Hong Kong Harbour Places Initial Order of Carmanah Solar-Powered Lights
Vancouver, BC, Canada – (July 09, 2002) – Carmanah Technologies Corporation (TSX VE: CMH; Berlin and Frankfurt Stock Enchanges: QCX), is pleased to announce that the Marine Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) has approved an initial installation of approximately $50,000 of Carmanah solar-powered LED marine navigation lights.
The HKSAR is currently in the process of upgrading its aids to navigation throughout the Hong Kong Port. Carmanah's lights will be installed, operational and fully tested by August 30, 2002. The organization has expressed that they will replace all current low range (up to 3 nautical miles) lighting with Carmanah's products once the performance and reliability of these initial units are proven.
This initial order comprises 10 units of the Model 601 (2 nautical mile marine light) and 28 units of the Model 702-5 (3 nautical mile marine light). The Model 702-5 units will be used to mark bridges that span the main Hong Kong/Kowloon Channel. Carmanah won the tender primarily because of the Model 702-5's compact configuration, low power consumption and superior quality and performance. Carmanah lights represent significant cost savings over competitive lighting technologies.
"This order into Hong Kong represents a significant step forward for Carmanah's sales efforts into Asia", stated Art Aylesworth, C.E.O. of Carmanah. "The HKSAR's desire to upgrade the technology of its aids to navigation, mooring buoys and bridge hazard marker lights provides Carmanah with a significant opportunity to become a preferred supplier."
About the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Hong Kong Harbour
Hong Kong is comprised of a large peninsula and 235 islands. The Hong Kong Port is located on the southern tip of the peninsula and represents the most active port in the world. Its strategic location in Asia makes it an important shipment and transshipment centre. Within the port, the HKSAR manages over 550 channel marker buoys and over 2200 mooring buoys. They also administer hazard marker lights on bridges that span the waterway approaches to and from the harbour segments and the navigable rivers.
Carmanah designs, manufactures and supplies patented, proprietary solar-powered LED lighting solutions to the marine, transit, roadway and railway markets.

