by a profession and that you have good knowledge about it, they will trust you more than other candidates.
2) Experience is king: You need to start from the bottom to get to the top Getting your dream job might take some time. Indeed, for most fashion positions you will have to build up your career and be patient. Don't be afraid of starting with internships or assistant positions. An internship is a great opportunity to get an insight into the industry and to find out if the job that you want to go for is really something for you. Gain first hand job experience in the industry you love. This is how you are going to learn, get skilled and become more attractive for the industry thanks to the skills that you acquired. Soon employers will see the new team member that they need when looking at you.
3) Be part of the fashion industry: Build up your professional network and stay informed You have defined what you really want to do and have in-depth knowledge about it. Bravo, you are on the right track. Now make sure that you are informed about what is happening in the industry. To reach this goal, a good network and a recognised news source will be an asset.
First, work up on your social profile. Today it's a necessity to be present on the social sphere, however, you need to be present in the right way. Your latest Facebook-selfie won't impress anyone. The good idea: LinkedIn, the professional network. Create and update your profile and mention your educational background as well as your current and previous job experiences. Have a look at groups to get in touch with people that are sharing your interests, and to keep you informed about what is happening in the industry. LinkedIn is also a good way to keep in touch with interesting people that you have already met. Secondly, think of using fashion professional platforms to stay up-to-date on the latest developments in the field of fashion. For example, FashionUnited, the leading fashion platform, offers the latest fashion news and relevant statistics, an overview of fashion events and an international job board for the fashion industry. A platform like FashionUnited gives you access to all the useful information about the industry. Don't wait for a second and take that opportunity.
Networking Another good way to work on your network is simply to be present "where it happens". Meeting people, talking to them face-to-face, has always more impact than sending them an email. If they see you, they will remember you. So don't hesitate and go to relevant fashion events you hear about. A fashion fair in your city? See that's an occasion to meet and mingle. A store opening? Let's go and get in touch with some fashion professionals. Use every opportunity you can find to get more contacts and to grow your network.
4) You need to prepare your fashion job interview Here you are, you got your job interview! Now you need to prepare it. Remember that most companies will take a look at your online presence on various social media platforms when they will receive your application. So, if necessary, clean up your Facebook profile and adjust the privacy settings to make it more professional. As mentioned before, don't hesitate to keep your LinkedIn profile updated. If you don't have one yet, now it's about time to create one!
During the application process, you already updated yourself about the company. Good. Now that you have your foot in the door and got your interview, make sure that you know as much as possible about the identity of the company: what is its internal philosophy, its vision? Which projects are currently running? On one hand, it will help yourself to know if you would fit the company, and on the other hand, you can show the employer that you are enthusiastic about the company. Finally, don't hesitate to bring something that can proof your talent to the employer during the interview. Portfolio, blog, website, sample of your creations… You can bring anything that can make the difference, as long as it relates to the position of course!
5) Final step: self-confidence. The key to success is to have faith in yourself! It doesn't matter which stage you are in, either you are just starting your fashion studies or recently got your fashion dream job, one of the keys to success is to have faith in yourself. Of course there will always be competition, but remember: You hold all the cards in your hands to succeed. The employers need to feel that. To see that you are confident. It will make you way more attractive as an employee. If they see that you know what you are talking about, they will remember you more easily and be more eager to give you more responsibilities. Don't hesitate to talk confidently about what you know, about what you have done and about what you can do. You have knowledge, experience and relevant skills. Your fashion job is waiting for you!
The top 5 tips have been created by Lena Steffen, who recently joined the FashionUnited marketing team, her first job in fashion.

Sophomore Gabe Togia took over in last Friday's game against Kent-Meridian, leading the fifth-ranked Eagles (7-2) to a 77-21 victory that gave them the SPSL 4A North's top seed into the preliminary playoffs. Togia completed 5 of 10 passes for 100 yards and three touchdowns and got plenty of support from star running back Chico McClatcher, who rushed for 354 yards and six TDs. "Gabe did great in his first varsity start," Meagher said this morning. "He has had another really good week of practice and is ready to lead us into the playoffs. Gabe was 7-1 as our starting JV QB and really progressed throwing the ball later in the season. "He has the perfect QB emotional makeup — nothing phases him. He isn't D'Jimon — but we as coaches are confidnet in his abilities to keep us in the hunt!" Federal Way plays Mariner Friday at 7:30 at Federal Way Memorial Stadium. Jones, a junior, was a run-pass threat. Through eight games, he had rushed for 392 yards and four TDs and passed for 561 yards and 8 TDs (31 of 61, with 3 interceptions).

