Re: Let's Build a WN Organization - SYL Discussion
Julius, I'm looking at you here, I know you want this, and I know you can make it happen, so go find a few people to nudge in this direction
it would seem those accept nationalism as an ideology, rather than adopt it through life experiences.
It is good that you have been through this, it's good you met these "noble negroes" as it means your views have been challenged by something far more powerful than any anti and you have used your life experiences to find the right answers.
It is also good that you met these "noble negroes" as your opinion of other races will be more rounded now, and more grounded in reality, which is a good thing.
In life we will meet the "noble" non-white, the intelligent non-white, the good and the kind non-white and it is good when we have accepted this, and when after accepting it our faith can still be strong.
It also means now you know in your heart that it is not about hate for them, but that it truly is built upon a desire to build something better for us.
I have a feeling that after your crisis of faith, whether you know it or not, you will probably now be a better and stronger nationalist.

Re: Let's Build a WN Organization - SYL Discussion
We do this because we love and care about our people, their preservation and their advancement into the far future.
Sounds to me like you still need to grow and evolve in your understanding of why we fight this fight.
My sincere best wishes to you. If you would like to talk or have any questions, feel free to send me a PM.

Re: Let's Build a WN Organization - SYL Discussion
If the lots were cast differently and I was born black, I would be proud of my race and looking to advance the interests of the African people as much as I could. In fact, I respect blacks like that far more than any unawakened white. By pursuing our race's best interest we are also pursuing the best interests of other races, indirectly. It's a wonderful, free-market-like cycle.

Re: Let's Build a WN Organization - SYL Discussion
Names : United Nationalist Youth
International White Youth
Union of nationalists.
Hierarchy : Committee consisting of the leader of each country . International leader should be elected by voting of the leaders.
Leaders should be over 25 and veteran nationalists.
Each group within a country should decide by voting and elect leaders this way. Some money should be paid to.support the organization. If there is extra money they should be kept for a rainy dday and
40% given to stormfront.
Plan of action : Our goal should be to promote white culture and defend white integrity. . To awaken our people and ensure thatevery member strives for perfection .

Re: Let's Build a WN Organization - SYL Discussion
I also like the Idea of giving Money to stormfront, perhaps with some also going to needy whites and perhaps political parties like Golden Dawn.

Re: Let's Build a WN Organization - SYL Discussion
As others have pointed out, we should emphasize what we are FOR rather than what we are AGAINST. This presents a more positive message which will have greater inherent appeal. Some seem to be focused with organizational schemes, which to me misses the most fundamental point...
If you look around the world at groups who have successfully built a loyal following within a society dominated by a hostile elite they all have one thing in common...THEY PROVIDED FOR THE NEEDS OF THEIR CONSTITUENTS THAT WERE NOT BEING MET BY THE EXISTING RULING POWER STRUCTURE.
The Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas and Hezbollah are all excellent examples of this. They have risen to prominence among their peoples in the face of hostile elites who persecuted them on every level...and they did so by providing for the unmet needs of their peoples. The social welfare systems they built have served to make their presence both pervasive and popular within their own communities.
If one truly wants to build a white nationalist organization with a view toward eventually achieving political power, this is way it is done. The National Socialists in Germany did not achieve political power (or popularity) through ideological rhetoric, they did so by proving to the people that they could be, and would be, effective at providing for the needs of the German people. In Germany of the early 1930's, what they people needed was employment, a stable currency and a renewed sense of hope. The National Socialists concentrated their main efforts on meeting these needs and when their chance came, they were ready.
First one must identify what are the needs of our prospective constituency which are not being met by the existing power structure. Once we have determined what those unmet needs are, we need to formulate effective strategies to address those needs. It is not enough merely to bring succor to our people. To gain the maximum political advantage from these efforts we must ensure that people are educated to understand that the current power structures have failed them AND that it is WE who are providing effective solutions to address their needs...and that we are able to do this in spite of, rather than because of, the current power structures in this country.
While the Dem/Rep political machine peddles promises and baseless rhetoric, we must provide real tangible improvements for our people. Propaganda is a powerful tool in molding public opinion, but real and tangible improvements in people's lives are far more powerful.
Some will argue that we should not attempt to create a "welfare state" to compete with the exisiting welfare state. But isn't the welfare of our people the real central issue for any legitimate organization? When I speak of welfare, I am not talking about imitating the dependency programs of the existing power structures. I am talking about programs that effectively protect the welfare of our people. Not necessarily through "hand outs", although we should be prepared to contribute generously to those of our people truly in need, but through helping hands.
Where our people are being victimized by black crime and the current power structure will not protect them, then we should step up to protect them. When the currrent power structures will not enforce the border and protect our people from a flood of illegal immigrants, then we should step up and protect them. When our children are being indoctrinated and dumbed down by public school systems, we should step up and provide alternative educational systems so that our children can be property prepared to take their rightful place in this world. Where our people are hungry, we should step up to feed them. Where our people are homeless, we should step up to help them find shelter. When our people cannot find employment, we should step up and find ways to provide honest employment for them.
Sometimes we may be able to address a problem by infiltrating existing local institutions, like school boards for example. In other cases we we may need to create new institutions. In some instances we may find that protecting our people requires that we take measures which will be opposed by the existing power structures...and here we must not waiver. We must in all cases do what is necessary to protect the welfare of our people. I'm not suggesting that we be stupid or reckless about how we go about this business, only that opposition by the current power structure is never a sufficient reason to abandon our mission. There are almost always methods and/or strategies to work around this opposition...FIND THEM.
Others have correctly pointed out that these efforts need to come from the grass roots level, but there is a role to play for higher level leadership. Those roles include coordination of activities, facilitating a constant exchange of information so that we can all learn from each other's trials and errors. There is no reason to attempt to reinvent the wheel in 100,000 communities. But the real heavy lifting is going to be done at the local level and this is where we most desparately need effective leaders, organizers, educators and activists.
If we lead with our good works and let our ideology follow, we will find our people far more receptive to us. It also makes the job of our opponents far more difficult. While they are decrying our "ideology" we will be busily providing real solutions for real problems which directly affect the lives of our people.
This is not a short cut to victory...in and of itself, this strategy will not bring about the downfall of the existing power structure. What it will do is lay the ground work so that we will be in a position to not only achieve political power, but more importantly so that we will have the infrastructure and the legitimacy with which to govern when we do. At the end of the day, our primary struggle is not with external demons so much as it is an internal struggle to put our own house in order; to re-educate our people about who they are, where they come from and where we must go if we are to survive; and to build the social structures without which we lack any ability to effectively organize ourselves.

