Love, love, loving these polishes
A sneak peek: shoes to lust over, polishes ditto. At a PR preview for 2010's beauty must-haves, we discovered these swoonworthy polishes, created to match Georgina Goodman's 'Love' shoes. (And we all do love shoes...) Think: sparkling indigo or a fabulous flesh-tone, which looks very sexy indeed on tanned feet. We predict both shades will be hot, hot, hot once the weather gets - well, hot...

Look out for our Awards stickers!
A few weeks ago we hosted our very first Beauty Bible Awards - and many of the brands featured in our books are now helping beauty-hounds take a short-cut to the products our testers loved, by splashing pink Beauty Bible Awards stickers on the winning lotions and potions, powders and paints. We spotted this from Organic Surge, in Boots, flagging up their Beauty Steals... (If you click on the picture you'll see the stickers better!)

Full of the joys of a Chanel spring
Pretty, pretty, pretty. Previewed on gorgeous mood boards at Chanel's spring-summer open day: all their sherbet-y, ultra-wearable shades for next year, from a collection called Les Impressions de Chanel. The soft, neutral palette really is like an Impressionist painting and Beauty Bible particularly swooned over a liquid illuminating highlighter (Soleil Tan de Chanel Sheer Illuminating Fluid) which gives a soft, sun-kissed glow, and the string-of-pearls temporary tattoos (alas, those were for the catwalk show only. But worth trying to recreate at home with an eyeliner!) On these dark, gloomy, windswept, sodden days, it's good to feel like spring is around the corner. Can't wait to get our hands on this collection, early in 2010. Counting the days, actually…
Wild man of beauty
Alan Mackenzie is a man on a mission: not just to create reasonably-priced natural cosmetics, but also to do good while he's doing business. Creator of Organic Surge (several products feature in Beauty Bible Beauty Steals), his new, slightly more upscale venture is Wild Organics: bath and body care using wild-harvested ingredients from Brazil, Egypt, Croatia – and his native Scotland. Over tea at Providores (keeping up our cake quota), Alan explained the extra feel-good factor from Wild Organics: you get prettily-scented, Ecocert-certified 'smellies' (you can see them demo-ed on QVC), and because a percentage of sales goes to his chosen charity Freedom From Fistula, women in Africa have access to a simple but life-changing operation (we won't go into the slightly gory details in this fluffy pink zone, but you can log onto the website below to find out more…) Our favourite Wild Organics creation, meanwhile? Just loving the Marshmallow Butter Sugar Scrub…

Secret addresses 2: Queen, Dublin
When two beauty editors need to be primped and camera-ready for Ireland's RTE Afternoon Show and Xposé (the must-watch cable network for the wannabe-stylish) to promote Beauty Bible Beauty Steals, where would they turn? To Queen, in the heart of Dublin town. Leonard Daly is the name you want in your Little Black Beauty Address Book: this catwalk and session make-up artist has opened his own fab beautique and hair salon, showcasing the hard-to-find Kevyn Aucoin make-up range (Queen is the only location you can now find it, on this side of the storm-whipped Atlantic) and Planet skincare, among other ranges. We especially fell in love with Bog Standard: the hilariously-named all-Irish capsule collection of fresh-scented hand washes and lotions, with fragrances like Irish Mist, Irish Linen and Irish Moss. And BIG thanks to Leonard and his ace stylists for coming in to primp us on their day off…! (That explains why Leonard's in his tracksuit!)

Secret Addresses: Kazumi, Dublin
Without a personal recommendation, finding a salon in a strange city can be like pinning a (pony)tail on a donkey. So Beauty Bible was grateful to a Dublin insider (the lovely Sophie Flynn-Rogers) for pointing us in the direction of this chic salon, in a bow-windowed townhouse just off Grafton Street. Stocking both Shu Uemura and (our favourite) Kérastase, the stylists are fast, the back-wash heavenly (we do love a vibrating reclining seat), and – like all hairstylists – they're a fount of insider wisdom about where to go and what's cool in their home town. (A great, shiny blow-dry, too, from Jacqui). And with Dublin suffering in the downtown, Kazumi some clever budget-friendly ideas, including an 'In-Between Colour Check-Up': a 'colour boost', hairline or parting touch-up, for 40-50 euros, to tide you over the next few weeks before a major colour splurge.

Beauty treatments to try before you die No. 2: an Emma Hardie facial
Ever fancied getting your face 'ironed'? Emma Hardie's your woman. Now, this isn't a facial if you like layers of masks and wafty aromatherapy oils: this is the real, re-sculpting deal (and as such, pretty flipping brilliant for this time of year, as the mistletoe season looms). Here's Emma – a darned good advertisement for her own skills – at The Hale Clinic, in London (where she regularly practices when in London), and where she recently demo-ed her 'Sculpting Face Lift' massage technique to us. It's not sensual. It's not even pleasurable, at times, as she works her magic on the underlying muscles, but the results are next-best-thing-to-Botox that Beauty Bible's tried. (And actually, we don't do Botox. List of reasons too long to feature here.) If you can't book in for a one-on-face-firming-one with Emma, might like to know she's offering Face Facts Workshops at Space NK Apothecary (for a £20 fee redeemable against purchase from the Emma Hardie Amazing Face skincare range, now on sale there). Be there. Or be – well, droopy.

Clinique – in a New York minute
We've had 'fast food'. Get ready for 'fast beauty'. Beauty Bible was in New York recently, where any I-want-it-now beauty-hound can have her heart's Clinique desires filled – in a New York minute. For instance: give your order to one of the assistants wearing a Madonna-style microphone, and your products will be in your hands within 60 seconds. (It's a promise.) Use one of these 'browsing baskets', meanwhile (seen here with lovely Lynne Green, who heads Clinique worldwide), and the consultants will just plain leave you alone. (And don't we all wish for that sometime…?) Clinique's old-style 'abacus' is still around – but the technology's been eclipsed with this real computer, which gives you a skincare prescription print-out. But most of all, we like the 'Foundation bar': foolproof display of shades, textures, coverage – all there, for simple at-a-glance selection. (Find something similar at Selfridges' gleamingly gorgeous new Clinique counter, on this side of the pond. No walkie-talkies, though. Guess we're still just too l-a-i-d b-a-c-k, compared to the average Manhattanite…

And the winners were…
Last night was a bit of a landmark for Beauty Bible. We hosted our first-ever Beauty Bible Awards, at One Alfred Place in London, recognising the brands who've put on stellar performances in our books The Green Beauty Bible (paperback) and Beauty Bible Beauty Steals, which is just hitting the bookstores now. There was no Rocky-style music, no flashing light show, no stage – and we didn't allow the recipients of their award to make Gwyneth Paltrow-style thank-you speeches (or even open their mouths except to smile for the cameras, actually!) From now on, look out for Beauty Bible Award stickers on products, banners in-store and symbols appearing on websites for products that have put on stellar performances in our books, as judged by our diligent testers. (Congratulations to A'kin, who are first off the mark with Beauty Bible Awards stickers, which you can look for on their Unscented Hand, Nail & Cuticle Treatment.) And here we are with John Frieda, whose haircare brand won more awards than any other, in Beauty Steals… Congratulations to John, and all the other worthy award-winners. When our testers love your products, we know it really is something to shout about…

Soap scoop
Sabon is a New York beauty emporium with several 'shabby chic' branches (this one's on Prince, in SoHo), where as a prelude to a mooch around you're encouraged to wash your hands with a salty scrub in a beautiful multi-spigoted 'font'. (Nice touch, in a grubby city like Manhattan.) A good place to shop for beauty presents that aren't available in the UK, and we're pleased (as wannabe-natural beauty babes ourselves) to discover their newest range is Ecocert-certified organic; the ultra-rich $15 foot cream is almost a must-have in a city where you can notch up miles and miles on your feet just getting from A to interesting B.

