SCIENTISTS FIND A HOST OF TOXIC CHEMICALS IN NAME BRAND LIPSTICK - health - Duration: 9:14.
SCIENTISTS FIND A HOST OF TOXIC CHEMICALS IN NAME BRAND LIPSTICK & OTHER COSMETIC PRODUCTS
A study released by the University of California, Berkeley (UBC) School of Public health has
found many conventional lipstick products to contain dangerously high levels of aluminum,
cadmium, lead, and other toxins. Researchers tested over 30 popular lipstick products and
found this to be the case. The study was published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives.
Even women using minimal amounts of product still increase their risk of developing harmful
health conditions like nerve damage and cancer by an alarming amount.
According to the study:
Most of the tested lip products contained high concentrations of titanium and aluminum.
All examined products had detectable manganese. Lead was detected in 24 products (75%), with
an average concentration of 0.36 � 0.39 ppm, including one sample with 1.32 ppm. When
used at the estimated average daily rate, estimated intakes were > 20% of ADIs derived
for aluminum, cadmium, chromium, and manganese. In addition, average daily use of 10 products
tested would result in chromium intake exceeding our estimated ADI for chromium. For high rates
of product use (above the 95th percentile), the percentages of samples with estimated
metal intakes exceeding ADIs were 3% for aluminum, 68% for chromium, and 22% for manganese. Estimated
intakes of lead were < 20% of ADIs for average and high use.
A daily intake of these cosmetics would result in a large exposure to chromium, a carcinogen
that has been linked to stomach tumours. Average use of these products could result in overexposure
to aluminum, cadmium, and manganese. Exposure to high concentrations of manganese has been
linked to high toxicity levels in the nervous system. Lead was also detected, and no level
of lead exposure is safe for anybody.
�Just finding these metals isn�t the issue; it�s the levels that matter. Some of the
toxic metals are occurring at levels that could possibly have an effect in the long
term.�
� Katharine Hammond, professor of environmental health sciences and principal investigator
in the study
The amount of metals found definitely needs to be brought to the attention of health regulators.
But we have a problem here, as health regulators are usually connected to the corporations
that develop these products in the first place. The real solution is to just stop using them.
We are sold on the idea that we need these beauty products and yet they are filled with
harmful chemicals. Are we not beautiful anyway? Right now there are no standards in the United
States for metal content in cosmetics, which is deeply disturbing. They can pretty much
put whatever they please into them, and it doesn�t take long for the bloodstream to
absorb whatever we put onto bodies.
The truth is, many of the ingredients in personal care and beauty products aren�t so pretty.
U.S. researchers have found that one in eight of the 82,000 ingredients used in cosmetic
and personal care products are hazardous industrial chemicals. This means that 10,500 industrial
chemicals are used as cosmetic ingredients, many of which are carcinogens, pesticides,
reproductive toxins, endocrine disruptors, plasticizers (chemicals that keep concrete
soft), degreasers (used to get grime off auto parts), and surfactants (they reduce surface
tension in water, like in paint and inks). And these go on our skin and into the environment.
Did you know that everyday chemical exposure is among the leading causes of the most common
cases of chronic disease in America?
What Happens To Your Body When You Switch or Stop Using Cosmetic Products
A new study led by researchers at UC Berkeley and Clinica de Salud del Valle Salinas has
demonstrated how taking even a short break from various cosmetics, shampoos, and other
personal care products can lead to a substantial drop in the levels of hormone-disrupting chemicals
present within the body.
The results from the study were published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives.
Researchers gave 100 Latina teenagers various personal care products that were labelled
to be free of common chemicals including phthalates, parabens, triclosan, and oxybenzone. These
chemicals are used regularly in almost all conventional personal care products such as
cosmetics, soap, sunscreen, shampoo, conditioner, and other hair products, and animal studies
have shown that they directly interfere with the body�s endocrine system.
�Because women are the primary consumers of many personal care products, they may be
disproportionately exposed to these chemicals,� said study lead author Kim Harley, Associate
Director of the UC Berkeley Center for Environmental Research and Children�s Health. �Teen
girls may be at particular risk since it�s a time of rapid reproductive development,
and research has suggested that they use more personal care products per day than the average
adult woman.�
Results
After just a three-day trial with the girls using only the lower-chemical products, urine
samples showed a significant drop in the level of chemicals in the body. Methyl and propyl
parabens, commonly used as preservatives in cosmetics, dropped 44% and 45%, respectively,
while metabolites of diethyl phthalate, used often in perfumes, dropped by 27%, and both
triclosan and benzophenone-3 fell 36%. The authors of the study were surprised to see
an increase in two lesser common parabens, but those levels were small and could easily
be caused by accidental contamination or a substitute not listed on the labels.
