Philippines: After U.S. scandal, JUUL develops new market in the Philippines
Part 2: Amid a crackdown in its home market, leading e-cigarette company JUUL treads carefully with 'transparency' efforts as it sets up shop in the Philippines
Michelle Abad
READ: Part 1: Will e-cigarettes help you quit smoking?
After suffering a backlash in the US for allegedly being responsible for a "vaping epidemic," e-cigarette giant JUUL Labs expands its market internationally. They have met privately with Philippine policy makers and the medical community.
With a no-marketing, no-lobbying approach under a new leadership, JUUL resorts to "educational" practices. JUUL's transparency in congressional hearings is limited, with more focus on reduced harm compared to cigarettes and little mention of inherent harmful effects.
Lawmakers are divided on regulation issues, as some are skeptical about the company, while others are convinced about JUUL's "reduced harm" approach despite the absence of long-term studies on e-cigarettes.
MANILA, Philippines – The House health committee vice chair stood his ground as e-cigarette giant JUUL Labs tried to convince lawmakers that their products were viable alternatives for smokers, and that they were aboard the mission to prevent non-smoker and youth usage.
"I'm having a hard time understanding the sincerity of our manufacturers now," said vice chair Representative Joet Garcia, recalling the worldwide tobacco industry lobby known to mislead the public. "If you watch all the hearings of the cigarette companies before, it's the same thing."
JUUL was prepared for the January 28 hearing – present were Asia Pacific South president Ken Bishop, medical representative Amar Kureishi, and government affairs head Mario Zinampan. They presented scientific evidence of the less harm caused by vapor compared to the smoke of combustible cigarettes.
They are careful never to utter the word "harmless." But they beat around the bush on the actual harm a JUUL product inherently brings to the body.
Expansion amid crackdown
One might know JUUL as the face of the e-cigarette industry. The flash drive look-alikes might be distinguishable by teens but not by all parents.
In the United States, JUUL faced a backlash that reverberated internationally in its early years following alleged youth-appealing advertisements and public claims that its product was "totally safe." It has come under intense pressure and faces hundreds of lawsuits and state investigations in its home market.
The product became popular with minors and young people, and the US Surgeon General declared a "vaping epidemic." The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said JUUL was responsible, although the latter claims to never have marketed to the youth.
The Bureau of Investigative Journalism found that JUUL requests private meetings with government officials across the world to promote its e-cigarettes, influence vaping laws, and lobby to lower taxes. We found that the Philippines has similar experiences.
With a monochrome rebrand and a Youth Prevention Program installed in the aftermath of the scandal, JUUL came to the Philippines – a home to 16 million adult smokers. By this time, tobacco giant Altria – Philip Morris' parent company – had bought 35% of JUUL for $12 billion in December 2018.
Despite the mounting criticism in the US – including a raid by the US FDA on JUUL's offices – investor presentations showed that Altria is confident international revenues can offset the predicted slump in US growth. It hopes JUUL's global sales will match those in the US within 4 years.
JUUL Labs entered the Philippine market in June 2019 and partnered with Gokongwei-owned Better For You Corporation (BFY). A JUUL spokesperson told Rappler that they targeted the Philippines because it has one of the highest concentrations of tobacco users in Asia.
The Gokongwei family "really believed in the product and what we stood for," the JUUL spokesperson said. JUUL, BFY, and local e-cigarette industry partners held an intimate dinner upon JUUL's launch in the country to celebrate a newfound "common bond."
Meeting with doctors
The same month of their Philippine debut, JUUL held an invitation-only roundtable discussion hoping to engage with Filipino doctors and learn about smokers in the Philippines. Only 4 doctors reportedly attended.
A handful of credible doctors and anti-tobacco advocates received the invitation and decided to ignore it. Southeast Asia Tobacco Control Alliance (Seatca) executive director Ulysses Dorotheo was quick to inform his colleagues, as there is an unwritten rule among advocates that they should avoid engaging with the tobacco industry unless this is in public hearings.
"It was our duty to warn other medical colleagues," said Dorotheo. The doctors who rejected the invite included Riz Gonzalez, chair of the Philippine Pediatric Society Tobacco Control Advocacy Group, tobacco cessation expert and pulmonologist Maricar Limpin, and cardiologist Anthony Leachon.
However, one of the attendees, general physician Lorenzo Mata, was convinced by the idea of reducing, if not eliminating, harm. Just 3 months after he attended the roundtable discussion, he founded Quit for Good, a nonprofit organization that openly approves of e-cigarettes as a less harmful alternative for smokers.
Their hierarchy of options is first to quit cold turkey, then try nicotine replacement therapies, and then e-cigarettes, if they cannot quit.
Mata has made various public appearances to advocate for this cause. When President Rodrigo Duterte banned vapes in November 2019, Mata – during an episode of ABS-CBN's Matter of Fact – appealed on behalf of his group to the President to reconsider the ban.
Mata claimed to be the only doctor in the Philippines who openly supports the use of e-cigarettes as an alternative. "I think most of the things we eat or take in, there is little harm. There is always harm there. Even the medicines that doctors prescribe, don't tell me there's no harm," he said.
While Mata said he has no relationship with JUUL, according to him, it was this roundtable discussion that catalyzed the founding of Quit for Good.
