Southwest Airlines: Turning A Profit In Tough Economic Times
Many companies today are struggling to make a profit because of the explosive swings in the global markets. Leaders and managers are constantly asked to make tough decisions on how to keep their company in the black. Most turn to reducing hours or laying off personnel as a way to lower overhead costs. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor, the nationwide unemployment rate is 8.8 percent. Over the past years, several large chains such as Circuit City closed their doors and others like Starbucks and Borders are closing some of their stores to reclaim profits. Despite these unsettling statistics, one company that seems to be bullet proof in an economy where more Americans are closing their wallets is Southwest Airlines. This unique and unconventional company is posting profits in the millions. Southwest Airlines continually modifies its organizational strategy and implements organizational change to meet stakeholders and consumer demands. This paper will explore Southwest Airlines' original business model, current changes within the company, and the benefits realized through current and future organizational change.
When Southwest Airlines opened the doors in 1971, their approach in this well-defined industry was anything but standard. They launched themselves into a class of their own through a radical business model. According to Spector (2009), "Business model innovation has become an increasingly common avenue for corporate growth. At its most basic level, a business model is the organization's approach to generating revenue and making a profit." (p.5). Southwest Airline's approach was to be a quality low-cost, high-frequency, point-to-point carrier. The low-cost flights competed not only with other airlines but they also offered an alternative to bus lines and driving. The key to Southwest's success is to keep things simple and consistent, maximize productive resources and manage consumer expectations. Southwest developed seven different tactics to meet their unorthodox business model (Brancatelli, 2008).
The first tactic is one plane fits all. Unlike their competitors, Southwest leadership made the decision when the company started to buy and fly only one type of plane, the Boeing 737. This alleviated substantial maintenance costs on spare-parts inventory and training for aircraft mechanics. Additionally, it made it easier for Southwest to move their planes within the system without costly disruptions or lost time due to reconfigurations.
The second tactic used by Southwest is point-to-point travel. Most of Southwest Airlines flights are direct flights and they utilize secondary airports to avoid traffic backlog of airport hubs. This allows the airline to minimize time on the ground which significantly contributed to Southwest Airlines' 78 percent on-time performance rate.
The third tactic is simple in-flight service. Southwest was the first to do away with the different classes of service. Southwest does not assign...

CMU wants to make computers learn and think like humans
- Christina Cardoza
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University are on a mission to advance the science of machine learning algorithms and computer vision. As such, they have announced a five-year, US$12 million research effort to reverse-engineer the brain. The goal of the project is to unlock the secrets of neural circuitry and brain-learning methods in order to get computers to learn more like humans.
To understand how the brain processes information, the researchers will look at improving the performance of neural networks. Neural networks are currently used in a variety of applications such as facial, speech and handwriting recognition, self-driving cars, and detecting financial fraud.
"But today's neural nets use algorithms that were essentially developed in the early 1980s," said Tai Sing Lee, research project lead and professor at the university's computer science department and the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition (CNBC). "Powerful as they are, they still aren't nearly as efficient or powerful as those used by the human brain. For instance, to learn to recognize an object, a computer might need to be shown thousands of labeled examples and taught in a supervised manner, while a person would require only a handful and might not need supervision."
(Related: AI system beats a top Go player)
Being able to solve what neurons in the brains are doing computationally could help advance the design of neural nets. Joining Lee as a co-principal investigator is Sandra Kuhlman, assistant professor of biological sciences at CMU and the CNBC, who said the CNBC will use a "two-photon calcium imaging microscopy" technique that will record signals from tens of thousands of neurons from mice processing visual information.
"By incorporating molecular sensors to monitor neural activity in combination with sophisticated optical methods, it is now possible to simultaneously track the neural dynamics of most, if not all, of the neurons within a brain region," Kuhlman said. "As a result, we will produce a massive dataset that will give us a detailed picture of how neurons in one region of the visual cortex behave."
CMU researchers will also work with other universities to improve and understand the brain's computational abilities, and to study data to provide advanced computer algorithms for learning and pattern recognition. For instance, a team at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard is working on developing techniques to reconstruct the complete circuitry of the neurons recorded at CMU.
"The hope is that this knowledge will lead to the development of a new generation of machine-learning algorithms that will allow AI machines to learn without supervision and from a few examples, which are hallmarks of human intelligence," Lee said.
The research efforts are being funded by the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity through its Machine Intelligence from Cortical Networks (MICrONS) research program. "MICrONS is similar in design and scope to the Human Genome Project, which first sequenced and mapped all human genes," Lee said. "Its impact will likely be long-lasting, and promises to be a game-changer in neuroscience and artificial intelligence."

