The Eerie Prophecy of Wim Wenders' Until The End Of The World
in The Criterion Collection, World Cinema
by Christopher Holt July 7, 2020, 12:00 am 1 Comment
In Wim Wenders epic 1991 film it is the year 1999, the world is on the edge of a knife as a rogue nuclear satellite is going to crash to the earth any minute, and potentially take civilization with it. Amidst this chaos, we meet Claire (Solveig Dommartin). She is reeling from the infidelity of her partner Eugene (Sam Neill) and is drifting around Europe in a haze of drinking and brief encounters on a vapid party scene. While caught in a traffic jam and feeling bored, Claire ends up inadvertently assisting some bank robbers in transporting their stolen loot to Paris. Along the way she meets Trevor McPhee (William Hurt) a mysterious man who is being pursued by some shady secret agent types.
When Claire is reunited with Eugene in Paris, she discovers Trevor has stolen some of the money she was carrying. Claire pursues Trevor with the help and hindrance of a private detective, as well as the lovesick Eugene. She discovers in Moscow that Trevor is really Sam Farber, a man who has stolen the prototype for some revolutionary technology and is being pursued by government agencies and corporate bounty hunters. The journey moves across China and Japan, before ending up in Australia where Claire, Eugene and Sam are all reunited at Sam's father's laboratory in the outback, and they learn just how world-changing and potentially dangerous Henry Farber's coveted invention could be.
The idea behind Wim Wender's Until the End of the World was to create "the ultimate road movie", and it was initially released in a 158-minute cut in 1991 that flopped at the box office. It was something that Wenders had been keen on since 1977, but had to wait until he had a few solid hits under his belt so he could attempt what would be his most ambitious work. The film was shot across 11 countries and was financed by several European and Australian production companies. A 5-hour version was shot and edited down from an initial 20-hour long cut. This version screened a few times to a better reception overall, and various versions of differing lengths were available in Japan, Germany, and France. The director's full 5-hour version first screened in 2015 is now available from Criterion in a two-disc Blu-ray that was released late in 2019.
Essentially the story revolves around three characters. You have Claire who is something of a dreamer, a bit impulsive, and a bit desperate for something to shake her out of her sense of betrayal and malaise. Then you have Eugene, a writer, filled with regret and borderline obsession over the love he lost and willing to do anything to get it back. You get the sense that Eugene sees Claire almost as a case study, and the basis for a future novel, the content of which informs the voice-over throughout the film. Finally, you have Trevor/Sam, a man with some serious father issues as well as failing eyesight who attracts Claire and eventually falls in love with her, though he feels it may well be doomed. The cyberpunk style corporate espionage and technology is just icing on the substantial cake of character work that this road trip offers.
Back in 1991, there was very little green screen in film making outside of sci-fi blockbusters. It was available, but it was limited, and film productions had to rely more on actual real-world locations than the world's they could imagine with unlimited funds. It was also a time before the proliferation of CGI, Terminator 2 (1991) had only just come out and revolutionized effects-heavy movie making, but its full impact wouldn't be felt until Jurassic Park two years later in 1993. Wim Wenders and his production crew in the early '90s trotted the globe more than a typical James Bond production. The film takes in locations in Berlin, Paris, Moscow, China, Japan and Australia, and many others. They sought out locations that would give you the idea that this takes place just a little way into a doomed future, but Wenders and cinematographer Robby Muller make sure the audience is as transported as the characters, with claustrophobic capsule hotels, cluttered streets, slums, downmarket shopping malls, and finally the stunning wide-open vistas of the Australian outback.
Wenders was also ahead of the curve in terms of movie soundtracks at the time. You could argue that it wasn't until The Crow in 1994 that the movie tie in soundtrack album really became big business, but in 1991 Wenders chose an eclectic group of artists from U2 to Neneh Cherry, to R.E.M and Julee Cruise, and the soon to break up Talking Heads. It wasn't just on the CD release either; all these songs make their way into the film to underscore the emotions, the character journeys, and the atmosphere of a world nearing collapse. It is perhaps one of the best examples of astute soundtrack choices before the soundtrack became just another marketing gimmick.
1992 was the year that my film fandom blossomed from casual pastime to full-blown obsession, and so I had heard of Until the End of the World thanks to my ravenous reading of the film magazines of the time. After the film died at the US box office on only four screens, we finally got a home video release in late 1992 with cover art that suggested a Blade Runner (1982) riff which it turns out was massively misleading. The VHS release was of course pan and scan, and the truncated version of the film didn't really do the concept or the actual film any favours. I was disappointed by that initial version, but something about that film stayed with me. I would watch it again on DVD about 18 years later, and what had stayed with that 14-year-old boy now hit the 32-year-old man in a whole new way. The film, even in its truncated form, was close to a masterpiece.
I always thought I would be game for the 5-hour version of Wim Wenders magnum opus. So with Criterion Blu-Ray in hand, one January evening in early 2020—just before ironically a super virus and what was predicted to be the end of the world—I sat down and consumed the whole thing in one sitting. The first thing is that in its proper aspect ratio, in HD, and on a 4k TV, Until the End of the World is gorgeous to look at. The second thing is how essential all the material they cut out feels in its 5-hour version.
Surprisingly for a film with such a monumental running time, I never once felt bored, checked my phone or was anything other than absorbed. The characters are more fleshed out, the whole diversion with the bank robbery makes more sense, and you get more of a sense of who these people are. Eugene and Claire's relationship is better defined, you get the sense of loss between them, and what drives Eugene to follow Claire as she pursues Trevor/Sam. You also get a greater sense of Trevor/Sam as played by William Hurt, beyond him being a handsome mystery man. As a result, the final hour and a half have much more of an impact as you see these characters ravaged by their obsessions and failures. In the original cut, it feels as if there were a whole couple of countries missing. I don't remember spending anywhere near as much time in China and Japan as there was here, and the Japan sequence, in particular, feels vital to everything that follows with the extended and fleshed out time spent in the desert cult formed around Henry Farber and his experiments.
It's very rare that science fiction cinema made decades ago becomes somewhat of a fulfilled prophecy. The closest recent example I can think of is Kathryn Bigelow's Strange Days (1995) which predicted not only a frightening dip in race relations but also POV camera technology used for human gratification. Where Until the End of the World becomes eerily prophetic is in its final act.
As we get closer to Australia and Henry Farber's outback laboratory nestled deep within a cave, it becomes apparent that the device Sam is smuggling is something that enables the blind to see. Through testing on Sam's ailing mother, it turns out that the device has an alternate application. It becomes something with which human beings are able to record their dreams and memories. This footage (the first film to use actual HD footage) is distorted and elusive, always just about to show some kind of truth and then distorting further and slipping away. When Sam's mother dies, this new application becomes an obsession for his father, and in turn Sam, and then Claire. As they lose themselves further and further, abandoned by those that gathered around their genius, they stare red-eyed and almost catatonic at the small handheld devices replaying their own dreams back at them. It ultimately drives Sam and Claire apart; they end up preferring the company of these new devices rather than each other.
Wenders had in the early part of the film, already shown us something accurate in terms of how car-based satellite navigation systems would eventually work. But by the finale, he has shown us where our society was headed. Mobile phones went from a convenient tool to an out and out obsession in the last twenty years. They hold a lot of our dreams, our memories, and our fears, and we refer to them frequently as if looking for validation and justification that we exist. As Sam and Claire stare at these portable devices, it's reminiscent of the way in which the populace refreshes their social media feeds over and over, looking for that justification, that acknowledgement that they are real and people care. Their relationship collapses, just as divorce rates went up with the advent of Facebook. When Eugene finally forces Claire to go cold turkey, or the battery dies on her device, it's easy to see the reaction as that of a bullied teenager made to give up the damage that social media has done to her sense of self, or the person desperate for that return text when technology inevitably fails.
We have also had before this prophetic climax, a future world where individuals were able to be located via digital footprints, and what the internet search engines may eventually look like. The films framing device with regards to an Indian satellite seems to predict the fears that we had with regards to a Y2K bug plunging us all back to the stone age. When the satellite finally hits, it is in a beautiful sequence with a plane losing power over the desert and gliding with Sam and Claire to an uncertain fate. It is a scene that perhaps encompasses all of the themes of Until the End of the World, humanity gliding through life with technology and connections we are barely able to comprehend or stop ourselves from becoming reliant on.
Until the End of the World is the kind of film that just doesn't get made anymore, the kind of personal, epic, multi-continent jaunt that went out of favour a long time ago. On paper, it's something that shouldn't work, but in this 5-hour version its blend of tech-noir, spy games, romantic farce, and road movie comes full circle, and gels into a genuine masterpiece. The length may put off some, but for fans of real cinema, it's a journey well worth taking.

