LONDON, ENGLAND, April 21, 2013 (Press-News.org) On Wednesday 17 April, British brand Molton Brown celebrated 40 years of 'blending with attitude' at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London with British fashion designed Giles Deacon and a range of VIP guests.
To commemorate the important landmark, Molton Brown has partnered with Deacon to create a limited edition candle snuff lid, which will be exclusively sold in-store at Harrods and online at www.moltonbrown.co.uk from 18 April 2013.
Inspired by Molton Brown's seventies roots, the design fuses Deacon's trademark playful style with the eccentric personality of London's bath, body and beauty connoisseurs. The keepsake marks Molton Brown's journey from hand-mixing products above a salon in London's South Molton Street in 1973 to becoming a global luxury brand, with products available in over 70 countries worldwide.
Speaking about the project Deacon said: "I love Molton Brown - it's a brand I have grown up with. They have always been champions of quirky, colourful design and are proud of their strong British heritage which is something I admire. I wanted to create a timeless design that nods to seventies London style - a bit eccentric but fun with a sense of humour."
The limited edition snuff lid complements Molton Brown's recently launched anniversary edition Patchouli & Saffron Single Wick Candle, which is part of a wider collection for bath, home and suitcase. The new Molton Brown scented candle has a seventies-inspired fragrance which blends top notes of hot pimento berry, caraway and bergamot, all housed in hand-blown glass.
In homage to the brand's heritage, guests at the Molton Brown anniversary party were transported to a seventies-inspired luxury apartment and treated to DJ sets from History Clock founder Nathan Gregory Wilkins and Deacon himself, as well as an acoustic set from singer-songwriter Delilah.

New radiotherapy approach reduces symptoms of dry mouth in patients with head and neck cancers
2013-04-20
Geneva, Switzerland: Researchers have shown for the first time that it is possible to reduce the distressing symptoms of dry mouth in patients treated with radiotherapy for head and neck cancers if the radiation dose to a salivary gland (called the submandibular gland) on the opposite side to the tumour is kept to the minimum.
The largest study yet to show a correlation between radiation doses to the submandibular glands and their output of saliva was presented today (Saturday) at the 2nd Forum of the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO). As a result ...
2 landmark studies report on success of using image-guided brachytherapy to treat cervical cancer
2013-04-20
Geneva, Switzerland: Two large, landmark radiotherapy studies have shown that it is possible to treat cervical cancer effectively with high doses specifically adapted to each tumour, and with fewer serious side-effects to the surrounding normal organs.
In two presentations today (Saturday) and tomorrow (Sunday) researchers will tell the 2nd Forum of the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) that image-guided brachytherapy is able to deliver very high doses, which prevent the tumour from growing in over 90% of patients, with few serious side-effects.

Calculating tsunami risk for the US East Coast
2013-04-20
Salt Lake City, Utah – The greatest threat of a tsunami for the U.S. east coast from a nearby offshore earthquake stretches from the coast of New England to New Jersey, according to John Ebel of Boston College, who presented his findings today at the Seismological Society of America 2013 Annual Meeting.
The potential for an East Coast tsunami has come under greater scrutiny after a 2012 earthquake swarm that occurred offshore about 280 kilometers (170 miles) east of Boston. The largest earthquake in the 15-earthquake swarm, most of which occurred on April 12, 2012, ...
A global murmur, then unusual silence
2013-04-20
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH -- In the global aftershock zone that followed the major April 2012 Indian Ocean earthquake, seismologists noticed an unusual pattern. The magnitude (M) 8.6 earthquake, a strike-slip event at intraoceanic tectonic plates, caused global seismic rates of M≥4.5 to rise for several days, even at distances thousands of kilometers from the mainshock site. However, the rate of M≥6.5 seismic activity subsequently dropped to zero for the next 95 days.
This period of quiet, without a large quake, has been a rare event in the past century. So why ...
Intense, specialized training in young athletes linked to serious overuse injuries
2013-04-20
MAYWOOD, Il. - Young athletes who specialize in one sport and train intensively have a significantly higher risk of stress fractures and other severe overuse injuries, even when compared with other injured athletes, according to the largest clinical study of its kind.
For example, young athletes who spent more hours per week than their age playing one sport – such as a 12-year-old who plays tennis 13 or more hours a week – were 70 percent more likely to experience serious overuse injuries than other injuries.

Mathematical models out-perform doctors in predicting cancer patients' responses to treatment
2013-04-20
Geneva, Switzerland: Mathematical prediction models are better than doctors at predicting the outcomes and responses of lung cancer patients to treatment, according to new research presented today (Saturday) at the 2nd Forum of the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO).
These differences apply even after the doctor has seen the patient, which can provide extra information, and knows what the treatment plan and radiation dose will be.
"The number of treatment options available for lung cancer patients are increasing, as well as the amount of information ...
Breast pain issue for 1 in 3 female marathon runners
2013-04-20
Women with larger cup sizes seem to be more susceptible, but childless women also seem to be more prone, and wearing a sports bra doesn't always help, finds the study, which publishes as London gears up for its annual international marathon tomorrow (Sunday April 21).
The authors base their findings on the responses of just under 1300 female competitors passing through the registration zone for last year's marathon in the capital.
The women were asked how much exercise they took, and its intensity - including participation in marathons - whether they wore sports bras ...
Painkillers taken before marathons linked to potentially serious side effects
2013-04-20
Many competitors try to prevent pain interfering with their performance by taking painkillers that are readily available in pharmacies and supermarkets, say the authors.
And in a bid to find out what impact these common drugs might have, the authors quizzed participants in the 2010 Bonn Marathon/Half-Marathon about their use of medication and any symptoms they had during and/or after the race.
In all, just under 4000 (56%) of all 7048 competitors returned their online questionnaires. Most (87%) had run marathons before.
Of those who took painkillers before the race, ...
UCLA study finds scientific basis for cognitive complaints of breast cancer patients
2013-04-20
For many years, breast cancer patients have reported experiencing difficulties with memory, concentration and other cognitive functions following cancer treatment. Whether this mental "fogginess" is psychosomatic or reflects underlying changes in brain function has been a bone of contention among scientists and physicians.
Now, a new study led by Dr. Patricia Ganz, director of cancer prevention and control research at UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, demonstrates a significant correlation between poorer performance on neuropsychological tests and memory complaints ...
Ultrafast technique unlocks design principles of quantum biology
2013-04-20
University of Chicago researchers have created a synthetic compound that mimics the complex quantum dynamics observed in photosynthesis and may enable fundamentally new routes to creating solar-energy technologies. Engineering quantum effects into synthetic light-harvesting devices is not only possible, but also easier than anyone expected, the researchers report in the April 18 edition of Science Express.
The researchers have engineered small molecules that support long-lived quantum coherences. Coherences are the macroscopically observable behavior of quantum superpositions. ...
