11 Home Remedies For Fair Skin
Though tanned looks and contouring are taking over the makeup trends, but craving for fairer skin tones is never an old story. Some girls are blessed with a fair skin tones and some are not. I personally feel that one should always take pride in oneself and do not compare but this does not mean that one cannot try to change things that are in hand and achieve the desires of oneself.
So if you are someone who too have a secret craving of a fairer skin tone but have given up after trying all cosmetic measures, today's article is absolutely for you.
Try these tips to achieve a fairer skin and at the same time have a healthier skin:
Honey is one common and an old stuff for skin care and this too works for achieving a fairer skin. There is nothing much that you need to do, simply take a teaspoon of honey and massage your face with it for a while, let it be on face for 10 minutes before you wash off. Repeat this twice a day and see amazing results within a couple of weeks.
Rose water
This is not a new find. Rose water is well known for its skin lightening properties. I would suggest to use homemade rose water rather than that available commercially. With your homemade rose water wash your face and also apply it regularly on face as a toner.
This will not only give you a fair complexion but also give you natural pinky blushing cheeks.
Do not be surprised to see this fruit in this list. While this yummy fruit is amazing for your health, it too works well for your skin. It is quite a popular fruit that helps in tan removal, but it too works effectively in lightening skin.
Take some mashed papaya and apply it on face. Leave it on for 30 minutes and the rinse off. This process needs to be done thrice a week for almost two months to see some evident results.
Massaging regularly on a daily basis with curd gives a fairer skin. This will also remove tan and at the same time cleanse your face really well.
Basil also known as Tulsi, is a sacred plant according to Hindu Mythology. Tulsi is well known for its medicinal properties and little is known about its role in beauty care.
Grind some tulsi leaves and apply them in face directly without mixing it with anything. Allow it to sit on face for some 5 minutes before you wash off with lukewarm water.
Doing so will not only lighten skin tone but also cure facial skin problems.
Lemon juice is a great bleaching agent and can work wonders for your skin. Apply some freshly squeezed lemon juice on your face daily. Evident results will be there in 15-20 days of regular usage.
Simply mix in turmeric in your regular face packs and notice fairer skin over a month's period.
Cucumber is a great calmer. Ever wondered how does cucumber works for dark under eyes? Just as it works in lightening dark under eyes, it too works nicely for lightening skin tones and removing dark spots.
Grind a cucumber and apply it on face as a face mask. Leave for 20-30 minutes and wash off.
Coconut Water
Just as you relish the goodness of coconut water, splash some on your face too.
Wash your face regularly with coconut water or apply it regularly just as a lotion on your face to have a fairer skin.
Tomato Juice
Like lemon, tomato too has great skin lightening properties. Simply cut a tomato into two halves. Now take one halve of the tomato and rub it on face for 10-15 minutes and let it sit for another 15 minutes. Now wash off.
Potato too works well in getting a fairer skin, though it takes a bit longer than the other tips mentioned here. You can apply potato juice or grated potato as a face mask to achieve fairer skin.
These were some chemical free home remedies that over the years have proven their ability of making skin fair.
Have you used any of these home remedies for skin lightening?

Harry S. Truman: 33rd President of the United StatesWed, 08 May 2019 08:00:00 PermalinkPresident Harry S. Truman was not always a popular president. Rather like Donald Trump in the Trump/Clinton Election of 2016, when Truman ran for reelection, most predicted a loss for him. The mainstream media had written him off, and polls inaccurately portrayed his chances. He shocked the country when he managed to pull off the victory on election day. His work as both a war time and peace time president sets him apart from many leaders who can only accomplish one leadership style. Read More

Four Writers To Explore on Cinco de MayoSun, 05 May 2019 08:00:00 PermalinkWhile often confused in America for Mexican Independence Day, Cinco de Mayo is actually the anniversary of the Battle of Puebla and Mexico's victory against the French. As the name implies, it is celebrated annually on May 5th. In Mexico, it is not observed as a national holiday, though schools are closed on that day and it's often celebrated with parades and historical enactments. The holiday is actually celebrated more outside of Mexico than it is in the country itself. In the United States in particular, Cinco de Mayo has taken on a life of its own and has become Read More

His motivation was to ensure his children had the best academic opportunities provided for them.

