Visible Scars Introduces New Apparel Line, Picking Up Where Mood Rings Left Off

New clothing line features psychology-inspired designs and statements.

2010-10-18

ST. PETERSBURG, FL, October 18, 2010 (Press-News.org) In the 1970s, America saw the introduction of Mood Rings, which changed colors based on an individual's body temperature. The 1990s gave birth to heat-sensitive clothing, with similar color-changing features. Today, a new apparel company has announced the release of a clothing line evolved from these previous concepts - but with a deeper psychological twist. Visible Scars is introducing emotion-based apparel, featuring mood-altered clothing designs.

Visible Scars Design & Apparel, based out of St. Petersburg, FL, found the need to answer the requests of consumers, given the current trends in the graphic T-shirt market. "Emotional necessity is the mother of invention," stated Visible Scars founder and self-proclaimed "Soul" Proprietor, Jeremie W. Roberts. "I think we, as human beings, are always looking for unique ways to express ourselves...getting to the root of who we really are. Exposing our emotional scars through apparel is a solid way to accomplish this. That is where our concepts come from."

With T-shirts featuring artistic statements and imagery such as "Disgruntled", "Unstoppable", "Intensity", "Tortured" and "Vindicated", it is no surprise that the clothing line has caught the attention of the arts community, as well as the MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) industry. Earlier this month, MMA Champion Jason Kilgore wore Visible Scars apparel to the ring for his victory at the 3FC Fighting Championship in Pigeon Forge, TN. Kilgore went on record to state: "The Visible Scars clothing designs reflect the intensity of my fighting style. The statements definitely get the point across."

With primary online sales currently coming from www.VisibleScars.com, and the brand just entering the physical retail market, Visible Scars has an extremely positive outlook on the future. "Our goal is to connect the proper themed shirts to the people that need to express a specific emotion," Roberts states. "This same goal is reflected in our tagline - Wear your soul on your sleeve".

Researchers find nonprofit weight loss program beats obesity

2010-10-17

AURORA, Colo. (October 14, 2010) - In the battle against obesity, new research has found that it may not be necessary to spend a lot on a weight loss program when cheaper, nonprofit alternatives may work just as well. Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus found those who spent three years in the nonprofit Take Off Pounds Sensibly (TOPS) program lost five to seven percent of their body weight and kept it off. "This is the first time a study of this size and duration has ever been done on a weight loss program," said Nia Mitchell, MD, MPH, ...

Using discards, scientists discover different dinosaurs' stomping grounds

2010-10-17

New Haven, Conn.—By examining the type of rock in which dinosaur fossils were embedded, an often unappreciated part of the remains, scientists have determined that different species of North American dinosaurs from the Late Cretaceous period 65 million years ago occupied different environments separated by just a few miles. Hadrosaurs or duck-billed dinosaurs, along with the small ornithopod Thescelosaurus, preferred to live along the edge of rivers, according to the research. Ceratopsians, on the other hand, which include the well-known Triceratops, preferred to be several ...

Small BMI change in overweight children could have big blood pressure impact

2010-10-17

Small changes in weight can make bigger differences in the blood pressure for overweight children, compared to those at normal weight, according to a new study. Researchers tracked blood pressure, height and weight of 1,113 children over time, with the longest follow-up exceeding 10 years. They then compared the children's body mass index (BMI, a measure of body weight) to national charts adjusted for age, sex and height. Kids with BMIs in the 85th percentile or higher are considered overweight. "Below the 85th percentile, BMI effects on blood pressure appear to be fairly ...

Team of chemists produces biodiesel at their university, using used cooking oil as a basis

2010-10-17

The cafeterias at the Catering School on the Leioa campus of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) use litres upon litres of oil for cooking, given that many students, research workers, lecturers and ancillary staff eat there. Currently a truck takes away all the waste. However, a number of Chemistry Faculty lecturers have demonstrated that this oil can be used and revalued at the university itself, having managed to produce biodiesel from the used oil. According to lecturer Ms Eneritz Anakabe, "we have shown that it can be done on a small scale, that biodiesel ...

2 studies present new data on effects of alcohol during pregnancy

2010-10-17

Scientific data continue to indicate that higher intake of alcohol during pregnancy adversely affects the fetus, and could lead to very severe developmental or other problems in the child. However, most recent publications show little or no effects of occasional or light drinking by the mother during pregnancy. The studies also demonstrate how socio-economic, education, and other lifestyle factors of the mother may have large effects on the health of the fetus and child; these must be considered when evaluating the potential effects of alcohol during pregnancy. A ...
