'Decision support system (DSS) for prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among hypertensive (HTN) patients in Andhra Pradesh, India' – a cluster randomised community intervention trial
Very few studies having decision support systems as an intervention report on patient outcomes for cardiovascular disease in the Western world. The potential role of decision support system for the management of blood pressure among Indian hypertensives remains unclear. We propose a cluster randomised trial that aims to test the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of DSS among Indian hypertensive patients.
The trial design is a cluster randomised community intervention trial, in which the participants would be adult male and female hypertensive patients, in the age group of 35 to 64 years, reporting to the Primary Health Care centres of Mahabubnagar district, Andhra Pradesh, India. The objective of the study is to test the effectiveness and compare the cost effectiveness and cost utility among hypertensive subjects randomized to receive either decision support system or a chart based algorithmic support system in urban and rural areas of a district in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India (baseline versus 12 months follow up). The primary outcome would be a comparison of the systolic blood pressure at 0 and 12 months among hypertensive patients randomized to receive the decision support system or the chart based algorithmic support system. Computer generated randomisation and an investigator and analyser blinded method would be followed. 1600 participants; 800 to each arm; each arm having eight clusters of hundred participants each have been recruited between 01 August 2011 - 01 March 2012. A twelve month follow up will be completed by March 2013 and results are expected by April 2013.
This cluster randomized community intervention trial on DSS will enable policy makers to find out the effectiveness, cost effectiveness and cost utility of decision support system for management of blood pressure among hypertensive patients in India. Most of the previous studies on decision support system have focused on physician performance, adherence and on preventive care reminders. The uniqueness of the proposed study lies in finding out the effectiveness of a decision support system on patient related outcomes.
Trial registration
CTRI/2012/03/002476, Clinical Trial Registry - India.
Compared with all other countries, India suffers the highest loss in Potentially Productive Years of Life Lost (PPYLL), due to deaths from cardiovascular disease in people aged 35–64 years (9·2 million PPYLL in 2000, with a projected loss of 17.9 million PPYLL by 2030)
In an analysis of worldwide data for the global burden of hypertension, 20.6% of Indian males and 20.9% of Indian females were suffering from hypertension in 2005
However, only about 25.6% of treated patients had their blood pressure under control, in a multi center study from India on awareness, treatment and adequacy of control of hypertension
Decision support systems have been defined as the tools that help clinicians decide on a course of action in response to an understanding of the patient's status. These have been devised to improve the management of hypertension and to help the Physician prescribe evidence based standardized medical care that will result in achieving adequate blood pressure control among hypertensive patients. DSS is a software that helps the Physician to (1) undertake a thorough evaluation of risk factors (2) to classify the risk level (3) to follow a software prompted algorithmic guideline based drug management (which has been developed based on Indian Hypertension guidelines II
Very few studies having Decision support systems (DSS) as an intervention report on patient outcomes for cardiovascular disease in the Western world. The potential role of DSS for the management of blood pressure among Indian hypertensives remains unclear. We propose a cluster randomised trial that aims to test the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of DSS among Indian hypertensive patients.
Research question(s)
Are Decision Support Systems effective in lowering the blood pressure (therefore the risk for CVD) and improving the Quality of Life among hypertensive subjects in a Low and Middle Income setting? Are Decision Support Systems (DSS) cost effective in hypertensive subjects for prevention of cardiovascular diseases?
The objective of the study is to test the effectiveness and compare the cost effectiveness and cost utility among hypertensive subjects randomized to receive DSS or a chart based algorithmic support system in urban and rural areas of a district in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India (baseline versus 12 months follow up).
To develop, pilot test and implement a decision support system for hypertensive subjects
1. To recruit and follow up hypertensive subjects for 12 months
2. To evaluate the effectiveness of DSS on CV risk reduction and quality of life scores
3. To compare the CEA and CUA among hypertensive subjects
Primary end point
· To compare the SBP (Systolic Blood Pressure) at 0 and 12 months among hypertensive patients randomized to receive the DSS or the chart based algorithmic support system
Secondary end point
· To compare the Quality of Life (QoL) scores at 0 and 12 months among hypertensive patients randomized to receive the DSS or the chart based algorithmic support system
· To compare the Cost effectiveness of the DSS versus the chart based algorithmic support system at the end of 12 months among hypertensive patients.
· To compare the Cost utility of the DSS versus the chart based algorithmic support system at the end of 12 months among hypertensive patients.
Inclusion criterion
1. Adult male and female Indians in the age group of 35 – 64 years
2. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) of 140 mm Hg or greater and/or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of 90 mm Hg or greater (irrespective of antihypertensive medications)
3. Informed written Consent form
Exclusion criterion
Hypertensive subjects who have been hospitalized within the last 12 months and subjects with a history of cancer (physician certified).
Randomly chosen Primary Health Care centers (PHCs), matched on population size and literacy rate, from a district in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India have been cluster randomized to receive a DSS or a chart based algorithmic support system (Figure
Figure 1
Plan for Randommisation.
Plan for Randomisation.
Physicians from the PHCs, who have been randomised to receive the DSS arm would necessarily be trained and instructed to follow the algorithms and prompts which would arise out of the computer based software, for management of BP. DSS is a software that helps the Physician to (1) undertake a thorough evaluation of risk factors that hypertensive patients may have for developing a cardiovascular disease, (2) to classify the risk level, (3) to follow a software prompted algorithmic guideline based drug management (which would be developed based on Indian Hypertension guidelines II – 2007) and (4) to give alerts on the counselling on lifestyle changes and adherence to medication.
The chart based algorithmic support system will have the guidelines and lifestyle advices printed as a poster format which would then be pasted on the wall of the PHC clinics. The Physicians from the PHCs, who have been randomised to receive the chart based support arm, would be instructed to follow the poster based guidelines for management of BP. The risk factors that need to be specifically elicited, classification of risk among hypertensive subjects, flow chart for drug management and advice for lifestyle interventions would be included as a simple flow chart.
The DSS will be developed, pilot tested in 10% of sample size and then implemented. Physician advice on lifestyle interventions, which would include counselling on reduction of daily salt intake (reduction in papad and pickle intake) and locally relevant fatty food items (ghee, vanaspati and dalda), advice on benefits of brisk walking for 30 min daily (5-7 days in a week), advice on benefits of smoking cessation and adherence to treatment would be available for patients randomized to DSS intervention arm at 0, 6 and 12 months and at 0 month for patients randomized to receive chart based algorithmic support system. Physical measurements such as height, weight, waist circumference, pulse and Blood Pressure (BP) would be measured by a digital BP monitor at 0, 6 and 12 months after study entry (Figure
Figure 2
Follow up of patients.
Follow up of patients.
Blood pressure and pulse measurement
All Blood Pressure (BP) measurements taken by the Physician will be performed in a standardised way using digital blood pressure equipments (Model M5, Omron) supplied and validated for the study. BP will be measured on the right upper arm in the sitting position, after a rest of 5 minutes. Using an appropriate sized cuff (which will be recorded) connected to a digital device, and the same arm (which will be recorded), at a similar time of day (which will be recorded), two measurements will be taken at a minute interval. Instructions will be given to the Physicians to ensure that the lower edge of the bladder be placed 2-3 cm above the position of maximal pulsation of the brachial artery in the arm, just above the antecubital fossa. Care would be taken to ensure that the cuff fits firmly, comfortably and is well secured. The mean of the two readings will be used for analysis.
Pulse measurements will be recorded by the digital blood pressure equipment (Model M5, Omron), after a rest of 5 minutes. The digital BP equipment records the systolic, diastolic BP and the pulse in the same sitting, which would be recorded. The average of the two readings will be used for the analysis.
Height, weight and waist circumference measurements
The participants would be weighed in light indoor clothing with a digital weighing machine (Tanita weighing Scale) with 100 g accuracy, which would be standardized across all the centers. Height would be measured in bare feet with Seca 213 Portable Freestanding stadiometer, accurate to 1 mm. Care would be taken to ensure that all the PHCs have the same equipment make, type and validation procedures.
Data collection
Data on known cardiovascular risk factors (age, sex, tobacco usage, history of diabetes mellitus, family history of premature coronary artery disease); any associated clinical conditions (physician certified cerebro vascular disease, cardiovascular disease, renal, vascular diseases); target organ damage (physician certified left ventricular hypertrophy, hypertensive retinopathy and microalbuminuria); and quality of life scores (based on WHO BREF questionnaire will be collected at 0, 6 and 12 months after randomization.
Quality of life questionnaire
World Health Organization (WHO) QoL BREF questionnaires, which have been validated in Indian settings for chronic diseases, would be utilised in this study. WHOQOL was designed as an international cross-culturally comparable quality of life assessment instrument
Cost effectiveness analysis
A comparison of costs in monetary units with outcomes in quantitative non-monetary units would done in the Cost Effectiveness Analysis (CEA)
A third party payer perspective will be employed in this project, as this would enable the tangible costs to be directly compared between both the intervention arms.
The value of all goods, services, and other resources consumed in providing health care or dealing with side effects or other current and future consequences of health care comprise the direct costs. Direct health care and direct non health costs will be measured in this study. The physician services, hospital services, drugs, costs of the DSS software development, costs for charts (posters) etc. involved in delivery of health care would comprise the direct health care costs. Transportation to and from the site of care would comprise the indirect costs. Marginal costs analysis would be done in which how outcomes change with changes in costs (e.g., relative to a comparator), would be analysed. The time horizon for the costs involved would be for a duration of a year.
A reduction or worsening of systolic BP would be compared (in non monetary terms). The time horizon would be for a duration of one year.
Thus, costs and outcomes will be
Sensitivity analysis
Since any estimation of costs and outcomes has an uncertainty element attached to it, a sensitivity analysis, which would include a change in discount rates, would be done to account for the changes in the cost-effectiveness planes of one intervention compared to another.
Cost Effectiveness Ratio (CER)
The costs and outcomes for both the outcomes will be calculated to yield a CER.
Cost utility analysis (CUA)
Measures costs in monetary units with outcomes in terms of their utility attribute [Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALYs)], i.e. cost per QALY. Cost utility would be measured by Incremental Cost Effectiveness Ratios (ICERs) between both the groups. ICER is a ratio between the differences in the cost involved between the intervention proposed (in Indian National Rupees) and the difference in QALYs between the groups.
Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) would be measured on a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) preference scale with a maximum score of 100 (perfect or best imaginable health) and minimum score of 0 (a quality of life which equals worst health imagined) to measure the value of the health state. The weights for the quality will be based on the (1) preferences of the participants, (2) measured on an interval scale and (3) anchored on perfect health and death. The value of a health state would then be combined with the time spent to calculate the total QALYs. Usefulness, interpretability, and responsiveness were the determining factors to choose VAS as the preferred way to measure the utility of the present health state.
Sample size, sampling and recruitment
Randomly chosen 8 PHCs – 4 urban and 4 rural (homogenous in age and gender distribution) for each intervention arm from a district in the State of AP, India would form the study centers. Each PHC has an out patient load of 50-100 patients/day. 2- 4 hypertensive patients are being envisaged to be recruited per day by the Physician per PHC from the patients attending the out patient clinic in the PHC. 10- 20 patients per week per PHC, 20- 40 per month per PHC and 125 patients in 4-6 months. Study recruitment will last from June 2011 to Dec 2011.
Ethical principles
The participants would be given sufficient time to understand the contents of the PIS (containing the study purpose, duration, study procedures, right to withdrawal from the study, details of patient confidentiality, ethical committee clearances, the study team details), and encouraged to ask questions regarding any aspects of the study procedures that they have not understood. The written informed consent form will be read out aloud in the native language to the study participants. They will be given an opportunity to seek clarifications on any issues that have not been understood. The signatures would be obtained by the Physician who would be recruiting the hypertensive patients for the study. The Physician would also sign and date the informed consent form. One copy would be given to the patients and one copy would be retained at the study site.
Hypertension exerts a substantial burden on cardiovascular health status and health care systems in India. Treatment however can be costly and health care providers are interested in both whether treatments can offer improvements in disease burden and whether they represent value for money. Economic evaluations seek to resolve this issue by producing results that can be used to inform and assist the decision maker in allocating scarce health care resources. DSS have been in place in the developed world to achieve a balance between quality and cost of chronic disease health care. To the best of the author's knowledge, there have been no randomized studies on DSS to enable policy makers to find out the effectiveness, cost effectiveness and cost utility analysis (CUA) of DSS for hypertensive patients in India. The cluster randomised community trial aims to test a decision support system among Indian hypertensive patients. Most of the previous studies on decision support system have focused on physician performance, adherence and on preventive care reminders. The uniqueness of the proposed study lies in finding out the effectiveness of a decision support system on patient related outcomes.
There are no known risks attributable to DSS per se. If the participant is receiving DSS, the software assisting the Physician prompts him or her to prescribe a particular class of drug to manage and control blood pressure. If the participant is receiving the chart based algorithmic support system, the decision to start or continue a drug is entirely up to the Physician's judgement. The software will be developed and pilot tested and will be based on standard Indian Hypertension society guidelines (2007), which have been endorsed by the Association of Physicians of India and the Indian Cardiological Society. Adverse events that may arise due to the drugs will be monitored and any serious adverse events will be notified to the ethical committee within 24 hours. Should any serious adverse events arise the participants would be given the necessary care in the primary health care centre and if necessary will be transferred to the Rural Hospital. Substitution of the drugs causing adverse events is left to the decision of the Physician. Blood will be drawn by a qualified and an experienced phlebotomist, with due precautions. The quality of life questionnaire would be adapted from WHO BREF questionnaire which has been validated in India. Patient confidentiality will be maintained at data entry and data analysis stage.
This cluster randomised community trial aims to test effectiveness, cost effectiveness and cost utility analysis of a decision support system among Indian hypertensive patients in comparison to a chart based algorithmic support system (that will have the guidelines and lifestyle advices printed as a poster format). The utility of DSS in management of hypertension will be tested in this pilot study. Subsequent scale up of DSS and future studies of DSS in management of different domains of cardiovascular diseases are envisaged based on the results of this pilot study.