Co-director of the study Kimberly Parra explains why having local youths participate in the
study was of particular importance:
The results of the study are particularly interesting on a scientific level, but the
fact that high school students led the study set a new path to engaging youth to learn
about science and how it can be used to improve the health of their communities. After learning
of the results, the youth took it upon themselves to educate friends and community members,
and presented their cause to legislatures in Sacramento.
Included in the CHAMACOS Youth Council were 12 local high school students who helped design
and implement the study; one of the teen researchers, Maritza C�rdenas, is now a UC Berkely Undergraduate
majoring in molecular and cell biology.
�One of the goals of our study was to create awareness among the participants of the chemicals
found in everyday products, to help make people more conscious about what they�re using,�
said C�rdenas. �Seeing the drop in chemical levels after just three days shows that simple
actions can be taken, such as choosing products with fewer chemicals, and make a difference.�
What Can You Do?
Well, you can be sure to check the labels on any products you purchase. Most personal
care products contain a list of ingredients, but unfortunately many cosmetics do not. If
you use a particular brand that you really love you can try contacting the manufacturer
directly and asking them for an ingredient list.
You can also opt for more natural and organic products, but be sure to keep in mind that
in the industry of personal care products, the words �natural� and �organic�
are often meaningless. A safe bet would be to buy these products from a health food store
and be sure to read the ingredients or ask the sales clerk. Generally, when products
do not contain specific chemicals, the manufacturers are happy to label them as such.
Because actually natural and organic products can be a bit more pricey, you may want to
consider making your own. You can make a wide array of completely natural personal care
products quite easily with just a few ingredients. Not only is this cheaper, but it allows you
to be sure of every ingredient that will go on your body and to customize your creations
to suit your specific needs. Check out �Top 5 DIY Everyday Personal Care Products� for
some great homemade make-up ideas, or try a quick Google or Pinterest search!
The less demand for these chemically-laden products there is, the less these chemicals
will be used. I�ve said it before and I�ll say it again: VOTE WITH YOUR DOLLAR! We have
the power to create the type of world we want. Be the change.

What's Up for May 2017 - Duration: 1:51.
[ ♪ ]
What's Up for May?
Jupiter at its best,
Saturn rises in the late evening sky,
and the moon dances with the planets.
Hello and welcome! I'm Jane Houston Jones from
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
Jupiter climbs higher in the southeast sky
earlier in the evening this month.
This means that telescope viewers don't have to
wait until midnight to get good views of the planet.
You can enjoy Jupiter through binoculars, too.
Through binoculars, you should be able to see
Jupiter's four Galilean moons:
Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto
and watch them change position from night to night.
Our moon appears near Jupiter from May 5-8.
The moon joins Venus and Mercury in the eastern sky
just before sunrise on May 22 and 23.
And it pairs up with red Mars just after sunset
in the west-northwest sky on May 26.
[ whoosh ]
Saturn is now visible before midnight,
rising around 11:30 p.m. in early May
and by 9:30 p.m. later in the month.
The best time to see Saturn is when it is highest in the sky.
That's after midnight this month,
before midnight in June,
and by early evening in July.
Through your telescope you may see some of Saturn's cloud bands
and even a glimpse at Saturn's north polar region,
so beautifully captured by NASA's Cassini spacecraft.
You can catch up on solar systems (like Cassini)
and all of NASA's missions at: www.nasa.gov
That's all for this month. I'm Jane Houston Jones.

Minecraft Xbox One Recording: First Time at Glide Score Attack (19) - Duration: 4:59.
That intro music
All right, all right, get it out of your system. Stupid Xbox One refused to upload my very first attempt on the Glide Score Attack Mini-game.
I guess my phone's light was on, so that is why everything is so blurry.
Going to be honest. Time Attack was more my speed no pun intended. I like Score Attack, I'm just no good at it.
And yes, I have no idea what the proper routes were. Title of the video. First Score Attack, so yes, I'm terrible at this.
That's two deaths. Getting the idea that I am not that great yet?
That is something I wanted to try to do so much was nail all three of those rings.
Four.
Sigh, five.
And I do nail it, but every time I play this, I try to do that all over again.
And get over the finish line. That would be cool too.
Oh and six.
And just barely over the finish line.

Fitu viewpoint - Duration: 1:26.
At 1,100 meters above sea level, you will find the Mirador del Fitu.
It is one of those few places that allows a spectacular 360º vision around it.
Within our reach we can see more than 100 kilometers of cliff coast and beaches,
and many others of mountain: being able to see to the distance between others, the National Park
of the Picos de Europa (that we could visit and whose link I leave you above).
And localities like Ribadesella, Cangas de Onís and Covadonga. (Which we also visit
and to which I will also leave the link)
The gazebo, inaugurated in 1927, is known by locals as the 'Cazu', for its
cup shape. Although it reminds me of a flying saucer
that a few meters from the ground has deployed stairs to tread ground and that
its strange occupants come to visit us.
In addition, it is the starting point of numerous hiking trails that allow you to reach
much higher peaks and also with impressive panoramas.