The Kupfer Bibel and an Epic Struggle for the Danish CrownThu, 18 Apr 2019 08:00:00 PermalinkRare book sellers and collectors often talk about the provenance of a book, that is, it's chain of ownership. Knowing a book's provenance offers practical benefits, such as ensuring that a book isn't stolen and lending credibility to a volume's inscription. But exploring a book's provenance also has another benefit: it can unlock fascinating stories connected with the book itself, enriching our understanding of—and appreciation for—the book as an object with its own special history. One example of a book with fascinating provenance is our edition of the Kupfer-Bibel. Read More

Outside of his work as a professional chess player, Kasparov was vocal about his support for democratic and market reforms and the dissolution of the Read More

Do You Know Where Your Signed Books Come From?Tue, 09 Apr 2019 08:00:00 PermalinkWhen one thinks of fraud, the first cases that come to mind may be corrupt money managers (à la Bernard Madoff) or bankers. Businesses like Enron and WorldCom may likewise ring a bell, as well. Why are we talking about fraud on a blog about books, though? Well, sadly the book buying and selling business has not escaped instances of fraud, either. In 2012, Allan Formhals was found guilty of ten counts of fraud. But he wasn't an unscrupulous banker, he was an antiques dealer who sold books on the internet. Formhals was convicted of forging signatures in books and purveying them Read More

There was New Line's Lord of the Rings (2001-2003) adaptions, HBO's Game of Thrones (2011-2019) series, New Line's subsequent Hobbit (2012-2014) trilogy, and now, as of a blockbuster 2017 deal, Amazon Studios will be producing at least five seasons worth of television based on Tolkien's iconic mythos and characters—a show that they, like those that have gone before them, hope will be the one series to rule them all. In this regard, it sometimes feels like these Read More
John Fowles, A Solitary Non-ConformistSun, 31 Mar 2019 08:00:00 Permalink"What interests me about novelists as a species is the obsessiveness of the activity, the fact that novelists have to go on writing. I think that probably must come from a sense of the irrecoverable. In every novelist's life there is some more acute sense of loss than with other people, and I suppose I must have felt that. I didn't realize it, I suppose, till the last ten or fifteen years. In fact you have to write novels to begin to understand this. There's a kind of backwardness in the novel…an attempt to get back to a lost world." Read More
The Fascinating Life and Art of Vincent van GoghSat, 30 Mar 2019 08:00:00 PermalinkArt is and does many things. It chronicles history, shows culture, and provides insight into artists. Despite the vast number of artists, there are only a few who hold consumers' attention long after their death. Included with artists like Michelangelo and da Vinci, is Vincent van Gogh. From novels like Lust for Life to an episode of Doctor Who, the general masses remain fascinated with the man who is known for such talent and for cutting off his own ear. Read More
The Magical Art of Fly FishingWed, 27 Mar 2019 08:00:00 PermalinkFew activities offer the sport and serenity of fishing. That unlikely combination has made fishing a popular pastime for people of all ages and backgrounds. Presidents Jimmy Carter and Herbert Hoover did it. So did literary giant Ernest Hemingway. Fly fishing elevates this rather humble sport to a true art form. A fly fisherman must develop a rhythm and style for his cast, and then practice unending patience. That's why Izaac Walton called fly fishing "The Contemplative Man's Recreation." Read More
Death and Desire: A Tennessee Williams Round-UpTue, 26 Mar 2019 08:00:00 PermalinkA jack of many literary trades, Tennessee Williams is best known as one of the most prominent playwrights in twentieth century America. His play, A Streetcar Named Desire, sits alongside Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman on the top tier of twentieth century theatrical output. Williams wasn't discovered until his 30s when the success of The Glass Menagerie in New York rocketed him into fame. He followed up this play and became a household name in the late 1940s and early 1950s thanks to his best work, including Streetcar (1947) and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955). Many of Williams plays were adapted, adding to his notoriety. Read More
Collecting the Works of James PattersonFri, 22 Mar 2019 08:00:00 PermalinkJames Patterson is nothing if not a producer. His literary output is astounding, and the publishing schedule he sticks to is rigorous one (we've written more about his methods here). Patterson began his career in journalism. An avid reader, eventually he was turned on to the suspense and thriller genre through authors like William Peter Blatty and Frederick Forsyth. Thinking he could take a stab at writing such books, Patterson set about writing his first novel, The Thomas Berryman Number. After much rejection, Little Brown Books picked up Patterson's debut book. Read More

