Beyond me why this happens as I follow the exact same process when making all my lotions but this is the only emulsifier combination that fails every single time. I have no problem with BTMS/Cetyl Alcohol or Olive Emulse/Cetyl Alcohol combinations or Polawax. It took a long time and a LOT of testing to figure what ingredients were causing the problem (also tested preservatives Microcare, Naturaguard Ultra, Optiphen, Germall Plus and again the only fail was with the e-wax/cetyl alcohol). I even tried it again a couple of months ago just in case.... but no, still the same old curdling. I even noticed in the heat/hold stage of the oils that it was "congealing" and leaving a "foamy" residue on the surface in the beaker and not wanting to mix with the oils properly. To cut a long story short I will not go near e-wax in the future - it cost me a lot in terms of product wastage and I have many other options so why bother.

I use Optiphen (different to Optiphen Plus) all the time in my sugar scrubs (emulsified using Polysorbate 80 and/or BTMS depending on what type of scrub I'm formulating). It works great for these products.

I heat and hold for 20 minutes at 158 degrees and blended with my stick blender until it was to thick and then blended with the hand mixer. Once it cooled to 100 degrees Fahrenheit I added the cool down phases and blended and blended but the separation just got worse. PLEASE any help would be greatly appreciated!

Use a gelling agent such as sodium polyacrylate to help stability. If you are using dimethicone, add it in the heated oil phase (and if you are using cyclomethicone add just after the emulsion has formed) so it emulsifies better as silicones can be tricky for some emulsifiers to emulsify. Do not use with salts e.g. sodium lactate as the pH tends to drift and destabilise the emulsion further. The sorbic acid augments yeast/mold coverage. Sorbic acid is sensitive to oxidation resulting in discoloration and a potential petroleum odor. It is also is unstable at temperatures above 38c To be effective the pH must be 6 or below. Add at cool down – see note above. For an all water solution as the capryl glycol is oil soluble, you need to add a solubiliser such as polysorbate. Cosmetic chemists have reported effective preservation with this preservative with certain formulas. Do not use for surfactants. pH range: up to 6.
PRESERVING ANHYDROUS EG SCRUBS

If water may be introduced to the product or the product used in a humid bathroom then a preservative is advisable. An expert microbiologist advises that if trying to preserve an anhydrous product (including all oil+sugar/salt scrub) the oil soluble preservative will get locked in the oils so will not reach any water, if water was introduced into the product. So if you added an oil soluble preservative then that preservative will stay in the oils and not move over to where the water is located to protect that water against bacteria and mould so would be useless. So contrary to what you may have read, we should really use a water soluble preservative in an anhydrous product which means we'd need to add an emulsifier to get that preservative mixed in properly with the oils.
Susan what are your thoughts? I love using Optiphen Plus in my lotions bit was wondering if I could also use it in my sugar/salt scrubs and water based body sprays. It looks as if this is an option. I wanted your opinion tho.

I'll be testing if the Optiphen Plus blends well in the scrub. I'm not adding any water to the scrub at all, just salt, sugars, oils, and essential oils. My PH will be 6.0 or Lower so it's just right and since I'm not adding any other possible "incompatible" ingredients, so far this preservative seems the best choice to go with for a paraben free formula (utterly ridiculous what we have to go through to sell products with this hype :) It must work effectively since Tree Hut uses it - and they are a big corp with all kinds of testing behind their products. But I'm going to try it with some different ingredients and see how it works out.

I noticed several other references above about using it in anhydrous products - not emulsions, so I thought the scrub was a good example of one :) Tree Hut didn't use water to add the Optiphen, so their formula must work without it!

I think I may have found the answer (at least for one type of product).... I checked the label for my favorite store bought scrub - Tree Hut Shea Sugar Scrub. Low and behold, at the bottom of the list are the same ingredients for Optiphen Plus! Looking over the rest of them, aside from sugar, lots of oils, fragrance, Vitamins C & E, I found the magic ingredients: Glycerin (a humectant) and Polysorbate 20 (an emulsifier). This seemed to tie in with previous gleanings from the web.

The sugar/salt scrub is anhydrous (no water). Yet, water will definitely be added repeatedly through customer usage. Since it will be the water that will need the preservative, I need a water soluble preservative that is miscible, meaning it will "blend" at an event rate, in oils. Then, once the customer gets water into the container, the Optiphen Plus will solubilize in that water and go to work as a preservative.

In order to really get the Optiphen Plus to blend well with the oils, Tree Hut added a humectant and an emulsifier. Since the product itself has no water, the only reason for the emulsifier would be to get the Optiphen to blend well and continue to blend well after it's solubilized in water.

I will be attempting this method as well but with different humectants and emulsifiers. I'll update with results. Has anyone else come across this as well?Dacia firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223585695681936410.post-61486367374221848152015-06-19T19:35:44.209-07:002015-06-19T19:35:44.209-07:00Hi Amanda!

I then switched to Optiphen ND because I'd read that the basic Optiphen was less than effective in some circumstances. Since then I've had (to quote Susan) epic lotion failures, with large containers of curdled cream needing to be thrown away. All would go well until the cool-down, and adding Optiphen ND, when the mix would turn into an oily mess. Sometimes I could sb it back into emulsion, but usually it went into the garbage, along with all the great ingredients I'd added. Although I've read the post on incorporatng Optiphen at lower temps, I haven't found this to work for me and I just can't the thought of wasting more ingredients. Thanks to Susan I am much better informed about the alternatives. Great shame because my customers often get me into a Vulcan mind warp and grill me about parabens.

