Minimalism and the Marie Kondo effect
by Martyn Lowder
What's Going On Here?
Netflix's 'Tidying Up With Marie Kondo' is the latest series in a growing trend looking at tackling our compulsive obsession with stuff. But with minimalism involving lots of 'throwing away' and 'letting go', we want to check out what this means for our planet.
What is Minimalism?
Japanese icon Marie Kondo and the American self titled The Minimalists, Joshua and Ryan are just a few of latest trend setters that are bringing this new way of thinking to the masses. Minimalism (or the "KonMari" method) is about cutting back on the number of things you own and living more with less.
By removing unnecessary clutter from your life you can make space and appreciate the items that 'spark joy' or serve a purpose. Yes, you might have to get rid of some things at the beginning but this new outlook will keep you from buying unwanted crap in the future.
Consumerism and Climate Change
It is no secret that consumerism has contributed a lot to climate change. For us to stop global warming we need to drastically change our lifestyles.
In addition to the strain on resources, there is a heap of research out there that tells us buying stuff doesn't make us happy. In fact, more and more studies are linking materialism with depression.
Research from the BBC shows that charities including Age UK, Barnado's and the British Heart Foundation have reported an increase in donations since the show's launch.
"We normally see an increase in donations in January, but this year it's been incredible," says Oya Altinbas, who manages Sue Ryder's Camden branch.
Be Curious!
Do you ever buy a pack of batteries knowing full well that there are some in the house but you can't find them because of all that clutter? Do you ever find yourself buying a new pack of Tupperware because you are fed up with the 'who's lid does this belong to' game? Sound like you? If so, then we have some top tips to help you when sorting out your stuff:

Hi everybody!
Now and then I encounter situations where a machine check exception results in the program getting stuck in IVOR1_Vector which has no implementation.
I would very much like to be able to analyze the exception information to track down the reason why this is happening.
More specifically I would like to know:
1) I can't seem to find the exception registers (MCSR in particular) in the register lists, are they at all available to be read in Design Studio?
2) Is there some sort of example code that actually does something, that can replace the default IVOR1_Vector loop?
Any information and tips would be highly appreciated.
Best Regards

Measures to protect exhibition participants
Exhibitions differ significantly from other types of events in terms of visitor density and event duration in particular. At trade fairs there are fewer people per square metre in a hall and the number of visitors is also spread over several days, unlike at a concert, for example – here many people are very close to each other and together in one room for only a few hours. Managing the density of participants is therefore the key to protecting the trade visitors. NürnbergMesse will thus be able to make it possible for trade fair participants to observe the required minimum social distancing and still achieve their objectives at the event.
Ticketing will be a key element in future measures to control and monitor the density of participants at the Chillventa exhibition.
The following regulations will apply at NürnbergMesse with immediate effect:
Trade visitors will only be able to obtain their tickets in advance via the online ticket shop. Tickets will be valid only for a particular exhibition day. Tickets for the whole duration of the exhibition will no longer be available. However, it will be possible to visit the fair for several days. It is then necessary to register for each desired day of visit. There will be no door sales.
All exhibition participants will be subject to full registration with immediate effect. That means key personal details must be provided at the time of online registration. This applies to all visitors, exhibitors, media representatives and VIPs.
A maximum number of visitors will be determined in advance for each day of the exhibition. The total will be calculated based on event size, number of stand personnel, and event duration. The peak visitor numbers on individual exhibition days that have previously been typical will be avoided. Visitor numbers will be evenly distributed over the duration of the exhibition, making it possible to observe social distancing requirements.
Protecting yourself on-site
NürnbergMesse will implement the following hygiene procedures to avoid transmission, in addition to measures such as placing hand sanitizer dispensers throughout the venue:
At all counters at the exhibition venue (info counter, congress counter, press counter, cloakroom, etc.), we will install glass or plastic dividers similar to those already in regular daily use in many areas.
We will also introduce contactless payment as a matter of course in all areas (catering, kiosks, cloakrooms, parking area). Here, too, we are following the proven solutions adopted in the retail sector.
There will no longer be ticket counters for entry to the exhibition (see Preregistration).
In addition to the social distancing rules that apply in general, at all our events we will follow the current recommendations by the Robert Koch-Institut (RKI) and the Bavarian state government, and will require all visitors to wear masks.
We recommend the use of basic OP masks with no filter (not FFP2) or "community masks" (fabric, sewn). NürnbergMesse will supply masks to participants who do not have the appropriate masks when they enter the exhibition venue.
Until further notice, stand parties during the exhibition will no longer be permitted, since the required social distancing cannot be sensibly enforced here. The same applies to exhibition parties, e.g. exhibitor evenings.

Inspiring Kitchen Backsplash Ideas for Your Next Renovation
Whether your dream kitchen is more on the rustic, cozy side or more modern and sleek, these tile designs will surely have you covered. Although countertops mainly garner most of the attention when it comes to kitchen design, the backsplash is often overlooked. Whatever way you decide to go with your tile, there no going wrong with the ideas we have rounded up below. For a timeless look opt for a classic glass or ceramic finish, or if you want to make more of a statement patterned tiles with a bold hue will definitely draw the attention to the kitchen. The options for backsplash material and types are absolutely endless. Here is some inspiration before you update your kitchen backsplash.
1. Ornate Tiling
In an all-white kitchen, you want at least one element of design to stand out, so why not it be the backsplash? opt for ornate tilling to make a major statement in your new kitchen.
2. Exposed Brick
If you are looking for a more rustic vibe, exposed brick is the to go. Exposed brick makes for a surprising backsplash alternative and makes your kitchen appear more open.
3. Mix Materials
Don't be afraid to mix materials. Mixing various materials such as metal and tile, create a custom look. Or opt for copper accents in the tile that will perfectly accent the copper inset.
4. Marble
Want to make a striking statement in your kitchen? Uncut slabs of marble to be eye-catching. It's the kind of material that is very soft and feathery looking. Marble backsplash is easy to clean, and it will make your kitchen look even more elegant and stylish.
5. Stone with Dynamic Natural Pattern
If your someone who wants to create an artful effect, choose a stone with a dynamic natural pattern. When laid symmetrically, the natural stone's wide variety of beautiful colors and textures will surely highlight your kitchen countertops and cupboards beautifully.
6. Make an Impact
To make an impact in your kitchen, break the mold and tile your wall to the ceiling. Since more homeowners are doing away with wall cabinetry and opting for open shelves, ceiling-height Backsplash has been on the rise in 2018. Ceiling-height backsplashes will create a focal point in your kitchen and give it a fresh and modern look.
7. Creates A Focal Point
If your working with dark cabinetry, choose a light backsplash to create a focal point in your kitchen. A nice light backsplash is ideal for bringing more brightness into your kitchen. Light gray, white, cream, and light tan are all suitable for a kitchen that employs an earth-tone color scheme.
8. Dark Backsplash
If your working with an all-white kitchen, consider a dark backsplash to bring some drama into the space. Because there are so many dark backsplashes available in every color imaginable, it's so easy to sing one that will match your dark kitchen perfectly.
9. Glossy Subway Tile
If you want to stick to an all-white palette choose a glossy subway tile that will give an airy feel to your kitchen. Glossy tile gives off a pretty, shiny, and traditional finish.
10. For Lovers of Color
If you're a lover of color, a bright bold hue will instantly liven up your kitchen and give it that wow factor. Keep the rest of your décor neutral and your unique backsplash will surely make a statement.

The tech skills shortage crisis continues and since the future of the tech workforce depends on the next generation, we go back to school to see what the industry is doing today to bridge the digital skills gap.
As September rolls around again, summer will soon be well behind us, but winter is the least of our problems in the tech industry… unless your computer is outside of course. The skills shortage crisis continues, and it needs our attention. There are currently 17% more tech job openings than available workers in the market, and by 2020, five million positions could go unfilled, that's a cost of $160 billion a year to the economy!
The future of the tech workforce is dependent on the next generation. We did a study in 2016 on young people's perceptions of the tech industry. This gave us some interesting insight into what they really thought about tech, and although things have progressed, there's still a long way to go. As the new school year is about to start, let's have a look at what's being done in the industry today to bridge the skills gap.
One of the biggest reasons for the skills gap is still the lack of girls involved in STEM. Women still only occupy 22% of core STEM occupations in the UK, so there's still some way to go. This disparity starts before they enter the workforce as in 2018, only 50 females studied computing at A-Level compared to 314 males. This is growing, but very slowly, as the number of females studying computing has increased from 12% to 13% this year. The CAS Females and Computing 2018 report showed that girls do not choose to study computing or ICT because they found it boring and perceived it to be too difficult. To inspire young people, and girls in particular, to get into STEM, it's important to get them interested early before these tech stereotypes are too ingrained.
Parents can drive the initiative to reduce the STEM stigma before they even get to school. There are several free websites that teach coding for kids. These sites have gamified coding so that kids feel like they're playing a standard computer game whilst they learn how to code. Other companies such as LEGO, have created toy robots that kids can code themselves using a smart device. It has also introduced initiatives as part of LEGO Education Solutions to provide help in schools and early learning facilities. We think this is a great way to introduce children into coding and make it easy to understand.
Part of the skills shortage problem is that students aren't going down a tech route, which ultimately means they won't progress onto tech apprenticeships, courses or study tech subjects at university. Last year, the ICT GCSE was phased out in favour of a more specialised Computer Science course. However, this year it has resulted in 140,000 fewer students obtaining a GCSE in a technology subject.
To combat this issue, the Department for Education plans to invest £84m in the next 4 years in training 8,000 computer science teachers to try and drive up participation in the subject. Various organisations work with schools and businesses to improve education for STEM. STEM Learning is working to reverse the impact of fewer GCSE pupils taking STEM subjects and apprenticeships by training secondary school teachers on how to give careers and application advice. All About STEM aims to help all young people understand the excitement of STEM subjects and why it's important in the outside world. Universities are also collaborating with early education institutes to make STEM topics fun and engaging. For example, Warwick University has recently supported a national STEM competition in schools.
This suggests that the way STEM subjects are taught needs to change to engage students and make it more interesting, but also show why the topic is significant in the outside world.
Reports show that future classrooms could be a lot more hands-on through using AI, experimentation and robotics. With these future developments, there's plenty of opportunities to diversify teaching methods, for example by implementing gamification.
While you wait for the next tech-savvy generation to flood into your workforce, you'll need to compete for what's currently out there to hire the best tech talent. That means you need a robust tech recruitment process that is streamlined and optimised! Get in touch with us today to see how our ShowTech tech assessments can help you with your technical testing and become more competitive in screening, assessing and selecting your tech talent.

Offer flex time or remote-working polices
With technology like video conferencing and cloud storage, employees around the world can share ideas and files as if they were right next to each other. These advances in communication have made it possible for many industries to operate with some or all of their employees working remotely. Consider if your company is in one of these industries; whether there's a need for employees to actually be in the office to be productive. If not, allow your employees—especially parents—the chance to utilize flex time, work remotely, or work part-time.
Offer child-care
If you can't give your employees the option to work remotely, consider offering childcare at your workplace. This will not only allow your employees to continue their regular work hours, but it will give them peace of mind knowing their child is close by. If you have a large enough company, you can invest in an on-site daycare program. If you don't have enough employees to make this kind of initiative worth the investment, you can partner with nearby companies to create a program.
Offer leniency for new parents
When new parents do return to the office, remember that they are juggling their workload with their responsibilities as a new parent. There's a good chance they're functioning on very little sleep. Respect that by not coming down too hard on them. At the same time, make sure you're not belittling them or depriving them of difficult tasks because they are a parent. Let them dictate what sort of workload they can take on.
A parent-friendly environment can help immensely in employee retention and moral, so it's very beneficial to ensure your office is parent-friendly.

This presentation concentrates on the latter process. Ridges are elongated accumulations of broken sea ice. Rafting is another form of deformed ice. During rafting, one ice sheet overrides another ice sheet. Several models of ridging and rafting have been proposed: energy based models, models concentrating on the kinematics of the processes, and numerical models. Also laboratory experiments have been conducted to study ridging and rafting. In essence, all ridging and rafting initiates when two ice sheets are pushed together. In rafting, one ice sheet slides under another ice sheet, and we get two (or more) overlapped ice sheets. In ridging, ice blocks sequentially break of the ice sheets and form a ridge. Our experimental and numerical work suggests that all ridging initiates as rafting. Also, as the ice-ice friction coefficient is larger than zero, a rafting process will eventually turn into the formation of a pile of broken ice blocks, a ridge. Therefore, rafting and ridging should not be considered as two totally different deformation processes, but rather different stages of one process.

Microsoft released two bulletins addressing three vulnerabilities on its first Patch Tuesday of 2011 yesterday.
As revealed by SC Magazine last week, the first bulletin (MS11-001) is rated as 'important' and addresses a vulnerability in Windows Backup Manager, while the second (MS11-002) is rated as 'critical' and addresses two vulnerabilities affecting all supported versions of Windows. The first vulnerability is rated critical for Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 and the second rated important for all supported versions of Windows Server.
Carlene Chmaj, senior security response communications manager at Microsoft, said that it is not aware of any proof of concept code or of any active attacks seeking to exploit these vulnerabilities.
Looking firstly at MS11-002, Jason Miller, data team manager at Shavlik Technologies, said: "This advisory was originally released on 23rd August 2010 and we have seen multiple patches released for this issue. During the December 2010 Patch Tuesday, Microsoft released five bulletins addressing this issue with various components of the Windows operating system.
"MS11-001 fixes a DLL preloading issue in the Windows Backup Manager component in Windows Vista. With this vulnerability, opening a legitimate Windows Backup Catalog file in the same directory as a malicious DLL file can lead to remote code execution.
Wolfgang Kandek, CTO at Qualys, said: "MS11-001 provides a patch for a DLL preloading issue in the Windows Backup Tool. While DLL preloading is an old systemic issue in Windows and many other operating systems, it gained new attention in August of last year, when many vulnerable applications were identified.
"Given the scope of the DLL preloading vulnerabilities we highly recommend implementing the workaround that Microsoft describes in Security Advisory 2269637 and KB2264107, which neutralises the most common attack vectors on the operating system level."
Joshua Talbot, security intelligence manager at Symantec Security Response, said: "The vulnerability in the Backup Manager DLL that was also patched has exploit code publicly available, but we haven't seen any attacks attempt to use it in the wild.
"Because an exploit would require a user to take some fairly uncommon steps, such as opening up a Windows backup or '.wbcat' file from an SMB or WebDAV server, it is less appealing as an attack vector than other vulnerabilities out there that require much less of the user."
Looking at MS11-002, Miller said that this is the first bulletin that administrators should address as it affects Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) on all supported operating systems and addresses two vulnerabilities.
He said: "The first vulnerability cannot be exploited through Microsoft software. The vulnerability may be exploited through third party software if a user browses to a malicious website. The second vulnerability addressed by this bulletin can be exploited through Internet Explorer if an attacker can gain remote code execution if they are able to convince a user to visit a malicious website containing specially crafted ADO structures using the Internet Explorer browser."
Kandek said that this is the more important of the two bulletins as it covers a critically rated vulnerability in the MDAC OS component, affects all versions of the Windows operating system and can be triggered by browsing to a malicious website.
In conclusion on the patches released, Miller said: "There have been quite a few Security Advisories published by Microsoft in the past month. Many people will be surprised to see the low number of bulletins released this month, this is due to a couple of factors. Microsoft is seeing a 'limited number of attacks' on these vulnerabilities and if Microsoft receives reports of attacks on these vulnerabilities increasing substantially, they will accelerate the patch creation and testing process.
"Secondly, each bulletin/patch is a change in the code, if the code change is not given time to be properly tested, the patch could have adverse effects. In this scenario, the vulnerability is fixed, but normal functionality could be adversely affected."
However the main conversation topic this month has been on the zero-day flaw in Internet Explorer and when a patch is likely to be released.
Paul Henry, forensic and security analyst at Lumension, said: "All in all, today's light patch load is nothing to get excited about. It remains to be seen whether or not Microsoft will provide out-of-band patches for the zero-day issues that are poised to wreak havoc in enterprise environments or if we will have to play 'hurry up and wait' until Patch Tuesday in February."
Chmaj said that Microsoft had revised Security Advisory 2488013 to include an additional workaround in the form of a FixIt package that uses the Windows Application Compatibility Toolkit to protect customers from this vulnerability. However this workaround only applies to systems that have the MS10-090 update for Internet Explorer installed.
"The vulnerability discussed in the advisory occurs when an attacker creates a malicious CSS file that points to itself and provides it to Internet Explorer. This action corrupts memory and could be exploited. Customers are encouraged to review the new workaround and assess it for their particular environment," she said.
Andrew Storms, director of security operations at nCircle, said: "Instead of talking about the number of bulletins being patched today, everyone's mind is on the five vulnerabilities that are not being patched. Microsoft always delivers clear concise communications in advance of the patch, so no one should be surprised that none of the five vulnerabilities are on this month's patch list.
"The most severe of the outstanding vulnerabilities, the recursive style sheet load bug in IE, was just made public in late December. That means there is no way Microsoft could deliver a January patch, unless they knew about the bug well before it went public."