Free of All That Noise: A Philip Roth Round-UpTue, 19 Mar 2019 08:00:00 Permalink"Everybody else is working to change, persuade, tempt and control them. The best readers come to fiction to be free of all that noise." ~Philip Roth in Conversations with Philip Roth Philip Roth was one of the great, American literary geniuses of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Through his works, he explored the idea of self. He also highlighted the social and political climate of the time in which he wrote, often with satire and his particular brand of literary panache. When Roth died in 2018, he had been awarded two National Book Awards for Fiction, two National Book Critics Circle awards, three PEN/Faulkner awards, Read More

How to Use a Package Statement in Java
The package statement identifies the package that a Java program belongs to. If your program does not include a package statement, the program belongs to the default package, which is simply a package that has no name.
This is acceptable for short programs written for testing purposes. But if you plan to distribute your program, you should create a package for the program and use a package statement in all of the program's source files to identify the package.
The syntax of the package statement is simple:
package package-name;
Package-name refers to the name of the package that the program should be added to. You can use any name you wish, but it's best to follow the established convention of transposing your Internet domain name (if you have one). (Transposing your domain name ensures that your package names are unique.)
Notice that package names are in lowercase letters. That's not an absolute requirement, but it's a Java convention that you ought to stick to.
You can add additional levels beyond the domain name if you want. For example, you can put your utility classes in a package named com.lowewriter.util. Any class that you want to include in this package must include the following statement:
package com.lowewriter.util;
After you decide on a package name, you can create a folder structure to hold the classes for the package. This structure should start with a folder you will use as the root for all of your Java classes. You should create a directory, such as c:javaclasses.
Then, within the class root folder, create folders and subfolders that correspond to the parts of your package name. For example, for a package named com.lowewriter.util, create a folder named com, then within that folder create another folder named lowewriter. Finally, in the lowewriter folder, create a folder named util.

Put It in Writing
North Miami's Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), and the City of North Miami, Floridaare in the middle of dispute. To be fair, disputes involving creative businesses are nothing new (I wrote about a couple of doozies in a previous blog post), but the disagreement between MOCA and North Miami is very much out of the ordinary in that the dispute includes something so basic as who actually owns MOCA's collection. Both MOCA's board and the City of North Miami claim that they own MOCA's collection.
How could a museum possibly be involved in a dispute about something as fundamental as the ownership of its collection? The answer, unfortunately, is that the agreement between MOCA and the City of North Miami appears to have not clearly defined what party owned the collection.
It is common thinking that contracts are really only of use when there's a dispute between parties. That's mostly true. The regrettable truth, however, is it is often very easy to avoid spending the time required to develop and execute a detailed, written contract when entering into a new venture. The future can look rosy as a new business or relationship gets underway. Visions of a beneficial business relationship can abound, and the efforts required to get put a detailed contract in place can seem like a buzz-kill at least, and counterproductive, at worst.
The truth is that the work required to put a proper contract in place is only wasted when the rosy future becomes rosy reality. In other words, unless you've got a perfectly functioning crystal ball to predict only a happy future, it's probably best for all parties to expend the effort needed to put the details of your agreement with another party in writing.
The dispute between MOCA and North Miami has been reduced to mud-slinging in the press, including claims of racism, mismanagement, and breach of agreement. Such acrimony does nobody any good, including the arts community as a whole, so please, when entering into a large or long-term agreement, take the time to enter into a contract which all parties agree adequately and accurately describes what was agreed to when you shook hands.
wonderful information, that I have seen. and let me tell you, your website gives the best and the most interesting