If your students are anything like mine, they have an incredibly difficult time telling the difference between main idea and theme. Before this year, I had always taught the skills in isolation. Main Idea first, followed by Theme a few weeks later. Most kids are familiar with main idea when they get to the upper grades, but it it still tricky for them. Then add on top of that the idea of theme, and their minds are blown. This year, I taught them separately, then integrated them. It has helped with their understanding SO much!
First, we made an anchor chart together where we brainstormed themes and then some fictitious main ideas that could go along with the themes (remember, the students already had background knowledge about what theme and main idea are independent of one another).
The next day, they did a quick sort of main ideas and themes. This is when they really started to get it.
You can download the main idea and theme sort that I used for FREE at this link HERE.
They sorted the definitions as well as a few examples of both main idea and theme.
After they did the sort, I had them answer the following questions in pairs. Some still struggled with this, but most of them could see that themes were universal, whereas main idea statements include specific details and are usually specific to one story. Being able to look at the statements within the sort really helped them to see these differences.
After they had answered these questions in pairs, we had a really great discussion about main idea vs. theme as an entire class.
Later, we started working on theme task cards using brief passages. We all started with multiple choice task cards, which gave students three options, one of which was the theme, and the other was the main idea (the third is just a detail from the story). For some of them who got it RIGHT AWAY, I had them select the correct answers, but then also rewrite the statements in their own words.
Then, the students who had a solid understanding moved on to paragraphs with no options. I did give them a card to help guide them, but they were generating their own main ideas and themes.
You can purchase these Main Idea Vs. Theme Task Cards at my TpT Store at THIS link. You can also use the paragraphs for main idea or theme alone.
In addition to having students complete the cards independently, I have also used them in small groups. I printed several copies for students to read and led the small groups through it orally. The stories were great for discussion and it allowed me to really see students who understood it quickly. It was also beneficial because after I had the students tell me what they thought the theme was, they could see that stories had multiple themes sometimes!
I really believe this helped my students better understand the difference between main idea and theme. I hope some of these ideas (and the freebie) can help yours, too!
Woo! I love the idea of integrating the two- I've always done them in isolation as well, but will definitely be using this! Happy anniversary!!
What a great lesson! I, too, have always taught them in isolation and my students continued to struggle with both. I will certainly be using this lesson in the future! Great job!
This is great! A lot of people confuse the two. This is a perfect fit to teaching both accurately.
Thanks so much for the free sort! We have been working on these two throughout the year at various points, and I think that this will be a great refresher exercise for them. It will also let me know if they have it or if they need a small group reteach.
This is a great review. Thanks for sharing! Main Idea and Theme are always tough!
Thanks, Mary! This is great. I'm adding your task cards to my wishlist right now. <3 ya!
Thank you so much for sharing your FREEBIE Main Idea vs. Theme activity. This is a wonderful resource. I can't wait to check out your task cards too.
Thanks so much for letting me know. I just fixed it. Not sure what happened there.
The main idea vs. theme sort is exactly what I've been looking for to make sure my students can differentiate the two! Thank you!
I used this activity this year as part of my initial instruction on theme. It is a terrific resource. Thank you!
Wow! Thank you so much for this excellent lesson idea and all of your wonderful resources! I am teaching this now, and your lesson has really helped me drive the point home to my 3rd graders! I just got your main idea/theme task cards yesterday, and I'm going to use them today. You are awesome!
Draw in your understudies in comprehension the distinction between the principle thought of a story and the topic of a story with these 16 interesting, DIFFERENTIATED errand cards! The cards incorporate 16 unique stories. Set #1 incorporates a brief card urging understudies to see the distinction between fundamental thought and subject and additionally 16 half page cards. Set #2 incorporates the same 16 stories with 3 alternatives, one is the topic, one is the principle thought, and one is essentially an occasion from the story. The understudies utilize the numerous decision alternatives to focus the primary thought and topic from thesis writing service of the section.
Your ideas are fabulous! Thank you so much for sharing...can't wait to see what comes next.
Awesome! One thing I tell students is that the "theme" is hardly ever in the reading, while the main idea can be found in the reading.

Introducing Port Vale
Ben Reardon
We take a look at the team from Vale Park
Name: Port Vale Football Club
Stadium: Vale Park
Manager: Robert Page:
Last season: 18th in League One
After securing their status in the third-tier for another term, Port Vale will be looking for better things in League One next season.
The Valiants, who were embroiled in a relegation battle at the time of Micky Adams departure in late September, but eventually finished four points above he drop zone.
Managed by Rob Page, the former Wales international took over the reins on a permanent basis shortly after Adams left– and helped steer the Staffordshire outfit to eventual safety.
A defender in his playing days, the 40-year-old started his career with Watford in 1993 – where he made 218 appearances in an eight year spell, before departing for Sheffield United on a permanent deal in 2001, having previously spent time on loan at Bramall Lane.
Spells at Cardiff City, Coventry City and Huddersfield Town followed, before ending his career at Chesterfield in 2011.
Page moved to Port Vale months after his retirement, to take up a coaching role with the youth team at the club. He was promoted to a first-team coaching role in May 2012.
In July 2014 – Page was appointed as the assistant manager to Micky Adams, ahead of the 2014/15 League One campaign.
Page set out what he needed to do when he was appointed as manager, and will be hoping for a safer passage through next season.
Defender Carl Dickinson will be the man that Vale fans will look towards next season, following a consistent campaign last season.
Born in Swadlincote, the 28-year-old began his playing career in the youth teams at Derby County and Stoke City, before signing professional terms with the latter in 2004.
Dickinson spent seven-years with the Potters, turning out 51 times at the Britannia Stadium.
He spent time on-loan at Vikingur, Blackpool, Leeds United, Barnsley and Portsmouth – signing permanently for Watford in July 2011.
The defender featured 43 times at Vicarage Road, and also spent loan stays back at Portsmouth and Coventry City, with a return to Staffordshire confirmed in July 2013, when he signed for Vale.
Dickinson featured 46 times for Port Vale last term, as he was handed the captains armband.
The Cod Army have met with Port Vale four times, winning the last encounter 2-1, on the final day of the season.

