Herbal Supplements Contain Unlabeled Plants, Fillers – The Weather Channel [ BeritaTerkini ]

<p>Consumers looking to fight off colds this winter might want to consider something other than herbal supplements. Many people might already be weary of foods mislabeled as all-natural. Now, consumers should also be suspicious of herbal products contaminated or substituted with alternative plant species and fillers not listed on the labels, according to a study from the University of Guelph, Ontario published in the journal <em>BMC Medicine.</em></p> <p><strong>(ABOVE: Surprising “All-Natural” Foods that Might Be Fakes)</strong></p> <p>A DNA analysis tested the authenticity of 44 herbal products (primarily capsules) from 12 companies. Nearly half of the products were considered authentic — indicating that they contained DNA from a species that matched the main ingredient on the label — but many of those products still contained ingredients not listed on the label.</p> <p>Out of the 44 total products, 30 featured product substitution. Only two out of the 12 companies tested did not feature any substitution, contamination or the inclusion of fillers. Some of these contaminants could even pose serious health risks to consumers.</p> <p><strong>(MORE: There’s HOW Much Sugar in This?)</strong></p> <p>One product labeled as St. John’s wort — a plant believed to alleviate mild depression — actually contained Senna alexandrina, which is a Food and Drug Administration-approved laxative that can cause side effects from prolonged use — such as chronic diarrhea, liver damage and abdominal pain.</p> <p>“Currently there are no standards for authentication of herbal products,” the study authors concluded. “Although there is considerable evidence of the health benefits of herbal medicine, the industry suffers from unethical activities by some of the manufacturers, which includes false advertising, product substitution, contamination and use of fillers.”</p> <p>Researchers hope to build a DNA library that companies can use to guarantee their products are authentic.</p> <p><br><br><br></p> <hr> //<!--[CDATA[ jQuery(".gmframe").load(function (){jQuery(this).remove();}); //]]--> <br><br>

In 1947, she brought one of her most memorable wealthy dowagers to the screen as Mrs. Hamilton in the holiday fantasy <i>The Bishop's Wife</i>. This time, though, there was a twist; the imperious widow's hardened heart<i> </i>was melted by no less an angel than Cary Grant - giving Cooper the rare chance to render both harsh and tender facets of her character. </span><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKFLygBLTIvGFgELzYhligaE67sSh4cfOGtLXV16TCaCw5aEA7i_5lWRpyhaoMAu4hDQLMudxz7gY1HXE-J0lmZKLs-VIG_h_s2miioeyivdknBNcq0LecNNxvmgfIUM46vjPtRHH6rPI/s1600/Bishop.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="275" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKFLygBLTIvGFgELzYhligaE67sSh4cfOGtLXV16TCaCw5aEA7i_5lWRpyhaoMAu4hDQLMudxz7gY1HXE-J0lmZKLs-VIG_h_s2miioeyivdknBNcq0LecNNxvmgfIUM46vjPtRHH6rPI/s400/Bishop.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Gladys Cooper and Cary Grant, <i>The Bishop's Wife</i></span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The 1950s brought the actress far more work on television that in films, but she would add one more notable ill-tempered and overbearing mother to her gallery of silver screen harridans.

