I work as a clerical assistant in a pediatric dental office, and I am commonly surprised by the number of children who are scared of the dentist. Many kids think that cleanings will be painful, and they believe they will be scolded for eating sugary foods. Children are also extremely frightful of the noises made by the water spraying tools and the suction devices. As adults, we know that dental cleanings are easy and free of pain. We need to impart this knowledge to our children so they know not to fear the dentist. I have provided blogs that will help you speak with your child about dental care. Good communication, trips to your own dentist, and online videos can assist you. So will good brushing techniques that will make your child proud to see the dentist. Enjoy my articles so you can help your child build oral care confidence.
Alfred Kelley
To say people put off going to the dentist is one very obvious understatement. Type in "I haven't been to the dentist in X years" in any search engine. The results will reveal scores of message board, blog, and social media posts from people noting they have not been seated in a dentist's chair for 5, 10, 15, or even 20 years. Sadly, these people are not only neglecting their teeth, they are missing out on an opportunity to learn about serious health problems a dentist checks for during the session.
In addition to periodontal disease, a dentist may also look for signs of diabetes and pre-diabetes in patients. Based on recent statistics, 20% of dental patients who went through the screenings were discovered to have a diabetes-related condition. Had they not gone through the screening, the condition could have remained undetected for a much longer time. Diabetes can be life-threatening if not treated. The person who is afraid of going to the dentist for years and years could end up slipping into a totally avoidable diabetic coma.
Depending upon the location of the cancer, early detection yields five-year survival rates ranging from 75% - 93%. Once the cancer progresses from the early local stage to the regional or distant one, the chance of survival diminishes significantly. Again, those who avoid seeing the dentist for many years are taking great risks with their health.
Pregnant women who suffer from serious gum infections put their infant at risk for premature birth and other serious problems. This is due to the spread of bacteria from the mouth and gums to other organs.
Governed by Misplaced Fear
Even in the face of all these health risks, why do so many people opt not to undergo any dental services? Misplaced fear about embarrassment over what the dentist might say is a common culprit. Calming fears through the belief that, as long as the problem is "out of sight, out of mind", compounds troubles since this further delays treatment.
Look for Inspiration
Are you someone currently fearful about seeing a dentist? Perhaps you should watch an online video or read a magazine account of some who made the decision to see a dentist, surprisingly discovered a serious health issue, and overcome the condition. Tales such as these help you overcome fear because they reveal an overlooked truth about dental screenings: to help the patients overcome any problems that may be affecting their dental and/or overall health. Contact a local dentist, like Dr. Henry A Cathey, with any questions about your dental health.

A correct to education has been recognized by some governments, like at the global level: Post 13 of the United Nations ' 1966 International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights recognizes a universal right to education. Secondary education in the United States did not emerge until 1910, with the rise of huge corporations and advancing technologies in factories, which necessary skilled workers In order to meet this new job demand, high schools had been made, with a curriculum focused on sensible job skills that would better prepare students for white collar or skilled blue collar function.
When somebody tries to enhance education, the educational establishment itself sometimes showers the person with criticism rather than gratitude. I asked the query for the reason that I am sure that recognition of health-related physicians is as a result of education. He learnt this when he was in the university and that is 1 standard energy of education. The Enlightenment saw the emergence of a additional secular educational outlook in Europe.
Some of the most valued educational sources obtainable are all the books , music and videos performs that belongs to Public Domain and have been written or recorded (on audio or video formats, most of them are preserved on world wide web archive site. Education is typically understood as a implies of overcoming handicaps, reaching greater equality, and acquiring wealth and status for all (Sargent 1994). Community colleges give another choice at this transitional stage of education. Education is also frequently perceived as a place where kids can create according to their exclusive wants and potentials, 45 with the goal of establishing just about every person to their full prospective.
Some claim that there is education inequality for the reason that kids did not exceed the education of their parents. Higher education normally involves function towards a degree-level or foundation degree qualification. Understanding the targets and signifies of educational socialization processes might also differ according to the sociological paradigm utilized. A reader of this write-up may possibly be confused when the introductory element of this web page included 'crime reduction' as one of the educational importance to nations.

A story rooted in farming, community & change
An icon since the 1950s, Heart Hill has stayed constant as the rest of Paso Robles has rapidly changed. The Niner family purchased the property in 2003 but the land has roots back to the early 1900s when cattle roamed the hillsides and whiskey was preferred to wine everywhere except for church. But to truly tell the story of Heart Hill we first have to tell the story of the two brothers who created it.
What is now Heart Hill Vineyard was originally part of a large cattle ranch owned by Claude and Dick Booker. Total acreage isn't known as the brothers continually purchased properties throughout their life but is estimated to stretch between 800 – 1,200 acres.
The two brothers were orphans from the Central Valley before being adopted by Ms. Booker who had owned the land for decades prior. The two graduated from Templeton High School in the late 1930s and spent their lives as bachelors on the land. Claude was drafted into World War II but returned to the ranch after where he devoted himself to the ranch, the community and the Templeton Men's softball team (legend has it he was an all-star catcher).
The Bookers were a pair of hardworking, humble & caring brothers who would absolutely hate being labeled as any of those things.
The Booker's ranch was surrounded by other farmers and they were apt to bale hay for an injured friend without being asked and without expectation of praise. To them it was just the right thing to do. As tenacious as they were helpful, this means they were also just as likely to perch on a hillside and systematically snipe every melon in a cranky neighbor's watermelon patch after he denied them access through a gate they had been using for years. To them it was just the right thing to do.
They were pillars in the community and donated buildings, created scholarships & more to the Templeton schools.
After they died, Dick in 1990 and Claude in 2000, they left their entire estate to charity. The sale of their land and all their holdings (including the Niner's purchase of Heart Hill) went into a trust to benefit an orphanage, the Salvation Army & the American Heart Association among others.
The stories about the Booker Brothers could fill a book but the bottom line is that they were farmers at heart. They worked the land they died on and spent their days together farming barley, oats & alfalfa along with raising chickens & cattle and lending a helping hand to anyone who needed it but didn't ask.
We've heard many stories throughout the years about the creation of the Heart but the real story is rarely told. In fact we ourselves did not know until a few months ago.
Sometime in the late 1950s, Claude & Dick hiked up on a hill and noticed an oak grove that almost looked like a heart. Brushing aside their hard farmer exteriors they decided to notch out just the top of the copse to make it really resemble a heart. In true Booker fashion this was accomplished with a pair of binoculars, lots of hiking & a tractor.
The heart has retained its signature shape ever since without any help from us. To our knowledge it only received the first round of trimming
As a company we aspire to be as hardworking, humble & caring as those who tread the land before us. Although the Booker Brothers no doubt would have rolled their eyes at farming wine grapes instead of barley they set an example of what passion looks like by devoting their life to their land, their animals & their community. Just like the Brothers, we own the land we farm and have a vested interest in its health & preservation; we're not in this for the short run and while the Heart will stay constant as things continue to change.
A big thank you to Jon & Jaci Wood for these stories – they are long-time residents & farmers on the West Side of Paso Robles who experienced the Brother's tenacity & generosity firsthand. we understand that a lot of stories surround the Booker brothers, please email us at email@example.com if you have additional stories or corrections to what is here*
As we get feedback & more stories from this post we will be adding additional information, photos & resources here. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to helping us tell the story of the Booker Brothers.

"(Claude) planted corn & tomatoes which he didn't eat, but like (sic) to give them to his friends. I hung around him and liked to help him so I could learn to be more like him: always thinking of others more than himself and he was witty! [...] He tip-toed out to see his garden in his socks a few evenings before he died, just to watch the corn come up"

Battle lines have been drawn between residents and a mobile phone giant over plans to site a permanent mast on Field Road.
A temporary mast is currently in operation but EE are in pre-consultation with residents over a permanent structure.
People living on the tree lined street are unhappy with the plans and were angered when an agent acting on behalf of the phone network provider sent them a list of potential other sites with reasons why they were not suitable.
There were 23 suggested sites including Inter Hire Power Tool Service on Park Road, and highways owned land off Park Roads.
They were deemed unsuitable because they were deemed to close to residential areas and would be 'too visually intrusive and "as such would cause siting and appearance issues."
Kathryn Newbery told the Advertiser: "We haven't been given the opportunity to give our reasons for not wanting it there, yet these 23 sites have already been discounted.
"We have all made our opinions known to all of the companies involved.
"We do not want this mast right here on our door steps, temporary or permanent.
"The one on the college before was different, it was further away and much less intrusive.
"we will fight this all the way."
The residents have started an online petition to sign it visit http://chn.ge/1esshDk.
A spokseman for EE said: "We are presently undertaking a pre-planning consultation process with residents of Field Road, outlining our proposals and asking for their views.
"Although near to houses, the proposed permanent mast at the top of Field Road will be lower than the present temporary mast, of a very slim design, and set among trees on the site.
"The area has long been served by a telecoms mast, and although this is a proposed replacement to the previous college site, it is not introducing a new mast to the area.
"No date has yet been fixed for submission of a planning application and talks are continuing with the local planning authority.
"Following any planning application, residents have the opportunity to participate in the local authority's own consultation process to make representations on proposed schemes."

An NSX-T Data Center logical router reproduces routing functionality in a virtual environment completely decoupled from underlying hardware. Tier-1 logical routers have downlink ports to connect to NSX-T Data Center logical switches and uplink ports to connect to NSX-T Data Center tier-0 logical routers.
When you add a logical router, it is important that you plan the networking topology you are building.
For example, this simple topology shows two logical switches connected to a tier-1 logical router. Each logical switch has a single VM connected. The two VMs can be on different hosts or the same host, in different host clusters or in the same host cluster. If a logical router does not separate the VMs, the underlying IP addresses configured on the VMs must be in the same subnet. If a logical router does separate them, the IP addresses on the VMs must be in different subnets.

Swing exchanging is a style of exchanging that holds an open position(s) in any event overnight and up to a few days or even a little while. It can consolidate both the specialized examination part of day exchanging and the major research part of contributing.
Swing exchanging still includes dynamic position administration yet uses longer time interims to decide value targets and stop-misfortune levels. Many lean toward swing exchanging as the more extensive time periods tend smooth out here and now "commotion" bringing about a more quiet experience contrasted with the excited pace of day exchanging.
Swing Trading Vs. Day Trading
Day Trading
As the name expresses, it's "day" exchanging which restrains the exchanging movement to a solitary day by day exchanging session. The United States values showcases authoritatively open for exchanging at 9:30 am EST (Eastern Standard Time) and shut down at 4:00 pm EST each Monday through Friday. Day exchanging is a style of exchanging that looks to benefit from purchasing and offering stocks (or any tradeable monetary instrument) intra-day and finishes off all positions previously the market close. This style doesn't bring about overnight hazard since everything is finished off to money before the day's over.
Pre-showcase exchanging can begin as right on time at 4:00 am EST. through ECNs (electronic interchanges systems) and shut down at 8:00 pm EST. Check with your particular online dealer to affirm get to data.
Similitudes Between Day Trading and Swing Trading
Day exchanging and swing exchanging share numerous similitudes. Truth be told, swing exchanging can nearly be viewed as a type of day exchanging that is performed on a substantially bigger time period. A similar kind of exchange administration and example set-ups are used, yet with more extensive value ranges.
Looks To Profit From Near-Term Price Action Versus Buy and Hold Investing
Both day exchanging and swing exchanging look to benefit from moderately shorter/close term value activity contrasted with a purchase and hold venture system. Long haul speculations might be held for a considerable length of time in a uninvolved limit. Day exchanging included the most dynamic administration from moment to minute. Swing exchanging still requires checking relying upon the holding time, yet can extend from hourly to day by day.
Example Set-Up Based Trades
Both day exchanging and swing exchanging spin around playing diagram design set-ups utilizing specialized investigation. Day exchanging centers around the shorter time period form of a specific example, while swing exchanging centers around the more extended time allotment adaptation of the example. By utilizing a blend of pointers and example set-ups, the two sorts of merchants try to enter and leaves positions for a benefit, while overseeing danger and reward.
Can play the two sides of the market
Both day exchanging and swing exchanging can play long or short positions. While any presentation in the market either long or short can hold up under hazard, a short position tends to convey significantly more potential hazard because of the likelihood of a short-crush. Overnight and swing short positions must be checked all the more painstakingly since these require the utilization of edge to obtain shares. The capability of misfortune is in fact boundless.
Contrasts Between Day Trading and Swing Trading
Time allotment
Swing exchanging includes a more drawn out holding period because of using more extensive time allotment outlines. The diagramming time allotment interims regularly utilized for swing exchanging are 15-minutes, 30-minutes, a hour, day by day and week after week. Brokers searching for more exact section and leaves will move to the 1-moment and 5-minute graphs for exchange executions.
Overnight Event Risk
The exacting recognizing distinction between day exchanging and swing exchanging is the overnight occasion chance factor. Day exchanging takes no overnight positions, while swing exchanging includes taking overnight position(s) that can traverse up to a little while. Informal investors trust that the wild and flighty nature of an overnight occasion is excessively hazard to hold up under, particularly since they have no entrance to diminishing the hazard in the small hours of the morning before the market opens. Overnight occasion hazard can be as normal as a hole down in the S&P 500 fates to an unexpected sudden income cautioning, which can spell calamity for a long position.
Less Monitoring/Efficiency/Less Time Constraints
Swing exchanging requires less very close checking contrasted with day exchanging, where seconds to minutes matter the most. This makes swing exchanging more advantageous for dealers who have all day employments or restricted market access amid the exchanging day. Brokers who have a more uninvolved disposition or get squirmed excessively with shorter time spans have a tendency to lean toward swing exchanging.
Less Trading Activity
Swing exchanging costs less in commissions because of the littler recurrence of exchanges contrasted with day exchanging. Swing exchanges may add up to only a couple of merchants for each week contrasted with the tens to many exchanges that a dynamic day exchanging may execute.
Swing Trading Under PDT Rules
Brokers that don't meet the base $25,000 adjust under PDT (Pattern Day Trader) guidelines may consider swing exchanging since overnight positions don't qualify as intraday roundtrips. The PDT run limits dealers to three intraday roundtrips if the adjust is under $25,000. Swing exchanges sidestep this stipulation since all positions are held at least one overnight.
Bigger Price Moves
Swing brokers can exploit bigger value moves (i.e. multi-day sprinters) that may focus on a few focuses contrasted with informal investors that may target just 10 to 30 penny scalps. Be that as it may, the bigger value swings cuts both ways. Bigger stop misfortunes are additionally utilized with swing exchanges. To counterbalance this instability hazard, swing exchanges tend to hold littler measured positions (ie: 300-500 offers) contrasted with day exchanges that can augment the utilization of use (ie: 1000-5000 offers) by focusing on little holding periods that may last from seconds to minutes.
Apparatuses of the Trade
Regardless of whether day exchanging or swing exchanging, there are sure essential instruments of the exchange that you will require with a specific end goal to give yourself the most obvious opportunity at progress.
Specialized Analysis
This is the style of research that lone concentrates on the stock's value activity, not the business operations. The stock's value history is examined on an outline to recognize and foresee normally repeating value designs. Brokers endeavor to catch benefits by putting exchanges
The most fundamental apparatus of specialized examination is a value diagram. There are many kinds of diagrams including candle, bar and line outlines. The graphs are additionally fragmented into various time interims. Informal investors have a tendency to organize shorter time allotment interims like the 1-minute, 5-moment and 15-minute diagrams, which are best for intraday exchanging. Swing merchants like to utilize bigger time period interims like the hour long, day by day and week by week graphs. The more extensive circumstances outlines take into account smoother value activity.
Diagram Patterns
Diagram designs depend on repeating verifiable value activity. They delineate value breakouts or breakdowns. Breakouts frame when request overpowers supply and makes the value break out of the present value run as it rises higher shaping an uptrend. An uptrend makes higher highs on bobs and higher lows on pullbacks.
[ Further Reading: A Guide to Use Bollinger Bands ]
Breakdowns frame when value falls bring down from the present exchanging reach and keep on falling logically bring down shaping a downtrend. A downtrend makes bring down highs on ricochets and lower lows on offer offs. The strategy in which value frames these breakouts and breakdowns are distinguished and named for future reference and triggers. Regular diagram designs incorporate triangles, head and shoulders, wedges and banners.
Specialized Indicators
Specialized pointers are pre-modified outline devices that measure different components to help the broker in dissecting backing, protection and overbought/oversold perusing to distinguish exchange triggers. Exchange triggers are purchase and offer signs created by the value activity with respect to the particular example.
Cost and Momentum Tools
Value apparatuses like moving midpoints and pattern lines help to track the bearing of the fundamental stock. Force devices like stochastic, RSI and MACD help to decide whether the value move is in the beginning times or getting long in the tooth. By consolidating cost and force pointers, merchants can quantify and pinpoint passages and ways out with enhanced accuracy.
Central Analysis: Earnings/News/Press Releases
Central investigation is the exploration of an organization's operations. Profit reports have a tendency to have the most material effect on stock cost. Both informal investors and swing merchants should focus on central investigation to some degree. Informal investors will profits by realizing what might cause the hidden value hole up or down in a stock.
Swing brokers will give careful consideration to the basics and any important information from the organization since they are most influenced by occasion hazard, particularly overnight. The more drawn out the holding time, the more accentuation is put on the news and key elements since stock costs in the long run reflect how the hidden business is working and how the market trusts it will perform later on.

The Elf on the Shelf story book and Elf were introduced to the public in 2005. And since then, that innocent looking Elf has wreaked havoc around here! He's been (unwittingly) threatening the belief in Santa since 2005 in this house!
I hate to sound all Scrooge-y, and I know all of you probably love him, but that Elf is driving me crazy!
In 2005 I had a 7-year-old, a 5-year-old and a newborn. We already had traditions, and the bigs were old enough to remember them. I couldn't have some Elf just show up out of nowhere. That would have caused suspicion. So what did I do when they saw that other kids had the Elf? I told them that Santa only sent the Elf to the naughty kids! It was a quick response – I didn't think it through! But it worked. Then suddenly, everybody had the Elf and my kids still think he's only for the naughty kids!
Now I have a 13-year-old who doesn't believe, and 11-year-old who is on the fence and a 6-year-old who could really use an Elf. I'm afraid if an Elf suddenly shows up, it'll push the 11-year-old into the non-believer camp, and I'm afraid that if I wait until next year, the seven-year old will be suspicious!
Ugh! That Elf has been a thorn in my side for 6 years! I can't be the only one. How have you all handled the Elf with older kids in the house?
I worry about my grandparents. They're old. I've always worried about them. I think of how lucky I am to still have them in my life – as an active part of my life. I'm truly blessed.
I never worried about my parents though. They're young. In their 60's. Plus, they're my parents. They'll always be here. Well, over the past few months, I've realized how very wrong I've been.
You see, age means nothing. My grandparents are old. But they're healthy. Health is everything. My parents aren't well. And, they're probably not ever going to be great-grandparents. Not for lack of trying. They both take good care of themselves, but both have had the misfortune of being stricken with diseases they never saw coming, and probably couldn't have prevented anyway.
I spent the morning with my mother, and the afternoon crying about her. Then I received a call about my father and spent the evening at the hospital. And now here I am, wide awake in the middle of the night, thinking about my parents and how much time I have left with them. And how to make it count.
I always thought they'd be here, and now I now they won't. I'm trying to figure out how to balance it all out. Caring for my family and my parents at the same time. Making sure that I'm preserving memories for myself and my children. Making the right choices – for everyone involved.
It's a lot. A lot more than I ever imagined. I just thought they'd be here forever. Simple, right? Wrong.