I forgot how much I love this movie. Thanks for reminding me. I just signed up for the Criterion streaming service–cancelled Netflix to pay for it and feel purified for leaving all the Tiger Kings behind.
(Also, it looks like you and I are working on the same novel, but I've been writing mine for over twenty-five years. :D)

iracing oval tips
Qualification takes place in the same session as the official race. "When it's really rubbered-in, if you go half a car too wide there's just no grip at all.".
With that said, I'd check out the UI as it will be eventually what I assume iRacing will swap to. They are essentially micro-transactions.
It is up to everyone in the race to make sure that all classes interact with each other as safe as possible when they need to. Once the lights go green, you're off and racing. If you're wanting to go up into racing in the more competitive faster cars, be prepared to spend some money on content and an ongoing subscription.
"I'm one of those drivers – if you just randomly talk to me during a qualifying lap I would like immediately lose two or three tenths because I would just be really annoyed with it," laughs Rosenqvist. If you're a rookie, you'll need two races minimum in a rookie series, if you're a D license then you'll need four races in D class series, C will need four races in C class series, and so on.
I'm not going to get too far into the gear subject in this guide but generally, any sort of force feedback wheel will do. You have to grid and stay there before the time runs out, or you'll be forced to start from the pits. With no tyre wear, keeping in the groove and on the racing line lap after lap consistently will be key to having a chance. As well as no tyre wear, the set-ups of the cars will remain the same too.
Pretty straight forward.
There are one or two things in this guide that contradict information provided in either the Oval Crew Chief or the iRacing Stock Car Component Setup Guide.
Alright, this is the first of the free ones, and honestly, it's kind of a pain in the ass. Get the cream of our content direct to your inbox. IndyCar's reigning rookie of the year Felix Rosenqvist – a simracing regular who made his debut at Indy in real-life last year and contested the iRacing Challenge event – gives us some vital IndyCar tips as a veteran of both rFactor and iRacing, but a relative newcomer to IndyCar. "For example if there's two cars going into Turn 1, and you add a third car to line up three-wide, that's your responsibility. There are five different classes of license: There are also two professional licenses however we won't touch on those in this article as very few racers in the sim have them. By clicking "Accept", you consent to the use of ALL the cookies. This will either be a standing start or a rolling start, depending on the series that you're racing in.
Necessary cookies are absolutely essential for the website to function properly. When you purchase a subscription to iRacing, you will unlock a decent amount of free content to get yourself started.
We use cookies on our website to give you the most relevant experience by remembering your preferences and repeat visits.