Most often talked about among her many TV performances, though, are her appearances on the venerable series, <i>The</i> <i>Twilight Zone</i>. Cooper first appeared in a haunting 1962 episode entitled "Nothing in the Dark," in which she portrayed an elderly woman utterly terrified of death (personified by fledgling actor Robert Redford). Her second guest spot came the following year when she played one of several elderly travelers who have booked "Passage on the Lady Anne." Finally, later in 1963, came "Night Call," directed by Jacques Tourneur, in which she starred solo as an elderly woman who lives alone and begins to receive unnerving, anonymous phone calls.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now in her mid-70s, Gladys Cooper still had a last good film or two ahead of her. She was a member of John Huston's illustrious cast in <i>The List of Adrian Messenger </i>(1963) and earned her third and final Academy Award nomination for her performance as Mrs. Higgins, mother of Henry (<a href="http://eves-reel-life.blogspot.com/2013/08/summer-under-stars-unfaithfully-rex.html"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Rex Harrison</span></a>), in the Oscar-winning musical, <i>My Fair Lady </i>(1964).</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And that's not all. Before she embarked on her Hollywood career, Cooper had starred on Broadway several times. She returned to the New York stage in her late career and earned Tony nominations in her final two roles. She was nominated for Best Actress in a Play in 1956 for her performance in <i>The Chalk Garden</i> and again in 1962 for her performance in <i>A Passage to India</i> (in a role that would bring an Oscar to Peggy Ashcroft 20+ years later).</span><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGnBwKCYAxxIDxN7jI9LjjQnCEx-7uGTqDUv1fjUVrozPrl3_pjkk34qWF0pK5G07dbtmgplrFW0yR1pUqLNhV1YTRJ7NKe_Ec5uUQi5Rk4DdzbqOIwD8wiWAOxGvBX8uo7fVzAtucVkI/s1600/chalk_garden_revival.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGnBwKCYAxxIDxN7jI9LjjQnCEx-7uGTqDUv1fjUVrozPrl3_pjkk34qWF0pK5G07dbtmgplrFW0yR1pUqLNhV1YTRJ7NKe_Ec5uUQi5Rk4DdzbqOIwD8wiWAOxGvBX8uo7fVzAtucVkI/s400/chalk_garden_revival.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Gladys Cooper (center) in a 1971 revival of <i>The Chalk Garden</i></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At last, in 1967, as she approached 80, Gladys Cooper was named a Dame of the British Empire. Her life in the public eye had begun because of the great beauty with which she was naturally endowed; she was long considered the most beautiful woman in England. But Cooper was blessed with more than looks, she had striking talent and presence and profound devotion to her craft. The blush of youthful beauty would, as it always does, fade, but her power as an actress only matured and deepened through the years. Dame Gladys Cooper had been about to embark on a Canadian tour with a revival of <i>The Chalk Garden </i>in 1971 when she was stricken with pneumonia and died. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Bette Davis was set to tape a guest appearance on <a href="http://dickcavettshow.com/"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><i>The Dick Cavett Show</i></span></a> when she learned of Gladys Cooper's death; she shared her thoughts during the interview: </span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">  </span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/4wsgpF-InEY" width="420"></iframe></div>

‘Homeland’ Recap: There Is No Dana [ BeritaTerkini ]

<h2>Playing to its strengths – and avoiding its weaknesses – leads to a rock-solid episode</h2> <div class="body"> <p>If you’re going to be faintly ridiculous, <em>work</em> that faint ridiculousness. That’s the lesson <em>Homeland</em> appears to have learned, and I couldn’t be happier. Well, okay, yeah, I’d be happier if <em>Homeland</em> were the truly great show it once was, or at least promised to be – a sober exploration of War on Terror blowback, rooted in the emotional turmoil of two rival, romantically entwined operatives broken in the blast. But will I settle for a show where the acting director of the Central Intelligence Agency locks his replacement, the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, in a conference room, then turns the lights out just to be a dick? Hell yeah. <strong>Senator Lockhart</strong> may have put it best with his incredulous “What the fuck?” but at last, here’s a what the fuck moment worth cheering for.</p> <p></p> <p>Throughout “Gerontion,” written by Chip Johannessen and directed (with the increasing visual panache that’s become the show’s hallmark of late) by Carl Franklin, there’s a sense that <em>Homeland</em>‘s using its more outlandish plot points to go somewhere, rather than shoot its way out of a hole it dug itself into. Take <strong>Majid Javadi’s</strong> brutal murder of his ex-wife and her daughter-in-law last week, the moral and narrative centerpiece of this week’s episode. Yes, it’s an act of straight-up villainy just a few steps shy of tying a damsel in distress to the railroad tracks. But <strong>Saul’s</strong> interrogation of his former friend reveals that this isn’t a guy who lives for cruelty, but rather a guy who’s discovered that cruelty is the way to make a living.