PERRY’S PARABLESHello SCC members
The biggest event in the Midwest SCC is upon us...Teamworks! This show has been in the works for nearly two years and it's going to be our most
different and educational show yet.
Now, normally we rent out space at a big convention hall, our supplier community sets up display booths and formulators from around the country converge to learn about the latest in cosmetic industry technology. We have educational and inspirational presentations, a social night, and over 150 booths from the best suppliers in the industry. We do this once every other year and each time it gets bigger and better.
Unfortunately, this year the Covid-19 pandemic has thrown a monkey wrench in all of our plans and we've had to change things up.
That's why we're going with a virtual Teamworks. It will be different but in some ways, it will be better than the show we originally planned. (Don't worry, as soon as we're able to have shows again we will get the in-person version of Teamworks back up and running again.)
Here is what we have planned.
We will be hosting an all-day, Raw Material Summit. This educational event will take you on a tour of a wide range of cosmetic raw material topics and do a deep dive on each one. Topics include
• Cosmetic Cleansers• Home care Disinfectants• Colorants• Polymers• Thickeners• Hair care ingredients• Emulsifiers• Fragrances• Preservatives• Active Ingredients
Plus, we've got a great keynote speaker scheduled, Catherine Johns, who will help you learn how to be more influential in your science and your career.
During the day-long event, each hour we'll have an introductory talk focused on the science of the ingredient and how they are used. Then we'll have supplier presentations looking at some of the newest technologies for each area. And if there is time, we will have a Q&A session with the subject experts.
This is going to be a fully packed day and you'll be able to learn a lot. I know I'm looking forward to increasing my knowledge in a variety of areas.
Now, you might be thinking sitting in front of your computer all day may be a little less than ideal. Well don't worry, we've set this up so you can tune in whenever you like. If there is a subject you are really interested in, just tune at that time. If you can't make a specific session, we'll be recording everything so you can tune in later.
If you want to register for this free event, you can sign up here (https://event.webinarjam.com/channel/teamworks).
In addition, to the educational events we will also be hosting a “virtual” cocktail party in which you'll be able to interact directly with other attendees in a live 5-minute one-on-one video conversation. We did this for our September meeting and we got some great feedback!
Thank you so much to the whole Teamworks team including Cinda, Crystal, Lisa, Frank, and Marcie, for helping to get this virtual event organized.
It's going to be an educational day full of fun! I hope you can join us.
(Parables continued from page 2)
On a different subject, we're conducting an election this month for next year's officers. Be sure to check your email so you can vote for the incoming Chair-elect and Secretary.
Looking ahead, we'll be hosting our November emeritus meeting which will feature some 5-minute talks, officer installations, plus interviews with emeritus members. Stay tuned for more information about this meeting in our next newsletter.
Thanks again for your support and I look forward to the next time we'll be able to have an in-person event. In the meantime, I hope you are able to participate in all of our virtual events.
Perry, 44
September 15th Virtual Meeting: “From Arghh to Ahh” The virtual meeting
on September 15th discussed different ways to use science to take control of stress. Here is a follow up note from the presentor, Debbie Vyskocil, from Optimal Edge Performance.
This is a reminder to use the tools we experienced and talked about. It is so easy for a handout to wind up in a pile and the information lost, especially if stressed.
Here are more ideas to help squash your stress quickly and make your fall season much more enjoyable.
Identify a tool that will keep your brain engaged while your body settles down and the racing thoughts quiet. - List prime numbers, go as high as possible. I did this earlier today.
Create a periodic table tool. Pick a number - 30, Zinc then list up or down the table from there. If that is too easy and doesn't keep your attention list up in incre-ments of 2 or 3.
Take advantage of my complimentary Brain Pause™ Moments. They pop up once each day and have been proven to inspire a pause for a busy brain.
To see them twice a week connect to me on LinkedIN(https://www.linkedin.com/in/debbievyskocil/ mention SCC
Or every day follow me on Instagram @debbievysko-cil or follow Optimal Edge Performance on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/OptimalEdgePerfor-mance).
Contact me regarding Brain Pause™ Sessions for your team. 20 minutes each day, 2 times each week. https://optimal-ep.com/brainpause/
If there are any other questions I can answer, please reach out. This is a complicated time, we all need to sharpen our tools to deal with not just today, but what tomorrow holds.
If you would like information on individual coaching to build customized tools utilizing data from your brain and body using biofeedback and neurofeedback email me. The office is open.
Here is to trading in stress for happiness and calm.
Kind regards, Debbie

With many of us still in lock down, or partial lock down it might be time for a lighter topic. Patents, although
sometimes annoying, are an essential and ever more important part of business. The over ten million patents issued by the United States patent office since its beginning have changed the world in many different ways. Some patents hold great historical significance, some effected the world socially, and some can be seen as obscure or even comical.
The patent system in the United States has its roots in the Constitution. The basic concept is that technology as a whole advances if individual inventors disclose their new technology in return for exclusive use for a specific period of time. Consequently, the patent office has not only made protecting people’s ideas possible, it also provides a means to spread the very ideas it protects all over the United States and throughout the world. The patent has revolutionized the way businesses are run around the world and has made a man’s mind and ideas a very valuable corporate asset.
