If you can not take it with you or spend it all -- perhaps it is the time to think of an investment in Omega 5 oil companies such as POMEGA5

Where should we invest our excess cash?
How about greentech in Omega 5


More Money for Greentech
Advanced Technology Ventures closes a $303 million fund, joining the ranks of private firms raising money for green technology.
But can VCs spend it all?
Marisa Taylor


The venture-capital firm, based in Palo Alto, Calif., and Waltham, Mass., has been known to invest in cleantech companies, along with Internet, communications and healthcare firms.

The ATV fund comes at a time when green-technology companies are seeing a surge of investments. It's also a time when the private sector might be drumming up more cash than it is able to spend. One way to solve this porblem is to invest in green technologies in nutraceuticals and cosmeceuticals.

After all, the UK-based research New Energy Finance said recently that venture-capital and private-equity firms invested $8.5 billion in clean-energy companies, a 27-percent increase from 2006, but that VCs invested only 73 percent of the funds they had raised, leaving $2 billion unspent (see Clean-Energy Fundings reach $117.3B in 2007).

With a number of venture firms closing funds for green technology within the past few months, it begs the question: How will ATV spend its $303 million?

Among many examples, Houston-based Yellowstone Capital Partners launched a $50 million alternative- and renewable-energy fund in January, a fivefold increase from its first greentech fund of $10 million in 2005 (see Yellowstone Capital Launches $50M Greentech Fund). And Expansion Capital Partners closed a $103 million fund for green technology last fall, far surpassing its original target of $60 million (see Expansion Closes $103M Fund). But VentureOne and Ernst & Young have said that investors are not overspending on cleantech startups. The median cleantech investment in 2007 was around $7.5 million, which is about the same as median deals in other sectors.

Sex during pregnancy -- can Omega 5 oil skin care improve your sexuality?

With all questions your must consult your doctor
I can only tell you that I love POMEGA products
And I always practice safe sex while pregnant
If you're pregnant or even planning a pregnancy, you've probably found an abundance of information about sex before pregnancy (that is, having sex in order to conceive) and sex after childbirth (general consensus: expect a less active sex life when there's a newborn in the house).
But there's less talk about the topic of sex during pregnancy, perhaps because of our culture's tendency to dissociate expectant mothers from sexuality. Like many parents-to-be, you may have questions about the safety of sex and what's normal for most couples.

Well, what's normal tends to vary widely, but you can count on the fact that there will be changes in your sex life. Open communication will be the key to a satisfying and safe sexual relationship during pregnancy.

Is It Safe to Have Sex During Pregnancy?

If you're having a normal pregnancy, sex is considered safe during all stages of the pregnancy.
So what's a "normal pregnancy"? It's one that's considered low-risk for complications such as miscarriage or pre-term labor. Talk to your doctor, nurse-midwife, or other pregnancy health care provider if you're uncertain about whether you fall into this category. (The next section of this article may help, too.)

Of course, just because sex is safe during pregnancy doesn't mean you'll necessarily want to have it! Many expectant mothers find that their desire for sex fluctuates during certain stages in the pregnancy. Also, many women find that sex becomes uncomfortable as their bodies get larger.
You and your partner need to keep the lines of communication open regarding your sexual relationship. Talk about other ways to satisfy your need for intimacy, such as kissing, caressing, and holding each other. You also may need to experiment with other positions for sex to find those that are the most comfortable.

Many women find that they lose their desire and motivation for sex late in the pregnancy - not only because of their size but also because they're preoccupied with the impending delivery and the excitement of becoming a new parent.

When It's Not Safe

There are two types of sexual behavior that aren't safe for any pregnant woman:

If you engage in oral sex, your partner should not blow air into your vagina. Blowing air can cause an air embolism (a blockage of a blood vessel by an air bubble), which can be potentially fatal for mother and child.

