Turmeric — A key ingredient in South Asian cuisine, this spice is perhaps the most beneficial to heaith. It has many medicinal properties, including being an antiseptic top cuts, burns and bruises and as a dietary supplement that aids in digestion. In Japan, it’s served as a tea. it is being studied for potential benefits in Alzheimer’s disease, cancer and other conditions.

S.M.A.R.T objectives

One of the acronyms that managers are familiar with is S.MA.R.T., which represents the characteristics of an effective objective, i.e., specific, measurable, attainable, result-oriented, and time-hound.

SMART. objectives provide employees direction and encourage them to focus their efforts on activities that contribute to meeting their goals. They facilitate the desired orientation toward delivering results. For managers, SMART. objectives facilitate measurement, monitoring, and evaluation. In fact, researchers have documented the contribution of effective objective setting to task performance.

Objectives are generally set such that employees are challenged to stretch and improve their performance. Quantitative targets, for instance are almost always, set to be above last year’s performance. This stretch is good in the sense that it allows employees to optimize their potential. When targets are too easy, they become boring, so challenging objectives serve as a motivation. The stretch, of course, is in support of the demand and the aspiration of the organization to always have a better performance.

While challenging objectives are good, they should be realistic or attainable. Unrealistic objectives have the tendency to make employees lose heart and even exert less effort because they believe it is for a lost cause. It causes a lot of stress, and stress can lead to other behavioral or performance problems. Unrealistic objectives can also cause employees to rebel or disengage, thereby impacting adversely on performance.

The figures do not lie. From January to July of this year, Apple owned a commanding 76% market share in the digital media player category in the US. This means that every three out of four players sold is an iPod. Short of proclaiming global domination, what’s there left to do for the Cupertino-based company? Get the other 24% by making newer and better iPods of course! A lot of iFans may have be disappointed by the apparent absence of a true video iPod in the 2006 lineup, but at least, both the nano and shuffle line have received interesting tweaks.

Nano-The mini and nano combined into one.

Is it a mini or is it a nano? The answer is both! The second Generation nano’s casing is now made of scratch-resistant anodized aluminum similar to the 2004 mini. Fashionistas will dig the new nano’s six colors, black being exclusive to the 8GB model. The biggest improvement though is the nano’s 24-hour battery life.

Shuffle-goodbye to USB pen drive player.

The USB drive form factor is out. The new shuffle goes for steel appeal and gets downsized in the process. Of all the new iPods, it’s the shuffle that has gone through the most dramatic transformation. It’s only a tad larger than an iPod remote and now sports the same anodized aluminum shell found on the new nano. Included with the shuffle is a built-in clip.

iPod-Flagships sail the high seas.

Avast! It wasn’t the large screen video Pod that we were expecting. Nonetheless, there were some welcome upgrades to Apple’s flagship player. The screen is now 60% brighter compared to the 2005 model. Replacing the 60 gig model is a whopping 80 gigger iPod with the 30 gig model having a reduced SRP. Both the 30GB and 80GB models feature improved battery life, new gaming capability, and a search feature.

Mineral makeup is made from naturally occurring pigments from the earth. It’s non-comodegenic (non-pore clogging) and so doesn’t irritate the skin or even penetrate it , making it the perfect solution for sensitive and mature skin and a good alternative for those who want to keep their skin beautiful and problem free.

Revlon introduces another first in the market with ColorStay Mineral Mousse Makeup, a foundation that combines the brand’s exclusive ground breaking and long-wearing ColorStay technology and the benefits of mineral makeup. The whipped mousse formula contains pure minerals and an SPF20 and lasts for 6 hours without being heavy or having a mask-like effect. The best part is that the makeup is talc- and paraben-free and very gentle on the skin.

Speaking of mineral makeup, Shiseido has announced that itw( buy Bare Escentuals, the company that started it all in terms of mineral makeup, for $17 billion. After the sale, Bare Escentuals will operate as a separate division of Shiseido under current chief executive Leslie Blodgett, who is nearly as popular in the United States as the company’s line of mineral-based makeup and is considered an icon by the brand’s followers.

BareEscentuals sells its hit bareMinerals foundation and other skin and body care products•through department stores, specialty retailers and direct marketing.  The company says its mineral foundation, which resembles loose powder, leaves the skin sills’ and flawless without potential chemical irritants.

This study sought to determine the feasibility and safety of chronic vagus stimulation in patients with heart failure, It tested the hypothesis that direct stimulation of the vagus nerve would simultaneously reduce sympathetic hyperactivity and increase vagal activity to correct autonomic imbalance and thereby obtain beneficial results similar to those obtained in animals.

“Current treatments include using drugs such as beta blockers, diuretics and ACE inhibitors to correct hyperactivation of the sympathetic nervous system, which we know to be deleterious. Biventricular pacing is also beneficial in patients with CHF, but still, about one- third of patients do not respond to this therapy,” said Dr. Gaetano M. Dc Ferrari, head of the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit Policlinico San Matteo, Pavia, Italy. “We first performed vagal stimulation in conscious animals 20 years ago with Dr. Peter J. Schwartz, chairman of cardiology at the University of Pavia in Italy, resulting in a striking decrease in sudden death after myocardial infarction. More recently, K. Sunagawa in Japan and A. Sabbah in the USA showed that chronic vagal stimulation in animals with heart failure markedly improves left ventricular function and survival.”

The multicenter European study (Principle Investigator, RJ. Schwartz) included 32 patients with NYHA functional class lI-IV heart failure, in sinus rhythm and stable clinical condition, Patients had a mean left ventricular ejection fraction of 22.5 percent at study entry. The patients were implanted with the CardioFitTM (BioControl,Yehud, Israel) vagus nerve stimulation system.The device delivers heart rate synchronized electrical pulses to the right cervical vagus nerve via a cuff electrode to enhance efferent parasympathetic activity. After a three-week recovery period, the patients entered the uptitration phase of the study, where the electrical current was progressively increased to the maximal level tolerable by the patient. The study end points were feasibility and safety at six months. Left ventricular ejection fraction, NYHA functional class, exercise capacity as measured by six-minute walk test (how many meters the patient could walk in six minutes), and quality of life were also examined. After six months, the mean ejection fraction increased slightly, but significantly, from 22.5 percent to 26.6 percent. Half of the patients had a decrease of at least one NYHA class, and the six-minute walk significantly increased from 410 meters to 471 meters.

Quality of life, which was rated by the patients themselves on the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure (MLwHP®) questionnaire, also significantly improved, going from 48 to 32.”Part of the benefit might be due to a placebo effect, but these benefits persisted for six months. Usually the placebo effect lasts only for one or two months7De Ferrari said.”Still, we showed that chronic vagal stimulation in patients with advanced CHF is feasible, well-tolerated and safe. Further control studies are needed to confirm these initial, first—in-man results.”
