Most students find that writing a research paper is the toughest challenge they face in order to earn their college degree. It is time consuming and brain draining. But at the end, it is one of the unforgettable moments students treasure.

Students face several common challenges in writing a research paper. By learning what these challenges are, youll be more prepared and more confident in finishing your paper. Most importantly, you will be able to avoid committing common mistakes and score higher.

Researching and gathering data is the first challenge that students face in writing their research papers.

Surprisingly, many students do not know how to find the best sources. To find the data needed, read the Table of Contents and the Reference notes at the back of the book. If the information supports your point of argue, include it as your source.

Some students highly rely on the Internet for sources because of its convenience. Whether they are lazy to go to the library or the topic they are searching for has very limited resources, students turn to the Internet for an alternative source. Then again, not everything that is published online is 100% accurate. Before using a website as a source, look for citations and references. Or, browse several related websites and check for consistency.

Another challenge is developing a thesis statement. Some researches discuss a general topic while some are dealing with something specific. Generally, a thesis statement tells the readers what is the topic you are covering. A good thesis statement expresses your take or opinion as well as your conclusion about the topic. If you think your thesis statement has not yet established all the points you want to cover in the research, rephrase it.

Coherency and consistency is another problem encountered by students in writing their research papers. The volume of information they are receiving from their sources can lead them off topic. Creating an outline of your main ideas and secondary points can help you stay coherent.

Finding evidence to support your research paper is another challenge in writing a research paper. It is a common cause of failure to most students. Evidence can be quoting a conclusion or theory from a source. Sources are important to support and develop the idea you have presented.

On the other hand, if your topic has numerous literatures and references, presenting evidence would not be a problem. This is the main point why it is important to choose a topic that has wide available resources and references.
Citations and following formatting standards are the most challenging part of writing a research paper. Many students tend to forget citing their sources. This simple act of negligence has some serious consequences such as plagiarism. To prevent such error, write the quotes you decide to use in a paper and list the source right away.
It doesnt hurt to double check your work. Review and proofread your paper before printing it. Have somebody else do a quick review of your research paper. Ask him to spot the errors that you have missed.

Nevertheless, the key to a successful research paper is organization. Create guidelines of what you want to accomplish in your research. Outlines help in keeping you on track as well as in setting priorities.

Common Causes and Treatments for Hypopigmentation White Spots on Skin

Image source: http://img.medscapestatic.com/pi/features/slideshow-slide/identifying-lesions/fig6.jpg?resize=645:439

When skin is damaged by UV exposure two conditions can occur: hyperpigmentation, and hypopigmentation. The first, hyperpigmentation, is the occurance of dark sunspots that form as the body produces melanocytes that absorb the UV radiation and prevent it from causing damage to the deeper layers of skin. Hypopigmentation occurs after a trauma to the skin, and yes, overexposure to sun counts as a trauma. Excess UV causes tiny scars on the skin, and those patches lose the ability to produce melanin, and the visible effect is white spots on the skin. These are typically surrounded by hyperpigmentation spots, and that is how you know these spots are a result of sun damage.

This condition is not dangerous or serious, but it is completely irreversible. Once the spots form, there is no way medical or esthetic to reverse the damage. The best way to treat is to prevent further damage by properly using sunscreen.

That being said, there are three ways to mask the damage.
1. The first is the application of self tanners. Self tanners will, temporarily, dye the skin cells and cover the hypopigmentation. You can have these products applied professionally, or you can do it yourself at home (but be careful, watch for streaking!)
2. The second is the application of permanent makeup to cover the damaged areas with pigment. The permanent makeup artist will match the color to your skin tone, and usually the damaged area is completely neutralized by the application.
3. By using microdermabrasion and chemical peels to neutralize the hyperpigmentation (dark spots) you can see an improvement in skin tone, as the lighter patches do not stand out as noticeably.

Lastly, these solutions apply to hypopigmentation spots caused by sun damage; there are several other causes for hypopigmentation, so it is best to consult a medical professional to rule out the following conditions:
Vitiligo: Vitiligo causes smooth, white patches on the skin. In some people, these patches can appear all over the body. It is an autoimmune disorder in which the pigment-producing cells are damaged. Symptoms of vitiligo include an often rapid pigment loss in several areas of the skin, and it is more common in dark skinned individuals.
Tinea Versicolor: Tinea versicolor is caused by a fungus. This fungus lives all around us, including on the skin. Symptoms of tinea versicolor include small, flat, round or oval spots that may, over time, form patches. The spots occur on oily areas of skin on the upper chest, back, or upper arms or, less often, on the upper thighs, neck, or face. The spots can be lighter or darker than the skin around them. This condition can be very tricky to diagnose, so make sure you consult a medical professional if you suspect you have Tinea Versicolor.

Colorado, Nation Face Dangerous Flu Season

Image source: http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/09/02/09/43C5F38500000578-4846142-Dr_Brett_Sutton_said_the_nation_is_at_its_worst_flu_seasons_ever-a-12_1504340443792.jpg

Health officials are warning people to take precautions as Colorado and the country face a particularly bad flu season.
ER Specialists Urgency Center is ready to help treat all flu symptoms from minor to severe and still has a supply of flu vaccine left.

As of Jan. 13, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that 32 states have experienced high flu activity. Colorado is among nine other states experiencing moderate activity.

While moderate by CDC standards, it is widespread in Colorado as the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment reports that 2,366 people have been hospitalized since Oct. 1. In contrast, state health officials reported 3,340 flu-related hospitalizations during the prior flu season that ran from Oct. 2, 2016, through May 27, 2017. Media outlets are reporting that three times as many flu victims as normal have been hospitalized this flu season.

Health officials attribute many hospitalizations to a type of Influenza A called H3N2, which can mutate during the vaccine production process and make vaccines less effective. They still urge people to consider getting a flu vaccination as its still the best prevention strategy available. It also is not too late to get a vaccination, said Dr. Julie Marmon, owner and partner of ER Specialists Urgency Center.

No doubt about it, the flu is nasty this year, she said. The vaccine coverage isnt great, the season started early and IV fluid bas are backordered because of the hurricane damage in Puerto Rico.

The good news? If you have a flu shot it is likely that your symptoms will be less severe. It is not too late to get a flu shot. A lot of places are out, but we have the quadrivalent vaccine for anyone 4 years and older.

The Colorado Springs urgent care center offers walk-in flu shots with no appointment necessary. The urgent care center can also treat all flu symptoms from minor to severe.

The ER Specialists Urgency Center is located at 4194 Royal Pine Drive, Suite 100, in Colorado Springs, 80920. The center is a fully equipped emergency room offering emergency room treatment at urgent care rates. It offers urgent care in Colorado Springs for anything from cuts and sprains to chest pain, breathing problems and head injuries. Its medical staff is board-certified, specially trained and certified in emergency medicine.

Collecting Vintage Perfume Bottles: The History of Perfume Bottles

The History and Evolution of Perfume Bottles
(courtesy of http://www.perfumes.com/eng/bottles.htm)

Perfume Bottles in Ancient Times

The enticing scent of the perfect perfume and the eye-catching elegance of the bottle has been an important part of world culture since ancient times. The oldest known perfume bottles came from the Ancient Egyptians. They crafted containers made of stone and alabaster which kept the perfume cool, and prevented the liquid from leaking. The Ancient Egyptians also used clay pots that they sculpted into designs of people and animals.

Perfume was an important part of the Egyptians preparation of the dead. Many of these ancient perfume bottles have been found in tombs. Containers have been found made of wood with different compartments for each perfume.