Chilwell Shell Filling Factory Explosion
During the First World War Britain needed millions of shells to fire on the Western Front. Many of those shells were manufactured around the country and delivered to a specially built factory in Chilwell near Nottingham, where they were filled with explosives.
This was a highly dangerous operation. In the early evening on July 1st 1918 disaster struck. Eight tons of explosives detonated, tearing through the Mixing House and TNT Mill. It was one of Britain's worst wartime civilian catastrophes, causing the biggest loss of life in a single explosion of the First World War. By the time the dust had settled over 130 people lay dead. Another 250 were injured.
The National Shell Filling Factory, Chilwell, had been the country's most productive. It employed 10,000 people and from its creation in 1915 to the end of the war, over 19 million shells were produced there – more than half of those fired by British forces during the war.
25 of those who died in the blast were women. Women working on the site became known as Canary Girls because the deadly poisons in the explosives they were handling turned their skin yellow. They also left them with chest pains. skin irritations and feeling sick. These women worked a mix of 12- and 18-hour shifts for 30 shillings a week (men doing a similar job earned £2).
It is not known what caused the explosion but the damage was horrific. It broke windows in houses as far away as Long Eaton; the noise was heard 30 miles away in the Vale of Belvoir. Only 32 of those killed could be positively identified.
An appeal was sent out for people to go and help and horses and carts and even pedal cycles were used to move the wounded to hospital. People remembered traffic jams along the length of Chilwell Road, into Long Eaton and up towards Bramcote until gone midnight.
Despite everything, the remaining workers went to the factory at 6.00am the following morning to report for their shifts. The rescuers were still searching for survivors, so they were told to come back the next day. Though the end of the war was just five months away, munitions were still desperately needed at the front. Rebuilding of the plant began immediately and full production was achieved just a month later, when workers actually broke their weekly output record.
The Minister for Munitions, Winston Churchill, wrote: "The courage and spirit shown by all concerned, both men and women, command our admiration, and the decision to which you have all come to carry on without a break is worthy of the spirit which animates our soldiers in the field."
King George V also sent a telegram. The local MP suggested in Parliament that because of the heroic actions of several people over the course of the years, the Chilwell factory should be awarded the Victoria Cross. Although this did not happen, every employee did get a medal with the words "VC Factory" engraved on it.
Publicly, however, very little national recognition was given to what had happened. The government wanted to cover up the extent of the disaster so as not to affect war morale. It was reported in the newspapers as "60 feared dead in Midlands factory explosion."
The remains of the unidentified bodies were buried in three mass graves in the churchyard at St Mary's. The plots were marked by a series of flagstones and a small granite memorial with a blue plaque. On July 1st 2018 – a century after the tragedy – a new memorial was dedicated here at St Mary's to commemorate the victims. There is a further more substantial memorial on the site of the original factory but this is still MOD land – the Chetwynd Barracks – and so has limited public access.