"Before going to that, I had to research and study, because I'm not well-versed on smoking. I don't know about vaping. Practically I don't have any knowledge of that," he said.
But Mata has been covered by a number of media outlets as the doctor and anti-tobacco group leader who supports vaping as a last-resort alternative. "They're trying to do everything they can to follow regulations. I think like everybody else, you give some people a chance," Mata said of JUUL.
Dorotheo highlighted the danger of advocacy anchored on the relative safety of e-cigarettes. "When people started smoking 100 years ago, no one had any idea that smoking was harmful. So for public health advocates and people like Dr. Mata to make claims that e-cigarettes are 95% safer without long term studies is actually quite irresponsible. It is a disservice to tell [smokers] to switch," he said.
'Education and transparency'
Before excise taxes were finalized in the recently passed Republic Act (RA) 11467, JUUL argued in a September 2019 hearing that its product should be taxed differently from cigarettes. This was rejected by Senator Pia Cayetano who said that there is still a possibility of discovering more harmful effects of their product.
Later that same month, JUUL went through a change in leadership, with longtime Altria executive and now JUUL CEO K.C. Crosthwaite mandating a "no-marketing, no-lobbying" approach.
Still, JUUL's government affairs team meets with policy makers to have "official conversations in terms of crafting legislations," in congressional hearings and in private. For now, their interactions are limited to top-level legislators, although the team's scope may also cover visiting local governments in the future.
With a budget for traditional advertising scrapped, JUUL said it engages in "educational" practices – one of which involves proactively reaching out to media outlets to discuss their product in newsrooms. JUUL also said it reaches out to socio-civic organizations, without going into specifics.
When asked how they respond to criticism and skepticism, JUUL said they try to be as transparent as possible. They strive to execute "ethical and responsible marketing practices."
"To be clear, nicotine is highly addictive, and not risk free. People who do not already use nicotine should not start using nicotine. Smokers should first and foremost quit. If they can't or won't quit, they should completely switch to less harmful nicotine products. Underage people should not use or have access to Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS)," said a slide that JUUL presented in Congress.
After this, JUUL presented scientific evidence that switching from traditional cigarettes to ENDS leads to less harm on the body – such as better blood nicotine levels, reduction in harmful chemicals, and improved vascular health. But there were no slides that showed the inherent harmful effects that may occur due to vaping a JUUL product.
JUUL distances itself from the cases of e-cigarette or vaping lung injuries (Evali) in the US due to the large number of cases being linked to vapes with chemicals such as vitamin E acetate and tetrahydrocannabinol – the main psychoactive compound in marijuana. JUUL often reminds the public that their pods have neither of these chemicals. JUUL claims its 5 ingredients – nicotine, propylene glycol, glycerine, benzoic acid, and flavorings – are pharmaceutical and food grade.
But so is vitamin E acetate – it is registered as dl-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate with the Philippine FDA. One may know vitamin E acetate as a yellow, soft gel dietary supplement that brings skin benefits. This vitamin inside an over-the-counter capsule is also the culprit behind possible lung injuries when inhaled. The FDA, however reminds consumers that just because something is safe to eat, it does not mean it is safe to inhale.
JUUL also promises sincerity, and that they are far off from the deception of the tobacco industry of the past.
"We should not confuse [our message] with the messaging of the tobacco industry from the 1960s and 1970s – that was clearly false information, that was criminal activity, which had its own consequences," said JUUL medical representative Kureishi during the January 28 hearing.
Garcia later reacted, saying in a message to Rappler: "How can [they] distance [themselves] from the tobacco industry when JUUL is [partly] owned by the Altria Group, one of the world's largest producers and marketers of tobacco products? Are they just using ENDS as a strategy to test the market and extend their product's life cycle?"
Prospects of regulation bill
As Congress currently tackles regulations for ENDS, lawmakers are generally divided – some still skeptical about the tobacco industry like Garcia, while others convinced by the contested data that ENDS are "95% less harmful" than cigarettes, including ENDS regulation bill author Ace Barbers and Deputy Speaker Rodante Marcoleta.
On February 13, the House technical working group approved a motion to revert the minimum age of buying vapes to 18. Garcia was the only dissenter.
JUUL declined to comment on the age revision since it has yet to be finalized. It reiterated its support for, and advanced compliance with RA 11467, which pegs e-cigarette access age at 21, and bans non-tobacco and non-menthol flavors.
Victor Dimagiba, former director of the Bureau of Trade Regulation and Consumer Protection and now president of advocacy group Laban Konsyumer, said it is always the consumers' right to be informed about the true levels of harm of ENDS.
"The uncertainty on safety may cause injury to a number of consumers in the absence of a well-meaning information and education program," he said. "The government should assist and educate users, and not the industry."
Even without long-term studies on e-cigarettes, Garcia thinks it's never too early to take preventive measures to prioritize health.
"I would rather be prudent like the more than 30 countries that have banned or restricted products until there is conclusive evidence on its safety. The right to health is and will always be above the right to trade," he said. – with reports from The Bureau of Investigative Journalism/Rappler.com

Council to charge for use of three Lincoln public toilets
Sarah Barker | CityX

Plans to charge residents and visitors for using three public toilets in Lincoln city centre have been approved.
City of Lincoln Council has announced that a charge of 20p will be made for those who want to use the toilet at the Castle Square, Tentercroft Street and Lucy Tower Street toilets.
The council hopes that the three toilet charges will create an income of £29,007 a year, which will then be used to update and regenerate the facilities for the public.
The council has said that the toilets will be cleaned and maintained on a regular basis.
If this change in charging system is a success, all public toilets in the city could potentially follow suit.
Steve Bird, Assistant Director for Communities and Street Scene at the council, said previously: "The council has to make £4 million of savings per year due to central government funding cuts and, unfortunately, the money has to come from somewhere.
"Evidence suggests that people are prepared to pay a reasonable sum to use toilet facilities, especially in areas known for their tourism, providing that they are clean and of a high standard.
"By charging a nominal amount we will be able to maintain high standards at these three facilities while ensuring that money is saved for vital projects and services in Lincoln."

Spring has sprung last month. The birds are singing as they build nests and do their mating dances. Yes, it won't be long before the flowers bloom, and grass starts growing.
You know what that means…grass needs mowing. When you parked the riding mower last fall, you knew that it would be a miracle if you could get it through another summer. You're going to need to replace old "Betsy" sooner or later, and start thinking about the features you want with the next lawn mower!
Well, you haven't tried starting the old mower, but hey, it's raining cats and dogs outside. With nothing better to do, you head for the mall and find yourself among a line of shiny lawn mowers with a wide variety of prices and features. What are the advantages of each one compared to the difference in costs?
Yep, not every customer that walks through your door is ready to make a purchase. Maybe they're still in the "thinking about it" stage. Yeah, when you think long enough, you usually talk yourself into doing it. That's why it's important to treat every customer's question with respect. You never know when a properly answered question will lead to a sale.
Prospective buyers key 1 – A Question is the Sign of a Potential Sale.
Yeah, if a customer is taking the time to look you up and ask questions, you're dealing with a high level of interest. Don't take it lightly. A prompt and quick response laced with the added benefits of the product will go a long way toward closing a sale.
Prospective buyers key 2 – Make it Easy to Ask A Question.
There's nothing more frustration than having a simple question and having to move heaven and earth to get an answer. Make it easy for your customers to ask questions. Make your website question friendly and include a phone number with all of your sales material.
What questions have you emailed answers to this week? Keep a file with those repeat questions. You'll be able to copy and paste the answers into responses. Hey, your customer will be happy and you can spend time doing something else. Everyone wins!
How many times have you shopped around while waiting for someone to get back to you? Yeah, it's easier than ever on the web. Customer attention spans are ever shortening with the vast global competition at their fingertips. Don't dilly dally – get back to them pronto!
When someone asks you a question, you've got their attention! They're waiting for an answer that is important to them. Yeah, it's the perfect opportunity to expand your response to include benefits of the purchase.
Prospective buyers who ask questions wear a badge that says, "Buyer on Board!" Read it and pay attention. Often a little nudge will mean a sale to tally at the day's end. Think of it like this…learning to effectively answer customer questions is a low-cost and effective way to boost your profits this year! Think of all the referrals you will get! See you at the top!
Chinna Liddell has written 1 posts in this blog.
Very nice and informative post. Strongly recommended for the seller, mostly for online seller, but i think it will help the offline seller too, if he or she keep these in mind while dealing with customers. Approach to buyer's question is crucial for developing faith of customer to him or her. Which ultimately may lead to a sell. So when you are in a seat of seller, keep your brain cool, be clam, listen your customer carefully and answer them point by point.

If you've decided to take the plunge and invest in your very first Windows computer, you might feel a little out of your depth. Of course you can just turn it on and start browsing the internet, but we think you'll more than likely want to make your computer your own. So where should you start?
The very first step is to turn on the computer. To do this, simply find and press the power button. Unfortunately this in a different place on every PC, but it's easily navigable by the universal power button symbol.
Once you've pressed it and your computer has been brought to life, it may take a little longer than usual to boot up. Don't be alarmed if you see a few different displays on the screen – this is normal. This process can take anywhere between 15 seconds and five minutes.
Once the computer has booted up, it's time to start personalizing it. Create your own profile by heading to the Control Panel and clicking on User Accounts. You can add in a password, change the name and picture, and a whole host of other settings. Sometimes your computer will prompt you to do this as soon as it boots up however.
To really make your computer your own, upload your favorite dog photo, family portrait or picture of your beloved car and set it as your wallpaper. Simply right click on the mouse or trackpad and tap personalize. You can also alter colors, the lock screen, themes, and Start menu.
Your new computer hopefully won't let you down for many years, but it's always advised to ensure you have all your important documents backed up elsewhere. External hard drives are the obvious choice as they simply mirror what's in your documents and provide a back-up should disaster strike.
Once you've got all the basics in place, it's time to enjoy your new purchase!

Hillmanian echoes
Gyrus / Posted 27 October 2017
It's been interesting recently noting how some key ideas found in James Hillman's work seem to be cropping up in cutting-edge anthropology.
Pluripresence and polytheism
Reading Nurit Bird-David's new book Us, Relatives, I was struck by her word 'pluripresence', coined to express the sense in which people in tiny-scale forager communities are all present to each other all the time. Everyone has a relationship to everyone else. And, beyond the fact that there is a psychological interweaving here, like a social Indra's net, Bird-David documents specific ways of relating to multiple presences. There are conversations ('pluralogues') that span multiple hearths, where particular utterances aren't necessarily addressed directly to specific individuals, nor to the abstracted singular 'collective'.
This sense of heavily connected plurality where connections never congeal into a mass 'unity' made me think of Hillman's repeated emphasis — in the context of Greek mythology, and his use of the Greek pantheon as a model for the psyche — on the fact that gods never appear alone.1 Every tale of a god involves other gods. Likewise, each of the multifarious components of the psyche relate to other components.
Part of Hillman's emphasis on Greek polytheism is to undermine the effects of monotheism on our psychology. For him, the ego is represented in Greek myth by Hercules, the hero who takes everything literally. This aspect of ourselves has unavoidably been inflated by the reduction of divinity to singularity, and the progression to monotheist literalism. Hillman's polytheist psychology aims to restore plurality to the psyche. And — just as Bird-David insists that forager society is never reified into an abstract unity ('tribe' or 'nation') — Hillman insists that the interconnectedness of this psychic plurality shouldn't congeal into another brittle singularity.
To a certain extent, I see in Hillman's vision an internalised preservation of our 'state of nature': the archaic template for social relations persisted through pagan myth, and excavated by modern depth psychology.
(Of course, shades of pluripresence colour everyday social relations, to this day. The point here is that our most active images of being have favoured the unity of the individual, or the unity of the group, collapsing true plurality.)
Soul as perspective
Reading Peter Harrison's The Freedom of Things is — among other things — a highly educative trip through anthropological theory. His references heavily underlined the work of two contemporary anthropologists: Eduardo Kohn (author of How Forests Think) and Eduardo Viveiros de Castro (Cosmological Perspectivism in Amazonia and Elsewhere and Cannibal Metaphysics).
Viveiros de Castro's 'perspectivism' toys with the idea that whereas civilised categories see nature ('body') as a unity which is viewed differently by different cultures ('spirit' or 'mind'), indigenous Amerindians conceive of spirit as a unity which is experienced from a plurality of corporeal perspectives.2 Each species, through its bodily being in the world, has a particular perspective — from which it thinks of itself as 'human'. Here, indigenous views of animals as being humans-clothed-as-animals seem to become a way of conceiving how each species' perspective is its own world, with itself at the centre, just as we think of 'humans' as the ontological centre of the world (our world). As Harrison puts it: 'A dog does not look at the world thinking that it is seeing the world as a dog.'3
Harrison joins this with Kohn's account of 'soul-blindness' among the Runa of the Ecuadorian Amazon. This is seen as 'the final terminus of selfhood', a world in which interiority has been hollowed out and there are 'just effects'.4 It's often related to the dead, who are seen as being dangerously disconnected and aimless. Harrison relates this to the Marxist concept of alienation: 'To be made soul-blind by capitalism, a process, basically, of institutionalization, is to be capable only of seeing one's world, oneself, and all thinking entities as empty things that occupy positions within the geometry of economic value.'5 'So,' he continues, 'to have a perspective is to be human or to have a soul'.6
Again I found myself relating this fringe political anthropology back to James Hillman, whose championing of the fusty concept of 'soul' now seems more radical than ever. Hillman refused to abandon soul to the obsolete religious world, and part of his way of hanging on to it was to let go of Christianity's tendency to see the soul as a personal possession, a thing:
By soul I mean, first of all, a perspective rather than a substance. a viewpoint towards things rather than a thing itself. This perspective is reflective; it mediates events and makes differences between ourselves and everything that happens. Between us and events, between the doer and the deed, there is a reflective moment — and soul-making means differentiating this middle ground.7
Hillman's conception of soul, the Kohn/Runa conception of soul-blindness, and Viveiros de Castro's conception of perspective, are each in themselves fantastically subtle and complex, and no doubt my quick associations here are bypassing many difficulties that arise as they are brought into relation. (Especially since Hillman's ideas are the only ones here I'm genuinely familiar with.) However, while I'm indicating paths for thoughts and research rather than tabling conclusions, I think there's a lot here.
Hillman made it a rigour of his thought to stick doggedly to Western traditions, to ground his ideas in what he saw as our culture's most profound roots: ancient Greece. However, it seems that ancient Greek culture retained enough of a connection to our deeper and wider being as humans for Hillman to reclaim from it some perspectives that reach much further afield.