Dear all my relatives, friends and barely acquainted friends who support the Zionist project of Israel,
Please sit with me for a while, I have too many stories that scream to be told.
A twelve year old boy picks up a stone and throws it at a fully geared soldier. The boy is sent to a prison for 20 years. Maybe bargained down to 18. His family will not be able to visit because they will not get permits to travel.
Or they will have to supply his prison under House Arrest.
What will his mother and father do? What of his brothers and sisters? His classmates? His future children?
8,000 child prisoners since 2000
Every fact has thousands of faces not counted in that number.
Which will touch you more? Is it worth it to you to hear about the lives that are being crushed?
The efforts to simply live life?
Will you flinch at the hatred that is being planted?
Yes. Maybe. Because you still have
Your own pain.
Your own story.
Your own place in this world.
All that is yours does not erase these facts.
Is the terror of a child and stones because you believe so much in David and Goliath? David is from the Dheishah refugee camp. The IDF came in the middle of the night and pulled him out of his house.
How can I tell you about the frustration that rams throughout this
Area A
Area B
Area C
Plan D. Plan Dalet for ethnic cleansing.
Letter of the alphabet screams
And can I tell you that despite the frustration
Palestinians also pick up their pens, their brushes, their dreams, their heartbeat
And they find the cracks in the wall.
Their happiness bears no relation to Happiness.
Let me know how to reach you.
Yours in solidarity with life,

A Tree Grows In Brooklyn PDF book is available on the web. Today we will share the link of this 20th century's classic novel. The name of the author is Betty Smith, while this semi-autobiographical work published in 1943. It was also one of the most successful books of its time.
Book description
This poignant literary classic is one of the most liked books. A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith is a piercing and moving story. It is all about a touchy and dreamy young girl Francie Nolan's developing years in the slums of Williams burg from 1902 to 1919. Full of sympathy, savagery, giggling and sorrow this tale has charmed and roused a huge number of readers since its publication.
A great literary work that nicely tells a one of a kind tale and amazingly rich moments of a young girl's experience. By turns enormous, powerful, heartbreaking and inspiring, the everyday encounters of the memorable Francie are raw with integrity and kindly strung with family relations.

I don't encourage yogis to practice by moving slowly because none of us slows down in daily life. So, if we practice slowly on retreat, we cannot transfer it to daily life.
Whatever you do, you can be aware if you don't hurry [yogi's note: check for eagerness]. You need to know how to watch your emotion; if you hurry, hurry, awareness is gone. When anxiety and worry comes, awareness is gone.
You don't have to be aware of every detail. Just one thing at a time is good enough; but try to make it continuous. Then, you can maintain awareness.
At work, you must be skillful in watching your thoughts too because you are often thinking of more than one job. Awareness must be fast.
Habit! Practice! You need to practice seeing, hearing, thinking and feeling for a long time; try to be skillful in watching many objects as objects. Then, your awareness becomes faster and faster.
Your awareness must be ready all the time. If you can maintain awareness, the mind is calm and fresh. Then you can think how to finish your job well.