Masters of the (organic) universe
In New York, where would the authors of The Green Beauty Bible go for a 'do'? To John Masters, of course: the Sullivan Street salon of the pioneering natural hair 'guru' whose signature line (now organically-certified) has always done well with our testers. The salon itself is beautiful: old Indian and Moroccan doors, transformed into mirrors; shelves hewn from chunks of wood; a little garden out back to take refuge from the Manhattan madness. Jo had a shiatsu hair treatment: an ultra-rich mask, with an a-m-a-z-i-n-g 15-minute pressure-point scalp massage with a hair treatment (enriched with jasmine and cedarwood oils), leaving her hair sensationally strong, shiny, swingy. And John (pictured here with his somewhat camera-shy dog Maya) let us in on a little secret: he's working on an all-natural haircolouring line which will, yes, cover grey – and should launch late next year. Stay tuned.
Beauty Bible blogtip – from John Masters: 'You can custom-blend a deep hair treatment for use once a month or so by mixing together different intensive hair masks. You can even mash an avocado in there, then add a few drops of essential oil. Apply generously: when it comes to masks like this, more is more! Leave on for as long as you can before shampooing and conditioning.'

Made in Australia (and made of Australia)
Mineral make-up dynamo Miranda Bond – creator of the Inika range (which our testers for The Green Beauty Bible really liked) - swept into London recently to show off some of her latest creations, whisking through town as speedily as a kabuki brush over a supermodel's cheek. When she unveiled the new Inika launches (say it 'In-eek-a'), our immediate thought was: baby, has natural make-up come a long way. Miranda always boasts that Inika's 'made OF Australia' – because the pure pigments are mined in the brand's home territory. But now Inika has expanded to include some truly sophisticated textures and finishes that rival 'conventional' make-up. (Oh, and the packaging's been sexed-up, too – a sort of velvety-finish black, so that the whole range now feels very eco-luxe). Beauty Bible is especially loving the Certified Organic Pure Primer – the perfect canvas for mineral make-up, and looking forward to next year's launch of a foundation which in our opinion is the best all-natural option we've seen. So if you ask us, Inika rocks. (In every way.)
Beauty Bible Blogtip from Miranda Bond: 'Mineral make-up is fantastic for evening out skintone – but if you have broken veins or a spot, instead of continuing to layer on the make-up with a brush, take your finger, dip it in the mineral powder and press onto the imperfection. It works like concealer.'

Ark sets sail…
We're not quite sure why Ark (which already has three salons in West London) has failed to get on our beauty radar till now, but the new sleek white location in Kensington High Street has changed all that. The concept: three targeted 'generations' of skincare (whose 'faces' are actually the founder, Shula Starkey, plus her twentysomething younger sister and her Mum). Simple and no-nonsense (you can forget harsh scrubs or bamboozling hype), there are just four products in each capsule Ark collection – plus targeted SkinResponse serums (think: Antioxidant, Radiance, Anti-Redness, for additional problem-solving. The range has been created with input from naturopath and stress expert Dr. Penny Kendall-Reed alongside Reiki Master Shula herself – and their 'holistic' thinking shaped the Ark treatment philosophy, too, which is blown up on a mirror above the staircase leading to the two subterranean treatment rooms: 'We believe in the wellbeing of our clients, encouraging them to develop their natural health and beauty. Our professional treatments and products take a holistic and hygienic approach ensuring service and excellence in all we do.'

Clarins goes organic…
Well, not exactly – but their new Ecocert-certified soap has got us in quite a lather of excitement, and you've got to start somewhere. It smells Clarins-ishly botanical, and (we are assured) the fragrance lasts till the very end of the hefty bar. We'll have to take their word for this as it'll probably take us until at least the official launch date – February next year – to finish ours! (Might have to create a Tried & Tested Soap category for Beauty Bible now, just so we can put it through its paces properly.) NB: it's good for bodies, but also – those of you who can't kick your soap-and-water habit - for faces. Here, the Clarins soap 'stars' in a new line-up of goodies unveiled to us by Clarins babes Jini Sanassy and Alexandrea Daniel – including a long-lasting foundation that we're very impressed by indeed. And – zut alors! – you'll see that Clarins's make-up packaging has also been given a long-overdue makeover: sleek, silver and so much sexier.

Talking 'bout an Evolution…
Laura Rudoe has two babies. One is Oliver, 18 weeks (being flashed by Laura proudly here on her phone). The other is Evolve, which has had a year's gestation: an Ecocert-certified, reasonably-priced organic beauty brand that is just being unveiled in John Lewis and on Ocado. (Nothing's over fifteen quid and most items are priced at £9.99.) Laura – who previously worked on the Nude brand – has come up with a capsule collection of botanical skincare essentials, and Beauty Bible is especially taken with the packaging (created from recycled milk bottles), which sets a new standard while not compromising on chic. Pretty smells and nice textures, too. (And as for performance, we'll be sending some of Evolve's 'hero' products to our Tried & Tested panellists. So stay tuned.)

Brighter Lights, Big City
To Daniel Galvin's übersalon, where colouring 'star' Louise Galvin (from the hairdressing dynasty) gave us a sneak preview of her new highlight-reviver, Sacred Locks Vitox (coming soon to her website, www.louisegalvin.com). If you've got streaks or are all-over 'bottle' blonde, you'll know how hard it is to maintain that brightness – but we're pretty impressed by the answer Louise has come up with, after she demo-ed it on Jo. Almost pure vitamins, Vitox is a powder and a liquid which you mix together, then apply the frothing mixture to dry and leave for three minutes. Wash and condition as normal, and hey, presto! Hair really is super-duper-shiny, with lights as fresh and bright as when you first strolled out of the salon. It's also genius, apparently, for getting rid of post-summer-holiday green 'pool hair'. Think of it as the hair equivalent of Berocca or Emergen-C…

PS All about Eve...
Stepping outside Daniel Galvin's salon with her bombshell blonde 'do' , Jo literally bumped into superfacialist and Marylebone local Eve Lom, sporting a hand bandage: 12 painful stitches, from a washing-up-related accident. Hope she's got those precious healing hands insured for a fortune…! Beauty Bible says: get well soon, Eve…

Rendez-Vous with Bourjois
Bourjois's little round pot blushers have been dotted prettily onto cheeks since 1863. Women still love them. (Not least testers for our next book, Beauty Steals, in which both the blusher pots and eyeshadow pots star.) But have they ever been quite this covetable before? Over cappuccino with Bourjois's Lesley Chilvers (yes, in this job your liquid intake goes right off the caffeine-o-meter), she unveiled these limited edition versions daintily decorated with whimsical illustrations by Natalie Lété, a renowned Parisian illustrator. The Rendez-Vous a Paris collection will be at www.asos.com - and at Beauty Bible, where (we're chuffed to announce), we'll have 10 sets exclusively for 'insiders' like you to win. Watch this (pink) space.

