The end of Talking Heads
Thank you for your comments regarding the ABCTV Series Talking Heads series completion. It is indeed....
- Margot Phillipson
Glenn Murcutt is the closest thing to a truly Australian architect. In 2002 he became the first Australian to win the Pritzker Prize, the worlds most prestigious architectural award.
Murcutt is best known for his simple but complex houses, built from timber, corrugated iron, and louvred glass, tailored to respond to their unique position in an environmentally sound way. On Talking Heads Glenn Murcutt discusses a childhood in Papua New Guinea contributed to an architectural philosophy, based on observation of the environment.
GLENN MURCUTT What are the three most important things in life? The first one's simplicity. Second one, simplicity. And, of course, the third one's simplicity.
PETER THOMPSON Here we are in the Adelaide Hills and this house seems to be a simple, even modest home in the Australian bush. But it contains some of the radical ideas that have made Glenn Murcutt the closest thing to a truly Australian architect. Glenn Murcutt is this week's Talking Head. Glenn Murcutt, welcome to Talking Heads.
GLENN MURCUTT Pleasure.
PETER THOMPSON Now, here we are, sitting just outside your brother's house in the Adelaide Hills and it's just gone though this record heatwave, so how did it stand up?
GLENN MURCUTT Well, the University of Adelaide have shown that when the temperature's 42 outside, the temperature inside is 25 degrees. And you can open up the whole house at night time, let it cool down, and during the day time, close down. And we have dark walls, but we've shaded them at this time of the year, so the sunlight is keeping off the walls, whereas in wintertime, the sunlight hits those walls and radiates the warmth, so it's not that complicated.
PETER THOMPSON I might be tempted to call this a style, but you'd object to that, wouldn't you?
GLENN MURCUTT Well, a style doesn't have any depth of principles behind it. A style, you can do this or do that or do something else. This is nothing to do with that. This is understanding where the orientation is, it's understanding where the cooling winds come from, it understands that you produce the bedroom at the eastern end because by the time the sun's gone to the western end, it's heating up enormously, the bedroom cools down. And you get verandas on the south, you get verandas on the north and so you design it so that you've got your winter sun penetration and exclusion of your summer sun to the house. And you work this house and you work most of my buildings like you sail a yacht. You have to work them so that you understand how to get the best out of the climate without having to aircondition.
PETER THOMPSON Now, I can see that style wasn't quite the word I should have used. If you agreed to take me on as your client, would I need millions of bucks?
GLENN MURCUTT No, first of all, I'd be taking you and then your partner or any associated person with you.
PETER THOMPSON The whole family?
GLENN MURCUTT The whole family would need to be understood here. So it's not just you.
PETER THOMPSON I suppose... but you're a famous architect. I'd be working with your underlings, wouldn't I?
GLENN MURCUTT No, I have no underlings. I'm a sole practitioner.
PETER THOMPSON Well, I'd at least be talking to your secretary, wouldn't I?
GLENN MURCUTT No secretary. No secretary, no staff.
PETER THOMPSON Well, what's your mobile phone number?
GLENN MURCUTT I don't have one. So I'm sorry, I... I'm difficult to get hold of. I know I'm very difficult to get hold of. But those who are really serious about wanting to get hold of me, whether they be here in Adelaide or Sydney or New York, they eventually know how to get hold of me. They're the people you need to know.
PETER THOMPSON Let's find out where this odyssey of Glenn Murcutt began.
GLENN MURCUTT We grew up in the highlands of New Guinea on the Upper Watut River. The lower end of the highlands, a very wild place with huge grasslands of kuni grass, huge rainforests. We were the only family within about 15km where we lived as Europeans. The rest of the people were Papua New Guineans and they cared for us, they played with us, they taught us pidgin. So Pidgin English was my first language. And a gypsy moth would fly only, probably, 30 metres above the ground and throw out our mail and food, as well. Christmas cakes, the lot, came by air.
In those forests live the Kuka Kuka people. And the Kuka Kukas were just below 1.5 metres in height. The kuni grass was 1.5 metres and, of course, you'd see them... see this little snakelike thing coming down through the grasses and you knew that was trouble ahead. Terribly frightening time. And it gave me a sense of fear, all my childhood, the evening, the darkness was when it would strike. And that fear lasted a long time.
During 1942, we had to get out of New Guinea very fast. And the Japanese had arrived. When I arrived in Sydney, of course, totally different environment. We came from lush environment, racing water, all black people to this monoculture of white people... where the postman came not by air, but by foot... with a bag over his shoulder, blowing a whistle. My parents thought that they wouldn't send me to school until I could speak English. So I started school when I was about eight.