lived there for at least three months before selling.
Louis and Yasmine's home was destroyed by Cyclone Yasi. They decided to use the insurance payment to rebuild it.
They rented a house 20 kilometres away with a six-month lease, and a six-month option to renew. They enrolled their child, Marley, in a school close to their rented home.
After six months their home was still being rebuilt, so they took up the renewal option on their rental house.
After nine months, their home was complete. However, because Marley was halfway through the final school term and there would be a financial penalty for breaking the lease, the family decided to stay in the rental property until the end of the school term.
In this circumstance, Louis and Yasmine moved back into their home as soon as practicable after the work had been completed.
If your home was destroyed and you then dispose of the vacant land on which it was built, you will still be eligible for the main residence exemption from CGT.
We closely monitor activity in disaster-affected areas to ensure the community is not being taken advantage of by businesses undertaking repair and reconstruction work. You can take steps to protect yourself as well.
Genuine businesses have an Australian business number (ABN) which they quote on their invoices and other documentation. If you're engaging builders or contractors to undertake repair and reconstruction work, you can check to make sure they're a genuine business on ABN LookupExternal Link. Businesses should not charge GST unless they are registered for GST.
You could also ask for references and check with the relevant state authority to ensure the builder or contractor is appropriately licensed.

If you have information about possible tax evasion, phone us on 1800 060 062 (between 8.00am and 6.00pm weekdays), or make an online report. Your information could help make the system fairer for everybody.
If you decide to sell your home after it has been rebuilt it will still be exempt from capital gains tax (CGT) provided you've moved back in as soon as practicable after the work was completed and lived there for at least three months before selling. If you dispose of the vacant land without rebuilding you will still be eligible for the main residence exemption from CGT.

It'll Never Fly: City Rickshaws
As a mode of urban transport, the rickshaw is an odd choice. In heavy traffic, these flimsy tricycles expose their passengers to noxious fumes and the threat of death by motorised wheel - with all views blocked by the rider and their heaving posterior. When we've got buses, taxis and trains, surely this symbol of colonial subjugation should really be history? Yet the London Pedicabs Operators Association says there are 500 such contraptions on the streets of London today and that their riders are governed by a stringent code of practice. They can earn up to £150 a week without setting foot inside an office or having any qualifications, and fans point to the environmental benefit, too. And it's by no means a London phenomenon. One company alone - the US's Main Street Pedicabs - exports bikes to 35 cities across 17 countries, including Kuwait, Puerto Rico and Norway. In the UK, Ted Maxwell, grandson of Captain Bob, wants to bring the rickshaw to Oxford's narrow streets. 'They're great fun to ride,' he says, 'and it's nice being able to chat to passengers over your shoulder.' Still, Oxford City Council has denied Maxwell a licence, saying: 'Rickshaws fall very far short of the present safety and constructional requirements for hackney carriages.' A new rickshaw costs about £2,000, but they're a lot less on eBay. Two have been up for grabs 'for personal reasons'. Perhaps the sellers discovered the joy of doing sudoku on the bus and never looked back.

The Brewster Homestead is a historic house at 306 Preston Road (Connecticut Route 164) in Griswold, Connecticut.  Built about 1740, it is one of the oldest surviving buildings in the town.  The house was owned by six generations of the Brewster family, and originally was the centerpiece of a farmstead of .  The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000 by Ron and Kate Bauer.

Description and history
The Brewster Homestead is located in western Griswold, at the northeast corner of Preston and Brewster Roads.  It is a -story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with two small interior chimneys.  It is finished in vinyl siding, although its original (c. 1740) clapboards are underneath.  A -story ell extends to the rear of the house. The main facade is five bays wide, with the main entrance at the center, sheltered by a late 19th-century hip-roofed porch.  The interior retains a number of original features, including plaster walls, gunstock posts in the framing, and paneled fireplace surrounds.  The basement includes the foundational remains of a large chimney, which was removed in the 19th century, at the same time the original main staircase was replaced.