Go ape for Trilogy
We're all for beauty giving back. So: nice to hear (when catching up with Trilogy founder Sarah Gibbs over a coffee éclair) that the New Zealand-based beauty brand is getting firmly behind the campaign to save Borneo's orangutans, many of which are being displaced by rampant palm oil development, and either killed or imprisoned in cages. (The palm oil is often used by the cosmetics industry.) It seems incredible that this extraordinary animal is truly at risk of extinction, but it's really happening. So: special packs of Trilogy's certified 100% rosehip oil will soon go on sale from which a chunky $1 donation will go to the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation. Look out for the boxes, which feature the cutest baby orangutan ever to grace a cosmetic bottle. (Actually, he or she is very adorable indeed.) For more info, visit www.trilogyproducts.com. Oh, and by the way: three Trilogy products – Cream Cleanser, Eye Contour Cream and the utterly fab Botanical Body Wash – are Green Beauty Bible Award-winners, celebrated in the new paperback edition of our book, just hitting the bookshops now. (Would have been sooner but there was a strike at the printer - grrrrrr!) So: three cheers for Trilogy!

Green with envy...
Beauty Bible has never quite experienced a phenomenon like Chanel's Jade nail polish. To wit: when Jo went along for a manicure yesterday with Sophy Robson (the nail 'superstar Jo actually 'discovered' at New York Nails nine years ago), who could have imagined the effect it would have on perfect strangers - who stopped her in the street to say, 'Omigod is that Chanel Jade?', with a sort-of-scratch-your-eyes-out expression...! With its just-like-a-piece-of-jade colour, the varnish has a waiting list as long as your arm (at Chanel boutiques and Selfridges' counter). Jo is modelling Jade here together with a 'hand ring' (er, obviously for Chanel devotees who don't have to stoop to typing for a living), from this season's gorgeous, white-ruffled Chanel fashion collection. (Lust doesn't begin to describe our feeling for the clothes - which will alas remain unrequited...) What especially thrills Jo, though, are the truly, exclusive, not-available-to-the-public tiny double-C gold logos which Sophy embedded in Jo's littlest fingernails - and which she is SO going to be carefully rescuing and reusing!
Beauty Bible Blogtip - from Sophy Robson (pictured here peeking through the mannequins): 'If you want to strengthen your nails, use a nail hardener for no more than a week, then stop, otherwise they just become brittle. But most importantly make a habit of massaging oil into your nails twice a day - not just while using the hardener, but always: keep a bottle somewhere handy - on your desk or on your bedside table - and massage it into your nail zone morning and night. It only takes a minute yet not only stops cuticles splitting and hangnails; it also penetrates the nails to stop them dehydrating, flaking and splitting.'

Paint 'em, cowgirl!
There is the minimalist spa trend. And there is the Oriental spa trend. So it's a breath of fresh (farmyard?) air to see Cowshed Carnaby's interior décor. Basically, if E. Annie Prouxl decorated a beauty salon we think it would look like this – but actually, the 'Brokeback Spa Chic' works: the barn-plank walls, distressed paintwork and 'nail polish crates' contrast with squishy towels, inviting massage couches and super-comfy manicure stations (as demo-ed by über-groomed Cowshed PR Jo Fox-Tutchener, here - who we doubt owns a pair of dungarees…) Cleverly, the seven-day-a-week treatment menu for the range (which follows in the footsteps of the original Cowshed Spa at Babington House) features lots of super-speedy options including what they promise is 'painless waxing' by Amie Jones, as well as the chance to have two therapists work on you multi-taskingly at once. Ideal for when a girl's gotta get back to watchin' them cows, real quick. (Or, rather more mundanely, her computer screen.)
Cowshed Carnaby, 31 Fouberts Place, London W1D 7QG/020-7534 0870
Beauty Bible Blogtip - picked up from Cowshed's nail pros: 'Keep a manicure perfect by adding a topcoat every other day - but use the topcoat to "seal the tips", don't just paint the top of the nail. And for super-smooth results, always apply two coats of base to toenails…'

Lipstick limos!
Well, taxis, actually. But London beauty-hounds can scan the capital's streets for two white cabs emblazoned with luscious lipsticks, to coincide with the opening of Clinique's snazzy new department in the revamped Selfridges Beauty Hall (for more news, watch this space). What are you supposed to give the driver when you disembark – a beauty tip…?

The faceless facialist
These hands are insured for a million quid. We wish we could show you the pretty face attached to them, but Tracey Malone is very, very camera-shy. Like it or not, though, Tracey Malone - daughter of the legendary Eileen (who it's whispered used to do facials for the Queen) and sister of global fragrance-empire-builder Jo – is steppinginto the spotlight with Lubatti, the range she has created using formulas handed down by one of the most famous beauticians of all time, Madame Lubatti, to Eileen. (Who then handed them to Tracey.) Lubatti is at Space NK (more than 40 branches, and on-line at www.lubatti.co.uk, where there's a fab gift-wrapping service.). We say: well worth checking out (we especially like the Day & Night Face Gel, as used by Tracey for her amazing, re-contouring facial massage – enjoyed by an ultra-elite clientele which for one blissful hour included a grateful Jo). Tracey's own skin (which alas you can't see here!) is a great advert for Lubatti – but she glugs gallons (well, litres) of water, too, she adds. 'It really does boost skin health,' maintains Tracey. However, she warns: 'If you're not a water-drinker, don't go mad. Add in an extra half-a-glass each day, because going straight from zero to the regulation eight glasses stresses the kidneys.' Another tip? Tracey dilutes pomegranate juice – one third juice to two-thirds water - for an extra antioxidant boost. 'And it's less boring to drink!'

Happy feet (continued)
Oh, lucky us. And lucky you, when you can get your hands (feet?) on the new FitFlop winter boots. We are feeling incredibly privileged that the genius Marcia Kilgore (of FitFlops and Soap & Glory glory) let us have the first two pairs to be released into captivity. (We are rather hoping they breed in the wardrobe. However, this is unlikely, as they are unlikely to be removed from our feet now till around next April.) You can find them on pre-order at Victoria Health now (www.victoriahealth.com), where you can be one very toasty step ahead of the the rest of the FitFlop pack. Cold? Wind? Snow? Our little piggies say: 'Bring it on!'

Beauty Treatments to Try Before You Die No. 1: a Margaret Dabbs pedicure
Hard skin is the No. 1 enemy of a happy life, if you ask us. As devoted walkers who like to wear pretty heels (at least sometimes), keeping our feet blissful has always been a priority. (The world's most expensive face cream is not going to help if you're grimacing from uncomfy feet.) But there are pedicures – and there are Margaret Dabbs pedicures. (As in: when was the last time you reclined on a massage chair in an oxygen chamber as your polish died, enjoying a 15-minute guided meditation while staring at a Planetarium-like ceiling? See Jo, showing off her indigo toes in the aforementioned 'egg' chamber, left) First, though, comes the really important bit: one of five podiatrists (Margaret herself, if you're willing to pay £120 a session not including varnish) buffs your feet to marble-smoothness, and expertly shapes the nails. (Because they're medically qualified, the Margaret Dabbs team can also offer pedicures to diabetics, who we know find it hard to access glamorous foot services.) Feet are slathered with the emu-oil-rich, ultra-nourishing cream (the range is pictured right) – and then you're ready for your expert varnish application. Too few places combine both the health aspect with glamour, in our experience – and once the hard work's been done, it's so easy to upkeep at home (Alida's is our foot-file-of-choice, which you can get from www.victoriahealth.com). We now completely 'get' why our friend Nicola Moulton, Beauty Director of Vogue (who could enjoy gratis pedicures in any salon of her choosing) actually pays to go back once a month for this: 'It's the one thing I can't live without,' Nicola tells us. Jo has a feeling she knows exactly what Nicola means. Oh, happy, happy feet.

