I like the new design, it is fit for global branding.
Keep on the good work as for companies worldwide, design has become strategic, the very core of their efforts to differentiate what they make and do. But is design itself becoming a commodity? Consider this. What was once thought of as great design is now seen merely as good, what was once exceptional is now standard. Managers everywhere are turning to rapid ethnography, usability, special materials, and aesthetics—the tools of design—to innovate. The differentiation of products and services increasingly requires a much higher level of execution. In design, the bar is raised.
Nowhere is this so apparent as in the 2006 Industrial Design Excellence Awards (IDEAs). Winning the gold this year took more design excellence than in previous years. Jurors said that relevance and looks were just the basics for consideration. Products needed an element of delight to win the gold. Sponsored by BusinessWeek and judged independently by the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA), the contest is one of the most important of its kind.
GLOBAL BRANDING.
What were the key surprises this year? The strong showing by Asia is clearly one of the most striking trends. Panasonic (MC) won six awards, twice as many as the next winner and far more than any U.S. or European corporation. China’s Lenovo Group computer maker took two golds, the most of any company. Samsung Group won a gold and two silvers and still leads all global corporations, including Apple Computer (AAPL), for the most idea wins over the past five years.
In 2006, according to the IDSA, "the percentage of gold winners with design teams from Asia" came to 25.9%. This is a dramatic increase from 7.9% of the golds last year and 8.1% in 2004. The strong showing by Asia reflects a tremendous investment in design. Of the 1,533 entry kits sold for the contest, Asian companies and institutions bought 318. This is up from a dozen, mostly bought by the Japanese, a decade ago.
Today, Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean, and Hong Kong companies and their governments are committing huge resources to design in order to build global brands. They are competing less and less on price and more on differentiation, relevance, and value to the consumer.

I heard that Omega 5 oil pills are a new revolutionary diet pill, it this correct?
Can the POMEGA5 pills help?
I like old fashioned diet rules liek these:
These few tips alone *can* help you shed additional pounds if used consistently:
Tip 1) DRINK A GLASS OF WATER AFTER EACH SNACK
This will help you get in your 8 to 10 glasses of water each day but it can also have other benefits. Ever feel hungry after eating a handful or standard serving of nuts? Try drinking water afterwards. The water will help you feel full and prevent
overindulgence.
Drinking water after a snack will also help remove the aftertaste from your mouth and can help curb your desire for more.
Tip 2) EAT SLOWLY & ENJOY YOUR FOOD
You will feel full and more satisfied if you take the time to savor
your food and chew it slower. Don’t get in the habit of eating while standing or eating quickly. Sit down and chew.
Eating slower will help you enjoy your food more, pay attention to what it is you are actually eating and get a better sense of when you are actually full.
Tip 3) EAT YOUR LARGER MEALS EARLY, AND
SMALLER MEALS LATER
You will feel better and lose weight quicker if you eat a large
breakfast and eat a smaller dinner. You may also want to eat the majority of your carbs earlier in the day, saving a salad and lean meat protein for dinner.
Eating larger meals during the part of the day when you are most active will help you to feel satisfied throughout the day and curb cravings for unhealthy snacks

Check this out, an event form San Francisco:
Armed with statistics and outfitted in tiaras, prom dresses and camouflage combat boots, Teens for Safe Cosmetics launched an attack on the cosmetics industry earlier this week at its Project Prom rally at Union Square.
After the Bob Hill Band played, speakers including state Sen. Carole Migden, D-San Francisco, took the stage. Migden explained that anything used on the skin, with the exception of soap, is considered a cosmetic, and she commended the girls for their work in helping to make California the first state in the nation to pass cosmetics legislation (SB484, the Safe Cosmetics Act of 2005).