All the same races and practice sessions are available in both.eval(ez_write_tag([[336,280],'completesimracing_com-banner-1','ezslot_1',138,'0','0'])); iRacing offers two different systems that racers can use to measure their success on the sim and to get a rough idea of how fast and safe other drivers are. The race will take place directly after qualification.
"I did some laps on it. In order to view this page, we request that you disable adblock in your plugin settings. The one restriction is that the cars that are available for AI races are currently limited. If anyone wants to write a career guide for that, please do so, I'll be happy to link it from here.
It's like in a rally car when you have your co-driver – that communication going all the time – that's something you really rely on and it's like an extension of your own senses.
With drivers intentionally wrecking each other at various points, it made a mockery of the event which had all the ingredients to be an Indy classic, even if it was held on a sim and not on the real bricks.
The Indy regulars will have no problem adapting to the regular sound of a spotter's voice in their ear – and neither will Petter Solberg thanks to his rallying background! Whilst licenses aren't exactly difficult to gain, they can take some time. After all, it's just a big wide circle where the driver only turns left.
I'd recommend that you look up a list of the most popular tracks and go from there.
Now that you know you have to obtain the license class that you need in order to race the car that you want, you'll be able to do so straight away, right? It will be interesting to see if the guys who don't have real-life experience or experience in different areas will be at an advantage because if you're used to running there in different cars or different eras like when the apron was in play, maybe that's going to be a disadvantage. There may be classes that are much faster than you, or much slower. Time trials offer racers the chance to complete a set amount of laps and try and set the fastest time possible.
Be warned though, that the iRacing Sporting Code still applies to them, so it's not a free-for-all to do whatever you want. Mario Andretti had Karam set up his sim ready for this weekend. Wight ended up sixth with Decker …, Newport, Tennessee's Jimmy Owens hit a $30,ooo trifecta from Thursday through Saturday in the World of Outlaws Late Model series Dirtcar Nationals week long ….
They can mean the difference between first and last so it is important to be able to get a good setup for the car and track combo that you're racing. You can get your race participation and Safety Rating up from time trials too, however, the Safety Rating that you gain is at a much slower rate than you would get from a race, for obvious reasons. UNLIMITED FREE ACCESS
"Usually the guy who qualifies first doesn't win!
It is nice to know that there are competitive leaderboards if you want to focus on those.
Having said that, once most racers get to a comfortable level with sim racing then they like to progress in the classes of car that they race, working their way up into faster and bigger cars. A series can have a couple of different restrictions applied to them and will be denoted by the flags in the upper left of the series branding.
Earn enough Safety Rating during a season and you'll go up in license class, lose enough Safety Rating and you'll go down a license class. She said it was odd that only one track wouldn't load. You also have the option to opt-out of these cookies. "Just hanging out there" and not making a move every time a gap presents itself are two things that should be completely alien to a racing driver. Your license is also restricted to the discipline of racing that you do. "You know what's going on around you [with spotter's help] and when you get used to it it's really good.
That will help a lot for sure.".
While rFactor's spotter is good, it's never going to work as well as a living and breathing human being. "If you can race two- or three-wide then it's all about being on the inside on the final lap, hooking the inside and hoping that you're going to win. For this weekend – unlike the recent IndyCar iRacing Challenge event – tyre wear will be off for drivers, but in rFactor that low-line will still be where the grip is.

District 04 - Habourfront, Mount Faber, Telok Blangah
Located by the calm, soothing waters of the Singapore Straits is District 04 which encompasses Keppel, Mount Faber, Sentosa and Telok Blangah. An international business port bustling with tourism and trade, District 04 is a hub where people of all nationalities and various and walks of life gather.
Harbourfront is a business and lifestyle hub situated within the Bukit Merah Planning Area. It is also the gateway to Sentosa Island. Prominent buildings in Harbourfront include HarbourFront Centre, Singapore Cruise Centre, St. James Power Station and VivoCity. Owned by MapleTree Investments, it is a vibrant place of work and play.
HarbourFront Centre (WTC)
Previously named World Trade Centre, HarbourFront Centre is known by its current name since 2003 when the mall was renovated. It is a shopping complex located at Maritime Square, Telok Blangah, Bukit Merah Planning Area. It is part of the development called HarbourFront which is connected to Vivocity, a new and massive mall. HarbourFront Centre is connected to the HarbourFront MRT Station. The Singapore Cruise Centre is located within the building. Across Telok Blangah Road is the HarbourFront Bus Interchange. Within HarbourFront Centre is a ferry terminal that provides ferry services to Batam and other ports in Indonesia.
Singapore Cruise Centre
A cruise terminal built in 1991 by the then Port of Singapore Authority and again refurbished in 1998, the Singapore Cruise Centre comprises of two terminals, the International Passenger Terminal (IPT) and the Regional Ferry Terminal (RFT). On 1st April 2003, the Singapore Cruise Centre Pte Ltd took over the management of the centre when the Port Singapore Authority Corporation dispossessed its non-core businesses. Every year the centre handles over 8 million cruise and ferry passengers, of which 950,000 are cruise passengers.
Launched in December 2006, VivoCity is the largest shopping mall in Singapore. The word VivoCity is derived from the word "vivacity", to describe the experience of "a place bubbling with energy and flowing with vitality". During its first week of operation, the mall received almost one million visitors. The iconic avant-garde architecture was designed by world-renowned Japanese architect Toyo Ito. One of the main features of the design is alfresco dining by the 300 metre long promenade. The building also features a large rooftop amphitheatre. Key areas such as the Sky Park, Promenade and the water features at the entrance are popular areas where people gather to enjoy the sights and watch children play. VivoCity boasts one of the largest cinema multiplex in town, with 15 screens and 2,293 seats. It is also has one of the biggest cinema screens in Asia. VivoMart, located within the shopping mall, sells gourmet food brought in from around the world, including US, UK, Japan and Australia. The terminal of the Sentosa Express monorail located within the building was officially opened on the 15th of January 2007 and is known as the Sentosa Monorail Station.
St James Power Station
A bustling nightlife scene with 9 nightclubs and live entertainment destinations comparable to Ministry of Sound at Clarke Quay and Zouk, St James Power Station is the place to be for a fun-filled night of merrymaking with friends. Occupying the premises of Singapore's first coal-fired power station built in 1927, the building underwent a huge $43 million dollar makeover for two years before opening in 2006. This place is where the party begins and never stops until the break of dawn.
Standing at 106 metres and overlooking the Singapore Central Business District is Mount Faber, a famous tourist attraction. It is situated near the Bukit Merah planning area, in Telok Blangah. The hill is accessible by road and footpaths leading up the hill. One can alight from the cable car system that connects Harbourfront and Sentosa then go up Mount Faber via the tower on the slope. Formerly known as Telok Blangah Hill, it was renamed after Captain Charles Edward Faber, Governor Butterworth's brother-in-law who arrived in Singapore in September 1844. Mount Faber is one of the higher hills in Singapore, slightly lower than Bukit Timah Hill (164m) and Bukit Gombak (133m). It is separated from the adjacent slightly lower Telok Blangah Hill by Henderson Road.
Telok Blangah
The word Telok Blangah in Malay stands for "cooking pot bay". Blanga is a cooking pot used by southern Indians. The Telok Blangah district got its name because of the cooking pot shape of the bay. It is a district in the Bukit Merah Planning Area behind Keppel Harbour. The Telok Blangah Hill Park was a gathering place for trading communities back in the early nineteenth century. An elegant colonial bungalow, the Alkaff Mansion used to be a place where many galas for the rich and famous were held. The Terrace Garden of Telok Blangah, with its rich foliage and semi-circular terraces at the top of the park, is a favourite spot for wedding couples. For those whose aim is to get fit, there are often group exercises such as Tai Qi and jogging at the park with the rest of the residents from the neighbourhood. Picnics are a common sight at Telok Blangah Hill Park, as the place is equipped with picnic tables under the shade of Eugenia, Alstonia and Rain trees.
Keppel Harbour
Keppel Harbour is a stretch of water between the Singapore mainland and the southern islands of Pulau Brani and Sentosa. Its deep waters made it an ideal place for British colonists to establish a Far East maritime colony. It then set the stage for the formation of Singapore to be a successful independent state. Luxury waterfront homes are currently in development. Designed by master architect Daniel Libeskind, Reflections, or Keppel Bay phase two, was launched in early 2007 by the Keppel group, one of Singapore's largest conglomerate. To link Keppel Island to the mainland, a 250 metre cable-stayed bridge was completed by the first quarter of 2007.
For easy accessibility to other parts of Singapore, the HarbourFront MRT Station is right on the North-East Line as well as the Harbour Front Bus Interchange.