Shaping Up(HKTDC Electronics, Vol 02,2007)
Healthcare Electronics
|C & L Elegance Mfy Ltd's programmable pill timers include the Medi-Chest with cutter and grinder
More and more people worldwide are beginning to realise the benefits of taking care of their health, but better diets and more exercise are clearly not cutting it for many.
Latest research indicates that US healthcare spending, for example, is projected to increase from US$2.17tn in 2006 to US$2.88tn in 2010, fuelling similar growth in healthcare items.
Inevitably, in today's modern age, these health and well-being products are boosting business at electronics companies farsighted enough to spot this growing trend.
Several of Hong Kong's established manufacturers, for instance, have added healthcare electronics to their product list, while newly-formed companies are coming into the market specifically to address this niche.
Twenty-three-year-old C & L Elegance Mfy Ltd has recently added healthcare electronics to its wide range of products, which includes clocks, watches, timers, stationery and gift and premium items. "We launched three pill-timer products earlier this year," explains export manager Eddy Cheung.
He says C & L's decision was motivated by the fact that most of the existing timers on the market were too complicated. "However, our Medi-Chest, Medi-Daily and Medi-Pal products are very easy to use - this is very important for elderly people in particular," Cheung claims. "These products are attracting interest from customers around the world, including the US, Europe, India and Southeast Asia."
The Medi-Pal features a 24-hour timer, a programmable medication timer and accommodates all types of capsules and tablets. It has a sliding cover to protect the buttons, comes with a handy neck string and clip and is unit-priced at US$1.10 FOB Hong Kong.
The Medi-Daily reminds users up to 24 times a day, repeats automatically and is unit-priced at US$2.20. The larger Medi-Chest includes pill cutter and grinder functions, provides up to five separate doses per day for seven days and costs US$6.50 each.
"We have a fully vertically-integrated factory on the Chinese mainland," says Cheung. "Everything - including printing - is under our control."
The 40,000-square-foot factory is staffed by 250-300 workers who utilise ABS and electronic components from Japan, Korea, Taiwan and the mainland. "We request a minimum order of 5,000 pieces per style delivered 30 days after order confirmation," Cheung says. "We have our own brand name - Glason - but we can also do customers' labels, too."
Relative newcomer Grandway Technology Ltd has been manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics since 1991, and last year added healthcare items to its range. "Studies show that there is a growing market for these products as people become more health-conscious," observes marketing manager Simon Ng.
Grandway tested the market with diet scales and is now launching its Body Composition Analyser, which incorporates a number of functions including body-to-fat ratio, muscle ratio, water ratio, and body mass index.
The Body Composition Analyser is manufactured at Grandway's 9,000-square-metre, 300-worker, ISO 9001-certified factory on the mainland, using ICs sourced from Taiwan, LCDs from Hong Kong and other components from Japan.
Grandway, which has its own Framingham brand but also produces customers' private labels, requires minimum order quantities of 3,000 units delivered 45-65 days after order confirmation.
"We are particularly looking to Western European markets where there is a lot of interest in this type of product," Ng reveals, adding that the Body Composition Analyser is unit-priced at US$5.25 FOB Hong Kong. "We'd also like to launch it in the US."
One of the newest companies to enter the healthcare electronics field is four-year-old Aiko Beauty Products Ltd, which general manager David Ng says strives to develop products that are practical and useful.
"We work with universities to develop their patented technologies into products that are commercially viable," he explains, adding that the technology behind the patented NCCO-1000 air-purifier originated from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
"The purifier adapts the Nano-Confined Catalytic Oxidation (NCCO) process to provide the purest air possible," explains Ng. "The nano filter acts as a catalyst to speed up the decomposition of pollutants and airborne bacteria, eliminates harmful organic compounds and reduces respiration-suspended particles to avoid the spread of fungi and bacteria."
Ng claims many ion air-purifiers remove odours but the particles simply evaporate, decompose and become attracted to surfaces such as walls, floors and furniture. "However, the NCCO filter traps the ions, and uses an oxidation process to decompose them internally."
The purifier is produced at Aiko's ISO 9001-certified factory on the Chinese mainland, which covers 260,000 square feet and employs 1,450 workers.
FOB prices are available on request, but Ng says Aiko delivers minimum order quantities of 3,000 pieces 45-70 days after order confirmation.
The NCCO air-purifier was launched onto the market in late 2006 and is already proving popular in Europe, as well as the Chinese mainland. "We are now working with the US market and also aim to find customers in Eastern Europe and Russia," Ng adds.
There's certainly a healthy future in store for those buyers who want to take advantage of the growing market for healthcare electronics from Hong Kong.

Dog Litter Box Furniture
Cat Litter Box - Furniture
Litter Box Furnishings Will Modify The World For You And Your Cat! As a cat owner, it is quite critical for you to pick the correct box for your cat. Rose was on The Jimmy Kimmel Show and said if he had to vote, he leans Obama." But he didn't have any plans to vote in California, simply because it was a Democratic state. Produced from high stress laminate and easy to assemble, the Litter Box Hider from Modern Cat Styles is both functional and appealing. Although a cat is recovering from being declawed they can not use standard cat litter due to the danger of infection and the pain of digging by means of modest pieces of litter. You ought to also know that the litter you select might turn off your cat - unscented, clumping selections are ideal. Alternatively, cats might spray out of aggravation with their situations, such as such conditions as restrictive diets or insufficient playtime (a reaction that owners typically misperceive as revenge), or in response to the smell of new furnishings and carpet. We tried brand soon after brand and none could compare to the high quality for the price of Petco Scoopable Cat Litter It clumps extremely nicely, keeps the odor in verify and does not empty our bank account. Cats that favor an alternate location usually have an aversion to the current litter box place. Hidden Spot #13)Â Using reclaimed wood gives this litter box hiding spot the 'pick of the day' for me! When cat-proofing your home, keep in thoughts that cats will consume just about anything and will play with just about something. Plus, you want to direct kitty to the toilet so the only time you should move it is when you are raising the litter box to be level with the toilet, then more than the toilet, the eliminate it altogether. Impacted pets might use the litter box far more frequently than usual or might need to be taken for a lot more walks due to frequent, urgent bowel movements. I switched from clay litter to pine sawdust (fine shaved horse bedding - don't just use standard ol' sawdust, the chemical compounds are bad for kitties). Our Modern day Cat Condo offers cats a place to lounge, play and perch —perfect as a vantage point subsequent to your cat's preferred window.

The less matting in the fur, the much less hair in danger of dragging in the litter box. Hidden Spot #four)Â This inventive cat-lover took an old trunk she located at a yard sale and cut a hole in the back…that's it. The lid opens to give you access for cleaning the litter but otherwise it just appears cool in any space! These pet furnishings covers are perfect for a comfortable resting spot for you and your pet. If you are searching for a box that will offer you with extra storage, then each Merry Pet or Pet Studio will do fine. Like our preceding enclosure, this box does come with a insert wall that you can pick to put in or leave out. Pinterest has a complete page devoted to the art of repurposing missing puzzle or game pieces, and we really like this DIY heart wreath made from painted jigsaw pieces from Essentials. And if kitty is an achieved litter kicker, you can wind up with a lot more mess outdoors the box than in it. I have a litter box that he will not even go in. I am not positive this is anything that will ever cease. Some are actual furniture pieces, other individuals involve much more inventive and stylish box designs, and other folks are something altogether diverse. As the location for where to purchase Litter Boxes & Enclosures on the internet, you'll really like purchasing at Wayfair!

Posted on January 05, 2016
Whether you are new to essential oils, an old hand, or the yogi of the aromatherapy mountain, understanding how to integrate the aromatic benefits of essential oils using holistic aromatherapy principles is ongoing. More and more people are grasping the benefits of choosing natural products over synthetic ones to care for their bodies, clean their homes, and create uplifting and healthy atmospheres. And there are increasingly more products that make this task easier and more efficient. Companies like Young Living and doTerra tout aromatherapy diffusers for the car, the office, or for a personal space. The variety can be a bit overwhelming, like trying to choose the outstanding leaf in a veritable forest of green choices.
But don't despair. To select an aroma diffuser for your space and circumstances, there are a few things to know about how diffusers work. The best essential oil diffuser gets oils into the air so that you can be exposed to the benefits … sweet orange for a better mood, lavender for stress relief, or rosemary for focus. The rest is a matter of choice … decisions about efficiency, style, convenience, and control. There are four basic types of diffusers for essential oils; nebulizing, ultrasonic, evaporative, and heat. Each works a bit differently, and each has strengths.
Nebulizers are a style of essential oil diffuser that take oil, straight up, and turn it into mist. They work like a perfume atomizer, mixing pumped air into liquid oil to create a vapor. They don't need water to operate, and can quickly produce a large amount of vaporized oil. Because of their high output, they are best for therapeutic settings where a saturation of essential oil is desired. But because they use oils at a higher rate, some people find them expensive to use. These machines are a noisier than other types of oil diffusers, and can be hard to clean.
An ultrasonic diffuser uses a vibrating plate to convert a mix of water and a few drops of oil into a micro-particle mist. The water helps to humidify the air, and is easily absorbed through the lungs for health benefits. If you care about style, the best ultrasonic essential oil diffusers are beautiful. They range from zen simplicity to contemporary flamboyance. This type of diffuser is quiet enough to be used overnight or in a shared office space. They are easy to clean and maintain. They require less oil than nebulizers, and depend on natural air circulation to disperse the aroma. An ultrasonic oil diffuser is not overly expensive, but can have a short career without proper maintenance. Citrus essential oils are especially culpable at eroding the vibrating plate and inducing an early demise for your diffuser. But with proper maintenance and knowledge about the best essential oils for diffusers, they will last for years, even with frequent use. See an example of one of our favorites.
The best evaporative essential oil diffusers work like a swamp cooler – a fan blows air through a pad or filter soaked with essential oil. Other types are even more basic. A reed diffuser, for instance, relies on wicking power. Evaporative diffusers are the eight-track-tape of diffusing technology. They don't have a high output, and you have less control to adjust aromas and blends based on your whims.
But they are basic, easy to manage, and are quiet.
Heat diffusers use … you guessed it … heat to diffuse oils. They are economical, and work great in small spaces like vehicles and cubicles. No worries about bothering coworkers with noise – they are silent when operating. Some people worry about altering the chemical constituents of the natural oils with heat, and about the safety of using a hot unit unattended. But if you need something small, inexpensive or quiet, this is a good bet.
Knowing the pros and cons of diffuser technology will help you to choose the best one for your space. Whatever you choose, making the decision to treat yourself and your family with natural essential oils is certainly a move toward better wellbeing.

|Molecular markers of brain damage--clinical and ethical implications with particular focus on cardiac arrest.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 14530575 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Although 25-50% of patients suffering from cardiac arrest can be stabilised haemodynamically, the hospital discharge rate is only 2-14%. One of the major causes of this discrepancy is persistent brain damage. Studies to assess the prognostic value of early prediction of neurologic and overall outcome in patients with cardiac arrest have not yet produced precise and generally accepted diagnostic rules. As apparative diagnostic methods often fail to predict neurologic outcome, the role of molecular markers has come a focus of common interest for early outcome prediction. This systematic review article aims to give an overview on the most important molecular markers for neurologic and overall outcome prediction and outline the advantages, clinical implications and ethical issues in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation after cardiac arrest. For this purpose, the traditional marker for brain damage, the neuron-specific enolase, a gamma gamma isomer of enolase and cytoplasmatic enzyme of glycolysis, and the astroglial protein S100, a calcium-binding protein regulating neuronal differentiation, outgrowth, and apoptosis, are analysed and their role discussed as a marker for brain damage in general and recovery after cardiopulmonary resuscitation following cardiac arrest. Neuron-specific enolase has been investigated as a neuro-marker after brain damage and for outcome prediction in unconscious patients. Whereas the protein S100 has proven to be a good marker for neuronal damage after isolated brain injury, its role in cardiac surgery is not as clear: at least, in the early postoperative phase S100 is not a sole marker for neurologic damage, as release of S100 from cardiac tissue and other sources has also been demonstrated. However, the persistent elevation of S100 after cardiac surgery is specific for neurologic impairment. Most interestingly, after cardiac arrest the protein S100 has shown to be a good survival marker for overall outcome prediction. Although it cannot be absolutely determined whether cerebral or cardiac release of S100 is predominant in this clinical setting, recent studies have revealed that S100 serum levels are a useful diagnostic tool for outcome prediction. In contrast, after cardiac arrest serum levels of protein S100 did not reach a 100% specificity and sensitivity in clinical studies, and, therefore, elevated S100 in these patients has to be interpreted with caution. Nonetheless, low S100 serum levels have been correlated with good outcome and, therefore, even if all other diagnostic tests indicate poor outcome, all therapeutic efforts must be undertaken, as no single study has shown that normal S100 serum levels were associated with poor prognosis.