Re: Let's Build a WN Organization - SYL Discussion
Hey Bob, thanks for the input: I agree with you. We spent a lot of time thinking names and flag designs, which is the last thing to think about.
I'm going at it on the local level. What I'm doing is talking to people I know and I'm now setting up a meeting between the group of us. The idea is for a civic group in our local communities. We will get out there and engage people, help them, and clean up.
Today after I got home from the store I saw an old couple collecting firewood and putting it in the back of their pickup. I walked over and helped them out. We talked for a bit and they were very thankful, so I made sure to add as I always do a "us white guys have to stick together." In doing so I make it about race and show that us white nationalists are the ones who care about them.
He agreed, and I feel great for helping. HELP YOUR PEOPLE GUYS!!!

Retail: $599.99 43% off!
Condition: Refurbished
This Deal is ALL GONE, but here are some similar deals that you might like:
The Apple iPad Air 2 is incredibly light, thin and capable. A massive upgrade from the original iPad Air, it has a robust A8X chip with 64-bit architecture. What's more, it has a gorgeous and generous high-definition 9.7-inch screen that makes it the perfect display for the images you'll capture with the device's iSight camera.
The 8-MP camera has advanced optics, an improved sensor and an image signal processor that returns detailed and near cinematic imagery every time. Even video calls are high-resolution and stunning. Also, for such a small package, the speakers produce an oversized sound. Lastly, you get faster connectivity, iCloud functionality, iOS 8, and a fingerprint sensor ensures that the device remains secure at all times.
Not just a thinner display. A beautiful display.
To create the astonishingly thin silhouette of iPad Air 2, we started by redesigning the Retina display, fusing what had been three layers into one. Not only did this make the display thinner, it made it better, with more vivid colours and greater contrast. Then we added an anti-reflective coating, giving iPad Air 2 one of the least reflective displays of any tablet in the world.
Massive power. In a minimal form.
Not only is iPad Air 2 thinner, it's also a lot more powerful. We designed a chip, the A8X, that delivers substantially better CPU and graphics performance than its predecessor. In fact, with its 64-bit desktop-class architecture, iPad Air 2 is as powerful as many personal computers. It's power efficient too, with a 10-hour battery life that lets you work, play, surf and shop all day long.
Advanced security. Right at your fingertip.
iPad Air 2 comes with our breakthrough Touch ID technology. It gives you an unprecedented level of security because it uses nature's most perfect password: your fingerprint. So with just one touch, you can instantly unlock your iPad Air 2. But Touch ID goes beyond that. You can also make secure purchases in iTunes, iBooks and the App Store.
Two amazing cameras. Cleverly disguised as an iPad.
The iSight camera in iPad Air 2 delivers advanced optics, an improved sensor and a powerful Apple-designed image signal processor. There are features like panorama, time-lapse videos, slo-mo, and burst and timer modes. The front-facing FaceTime HD camera has been redesigned too, with an improved sensor and larger pixels for even better low-light performance. The upshot? All your photos and videos — and video calls and selfies — look incredible.
Fast wireless connectivity.
Wi‑Fi on iPad Air 2 is fast — more than twice as fast as the previous generation — so downloading films and streaming videos take less time. And the Wi‑Fi + Cellular model is equipped with faster, more advanced 4G LTE technology.2 Plus with Apple SIM, you can choose a plan quickly and easily in over 100 countries and territories straight from your device. So you can make fast connections, even when you're on the go.

I have recently been introducing my second graders to the biography section of our library and pulled three lower-reading level titles for them to choose from: Benjamin Franklin, Wilma Rudolph, and Neil Armstrong. (I love giving them a choice--and they seem to appreciate it too.) After a brief intro to biography* in general and the mechanics of the biography section (ABC order by last name of person its about. . .), I introduced the concept of copyright date--how to find it in a book and why it is important. This book was published in 2003. When we found the date, I told them to remember it because it would be important. (*Most of my students have already been introduced to biography in their classrooms as early as first grade, so this is largely a chance to ask them to tell me what a biography is and fill in some blanks if necessary.)
For an intro to biography, this title has been one of the better ones for my younger readers. The facts were interesting, the pictures good (for large group read-aloud, some of the pictures would be too small for them to see without a document camera), and the title included a title page, a glossary and index. That said, I would not want to use it without an appropriate lesson about the importance of copyright date and using multiple sources when researching for reports. I led the students in a discussion to think about how much can change in a person's life in one year, two years, or ten years and asked them if they thought that some things might have changed. They seemed to think on that for a moment or so and then agreed that things could have indeed changed. Then I turned to the page that mentioned that Mr. Armstrong lives in Ohio (present tense). Putting the ball in their court, I asked the students if they thought it was a good idea to use only one source for a research project. I just hope that they remember this example. What I liked about this title is that it gave pertinent information that
many biographies for younger readers tend to leave out--specifically,
when and where the person was born. (Come on publishers--when teachers
ask a young student to do a biography report, those are two facts that
they would usually like to have, and too many of the bios written for
the younger reader leave that info out.)
Interesting to note, one of my 2nd graders wanted to know why the book did not include the famous quote about "one small step for man." I was tickled that he knew the quote in the first place, and it led into an interesting discussion about how authors choose what to include and what to leave out.

MILWAUKEE — Reading Joan Beck`s article of July 7 on immigration and bilingual education took me back to my own school days. I was raised in an ethnic section of Chicago, where the inscriptions on the church and school buildings, the church services, and the language spoken in the streets were all Lithuanian.
My family spoke no English; neither did I when I was enrolled in the parochial school at the age of 6. Some of the parents, who were either less inclined to give their children the ``religious`` education stressed in the parochial school or could not afford even the meager tuition, sent their children to the public school. And here comes the interesting revelation.

I really love to use movies in my homeschool. Right now my oldest daughter is at an age that I can show her more mature films and it has been a lot of fun. She is studying the 1960's and 1970's right now in history and last week she watched:
West Side Story
She has been singing the songs all week. Here is one of her favorites:
She has been learning about the Space Race for a few weeks now and so I thought it was a good time to include Tom Hanks in Apollo 13. Watching movies about real events can really bring the topic the kids are reading about alive. They begin to feel connected to the people and events that took place.
Apollo 13
We have also been learning about the Civil Rights Movement. For my younger kids, I showed them films about Rosa Parks, Ruby Bridges and the movie Selma, Lord Selma. My oldest has already seen these films so I decided to show her Remember the Titans. It is true story about a newly appointed African American football coach and his first season working with a racially integrated team. It is an excellent film and I am excited to share it with her.
Remember the Titans
I stumbled upon this film years ago and was drawn in by the amazing story line and excellent acting. We may not get to see this one because of time, but I wanted to mention it here in case it is something you may want to check out.
The Right Stuff is a 1983 American film adapted fromTom Wolfe's 1979 book The Right Stuff about the test pilots who were involved in high-speed aeronautical research at Edwards Air Force Base as well as those selected to be astronauts for Project Mercury, the United States first attempt at manned spaceflight.
The Right Stuff
And a documentary: The surviving crew members from NASA's Apollo missions tell their story in their own words.
In the Shadow of the Moon
For my younger ones, we are going to reinforce their literature by watching the 1969 movie My Side of the Mountain based on the book of the same name that I am currently reading aloud. It is a wonderful story about a boy who is enchanted with nature and takes off to live on his family mountain alone with nothing but the clothes on his back. It tells all sorts of wonderful details about how he survives. I found this online pdf discussion and activity guide to add some interest.

