Job's Tears, also known as adlay and coix, is a member of the grass family and popular in Asian cultures as a food source and for making jewelry. But the plant has also been used for centuries in folk medicine to treat dozens of conditions from arthritis to smallpox. Scientific research investigating Job's Tears hasn't been conducted much outside China and Korea, but results from those studies are discovering properties in the plant that may have potent health benefits.
Cholesterol Diabetic mice were fed the seeds from Job's Tears plants along with a high-cholesterol diet for four weeks in a study published in the "International Journal for Vitamin and Nutrition Research" in September 2006. Compared to a control group, the seed-eating mice had significantly reduced levels of total cholesterol and harmful low-density lipoprotein, or LDL, cholesterol.
Weight Loss Obese mice were injected with extracts from Job's Tears for four weeks in research published in 2004 in the journal "Life Sciences." Compared to a control group, the mice fed the extracts had reduced body weights, food intake, fat size, adipose fat tissue mass and levels of cholesterol and triglycerides.Endocrine Disorders Job's Tears extracts are used to treat endocrine disorders due to the plant's ability to decrease hormones like progesterone and testosterone.
In the December 2000 issue of the "Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine," painful menstrual symptoms were reduced 90 percent, which was a much better result than a control group treated with prescription medications. Gastrointestinal Benefits Job's Tears may also have protective benefits for the gastrointestinal system. A June 2011 study in the "Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry" found that Job's Tears seeds inhibited gastric cancer cells in vitro and were also able to decrease stomach ulcers in mice.

At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its innovative edge, and when societies around the world are trying to build digital-age economies, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the twenty-first century was to connect creativity with technology. He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering.
Although Jobs cooperated with this book, he asked for no control over what was written nor even the right to read it before it was published. He put nothing off-limits. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and the innovative products that resulted.
Driven by demons, Jobs could drive those around him to fury and despair. But his personality and products were interrelated, just as Apple’s hardware and software tended to be, as if part of an integrated system. His tale is instructive and cautionary, filled with lessons about innovation, character, leadership, and values.