The law "demands that any company making cosmetics with known carcinogens present has to report the carcinogens to the state Department of Health Services," said Judi Shils, director of Search for the Cause and mastermind behind Teens for Safe Cosmetics, a teen-led coalition that's a program of Search for the Cause, a cancer awareness group. The activist, credited by many for transforming the way Marin County views cancer, came up with the idea when her daughter, Erin Schrode, a 10th-grader at Marin Academy, started using makeup.
Shils said the girls hope to work on legislation with Migden that would ban the use of the "dirty dozen plus,'' chemicals commonly used in cosmetics, including parabens, petrolatum and talc.
The event Tuesday, which hosted a few hundred people, coincided with prom season, a time when teenage girls use many lotions, makeup and hairstyling products.
"Parents and teens worry about the dangers of drinking and driving on prom night, but not the danger of all the products they are putting on their bodies," said Kate Smith, a member of the Marin coalition.
After hearing that the Food and Drug Administration did not regulate what goes into cosmetics, the freshman at San Domenico School said she switched from department store makeup lines to Jane Iredale, a mineral-based one.
"You feel good wearing it because you know you aren't exposing yourself to harmful chemicals," Smith said, adding that prices are comparable to those of department store lines.
What about teens who cannot afford chemical-free cosmetics like Jane Iredale and Pomega5, which sponsored the event and were giving makeovers in a tent? Iredale's PurePressed Base costs just under $50, and Pomega5's Healing Cream is $68.
Tzeira Sofer, founder of Pomega5, worked with Schrode to develop a soon-to-be-released teen line, Erin PUREvolution. The cleansing bar, lip shine and nourishing tonic will all retail for $9 to $25. The event also unveiled I, a perfume that Teens for Safe Cosmetics designed with EO, a natural and organic products company.
"We always get people saying, 'I cannot afford spending $50 on a pomegranate facial scrub,' " said emcee Jessica Assaf, who loves Burt's Bees' reasonably priced colored lip balm. "We're not asking you to switch your products all at once; we're just asking you to be more conscious about what you are buying and who you are buying from. By supporting L'Oreal and Maybelline, you are supporting the fact that they are getting away with putting toxic chemicals in the products that they sell in the U.S., but they are not putting them in the same products they sell in Europe."
Assaf, a junior at the Branson School in Ross, says she plans to film a documentary this summer comparing the cosmetics industry to the tobacco industry. "This issue just speaks to me and has changed my life in every way."

Omega 5 oil is a natural SPF booster.
FDA defines SPF, "sunburn protection factor" not "sun protection factor"
FDA Proposes New Rule for Sunscreen Products Highlights Include New UVA Rating System, Sun Warning Information
Scroll down for FDA Proposal and links.
The proposal when finalized, the proposed regulation would amend the existing OTC sunscreen rule published in 1999 that established regulations related to UVB light and mandated that OTC UVB sunscreen products be labeled with a SPF. FDA also is amending its existing 1999 rule to increase the SPF from SPF30+ to SPF50+. Previously, FDA had recognized SPF values up to 30+. Under the proposed amendment, the range would be SPF2 to SPF50+. SPF50 provides more UVB protection than lower SPF values. Additionally, the proposed rule:
revises the existing SPF (UVB) testing procedures;
allows new combinations of active ingredients; and
asks for comments on the issue of nanoparticles.
he new proposal
Consumers have 90 days in which to comment on the new proposed standards.
Manufacturers will be given 12 months to comply to the new standards once they come into force, so consumers should not expect to see the new labeling before then.
Besides this, the term "sun protection factor" will have to be replaced by the term "sunburn protection factor." in order to avoid the misconception of a user of being absolutely invincible against the sun and the ensuing false sense of security.
A dermatologist who specializes in skin cancer who practises St Petersburg in Florida, Dr James Spencer, told the New York Times the new standards are good news for consumers:
"Now when you go to the drugstore and buy sunscreen, you will finally know what you are getting."