I remember thinking...."What?" I'd been knocking myself out reading ingredient labels and not buying anything that said "paraben" for basically no reason? Yes.

Not only that, I'd been avoiding parabens and instead bought products with other, scientifically proven "bad for you" preservatives that just haven't gotten the bad press that parabens have.

Here's what I think is a good link re good/bad preservatives:

http://www.cosmeticscop.com/cosmetic-ingredient-dictionary/category/1/preservatives/asc/a

Most notably, methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone are known irritants (per cosmeticscop, Contact Dermatitis, November 2011, pages 276-285) and they are in LOTS of products.

I am glad to see the truth slowly come out about parabens, in this blog and other sources, In retrospect, I'm blown away by the reputable sources where I got misinformation about parabens: Oprah, Doctor Oz, Consumer Reports, NPR!

I have a personal theory (untested!) that one person wrote one paper about parabens, the Environmental Working Group (ewg.org) got hold of it, was able to generate a lot of publicity, and now all these otherwise reputable sources keep regurgitating this stuff about parabens.

But...It has been an incredibly successful publicity campaign. I'm sure I'm not the only one who avoided parabens because of this campaign.

Moreover, if I ever decided to sell a lotion, I would *not* use a paraben preservative, because I would actually like my product to sell. And I know a lot of people are like I used to be...avoiding parabens at all cost.

So, for me, that would mean using the Optiphen line of preservatives, because that's what I'm familiar with.

I know some lotion sellers have really trashed Optiphen on your blog, and evangelized the use of parabens. I wonder about the wisdom of this...you can spend your time advocating the use of parabens and hope your products sell, or you can use non-paraben preservatives and just take that out of the equation.

I hope there comes a day when the truth about parabens is widely known, because, from what I've read, formulating is easier with parabens.

Wow, this ended up being a long comment. But it has been on my mind for a while. firstname.lastname@example.com

Militants in Pakistan attack Nato truck for Afghanistan
A truck driver has been killed in an attack on a Nato supply tanker in north-west Pakistan, officials say.
The tanker, part of a convoy of 18, was attacked by two gunmen on a motorbike as it travelled through Khyber Agency on its way to Afghanistan.
It is the second such attack since Nato began using the route again three weeks ago, after a seven-month blockade.
Pakistan closed its border to Nato traffic after a US attack last year killed 24 Pakistani soldiers.
Nato traffic was briefly suspended after Monday's attack, which took place in the Jamrud area.
Supplies were put on hold for two weeks after an attack in Khyber agency on 24 July, in which a driver was killed and another person injured.
A BBC correspondent in Pakistan says the convoy route passes through rugged mountain terrain and is provided with little in the way of security.
The Taliban are against Pakistan allowing supplies for the US-led mission in Afghanistan to cross its territory, and mount frequent attacks on convoys.

NEAPOLIS, Ohio -- A Delta, Ohio woman was killed when the minivan she was driving and an Ohio Department of Transportation commercial truck collided at an intersection in Fulton County's Swan Creek Township today, the Ohio Highway Patrol said.
Melissa Clinard, 34, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the patrol's Toledo post.
Ms. Clinard was driving south on County Road 3 at County Road D about 8:40 a.m. when she failed to stop for the stop sign at County Road D, at which time her minivan was struck in the driver side by an ODOT truck driven by Mark Nissen, 44, of Perrysburg, troopers said.
Mr. Nissen was not injured, according to the patrol.
Both drivers wore seat belts, troopers said.
The crash remains under investigation. It occurred about three miles northwest of Neapolis, which is about 12 miles southwest of Toledo.

Yesterday we participated in being Tourists in Our Own Home Town. Basically, you spend $9 and you get this book of coupons for free and half price entrances to all the tourist attractions. It was Saturday and so it was busy so we didn't get to do lots of the stuff we wanted to, but it was still a most excellent day.
The photos have captions that will explain it all.
Honorable mentions: The BC Royal Museum had Linda McCartney's Sixities Exhibit, which is basically a ton of photos of famous artists of the time, and obviously a lot of Beatles stuff. Kamara you would've loved to have been there. Next we went to the IMAX and watched this movie about going to the moon and it was pretty cool. Eating at the German Schnitzel House was pretty sweet. And of course the wonderful baby goats that we saw in the petting zoo. Kelli. I know exactly what you would've been saying if you were there. (Oh they're soooo cute!)

The system is falling, the system is falling ... and everyone runs helter-skelter to hide from the event of the 21st century and wait at the sidelines to see what gives. Almost every system that I know or read about is going haywire in today's instantaneous lifestyles. Piracy is deem as P2P sharing, technological gadgets are getting outmoded at the blink of an eye, school students are advancing faster than the teachers can catch on, the hierarchical organizations are on shaky grounds and political bureaucracies are falling apart. It drives some people crazy with desperation just thinking about it, but on the other end of the spectrum another group of people are basking in it. And that leaves the people in between switching sides every five seconds when the tide turns.
I'm wondering if we are prepared for the onslaught of change. Alvin Toffler had the foresight to write a few books about it dating back to 1970, and what he wrote is taking place now like a terrifying science fiction movie. In some countries people are reverting back to reclaim nostalgic moralities, which used to work for their ancestors and are implementing them now, while others who cannot accept the thriving information and communication technology are sabotaging them in more ways than one.
This chaotic syndrome is in need of new systems to supersede the defunct and redundant. But is anyone doing anything about it? Thankfully there are. Though small in quantity some people are beginning to realize the disintegrating tradition, culture and morality, as we know it. Understanding will solve more problems than using force to oppress a nation back into the ideology of 1984 or THX 1138. Whatever future we want to live in, it is now that we must anticipate the wave that is gradually building up and know what we are going to do about it before we are swept away by the failing systems.