District to look into water wells
HAWTHORNE PRINCIPAL collects the golden shoe award for top attendance in February. Hawthorne had an attendance rate of 94.66 percent, taking the top spot from Holley School. Meanwhile, Oak Heights bounced upward from 92.95 percent in January to 94.06 percent. The Charter School was at 94.54 percent.
The Sweet Home School Board instructed Supt. Tom Yahraes Monday night, Feb. 11, to look into drilling wells and into whether the district has water rights to use Ames Creek to water its high school fields.
The district saw a 45-percent increase in the bulk water rate last year, driving an increase in projected annual water bills for the athletic field south of the high school from $31,000 to $45,000 and for the baseball field from about $10,500 to $15,000.
The city last year increased the bulk rate for water from $5.20 per 100 cubic feet, approximately 748 gallons, to $7.54 per 100 cubic...

Can Manufacturers Botswana (Pty) Ltd, the first food can manufacturing company in Botswana, which is a subsidiary of the Botswana Development Corporation (BDC) Limited, was this week officially opened in Lobatse.
Speaking at the launch of this company, BDC Managing Director, Kenneth Matambo, explained that the establishment of Can Manufacturers emanated from the need for manufacturing and provision of food cans to service the meat, fruits, vegetables and fish markets locally and regionally. He said the project is in line with BDC's mandate of promoting and financing commercially viable businesses that contribute to the economic development and diversification of Botswana.
Matambo said the establishment of this company was informed by a feasibility study which BDC undertook in 2002, which concluded that there are unmet demands for food cans in the SADC region and justified the entry of additional players in the industry. "BDC has so far invested P126 million in this project. Further developments continue to be implemented by way of introducing a second line and an 'end-making' line which is expected to cost P77 million," he stated.
In the light of the strong force reshaping the global and regional economics, Matambo highlighted that new challenges continue to emerge which require continual repositioning and investment in green fields or new areas.
He said at BDC, they believe that they should constantly be on the lookout to capture new opportunities. They believe that all their undertakings should transfer knowledge, skills, information and technology to promote productive and sustainable employment. "Hence this will contribute to the development of a competitive economy and a sound environment and further advance industrial development in the country," he stated.
Matambo stated that the Corporation sees this project as a means to contribute to the development of down-stream activities such as vegetable and fruit canning companies which will provide a market for local horticultural farmers.
Like any other business, Booker Bannister, the General Manager for Can Manufacturers, said they are affected by certain conditions and challenges that at times pose threats to their day to day operations and have a negative impact on the control of their production costs in effect reducing their competitiveness in terms of selling price. Some of these, he said, included, the high cost of transport and insurance for shipping of raw materials, the continuing escalation of steel prices worldwide, as well as lack of alternative price competitive quality steel supplier in the region and, at times, the geographic location.
"We continue to seek alternative means to overcome some of these barriers and we believe with the assistance of all stakeholders in this national interest project we shall prevail," he said.
The production of food cans, according to Bannister, is one of the more complicated forms of food packing as it demands best quality and dictates stringent food safety standards. He said metal cans should be manufactured to be able to withstand minimum shelf life requirements and be capable in certain instances of preserving food for up to 5 years.
"The industry boasts leading research centers and continues to bring new and innovative developments against a back drop of ever increasing economic and environmental demands," he said.
Currently, he said, they are witnessing the high cost of producing raw materials world wide, adding that emerging markets, such as China, grab all available steel and basically setting the tone of market prices, with most of the production of world steel being in the hands of two major producers, Mittal Steel and Tata.
In his remarks, the Vice President, Lieutenant General Mompati Merafhe, emphasized that this project is a welcome addition to ongoing endeavors to expand the manufacturing sector and improve the country's competitiveness, both regionally and globally. "This facility will no doubt enhance the performance of our manufacturing sector and give an early boost to Government's import substitution drive.
In conclusion, he said this facility, which has created employment for 30 people, will indeed add on to the much needed diversification of the economy of the town which is heavily reliant on the beef industry.

Las células L, células GLP-1 o células PYY son células enteroendócrinas que producen y segregan varios polipéptidos, que se encuentran distribuidas de manera dispersa a lo largo del sistema gastroentérico, predominando en el íleon y el colon. Las células L tienen funciones en: la motilidad y la secreción gastrointestinal, la absorción, la defensa immune local, la proliferación celular y el apetito.

Anatomía

La denominación como "célula L" se debe a una clasificación temprana, morfológica (Large granules, Lg cell, L cell) y bioquímica (péptido detectado PYY).
Las "células L" gastrointestinales humanas se encuentran distribuidas de manera dispersa, entre las células del epitelio intestinal que forman la mucosa, son más numerosas en el íleon y el colon.
En el cerdo y la alpaca un gran número de estas células, se encuentran en el yeyuno distal y en el íleon. En las ratas la mayor densidad celular se da en el íleon.

Las células enteroendócrinas L son de "tipo abierto" ya que con uno de sus extremos alcanzan el lumen del intestino y con el otro extremo llegan a la lámina propia.

Microarquitectura

Con el microscopio ópico y los colorantes habituales las células L muestran un aspecto de "células claras".
Los colorantes crómicos y argénticos permitieron su mejor visualización revelando la presencia de gránulos intracitoplasmáticos; esta propiedad se conoce como cromafinidad, argentafinidad y argirofilia. Con técnicas que detectan productos celulares genéricos, tales como la cromogranina, una proteína asociada a los gránulos de secreción y la sinaptofisina, es posible asegurar la naturaleza endócrina de las células L.