I began Always Very Soft in the spring of 1973 and completed it more than three decades later.
Originally the piece was scored for percussion trio and de-tuned cello. I conducted that version in my final semester at the California Institute of the Arts. In time, I came to regard it as my last student work and withdrew it from my active catalogue.
Fast forward thirty-some-odd years to the spring of 2007.
For quite some time, I'd had in mind to compose a perpetual acceleration canon - music that seems always to be getting faster, but somehow never really does. As I pondered this I remembered that piece from long ago. So I dug out the old score and looked it over.
From my new perspective, it seemed to me that my younger self had been attempting to composer a continuum of discontinuities - weaving disparate timbres and velocities into a subtly articulated whole.
This new version of Always Very Soft contains not a single note from the original version. But I hope it conveys a more coherent and essential distillation of that early musical thought.
The entire piece is conceived as a single sonority - a seamless continuum of constantly-changing pitch, timbre and velocity.
Instruments should be chosen for maximum resonance and continuity of sound.
All instruments should have similar decay times.
Attacks should be light, and as uniform as possible. All instruments should be played with the same implements - wooden skewers, light sticks, brushes, or with the fingers.
As the titles suggests, dynamics should be very quiet throughout. However, the instruments may be amplified to enhance the richness and complexity of the sound.

Wondering how you are ever going to have a huge email list of raving fans that want to buy everything you sell? I have 10 ways to grow your e-mail list.
Why do I need an e-mail list when I have 2,000 followers on Twitter?
Your email list may be the most important asset you have in your business. I often get the question, "why do I need an email list when I have Facebook fans?". While I would agree that your Facebook fans, and your Twitter followers, are a "list", a list of people who are interested in your content, I know the most important list you will build is your e-mail list. Your e-mail list is just that: YOURS. The fans you have on Facebook and other social media platforms are tied to those platforms. What happens if Facebook goes out of business (it could happen!) – then those fans go away. Or maybe Facebook decides to take down your page for some unknown reason – it has happened.
The list you really want to focus on is your e-mail list. Social media platforms can be a great place to find new subscribers, and from there, send them to your opt-in form.
E-mail is not dead – we tend to open the e-mails we are interested in. E-mail is direct, and it's more personal than a post on a social media platform. It's easy to open on your phone, your ipad, and your desktop.
Offer something of value to your audience in exchange for their e-mail. Don't be afraid to give away great content for free, you will create loyal followers by helping our audience. You might offer free training, a white paper, an ebook, or maybe a free chapter of your book.
At the end of every blog that you post, have an e-mail opt-in form. Chances are if your reader has read all the way to the bottom of your blog, they are interested in what you have to say.
On Facebook, build a tab with an offer, and ask for an e-mail to receive the high value content you are giving away.
Collect e-mails at offline events.
Encourage your current e-mail subscribers to share your content, always put social sharing buttons at the end of your e-mails.
Promote your lead generation offers on Twitter.
Add your url and a call to action at the end of your videos.
Look for opportunities to be a guest on the blogs and podcasts of others with large followers. Then offer a free copy of your book in exchange for e-mails.
Be sure to make your opt-in box easy to find on your website, and make sure your opt-in process is simple and straightforward. People loose interest quickly.
Most importantly, create great content your audience will want to share!
If you found this article useful, I hope you will share it.