Lovely Le Métier at Liberty
It isn't every day that a luxury make-up line lands fully-formed on our shores. But Le Métier de Beauté is just that: a complete range (created in California) with sumptuous colours, clever ideas (we especially love the Kaleidoscope Lip Kit lip gloss stack – think of it as the multi-storey car park of glosses – and the nail polishes, in dinky sizes just right for anyone with Beauty Attention Deficit Disorder, who gets bored with shades fast. Er, like us.). Prices are sort of up there with the likes of Giorgio Armani – and actually, like that brand, there's a focus on fabulous bases and powders. For now, it's exclusively at Liberty – where the counter is presided over by the rather depressingly gorgeous Dunja (say it Doon-yah), pictured here, who whisked her brushes expertly across Jo's face when she had to look glam for her friend Mary McCartney's 40th birthday bash. Definitely worth a browse, if you're in the area.

Our favourite window display of 2009!
Like most luxuryophiles (or whatever the word is), we get ridiculously excited by an orange Hermès box (whether it's enveloping a fragrance or a silk scarf – we merely fantasise about anything larger than that…) So if you do drop into Le Métier de Beauté at Liberty's in the very near future, leave time for a swoon over their fabulous Hermès window – stacked high with orange boxes, a doll's house-like cardboard recreation of the store's faux Tudor façade. We officially have box envy.

Sisters are doing it for themselves
Not so long ago, Lyndalouise Burrell (right) was a successful fashion stylist in New York, and her sister Jo was a high-flying recruitment consultant. Big life change: they decided to open a nail bar in Islington - but not just any nail bar. It's one of the cleverest concepts we've seen in a long while, offering anything from a quick 15-minute repaint to a 'build-your-own-manicure-or-pedicure' option: in addition to the usual buff/scrub/polish, you can book callus removal, extra massage, a paraffin mask, etc., as an 'add-on', so you get exactly 100% the treatment you want. Tapping into Lynda's fashion expertise, they've their own range of totally on-trend, less-toxic-than-most polishes (the blues and flesh tones are especially 'now'), while the salon itself is super-stylish (think: silver pitchers for filling the pedicure basins, and a lipstick red rubber floor!) Our Jo had one of the best pedicures ever, leaving her feet softer than any baby's derrière - and with shiny-new-car blue nails (see pic!). (She also learned a tip: clean any varnish smudges with the slimmest fine art paintbrush dipped in polish remover.) Truly, one of the best toe-jobs in town.

Absolutely classic
This is gearing up to be a very good season to be a make-up hound. Just as the shops are full of fabulous Little Black Dresses (and lots of navy - a rare winter sighting), nobody at a make-up counter is likely to be trying to persuade you that really, pink eyeshadow is The Last Word in Fabulousness. At least not for the foreseeable future. 'The beauty houses are playing a little safer,' Sylvie Chantecaille explained to us over tea at The Berkeley recently. 'It's a very good season for shades that are simply beautiful - rather than too fashion-forward.' Now, Sylvie knows a thing or two about make-up (she launched Prescriptives for Estée Lauder, and has since created one of the best-loved luxury cosmetics brands in the world - which you can find at Harrods, Fenwick of Bond Street, Harvey Nix and Space NK). And as advocates of foolproof, classic shades, we couldn't be happier to hear that this autumn is going to be all about fabulous neutrals, rich berry tones and can't-go-wrong browns. What's more, we are really awfully keen on the her Personal Collection Fall 2009, which includes the most gorgeous, deep claret collagen-enriched Lip Chic lipstick in Heirloom, and Sylvie's Personal Palette (with three organza-sheer eyeshadow shades and a perfect blush) - just about as wearable and flattering as make-up gets, frankly. Every recession, it seems, has a silver lining. (Or in the case of this season, a softly shimmering taupe lining.)

A beauty pilgrimage to the Isle of Wight
Fact: the Liz Earle shop on the Isle of Wight (a short stroll from Ryde Pier, up Union Street) attracts 20,000 visitors a year. Well, make that 20,001: yesterday, Jo dropped in for a visit, and to have lunch with Kim Buckland - Liz Earle's lovely and very clever business partner, a bit of an unsung heroine in this fast-growing British beauty business. So: here's Kim's moment of well-deserved glory, smiling (as well she should) beside the completely fabulous new Superskin products. (Think: luscious body cream, bust and décolletage treatment, and a great new lip-and-eye product. Our skins are gratefully lapping these up…) Turns out there's one customer who even stays opposite, so she can visit the store every day. Frankly, so would we - if we only lived nearer…! On Jo's beauty wishlist? After a delicious garlic-laced lunch with Kim at the IOW's famous Garlic Farm restaurant, Liz Earle Naturally Active should definitely consider a botanical breath-freshener, for a bit of clever co-branding!

The real beauty secret of French women
As beauty editors, we really do practice what we preach. We are diligent about cleansing. We moisturise with religious devotion. And we glug water constantly. So when Jo got the day's highest score for skin hydration - 34.3% - at a demo of their new on-counter skin analysis system by Darphin, she was entitled to feel the teensiest bit smug, especially as she's twice the age of most of the other beauty eds. who pitched up. (NB This photo is of Jo's skin, blown up to many times its actual size, on their computer.) Darphin had some lovely things to show us. 31 new treatments, to be launched later this year at their salons. Delectable new facial oils (we are LOVING 8-Flower Nectar) and a 'Stimulskin' serum regime, for twice-a-year skin-firming blitz. But what really fascinated us was talking to Darphin's Aurélie Doisneau, who works on this French brand (now owned by Lauder), about the beauty secrets of Frenchwomen. For instance: how long, Jo pondered, did Aurélie spend on her evening cleanse/tone/moisturise regime? The smooth-skinned Darphin ambassador smiled. 'Half an hour.' (Which means there probably isn't even a French word for 'cleansing wipe'.) Now that's devotion…!

V-v-v-v-e-r-y e-x-c-i-t-i-n-g-g-g
That's what happens when you try to type with a vibrating mascara in one hand. Well, not really. But no sooner had we been musing about which budget beauty brand would be first to launch a vibrating mascara - territory claimed at the top end of the market by Lauder and Lancôme - than Maybelline were first past the post with Pulse Perfection, launching this month (August) at Boots for £14.99. (At the same Sanderson Hotel event, they also showed us Color Sensational: 26 shades of lip-quenching colour - and it was definitely the first time we've watched a burlesque striptease at a beauty launch!) Still, it's Pulse Perfection that got us buzzing - and Maybelline New York make-up artist Fiona Jolly agrees: 'I was cynical about vibrating mascaras. But I'm such a convert that honestly, I predict that within five years there won't be a non-vibrating type, because they do all the work, wiggling the wand from root to tip!'

Paradise found - in Soho...
Don't be deceived by the bird-of-paradise eyeshadow this model was wearing when Beauty Bible dropped by Bourjois's autumn preview event at the Sanctum Hotel (Soho's new 'party' hotel, where nobody minds if you stay up all night playing music in your room, because that's the whole idea). We saw lots to love in the rooftop suite invaded by Bourjois for the day, including a flattering new shade of Ombre Stretch - Sarah's favourite eyeshadow - in Taupe Froid. But what really got us excited was the launch of Bourjois's cleansing range - including a dual-phase Express Eye Make-up Remover which is one of the very few on the planet that hasn't irritated Jo's so-sensitive eyes, and which removes every last atom - EVERY LAST ATOM! - of mascara, with no rubbing. All the cleansers are fabulous - and all under a fiver. Now that's beautiful.