Wheelchair users face severe job market discrimination, says new Quebec study
Laval University study measured level of discrimination wheelchair users face while job hunting
A person in a wheelchair is 54 per cent less likely to be called in for a job interview than someone without a disability, according to a new study targeting Montreal and Quebec City employers.
That percentage means the bias against people living with a disability is worse than other forms discrimination on the job market, as observed in similar studies.
"It's definitely worse than discrimination based on ethnic background, which is already very strong," said Charles Bellemare, the head of the team that conducted the study.
Last year, the economics department at Laval University started measuring the prejudice people in wheelchairs face while job hunting.
The team sent out 1476 fictional resumes to real job postings in Quebec's two largest cities.
The jobs were all ones which could be done by someone in a wheelchair — secretary, receptionist, programmer and accounting clerk.
Some resumés were sent out stating in their cover letter that the person used a wheelchair, others didn't. That was the only difference between them.
Still, the disparity between the two groups when it came to who was offered an interview was massive.
Resumés that didn't note a disability elicited a 31 per cent response rate from employers.
By comparison, only 14 per cent of those candidates which mentioned the use of a wheelchair were similarly contacted for an interview.
"We were extremely surprised, even a bit shocked," Bellemare said of the results.
Wheelchair users not surprised
Geneviève Imbeault, who uses a wheelchair and works at Quebec's education ministry, wasn't shocked by the results.
She lives with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and it affects her connective tissue and eyesight.
Job interviews in the private sector back when she showed signs of a disability, but still hadn't begun using a wheelchair, made employers' bias known.
"I had forearm crutches and I'd see this little recoiling movement, a reticence," she said of the interviewers.
Government intervention not enough
About one hundred discrimination complaints are opened each year with the Quebec Human Rights Commission because of discrimination in the hiring process.
Among them, disabilities elicit the most complaints.
Quebec is taking steps to curb the problem by offering employers subsidies to cover certain costs associated with accommodating a person with disabilities in the workplace.
Almost 4,600 people benefited from the program in 2016-2017.
But Bellemare included this variable in his study and the impact was negligible—those candidates which specified having clearance for government special allowances to their employer didn't have many more interview offers.
This leads Bellemare to believe that the root of the problem is flat-out discrimination.
"If we don't tackle the problems with perception, it is much more difficult to make sure that these government programs are effective," Bellemare said.
Isabelle Senneville, the head of La Croisée, an organization helping people with physical limitations integrate into the workforce, agrees that perception is the main barrier to employment.
"We distance ourselves from what we don't know. That's the way people are," Senneville said.

NYO Baseball @ St John UMC
For over 50 years, NYO (Northside Youth Organization) baseball has been a staple in the North Atlanta community. The baseball program serves nearly 1,500 players from ages four to fourteen separated into twelve leagues. In conjunction with NYO's mission, the baseball program emphasizes character development, sportsmanship, healthy competition, and positive coaching.
While the main NYO baseball complex is located in the heart of Chastain Park in Buckhead, the very first NYO ball field was here at St John UMC. At the time, NYO was primarily known for its football program. In 1951, St John member, Bob Blackwell, created a football team of thirteen young boys from North Atlanta. This small football squad, called the Red Devils, would evolve into one of the largest, intra-park football programs in the entire country. Later, in 1952, Cal Thomas founded Buckhead Baseball, and asked Bob and 3 others to be co-founders and the first coaches of the league. As with football, Bob was a successful coach and motivator of young men. His team won the the Little League District and State tournaments in 1959.
Bob saw a vision for continued youth baseball at St. John, and helped found the new baseball league at NYO. NYO's first baseball field was constructed behind the church, and it is still there and actively used today. The relationship between NYO and St John has been a strong one for over 50 years now, and the commitment both organizations have to developing youth remains the same. 2017 saw a complete renovation and overhaul of the St John NYO baseball field, with substantial grounds work, new fencing, new dugouts and more. Currently, the St John field serves as the primary home for the NYO International League (ages 10-11).
For more information about NYO baseball, click HERE.
Our Address
550 Mt Paran Road NW
Sandy Springs, GA, 30327
The St. John NYO baseball field is at the back of the church property. Enter the church property through the main entrance, and as you proceed through the church parking lot, you will see the baseball field ahead and to the left behind the church daycare center, before the driveway curves to the left.
Be careful where you park! Foul balls have been known to land in the parking area of the baseball field.

SIOUX FALLS – In response to the results of today's Republican primary, Senator Billie Sutton issued the following statement:
"In November we will have an opportunity to build a stronger South Dakota by finally solving challenges facing us in developing good jobs, health care, and education. But none of those challenges can be addressed until we clean up state government, where partisanship, back-room deals, and a culture of complacency prevent real progress.
This election presents the people of South Dakota with a clear choice. A choice between politics as usual and a new kind of leadership. Washington-style politics will only make our problems worse.
From the beginning of this campaign, I've pledged to be a different kind of leader. I will buck the status quo and put state government back on the side of the people. It's our time to build the stronger South Dakota that we all deserve."