Our Commissioner's Guide to Tendering is a four hour seminar that introduces the 7 essential steps in creating compelling tenders for public sector procurement exercises.
These are consistent principles for tendering regardless of your specific area of expertise.
Rather than spend ages walking you through the monotony of the procurement cycle, our seminar focuses on the 7 key aspects to consider when tender writing.
These include:
1. Understanding the language - PQQ, RFI, ITQ, ITT, RFT, DPS. Confusing right? We clarify what the hell they are on about.
2. To bid or not to bid? - Developing a bid/no bid checklist for your organisation.
3. Understanding specifications - What do they want to buy?
4. Good PQQ's & Great ITT's - Tips on what the commissioner is looking for and where your time is best spent.
5. Check and challenge - Three essential steps before you hit the submit button.
6. The interview - The do's and don'ts when you get to stage 2.
7. Award - Whether you win or not, you are not done yet.
We cover all this in four hours. However, we know that sometimes what participants are actually looking for is someone with an independent eye to review what they have written. So we build in the opportunity after the training to reserve a 40 minute slot with one of our tender experts, so that we can give you some basic pointers on your tender and the confidence to go away and put our training into practice.
This is an optional service and there is an additional fee (£50) for our experts to look through your tender and provide you with some tips and pointers. There will also be a limited number of appointment slots per training session, which will be offered on a first come first served basis.

Disruption alert: a two-part series on how AI driven voice assistance and the rapid adoption of smart speaker technology is poised to change the marketplace.
The Voice Assistant Landscape
What is a voice assistant?
"A voice assistant is a digital assistant that uses voice recognition, natural language processing, and speech synthesis to provide aid to users through phones and voice recognition applications."
The most common voice assistants are:
46% of Americans use digital voice assistants.
Voice assistants are found across multiple devices we, as consumers, use every day:
- Smartphones
- Computers
- Smart Speakers
- Cars
- Wearable devices
Most commonly voice assistants are used via smartphone, but we are quickly seeing an increase in the use of smart speakers – speakers and voice command devices with an integrated virtual assistant that offers interactive actions and handsfree activation with the help of a 'hot word.'
In 2017, households with smart speakers increased 49% in only 5 months, not including the holiday season, where 4% of Americans got their first smart speaker.
When asked why they use voice assistants, 55% of users say they use the assistant to interact with devices without using their hands. In turn, making everyday interactions easier to complete while working on another task.
I know you can find me using my Amazon Alexa almost daily while cooking, "Alexa, what is my NPR news briefing?"
Has the rise of voice assistants changed the way you interact on a daily basis?
In May, Google announced the new Google AI can have a real life conversation with strangers. How do you see this changing the way you use your phone in the future?
In part two of our series, we will cover the way voice assistants and voice search are changing how we, as marketers, interact with this technology to stay relevant.