We scream for ice cream!
Fact: we are both in love with Marcia Kilgore's so-clever Soap & Glory range. Names that make us grin like idiots. (Think: Arch de Triumph brow pencil.) Products that deliver. Really affordable prices. (Find them at Boots, as well as Harvey Nix Beyond Beauty.) However, when a beauty brand serves giant ice cream sundaes and knickerbocker glories at its Christmas preview - well, we walked out with an even bigger smile on our faces. But what did we find that really got us excited (apart from several scoops of dark chocolate ice cream)? Gift sets that we'll be giving to all our goddaughters for Christmas. A really brilliantly-designed silver long-handled brush with just the right balance of firm-and-soft, for top-to-toe body-blitzing. Truly effective nylon body-buffing gloves, for the bath (Soap & Glory pink, of course). And a funny little pink exfoliating pad with rubber bristles (pictured here in close-up). Kinda weird. Kinda wonderful. And you know what? It'll probably do for face-buffing what Marcia's FitFlops have done for our feet, and we'll wonder how we ever lived without one.

Work that face!
Forget facelifts. Or Botox. Emma Hardie is one of the most sought-after facialists in the business, and unlike women who insist that 'freezing' the face is the way to stay youthful, Emma believes just the opposite: for radiance and a younger-looking face, 'facial mobilisation' is the answer. Her 'non-invasive natural lift and sculpting' facials (at The Hale Clinic and in Oxford) are truly world-class (and she's about to train the team at Space NK). But Emma's now soon launching her own signature skincare line (you'll also find it at Space NK as well as www.emmahardie.com). Over breakfast at Kettner's in Soho we asked Emma: if a woman had just two minutes to wake up her face and turn back the clock, what's her hottest tip? Emma yawned. Literally. 'The key is to move the mouth around, starting with a small 'O' and opening really wide,' she elaborated. 'It removes facial tension and gets blood and oxygen flowing, so you look more glowing.'

Powerberry to the people!
Innovations from Neal's Yard Remedies always get our beauty editor juices flowing, so we went along as fast as our Manolos (well, Eccos, actually) would carry us to The Future Laboratory in Covent Garden on Thursday for the unveiling of their new Power Berry collection. We're often asked to recommend products for younger skins and in future, won't hesitate to point teens in the direction of this capsule range: Power Berry Facial Wash, Daily Moisture and Facial Mask (which has a completely unique jelly-like texture - and just because we're the wrong side of - er - 40, don't think that's going to stop us using it). Lots of organic ingredients (from 76-93% - we like Neal's Yard's honesty), and packed with antioxidants from the power berries themselves: acai, goji, bilberry and rosehip. Exciting stuff (and we predict that berries like these are going to be Big Beauty News). But a sad day for Neal's Yard, saying goodbye to their great ambassador Simon Ford - pictured here looking like a dashing tango dancer! (Watch this space, because he'll be back on the beauty radar soon.)

Liz Earle is launching a fragrance - and it's FAB!
You read it here first... Yesterday Beauty Bible was present at the - ta-dah! - unveiling of Liz Earle Botanical Essence Eau de Parfum No. 1, her debut fragrance. (And if this is anything to go by, we hope it's the first of many.) She was helped on this journey by our lovely friend Lorna McKay - former Fragrance Buyer for Harrods, who later set up the Liberty Beauty Department and has been resident beauty sleuth at QVC for over 15 years. The brief was simple - but very difficult: to come up with a fragrance that everyone would love. And we defy anyone not to! Upon first spritzing, the citrus freshness (bergamot, mandarin, lemon) is a little like Eau Sauvage, and then the floral notes start wafting around: rose absolute, lavender, geranium (which hint at Houbigant's legendary Quelques Fleurs) The longer it's on your skin, the more you sense the underlying warm woodiness of cedarwood, vetiver, tonka bean and patchouli. But despite those whispers of other fragrances we love, it's like nothing out there - a breath of fresh air, having been created not to a 'marketing brief' or to capitalise on Britney/Christina/Jennifer's celebrity, but quite simply to smell gorgeous. End of story. (And oh, we do love a press launch which involves a bit of D-I-Y fragrance creation - at the tables photographed here...!) It launches in October, and we can't wait to get our paws on a full-sized bottle, because our teensy sample vials aren't going to last much longer than the back end of next week!

Clap hands if you want more hair!
Every so often, Beauty Bible is present at the start of a true beauty revolution. So it was when we watched international hair superstar Ed Moelands demo Sebastian Professional's Elastic Texturiser on a fine-haired blonde model. Now, we've seen plenty of hair volumising products. But this is absolutely bizarre – and unbelievably effective. The deal is this: Elastic Texturiser starts out a bit sticky and gummy. Then you work it into hair, clap your hands together (yes, you read that right), and the most extraordinary thing happens: tiny microweb fibres start puffing out of nowhere, fluffing up hair and boosting hair volume to a staggering degree – a bit like making candy floss, but in a silky, touchable way. As Ed (whose work has been showcased in all the Vogues, i-D, Gloss and Elle) observes: 'In the past, when models with limp hair arrive on a shoot, we'd start reaching for extensions and get glueing, or use tons of mousse and a blow-dryer. I'm so excited because with this, you simply clap your hands, et voilà: three minutes later you have amazing volume.' The downside: you're going to have to wait till October-ish for Elastic Texturiser, when it'll go on sale at Sebastian salons. We predict this won't just be a hit with anyone wanting catwalk-style 'bed hair', but women with genuinely thin hair who want extra oomph. Be prepared for a stampede.

Drabu felicitates students for winning gold, silver in Taekwondo at China
SRINAGAR, Dec 6: Minister for Finance and Labour & Employment, Dr Haseeb A Drabu today said schools in Kashmir Valley should become centres for change in addressing the social disorder and chaos in our society.
"No human being is born with the innate desire for ferment. We grew up in a normal environment but today, it's an abnormal situation. Schools are the best places to understand and effect the change we require to make J&K a peaceful and prosperous state," he said.
"Schools must take cognizance of the situation around and train students to face the real world, not just for landing good jobs. Give them (students) tools to understand the situation. Once they deal with it, they will be able to change it," he said.
The Minister was speaking at a felicitation ceremony organized by Doon International School here for its two students, Moomina Manzoor and Mehsood Fatima, and their coach, Umar Akbar, who won gold and silver medals at a Taekwondo championship held at Macau, China last month.
Congratulating the students, Dr Drabu said they have brought laurels for J&K and the entire country, "I am amazed by the kind of talent we have in Kashmir. You need nurturing and caring and I am sure you will continue to scale newer heights," he said.
Regretting the systemic erosion of societal values in Kashmir, the Finance Minister said Jammu and Kashmir used to be a diverse, liberal and emancipated society, "Globally, there has been a rise to dominance of illiberalism and J&K is no exception but no culture is richer than J&K as regards our diversity. And our future lies in going to past to discover our liberal moorings," he said.
Dr Drabu said schools should evolve as per the cultural context in which they are situated, "Every school has a culture around it and it should adapt some of its teachings. We must spend time to venture into troubled societies and bring sensitivity among the students which will also help in chalking out long term solution to our problems," he said.
Exhorting the students to enjoy life to the fullest, Dr Drabu advised them to stop worrying about future, "It is important to be a good human being rather than being an out-performer. Imbibe education as a way of living life and make sure everybody around you is happy and not just yourself. Build relationships and try create an enclave of peace prosperity and happiness. You must create a world that you aspire to live in," he said.