Glass bottles were also a part of ancient perfume history. They date all the way back to the fifteenth century BC. Perfume bottles made of glass were lightweight, and also prevented the liquid from leaking. Eventually the glass bottles were created in a variety of colors.

Perfume bottles discovered in Palestine were made of glass, and were designed to have a narrow long neck. These delicate bottles were primarily found in tombs. Larger perfume bottles were also found in tombs because it was believed to mask the smell of the dead bodies.

The Ancient Greeks also made beautiful containers to hold their perfume. They hand painted vases which were often shaped as animals. They used lidded bowls for holding less expensive perfumes.

The Roman's cherished their perfumes. They used hollowed-out precious stones to carry their most valuable fragrances.

Early European Perfume Bottles

Europeans used many different materials to store their precious perfumes. The most common materials that were used were glass, gold, silver, porcelain, semi-precious stones and shells. Perfume was commonly used in the form of incense. Some incense burners consisted of a container held from chains that was swung like a pendulum during Mass in the Christian Church. Stationary incense burners were also commonly used in Churches.

Some European perfume containers were designed to be worn. Semi-precious stones held perfumes and were pinned to clothing. Silver earrings were worn that contained perfume soaked fabric inside of them. Many containers were designed to be hung around the neck, from a belt, or from a finger ring.

Perfume bottles were handcrafted and designed by artists, jewelers and goldsmiths. Each bottle was gently crafted and designed to be worn, or displayed on a table.

Small wooden boxes were created to hold a sponge soaked with perfume. These boxes would fit inside a pocket and could be taken out and inhaled at any time.

Porcelain was used in the Thirteenth Century. Many highly decorative bottles were created. Boxes were created that included perfume and other essentials. Some boxes contained several bottles of perfumes, a funnel and a mixing dish.

Most fragrances during this time were first sold in inexpensive, plain bottles. Then the perfume was transferred into a fancy bottle at home.

Perfume Bottles of the Early 1800s and 1900s

The design of perfume bottles made a dramatic change in the late 1800's. There was a great incline of the arts movement called Art Nouveau. Most Art Nouveau designs consisted of floral motifs, and were primarily used to design the perfume label and box, leaving the perfume bottles fairly traditional in styling.

Several famous pieces of this time were the Bouquet Nouveau, Royal Vaissier, and Cri du Coeur. The Bouquet Nouveau was a Roger & Gallet perfume. It had a square green-glass bottle with an unusual gilded brass casing. Royal Vaissier displayed magnificent Art Nouveau style paper motifs in the form of a fleur de lys designed by Baccarat. Cri du Coeur (Cry from the heart) was a Lorenzy-Palanca powder box. It had a woman-flower image which is a rare high-style Art Nouveau icon.

Belle Epoque was the preferred style for perfume presentations at this time. The style tended to be traditional, cluttered, very elegant and very French. Examples of perfume bottles of this style were Coronis by Monpelas and Roger & Gallet's Gloire de Paris.

A new trend in perfume bottles was to create a bottle that looked like a luxurious crystal with an elaborate brass cap. The bottles had classic designs, and the brass caps matched the ornate gold labels and boxes. A few examples of this style were Rose Ispahan and Prince Igor by Riguard, Rose de Chiraz by F. Wolff & Sohn, Stylis by Delettrez, Eros by Richard Hudnut, Le Lilas by Riguard, and Mavis by Vivaudou.

During the 1910's, there was a noticeable shift in the design of the traditional perfume bottle. The emergence of psychology and new perfume creations led to much more complex perfume bottles and names. The power of suggestion and dreams was having a huge effect on cultures in general, and perfumes were also affected. Perfumes were being marketed for specific times of day, seasons, and people.

Guerlain introduced the perfume "Voila pourquoi j'aimais Rosine" (That is why I loved Rosine). The bottle resembled a vase, and the stopper was concealed under silk flowers. The bottle shape was again used in Guerlain's "Muguet" (Lily of the Valley). It was later re-introduced in all white with a white ribbon replacing the silk flowers. This presentation was an immediate success. Guerlain later introduced "Le Mouchoir de Monsieur" (The Gentleman's Handkerchief) which had an innovative bottle with the shape of a triangle and a spiral motif on each side.

Rene Lalique was approached in 1906 by the perfumer Francois Coty to design the bottles for his perfumes. Coty was well established in the perfume industry and desired both beautiful and affordable bottles to hold his perfumes. Lalique was successful in fulfilling Coty's wishes, and continued to design bottles for his future creations. His most famous designs include Au Coeur des Calices, L'Entrainement and Ambre Antique. He also designed bottles for other perfumers. Some of his most famous creations were developed for Houbigant, Roger et Gallet, D'Orsay, Forvil, and Arys and Molinard.

Other creative perfume bottles of this time were "Rediviva" (Revived) by La Compagnie Francais du Lysogene. It was shaped like a porcelain coffeepot, and the perfume was dispensed through the end of the spout. Illusion was presented by Dralle in 1908. It had a silver case shaped like a lighthouse, and the perfume bottle was held inside of the case.

The Oriental Movement in Paris began in 1910 by Paul Poiret, a famous French fashion designer. Pioret introduced an Oriental style in clothing, furnishings and perfumes. Women, who longed to wear the gowns he designed, but could not afford them, could still wear his perfume. For women who did wear his collections, the perfume was the final touch. Poiret developed a new perfume "Chez Pioret" with beautiful and innovative packaging. The bottle was made of clear glass with a colored glass stopper. It was decorated with gold tassels, and had a new label with a classic "R". Pioret used his boxes as a tool for expressing the style of the fragrance.

Bichara Malhame was a very successful perfumer in Paris. His famous label on his perfumes portrayed himself seizing a mythological figure of Fortune by the hair. He also appeared on a Baccarat stopper wearing a wig, and appearing as an English judge.

Perfume Bottles of the 1920s

The 1920's brought a new era to perfumes. After World War I, many American Soldiers brought perfumes back to the states from Paris. This greatly influenced the perfume market in the United States. The perfume industry expanded rapidly, and many new perfume companies emerged.

Many fashion designers expanded their merchandise by including perfume. Most of these designers knew very little about creating a good fragrance, but they did know about style. They understood the importance of the visual presentation, which became vital to the success of the perfume.

Mascarades were very popular at this time, and had a strong influence on perfume bottles. "Masque Rouge" was introduced in a very modern bottle, and the box had a red mask motif. "Mascarades" by Cherigan came in a black bottle with a golden face under a rain of gold dust. "Arlequinade" was a Rosine perfume which resembled a Harlequin costume. It had gilded and clear triangles on the bottle, and a dark-green Bakelite stopper in the form of Harlequin's hat and an orange wood tassel.

"Bakanir" was introduced in 1927 by Honore Payan. The bottle was a simple geometric shape with a stopper resembling an exotic headdress. The box was covered with painted leather with a ceramic plaque. It was one of the most luxurious presentations for perfume.

Baccarat perfume bottles were designed using superior quality crystal. They designed bottles for most of the perfume companies during this time. Two of their famous perfume bottles were designed in 1927. "Silver Butterfly" by Delettrez was made of pink crystal with silver ornamentation. It was designed in the shape of a vertical hexagon with an abstract motif. "Astris" by L.T. Piver was shaped as a star, and featured a silver six-pointed motif.

One of the most famous perfumes, Chanel No 5, was released by Chanel in 1921. The perfume was revolutionary in scent and presentation. The bottle was a very simple design. The perfume was intended to make the masculine world available to women.

Perfume Bottles of the 1930s

With the stock market crash of 1929, and the depression that devastated the United States, the perfume market slowed down dramatically. There remained a more limited demand in Paris, and only the strongest companies such as Baccarat, Brosse and Lalique were able to continue. The bottles became less elaborate, tended to be conservative and were often machine made.

