One study (albeit very small) followed five acne sufferers ages
18 to 23 who took a supplement containing omega-3 fatty acids for
two months. After the study period, the researchers found a
significant decrease in the number of acne lesions and not one
participant experienced an increase in acne. However, the placebo
effect may have played a role in the findings (acne has been
shown to be rather susceptible to the placebo effect). A larger
study followed 45 participants with mild to moderate acne who
took an omega-3 supplement for ten weeks. After the study period,
results showed that both inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne
lesions had decreased.

"The word "love" is most often defined as a noun,
yet...we would all love to better if we used it as a verb,"
writes bell hooks as she comes out fighting and on fire in All
About Love. Here, at her most provocative and intensely personel,
the renowned scholar, cultural critic, and feminist skewers our
view of love as romance. In its place she offers a proactive new
ethic for a people and a society bereft with lovelessness.
As bell hooks uses her incisive mind and razor-sharp pen to
explode th question "What is love?" her answers strike
at both the mind and heart. In thirteen concise chapters, hooks
examines her own search for emotional connection and society's
failure to provide a model for learning to love. Razing the
cultural paradigm that the ideal love is infused with sex and
desire, she provides a new path to love that is sacred,
redemptive, and healing for the individuals and for a nation.

With few opportunities for young women in postwar Ireland,
soft-spoken Eilis Lacey (Saoirse Ronan) gets the chance of a
lifetime. Her family arranges with a kindly Brooklyn priest (Jim
Broadbent) for Eilis to move America to have a better chance at
life.
Eilis jumps at the chance. Although she gets a room at a Brooklyn
boarding house and a job at a swanky department store, Eilis
struggles to find her place. That changes when she meets Tony
(Emory Cohen), a handsome young Italian man with an infectious
passion for life. When a family tragedy draws her back to
Ireland, she's faced with a dilemma.