Fumbling Toward Enlightenment
Dr. Brian Luke Seaward
Please join us for "Fumbling Toward Enlightement," an exciting workshop by Dr. Brian Luke Seaward hosted by The Graduate Institute.
Somwhere between Maslow's hierarchy of needs and Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey, we navigate our lives between a motivation of fear and love, more often than, not fear. Despite our best efforts to sail gracefully in the direction of divine luminosity, our attempts can be described as "fumbling toward enlightenment." There are untold potholes on the road marked compassion in action.
Two of the most profound questions you can ever ask yourself are these; "Who am I?" and "Why am I here?" If you are like most people, you may find yourself asking these questions several times in the course of your life. Ironically, even when you think you have the answers, occasionally the winds of change blow strong enough to make you re-evaluate your assumptions. This second, third or fourth look; a calibration of your human journey, is not only a good idea, it's quite necessary. Simply stated, the path of enlightenment, whatever tributary you take, is not without it's challenges. Those who make it look easy have mastered Hemmingway's expression, "Grace under pressure."
Moments of stress and personal crises prove to be opportune times to ask these two profound questions, yet for many, stress provides an excuse to avoid this topic altogether. The term "spiritual constipation" comes to mind. Likewise, stress in the form of distractions (also known as addictions), can derail our best efforts on this path of enlightenment. We can stop to smell the roses, we just cannot park along the side of the road indefinitely. In nearly all cultures around the globe, the word spirit and breathe are synonymous; an exchange of energy. edges so that we emerge as a beautiful polished gem and reflect the light all around us.