Perfume bottles during this time were less frequently inspired by nature, and more often reflected Hollywood movies and metropolitan cities. Lalique designed the presentation for "Je Reviens" by Worth. The bottle resembled New York skyscrapers. It was a tall ribbed bottle in dark-blue glass. The stopper was sky blue, and the box had a chrome surface. It was a very modern presentation.

Jean Patou released the perfume "Normandie" in 1935. It was inspired by the luxury ship the Normandie. All First Class Passengers on the ship's maiden voyage were given a souvenir model of the Normandie. Inside the model of the ship was a crystal bottle of perfume.

Perfume Bottles of the 1940s

World War II caused another decrease in new perfume creations, as well as a decline in the quality of perfume presentations. After the war, the perfume industry was re-established, and many new perfumers emerged.

Christian Dior and Nina Ricci both presented works of art that strongly influenced the perfume industry. "Miss Dior" by Christian Dior was offered in an elegant clear crystal Baccarat bottle. Dior used a classic look that was elegant and luxurious. Nina Ricci was known for feminine and romantic creations. L'Air du Temps was released in 1948 and sold in a sunburst shaped bottle. The stopper was decorated with a dove. The lid of the box was lined with white silk and depicted a woman and a flying dove. The 1951 box was in the shape of a birdcage covered in yellow silk, and was illuminated by a battery.

Perfume Bottles of the 1950s

Perfumes once again became inspired by romance in the 1950's. Salvador Dali designed the bottle for "Monsieur Marquay" by Marquay. The bottle featured an elegant man with a top hat and bow tie. The box was simple white with Dali's moustache and signature.

Christian Dior introduced "Diorissimo" in 1956. The special edition bottle was designed by Baccarat. The crystal bottle was in the form of an amphora, and the stopper had a magnificent flower bouquet in gilded bronze designed by Chrystiane Charles.

"Magie" was released by Lancome in 1950. Every Christmas a special edition was released. It was presented in a Baccarat spherical bottle with stars, and a box covered in leather or satin.

Modern Day Perfume Bottles

Pierre Dinand was the first perfume bottle designer to produce perfume bottles exclusively. Dinand designs bottles with a modern feel, and uses the bottle as an expression of the perfume. He has produced numerous bottles using state of the art plastics, and has transformed perfume bottles in the 1980's and 1990's.

Serge Mansau is another modern day perfume bottle designer. He prefers to focus his designs on nature's beauty. His prize winning bottle for "Montana" was inspired by a maple seed. He has used flowers, stones and waterfalls as ideas for his bottle designs.

Jewelers have also entered the perfume business. Van Cleef & Arpels were the first jewelers to release a fragrance. Cartier followed An Cleef & Arpels with the bottle for Panthere in 1986. Tiffany, Bvlgari, Chopard and Boucheron have also launched fragrances.

Baccarat and Lalique continue to design the highest quality perfume bottles. Perfume bottle collecting has also become very popular. Most collectable perfume bottles come from French perfumes and date from the 19th and 20th centuries.

Modern day perfume bottles are expected to give the feel of the fragrance. The perfume bottle makes the first impression, and often helps the buyer decide if they want to add the fragrance to their personal collection.

Climb If You Dare 5 Most Dangerous Mountains on Earth

Climb If You Dare: 5 Most Dangerous Mountains on Earth

Mountaineering is a fun outdoor activity, but not something that all people can attempt. However, if youre a true climber, nothing is fulfilling as reaching the summit of the highest mountains.

Unfortunately, fun isnt something that youll get all the time.

Its a risky affair. There are some dangerous mountains in the world that even the most experienced climbers fear.

This post will cover some of the deadliest mountains that are known for their high fatality rates and accidents.

1. Mont Blanc Massif

This is the tallest mountain in the Alpine range, measuring about 15,782 ft. Climbers die on this mountain every year due to rock slides and high altitude. This makes it the mountain with the highest number of fatalities.

Mont Black causes about 100 deaths every year. Over 6,000 climbers have died on it. The first successful climb was in 1786. However, the mountain is also popular because President Theodore Roosevelt reached its top in 1886.

2. Annapurna

Boasting a height of 26,246 feet, Nepals Annapurna has one of the tallest peaks that attracts climbers from everywhere. About 191 people have successfully climbed this mountain since 1950.

60 people have already died in an effort to reach the summit of Annapurna. Of all the mountains with 8,000-meter peaks, Annapurna is regarded as the most dangerous with a fatality rate of 41 percent.

3. K2

K2 is the second-highest mountain in the world. Its easy to climb Kilimanjaro, but thats not the case with K2 as climbers consider it one of the most difficult. Even on the easier routes, climbers encounter ice pillars that prone to collapse, steep areas of rock, and complicated glaciers.

This mountain is found on the border of China and Pakistan. It measures 28,251 feet. K2 has a nasty reputation with female climbers to the point that its thought to have a curse against women.

Wanda Rutkiewicz, a Polish climber, was the first woman to reach K2s summit in 1986.

All the five women that attempted to climb it again since that year died. It wasnt until 2004 when Spanish mountaineer Edurne Pasaban successfully reached the summit.

4. Nanga Parbat

This mountain is popularly known as the Man Eater and has a height of 26,657 ft. Nanga Parbat is located in Pakistan. It features an enormous ridge of ice and rock. Its the ninth highest mountain in the world and has the tallest mountain face.

It was popular with the German climbers because K2 was difficult to climb and only the Britons had access to Everest. Several deaths occurred on this mountain before the first successful attempt in 1953.

By 1953, Nanga Parbat had already claimed the lives of 31 climbers.

5. Kangchenjunga

Positioned on the border of India and Nepal, Kangchenjunga has a height of 28,169 ft. Its a beautiful mountain, but looks can be deceiving. Extreme cold levels and avalanches have made Kangchenjunga one of the most dangerous mountains.

The first attempt was in 1853, but the climbers descended after determining the summit was unsafe. Over the years, this mountain has claimed the lives of 53 climbers.

Dangerous Mountains The Bottom Line

To pull a mountain climbing expedition, its important to prepare for it adequately to minimize the possibility of accidents.

Experienced climbers understand that there are risks. However, when the conditions are favorable and safety measures are taken, hitting the summit is the only task at hand.

These cases should not scare you. There are different easy mountains, such as Mount Fuji, Pikes Peak, Mount Hood, and Island Peak, you can try if you are new to mountain climbing.

For individuals with diabetes, heart problems and other cardiovascular issues, it is a safe alternative to some of the more lucrative dieting programs existing in the weight loss industry today.
The Lean Belly Breakthrough Program https://www.clickreviewz.com/lean-belly-breakthrough-reviews competes in a market where many fads and extreme dieting techniques are heavily promoted. This product tries to serve as an exception. Unlike with most weight loss programs, users receive a list of compatible foods as opposed to specific meal plans. This alteration takes pressure off the user and allows them to stay feeling full, nutritiously satisfied and still at or below caloric maintenance levels.

The system applies specifically to people 40 years of age and older. It's designed to address the common health and nutrition issues that the older generations face. Within the program, users will find a list of foods that increase the risk of heart attack, dramatically raise blood sugar levels and more. The bigger picture is a list of compatible and incompatible foods for a healthy, weight loss-friendly diet plan. The users can then shape up their grocery lists and meal plans according to their preferences.

Users are provided with exact instructions on how to tame down unwanted belly fat. The highly spoken of "60 Second Belly Shred," which is a workout invented by Dr. Krahn himself, helps to tone the stomach and give real promising results. The program comes with a 60-day money back guarantee, relieving users of any concern over whether it will work for them. Those that take advantage of Dr. Krahn's offering will have the option to get their money back if they don't subscribe to the concepts, or if they are not completely satisfied with their results in a given time period.