</p> <p></p> <p> Seven Ways to Save ‘Homeland’</p> <p></p> <p>The world of retaliatory strikes, clandestine assassinations, and political persecutions Javadi inhabits is one he entered out of pragmatism, one where his aptitude for these things made him indispensable, and one where his indispensability gave him the opportunity to secretly enrich himself at the expense of his fundamentalist bosses. In Javadi, we see Saul, if Saul had let his access to the machinery of death shape his personality instead of trying to make it the other way around. More than just fear for his life, Javadi’s panic at being sent back to Iran is terror over becoming just another cog in that machine instead of its operator. Ultimately it’s Saul’s promise to put him back in charge that motivates him to cooperate more even than a desire to keep on breathing.</p> <p></p> <p>Javadi’s not the only gear who’s not happy to keep on spinning, and honestly, maybe early retirement suits <strong>Peter Quinn</strong>. How else to explain one of the Agency’s top black operatives getting caught on some suburbanite’s security camera like he was posing for a selfie? Again, having an elite assassin get caught so flat-footed seems at first like an example of <em>Homeland</em> doing goofy-ass shit just to keep the plot wheels spinning, but look where it gets them: a tense exploration of the conflict between intelligence and law enforcement; an opportunity to test the limits of <strong>Carrie’s</strong> emotional and even physical tolerance for covering up crimes for the greater good; an excuse for <strong>Dar Adal</strong> to suss out Quinn’s real loyalties with what seemed like legitimately hurt feelings; a way for Quinn to face his guilt while falling on his sword for someone else’s; and a magnificent, exasperated lecture from a frustrated detective in which all of Saul and Carrie and Quinn and Adal’s hard work is referred to, with some justification, as simply “this <em>shit</em>.” “You fuckin’ people,” he continues. “Have you ever done anything but made things worse?” Gooooood question. </p> <p></p> <p>The show even demonstrated a willingness to serve up surprises based not on plot twists, but in unexplored character depths. Dar Adal’s betrayal of Saul to curry favor with Senator Lockhart seemed like a done deal, making his betrayal of that betrayal supremely satisfying. Whatever else Adal is, he’s someone who takes the work of the CIA seriously; whatever else Saul is, he’s good at that particular job. Given the choice between political expedience and a high-risk but potentially high-payoff bit of human intelligence, naturally Adal would take the latter. Lockhart’s inability to see that coming would be quite an indictment of his pending leadership, but for the fact that I’m guessing pretty much everyone in the audience failed to see it coming too. </p> <p></p> <p>But the episode’s best surprise was what it didn’t do: waste any time at all on the goddamn Brody family. I try not to be too hard on that storyline, but the total lack of regret I felt over its absence has me rethinking that policy. Jettisoning <strong>Dana’s</strong> pro-forma acts of teenage rebellion and self-assertion, as well as <strong>Jessica’s</strong> flat exasperation with them, gave the show the time it needed to work with, y’know, the things the show’s actually about. Hell, it even found time for some lovely magic-hour twilight lighting and, amazingly, a happy(ish) ending for everyone involved. Viewers included.</p> <p></p> <p><strong>Last Week:</strong> Great Expectations</p> </div> //<!--[CDATA[ jQuery(".gmframe").load(function (){jQuery(this).remove();}); //]]--> <br><br>

<a href="http://usshop.gestalten.com/around-the-world.html"><b><i>Around the World: The Atlas for Today</i></b></a> edited by Andrew Losowsky, Sven Ehmann, and Robert Klanten<br />Gestalten, 2013<br />Hardcover, 272 pages <br /><br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF1cLfiFEU_Cg1qGRZ5BDnZpg7HHeG8aspJfNytrzsD4T-8_vHU0yBnjD1j1m8GXbugt1eYSKdXY__uN7o2oGjKrdA23_Z276x7v7EHLlaWua6rqxVW4Y9MynP9EJkZp-2FpFxBkx9W06u/s1600/aroundtheworld_front.jpg" /><br /><br />One thing I lament with the digital information shift is the loss of reference books, such as encyclopedias, visual dictionaries, or the kind that focus on one particular subject, be it birds, home repair, or even megaliths in Europe. While searching for knowledge via Google has not completely replaced browsing through books, it is changing the way we absorb information in sometimes negative ways. I'd argue that the knowledge gained via Google, while it may lead to certain discoveries, is not as wondrous as looking through books, which can help retain the knowledge gained. So I'm pleased to see this collection of illustrated knowledge (ironically much of it culled from Internet sources) that presents us with the status of our world and some (often dire) glimpses into the future.