Psychopaths Joseph Goebbels And Dr. Mengele Would Be Proud: CIA Crimes Against Humanity Exposed In Illegal Medical Experimentation (State Violence) On U.S. Prisoners
Not only did we learn a few months ago that the American Psychological Association, the largest "professional" institution of psychologists, had worked covertly with the Bush administration to rationalize the inhumane and Godless use of illegal torture but now we actually have even better news. The atrocities of a Godless, anti-democratic state institution and medical doctors who abandoned their human values to please their Nazi masters. Because as noted on here many times, the CIA was, to some large degree, influenced by, molded by and created by former Nazis. The CIA is not a democratic institution. Not even remotely close. We can almost be certain that it is much, much worse than is being reported.
This is a perfect example of what I have written on here many times. That is, the professional class does the bidding of state violence. And the professional class as a whole will never be the source of reform or revolt against the system because they actually benefit from the state's endless violence against humanity. (In this case the medical industrial complex whose involvement in perpetuating state violence is very deep and wide in ways most of us simply don't think about because we have come to accept that structural violence as normal.) The Soviet dissident, Andre Amalrik, who predicted the collapse of the Soviet Union while the entire institutionalized military, university experts, think tank and political complex of the west laughed his assertions off as ludicrous, wrote of the complicity of the professional class or the college-educated, if you will. It applies not only to the Soviet Union but the concept of the state as a universal construct.
The level of state secrecy here and elsewhere that humanity lives under today is not to protect the American people or any other people around the world from the boogeyman. It is to hide the massive injustices, crimes against humanity and outright evil that are used by the state to keep its jack boot on the neck of humanity. The jack boot that keeps them in control and us as their slaves. Crimes against humanity that should and possibly would be prosecuted at The Hague or in extra-judicial tribunals in this nation and elsewhere if humanity actually knew what was going on. Extra-judicial because the existing court systems are the rotten rationalizer of evil state acts and therefore cannot be trusted to mete out justice but rather to perpetuate the power of the state and its endless violence.
And to those useful idiots who espouse free market corporate capitalist ideals and think we need less state power and more free market corporate power to replace it, don't kid yourself. Politicians aren't smart enough to figure out how to apply all of this violence to the human family on their own. Corporate capitalism and all of the professional "careers" it provides is the enabler and beneficiary to all of this state secrecy. Without the unethical and outright evil behavior of corporate bureaucrats, who anti-democratically (the rule of man) control the intellectual and labor talent of humanity and violently direct it back onto us for their own pathological self-interest, politicians could do little more than tie their shoes. What we need is a restoration of power to We The People.
The world is ruled by an authoritarian class of pathological predators. What this recent revelation clearly now shows is the mockery of ostracizing low-level personnel for being the ring leaders at Abu Ghraib, as just one example, is an assault against the intelligence of every person on this planet. And the real people who should be held accountable for these crimes are sitting in Washington. The real violence starts at the top, or the controlling pathological predators, and now reality is starting to finally coming to light that proves everything that most people already knew. That is, the fish rots from the head first. And this fish is rotten to the core as all class-based, anti-democratic societies always have been and always will be.

Updated 2:38 p.m.: ODOT announced that the St. Johns Bridge is closed in both directions for all travelers. Police are on the scene.
Updated 11:50 a.m.: Judge rules Greenpeace will be fined $2,500 an hour if protest blocking Shell ship continues. This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
A Shell icebreaking vessel headed to an oil drilling site in the Arctic attempted to leave Portland Thursday but turned around and headed back to the dry dock after a brief standoff with protesters dangling from the St. Johns Bridge.
The U.S. Coast Guard escorted the icebreaker, named the Fennica, on the Willamette River and warned the activists that they were breaking the law.
Thirteen protesters used ropes to dangle from the bridge while more than a dozen others paddled below in kayaks. The stand-off went on for about 15 minutes before protesters watched as the Fennica turned around and headed back to the dock it came from.
"This is absolutely a victory. Basically we've stopped them," said Meredith Cox, one of the protest organizers.
The Fennica has been in Portland for repairs since Saturday. It was originally scheduled to depart Wednesday morning. Federal regulators say Shell can't start drilling until an icebreaker is on site.
The Greenpeace activists took their positions in the wee hours of Wednesday morning. Organizers say they have enough supplies to remain suspended from the bridge for several days.

Senna – Sana – Fan Xie Ye – Folium Senna
Ibn Qayyim in "Medicine of the Prophet" said, "Senna is hot and dry in the first degree and it is a good, mild medication that does not cause any side effects."
Ibn Qayyim relates the hadith, ""How do you deal with constipation?" She said, "By using Shubrum (euphorbia piteous)." The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, it is hot and too strong a laxative." She then said. "In addition, use Senna," and the Prophet replied, "If there is a cure that prevents death, it would be Senna." Further, Ibn Majah narrated that Abudllah ibn Umm Haram said that he heard the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, saying: "Use Senno and Sanoot (cumin), because they cure every disease, except Saam." He was asked, "What is Saam?" He said, 'Death'. ""