Feast of Dear St. Philip Neri
Today is the memorial of my dear patron, teacher and friend, St. Philip Neri, whose chapel in Santa Maria in Vallicella (also called Chiesa Nuova) in Rome feels like a very natural and welcoming second home, for me -- where I was able to participate, daily, in the mass on my last visit.In her column, "A Word in Season" Pat Gohn takes a really wonderful look at this very great saint, whose "mission" was to the people of Rome; the churches and hospitals he built are still serving.

in your area
- Very cheap price
- Good ride
- Excellent fuel economy
- Instrument panel design seems gimmicky
- Doesn't handle very well
- Front seats are small
- Safety features are optional
The 2008 Toyota Yaris is one of the cheapest, and cheapest to run, of all new vehicles.
The 2008 Toyota Yaris Liftback model rides on a very short 96.9-inch wheelbase and is one of the shortest new vehicles, at about 150 inches long. It's ideal as a commuter that can fit into the tightest parking spots, as well as handle longer trips when the need arises. While it maneuvers well, its suspension is somewhat soft.
Standard under the hood of both vehicles is a 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine producing 106 horsepower—adequate for a small, light (less than 2,300 pounds) car of this type. Buyers can choose either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic on the 2008 Toyota Yaris Liftback; the engine works quite well with both, though it's a bit louder with the automatic. Fuel economy is very good, at 29 mpg city, 36 mpg highway with the manual. All models come standard with 14-inch wheels and air conditioning.
The interior is a contrast of good and bad elements, as Toyota obviously was trying to make a fashionable, desirable cabin while watching its price very carefully. The instrument panel itself in the 2008 Toyota Yaris Liftback has an attractive, almost gimmicky design, with the speedometer in the middle of the dash and a tall center stack of controls down the middle, but on closer inspection, it's made of hard, easily scratched plastics. Front seats are rather small and skimpy, while the backseat on the Liftback is tough to get into, but decent for space; kids should be just fine back there. Base Liftback models are very basic, with manual winding windows.
The 2008 Yaris Liftback Sport model is a new addition to the lineup. The Yaris Liftback Sport gets body-color bumpers and side rocker panels; in addition, it picks up sport seats, a leather-trimmed steering wheel and shifter knob, 15-inch wheels, a rear defroster, a rear wiper, and an audio system with MP3 capability and an auxiliary jack.
Toyota prices the five-speed manual Liftback from $11,300; the Sedan with an automatic transmission starts at $12,900. The new 2008 Toyota Yaris Liftback Sport with a five-speed manual is priced at $12,975.
The Yaris was one of the worst-performing cars in the federal government's safety tests, with only three stars for side-impact safety, and the IIHS rated the Yaris as "marginal" for rear impact. Major safety features such as anti-lock brakes and side impact airbags may be ordered optionally, but electronic stability control is not offered on the 2008 Toyota Yaris Liftback.
The Hyundai Accent comes in a three-door hatchback model and, thus, is the closest rival to the 2008 Toyota Yaris Liftback. It feels a little more solid on the road than the Yaris, but its fuel economy isn't as good. The Kia Rio5 offers a package that's a little roomier and more space-efficient, and it's a bit more fun to drive. Also at the bottom of the price scale is the Chevrolet Aveo5, a small five-door hatchback made by GM Daewoo. The Aveo doesn't feel competitive with the Hyundai, Kia, or Toyota; its interior is slightly more spacious and comfortable, but it doesn't perform as well. The most appealing vehicle in this crowd is the Honda Fit; although it's quite a bit more expensive, the Fit is safer, more expansive inside—thanks to the wonderful Magic Seat design—and more fun to drive.

