FOR BEST DEALS AND INFORMATION SEE PAGE 32

TOKYO, JAPAN - Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) has revealed the exteriordesign of its hydrogen fuel cell sedan, first unveiled as a concept at the TokyoMotor Show last year. The car will launch in Japan before April 2015, andpreparations are underway for launches in other markets in the summer of2015. In Japan, the fuel cell sedan will go on sale at Toyota and Toyopetdealerships, priced at approximately 7 million yen (MSRP; excludes con-sumption tax). Initially, sales will be limited to regions1 where hydrogenrefueling infrastructure is being developed. U.S. and Europe prices have notyet been decided. Likewise, more detailed information, such as specifica-tions, exact prices and sales targets, will be announced later.Toyota's commitment to environmentally friendly vehicles is based on threebasic principles: embracing diverse energy sources; developing efficient,low-emission vehicles; and driving real and positive environmental changeby popularizing these vehicles. Hydrogen is a particularly promising alter-native fuel since it can be produced using a wide variety of primary energysources, including solar and wind power. When compressed, it has a higherenergy density than batteries and is easier to store and transport. In additionto its potential as a fuel for home and automotive use, hydrogen could beused in a wide range of applications, including large-scale power genera-tion. Toyota has been developing fuel cell vehicles in-house for more than 20years. Toyota's fuel cell system includes a proprietary FC Stack, whichgenerates electricity from the chemical reaction between hydrogen andoxygen, and high-pressure hydrogen tanks. In 2002, Toyota began leasingthe "Toyota FCHV", a fuel cell SUV, on a limited basis in Japan and the U.S.Significant improvements have been made to the FC system since 2002. Thefuel cell sedan Toyota revealed today, for example, features performancesimilar to a gasoline engine vehicle, with a cruising range2 of approximately700 km (according to Toyota measurements taken under the Japanese Min-istry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's JC08 test cycle) and arefueling time of roughly three minutes. When driven, it emits only the watervapor produced by the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen.Fuel cell vehicles contribute to the diversification of automobile fuels, emitno CO2 or environmentally harmful substances during operation, and offerthe convenience of gasoline-powered cars. Toyota believes they have agreat deal of potential, and are ideal environmentally friendly vehicles forpromoting a sustainable mobility society.Toyota Group companies are also engaging in other hydrogen-related initia-tives, such as developing and testing fuel cells for use in homes, and devel-oping fuel cell forklifts and fuel cell buses.

Are you suffering from back acne?If you say that you have never 'faced' acne at any age, then you are probably were a blessed star-child with extra-terrestrial genes, because a majority of human being have dealt with acne at somepoint or the other in their lives.Case study: Koninica Dasgupta, 20, got up to itichy, scrachy, back that had developed small nod-ules. She and her mother surmised that it was some form of allergy but a visit to a dermatologistrevealed that Koninica was suffering from back/truncal acne.What is truncal acne?Doctors say that acne vulgaris is a common skin condition that is characterised by an area ofseborrhoea, comedones, papules and nodules that occur on the face, chest, back and upper arms.Dr Sadaf Rangooni, consultant dermatologist says, "Of this truncal acne i.e acne on the back andchest are estimated to occur in 61% patients."Why does back acne occur?Dr S S Trasi, dermatologist explains, "Back acne, like acne of face and elsewhere are caused due tothe activity of the oil glands. We have maximum oil glands on the face, shoulders, the back and thebuttocks, hence acne appear on these areas more."Men are more prone to back acne"Acne is basically hormonal in nature. Usually, women get pimples more on the face and men getmore pimples on the back," says Dr Trasi.Causes of acne on the back-Pityriasis Capitis (dandruff) is characterized by excessive flaking and abnormal shedding of theskin.-Seborrheic dermatitis- is an inflammatory condition characterised by scaling and erythema.-PCOD- polycystic ovarian diseases also causes Truncal acne.-Acne post laser treatmentit can cause folliculitis due to the heat generated by the laser therapy.-Shaving and waxing can also lead to folliculitis.-Any kind of occlusion, friction or heat can also cause acne.-Also seen in patients who have acne prone skin.TreatmentIt is a little difficult to treat acne on the back because skin is thicker in the area feels Dr Trasi. Shesuggests, "Usually acne leave scars are pigmentation which can be treated with lasers."Dr Sadaf says, "The patient should be put on topical combination of clindamycin and benzoylperoxide or retinoic acid derivative. In resistant cases, systemic antibiotic should be given." Headds that the patient should use benzoyl peroxide bathing soap and a salicylic acid peel should bedone in an interval if 15 days.