The Lean Belly Breakthrough Program takes what is viewed as one of the safest approaches to losing weight. The program does not recommend any drastic calorie-cutting measures, just diet and lifestyle changes. Progress comes quicker in those that fit the targeted demographic -- older people that deal with more inflammation. Addressing such health issues through nutrition and exercise typically results in slimming down anyway. The most impactful factor here is the conglomerate of nutrition advice. Knowing what to eat and what to avoid, both for caloric intake and blood glucose control purposes will keep the user in charge of their fat loss journey.

However, like with other diet plans, results may vary from person to person. Likewise, the Clickreviewz reviews team advices one to proceed with caution while following this diet. It is also very important that users consult their healthcare provider to get a seal of approval prior to starting this program or any weight loss program.

Choosing The Right Fancy Dress For A Memorable Night

Image source: http://www.styleswardrobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Evening-Gowns-2.jpg

Going to a costume-themed party is an exciting experience in life because you will get to wear a costume or fancy dress which characterizes your favorite superhero or fairy tale. Choosing the right fancy dress for the event will turn the experience a memorable night of your life. This could be your moment to shine and get noticed by wearing a fancy dress that will enhance your beauty and at the same time make you the star of the night.

The fancy dress that you might choose can be useful in different types of costume parties, prom nights, birthday themed parties, and other themed-events. Even in theatrical plays and costume competitions, fancy dresses are very much in demand. So if you are planning to buy one, make sure you have other occasions to use it for.

Most of the fancy dress ideas come from characters involved in history, movies, classical books, fairy tales, cartoons, and adventure stories. You can copy their outfits for your costumes or you can also go adventurous with your fancy dress by going different and designing your own unique set of fancy dress for the event.

For kids who are so excited to wear such fancy dresses for a competition or any kind of party, the parents are the ones who get to face the challenge since choosing a fancy dress for the little ones could be so difficult, especially if you are aiming to get the first prize. Although most fancy dresses that are available for little kids are usually from cartoon character ideas, there are still other available options if you prefer to look unfamiliar.

For teens to adults, most of the fancy dresses are character inspired as well, but there are still some people with creative and innovative minds that create unique designs for their own fancy dress.

If you are in need of a fancy dress for an upcoming event, whether it is a party or a competition, you can always create your own dress. But if you have no enough time to do it yourself, you can hire a costume or you can buy one. Many costume shops in Sydney offer their fancy dresses at affordable prices for hire or for rent. You can choose one that will suit the event you are going to attend to.

If you prefer to buy your fancy dress, you have to consider what type of theme the party is based, or if this is intended for a competition, you should know what theme you are trying to portray. If the theme idea is something unique or authentic, buying fancy dress on a tight budget would not be enough; you still have to further improve the design yourself based on your theme and creations.

If the costume is for ordinary themed-party only, you can hire fancy dresses at any costume shops near you. This option is more convenient for you since the design is already there and you will only need to pay for it and return it after the event.

Choosing A Facial Skin Care System - 2 Tips You Should Never Miss

Image source: https://cdn2.harveynorman.com.au/media/wysiwyg/product/featured/IPL10000PLUS/IPL10000PLUS_6.png

Are you just plain fed up of choosing a new facial skin care system every six months? Have you ever wondered why this happens to you? Why is it that every time you choose a product, and it does not give the results that you expect? Probably, something is wrong in the way you choose a facial skin care system.

In this article, I will share with you 2 important tips to keep in mind while choosing an effective facial skin care system.

Tip 1 Avoid harmful ingredients :

It is the number one reason why most skin care products do not work. Along with effective ingredients, most products contain some harmful ones that actually nullify the effect of the good ones. If you are looking for an effective product then make it a point to read the ingredient's list and learn to identify the ingredients that are harmful for your skin. Here is a short list:

Dioxane: Scientifically known as 1, 4 di-oxane. It is a byproduct of a process called ethoxylation, used to make harsh ingredients soft. It is a known carcinogen.

Fragrance: Nothing can be more misleading than it. Fragrances can consist of more than 4000 harmful chemicals that are toxic and carcinogenic. They can have a direct negative impact on the central nervous system, causing depression and hyper-activity. They can also interfere with the human reproductive system.

Mineral oil: Also known as liquid paraffin, petrolatum or paraffin wax. All these are known to create a cover on skin to keep it moist. In turn, they clog the skin pores and reduce the skin's natural ability to get rid of internal toxins and wastes, leading to acne and black head. The only reason why skin-care companies use this ingredient is because it is cheap and easy to procure.

Tip 2 Use natural skin-care products :

An effective facial skin care system use natural and active ingredients in their products. These ingredients are carefully chosen for the skin of face because it is more sensitive as in comparison to the rest of the skin. Such ingredients gently soothe the skin and provide a natural tone to the face.

Ingredients like CynergyTK and CoenzymeQ10 are helpful in increasing the natural production of collagen hence reducing fine lines and wrinkles naturally.

Ingredients like Wakame and Active Manuka Honey are rich anti-oxidants and reduce the free radical activity in the skin.

In conclusion, if you want superlative results then choose a facial skin care system that is natural and does not contain any harmful ingredients.

Child Abuse Can Toxic Shame Stop Someone Who Was Abused As A Child From Getting The Help That They Need

Image source: http://www.smartcarguide.com/listimg/img1_0414/11/img_f_304761111-3202997487.jpeg

In an ideal world, perhaps every child would receive the level of care that the need in order to develop into a well adjusted adult. Still, this is not to say that genetics dont play a part; what it comes down to is that is that it will be a lot easier for someone to develop in the right way when they receive the right nutrients, so to speak.

Two Parts

It would be inaccurate to say that what one is like as an adult is purely the result of how they were treated as a child. What is often said is that ones temperament and a large part of their intelligence is the result of their genetics.

Even so, if one is naturally aggressive, for instance, it will be a lot easier for them to deal with this side of their nature if they are given the right guidance. Instead of using this energy in a destructive manner, one will be able to channel it in the right way.

A Big Difference

One can then use this energy to become highly proficient at a certain type of sport, or they can push themselves forward in their career. The raw force that is within them is not bad, but if it is not used in the right way it will create a lot of problems.

Not only could one end up harming other human beings, they could also resort to a life of crime. Consequently, one is not going to be valuable member of their society, they will be an expensive burden.

The Other Side

There is also the chance, of course, that one would internalise how they feel. One is then not going to harm other people, but they will end up harming themselves; it will be normal for them to be depressed.

Alternatively, one could be someone who is highly sensitive, and if they are given the right care this wont have to be a problem. Through receiving the right responses from their caregivers, they wont need to feel ashamed for being this way.

Protection

This will also allow them to develop boundaries, and it is then going to be a lot easier for them to function. It wont be possible for them to handle as much stimulation as the average person, but this wont stop them from being able to accept themselves.

And through being able to stand their ground, they wont need to say yes to things that will drain them, or to be around the wrong kinds of people. Being this way is then going to be an asset as opposed to a liability.

Back to Reality

There are people who will have had their needs met on most occasions, others who had them met from time to time, and those who rarely, if ever had their needs met. It would be easy to say that the people in first category will be well adjusted adults, the ones in the second will be worse off, and those in the third will be in a very bad way.

However, it is not always this black and white, and it could be said that ones inherent nature plays a part in this. What also cant be overlooked is that there is what happens and then there is how one responds to what happens.

A Common Theme

It is not uncommon to hear about people who had everything they needed and yet they still went off the rails. What can add weight to this is when they have come from a good background.