India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni told MiD DAY: "We won't be playing him in Delhi. It will be risky to play him." Dhawan hurt his knuckles while fielding on Day Four and did not bat in India's second dig yesterday.
The southpaw played a brilliant innings on debut, slamming a 174-ball 187. Dhawan and Murali Vijay (153) strung together a 289-run partnership for the first wicket in the first innings which proved to be decisive.
Dhoni during his post-match press conference said a formal email from the Indian board explaining Dhawan's injury would be sent later.

Over the years I have tried many products over the years to try to help with those nasty little bumps that I would get on my bikini line every time after I would shave. I would end up trying product after product and not much would really do anything for me but irritate it more, so I was a bit skeptical when I saw this product and decided to try it. I am very glad that I did decide to try it though. This product is not perfect for me or a miracle worker, but it does work great. My shave bumps have been reduced by at least ninety percent, which is very drastic to me and worth sharing about. I have pretty sensitive skin so having something that reduces a lot of the unsightly bumps that I get is awesome. The relief you get from the burning after shaving is also immediate and the cold of the Noxzema feels so nice against your skin that has become very irritated or inflamed. The price is right for this product and very affordable for a product that does exactly what it claims to do, it is worth every penny.
Comments about Noxema Soothe & Smooth:
When I was in my teens, I always was looking for products that would help soothe my red and painful bumps that I got from shaving. I have very sensitive skin and I always got shave bumps in my bikini area that were incredibly painful and very annoying. I purchased this a couple times to help soothe the painful and red bumps. Noxema's Soothe and Smooth bikini cream product really helped with this problem. It took the redness down a lot and the it soothed the bumps. I did notice that this product did not really clear up all the bumps, but it did soothe the pain I experienced from them. I had to use a separate product in conjunction with this one to get rid of all the bumps. I would recommend this product if you have issues with painful and red bumps from shaving in your most sensitive areas, like your bikini line. It will definitely help to soothe the problem, even if it does not help to get rid of all of them.
If this product was more effective in getting rid of all the bumps, I would have given it a higher score.
Comments about Noxema Soothe & Smooth:
I love Noxema products, and have been using them for years. The Noxema Soothe & Smooth product is no different, I love it. It's more of a smooth lotion like texture but rinses off nicely. I like that it has a very invigorating cool feeling when applied to my face. I have noticed that it's done a great job at keeping my face clear and free of any acne. I like that after I rinse my face and dry it off it feels silky smooth. I also like that the price is decent and the bottle lasts a long time. You don't need to use tons of product to get a good clean.
Does a great job at keeping my skin acne free and silky smooth.
Ease of Application
Easy to squeeze out of the tube and apply to the face. It's a more lotion like texture which I'm not use to but it's easy to apply to the face and rinse off.
Very easy to use the bottle since it's not large.
Side Effects
I haven't noticed any side effects from using this product.
Makes my skin feel smooth and soft right away.
Comments about Noxema Soothe & Smooth:
Love Noxema! I've been using it for years! Maybe 15 years. And it never changes! It's always worked great and still does to is day! It's creamy and when you apply it to your face it's almost icy cold. It feels amazing! Super refreshing! It doesn't have any "grit" in it. It's just smooth like lotion. Washes off easily and leaves your face feeling super fresh and rejuvenated! Does a good job keeping away acne, as long as used on a regular bases. As long as I keep up with using it 1-2 times a day, it does a great job keeping the acne down for me. It's definitely not natural at all. That would be my one complaint. I wish they could come up with a more natural formula. But it does work super amazing. Price is also right. Not super expensive and not cheap either. Just moderate, which is great. Good bang for your buck, too. Using this product on a regular bases {1-2 times a day} you're sure to have a happier face!
Comments about Noxema Soothe & Smooth:
It may be different for others but I have sensitive skin. It seems when I used the cream it only dried my face out more and made me break out more than I already was. I don't believe its a bad product cause I have seen it work on others, it just wasn't meant for my skin type.
Comments about Noxema Soothe & Smooth:
I absolutely undoubtedly love this stuff. I have used it for so long now that I it is such an integral part of my every day routine because it's that awesome.
Price is decent as well. I'm willing to pay for something that works this well anyways.
I love how it makes my face tingle, it feels good going on and it makes my skin so silky smooth.
Myself and my teenage daughter use Noxema daily and we both love it. It works very well for our different skin types, her's is more prone to acne and mine is drier and more prone to blackheads
Ease of Application
It's easy to apply with no issues. I wish it did come in a different bottle but that does not hinder me from using this.
It's easy to use, it squirts out with no issues and you can have it on your bathroom counter or in your shower and the bottle is attractive.
Side Effects
No side effects that I know of. No problems using this at all. It has great side effects like silky smooth skin that is left feeling refreshed and cleansed properly.
It also helps wake me up in the morning with my shower routine.
Comments about Noxema Soothe & Smooth:
I've tried a lot of after shave products, but Noxzema Soothe & Smooth medicated bikini cream works the best! Intimate area is not itchy after application, creme absorbs perfectly. There is very minimum ingrown hair after the cream starts working
Ease of Application
You have to apply using your fingers and then wait several minutes before cream absorbs
Side Effects
Haven't noticed any side affects
No redness or itchiness right after application
Comments about Noxema Soothe & Smooth:
I received a sample of Noxzema's Soothe & Smooth Medicated Bikini Creme and it works to get rid of shaving bumps near my bikini line. It has always been annoying to go to the trouble of shaving "there" only to get red, itchy bumps, I mean, why bother if that whole area is going to be red with bumps. So, when I received a sample of Noxzema's medicated creme with one of my razors, I gave it a try and I liked the results. The creme felt like it was working right away, and I felt confident putting on my bathing suit knowing I did not have to hide the annoying red bumps on my legs.
The lotion goes on smooth and is easily absorbed into the skin. Smell is ok, but since it is only going on my legs it is not too big of a deal. I do apply this another time, just before going to bed, to keep the itching from coming back but I usually apply lotion on my legs and feet at this time anyway.
I think this is a good product and will use it often.