Radioactive dating organic materials
Radioactive dating organic materials - arab azdg by dating in kingdom
Or for radiocarbon dating, the carbon 14 isotope will decay to regular carbon in carbon dioxide.By measuring the quantities of the radioactive elements in the object and knowing the rate (speed) by which the decay occurs, one can estimate the age of the object.
All in all, radiometric dating is one of the tools available in the scientific toolkit to help us date objects from the past.However, knowing its limitations can be a valid basis to question its application and it should not be assumed to be more accurate and absolute than it is often made to be.Another significant limitation of radiometric dating, is that only rocks can be dated that are igneous, rocks which were formed on the site.This includes rocks like basalt, which is a type of solidified lava. How can scientists claim rocks, fossils or a bone or tooth to be of a certain age?What methods are used for this dating and are they reliable?
In this appendix a brief overview of the most common dating techniques will be discussed.
It will show that under certain conditions scientifically reliable dating is possible, however the vast majority of rocks and fossils cannot be accurately dated.
And accurate dating of organic material is only possible if these remains are relatively young.
The best-known ways to assign age to an object is through several techniques jointly known as radiometric dating, also called radioisotope dating.
Radiometric dating is based on the fact that some radioactive elements undergo decay to produce new elements.
For instance, in the case of uranium-lead dating, uranium 238 (the parent element) will eventually decompose to lead 206 (the daughter).

The Plaza Pacoima development is a 28-acre commercial site including 4,000 square feet of retail, office and eatery space. Costco Wholesale Warehouse, the largest occupant on this site celebrated its ground breaking on January 9, 2009 with the support of various community leaders and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. The $78 million project developed by Primestor Development, Inc. is the former brownfield site (a former manufacturing plant) and earned a LEED-Silver certification for the entire development.
A key principal at Insight Civil Engineering, PLLC, supported the developer and the contractor throughout the construction phase. This included attending on-site weekly contractor meetings to review schedule, materials, and general construction management issues. In addition, design engineer answered Requests for Information (RFI's), solved time-sensitive conflict resolutions in order to maintain the scheduled construction milestones, and processed Change Orders with the local governing agency.
"It is expected to create 438 construction jobs and 354 permanent positions at a time when many projects are on hold." – Los Angeles Times
This project represents personal experience of a key principal of Insight Civil Engineering, PLLC, performed under the employment of Hall & Foreman, Inc.

September 21
Autumn EquinoxWhat a lovely weekend but now we're back to grey days.
It's still Organic September and if you are reading this you probably are buying organic already but why not try to persuade a friend to make a small change for Organic September by eating less, but better meat. Organic farmers provide their animals with the highest quality of life possibly and support biodiversity by providing natural habitats for wildlife. Animals are reared without the routine use of antibiotics and graze naturally on a GM free diet.
This week in the shop we'll have fresh organic bacon, cooked ham, minced beef and pork and stewing steak.
We also are starting to have deliveries of organic UK apples and pears.
For a full list of what's in the shop this week see our organic fruit and vegetable price guide.
Just to remind you that if you or a friend can't come to the shop you can take virtual tour! You can then email in an order and we will endeavour to deliver it - see our delivery page for details.
It's the Autumn Equinox on Wednesday. Have a good week! 11:31 AM
September 07
Organic SeptemberWe're now back to our regular blogs. My sister has returned from 2 family weddings in Canada and I just got to see all the photos on Facebook! It really feels as if summer is over. Once the children are back at school the weather always seems to change - cold nights and mornings, but we had a lovely sunny day yesterday! It's Organic September. If you are reading this you probably are buying organic already but why not try and persuade a friend to come and visit our shop or take a virtual tour!
For a full list of what's in the shop this week see our organic fruit and vegetable price guide.
No fresh meat or salmon this week but we do have a range of frozen organic meat with a 10% discount!
Have a good week! 11:01 AM

Muscat: A flying car has been rolled out by Zhejiang Geely Holding Group (Geely Holding) after the company signed an agreement with US-based Terrafugia Inc..
A prototype of a two-person aerial vehicle, The Transition, was released by Terrafugia in 2013. The Transition is designed to fly like a typical light sport aircraft and also work like a car on the ground. The limited series flying car will be commercially available in 2019. It is a folding-wing, two-seat aircraft, which alters between flight and drive modes in seconds.
TF-X, the world's first vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) four-seat flying car is an all-electric vehicle with a computer-controlled flight and will be made available by 2023.
In Oman, Geely Holding Group is represented by Towell Auto Centre (TAC).
A spokesperson of Towell Auto Centre (TAC) said, "Geely Holding Group believes in continuous innovation and Geely customers here in Oman stand to gain. Earlier customers benefitted from the modern aerodynamic styling and safety through the acquisition of Volvo cars and its design chief, Peter Horbury, joining Geely. As the owner of The London Taxi Company, Geely brings the technology of the iconic black cab to the table. Then in late 2017, Geely acquired the Lotus and Proton brands. Now customers will continue to benefit from the pioneering new technology of Terrafugia which has been taken over by Geely."

Most companies that we rate in our product guides will have had their supply chain management assessed. The criteria on which this assessment is based is listed below.
As you will see the rating is broken down into the four areas (policy, engagement, reporting, and difficult issues) each with a certain set of criteria that a company must fulfil to get top marks.
Small companies (turnover less than £8m) with an effective if not explicit practice addressing workers' rights in its supply chain are exempt.
So are companies whose products are all certified - or where necessary marketed - as fairtrade.