The access to the viewpoint of Fito is very comfortable, it is done by car and from here we will start
the trekking to these other peaks.
Good family, I say goodbye for now. This is backpacking trips, I Julio Gomez.
Do not forget to leave your likes and comments. I subscribe to discover new interesting places
and I wait for you at the next stop. A hug, family.

What does Repurposing Video Content mean? - Duration: 6:14.
hi guys i'm julie from shotgun media
thanks for joining me once again on
another episode of down the barrel this
week I'm going to talk to you about what
repurposing video content means so stay
tuned and don't forget to subscribe
you're among a vast minority if you
haven't heard the phrase content is
king some time recently if you want to
grow your business if you want to build
a following if you want to establish
your brand content is king and while
content can be defined as anything from
a blog post to a podcast the most
popular and widely consumed type of
content today is video video remains the
most effective way to tell a story and
connect with your audience but and I'm
sure this isn't news to you videos can
be tricky and at times costly to produce
in a world where content is clearly king
what can you do to continue your reach
of audience without breaking the bank by
producing countless videos the answer is
in repurposing which allows you to
extend the life of your existing content
so you're not constantly going back to
the drawing board looking for new ideas
so what is repurposing first it's
important to understand what repurposing
is not many business owners take an old
piece of content whether it's a video
blog post they update it slightly to
remain relevant and then promote it on
social media every few months this is
not repurposing rather it's revamping
revamping is when you use a piece of
content for the same purpose or audience
it was originally intended for
repurposing on the other hand is when
you either change the format of the
content so for example turn a blog post
into a video and change the target
audience for that content let's say your
original video was targeted at a small
to midsize business owners and you've
re-edited it to apply to a new business
type revamping is an effective strategy
and by all means can be used as a
complementary component for repurposing
if for example you want to convert or
attract more people at the same buyer
persona in the same part of the buyers
journey then a revamp is your best
choice in
terms of video revamping is clearly the
easier quicker option most times you can
simply reshare promote your video so
maybe times you have to change a few
titles or credits to keep it fresh but
in general revamping a video requires
little effort on your part however if
you want to attract will convert more
people in an entirely different segment
then you're looking to fully repurpose
your content since we're focused on video
here most times they're not repurposing
won't include changing the format of the
content rather your focus on trying to
change the target audience so how do you
go about doing that create a long-term
lifecycle strategy for your videos as we
referenced earlier video production can
be timely in costly and unlike a simple
blog post it's not that easy to make
changes or update to a piece of video
content that's why your best approach to
creating video content you can repurpose
is to develop a long-term strategy plan
first prior to shooting or even script
in your video jot down all of the
potential audiences you'd like to target
as a business note how we did not say
the potential audiences you'd like to
target with this video that's because
it's fairly common to creative video
targeted at one narrow audience new
customers prospect located within a
certain demographic etc etc so the
reason you want to remind yourself of
all of your potential audiences is that
during your shoot you can record several
pieces of footage that speak to each
audience segment sure the piece you
originally edit and publish might be
targeted at one segment but by recording
variances of your messaging you can have
footage years later when you decide it's
time to repurpose your content why
shouldn't you just record a new video
every time you want to reach a new
audience well to fill a question with a
fairly simple answer return on your
investment a well-produced video
requires a large production team on-air
talent editors are set and more it also
takes a long time to reduce it's worth
your while to make the most of the
production team you have on hand by
preparing for all the what-ifs that may
pop up down the road that way the
commitment you made to producing one
video could evolve into production of
several videos aimed at helping you
reach the widest possible audience now
approach it from me for creating videos
that can
repurposed is to avoid including shots
or references to anything that's
extremely timely while all the videos
will look dated regardless due to
technology and wardrobes etc you can
prolong the life of your videos by not
including references to faz new bits or
old things that have short shelf life re
persons other content to video we'd be
remiss to ignore one of the greatest
asset of repurposing taking one piece of
content and changing its form most
businesses are well versed in the
benefits of blogging posting a 700 word
article online is fairly quick and easy
particularly if you're comfortable with
wrestling with words that's why many
businesses have dozens if not hundreds
of articles posted on their website
these articles are a repurposing
goldmine each article has the ability to
become a short yet effective video that
you can promote through your audience's
the goal here is to create a formula or
template for these article based videos
by creating a template you can minimize
the amount of time it takes to adapt
each article into video form you could
repurpose a glorified slideshow you
could record one person talking on a
screen or you can do as the company Moz
does with their whiteboard Friday
segments no matter what style you choose
the goal is to give your original
article more legs there's no reason why
one piece of content should be limited
to one type of audience or even one type
of content repurposing along with
revamping gives you the ability to
produce a massive amount of content
without constantly worrying about what
else you could possibly talk about with
a little bit of strategy at the
forefront you can be well on your way to
producing the types of videos that will
serve as a hub for your marketing engine
for many years to come