SA8000:2014 is the latest version of the SA8000® Standard launched in June 2014. A central improvement to the Standard was the inclusion of Social Fingerprint®. It is a set of tools that helps organizations continuously measure and improve their management system for social performance, helping them fulfill the requirements of the Management System Element of SA8000.
Social Fingerprint® breaks down the Management System Element into ten process-based categories:
With the following three tools, organizations can measure and improve their management system.
- Social Fingerprint® Self-Assessment: Completed by the organization applying for an SA8000 certification, the self-assessment provides a baseline score of the organization's management system maturity.
- Social Fingerprint® Independent Evaluation: Completed by an accredited certification body, the independent evaluation helps the organization identify strengths and weaknesses in its management system.
- Rating Chart: The Rating Chart explains the organization's maturity level in each of the ten categories listed above. The maturity levels are rated on a scale of one to five, with five being the highest level (see table below). The results help the organization identify areas for improvement.

These Video CD plugins strive to add the full compliment of advanced Video CD features, including playback control (PBC), display of hi-res still frames, and menu selections. There is a plugin for xine and one for vlc.
|multimedia Video Display
|Operating Systems
|POSIX Linux Solaris
Release Notes: This version has been merged into xine-lib proper. However, for those that want the documentation which is not in xine-lib (or currently in xine), it is still here. Version numbers have been updated to correspond to the associated xine-lib release. The single change to reduce spurious drive scans (also in xine-lib-1-rc2) has been applied here as well.
Release Notes: The VCD and CD-DA plugins can automatically scan for a drive having a VCD or CD-DA in them (via libcdio). The CD-DA delay in response time in switching tracks has been fixed. The VCD plugin got the wrong offsets when continued segments were used. The documentation was updated and the code was cleaned up.
Release Notes: Changes were made to make this plugin coexist a little better with the default vlc plugins. Code to read and understand PBC navigation code was added, although work is needed to allow keyboard selection.
Release Notes: The MRLs were made consistent with vlc usage. Some VCD and CDDA bugs were fixed, and the VCD code was simplified. Note that VCD Segment numbers now start at 0.
No changes have been submitted for this release.

Tyrone Collins is a wanted man with over a dozen offers to choose from, but wants to first pack his bags and journey through some college campuses before naming a leader.
Tagged as a three-star cornerback on Scout, the 6-foot, 170-pound Collins claims offers from Michigan, Boston College, Kentucky, Missouri and Iowa State among others.
"I don't have a top school yet because I haven't visited any of them yet," Collins said. "When I visit them, then I will decide on my top five or top three, but nothing so far."
Collins, who was recently provided with some disheartening news by tearing the ACL in his left knee, says a school representing the SEC is tagging him as a top priority heading into the spring evaluation period.
"Virginia Tech keeps sending me letters every day," Collins said. "The coaches there write to me a lot, but haven't offered me yet.
"The school that's been recruiting me the hardest is Missouri."
The 2018 prospect at Bradenton (Fla.) Braden River says secondary coach Ryan Walters and director of recruiting A.J. Ofodile are the Mizzou staff members diving into his direct messages on a weekly basis.
"What I like about Missouri is that they are building up a new football program to rise up to get a championship ring," Collins said. "I love their coverage, and they play freshmen if they work hard and focus.
"I know they are building new facilities at the university, and can't wait to see how it looks."
As expected, Collins' sole focus is rehabbing his knee and doing all he can in order to lace up the cleats for the 2017 season.
"I just tore my ACL and had surgery on it, like, a day ago," Collins said. "I'm just focused on that for right now, and also getting bigger, faster and stronger as the process keeps going."
Collins has no visits scheduled at this time.

Hello, this is my beta impression thread.
What I liked:
The grandness of this game. I have played from 1-10 in each city on a different class, and I have to say that each environment is grand and beautiful in it's own way.
Combat system. I loved playing gladiator once I got the shield. To time my guard skill with phalanx as well as counting light slashes really made this game interactive. I haven't had a chance to party, but I know that it will be great.
Gathering System. Also interactive. Makes you feel like you are really chopping that tree down.
Quests / Levequests: The main quest for every city was outstanding. I did them all back to back because I could not walk away from the story. (even after trying for an hour to figure out the emotes on the miners!) Levequests are also a great boost to your exp, so it is nice to have some aid in the solo/casual part of the game.
What I Didn't Like:
Mob Diversity. There doesn't seem to be any. I'm hoping this is just because it is beta, but one of the greatest things about ffxi was that if you got bored of killing this sheep, there was a funguar or a crab or a rabbit or...etc. to kill. I know that at least in ul'dah, From 1-7, I think I killed only marmots. It got very dull. I know that there are other mobs in the game, I loved watching the slideshow for little taru, big world. I have very high hopes for the mob diversity end game, but in the early game, I'm hoping that release will bring a bit more flavor.
Durability. Very frustrating feature. I want to stay in my cave killing moles, I don't want to go back to town every 20 minutes to repair. Weapons seem to deteriorate very fast.
Market Wards.......... This has to be one of the worst things about the beta right now. Upon hitting level 10 as gladiator, I decided to return home to repair and rest for a bit. While there, after sitting on a pretty pile of zeny, I decided to check out the local merchants to see if they were selling anything. After about an hour going through the first room of the market wards, checking out unsightly named merchants only to find hundreds of marmot skins (which I could personally give one to everyone who joins this game!), I gave up my search. Nobody was selling any form of armor or weapon. (before you condemn me here) I know this is just beta and people aren't going to spend their time setting up merchants, The real thorn in my side is the amount of time I sifted through absolute junk.
Lack of Epicness. FFXI had this feeling surrounding the classes. It really held true to older final fantasy games. You had bright colored AF sets that EVERYONE wanted to get. Most AF sets weren't that great, but every person got theirs and ran around town in it because it was so awesome. Thaumaturge without a red pimp hat just seems so boring.
I do love this game. After playing FFXI for a long time, I am definately impressed by this game and will be buying it. I do know that this is NOT ffxi and I shouldn't expect the same things, but it is still part of the final fantasy franchise and the players do expect some of the same. I know that on release there will be a plethora of quests and things to do. The market wards will probably get fixed to include either a search or scrapped for a central AH (yes please!). Anyways, please don't flame or troll me, I just needed to give this opinion so that maybe some people who are on the fence about getting this game will see that is it really an epic game, a huge beautiful world, and has some really scary monsters in it!