Happy Father's Day
To my handsome hunk of a Hubs.
Who doesn't care that I leave my deodorant by the front door {so I remember to put it on} and grow out pedicures every time I get one done.
Who tolerates me watching The Real Houswives of Everywhere and The Bachelorette.
Who appreciates every meal I set before him, even if it's frozen pizza for the third night in a row.
Who works so damn hard to provide for our family.
Who slow dances with Bee every time Annie's Song comes on.
Who carries Bubs in his arms instead of pushing him in the stroller, no matter how far we have to go.
Who keeps me on my toes by being smart and funny and and wonderful and kind, but also frustrating and perplexing at the same time.
Who loves our little unit like a crazy person, deeply and unconditionally, and isn't afraid to show it wherever and whenever he can.
Who is the best man I ever could have asked to fall in love with and get to marry. Who totally completes me, regardless of how cheesy it is to say it. Who has made me a better woman, and helps me get better every single day.
To my handsome hunk of a Hubs.
Thank you for our babies and your love.
All ways. Always.
Introducing Trisha Hughes for #ASKAMAMA Mondays
I'm thrilled to introduce the next Mama in the #ASKAMAMA series, food blogger and photographer TRISHA HUGHES!
Trisha authors the blog, Eat Your Beets, where she gets to share her favourite gluten-free, Paleo influenced recipes and her passion for food photography. She also gets to share this passion through her ebook, Eat Pretty Things, a complete how-to guide for people looking to step up their food photography game, and learn how to shoot and style beautiful food of their own.
She loves building her community on Instagram, where she posts real food inspiration and snippets from her daily life, along with occasionally sharing her ways of simplifying life through minimalist fashion.
I'm so excited that Trisha is the next mama on #ASKAMAMA Mondays, and to have her answering your questions!
Now, let's get started!
If you have a question for Trisha, anything related to food photography or queries on Paleo or gluten-free recipes, or even just how to keep up with a large family of your own – did I mention she has FOUR kids?! – then shoot me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com, post it on social media along with the hashtag #ASKAMAMA, or head on over to my blog iamthemamamantra.com, and fill out the online form.
You can also contact Trisha directly:
Instagram: @goeatyourbeets
Deadline for submissions will be Wednesday, May 13, 2015. So let's get those questions coming!
Oh, this was such fun to do.
I'd been seeing the Mother Daughter Tag pop up on YouTube and some other blogs I'd stumbled across, and thought that I absolutely had to get my mom on board to shoot our own!
My mother is a classy lady. But also can take the Mick out of anyone in the room. She's quick and witty and silly and I knew we'd have a blast.
So naturally when I asked, she said yes!
(We also ended up with a guest! Bubs decided his nap time was OVER, so he joined in for the final few questions!)
Here's how this, or any other "tag" works: A series of questions are posed, then each person has to guess what the other's answer would be.
Easy! And as you can imagine, there's lots of potential for hilarity.
There are a few different versions of the tag out there, but here are the questions we used:
- What is my favorite colour?
- What is my favorite flower?
- How tall am I?
- How old am I?
- Where did I meet my husband?
- How old was I when I had my ears pierced?
- If I was an animal, which animal would I be & why?
- Is my bed currently made or unmade?
Below is the finished product!
We really did have some good laughs while making it! I think the chemistry between moms and daughters are all so special and unique, and seeing your own play out on screen is just so cool. To have this now – this brief moment in time together – saved for posterity, means so much.
And man, I just know it'll get funnier as the years move on!
I'd highly recommend making your own!
And if you do what are some questions you'd pose to your mother or daughter?
Still Here! Still Pregnant!
Unacceptable, I know.
It has been forever and a day since I've blogged, which is something I am in the process of correcting.
Today is just a little note saying "hi! Don't forget about me!" And to update you briefly on a few things, bullet-point styles:
– I'm sitting (uncomfortably) at 38 weeks + 2 days pregnant. Which, if you remember from my 34-week pregnancy update, is just outside the cusp of when my midwife predicted I'd go into labour. Sooooo…. any minute now?? Hello? Bueller??
– The IKEA dresser is done! HUZZAH! It still smells like an IKEA dresser – which is to say, not great – so I have to find a way to make the drawers baby-clothes friendly before I load them up. Any tips??
– Bee is doing so great. She's growing smarter by the second, and just the other day crawled onto my lap, lifted my shirt and screamed at my belly, "BABY! COME OUT NOW!" I wonder where she got that from… heh…
– We're getting a new car! Upgrading our Forester to a new model that is super safe and will make me much more comfortable in when driving around 2 small children, especially with a potentially crazy winter looming….
– During this writers block funk, I have actually done a bit of writing! PercyVites, a super fun website that allows you and your child to create 3D video greetings, recently asked me to contribute a piece to their blog, PercyViews! My first time contributing to another site!! I had to do it! And of course I had to think of something that was relevant to my life at the moment, so I wrote a short bit on preparing your toddler for the new baby! Here's the link, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it 🙂
– In not so exciting news now: we had a bit of a scare. Again. At my 37-week positioning ultrasound last Friday, to make sure that Pelé is head down – the tech picked up that my amniotic fluid levels were on the very low side of normal. Still within the normal range, but just kinda super low. UGH. Since then I have had two other scans, the first measured the levels the same as the previous one. Which, my midwife said, would mean if it dropped any lower, would mean I would have to be induced. Totally not on my birth plan. But thankfully, yesterday's showed that the levels had gone up! I have no clue why or how that happened, but it means no induction! Well, for now. I go back next week for a follow-up ultrasound to make sure they haven't dropped again…. but I'm really hoping I have this kid on my own before then.
– I've decided to put #ASKAMAMA Monday on a bit of a hiatus as we prepare for this baby to arrive. I LOVE doing them – it's so much fun getting to know different Mamas and seeing what kind of questions come in for them to tackle – and having a soft deadline for myself has been really great for my spirits. Being a SAHM has been something I've struggled with a bit, so pushing myself to get the videos out every Monday has made me feel really good. Even though, yes, I know I still owe you all the last from Kat Armstrong! And I am slowly working on it! Unfortunately this writing funk has spilled over into an editing funk, but I'm working on it! I really am!!
So, yep. That's about it for now! I'm starting to feel the tingles back in my fingers, and will be back on this bandwagon for reals, real soon.
And in the meantime, here's a super cute picture of Bee givin' the bump some love for you all to enjoy.
A Bit About Today & My PPD.
I felt strange waking up to a world with no Robin Williams.
Strange in the sense that I felt… off. Slightly unbalanced.
I left my phone at home when taking Bee to daycare.
I crossed to the wrong side of the street, twice.
Got on the wrong subway.
Forgot to put on deodorant.
I've been lost in thought since hearing the news.
I wouldn't say I was a huge fan of his. I definitely appreciated his talent; I enjoyed countless numbers of his films. I always liked watching him in interviews, his unpredictability always kept me on my toes, "what's he going to do/say next??"
But it was this unpredictability though that also disturbed me, slightly. It was common knowledge amongst people who read celebrity news that he struggled with depression and addiction. So when watching him, watching all that manic and sweat on television, I often wondered if it was one of those demons driving his actions….
Depression is an unpredictable and scary thing. Addiction too, I'm sure. But what I know about, what I can speak of, is depression.
After Bee's birth, I struggled from postpartum depression.
"Struggled," past tense. No.
Since Bee's birth, I have been struggling with postpartum depression.
I've become pretty good at hiding it from people outside my close "circle"… meaning basically, anyone other than my husband (my circle is pretty small these days).
It's a selfish thing, depression. But an uncontrollable selfishness – until you're ready to admit the darkness is there, you can't really help it.
Once I admitted there was a problem and started to step back out into the light, I began to realize just how selfish a disease it is. My incredible husband – who had been taking the brunt of all my pain – helped me, guided me, stayed with me… he let me do all the things I needed to do until I was able to call out for help. He knew I would get there eventually, but through all the hard times… he saw me at my worst. And had to deal with it on his own. Had to process that he had a wife who was going through this awfulness, and had to wait it out until I was ready.
Ready to start to try and come back.
It's been a process, that's for sure. With the help of professionals and various therapeutic techniques – techniques I can utilize after Pelé arrives – I feel a lot more like myself than I have in many, many months.
Thankfully – luckily – I never had any thoughts of harming Bee. Even in my deepest, darkest hours, it never crossed my mind to punish her in any way.
But in those hours, when things are bleak and your body is numb and raging all at once, that's when the scary, unpredictable thoughts creep in. Thoughts of harming myself. Of wondering if everyone would just be better off if I just wasn't around….
I don't have those thoughts anymore. They're all gone, with most of the darkness – but like I said, it's a process.
Today, I was lost in the thought that he felt he couldn't go any further. He had to end the pain and the fear. And I'm consumed by the thought that his poor family, who watched him struggle and suffer and bounce in and out of those dark hours for years, don't have him to laugh with anymore.
The world doesn't have him to laugh with anymore.
I just… feel so sad. Sad that he ended it all.
I didn't know what to do today, to shake these thoughts from my mind. So, I did what I normally do when I need to refocus: I did shit. I just did shit around the house that needed to be done, that I found worth in and that made me smile.
I washed a whole bunch of baby clothes and folded them nicely, now ready to be put in the IKEA dresser (once it's built…eeep).
I did a bit of rearranging, and felt really good about it all.
I listened to music and sang and danced around, and slowly, all the thoughts – Robin Williams, depression, darkness, sadness – left my mind.
But… Robin Williams is gone.
This horrible, killer of a disease took him. From his family, his friends, his fans.
I hope, more than anything, that his family can find solace somehow in knowing his pain, his struggles, his demons are gone. And that they can go forward, not thinking about the times they had to watch him suffer, but basking in the laughter and love he brought to them and millions of people around the world.
And I pray to all the Gods that he is at peace where he is.
And tonight, as Bee sleeps soundly, I'm going to revel in my peace, too.
…and probably eat a cookie or two.
"'Dear Stuart', Writes Beth."
My last #ThrowbackThursday post was about a letter my husband and I received from a stranger years ago, observing how much we were in love and thanking us for reminding her of what that's like.
It's a story that is incredibly close to our hearts, and for a long time I didn't want to share it with anyone, let alone everyone who would stumble across it in Blogland. We told family and close friends, but really wanted to keep it just for us.
I'd been thinking about that letter a lot over the last few months, about how every time I pull it out of the box and read it, I'm overwhelmed with, as the writer says, "such depth of emotion", that I finally decided it was time to tell it to the world so others could find the magic in it, too.
But before I posted it those few weeks back, before I threw open the floodgates of that memory and hit "Publish", I told one other person outside of our circle. One other person, who I thought would appreciate it as much as we did.
That person was Stuart McLean.
I've been listening to his CBC program, The Vinyl Cafe, on-and-off for years. I remember listening to it on the floor of my parent's living room, lying next to the speakers and laughing along to the Dave and Morley stories with my father. The two of us even went to his Christmas Concert one year and got to hear Stuart, live and in person, tell the famous "Dave & The Turkey" tale.
I didn't listen much during my vagabond years, if at all… but then again I didn't have time for much, other than travelling and eating and drinking my way around the globe. Radio and television weren't a necessity, so they fell to the side.
When I settled back in Toronto though, and especially after having Bee, I began to tune in religiously again. I'd spend lazy afternoons cooking, wearing Bee in the Ergo and listening to Stuart on the radio. It quickly became my favourite routine, and I still find time to enjoy the tradition at least one evening a week.
Stuart writes how I want to write. And he tells stories the way I hope to tell stories one day. His voice is calming and engaging, always sounding like an old friend. In fact, that's just how I think of him, as a friend.
One afternoon in January, I sent the email in as a submission for the Story Exchange – a segment on the program where listeners write in with their stories – thinking it was a long shot it would get read at all, let alone on the radio. But something compelled me to send it anyway – maybe putting it out in the universe would give me the courage to finally post it on the blog, which I eventually did.
So imagine my surprise when in late-January, I received this email from Louise Curtis, producer of the Vinyl Cafe:
Dear Beth,
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful story with us. We all loved it!
We will certainly do our best to find a spot for it on the show and we will let you know in advance if it will be heard on air.
That show will air the weekend of April 26th. I hope you are able to tune in at one of the following times:
- Saturdays at 9:05 AM across Canada (Radio Two)
- Sundays at 12:05 PM across Canada (Radio One)
- Tuesdays at 11:05 PM across Canada (Radio One)
It's such a great story. I hope you enjoy hearing it on national radio!
This is one of the greatest achievements of my life, hands down. After decades of listening to Stuart tell everyone else's stories, he is now going to tell mine.
I'm going to hear him bring the story to life with his voice – the way I imagined him reading it when I wrote it.
Stuart McLean is going to read our story, about the woman with the perfect silver hair and the letter she wrote us, on the radio.
And I wanted to share the news with all of you, so you can hear him read it, too.
HERE is the link to the Vinyl Cafe podcasts, and as Louise wrote in the email above, the times this weekend are:
- Saturday, April 26 at 9:05 AM across Canada (Radio Two)
- Sunday, April 27 at 12:05 PM across Canada (Radio One)
- Tuesday, April 29 at 11:05 PM across Canada (Radio One)
I hope you can tune in. I certainly will.