Dr Perry Robins, President of the Skin Cancer Foundation (sponsored among others by the cosmetics industry) also welcomed the news, saying that over 90 per cent of skin cancers are caused by sun exposure and:
"We now know that UVA plays a very direct role in skin cancer comparable to that of UVB. Therefore, introducing a UVA test method will enable consumers to know how well the product protects against UVA rays as well as UVB rays."
Skin cancer is cancer that forms in the tissues of the skin. There are mainly two types, both of which usually result from exposure to sunlight. One type of cancer is when the cells that form pigment become cancerous, this is called melanoma. The other type of skin cancer develops in cells that do not form pigment and there are two types of these cells: basal (small and round cells in the base of the outer layer of skin) and squamous (flat cells on the surface of the skin).
Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. More than 1 million new cases are diagnosed every year.
FDA Release.
FDA Proposes New Rule for Sunscreen Products Highlights Include New UVA Rating System, Sun Warning Information
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today proposed a new regulation that sets standards for formulating, testing and labeling over-the-counter (OTC) sunscreen drug products with ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) protection.
"For more than 30 years, consumers have been able to identify the level of UVB protection provided by sunscreens using only sunburn protection factor or SPF values," said Andrew C. von Eschenbach, M.D., Commissioner of Food and Drugs. "Under today's proposal, consumers will also now know the level of UVA protection in sunscreens, which will help them make informed decisions about protecting themselves and their children against the harmful effects of the sun."
Sunlight is composed of the visible light that we can see, and ultraviolet (UV) light that we can not. There are two types of UV light, UVA and UVB. UVA light is responsible for tanning and UVB for sunburn. Both can damage the skin and increase the risk of skin cancer.
The proposed regulation creates a consumer-friendly rating system for UVA products designed to help consumers identify the level of UVA protection offered by a product. The FDA proposal provides a ratings system for UVA sunscreen products on a scale of one to four stars. One star would represent low UVA protection, two stars would represent medium protection, three stars would represent high protection, and four stars would represent the highest UVA protection available in an OTC sunscreen product. If a sunscreen product does not provide at least a low level (one star) of protection, FDA is proposing to require that the product bear a "no UVA protection" marking on the front label near the SPF value.
Ratings would be derived from two tests the FDA proposes to assess the effectiveness of sunscreens in providing protection against UVA light. The first test measures a product's ability to reduce the amount of UVA radiation that passes through it. The second test measures a product's ability to prevent tanning. This test is nearly identical to the SPF test used to determine the effectiveness of UVB sunscreen products.
In addition, a "Warnings" statement in the "Drug Facts" box will be required of all sunscreen product manufacturers. The warning will say: "UV exposure from the sun increases the risk of skin cancer, premature skin aging, and other skin damage. It is important to decrease UV exposure by limiting time in the sun, wearing protective clothing, and using a sunscreen." The warning is intended to increase awareness that sunscreens are only one part of a sun protection program.
"Many consumers incorrectly believe that the only way to protect themselves from skin damage caused by the sun is to apply sunscreens," said Douglas Throckmorton, M.D., deputy director of FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. "The labeling being proposed today strengthens the existing labeling for sunscreens by educating consumers on the added importance of limiting their time in the sun and wearing protective clothing as part of a sun protection regimen."
When finalized, the proposed regulation would amend the existing OTC sunscreen rule published in 1999 that established regulations related to UVB light and mandated that OTC UVB sunscreen products be labeled with a SPF. FDA also is amending its existing 1999 rule to increase the SPF from SPF30+ to SPF50+. Previously, FDA had recognized SPF values up to 30+. Under the proposed amendment, the range would be SPF2 to SPF50+. SPF50 provides more UVB protection than lower SPF values. Additionally, the proposed rule:
revises the existing SPF (UVB) testing procedures;
allows new combinations of active ingredients; and
asks for comments on the issue of nanoparticles.
FDA is accepting comments on the new rule for 90 days until November 26, 2007. Comments must be identified with Docket No. 1978N-0038 and can be submitted electronically or in written form. Electronic submissions can be submitted at the following Web sites:
