Startup makes omega-3 nanocapsules for food industry
29 de maio de 2018By Marcos de Oliveira | FAPESP Research for Innovation – Funcional Mikron, a startup based in Valinhos (São Paulo State, Brazil), has developed a process to produce omega-3 for direct human consumption and as an ingredient for the food industry. Omega-3 is a group of polyunsaturated fatty acids found in fish and seafood, as well as algae and other plants. It is taken as a food supplement to combat high levels of triglycerides and cholesterol or to avoid senile dementia.
The project was supported by FAPESP's Innovative Research in Small Business Program (PIPE). Using nanotechnology, which involves the manipulation and manufacture of materials and devices on the atomic scale (a nanometer is a millionth of a millimeter), the firm developed a compound containing phytosterols, plant-derived substances structurally related to cholesterol and capable of combating excess cholesterol. Omega-3 nanoencapsulated with phytosterol is more efficiently absorbed by the organism and more effective at improving human health, according to the firm.
"We use fish oil encapsulated in micro- or nanostructures coated with phytosterols. They're nanospheres of between 100 and 400 nanometers that are easily absorbed by the intestine and enter the bloodstream faster and in larger volumes," says biomedical scientist Eduardo Caritá, a partner in Funcional Mikron and its director of technology and innovation.
In a test performed in partnership with the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) involving 30 volunteers, vitamin B nanoparticles nanoencapsulated in phytosterols were absorbed 25.7% better than vitamins in conventional capsules, showing better bioavailability of the product in the organism.
Caritá explains that the omega-3 and phytosterol nanosphere competes with low-density lipoprotein, familiar to almost everyone as LDL cholesterol, which is made by the liver when food is digested. Too much cholesterol in the blood triggers high levels of VLDL (very low-density lipoprotein). LDL and VLDL are often called "bad cholesterol" because they cause arterial wall inflammation that can lead to a heart attack.
The body prioritizes the absorption of phytosterol, a compound derived from plants and very similar to cholesterol in terms of molecular structure, in preference to the exogenous cholesterol produced when food is digested and expelled in the feces. The absorption of omega-3, whose active elements are two fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eventually reduces all inflammatory processes in the body, including those occurring in the arteries owing to a buildup of atheroma, a material that forms plaques made up mainly of calcium and fat, especially VLDL. Both omega-3 and phytosterols are considered functional foods by Brazil's Ministry of Health and its National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA). Scientific research shows that they are beneficial to health when taken as food supplements rather than drugs.
The new production process could make Funcional Mikron the first Brazilian manufacturer of omega-3 in powder form for the food industry. "We'll produce this ingredient for sale to other companies to use in ice cream, drinking chocolate, milk, juice, tea, and even bread and cake," Caritá says.
Other benefits of this production process using nanotechnology include longer shelf life, he adds, and a lack of the unpleasant fish smell typical of conventional omega-3 capsules or powders. Final sensory tests to validate this property are currently being conducted.
Drugs and supplements
Funcional Mikron began operating in 2007 as a department of Ultrapan, a company that makes fruit juice and energy drinks such as Dr. Up and Power Bull in Valinhos, São Paulo State. It was spun off in 2017. It developed caffeine nanocapsules for Power Bull to facilitate absorption of the substance by the body. Both firms are part of the Káiros group, which comprises ten food processors led by Alibra, with plants in Campinas (São Paulo State) and Marechal Rondon (Paraná) that make milk mixtures and other compounds used as ingredients in pizzas, ice creams, sauces and bakery products. It also markets its own products directly, including drinking chocolate and baby cereal powder.
In 2015, the group took over Genkor, a Brazilian manufacturer of food dyes, thickeners and stabilizers. All these firms work together and can incorporate the technologies developed by Funcional Mikron, which with Ultrapan makes 102 ingredients for drugs or supplements such as iron, vitamins, minerals and nanoencapsulated caffeine. It mainly exports vitamin supplements to other Latin American countries.
"Once the last tests are completed, we'll start producing nanoencapsulated omega-3 in Valinhos," Caritá says. "This will require investment, as yet without a defined origin, in a US-made machine that costs about US$300,000." The machine is an ultrahigh-pressure homogenizer that will be used to blend water, fish oil and phytosterol. The water will drive the oil into the phytosterol to form a nanoemulsion that will serve as the basis for the new products to be launched by Funcional Mikron in 2019.

The youthful energy of the guests at a bar or bat mitzvah is always a lot of fun, and it is enjoyable watching families celebrate together, sharing loving bonds in a tradition that is thousands of years old.
We started the day with some individual shots of Osher, who looked endearingly proud if slightly self-conscious in his suit and hat, showing signs of the man he will become. He is the oldest boy in a family with seven children, and we took the opportunity to do individual pictures of all the siblings. It is always lovely to have images of children at different stages of their lives – not only at a handful of milestone events – and something parents and grandparents appreciate enormously.
Whatever the event, we always look for those candid moments, the unscripted shots which capture the emotion of the day and show subjects at their most natural. A special thank you to Osher's mother for allowing us to play a role in this momentous occasion. They made us feel extremely welcome, and we enjoyed our experience of the day. Mazel tov!

How To Do a DNA Test at Home
The DNA sample collection kit we will send to you comes complete with step-by-step instructions for quick and easy cheek cell collection using the mouth swabs provided. DNA sample collection should take only a few minutes per person and is completely safe and painless. It is important that you follow the instructions carefully and return the DNA samples with a fully completed registration form, using the reply envelope you will find in the kit.
- Do not drink coffee or tea, or use tobacco products for 4 hours prior to sampling. Samples containing coffee, tea or tobacco residues may not process properly!
- Wash your hands and rinse applicant's mouth three times with warm water. (For infants - allow them to drink water from a bottle or wait 2 hours from last feeding)
- Take the first pair of swabs, which are to be used to collect the first applicant's DNA sample. Remove the first swab from the sterile packaging, taking care not to touch the tip of the swab.Collect cheek cells by rolling the tip of the sample collection swab firmly on the inside of both cheeks (30 times each or for about 1 minute). Be certain to move the swab over the entire inner cheek surfaces. This action should be firm but not aggressive and should cause no discomfort.
- Repeat this process for the same individual with the second swab. You must submit two swabs per person.
- Allow the swabs to air dry at room temperature for at least 15 minutes. To avoid contamination, do not allow the tips of the swabs to touch anything.
- Place the used swabs in the first sample collection envelope (do not put back in plastic packaging) and ensure that you clearly complete and sign the details required on the outside of the envelope. Be sure to seal the envelope firmly.
- Take the second pair of swabs, which are to be used to collect the second applicant's DNA sample and repeat the sample collection process (steps 3-5).
- Place the 2nd pair of used swabs in the second sample collection envelope (do not put back in plastic packaging) and ensure that you clearly complete and sign the details required on the outside of the envelope. Be sure to seal the envelope firmly.
- Repeat the sample collection process if you are requesting analysis of additional applicant's DNA.