Mother's Day is coming up this weekend, so the airwaves are thick with commercials for greeting cards, department and jewelry stores, and flower delivery services all urging us to honor our mothers.
Much attention was paid a few weeks ago to one such ad, an American Greetings spot, in which a supposed job interviewer described for unsuspecting job candidates "the world's toughest job." They'd work 135-plus hours a week without a break, he said, before listing more overwhelming duties and then finally revealing to the drop-jawed job candidates what the gig was: being a mom. Send your own mom a card, the company suggested, she just wants your appreciation.
Fair enough, in theory. Being a mother is an incredibly demanding role, and thanks are always welcome. But it's time we muster more than just appreciation for our nation's 85 million moms. Cards and calls are touching, but you want to know what mom also wants?
She wants to get paid the same as a man for doing the same work. She wants the right to join a union, because she knows unions lift the wages of all workers. She wants safe, nurturing child care that doesn't eat up most of her day's wages. She wants to be able to take a sick day when she or her child is ill, without fear of losing her job, and paid parenting leave if she gets pregnant.
Now that she has quality, affordable health care for her children under the Affordable Care Act, she'd like the right-wing controlled House of Representatives to stop voting 50 times, unsuccessfully, to take it away. She'd also like politicians to stop barging their way into her doctor's office and declaring what's best for her body.
If she's the mom of school-age children, she wants to know they are safe when she sends them to school every day. If she's the mom of college-bound students, she wants them to get a sound education that won't be followed by a lifetime of debt. If she's a retired mom, she'd like a secure pension so she can pay for her prescriptions and groceries without anxiety and maybe even hop on a bus or plane to visit her grandchildren once in a while.
If she's a mom who's struggling to provide for her family, she wants an increased minimum wage, and for Congress to strengthen Medicaid and infant and child nutrition programs, not peddle budgets that slash them by billions to score cheap political points. Send mom a card, sure, but then send an email to politicians like Rep. Paul Ryan -- the architect of this scorched-earth budget -- asking what they could possibly be thinking with such attacks.
Finally, the moms of America want respect. Sadly, it's sometimes in short supply. I've been there, as a single mother who struggled to provide for my family in the face of considerable challenges, including a child with special needs, and it often seemed folks were more interested in offering me opinions and judgment than substantive solutions. Today, working moms in particular face a barrage of judgment, promoted by those with clear anti-worker, anti-women's rights agendas and bottomless funding.
Take Fox News, which last week ran a segment slyly asking the question, "Are female breadwinners a problem?" At a time when women are the primary breadwinners in 40 percent of U.S. households -- including plenty of households that fall below the poverty line -- one wonders what Fox would have those women do so as not to risk being problematic. Go broke? Rely solely on the same social programs that Fox pundits are so fond of bashing?
When Fox host Clayton Morris wondered if there wasn't "some sort of biological, innate need for men to be the caveman?" it was clear the network that isn't so hot on the science of climate change isn't excelling at biology either. This is also becoming an annual Mother's Day tradition for Fox, where last May, then-host Lou Dobbs and his male colleagues lamented that female breadwinners were evidence of "society dissolve[ing] around us."
We moms are used to temper tantrums and irrational behavior. We get it from our kids, we get it from elected officials and we get it from the right-wing media. (At least one of those groups will grow out of it, we tell ourselves.) That doesn't mean we're going to put up with it.
The women of our union, AFSCME, are coming together and demanding better wages for all workers, more resources for the communities we serve, the right to join a union, and retirement security. We're supporting House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's economic agenda for women and families. We're joining with other moms and allies to demand comprehensive immigration reform that keeps families together and boosts our nation's economy. We are gearing up to be a force in the 2014 midterm elections, voting for the candidates who support workers and the middle class, no matter their political party.
We know that our issues are at the heart of how we support working families in America and how we must strengthen our nation's fragile economic health. So this Sunday, we'll welcome the thanks, the hugs and the cards. But come Monday, we'll wake up as determined as ever to make the "world's hardest job" easier for all moms.