The trouble is that even though someone may appear to have come from a good background, it doesnt mean that this is the case. At times, the image that a family presents to the world is radically different to what takes place behind the scenes.

Rising Up

What is not as common is to hear about people have been able to thrive even though they had a very challenging upbringing. When this happens, it could show that they had at least one person who showed them love, and they could be very robust.

Something within them would have pushed them forward and some of the people who they came into contact with would have supported them. They may even have had many hours of therapy or healing work.

Survival

One of the challenges of being abused as a child is that one might not even realise that they were abused. They can feel bad about themselves and have mental and emotional problems, for instance, but that doesnt mean that they will be able to connect the dots.

As a child, one would have believed that there was something wrong with them, and this response would have been seen as the only way for them to survive. The alternative would have been for them to see that there was something wrong with their caregiver/s, but this would have caused them to experience far too much pain.

Control

By believing that there was something wrong with them, it would have caused them to believe that they could change their caregiver/s behaviour. If they faced up to the fact that there is very little, if anything, they can do and that their caregiver/s is the one with the problem, it would have overwhelmed their system.

One then had to create an illusion to survive, and while this made it easier for them to survive as a child, it will cause them to suffer unnecessarily as an adult. There is then something inherently wrong with them and they will have to suffer in silence.

Stepping Back

And even if one came to see that they were abused as a child, it still doesnt mean that they will be able to reach out for support. Intellectually, they can see that they did nothing wrong, but due to the toxic shame that is within them, it can cause them to create their own prison.

This shame will have permeated their whole being, and one will fear what might happen if they were to talk about what took place when they were younger. Ultimately, one will be carrying something that doesnt belong to them.

Awareness

There is nothing wrong with who they are, but until the trauma within them is dealt with, it is going stop them from being able to truly understand this. When one works with a good therapist or a healer, they will be given the support that they need.

They will probably be talking to someone who was also abused, or has worked with people who have gone through a very similar experience. This will enable the therapist/healer to see that there is nothing inherently wrongs them.

Changing The Faces Of Our Smiles

Image source: https://techviral.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/This-App-Lets-You-Alter-Faces-And-Put-Creepy-Smiles-On-The-Faces-Of-Celebrities-696x392.png

There are a lot of people who are discontented with their look in the world nowadays. Many people's teeth may have been unpleasant for all of their lives; while others teeth may have grown unattractive due to aging. For many reasons, people have decided to look into cosmetic dentistry as the solution to their unattractive teeth.

Cosmetic dentistry could be considered a dental facelift. It aims to change a person's appearance so they look better and feel more confident. Oftentimes dentists make use of a combination of braces and porcelain veneers to make teeth look and feel better.

Porcelain veneers replace your existing tooth with a better looking one. The Porcelain Laminate Veneers are specially made porcelain wafers that can be placed over your teeth so they look new and white. They come in a variety of shades to match the color of your teeth.

Veneers are also able to correct unattractive smiles, turn around the effects of growing and aging, and make your teeth whiter. A lot of high fashion movie stars use veneers to keep that perfect smile. You can choose from impermanent and permanent veneers, depending on your unique situation. People more often than not wear the impermanent veneers as the permanent ones. When it comes to the price, veneers usually cost several thousand dollars each, depending on the amount of teeth that need modification.

Tooth whitening is another very trendy way to change the look of your teeth. There are actually two types of whitening.

1. First is the at-home whitening which uses about 10 to 20% carbamine peroxide. Impressions of the patient's mouth are made in order to make trays of the teeth. The trays are fitted in the patient's mouth and hold the carbamine peroxide gel in place on the teeth to be worn during sleep. Time: 1 to 6 weeks.

2. In-office whitening makes use of a high intensity light along with 35% hydrogen peroxide. With this, the patient's gums are protected and the whitening process can be finished in just an hour.

Cosmetic dentistry also offers the ultimate help for the "gummy" smile, a gum -lift. This process can get rid of gums in order to make teeth appear longer and improve the smile. Jagged gum lines can make the teeth appear as if they are at different levels and lengths, also making for an unappealing smile.

This procedure in cosmetic dentistry is quick, and patients feel no pain or even any ill effects. Now that you know the ways to improve your smile, the next thing you need to do is to find the best doctor in your area so that you can be on your way to a winning smile.

Change The Face of Menopause

Image source: http://blog.prohealth.com.mt/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Vichy-Blog-18th-Header-01.png

Healthy Hormones presents: The Menopause Relief Advisor Program!
What matters most is what YOU believe. And believe me when I say you can change anything, including menopause. Menopause is merely a word. A word given to the ageing process of a woman. Changing the face of menopause is achievable simply by looking at this time in a woman's life in an entirely unconventional way. Instead of focusing on "mood swings, hot flushes, depression and anxiety" perhaps this process should be viewed as a wondrous time of self-awareness and self-development. In doing so, all woman can be healthy, happy and totally fulfilled at that certain time in their life (around forty years old and over). More importantly it can all be done naturally.

My research leads me to view that many women aged 40+ are looking for answers to why they feel fat, sad, depressed, bloated and alone. The fact is though despite whatever challenges women face at this age, they all face the challenge of ageing. For some this very process is psychologically challenging. Many women find the battle confronting because they have never accepted anything less than being totally healthy and in control.

While genetics can play a major part in the overall health and wellness of a woman, the power of thought can be the catalyst that makes a difference. For a woman to age with style and dignity it is important for her to appreciate that thoughts of yesterday actually create the results of today. Relieving early, during or post menopause symptoms is no exception. All women 40 plus can be as strong and as vibrant as they want to be, because it all starts with how you think.

Morris Massey is a world renowned sociologist who identified that most people are given their beliefs they take with them through life between birth and seven years of age. He referred to this as the "imprint stage" and said it formed the beginning of what is stored deep within one's unconscious mind.

Now, think back to a time when you were a small child and remember what your mother told you. Take a moment to see how your mother lived her life. Her lifestyle habits and her language formed the basis of your beliefs today.

Let me share my own experience. My grandmother started what many referred to as the change of life at 36 years of age. I remember my mother telling me some horrific stories of how depressed, sick and unpleasant Nana was, even to the point that she was sent away for six months. I grew up with the belief that by the time I got to that age, I too could possibly suffer like my grandmother. Then one day, when I was 36 and feeling a little (actually, a lot) hormonal, I took myself off to the doctor. I had convinced myself and started convincing him, like my grandmother, I was going through the change of life. My doctor laughed me out of the surgery. Unlike my grandmother, I didn't go through menopause until I was 44, and have often wondered why she went through it so early and I, so much later.

What it showed though was I was convinced menopause was going to start the same time as my grandmother, and I too, like her would find it painful and difficult.

While thoughts create certain outcomes, it's rather difficult to imagine a single thought could balance your hormones enough so that you do not suffer hot flushes, night sweats, depression, bloating, cravings, emotional outbursts, mood swings, aches and pains, a lack of energy, low libido and concentration and a loss of strength, fitness and lean muscle mass. The human body and its intricate complexity of systems, processors and functions make you think that it is harder than what it really is to overcome these potential outcomes. Yet all it takes is a single thought to begin a transformation to balance, beauty and harmony.

The Menopause Relief Advisor Program takes a holistic approach to ageing. It provides extremely effective natural methods to help this niche market change the way they think about ageing and puts in place new strategies that can create synergy between mind and body. The Program is designed to optimize your 40+ clients performance and assist them in developing new unconscious beliefs that are consistent and congruent with their desire to enjoy the ageing process and to be free of all the ill-health symptoms linked to the dreaded big M.