Eduardo Gory Guerrero, a World Wrestling Entertainment superstar was found dead in his hotel room Sunday in Minneapolis, where he was scheduled to appear that evening in a WWE Supershow. He was 38.
When he didn't respond to a wake-up call, hotel security at Minneapolis Marriott City Center and Guerrero's nephew and fellow WWE wrestler, Chavo Guerrero, forced their way into the room, police said.
There were no apparent signs of foul play or suicide, police said. An autopsy was planned at the Hennepin County medical examiner's office.
He was a featured star on the UPN series "WWE Smackdown!" and son of Mexican wrestler Gory Guerrero.
Chavo Guerrero and McMahon said Guerrero was open about his past drug and alcohol abuse but they said he'd been sober for four years.
In February 2004, Guerrero became the second wrestler of Hispanic heritage to be WWE champion when he defeated Brock Lesnar, a former University of Minnesota wrestling standout. Guerrero lost the title four months later.
In May 2004, UPN aired the special "Cheating Death, Stealing Life: The Eddie Guerrero Story." The one-hour program chronicled his childhood and his struggle with drug addiction that almost cost him his job, family and life before his recovery and eventual capture of the WWE championship.
damn, thas crazy R.I.P.

Are you in the market for a new smartphone? You may have noticed that the one you have right now is getting very slow, and it does not have all the features that you may have seen from your friends' newer smartphones. That is a good thing – you have figured out that you need to get something new. It is the first step. Now you are going to figure out what item you need to buy so that you are getting the best value for your purchase. When it comes to smartphones, you have two major choices: Apple or Android smartphones!
The choice is yours, but we can help you out. We think that if you are the type of person who wants something simple, and you just want it to work out of the box, we think the Apple phones are the ones for you. Not only is it a lot easier to choose a model, since they always have one or two of the "latest" iPhones that are on the market, but you get more security. Apple is a lot more concerned about ensuring that your data and usage history is completely private. In contrast, Google does not care too much about those things.
But what you do get with the Android smartphone is a lower cost. If you see the major phone retailers, you will notice they probably have a few Android smartphones that are less than $100. And these are not old models, but highly rated ones that only came out a few months ago. The reason so many go on sale is because of the sheer variety of Android phones. So, if you are someone who cares about paying less for your phone but still getting a ton of features, we think the Androids are right for you!

RGBW Lighting
I love the new possibilities that modern leds provide (cheap, efficient, small, ...) and I wanted a nice project to play with for my home automation. As I could only find a dimmer for one-color-leds and domoticz and mysensors recently added support for rgb(w) lighting I started to build a control pcb for just that.
I got some help here.
The board
The board should be relativly easy to build and use and shouldn't be too big. The maximum size was 5x5cm as thats what cheap pcb manufactures mostly support. In the end I used a 30 by 50mm board with rounded edges and 2 mounting holes.
The components
I tried to use small but easy to solder components. IRML2502 mosfets in a smd formfactor are used to control the channels of the leds. They are pretty small but one can still solder them by hand without too many problems. I had an earlier version where I used through hole mosfets but these take up a lot of space. An AMS1117 is used to generated the 3.3V from the 12V (led power) input. I tried a buckconverter for more efficiency but these need a lot of filters otherwise the radio doesn't work anymore. As the whole thing doesn't draw too much power a linear regulator should be sufficient. The core is an arduino pro mini. That one is cheap and already has all components it needs to run. Perhaps I will create another version with just the atmega 328P but at the moment this is the easiest solution. Beside the NRF24L01+ radio I and some passive components I also added an ISP programmer 6-pin port to be able to change the program without using the serial connection if need be.
At the moment the software relies on domoticz as a controller or some software that sends the same kind of information. The program stores the current target level for the leds which it gets from domoticz and then fades from its current values to the target ones. As the human eye doesn't see changes in brightness linearly I tried to use non linear scaling for but that doesn't seem to work yet.
Update: I just added a newer version of my sketch that is based on MySensors 2. The most update-to-date version can always be found in my github repo.
I build a custom lighting system for my living room which uses this controller. It's still work in progress but I will try to upload some pictures soon.
- Make non linear fading work
The old version (that I have tested and where these pictures are from) had an error where I switched outputs for the mosfets! They have to be rotated to work! In the newest (gerber) files in the linked github repo I fixed these mistakes. Although I haven't tested these new boards (yet) they should work without this fix now. Wrong: Right:
5 RGBW controllers using the first generation (with the switched mosfets) have been running here for months now without error.
The pcb can be bought here. Read the error part above!

In an exciting piece of news for longtime DC fans, The Flash has announced the casting of Teddy Sears (Masters of Sex) as the original Flash, Jay Garrick, for season 2, reported here by EW. Needless to say, Garrick will not be appearing as part of dimension-shifted Keystone City as in the original, but looks to play a significant part of Barry's development as a hero.
In the article, executive producer Andrew Kreisberg states, "Having Jay Garrick come onto the show was one of our earliest ideas. It is so exciting, as we rush into season 2, that we finally get to bring the Crimson Comet to life."
EW calls Garrick "a mysterious figure who arrives in Central City to warn Barry Allen and his team at STAR Labs of an impending danger that he [alone] cannot hope to stop."
In contrast to old-guard Jay Garrick, however, Shantel VanSanten (of One Tree Hill and, most recently, The Messengers) has been cast as Patty Spivot, a police officer who unknowingly develops a romantic entanglement with Barry Allen. Spivot, per the article, "is obsessed with metahumans and partners with Det. Joe West … but has no idea that her new crush is The Flash", and as Kreisberg also stated, will "help complicate Barry Allen's love life in Season 2".
As a character, Spivot has been a potential romantic interest for Barry since 1977 (in a fanciful "what-if" daydream of Barry's), but that relationship has only really been realized in the comics post-Flashpoint.
These are two characters with plenty of history in the Flash mythos, and we can't wait to see Sears and VanSanten give them life on the small screen!
We'll just be over here waiting for the inevitable Justice Society spin-off, Legends of Yesterday….

For the stock
15g butter
2 medium carrots, roughly chopped

2 tbsp ground turmeric
2 bay leaves
950ml chicken stock

For the rice
300g basmati rice
35g sultanas
For the stock:
In a medium sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the carrots, celery, onion and garlic and cook until the vegetables are softened; a little browning is okay.

For the fish:
In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Sear the cod pieces until one side is crispy.
Pour 500ml of the flavoured stock into the pan, reduce the heat, and simmer until the fish is completely cooked.
For the rice:
Pour the remaining flavoured stock in a measuring jug and add enough water to bring it up to 750ml. Pour the liquid into a saucepan and add the rice and sultanas. Bring to the boil, cover and reduce the heat to a simmer. Continue to cook for 20 minutes.
To serve:
Make a bed of rice in a soup plate, place a piece of fish on top, and spoon in some of the stock.