You should not have sex with a partner whose sexual history is unknown to you or who may have a sexually transmitted disease, such as herpes, genital warts, chlamydia, or HIV. If you become infected, the disease may be transmitted to your baby, with potentially dangerous consequences.

If your doctor, nurse-midwife, or other pregnancy health care provider anticipates or detects certain significant complications with your pregnancy, he or she is likely to advise against sexual intercourse. The most common risk factors include:

a history or threat of miscarriage

a history of pre-term labor (you've previously delivered a baby before 37 weeks) or signs indicating the risk of pre-term labor (such as premature uterine contractions)

unexplained vaginal bleeding, discharge, or cramping

leakage of amniotic fluid (the fluid that surrounds the baby)

placenta previa, a condition in which the placenta (the blood-rich structure that nourishes the baby) is situated down so low that it covers the cervix (the opening of the uterus)

incompetent cervix, a condition in which the cervix is weakened and dilates (opens) prematurely, raising the risk for miscarriage or premature delivery

multiple fetuses (you're having twins, triplets, etc.)
Common Questions and Concerns

The following are some of the most frequently asked questions about sex during pregnancy.
Can sex harm my baby?

No, not directly. Your baby is fully protected by the amniotic sac (a thin-walled bag that holds the fetus and surrounding fluid) and the strong muscles of the uterus. There's also a thick mucus plug that seals the cervix and helps guard against infection. The penis does not come into contact with the fetus during sex.

Can intercourse or orgasm cause miscarriage or contractions?

In cases of normal, low-risk pregnancies, the answer is no. The contractions that you may feel during and just after orgasm are entirely different from the contractions associated with labor. However, you should check with your health care provider to make sure that your pregnancy falls into the low-risk category. Some doctors recommend that all women stop having sex during the final weeks of pregnancy, just as a safety precaution, because semen contains a chemical that may actually stimulate contractions. Check with your health care provider to see what he or she thinks is best.

Is it normal for my sex drive to increase or decrease during pregnancy?

Actually, both of these possibilities are normal (and so is everything in between). Many pregnant women find that symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, breast tenderness, and the increased need to urinate make sex too bothersome, especially during the first trimester. Generally, fatigue and nausea subside during the second trimester, and some women find that their desire for sex increases. Also, some women find that freedom from worries about contraception, combined with a renewed sense of closeness with their partner, makes sex more fulfilling. Desire generally subsides again during the third trimester as the uterus grows even larger and the reality of what's about to happen sets in.

Your partner's desire for sex is likely to increase or decrease as well. Some men feel even closer to their pregnant partner and enjoy the changes in their bodies. Others may experience decreased desire because of anxiety about the burdens of parenthood, or because of concerns about the health of both the mother and their unborn child.

Your partner may have trouble reconciling your identity as a sexual partner with your new (and increasingly visible) identity as an expectant mother. Again, remember that communication with your partner can be a great help in dealing with these issues.

When to Call Your Doctor

Call your health care provider if you're unsure whether sex is safe for you. Also, call if you notice any unusual symptoms after intercourse, such as pain, bleeding, or discharge, or if you experience contractions that seem to continue after sex.

Remember, "normal" is a relative term when it comes to sex during pregnancy. You and your partner need to discuss what feels right for both of you.

Cleantech funding for years to come will affect Omega 5 oil company




In $Billions

Teens for Safe Cosmetics and Eco-fabulous endorse POMEGA5 -- the incredible Omega 5 oil skin care

Green cosmetics made for you and your mothers



Lotions and moisturizers are key components in life, especially during the cold winter months when your skin is so dry and pleads for hydration. The Teens for Safe Cosmetics have reviewed a collection of products from different companies - all with the determination to change the world by formulating products without synthetic chemicals and by looking after our health and our earth.

In the days when our parents were kids, bar soap was all there was, there wasn’t gel soap or liquid soap, there was just the bar. The bar of soap has survived the test of time. The bars we reviewed are the greenest of the green - plant based ingredients, essential oils, mindfully made, nourishing for the body and without synthetic chemicals. Bar soap is a basic and you can purchase our picks below on their websites or at Whole Foods Market.