I grew up in a family of five siblings. We had seven pianos in the house and in the mornings and evenings, the noise was terrible. And to concentrate was very hard. I found silence by leaving the house and I had set up in the bush a place where I could sit and draw and think quietly. That was my real reclusive place. From about the age of 13, my father took me on the hillside of Clontarf and examined the Angophora costatas. At the top of the hill, we could see the nutrients were far less, the trees were smaller, the leaf structure was smaller. As we went down the hillside, the structure was greater, trees were larger, nutrients were higher. And it's been with me for the rest of my life, understanding of place and it guided me in the design of my architecture.
I set about designing my own aeroplanes. I learnt how air moved and why a wing gave lift. We built a boat together, a racing skiff. It was a great experience, because sailing teaches you about wind, it teaches you about water and how you can capitalise on tides, how you can capitalise on wind pressure increases, all those things. So the junction of flight and boats has stood with me all my life. As my father was bringing in 'Architectural Forum's, he insisted that I read the principles underlying the designs of many works. And from the time I was 15 onwards, I decided I wanted to become an architect.
PETER THOMPSON Your dad seems to be quite a character.
GLENN MURCUTT Indeed. He was an amazing man in most ways. Very determined, he was the driving force in the family. He was very, very instructive all the time. Could never get away from him. Silence was so, so beautiful when one got it.
PETER THOMPSON Well, part of this personality was to be a bit of a tyrant as well in terms of the expectations on you and your siblings.
GLENN MURCUTT He was a tyrant. His expectations of himself and the level of survival he had to undertake to survive in Papua New Guinea was so great that he saw life for any child in Australia was absolutely living on the cushion.
PETER THOMPSON These people you lived among had a very evocative name.
GLENN MURCUTT Yeah. We lived amongst the Kuka Kuka people, now known as the Manyamia people. Um... at that time, fearsome people. And they actually attacked - now, at the time, we thought this was just terrible - and they killed... they killed a local German man by the name of Boem up there. They... they ate him and put his head on the airfield in Surprise Creek...
PETER THOMPSON You saw that?
GLENN MURCUTT We were told about this as children. And we'd be very careful. You've got to be very, very careful what you're doing, keep your eye open. You've got to observe, you've got to smell. Look, hear, smell. So the senses were very, very acutely developed for... almost like the way an animal's senses are developed for survival.
PETER THOMPSON Well, that's what's marked out your architecture, years and years later, that acute sense of... the senses.
GLENN MURCUTT It has had a huge impact. Observation has been my big learning tool. To observe what the sunlight is like, where it's coming from, where it's going to, what angle is it at, what shadow pattern is coming? Look at the trees, look at the way the light separates the elements in the landscape.
PETER THOMPSON You somehow decide by the age of 15 that the path you're going to take is architecture. What made that clear to you?
GLENN MURCUTT Um... my father made it very clear to me. He brought in 'Architectural Record' and 'Architectural Forum', both American journals. And he would find a very interesting article or a very interesting building and he'd give it to me and say, "Son, read this." And you'd say, "Oh, jeez, you know, I'd rather be playing outside than reading this." And I'd have to read it. And then he'd sit down and challenge me about it and say, "What about this? This question, why is it off the ground? Why is this building all glass?" You knew unless you got that answer, you would have to read the article again. And so it all of a sudden brought an interest about the underlying principles of buildings, of all sorts of buildings. And that I then began to find fascinating. But he knew I could deal with the ideas that he was articulating, what were in the journals and he could see that I might do well in architecture.
PETER THOMPSON Glenn, failures are often more telling than successes and at university you failed a big subject, Sunshine and Shade.
GLENN MURCUTT It's the only subject I had to repeat. I did a couple of posts, but I think I might be one of the few people that might have learnt something about sunshine and shade. It became a very, very integral part of my thinking.
PETER THOMPSON Well, soon after you married Helen, you went overseas to Europe to experience a whole new world of architecture.
GLENN MURCUTT In 1962, I travelled to Europe, worked in London, lived, finally, in the Greek Islands for six months altogether. I realised that the limitation of materials and the use of form and light were absolutely critical to understanding architecture. I also learnt what it was to be in a courtyard, to be with a group of people and to be in this courtyard surrounded entirely by walls with this beautiful light, beautiful food. I said, "This is life. This is architecture." I went up to the whole Nordic region. I experienced the work of some Swedish architects, Danish architects, the work of Utzon. And then on to see Aalto's work, which was just, for me, an opening up of the possibilities. He was an architect, a man who actually worked with the land and not against it.
I love living in Europe. I decided I was going to live in England and, tragically, a member of my wife's family was killed, our first son was born, Nicholas, and we said, "OK, let's pack up and go back to Australia," much before I was ready to come back. I felt very down about it. On the other hand, I worked in a very good office, Ancher, Mortlock, Murray and Woolley's. But, in a way, I realise I became unemployable because I had a different thing going inside me and I realised that I had to do it myself.
In 1969, I realised it was time for me to enter practice. Nine months after I was in practice, my brother realised that I didn't have much work on and he came to me and he said, "It would be really nice if you would design a house for us." That house was followed immediately by a house for Laurie Short. Both these buildings received recognition. And then, doing the mother's house, Marie Short. The house at Crescent Head, Kempsey area, was a turning point in my career. Marie said that she was going to possibly move the house to another site with the same orientation. So I had to design that it could be disassembled. What I realised in an area like Kempsey, where tank bending was a norm, I was able to actually roll the roof. And because I was able to roll it, I was able to get that, in a sense, airfoil section like that of an aircraft wing that gives the lift. So that roof, in fact, is lifting, pulling the air out. I don't know of any roof that was like that up to that time.
PETER THOMPSON In a short-hand way, some people might say your architecture's environmental architecture, but it's not... not quite the expression you'd use to describe it, is it?
GLENN MURCUTT It is about environment. But it's taking into account where materials come from, the true costs, to understand that timber is a very marvellous material. It's a renewable resource. It takes only five megajoules of energy to process a kilogram of timber. It's just marvellous. A kilogram of aluminium, for example, takes 143 megajoules of energy. Hugely different. So it allows you to proportion the use of materials in a building, put things together in a way you can pull apart and reuse them. That's a... that's a really important area, so we don't have the loss of materials. I've been thinking about that for a long time.
PETER THOMPSON You had a trade-off to make and you made it pretty early on in your career and that was would you work with others as part of a team and a partnership - and you did that for a few years - or would you go your own way? And the way you took would have been very difficult for you to actually be yourself in a partnership.
GLENN MURCUTT I'm headstrong. And yet, a lot of people don't realise that. They see a more gentle side, often and don't quite realise that when I'm determined, I am very determined. And if I think something is not reasonable, I'm not prepared to do that. If a council refuses my design that I think is reasonable, has a complete logic to it, I will negotiate as far as I can go. But then it's sudden death. Straight... straight to the Land and Environment Court. I won't take any more mucking around because I don't... I can't take the mucking around. It just drives me mad that I'm dealing with people that simply don't understand. So, I don't call myself an environmental architect. But I'm certainly interested in the environment.
PETER THOMPSON What did your dad say about you going alone in architecture?
GLENN MURCUTT Yes, um... it was in his last year of life. And it was very lucky for me that he was still alive at the time. Um... he said to me, "Son, now that you're entering your practice, you must remember to start off the way you would like to finish. "And for every compromise you make in your work, and you knowingly make in your work, you must remember the result represents the quality of your next client." Which was very significant pieces of advice. My career has been beleaguered by councils and, in particular, the planning department. I remember, in one case, where it was argued that the house didn't harmonise with the buildings in the area. Well, if you think of the word 'harmony,' harmony is disparate sounds when placed together make a pleasing whole. Are they asking me for harmony or are they, in fact, asking me for monotony? We like to put a building in the middle of the site and have all this ground all the way around it. We are much better off if we can open up so that we can get rooms on the southern part of a site, for example, that get a northern light through a courtyard. And in summer time, you can bring shade devices over this. This is entirely logical. But to get this through council requires incredible effort. These obstacles all the way. And the only way that one gets out of these is to go to the farm, where I get silence. Walking in the forests of the farm, going for a swim at Smokey Cape. To walk in the landscape is great peaceful time. It's wonderful. And just to be in my own head designing, even though it's frustrating at times and anxious-making, it is nevertheless the silence that I really need. I designed a house for Jenny Kee in Blackheath. And Bunduk Marika had become a friend of Jenny's. "Oh," she said, "I love Jenny's house." She said, "It is a healthy building. Would you consider designing a house for me one day?"
PETER THOMPSON It'll probably feel more at home having to be exposed to that environmental connection.
GLENN MURCUTT I went three or four times - sometimes up to about eight days - where we went out bush. I learnt to live on bush tucker. It was an extraordinary experience for me. To teach students internationally is wonderful, with receptive minds, questioning minds. There are no restrictions on you except your own perception. Teaching makes one a better architect, in my view. One has to articulate one's ideas and be clear about it. ..concentrated program over the next four days. I've been teaching in Yale and UCLA and Seattle and Dublin and Sydney. And I've also been teaching in Papua New Guinea several times. And speaking a little pidgin, again, gave me a very distinct connection back with the people. And it really did feel like I belonged.