Hormone That Reverses Cell Aging in Humans Identified
bostontestosterone	Uncategorized	aging, boston testosterone, core medical group, core new england, danazol, men's health, telomerase, women's health	Leave a comment
The human body has hidden secrets scientists are just now discovering. Scientists have known that the human body can heal itself naturally, and now they realize that it can ultimately regenerate dying cells. During a clinical trial, the discovery of a new hormone found in males has shown some promising results in countering the effects of aging. The discovery does not promise a prolonged life-span, but rather a way to help people lead healthier lifestyles.
In later experiments, researchers from the United States and Brazil used a synthetic male hormone, known as a danazol steroid, to arouse the production levels of telomerase, a well- known enzyme. Telomerase is best known for keeping cells young by preventing DNA telomerase cells from shrinking. The process stops the generation of telomerase, and attaches itself to the end of the body's chromosome.
One of the biggest challenges associated with aging is the rapid decrease of telomerase DNA protection. Every time a cell in the body splits or multiplies, the telomeres increase in length. Eventually, the cell will fail to reproduce itself any longer, and die or naturally age. When telomerase is present, it keeps the telomeres in place, and even aids in the process of cell division.
Finding Can Combat the Negative Impact of Telomerase Degeneration
In past studies, evidence presented shows how aging cells can be stopped by increasing telomerase, which is produced naturally by human cells, and is continually multiplying. This process is similar to blood-forming cells. A lack of telomerase can increase the risk of cancer and have a negative impact on the internal organs. Most recent studies show that prescription steroids are responsible for generating telomerase on demand, confirming what scientists had previously witnessed in the laboratory.
Armed with this relatively new knowledge, new medical treatments can be produced for serious diseases like aplastic anemia, which causes premature aging of the bone marrow stem cells. In the study danazol was distributed over a two-year period, to 27 patients with aplastic anemia, which was caused by the mutation of telomerase genes. The discovery can also produce treatment for scarred lungs, and pulmonary fibrosis.
Over a two-year period, a person will lose from 100 to 120 telomere base pairs (DNA building blocks) each year. However, people with telomerase deficiencies could lose from 200 to 600 base pairs over the same course of time. When participants were given the new treatment, the length of telomere cells stopped shrinking, and increased by an average of 386 base pairs. Hemoglobin mass increased, which meant patients no longer needed to rely on blood transfusions.
New Discovery Opens the Door for Future Research
While scientists are optimistic at the possible new treatments and medical breakthroughs, every success comes with a price. The use of sex hormones has notable side effects, such as digestive system problems, fatigue, and mood swings.
Knowing how to overcome one of life's biological barriers, such as aging, is a valuable and major accomplishment for future research projects. As of now, the elixir to the fountain of youth, or staying young forever is out of reach. At this moment, the possibilities of new medical miracles in science are looking more promising than ever.

Natural hair memes were the laugh of the year for me! I know it's only October but the year is flying by so fast and i had to point some of these out! After all, this is a natural hair blog and it wouldn't be right not to point out one of the best parts of this year!
Just letting you all know before you scroll, some people may find the language in some of these memes offensive.
If you aren't following 2realmacdatfee on Instagram, you are missing out on one of the best comedy shows on IG! In one of his recent posts, he had the nerve to go in on us and our hair products. Lmao! I am surprised no one posted this! This was definitely one of the best natural hair memes of the year! Pay attention to what he recorded. I was DEAD at the Mike's Hard Lemonade. I'm not playing with him.
This meme speaks completely for itself. We all know we feel like Celie from the color purple when we go to bed but when we take it down, GLORY!
3. Yo weave look like ….
This isn't exactly a natural hair meme per say but i just feel like it would have been wrong to exclude it. LOL some of these weaves out here look so rough!
LMAAOO!! Come on now! Tell the truth and shame the devil! We know damn well that wash day looks and feels like this. Our natural hair doesn't play any games with us and we just sit there looking at the products most of the time. But wait! The ranch dressing and the broccoli. I'm done.
You did what?! You know how much time it takes to get rid of single strand knots and you did it in my sleep? Boy what you want for breakfast!
These 2 natural hair memes ring tried and true! We all know at some point we have been there. Whether it's early on in our journey or later on. At some point, length obsession kicks in and it kicks in BAD! We start measuring, looking in the mirror, asking other people if they see a difference and whatever else falls under this category.
LMAO! Yall know transitioners don.'t have to look like this. Going natural aka transitioning does not have to look like you let a chicken play in your head.
This natural hair meme, so accurate.
Great hair styles awesome blog.Thanks for such a beautiful hair styles.


The forum search is almost completely useless -- much better to use your favorite search engine.
The forums search box is very limited. You can quote a string for an exact text match otherwise it is simple AND logic. Maybe you're looking for this one?
It opens a new question for me in that forum.
does not bring up the correct forum on the left column.
Hmm, I don't even see a "Please select a forum" input box ............. When I click "Ask A Question" I do get the list boxes to choose from but I cannot type in them.
Correct, result is rendered in the list view. Not perfect but it is the way it works.
Sounds like you are trying to use the View All button on the left. The least that I can find for a unique match in there is onta (just to avoid typing the c which seems silly). More usefully on TechNet I use just 0 I to match my selection of both Windows 10 IT Pro and Windows 10 Insider forums (for example).


Grand Hotel Efes holds a symbolic place in the minds of all who lived in Turkey in the 1960s. It constitutes one of the few rare venues in Turkey in which the most famous television and stage actors of the period, gentlemen infamously renowned as "playboys", and equally chic men and women enjoyed the Felliniesque dolce vita life style. This symbolic character of the hotel simultaneously reflected several aspirations. The echoes of French cuisine, Italian fashion, and American cinema were thus carried to Ýzmir, a city known for its proximity to Western modernism, not only geographically, but culturally as well.
The overall perception beginning to emerge through the pages of newspapers and magazines following the opening of Grand Hotel Efes evoked the promise of unprecedented experiences. This life style was defined by a single adjective in those days: 'European.' The term simultaneously alluded to being European while not entirely becoming European. Befittingly, the hotel stood as the mirror of Ýzmir, a city where western standards of planned urbanization were 'almost' attained and a contemporary outlook was wellembedded in the social structure.


SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Qatar's plan to boost liquefied natural gas (LNG) output by 30 percent is the opening shot in a price war for customers in Asia pitting the Gulf state against competitors from the United States, Russia and Australia.
Qatar, facing regional isolation in a diplomatic dispute with its Gulf neighbors, took energy markets by surprise on Tuesday when it said it would raise its LNG production to 100 million tonnes per year - equivalent to a third of current global supplies - within the next five to seven years.
U.S. and European oil majors such as Royal Dutch Shell and Chevron have invested huge sums over the last decade - often more than they have spent on oil - in an attempt to dominate the LNG market, especially through mega-projects in Australia such as Chevron's Gorgon or Shell's Prelude.


Greased leather or oiled nubuck has a very characteristic surface- If you gently scratch the surface with your fingernails you cause a wax displacement which results in a clearly visible line. When protecting and caring for this leather, special care must be taken to maintain its oily nature. Using the correct water-proofer and care product will prevent the leather from drying out and cracking. Taking care of greased leather correctly will ensure that its unique quality will last.
Waterproofing and conditioning spray for waxed or greased leather, tough smooth leather and oiled nubuck. Prevents the leather from drying out and preserves the special rustic look.
Special conditioning cream for rustic smooth leather, greased leather and oiled nubuck. Nourishing and colour-activating- prevents leather from drying out. Colourless cream suitable for any colour.
Apply a thin layer of cream onto the cleaned surface with the sponge top applicator. Allow to dry before brushing.
For oiled nubuck leather and greased leather shoes. Waterproofs, refreshes colours and prevents dirt penetration whilst retaining that special oiled look. Colourless- can be used on any colour.
Shake bottle well, press sponge down briefly, spread evenly and allow to dry. Brush up nubuck.
Care for rustic smooth leathers, greased leather and oiled nubuck.


I am so annoyed I am chewing nails and spitting rust! I just bought a new umbrella from London Fog. I bought it because it has an umlimited warranty!!Yes it does! Anyway, the first time I used it a tip came off (unbeknownst to me) I have tried three different times, three different ways to resolve this. I really don't want to send the whole thing in when all they have to do is send me a tip or two. So I'm tired of wasting time on this. Can anyone tell me where I can purchase a few umbrella tips? I've looked in the suppliers sections and I've checked the article in #145 - no sources are listed. Please can anyone help???
This is a tip for tips!
Have you tried a second-hand store for an umbrella with the same type of tip that you could use in place of the tip that was lost?


Chicken wire & bungee cords, blood meal and bamboo skewers will make those bastards rue the day they dug in my planters! As the plants grow, I can snip the wire to make room for them. I think as long as they can't feel the dirt with their vermin paws, I'll be squirrel free!

The major objective of this thesis is to understand entrainment zone properties and the cloud-top entrainment rates using in situ aircraft measurements. The entrainment zone is defined objectively using a new method based on turbulence perturbations from high-rate turbulence samplings taken during the Dynamics and Chemistry of Marine Stratocumulus (DYCOMS-II) field study. The Entrainment Interfacial Layer (EIL) of the stratocumulus-topped boundary layer (STBL) is defined as the region near the cloud top where mixing occurs between dry free-troposphere air and moist turbulent air. Although the concept of the entrainment zone is clear, defining the top and bottom altitudes of the EIL from vertical profiles of tracer variables is complicated by many factors including an insufficient number of sounding profiles to provide good statistics. This issue is further complicated by the presence of multiple interfaces near the cloud top often used as a substitute for the EIL. As a result, the region that comprises the entrainment zone is not clearly defined. This study examines the characteristics of several important interfaces such as the cloud top, the inversion layer, the interface between turbulent and non-turbulent layers, and the EIL. The relative heights and depths of these interfaces are studied using a large number of sounding profiles from five DYCOMS-II flights. The characteristics of the EIL jump conditions were also analyzed; their variability illustrates the complexity of the jumps and therefore the uncertainty in entrainment rate calculations. Entrainment rates were estimated from jump conditions obtained in this thesis and compared to previous studies.


Home General information What is EGMO2020?
The European Girls' Mathematical Olympiad (EGMO) is the open European championship in mathematics for female high school students. It was initiated by the United Kingdom, which hosted the first edition of the event in April 2012. In this inaugural EGMO, nineteen countries participated. Since then, the EGMO has been held annually in different European countries, and has grown rapidly to more than fifty participating countries. Even though the EGMO is a European competition, non-European guest countries may participate in the EGMO as well. In 2020, the EGMO will take place in the Netherlands. This edition is expected to welcome approximately forty European participating countries, as well as a large number of non-European guest countries.
The goal of the EGMO is to stimulate girls to participate in both national and international mathematics competitions, and to give more girls the opportunity to perform mathematically on an international stage. A desired effect of the EGMO is that more girls will participate in the International Mathematical Olympiad, where girls currently make up only 10% of the participating students.
Any participating country may send up to four students to participate in the competition. These students compete individually, and write two contest papers on consecutive days, with three problems on each day. For each problem, the students receive an integer score out of a maximum of seven marks.
After the marks have been determined, gold, silver, and bronze medals are awarded for excellent performances. Medals are awarded to approximately half of the participating students. Gold, silver and bronze medals are awarded in the ratio of 1:2:3, so that about 8% of the students obtain a gold medal, about 17% of the students obtain a silver medal and about 25% of the students obtain a bronze medal. In order to encourage more students, and to encourage students to solve problems completely, any student (not receiving a medal) who obtained full marks for at least one problem receives a certificate of honourable mention.


Synopsis: Petitioner was restricted to sedentary duty due to her injury at work. The employer placed her in a new position that met her physical restrictions and continued to pay her what she would have been earning at her old job. Therefore, she had no loss of wages. The Appellate Court held the Commission must consider a claimant's "earning capacity" rather than actual loss of wages when evaluating wage differential claims.
Facts: Petitioner alleged an October 25, 2005 injury to her lower back, left leg and knee.
On September 12, 2006, an Arbitrator found Claimant sustained an injury, there was a causal relationship between Petitioner's injuries and the accident, and Petitioner could only return to work at the sedentary level. Employer placed Petitioner into a security officer position in July of 2007. Petitioner did not meet the minimum education requirements for the position and was paid at her prior wage level, $23.61, instead of the usual wage for security officers, approximately $10 per hour. The Arbitrator and the Commission both denied wage differential benefits, finding Petitioner was not suffering any impairment of earnings.
On review, the Appellate Court opined the critical issue was whether Claimant has suffered an impairment of her "earning capacity" rather than any simple comparison of pre- and post-injury income. To qualify for a wage differential award, a petitioner must incur an injury that leaves them partially incapacitated from pursuing his or her usual and customary line of employment. Next, there must be a difference between what the person would earn in the pre-injury position and the earnings the person could obtain through new employment in a competitive job market.
Given there was no question the accidental injury precluded Petitioner from resuming her prior job, the Appellate Court moved to analyze Petitioner's earning capacity. Such an analysis included consideration of Petitioner's age, education, physical limitations, and what wages Petitioner could earn in a competitive job market given these limitations. Following the analysis, the court concluded Petitioner incurred a loss of earning capacity as she would not have been hired for the security position due to her qualifications and the wages she was earning were artificially higher than normal.
Impact on Illinois Employers: This ruling allows petitioners to claim wage differential awards if they can show their earning capacity was damaged in a work-related injury, even if their income did not change pre- and post-injury. To show this, a petitioner most likely would have to obtain a vocational assessment to gauge their possible loss of earning capacity. Employers must carefully scrutinize the use of such evidence of loss of earning capacity to protect their interests.
Further, Employers can use Jackson Park as a tool to combat claims where whose post-injury earnings seem artificially low. If the petitioner's job search does not accurately reflect the employee's viability in a competitive labor market, the employer can present evidence from a vocational expert showing the claimant's earning capacity exceeds his or her actual earnings.