Happy Lemonade Freedom Day! August 18 is alight with action taking place all over the Earth.
In the belly of the beast, the Raw Milk Freedom Riders and the Lemonistas are gathering to celebrate their freedoms.
You can watch the event livestreamed here.
Julian Assange remains holed up in London's Ecuadorian Embassy, while UK officials make threats against the supposed sovereignty of the building. Watch the speech on Ecuador's decision to grant Assange sovereignty from Russia Today.
Supporters of the feminist punk band Pussy Riot are outraged after their conviction on 'hooliganism' charges in the Russian Federation. The three ladies were sentenced to two years in a prison camp for performing an anti-Putin punk rock prayer in Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Saviour. The legislation under which they were convicted is similar to United States hate crimes legislation, as their performance is alleged to have insulted the religious. Yesterday, solidarity protest footage broadcast on Russia Today of a Femen activist chopping down a cross with a chainsaw.
Footage from a New Hampshire house subcommittee hearing on the wiretapping statute in the wake of Ademo's felony conviction has been posted online and isolated in into segments. Biker Bill was present and recorded the entirety of the hearing. See his blog post, and 2 hour video here.
Free Concord has assembled a playlist of segments of interest from the hearing.
Stay tuned for reports from the scene for lemonade freedom in Keene, New Hampshire.

In the first line of his first address to a Joint Session of Congress, President Donald J. Trump stated "Tonight, as we mark the conclusion of our celebration of Black History Month, we are reminded of our Nation's path toward civil rights and the work that still remains." This came in the same week that the President met with Presidents of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) and signed an executive order laying the framework for support for Black colleges. In his first month in office the President has met with a delegation of Black leadership, toured the Smithsonian museum of African American History and appointed Ben Carson head of the Department of Housing and Urban development in addition to dropping his proposal to institute nationwide "Stop and Frisk".
So who's to blame (or credit) with the President's strong stance on African American issues thus far? Omarosé Manigault. Omarosé is the singular most important voice in Black America right now. She has the ear of the President of the United States of America and the ability to influence executive orders, budgetary items and direction that this nation will take toward issues in the Black community. In sum, she may be the most powerful Black person (not woman) in the country right now. The former reality T.V. star is effectively the cup bearer to the king.
In the Christian Bible it tells us that in the 20th year of The King of Persia, Nehemiah was cup-bearer to the king. He learned that the remnant in Judah were in distress and that the walls of Jerusalem were broken down and thus asked the king for permission to return and rebuild Jerusalem to help his people. The Hebrews and the Persians had been at odds since Muslim conquest of Iran and 70 years of Babylonian rule. However, the Persian King sent Nehemiah to Judah as governor of the province with a mission to rebuild. Once there, Nehemiah defied the opposition of Judah's enemies and rebuilt the walls within 52 days. He then took measures to rebuild the city's population and purify the Jewish community. He enforced the cancellation of debt and assisted in enforcing the law of Moses. That is all to say, the cup bearer of the king has a tremendous ability to help their people.
Omarosé thus far has embraced this position of high influence, despite the smears and derision of her own people. She has stated that she has been chided by her own friends and family members; sunned by acquaintance and even excommunicated by business associates because of her association with the President. But despite this she remains the singular voice of Black leadership working with the President. The Congressional Black Caucus and traditional Civil Rights leadership have embraced the "Resist" movement and thus have refused to work with the administration. Anything that benefits the African American community for the foreseeable future will go through her office and must meet her approval.
So how do we interact with this most powerful of women whom wields so much influence? When Nehemiah returned to Judah he was initially greeted with distrust. Not everyone in the region was happy, especially Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian. They tried several methods to stop the efforts. They used mocking and ridicule. "Now Tobiah the Ammonite was beside him, and he said, 'Whatever they build, if even a fox goes up on it, he will break down their stone wall'" (Nehemiah 4:3). Second, the enemies attempted to stop the work by threats of force. "Now it happened, when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites heard that the walls of Jerusalem were being restored and the gaps were beginning to be closed, that they became very angry, and all of them conspired together to come and attack Jerusalem and create confusion. Nevertheless we made our prayer to our God, and because of them we set a watch against them day and night" (Nehemiah 4:7-9). Third, the enemies sought to promote compromise. "Now it happened when Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arab, and the rest of our enemies heard that I had rebuilt the wall, and that there were no breaks left in it (though at that time I had not hung the doors in the gates), that Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, 'Come, let us meet together among the villages in the plain of Ono.' But they thought to do me harm. So I sent messengers to them, saying, 'I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and go down to you?'" (Nehemiah 6:1-3). Finally, the enemies used scare tactics to discourage the Jews. "Then Sanballat sent his servant to me as before, the fifth time, with an open letter in his hand. In it was written: 'It is reported among the nations, and Geshem says, that you and the Jews plan to rebel; therefore, according to these rumors, you are rebuilding the wall, that you may be their king. And you have also appointed prophets to proclaim concerning you at Jerusalem, saying, "There is a king in Judah!" Now these matters will be reported to the king. So come, therefore, and let us consult together.' (Nehemiah 6:5-9).
There will always be distrust and opposition to anyone using alternative means to achieve change. Omarosé has pushed the President to address the issue of Black America in ways that we have not seen in recent years. For this reason, instead of working in opposition to her and her efforts we would do well to work with her. The cup bearer to the king wields great power and influence and also the capacity to effectuate change. If we reject those who seek to help us because of whom they serve, we will never rebuild Jerusalem.

Peru Workshop on Medical Device Regulation: Policy and Technical Aspects
We were recently invited to be a keynote speaker for Medical Device Standards: Technical Training on Cardiovascular Materials and Device Aspects at the PERU Workshop on Medical Device Regulation: Policy and Technical Aspects, November 2-4, 2015.
The event was hosted by ASTM International Standards Alliance with USAID/ANSI. The primary audience was government regulators, national medical device technical committee, medical device users, purchasers from hospitals, companies and testing laboratories. It was a great learning experience and in hope the start of greater fairness and effectiveness of healthcare for everyone.
We presented on three topics:
1) Standard Guide for Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of Metallic Vascular Stents Subjected to Uniform Radial Loading ASTM F2514.
2) Standard Test Methods for in vitro Pulsatile Durability Testing of Vascular Stents, plus Shelf-life Test Attributes for Endovascular Devices ASTM F2914-12.
3) Standard Guide for Testing Absorbable Stents, ASTM F3036-13 and Current Issues in Materials, Fatigue and Fracture and Testing of Implantable Devices
Joined by other ASTM colleagues, Kenneth R. St. John, PhD, and his experience with biocompatability and biological test methods and Jon Cammack, PhD, with an overview of TC194 and ISO 10993.
If you would like to see our presentations, please send us a request.

Hackintosh is running macOS on a computer that was not manufactured by Apple Inc.
macOS can only be installed on Genuine Macs but with a little Hacking it can be made to run on Pcs
- Hackintosh, Explained!
Hackintosh Computer is running macOS in hardware not manufactured by Apple. As a little hacking involves the name derived as Hackintosh.
Why Hackintosh?
macOS is a great, fastest and safest operating system with many features and facilities but it runs on Macintoshes, the real apple hardware, but apple macintosh are expensive, not everyone could afford to buy it.
but for the half of the price of Macintosh, you can make a Hackintosh system and you can upgrade it too in the near future. Hackintosh actually saves your money and its the cheapest solution for mac os x.
Comparison Between Genuine Mac & Hackintosh
Is Hackintosh legal?
Sort of. Installing OS X on non-Apple hardware is a violation of the EULA (End User License Agreement), but the general rule is unless you're a business selling Hackintoshes, Apple doesn't care.
Apple knows we exist and have had plenty of opportunities to stop us, but they have never so much as tried.
Is Hackintosh Stable?
It depends on the machine and the install. When you build a machine for running macOS, generally you can get it to function as good as a real mac. but Hackintoshes are completely unsupported. You'll have to be your own tech support, but don't be nervous; there are a ton of great online resources and you can learn pretty much everything you need from reading.
Can my Computer Run OS X?
That depends. The main qualifier is that your machine has an Intel processor. You can run on AMD, but it's generally more trouble than it's worth. The easiest machines to install on are ones with UEFI bios, especially Gigabyte boards. For the graphics card, Nvidia used to be easier to get working, but with the introduction of the 7xx series cards from Nvidia and the R9 2XX cards from AMD, the cards now work OOB(out of the box) and there is much less hassle required to get good graphics functionality.
To see if others have had success with your hardware check out: the OSX86 wiki.