Sonics, Inc., the world's foremost supplier of on-chip network (NoC) technologies and services, introduced new versions of its SonicsStudio® system-on-chip (SoC) development environment and SonicsGN® NoC. Sonics has enhanced the Director graphical user interface in SonicsStudio release 8.1 to be more responsive with larger SoC designs and to deliver fast, static performance analysis that aids designers in optimizing their SoC architecture to satisfy their application requirements across the full range of system use cases. SonicsGN release 3.1 includes new timeout error detection capability that identifies IP cores that fail to accept or complete their required transactions. Such error conditions typically result from either software defects in IP core programming or transient hardware failures. In addition, Sonics has improved its legacy interface support for ARM AMBA-based SoC designs.
"The best time to ensure that chips perform to specification is early in the architecture stage of development," said Drew Wingard, CTO of Sonics. "Much like static timing analysis, static performance analysis provides a big jump forward for SonicsStudio users to explore, refine, and optimize their chip architecture to meet performance specifications before they get into detailed RTL or SystemC simulation. The tool shows designers exactly where the opportunities exist to refine their chosen network topology or optimize the links between network nodes in their SoC for better throughput. Adding timeout error detection to our SonicsGN hardware helps to both accelerate the software bring up process and increase SoC resiliency against hardware failures."
Sonics has upgraded the SonicsStudio development environment with calculations that statically predict the performance capacities of the SoC architect's chosen network configuration. For each of the system use case scenarios, the architect describes the associated throughput characteristics and requirements either in a structured table or by automatically extracting that information from the simulation stimulus for that use case. SonicsStudio produces a set of report tables that compare the network's configured capacity versus the required throughput and highlights any discrepancies, together with their cause. This information is invaluable in guiding the architect to re-optimize the network to achieve performance requirements with minimum area.
By leveraging the same use case data that designers capture to automatically generate performance simulations, Sonics can statically characterize the chip performance before the simulations are ever run. Static analysis is much faster than simulation and more importantly, directly identifies the performance limitations and improvement opportunities for the user. This greatly reduces the number of iterations during the architecture phase and shortens the amount of time needed to achieve a design configuration that meets performance requirements.
Sonics has also upgraded SonicsGN to provide timeout error detection at the network level that avoids "hanging" conditions for IP components other than processor cores, which typically have their own timeout safeguards. Timeout detection as a class of error detection is important in making distributed, heterogeneous SoCs more resilient, particularly in applications that need high reliability. It is also valuable in debugging the initial bring up of driver software on an SoC because such low-level code may incorrectly program IP cores to an unsupported state, often causing the system to "hang."
Finally, Sonics has updated its support for legacy ARM AMBA interfaces in the SonicsStudio design environment as well as the SonicsGN NoC. SonicsStudio now includes full support for the ARM AHB protocol with performance-oriented transactor models at both the master and slave side. SonicsGN now features improved support for the APB interface.
SonicsStudio 8.1 and SonicsGN 3.1 are available now. Contact your Sonics sales representative for more information.

How to Close a Company: Complete Guide
There are several different ways to close a company, from Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation (CVL) to Members' Voluntary Liquidation (MVL). The best way for you will depend on your financial situation and whether your company is solvent or insolvent.
To help directors understand what paths are open to them, in this guide, Clarke Bells explains how to close a company in 2021.
How to close a company
Before we look at the best way to close a company, the first step is to look at your company's finances.
After all, whether your company is solvent, meaning it has assets, can pay its bills and debts, or is insolvent, meaning its liabilities outweigh its assets and it can't pay its bills and debts, will determine the best path forward for you.
If your company is solvent, a great way to close it is through Members' Voluntary Liquidation.
Members' Voluntary Liquidation
An MVL liquidates the company, dealing with its assets and liabilities in the correct manner, before dissolving it and striking it off the Companies House Register. What is considered a great advantage of this route is that it is an HMRC approved, tax-efficient way of closing a solvent company.
This is because funds taken out of the business through the MVL process are subject to Capital Gains Tax, not Income Tax. This is great news for directors as Capital Gains Tax is set at a rate of just 10%, compared to Income Tax which is set at a rate of 18% at the basic rate and 28% at the higher rate.
Furthermore, there are additional benefits for businesses that are eligible for Business Asset Disposal Relief. This will mean that you can sell all, or just part of the company and you will pay just 10% in Capital Gains Tax on the profits you have made over the lifespan of the business. This is capped at a lifetime limit of £1 million. Find out more about Business Asset Disposal Relief here.
Just as it sounds, this is a hassle-free way to close a business that can save director's a significant amount on their tax bill, which is why this is such a popular route with directors of solvent companies.
How to enter into an MVL
To enter into an MVL, the company must be solvent and usually has to have assets of £25,000 or greater.
This is a voluntary process that is always initiated by the company directors and shareholders. In order to progress with the MVL, the director must call a meeting with shareholders to initiate the process.
Once this meeting has been held, a licensed Insolvency Practitioner will then be appointed, who will carry out the process. This is a legal requirement due to the fact that an MVL is a formal insolvency process.
The Insolvency Practitioner's job is to release the company's assets, settle any outstanding legal disputes, pay creditors any outstanding amounts of money they are owed and then distribute the remaining funds amongst shareholders of the company.
Although this is a great way to close a solvent company, if your company is insolvent, a different set of options will instead be open to you.
Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation
For an insolvent company, a Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation will be the best route.
A CVL is another form of voluntary liquidation, however, it is a process open only to insolvent companies who no longer have a viable future.
A CVL allows a director of an insolvent company to close the company in a responsible way that fulfills the directors' duties and meets their obligations towards creditors to which they owe money.
As we have mentioned, this is the best option for companies that owe creditors money and that therefore want to avoid being forced into compulsory liquidation if they fail to pay back their debts.
How to enter into a CVL
A CVL is a formal insolvency process. This means that an Insolvency Practitioner must be appointed to carry out the process to ensure that everything is handled in the correct, legal way.
Once appointed, the Insolvency Practitioner will gather the information they need to proceed from the company, which typically includes a list of creditors and copies of accounts.
A board meeting must next be held. Here, the directors will formally declare that the company is insolvent and can no longer trade.
Compulsory liquidation
If you do not act quickly and enter an CVL when your company is insolvent, the liquidation of your company might be taken out of your hands by a creditor.
If you have not started the CVL process, and the company owes creditors a sum of £750 or more, creditors can issue a winding-up petition to the court.
If successful, the court will issue the company with a winding-up order which forces the company into compulsory liquidation.
This is the most serious type of liquidation and results in a range of negative consequences for the director, from the director's disqualification to being unable to utilise the services of solicitors and banks in the future.
That's why it's so important to act quickly at the first signs of insolvency, to ensure that options such as a CVL remain open to you and to avoid being forced into liquidation.
Clarke Bell is here to help
If your company is solvent and looking to close in a tax-efficient way, Clarke bell is here to help you with every stage of the MVL process.
However, if your company is insolvent and wants to know the best route forward, we will work closely with your company to advise on what's best for you.
Our team of experts has helped thousands of businesses across the UK undergo liquidation, so you can ensure that you are in safe hands. To find out more, or for some free, initial advice, simply get in touch today.