Corbus Pharmaceuticals is a Phase 3 clinical stage pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of novel therapeutics to treat rare, chronic, and serious inflammatory and fibrotic diseases.
Lupus is an autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation of different tissues of the body. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a subset of lupus in which the immune system makes antibodies to cells in the body, leading to widespread inflammation and tissue damage. SLE occurs more often in women of child bearing age. According to the CDC, SLE affects between 161,000 - 322,000 people in the United States and about 500,000 people worldwide.
SLE has many manifestations, including arthritis, rash, photosensitivity, oral ulcers, pleuritis, pericarditis, kidney problems, seizures and psychosis and blood cell abnormalities. The musculoskeletal system is the most commonly involved system in SLE. The pathology of SLE involves chronic activation of the innate immune system by immune complexes, with activation of complement, increased production of type 1 interferons and other mediators of inflammation and resultant tissue inflammation and cumulative organ damage. Patients with SLE have an increased frequency of related autoimmune problems, such as Sjogren's syndrome and antiphospholipid syndrome that require additional treatments.
SLE may occur with other autoimmune conditions, such as thyroiditis, hemolytic anemia, and idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura. Accelerated atherosclerosis, infections, and active disease are responsible for premature mortality among SLE patients. Drugs specifically approved by the FDA for treatment of SLE are aspirin, corticosteroids, hydroxychloroquine and belimumab. Physicians commonly treat disease manifestations with immunosuppressive therapies that have significant toxicities.

Valentine's Day is getting closer. It is the first big holiday after Christmas and a great chance to get some thoughtful presents. Then, why do so many women dread and loathe the day? Probably, everyone asking if you have got a date (when you do not) is not helping. However, let us look at Valentine's under a different light . If Valentine's becomes a day to celebrate love (not only being part of a couple), it gets a whole new meaning.
Look around and you will see loved ones and people who adore you all around. Look at the mirror and glare at the person you love the most, that is, yourself . Why should you wait to have a boyfriend to receive a grand surprise? Treat yourself! For this year, no flowers, no candy, chocolate or cards. No, thank you. All we want for Valentine's Day is… jewellery. No better way of rewarding your worth.
PS. If you do have a boyfriend send him the following wishlist.

Data Footprints
Since the dawn of time until the year 2013, humans have generated data that is almost five billion gigabytes. Surprisingly, the same amount of data are produced only within two days, and in the coming year, this amount is expected to be accumulated every ten minutes. This only signifies that as time passes by, higher amount of data are produced. Every individual and generation is said to be part of leaving digital footprint.
What Does Digital Footprint Mean?
Digital footprint is a particular term that denotes the sum of the behaviors and the activities that are recorded as entities such as individuals interacting in a given digital environment. This is also defined as the data trail that interactions left behind. Digital footprints cover a wide scope and this plays significant role as far as data footprints are concerned.
About 75% of the information produced in the digital universe is generated by millenials, generation X and boomers. In the case of Millenials, statistics are divided by age brackets of 18 to 29n years old but not greater than 34 years old. In Generation X, it is divided by 30 to 49 years old but not more than 35 to 34 and ages 50 to 64 but not more than 65 in the case of boomers.
Video Viewing
Millenials got the least number of videos viewed per month wherein about 110 hours and 18 minutes are consumed, while Generation X views more videos every month spending 145 hours and 3 minutes. The boomers got the highest number of videos viewed per month wherein 193 hours and 18 minutes are spent. These videos are all featured on traditional television. The number of videos viewed and hours spent watching the videos vary depending on the platform used.
The time spent by millenials watching video on other television and video platform like online video, mobile video and timeshifted television is 23 hours and 25 minutes. In the case of Generation X 14 hours and 3 minutes are consumed and in Boomers 19 hours and 9 minutes are spent watching videos.
Internet Usage
The power of internet has become famous and widespread as many individuals are using the internet for various purposes. About 94% of millennials utilizes the internet wherein 76% got broadband access at home, 88% are connected wirelessly and 42% uses smartphone as their primary means of going online. The percentage of internet usage of Generation X is 87% wherein 70% of this entire count got broadband access at home, 76%b are connected wirelessly away from their houses and 21% use smartphone to go online. About 70% of boomers utilize the net and 60% of this count got broadband access, 563% is connected wirelessly and the remaining 10% uses smartphone when going online.
Every generation is lucky enough to access the worldwide web with the help of connected devices. Particular percentage of millenials, Generation X and boomers own desktop computers, laptop, tablet, e-reader, iPad, Android, and Smartphone. These devices are mainly used in accessing the internet, producing data, and all other online purposes.