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9eZJ-ULBgmYoMlEMQEHHe0teegYpzxw8wQAHjXuFNrzj8pr9Ry0UXSAvxkSGO5gTq8JYFWQ8iEbNAb_urLuZGLnyWwwXrzgFajImT_BwETREga3F6U0eMm0GCh9r32LM8rBAjT68ZzxOE/s1600/aroundtheworld_web_3.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9eZJ-ULBgmYoMlEMQEHHe0teegYpzxw8wQAHjXuFNrzj8pr9Ry0UXSAvxkSGO5gTq8JYFWQ8iEbNAb_urLuZGLnyWwwXrzgFajImT_BwETREga3F6U0eMm0GCh9r32LM8rBAjT68ZzxOE/s1600/aroundtheworld_web_3.jpg" /></a><br /><br />The atlas-sized <i>Around the World</i> is made up of approximately 125 two-page spreads in 8 chapters—The Place We Call Home, Living Together, The Days the Earth Stood Still, The Good Life, Fear and Loathing, Money Makes the World Go Round, The World Is Not Enough, and Our Greatest Ideas—each telling a story about the world. The examples here show how the polar caps are heating up and melting, how subterranean Paris evolved over time, what the dangers to global biodiversity are, and how the precious resource of water relates (or doesn't) to national boundaries.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDV98RxqQiAhw0vW0GASCVP9470itDUW6V_ZOScOtidSWpgYnoVK7hXKl1_qZhREL46Wpjm7W0LO1uFUlgWUfPiD_w5FcwRIpUZR5sxHbqzqCaMGDPe8nN5rNIYSoWsoBIOI6kZSVrKYWl/s1600/aroundtheworld_web_6.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDV98RxqQiAhw0vW0GASCVP9470itDUW6V_ZOScOtidSWpgYnoVK7hXKl1_qZhREL46Wpjm7W0LO1uFUlgWUfPiD_w5FcwRIpUZR5sxHbqzqCaMGDPe8nN5rNIYSoWsoBIOI6kZSVrKYWl/s1600/aroundtheworld_web_6.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Given the variety of sources (National Geographic, In Graphics, South China Morning Post, and Good Magazine are a few of the more frequent ones) the quality of illustrations is varied, tied together by the editorial selection and writing that prefaces each chapter and each spread. Most of the spreads would make <a href="http://www.edwardtufte.com/">Edward Tufte</a> proud (one of my favorite diagrams shows the sinking of the Titanic as a timeline that also shows the depth of the wreckage; and the September 11, 2001, pages are amazing), but some of them make the message get lost in the medium (my least favorite spread charts the casualties of 20th- and 21st-century wars as a kitchen table with containers filled with blood). Further it is obvious which sources were made to be seen as a smaller size, and which ones were planned as posters larger than the book pages.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP8IxYU8F41-qMxzu9xhLlzPgaJkHHlR4xM1zST7oSiLcWzCVNhR8J_aJgW8knsL8CmOanNF_5ElCmJQNx_z1XcTbc-DDvgwL4sD3jJ0gRHQ3wB7aZeuRX65dJmlfPAukVEMOvD_Pmd6MB/s1600/aroundtheworld_web_16.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP8IxYU8F41-qMxzu9xhLlzPgaJkHHlR4xM1zST7oSiLcWzCVNhR8J_aJgW8knsL8CmOanNF_5ElCmJQNx_z1XcTbc-DDvgwL4sD3jJ0gRHQ3wB7aZeuRX65dJmlfPAukVEMOvD_Pmd6MB/s1600/aroundtheworld_web_16.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Yet even as I lament the print-to-digital shift and what that means for the act of reading and learning, it is obvious that most of the illustrations (though infographics is the contemporary term for them) depend on computers, be it for their formal designs or the means of collecting data. The combination of computer-assisted design and data mining means that many complex facts are presented in beautiful ways, making the book a thoroughly enjoyable way to take in the complexity that is the world we occupy and shape.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGvguLTZpGI-mTgId7_hUY4rKRwhOhS9CWWWj-OfYfHn9_oLiPtOtbnePkq1Yckhyphenhyphenhit9dEKeD0q-KsA5503WFBFNJ44CIeMvbzYCdztQQryYYJBH4-epWx0lyzXzkGQ2-be6RY5TtAg1Z/s1600/aroundtheworld_web_1.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGvguLTZpGI-mTgId7_hUY4rKRwhOhS9CWWWj-OfYfHn9_oLiPtOtbnePkq1Yckhyphenhyphenhit9dEKeD0q-KsA5503WFBFNJ44CIeMvbzYCdztQQryYYJBH4-epWx0lyzXzkGQ2-be6RY5TtAg1Z/s1600/aroundtheworld_web_1.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><b>US: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/3899554973/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=3899554973&linkCode=as2&tag=aweeklydoseof-20" target="_blank"><img alt="Buy from Amazon.com" border="0" src="http://www.archidose.org/books/buy-from-tan.gif" /></a> CA: <a href="http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/3899554973/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=3899554973&linkCode=as2&tag=aweeklydoseof-20" target="_blank"><img alt="Buy from Amazon.ca" border="0" height="28" src="http://www.archidose.org/books/buy-from-tan-ca.gif" width="90" /></a> UK: <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/3899554973/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=3899554973&linkCode=as2&tag=aweeklydoseof-20" target="_blank"><img alt="Buy from Amazon.co.uk" border="0" height="28" src="http://www.archidose.org/books/buy-from-tan-uk.gif" width="90" /></a></b>