Data Storage
No matter your data objective, nor the kinds of data you collect, data storage should be considered prior to collecting your data. Where will you store your data, how will you share your data, and how will you ensure the data are available for future use are all considerations for proper data storage. Relatively small data sets can be easily managed in excel spreadsheets, larger ones may require databases to manage multiple years and data types. The Colorado Data Sharing Network stores all kinds of data no matter what parameter and can accommodate thousands and thousands of records form an organization. Whatever your storage need is, it is of great importance that you consider future data users. Proper internal documentation of naming conventions, data storage locations, storage strategy are all contained in procedure documents such as Information Management Plans (IMAP) or Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP).
Data Reporting
Finally!!! You have identified data objectives, collected data, ensured process for QA/QC and data management and are now ready to report your findings. Prior to writing up your data and turning it into useful information, revisit your data objectives (hotlink this to the objectives page) and the audience that you wanted to reach in the first place. With this audience in mind, create your reports that speak to that audience. Reports intending to affect regulation should be written to a technical level sufficient to meet the standards of the agency with which you are working. Watershed groups may create reports to influence fundraisers that translate the scientific analysis into common terms and include multiple photographs to influence their giving. Consider the amount of data to share; it is easy to overwhelm with pages of graphs and tables, be selective of how you report the information so that your message comes across clean and easy to read. Lastly, honesty is the best policy. Should your data be inconclusive, or your QA program identified issues in your data set, be clear and open with your reader. Outliers, problem data sets and incomplete data sets should be retained, but appropriately qualified with a rationale of why the data are suspect. Suspect data may still have value and should not be deleted. Always keep in mind that others may use your findings and data for their own work, therefore provide all the information (good and bad) associated with your data set.

Printed at http://www.troyrecord.com/opinion/20150412/letters-to-the-editor-april-12
I highly disagree with "Charlie's Angle: Skidmore decision best of a bad situation" in the March 31 edition of The Record. I see an institution which acted on public pressure and not on facts. Indeed, I see in Kraebel's writing a sexual bias towards men which fosters a "believe the woman, blame the man, women are victims and men perpetrators", attitude which makes handling of these incidents nothing more than a lynch mob which undermines our justice systems, as occurred at Skidmore.
I want to say right up front that I don't know if it is Kiefer or the "man" who is telling the truth in the matter of an alleged sexual assault on the Skidmore campus, I have no inside information into the facts and circumstances of that one incident. But what I do know, contrary to the photo of Kiefer holding up her hands with one finger on one hand and five on the other in a Saratogian article, in reference to the "one in five" statistic referenced for sexual assault on campus, is that one in five is a lie.
The one in five statistic references one study of sexual assault on campuses which has been reputed as highly flawed and inaccurate. Not only did the study look at only two campuses it broadly categorized sexual incidents in which the parties regretted it the next day as "rape". Further the study failed to look at both false allegations and also male victims of sexual assault. Even though the study is flawed it has been used by politicians, such as our own Senator Kirsten Gillibrand.
It is written into sexual assault legislation that incapacitation by alcohol or drugs can remove a person's ability to consent. It is also written that incapacitation by alcohol can not be used as a defense against charges of sexual abuse. This works fine when we apply the sexual bias that it is men who assault women but we now know through multiple studies that men also report many unwanted sexual encounters perpetrated by women. Further, the sexual bias inherent in this view was set aside many years ago. So how do we treat a couple who get incapacitated together, are equally unable to consent to sex, have an encounter and both regret the incident the next day? Apply sexual bias, label the man the perpetrator, run him into a one-sided campus system which will then bend to public pressure?
The campus judicial system, like most judicial systems, works on a "preponderance of evidence", meaning that you only need 51 percent proof to find one way or the other. But, as Kraebel stated, often these cases fall down to one person's word against the other. As we know, it is common practice for college attendees to drink and take intoxicants and engage in sex. Absent independent witnesses, it is impossible to determine if one person or the other is telling the truth. And what they are reviewing is not whether there was sexual assault, but rather did the conduct violate the school's misconduct policy. As such, sexual bias that holds men as perpetrators and women as victims would make it so his word against hers was enough to find he violated the policy by having sex with her while she was incapacitated by alcohol. Kraebel's doubts that Skidmore would have suspended him without evidence fails to take into account the difference in campus judicial and criminal proceedings.
Even though the criminal system requires proof beyond a shadow of a doubt to convict, to charge a person only requires that reasonable cause exist that a person committed a crime. Thus, the lack of arrest or presentation to the grand jury by the DA's office is an indication that there was in fact no evidence of a crime. I suspect the police and DA remain silent fearing that they too will fall prey to the lynch mob which would publicly shame any not seeing things their way. We only need to go back to the Duke lacrosse team fiasco of persecution by the DA based upon false allegations to see that this in fact occurs.
Kraebel speaks to his biases when he talks of having experience in this area, but having one female relative victimized does not correlate to a fact that all victims are female. However, this bias is evident when he states that these occurrences are OK if "efforts prevent one woman from enduring what she has," thus ignoring male victims, false allegations and the protections which are in place to protect innocent people from being charged. I suspect it is these biases which has the paper printing the "one in five lie" without fact checking, or looking for an opposing opinion.
Affirmative consent on college campuses, a cause taken up by Governor Cuomo and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, are based upon the one in five lie. Gillibrand used a story in Rolling Stone about a fraternity gang rape at the University of Virginia and a "rape culture at UVA" to support affirmative consent and "one in five." The problem was that the story fell apart under scrutiny by the Washington Post and other media outlets and an investigation by the Charlottesville Police resulting in a finding of "no evidence" to support the allegations. It has been reported that the story was made up, complete with a fictional perpetrator and faked e-mails and text messages so the "victim" could curry favor with a romantic interest to whom she reported the "incident".
Even in the face of an obviously false story with more holes than Swiss cheese, Gillibrand stated we shouldn't resort to "victim blaming" and that sanctions against her would be "inappropriate". I do agree with Kraebel on one thing he said, that he "knows how hard it is for victims to recover." Just ask the Duke lacrosse team or the UVA fraternity, or maybe the "Skidmore man" how hard it is to recover from the lynching and persecution caused by false allegations. I would ask Gillibrand how it is that ignoring false allegations and perjury isn't "victim blaming?"
I'll close stating, I don't know who is telling the truth, but neither do Gillibrand, Kraebel or any of the others who gathered for the protest or covered the incident in the media. The difference is, I didn't base my assumptions on flawed policies based upon junk science and then run a lynch mob, hanging due process, justice, and the Constitutional right to be treated innocent until PROVEN guilty.