France/Côte d'Ivoire
Paris, 24 May 2011
Last Saturday, President Sarkozy and the delegation accompanying him attended the investiture in Yamoussoukro of President Ouattara, who delivered a very high-quality speech, a speech of national reconciliation that gave us great cause for hope in the future of Côte d'Ivoire.
Having said that, the challenges he faces are huge, and we expressed our readiness to support and help him, not in a colonizing spirit but with a view to cooperation with and assistance to a country that seeks it, with due regard for its sovereignty.
We're going to work in two directions. First of all, we'll work on the economic reconstruction of Côte d'Ivoire. The French Development Agency has already released major assets. President Sarkozy has announced a particularly ambitious debt reduction and development contract; we'll intervene on behalf of SMEs to facilitate their financing. The G8 will welcome Africa, particularly Côte d'Ivoire, where the Prime Minister will go in July to step up France's efforts still further.
Furthermore, we're going to work on consolidating peace and security, by supporting the restructuring of the Ivorian armed forces and maintaining a robust United Nations force, but also by adapting our own Licorne force with a view to having a more modest contingent.
In any case, I can tell you that when, in front of some 20 African heads of State and the United Nations Secretary-General in Yamoussoukro, we heard the huge crowd of young Africans chanting France's name and President Sarkozy's name in the streets of the political capital of Côte d'Ivoire, we said to ourselves that we'd done good work for Côte d'Ivoire and for Africa./.

Twelve South today launched the "MagicBridge," an accessory that combines Apple's Magic Keyboard with a Magic Trackpad 2 into one connected control surface, letting users "type and swipe more efficiently," according to the company. The versatile accessory supports orientations for both left-handed and right-handed users.
MagicBridge has cutouts in the back for the on/off toggles and Lightning connectors of Apple's typing and trackpad accessories. The MagicBridge itself is made up of white polycarbonate to match the Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad, with silicone pads on the inside to protect each when they're placed in the frame of Twelve South's accessory.
Ever notice the Wireless Keyboard & Trackpad 2 look like they were supposed to go together? By connecting these profile twins, you'll create one larger keyboard that's much easier to use than the smaller pieces by themselves. Also, when your trackpad is predictably beside your keys – you can find it with your fingers without looking down. Touch-typing is now Touch-tracking. Cleaner, faster, more stable control. Now that's magic.
The MagicBridge is an update to Twelve South's previous device, called the MagicWand, which connected the original Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad and provided a steeper angle for typing.
Users interested can purchase the MagicBridge today from Twelve South's website for $34.99.

They didn't have nearly as much 'stuff' as was usual, but still enough to keep me occupied for an hour.
Finds ....
- A fabric covered sewing box filled with embroidery threads. I didn't need the box, and, after taking out the threads, gave it back to them to sell again. The threads are good timing; I'm running low on the bright colors for the Padillies.
- A variety of laces. One of these is a collar that I have immediate plans for; the rest will go to inventory.
- 6 Pins ... the type that go on clothing or bags. Not sure why I'm still collecting these; must have at least 70 or 80 by now. By, I am, and a quarter each is a fine price.
- A necklace made up of different sized silver metal disks. Think I'll take this partially apart and attach it to a bag.
Although it was fun, I still don't plan to return to my established yard sale circle until, at least, October, or later.

Wincro's Design Manager Chris Allott has taken on a bricklaying course to gain first-hand experience of how the guys on site operate to aid in development of Wincro products.
This is all undertaken at the Construction and Design centre, at the Kier site in Sheffield, the training centre works closely with Sheffield city council, Kier and other major companies for their training needs and apprenticeships.
Whilst Chris was on the course Wincro supplied free training materials, products examples and Type 2 Cavity Wall Ties (WT2), for use by the trainees.
Wincro believe it is extremely important that the next generation of Bricklayers coming through schools and apprenticeships, work with the most up to date and commonly used products!
Chris Allott, Design Manager, Wincro: "I'm really enjoying the course, and gaining a better understanding of the bricklaying process. This will help the Wincro Tech Team and myself gain knowledge of the materials and building products used within our industry which I believe is very important when dealing with our customers."
Nigel, Course Tutor, Kier: "Thanks to Wincro for supplying the product and it's good to know that some of the companies out there appreciate the bricklaying vocation at the grass roots level".
To find out how Wincro can help develop cost effective building solutions call our Technical Design team on 0114 242 2171 or email them at email@example.com.

Before you create a backup copy job, check the following prerequisites:
- Backup infrastructure components that will take part in the backup copy process must be added to the backup infrastructure and properly configured. These include source and target backup repositories between which backups must be copied.
- The target backup repository must have enough free space to store copied backups. To receive alerts about low space on the backup repository, configure global notification settings. For more information, see Specifying Other Notification Settings.
- If you plan to use pre-job and/or post-job scripts, you must create scripts before you configure the backup copy job.
- [For backup mapping] The backup copy job can be mapped to a backup if the backup chain is created with the incremental backup method. You cannot map the backup copy job to a backup if the backup chain is created with the reverse incremental backup method or contains both incremental and reverse incremental restore points (for example, if the backup chain was transformed).
If you plan to use WAN accelerators for backup copying, check the following prerequisites and limitations:
- Source and target WAN accelerators must be added to the backup infrastructure and properly configured. For more information, see Adding WAN Accelerators.
- A license for Enterprise Plus Edition for Veeam Backup & Replication must be installed on the backup server.
- It is recommended that you pre-populate the global cache on the target WAN accelerator before you start the backup copy job. Global cache population helps reduce the amount of traffic transferred over WAN. For more information, see Populating Global Cache.
- You cannot use WAN accelerators for backup copy jobs that copy backups of Amazon EC2 instances