We recruit everyone from programmers to network administrators and database administrators for a wide range of clients. Rather than basing people's performance ratings on standard certification exams, we wanted to create our own tests. We previously gave paper tests but purchased Questionmark for Windows in 1995 to avoid the hassle of grading tests.
New hires complete a series of Level 1 evaluations at designated intervals, as well as various Level 2 evaluations at the end of core training modules.
Existing employees complete assessments for refinement and sustainment of knowledge on an ongoing, as needed basis.
In addition, Level 3 questionnaires are completed for select programs throughout the year in support of an internal Return on Investment process. Employees also participate in preference surveys that are presented, administered and tracked using the Questionmark platform.
Questionmark is fundamental to the Contact Center's learning strategy. It provides the Contact Centers with a way to embed the company's commitment to measuring training effectiveness while at the same time gaining administrative efficiencies. A small team of training evaluation specialists manages the program, and instructional designers familiar with curriculum and ongoing changes oversee the maintenance and creation of questions.
In 2005, Scotiabank established the framework for training evaluation for its learning community. The Electronic Banking Contact Centers have been able to easily align to corporate goals using Questionmark to automate evaluations, reporting and trending of training effectiveness.

'Grey's Anatomy' Recap: Nothing Says 'I Love You' Like Asking for a Divorce
Really? Really? REALLY? SERIOUSLY?
To quote Callie, "That came out a little stronger than I intended" but it's true nonetheless. In the latest installment of Grey's Anatomy, "I Was Made For Lovin' You," just when I thought I had seen it all, I had not. Let's dive in!
The Old Bait and Switch
From the moment the promo monkeys trumpeted April's possible pregnancy, I was sure she would not be pregnant and, indeed, she was not. Unfortunately, April was a little too relieved when it turned out she was just late. And Jackson finally decided he had had enough and called things off. But is it really over? Nope. I think not.
As for the "bombshell" promised by those same promo monkeys? I was equally certain that Meredith (she of the hostile uterus) would be pregnant. And with that, the screams of a thousand MerDer fans were heard around the world. Is this a happy development? Sure. Babies are happy news. But it wasn't a surprise. Sorry.
There Will Be No Mints
Miranda Bailey already had one wedding, so she's in no mood to make the second time around a splashy affair. Too bad her intended, cutie patootie anesthesiologist-turned-surgical-intern Ben Warren, has other ideas. Happily, by the end of the episode, Bailey had a change of heart and decided that it might not be so bad if Webber gave her a waffle iron.
I Don't Have a Left Foot
I was Arizona's first day back at work. Other than the intern stalking her with chairs all day, things went pretty well. Until she fell. But even that wasn't so bad as Arizona laughed it off. Then she went home and started to cook dinner and played with Sofia. Clearly, things are looking up for both for Arizona and Calzona.

Things Happen For a Reason
So said the guy who finally got a liver only to have his body reject it denying him the life he wants with his partner. This tragic tale was the Patient Parallel of the Week for Cristina who realized that she wants a life with Owen.
Too bad Owen has just realized that he's going to have to divorce Cristina in order to protect her. Yes, you read that right. Turns out Owen was inadvertently and indirectly responsible for the plane crashing (don't ask, I really don't have the patience or the stomach to go into detail here) and since he's married to a plantiff, the hospital figures the lawsuit will be thrown out. But not if they're divorced! See where this is going? Noble Owen is planning to turn the tables on them but he can't tell Cristina the truth because he signed a confidentiality agreement. Argh!!!!!
That's what it feels like to be a Cristina/Owen fan. I bear MerDer and Calzona fans no ill will. Ecstatic that Meredith is pregnant? Great! Delighted that Arizona is bouncing back? Good for you! But is a little happiness for Cristina and Owen too much to ask? They have suffered for so long and in so many ways that I've almost lost count, but let's make a list anyway. Ready? Go!
Owen's PTSD, Cristina's focus on her career to the exclusion of all else, Faux Triangle of Doom with Teddy, Owen's PTSD flare-up, Cristina's PTSD Round 1 (following the Shooter in the Hospital), Cristina's pregnancy and subsequent abortion, endless communication issues (including ignoring the aforementioned abortion, burying their problems with sex, and hoping the fact that he wants kids and she doesn't will magically disappear), catastrophic marriage counseling, Owen's one-night stand, Cristina's PTSD Round 2 (following the Plane Crash), Cristina leaves Owen to do her fellowship in Minnesota cutting off all contact with him and getting it on with her icky "sex friend", and now Cristina returns and realizes that she has changed and wants her husband back but doesn't articulate that to Owen before he says he wants a divorce (because he loves her enough to divorce her for the greater good). Did I miss anything?
See also 'Grey's Anatomy' Recap: Seattle Grace Is Saved!
I get that this is a drama. And that there need to be stories. And that "happy couples" are fantastic in real life but pretty boring on TV. Having said that, CO fans are so beaten down and exhausted and weary of it all, we need help and hope. Stat. There. I said it. In the name of all that is right, Shonda Rhimes, put Cristina and Owen back together again!