This is probably one of the best half hours in sitcom history. In one of the few cases where the Emmys were dead-on, the Golden Girls were a popular award recipient. This episode, which won an Emmy for its script, is the quintessential example of why The Golden Girls will always remain one of the greatest sitcoms in TV history.
This was one of Terry Hughes's first episodes (of The Golden Girls) in the directing helm, and it is clear why he was chosen to direct full time after this effort. The extended sequences in this episode were pitch perfect in tone and delivery, undoubtedly a Hughes trademark on the series (Just compare Season 2 episodes to Season 6 episodes, e.g.).
But as much as Hughes delivers in the directing front, it is the combination of terrific writing and terrific acting that make this episode a winner. Barry Fanaro and Mort Nathan delivered one of their best scripts with A Little Romance. And the results were impressive.
There are several famous sequences in this episode. The introduction of Rose's date was dynamite (Dorothy: May I take your height? -- hat!), Blanche's "shrimp?" was perfectly delivered, Blanche's prom story (Benjamin wasn't black. He was from New Jersey!) was hysterical, and the dream sequence was brilliantly silly.
Most writers dream of making an episode like this. Nathan and Fanaro would deliver several more through the first four seasons of this series, but this will always be their masterpiece. Before this episode, The Golden Girls was good. After this episode, The Golden Girls was immortal.

As we all know, Tyra is no stranger to tackling the hard-hitting issues.
Now, the brave model with her head in the clouds (literally) takes on the controversial issue of spanking one's child. And she asks the heavy questions:
When junior misbehaves in public, do you chastise the youngster verbally? Do you find a discreet place to administer physical punishment? Or do you simply apply a corrective dose of "whoop ass" in front of everybody?
More importantly—judging by Tyra's example—which stereotypical accent do you opt for? Black or white?

Pro Ana Anorexic Cult Pt2 – Positive Affirmations
This is part 2 of my Hub: Pro Ana – New Anorexic Cult (Explicit), written to help support those who are fighting Anorexia.
Transform your life through Affirmations
Affirmations are positive statements. Repeated statements help you focus on what you want to be true in your life. You mentally and emotionally see and feel it as true, irrespective of your current circumstances, and as a result, attract it into your life. (The affirmations affect your subconscious)
However, they will not work if you start thinking negatively after saying them. Negative thoughts would neutralise the effect. So keep positive and anytime a negative thought creeps into your mind, say a short positive affirmation.
- My health is getting better every day.
- I enjoy eating healthy food that will benefit my whole body.
- I enjoy eating food that is good for me. I am what I eat.
- I enjoy the taste of healthy food.
- The Food I eat nourishes my body inside and out.
- I don't have to be thin to look beautiful.
- I honour and cherish my body and treat it well.
- I ensure I do not overeat or under eat.
- Everyday I get close to my ideal weight.
- I am on my way to good health.
- Everyday, I love myself more.
- I enjoy taking care of myself.
- I drink lots of water to stay healthy.
- I enjoy eating fruits, vegetables and Salads.
- True beauty is from within. I am beautiful inside and out.
- I enjoy Fitness and Exercise.
- People love me for who I am and not how I look.
- All the organs in my body work perfectly.
- My heart is strong and powerful.
- I am confident and people feel comfortable around me.
You can say them a few times during the day. They are short so that you can remember them.
I have set up a Twitter account and Tweet useful info to help people combat this controlling Eating Disorder : http://twitter.com/Care4Anorexics
Anorexia steals lives. If you suffer from Anorexia / Bulimia or know anyone who does, then sign up at the above AnorexicTwitter account or give them the details

Literary Fiction: The Ways We Read Narrative LiteratureBy: Geir Farner (author)Paperback
Special OrderSpecial Order item not currently available. We'll try and order for you.
DescriptionInsofar as literary theory has addressed the issue of literature as a means of communication and the function of literary fiction, opinions have been sharply divided, indicating that the elementary foundations of literary theory and criticism still need clarifying. Many of the "classical" problems that literary theory has been grappling with from Aristotle to our time are still waiting for a satisfactory solution. Based on a new cognitive model of literature as communication, Farner systematically explains how literary fiction works, providing new solutions to a wide range of literary issues, like intention, function, evaluation, delimitation of the literary work as such, fictionality, suspense, and the roles of author and narrator, along with such narratological problems as voice, point of view and duration. Covering a wide range of literary issues central to literary theory, offering new theories while also summarising the field as it stands, Literary Fiction will be a valuable guide and resource for students and scholars of the theory of literature.
About AuthorGeir Farner is Professor of Dutch Language and Literature in the Department of Literature, Area Studies and European Languages (ILOS) at the University of Oslo, Norway.

Lastly, in the north of Wexford we find the Coriondi who occur in Irish texts near the Boyne (Mid.
The best-known of these is situated on the banks of the Boyne above Drogheda, and consists of a group of the largest cairns in Ireland.
After his defeat at the Boyne (July 1, 1690) he speedily departed from Ireland, where he had so conducted himself that his English followers had been ashamed of his incapacity, while French officers had derided him.