'The Princess Switch: Switched Again': a perfect holiday romantic comedy
The Princess Switch, a 2018 film directed by Michael Rohl is one of my top comfort movies. The romantic comedy features Vanessa Hudgens, one of my favorite childhood actresses, and takes place in fictional Belgravia. The film tells the story of a duchess who switches places with an ordinary woman from Chicago who looks exactly like her, and after trading places, they each fall in love with the other's future lovers. This happy and heart-warming story immediately became a favorite of mine when originally watching it two years ago.
After recently hearing The Princess Switch: Switched Again was coming out on November 19, I was excited and curious as to how the story would be continued. Just as in the first, the two main characters are both played by Vanessa Hudgens and she even gets to play a new, slightly more evil character.
Chicago baker Stacy (Hudgens) gives a brief reminder at the start of the movie that she is now a princess, as she wound up with Prince Edward (played by Sam Palladio) while visiting Belgravia for a baking contest. Her coworker Kevin (Nick Sagar) also makes an appearance at the start of the film, when we are informed that his relationship with Margaret (Hudgens) did not work out.
Stacy, Kevin and Kevin's daughter visit Belgravia for Margaret's coronation in an attempt to reunite Kevin and Margaret and possibly bring them back together. However, when arriving, they discover new obstacles that may keep them apart. Crazy cousins, new love interests and other complications quickly create problems for both couples.
Stacy and Margaret plan to temporarily exchange identities again, allowing Margaret to spend some quality time with Kevin. However, out of her desire for an inheritance of money, Margaret's cousin Fiona (Hudgens) disguises herself as Margaret in order to be crowned queen instead and wreaks havoc over the kingdom.
Hudgens did an overall great job of playing three very different roles. One a baker from Chicago, one a British soon-to-be queen and one a sneaky, stuck-up rich girl with an ulterior motive.
This movie definitely kept me on the edge of my seat. There seemed to always be new problems arising for the two girls and their love lives. The end of the movie was definitely worth it, however, with happy endings for almost every character.
This is a feel good story. With some cheesy lines and a typical storyline, each character played their role and took on their character in a different, creative way making the movie stand out from others.

— Natasha Taubenheim '22
I loved how the director incorporated the winter season with this fairy tale movie and chose to make it take place on Christmas day. This was easy to tell from the start, with a scene that included Kevin and Margaret throwing powdered sugar at each other with Christmas music in the background. This added touch brings a whole new level of comfort and warmth to watching it, especially during a global pandemic.
With everything going on in the world, the storyline and atmosphere caused me to forget about current issues and repossess the wonderful feeling of the holiday season. I definitely recommend this film if you're looking for a joyful, heartwarming, romantic story with traces of holiday spirit as well. I rate "The Princess Switch 2" a 9/10.

Join us on Thursday, December 24th for our "Great Expectations" Christmas Eve services at either 2:30pm (masks required), 4:00pm or 5:30pm. Childcare will be available through 3 years old. Invite your friends and neighbors to this special Christmas service!
Great Expectations Series
"Growing up, no holiday created greater expectations for me than Christmas. I looked forward to decorating, all the treats and cookies, the winter break and of course – the gifts. But I especially anticipated the return of my brothers and sisters. I was one of the youngest of my parent's nine children. By the time I knew what was happening, several of my older brothers and sisters were off to college or married and living away from home. I nearly counted the days leading up to their return home! I couldn't wait for them to come back. Yet, I did have to wait.
The promise of Jesus' first coming created great expectations among many of God's people. Many, but not all. This Christmas we will focus on the great expectations of those who were truly waiting for His coming. Why focus on that? Because just as God promised His Messiah was coming the first time, He has promised He is coming again. Are you expectant? Join us this Christmas season as we look to Scripture in both Old and New Testaments on those who had great expectations of Jesus' coming." – Pat Nemmers, Lead Pastor

EARTH Magazine: CSI La Brea – Tiny Traces Reveal Big Secrets of the Tar Pits
Alexandria, VA – Saber-tooth tigers, dire wolves and woolly mammoths conjure up images of a past when large beasts struggled against the elements, each other, and even against humans for survival. Thousands of these creatures met their demise in the muck of the La Brea tar pits in Los Angeles, where they slowly sank into the tar and were fossilized. Now, scientists are using traces from hungry, bone-eating insects on these fossils to investigate how long it took for the giant beasts to be swallowed up by the sticky, oozy substance.
Using similar entomology techniques employed by crime scene investigators, scientists were able to determine which hungry bugs feasted on trapped megafauna in tar pits, and just how long the bodies sat exposed in the tar before becoming completely submerged.