Not long ago I was musing about vampires. I mean, I write about them…a lot…and people ask me why…a lot…so I decided perhaps a little introspection was in order. Why DO I write about vampires all the time? Is there some deep-seated, unresolved psychological issue that compels me to always tread on the dark side? Nope—nothing that Freudian. Don't get me wrong, I have my share of baggage but not enough to put me into permanent therapy. Am I really a Goth chick hiding beneath a prim and conservative exterior? Maybe—if I was a couple decades younger! Somehow I just don't think that look would work for me at this age. Do I long for eternity? Not so much. The seasons of life make it rich and beautiful. I can't see trading that for a forever without family or friends. Do I find the vampire's power and strength sexy? Well, yeah I kind of do but that's more of a perk than an explanation for my obsession.
No, as I thought about it, I decided the main reason I fixate on vampires is because of what I learn from them. Forget the folklore. Forget the legends. Forget the fiction. Get down to the essence of vampires and there is much to discover. My top five go something like this:
1. Don't give up. It might look like the end but it could just be the beginning of something new and exciting.
2. Don't be afraid of the dark. No matter how dark it might seem, the light will always come again.
3. Don't be afraid to make friends. A true forever friend may walk into your world at any moment.
4. Don't be intolerant. Despite differences in race, religion, sex, or sexual preference, beneath it all we're the same: human beings.
5. Don't wallow in self-pity. Just because something happened to you that isn't fair and changes your life, don't let it destroy you. Stand up, dust yourself off, and find a way to live in your new reality.
So there it is: five things I've learned from vampires and just a few of the reasons I'm drawn to them in my writing. It's true, vampires might be the stuff of legends, good horror movies, and classic novels, but you know, once you get beyond the superficial, they might just have something to teach us all.

While Microsoft has already began shipping the Windows 10 flagship Lumia 950 series, the next in line to grab the attention of Windows 10 lovers is apparently none other than the Lumia 850.
A press photo of the alleged Lumia 850 has been on circulation over the internet and when digging out further, we found that it will be the next Lumia smartphone gearing up for 2016 release. The smartphone is code-named as 'Honjo' and the leaked photo shows the front and back design in detail.
Not sure, whether the whole body of the smartphone is metal built or it bears only the side metal frame. The sides of the phone have a gold metal padding alongside volume, power/sleep buttons and Microsoft logo in gold. However, it misses out camera shutter button on the sides, which the Lumia 950/950 XL boasts.
On the front, it sports a front facing camera with LED flash. The capacitive keys under the screen have gone, so it works with onscreen navigation. The alleged specifications of the smartphone are a 5-inch 720p display, Snapdragon 410 SoC and 1GB of RAM. Other reports suggest a 5.7-inch FHD display and a Snapdragon 617 SoC.
Camera-wise, the rear will sport a 10MP Pure-View camera and either a 5MP or 8MP camera at the front. However, stay tuned with us to learn more about the Lumia 850 till the official confirmation is released.

Manila (AFP) May 14, 2014
The Philippines warned on Wednesday that China may be building an airstrip on a reef in the South China Sea, boosting the superpower's claim to most of the strategic Asian waters.
Filipino surveillance aircraft have been monitoring large-scale reclamation and earthmoving activity on Chinese-held Johnson South Reef since January, the defence department said.
Asked if China was building an airstrip on the reef, also claimed by the Philippines and Vietnam, Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario said: "That's one possibility".
Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying, would not confirm the Philippine claim, but asserted the outcrop was Chinese territory.
"Whatever construction China carries out on the reef is a matter entirely within the scope of China's sovereignty. I don't know what particular intentions the Philippines has in caring so much about this," she said at a regular press briefing Wednesday.
Last week, the Chinese press downplayed the activity at the reef, saying it was merely to renovate the living facilities for troops stationed there.
"We can confirm that there is ongoing reclamation or earthmoving activities in that portion," Filipino defence department spokesman Peter Galvez told reporters Wednesday.
"It has been getting bigger and bigger."
Del Rosario told reporters the Philippines had filed a diplomatic protest against China's reclamation works on the reef last month, but Beijing rejected it on grounds the reef is part of Chinese territory.
The Philippines calls the outcrop the Mabini Reef, while China calls it Chigua Reef. Internationally, it is recognised as the Johnson South Reef.
It is part of the Spratly chain, and is located about 300 kilometres (186 miles) west of the large western Philippine island of Palawan.
China seized the reef and other outcrops from Vietnam in a deadly 1988 skirmish.
- Strained ties -
It is not the first time the Philippines has made allegations against China over construction at disputed outcrops in the sea.
In September last year, Manila accused Beijing of laying concrete blocks on disputed Scarborough Shoal that it said could be a "prelude to construction".
However, in an embarrassing about-face, Manila dropped the allegations weeks later after concluding that the concrete blocks were previously-existing structures.
The Philippines said China took effective control of the shoal in 2012, stationing patrol vessels and shooing away Filipino fishermen, after a stand-off with the Philippine Navy.
Beijing's claim to nearly all of the South China Sea, which straddles vital sea lanes and is believed to sit on vast oil and gas reserves, has strained its ties with neighbours.
Earlier this month, Vietnam accused China of ramming its ships in an encounter near another part of the sea where Beijing had deployed a deep-sea oil rig.
Those actions were described as "provocative" by US Secretary of State John Kerry in a phone call to Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
The Philippines in March filed a formal plea to the United Nations challenging Beijing's alleged territorial claims to about 70 percent of the South China Sea, in defiance of Chinese warnings that it would seriously damage their already-frayed relations.
Manila contends that, under international law, it has exclusive rights to exploit the resources of waters and outcrops within its "exclusive economic zone", defined as those within 370 kilometres (200 nautical miles) of its coast.
Beijing has rejected UN arbitration and urged Manila to settle the dispute through bilateral talks instead.
The Chinese claims to the sea also overlap those of Taiwan as well as Brunei and Malaysia.
Meanwhile, the Philippines said Wednesday two of the 11 Chinese fishermen arrested last week by Filipino police in another area of the Spratlys were flown to Guangzhou late Tuesday.
Manila filed charges against their nine colleagues for poaching and collecting protected species, but freed the two because they are minors.