PUBLIC health officials, who were caught off guard last fall by an unusually early arrival of the flu season, are urging people to get their annual flu shots now, if they have not already done so. They point out that it takes about two weeks for the vaccine to be fully protective against infection by the influenza virus.
While influenza itself is usually not fatal, its complications can be, making it the nation's sixth leading cause of death.
There is no way to predict exactly when the 1992-93 flu season will begin, but by this time last year the flu epidemic was already well under way and hospitals soon became flooded with patients who developed life-threatening complications. A study by researchers at the University of Michigan School of Public Health showed that the vaccine can reduce hospitalizations for pneumonia among the elderly by at least 45 percent.
Those who should be protected by the vaccine include everyone 65 years old and older, people in nursing homes and anyone who has a chronic heart or lung condition or weakened immunological defenses, like those with H.I.V. infection or AIDS and people undergoing chemotherapy that suppresses the immune response. The vaccine is perfectly safe for younger, healthy people.
Because last year's outbreak caused a rush for the vaccine and exhausted supplies in some areas before the demand was met, vaccine manufacturers have greatly increased production this year, from 32 million doses to 50 million doses. However, people who got free vaccine under a Medicare experiment for the last several years will have to pay for it this year.Continue reading the main story
The Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, which monitors infectious diseases nationwide, expects that a variant of the so-called Taiwan flu strain, known as A-Texas, will predominate this year, with Beijing flu, the type-A virus that was last season's major culprit, taking a back seat. Therefore, the A-Texas and Beijing strains, along with the type B flu strain known as Panama, are included in this season's vaccine. Diet Versus Cancer
People who eat more vegetables, fruits and high-fiber grains appear to reduce their risk of contracting fatal colon cancer, according to a study being published today in The Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
The study, based on a survey of 764,343 American adults, found that those who ate a variety of vegetables, citrus fruits and high-fiber grains like bran, oatmeal and whole wheat and who used aspirin regularly ran a much lower risk of fatal cancer. Women who ate the least of these food types and did not use aspirin were 2.9 times as likely to die of colon cancer as those who ate more vegetables and grains, and comparable men were 2.5 times as likely to die.
Dr. Michael Thun, director of analytical epidemiology for the American Cancer Society and lead author of the article, said the study backed up current dietary recommendations from the cancer society and various Government agencies.
The study supported the conclusions of a 1991 article in The New England Journal of Medicine in which Dr. Thun argued that regular use -- 16 or more times a month -- of aspirin or related drugs also helped reduce risk of colon cancer.
Colon cancer will be diagnosed in about 111,000 Americans this year, and about 51,000 will die from the disease this year, according to the American Cancer Society.
Today's article is one of a series based on a survey conducted in 1982. Volunteers have since checked on the more than one million participants and noted causes of death. Of the 764,343 people studied for the colon cancer research, 1,150 died from colon cancer from 1982 to 1988.
The researchers from the Emory University School of Public Health, the Center for Disease Control and the International Agency for Research on Cancer as well as the American Cancer Society, have not been able to study incidence of colon cancer among the survey participants, only deaths.
The original questionnaire did not ask people how many servings of each type of food they ate each day, only how many days a week they ate that food. Dr. Thun said the group was planning a follow-up survey of 160,000 couples in 21 states, seeking more detailed information about diet and habits.
Surprisingly, the group found no correlation between consumption of red meat and colon cancer, findings that run counter to a major study of nurses published in 1990. Dr. Thun said only further research would determine why these two large samples produced such different results on this point.Continue reading the main story

Here we go again. The Orioles are pursuing Jack McDowell, pursuing Andy Benes, pursuing Will Clark and Rafael Palmeiro. But even with new owner Peter Angelos ready to splurge, they might go 0-for-4.
The prospect is frightening, especially if McDowell and Benes wind up with AL East rivals. It's maddening, too, when you come to realize that money alone can't solve the Orioles' problems.
The free-agent class isn't good enough to guarantee that the club can sign an impact player. And the farm system isn't deep enough to provide a surplus of prospects for major trades.

There is an old saying that time is money. Perhaps nowhere does this statement ring truer than in modern development environments. At its core, software development is an effort to automate business processes. The assumption is therefore that the resulting software will yield tangible business value.If software development really is being done in an effort to provide business value, then it stands to reason that it is in an organization's best interest to complete each development project in as little time as possible. After all, there is a direct cost associated with software development. Since much of this cost is tied to labor, then reducing the amount of time that it takes to develop an application has a direct impact on the application's total cost to produce. Furthermore, if the application is to provide business value, then the faster the application can be developed, the more quickly the business value can be derived from the application.
Because it is clearly in an organization's best interest to develop applications quickly, then it makes sense for an organization to look for ways to optimize the development process in an effort to reduce costs, and achieve the desired result more quickly.
One of the ways many organizations are optimizing their development costs is through the use of containers and microservices. The basic idea behind this is simple. Very often, development efforts do not start from scratch. A project might, for example, involve making a modification to an existing application. Even if an entirely new application is being created, there may be sections of code that can be borrowed from an existing application, rather than recreating code that already exists.
In the rest of this article, we'll take a look at two specific ways in which containers can help save money: first, through the adoption of microservices, and second, by creating an optimized base image.
Microservices and money
By using containers and microservices, an organization can break a large, monolithic application down into small individual pieces. This approach makes it easy to maintain, modify, or reuse code. After all, it is far easier to work with a small piece of an application than to work with the application as a whole.
The use of containers and microservices has the potential to streamline development efforts, while also reducing costs. Even so, there is a big difference between adopting a microservice and container-oriented approach to software development, and optimizing the overall costs.
Optimizing base images
One of the best ways to optimize the development cost of a containerized application is to spend some time optimizing the base image. As you are no doubt aware, containers do not usually contain a full OS kernel. Instead, containers share a common base image, which acts as the OS kernel for the code running within the containers.
One common mistake that is often made by those who are new to containers is downloading or creating a general-purpose base image. Ideally, a base image should contain only those elements that are needed by the containerized code. In fact, there have been documented instances of companies creating highly optimized Linux base instances that are less than 20 MB in size.
There are several advantages to using a base image that contains only those elements required to support the containerized application. For starters, such images have a much smaller footprint than a general-purpose base image. This means that the image has a smaller attack surface, and may also provide better performance than a larger image might.
It generally also costs less to host a smaller base image than to host a larger image. This can be especially true for containers running in a public cloud, since cloud service providers bill their customers based on the resources that they consume.
Small, highly optimized base images are also likely to require far less maintenance than a general-purpose image. Operating system vendors routinely create patches that address bugs and security vulnerabilities. A small, highly optimized base image is far less likely to need frequent patching than a large general-purpose base image might. Any time that you can do something that reduces the maintenance requirements for a base image, it translates directly into reduced costs.
Another benefit to reducing the size of the base image is that doing so can make it much easier to troubleshoot the containerized application should any problems occur. By eliminating any kernel components that are not essential to the containerized application, you also eliminate the possibility that a non-essential OS component could somehow cause problems for the application.
As you can see, there are two main keys to optimizing the costs associated with your containerized application. First, take a microservices approach to the application so that the developers can focus their efforts where they are really needed, rather than having to focus on an entire monolithic application. Second, create a base image that has been specifically designed for the application, and contains no unnecessary OS components.