Nathan Chen, Mariah Bell capture Skate America crowns
Nathan Chen found himself in a familiar place Saturday on the top step of the podium.
The podium at Skate America, to be precise.
The American superstar landed five quadruple jumps over two programs in his first competition in nine months, easily out-distancing Vincent Zhou and the rest of the field to win his record-tying fourth straight Skate America. It also kept intact a streak of victories for Chen that dates to his fifth-place finish at the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics.
"I made quite a few big mistakes in that program, things that I shouldn't have made mistakes on," said Chen, whose soaring personal standards left him shrugging at his latest performance. "It is what it is. I'll learn from it and move forward."
The two-time world champion built a big lead in his short program Friday night before a shaky free skate, where he had to double a planned quad Salchow and missed a triple axel. But it was still enough for Chen to win the free skate with 187.98 points and give him 299.15 total, while Zhou's two second-place programs gave him 275.10 and the silver medal.
WATCH | Nathan Chen wins Skate America title:
The high-flying Chen, who has taken leave from his studies at Yale to focus on the 2022 Beijing Games, is on a run of titles that includes a victory over two-time Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu. His latest title at Skate America, one of the only Grand Prix events still going on amid the COVID-19 pandemic, matches the record shared by Michelle Kwan, Todd Eldredge and former Olympic champion ice dancers Meryl Davis and Charlie White.
Bell edges Tennell in women's event
In the women's event, Mariah Bell edged 2018 national champion Bradie Tennell to win arguably the biggest title of her career. The 24-year-old fell on a triple lutz to finish her program Saturday, and her score of 136.25 was only the fourth-best of the free skates. But her sterling short program gave her 212.73 points total — just 1.66 points ahead of Tennell, who won the free skate with a solid program that began with a triple axel-triple toe combination.
WATCH | Mariah Bell wins 1st Grand Prix title:
"I try not to look at outcomes, more how I feel," Bell said. "I'm walking away from this performance a little disappointed, and I look back at nationals and that's a program I was really proud of. I want to feel really great about what I did."
Messing earns bronze
Keegan Messing of Canada and 16-year-old American skater Audrey Shin won the bronze medals, while the pairs and ice dance competitions conclude later Saturday night in the mostly empty Orleans Arena.
Despite being the lone Canadian in the field, Messing welcomed the pressure bestowed upon him.
Messing won the bronze medal with a total of 266.42 points following his free program skate. It's an improvement on his 2019 performance where he finished fourth, just outside the podium.
WATCH | Keegan Messing of Canada claims bronze medal:
"I am absolutely stoked to come here, put those performances out there and leave with a medal," Messing said. "I'm on top of the world right now."
Messing was the only Canadian skater to be given an ISU Grand Prix assignment for the season. A handful of Canadians were slated to participate in the 2020 Skate Canada International in Ottawa later this month, but it was cancelled due to COVID-19 concerns.
"Just before I took my starting position today, I said to myself `this is for you guys,"' Messing said. "It was for my teammates who have to stay home. Today, I had something to fight for. I was skating for my team.
"This is a shared medal. With my team, with all of Canada. The Canadian fans have been so incredible to me. I am so proud to have that flag on my back and to win an international medal for Canada."
Scimeca Knierim, Frazier win pairs gold
Alexa Scimeca Knierim and Brandon Frazier won the pairs title in their debut at Skate America with a total score of 214.77.
They finished ahead of fellow Americans Jessica Calalang and Brian Johnson who totalled 207.40 points, and Audrey Lu and Misha Mitrofanov who finished third with a total score of 189.65.
WATCH | Alexa Scimeca Knierim, Brandon Frazier claim pairs title:

I've toyed with the idea of going full platinum for years. But whenever I confessed this desire, people always cautioned against it: friends, family, and my hairdresser told me my natural hair was too dark to handle the bleach. So I put it off, until a couple months ago, when I met a hair colorist who offhandedly, without knowing about my obsession, told me I'd look good as a blonde. I had about 30,000 questions, and she responded to the onslaught with just one answer: Go to Emaly Baum at Suite Caroline. "She's the queen of taking brunettes blonde."
Emaly was extremely warm, and practical about what I should expect. Yes, going blonde would be high maintenance and expensive. But with the right treatments, plus some diligence and care, I could keep my bleached hair happy and healthy. I picked her brain throughout my appointment, quizzing her about the all-time best products for newly bleached hair, and the best way to keep the color from looking yellow or fried. It's been three weeks since I made the transition, and my hair feels and looks totally healthy. Here's how.
Emaly: The nice thing about bleaching your hair is that you'll need to wash it way less, and it's going to give you some natural texture. Right now your hair is super oily, which is great, because the bleach is basically going to suck up that oil. We don't want your hair to be fried, but it likely will have a little more volume.
I love that. I usually use texture or salt spray in my hair every day.
It will probably give your hair that textured look naturally. You're a great candidate for bleaching. Virgin hair, super oily, and thick. Before you come in, don't wash your hair for at least a few days. The oilier your hair is the less painful the bleach will be on your scalp.
Let's talk about maintenance.
You'll be in here every four to six weeks, for three hours. If you don't come in for those touch-ups, you'll get these heavy yellow bands in your hair. So you need to be diligent, and book your next appointment every time you're leaving the salon. Are you excited? Nervous?
A beautiful cocktail of both.
Well, your hair is in good shape. And I've said no to people who want to go blonde but whose hair has been too damaged.
Is there a specific hair type for which you would recommend not making this drastic of a color change?
Well, no. Even really curly hair, I wouldn't advise against it. The only thing is that the texture is going to change, so curls might not be as tight. But I always tell my clients half the battle is at home. If you take good care of your hair, your texture will bounce back after a few weeks.
So is there any advice you have for girls who are at the beginning stages of considering going platinum? Like, they're just starting a Pinterest board, they've asked a few friends whether they think it'll look good, now what?
So there are a ton of different shades of blonde, right? So definitely make a Pinterest board and decide what kind of blonde you want and then talk to your colorist about it. They'll know what looks best with your skin tone.
Like I came in with ashier, whiter-toned photos. But then you basically said you thought a yellower, blonder color would suit me better. And now that's what we're doing. Product-wise, do you like purple shampoos for keeping hair from becoming too yellow-y? I preemptively bought the Sachajuan purple shampoo and conditioner and the Christophe Robin baby blonde mask.
Every blonde should have purple products, not for everyday, but for touch-ups. Purple conditioner and purple hair masks are a great way to get a boost of blonde when your color is feeling bleh. Especially right before you're coming back in for your roots, or if you have an event and you haven't been able to come back in. If you use it too much it can really dull the color and make it look darker and less shiny.
I'm stressed about shampooing because I know it's really easy to chose the wrong one and have it strip your hair. What shampoos do you like and recommend?
For double process I really love the classic shampoo Rahua. It's really simple. It's your everyday shampoo and it's not going to dry your hair out. It's not super moisturizing, but it's nourishing and it won't strip your color. On myself, I use Christophe Robin's volumizing paste. For your double-processed hair I wouldn't use it every day, but once in a while.
What's the deal with the at-home Olaplex?
Olaplex is a bond builder that helps protect your hair as it's getting colored or lightened. The at-home treatment is really great, but there are products out there that I find more moisturizing and nourishing.
So then let's talk about your top-five products that you would recommend to anyone going through a double-process treatment.
Besides the Rahua shampoo and conditioner I mentioned, I also really love their deep-conditioning treatment. It's a mask, so on your clean, wet hair in the shower, instead of your conditioner, leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes and rinse it out.
What do you do for those 15 minutes? Don't you get bored?
Shave your legs, have a nice time. I think the problem is people really make hair masks a chore and that's why they don't do it. Just using it how you would a regular conditioner but giving it some extra time makes it much less of an annoying to-do. You should also use a leave-in conditioner once you've washed everything out. It'll give you extra moisture. I love this one called Milk by Reverie, it's a really nice creamy consistency, and it makes your hair really nice and soft. I have really fine hair and I put a ton in my hair. It's really great for wavy-haired girls too, on day two of no hair washing.
What about hair oil?
Hair oil can be really great, but I personally feel they're more cosmetic than they are reparative. But there is one I like: Christophe Robin has this lavender hair oil mask that is so heavy and amazing, you just want to bathe in it. It's actually probably the only oil product I ever use. Lena, the owner of Suite Caroline, was a double-process blonde for a while and she would take a little bit of that and put it in her hair as a styling and moisturizing leave-in product.
Since I now trust you with my life, I was wondering if you could help me decide whether some products are worth investing in or whether they're no-nos for my double-process journey. First, Oribe's Silverati Shampoo, Silverati Conditioner, and the Gold Lust mask. I've had these in my cart for a while but didn't know if they were appropriate.
Emaly: I just feel like I'm personally wary of anything that has tone, like the silver products. The mask you can for sure use, I'm sure it's great.
What about this Christophe Robin aloe vera hydrating mist? It intrigued me.
Dude, honestly, everything Christophe Robin makes is the shit. It really is. That one is a really nice, nice, light detangler.
Okay, well I'll buy everything he's ever made then. What about this Ouai leave-in conditioner?
I really like the consistency of it. Any creamy, milky leave-in conditioners, I'm in support of. I haven't tried their hair masks but I've heard great things.
Last: any double process do's and don'ts? I've been reading all this stuff about how I shouldn't go into a pool. Is that true?
Listen, live your life. But to be perfectly honest, sun, ocean water, and chlorine all have the possibility of altering your color. So, what you should do is wet your hair with tap water first — the regular water will act as a sort of sealant before you come in contact with the damaging stuff. Rio, look at your hair. She's really blonde. Do you love it?
I really love it. Emaly, thank you so much.
Before you leave, I really think you should get a haircut with Shelby Samaria as well. If the health of your bleached hair is a priority, it's really important you get all the ends trimmed and make sure you're coming out looking as soft and shiny as possible. She's also the best and I know you're going to love her cuts.
Will she make my bob look French? That's all that really matters to me.
She will definitely make it look as French as possible.

Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar was born on 14th April 1891 into a Dalit Mahar family of Western India. Born as an untouchable, he was subjected to discrimination his entire life. Even when he returned from London as an educated scholar with a Ph.D., he still faced humiliation and discrimination. Because noticeably, education had no meaning to the caste system. Education in no way could change your social hierarchy, contrary to today's popular opinion.
All his life, Ambedkar rigorously advocated for social freedom for Dalits. His legacy as a socio-political reformer continues to inspire many even today. Annihilation of caste was his most radical work and it hits home. The unfortunate thing is that even after 84 years of its publication, Annihilation of Caste (AoC) has not been able to have the same impact that Ambedkar would have imagined.
AoC was originally written as a speech for the annual conference of the Jat Pat Todak Mandal, a social reformist organization. However, it was later published by Ambedkar himself because the Mandal didn't approve of some parts of the speech which denounced the Vedas and cited Ambedkar's inclination towards leaving Hinduism. While the Mandal wanted to abolish caste, they were ultimately, not in support of giving up Hinduism altogether.
Yes, AoC is an attack on Hinduism. It questions some of the very core principles of Hinduism which are stated in the Vedas and the Smritis. But for Hindus to dismiss its authenticity and ignore its existence only because it calls them out for some of the inhumane practices that their religion approves of, is unfair.
"You must not only discard the Shastras, you must deny their authority, as did Buddha and Nanak. You must have courage to tell the Hindus that what is wrong with them is their religion—the religion which has produced in them this notion of the sacredness of Caste. Will you show that courage?"
― B.R. Ambedkar, Annihilation of Caste
Growing up in the 21st century, for many of us, caste never played any role in our lives which is why today, many young people believe caste-baste discrimination hardly exists in Urban India. Contrary to this view each year we see the atrocities against Dalits rising. At such times, reading AoC becomes almost necessary. A thought-provoking text, it will make you question the very nature of your beliefs and practices as a Hindu.
The fault lies in the education system. History as we read it in school textbooks is drastically tweaked. Rarely is there any mention of Dalit struggles and some of the references have even been removed. Even Ambedkar finds his way into the textbooks as the father of the Indian Constitution but all the work he did all his life to improve the position of Dalits has been systematically excluded.
On the other hand, we see chapters and chapters on Gandhi. While what he did for us to gain independence cannot be undermined, his character and thoughts as a person have been greatly skewed to give him the stand of a saint- a mahatma, which as Ambedkar believed, he was not. The Doctor and the Saint by Arundhati Roy which serves as an introduction to the annotated version of AoC throws light on this subject. It highlights the differences between Mahatma (The Saint) Gandhi and Dr. Ambedkar (The Doctor).
While Gandhi, a Hindu orthodox wanted to abolish untouchability, he was never against the abolition of the caste system. In his own words- "I believe that if Hindu society has been able to stand, it is because it is founded on the caste system… To destroy the caste system and adopt the Western European social system means that Hindus must give up the principle of hereditary occupation which is the soul of the caste system."
The Doctor and the Saint will hit you like an epiphany because throughout our school lives we've seen Gandhi in a very different light. It brings out a darker side of Gandhi which is mostly kept hidden to preserve his idealist image. Since it is clear that our education has failed us, the onus lies upon us to educate ourselves because one cannot fight for what one does not know. And to educate ourselves about caste, AoC is an essential read.
While we see most upper castes today breaking the caste rules to fit their needs- I mean how many Brahmins today know Sanskrit? How many of them are vegetarian?- but when it comes to marriages even today the first question that arises in their minds is what caste is the man/woman. Even in educated households, marrying someone from the lower castes is an unspeakable thing to do. Ironically, one of the solutions Ambedkar prescribed for breaking the caste system in AoC is inter-caste marriages.
Perhaps one reason why Gandhi is celebrated so much more is because he was successful in his struggle to free Indians from British rule. Meanwhile, Ambedkar wasn't. He failed to free the Dalits from upper caste oppression. Nonetheless, his job was much harder than Gandhi's. While Gandhi set out to free India from an oppressive rule which was only 2 centuries old, Ambedkar set out to abolish an oppressive system that had existed since times unknown, all the way back to the age of 'Lord Rama'.
"Every Congressman (in general, any person) who repeats the dogma of Mill that one country is not fit to rule another country must admit that one class is not fit to rule another class."
― B.R. Ambedkar, Annihilation of Caste
It is also true that we've failed Ambedkar. No ignorance is not bliss, one must not live in denial because the problem of caste is very real. The least we can do is acknowledge its existence. In the final words of Ambedkar- "Educate, Agitate, Organize."