On the 1st of July 1690 the allies were badly beaten at sea off Beachy Head, but on the same day William himself won a decisive victory over James's army at the Boyne in Ireland.
Interprovincial wars frequently altered its boundaries, notably in 332 when the three Collas, sons of Eochaidh Doimhlein, conquered the land between the river Boyne and Lough Neagh, which became a separate kingdom under the name of Uriel (Oriel or Orgial).
The rivers Brosna, Barrow and Boyne take their rise in these morasses, and the Grand and Royal canals cross them.
It was not till after the battle of the Boyne (1st of July 1690), and during the siege of Limerick, that Sarsfield came prominently forward.
In 1690 it was garrisoned by King James's army; but after the decisive battle of the Boyne it surrendered to the conqueror without a struggle, in consequence of a threat that quarter would not be granted if the town were taken by storm.
The town is the headquarters of the valuable Boyne salmon-fishery.
Until the end of the 3rd century the Milesian power must have been confined to the valley of the Boyne and the district around Tara.

Washington D.C- At a press conference this morning officials from the Department of homeland security revealed details of the latest "Hollywood" style plot to have been foiled by the nation's zealous security services.
Thomas A Kitzenberger, head of Muslim surveillance, began the press briefing by saying "Ladies and gentlemen, We here at the Department of homeland security are pleased to announce that early yesterday morning officers from the religious intolerance squad of the Department of homeland security in conjunction with the FBI and sections of the ATF, staged a series of televisually stunning raids at a six separate addresses in the New york area. These brilliantly cinematic operations, I can now reveal, were spectacular success's and we believe may have foiled the most spectacular terrorist plot since the atrocity attempted in Die hard 2."
Mr Kitzenberger then went on to reveal details of the latest audacious attempt to mortally injure liberty.
"We have now taken into custody four dark skinned men and two light skinned men all of whom are believed to be followers of the prophet Mohamed, due to the fact that pitta bread was found in one of the suspects kitchens.
The gang, believed to be associated with Al quada elements controlling operations from deep within Guantanamo, had planned on using their filthy Muslim penis's to urinate in New York's largest reservoir, thereby contaminating the drinking water of over twenty million god fearing Americans.
But due to the diligence of our all consuming and ever watchful security services their foul attempt to make countless numbers of innocent men, women and children drink non Christian urine has been foiled.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our special undercover agent who has lived among these animals for the last six months, and without whom none of these arrests would have been possible.
The agent, with no regard for his own personal safety gained the trust of these ghastly criminals and over a period of months rose within their ranks to become their leader.
It was only then after months spent in some of the seediest Muslim bars in New york, that the gang began to plan their fateful strike at the heart of American democracy and our peace loving republic.
After constantly refusing the weapons and explosives our brave undercover agent had offered to supply them, they at last relented and agreed to accompany him on a tour of New york to scout for possible targets.
After two days of constantly driving the criminals round New york, they begged to be driven home and it was on that fateful drive home that one of the suspects said 'How about I piss in the reservoir will that make you happy man?'
It was at this point we decided to pull our agent out and make the arrests before they could put this dastardly plan into action."
The men are now being held at an unknown location believed to be somewhere within the vast American empire.