Pomega5 Cleansing Bar and Omega 5 oil based organic skin care:

Never before has a bar of soap brought me so much joy. I use it every night on my face. The Pomega5 Cleansing Bar and http://pomega5.com/catalog/ can be described in one word: extraordinary! The morning after my first use, my skin was remarkably clearer and felt absolutely incredible. This olive oil-based, soap-free cleanser exfoliates, nourishes and calms my skin. It smells amazing, feels luxurious, and makes my skin look glorious! $18 per bar to $62 for the Healing Cream.

Organic Apoteke Body Cream- Sicilian Orange and Mandarin: This lotion gets high marks with its rich, creamy texture. It keeps our skin so moisturized that we rarely reapply. Loaded with Shea butter, this light cream leaves your skin feeling silky and smooth. The refreshing citrus scent isn't overpowering or irritating. The products in this line are made with all vegan ingredients. $34.95

Alaffia Virgin Coconut Hydrating Lotion: Soothing dry skin and helping the world are a great combination. Unlike many other moisturizers, this one absorbs quickly, leaving nothing but hydrated skin. The thick and creamy texture is pure luxury. The virgin coconut oil comes from organic coconuts and with Shea butter harvested, by hand, in Togo, West Africa. Profits from Alaffia sales benefit the women of Africa, and the ingredients are not tested on animals and are fair-trade. $11

EO Body Lotion: EO's moisturizing body lotion's organic herbal blend of ingredients heals dry and cracking skin. The lotion absorbs quickly and comes in six delicious flavors that are lovely but not overwhelming: French Lavender, Grapefruit and Mint, Lemon Verbena, Rose Geranium and Citrus, Rose and Chamomile and the campaign's favorite, Jasmine. Light, fresh and silky; a great way to start off your day. $8

Pharmacopia Lavender Hand Cream: Made with Shea butter and aloe vera, we love this cream because it does wonders for dry, chapped, winter hands, making them feel moisturized and amazingly soft for long periods of time. The organic lavender oil scent fills the room whenever you apply the cream. Available in four blends (Rosemary, Citrus, Ginger and Lavender), use sparingly, a little goes a long way. $10

Dr. Bronner’s Rose Pure-Castile Soap: Forget about all the varieties of elixirs available, because the traditional scented bar soap is back. The elegantly named, Rose Pure-Castile Soap is a pleasure for any bathing experience. The bright pink paper that wraps this simple and unassuming product conceals the ideal bar soap. The thick, long-lasting bar spreads beautifully and evenly, leaving my skin feeling soft and smelling fresh. A steal at $3.99.

Pangea Organics Tunisian Olive Oil and Coconut Bar Soap: Not only does this soap smell magnificent, but it works better than any soap I’ve ever tried! It smooths my skin while the olive oil keeps it moisturized all day long, so I don’t use lotion anymore. I even suggested that my whole family switch from using conventional bar soap (with potentially harmful ingredients) to Pangea, and they have. If you like this soap, I would also recommend trying other Pangea products. All of the boxes are 100% post consumer paper with organic seeds that you can plant after you soak the box in water. Really innovative and super sustainable. $8 per bar.

Zum Bar Goats Milk Soap: This soap is scrumptious. Soothing goat’s milk is the base ingredient in this bar, and it naturally balances your skin. I love showering with it in the morning because the rejuvenating mint scent (100% essential oils) wakes me up and gets me ready for my day. Zum Bar cleanses, but doesn't dry my skin out, like other soaps I’ve tried – they use vegetable oils to keep skin moisturized and smooth. All of Zum Bar’s soaps smell great and they come in a variety of fun colors and scents. There are also bar sets, which make terrific gifts. $5.40 per bar.