How to Pick a Medical Billing and Coding Online Program in Jamul 91935
Now that you have decided to become part of the healthcare profession by training to be a medical billing and coding specialist in Jamul CA, it's crucial that you find the appropriate program so that you receive the necessary education to guarantee your success. As you no doubt know, healthcare is one of the fastest growing sectors in the USA, and more and more options are available both on campus and online to obtain the training that you need. But just where does one start? A number of potential students begin by looking for schools that are within commuting distance of their residences and then comparing tuition. Or they may search the internet looking for online schools and go with the cheapest one. But while location and cost are relevant factors when making your determination, they should not be the sole ones when researching medical billing and coding schools. Such qualifiers as accreditation and reputation must be considered also. We will review a checklist of topics that you need to ask the schools you are assessing so that you can find out what you need to know before making your selection. Before we do that, let's take a look at what medical billers and coders do and the educational and certification options offered.
Medical Coding Job Functions
Medical coders are on the front line of the billing systems for Jamul CA private practices and hospitals. They have the responsibility to analyze the medical records of patients and convert all services provided into universal codes. These services can be for diagnosis, medical or dental procedures, or any medical supplies or equipment used. There are various codes that are used in the conversion, including:
- CPT codes (Current Procedural Terminology).
- ICD codes (International Classification of Diseases).
- HCPCS codes (Healthcare Common Procedure Coding).
Medical coders depend on information from sources such as physician and nursing notes, patient charts, and lab and radiology reports. Medical Coders must not only know what services were provided in total for accurate reporting, but must have a functioning knowledge of all government and private payer regulations that influence coding also. Improperly coded claims may result in services not being paid for, services being paid at a lower rate, or the physician or facility being penalized for improper or fraudulent billing. Since improper coding can in fact cost Jamul CA hospitals and doctors multiple thousands of dollars in revenue each year, a reliable medical coder is an important asset for any healthcare team. They can operate in every type of healthcare facility, including private practices, clinics, hospitals and critical care centers. It is not uncommon for professional medical coders to work at home as an independent contractor or offsite employee.
Medical Billing Job Duties
As vital as the medical coder's role is, it would be for nothing without the contribution of the medical biller whose labors bring in revenue. Medical billing clerks are extremely important to Jamul CA healthcare organizations and are literally responsible for keeping their doors open. Often the coder and biller are the same person within a healthcare organization, but they can also be 2 independent specialists. Once the coder has performed his or her job, the biller utilizes the codes provided to fill out and submit claim forms to insurance companies, Medicare or Medicaid. After being adjusted by the applicable entity, patients can then be invoiced for deductibles and additional out of pocket costs. On a routine basis, a medical billing clerk might also do any of the following:
- Confirm health insurance benefits for patients and help them with billing questions or concerns
- Follow up on patient claims submitted and appeal any that have been denied
- Work as a mediator between the healthcare provider, the insurance companies and the patients for proper claim settlement
- Produce and control Accounts Receivables reports
- Generate and manage unpaid patient collections accounts
Medical billers not only work for family practices, but also Jamul CA emergency care facilities, hospitals, medical groups or nursing homes. They may work in every kind of healthcare facility that depends on the revenues generated from billing third party payers and patients.
Medical Coding and Billing Online Instruction and Certification
It's important that you obtain your instruction from a reputable school, whether it's a trade school, vocational school or community college. While it is not required in most cases to earn a professional certification, the program you choose should be accredited (more on the advantages of accreditation later). The majority of colleges just require that you have either a high school diploma or a GED to be eligible. The most expedient way to becoming either a medical coder or biller (or both) is to earn a certificate, which usually takes about 1 year to finish. An Associate Degree is an alternative for a more comprehensive education, which for almost all programs calls for 2 years of studies. Bachelor's Degrees for medical coding and billing are not widely available. When your education has been concluded, although not mandated in the majority of states, you may wish to attain a professional certification. Certification is an excellent means for those new to the profession to show potential employers that they are not only qualified but dedicated to their occupation. A few of the organizations that make available certifications are:
- American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC).
- Board of Medical Specialty Coding (BMSC).
- The Professional Association of Healthcare Coding Specialists (PAHCS).
- American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA).
Graduating from an accredited medical coding and billing course, along with attaining a professional certification, are the best ways to advance your new profession and succeed in the rapid growing medical care field.
Medical Biller and Coder Online Classes
If you are looking for convenience and the flexibility of attending classes from home, then selecting an online medical billing and coding program may be a good option. They can be especially appealing to individuals in Jamul CA who plan on attending school while still working or have other obligations that make attending classes on campus difficult. And as an additional advantage, online colleges are in many cases cheaper than the standard classroom options. Expenses for such things as tuition, study materials and commuting may be decreased or eliminated. But be careful, as not all online courses are reputable. That's why it's important to confirm that any online course you choose is accredited to guarantee a quality education. We will cover the advantages of accreditation in the next segment. Just make sure to verify that any online college you are researching is accredited by one of the national accrediting agencies, for instance the Council on Higher Education Accreditation. So if you are disciplined enough to apply yourself to this type of learning, then earning your degree or certificate online might be the right choice for you.
Points to Ask Online Medical Coding and illing Training Programs
Once you have a better idea what a medical biller and coder does, in addition to what education options are available, you must start the process of comparing schools. But since there a large number of training options available at community colleges and vocational, technical and trade schools online and within the Jamul CA area, you need to have a ready list of questions to evaluate each one. And when you include all of the online programs that offer medical billing and coding classes, the task can become rather formidable. As we have already covered, cost and location are going to be significant factors, especially if you have a modest budget and will be traveling to classes from your Jamul residence. And whether or not the school and program are accredited should be part of your vetting procedure as well. So let's take a look at several of the additional questions that you should ask the schools you are reviewing so that you can compare each one and make the ideal choice.
Is the Online Program Accredited? It's crucial that the school and program you choose are accredited by a recognized accrediting agency, such as the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools. If it's an online college, it can also earn accreditation from the Distance Education and Training Council, which focuses on distance or online education. Not only will accreditation help ensure that the training you get will be of the highest quality, it might help with your future employment in Jamul CA also. Many Jamul healthcare facilities will only hire entry level candidates that have completed an accredited medical coding and billing training program. And financial aid and student loans are often only offered for schools that have obtained an accreditation.
What is the Online School's Reputation? Before selecting a medical coding and billing program, check out what its ranking and reputation are among other schools. This is particularly relevant if you have no experience in the field, since potential employers will mainly be evaluating you based on the quality of your training. As we have addressed, confirming that the school is accredited is a first step. Checking with school rating organizations, for instance U.S. News and World Report, can verify the quality of the school as well. Another option is to call some Jamul CA healthcare organizations that you might have an interest in working for and ask which colleges they recommend. Bear in mind that even if the college itself does not have an exceptional reputation, its medical coding and billing program may still be highly regarded.
Is there an Employment Referral Program? Obtaining employment after graduating in your new profession might be difficult without the support of a job placement program. Find out if the schools you are looking at have job assistance programs in the Jamul CA area and what their job placement rates are. A high and rapid placement rate is a good indication that the billing and coding school has a significant network of medical care employers where they can place their graduates. It also implies that the school's graduates are sought after in the marketplace.
Where is the College's Location ? If you are intending on commuting to class from your Jamul CA home, then the location of the school will be of significant importance. Of course if you choose an medical coding and billing online program, then the location of the school will not be a factor. One thing to remember is that if you go to classes at a junior or community college, most charge a higher tuition for students that live outside of their districts. So you might want to first consider those colleges that are within your local area.
What is the Total Expense? Medical coding and billing certification programs can differ in cost based on the type of credential acquired and the amount of training provided. But remember, tuition is not the only expense for your education. Expenses also consist of such items as the cost of supplies, books and commuting. Financial assistance might be available to help reduce some of the expense, so make sure to check with the college's financial aid department to see what is available in 91935. Naturally if you decide to enroll in an online college, some of these added costs, particularly for commuting may be minimized or even eliminated.
Are Classes Accessible that Fit your Schedule? Many students continue working while attending school and require a convenient class schedule. If you can only attend classes at night or on weekends near Jamul CA, verify that they are offered at those times. If you can only attend on a part-time basis, verify that the program you decide on offers that option. Also, find out what the procedure is for making up classes missed because of sickness, work or family emergencies.