As I've discussed before, There are a lot of challenges involved in displaying all of my bottles and cans. Today, I would really like to put a call out to get some ideas on how to best handle my growing stockpile of cans. The end goal here is to use space on the ceiling to display them all.
The challenge is in how to get them to stay on the ceiling. In the past, I've tried fun-tack. But that doesn't seems to last forever and cans end up peeling away.
The current plan involves attaching magnets to the cans and sticking the magnets to metal rails that I can attach to the ceiling.
There are two problems with this approach. One is that, even though I am using only a small dot of adhesive on the magnet itself, all of the adhesives I have tried end up creating a ring of schmutz on the can that make it look like a 3 year old slathered paste all over the place.
The other problem is that all adhesives prove to be even less permanent than the fun-tack and the cans still end up peeling away from the ceiling. How are magnets and aluminum so impervious to adhesives? Son of a…
So… that leaves me with trying to find a method of getting the magnets to permanently stay on the can without permanently damaging or altering the can. As a test run, I've used masking tape and the magnets are, indeed, strong enough to still hold the can to the metal (I purchased really good magnets).
The problems with this approach are that the tape will end leaving adhesive junk all over the can and that it looks horrible for display purposes.
OK younglings. Time to start generating some ideas here. How can I get these cans up on the ceiling in a way that:
- Does not damage or alter the can itself
- Does not result in an ugly display
- Allows the magnet to have enough contact with the metal
- Is economically viable for 500+ cans?

A Sporting Pioneer: The British Lawn Mower Racing Association
The British Lawn Mower Racing Association was founded in 1973, the birth year of lawn mower racing, in Wisborough Green, West Sussex, England. The sport was created in order to give ordinary people a chance to experience the thrill of racing without having to worry about costs.
The idea of racing mowers came from Jim Gavin, a rally car driver, who saw a greens keeper mowing the cricket pitch. He thought that racing mowers would be a great alternative to expensive types of motor sports.
The idea was to keep costs down – no commercialism, sponsorship, and no cash prizes either. The race began as pure sport and pure fun.
Tot his day, the British Lawn Mower Racing Association sticks to its non-profit origins. Well organized races are held each year including the well anticipated 12-Hour Race. Any profit that the association realizes is given directly to charity.
Click Here to Discover Lawn Mower Racing Secrets
Racing Events and Groups:
The association holds different racing events each year, you can check out the calendar of events at http://www.blmra.com.uk to see if there is an event near your area. It's always fun to watch racing mowers top of 25 KPH (or 40 MPH for those on the West side of The Pond).
As far as racing groups are concerned, there are 4 types of mowers that are being raced and sanctioned by the British Lawn Mower Racing Association.
Group 1 – Classic, hand-held, roller driven mowers that can go as fast as you can run. This fun but exhausting type of lawn mower racing is a fantastic workout as you literally push the mower to the finish line. Only the strong and fit win these types of mower races.
Group 2 – These are self-propelled cylindrical mowers with towed seats. You can drive these types of racing mowers with either a tuned or un-tuned engine. Just make sure to that you browse the handbook for your specific race.
Group 3 – Ride-on, wheel driven mowers with chassis and no more than 18HP engines. The rule is, your mower should be originally designed and sold to mow domestic lawns. The British Lawn Mower Racing Association is very strict with this rule.
This is an exciting group to race in because the experience is similar to riding an ATV; rugged and bumpy. You must have your racing mowers approved before you can race.
Group 4 – These are tractor type mowers with covered front-mounted engine. This is becoming the favorite among the groups because of the thrill and adrenaline rush that it generates. Mowers in this group can reach speeds of up to 31KPH (50MPH).
As with group 3, all group 4 mowers must be approved by a representative of the British Lawn Mower Racing Association prior to racing.
Unlike its American counterparts (USLMRA and ALMRA) the BLMRA limits engine modifications allowed to keep costs down. On most races, the governor and pulleys are the only ones that you can touch.
If you are interested in racing mowers, you can contact the British Lawn Mower Racing Association via their website at http://www.blmra.co.uk.

Wind erosion processes consist of abrasion, the scouring of exposed surfaces by the sand-blasting action of wind-borne material; and deflation, the removal of sand-sized and smaller particles by the wind.
The Canadian Shield refers to the exposed portion of the continental crust underlying the majority of North America. The crust, also known as the North American Craton, extends from northern Mexico to Greenland and consists of hard rocks at least 1 billion years old. With the exception of the Canadian Shield, the rocks of the North American Craton are buried deep within the continent and covered by soil and other material. At 5 million km2, the Shield makes up roughly 50 per cent of Canada's land mass. Shaped like a horseshoe — or the shields carried during hand-to-hand combat — the Canadian Shield extends from Labrador in the east to include nearly all of Québec, much of Ontario and Manitoba, the northern portion of Saskatchewan, the northeast corner of Alberta, much of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut and into the Arctic Archipelago. (It also reaches into parts of the United States, in New York, Wisconsin and Minnesota.) While at times a barrier to settlement, the Shield has also yielded great resources, including minerals, coniferous forests and the capacity for hydroelectric developments.
The Cassiar District lies in British Columbia's northwest corner; it historically encompasses the Stikine and Dease River watersheds and that of the upper Taku, NASS and Kechika.
Origins Lava tube caves, an important minor class, are formed by channelled outflow of molten lava in congealing flows. Sea caves most commonly result from erosion by waves.
The Columbia Icefield is a mass of ice covering a high plateau between Mount Columbia (3747 m), the highest point in Alberta, and Mount Athabasca (3491 m), located between Banff and Jasper national parks, along the BC-Alberta border.
Drumlin, smooth, half egg-shaped or ellipsoidal hill which formed beneath Quaternary GLACIERS. Drumlins [Gaelic druim, "hill"] were first described in Ireland. They lie parallel to the direction of ice movement, the blunt (stoss) end facing up-glacier, the lee sloping down-glacier.
An esker is a ridge (Gaelic eiscir, "ridge") of gravel and sand emplaced during glacial melt by the deposition of sediments from meltwater rivers flowing on the ice (channel fills) or beneath a glacier (tunnel fills).
In oceanographic terminology, fjords are estuaries, ie, semienclosed bodies of water in which seawater is measurably diluted by fresh water from land drainage.
The Fraser River Canyon was formed during the Miocene period (22.9-5.33 million years ago) when the river cut down into the uplifting southern part of the Interior Plateau of British Columbia. The canyon characteristics of this
A glacier is a large mass of ice, formed at least in part on land, that shows evidence of present or past movement. It is formed by the compaction and recrystallization of snow into ice crystals and commonly also contains air, water and rock debris. With approximately 200,000 km2 of glacier coverage in the Arctic and the West, Canada is home to a significant percentage of the world's glaciers. By 2100, however, scientists predict that those in Alberta and British Columbia will have lost 70 per cent of their 2005 volume due to climate change.
Hells Gate is a narrow rocky gorge of the Fraser River Canyon south of Boston Bar, British Columbia.
Ice caps are large masses of ice that rest on land and cover most of the underlying landscape.
Early formed, dense crystals may separate from the magma, causing a change in the composition of the residual melt.
A karst landform is a geological feature created on the earth's surface by the drainage of water into the ground.
Lake Agassiz was the largest glacial lake in North America. It was formed 11 500 years ago in front of the northeastwardly retreating Laurentide Ice Sheet, which acted as a dam.
Earth's surface experiences change driven by relief, sea level, hydroclimate and human activity. Extreme hydroclimatic events combined with human activity on steep slopes and/or adjacent to low-lying coasts generate natural hazards.