4. It is stated that GSK India is currently one of the market leaders in respect of pharmaceuticals products in India, employing more than 4,000 people and its product portfolio includes prescription medicines and vaccines.5. It is averred in the plaint that the plaintiffs', in association with their subsidiaries/associate companies under GSK Plc, manufactures and markets pharmaceutical and healthcare products under well known brands such as CALPOL, CROCIN, ENO, BETNOVATE, AMOXIL, AUGMENTIN, SERETIDE, ZINETAC, CEFTUM , HORLICKS, AQUAFRESH, SENSODYNE, etc.6. It is further averred that 'GSK' is an acronym derived from the company name 'GlaxoSmithKline' that is stated to be used by the plaintiffs since the year 2000. It is further averred that plaintiffs are widely known and referred to as 'GSK' and the said acronym and mark have become synonymous with the plaintiffs.7. It is stated that plaintiff no 2 is the registered proprietor of the mark 'GSK' and other 'GSK' related marks in India in various classes such as 1,3,5,9,10,16,21,29,30,32,35,41,42 and the said registrations are valid and still in force.8. The plaintiffs claim that sometime in April,2009, while browsing the website of the Registrar of Companies (ROC), it came to their knowledge that a company by the name of 'GSK Life Sciences Private Limited'(hereafter 'the Company') is using the acronym 'GSK' as part of their trade name "GSK Life Sciences Limited" . It is further claimed that as per ROC records, the Company was incorporated on 07.10.2008 having its registered office at 8-5-210/43, Shiva Enclave, Old Bowenpally, Secundrabad, Andhra Pradesh. It is stated that on making further inquiries, the plaintiffs came to know that Defendant is one of the Directors of the Company and further that Company's registered office was a fake address and that no balance sheet or annual returns had been filed by the Company. Thereafter, the plaintiffs filed a complaint under Section 22 of the Companies Act, 1956 with the Regional Director to declare the Company as defunct. The said complaint is stated to be pending.9. It is stated in the plaint that plaintiffs recently came to know about certain persons who through their profiles on the website www.LinkedIn.com,claimed themselves to be the representatives of the Company. It is further stated that the head office of the Company is at A-6, First Floor, Pul Pehladpur, main Surajkund Road, New Delhi. The plaintiffs further state that the business cards used by the defendant's representatives show that they are not only using the mark/name 'GSK' as part of their trade name but are also using the logo in the drop form inscribing the letters 'GSK', which is exactly similar to the plaintiffs' logo. It is averred by the plaintiffs that the Company is clandestinely carrying out its operations under the name 'GSK Life Sciences Private Limited'. It is further averred that plaintiffs on 07.03.2013 sent a Cease and Desist notice to the Company followed by various letters to amicably settle the disputes. It is further stated that the defendant responded by stating that the Company is using 'GSK' as the same are the initials of his name - Dr. Gadikota Sarath Kumar Reddy.10. The plaintiffs' claim that defendant's use of the name/mark/logo 'GSK' in relation to pharmaceutical products amounts to infringement of its statutory rights in the mark 'GSK' as per Section 29(5) of the Trade Marks Act, 1999. It is further claimed that the mark/name 'GSK' is a well known mark as per Section 2(1)(zg) read with Section 11(6) of the Trade Marks Act, 1999 and therefore, deserves stronger protection.11. On 30.05.2013, this court while issuing summons in the suit and notice in the application I.A 9577/2013 under Order XXXIX Rule 1&2, CPC passed an ex parte ad-interim injunction restraining the defendant from using the name/mark/logo "GSK" or any other mark deceptively similar to the plaintiffs' name/mark/logo "GSK". Although the defendant was served, however, he did not enter appearance and participate in the present proceedings. Accordingly, he was proceeded ex-parte on 21.11.2013.12. Mr Rakesh Chhabra (hereafter 'PW1'), being constituted attorney of plaintiff no 2, has filed an affidavit affirming the averments made in the plaint . PW1 has filed a copy of the authorization in his favour to depose on behalf of plaintiff no2 which has been marked as Mark A. PW1 has deposed that GSK group's websites www.gsk.com and www.gsk- india.com can be accessed worldwide and the screenshots of the said websites have been exhibited as Exhibit PW1/3.13. PW1 has affirmed that logo appears on all the products manufactured and sold by the plaintiffs in India. PW1 has further affirmed that GSK India is one of the market leaders in the domestic pharmaceutical industry with the turnover of 3021 crores in 2013.14. PW1 has duly proved the plaintiffs' registrations of 'GSK' and 'GSK' related marks on a worldwide basis by filing the copies of registration certificates from various countries as Exhibit PW1/4 (Colly). PW1 has also duly proved that plaintiff no 2 is the registered proprietor of the mark 'GSK' in India in relation to pharmaceutical and medicinal preparations in class 05 by filing the copy of the registration certificate as Exhibit PW1/5. PW1 has also furnished the details of registrations of the mark 'GSK' in India in various classes such as 1,3,5,9,10,16,21,29,etc.15. PW1 deposed that GSK Plc's annual turnover has exceeded GBP 20 Billion in each financial year since 2005. PW1 has furnished the revenue and financial figures of the plaintiffs for the year 2012 and the same have been exhibited as Exhibit PW1/6. In addition, PW1 has also furnished the sales figures of all the products sold by plaintiff no 1 and/or its associates/subsidiaries in India from the year 2003 to 2012.16. PW1 has also produced a copy of the relevant extract as downloaded from the Company Master Details of ROC as Exhibit PW1/7 which proves that the Company was registered with the tradename "GSK Life Sciences Private Limited".17. PW1 also produced the screenshots of the LinkedIn profiles of the individuals who claimed to be working for 'GSK Life Sciences Private Limited' as Exhibit PW1/9(Colly). PW1 has also produced the business cards of representatives of the Company using the trademark/name and logo 'GSK' as Exhibit PW1/10. Various email exchanges between the Plaintiffs and Defendant have been exhibited as Exhibited PW1/11.18. During the course of the hearing, the learned counsel for the plaintiffs has provided copies of packaging of the products which are being sold by the defendant under the mark/logo 'GSK' using the corporate name "GSK Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd" as the trade name as well. On a bare perusal of the said copies, it is clearly established that the Company is manufacturing and dealing in products under the mark "GSK".19. In view of the above, it is evident that plaintiffs are the registered owners of the mark 'GSK' in India in class 05 in relation to pharmaceutical and medicinal preparations. It is also evident that defendant is operating in the field of pharmaceuticals, the field in which the plaintiffs are also operating, and using the acronym "GSK" in its corporate name as well as in its trade name and is thus, infringing plaintiffs' registered trademarks. It is also apparent that the logo of the defendant is deceptively similar to the plaintiffs logo.20. The Supreme Court in Milmet Oftho Industries and Others v. Allergan Inc.: (2004) 12 SCC 624 had held as under:-"In respect of medicinal products it was held that exacting judicial scrutiny is required if there was a possibility of confusion over marks on medicinal products because the potential harm may be far more dire than that in confusion over ordinary consumer products. It was held that even though certain products may not be sold across the counter, nevertheless it was not uncommon that because of lack of competence or otherwise that mistakes arise specially where the trade marks are deceptively similar. It was held that confusion and mistakes could arise even for prescription drugs where the similar goods are marketed under marks which looked alike and sound alike. It was held that physicians are not immune from confusion or mistake. It was held that it was common knowledge that many prescriptions are telephoned to the pharmacists and others are handwritten, and frequently the handwriting is not legible. It was held that these facts enhance the chances of confusion or mistake by the pharmacists in filling the prescription if the marks appear too much alike."21. The learned counsel for the plaintiffs had referred to the decision of a coordinate bench of this Court in Time Incorporated v. Lokesh Srivastava & Anr.: 2005 (30) PTC 3 (Del) and prayed for grant of exemplary and punitive damages against the defendant.22. Apart from producing copies of packaging of the infringing products, there is no other material which would indicate the extent of the sales of the defendant. Further, the Plaintiffs have also not been able to quantify any loss caused to them by use of the trade mark 'GSK' by the Defendant. In view of the aforesaid, it is difficult to hold that the Plaintiffs are entitled to damages. Accordingly, the same is rejected.23. In view of the aforesaid, the decree is granted in terms of prayer made in paragraph (i) (ii)and (iii), that is, as under:"(i)An order of permanent injunction restraining the Defendants, their companies, their directors, partners or proprietors as the case may be, their officers, servants, agents and representatives from:-a. Using the name/mark GSK as a part of their trade name/trading style;b. Using the deceptively similar logo alone or in conjunction with the trade name/ trading style GSK Life Science Pvt. Ltd.c. Manufacturing, selling and marketing pharmaceutical, health care and medicinal preparations and/or any other goods/ services under the trade name 'GSK Life Sciences Private Limited' or any other mark/ name/logo which is deceptively similar to it including the colour scheme, font style and the manner of representation of the mark; andd. Advertising, directly or indirectly of manufacturing/ marketing pharmaceutical, healthcare and medicinal preparations under the trade name 'GSK Life Sciences Private Limited' and/or any other mark/name deceptively similar to the Plaintiff's trade mark/name GSK and/or in any other manner, whatsoever, amounting to infringement of the Plaintiffs' registrations for GSK and GSK related marks which have been listed out under the preceding paragraph no. 19.ii) An order of permanent injunction restraining the Defendants, their directors, partners or proprietors as the case may be, their officers, servants, agents and representatives from advertising, directly or indirectly, using the name/ mark/logo GSK as their trademark, trade name and/or any other mark deceptively similar to the Plaintiffs trademark/name/logo GSK and/or in any other manner whatsoever doing any other thing as may be likely to cause confusion or deception amounting to passing off their goods and business as and for those of the Plaintiffs.iii) An order for delivery up of all printed matter, including stationery, goods, dyes, blocks, cartons, labels, packaging boxes, plastic covers, etc. bearing the name/mark/logo GSK to the authorized representative of the Plaintiffs for the purpose of destruction."24. The plaintiffs are also awarded costs. Decree Sheet be drawn accordingly.