PETER THOMPSON Going back to PNG also resolved a few other things for you, like your lifelong fear of the dark.
GLENN MURCUTT I... here I was, all my life, 'til I was 50 years of age, a fear of the dark. Remember, I did my course at night time and I had to walk 1.5 km from Seaforth down to Clontarf Beach through the bush in very dimly lit path and I was terrified, absolutely terrified. And it wasn't until I went back to New Guinea I realised what it was and I was able to handle that. And now I've got no difficulty at all. But it was Papua New Guinea that gave it to me and it also taught me what it was and I was able to deal with it after that.
PETER THOMPSON It also explains why you spend most of the night working, of course.
GLENN MURCUTT (Laughs) Maybe.
PETER THOMPSON You won the big Oscar, the big Nobel Prize for architecture, the Pritzker Prize. How did you feel when... when you picked up the phone and were told that?
GLENN MURCUTT Oh, I... I didn't believe it. I said, "Look, some of my friends would do this to me. How would I know? You're just... somebody on the end of the phone, could ring up and say, 'You're the recipient of this year's Pritzker Prize'." And so I said, "There's no way I can take you seriously on this." He said, "Well, look, I don't know how to convince you. You've got to take me seriously." And all of a sudden, I go into a cold sweat and I thought, "This guy might be right."
PETER THOMPSON Why was it such a shock?
GLENN MURCUTT Well, look, I've been practicing for a long time by myself very quietly, in a sense, in backwater in a way that's remote. I mean, nobody more surprised than me, I'm sure, and probably many architects pretty surprised, too. That's alright.
PETER THOMPSON There's another architect, a Spanish architect, Jose Antonio Coderch who was really quite important for you.
GLENN MURCUTT The Spaniards say he was a very tough man. To me, he was just so gentle. And he said... we got into conversation about all sorts of areas - of religion, of, of what was happening in music today and architecture was significant discussion, of course. And he said to me, he said, "I must tell you, I am 62 and with every new building, I am still very nervous. I am very anxious." That was, to me, a total release of my innermost fears that I saw, all around me, all my peers, with the greatest of confidence designing this work and I think, "Jesus, I'm so nervous about it all." He also said to me, "I tell my students you must put into your work, first, effort, secondly, love and finally - and I must say, very Catholic Spanish - suffering."
I feel very comfortable practising the way I do. I feel very comfortable about not having staff. I find it very difficult to say, "I don't think it's good enough. Do it better," and I tend to get angry and I don't like that side of me. So I decided a long time ago that if I'm going to expand at all, I will take on an equal collaboration with those for whom I have enormous respect.
Over the years, Wendy Lewin, also an architect, had collaborated on a number of projects with me. It wasn't until the late '90s that we came together, we married and we continue to run our practices separately. Today, I don't make any models. It's all done through eye, hand, thinking and drawing. When I am thinking and I'm drawing by hand, I've arrived at where I was going before I've realised I've arrived. That's not the same with a stencil or a computer. It's entirely different.
Of course, the Pritzker Prize has had an immense impact on me, personally, my life and the people around me. Just how fortunate can one be? In the first year, of course, you are subjected to literally hundreds and hundreds of phone calls from various agencies wanting to do something. It meant that I couldn't get my work done. I'm, all the time, in anxiety. I mean, my life is one of anxiety, anxiety, anxiety. I don't know how to control that, so the Pritzker's made it worse, in that sense. But, at another level, what a wonderful thing to have happened in one's life.
PETER THOMPSON Glenn, in all those years of practice, what's given you most satisfaction?
GLENN MURCUTT Well, 39 years of practice, I've met so many clients and all of them, without exception - maybe one or two exceptions - I can say it'd be wonderful to see them again and to be able to know that our friendships have been developed through my being their architect in that process.
PETER THOMPSON Thanks for taking us through the contours of your life. It's been great.
GLENN MURCUTT Thank you, Peter, very much.

University of Twente (NL) is involved as chairman and member of the governance team. The University participates with its Twente Centre for Studies in Technology and Sustainable Development (CSTM). Over the past decades, this Centre has done a wide range of studies focusing on water governance in various countries. This has resulted in a model of governance that helps to describe how water management is organized for a specific sector at a certain point in time. In the past years, this model of governance was developed into an assessment tool.
Pitch of Hans Bressers – professor Policy studies
In the DROP project, the governance team further develops the governance assessment tool for drought adaptation in a European context. In addition, the team visits all six regions of the practice partners twice: in Autumn 2013 and Spring 2014. The purpose of these visits is to identify what aspects of the regional governance contexts support or restrict drought adaptation measures. The results will be laid down in various reports ( (inclusively report governance assessment) and discussed in transnational meetings.