Latina beauty sector a power play for suppliers
Latinas tend to over-index on beauty products as, in their opinion, beauty means power and upward mobility, Mintel's senior analyst of multicultural reports, Leylha Ahuile, said during a recent webinar. This is one reason why these 23.6 million beauty mavens are a sweet spot for brands.
"The majority of Latinas take great pride in looking as beautiful as they can, and this is why they over-index in their consumption of many beauty and personal care products," Ahuile said during the June 16 "Marketing to Today's Latina" webinar. "Beauty for both older and newer generation Latina means power and upward mobility," Ahuile added.
However, it is important to note that not all Latinas—which by 2050 will comprise a quarter of the U.S. female population—approach beauty the same way.
According to Mintel's research, English-dominant and bilingual Latinas consume more makeup than those who only speak Spanish, and household income also has a significant impact on makeup consumption. Latinas with a household income of $50,000 to $75,000 consume the most makeup, compared with those of any other income bracket.
While many women tend to use less makeup as they age, that is not the case with Latinas. In fact, Latinas in their 50s and 60s are 20% more likely to consume makeup than non-Latinas in the same age group. Ahuile noted that there seems to be few beauty advertisers targeting the Latinas in this age group.
Another factor that makes Latinas ideal beauty shoppers is that they are not afraid to experiment with makeup. More specifically, Latinas—especially U.S.-born Latinas—love to focus on their eyes and are high users of eye shadow, eyeliner and mascara. And when it comes to lipstick and lip gloss, they are likely to never leave home without it.
"Keep in mind that U.S.-born Latinas are likely to be English-dominant and are more likely to want to see products designed for [them], and [their] media language preferences are beginning to change. All of this impacts [their] product choices and how advertisers should communicate with [them]," Ahuile said.
Ahuile said that there is no one "Latina look" and, given the different skin tones of Latinas, a wide range of products should be developed. "It is not always easy for personal care companies to hone in on the specific needs of the Latina consumer; therefore, a wide range of products need to be developed to meet the needs of Latinas," Ahuile said.
"What was really surprising was the high number (81%) of Latinas who would like to see more personal care products with bilingual packaging," Ahuile added. This strong desire for bilingual packaging is more about being acknowledged and respected by the brand.
Personal Care Products Council supports expanded FDA role in industry oversight
WASHINGTON The Personal Care Products Council announced on July 15 that it is calling for a greater role by the Food and Drug Administration in regulatory oversight of personal care products and assessing ingredient safety.
The announcement came less than a week before the introduction of the Safe Cosmetics Act of 2010 in Congress by Reps. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., Ed Markey, D-Mass., and Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis.
The proposal by the Council represents the culmination of more than three years of planning and research by the cosmetics industry trade group. The Council detailed its proposal in a letter to health policy leaders in Congress.
The Council is seeking to create formal processes for the FDA to review ingredients for safety at the request of the public and stakeholder groups and to review all safety determinations made by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel. No such FDA processes currently exist.
"For decades, the industry has had an impeccable safety record under the existing requirements implemented by the FDA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Our products remain among the safest in the marketplace," stated Lezlee Westine, the Council's president and CEO. "Nonetheless, we believe it is time to develop a more contemporary approach that includes a greater federal regulatory role. In fact, for the last 30 years, we have aggressively implemented numerous safety initiatives and processes to strengthen industry safety practices. Our consumers deserve multiple layers of protection and transparency."
The Council's five-point plan includes mandatory industry reporting and mandatory Good Manufacturing Practices, two provisions currently in HR 759, the FDA Globalization Act of 2009, introduced by Congressman John Dingell, D-Mich., and three additional provisions that industry is seeking. The Council plan includes:
(1) Enhanced FDA Registration. It requires that personal care products manufacturers who market their products in the United States comply with the following:
- Register with FDA all facilities where those products are manufactured.
- File with FDA product ingredient reports disclosing all of the ingredients used in those products; and
- Report to FDA any serious unexpected adverse event with a personal care product experienced by consumers.
(2) New Process to Set Safety Levels for Trace Constituents. When requested or on its own initiative, FDA would be required to establish safe levels for trace constituents in cosmetic ingredients and products; (3) New FDA Ingredient Review Process. Once a request has been made, or FDA unilaterally determines action is warranted, the agency would be required to review the safety of any ingredient intended for use in a personal care product and set safety use levels for such ingredient on a specified timetable; (4) New FDA Oversight of CIR Findings. FDA would be required to review current and future findings on the safety of cosmetic ingredients by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel and determine if these findings are correct. If there are instances in which it determines a CIR finding is not correct, FDA would determine by guidance or regulations if, or under what conditions, the ingredient can be used safely in personal care products; (5) FDA-Issued Good Manufacturing Practices. FDA would establish industry-wide "Good Manufacturing Practices" requirements.
As mentioned earlier, the move came days prior to the July 21 introduction of the Safe Cosmetics Act of 2010 (HR 5786) in Congress, which, in a similar vein, aims to give the FDA authority to ensure that personal care products are free of harmful ingredients.
According to the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, major provisions of this proposed legislation would:
- Phase out ingredients linked to cancer, birth defects and developmental harm
- Create a health-based safety standard that includes protections for children, the elderly, workers and other vulnerable populations
- Requiring full ingredient disclosure, including the constituent ingredients of fragrance and salon products, on product labels and company websites
- Give workers access to information about unsafe chemicals in personal care products
- Require data sharing to avoid duplicative testing and encourage the development of alternatives to animal testing
- Provide adequate funding the FDA Office of Cosmetics and Colors so it has the resources to provide effective oversight
- Level the playing field for small businesses.