BBB National Programs National Advertising Division Recommends Discontinuation of Health-Related Superiority Claims for FemiClear Vaginal Yeast Infection Treatment, Following Challenge by Monistat
For Immediate Release
Contact: Laura Brett, Director, National Advertising Division, 212.705.0109 / firstname.lastname@example.com
New York, NY – March 2, 2020 – The National Advertising Division (NAD) recommended that OrganiCare discontinue challenged claims for its FemiClear Vaginal Yeast Infection Treatment. Establishment and health-related superior treatment efficacy claims in FemiClear advertising were challenged by Prestige Consumer Healthcare, Inc. ("Prestige"), maker of the competing Monistat line of products.
NAD is an investigative unit of the advertising industry's system of self-regulation and is a division of the BBB National Programs' self-regulatory and dispute resolution programs.
The claims challenged by Prestige, appeared in online and television advertising and on product packaging, and included:
- "Proven more powerful at killing yeast than Monistat 1, Monistat 3, Monistat 7 . . ."
- "Tests show FemiClear kills more yeast than other over-the-counter products . . ."
- "Nelson Laboratories, a nationally certified lab, tested FemiClear against Monistat and leading vaginal Rx to prove which would prevail at killing the most yeast. The results were undeniable: FemiClear kills more yeast than every treatment it was tested against."
- "Shortest yeast infection treatment on the market."
- "Shortest Effective Remedy."
- "Treated [her] yeast infection in two days with FemiClear."
- "Kills more yeast than Monistat."
- "Proven Best at Killing Yeast."
- "Shortest Effective Remedy 2 Day Dose."
- Bar Charts showing that FemiClear kills more yeast than Monistat 1, Monistat 3, and Monistat 7.
The advertiser's FemiClear yeast infection treatment is a homeopathic product sold as an ointment with an applicator, advertised as a two-day treatment, and made from oxygenated olive oil and olive extract (comprising 95% of the formula), calendula, melaleuca, and pure lavender essential oil. FemiClear has not been approved by the FDA. All the challenger's Monistat products have been approved by the FDA to treat yeast infections, and the three relevant formulations for the purpose of this challenge are Monistat 1, Monistat 3, and Monistat 7 (with the number referring to the respective number of applications and days for administration of the product). Miconazole nitrate is the active ingredient in all but one of the Monistat products.
During the course of the proceeding, OrganiCare informed NAD that it permanently discontinued the claim that FemiClear is "Proven more powerful at killing yeast than Monistat 1, Monistat 3, Monistat 7 . . ." NAD, relying on the advertiser's representation that the claim has been permanently discontinued, did not review the claim on its merits. However, the voluntarily discontinued claim will be treated, for compliance purposes, as though NAD recommended its discontinuance and the advertiser agreed to comply.
Viewing the advertiser's claims in the contexts presented (both with and without the bar chart representing the advertiser's underlying study results), NAD concluded that consumers will reasonably interpret the advertiser's claims to mean that (1) FemiClear works better (is more efficacious) at treating the symptoms of, and curing, a vaginal yeast infection than the challenger's Monistat products; (2) FemiClear works faster to cure vaginal yeast infections than competitive treatment products on the market, including the challenger's Monistat products; and (3) the challenger's FDA-approved Monistat products are less effective than FemiClear.
The evidence offered by the advertiser in support of its claims consisted of an in-vitro time-to-kill test measuring the reduction of the yeast strain Candida albicans after four hours of exposure to samples of 5 yeast infection treatment products: FemiClear, Monistat 1, Monistat 3, Monistat 7, and Vagistat 3. OrganiCare also submitted declarations from its representatives and consultants familiar with the testing performed. After evaluating the evidence, NAD determined it failed to rise to the level of competent and reliable scientific evidence sufficient to provide a reasonable basis for OrganiCare's establishment and comparative superior yeast-killing claims and the reasonably conveyed messages stemming therefrom.
NAD recommended that OrganiCare discontinue its claims that "Tests show FemiClear kills more yeast than over-the-counter products . . .", FemiClear "Kills more yeast than Monistat [1, 3, and 7]" and that FemiClear is "Proven Best at Killing Yeast." NAD further recommended that the advertiser discontinue its claim that "Nelson Laboratories, a nationally certified lab, tested FemiClear against Monistat and leading vaginal Rx to prove which would prevail at killing the most yeast. The results were undeniable: FemiClear kills more yeast than every treatment it was tested against."
With regard to OrganiCare's bar chart showing that FemiClear kills more yeast than Monistat 1, 3, and 7, NAD determined that it reasonably conveys the unsupported message that the challenger's products are not only less effective, but ineffective at treating the symptoms of and curing, a vaginal yeast infection. Thus, NAD recommended that the advertiser discontinue its use of the challenged bar charts.
Finally, NAD recommended that the advertiser discontinue its use of the claims that FemiClear is the "Shortest yeast infection treatment on the market," "Shortest Effective Remedy," that "FemiClear "Treated [her] yeast infection in two days," and "Shortest Effective Remedy 2 Day Dose." NAD noted that there is no competent and reliable scientific evidence demonstrating that when used as directed under real-world conditions, FemiClear treats the symptoms of, or cures, a yeast infection faster (or better) than any of the tested Monistat products.
In its advertiser's statement, OrganiCare took issue with NAD's findings, however it stated that it "agrees to comply with the NAD's recommendations."

Teeth cleaning are an essential part of maintaining your oral hygiene and which most people are significantly unaware of. When it comes to dental cleaning, most people tend to avoid it thinking that it has no significant affect on their health. However, it's important to note that it will not only help in maintaining your oral health but your overall health as well.
If you've decided to go for a dental cleaning, then you can't simply get up and book an appointment with your dentist. There are many factors that you need consider beforehand. Don't worry, this post will tell you all you need to know about pre-dental cleaning preparations.
Dental cleaning may seem like an easy enough job; however, there's a lot of things that need to be known beforehand. Here are some ways you can prepare yourself for your dental cleaning appointment:
Family history generally means that you should know whether or not your family has a history of cancer, gum disease or any other problems that may cause trouble for you. Usually these problems can contribute to a much bigger problem when it comes to teeth cleaning. Products or techniques used can result in excessive bleeding or infections if you fail to acknowledge health problems or family history of health conditions. It may not be easy to walk up to your family members and individually ask them to open up about health problems that you may carry as well but it is quite crucial information.
Not everyone is comfortable with medications and not all medications suit everyone. In case of dental cleanings, mostly people are required to have antibiotics. However, if you have any problems, it's important to know about it and inform your doctor before the treatment. The mouth is no stranger to bacteria and that's one of the most common places that bacteria tend to enter into the bloodstream. This is especially common during cleansing. Once bacteria enters your body, it can cause an infection anywhere which means you need to be well informed.
Even something as common as a teeth cleaning requires you to understand just who you're opting for. Make sure you have a comfort level formed with your dentist because then you are more relaxed and the procedure tends to go much better than it normally would. If you have a family dentist, then make sure you opt for them otherwise thoroughly research on the doctor. If you end up with an amateur, then even a dental cleansing can result in severe consequences.
Once you've taken care of the aforementioned criteria, then you can go for your cleansing. Remember, your oral health isn't only maintained with simple brushing and flossing, you need a professional touch every now and then.