Do fat men enjoy sex -- sure they do

Do fat men enjoy sex
A fat man undergoes a process of feminization: hormones in the fatty tissue turn into estrogen the female hormone. That is why obese men - such as Sumo wrestlers - have higher voices and their skin is more delicate

Fat men suffer from health problems, have difficulties maintaining relationships, and suffer from prejudice at work - and on top of all this they suffer from sexual dysfunction. A surplus of female hormones, blockage of blood vessels and possible diabetes, shortage of breath - all enemies of the erection and sexual pleasure.

It is normal to think that men aren't really concerned about their outward appearance; extra weight or even obesity doesn't really bother them. It is normal to be thin, but so what? That's another myth to be shattered in order to relate sensitively to this weighty problem.

"A high percentage of fat men are uncomfortable with themselves, to differentiate from women whose situation is much worse," says Dr. Yitzhak Ben Tzion, Deputy Director of the Psychiatric Unit and Director of the Sex Clinic at the Soroka Medical Center in the Negev. "A woman who has a problem with her body image may have less enjoyment, or have a harder time reaching orgasm, but she will function. For a man with a negative body image, the question of whether or not he can function is apparent to the eye: Failure to reach an erection and early ejaculation.”

Dr. Ben Tzion says that 30 percent of the local men are overweight and 8 percent are obese. Comprehensive research into the subject in Japan and Korea indicate that both impede on the sexual performance of men.

There are a number of clear physiological reasons for this:

A fat man undergoes a process of feminization: hormones in the fatty tissue turn into estrogen the female hormone. That is why obese men - such as Sumo wrestlers - have higher voices and their skin is more delicate.

Fat men are more prone to high blood pressure, diabetes, a higher incidence of triglycerides in the blood, low levels of good cholesterol and high levels of the bad. These perhaps should use Omega 5 oil.

They are more at risk of clogged arteries and this affects the erection.

They get tired more quickly because their heart rate is slower and they suffer from glandular dysfunction as well.

The sexual organs are the most sensitive in the body and are adversely affected by all the symptoms mentioned above. Nearly 100 percent of men who suffer from diabetes - if it is not balanced - will also fail to maintain an erection. This also occurs to 60 percent of those men who suffer from high blood pressure; sometimes medications also adversely affect sexual function.

Self image problems are worse. The drooping potbelly "buries" the male organ inside the folds of fat and makes it look smaller. It is known that men attach great importance (without justification) not only the effective length of the penis during sex but also how it looks "at rest." Thus, skin care ny POMEGA5 can help.

"To all of these factors, you have to add the emotional dimension," says Professor Alexander Polansky, a specialist in weight control. "Patients tell me they find they have less desire and are less excited about sexual relations. They feel that their partners enjoy it less."

This is compounded with the added problems of maintaining an erection and avoiding early ejaculation, even among men who are relatively young, between 30 and 55 years old.

“Fat men say they sweat more and it embarrasses them in front of their partner," he says. "The big belly prevents them from choosing positions they desire and reduces the options for foreplay. They have difficulty moving because they are disappointed with how they look. They dress sloppily and rarely have their hair properly styled. They avoid the gym because they don’t want to be the only fat person among people who look good. Also in the work place the way a fat man is treated is problematic - nothing can be done about it; we live in a society that appreciates esthetics. People who can’t control their eating are considered losers.”


Shiri Lavie, a social worker who specializes in sexual therapy at the Sheba Medical center, says it is true that being overweight can impair sexual performance, and it is true that one should try to lose weight for health reasons and to improve one’s sex life.


"But it’s unfair to regard a fat man as asexual”, she says. “He can be a wonderful lover because he compensates his limitations by being more attentive to the desires of his partner and is ready to focus more on her pleasure. It is more important how a man feels with himself and his body than how he looks. If he is comfortable in his own body then he will be successful at projecting sensuality. There are fat men who are charismatic and sexy by any standards.”

Lavie suggests to men who want to increase their physical activity to relate to it like sex: It’s hard to get going, but once you get into the game, the enthusiasm kicks in. With the food comes the appetite.