Hi,I am 5 days post rhinoplasty and have been feeling better and more energetic everyday ,this morning my nose started bleeding quite a bit I got a bit of a fright because the first few days I was expecting blood or gunk and I barely had any ,is this anything to worry about I feel fine now just scared me a bit
Bleeding 5 Days After my Rhinoplasty Surgery?
Doctor Answers 2
Bleeding 5 Days After my Rhinoplasty Surgery?
If the bleeding has stopped, that is one thing. If you continue to experience bleeding, call your surgeon's office or the surgeon on call.

Bleeding 5 Days After my Rhinoplasty Surgery?
This is not common but not rare, either. I typically send my patients home from the surgery center with Afrin as long as there is no medical contraindication to using it. I recommend spraying both nostrils with Afrin if bleeding occurs (not drainage but a true nosebleed). If that, along with finger pressure, doesn't work in ten minutes I have the patients call and return to the office. It is important to not use Afrin for more than one day as your nasal tissue can become dependent on it and create problems with inflammation in the nose. I deal with about 1-2 nosebleeds a year following rhinoplasty so they're not common but do occur. I hope this information is helpful.

The news broke late last night that Cliff Lee was headed back to Philadelphia, having signed a five-year, $120 million contract with the Phillies, and the tremors of that decision were still reverberating around the baseball world this morning.
Lee, who was thought by many baseball people to be after the biggest contract he could get, left money on the table to return to the Phillies. The Yankees, used to getting whoever they wanted in free agency, came up empty-handed on their biggest offseason pursuit and still need pitching to keep up with the Red Sox. And the market for the other available pitchers, in which the Nationals have already been wading for weeks, just got a lot more competitive.
The Yankees and Rangers will now join a half-dozen other teams in pursuit of starting pitching, chasing the same handful of second-tier options that figure to get over-inflated contracts. The best of those options is Kansas City's Zack Greinke, whom the Royals are shopping this offseason. The Nationals are pursuing Greinke, like several other teams, but they'd almost certainly have to give up shortstop Ian Desmond or pitcher Jordan Zimmermann, two players they see as keys to their future and would hate to relinquish. Tampa Bay's Matt Garza could also be moved this winter, but baseball sources have said the Rays' price is high, and questioned whether the Nationals' best trading chip - middle infielders - would be enough to close a deal.
Carl Pavano, the best pitcher left on the free agent market, can now move forward with his free agency discussions knowing Lee got $24 million a season. The Nationals have met with Lee's agent, Tom O'Connell, but seem reluctant to give the 35-year-old Pavano the three-year deal he seeks.
What's clear, at this point, is this: The Nationals will have to overpay to get a pitcher yet this offseason, and with the Phillies now in position of the game's best rotation, not to mention one of the National League's better lineups, it might be foolish for Washington to overspend for 2011. Stephen Strasburg will be back by 2012, and Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt and Lee will turn 35, 35 and 34 that season, respectively. The Phillies have an option on Oswalt for 2012 they might not exercise if the right-hander slips this year, and they could see a number of their best hitters leave in free agency.
And for the Nationals, there could be better free agent options available before 2012. CC Sabathia can opt out of his contract in New York, and the Cardinals have team options on Adam Wainwright and Chris Carpenter. Houston's Wandy Rodriguez, Texas' C.J. Wilson, the White Sox's Mark Buehrle and Florida's Javier Vazquez could also be available. It's a long shot that Sabathia or Wainwright could hit the market, but even if they don't, there are some other options available.
So, at this point, with the Phillies looking tougher than ever and the remaining options getting costlier by the day, the best strategy for the Nationals might be to let Strasburg get healthy, let the Phillies get a year older and try again to add a pricey front-line starter next year. There are hands to play and hands to fold, and with what's left on this year's pitching market, the Nationals might be best served by pursuing cheaper options or walking away altogether.

Trailer for Robert Rodriguez's "From Dusk Till Dawn" TV Series
Posted: January 13th, 2014 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
Back in November, it was reported that the "From Dusk Till Dawn" TV series has started shooting, with Robert Rodriguez (director of original film) on board to direct the first two episodes.
Today, we have the first poster and trailer for the new TV series, giving us a look at DJ Catrona (GI Joe: Retaliation) and Zane Holtz (The Perks of Being a Wallflower) as Seth Gecko (played by George Clooney in film) and Richard "Richie" Gecko (played by Quentin Tarantino in film). Check everything out below.
We see things that led up to events in the film, and much deeper character motivations and storylines to sort of launch into the new story that we're doing,
" said Rodriguez. "
The film was a short story. This is the novel version.
The new TV series, which co-stars Robert Patrick (Terminator 2: Judgment Day, will debut this Spring on the El Rey Network.

on January 13th, 2014 at 4:15:51 PM
Variety is now reporting that Michael Douglas will play ant-man. You see, Alex, that's why you don't post rumors as facts in your trolling headlines. I'm referring to WP stating that Paul Rudd signed to play Ant-man in a headline.
on January 13th, 2014 at 4:33:24 PM

"p*ssy, p*ssy, p*ssy all you p*ssy lovers out there!!!"
on January 13th, 2014 at 5:53:05 PM
Actually, I think both Paul Rudd and , Douglas are both in it. They're probably trying to do the bNight Owl kind of thing like in Watchmen. Either way, it's really cool.