Harry Was Wrong: Women and Men as Friends and Colleagues
The movie When Harry Met Sally has a famous dinner conversation where Harry states, "men and women can't be friends because the sex part always gets in the way." He was neither the first nor the last to express a sentiment that has consistently brought fear and suspicion into cross-sex relationships. While we should be cautious in our society of affairs, divorce, and casual sex, the time has come to look beyond our societal issues and ask whether that fear and suspicion among brothers and sisters is all we can hope for in the family of Christ. We need diverse perspectives in all aspects of society—even in our interpersonal relationships. This seminar will explore this question biblically and theologically, and move forward with practical steps to form friend and colleague relationships with the opposite sex. Remember, Jesus had several close friends who were women.

Title: Dreamwalk
Author: Sarah MacManus
Publisher: Young Rebel Productions
Release Date: March 14, 2011
Received From: Teen {book} Scene
DREAMWALK is a romantic mixed beat of time travel and mythology for both teens and adults. After the death of her mother, Chloe Hawthorn is haunted by terrifying nighttime hallucinations. Determined to take control of her dreams, she uses them to find Shane Anderson, a charming and troubled musician whose online videos have been holding her in thrall. She finds him in the Dreamtime, sweating out heroin detox in a run-down rehab center.
Chloe sets out to find Shane in the waking world and discovers her dreams have been taking her into the past. Horrified, Chloe realizes Shane doesn't survive his addictions. In order to save him, Chloe must master her Australian mother's legacy — the secret of walking the Dreaming through time. But what price will Chloe pay for this Dreamwalk and will she save Shane only to lose him forever?
Review: This book was very different than anything I ad read before. I originally picked it up cause the premise sounded so exciting. It is only 149 pages so its not very long, but a lot of story was crammed into those few pages.
I loved experiencing Chloe and Shane's relationship through both their eyes and was surprised to see it portrayed in this way. Chloe kind of made me mad how she refused to try and get used to her life in New York because people have to move all the time you know?
The only other problem I had was that it was kind of slow in my opinion, basically the same thing happened over and over for about 20 pages. But beyond that it was a very interesting book!

How To Help Your Hair Love Heat Styling
Let's face the facts: You know that using heat to style your hair can cause dryness, breakage, and split ends. Specifically, heat damages your strands by causing hair's naturally smooth coating to become rough—rippling instead of sitting flat on the cuticle, as it should.
Yet, like nickel shot night or an all-you-can-eat carb buffet (a girl can dream, right?), we keep coming back for more—despite the danger of damage.
Does that mean you need to swear off hot tools forever?
Not quite! With a few straightforward steps, you can learn to be lovely towards your locks while maintaining the looks you love.
1. Apply a Heat Protectant Before Styling
Every time you pick up that hot tool or blow dryer, always, always, always, make sure you have a heat protectant in your hair—it's as important as sunscreen on your skin.
We love H-Line's Elixir 11 for its heat protecting properties, formulated with key ingredients that really coat the strand, it makes a seal that helps reduce damage to the cuticle. Another way Elixir 11 helps you beat the heat? It acts as a detangler, so you're not stretching or breaking the hair when you run hot tools through it.
Whether you're using an all-in-one product or a single-purpose heat protectant, just remember that no amount of product can guard your hair against excessive heat—so be cautious of allowing your hot tools to sit for too long on a single area.
2. Learn What High-Tech Tools Can Help Reduce Damage
Heat styling tools don't have to cost a fortune, but they do need some basic features. Look for tools that have more than one temperature setting. Extra points if it displays temperatures on a screen since some tools can range from 175℉ all the way up to 400℉.
Additional options to look for include:
3. Know The Right Temperature For Your Hair
The finer the hair, the lower the temperature on your tools should be. So, if you're styling baby-fine strands, there's zero reason to turn that dial up to high.
However, that doesn't mean that those with thicker hair strands should crank it all the way up—temperatures over 400℉ should rarely be used by anyone who isn't a professional. Instead, follow this rough temperature guide:
If you find that those temperatures aren't getting the desired results, try to take smaller sections instead of turning up the heat.
4. Wipe Down Your Tools To Eliminate Grime
When was the last time you wiped down your flat iron? How about your curling wand?
If they haven't been working as well as they used to, the answer is probably eons ago. The product buildup may not be visible, but it's doing some serious damage to your tools—and your hair.
That's because the buildup of the polymers in many styling products is essentially melted plastic material that can adhere to your hair. That residue not only encourages split ends, but also creates a barrier of gunk that makes it harder for your tools to create polished curls or a smooth, straight finish.
How to clean your hot tools correctly?
The best method is to plug in your tool and let it warm up, and then unplug it and let it cool for a few minutes. Then dampen a washcloth with some rubbing alcohol, and wipe the plates or wand clean while the tool is still warm—the heat will make it easier to clean, so you're not picking and scraping at buildup that has cooled and hardened.
5. Don't Forget To Deep Condition
If you style your hair with heat on the regular, it's important to use a hair mask that includes protein. While your heat-damaged hair may look dry and thirsty, just a moisture or oil-based product alone won't work because you need to replenish the protein, the main component of our hair, and you need both protein and moisture in conjunction.
Has heat styling damage your hair beyond the help of at-home treatments? Get some professional help! At Shades Color Bar, we offer a keratin mask that imitates hair's original structure with proteins, helping to fill in damaged areas for amazing strength and shine.