For more information about this partner, visit the website of CSTM: www.utwente.nl/cstm/.

In 2013, Little Green Fingers has been able to complete the construction of its first two community gardens (Mariposa-Nabi Garden in Koreatown and West Athens Victory Garden in South LA) designed especially for needy families with young children.
We've begun our innovative cooking and nutrition programming to help gardeners and their families learn how to eat healthier as well as recently launching www.LittleGreenFingersLA.org to highlight the initiative and to provide gardening and health resources for families. Thanks to significant regional media coverage on the initiative including KABC, KTLA, KMEX, Telemundo, LA Times, LA Sentinel, and La Opinion, we've been able to share the vision and impact of Little Green Fingers with hundreds of thousands of Southern Californians.
The Mariposa-Nabi garden in Koreatown, which just celebrated its first anniversary, is thriving and was recently highlighted on Univision's national morning program where it was named "the healthiest garden in the world." Recently, we completed the first cooking & nutrition program for more than 20 families that consisted of a series of five cooking classes where moms and dads learned how to prepare healthy and nutritious meals. In addition to preparing a meal for more than 80 people to enjoy, the families were also sent home with the complete food ingredients to prepare each meal for their families at home. The cooking program, provided ingredients for families to prepare food to collectively serve 400 family members at home and provided an additional 400 meals that gardener families helped to prepare during the cooking demonstration classes over five weeks. It was particularly heartwarming to see kids from throughout the Koreatown neighborhood descend on the kitchen and partake of a sumptuous community dinner filled with laughter, songs and healthy food.
Additional News Coverage and videos on the Mariposa-Nabi Garden can be found here:
Mariposa Nabi Grand Opening Video
Mariposa Nabi Cooking & Nutrition Program Video
We were pleased to celebrate the Grand Opening of the West Athens Victory Garden this fall with Supervisor Mark Ridley Thomas, State Senator Rod Wright and with hundreds of kids and their families. The event was the culmination of a comprehensive community stakeholder design process as well as more than four community workdays that involved hundreds of volunteers including some members of the Southern California Gas Company and the Walt Disney Company who donated their weekend time to help build garden beds, a water cistern and a tricycle path.
The impact of transforming an empty one acre lot at 105th & Normandie in South Los Angeles into a vibrant community garden already is beginning to provide innumerable benefits. The garden is expected to provide a minimum of 6,000 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables each year for low-income families living in this "food desert" community where there is little access to affordable, healthy produce.
The garden directly serves 40 families with an average family size of 3.5 people per household; the garden will benefit 140 people directly and through partnerships with local schools and their families, it will benefit nearly 10,000 people and indirectly benefit 40,000 people.
The garden also will serve the local elementary school (Woodcrest Elementary) that already is planning field trips to the site. The school has 398 students who will directly benefit and they are part of families that make up an additional 1,393 people. We're also setting up a program with the local high school (George Washington Prep) that has 2,130 students who are part of families that make up an additional 7,455 people.
The Community Gardeners are currently in the process of completing their Master Gardener training and will soon begin a cooking and nutrition educational program.
Additional News Coverage of the West Athens Victory Garden can be found here:
Project Reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.

Drag to set position!
Group Since July 31, 2011
This group discussion is for members only.
Group Description"Capture the Word" is a weekly photography project meant to see the world differently... one word at a time.
The inspiration of the project came while listening to the talented and inspirational Penny De Los Santos. Penny is a respected and award-winning photographer who contributes to Saveur Magazine and National Geographic Magazine. She explained how she and other photographers that she worked with in LA would pick one word a week (such as "blue" or "blurry") and focus on seeing that word around them and shooting it however they saw fit. Just like athletes need to stretch, photographers (professionals or beginners) need and can use this exercise to help stretch their mind in how they see things through the lens. Our goal in creating this project is for the "Word" will hopefully force you to open your eyes and mind while expanding your comfort zone and look at the world around all of us in a new light.
This group is open to anyone and everyone who'd like to join and stretch their photographic mind. There is no right or wrong camera to use, whether it is a DSLR, point & shoot, iPhone, Blackberry, Android, Polaroid, disposable or whatever else you want to use. The medium does not matter as much as the vision of the photographer.
So join us every Wednesday morning on Twitter for the new "Word" using the hashtag #CaptureTheWord. From there, you have until the following Monday to see the word, capture it and upload it to the "Capture The Word" Flickr group with a description of your interpretation of the word. Once it's uploaded, tweet it with the link and the hashtag #capturetheword so we can all learn from each others vision. Brian Samuels (@MyFoodThoughts) and Ethan Adeland (@EthanAdeland) will host the group, along with a variety of weekly co-hosts.