Mas específico resulta el empleo de anticuerpos dirigidos contra sustancias hormonales, la inmunohistoquímica logra marcar separadamente cada uno de los péptidos dentro de los gránulos de la célula L.
Las "células L/PYY" muestran una forma alargada de botella o  matraz hasta de 70µm de longitud, y presentan una polaridad celular muy marcada, con un extremo en el lumen del intestino y el otro en la lámina propia.
Los gránulos citoplasmáticos que contienen las hormonas como PYY y GLP-1, fueron localizados mediante inmunohistoquímica en la región subnuclear, concentrados en la base dilatada de la célula.

Ultraestructura

La microscopía electrónica permitió clasificar las "células L/PYY", por su morfología ultraestructural, se caracteriza por gránulos grandes redondos de 350nm y de centro denso a los electrones, típicos de almacenamiento de hormonas.
A nivel del lumen las "células L" disponen de microvellos cortos y escasos característicos, en contacto con el contenido intestinal.
En el otro extremo al nivel de la lámina propia la base de la "célula L/PYY" no supera los 10µm de diámetro, y muestra una extensión citoplasmática larga, que se denomina neurópodo.
El neurópodo corre por debajo de los enterocitos adyacentes y puede alcanzar una longitud de 70µm. Estos largos neurópodos, están llenos de mitocondrias, vesículas secretoras grandes y densas que contienen hormonas y de otras vesículas pequeñas claras, que se cree que contienen neurotransmisores.

Las "células L" en el íleon se muestran anatómicamente diferentes de las que están presentes en el colon. Las células L del íleon tienen una forma que recuerda la letra L, mientras que las del colon tienen un contorno fusiforme o sigmoideo (letra griega sigma Σ , ς).

Funciones
La "célula L" enteroendócrina, al igual que otras, produce, almacena y segrega neuropéptidos, hormonas y substancias "similares a hormonas".

Los microvellos especializados, de las "células L" que se proyectan dentro del lumen intestinal, funcionan como sensores de contenidos intestinales, ya sean nutrientes o subproductos bacterianos. Estas células responden al estímulo del contenido luminal liberando sus hormonas en la lámina propia donde difunden hacia los  capilares sanguíneos para alcanzar su objetivo a distancia.

Estas células "L"  expresan algunos  marcadores bioquímicos de la diferenciación neuronal, incluidos los involucrados en la biosíntesis de neurotransmisores, además de mostrar algunas propiedades ultraestructurales comunes a las neuronas.

Fisiología
Las células L detectan y responden a los productos de la digestión de los carbohidratos, las grasas y las proteínas, liberando los péptidos contenidos en sus gránulos secretorios.
Las células L sintetizan el polipéptido de 160 aminoácidos llamado pre-proglucagón, codificado en humanos por el gen GCG ubicado en el 2q24.2.
El péptido derivado proglucagón es precursor de varios péptidos hormonales secretados por estas células.
Entre los péptidos hormonales producidos por las células L, se encuentran el
péptido 1 similar al glucagón (GLP-1 en inglés) y el péptido 2 similar al glucagón (GLP-2).

Excitabilidad
La célula L es  eléctricamente excitable y utiliza potenciales de acción para codificar y transmitir señales, que modulan directamente la secreción de GLP-1. Utiliza su potencial de acción para llevar la señal, desde su extremo apical con microvellos, hasta el polo basal donde residen las vesículas secretoras de la célula L y así determinar la liberación de las hormonas que contienen.

Secreciones
Los principales productos de secreción de las "células L" que tienen acciones de tipo parácrino y endocrino son cuatro.
 Péptido similar al glucagón tipo 1 (GLP-1)(Enteroglucagón)
 Péptido similar al glucagón tipo 2 (GLP-2)(Enteroglucagón)
 Péptido YY (PYY)
 Oxintomodulina (OXM)

Los productos de secreción de las células L, regulan la motilidad gastrointestinal, la secreción, la sensitividad visceral, la absorción, el apetito, la defensa immune local y la proliferación celular.

Péptido YY
El péptido YY (PYY), es producido por las células L epiteliales enteroendocrinas en todo el intestino, pero sus concentraciones aumentan en el colon y el recto. El PYY que se localiza en la mucosa, actúa como un modulador endocrino en tejidos  distantes, particularmente dentro del tracto gastrointestinal, retrasando el vaciado gástrico y el tiempo del tránsito intestinal.
El PYY interactúa con ácidos grasos para inducir la diferenciación en las células de la mucosa.
El PYY tiene efectos sobre la ingesta de alimentos y el gasto de energía, lo que influye en el suministro de nutrientes y hormonas intestinales a la circulación. El PYY secretado por las células L, está estrechamente involucrado en la secreción de insulina y la homeostasis de la glucosa.

Recambio celular de células L
Las células L se renuevan y diferencian activamente a lo largo de la vida desde el reservorio de células madre de la cripta intestinal. A medida que las células maduras migran a las puntas de las vellosidades, sufren apoptosis y son extruidas hacia la luz.

El número total y el recambio de las células L, productoras de los péptidos GLP-1, PYY y OXM, es igual en pacientes sanos y en aquellos con diabetes.

Cirugía gastrointestinal
La cirugía bariátrica en "Y de Roux" produce una duplicación del número absoluto de células L, sin afectar su densidad que está codificada genéticamente en el recambio general de la mucosa del intestino delgado.
El aumento en el número de células L, en un factor de aproximadamente 2.5 (de ~7.9 millones a ~17.5 millones), demuestra la respuesta del intestino a las cirugías que alteran la anatomía del estómago y el flujo de los alimentos.

Owner fined for Hampstead Heath dog attack of cyclist
PUBLISHED: 08:00 04 December 2015

The owner of a Doberman show dog who attacked a cyclist as he raced past on Hampstead Heath has been fined more than £500.
The normally "impeccably-behaved" dog, called Tallulah, scratched the man while off the lead near the Vale of Health toilets on April 16.
His owner, accountant Ramona Jerinic, said in a statement that the seven-year-old pet may have been spooked by her screaming when the cyclist "almost mowed them down", magistrates heard on Thursday.
The scratch did not cause the victim to bleed.
She was walking Tallulah and her other Doberman, Bugsy, when the attack happened, which she has done twice everyday for many years.
The court heard that Ms Jerinic failed to restrain the dog afterwards and the Doberman was allowed to run towards the man again in an aggressive way.
She immediately apologised to the victim and offered to exchange details.
Magistrates were told the attack was out of character for Tallulah, who has performed at dog shows for most of her life.
Ms Jerinic, of Rosecroft Avenue, Hampstead, was ordered to pay compensation of £50 to the victim and £525 in court costs for allowing her dog to be out of control and not effectively restraining her from injuring a person.
She did not attend the hearing at Highbury Corner Magistrates Court on Thursday but was convicted in her absence.