text: I'm looking at finally getting an AR next year, but I hear a lot of "these are good", "those suck", etc... I just want some honest opinions from people who don't work at the gun shop . I want to spend about 1K, so that should put a pretty decent one in my hands. Main questions are: What brands to check out? Caliber, 5.56 or .223? Barrel length?

This project is an exploration of child identity and the mother - daughter relationship.
I wasn't sure if I wanted to become a mother. Now, I couldn't imagine my life without my daughter, June.
The moments come and go so quickly. I want to remember this precious time and the often conflicting emotions associated with them.
Capturing my daughter's moments in time, these images trigger my unconscious emotional state, and through the eyes of my child I am able to connect to myself and to her.
Combining photographs and sincere journal entries, The Wish of June produces an honest and intimate journey with the mother - daughter relationship.

In the spare time between weekend parties and late-night library sessions, many college students are consumed by the same singular thought: their crippling amount of debt.
The average 2016 college graduate entered the real world with $37,000 in loans, adding to the $1.3 trillion national total. Students are left with the heavy burden of student debt for years after graduation. Repaying this debt displaces retirement savings, buying a house or starting a family.
College is still affordable to those families with proportionately high incomes. For those with middle- to low-incomes, scholarships, grants, and financial aid can dilute the cost of education but are often left with no choice but to take out loans.
To tackle student debt, the first step we must take is to educate ourselves on how to manage debt, preferably in a way that doesn't deter future plans. This way we can provide a stable and more secure future for everyone. If our colleges help us understand the debt we are taking on, we'll be more likely to succeed in managing debt later on.
The interview
Sandra Mejia, Associate Director of Student Financial Services at Temple, has nearly 12 years of experience in the field – two years with us at Temple and ten years at the Community College of Philadelphia.
We asked Mejia how we could ensure students, particularly those with debt, understand what this will mean for their future and how best to manage that debt.
"I believe that it should be imbedded into curricula presented at Temple," said Mejia. "There are instructors who invite us to discuss this with students as part of their syllabus. We need to speak in terms – lingo – that they understand. Many times financial aid and debt terminology feels very foreign and students do not understand what they are hearing or reading."
Temple offers many resources for students that very few take advantage of. Mejia believes students feel like they don't have to worry about their debt until they graduate. Many students have their parents handling their financial responsibilities. While Financial Services does send the occasional invitation to events through email, they typically get lost in the inbox of students.
Resources offered include one-on-one counseling and events, such as "Owl About the Money," a day of activities that offer tips and tidbits on saving what you currently have. Mejia's team is also looking to start a Financial Literacy page, which would allow for interactive games, videos and other tools to help…