Own a Piece of History With Collectible Tobacco Tins
Collectible tobacco tins continue to inspire a generation of collectors who are fascinated by antique products and artwork. Many preowned antique tobacco tins can even serve decorative purposes. eBay is the right place to find inexpensive and rare tobacco tins.
What are some well-known themes on tobacco tins?Manufacturers often produced tins with a particular theme as a trademark. Some of the generic themes included paintings of animals and plant life. The lithographed artwork outside the vintage tobacco tins for sale is important because most brands relied on the artwork to stand out from the competition.
Similarly, some of the well-known brands also used these artworks to target specific audiences. Images of cigarettes with real tipped gold were highlighted across vintage tobacco tins that targeted wealthy men. On the other hand, Muratti is a brand that used tobacco tins to promote their cigarettes to young ladies.
What are some naval-themed designs?For collectors of tobacco tins for sale, the naval-inspired theme of sailors and yachts are valued items. The theme was the center of Players brand of cigarettes. These designs highlighted a sailor framed by a life preserver. Such was the impact of the naval theme that other brands started following the Players promotional techniques.
Ogden was the first to produce the Royal Navy cigarettes theme, which also made its way to tins. In addition, brands like Gold Leaf, Crown, and Hignetts also used similar promotional tactics. Pilot flake tins, which depicted a captain on the wheels on a boat listing to the starboard side, were a big hit with the public.
Types of antique tobacco tins on eBayTobacco tins were produced in a small number of shapes and size. Accordingly, almost all tobacco tins on eBay can be easily classified into three categories. The most common among these are cylinders and boxes that were mainly used to store tobacco. Once the tobacco was consumed, these boxes were also utilized to store a variety of other products; therefore, you may still see them in stores and kitchens.
Small flat and concave tins were manufactured for packet tobacco and for promotional purposes. Manufacturers produced these in large numbers because a discarded tin was often used by another person to store tobacco. A third form is a cut plug tin or a lunch-box tin that came with a handle. These tins were common in offices and schools.

Triple superphosphate shortens the time period and accelerates the ripening of crop, which in turn allows farmer to harvest several crops in a year. Increase in consumption of the cereals and grains coupled with surging population further drive the growth of the triple superphosphate market. According to Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, global cereal production is projected to increase by 367 Mt to reach 3,053 Mt in 2028. Maize production is projected to increase the most by 181 Mt, followed by wheat (+86 Mt) subsequently raising the demand for triple superphosphate.
Triple Superphosphate Market Segment Analysis – By Application
Base fertilization segment holds the largest share of more than 50% in the triple superphosphate market in 2019. Fertilizers applied to the soil before planting of crops is referred as base fertilization. Phosphorus is a major nutrient that are not readily mobile in the soil. Thus, applying triple superphosphate after the plantation of crop tend phosphorus nutrients to remain in the upper layer of the soil and do not reach the active root zone. Base fertilization is preferred over top dressing as it allow penetration of nutrients deep into the soil and increase their availability to the crop.
COVID-19 proved to be a challenge for the growth of triple superphosphate market. The outbreak of corona virus has postponed deliveries of triple superphosphate and other food equipment from yards, due to shortages of staff or supplies, as well as lockdown. Industries are shuttered all around the world and the lack of manpower has led many manufacturing companies to stop their production. Farmers are facing difficulties in selling their crops. In addition, World Trade Organization forecasted that the global trade will fall by between 13% and 32% in 2020 as the COVID 19 pandemic disrupts normal economic activity and life around the world, subsequently affecting the growth of the triple superphosphate market.
Triple Superphosphate Market Segment Analysis – Geography
Among the regions, the Asia-Pacific region is projected to witness the highest CAGR of 8% in the triple superphosphate market during the forecast period. This growth is attributed to the growing food demand linked with the increasing population and decrease in landmass across the country owing to growing industrialization. For instance, according to China's Ministry of Natural Resources, the country's arable land declined by 60,900 hectares and fell to 134.86 million hectares in 2017. Thus, rapid industrialization and urbanization has decreased the agricultural landmass. Hence, in the less landmass, farmers are focusing to gain maximum profit along with better crop, which in turn further driving the usage of the triple superphosphate in farming. As, TSP helps to enhance the crop quality and better production. For instance, according to the trade map import of triple superphosphate in Japan increased by 26% reaching 26,528 tons in 2019. Furthermore, growing population has escalated the demand for food. According to the Indian governmental report, food Processing Industry in India contributed approx. $3.92 Bn to India's exports in the year 2017-18 and total consumption of the food and beverage segment domestically is expected to reach $1.142 Tn by 2025, substantially augmenting the demand for triple superphosphates.

Triple Superphosphate Market Challenges
Over dosages of TPS leads to serious health problems and growth of plants
Although triple superphosphate helps in formation of strong root systems and better development of the flowers or fruits, but over usage of triple superphosphate brings serious side effects. Triple superphosphate is rich in phosphorus nutrients and excessive use of phosphorus in the soil slows the growth of plants by blocking the absorption of both iron and zinc. Triple superphosphate is also not suitable for blending with urea because of the reactions that causes deterioration of physical condition. Moreover, triple superphosphate is water soluble that pollutes underground water and may cause serious problems in humans including kidney damage and osteoporosis. EPA's controlled emission standards for the production of granular triple superphosphate also hinders the growth of the triple superphosphate market.

NPR's Wade Goodwyn reports that a former federal prosecutor in the Branch Davidian case says he expects to be indicted on charges of making false statements to federal investigators and obstructing justice. Bill Johnston was an assistant U.S. Attorney in Waco, when he wrote a letter last year to Attorney General Janet Reno, alleging a cover-up in the Justice Department of evidence that federal agents used incendiary tear gas canisters on the morning that the Branch Davidian compound went up in flames. Johnston says the indictment is revenge for his going public with his allegations.

'Whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.' Mark 10:43 NKJV
Pontius Pilate had an opportunity to acquit Jesus of any wrongdoing, but instead he called for a basin and washed his hands of the entire matter. His attitude was, 'I'm not getting involved.' And a lot of people have that same attitude. But not Jesus. The night before His death He called for a basin of water and washed His disciples' feet. He taught them: 'Whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.' (Mark 10:42-43 NKJV) Peter objected because foot-washing was a duty designated to the lowest servant in Middle Eastern households, and he considered it beneath Christ's dignity. Catherine Marshall writes: 'We, the disciples, are to be the servants, I want to insist along with Peter. But Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me." (John 13:8 NKJV) This is a stunning and stupendous thought. Unless I can believe in this much love for me, unless I can and will accept Him by faith as my servant as well as my God, unless I can truly know that it's my good He seeks… then I cannot have His companionship.' This is so contrary to the world's philosophy where everybody wants to lead and nobody wants to serve. But to be like Jesus is to be a servant, for that's what He called Himself. Never have goals so lofty that they blind you to the needs of those around you. Without a servant's heart, you'll be tempted to use your gift for personal gain, or to exempt yourself from areas you consider beneath you. The truth is, the only way to serve God is by serving those He loves.