Some of the concepts protected by patents, all now expired, have truly changed the way that the world functions. Inventions like:
Dynamite - U.S. Patent 78,317 – Alfred Nobel – May 26, 1868. Barbed Wire – U.S. Patent 157,124 – Joseph Glidden – November 24, 1874.
Aspirin - U.S. Patent 644,077 – Felix Hoffman – February 27, 1900. Penicillin – U.S. Patent 2,442,141 – Andrew Moyer – May 25, 1948.
Air Bags – U.S. Patent 5,071,161 – Geoffrey Mahon – December 10, 1991.Seat Belt – U.S. Patent 312,85 – Edward Claghorn – February 10,1885.
Smoke Detector – U.S. Patent 3,460,124 – Randolph Smith - August 5, 1969. Light Bulb - U.S. Patent 223,898 –Thomas Edison – January 27, 1880.
Flush Toilet - U.S. Patent 1,107,515 Phillip Haas August 18, 1914. LSD - U.S. Patent 2,090,430 to Stroll Arthur et al, August 17, 1937.
Other patents cover technology that represents true technological breakthrough, changing the way we live. Inventions like:
Air Conditioning – U.S. Patent 808,897 – Willis Carrier – January 2, 1906, Airplane – U.S. Patent 821,393 – Orville and Wilbur Wright – May 22, 1906,
Transistor – U.S. Patent 2,502,488 – William Shockley – April 4, 1950, Artificial Heart – U.S. Patent 3,641,591 – Willem Kolff – February 15, 1972,
DNA Fingerprint – U.S. Patent 5,175,082 – Alec Jeffreys – December 29, 1992
Another group of patents represent “Americana Patents”, something we all know and have grown up with. (have not really changed our world but have provided maybe just a little fun to it.) Inventions like the:
Ouija Board - U.S. Patent 446,054 – Elijah Bond- November 10, 1891, Slinky- U.S. Patent 2,415,012 Richard James January 28, 1949,
IPez Dispenser – U.S. Patent 2,620,061 Oskar Uxa December 2, 1949, Etch A Sketch - U.S. Patent 3,055,113 Arthur Grandjean July 23, 1959,
Lava Lamp - U.S. Patent 3,570,156 Edward Walker – March 16, 1971, Chia Pet – U.S. Patent 5,549,500 Ron Manoah – February 24, 1994
With the wide range of patents that exist, it is not surprising to find some patents that are more amusing than others. Some require a description, and others even after a description remain obscure.
One such invention is the Chicken Goggles – U.S. Patent 730,918 - Andrew Jackson, Jr. June 16, 1903. This amusing patent is for chicken goggles. The purpose is to protect chickens from each other and also from themselves. Chickens, believe it or not, are very blood thirsty animals. When a chicken receives an injury that involves bleeding the worst thing it can do is hang around the other chickens, because the other chickens will go into a frenzy pecking at the wound many times killing or maiming the hurt chicken. The goggles were given rose tinted lenses to camouflage the sight of blood from the chicken so they don’t attack other chickens that are bleeding. Not only do the lenses help prevent these frenzies they also protect the chickens eyes from injury.
Another obscure invention is the Escapable Coffin – 81,437 - Franz Vester August 25, 1868. This patent addresses one that by today’s standards is very unusual. In the 1860’s doctors could incorrectly declare a person dead. The patients would be buried alive and might eventually wake up inside their coffin alive and buried. This was understandably a mistake that needed to be rectified. Seeing this problem Franz Vester of Newark New Jersey came up with a solution to this fatal problem. The idea was the escapable coffin.
Some patents do not cover tangible things for instance the System for measuring metabolic gas emissions from animals United States Patent 5,265,618 issued November 30, 1993. This patent discloses a system is disclosed which measures the flux of metabolic gas emissions from cattle or other animals. The system does not require that the animals be confined to a chamber or stall.
Another unexpected patent covers a Collar apparatus enabling secure handling of a snake by tether United States Patent 6,490,999 issued December 10, 2002. This patent discloses a collar for a snake which
when wrapped around the body portion of the snake would allow one to control the snake’s motion.
Bet you did not know that using a laser to exercise a cat is also covered by patent, a method of exercising a cat is described in United States Patent 5,443,036 August 22, 1995. This patent discloses a method for inducing cats to exercise consists of directing a beam of laser light produced by a hand-held laser apparatus onto the floor or wall or other opaque surface in the vicinity of the cat, then moving the laser so as to cause the bright pattern of light to move in an irregular way fascinating to cats, and to any other animal with a chase instinct.
Another example of the patent office’s open-mindedness is the Toilet tank aquarium United States Patent 5,983,411 November 16, 1999. This patent discloses a new toilet tank assembly aquarium for housing aquatic creatures. The assembly includes a toilet bowl assembly with a toilet tank assembly coupled to the toilet bowl assembly.