MMS are a nationwide network of builders specialising in building restoration work after a flood, fire, storm or water leak. Our job is to ensure that your property is brought back to its pre damaged state with as little inconvenience as possible to you. Our network covers Cardiganshire and all surrounding regions.
We only employ fire and flood restoration contractors who are fully trained and experienced to deal with this type of specialist work. If you're unlucky enough to have lived through flood or fire damage to your home MMS Building Contractor Network are readily available 24 hours a day through our nationwide helpline.
When your property is damaged by fire, MMS understand the impact it may have on your everyday life. Apart from the damage that has occurred to your property there could be personal possessions that you may never be able to get back. By repairing and restoring your building back to its pre loss condition and providing free insurance claim help and guidance in terms of negotiating with your insurer, we can take some of the stress away from you.
If a fire damages your property, the destruction it leaves behind can be horrifying. Our skilled Cardiganshire fire restoration experts can deal with all resulting occurrences. This may involve dealing with any water damage which often happens from putting out a fire. Also there may be damage such as melted wiring that could need to be repaired or even smoke damage. Irrespective of the amount of damage, we have the skills and ability to complete all repair and restoration work.
As with all flood restoration work, we provide a full 12 month guarantee with all fire damage restoration work we carry out. We provide a free loss adjusting service to all our insured customers. This is a great service that helps to ensure that our customers receive the full amount in which they are entitled to from their insurer (see loss assessors section).
Flooding in the UK has become more regular in recent times. Therefore we have significantly increased the amount of flood damage restoration teams we have across the UK to handle demand in the autumn and winter. If your property has suffered from water damage, we are here to help.
With any flood damaged property, before we can begin any repair work our Cardiganshire flood restoration team will have to remove any remaining water and dampness within your building. Secondary damage must be identified because water will seep into hidden parts of your property such as wall cavities and floorboards.
It's essential that all water damage is discovered and dealt with in the first instance, otherwise there could be potential complications later on which may effect the restoration work that has already been completed. While there is water or moisture within the structure of your building, bacteria and dampness can spread.

Rather than you having to negotiate with your insurer they can negotiate on your behalf to make sure that you are given a fair and full pay out.
The independent loss adjusters we recommend make sure that all flood or fire damage is identified at the first instance. This ensures that issues do not arise later once your insurance provider has initially settled your property damage claim. We offer free loss adjusting to all our insured clients as standard.
When you submit a claim to your insurance company they may ask you to obtain a couple of builders estimates. MMS are an insurance approved building company who possess extensive knowledge of repairing properties which have become affected by flooding, fire, escape of water or theft.

Accreditation in Public Relations • PR Training
The Role and Value of APR
by Felicia Blow, APR
As 2009 Chair of the Universal Accreditation Board (UAB), it's my pleasure to lead a team of distinguished, senior-level public relations professionals who oversee and guide the Accredited in Public Relations (APR) program. With April having been designated "Accreditation Month" by PRSA, I'd like to share some of my personal thoughts on APR certification, and to answer a question that I'm frequently asked, which is, "What is the value of the APR mark?"
To give you a little bit of background, I've held my APR since 1995. When I began the journey toward Accreditation, I was pregnant with my daughter, who is now 14, so we both came through the process just fine.
(And for any ladies who are considering postponing their pursuit of APR because of motherhood or the impending birth of a child, here's a tip: Don't! I'll admit to having vacillated on this point myself. But a very smart woman, who was my mentor at that time, urged me to move ahead and not put the decision off. And I'm so glad that I followed her sage advice. It's far better to move ahead before your bundle arrives!)
Shortly after obtaining my Accreditation in 1995, I shared my perspectives on the process with the leadership of my local PRSA Chapter — the wonderful Hampton Roads Virginia Chapter — and the next thing I knew, the Chapter had appointed me as its Accreditation Chair. A few years later, I was elected to the Chapter's Board of Directors, before eventually serving as Chapter President in 2000.
Attaining Accreditation has helped me explain the concept of credentialing, and show the importance of demonstrated competency in the knowledge, skills and abilities required to practice public relations effectively. It also sends a message to those outside of our profession, that we have standards of excellence that we strive to maintain and follow.
Having now served all these years as an accredited professional and leader within PRSA and the UAB, what feedback can I offer you? And moreover, how do I feel about the time, expense, energy, effort and other sacrifices that I made to obtain the credential?
Seriously, I wouldn't trade it for a thing!
Throughout my career, I've held firm to the notion that professional development is a significant contributor to intellectual and career growth, and that each of us is responsible for honing our craft. That's where APR comes in.
The APR mark also bears forth witness to my proficiency in the strategic planning and execution of public relations campaigns. Does Accreditation prove that APRs are the best practitioners around? No, but for me, APR is a mark of distinction for public relations professionals who demonstrate their commitment to the profession and to its ethical practice, and who are recognized for broad knowledge, strategic perspective and sound professional judgment.
Achieving Accreditation has helped me grow professionally, personally and financially, as well. What's even more noteworthy is that the journey of becoming APR has created opportunities and experiences that I otherwise would never have had.
Therein lies the value of APR, and just some of the reasons why I'm such a staunch advocate for Accreditation.
In closing, I'd like to mention that being the first person of color to lead the UAB is a great source of personal and professional pride. And it has been a heartfelt goal of mine to encourage — explicitly and implicitly — diverse candidates to sit for the APR examination; I firmly believe that we can increase the number who do.
I'd also like to thank you for the opportunity to share this message and personal ruminations about my experience with the credential.
Finally, I'd like to encourage you to take a moment to visit our Web site and share your thoughts on Accreditation and on the site as a resource for seeking and/or maintaining APR status. I'm certain that the Board would agree with me when I say that we want your thoughts and ideas, so we can enhance our efforts to "advance the profession and professional" through APR.

