For Art's Sake: Inside the Homes of Art Dealers--a new book out from Rizzoli by the Venezuelan-born art collector Tiqui Atencio Demirdjian--is, despite its artistic pedigree, all about interiors. Over [...]

Background: Among adolescents and young adults (AYAs), “current use” of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) is commonly defined as any use in the past 30 days. However, few studies have examined differences among those within this broad category. This study examined characteristics of AYAs who used e-cigarettes at a low frequency (within the last 3 months but <6 days out of the past 30 days) and those who used e-cigarettes at a high frequency (6+ days out of the past 30 days).Methods: We conducted cross-sectional analyses among 551 Ohio AYAs (15- to 24-year-olds) who reported using an e-cigarette to vape nicotine in the past 3 months. We used descriptive statistics and logistic regression to characterize those using e-cigarettes at a low frequency and a high frequency.Results: Among our sample of AYAs who reported past 3-month e-cigarette use, about half (50.8%) reported using an e-cigarette 6 or more days out of the past 30 days (ie, high frequency). In the multivariable analysis, reported nicotine dependence (Odds Ratio [OR]: 7.0, 95% CI: 4.8, 10.3) and current other tobacco product use (OR: 1.8, 95% CI: 1.1, 2.9) were associated with high-frequency e-cigarette use.Conclusion: Our results suggest that frequency of use is an important characteristic in understanding AYA e-cigarette use. Any use in the past 30 days may not be sensitive enough to understand dependence and tobacco-use behaviors. Further characterizing “current” e-cigarette use by frequency of use may provide meaningful information for public health professionals to better target intervention and cessation efforts to AYAs.

Few influential and famous stores and manufactures of designer furniture and furnishings describe their single best-selling item. Petrified wood stools, whistling teakettle, chilewich tablemats, antler chandelier, Moose head, clothes hanger, stacking chair, martini glasses and even trash can are some of the items bought by upper class section of the society and these are quite heavy on pocket.

PHOTO (COLOR): In the library, the chair is by Vasconcellos, the lamp is vintage, and the table is by Joaquim Tenreiro. These days, Vasconcellos's design practice straddles architecture, furniture, and interiors, and that desire to include something almost unknowable in her work often translates to a focus on contemporary art, which she passionately collects. FEATURES WHEN BRAZILIAN DESIGNER JULIANA Lima Vasconcellos was a child, she dreamed of being a painter. [Extracted from the article]