The homestead stands on what is now a fragmentary remnant of a large property given to Johnathon Brewster, son of William Brewster, a founding elder of the Plymouth Colony, by Uncas, sachem of the Mohegan people.  Simon Brewster, a great-great-grandson of William Brewster, developed a  parcel as a farm beginning in 1740, probably building this house near its center at that time.  The house remained in the hands of Brewster's descendants until 1996 when Ron and Kate Bauer bought it and ran a beautiful bed and breakfast called Homespun Farm for 15 years.  A portion of the estate was sold in the 20th century, and is now the site of a golf club across Preston Road; the house is now associated with , much of it open land.

In certain sectors, such as agriculture and construction, it is important to know in advance if there is a likelihood of frost.
Potential impact and danger levels of ground frost.
Ground frost can cause damage to plants and crops, as well as hamper construction work. The major factors contributing to the formation of frost are the minimum temperature on a given night, the amount of cloud cover, and wind.
Cover plants with a protective layer ; place potted plants against a house wall since they are particularly susceptible to frost damage.
Protect building sites and any construction materials on the site against frost damage.
There are certain measures that can be taken to tend frost-damaged plants, and to ensure that they are better-prepared for frost in future. Further information on these measures is available on the Agroscope website.

Writers are often described as one of two types—plotters or "pantsers." It's curious that one of the things most talked about when discussing how writers write involves a word that doesn't actually exist. "Pantsing" (commonly known as "dakking" if you're Australian) is a word—the action of pulling down a person's trousers, but "pantser" does not exist in the English dictionary, and it sends the spellcheck into meltdown.
Plotters (also known as architects or planners) outline the plot points of their story before they sit down to write. Their tales are pre-planned to varying levels of detail and they know what's going to happen before they put pen to paper. Pantsers (sometimes called gardeners) fly by the seat of their pants when they write. Their approach gives them the freedom to take their novel in any direction, not knowing where they are going or how the story ends. It's a road trip without a map.
There's about a 50-50 split in published writers—half plotters, half pantsers. Regardless of which approach is taken, writers who are successful end up in the same place—with a story that has a beginning, a middle and an end—a structure in other words. I think successful pantsers must have an innate sense for how the plot needs to be structured as their story unfolds.
"Pantser" does not exist in the English dictionary, and it sends the spellcheck into meltdown.
I confess to being a bit of a geeky nerd and learning about the structural possibilities has become something of a fascination of late. Story structure is the scaffold that supports your words and moves the reader through your story. It creates flow and helps to keep readers engaged. Regardless of whether you write organically, plot your story before writing or use a hybrid of these methods (me) you still need to understand the basic structural elements of a story as without it your story is likely to flop soon after take-off or require endless re-writing to turn it into something that will engage readers.
The W-plot structure (made accessible by Mary Carroll Moore on YouTube) provides a great overview of story flow. This is a simple representation of the three act play, though it can have more than three acts of course.
The quest or idea story is a classic for adventure/crime/mystery/speculative fiction stories (think Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, Don Quixote). A question is raised or a problem needs to be solved early on and the novel sets out to find the answer. The mystery novel I am currently working uses a variation on the quest structure and involves seven turning points that each align with an archetype.
An idea for another novel bubbling away in the back of my mind will most likely use a blend of the core event structure and the place structure. For core event think The Lord of the Rings or The Slap by Christos Tsiolkas were a pivotal dramatic incident (the slap) unleashes a turbulent sequence of events that propel the story forward.
In the place (or milieu) structure (think The Firm, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz or Lord of the Flies) the arrival at a place and the impact it has on its characters is what drives the story. Writers who love world building (e.g. science fiction and fantasy) often use this structure. The plot follows a character who explores the world created and is transformed by it. The story starts when the character enters the world and ends when they leave.
Whether you think of yourself as a plotter or a pantser, a solid understanding of structure is a must. Holding the framework on which you want to build your story in your mind will help you drive your adventure where it needs to go.

Go for a walk or a jog to clear your head. Fresh air and the great outdoors is the perfect way to clear your mind and release any built up tension.
Take a break, read, watch a movie, do whatever else you like to do in your spare time. If it takes your mind off what you are stuck on, it's a good thing. Sometimes you just need to have a break.
Try some freewriting – stream of consciousness writing is a great way to get into the flow. Just write what comes into your head. Even things as daft as " I don't know what to write so I am writing this" and keep it going. Chances are you will write yourself out of the block.
Delete those social media apps – not necessarily a cause of writer's block, but the distractions imposed on us by Facebook, Twitter and the likes can really stunt your flow. A background distraction can displace your focus and cause you to lose track of your thought process.
Clean – Yes, have a tidy up around the house. What's that saying. 'Tidy House, Tidy Mind'. It works a treat. Do the dishes, clean the bathroom, do all the housework jobs and then you can return to your work with a fresh and tidy brain.
Write something else. Got a flash fiction idea you want to try? Try it. If you get your flow going on another piece of work, when you come back to the previous one you will have likely solved your issue, whether you realize it or not.
Change your writing environment – I recently checked into a hotel for a night, my hubby was on a work trip so while he was doing that, I stayed in the room and got cracking. I made so much progress by just being away from my usual distractions.
Get an early night, it helps. Your brain is still ticking over even when you are asleep, hence 'sleep on it'. When you awaken chances are you will know what you need to do.
Think of the end and work your way back. If you know how you want a particular scene to finish, work backwards. Let the cues find you.
I hope these tips help you if are stuck. Let me know your thoughts. What do you do to overcome a bout of writer's block?

Symbolic play has long been considered a fertile context for communicative development (Bruner, 1983, Child's talk: Learning to use language, Oxford University Press, Oxford; Vygotsky, 1962, Thought and language, MIT Press, Cambridge, MA; Vygotsky, 1978, Mind in society: The development of higher psychological processes. Harvard University Press, Cambridge, MA). In the current study, we examined caregiver-infant interaction during symbolic play and compared it to interaction in a comparable but non-symbolic context (i.e., 'functional' play). Fifty-four (N = 54) caregivers and their 18-month-old infants were observed engaging in 20 min of play (symbolic, functional). Play interactions were coded and compared across play conditions for joint attention (JA) and gesture use. Compared with functional play, symbolic play was characterized by greater frequency and duration of JA and greater gesture use, particularly the use of iconic gestures with an object in hand. The results suggest that symbolic play provides a rich context for the exchange and negotiation of meaning, and thus may contribute to the development of important skills underlying communicative development. Statement of contribution Current knowledge Symbolic play has long been linked to communicative development. We do not know the extent to which the social context of symbolic play fosters communicative skills. Present study We test whether key communicative acts (joint attention, gesture) are more common in infant-caregiver dyads during symbolic versus functional play. Joint attention was established more often and sustained for longer periods in symbolic play than in functional play. Infants and caregivers produced more in-hand representational gestures in symbolic compared to functional play.

Meisjeskopje is een schilderij uit 1665-1667 van de Hollandse meester Johannes Vermeer. Het werk is in het bezit van het Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Beschrijving
Het doek vormt een pendant met Meisje met de parel uit dezelfde periode. Beide schilderijen zijn vrijwel even groot en hebben dezelfde compositie: een omkijkend meisje tegen een donkere achtergrond. Meisjeskopje is geen portret, maar een zogenaamde tronie, een studie van een gelaatsuitdrukking of een opvallend type. Onder anderen Rembrandt en Frans Hals beoefenden dit genre veelvuldig.

Wellicht stond een van Vermeers oudere dochters model voor het doek. Het meisje is geen klassieke schoonheid, maar heeft een breed en tamelijk gewoon gezicht, ook wel als 'maanachtig' omschreven. Het bleke gezicht vormt nauwelijks een contrast met de zijden omslagdoek, waar Vermeer wederom zijn vermogen om lichteffecten op glanzende stoffen te projecteren etaleert. Met haar lieve glimlach en belangstellende ogen roept het meisje een gevoel van interactie bij de kijker op, een effect dat Johannes Vermeer vaak in zijn schilderijen weet te bereiken.

Eigenaren

Eerste eigenaar van Meisjeskopje was waarschijnlijk Vermeers mecenas Pieter van Ruijven. Na diens dood in 1674 kwam het schilderij via zijn weduwe en zijn dochter in het bezit van zijn schoonzoon Jacob Dissius. Op 16 mei 1696 werden uit Dissius' nalatenschap 21 schilderijen van Vermeer geveild in Amsterdam, waaronder drie tronies (nr. 38, 39 en 40). In 1816 was het doek in bezit van Jan Luchtmans te Rotterdam. Auguste Marie Raymond, prins van Arenberg, verwierf Meisjeskopje in 1829, waarna het schilderij tot 1955 in het bezit bleef van de familie Arenberg. Het Amerikaanse miljonairsechtpaar Charles en Jayne Wrightsman kocht Meisjeskopje onderhands. In 1979 schonken zij het schilderij aan het Metropolitan Museum of Art, ter nagedachtenis van de Franse schilder Théodore Rousseau.

'Good, Honest, Capable, and Willing People:' A Take on Election Administrators Goes Viral
Polling workers inspect and count absentee ballots, Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2020, in New York. Associated Press
By Kate Elizabeth Queram,
By Kate Elizabeth Queram
James Young, Louisville's former director of elections, took to Twitter to defend the integrity of election workers. Twelve thousand retweets later, he explains why.
With a background in election administration—first as the director of elections in Louisville, Kentucky and now working at a company that helps to make elections more accessible to people with disabilities—James Young is accustomed to fielding questions about voting.
But the inquiries he got about this year's election were different. In the days following the Nov. 3 contest, all of the questions—from friends, professional acquaintances and family members—focused on the same topic: whether the election had been rigged to ensure that President Donald Trump would lose to Democratic challenger Joe Biden, who prevailed in the race and is now the president-elect.
"I had a very, very close, personal friend who is a registered Republican—as am I—send me a conspiracy theory suggesting that election administrators were knowingly coordinating to prevent Donald Trump from winning re-election," said Young, who is now a regional sales manager for the company Inclusion Solutions.
"Of course," he added, "I realized there was nothing that was going to change this person's mind, and after I again reiterated my work with these individuals that he was suggesting had the fix in, he asked, 'Well, whose side are you on?'"
Despite claims to the contrary leveled by Trump and his allies, there's no evidence that widespread voter fraud or irregularities tipped the race for Biden. And Young, who oversaw elections in Louisville for more than four years before moving to the private sector, was stunned by his friend's comments. Young's job, then and now, requires close work with election administrators, whom he'd only ever known to be nonpartisan, diligent public servants who did their jobs carefully.
"But I realized that not just my friend, but a large segment of the population, are beginning to view election administrators, or 'vote counters,' as being on a side," he said. "And the fact that we're beginning to view the outcome of the election as depending on the partisanship of the people running it is not healthy. It decays the system. I think that was a tipping point for me."
On Nov. 11, Young took his concerns to Twitter, introducing himself as a former elections administrator and a registered Republican who actively works "with hundreds of jurisdictions across the U.S."
"For many reasons, the past week has been difficult," he wrote at the top of a thread that has since been retweeted more than 12,000 times. "If you seek the truth about US elections, please keep reading."
Young detailed his experience, noting that voter fraud is real but exceedingly rare (in nearly five years in election administration in Kentucky, he said, "I saw less than a handful" of cases of potentially illegal activity). Allegations of widespread fraud among election workers were particularly offensive, he added, because those officials, "appointed or elected, are REAL people. They do not work for political parties. They work for you."
Young continued the thread with photos and stories of election administrators in several states, including Georgia and Texas. His goal, he said, was to remind people that the employees they're maligning are real people, too.
"Everyone in those particular photos are election administrators. They work in the office, they're hired by their counties to actually administer the process," he said. "These are the people that make sure your name is spelled right on the voting rolls, that your address is updated, that oversee the programming and printing of the ballots and the tabulation of the votes."
Government employees, Young said, are often loath to attract attention or tell their own stories, and in some cases are discouraged from doing so, "because the process is not about them."
"But they've been politicized and accused of things, so my goal here was to put a face to the process that most people don't understand," he said. "I think that's so important."
Many election administrators Young has worked with have been frustrated this year, both by the myriad changes they've had to make with little notice and the rampant conspiracy theories about the way they do their jobs. They've had to install ballot drop-boxes, for example, and clear up persistent rumors about the validity of mail-in voting during a pandemic.
"These people have spent more time, during a raging pandemic, opening up ballots, counting ballots and updating voter registration information than they have with their own families," Young said. "They are underpaid, overworked, and doing their best, so to still have their integrity being questioned is very frustrating. Many officials, both at the state and local level, have thanked me for kind of bringing to light the human aspect of this. It hasn't been easy on anyone."
Reactions to Young's viral posts were mixed. Some people thanked him for his statements, while others warned that his personal experience didn't negate the presence of fraud or conspiracy in the system. That's disheartening, he said—but he's hopeful that even skeptics might take away the key message that the election of a candidate you don't like does not mean that democracy itself is somehow flawed.
"I've been saying this repetitively: it's really important to remember that simply because the outcome of an election didn't go the way that you desired does not mean the system is broken," he said. "These election administrators don't administer the process based on party or the lens of their preference, and that's really important to remember."
Ironically, in spite of all the challenges, the 2020 general election went fairly well, Young added. States successfully implemented large-scale mail-in voting, ballots were counted in a relatively timely manner, and thus far there's no evidence that even in-person voting contributed to a widespread surge of coronavirus cases.
"I used to say that election administrators are like NFL kickers—you never hear about them until things go bad," Young said. "But in this case, we're questioning them even when things went right. I think we have so much to be proud of—just the fact that the election happened. We should applaud these thousands of offices across the country for the job that they did do."

Although I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! is months away from airing on ITV, producers are signing up stars as we write this article.
Singer Jessie J and former England footballer Paul Merson are said to be on producers wish list for this year's series.
Jessie J shot to the top of the charts with Price Tag, and since became a judge on the first series of The Voice UK in the UK.
A source told The Sun: "Paul is really keen to relaunch his TV career and thinks this is the best way to do it after he's seen what it has done for his mate Harry Redknapp, but he needs it to be worth his while and is negotiating for a top price.
"Jessie's been offered good money but isn't sure that the show is for her. She is keen to put her music first."
ITV have not revealed this year's line but that hasn't stopped speculation, rumours have been circling for weeks.
This year's season of I'm A Celebrity could feature Tiger King's Carole Baskin, former Strictly Come Dancing pro dancer AJ Pritchard, Love Island's Maura Higgins and actress Nikki Sanderson.

Q: How to find out browser's true width & height (without resizing) I'm creating a JavaScript canvas game. My logic include whether a sprite has went to the bottom of the browser window (as the canvas is 100% width & 100% height).
Thus, it can be quite confusing if the browsers' height keeps changing, as I'm not sure what's the intended behaviour if a sprite that has already go to the bottom is exposed by resizing the window to a larger height.
I think my options are:

*

*refer the width & height of browser without resizing, OR

*When client resize the browser mid game, there should be a "Please resize browser back to the initial size" and a button to do so (as resizing to a specific size can be quite hard)

I think option 2 isn't feasible as it is not supported by Chrome & Opera since its easy to abuse the resize functionality.
For number 1, I haven't find if there is any property that supports this. I tried:
console.log("width ", document.documentElement.clientWidth);
console.log("height ", document.documentElement.clientHeight);

window.onresize = function() {
  console.log("width ", document.documentElement.clientWidth);
  console.log("height ", document.documentElement.clientHeight);
}

I also tried document.innerWidth & innerHeight but it is
still not the true browser's width & height. It is the width & height after resizing OR width & height after reduced with chrome dev tool's width & height.
Is there any way I can accomplish this?
Thanks