Sometimes just the name of an old ghost town makes we want to go there. Toonerville is one of those places. Originally name Red Rock it was changed to Toonerville after the popular comic strip of the day, "The Toonerville Trolley". this all happened somewhere in the 1930's before the dust bowl claimed the town.
Soon we had Toonerville Toots, for the Ladies, Toonerville Folks, for everyone else and a Tonnerville Trolley for the train that went through town. It was a lively town with Baseball games, dances, rodeos, and potluck suppers. They even had mock trials and mock town meetings.
Little is left but foundations, car parts, the usual metal, an outhouse and an interesting device made out of two car hoods welded together. The church stands for visitors to see today. I think I heard some music while I was taking pictures.

The procedure of review and acceptance of a proposed doctoral thesis is determined by the Rules of the Scientific Board of Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology at the Polish Academy of Sciences.
A condition for commencement of the procedure is having a scientific publication, published or accepted for printing, in form of a book, or at least one scientific publication in a reviewed scientific magazine of at least national circulation, or in a reviewed report on an international scientific conference. Before commencement of the procedure, the doctoral student is required to hold a seminar at his or her faculty.
The procedure of review and acceptance of the proposed doctoral thesis is commenced upon application of the doctoral student, submitted to the Director of the Institute.
1. To the application for review and acceptance of a doctoral thesis attached must be a scientific CV together with a list of publications, an opinion of the scientific advisor, and a copy of the diploma of completion of master studies or equivalent.
2. Together with the application for review and acceptance of a doctoral thesis, the doctoral student can present a certificate confirming his or her knowledge of a modern foreign language (list of certificates in Annex, 1 Journal of Laws of 2011, no. 204, item 13200), which exempts him or her from taking an foreign language exam.
The doctoral student can also submit an application for acceptance of presentation of the doctoral thesis in a language other than Polish.
All documents must be submitted to the Secretarial Office of the Scientific Board, room 119, not later than three weeks before the next meeting of the Scientific Board. The final deadline for submission of documents is announced in advance by the secretary of the Scientific Board before every meeting of the Board.
At the meeting of the Scientific Board, the doctoral student in a 5-minute presentation describes results achieved so far, the aim of the thesis and research plans.
Doctoral exams in a modern foreign language, philosophy and a basic discipline (biology or biochemistry) are taken after commencement of the procedure of review and acceptance of the doctoral thesis, before submission of the thesis and appointment of reviewers. The exam in a basic discipline can be taken after passing the other exams.

Rsyslog has some very useful features when building a centralized syslog system. If you are not currently centralizing your logs or have not organized them in an efferent way for analysis, this post will get you started in the right direction.
To understand how to create a filter, you must understand the basic breakdown of the message format. Below is a visual representation of a basic log. The rawmsg is the entire syslog line. If you use this in your filter, it will check the entire line for a match. The hostname field can match a name or an IP address. The programname field normally lists the application that created the log and the msg field is anything after the programname.
If you only want to forward a type of application logs to syslog, be more specific about what you want to send. If you do not need all the information in a log, filter out the noise. This will save disk space and speed up processing. In this example, we are only sending apache logs to the server.
To send the logs via UDP use one '@' sign and to send the logs via TCP use two '@@' signs.
Once you have several devices reporting to your syslog server, you will need to break the logs into different files to make analysis easier. Most often, you will want to group logs by application. Some of the common operators for filtering are contains, isequal, and startswith.
If you want rsyslog to stop process the line once you have a match, use & ~ on the next line. This prevents the line from being entered into multiple files (e.g. /var/log/my-log and /var/log/syslog).
To place all logs from one IP address into a single log, use the below example. It takes anything from the IP 10.10.41.12 and adds it to the /var/log/mail.log.
For devices in a cluster, you will likely want both device logs in the same file. In the following example both IP 10.10.10.3 and 10.10.10.4 logs are placed into the /var/log/firewall.log.
Use a partial IP match for lots of devices on a couple of subnets. In this example, anything that has a 10.20.0 address or 10.30.0 is placed into /var/log/load-balance.log. Rsyslog cannot use CIDR notation for subnets, but in most cases, this is a decent replacement.
To create a log for all authentications, the rule below will take any message that contains 'auth' and place it into the /var/log/remote-auth.log file.
A more complex filter to match both authentications and the word fail, use the below example.
Rsyslogs support very complex logic and syntax. For more information, visit the following links.