I like how it says "an original series"....based upon several movies...lol.

on January 13th, 2014 at 7:00:31 PM
Bieber's a worthless c*nt, and I hope a fat gay woman with a rusty spoon brutally murders it by sawing off its vagina while it's taking a sh*t.
on January 13th, 2014 at 7:54:01 PM
I'm starting to see why this place needed a highly-energetic wackjob screwball like Ranger to keep it afloat, because without someone like him, this place is a total drag.
You folks should try harder (as in "at least a little") to make this place what you want it to be without lazily waiting on someone else to do the work for you.
I'm out.
on January 13th, 2014 at 9:31:12 PM
They're trying to humanize him, methinks, and it does him (the character) a huge disservice because what we love about Holmes is his brutal honesty and insight, not him kowtowing to social mores and society's artificial and arbitrary conventions, which is what he does in The Sign of Three.
But yeah, we'll have to wait till 2016 to see more, which is just effing stupid. Three episodes every two years, whereas the crew of 24, for example, threw out 24 ~hour-long episodes every year.
Sherlock's good, damned good, even, but it's not THAT damned good.
on January 13th, 2014 at 9:35:21 PM
Speaking of 24 mink, here's an update on the new season:
on January 13th, 2014 at 9:39:42 PM
Yeah and 24 will have the traditional 2 hour premiere which is cool too.
on January 13th, 2014 at 9:43:23 PM
I'd love to see 24 go to Showtime, if only so Tanman can finally see Kiefer's ass.
(yeah I know, a gay joke, but that's all the comedy I know, apparently)
on January 13th, 2014 at 9:55:35 PM
I enjoyed The Sign of Three, but I think that was because I had such low expectations going in.
The thing that got me, though, wasn't really Sherlock's off-character deportment but the idea someone could be stabbed in the back without them knowing it, only to then nearly bleed to death in the shower.
What, he didn't know he was bleeding so profusely? And how does such a little hole, little enough to not make the victim immediately aware, kill someone so quickly without them raising even the slightest alarm?
Just stupid.
Look, if someone stabs you through a belt with an ice pick, you're going to feel it. Think of the pain a mosquito causes when it takes a bite. And the belt will have a rather large hole through which you'll immediately commence bleeding.
Even if somehow not, you'll start bleeding when you remove the belt, and not only after you've made it to the shower as depicted in the show.
It's also rather stupid the writers thought we would think the cops in the show wouldn't investigate everyone with a motive to kill the captain, especially the brother (who attended the same wedding as said captain) of one of the me the captain "killed". Yes, he was a photographer, but people are going to remember him regardless. Yes, he's more invisible than the guests, perhaps, but not so damned invisible there won't be any record of him attending, even if Lestrade is a veritable moron.
I find it ironic that a show about the most intelligent crime-solver the world has ever seen uses some of the dumbest crimes for plot devices.
on January 13th, 2014 at 9:57:04 PM
on January 13th, 2014 at 10:07:33 PM
We'll find out Magnussen faked his death too in season 5, which will premier in the spring of 2022.
By then Sherlock will be chasing purse snatchers in his wheelchair with Watson pushing it.
on January 13th, 2014 at 10:10:48 PM
And I refuse to watch that Elementary garbage either.
A tattooed Sherlock living In New York with "Joan" Watson, played by Lucy Liu of Ecks vs Sever and Charlie's Angels fame?
A Sherlock who brings home prostitutes by the bucketload because he's just that kind of "cool" American?
Yeah, no, will never watch such classless, tactless, graceless trash. Ever.

It Seemed Like A Good Idea...
at the time... a new shop! Here, to be precise! Well, I can't help myself, sometimes. I thought I might limit this one to paintings, like this one, Autumnal Pavane. But there again... Either way, please do go have a wee look at my new venture! And trust me, it'll be the last for a while!!

just about describes my Dawanda shop. Dawanda is a relatively new online shopping site, based in Germany, and so not a lot of people seem to know about it. Of course, you do, now! I've got several things up in my shop there, including this aceo, Blue Mountain, which I'm rather fond of. People do seem to be looking at my work there, which is good, I'd just like to sell something...break into Europe, as it were! Still, one step at a time, I suppose... you can find this card here and Dawanda itself here There are some interesting sellers on there... why not check it out?

Nice Surprises!
Two this morning, to be precise! One came from my friend Susan, with whom I traded cloth for a couple of her wonderful bags. Look, she said, at what I did with some of your fabric...so I did! Here! Didn't she do a good job!
And then there were kind words from another artist about my work on my site at Talent Database So all in all, great things to wake up to! Hope you have a happy day, too!

New Work...
Three Red Dots, the image above, has just been added to my Etsy shop for paintings
It is a small acrylic painting, measuring 8"/20cm square, 1"/2.5cm deep, and is ready to hang. It is a new departure for me, I usually use oil paints, and I'm using techniques here, including printing, that I haven't used before, or haven't combined in this way before. It is always exciting to move into pastures new... I hope you like it too!

Fame At Last...
It's hard to get yourself noticed on Etsy; in a network of tens of thousands of shops, it's difficult to stand out. Etsy has a system called 'the Treasury', where individual artists select some of their favourite pieces from among the (doubtless) hundreds of thousands of items. It's an honour to have a piece of work selected, and as you can see, one of my collages, 'Can You Forget Me' is included in this one, by theVintageZoo. What is exceptional about this particular Treasury, though, is that it has been selected to be on the front page for part of today! That's really exciting for me and the other makers in this collection, it's an honour! So, as you can imagine, I'm bouncing up and down with excitement today! Thanks, VintageZoo, and Etsy, too!