It is scientifically proven that once a woman reaches 40+ the physiological changes that take place effect her physical and psychological functioning. This can affect every single woman 40+, the symptoms of ill-health vary and of course ones perception of ill-health is dependent on the woman. Values, beliefs and attitudes are challenged and must be addressed. Women need to understand what they did in their twenties and thirties is quite different to what can be done in their forties, but it must not be viewed as a negative or a restriction. Simply viewed from a different mind-set. It is important for this niche market to be immersed in the proper environment so the correct information is received. Furthermore, the ability to absorb and maintain the information is essential if good health and wellness is to be sustained. Reprogramming negative beliefs, fears and limiting decision is where we need to start.

With creative marketing in place you can become a one-stop anti-ageing clinic. Women can be nurtured and education can demonstrate how you can support the bodys autogenic, self-healing systems in removing causes of nutritional deficiencies, sedentary lifestyles, hormonal imbalances and negative belief barriers. By embracing this new awareness you can develop a higher level of understanding and be vigilant in caring for the mental, physical, emotional and social health of your clients.

The Healthy Hormones Menopause Relief Advisor Program is a personal, one-on-one package to suit each womans model of the world. It provides motivation, information, resources and support within its framework and creates positive changes in a womans life.

The core fundamentals of the Menopause Relief Advisor Program are The Seven Ps to Anti-ageing - thought, exercise, nutrition, relaxation, toxins, balance and mind-set. And because Healthy Hormones guarantees results the following 6 points form part of the philosophy of these Seven Ps to Anti-ageing. * Decide to take control * Commit to being healthy and happy * Have the discipline to take specific action * Focus on you and what you truly want * Surround yourself with people that are supportive and of like mind.

And, Know that sometimes you to do what you have to do before you get to where you want to be When you reprogram your mind with new empowering information, your mind automatically goes looking for what it needs to fulfill the desire at hand. So when a woman replaces limiting beliefs that keep her sick, sad, fat, old and depressed with the belief of I love myself and I am healthy, happy and totally fulfilled....then that is exactly what she becomes. A positive belief in the mind of a women 40+ who is experiencing the unique challenges that are known only to her has the power to change her life (and the amazing thing is that a beauty of a smile as the power to change the physiologic structure of her hormones).

Lets change the face of menopause so women everywhere can embrace this wondrous time with enthusiasm and celebrate being a woman 40+.

The Healthy Hormones programs provide all that a woman 40+ needs to age gracefully and the success of the program is due to the fact that the beauty within is defined by the wisdom that can only belong to a woman 40+. Susan Sheehan www.menopausereliefadvisor.com www.healthyhormones.com.au

Challenges That Mobile App Developers Face

Image source: http://www.eliteinfoworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Challenges-in-Enterprise-Mobile-App-Development-e1457600033129.jpg

If there is one thing that nearly every mobile app developer will agree upon, it is that creating a Mobile app is not even remotely similar to creating a desktop app. There are various breakpoints that you have to take into consideration for a powerful and user-liked Mobile application. These considerations make creating an app for a touch-based interface more complex and challenging than for a mouse-based one. 

In this article, we will look at some of these key challenges faced whether by a novice or an expert mobile app developer as well as worldwide.

1. Compatibility with Multiple Devices

Creating a successful mobile app means having to perform it equally well and fit in 3-inch screens as well as 5-inch screens. Same applies to different types of operating systems. Mobile phones mostly use the three main OS - Android, iOS, and Windows. Each of the Operating System has its own set of patterns and user interfaces that the app must adhere to till some extent. The solution is to develop your app using Responsive App Design. This design provides for the much-needed flexibility to your app and allows it to well-perform across all formats and sizes.

2. Interactive User Interface

Mobile users are more fickle and impatient than the desktop users. If your site is not responsive or too slow to load, the chances are that the user will uninstall the app and never open it again. You must also not try to fit all the items from a 15-inch desktop site to the mobile app version. Doing so will only slow down the site speed and make the user more averted to your cluttered app. Go for a minimalist approach with the focus on a simple structure and easy to use functionalities.

3. Performance v/s Battery Battle

Ah, the long-standing battle of bridging the gap between high-speed performance and the long battery life! The challenge here is to develop an app that is free of bugs, while at the same time, runs on minimal battery consumption. Performance, though the vital aspect for the success of an app, will not impress the end-users if their Smartphone battery is draining too fast by running the app. To avoid any trouble in the last stages, run the test cases for the beta version and compare the performance v/s battery charts to finalize it as per your expectations.

4. Right Marketing Approach

Extensive marketing strategy is the one weak area of mobile app developers as they have to switch roles from a designer to a marketer. There is an intense bottleneck competition going on at many platforms to push the apps to the top. A lot of apps for a similar purpose flood app stores everywhere. But people will likely go towards that app which their friends or social media circles recommend. Remember- Better promotional strategies will result in better rankings.

5. Finances and Managing Funds

You may have a great idea for the app, but without the adequate funding and capital, it becomes difficult to convert that idea into a real-life application. There are two main ways to get the money and manage your finances; you can get an investor interested in your project or you can raise funds by yourself. There are many ways of achieving that- you can apply for a loan, ask from your social circle; take part in ongoing app contents and crowdsourcing, etc.

After successfully getting the finances, another main issue is how to manage it efficiently and make the most out of it.

Conclusion

There are many factors in the recipe to become a successful mobile app developer. If you are passionate towards your goals, these challenges can serve as the stepping stones towards your successful mobile application.

Challenges facing the Courier industry and their solutions

Image source: http://developmentfrominside.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Challenge.arrow_.jpg

The courier industry is has been growing so fast in the past few years. Many firms have joined the industry, but many more others have quit. If you are planning to get in to this lucrative industry, planning is the key to it all. Like any other business, there are challenges and opportunities. You need to identify the challenges and device ways of overcoming them. Entering the market blindly will lead to your dissolution not long after start up.
This article discusses the challenges and solutions to industry issues. This will give you an overview of the industry before you set up your firm. If you have your firm established already, this information can help you position yourself as a market leader in the industry.
a) Challenges
Parcel delivery companies experience a host of problems in their service delivery. These problems often end up increasing the cost of services, time wasting and poor service delivery. The goal of any firm is to make the most amount of money in the shortest time possible. However, for most courier companies, this objective is far from being accomplished.
i. Messaging service
There exists a general uncertainty about whether a document is delivered/ collected on time every time. Most delivery companies maintain their records in delivery books or files. This manual system of managing deliveries often results to poor coordination of deliveries and collections. Manual systems, apart from wasting a lot of time, lead to weak audit trails for deliveries.
Senders of parcels need to be notified of the status of their parcels. Recipients also should be notified when their parcels are due for delivery too. Lack of delivery notifications creates uncertainty among clients regarding your services. They are likely to seek services from other companies they can trust.
ii. Administration headaches
Most companies find it very hard to effectively monitor the tasks of their messengers. It is practically impossible to monitor the messengers time because of the variables involved- traffic jams, parking, identifying delivery points, waiting time for collections, vehicle breakdowns etc.
The other administration headache that most managers in the parcel delivery industry face include finding replacement messengers when routine messengers are on leave, off sick etc. This can greatly slow down service delivery and put off customers.
Maintaining personnel records for the messengers; pay, leave, overtime can also be challenging for new firms in the industry. Managers need to find better systems to help manage the companies records.
iii. Escalating overheads
There exists both direct and indirect overheads relating to document collections and deliveries are quite phenomenal. Some of those costs include: Salaries for messengers and drivers used in document collection and deliveries, direct transport costs for motor vehicles, fuel, insurance, repairs, taxis, postage costs for posting of letters within Nairobi.
Other overhead costs include the costs for messengers running personal errands for employees delivering mail, payment for utilities, delivery and collection of personal items, time costs for messengers waiting to collect documents or submit documents especially at government offices, embassies (for visas), etc. Overtime costs for deliveries after office hours.
b) The Solution
The above challenges should not put you off or make you want to quit the industry. There is hope. It all lies in technology. Finding the right technology and adopting it to customize your services will give you a greater step ahead in the industry.