Luke Rasmussen says:
To me, APR sounds like a daunting task. Of course, I'm still trying to get into the field. Maybe once I find that job in PR that I'm looking for, after a few years, it won't seem as daunting. I applaud everyone who's done it.
Paul Pitas says:
I too am happy I went through the accrediation process in 2000. It has provided me a sound discipline in approaching public relations projects and a great learning experience. I can't thing of a single APR who hasn't felt enriched by traveling the APR road. The problem is that the CEO's of the world don't understand the value of it. Currently, PRSA sends a letter to a practitioner's CEO indicating that an individual has become accredited that includes a very broad explanation of what the practitioner has achieved. This isn't enough. For years PRSA has promised more efforts to market the APR designation to CEO's, Presidents and Human Reource executives but I haven't seen a solid effort in that direction. Today, APR's can proudly pat themselves on the back for a job well down. Until executives of the world have a true understanding of what the APR stands for, that's as far as it goes.

Q: Improvised Auto-incrementing value for IDs For some reason i don't want to use the auto-incrementing value of SQL Server and i want to make my own incrementing value for my Database IDs.
What Im trying to do is, for example i will add a Product. Im going to take the last value of the last ProductID by MAX query and add 1 then i will insert that value as the ProductID for the current product.
My code is something like this
    private static int x;
   private static int y = 1;
   private static int z;
   private static int ID;

    private void AddnewProduct_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
       x = ID;
       z = x + y;
       lblProductIDnew.Text = Convert.ToString(z);

    }
    private void AddProduct_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        crud.FillDataGrid("Select * From IDs", ref dgvIDs);

        using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection("Data Source=DESKTOP-MQKIBSK\\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=MARISCHELLdatabase;Integrated Security=True"))
        {
            connection.Open();
            string query = "SELECT MAX(ProductID) FROM IDs";
            SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, connection);
            ID = (int)cmd.ExecuteScalar();
            lblProductID.Text = ID.ToString();
        }
    }

Is there an easier way to do this? Thanks everyone
UPDATE: The reason i don't want to use SQL auto-increment is when you Send a data to another database(archive) and when you want to restore it, you can't, because you cant enter a value to that identity column. thus the productID will change everytime you send a data to archive and restore it. And setting the identity on and off is not working. if there is a work-around here i will gladly use it. Thanks again everyone

SORRENTO - The people of Sorrento voted to abolish their police department, but current police chief Fern Barnett says she hasn't made a decision to resign or not yet.
She released this statement Wednesday: "I gave the residents a chance to make a choice. They made their choice, now I have to make a choice."
Ascension Parish Sheriff Jeff Wiley said his deputies will take over law enforcement for Sorrento, no matter Barnett's decision.
Some people have hopes Barnett won't resign.
"I don't see her resigning. This is her hometown, and she'll fight for it," said Tiffany Corkern, a resident of Sorrento.
The Sorrento council will discuss options for Barnett at their meeting Thursday evening.

RFID stands for radio frequency identification. It is an automatic identification technology whereby digital data encoded in an RFID tag or �smart label� is captured by a reader using radio waves. Put simply, RFID is similar to bar code technology but uses radio waves to encode and capture data to and from tags, rather than optically scanning the bar codes on a label. RFID does not require tag or label to be seen to read its stored data�that's one of the key characteristics of an RFID system. However it is typical to find bar code and RFID used together.
What are the key attributes of RFID?
Provide error-free, wireless data transmission that is battery-free and maintenance-free.
Do not require line-of-site scanners for operation.
Allow stored data to be altered during sorting or to capture workflow process information.
Work effectively even in harsh environments with excessive dirt, dust, moisture, and temperature extremes.
RFID tags consist of an integrated circuit (IC) attached to an antenna�typically a small coil of wires�plus some protective packaging (like a plastic card) as determined by the application requirements. RFID tags can come in many forms and sizes. Some can be as small as a grain of rice. Data is stored in the IC and transmitted through the antenna to a reader. RFID tags are either �passive� (no battery) or �active� (self-powered by a battery). Tags also can be read-only (stored data can be read but not changed), read/write (stored data can be altered or re-written), or a combination, in which some data is permanently stored while other memory is left accessible for later encoding and updates.
What is a �smart label�?
�Smart labels� are a particularly innovative form of RFID tag and operate in much the same way. However, smart labels consist of adhesive labels with an embedded ultra-thin RFID tag �inlay� (the tag IC (integrated circuit) plus antenna). Smart labels combine the read range and unattended processing capability of RFID with the convenience and flexibility of on-demand label printing. Smart labels also can be pre-printed and pre coded for use. In on-demand applications, the tag inlay can be encoded with fixed or variable data and tested before the label is printed, while the label can contain all the bar codes, text, and graphics used in established applications. Smart labels are called �smart� because of the flexible capabilities provided by the silicon chip embedded in the tag inlay. A read/write smart label also can be programmed and reprogrammed in use, following initial coding during the label production process.
A reader is basically a radio frequency (RF) transmitter and receiver, controlled by a microprocessor or digital signal processor. The reader, using an attached antenna, captures data from tags then passes the data to a computer for processing. As with tags, readers come in a wide range of sizes and offer different features. Readers can be affixed in a stationary position (for example, beside a conveyor belt in a factory or dock doors in a warehouse), portable (integrated into a mobile computer that also might be used for scanning bar codes), or even embedded in electronic equipment such as print-on-demand label printers.
Information is sent to and read from RFID tags by a reader using radio waves. In passive systems, which are the most common, an RFID reader transmits an energy field that �wakes up� the tag and provides the power for the tag to operate. In active systems, a battery in the tag is used to boost the effective operating range of the tag and to offer additional features over passive tags, such as temperature sensing. Data collected from tags is then passed through familiar communication interfaces (cable or wireless) to host computer systems in the same manner that data scanned from bar code labels is captured and passed to computer systems for interpretation, storage, and action.

[2019 COEX Food Week] Best of Start Up Top 7 companies selected by global media
2019 COEX Food Week was held at COEX in Samseong-dong for 4 days from Nov. 20 (Wed) to 23 (Sat), and global media selected the Best of Start Up Top 7 companies.