SHADOWS IN THE FOREST is a Board Game You Play In the Dark
Powered by Geek & Sundry
by Raf Cordero
Nov 16 2018 • 8:00 AM
The nights are growing longer and the air is getting cold. It's the perfect time to break out board games (well, any time is the perfect time but go with me here) and as the season moves towards gathering with friends and family, there's a new title you should reach for: Shadows in the Forest. Played in a completely dark room, it's a game that uses light and shadow more deftly than most games use cardboard.
Technically Shadows in the Forest is not a brand-new game. It was originally published in 1985 as Waldschattenspiel. Publisher ThinkFun licensed the game and brought it to the US with one important change: The original game was played with a lit candle pushed along the board. The new edition smartly – and safely – exchanges this component for a cute LED lantern and glow in the dark die. Becca shows exactly how the game is set up and played in this How to Play video:
In Shadows in the Forest one player takes on the role of the Seeker, while everyone else plays as one or more Shadowlings. At the beginning of the game, the Shadowlings are scattered, hiding behind the trees. Ideally, you're playing in a room with no light whatsoever. Most of my plays have been in a basement, which has been perfect. The board is littered with tall cardboard trees and the only light in the room comes from the lantern. The shadows are stark, making it perfect for hiding the Shadowlings.
Even if you can't play in a completely dark room, Shadows in the Forest is still plenty of fun. The Seeker spends their turn rolling a die for movement and deciding which routes to take through the forest. At the end of their turn, they close their eyes and the Shadowlings get to move. Shadowlings are trying to reunite, together in the shadows and have complete movement freedom. They can scoot from tree to tree, running clear across the board…if they can. The catch is that if a Shadowling is touched by any light emanating from the Seeker's lantern they are frozen. Their controller removes their little mask and must be "unfrozen" by a friendly Shadowling on a future turn.
This is what makes playing in a dark room such a fun experience. The Seeker can't see where any of the Shadowlings are, making the discovery of one hiding behind a tree exciting. Because the Seeker must keep moving, they can't simply sit and wait for more Shadowlings but they do have a pretty good idea of where they're headed. A dark room also makes it easy for the Shadowlings to know when they're illuminated by the Seeker's Lantern and not through ambient lighting.
Shadowling movement is rather free-form, and the game does rely on a bit of trust between players. This isn't a problem for grown kids but it's worth pointing out if you plan to play with younger gamers. I found playing with my son and his friends (age 3-7) most enjoyable when the oldest kid was the Seeker and I helped the younger kids with the Shadowlings. Turning them loose with the Shadowlings was a lot of fun for them, but we sort of lost the game element.
There are few games like Shadows in the Forest on the market. Watching the board shift and change as the light moves around provides a unique form of tension. I've known about Waldschattenspiel but didn't think it was a game I'd ever get to play. It's exciting to see games like this appear. I can assure you've never had a family game night quite like this, and it's worth pulling this out and turning the lights off.
If you want to see the game in action, check out our Game the Game episode!

East Coast Life Sciences Roundup: Vertex, Thermedical, More
Catherine Arnst
@cathyarnst
@xconomy
Xconomy Boston —
There were signs of progress this week for a few East Coast life sciences company as they strived to develop new drugs and devices, except for Aveo, which is pulling back on R&D to throw most of its resources behind its lead product.
—Vertex Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: VRTX) scored some big-name development partners this week for its effort to come up with an oral combination treatment for hepatitis C that can replace its market-leading drug telaprevir (Incivek). Although telaprevir was only approved in May 2011, the drug was upstaged less than a year later by news of oral drugs for the disease. On Thursday the Cambridge, MA-based company announced separate partnerships with Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) and GlaxoSmithkline (NYSE: GSK) to conduct Phase II clinical trials of its experimental drug VX-135, acquired last year from Alios BioPharma of South San Francisco, CA. Vertex is already behind Gilead Sciences (NASDAQ: GILD) and Abbot (NYSE: ABT) in the race to come up with an oral hepatitis C drug. Vertex said the VX-135 trials are due to start next year and Vertex will split the development costs with its new partners.
—Meanwhile, fifteen years after its founding, Thermedical hit a major milestone on Wednesday: the Food & Drug Administration cleared its first product, a device that uses radiofrequency waves to destroy soft tissue during laparoscopic and other types of surgical procedures. The Waltham, MA-based company's president and founder, Michael Curley, said in a statement that the FDA clearance will allow Thermedical to evaluate the device for the treatment of malignant tumors, starting with liver cancer. Thermedical's technology is based on research at MIT's Hyperthermia Center, and the company has survived on multiple National Institutes of Health grants and a $15 million Series A investment in March from private investor Samuel Maslak.
—Tris Pharma has spent almost as many years as Thermedical developing its technology, which turns pills into long acting liquids. CEO Ketan Mehta talked to me about the validation the company's efforts received when Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) recently agreed to pay up to $700 million to acquire NextWave Pharmaceuticals and its liquid drug for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, jointly developed with Tris. Mehta started the company in 2000 with his own money—no outside investors—because he wanted to address the inability of many people to swallow pills. No one was working on a solution for this significant unmet need when Tris started, he said. The company is now working on a chewable version of the ADHD drug for Pfizer, and Mehta has his eye on developing liquid versions of pain medications, which he says would be harder to abuse than pills.
—The news was much less rosy at beleaguered Aveo Oncology (NASDAQ: AVEO. The Cambridge, MA, company announced it is laying off 45 people—17 percent of its workforce—and leaving another 30 open positions unfilled. Most of those cutbacks are in research and development, as Aveo tries to conserve resources while it waits for an FDA ruling on its kidney cancer drug, tivozanib. The drug is under a cloud after the results of a clinical trial in August revealed that it may not increase survival by as much as sorafenib (Nexavar), already on the market. In a call with investors on Tuesday, Aveo CEO Tuan Ha-Ngoc said that the restructuring will leave about 80 percent of Aveo's resources dedicated to supporting "the anticipated approval and planned commercial launch" of tivozanib.