Challenges Facing Effective Early Childhood Development Education in Kenya

Image source: http://blogs.worldbank.org/education/files/education/indonesiaphoto.jpg

Despite the growing importance of Early Childhood Education, there are number of challenges that have continued to pull down its effective implementation in developing countries. This paper briefly explores some key factors in Kenya's context. These include socio-economic factor, financial constraint, high pupil-teacher ratio and inadequate teaching and learning resources. Socio- economic factor. Malnutrition and ill-health are factors associated with the socio-economic factor. These factors can significantly damage the cognitive processing ability of children. Children whose processing capacity is impacted by ill-health and malnutrition may require more hours of instruction to learn various skills.

As such, implementation of early childhood education may prove critical especially in low income countries (van de Linde, 2005). Socio-economic differences affecting effective implementation of ECDE also cut across regions, with some being labeled 'marginalized' or arid and Semi Arid Lands (ASAL). Regional disparities have significant role in facilitating access to early childhood care and education, where enrollment levels in rural and marginalized areas are low in comparison to those in the urban areas. Children from the marginalized communities in rural Arid and Semi Arid Lands (ASAL) suffer from lack of access to early childhood education. One typical example is nomadic Maasai community, which is one of the communities experiencing the least access to early childhood education and care because of way of life and regional disparities.

Financial Constraint

Financial constraints have continued to have an impact on the effective implementation of early childhood education in Kenya. This could be attributed to Kenya's debt-situation. At macro level, the country has suffered from the heavy debt burden following its pursuit on the World Bank and International Monetary Fund fiscal policies such as the Structural Adjustment Programs (SAPs). It is reported that these debt-servicing programs is partly responsible for significant reduction in government funding for subsidized education, health care and school related expenses. The result has been that families bear more responsibilities in implementation of early childhood education programmers (Kipkorir & Njenga, 1993). Parents and the school community have to meet educational costs in terms of providing teaching and learning resources, paying teachers among other costs. This has continued to have a negative impact on the quality of Early Childhood Education in Kenya.

High Teacher -Child Ratio

Teacher child ratio has been a subject of much attention among researchers in relation to the factors facing teaching and learning process. Early childhood development education has not been left out. Research shows that teacher child ratio has continued to grow. On average, teacher child ratio for both 3-5 years old children and 6-8 years olds still remains critical. Teachers are not comfortable with the increasing number of children in their classes they handle (Dodge & Colker, 1992). Still with these high ratios, ECDE teachers are poorly remunerated and under the mercy of parents (most of whom have little or nothing to give).

Inadequate facilities and teaching and learning resources

Many ECDE centers lack adequate teaching and learning resource and facilities suitable for ECDE in their learning environment. These include lack of properly ventilated classrooms, furniture suitable for children, kitchen, safe clean water, play ground, toilets, play material and teaching and learning resources like books (International Association for the Education of Young Children, 1991).Lack of such resources negatively affects effective implementation of ECDE curriculum bearing in mind that creation of a sustainable learning environment helps deprived children to improve their academic performance (Offenheiser & Holcombe, 2003).

Conclusion

Investment in childhood development remains a noble cause not only for parents but also governments and development partners. This is mainly based on its very short and long term benefits in terms of improving school performance, child health conditions; promoting a long-term reduction of marginalization and social equality, ensuring that children born in relative poverty have the opportunity to reach their maximum physical, economic and social development potential. Thus, all stakeholders in education should embrace a participatory approach in trying to address the challenges facing Early Childhood Education in developing countries like Kenya. Sound policies should not only be formulated but effectively implemented so as to address access, quality, and equity issues. Such policies should also take keen interest in adequate resource allocation to meet the high demands of Early Childhood Development Education.

Ceramide Tablets A Remedy For Dry Skin

Image source: https://www.stanpol.co.uk/image/cache/catalog/matrix-biolage-hydrasource-cera-repair-10x10ml-600x600.jpg

Despite taking a perfectly balanced diet there is a possibility for you to get dry skin. When you get dry skin you feel like scratching the affected area and the skin loses its natural oily nature. When you consult a skin specialist the most probable treatment prescribed is some kind of ointment or a cream that will provide you with relief. The biggest problem you need to face when you apply these creams is the recurrence of the condition after some time. If you are facing such a situation the best remedy you could think of is ceramide tablets. Vegan ceramides are readily available in online stores.

Extensive research has been conducted on dry skin during the recent past. With this research it has been proven that taking ceramide orally is more effective than the use of ointments and creams that carry the same substance. The reason is that when you take ceramide tablets orally the solution you get for your skin condition is a permanent one but with creams applied externally you will get only a temporary solution. There is no way you could get allergies when you use vegan ceramides as they are of vegetable origin and extracted from sweet potatoes.

Relief brought about by ceramide tablets is the same for both children and adults. Therefore, even if your kid has dry skin you could use it on him safely. Also, you never need to worry if he will get any side effects. If he is able to eat sweet potatoes he will also be able to take vegan ceramides without any side effect. When he is given this readily available supplement he will get permanent relief from his skin condition. In case you want to be cautious you could talk to your doctor before starting treatment on your kid.

One thing you need to remember when you take ceramide tablets is that unlike with creams that offer quick temporary relief the relief brought about by them will not come immediately as their good effects will take time to manifest. You must take vegan ceramides for a minimum of one month to notice improvement for your skin condition. However, when you get relief it will be a permanent one. Since it is a harmless vegetable extract you could continue taking this supplement as long as you want. You will be surprised as relief for your skin condition that comes within one month becomes a permanent solution.

A healthy skin is an asset for anyone as your good looks will depend on how healthy your skin is. In case you get a skin ailment you never need to be crestfallen. Most often, the root cause for skin conditions is dry skin. Treatment for dry skin is readily available these days. Also, you never need to visit the doctors office and waste your time. Instead, walk into the nearest drug store, buy a bottle of ceramide tablets and start treatment on your own. You will make sure that permanent relief for you will be just one month away.

Capital Formation and Economic Development

Image source: https://image.slidesharecdn.com/humancapitaldevelopmentandeconomicgrowthinnigeria-131218235459-phpapp02/95/human-capital-development-and-economic-growth-in-nigeria-3-638.jpg?cb=1387412539

Almost all economists lay emphasis on capital formation as the major determinant of economic growth. The meaning of capital formation is that society does not apply the whole of its current productive activity to the needs and desires of immediate consumption, but directs a part of it to the making of capital goods: tools and instruments, machines and transport facilities, plant and equipment, all the various forms of real capital that can so greatly increase the efficacy of productive effort. The essence of the process then, is the diversion of a part of society's currently available resources to the purpose of increasing the stock of capital goods so as to make possible an expansion of consumable output in the future. A proper definition must include both material and human capital. Capital formation consists of both tangible goods like plants, tools and machinery and intangible goods like high standards of education, health, scientific tradition and research". According to another school of thoughts, domestic capital formation would include not only additions to constructions, equipment and inventories within the country, but also other expenditure, except those necessary to sustain output at existing levels. It would include outlays on education, recreation and material luxuries that contribute to the greater health and productivity of individuals and all expenditures by society that serve to raise the morale of employed population". Thus the term capital formation covers material as well as human capital.