It's a chance to grow individually and collectively as photographers but also to share with one another our collective view of how we see the world one word at a time.

I'm suffering from hair lose problem from last few months, I tried many shampoo and oil but didn't get any results, so please suggest me what should I do.
I have an oily face and day by day it becomes black and I'm loosing my colour can I get some home remedy.
With oily skin, the constant feeling of stickiness, excessive pimples, and never-feels-fresh can be extremely stressful. The skin, by its nature, has oil and sebaceous glands in the underlying layers, and an excess amount of these glands can lead to skin being extremely oily. There are, however, various products available in the market that are specifically meant for oily skin types. In addition, there are various things that can be included as part of regular skin care to manage oily skin to leave you with more glowing, less oily appearance.
Read on to know more.
- Face wash: Regular cleaning, at least twice a day, is one of the best skin care regimen to manage an oily skin. Warm water and soap or a non-soap cleanser should be used to wash the face. These contain substances like benzoyl peroxide, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and you might have to try a couple of products to see what would suit you best. If you have acne, benzoyl peroxide would also help control acne. In the initial days, it might cause some redness and itching, but will soon subside. Also, be careful not to overwash it in an attempt to wash off the oil constantly. This can cause dryness and irritation too. If the oiliness is too much to manage, then using blotting pads or even regular tissue paper to remove the oiliness during the day can be useful.
- Choosing cosmetics: Using oil free or water based cosmetics is more beneficial and helps control the oiliness. Also, choosing a right moisturizer and applying it rightly is very essential. The face is not evenly oily, some parts would be oilier than others. A moisturizer with petrolatum or lanolin should be avoided.
- Skin contact: With oily skin, avoid hair falling onto your face, as also hands, especially if you have nails. There is a high tendency to pick on acne which only increases the spread.
- Skin toner: An oil free, alcohol free toner can be used on the oiliest patch. This will be light on the skin and help reduce the sticky feeling. While using this, keep in mind the patches that are oily and dry and apply it only on the areas that are oily.
- Sun exposure: Limit sun exposure by using oil-free, water-based sun screen products. This is essential to block pores and provide sun protection.
- Exacerbating factors: While sebaceous glands usually become active during puberty and subside over a few years, for some, they may continue to be active into adulthood. This causes acne, and is aggravated by humid or cold weathers, stress, or by certain foods. Identify these changes and try to avoid them.
These simple, easy-to-follow measures will definitely help manage oily skin much more effectively.
Are you bored with how your skin appears? Well, there are techniques to give it a new life. Your skin's natural baby look can be back with techniques like chemical peels. It is a technique that can improve the appearance of your skin. A chemical solution is put on the skin. It causes the skin to exfoliate and later beef off. The new skin looks smooth and it is free from wrinkles. The new skin is more sensitive to the sun on a temporary basis. There are three types of chemical peel:
Superficial or Lunchtime Peel: In this technique, alpha-hydroxy acid or some mild acid is made to penetrate into the outer layer of skin. This exfoliates the skin. It helps to deal with mild skin discoloration and rough skin.
Medium Peel: Glycolic or trichloroacetic acid is put on the skin so as to penetrate the middle layers of skin. It removes damaged skin cells. The treatment is used for improving age spots, fine lines and wrinkles.
Deep Peel: Trichloroacetic acid or phenol is used for penetrating the middle layer of the skin. It will help in removing moderate lines, and shallow scars.
What must be done before considering a chemical peel?
It is always advisable to consult a dermatologist first before taking up the decision to try a chemical peel.
What are the skin flaws that can be treated by chemical peels?
Chemical peels are used for treating a number of skin problems, including the following ones:
Acne scars
Ageing skin
Crow's feet
Sun damaged skin
Sagging skin
Who should not take up a chemical peel?
It is generally believed that light-haired and fair-skinned people can go for chemical peels. It doesn't go well with dark-skinned patients. It is also not recommended for people living with some infection.
Acne scars are not just embarrassing, but in some cases are painful as well. However, with these below mentioned derma treatments you can easily get rid of these scars.
- Derma rollers: Derma rollers are small rollers that contain dozens of needles 0.25 mm in diameter and up to 2 mm in length. They reach the papillary dermis of the skin (deeper than the lasers and peels). Derma roller rips the fibrous connections intergrown by scars and strongly stimulates the healing processes, that is, the collection of macrophage and growth factors. The results are visible six weeks after the treatment. They are especially suitable to people with darker complexion.