This month @home visits Kent House, designed by Studio Schelp. Meet architect Manuelle Schelp and experience how the alterations and additions to this terrace home have updated its facilities to better meet the needs of a 21st century lifestyle.
Part of a group of three terraces and located on a narrow block sloping down southwards from the street, the existing house has its major rooms addressing the street, while the ancillary functions are relegated to the back.
The concept was to strip back the existing building to its main core and add a new rear pavilion with internal courtyard to provide northern sun and day light access and cross ventilation to the centre of the new floor plate. Exposed steel portal frames, clad with metal sheeting, defines the shell of the new pavilion.
Internally, a timber shaped structure 'wanders' through the double height volume to form the various spaces and their built-in joinery; the kitchen / dining at lower ground, and the living at ground floor.
Manuelle Schelp is a registered architect in both Switzerland and Australia. She founded her Darlinghurst architecture and interior design practice - Studio Schelp, in 2007.
Studio Schelp delivers design services including concept design, design development, development application, construction documentation, tender, contract administration and services during construction.
Her portfolio of projects is focused predominately in residential design, ranging from single houses to large scale apartment buildings. She has also worked on office, commercial and community projects.
Location: Waverly, NSW

Glow Tonic Cleansing Gel
Ingredients included:
• Glycolic Acid
• Horse Chestnut Extract
• Aloe Vera
• Ginseng
I've been really enjoying this cleanser and have been using it in the mornings alone and in the evenings for my second cleanse after removing makeup. It does actually remove makeup nicely but as it contains Glycolic Acid it can't be used around the eye area so I've been using a balm cleanser or makeup remover as my first step then going in with this one second. It has a clear gel like consistency that feels so fresh and cooling on the face, definitely making it an ideal summer cleanser in this warm weather we've been having!
Price: £18
Product Link: Glow Tonic Cleansing Gel
On-The-Glow Moisture Stick
Ingredients included:
• Vitamin D2
• Ginseng
• Glycolic Acid
Price: £18
Product Link: On-the-glow
Glow Tonic Serum
Ingredients Included:• Glycolic Acid
• Aloe Vera
• Ginseng
Now on to my own thoughts! I've been using this one nightly after cleansing and it's such a nice lightweight serum, that doesn't feel at all heavy or oily on the skin. Results wise, it leaves my skin looking fresh and glowy and I've also noticed that over time my skin does feel quite a bit smoother after adding this into my routine. So it's definitely another great addition to the collection and is a really good option if you have oily skin and are looking for something a little lighter, especially throughout the summer months!