So this morning, I took myself to a dentistry hospital on Gray's Inn Road to have a lump examined on my gum. I spotted it about 4 months ago and showed it to the dentist who referred me to the hospital. It hasn't got any larger, and it doesn't hurt or bleed, or anything like that, but obviously my cousin's experience with throat cancer preys heavily on my mind, and it never harms to be told that you're a hypochondriac...
As it turns out, there is something wrong with me, but I'm pleased to report that it's nothing serious. I have a "mandibular torus," which is basically a sort of bone spur, which may or may not get bigger with time. If it gets enormous, I can have it removed, but at the moment it's just a few mili-metres across. I immediately looked on line and found some horrific pictures of people with similar problems, but you'd have to look very hard to see mine, and even then you'd need to peer at my lower inside gum with a specially adapted light for a very long time.
I came home from the hospital and worked in the cafe for several hours before taking myself on a whistle stop tour of print shops in North London. The Pepys Motet and A Symphony for Yorkshire are both being entered for a major composing award, but the judges need three copies of each of the scores in order to do their thing. That's a lot of photocopying – 300 pages in fact - as both works are pretty lengthy. I copied them at A3 size, but still each line is tiny. The judges will need magnifying glasses to glean anything useful from them, but A3 is the biggest-sized paper within any reasonable budget.
The first print place I visited quoted me £110 for the job, which instinctively felt incredibly high, particularly as they'd printed my Pepys scores last year, and done a lovely job, for a fraction of the cost. When I pointed this fact out, the man behind the counter got belligerent and said, "what happened last year is irrelevant. Times change." "Yes" I thought, "we've sunk even further into a recession, and if you double your prices, you'll go out of business twice as fast." I obviously didn't say this out loud. I wasn't feeling angry enough, so I thanked him profusely for his time and told him I'd give the matter some thought. I left, went to Finchley Central, got served by a lovely chatty women, and was charged £40. Bish, bash, bosh as they say...
I've been running... to Finsbury Park and back. The world, his wife, their dog and their toddler were running along Parkland Walk. It's amazing what a bit of sunshine will do!
Finsbury Park backwards is Krapy rub snif. Upton Park backwards is Krap not Pu. These thoughts amuse me when my legs feel like jelly.
350 years ago, Pepys spent the morning in Deptford, trying to work out why the fleet of ships that, one assumes, had been commissioned to pick up Catherine de Braganza had been delayed. We're not told where they'd been delayed, or if Sandwich et al were with them, but the Duke of York was in a tizz about the situation. In the afternoon, Pepys returned to the City and went drinking at The Bell on The Strand, next to the famous maypole, which had been erected (by sailors) in readiness for May Day 1661, as a finger up to the cheery Cromwell, who'd torn it down. It was the largest maypole in London, until it was blown down by high winds in the 1670s.
Pepys was drinking with his old gang of clerk friends, many of whom he'd not seen for years. One, James Chetwind, came in for particular criticism. "Mr. Chetwind by chewing of tobacco is become very fat and sallow, whereas he was consumptive." Who knows, really why it was better to be fat and sallow than consumptive. Perhaps consumptive had a different meaning back then? I always thought fat was a good thing in the 17th Century, so perhaps the observation was actually a compliment.

Insurer still counting Christchurch quake impact
Insurer IAG says it is too soon to know how big an impact the latest earthquake in Christchurch will have on the company.
Source: Lateline Business | Duration: 2min 26sec
Topics: company-news, economic-trends, insurance, earthquake, new-zealand, australia, china
TICKY FULLERTON, PRESENTER: Insurer IAG issued its latest market guidance today, but that's already been overtaken by events.
IAG says it's too soon to determine the business impact of the latest Christchurch earthquake.
But there is one certainty: rising insurance premiums.
Phillip Lasker reports.
PHILLIP LASKER, REPORTER: As the ground shifted in Christchurch yet again, so will the ground of insurer IAG.
MIKE WILKINS, CEO, IAG: Had the event of 24 hours ago not occurred we were on track to deliver an insurance margin in our previously stated 8 per cent to 10 per cent range.
Until we've got a better picture of Christchurch that's the best indication that we've got, but we have committed to come back to the market immediately we're able to do so, to update it.
PHILLIP LASKER: It's likely IAG chief, Mike Wilkins, will be back for an update. But in the meantime it's onwards and upwards for businesses in Australia, New Zealand and Asia. Particularly China, where IAG says it's close to a joint venture deal with a regional player.
MIKE WILKINS: The priority for us is now to step up the initiatives to drive profitable organic growth in these businesses, while remaining open to any acquisition opportunities that may present themselves.
PHILLIP LASKER: Then there's the struggling United Kingdom car insurance business, which the IAG boss wanted to keep against the better judgment of some investors. That won't break even until at least next financial year.
The natural disasters and rising reinsurance costs now and in the future, of at least $600 million, means one thing for domestic consumers.
MIKE WILKINS: We do believe that premiums are going to increase. At the moment across our portfolios, when you look in total, we see increases in the range of five per cent to 10 per cent, however, that will be more skewed towards the property classes of insurance rather than motor and other classes.
PHILLIP LASKER: Rising insurance costs is one reason consumers are finding it harder to make ends meet and reluctant to spend, which is reflected in the latest National Australia Bank Business Conditions Survey showing conditions continue to deteriorate in May.
ROB BROOKER, NATIONAL AUSTRALIA BANK: Much of the domestic economy still looks pretty soft to us. The survey's indicated a lot of softness for manufacturing, retail, wholesale, parts of transport as well.
PHILLIP LASKER: RBA (Reserve Bank of Australia) governor, Glenn Stevens, is due to deliver his view tomorrow.

Father, through Jesus you have given me so much.
I have a Savior, Jesus Christ and
I can have great joy and peace found only through Him.
Don't let the depth of that pass me by.
And just as I see the shepherds and the angels giving glory and praise to you, let me not miss that.
All glory to you, the Almighty God.
All praise and honor to you, Jesus the Christ.
Fill me with this awe. Not the "magic" of Christmas, but the truth of Christmas.
For unto me, a Savior has been born. Thank you for your great love.