- Laser Treatment: A dermatologist is the best option if the acne scars don't reduce or fade away with time. Collagen is one of the building blocks of your skin and is an essential protein. Fractionated laser is a new technology that can smooth the surface of your skin and promote new collagen formation. Laser treatment can obliterate the scar and help smooth skin to form in its place instead. Filler injections help fill any indentation resulting from deeper acne scars. The only drawback to this is that fillers need to be re done after every 6 months or so as it gets reabsorbed over time into the skin.
- Time heals all wounds: Patience is very important when you want to see scars fade away. Newly formed blood vessels, few weeks after the scar is formed, nourish the skin. Most scars in their early stages look pink for this reason. Collagen starts forming months later and fills in the injuries on the skin. Fat cells and skin are destroyed in cystic acne; so for the scars to vanish completely, it might take a year or more.
- Prevention Tips: The best preventive method for scar formation is not to squeeze pimple. Popping a pimple leads to deeper infiltration of bacteria and pus. This damages the collagen further. A common skin care myth is that Vitamin E helps scars in healing faster. Contrary to prior belief, direct application of Vitamin E on a scar might hinder the healing process instead of facilitating it.
- Use a sunscreen: Use a sunscreen with a high SPF over 30. The middle of the day is the worst time to step out in the sun. Reapply the sunscreen every two hours, if you sweat profusely.

Pinacolborane is used as a precursor of boronic esters by hydroboration or coupling reactions. It acts as a monofunctional hydroborating agent. It is used in the synthesis of unsymmetrical biaryls through aromatic C-H borylation-cross-coupling sequence. It is involved in the preparation of 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-thiophen-2-yl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolane by reacting with 2-iodo-thiophene. Further, it is used to prepare vinylboronates by palladium-catalyzed coupling with alkenyl triflates and iodides.

After all, before becoming an in-demand consultant and author, he himself was a Wall Street lawyer and he lists among his friends investment bankers, surgeons and advertising executives. Consequently, he says, "Generation X" - as the marketing industry has dubbed those born between 1963 and 1981 - cannot be dismissed as a group of people with "short attention spans and no work ethic, dropping out of the rat race to live off of our parents or barely surviving in low-pay, low-status, short-term 'McJobs'".
While that is true for some, the vast majority are still trying to make it in mainstream companies. "The problem is that these hard-working X- ers fall victim on the job to the same 'slacker' stereotype that we see in the media. We feel misunderstood at work and often mismanaged as a result," he writes in his book Managing Generation X.
Mr Tulgan, who was in London last week to address a high-profile conference for human resources specialists, acknowledges that much of what he complains about - for example, lack of communication, too little genuine delegation, too much emphasis on time-keeping - apply to workers of all ages. "Broad trends about management cut across all age groups," he says. "Some of what I've prescribed is just good management."
Yet he insists that those problems are particularly acute for Generation X. Pointing out that such people have been raised to be independent in an environment that is characterised by immediacy, uncertainty and the swift exchange of information, he says: "So what might be good management generally is absolutely essential for managing the emerging generation."
For the moment, managers seem to be threatened by a generation whose view of life they do not understand. But Mr Tulgan urges them to adopt a different point of view.
While older workers are struggling to adapt to change, Generation X-ers have the advantage that the current age of turmoil is all that they know. Moreover, the very factors that are felt to stigmatise them could be looked at from another angle - they could be advantages in the new world.
Consequently, the disloyalty that Generation X-ers are often accused of displaying can, for example, be seen as flexibility or adaptability to change. At the same time, the independence resulting from many in the generation growing up as "latchkey kids" while both parents are at work can create the sort of self-motivated problem-solvers that companies say they need.
Indeed, Mr Tulgan goes so far as to suggest that - looked at in a positive way - the Generation X-er is the kind of worker that businesses increasingly say they are looking for.
Having written the book as "an accident", initially while completing what he describes as his "428 days on Wall Street", he has formed a consultancy, called Rainmaker, that specialises in researching the views of Generation X and helping organisations to recruit and better understand them. While the book is filled with complaints about managers drawn from interviews with about 1,000 young workers, he says he has received a good response from clients as varied as Deloitte & Touche, the international firm of accountants and management consultants, and Kentucky Fried Chicken, the fast-food operation. "Managers tend to be encouraged by the fact that the person they are looking for is right there," he says.
But it is one thing to identify the right people and quite another to keep them. Mr Tulgan believes that paying a little attention to the views distilled in the book and the researches he has carried out since can help managers to face up to the challenge of retaining stars.
Pointing out that he has been interviewing people of his age group for several years, he adds: "I say to managers, if you've ever wondered what employees whisper about over lunch I can tell you." And though the findings may surprise them he does not advocate the sort of fundamental change that has become fashionable with management consultants. Instead, he says he "offers them a nail file to make some adjustments".