In 2011 I attended a 4-day Sketching Haptics workshop, which was led by interaction designer Camille Mousettet. Haptic sketching is a approach aimed at supporting the development of rapid physical prototypes using puppetry and simple actuation (with devices like arduino). I already had some prior experience with arduino, but the workshop compelled me to dive in even deeper into the world of sensors and actuators. Since the workshop, this type of exploratory, hands on prototyping has become a go-to method for tackling new problems or testing the boundaries of my design ideas. (Also see my day 2 project.)
On days 3/4, myself and another attendee applied our increasingly competent to created Hold On Tight (HOT), a prototype intended to support the feeling of holding hands between two remote users. We were inspired by the Design Incubation Center's Roly Poly (2010) and Noriyuki Fujimura's Remote Furniture (1999), both of which explore how haptics can support communication between people at a distance. We built the prototype using two mouse-shaped pods, but had to make do with faking physical distance with the creation of a hastily assembled divider. Each pod used a pressure sensor under the thumb to detect squeezing and an optical sensor to detect proximity to the device. We generated that warm, hand-holding feeling with Peltier junctions. Finally, to tie the devices together and make it all run, we used two Arduinos with motor shields to monitor the inputs and control the outputs of each pod.
When someone approaches one of the pods, the pod in the other location shakes to notify the person in that location that someone wants to hold their hand! If a person then approaches the vibrating pod in response, the first pod also shakes to let the first user know that someone is now the other end. Finally, once one person person squeezes the pod, the other pod will heat up – and vice versa. And voila! That satisfying feeling of holding hands.

Hi and welcome to our new blog.
Yes, just what the internet needs, someone else who thinks that what they have to say will benefit all mankind…well, in this case, aviankind. From time to time I will post topics that I think will be of interest to the rest of the chapter as well as those who paruse our website. Themes will range from what's going on locally, airplane construction techniques, flight safety, aviation history and personal interviews. I might even add a video from time to time. Of course, for those who like, please share some ideas with me about the content. I hope you enjoy.

RSPCA urged to overhaul its prosecutions policy
The RSPCA should overhaul the way it prosecutes animal cruelty cases and hunts and leave some cases to the CPS and police, says an independent report.
The findings of an independent review into the charity's prosecutions policy were published on Wednesday (1 October).
The £50,000 review, led by former CPS investigator Stephen Wooler and commissioned by the RSPCA, recognised the "substantial and important role" the charity played in enforcing animal welfare legislation.
The RSPCA conducts 80% of animal welfare prosecutions in England and Wales. Last year the charity dealt with 66,000 incidents and took nearly 1,600 people to court.
But in recent years, the RSPCA has been accused of becoming too politicised and aggressive in pursuing farmers, hunts and pet owners.
The report found the charity operated outside the mainstream prosecution system in an "unstructured and haphazard environment".
And it argued that the RSPCA should leave prosecutions of high-profile hunting and animal sanctuary cases to the police and CPS.
The review makes 33 recommendations on the society's investigation and prosecution activity, including:
• Inviting the government to put the charity's investigation and prosecution functions on a more formal basis, seeking statutory appointment of RSPCA inspectors under the Animal Welfare Act 2006
• More detailed operational guidance to govern relationships with the police
• Realignment of the charity's prosecution role in certain areas such as animal sanctuary cases
• A comprehensive review to be undertaken by the charity of its prosecutions structure, including the adoption of a prosecution policy statement and clearer guidelines on how it assesses whether to take prosecutions.
Mike Tomlinson, chairman of the RSPCA, said: "The RSPCA accepts the need to adapt its approach to meet modern expectations of transparency and accountability in law enforcement.
"The RSPCA's next step will be to discuss the outcome of the review with other key players in enforcement of animal welfare legislation such as the government and other statutory enforcement bodies to develop a more clearly defined strategy for the enforcement of animal welfare legislation."
The RSPCA announced the review of its prosecutions policy last December following a string of high-profile, costly court cases, including the decision to spend £326,000 prosecuting the Heythrop Hunt in Oxfordshire for illegal foxhunting.
Its former chief executive, Gavin Grant, who earned up to £160,000 a year as the charity's head, stepped down in February, citing health concerns .
Mr Grant positioned the RSPCA with an aggressive campaign stance against badger culling. He also outraged farming unions with his call to have farmers involved in the pilot culls "named and shamed".
NFU leaders and the RSPCA have also clashed over the charity's long campaign to stop live animals being exported from Ramsgate port in Dover.

Jerry Brown worrying about the California housing crisis is akin to the French policeman played by Claude Rains in "Casablanca" being "shocked, shocked" about gambling at the bar where he himself collects his winnings.
Brown has long been at the forefront on drafting and enforcing regulations that make building housing both difficult and very expensive. And now he has pushed new legislation, which seems certain to be passed by the Legislature and signed by the governor, that makes it worse by imposing even more stringent regulations on greenhouse gas emissions, mandating a 40 percent cut from 1990 levels by 2030. read more »

Retail Merchants Benefit by this Reverse Consolidation Cash Advance Program
Learn about this wonderful new program that can easily consolidate several merchant cash advances.
TAMPA, FLORIDA, USA, August 17, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- August 11, 2017 -- The world of retail is a highly competitive environment and it's full of gimmicks that can easily cost merchants a lot of time and money. For instance, a popular practice involves cash advances. Much like the consumer-side service, it promises quick funds in exchange for a fee. Unfortunately, it's not just a single charge to borrow cash, but includes several tiers, including a high interest rate.
Retailers can also take advantage of cash advance programs but do so at their own peril. While this makes short-term sense too many businesses become trapped in a nightmarish cycle of borrowing time and again, simply to stay afloat. It usually starts with a single cash advance and commonly balloons into several, straining the business' cash flow until it's simply too expensive to continue.
Small businesses need as much freedom as possible and can only be successful by keeping cash flow, not only positive, but healthily flowing month after month. Retailer operating costs can add up quickly, including utilities, employee wages, insurance, inventory, rent, and much more. So, it's no surprise some businesses use cash advances as short-term financing, but that often becomes a vicious, seemingly unbreakable cycle.
But, there's good news. A new reverse consolidation cash advance program is the answer to break that cycle and free small businesses from this overwhelming obligation. Now, business owners with several positions can take advantage of this program to free them of that oppressive outlays.
The program is not a debt consolidation system which often fail to realize results. Instead, money is directly deposited weekly into the small business' bank account. These funds then cover all cash advance payments with a promise of a portion of all future receivables for an extended term.
This allows businesses to step away from cash advance obligations and improves its financial health. That means more money for inventory buys and other necessary purchases to improve revenue performance. After the program ends, there are no more cash advance obligations and that's a winning strategy for success.

We would like to see SchoolDude partner with a company that provides software and services to perform detail playground inspections like Playground Guardian.
These companies use playground safety standards including ASTM and National Parks & Rec requirements to inspect and grade the playgorund.
What we would like to be able to do is set up a PM schedule that has a link to the 3rd party software. Then when the inspection is done, have the record number or other key to the inspection record in the 3rd party software. Then the work order and inspection record will be tied together.