...AND to top it all off they are genuinely wonderful people. We got our dream home thanks to their expertise. I highly recommend working with them.
They should be called the "SOLID" sisters - Brigid and Marisa were there for us every step of the way during our home buying journey in Union County, an area they know so well.
We couldn't have asked for a better more responsive knowledgeable team!
Imagine having your phone calls promptly returned during the stressful process of selling your house.
I can honestly say this is the first time I have had fun buying a home.
The best of both worlds...with two agents working to help sell our home. We had 6 offers within the first week, and ended selling well above asking price!
We moved from Manhattan to purchase our first home and would have been lost without the Sold Sisters.
Brigid and Marisa were a delight to work with. They took the stress out of the process of selling our home in Westfield.
Sold Sisters are certainly one of the top realtors in the Westfield for a reason! Not only are they great at what they do - they genuinely care about their customers.
When a property is hot, a public open house may be your best opportunity for due diligence before submitting an offer.

World's smallest magnetic car mount.
The Caseco Core 360 magnetic car mount is the perfect phone holder for your car.
It docks your Samsung & iPhone devices to your dashboard in a snap.
Visible, accessible, and right where you need it.
360 degree rotation with tilt view 30 degrees to either side.
Metal ring (non-magnetic) attaches to your phone or hard case.
The Core 360 phone holder includes high quality 3M VHB adhesives and a powerful heavy duty neodymium magnet for secure and durable hold. Make sure that your android or iPhone Smartphone will stay in place even while driving fast on uneven roads.
The advanced design of this amazing magnetic car holder offers you a full 360 rotation, in both vertical and horizontal position while it can also be tilted. Keep an eye on your GPS or answer your calls hands-free, and drive with utmost safety. This handy holder is definitely a lifesaver for Uber and Lyft drivers.
Thanks to its smart design, the Core 360 comes with a Tilting action. This ensures that no matter where you install this holder, your device will always be facing you for easier access. This helps focus on the road for a safer driving experience.
This small phone holder comes with a screw at the bottom which makes it easier for anyone to adjust the tightness of the tilt-view function. So, if you have a heavier device, don't worry, Core 360 can be tightened to hold heavy loads too.
Unlike similar products that use magnetic rings for your phone that can demagnetize your credit cards causing you serious problems, this smart holder provides a metal ring that is not a magnet. The ring is ultra thin and almost invisible. It can be applied to any case or directly to any phone up to 1.3 LBS.
I tried putting this thing in my car with both sticky pads that came with and they kept falling off so I ordered another set online thinking that maybe it was just those ones that came with the package and even with the ones that I ordered after the fact this thing won't stay on.
This is so AWESOME!!! Very high quality!
This thing is super strong, very durable, and works amazing! When I got my order in the mail and looked at the box's packaging, I could tell this company is legit! The 30 day satisfaction guarantee told me they believe in their products - and now I know why! I ordered other products from Caseco and I will be happy to leave a review for those as well. Nothing disappointed - in fact, everything exceeded my expectations. Totally worth it. Thank you! I will purchase again for sure!
This is my favorite phone holder; I put one in every car.
I can think of no way to improve upon this design. Wait: the part that sticks to the phone did not stick well on the glass-back iPhones; however, it works great on aluminum backs and plastic backs. So it has no flaws now that no phones have glass backs.
Favorite magnetic mount on the market!!
I love these little mounts. Very minimalist only a small washer that is stuck onto your device. The washer doesn't get in the way in day to day use. The mount itself is very small and strong. Looks stylish and does its job very well.