△Geekazine (US) - Health Teacher
Health Teacher introduced various jam products such as 'bean bean jam' and 'tomato dipping jam' using grains and vegetables. Nowadays, obesity and diet has become a social issue, and there has been health issues in the fruit jams for using excessively high sugar or unnecessary additives for long-term preservation. Health Teacher is the company trying to make a difference by removing such factors and making products with pure and natural ingredients, preserving various flavors of vegetables.
CEO Kim Ji-young, who participated in the event, said, "If you travel abroad, you will find that there are a lot of jams. Since this is not well known yet, the customers are fascinated by it, and they say that it tastes better than expected." It is Health Teacher's know-how to consume familiar ingredients in an unfamiliar way. New because it is familiar, this is the secret to the success of Health Teacher.
△MyFatPocket (SIingapore) - Dafina
Dafina showcased low-calorie homemade fruit jam products with no sugar or synthetic additives. Dafina is hidden treasure and sudden gift inSwahili. The company's name holds the meaning of finding nature's gift and delivering them to the customers. Dafina's three main products displayed at Food Week are blueberry, mango & passion fruit, and strawberry & raspberry. Strawberry & raspberry tastes like ones commonly eaten in Korea, and blueberry jam is perfect when eaten with yogurt. Mango & passion fruit is popular among foreigners.
Vice President Oh Jang-geon who participated in the event said, "Dafina jam contains bits of raw fruit, so it is like eating ripe fruits. Foreign products often have the fruit bits expanded by making them into jellies, but there is nothing like that in our product, so the taste and smell are fully preserved."
△Xiao Da Channel (China) - Reboot
Reboot introduced cleanse lactobacillus. An official said, "The brand name of Reboot means 'restarting' the body balance that has been broken by irregular eating habits, smoking, drinking and excessive diet. By ingesting Reboot Cleanse Lactobacillus, the toxins and free radicals that have accumulated in your body will be removed and your intestine will become healthy."
He also said, "Detox and antioxidant function are the main features, and it is easy to eat because it is in powder form. It's safe enough for anyone, whether they are young children, pregnant women, or patients taking antibiotics."
△ Lecafedegeek (France) - Peter's Pantry
Peter's Pantry introduced Tray Coffee Scale for cafe owners. An official said, "Our coffee scales are useful for home cafes and 1-person coffee cafes that make drip coffee. It is a smart scale that can measure both time and weight at the same time when dripping coffee. With a press of a button, anyone can easily use it, so both specialists and beginners can use it."
△ Vietnam Plus (Vietnam) - Kew & Leaves
Kew & Leaves introduced herbal tea products that preserved the Korean sentiment. The organic citron of Goheung-gun, Jeonbuk and the organic tangerine of Jeju island is blended with various herbs to make the perfect tea. This effort was recognized and the company won the Belgian iTQi Award in 2017 and 2018, consecutively for two years.
Song Min-jae, who participated in the event, said, "Now that everyone is drinking coffee these days, concerns about caffeine and health are also arising, and the young people are aware of it. I would like the people to taste our tea, made with the Korean ingredients in Korean way and feel the difference in your body."
△ Au Sing Da Hahn (Vietnamese YouTuber) - Suble Suble
Suble Suble presented non-alcoholic rice wine flavored drink Suble Suble 0.5. Suble Suble 0.5 is a refreshing, non-alcoholic makgeolli-flavored beverage made with 100% Korean rice and malt. Since the alcohol content is 0.5% which is less than 1%, it is classified as non-alcoholic beverage.
CEO Hong Myung-ja said, "Suble is an old name for alcohol and also the onomatopoeia of how the rice malt is being fermented. Suble Suble 0.5 is the product that reflects the changing alcohol consumption trend." It reflects the situation where more women are drinking whereas the frequency and strength of alcohol is decreasing.
△ Cheon Mun IT (Korea) - Bantable
Bantable introduced a variety of storage food with extended life without artificial additives. Bantable uses three ways to make preserved foods, sugar, salt, and vinegar. By using these ways, the company is making food that preserves seasons, season coming alive in the food. This is why the product names are fun. Some of the names are ginger when the cold wind blows, mango tok tok jam, lovely lemon mulberry, and purple scent lemon blueberry' It is fun and full of sense to even listen to.
Product work with sense is connected to the collaboration work. The taste is connected by taste, and this is how the tea is developed. In line with the release of the album, tea branding is performed with the musicians with the right tea, making them into products. Jeong Bo-hwa, the co-CEO of the event, said, "I think out of the five senses, the sense we can relate to most is the taste. We add storytelling to the food, and perform inner beauty work to produce the food and beverage products with 2030 cultural platform."
COEX Food Week 2019 will show the newest trend in food by 1,300 domestic and foreign companies in 1,620 booths. This year, the exhibition hall was organized by items to showcase the expertise and the latest trend in the food industry. △ Hall A and B located on the first floor are food specialty halls for the people in the food industry. △ Hall C on the third floor had Korea's only baking event SIBA. △ Hall D on the third floor prepared food trend where trendy food and unique experiences were held.

Friend of the Sea is the leading international standard for
producers of fish oil, fish meal, Omega-3 and UV creams.
Nutraceutical Products
Faced with consumers' concerns, environmental sustainability has become a relevant issue for the Omega3 industry.
Friend of the Sea is the leading international standard for producers of fish oil, fishmeal and Omega3 supplements.
Friend of the Sea Omega3 producers verify their suppliers are listed as approved and therefore implement sustainable fishing practices. In this way they can provide a third-party assurance to consumers worldwide.
USA, Scandinavia, Central Europe and Australia are the markets with the highest presence of Friend of the Sea labelled Omega3 supplements. Antarctic krill, menhaden and Peruvian anchovy fisheries and fleets are approved according to Friend of the Sea sustainability requirements.
Friend of the Sea criteria for sustainable nutraceutical products require:
well managed sources of fish oil and fishmeal ingredients;
traceability;
no GMO;
social accountability.
Friend of the Sea Chain of Custody
Audit Guidance
Authorised Certification Bodies
Sustainable UV Cream
Not all sunblocks are friends of the sea. According to both U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and EU regulation, sunscreens marked as "water-resistant" can lose 50% of their sun protection factor after 40-minute bathing.
Recent studies have shown that Benzophenone-3 (BP-3; Oxybenzone), an ingredient in sunscreen lotions and personal care products, which protects against the damaging effects of ultraviolet light, contributes to the coral bleaching and reef strain, as it disrupts coral reproduction and growth. According to these studies, even small doses of Oxybenzone – about a drop in six and a half Olympic swimming pools – damage coral.
In order to minimise the impact of sunscreens on the marine environment, Friend of the Sea has decided to award as Friend of the Sea certified those sunscreen products releasing less than 5 percent of their chemicals to the water after 80 minutes and thus validating the producers' long-term commitment towards environmental sustainability.
Friend of the Sea criteria for sustainable sunscreens require:
releasing less than 5% of their chemicals to the water after 80 minutes;
absence of chemicals that damage corals and marine life;
evidence of testing from independent laboratories.