Organic chemists findings provide a new way to form compounds such as rubber
|(Nanowerk News) In the not-so-distant future, plastics could be more durable and rubbers could be more well rubbery thanks to a novel new approach to polymer synthesis discovered by Texas Tech University organic chemists.
|In research slated for publication in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, the scientists demonstrated what principal investigator Michael Mayer refers to as an elegant and simple process for ultimately creating a slip-linked pulley system of molecules that could be used to create tougher and more elastic synthetic materials ("Polypseudorotaxanes via Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerizations of [2]Catenanes").
|No one has ever reported making polymers in this way, said Mayer, an assistant professor of organic chemistry in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. It is a fundamentally new, stripped-back approach to the synthesis of this class of polymeric materials.
|Mayers findings provide a new way to form unusually complex polymers-compounds such as rubber formed from clusters of atoms that are chemically chained together.
|Current methods for creating polymer networks rely on chemical reactions to cross-link the large molecules. However, when the resulting materials come under stress, Mayer said, the cross-links, which are often times the weakest links, can break resulting in failure of the material.
|Mayer and his team, led by senior graduate student Songsu Kang, tried a different approach, beginning with molecules in the form of two interlocked rings much like the rings used by magicians in the so-called magic ring trick.
|Their resulting materials have rings that can literally slide along the polymer chains, providing anchor points for cross-linking that can move when the materials are mechanically strained.
|Mayer said this proof-of-concept research could someday be used to create pliable networks of polymers, and said his design fits with the theoretical models used by polymer physicists.
|Their theoretical models show polymers as cross-inked by such rings, he said. Now we actually have a well-defined method to prepare materials that fit these descriptions.