South American Adventure
Storytelling in Peru and Argentina June 12th – July 7th
More stories to follow but here's my version of a Peruvian tale to whet your appetite.
Condor fell in love with Nina as soon as he spied her from on high.
Nina and the Condor
Nina's father was a llama farmer who lived not far from Lake Titicaca in the mountains of Peru.
One morning while Nina was tending the llamas, a handsome young man dressed in a black poncho appeared and asked if she'd like to play a game.
Before she could answer, he whisked her up, sat her on his shoulders and set off running around the field. She quite enjoyed this unexpected encounter and giggled while she jiggled looking at the surprised expressions on the llamas' faces.
After a while he came to a halt saying it was her turn to carry him. He claimed he was light as a feather.As he launched himself onto her shoulders, the bemused llamas rushed towards the pair spitting at the eyes of the man. But they were too late. He was a man no more. He'd turned into a great black vulture. Gripped by his talons, Nina rose up from the ground and was taken to an eyrie on a mountain ledge.
How foolish she felt. To be kidnapped by a condor. What would her father say about this?
The condor had fallen in love with Nina the moment he'd spied her from on high, and hoped that if he was kind to her she would marry him.
Unfortunately for him, things aren't always that simple.
He brought her a guinea pig to eat but she refused it.
He brought her a chihuahua.
He brought her a baby vicuna, then an armadillo, all to which she said no.
The condor was at its wit's end, when a hummingbird the size of a peccary flew by and told him that humans don't like to eat dead animals unless they're cooked, and it just so happens that in a nearby village, an alpaca was being roasted on the spit at this very moment.
The condor sped off and the giant humming bird flew down to the girl's father and told him his daughter had been stolen away and was trapped in a bird's nest. The shocked man tied together all of the ropes he could find in his village telling the hummingbird to rescue his daughter. Oh, and by the way, he also put a black toad on the bird's head.
Nina was slightly surprised to see a giant hummingbird hovering above her with a toad on its head, but she was very pleased to be offered a rope of rescue which she fastened around a rock to climb down from the ledge.
When the condor returned with a large piece of roasted alpaca he was confused to see a black toad in his nest. The hummingbird told him that Nina had become a toad because of the way the condor had treated her.
In anger the condor killed the hummingbird and pecked him into fifty pieces and snaffled them down. Suddenly a hole appeared in the condor's breast and out flew fifty small hummingbirds each with different coloured feathers.
The toad belched and the hole healed instantly.
Even though the condor was disappointed that Nina had changed her shape, he was still happy to share his nest with her, and as far as I know, unless you can tell me otherwise, they both lived happily ever after.

Fat Beehive actively seek to work with, and direct our marketing towards, charity, not-for-profit, non-governmental and social enterprise organisations.
See recent work on our homepage, and our approach to website development here.
Fat Beehive started out in website design by winning work with Cafédirect, the fair trade coffee company. We were very attracted to and wanted to support, the fair trade principle of using business to deliver better outcomes for producers: the idea of running a company for something other than pure profit.
We then turned our attention to its neighbour, website design for charity, figuring that we could apply a similar approach of supporting charity organisations with efficient, cost effective charity web design.
We have always favoured providing our web design services to charity organisations that are doing something positive, helpful and constructive. From the International Justice Mission fighting cybersex trafficking to the Tommy's who are the UK's leading charity working to achieve safer pregnancy for all women. We want to provide cost-effective, supported website development to these fantastic organisations and more.
And there are plenty of organisations that might not seem like charities but are engaged in essential work in a range of fields. For example, Schroder Charity Trust who administer hundreds of grants across the UK third sector, while Union Chapel are an award-winning venue and a working church. We're also partnering with the British Academy to update and improve their UX, design, site structure and content.
Providing web design to charity, not-for-profit, NGO and social enterprise organisations means that we engage with enthusiastic, dedicated people who are working hard to make a difference in a multitude of ways.
We want to support, aid and encourage these organisations and we make considerable efforts to provide our services to organisations of all sizes and budgets. As a profitable private limited company, we have the flexibility and efficiency in website design to offer effective, high quality, supported web development to a wide range of clients.