Not that he is just aiming at managers. He is also targeting the new breed of workers themselves with tips for survival in the modern workplace. A new book, just completed and called Work This Way, is basically a manual on how to succeed in the "post-job era".
In the meantime, June will see the publication of The Manager's Pocket Guide to Generation X, a small volume which, among other things, describes a tool designed to help young workers to deal with a world without steady career progression. It introduces the notion of "micro-managing yourself", which fundamentally is meant to be an aid to helping them better understand their tasks and responsibilities by breaking their work into "bite-sized chunks".
The power of that, he maintains, lies in its adaptability to other aspects. Indeed, it will, he adds, "help set goals for the rest of their lives".
'Managing Generation X - How to bring out the best in young talent' by Bruce Tulgan is published by Capstone. (pounds 15.99)

Firms Agree to U.S. Review Of Derivatives Operations
By SAUL HANSELL
Published: March 10, 1995
WASHINGTON, March 9— In a move that will close a gap in Government scrutiny of sophisticated finance, six big brokerage firms voluntarily agreed today to submit their previously unregulated derivatives operations to the review of Federal regulators.
The initiative is an effort to head off moves in Congress to legislate new controls over the securities industry, in which some participants, like banks, are closely supervised, while others are not regulated at all.
Derivatives are financial instruments whose value is linked to the prices of given assets, like stocks, bonds, or currencies. Some derivatives, such as futures and options, are already regulated because they are traded on exchanges.
But concern has grown about the rise of derivatives contracts that are traded privately, because these deals fall beyond the reach of the traditional securities and commodities market regulators.
The firms that devised the plan are Goldman, Sachs; Merrill Lynch & Company; the CS First Boston Corporation; Morgan Stanley; Lehman Brothers, and Salomon Brothers. Together, they account for more than 90 percent of the derivatives business in the United States not handled by banks.
The voluntary oversight is mainly meant to address concerns that the failure of one dealer in derivatives could engulf the financial system. These concerns have been heightened since Barings P.L.C., the British investment bank, failed after losing $1 billion in derivatives trading.
"The commitment of the firms today enables us to see and more accurately assess the risks of unregulated affiliates of securities firms in the derivatives markets and to make sure they adhere to a fairly stringent set of standards," said Arthur Levitt Jr., chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will share the new oversight powers along with the Commodities Futures Trading Commission.
Mr. Levitt said he expected other securities firms to volunteer to follow the same standards.
But Jim Leach, the Iowa Republican who is chairman of the House Banking Committee, said the firms' efforts were not enough.
While he welcomed the move, he said, "it does not eliminate the need for a supervisor framework that can only be bolstered through legislation." Mr. Leach noted that the agreement still left the derivatives units of smaller securities firms, as well as those of insurance companies, largely unregulated.
The plan announced here today, at a meeting at the S.E.C., relates to the derivatives sold by the otherwise unregulated derivatives units of the six firms. The firms agreed to minimum standards for controlling the risk of their derivative positions and for disclosing details of those positions regularly to the S.E.C. and the commodities commission, which monitors futures trading.
The firms agreed to take action in four areas:
*They will enact internal controls so that a firm's board authorizes the maximum risks taken by derivatives subsidiaries. And they will create independent departments to monitor derivatives trading.
*The firms will issue a series of reports to regulators, including a list of the 20 counterparties -- clients or other dealers -- to whom they have the greatest derivatives exposure, helping regulators monitor unusual market activity. The firms also agreed to disclose their profits from various derivatives businesses, something banks must disclose.
*The firms will develop computer models to measure how much capital they need to cushion against risks in their derivatives trading, and to share those models with regulators. They did not agree to limit capital allocations on the basis of the models, though.
*The firms will submit to some standards on how to deal with clients, saying that they should not provide misleading information to clients. But they did not agree that clients should rely on their brokers for advice about derivatives deals.
Thus, the plan does not address what constitutes fraud in derivatives deals, nor does it require that dealers insure that their contracts are "suitable" for customers. That has been the issue in cases in which clients from Gibson Greetings Inc. to Orange County, Calif., said they were not apprised of the risks of their deals.
The last area drew some sharp criticism.
"There is very little progress in the area of sales practices," said a spokesman for Representative Edward J. Markey of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the House subcommittee overseeing securities regulation. "Mr. Markey has introduced a bill to authorize the S.E.C. to set capital levels, make inspections, prevent fraud and develop sales practice rules for unregulated derivative subsidiaries."
The new rules do not cover derivatives, like futures, that are already regulated. Futures -- agreements to buy or sell something at a set price on a specific future date -- were at the heart of the trading strategy that brought down Barings.