Capital formation (or accumulation) is regarded as one of the important and principal factors in economic development. The vicious circles of poverty in underdeveloped countries can be broken through capital formation. Due to low levels of income in such countries, demand, production and investment are deficient. This results in the deficiency of capital goods which can be removed by capital formation.

The supplies, of machines, equipment and tools increase. The scale of production expands. Social and economic overheads are created. It is capital formation that leads to the fuller utilization of available resources. Thus capital formation leads lo increase in the size of rational output, income and employment thereby solving the problems of inflation and balance of payment; and making the economy free from the burden of foreign debit. We discuss below the importance of capital formation in detail. The main purpose of economic development is to build capital equipment on a sufficient scale to increase productivity in agriculture, mining, plantations and industry. Capital is also required to construct schools, hospitals, roads, railways, etc. In fine, the essence of economic development is the creation of economic and social overhead capital. This is possible only if there is a rapid late of capital formation in the country, that is, if a smaller proportion of the community's current income or output is devoted to consumption and the rest is saved and invested in capital equipment. The central problem in the theory of economic development is the process of raising domestic saving and investment from 4-5 percent to 12-15 percent of national income.

Investment in capital equipment not only increases production but also employment opportunities. Capital formation leads to technical progress which helps realize the economies of large-scale production and increases specialization. It provides machines, tools and equipment for the growing labor force. Thus capital formation also benefits labor.

Capital formation leads to the expansion of market. It is capital formation which helps remove market imperfections by the creation of economic and social overhead capital, and thus breaks the vicious circles of poverty both from the demand side and the supply side. Further, capital formation makes development possibly even with increasing population. In overpopulated underdeveloped countries the increase in per capita output is related to the increase in capital-labor ratio. But countries aiming at raising the capital-labor ratio have to face two problems. First, the capital-labor ratio falls with increase, in population so that large net investment is needed to overcome the diminution of capital-labor ratio. Second, when population is increasing rapidly, it becomes difficult to have sufficient savings for the required quantity of investment, reason being that a low per capita income keeps the propensity to save at a low level in such a country. The only solution to these problems is a rapid rate of capital formation.

Underdeveloped countries are faced with the problem of balance of payments because they mostly export primary products like raw-materials and agricultural products, and import almost all types of manufactured, semi-manufactured and capital goods. Domestic capital formation is one of the important solutions to this problem of adverse balance of payments. By establishing import-substitution industries, the imports of manufactured and semi-manufactured goods are reduced. On the other hand, with the increasing production of all types of consumer and capital goods the composition of exports changes. Along with agricultural products and industrial raw materials, the exports of manufactured articles also start. Thus capital formation helps in solving the problems of balance of payments.

A rapid rate of capital formation gradually dispenses with the need for foreign aid. In fact, capital formation helps in making a country self-sufficient and reduces the burden of foreign debt. When a country borrows from foreign countries for long periods, it imposes a heavy burden on the future generations. With every loan the debt charges increase day by day which can only be repaid by levying more or/and higher taxes. The burden of taxes increases and money flows out of the country in the form of debt repayments. Therefore, it is capital formation that brings freedom from foreign aid, reduces the burden of foreign debt and makes the country self-sufficient.

The strains of inflationary pressure on a developing economy can be removed to a considerable extent by increased capital formation. The output of agricultural products and manufactured consumer goods tends to increase with a rise in the tale of capital formation. On the other hand, when income increases with capital formation, it raises the demand for goods. In the short run, it is not possible to match this increased demand by increase in supply and this results in the development of inflationary pressure in the economy. It is, however, a steady rise in the rate of capital formation in the long-run that augments the supply of goods, controls inflation and brings stability in the economy.

Capital formation also influences the economic welfare of a country. It helps in meeting all the requirements of an increasing population in a developing economy. When capital formation leads to the proper exploitation of natural resources and the establishment of different types of industries, Levels of income increase and the varied wants of the people are satisfied. They consume a variety of commodities, their standard of living rises and their economic welfare increases.

Lastly, an increase in the rate of capital formation raises the level of national income. The process of capital formation helps in raising national output which in turn raises the rate and level of national income. Thus the rise in the rate and the level of national income depends on the increase in the rate of capital formation. Thus capital formation is the principal solution to the complex problems of underdeveloped countries, and is the main key to economic development.

Can Toothpaste Help Get Rid of Acne

Image source: http://alldaychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Combat-Acne-with-Toothpaste.jpg

Home remedies for acne come in all flavors of weird. There's the egg yolk mask, handyman soap scrub, lidocaine rub and even a urine toner. And like any experimental treatment, homemade treatments may work sheerly because of the placebo effect. Yet, does toothpaste posses any properties that support its usage as an acne treatment?

The first place to begin answering this question is to consider the ingredients in common toothpastes and what effect they have on the skin.

Fluoride:

In almost any tube of toothpaste you'll find sodium monoflurorophosphate, or simply put, some chemical variety of fluoride. Fluoride stops tooth cavities. But in the skin, fluoride typically causes more damage that it corrects. For example, medicals studies have reported that large does of fluoride could cause systemic poisoning. Though the amount of fluoride in tooth paste is less than one percent you may not want predispose yourself to risk.

If toothpaste does help acne prone skin, it's most likely not due to the fluoride because this chemical can irritate or burn the skin and sometimes provoke skin allergies.

Glycerin, sorbitol and alumina:

Skimming down the list of toothpaste ingredients, we arrive at agents with the potential to delete zits like hydrated silica, sorbitol, alumina and glycerin. Silica and types of aluminum are used to treat acne via dermabrasive products. However, in the toothpaste, they are too fine to profoundly exfoliate the skin. Sorbitol is a flavoring agent while glycerin just makes the toothpaste feel better in your mouth.

Moving on, we come to sodium lauryl sulfate, or the toothpaste bubble maker. You don't need suds to get rid of zits. Next!

Getting rid of calcium:

Now we encounter sodium pyrophosphate, or some relative of this chemical resting in our toothpaste. Sodium pyrophosphate limits tartar deposits on the teeth by removing calcium and magnesium from saliva. It is with this calcium evicting phosphate that we may find a potential acne curative.

Skin levels of calcium directly influence skin cell growth and differentiation. One of the traits of acne includes improper shedding of the skin or improper skin cell separation. And according to research done by Chia-Ling L. Tu and colleagues, too much calcium in the epidermis skin causes more hair follicles to grow, makes the skin more susceptible to outside attacks and increases cell growth.

None of these circumstances help contain acne so taking away a little calcium from acne prone skin may eliminate a cluster of zits. So we allot a point to pyrophosphate as a possible acne taming agent.

Try these ingredients in a better product and they will help with acne:

Rounding out the toothpaste ingredients are minimal amounts of titanium dioxide and or baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). As far as the skin is concerned, these two agents are wonderful exfoliators, yet in some toothpastes, their presence may prove too small to positively affect the skin.

These guys may also absorb excess facial oils which will definitely help bumpy skin heal faster. As predominant skin care ingredients, titanium dioxide and baking soda sever as wonderful dermbrasion agents, so you may want to try them in this form.

In short. proving whether or not your toothpaste will get rid of acne would require some costly research and you would still have to face the ominous doubt cast by the placebo effect. Toothpaste does contain ingredients with the potential to control acne like pyrophosphates that improve skin cell shedding, and skin exfoliators like titanium dioxide and baking soda.

The only problem is, toothpaste is formulated to treat and prevent cavities, not pimples. You really can't fully benefit from toothpaste's zit fighting agents because they are not concentrated enough. Instead, use acne products that contain right proportions of bump fighting ingredients, whether you buy them at the drug store or make them at home.