Mischa Barton Likens Competing on Dancing With the Stars to the Cutthroat World of The Hunger Games
By Devon Ivie

Regrets? Mischa Barton has a few. The former O.C. star had quite a short run on ABC's adored competition series Dancing With the Stars earlier this year, where she and her partner Artem Chigvintsev were eliminated in the second round due to, let's face it, some pretty mediocre dancing. A second-to-last finish would understandably be frustrating for any competitive person, and Barton certainly isn't immune to that feeling, as she's now speaking out about how much she fully regrets being on the show. "Ugh. I had no idea it would be so bad," she told the Ringer. "I got told off by my dancer. I was supposed to control the costumes, I was told that I could do the design aspect of it, that's kind of the reason why I agreed to do it."
Barton said that the show had been courting her for years to be a contestant, but she declined until she was given more creative control. "That didn't happen. It wasn't collaborative like a choreographer on a film set … I was so confused by it," she explained. "It was like The Hunger Games. It was all a popularity contest. It was awful. I was so glad to get kicked off." However, in some weird way, Barton says she was grateful for the experience, because it got her more interested in learning about pop culture and controlling her narrative on social media. "I remember the days when you had no voice, and they could make up stories and say whatever they wanted, and now at least they have an insight into your life," she said. "People can see what you're really like." That Mirrorball Trophy works in mysterious ways.

Mischa Barton Hated Dancing With the Stars


I just love it! At just over $60, this hat is a Christmas miracle. It's everything it promises to be, with plenty of stretch and arctic-level thickness. It's lined inside with fleece, and the pom-pom is HUGE!
Kyi Kyi very proudly claims to make the best pom-pom beanies ever, and their claims are pretty well-founded. They were born from a leading winter-wear company in Canada that was founded decades ago, so they know what they're doing.
As far as I'm concerned? This hat is proof!
I know how hard it is to find the perfect winter accessory in an Amazon-Roulette world (love me some Amazon, but it's almost always a hit or miss with quality).
This post isn't sponsored, nor was it requested by the Kyi Kyi team. I'm just happy to have found a perfect hat, so I had to tell you guys about it. For real, I'll be back for more colors in the chunky knit style. In my opinion, it's the cutest one they make.
Rejoice, my friends! The hunt for the best pom-pom beanie is over!


should build speex on various ARM platforms?
samples, as found on a CD.
speex_resampler_process_float(), convert back to s16.

I am going to extend this thought in another e-mail.

Skin care labels and ingredient lists are oftentimes long and confusing. Many of us try hard to make good food choices, we are becoming increasingly aware of ingredients to avoid in our foods, making conscious efforts to avoid chemicals and preservatives, and eating healthier foods. But how many of us read the labels of our personal care products?It is just as important to be informed about what is in your skin care products, so you can make the best choice for your body, your family and the environment. What we put ON our body is just as important as what we put IN our body. Our skin the largest organ in our body, everything you put on your body is absorbed by your skin.Have you ever stopped to think how many products you put on your body and face in one day, especially first thing in the morning? On average, women use 12 skincare products a day and men use six. Take a second to count how many products you use in the morning including toothpaste, mouth wash, shampoo, conditioner, soap, shaving gel, moisturizers, lotions, facial cleansers, perfume/cologne, deodorant and that's just the basics. Many of us also incorporate several make-up products, cosmetics and other specialized skin care products into our routines. It adds up quickly. Do you know what is in these products you put on your body every day?Have a look at your favorite skincare product or the one closest to you and read the ingredients. Can you pronounce most them? Is water a main ingredient? Are there any common ingredients? Is the list long and confusing? Ingredient lists (for food and for skin care) are always listed by quantity, in descending order, from highest to lowest. This means the first ingredient listed is always the highest content in the product, the next ingredient is the second highest and so on. There are FDA rules and regulations that require companies to label their products this way. If a product advertises a particular ingredient but it is listed near the end of the ingredient list, then there is not much of that ingredient present.So what ingredients should you avoid?There are literally hundreds, even thousands of chemicals that go into products every day. This can be overwhelming. Start simply by reading your labels and trying to avoid these 3 ingredients: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Parabens and Fragrances.1. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES)Why it is used? SLS and SLES are used in cosmetics and personal care products as a detergent and to make products bubble and foam. Problems: SLS has been known to irritate skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Over-exposure to SLS has been linked to eye damage, depression, laboured breathing, diarrhoea and severe skin irritation. Dandruff, dermatitis, canker sores and other skin issues may be due to SLS use. SLS may be retained by your body for up to five days. It may also damage the liver and may emit toxic fumes when heated. It pollutes groundwater and is also toxic to fish and other aquatic animals. Commonly found in: Lotions, soaps, shampoos, bubble bath, toothpaste, dish soap, laundry detergent, and shave cream. Look out for Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Sodium Laureth Sulfate on your labels.2. ParabensWhy it is used? Parabens are widely used in products as a preservative. In personal care products, it is used to prevent bacteria growth. It is inexpensive and effective.Problems: Parabens may interfere with hormone function and have been associated with breast cancer. They are widely used in skin care products even though they are known to be toxic.In the 1990s parabens were deemed xenoestrogens, which have the ability to mimic estrogen in the body. "Estrogen disruption" has been linked to breast cancer and reproductive issues. Parabens have been found to be present in malignant breast tumors. The concern about parabens is that it is unknown whether they are stored in the body and that they could have a cumulative effect and pose a health risk. Experts recommend limiting paraben levels.Commonly found in: Moisturizers, shampoos, soap, mascara, foundation, make-up, and body lotions. Look out for ingredients with "paraben" in their name (methylparaben, butylparaben, propylparaben, isobutylparaben, ethylparaben). 3. Synthetic fragrances and ParfumWhy it is used? Fragrances are used to produce a pleasant scent. The term "fragrance" or "parfum" on a personal care ingredient list usually hides a complex mixture of dozens of chemicals. Some 3,000 chemicals are used as fragrances. It is incredibly cheap to scent a product artificially, and those scents tend to have a stronger odor with much less oil. Problems: The FDA does not require fragrance manufacturers to disclose the ingredients of synthetic fragrances because these formulas are regarded as "proprietary" and "trade secrets." Such "proprietary" ingredients commonly include numerous known carcinogens but are protected under the FDA's "trade secret" law. One fragrance in one personal care product—for instance, your moisturizer—can consist of as many as 200 chemicals combined to come up with that particular scent.A 1986 report by the National Academy of Sciences reports that 95 percent of the chemicals used in synthetic fragrances are derived from petroleum and include benzene derivatives, phthalates (which has been banned in toys), aldehydes and many other known toxins capable of causing cancer, birth defects, central nervous system disorders and allergic reactions — some of which are cited on the EPA's hazardous waste list.Manufacturers use more than 3,000 chemicals in personal care products that are being absorbed, inhaled, and ingested daily.Commonly found in: Fragrance is an obvious ingredient in perfumes, colognes, and deodorants, but it's used in nearly every type of personal care and cleaning product. Artificial scents and fragrances are commonly found in lotions, shampoos, conditioners, body washes, soap bars, exfoliators, hand soap, bubble bath, moisturizers, shaving creams, make-up and cosmetics as well as air fresheners, cleaning products, dish soap, baby wipes, candles, dryer sheets and laundry detergents. Even products marketed as "fragrance-free" or "unscented" may in fact contain fragrance along with a masking agent that prevents the brain from perceiving odour.I try to avoid ALL products with the ingredient "fragrance" on the label. Organic essential oils are a great alternative!Where to StartStart to make a conscience effort to read the labels of everything you put ON your body. Next time you use your favorite skincare product, read the ingredient list. When you are in the shower, read the ingredient list as you scrub. While you brush your teeth, read the ingredient list on your toothpaste. Being aware of the ingredients you are putting ON your body is the best place to start.