Layering serums can be so beneficial for your skin, as in reality no one serum provides everything that skin needs. One serum that we find clients love to add in at this time of the year is DNA Serum. It's actually really beneficial to use all year round, however it's star really shines in the colder months. This is when skin can lose its lustre and feel dry and dehydrated. DNA serums almost instantaneous effects of plumping, intensely hydrating and moisturising are all pretty addictive. Skin feels 'cushioned' and firmer – more dense. Juicier, supple and glowing! It's golden colour seems quite apt with the seasonal colors. But there is so much more to DNA Serum… Its long-term skin benefits are really important when it comes to anti-ageing and helping to maintain healthy skin.
DNA Serum contains an active ingredient called Juvinity – a clinically proven ingredient that will improve several signs of ageing in the skin.
Juvinity™ protects the cells from oxidative damage and ensures optimal mitochondrial activity. It reactivates the synthesis of major dermal constituants, preserves the cytoskeleton functionality and prolongs cell lifespan by maintaining telomere length.
In vitro tests found an increase in collagen synthesis of 483%. Together with a 32% increase in decorin synthesis and a 33% rise in Hyaluronic acid synthesis. Meanwhile, in vivo tests showed that Juvinity smoothes wrinkles. It restructures and redensifies the skin. Wrinkle depth decreased by 26.5% after a month's treatment.
Basically, Telomeres are a component of DNA that are found within our skin. Their lifespan is limited and as we age their lifespan decreases even more. This means that regeneration is impacted. Without healthy telomeres that last for longer periods of time, our skin will show the signs of ageing faster. Wrinkles and deeper lines will appear. Skin will sag and lose its firmness. DNA Serum breathes new life into the telomeres. It increases their lifespan and delaying the signs of ageing in skin.
Glycation is what occurs when excess sugars bind to skin proteins through cross-linking, damaging the proteins and causing lines, wrinkles and sagging. The obvious and logical thing to do is take action by reducing the amount of sugar in our diets (it's so ageing for skin!). It's always better to try and prevent something than repair it. However, no one is perfect and inevitably for most people there will be some sugar in their diet, whether hidden sugars or the odd glass of wine or celebratory slice of cake. DNA Serum is your back up as it stops glycation in its tracks before it damages the skin. It's not an excuse to eat more sugar though. Reducing sugar and using this serum will both help to prevent glycation. Daily use will help to prevent wrinkles, sagging and also UV damage. It's also an antioxidant rich serum that will neutralise damaging free radicals that prematurely age the skin.
There are other skin-loving ingredients in this serum that make it really special. These include, Organic Aloe Vera, Sunflower Seed Extract, Amalaki Berry Extract, Algae Extract and Sea Buckthorn Oil. You can read more about Sea Buckthorn Oil and its benefits in last weeks blog post.
This is a very nice serum that has transformed my skin dramatically after only one month of use! From dull,dehydrated,prone to break outs it has turned into glowing, moisturised, healthy and young looking skin of a happy woman. The serum has a nice, watery texture,spreads and absorbs easily and makes you addictive because of the effect.
If you'd like to read what others are saying about DNA Serum you can find it on our Serums page.

British Independent Film Awards: Florence Pugh turns heads with her chic appearance
Florence Pugh attended the red carpet ahead of the 25th British Independent Film Awards
Black Widow star Florence Pugh cut a stylish figure as she joined a host of stars on the red carpet ahead of the 25th British Independent Film Awards at Old Billingsgate in London on Sunday.
The actress, 26, looked drop-dead gorgeous as she wore an elegant pink dress with a low cut neckline, with the screen star putting on an animated display as she whipped the expansive detached mesh train to match her gown up into the air while posing on arrival.
It was a notably more relaxed affair than her stilted appearance at the Venice Film Festival in September, where reported off-camera disputes with actress and director Olivia Wilde on the set of Don't Worry Darling clouded its premiere in the historic Italian city.
The Don't Worry Darling star was joined by fellow actress Jenna Coleman, 36, who opted for an off-the-shoulder semi-sheer black floor-length dress, and screen star Daisy Edgar-Jones, 24, who looked chic in a black trouser suit adorned with glistening silver sequins.

180 (one hundred [and] eighty) is the natural number following 179 and preceding 181.

In mathematics
180 is an abundant number, with its proper divisors summing up to 366. 180 is also a highly composite number, a positive integer with more divisors than any smaller positive integer. One of the consequences of 180 having so many divisors is that it is a practical number, meaning that any positive number smaller than 180 that is not a divisor of 180 can be expressed as the sum of some of 180's divisors. 180 is a Harshad number and a refactorable number.

180 is the sum of two square numbers: 122 + 62. It can be expressed as either the sum of six consecutive prime numbers: 19 + 23 + 29 + 31 + 37 + 41, or the sum of eight consecutive prime numbers: 11 + 13 + 17 + 19 + 23 + 29 + 31 + 37. 180 is an Ulam number, which can be expressed as a sum of earlier terms in the Ulam sequence only as 177 + 3.

180 is a 61-gonal number.

Half a circle has 180 degrees, and thus a U-turn is also referred to as a 180.

Summing Euler's totient function φ(x) over the first + 24 integers gives 180.

In binary it is a digitally balanced number, since its binary representation has the same number of zeros as ones (10110100).

In religion
The Book of Genesis says that Isaac died at the age of 180.

Other

 All of the Final Destination series has used the number for death clues, starting off in the first film as a flight number to a 747 airliner based on TWA  Flight 800.
 180 is the highest score possible with three darts.