The all-new Fire TV Cube vs. the go-to SHIELD TV
Things have never been better for those looking to 'cut the cord' as there is now more streaming services than ever which either offer access to a range of back catalog content, or live TV, and in some cases, both. So at the software level, things have never been as good as there are now. Although the same cannot really be said for the hardware as while there are now a number of TV sets that come with access to smart features and apps, as standard, buying a TV set is not exactly the most accessible or affordable option for most people. Luckily though, in spite of the lack of variety at the device level, there are a couple of really interesting options now available. The latest of which is the Fire TV Cube by Amazon.
Another of the solid options is the NVIDIA SHIELD and for many in the cord-cutting world, this has become the go-to steaming box option as it's packed full of features and considered one of the most powerful boxes overall. Which begs the question – if you are now in the market for a new streaming device which should you go for? The go-to NVIDIA SHIELD or the all-new Amazon Fire TV Cube?
New vs go-to: What matters more to you?
The question itself offers one important distinction as this is not the comparing of two new products. Unlike the Fire TV Cube which is a brand-new device, the NVIDIA SHIELD is not as new due to it having first become available all the way back in January, 2017. So by any measure the SHIELD is now an older device and certainly when compared to the Fire TV Cube. Therefore, for those who literally want the newest technology, in the newest form factor, then the Fire TV Cube is the better option.
If new is not so important though then it is worth keeping in mind that the age of the SHIELD does not technically impact on its performance as this was considered the most powerful streaming device when it first became available and in many ways – it still is. At the spec level, for example, the SHIELD comes loaded with 3GB RAM, 16GB storage, and an NVIDIA Tegra X1 processor with a 256-core GPU. Additional features include 4K HDR support, as well as Dolby Atmos and DTS-X surround sound passthrough over HDMI. In contrast, Amazon's option features 2GB RAM, 16GB storage, a quad-core processor along with a Mali 450 GPU. This one also features 4K UHD support, as well as HDR 10 and Dolby Atmos support. So in spite of the Fire TV Cube being newer in terms of its release date, the SHIELD remains just as capable at the spec level.
Pick your assistant…and interface
Probably one of the most important considerations to make is the assistant. As voice assistant technology is now present in most new devices and this allows for devices to better connect to each other, and in some cases control each other. The NVIDIA SHIELD and Amazon Fire TV Cube are no different, although they are very fundamentally different in this respect. As the SHIELD comes loaded with Android TV and by association heavily relies on Google Assistant for its additional smart-related features. In contrast, the Fire TV Cube is an Amazon product and this evidently means more priority is given to Amazon's own Alexa assistant solution. Therefore, this could prove to be one of the single most important considerations you need to make. If you are yet to invest in the smart home revolution then it might not be a massive deal but if you are invested and depending on whether you are more invested in Amazon's or Google's solution, then it might make more sense to opt for the same assistant here. As opting for the SHIELD will make a Google Assistant ecosystem better, as will the Fire TV Cube with an Alexa ecosystem.
In general, both products are now capable of adopting the stance of a smart home hub by connecting and controlling other compatible devices. On the Fire TV Cube side, this is something Amazon has specifically focused in on, and as such one of the added benefits is that it not only connects to Alexa-supported smart devices, but can also control other devices that are connected to the TV, including sound bars, cable boxes, and so on. This really is one of the main selling points with the Fire TV Cube as it has the potential to act as a hands-free universal remote control. If that is something that is likely to appeal to your unique home setup, then the Fire TV Cube will be worth taking a closer look at.
Assistants aside, the actual interface is also something to take note of as Android TV and Fire TV OS, are very different in a number of ways. At the basic level they both offer access to a number of the same and popular apps, but you will need to be downloading those apps from different places – Amazon Appstore vs the Google Play Store. So depending on how entrenched you are with either store might also be something that affects the decision. Likewise, Amazon and Google have never been greatly appreciative of each other's products and services and this sometimes does result in a limitation on services. For example, YouTube is currently not easily accessible in app form on Fire TV OS and by the same token Prime Video is not readily available on Android TV. Although for these two products in particular, this is less of an issue. As there is a workaround for YouTube for the Fire TV Cube and the SHIELD is one of the few Android TV devices to come with a Prime Video app installed. But still, the bigger point applies – if you are more involved with one assistant and app store, you'd be better off going for the device which primarily supports the same assistant and apps.
Are you a gamer?
Both devices do offer access to games although this is one area where a comparison is less needed as the SHIELD is not just a better gaming machine than the Fire TV Cube, but it's the best gaming device (outside of the gaming console market) in general. This is probably not that surprising when you factor in this is an NVIDIA product, but that is the point here. The SHIELD has been developed with gamers in mind and in addition to supporting the wealth of Android games that are available, NVIDIA routinely works on porting over popular game titles to the SHIELD. Meaning these are exclusive SHIELD titles and often provide a higher-quality Android gaming experience. If that is not enough, the SHIELD also supports some additional game-related features including access to the company's GeForce NOW service which in turn offers access to a range of PC titles as well. Speaking of PC games, if GeForce NOW does not have the title you want, but you do, the SHIELD also supports GameStream which allows gamers to cast PC games to the SHIELD.
So when it comes to gaming, there really is no comparison here as the SHIELD is clearly the better option and it even comes with a gamepad as standard in the box, along with a separate remote control. However, all of this only actually matters if you are a gamer. If you are not, then there is not much point in paying for those additional features. Which brings us to the last point to consider – the price.
Price matters, but not significantly in this case
Price, is, and always should be something to take into consideration and it's also something that separates these two devices. However, the price on this occasion is less of a concern than it usually is at the box level. As although the SHIELD is largely considered to be an expensive device (compared to others), the Fire TV Cube has arrived as the most expensive Fire TV product to date. In basic terms, the SHIELD costs $199.99 while the Fire TV Cube costs $119.99. So while the Fire TV Cube is still cheaper, this is where aspects like the gaming elements are likely to play a role. If you are a gamer and would like a better game-focused experience with your streaming box then the additional $80 might be greatly offset by the additional features and the included gamepad – which you would have to purchase at an additional cost to play games on the Fire TV Cube. Likewise, if you are not a gamer, then to make the price difference even less of an issue, SHIELD is available as a 'remote only' option which sees the gamepad omitted from the package and the price dropping down to $179.

The National Museum of Art of Romania showcases the most important and the most comprehensive collection of fine art works in the country. It was set up in the former Royal Palace of Bucharest, a historical building which dates back to 1837, originally erected by order to Alexandru Ghica. The proximity to the Romanian Athenaeum enhances the tourist visibility of the museum, though, if truth be told, the museum is, regardless of its surroundings, a sight in itself not to be missed out by visitors of Bucharest.
The artistic patrimony of the museum is divided into two galleries, namely, the National Gallery and the European Art Gallery. The National Gallery exhibits works by celebrated Romanian artists, such as Theodor Aman and Nicolae Grigorescu, not to mention the extensive collection of sculptures by Constatin Brâncuşi, perhaps the most famed Romania-born artist with consistent contribution to the history of international art.
The European Art Gallery showcases works by Monet, Rembrandt, Renoir, El Greco, Cezanne and Rubens, just to list the most resonant names. Briefly put, the National Museum of Art of Bucharest is, perhaps, the most rewarding stop on the sightseeing tour of the city for visitors driven by artistic interests. Note that the Art Collections Museum, the Zambaccian Museum and the Theodor Pallady Museum open their gates under the patronage of the National Museum of Art, being managed as branches of the latter.