One of the best, and most weird, patent that is on file today is the Flatulence deodorizer United States Patent 6,313,371 issued November 6, 2001. This patent discloses a pad to be worn by a user for absorbing gas due to flatulence thereby avoiding social embarrassment in public.
Never underestimate the ingenuity of the inventor, or what the patent office will allow to be patented. What unusual patents lie in the future – no one knows.
If you wish to see any of these patents for further review or if you want to see new patents issued each Tuesday these be viewed without charge on www.uspto.gov. Hopefully, we appreciate that in addition to the very serious patents that effect our lives, there are a number of important, interesting and somewhat sublime patents that are not obstacles for the development of cosmetic products and can in fact make us smile.

Taking a look aT indoor air QualiTy while sTuck inside
Nicholas Georges, VP, Scientific & International
Affairs, HCPA **Reprinted by permission from Spray
Technology & Marketing Magazine**
In 1989, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) submitted a report to Congress on indoor air
quality, which found that people spend approximately
93% of their time indoors, 2% outdoors and 5%
in transit (e.g., car, train, bus).1 After spending a
significant part of this year under quarantine due
to the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s likely that many of
us have spent even more time than that indoors.
Between 1992–1994, the EPA sponsored a National
Human Activity Pattern Survey (NHAPS)2 to obtain
improved estimates of the time spent in various
environments, including homes, restaurants, bars,
automobiles and outdoors for the EPA to use as
data inputs in human exposure models. The results
from the NHAPS showed that humans spend
approximately 87% of their time indoors, between
5–6% of their time in a vehicle and the remaining
7–8% of their time outdoors, but that is highly
dependent on age and type of activity. The EPA uses
this information as a basis for the Exposure Factors
Handbook, which combines information on various
physiological and behavioral factors commonly used
in assessing exposure to environmental chemicals. 3
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the stay-
at-home orders that were implemented in the
U.S. to help flatten the curve, it’s likely that we’re
spending more time indoors than what these two
sources would suggest. In light of this, it seems
reasonable that we would know more about how
our everyday activities impact our indoor air quality.
However, there’s much we don’t yet fully understand.
In the February 2020 edition of SPRAY,4 I wrote an
article about The Home Observations of Microbial
& Environmental Chemistry (HOMEChem) project.
The HOMEChem project aimed to measure and
record how everyday activities—such as cooking,
cleaning, and personal hygiene—influence emissions,
chemical reactions and removal of trace gases
and particles in indoor air. Scientists equipped a
home with sensors to collect and record the indoor
air quality as a result of these everyday activities.
There have been several new publications that have
reported on the results of the HOMEChem project
since our last column on this subject. The first looked
at indoor air during and after cleaning with bleach,5
measuring several chlorinated and nitrogenated
compounds as a result of the activity. Solutions
of bleach, which were prepared according to the
directions on the label, were used to mop the floors
of the research home. The measurements found that
several reactions occur after the bleach solution is
applied, and the authors speculated that the amount
of some of the substances that were generated (in the
parts per billion) could be a health concern, especially
with prolonged exposure. However, the research notes
that proper ventilation helps avoid concentrations
of these substances that may cause concern and,
as such, exposure can be avoided. Beyond good
ventilation, it’s critical that consumers follow label
directions to properly and safely use a product.
The second publication explored several gaseous
substances that occur from cooking, cleaning,
and personal hygiene cleanliness and how
they interact with the various surfaces found in
homes, such as walls, flooring and furniture.6
While ventilation controls the removal process for
substances in indoor air, there are gaseous molecules
that can interact with materials at faster rates than the
air exchange. According to the data, substances that
are fully volatile under typical outdoor conditions may
show less volatility indoors and, as a result, deposit
on the available surface area. This experiment needs
to be explored further to better understand how
different substances interact with various surfaces.
The third publication7 analyzed the behavior of semi-
volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) in the research
home. SVOCs are organic substances that can
have meaningful abundances in both the gas and
condensed phases.8 The transition between the gas
phase and when SVOCs are deposited on surfaces
is dependent on a number of factors, including
volatility, surface temperatures and airborne particle
concentrations. While the data suggests that the
behavior of a specific SVOC can be predicted if the
volatility of the substance is known, more research
is needed to determine if the volatility can be
predicted across multiple types of SVOC substances.
The most recent publication investigated particulate
matter (PM) within the home.9 The data showed
that cooking is the largest source of indoor PM.
Other activities, such as cleaning, do produce PMs
of a larger size, which could be attributed to certain
human movements (such as dust resuspension,
shedding skin cells or emission of clothing fibers),
rather than the cleaning substances themselves.
There are many studies of indoor air quality
that have either already been conducted or are
ongoing. These studies routinely show that there
are a number of factors that can impact indoor
air quality, including the intended use of the
room, the actions that occur within the room, the
inhabitants’ lifestyle and social status, the presence
of equipment and store items and the intensity of
the air exchange rate. All of these factors need to
be considered when examining indoor air quality.10
As we spend more time indoors, it becomes even more
important to understand the quality of our indoor air.
If you’re interested in learning more, I encourage you
to get involved with HCPA’s Scientific Affairs Council.