Gucci has seen some dramatic changes of late, including the departure of former creative director, Frieda Giannini, and the announcement of the new creative director, Alessandro Michele. Michele was asked to hit the ground running, reworking the men's 2015 collection at the last minute and then moving on quickly to present his first women's collection shortly after. The Wes Anderson meets gender-bender collection received mixed reviews but showed promise of a creative director willing to take risks.
For the pre-fall 2015, Gucci has once again called upon Michele to put his touch on a project he didn't initiate as the collection was designed by Giannini; however, the look speaks volumes about Michele and his idea of a new Gucci girl. Under Michele's leadership, Gucci is repositioning itself from the overtly sexy attitude Gucci has become known for under Tom Ford's reign, to a subtler and quirky take on sensuality. But have no fear that the house will shy away from its provocative past, as Michele has kept the most central element of Gucci's heritage, the 'loveseat.'
Gucci's ultimate aphrodisiac, the 'loveseat,' played a prominent role in the Tom Ford's fall 1996 campaign as models Georgina Grenville and Ludovico Benazzo exchanged lustful gazes. Fast forward to pre-fall 2015 and Michele, along with art director Christopher Simmonds, keep the heritage alive as models Alexandra Elizabeth Ljadov and Julia Hafstrom longingly look at a faceless model while lounging on . . . the loveseat.
But outside of Michele's new direction for the house, we find ourselves left wondering if Gucci hasn't been trying to tell us something all along. That the house of Gucci starts in the house, and we need to buy some new furniture!

Why is fengshui so popular nowadays? It comes from an eastern concept of balance, so why it is that in today, even the skeptical westerners are believing in this ancient Chinese way of balancing in harmony with the surrounding?
If you believe that every object gives out energy, chances that in some corners, these energies are going to "collide", and this is a bad sign to have. This is negative. So in short, fengshui is all about men trying to live harmoniously with the environment and gathering positive forces to improve the overall wellness in life.
Men are the same essentially, if you take away race and languages. Hence fengshui to me makes sense to anyone of us, no matter where you are from. It is a practice for better living that transcends beyond the human divides.
Thus today, fengshui has an important role when there is a new building to be constructed, a new business agreement to be signed to a baby to be named. The concept is applicable to nearly every aspect of life thus there is huge business opportunities in this area. Any outcome in life can be explained with fengshui.
One thing that it owes to is that fengshui is intuitive in nature and is practical. Sometimes people simply dismiss it as pure superstition, as craps, like how come a person's life improved just by looking at some dates or timings, or some weird looking animal statues.
For me, I personally believe in fengshui. While I may not be very particular as to where I shall have a mirror or I need to place a pot of goldfish at that dark corner of the hall, generally I take into the consideration of aligning my bed to the right fengshui direction.
There are still many things to learn here and if you are keen, you can always refer to many books about this topic in the bookshops or internet.

Well, I didn't actually steal it...I was given permission by Deb over at Menopausal New Mom to take the survey too. I thought it would be fun, as I have watched it circulate around different blogs over the past couple of weeks. I was just waiting for it to be my turn to take it! So, now it is!
Have you started your Christmas shopping?
I have, and we're almost done!
Tell me about one of your special traditions.
Well, since we are a relatively "new" family, we haven't set any traditions yet. I guess we are working on that.
When do you put up your Tree?
The day after Thanksgiving :)
Are you a Black Friday shopper?
Heck no! I can't see putting that much stress on myself just to save a few dollars. Plus, I would end up getting trampled on and killed like the Wal Mart worker last year.
Do you Travel at Christmas or Stay home?
We generally go to my Parent's house, and then go south to the Hubbie's Grandmothers house, but this year we get to stay home because my brother leaves for boot camp on January 10th, and I wanted to spend my entire Christmas with him and my family :)
What is your funniest Christmas memory?
My brother used to sleep in my room on Christmas Eve, and one year we both woke up around 3 a.m. Of course, "Santa" had already come, so we got up and snuck into the living room to see if we could look at some of our presents. We would both grab a present and then race back to my room to look at it. My Dad had a tick tock clock that sat on the mantle, and during one of our trips into the living room to grab a present, the clock went off. It seemed so loud, we both jumped out of our skin and ran as fast as we could back to my room. My brother ended up stumping his toe on a wooden box that my Mom used for decoration. When we got back to my room, we decided that we had looked at enough presents and we should probably go back to sleep. I look back on that now, and wonder why in the world we were so scared. I guess we thought that we were doing wrong by looking at our presents before sunrise.
What is your favorite Christmas Movie of All time?
It is really a tough tie between The Santa Claus with Tim Allen & National Lampoons Christmas Vacation.
Do you do your own Christmas Baking? What's your favorite treat?
I don't bake, but my favorite thing that my Mom cooks and has been tradition every since I can remember on Christmas Day, is her breakfast casserole. It gets better EVERY YEAR!
Fake or Real Tree?
We have a fake tree just because I don't like the clean up of a real tree, and I wasn't sure if my allergies could handle a real tree.
What day (as a Mom) does the actual panic set in to get it all done?
I don't think I ever panic, I just continue to get really excited!
Are you still wrapping presents on Christmas Eve?
Depends, but probably won't be this year. I already have a few under the tree now.
What is your favorite family fun time at Christmas?
Going to the Christmas Parade, and then going to my Parents for food afterwards. That didn't happen this year though :(
What Christmas craft do you like the best?
I'm not a real crafty person honestly. I would like to be...it just never happens.
Christmas music? Yes or No. And if yes, What is your favorite song?
Christmas music is only allowed AFTER Thanksgiving, and I love it. My favorite song is either "The Christmas Song" by Nat King Cole or "Merry Christmas (War is Over)" by John Lennon.
When do you plan to finish all your shopping?
A few places like Toys R Us and Target :)
Feel free to copy and paste the survey and take it yourself too!
